Chapter 821 – 821. Magic School Strauss (6)
With a smile, you handed out her envelope.
“Okay, take it. Please do not overspend this time.”
“… Yes.”
The club manager who received the envelope like that left an expression as if he had chewed garbage and left.
And in the 15th lab he left, only Hanelone and I were left.
Hanelone smiled brightly and clapped.
“Budget execution done! Great job!”
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Now I can rest for a while!”
Just because the club’s budget was done, the accounting work wasn’t over.
But it was also true that the biggest thing was over.
If a clerk usually had a steady job, accounting was a position that was busy once a month.
“You won’t be so busy for a while. I’ll probably get busy again when Louis and you are swapped.”
It was about being able to relax for a while.
Hanelone sat at her desk and continued to talk while laughing.
The reason Hanelone’s mouth was shaking now wasn’t just because of her bright personality.
‘Looks like he can’t manage his expression at all at the thought of accepting a bribe.’
Hanelone planned to collect a bribe sooner or later from the club leaders who had handed her budget.
The closing days are this weekend, Saturday and Sunday.
And on the day Hanelone goes out to collect her bribe, Milena and I promise to follow Hanelone together.
‘What kind of face would he make if he was robbed of all the bribes he received and played with by Milena and me?’
I looked forward to it, remembering the despair of Hanello, who had acted impudently until now.
So, after having a decent conversation with her Hanelone, I asked her.
“Senior. Is the last time you said to buy me food still valid?”
“Huh?”
Hanellous tilted her head and opened her mouth, staring at me with her bunny eyes.
“Rice? What rice?”
Haha…”
It looked like it was completely screwed up.
It seemed that her head was so good that she neatly erased what she said to me who was not interested.
‘I didn’t say it because I really wanted to buy it, but it must have been a rough word to make Edgar jealous.’
I didn’t ask the question with the intention of winning it in the first place, so it didn’t matter much.
I laughed bitterly, and Hanelone scratched her cheek and smiled awkwardly.
“Yeah, that’s what I said. Sorry. You’ve been busy lately.”
“I’m sorry for bothering you with my useless words.”
“No, no! But for the time being, I think it will be difficult. I suddenly had an appointment on the weekend. I’ll buy you later!”
Hanelone quickly passed the subject with another promise to forget.
“But you and Luis don’t really get along, do you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you two talk.”
“Yes. I don’t hate it, but Louis doesn’t seem to think so.”
“Why do you hate it so much?”
For what reason? It’s because I ate my childhood friend, older sister, mother, and even the princess who only looked at me.
Of course, she didn’t put such crazy words in her mouth.
I subtly put the reason for feeding Louis into her mouth.
“I think it’s because they didn’t get first place because of me.”
Actually, that statement was not incorrect.
Lewis treated me like a commoner before my grades came out, but after he got a lower rank than me, he treated me like an enemy.
As soon as Hanelone heard me, he immediately nodded his head in understanding.
“Ah… But… That’s a bit distasteful.”
Currently, the top students in the second year were Hanelone and Milena.
The two of them, like Lewis and I, were fighting fiercely for the first place as soon as they entered the school.
The score so far is 2:1.
By the way, the one ahead was Milena.
Perhaps one of the reasons why Hanelone stole Edgar from Milena was the ranking.
‘If I’m broken hearted, my grades will inevitably drop.’
If Hanelone took Edgar’s heart out of consideration, she should admit it.
That she’s smart beyond her smarts…
Hanelone listened to my guess…
“Whoa, Louis is having a hard time because of that… ?”
Far from worrying about Louis, she smiled and started giggling.
Perhaps she thought she had found a way to penetrate Louis’s heart.
Hanelone thought about it for a while, then she calmly opened her mouth.
“Your junior. Can I ask you one favor?”
“Yes. What is your request?”
Hearing my answer, Hanelone grinned and smiled bewitchingly.
“Can I change what I’m doing with Louis and you?”
“Yes? Are you saying that I should go under Milena-senpai?”
“Huh!”
