Chapter 43 – Elena

“Ha… “

I sighed and looked at Elena lying next to her.

After that, exhausted and lying next to me, Elena fell asleep.

And it was morning.

Well, since there is a magic tool, no one knows what happened inside, but I can’t help but feel anxious that someone might have found out because I stayed up all night.

It seems that the magic tool has already gone out because his remaining magic power has disappeared…

“I need to put on some clothes… “

Even if I couldn’t hear Elena and I mingling, if we were both naked in the same bed, we would be suspicious.

I’d better get up quickly, get dressed, and wait for Lydia to come.

If you ask me why I’m not wearing anything, I’ll just say that I think it’s Elena’s habit.

After putting on all the clothes, I put the magic tools away and sat down.

As you sit in the chair like this, Lydia will come into her room with her breakfast.

Sure enough, as I was sitting in my chair and checking my work, I opened the door and Lydia came inside.

“Yes, saintess? Are you awake?”

“Ah… Yes. Because of Elena.”

I said that and pointed at Elena.

Seeing her sleeping with her clothes thrown off and scratching her stomach, Lydia made a shocked expression.

I’m sorry Lydia.

It’s not my fault, it’s your fault, but I think I planted a bad impression on my nun.

“She struggled so much and talked so much that she couldn’t sleep well.”

I said that and pointed to my eyes.

As if she hadn’t slept, Lydia, horrified at the appearance of her dark circles, hurriedly approached her and used her divine power.

I don’t mind if you don’t.

I thanked Lydia with a look of relief from the slowly improving fatigue.

“Breakfast… Were you working?”

“Yes? No, it’s not like that… I was just curious about the reaction.”

“The response was very good.”

I guess…

Lydia hesitated, and since she was watching too hard, she cheered for a fight, then closed the door again and left.

“You even took care of Elena’s.”

Because it’s really thoughtful.

Of course, Elena, who went around saying that she would sleep with her all day, would be Elena, but she didn’t forget that, and she was just grateful to Lydia for bringing Elena’s breakfast.

Looking down at the still warm breakfast, I got up and approached to wake Elena…

“Did you have to do that?”

When did it happen… ?

Before I knew it, Elena, who had spoken to me with her eyes open, raised her body.

She stretched her breasts exposed, as if she had no intention of covering them with her blanket.

She was embarrassed and turned her head away, and Elena smiled.

“Why are you so shy after looking at my body yesterday anyway?”

“That and this are different… “

“Come to think of it, did I say I wanted to paint with my body? Can you draw me a picture if I pose for you now?”

“Eat some rice.”

I said so and handed her her share of Elena.

Elena, who took the rice I handed her to her, put it into her mouth with a regretful voice saying that her reaction was bland.

“Oh, delicious.”

“Because it is the convent where I am. Of course, there are only high-level children.”

I didn’t educate them, but Lydia said that, so I wouldn’t be wrong.

I always feel it while eating, but how can I serve it after cooking it with my favorite liver?

Both in my previous life and in my current life as a saint, I’ve never tried this type of cooking, so I don’t know what it’s like.

Since it’s a fantasy, most of the food types are Western-style, so it was even more amazing.

“Would you like to eat this one more time?”

“It’s okay… I want to draw a picture.”

“Then would you like me to be your model?”

“I’ll ask you later. I have to draw something else now.”

I took out the file I had drawn Lydia’s body on, opened it, and started drawing her.

This is a reference file.

Not only Lydia, but also all the things with various human bodies were drawn together and put in here.

Paradoxically, it is more difficult to draw a crooked body than a perfect body, such as an obese person or a person with body problems.

That part is a field that can be used only when the human body has been studied.

It is said that there is nothing difficult about the perfect body because it is enough to draw it as it is when it is in the posture I know.

In that sense, it is good to have data on what happens when you are in a specific posture in order to prevent the drawing from happening when you draw a cartoon.

In that sense, the last time Lydia helped me was enough to elevate my painting.

Of course Elena…

“Are you listening?”

“Yes?”

When did you talk?

It’s because when I think about this and that while drawing, I sometimes can’t even hear what people around me are talking about.

In this case, it seemed like I didn’t hear it because I was concentrating on drawing the next manga.

“Could you say it again? It’s because I have a hard time hearing when I focus on something.”

“Therefore… I mean the academy.”

“Academy… ? Ah! Come to think of it, I asked to enter the academy.”

“What if I forget what I said… “

Elena let out a deep sigh, then she lay down on the bed and turned around, she looked at me.

“I was going to say that it was difficult for me to become a student because I am a hero.”

“Yes? Wait a minute, I hadn’t heard of that… “

“That’s natural. Didn’t you hear that it would be difficult for you to become a normal student because you are a saint?”

I did listen

Still, I thought that the reason why I was in a different country called the Holy Kingdom and the Empire was the biggest reason.

Did you just say that it would be difficult for them to become students because they simply had nothing to teach them?

“What… So, the only way I can get into it is to become a swordsmanship instructor.”

“Swordsmanship Instructor… “

“However, no matter how brave I am, I am still young, so I don’t think there is an instructor who would like to teach me as a female warrior.”

That’s right.

This is not another place, it is the Middle Ages, where old-fashioned prejudices remain.

Right now, even in the culture related to love, a movement is taking place all over the world based on the cartoons I drew.

The problem of sexism is still rampant in the world.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s as serious as in the real Middle Ages, and it’s to the extent that such a prejudice remains.

“So you’ll have to be nice to me.”

“I am… “

What could I do

At most, she is a saint, and since God did not allow gender discrimination, I think she can only say something to the hero to refrain from excessive words and actions.

“That is enough. Even if it’s from a different country, if someone your size talks about it, the weight will be on a different level.”

That’s it, but…

Well, it would be enough if the person in charge told me to do so.

“However… Why are you suddenly going to the academy?”

“Ah… Come to think of it, I didn’t talk about it.”

She said roughly that she was going to enter the academy, so she only asked me to join her, but she never explained why she was entering.

“Just… Would it be an answer if I replied that it was to get along with the Empire once again?”

“To make friends with the Empire again… ?”

“What… That’s it. What else… “

There is a bone to the reason why I want to become friends with the empire again.

In the end, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was because of Marie that I had this thought again.

If it hadn’t been for Marie, no, if I hadn’t met Mario again, I wouldn’t have thought of becoming friends with the Empire again.

In a way, you could say that Marie drew me back into the world of politics.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m resentful of Marie.

“Because living like this is boring.”

“That’s not something a saintess would say… ?”

“Just because she’s a saintess doesn’t mean she’s all unnecessarily nice.”

Especially if you’re like me.

She usually acts like a saint, but she doesn’t have to pretend to be nice now. I’m the only one who knows about my true nature anyway, and in Elena’s case, she was just sucking and sucking.

“Anyway… I’m going to take the instructor’s seat… How are you going to get in?”

“I am… I have to enter as a priest.”

Because the empire also believes in the same god as the holy kingdom.

If I, as a saint, go and teach theology to students at the academy, I think she will be very happy.

I can’t help it if I don’t accept it, but I won’t.

Because Mary said so.

“Once I got it. I will prepare it too.”

“That’s it.”

I said that and smiled.

What’s left now is the academy.

…

…

“Before that, I should start drawing manga… “

Come to think of it, I haven’t finished posting yet.

Ego.
