Chapter 35 – The Freshman Didn’t Hide the Slave (5)

Meals at the academy are basically free, but you can order more delicious food for an additional fee.

Isn’t it the academy’s policy not to admit unfair oppression using one’s status, but not to deny one’s status itself?

It must be to calm the dissatisfaction of the nobles by giving them a gap with the commoners in these small details.

Well, in the game, it was simply a menu used for liking.

He said he really liked it when he treated a character with the poverty attribute.

“Yandel. You said you were a commoner, right? … I don’t think he’s an ordinary commoner, but I’m calling him this time, so I’ll buy it.”

“If you do, I would be grateful. Thanks to Glenciel-sama, I can try something delicious.”

Actually, if it’s money, I’ll have more… Originally, free rice tastes better.

And it is also a national rule to give someone who buys rice a proper gilding.

I expressed my gratitude moderately and waited for the food I ordered for a while.

Even though I deliberately sat in a deserted corner, I wonder if the noisy surroundings of other students bothered me. Elisha lightly waved her hand and murmured.

“It is a veil of secrecy. Hide our whispers. Silence.”

A small hemispherical wave of magical energy that spreads around Elisha.

When Kara and I entered it, the surrounding noise all at once subsided.

Elisha, who smiled with satisfaction at the effect of Silence, finally brought up the main topic, not a simple matter of personal affairs.

“First of all, I swear to Mother, the World Tree, I didn’t want anything this severe.”

“Are you talking about Carla’s treatment?”

“Then how about something else?”

Do you believe in silence magic? It was still a dignified tone, but it was a voice that did not hide a sharpened feeling.

The grumbling of Elisha’s grumbling, the blood flowed out naturally. As she forcibly endured this, Elisha let out a deep sigh and continued her words.

“What… To be honest. It’s true that I was trying to tease you a little. You know? Me and unnie Carla… Hmmm. Things between Carla.”

“I got to know about it recently after hearing from Carla.”

“… Did you find out this time? Yandel. How long have you been into magic?”

“It’s only been a little over a month.”

“Oh? Not only did you pass the academy in that short span of time, but to the extent that you were assigned to a top class? She must have been gifted with great talent.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

Elisha covered her mouth and made a surprised expression. But this didn’t last very long.

Like other attendants from earlier, she glanced at Karla, who was standing behind me and kept her mouth shut, and brought up her original subject again.

“Anyway, it should be quick to say that you know. Once again, she didn’t want to ruin Carla this much. Nor did she want to give her shame in public.”

“Yes. I understand that part well.”

“Of course, I cannot say that I am not responsible. Bondi, when ordering someone else to do something, you have to tell her exactly what she wants, but I neglected that part.”

Elisha sighs again and acknowledges her own inadequacies.

Although her ego is strong, this time she really thinks she made a mistake.

… I don’t think he did it on purpose.

“It’s already caused quite a stir, but it’s still only the first day. I can end it enough from now on.”

“So… Are you telling me to be nicer to Carla from now on?”

“Yes. At least she shouldn’t be so pitiful to look at as she is now. Treat them more like servants than slaves.”

It’s not difficult. No, actually, this way is the best for me.

In the first place, the reason I pretended to bully Karla at the academy was all because of Elisha.

Now that the misunderstanding has been revealed, there is no reason to make Karla act pitiful.

My image is also an image… More than that, because she has developed an attachment to Karla, she also wants to treat her a little better.

A woman like Karla acts like a master and a master and tries all sorts of fawning to look good to me, how could I not like it?

While I was thinking of Carla for a while. Elisha also stared at my back as if she remembered the same person and became a bit lonely.

“The Carla Lindelheit I knew was not like this. She was much more assertive, much more beautiful, and radiant. She’s like a star that I can’t reach no matter how much I stretch out my hands.”

“…….”

Carla, still standing behind me, said nothing.

It feels like he’s trying to hide behind my back.

“You have been my lifelong goal. I wanted to be like you. I wanted to surpass you someday.”

“…….”

“How on earth did you, Carla, end up like this….”

“…….”

“I don’t want to be like you now.”

“…….”

In Elisha’s lamentation, Karla had no choice but to hang her head down as if she had become a sinner.

It is said that she was close to her when she was young, but from one day she was a younger brother who burned her with a sense of inferiority and competition.

I heard this story from Elisha. I can’t help but feel shabby compared to the present, which has become a mere slave, and the splendid past.

… Are you getting a little spoiled?

The moment I was about to say something because I was crying.

Back.

Carla grabbed my back and stopped me.

When she glanced back, it was only then that Carla, who had lifted her face, was pouting her lips.

“No.”

“What are you talking about, Carla?”

“That Ellie… No, I’m not that pitiful like Mr. Glenciel said. Master, you are very good to me.”

A child’s stubborn tone. Elisha was also taken aback by this, and only her lips pursed as she looked back and forth between me and Carla.

