Chapter 91 – Welcome Ball

#091.

Hehe…”
“Rai.. Why are you like that?”

When she smiled darkly after sparring, Seria asked with a displeased expression.

“No, nothing. Hehe…”
“…”

Seria backed away from me, who let out a sullen laugh again.

I saw it, but I still couldn’t contain my emotions.

It’s only four days before the prom, but I’m sure.

Confidence that the plan will succeed.

It was because I checked on the weekend and succeeded in attacking the cockcat that had been ignoring me for weeks.

When I just went there, the sight of the guy who treated me as a rock I saw along the way turned my boat over as soon as I sprayed perfume on it, it was almost a waste to see it alone.

I think I can understand why you can seduce the Myoin tribe if you have this.

Of course, the Myoin tribe is still a similar species with reason, so there is no way they can be disarmed at once like cats.

But even so, at least I would be able to get a good feeling.

‘Shall we go and seduce the Cat Humans too…’

After thinking about that for a while, mate! And hit the ball.

“No… From what happened right in front of you…”

How can you judge a subject that even the woman right next to you has yet to capture?

It was a foolish decision.

I immediately regained my senses and sparred with Seria, so it was lunchtime soon.

“I go first!”
“What? Already?”
“Okay!”

Not wanting to be later than Cristina, she ran straight to the shower.

─Shoot aaaaa!

When you press the switch, water pours from the shower head and soaks your entire body.

It was no different from before, but perhaps because of my mood, a refreshing feeling of pleasure spread through every corner of my body.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I headed straight to the abandoned building.

‘Isn’t it there yet?’

This is a top priority for planning.

It’s meaningless if you don’t arrive first.

Having figured out her character, Christina, as of now, has revealed that she has great pride in her own abilities.

When I asked Seria, she said that the Countess of Camelot is famous for their magic.

It is difficult for a magical family to survive in the Harpe Empire, an empire of knights.

Nevertheless, the fact that they are still alive means that they are a magically superior family.

Being a 23-year-old professor at the academy for five years already meant that he was an incredibly talented person.

‘Did I say he was an illegitimate child?’

How competent does it take for an illegitimate son of a count to become a professor at such a young age?

Anyway, the important thing is that Christina is proud of her own abilities and has a high enthusiasm for her research.

As a bonus, she also likes cats, so she just needs to attack that place.

‘What will happen…’

As long as things go well, the attack will have a good tailwind.

The anticipation made her heart beat like crazy.

She took the fish she had prepared in advance and entered the abandoned building.

Still, she moved cautiously just in case, and eventually she found herself in a classroom frequented by cock-cats.

“None.”

Fortunately, there was still no sign of Christina coming or going.

She looked around and immediately took her cologne from her inventory and sprayed it on to summon the cock kitty.

OK..

Oh oh oh

Right away, a cock-cat appeared from between the cracked walls.

Then he lays down near my shoes and exposes his stomach.

“You snobbish bastard… Eat this.”

Take the fish out of the bag right away and eat it very deliciously.

She watched him quietly and looked around.

‘When are you coming?’

It’s about time to come, but why is there no news?

‘Couldn’t it be that I’m not skipping today?’

When I was turning my mana sensor with such anxiety, a person entered my range.

And the person who came into range flinched and immediately blocked my detection.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

There was no way that Christina would not be able to sense the aura of a person of a lower level than herself.

As I was stroking her cock kitty’s head with the feeling of her black eyes, a presence immediately rose from behind.

‘Wow… It’s no joke.’

I never thought I’d be caught behind without even realizing it.

She was quite surprised on the inside, but on the outside she said with an unfazed composure.

“Are you here?”
“…”
“Why are you silent? You came to see the cat.”

I immediately stopped stroking it, stood up, and turned around to see Christina with a hard expression on her face.

“Why is this…”
“I saw the professor go here the other day. It was hard to become friends with this guy.”

I pointed at the cock kitty nibbling at her fish, and Cristina lowered her gaze accordingly, then she looked back at me.

