Chapter 89 – 53-1 Their Reaction.
“Smells good. Is it fish this morning?”
As soon as I opened the restaurant door, the faint smell of grilled fish wafted in. Rather than fishy, it was a slightly familiar smell that stimulated my appetite.
“Madame. What is this morning?”
“Student Allen, are you here? Why didn’t you come to the restaurant last week?”
“Oh, because I hurt her head and was hospitalized for a while. But today it stinks. Maybe an eel?”
“Oh? Does student Allen know eels too?”
“No way. Is there anyone who doesn’t even know eels?”
Small talk.
It was a conversation like any other, but as Allen shared her every detail with the lady at the restaurant, the sound and smell of the sizzling eel made her eyes turn toward it.
“Since she didn’t know she was hospitalized, I think the lady should serve her eel with plenty to commemorate her discharge.”
“Thank you if you do. Then I will sit down and wait!”
‘As expected, if you get along well with the restaurant lady, it comes with a bonus. Honey~’
Sitting in her chair and humming to her, Allen waited for her eel, which was gradually grilled to an appetizing taste.
“Are you here?”
“Uh, what is it? You woke up so early?”
She throws her head back when she hears a familiar voice behind Allen.
“Are you okay?”
“My body is fine now. Did you get the note?”
“Are you referring to the note you received from Miss Cordelia?”
“Okay.”
“I vowed to live with your sword. So whatever I write on the note, I have to follow it.”
“Young. The tone is still stiff.”
Before she left the academy, before she went to the elven forest, the content of the note she wrote was simple.
Don’t approach Mirai. Was
I didn’t want to see my henchman cursed and her stats reduced, or Mirai locked in her room again.
“Even if I apologized to that girl, she will still be deeply hurt.”
“Have you grown up while I was away? Why are you suddenly like this?”
“It’s just… I’m sorry. Until now, in the position of duke…”
Wellton continues the hard and boring story.
“Okay, okay. The point is simple. You’re reflecting Right?”
“Right.”
“That’s it.”
I checked the spell engraved on Welton’s prayer, wondering if he was telling a lie in front of me.
‘It’s not a lie. If he had lied hypocritically in front of me, he would have been hit a lot.’
“Then I will go. Breakfast is delicious…”
“Where? Let’s eat together.”
“No. That girl might come over for breakfast…”
“Just eat. Skipping meals at a very young age? Does that make sense? Hurry up and order five servings of eel rice bowl.”
“I get it. But why 5 servings?”
“You have to eat that much to grow her stamina.”
“I get it. Then go and come.”
Welton returns to his seat after ordering from the restaurant lady.
“Oh, and let’s go somewhere with me after class.”
“I get it.”
“Do you know where you are and reply quickly?”
“Even if it’s a battlefield, I won’t refuse, I just move forward. If it is your order.”
“It’s cheesy… Let’s go to Maros after class. They say they made good medicine.”
“Is it weak?”
“No. How to say… Rejuvenation potion? Same thing. It wouldn’t be good for you to drink it right now.”
“I get it. Then let’s go together after class.”
Two people having a short conversation.
Then, at the sound of breakfast being served, the two wake up at the same time.
****
‘I want to eat again. After all, eel… The best eel…’
Allen sits in the classroom wearing a gym suit and thinks of the eel rice bowl he ate this morning.
‘What will be served for lunch… If eel is served in the morning, what will be served for lunch…’
Allen, who inhaled seven servings of eel rice bowl piled up as a bonus from the restaurant lady, spread her happy imagination while resting her chin on her chin.
“Everyone be quiet.”
A low yet familiar voice came over the chaotic atmosphere.
“Allen Mestia. It looks like you’ve been discharged.”
“Yes. My head still hurts, but I’m discharged!”
“Yeah, that’s right. Hmmmm…”
When Allen says her head hurts, Cordelia clears her throat, covering her distorted face with the attendance sheet for a moment.
Seeing this, Allen grinned and looked at Cordelia.
“…It’s nothing else, it’s been decided that 1-A and 1-B will hold the festival jointly at this festival.”
The cluttered atmosphere rose again, and the students of the academy heard the keyword “Festival” And were overcome with strange excitement and heard various pleasant stories.
“The theme is theater. There has never been a collaboration with another class in the history of the academy, but this time we are going to take on a new challenge.”
‘Also. Since Cordelia has strong influence within the academy, it is easy to work together. Good.’
“Of course, you may not be willing to join with other classes at first. However. I’d rather take on an unprecedented challenge than just sit back and follow the same conventions as everyone else…”
The other students at the academy naturally admired how wonderful it was to see Cordelia listen to her with pricked ears.
‘You’re trying. But. I cut the back of my head, but joint is unconditional.’
