Chapter 2054 – 2054. Savior of the Academy
While Eugene Seong was doing personal things, Yuria and Elena changed into Arashi Academy’s school uniforms. It was the result of Seong Yu-jin’s desire to play in school uniform.
“I really feel like a student wearing this outfit. A little uncomfortable, but not bad.”
Said Elena, looking in her mirror. She is a beauty, and her school uniform suits her well.
Yuria next to her tidied up her hair and clothes. YuRia’s hand didn’t allow a single crease in her school uniform.
“Has Elena ever been to the academy? Elena’s empire must have developed considerably, so there must be educational institutions.”
“Of course, the academy exists. The talented among the commoners enter with the patronage of the nobility. I also actively support the academy and new students. It’s an opportunity to bring in talent.”
“Looks like nobles don’t go to the academy.”
“The children of lower nobles, below the viscount, enter the academy. It’s also really helpful for building relationships.”
“It must not be Elena.”
“There is no reason to enter the academy when all you have to do is invite a famous scholar to your family. When you throw a party, nobles flock like clouds. If you use business as an excuse to coax, you can use it moderately. How are you? Have you been to the academy?”
“I am attending an academy. It’s a story from another world.”
“Hoo. Is it similar to this academy?”
“It is completely different. There are many more things to keep and learn.”
“Are you enjoying the academy?”
YuRia hesitated. She remembered the maid academy. After thinking for quite some time, she nodded her head.
“It was quite enjoyable.”
“What a surprising answer.”
“Of course, serving the master is more enjoyable.”
“That’s the answer I expected.”
After checking their clothes for the last time, they left the room. Originally, I was going to wait in the room until Seong Yu-jin returned, but at Elena’s request, I decided to watch the cultural festival.
For Elena, it was no different than a vacation. She wanted to put everything down and enjoy the culture or food of another world. Since the Baldert family, who always weighed on her shoulders, did not exist in this world, she was able to act lightly.
“Where are you going?”
Seongha-ri, who was leaning her back against the wall in the hallway, asked.
Elena looked at her and smiled at her.
“Were you spying on us?”
“No matter how you look at it, you guys are suspicious, so I investigated separately. Do you know how the results turned out? There was nothing. As if they are not of this world. So I’m monitoring myself. Lest you do anything strange. So that if he does something strange, he can subdue it right away.”
“You buy a tiring job and do it. Haven’t you seen our relationship with Eugene?”
“Ugh.”
Seongha-ri’s cheeks turned red. The sight of the two women in front of her eyes and Seong Yu-jin naked and mixed up came to mind. It was a sight that was truly lewd. A more embarrassing sight to behold.
“That is that and this is this. I never accepted you as my daughter-in-law.”
“Are you still thinking of playing Eugene and her mother? You put the blood on her face.”
“… Mother play? Yes, you. Have you been talking like that since yesterday? There is a limit to what you can tolerate.”
“Thank you, Eugene. If it wasn’t for Eugene, you would have been sitting on the floor and weeping.”
A ferocious smile was drawn on Seongha-ri’s lips. At the same time, her momentum rises. Elena was not at all embarrassed. When I crossed her arms, she raised her chin as if to try.
Yuria intervened between them.
“Both of you, stop. If you run amok here, you will be a nuisance to the owner. Elena, we are strangers. Mother, we do not want to disappoint you by making a fuss. I won’t even try to reconcile with each other. Please bear with me, at least for now. We don’t care if Mother watches over us.”
Seong Ha-ri let out a sigh and lost her momentum. Elena shook her head in disinterest.
“Excuse me. Did you say YuRia? That mother’s title is a bit like that.”
“This is a sign of respect.”
“I know. I know… No matter what, it’s a bit like being called mother. It’s awkward and I look too old.”
“You are misunderstanding something. This title is not respect towards you. It is respect for the master.”
“… What?”
“Poop.”
It was Elena who burst into laughter. She was able to infer Yuria’s way of thinking to some extent. The center of her YuRia is Sung Eugene. Even though she calls Seong Ha-ri her mother, she does not truly consider her mother-in-law because her Seong Yu-jin does not really consider her Seong Ha-ri as her own mother.
Seong Yu-jin’s mother’s play. YuRia was properly adjusting to that.
‘Perhaps if she meets Seong Yu-jin’s real mother, she will fawn with all her might. … Hmm. There is no information about this. Seong Yu-jin’s mother is also my mother-in-law, so I have to make her an ally. Illusion is the worst… Is a gift offensive the answer?’
Elena and Yuria came out of the dormitory under Seong Ha-ri’s watchful eyes.