“Huh… Why the hell are you doing this?”
“I am interested in the professor. You said it every time.”
“I mean nothing in Camelot. Even if you marry me, you won’t get anything, so give up.”

‘Aha.. It was something like this..’

I thought it was strange since professors were commoners, but I never thought this fact would be hidden.

In other words, all those who approached Christina so far were aiming for a rise in status.

I can’t quite understand

Is it something like a rise in status that catches your eye?

‘It’s so pretty.’

Her face, displeased as if she thought she was being followed, is also very beautiful.

It felt like my heart was pounding with a hammer every time the long eyelashes descended.

The eyes of the blue sea created raging waves, and the country easily destroyed the sand castle.

“I don’t care about rising in status, right? Is it because the professor is good?”
“…”

Christina’s eyes fluttered as if she were agitated by her unrelenting and unrelenting courtship.

She met her eyes for a moment before stepping over to the cock kitty and gently stroking her hair.

Then Christina’s gaze also turned downward again.

“What is this cat’s name?”
“…What did you do? He’s a kid who doesn’t like her hands.”

Certainly, if it wasn’t for the perfume, he would never have let me touch him.

Maybe Cristina also became friends over a really long period of time.

She will feel somewhat deprived because she will never even touch it herself.

“I wonder?”

She asked with a smirk, and she wondered if Cristina thought she was up to something, so she turned around and left the abandoned building.

She got up hastily, approached and grabbed hold.

“Oh! Wait. Why are you just leaving?”
“What are you going to ask for in return for that?”

I noticed it now, but the way he spoke had changed to half-speaking.

Perhaps it was because she was sensitive to feeling deprived of her own home.

I let out a deep sigh at the question as I shook my arm.

“Ehh.. What price are you asking for something like this? You won’t even listen.”
“Then why..?”
“That’s right, I was going to talk to the professor. As proof of that, you are dealing with me now.”

Until now, she had been Christina, who had been pushing me away as if she didn’t want to mix the conversation with me at all, but now she was dragging on her conversation for quite a long time.

With just this amount, 50 gold was well worth it.

“Is that the end? Why? Why are you even doing that?”

Christina’s mask finally cracked.

She came to me with a fever, no matter where her normally cold appearance had gone.

“Did you tell me earlier? That’s because I like the professor.”
“Haa.. You mean that? I don’t understand…”

After all, Christina was not a cold woman by nature.

She wasn’t alone because she wanted to.

Why did she bother to visit the cat in this abandoned building?

Of course it’s because I’m lonely.

She must have been badly burned by the men she had been approaching so far.

As much as she was, it was natural that she was wary.

Therefore..

‘I must be weak to express that I like you consistently like this.’

Others must have stabbed it a few times.

I watched Christina press her temples as if her head hurt, then took her cologne from her arms.

“That..”
“I don’t know? I heard that the Myoin people are going crazy. What did you say your name was? Was it Fresia?”

She has no interest in names, so her memory is fuzzy.

“The price must be exorbitant. How do you…”

It seemed that 50 gold was not a price that even Christina could ignore.

Recalling what she said earlier, she seemed to be in a position that was alienated from her family, so there was no way she could support her.

I probably don’t have enough money to spend all the money I earned at the academy on research.

“You want it?”
“…It’s okay.”

Cristina, ashamed to show her agitated side, bit her lip and she pulled away from me.

She sprayed her cologne on Christina right away, in the mood to leave her seat at any moment.

Then the kitty reacted immediately and lunged at Christina.

Ohhhhh!!

“Oh..!”

Lying down right in front of her and making fun of her, Cristina couldn’t help but pass by.

When she paused, she said from the side.

“I trade. I’ll give you this, so please do me a favor.”
“…What kind of request.”

As if he would refuse any strange offer, he said, looking at his sharp eyes.

“Please be my prom partner this time.”
“I’m serious? There will be bad rumors if you do that.”

He asked with a smirk in his eyes that had lost his anticipation before he knew it.

“Are you worried?”
“I’m warning you in advance.”

