Chapter 20 – 20.First Friend (6)
***
After completing the subjugation of Halfmoon Bear.
Sihan Lee and Pamela returned to Lucedia Academy and finished the report.
Pamela is currently resting alone in the inn room, thanks to Sihan Lee’s consideration to recover her body, which she was exhausted from climbing the mountain.
“Best friend… Hehe, hehe, hehe…”
He was laughing heartily, replaying the words Lee Si-han had told him over and over again in his head.
Lee Si-han said today that he is my best friend.
Pamela was laughing heartily, playing those words over and over again in her head while waiting for the carriage, riding the carriage, and even while receiving her pay.
Knowing that, Sihan Lee also immediately suggested taking a break.
The intention was not to disturb the happy alone time.
Pamela has had no friends since she was young.
Not only was she a witch’s disciple, but Pamela’s personality also played a role, making her friendless.
Children of the same age who stutter, laugh darkly when something good happens, and even leave because they feel bad when they say what they know quickly in an attempt to become friends.
Therefore, for Pamela, her friends were like fantasy animals.
However, as if it wasn’t enough for her to tell me to become her friend, someone appeared who told me that she was her best friend.
It’s Lee Si-han.
Pamela still couldn’t believe that Li Sihan had become her friend, but she was so happy.
The first friend I made.
First Friend.
One such friend told me that he was her best friend.
This is Lee Si-han, who showed great skills not only in the entrance exam but also in the mountains.
It completely pierced the golem created at the Academy to its core.
Even when dealing with Half Moon Bear, he acted calmly and easily defeated it with overwhelming skill.
Pamela didn’t know much about her spear skills, but when she thought back to the successful applicants who had struggled in her entrance exam, she knew that Lee Si-han’s skills were overwhelming.
But Lee Si-han is not only talented.
To Pamela, she was kind and had a great personality.
To use a metaphor, he was a saint himself.
‘He listened to my story without hesitation…’
Especially when I asked them to talk about medicinal herbs in the carriage.
Pamela felt like she was having a happy dream.
Pamela also knows this from her own experience.
Other people say they don’t really like talking about herbs.
In particular, if you bring up insects, they frown or leave immediately.
However, Sihan Lee instead asked to tell the story of his herbal medicine.
In addition to that.
‘Ha, I asked you to say it one more time. Hehe…’
Pamela spoke so fast that I couldn’t hear her and asked her to say it again.
Pamela accepted that she was interested in herbal medicine so much that she wanted to hear from Sihan Lee again.
‘Ho, if you are Mr. Sihan, you might also like stories about insects… ‘ Ah, no, you can’t think too much! You may be okay with herbs, but you may dislike insects. Well, if it’s Mr. Sihan… If you like it…’
In her mind, Pamela imagined her, Sihan Lee being happy to hear her talk about her own insects.
-Wow, are there such insects? Very interesting. Thanks for stopping by, Pamela. After all, you are my best friend.
Hehe… It’s too much praise to call him my best friend, Mr. Sihan~.”
Pamela was embarrassed by Lee Si-han’s imagined lines of her and her her body her and her she was sobbing.
It is unclear whether Lee Si-han really likes talking about insects.
But she has many opportunities to know in the future.
There are several schools in the academy, but classes are not divided by school at all.
Cadets in the early stages of admission must first take classes that are held at a set time.
After taking basic classes, each student is given a choice.
That means you can choose to take classes in the field you are interested in for a set amount of time.
It didn’t matter what school the class was from.
A cadet who mainly uses a sword can take classes at the Magic School, and a cadet who aims for development can take classes at the New School.
Or, you didn’t have to take any classes other than those you had to take in common.
The academy is a place where talented people are gathered and nurtured, but it is left up to the cadets to decide how they want to grow.
However, since I did not take classes, I check twice a year to see how much I have grown during that time or how much I have accumulated achievements that are helpful to the world.
If a cadet is judged to have failed to achieve any results four times without any special reasons, the cadet will be expelled from the academy.
In other words, in addition to the common classes, Pamela can also take the classes that Sihan Lee is taking if she wants, so she can chat with friends who are taking the same classes.
Even if that’s not the case, Pamela is in the same group as Lee Si-han.
There were ample opportunities for conversation as we spent time doing the same group activities after all classes.
“Same group… Same group as Sihan… Hehe, hehe. Huh!”
While she was laughing again, the negative thoughts she had accumulated since childhood warned Pamela.
This is not the time to wander.
Although she suggested the same group.
Although she said she was a friend.
That’s because the magic he learned from his teacher he helped Sihan Lee.