As soon as I left, the men were annoying. Their looks were too eye-catching. From the blatant question if she has a boyfriend to the request to take a picture with her, there was nothing that was not annoying.
Offended, Elena used her magic to drive the men away. She said that men would have traumas they didn’t know about, but she wasn’t something Elena would consider.
“It’s annoying like this. I’m going to use magic. Doesn’t it matter?”
“Please.”
Elena’s gaze turned to Seongha-ri.
“Uh, me too?”
“Think about your appearance. Aren’t men just talking to us?”
“… I’ll beg you too Aren’t you doing something weird?”
Elena waved her hand as if she wasn’t even worthy of an answer. The phantom magic was activated and the gazes that had been paying attention disappeared. Now other people will see them as normal women.
Elena grabbed Yuria’s arm and walked away briskly. The festive atmosphere of her cultural festival excited her. Seong Ha-ri followed them.
The footsteps stopped in front of a street stall.
“What is this?”
“It’s cotton candy. Are you seeing it for the first time?”
“You don’t know cotton candy?”
Yuria and Seongha-ri were surprised in different ways.
“Cotton candy? It looked like cotton. I want to try it.”
“… Why are you looking at me?”
“Because I have no money in this world. I would like to borrow it.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have yen either.”
Elena’s gaze turned to Seongha-ri.
“Borrow it.”
“Without bottom and bottom?!”
“Isn’t that a small amount? Don’t be petty.”
“You’re too confident about the subject of borrowing’s position. … I’m borrowing it because you’re pitiful. I bet you’ve never eaten cotton candy before.”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you sympathize with me… It hurts my pride, but I’ll forgive you for lending me money.”
Elena bought three of her cotton candy and gave them to Yuria and Seongha-ri.
“I am fine.”
“You already bought it. He said he was an aristocrat, so how selfish are you?”
“Isn’t it a festival? Eat you too.”
“You must be ashamed to eat alone.”
“… Cotton candy has been around for a long time.”
They opened their mouths wide and ate cotton candy. Elena made a subtle expression.
“Moon. I like how it melts as soon as you put it in your mouth… Too sweet.”
“It sounds like you are using cheap sugar. If it were me, I would make cotton candy in a slightly different way…”
“I think I liked you a lot back in the day… Have my tastes changed?”
The impressions that each of them gave out were only harsh criticism. Elena threw her cotton candy in her trash can, and Yuria melted her cotton candy with her magic and disposed of it. Only Seong Hari ate cotton candy.
“By the way, Elena. How are you planning to pay the money back? Wouldn’t that be a crime?”
“What do you see me as? All plans were made. First of all, I will make seed money with my gold coins and invest it in stocks.”
“Even if I only sold gold coins, I would have enough money.”
“I want to try stocks. There are no stocks in my world.”
Seongha-ri, who had been listening to the conversation, intervened, frowning at her.
“Stock? Don’t do it.”
“Why?”
“If you don’t want to, don’t. Half of all your wealth could be lost. I heard there’s a basement under the floor… No, I really thought it was the bottom…”
“…”
The next place they headed was the art gallery.
A place where the works of Arashi Academy students are exhibited. Elena took a look around her at the entrance of the art gallery and smiled.
“The trash that you don’t take even if you give it is on display. Contemporary art? The level of civilization has increased, but the art seems to have degenerated. Yuria. What do you think?”
“I think everyone has their own standards. Being here must be art to someone.”
“So in your eyes, what you see here is art?”
“No. They are trash.”
Seongha-ri looked at the two of them.
‘Honestly, aren’t these works good enough?’
In her eyes, it looked like a pretty good piece of work. I think it would be okay to buy a few and decorate my house.
The next place I visited after the gallery was the haunted house. Far from being surprised by the ghost, all three felt bored. I could feel all the signs of the people hiding, and the ghost makeup felt somewhat clumsy.
“Why don’t you go see the Monster Circus? Arashi Academy is famous for taming monsters and doing circuses.”
Seongha-ri rarely gave an opinion. She roamed here and there, making friends with the surveillance targets.
“Monster Circus? You are doing something interesting.”
“I am sure you are interested.”
The Monster Circus was enough to surprise them. Tame and train monsters. It’s easy to say, but in practice it’s never easy.
After watching the monster circus for about an hour, they were satisfied. Afterwards, we had dinner at the restaurant of the Culinary Research Department, which was famous for its deliciousness.
“The omurice isn’t bad.”
“What? This is a very tasty level. Omurice in the Culinary Research Department is especially famous?”
“Seong Ha-ri is right. I have no choice but to admit this dish called omurice.”
“… If you are, then you are.”
Even after that, after wandering around, they enjoyed the magic fireworks and went back to the dormitory.
