101. I’m going on a date with you!
the last day of the festival.
Classes were held regardless of the festival.
Outside, the festival was in full swing. There was no way I could see the class. It was boring and uninteresting.
As soon as the lecture was over, Sepia stood in the hallway.
Soon, she looked out the window and sighed lightly.
‘I want to go on a date. I want to walk around the campus with Ethan arm in arm and eat ice cream.’
But how do you go about asking for a date?
When I asked Vivian yesterday, a simple answer came back.
‘Just ask them to meet and enjoy the festival.’
‘… … ? No, call me to meet alone?’
‘Then, why not call a friend?’
friend? I didn’t even have a friend. Tia, Tesha, Anya, and Arthur were all there was.
‘I’m with a friend, ask her to have lunch with me.’
If it was easy, I wouldn’t worry so much. It would be nice if we could meet by chance.
‘that is… , so I want to meet the two of us… .’
For the past few days, no matter how much I walked around the campus, Ethan was nowhere to be seen.
‘Vivian, how about this method? I’m going to play using Hessia as an excuse. I’m going to visit with a gift from Hesia.’
It was a good way to earn points for Hesia.
Even if the two of us couldn’t meet, it was okay if it was Hessia. Because Sepia liked children. When I confessed my worries, Vivian smiled.
‘I obtained Edan’s timetable.’
‘uh… ?’
‘Look at the timetable, wait near the lecture room, and use the ‘accidentally tactic’ when you meet.’
tactic by chance.
It was to accompany them under the pretext of a chance meeting. Pretending to meet by chance, ‘I’m going to have lunch right now, would you like to have lunch with me?’ That was what I was asking.
Hearing that, Sepia hit her knee ‘thump’.
‘thank you! Vivian. I will not forget this favor.’
And now, Sepia was waiting for Ethan at the entrance of the classroom. I came early and waited for an hour in case the class would end early.
When I wondered what I was doing, the class was over. There was a booming sound across the classroom.
Soon, Ethan walked out with the crowd. It was with Arthur.
‘ah… . Why didn’t I think Arthur was there?’
It was something you could understand if you thought about it a little deeper. Fortunately, however, Arthur had a girlfriend.
“Arthur, let’s go to lunch… .”
“uh? Arthur and Ethan. It’s a coincidence.”
Sepia patted Edan’s shoulder and greeted him.
“uh? sepia.”
“I just wanted to see a familiar figure on the road. hahahaha!”
It wasn’t as skillful as Vivian’s acting skills, but Sepia did her best in her own way.
“okay?”
Fortunately, neither Ethan nor Arthur had any doubts.
“I haven’t had lunch yet. Would you like to eat with me?”
“Oh, I have an appointment… .”
Arthur answered, leaving the humming crystal ball behind. Just looking at it, it seemed like a call came from a girlfriend.
“okay? When my girlfriend calls, I have to go quickly!”
Seeing that this was an opportunity, Sepia quickly said, Arthur nodded eagerly.
“Is that right? Too bad. I thought we could have a meal together after a long time… .”
Leaving those words behind, Arthur left Ethan and Sepia behind. Only Ethan and Sepia were left in the hallway.
Everything went according to plan.
“Ethan, shall we go to lunch? Like eating alone.”
“okay? Then what.”
Sepia called out for joy inwardly. Soon the two crossed the campus and headed to the restaurant.
“Come on, today is the last day! The last day of the festival!”
At that voice, Sepia stood still. No wonder, there were countless dolls on the shelves.
When it came to dolls, Sepia was an inexhaustible favorite. Especially, I liked the teddy bear the most.
“What are you looking at? ah… .”
Ethan moved his gaze along Sepia. There, a game was going on in which the dolls in the display case were matched with pebbles to win.
‘Sepia likes teddy bears, though.’
Ethan thought for a moment. Perhaps Sepia’s favorite doll was the teddy bear in the middle.
‘I also give magic tutoring every weekend, so I’ll just take one.’
Even after the second semester, Sepia had been tutoring magic without pay. So I thought it would be okay to present a doll as a thank you.
“Oh, nothing. Let’s go get some lunch.”
“Shall I pick one up?”
“uh?”
Sepia asked in surprise. Of course, the use of magic was forbidden in games like that.
It was also an unwritten rule to infuse mana into the eyes.
Even if I wanted it, it was difficult to knock down a doll without magic by throwing pebbles. Because there were a lot of things that didn’t go over even if they were hit.
“The teddy bear in the middle?”
“uh? ugh… .”
The uncle did not miss the conversation between the two. As a merchant, his instincts were activated.
“Come on, today is the last day of the festival. Try it once and go.”
“I’ll play.”
Sepia didn’t expect much. It seemed that if I had hoped for nothing, I would only be disappointed.
Ethan didn’t seem to be able to win the doll by throwing a pebble from 15 meters away without magic.
“Come on, please wear a mana meter.”
Ethan wore a red mana meter around his wrist. It was a magic tool that displayed the level of magic power with a beep sound when magic power reacted.
It was the same shape as the magic meter I had seen at the magic tool shop while walking in Sepia and Istvan.
“There are three chances. Of course, you can’t use magic.”
Ethan’s hand held a pebble the size of a go stone. It was just the right size and weight.
“Mister, what is the most expensive thing here?”
“Hey, you want to win the most expensive one? That teddy bear over there in the middle is the most expensive. It was handcrafted by a teddy bear artisan.”
Ethan felt that it was all right.
If it’s a daughter, it would be better to pick up an expensive one.
“The second most expensive one?”
“Hehe, that dragon-shaped doll over there is the second most expensive one.”
Ethan wasn’t the only one who asked this question. Because everyone wanted to pick something expensive.
‘I’ll pick two and give one sepia and one hessia.’
Ethan made up his mind and threw a pebble. At the same time, the super-combat intuition was activated.
The first stone brushed between dolls and dolls. It was a narrow failure.
“Come on, you have two chances! You have two chances left.”
The uncle chattered as if he were a wind catcher. Suddenly, people stopped walking and watched Ethan.
Sepia looked at Ethan and the doll with a nervous feeling.
‘Okay, I got it.’
Ethan threw the stone again. The stone that flew like a fastball hit the teddy bear.
The teddy bear fell to the floor.
“Now, wait a minute. Magical power must not be used.”
The old man checked the mana meter. The number displayed on the meter was 0. It meant that no mana was used at all.
“Is there still one left?”
“iced coffee… . yes.”
Edan aimed at the blue dragon doll this time. The flying stone hit the blue dragon doll this time.
The doll, which had been tilted, fell to the floor.
‘Are you going to give me two, two?’
Sepia was moved and at a loss for words. On the other hand, the uncle was sick to his stomach. I wondered if a doll maker would come and rob it.
Still, a promise is a promise.
The uncle handed over two dolls with a feeling of swallowing tears. Ethan took the doll and put the teddy bear into Sepia’s arms.
“Now, since I got tutoring, it’s a gift.”
“uh? uh… . Go, thank you!”
Sepia hugged the doll and answered. Even if I gave it just one, I felt good about it.
“But who are you going to give the doll to?”
“This is Hessia.”
If that was the case, even Sepia acknowledged it. Because it was better than giving it to Tiana Tesha.