If you’re just relieved that you’re in the same group and can’t grow at all…
-After so much time, I can’t believe I’ve grown so much… As a friend, I am disappointed. You get out of my group, Pamela. This caterpillar is a witch!
A rather negative and fabricated thought passed through Pamela’s head.
“Oh, no, no!”
Pamela screamed, clutching her head in a situation that was terrifying to even imagine, as her body trembled.
“Ah, ah, ah, no. Go, go, I have to be strong. Si-han, I have to be strong so that Mr. Sihan doesn’t abandon me… !”
A barely made first friend.
In order not to disappoint Lee Sihan, who called her her best friend her, Pamela ignited her desire for strength for the first time in her life.
‘When I become stronger…’
-Oh, Pamela! My best friend! It’s so strong! I’m so proud! Please continue to be my best friend!
“Of course not! Sihan! Hehe!”
It was Pamela, whose body was sobbing again with happy thoughts.
***
The next morning.
After we finished eating, I spoke to Pamela.
“Then let’s set off for Valendia, Pamela.”
“Huh?! W-what do you mean?!”
‘It seems like you didn’t pay attention to what I said yesterday.’
On the way to Valendia by carriage.
I kept talking to Pamela, who was smiling brightly.
“Pamela, we will now be in the same group. Depending on the purpose of the group, we will travel to many areas.”
“Hehe, hehe, that’s right~.”
“So, I’m going to go to Valendia and get the equipment you need.”
Hehe, I think it’s good~.”
“Okay, then we’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
“Yes~ hehe, hehe…”
‘Are you really understanding?’
The answer was good so I skipped over it, but I guess I’ll have to explain it again.
“Didn’t you say that while riding back in the carriage yesterday?”
To Pamela she said the same thing she had said yesterday.
“So from now on I’m going to Valendia.”
“I see, that’s what it was. Ah, ah, I’m sorry! Are you offended because someone like me ignores your words? Even if you’re a friend, ignoring something is bad and you shouldn’t do it! Ah! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! “I’m sorry for being a stupid, idiotic earthworm-like witch who ignores me! No, I’m sorry for comparing me to the earthworm who enriches the land!”
Pamela repeatedly bowed her head to me.
“No, it could be because you’re tired from climbing the mountain.”
“Oh, that, that’s not it…”
Don’t worry, Pamela.
Because I almost ignore the second half of what you said
“Pamela.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Let’s leave. Is there anything you can take with you?”
“Oh, there isn’t one!”
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, yes!”
Just like now, I ignored Pamela’s apology for her low self-esteem and set off for Valendia with Pamela.
And two days later.
I arrived in Valendia in almost 5 days.
“W-this is a bar, bar, Valendia…” ” .”
“Is this your first time in Valendia?”
“I arrived at Lucedia Academy by… Taking a different route carriage.”
“I see. Then, after we finish our errands, let’s go to the cafe I recommend. The cookies and… Apple pie there are very delicious.”
“Yes, yes!”
After getting off the carriage, I headed to Cats Store with Pamela.
The staff at Cats Company recognized me.
“Mr. Sihan Lee!”
“Is Sasha in her office?”
“Yes! The boss is inside.”
“Good. Are you meeting any guests?”
“No, you are alone.”
“Okay.”
“The person with me… “
“He’s a friend. I’ll introduce him to Sasha too.”
“I understand.”
The employee nodded and lowered his head and went back to his business.
“Hey, uh, over there, Mr. Sihan.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“J-Ji, the staff was very rude to Mr. Sihan. Is it possible that Mr. Sihan was a nobleman?”
“No, I just know the president of Cats Company.”
“Ah, I know the president of a commercial company… ! Uh, uhuh…”
I guess Pamela thought I just came to Cats Store to buy equipment.
Well, I didn’t go into detail about some of them.
That way, you can enjoy Pamela’s embarrassment a lot.
Look at that dumbfounded, trembling face.
Isn’t it a very nice sight?
The lack of a community live function, which is sometimes found in game-possessed novels, is so divisive that it is a shame to watch it alone.
And I arrived at Sasha’s office with Pamela.
Knock.
First, knock for courtesy.
“Yes, who are you?”
“Sasha, it’s me.”
“… !”
Jump up after a while! And the office door opened.
Sasha, her eyes bright, greeted me with her characteristic mischievous smile.
“Oh~! After failing the exam, you decided to work at a commercial company!”
“No.”
He immediately took out the academy badge from his inventory and showed it.
“I passed.”
“Tsk.”
There was no playfulness in the tongue click.