Giving this warning was proof that he was kind.

‘As expected, my eyes are accurate.’

I like a woman who is beautiful not only on the outside but also at heart.

There’s no way that the girl I fell in love with at first sight could be really cold.

Sigh-

As soon as I grabbed her hand and put her cologne on her, Christina stared at her and said,

“Did you say prom? Okay. I’ll accept the deal.”
“Uh? Are you really going to accept it?”

When he asked again, not knowing how to accept it so easily, Christina firmly drew a line between her.

“It’s just a deal. No nonsense is allowed.”
“Sure.”

Again – again –

After saying that, Cristina left the abandoned building.

“Whoa.. How did it go?”

She honestly didn’t think she would accept the offer right away on the first day.

I was just thinking of persuading her by constantly peeping at her face, but it was unexpected.

‘I didn’t expect it to be just perfume…’

Of course, I am not going to be satisfied here.

The prom is only the beginning, and the plans that follow are more important.

She hurried to the classroom, checking her plan on how to judo.

***

─Fondang!

“Haa.. Are you serious?”

Cristina sighed deeply as she soaked herself in her bathtub.

From the day she entered the school, until a month later, she kept thinking of the boy she had a crush on.

“Lai… I said.”

Until now, the men who had approached her in this way were numerous.

However, it was only informal, and no one thought to show off at a formal occasion like a ball.

It was natural.

All of them were just beasts who were desperate to seduce an easy-going aristocrat in order to raise their status.

Either that, or he just coveted his body.

She herself was just one of those many work subjects.

However, even after that, it became known that she had run away from her family, and after that, she decreased dramatically.

It was self-evident that she would have nothing to gain by becoming the husband of a runaway illegitimate child.

That made it all the more difficult for Cristina to understand.

She said, “Did I say she was six stars at the age of 15?”

Cristina remembered a story she overheard the other week or so.

Since she was a child, it has been rumored that she won a martial arts competition by going head-to-head with Bianca Yurinas, who was famous for being a genius.

Can a mere commoner become that strong?

Of course it is possible.

If you have a great, really inexplicable talent.

But such a great talent shows interest in himself.

For Christina, she was understandably distrustful.

“Haa.. Rather, it went well. It would be more comfortable this way.”

I also thought that if rumors spread that I was dating Rai, there would be fewer flirting with men than now.

Besides, since I got the Fresia perfume that I always wanted, I only had to fulfill the contract as a transaction.

Christina thought so.

She thought about this for a while, and after her bath, Cristina began drying her hair with her dressing table, wearing only her underwear.

“If only it had been normal from the beginning…”

When she looked in the mirror, she saw a beauty that radiated a dazzling beauty even in her own eyes.

White blonde hair shining brilliantly in her wet hair and her voluptuous breasts that couldn’t be held in one hand.

And her narrow waist, wide silence followed, and long legs.

Beauty without the power to protect is no different from sin.

She’s on her own, and with her talent for magic, she’s succeeded in defending her body, but she still has her own dangers.

Even now, letters from old people who want bodies in the name of research sponsors continue to fly in every day.

“How can I get out of here..”

She was Chris Nita, who once wore her hair cut like a man’s, thinking it was because of her looks.

But what came back was a colder gaze than usual.

As soon as even her weapon, her appearance, disappeared, she became a person with only modest magic skills as her strengths.

What kind of person is that child, that student named Rai?

This time, too, is she a snob who hides her true feelings? Or someone you really… Trust?

Cristina, who was confused between the two, patted her on the cheek.

“It’s a useless idea… Let’s go to sleep.”

After confirming that her hair was dry, Christina put on her underwear and a shirt and lay down on her bed.

As she gazed at the ceiling, her mother’s face flashed in Christina’s mind.

“Mom… What should I do? Please tell us..”

When she was little, she asked, thinking of her mother who always gave her a kind smile, but it only dissipated as an empty echo of her.

“It’s stupid..”

Cristina let out a dejected laugh at the thought that she was still as weak as she was when she was a child, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
