Chapter 401 – Chapter 401 Magic School Shutra (3-12)
“Is it because of the merchant we met earlier?”
“Yes?”
I woke up and turned my head towards the place where the voice came from.
Luna’s delicate face, reflected in the moonlight shining through the window, greeted me.
Like yesterday, after learning her manners from her Luna, I shared her love while calmly mingling with her on her bed.
Normally, I would have taken Luna’s mind off while having sex intensely, but I couldn’t do that today.
There must be days like this, but my inability to concentrate also played a role.
I said as I hugged Luna a little more in my arms under the blanket.
“Well… I have some thoughts….”
In fact, I had completely forgotten about the Sangsanju I had met earlier.
What I was really thinking about was Carl’s request.
(I was going to give it to you a long time ago, but it was too revealing, so I’m giving it now.)
(Carl, you don’t have to give me this…)
(Please accept it. And… Please.)
(….)
I already know what Carl’s request is.
In fact, all relationships were sorted out.
Carl was the one who led the situation beyond what he knew, and Luna also declared that she would understand me after hearing the truth from Carl.
Rather, only Sonya, who is in charge of the most important part, does not know the truth….
‘However….’
Unknowingly, I thought of Sonya and hugged Luna tightly.
Luna looked at me with her puzzled eyes for a moment, then she quickly relaxed and buried her face in my chest as she opened her mouth.
“Don’t overcomplicate things.”
“Yes?”
When I questioned Luna, she quietly whispered with her eyes closed.
“It’s a man’s charm to push ahead once he’s already made a decision.”
“Decision… ? That is….”
I wondered if Luna was talking about her top state, so I was about to clarify.
“I already told you. Me too… It’s a difficult word, so it’s hard for me as a woman to say it again.”
“Ah… Sorry.”
Luna was already able to see through and talk about what I was worried about.
She had previously declared that she would allow me to have relations with other women.
That doesn’t mean she should be a prostitute, but she did, implicitly, gave her permission for her relationship with Sonya.
But the timing was also the same, and my actions that I said I was considerate of Luna had become an action that made her feel uncomfortable.
I hugged Luna tightly and buried her face in her silver hair and whispered.
“I love you.”
“Whoops… That’s enough.”
So me and Luna hugged each other tightly and started to fall asleep without saying anything.
..
..
As soon as the sun rose and morning came, I had to listen to the nagging.
“Hey, where the hell do you hang out every night?”
“….”
The annoying guy suddenly came up to me and started nagging me.
It’s not Luna or Sonya, but why did I have to listen to this guy’s nagging?
“Are you ignoring me? Where are you wandering around like that!”
“Ah… Just going to watch Shall I report all of that?”
“Huh….”
Lewis snorted at her, glared at me, and muttered:
“I said Be careful of your conduct.”
“What does walking around at night have to do with conduct?”
Traveling was my biggest purpose in the first place.
Therefore, there was no reason to be scolded for your conduct for wandering around during the night.
But I already knew what the gnome was thinking.
“I don’t know about anything else, but don’t get caught doing weird things when you get to Levin.”
“Anything strange?”
When I pretended not to know, Louis muttered while looking at me indifferently.
“Pretending not to know….”
“No, what are you talking about….”
“Anyway!”
After a brief pause, Lewis began to speak his own words.
“I don’t know about anything else, but please be careful after encountering the delegation. Because your behavior could adversely affect not only my face, but also Luna’s face.”
After talking to himself like that, Louis turned around and started to leave.
I thought while watching the back of Louis’ head as he left.
‘Isn’t this a stalker? That bastard grabbed my sleeve before, and if you get to know him, isn’t he gay?’
[That might make the mission much easier….]
‘Ah, can’t you even joke?’
Just imagining it is terrifying, so don’t say it with all your heart….
I headed to the restaurant while shaking off the chicken meat that had risen on my forearm.
At the restaurant, Sonya was asking her staff for a favor.
“Breakfast is just bread, soup and milk. And the quantity is enough for 0.5 servings, and like yesterday, I will check it here and take it myself.”
“Customer, we directly….”
“No. I’ll take care of everything. Please give me food.”
Sonya had been on her own since the first day, and she had taken on the role of secretary and aide to the dean.
The dean hasn’t eaten at the cafeteria since the first day.
She only ate food when Sonya brought it to her room.
Even Sonya didn’t take her food and bring it to the dean right away.
I began to taste the food from the restaurant by putting it in my mouth little by little.
“Like. Thank you.”
What Sonya was doing wasn’t just that she tasted her food before bringing it to the dean.
It was to check whether there were any impure beings in the food.
‘Wouldn’t the dean die from poison?’
[Poisoning is probably impossible.]
If he had been poisoned in the first place, it would have been fine if he had just eaten the poison and died….