At Hanelone’s lively words, I stuck my tongue out inwardly.
‘It’s starting to get triggered soon.’
I was dumbfounded on the inside, but thought it was good.
It happened that he had made an appointment to follow Hanelone with Milena on the weekend.
It wasn’t bad to build consensus in advance.
No, it was a situation I wished for.
But this was something I couldn’t handle on my own.
“It doesn’t matter to me, but it’s something I can’t change at will…”
“Ah, don’t worry about that. I’ll fix everything! Now, let’s go back to the student council room!”
Hanelone made such a boast and led me to the student council room.
And she told Ariel right away, and she got the job done.
“Senior Ariel. The juniors who came this time… Can I change it soon?”
At Hanelone’s words, Ariel tilted her head and asked again.
“Suddenly? It’s only been two weeks.”
“Ah, there’s nothing good about sticking to one task for too long. Our juniors also agreed.”
Hanelone began persuading Ariel in the quietest possible way.
Ariel opened her mouth, not doubting Hanelone’s intentions.
“Your words have a point. Still, I should ask Milena and Louise first.”
“Grunt… If I just said the president, they would listen to it on their own.”
“No matter how much I am the representative of this place, I cannot arbitrarily decide on such a thing.”
Ariel left behind her grumbling Hanelone and began quietly asking Milena and Luis for her opinion.
And surprisingly, the two people’s opinions were the same as Hanelone’s.
“They both agreed. Let’s decide to replace it.”
“Fuhuhu, then shall we change from today?”
“The parties seem to want it, so let’s do it.”
Due to Ariel’s decision, I was transferred to Milena’s sub-shooter, and Louis to Hanelone’s sub-shooter.
After that change, Kang Han-na’s questionable voice leaked through the communication.
[Are you okay? That Hanelone woman… It seems that they are competing hard to catch Louis at this opportunity.]
As Kang Han-na said, Hanelone will try to become close to Luis this time.
And in the process, it was highly likely that he would develop into her real lover and, furthermore, have a physical relationship with her.
Strong I was worried about falling for her Louise before I coveted Hanelone.
But I laughed inwardly and answered.
‘It will take quite a while for that to happen.’
[Why are you so sure?]
‘Look.’
I smiled and looked at Hanelone and Louis.
Now, between Hanelone and Louis…
“Hello. Please talk to me for a second.”
Edgar, an obstructionist, was already standing in the way.
Hanelone slightly frowned at Edgar’s appearance, but she quickly managed her expression and smiled.
“Yes, senior~”
That’s how Hanelone started following Edgar.
Thanks to this, only Lewis was left alone at the accounting desk.
Just like that, I met eyes with the remaining Louis.
“Tsk…”
Louis clicked his tongue and threw his head back.
Far from being angry at Louis’ appearance, I was rather grateful.
‘Ed, take care of me. In the meantime, I’ll have fun with Hanelone.’
I smiled and looked at Milena.
Milena greeted me before I could even say hello.
“Ruler… Please take good care of me.”
Milena had seen my overbearing attitude before, so she couldn’t treat me as her underling like Louis did.
I looked down at Milena, who was trembling, and smiled.
“Please take good care of me. Senior.”
..
..
That’s how I got to be Milena’s assistant shooter in earnest.
Actually, the work itself was not difficult.
All Milena and I were doing was processing her papers and then taking notes on her forms.
It was true that once the work itself became comfortable.
But there was something much more comfortable than that.
“Where are you two going? After the budget is over, you won’t have to go outside for a while.”
It was the fact that Edgar didn’t bother me after Lewis became Hanelone’s side-shooter.
In addition, Ariel, the student council president, was busy outside, so she often emptied the student council room.
As a result, Edgar became the one who could speak loudest here.
When Hanelone tried to go somewhere with Luis, Edgar kept blocking her.
Seeing Edgar like that, Hanelone couldn’t control her expression and opened her mouth.
“I want to have a little talk with you. Conversation is also important to keep hands and feet aligned.”