“…It’s the first time for everyone, but so that they can show their efforts. I will finish with the above.”
After the solemn explanation of the festival, the academy students were looking at Cordelia with her eyes of admiration while applauding.
“It is not to be praised, so there is no need to clap. And Allen Mestia follow me.”
“Yes.”
Cordelia called out Allen with her usual expression and tone and left the classroom.
Seeing Cordelia leave, Allen got up from her chair and followed her.
“Yes. Did you call, Ms. Cordelia?”
“…I got some good medicine from an acquaintance. Ruler.”
Cordelia opens the space and takes out something of her.
And then… In a typical tsundere style of giving chocolate to a male protagonist at a Valentine’s Day event, he handed a small bottle of ointment on the palm of his hand.
“Thank you. Although her head still hurts like it would break! If I apply some ointment, the pain will go away, right?”
“Mi, I’m sorry. It’s not like that on purpose…”
“Are you okay. But it’s a joint play. Thank you for listening to me.”
“Thank you… Oh, but are you a little taller? It used to touch my chin.”
“It is a period of growth. You have to grow up.”
“No matter how much you grow up, this is too…”
“No, I do not want?”
Equal eye level.
Allen grinned and was embarrassed, but she soon avoided her face and at the same time she covered her face with the attendance sheet again.
“Sir, it’s not that I don’t like it. However, it’s amazing how fast it grows…!”
“There are so many amazing things to come, but what if you’re just this surprised?”
With a smirk, Allen approached Cordelia, who took a slight step back from her.
Then, suddenly, I wondered if Chloe taught her well.
“Ah, but how was the tutoring for Chloe that I asked for?”
When the name Chloe came out of the boy’s mouth, he put the roll book back in place and glared at Allen.
“…I want to go.”
“Yes? No…?”
Without a chance to catch her, Cordelia tore through the space and disappeared in front of Allen.
“I was going to make fun of him because his reaction was cute, but it must have been a landmine.”
Allen shows a small smile alone as he sees Cordelia who pouts cutely and disappears beyond the space.
‘Is it because I’ve never been popular? It’s so cute how she gets jealous if I mention another woman’s name.’
Forced to calm her incessant laughter, Allen made her way back to her classroom, only to turn her toward her nurse’s office.
“Was Agnes really following my orders?”
****
“What? When did she come back?”
Judging by the way Agnes spoke, it seemed that no one was in the health room.
“You came back yesterday. Whoops!”
Allen took off her shoes and lay down on a bed in an empty health room.
“By the way, how are Miss Christine and Vivian?”
“Mr. Christine was the same as usual… Ah! Strangely, he often touched her palm!”
“I touch my palms a lot… Okay. Next?”
When Agnes said that he often touched her palm, Allen was worried.
‘Are there any remnants of mana left? I’ll have to look into it later.’
“As you know, I can meet Christine in the teacher’s office or privately, but I don’t have any contact with Vivian except for the health room.”
‘But. Since Agnes is the health teacher, she is only in the health room, so there’s no way she knows about Vivian’s whereabouts.’
“Ah, but I could see her anemia, so I gave her some medicine.”
“Okay? A symptom of anemia okay. Lastly, what about Mirai? Has she gotten much better?”
“She likes Mirai a lot, but… She’s not coming out of the dorms. Ms. Cordelia visits the dormitory, and I’m worried about it, so I stop by after work. I guess…”
“Okay. Okay. Then go.”
“Bur, are you leaving already…?”
“Why? Where are you going to touch me?”
“No… Just…”
What did she expect when she came to the health room? She gets up from the bed in the health room and sees Allen trying to leave without doing anything, and Agnes expresses regret.
Arlen stopped her steps at her disappointed voice, closed the door, and strode towards Agnes.
“Why, why are you…?”
“If you want to be cute, come to the secret room. To the point where I wouldn’t stop even if I told him to stop today. Even if I beg you, I won’t stop.”
“Ah yes! I will definitely go! Please!”
Hearing her expected words, Agnes looked at her Allen, her gloomy face instantly brightening her smile.
“However…”
“Why is that?”
“Looks like she has grown taller? Before, I could barely shave my head…”
As Agnes got up from her chair and was about to measure her height, Allen hugged her by the waist.
“Why, why are you like that?”
“Why? Are you disappointed that I’m not the short kid you like?”
“Ah, not bad… Ha, ha ha…”
Goofy laugh. No, in an embarrassing yet embarrassing situation where others would jeer at it if they saw it, Agnes hurriedly adjusted her glasses and a small blush bloomed on her cheeks.
“See you later, Agnes.”
Allen leaves the health room with a greeting to untie his waist and see you later.
And…
“…It’s good. Even the grown-up Allen…”