Sonya smiled softly as she met her eyes as she carried the food, and she quietly made her way to the dean’s quarters.
I’m worried.
‘… Right now, there’s nothing I can do. Let’s talk at least when we can afford it.’
Sonya said she was busy with the dean’s arms and legs.
If I err on the side of her dean after giving her attention, I will lose face.
Looking at his current routine, the only time he could talk to Sonya was during meals together and in the evening after work.
And mealtime wasn’t really the time to talk openly with each other.
In other words….
‘When I get to the next town and I can afford it, I’ll have a walk.’
It’s fun to have a simple conversation over a meal, but it’s best when you’re alone with a woman.
..
..
It was definitely different.
‘The farther away from Shutra the worse the village is.’
It was the impression I felt right after arriving at the fourth village.
I already knew from the coachman’s explanation that the farther away from Stra, the worse it would be.
However, even though I read it in advance and prepared my mind, the condition was not so good that I was disappointed.
As soon as the wagon entered the village, the villagers around us started whispering to us.
(Oh my… Aristocrats?)
(That’s it at this time. It’s the time when Stra students go home.)
(Looking at the carriage… I guess he’s not just an ordinary student.)
(Oh my, should we talk?)
Fortunately, even though the security was not good, they did not show an impure attitude, only looking at the idol at us.
As I rode the carriage and looked around the village while listening to the whispers of the residents, the carriage stopped before I knew it, and I was able to arrive at an inn inside the village.
To be honest, I didn’t expect an inn either.
It seemed that an inn in a town like this would be in poor condition, even if it was a high-class accommodation.
But I was surprised to see the condition of the inn.
‘The town is in bad shape, but the inn is nice?’
It was smaller in scale than the inns he had visited so far, but the appearance was not inferior to that of a high-end inn.
The driver got off and explained to us.
“This is an inn made by the company for customers using our long-distance wagons.”
Customers who use long-distance wagons inevitably belong to the affluent class.
Properly managing the sleeping places of such wealthy customers was also the reason why companies operating long-distance wagons were successful.
Basically, it would be difficult to expect high-end lodging in a village like this. However, nobles could not sleep in a shabby inn or stay homeless.
In other words, the reason why long-distance wagons went well despite the high price was because this meticulousness was hidden.
You can’t expect a good inn in a town like this, so a long-distance wagon maker made a high-end inn.
‘What… Are these costs included? Louis… That’s a lot of money.’
We were guided by the coachman, entered the inn, and listened to another explanation.
“This town… Compared to the villages I visited before, the condition is not good. If you have anything to do outside, please let us know.”
It is unlikely that Stra’s students will ever suffer any unfavorable incidents, but since the coachman’s main job was to take care of the safety of customers, he had been asking for trust.
Although the atmosphere of the town has changed, our methods have not changed.
As before, the dean closed his mouth to dismantle my magic circle and headed to the room, and Luna, Carl, and Louis sat down in the dining room and started eating.
And Sonya….
“I will eat separately later. Eat first.”
I started to move busily to prepare the dean’s meal.
In fact, at first, everyone noticed Sonya’s behavior, but now everyone understands her situation and enjoys a leisurely meal.
After her meal, Louis glanced at her for a moment, then snorted at her and started heading towards her room.
‘Do you really think I’m going out again?’
Louis already seemed to think I was doing something out there.
The thought that I would meet a woman even in a rural area like this….
‘What expression would she make if she knew that the woman was Luna?’
I smiled involuntarily, and started slowly heading towards my room.
There was one concern all the way to the room.
‘How do I get lucky?’
Sonya would respond well if I spoke to her right now.
But right now, Sonya is busy, and after learning about my relationship with Luna, I felt very cautious about how she treated me.
I want to do it with Sonya.
Before I had a relationship with Luna, Sonya would have treated me like her child and she would have accepted me innocently.
But now it’s different.
If you approached it playfully for no reason, after being scolded, you might raise your hands again and stand up for punishment.
‘I’ll have to rest in my room and time the timing to talk.’
Sonya was busy assisting the dean, so there was a good chance she would eat late.
Deciding that she should aim for that time, she decided to go to my dorm and rest.
..
..
The sun had just set, and the traces of her had disappeared, and darkness had begun to descend.
I stared at the chandelier for a while, then jumped out of bed and put on my cloak.
“It must be time to eat soon. Let’s go….”
It was the moment I was about to go outside to meet Sonya.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
Unexpectedly, I lowered my voice, alerted to the unexpected visit of someone.
“Who are you?”
And the other person who heard my alert voice began to reveal his identity with a barely audible voice.
The voice that came crawling under the door barely reached my ears.
(This is me. Suho student.)
It was Sonya.