The next day, the club room.
“hehehehe, hehehehe.”
A smile formed on Sepia’s lips. At the same time, he let out an idiotic laugh.
Yesterday too, it was Sepia, who had been smiling with two teddy bears side by side on the bed.
‘I should brag about it to Tia and Tesha.’

Just in time, Tesha and Tia came to the club room. Tesha tilted her head while looking at Sepia, who smiled with a smile.
“Sephia, is something good going on?”
How long have I been waiting for you to ask me that? Sepia took out a teddy bear from the subspace and showed it.
“Ahem! Look at this. Ethan gave it to me as a gift!”
“Wow, pretty. This is what I wanted too! It’s a prize among those doll matching, right?”
Tesha also wanted a doll, so she tried it out as a test. The result was, of course, a catastrophic failure.
“That’s right—! It’s handmade by artisans! ”
Yesterday, Sepia looked for it, and it was a special limited edition, so it was hard to find even with money.
Tesha’s reaction made Sepia more elated. Then he looked at Tia’s reaction.
In the alliance, they promised each other no secrets.
So it was okay to brag naturally.
“It would be nice. I envy you. sepia.”
“You haven’t been with Ethan lately?”
“Me? I recently met him, Ethan… , slept.”
“What?”
As if she had been hit in the head, Sepia was speechless. Of course, he had asked first, but he had no idea that such an answer would come.
“no! You decided not to confess!”
“I didn’t confess. Just be cool with each other… .”
Everyone was shocked by Tia’s shocking confession.
‘No, what kind of bitches are there?’
Sepia hadn’t slept properly with Ethan yet. Because the summer days just ended up happening.
“Hey! How is that different from a confession!”
“Everything is different. I was going to keep it a secret, but we decided there would be no secrets between us… , I was talking!”
Yes, but what should I say? No, more than anything else, it was a shocking remark.
“Crab, besides, Sepia also slept with Ethan… . Honestly, isn’t Sepia the most advanced among us?”
It gave off that nuance. However, it was obvious that Tia would laugh at the truth.
In the end, Sepia had no choice but to remain silent.
‘Everyone, no, even talking about sleeping with that Ethan?’
Tesha’s pupils trembled. It was Tesya who grew up quietly in the imperial palace.
‘This is true love outside the imperial palace… ?’
In addition to that question, Tesha felt somewhat pouty. Didn’t Ethan like him?
For some reason, it seemed that he kept turning his back and turning his eyes the other way. Was there anyone else who made you feel that way as much as Ethan?
In short, there was none.
‘Now that it’s like this, I’m going to be active too.’
Tesha clenched her fists and made a promise to herself.

Weekend, Central class socialite.
Tia sat quietly in a corner of the social circle. I had no choice but to participate in this social event to manage personal connections.
It had already been half a year since I last went to a social scene.
‘At that time, I was drunk and looked like I couldn’t see it… .’
When I think of that time, I still want to kick the futon while sleeping. Still, it was impossible not to attend a socialite party.
‘Once I came… .’
I saw a few familiar faces, but hardly anyone from the academy. There was no Ethan, Sepia, Tesha, or Sylvia.
‘If only I knew this would happen… . I should have asked Anya if she would like to go to the social circle.’
In the end, Tia was alone at a table in the corner of a socialite, resting her chin on her chin.
Nea’s second year student, Kanion Amos, found Tia like that and grinned. Since he was alone, it was good to approach him and talk to him.
‘Since it’s smooth, I’m sure it’ll be fine with Secpa No. 8.’
A canon that inherits the lineage of the hero Luke Amos. Because of his popularity in the social world, women were seduced.
In addition, Kanion’s class was Elementalist.
He had a talent for two types of spirits and swords. So, I was thinking of starting a conversation with Tiawa through the spirits.
“hello. This is Tia Herze, right?”
Blue eyes slowly looked up at Kanion.