“Conversation? Then you can do it here You don’t have to talk secretly, just the two of you.”
“Ha…”
Hanelone didn’t even expect this situation.
No, you might have expected it.
‘I didn’t know they would cling to me so tenaciously.’
He seemed to think that he would pay attention in moderation, just like when he kept me in check.
However, at the point when the opponent changed from me to Louise, Edgar’s heart disappeared in moderation.
Louis was an aristocrat from a famous family in Stra.
In contrast, I was ostensibly from a commoner.
The vigilance itself that comes from the heart will not be the same.
“Okay, stop it.”
“…”
Hanelone eventually gave up talking to Louis alone, raising a white flag at Edgar’s words.
And it wasn’t just Hanelone who regretted the situation.
“…”
Louis was secretly glaring at Edgar with a slightly annoyed expression.
‘Looks like Hanelone has a heart.’
Judging by Louise’s attitude lately, she seemed to have a crush on Hanelone.
With her self-esteem constantly hitting rock bottom, her constant compliments seemed to appeal to her.
However, Edgar’s attraction to Hanelone was constantly interrupted by Edgar.
It’s sad that she was beaten by me, but thinking that she might be beaten by a keut like that would make her head bleed.
‘Yes, the two of you should fight well.’
Once Louis and Edgar kept each other in check, Hanelone didn’t seem to have much to worry about.
After such an infinite time of containment, the sun began to set.
As the red light poured into the student council room, Edgar struck first.
“Because work is over. Let’s go to school together.”
“… Yeah~.”
Hanelone seemed to have decided to match Edgar’s mood.
‘But… No matter how keuty he is, the vice-president is the vice-president.’
Even though Edgar was clinging to women, he was a top-ranked student in the third year.
Among the current 3rd year students, the most influential person to become a professor was Ariel, the student council president.
A genius among geniuses who never missed first place every year.
If Ariel gets a passable grade on her final graduation exam, even if she doesn’t rank first, she’ll be a professor.
But in the world, you never know what will happen until the end.
If Ariel makes a big mistake on her final graduation exam, her professorship opportunity will be given to Edgar.
‘I’m sure he knows that if he brushes it off now and Edgar becomes a full-time professor, he’ll be fucked.’
Hanelone must be weighing Louis and Edgar by calculating that future.
Just like that, in the student council room where Hanelone and Edgar left, Milena, Luis, and I were the three of us left.
Louis looked at the seat of Hanelone who had left and made an expression of regret.
But he soon came to his senses and came to us… She spoke to Milena.
He didn’t even look at me, as if I was treated as someone who didn’t exist.
“Senior, if there is anything I can do to help, I will help.”
Louise’s voice contained excessive kindness, as she did to the other women in her life.
But at that kind voice, Milena…
“No. It’s okay.”
He refused briefly and coldly.
Louise twitched her eyebrows as she blushed slightly at Milena’s refusal.
“Mah, if you ever need help, let me know. I have a lot of time, so I stayed in the student council room…”
Milena noticed me despite Louis’s raspy voice.
She didn’t look at me because she liked me.
Milena was basically a person who noticed those who were superior to her.
Milena instinctively noticed me not politely behaving politely, but rudely insulting me.
I brushed her hand away from Louise’s gaze.
Milena, recognizing my gesture, immediately opened her mouth.
“No. You go back too.”
“… Yes?”
“I don’t have anything to do, so what am I going to do by staying in the student council room? Go back.”
“Ah… All right.”
Louise, her face hot like a brazier, bit her lip and left the student council room.
Perhaps it was his pride that was hurt.
After Louis left the student council room, he was left with Milena and me.
Milena didn’t have Luis, so she looked at me even worse.
I sat down at Milena’s desk again and smiled.
“I secretly overheard Hanelone-senpai’s words, but it looks like he’s taking bribes outside this weekend. So we also make plans.”
“Come on, plan? What plan… ?”
Milena looked up at me.
I looked down at Milena and smiled.
“It’s a plan for revenge, of course.”