However, Karla nodded her head when she noticed a serviceman approaching her from afar, as if she was trying to brag about me properly.

“I will prove it.”

The waiter had no way of knowing what was going on over here, since it was a corner seat and even had a silence spell applied.

He politely put the dishes down and left.

It’s obvious, but it’s not Carla’s share.

It’s not because I’m a slave. It is common sense in this world that servants and servants should not be humble with their masters.

Seeing her meal for two, Karla opened her mouth with a meaningful smile.

“You know that, Miss Glenciel?”

“What?”

“We do not feed the slaves. Especially for a young and beautiful slave like me who deserves to be beaten carelessly.”

“… Then won’t you starve to death?”

“No. Instead, I take medicine so I don’t die. Master, please take that out.”

Carla urged me by stabbing me in the shoulder.

What are you trying to do? If you stay still, you will continue to poke it. For now, take out the meal replacement pills you bought in advance from your inventory.

“Huh! I thought it was something made for emergency food. Are there enough nutrients, are you only feeding medicine instead of rice? You won’t feel any special taste, so you can use it as a leash that hides gourmet food.”

“It is a little different. There is no satiety magic here.”

“Eh? Then….”

“Right. It’s not the sense of taste, but the leash of hunger.”

“That, isn’t that too much?!”

Elisha glared at me with eyes that seemed like how a person could do such a cruel thing.

I didn’t do it….

The moment I was about to shake my head with a confused expression. Carla nodded her head one step faster than me.

“Right! Is it really too much? Do you know what happens when a person is hungry? It just feels like there’s a hole in my stomach, and I want to eat my arm, and I feel miserable, like I could really do anything for a loaf of bread!”

Carla continued her rant, her ruby ​​eyes twinkling.

“However! The master is different! Do you allow me to eat at least some rice? How merciful you are….”

“Huh… Come to think of it, I said I would prove it earlier. Are you saying you want to show it here? Carla, the way you eat properly?”

Elisha nodded her head, as if asking her to try it.

A servant is not even allowed to sit down with his master, but he even hands over the food I ordered him to eat?

It’s not like this is going to be a gossip like this.

Maybe Elisha didn’t think that I would hand over her meals to Carla, even at the expense of her face.

In response, Karla nodded her head triumphantly.

“Sure! Take a good look!”

Carla naturally stands next to me. But for some reason, the corner of her mouth is raised ominously.

It looks like she’s up to something. Let’s keep quiet and pretend we don’t know.

Suddenly, Karla knelt down in front of me and pulled one leg behind her.

Dr-

The chair pushed by Karla’s feet made a sound of dragging on her floor.

It was probably because it was pushed out of the range of Silence that Elisha had spread.

-Luck! A few people around who must have heard the sound glanced at him. Then he opened his eyes wide.

Yes, everyone is surprised to see a person kneeling in the corner of a restaurant with silence.

Elisha didn’t know that Carla would fall to her knees as easily as Elisha did, and the situation was as hard as the expression from a moment ago.

In that situation, Carla bowed her head in a very calm manner.

“Master, master. Could you please allow this lowly slave a pleasant meal?”

“… Uh, yes Will this be enough?”

Among the many plates placed in front of me, he handed me one with a large piece of meat on it.

Carla, who respectfully received her teeth and put them on the floor, put on a very moved expression as she clasped her hands in front of her own breasts.

However, from this point on, there was a strong feeling of awkwardness, whether it was her area of ​​acting.

“Ah… Thank you, master.”

Carla slowly lowered her head and kissed her on the instep of my foot.

I really didn’t even think about this, so this time even I hesitated for a moment.

Me and Elisha, all of them were standing in a daze. Carla was the only one who was moving awkwardly.

Carla knelt on her knees and bent only her upper body, burying her face in the bowl she had just received.

It’s like a dog eating dog food.

Beyond that, the face of an unknown student staring at her with her mouth wide open comes into view.

Suddenly, she came to her senses and quickly put her hand into Karla’s armpit and pulled her up as if hugging her… After things have already happened.

Everyone in the restaurant was looking this way with a shocked expression.

I can’t hear what’s going on because of Elisha’s silence magic, but it must be the same over there.

Elisha with a look on her face telling her to try it, and Carla kissing my feet in front of her and putting her nose into a plate like her dog.

What if what was on that plate was the paid menu of her academy that Karla would have eaten often?

Even so, as if this was a bit harsh, disgusted gazes pour down on Elisha.

Elisha, who had grasped her situation, shook her head violently with her pale face.

“Oh no! Misunderstanding! I… I never did anything like that!”

However, since the silence magic is still maintained, Elisha’s words will not reach you.

To them, it would seem that Elisha suddenly became angry.

Elisha became garbage in an instant.

Carla looked at her while holding her in my arms and gave a small smile.

Hehe.”

I hope you were aiming… ?
