Chapter 72 – Snow Balls (5)

“Then can I get some nun clothes?”

“… Yes?”

“I think three suits would be enough.”

“…….”

Helena tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

“Brother Yandel… Are you male? Then shouldn’t I wear a priest’s clothes instead of a nun’s?”

“Oh, that’s not what I’m wearing.”

“?”

As if she couldn’t understand more, Helena’s golden eyes blinked.

But I steadfastly pushed for an answer.

“Is it okay, Priest Helena?”

“There is nothing that cannot be done. However, since it was taken out of the country, I think we should give it without the symbol of our church….”

“No problem. It just needs to look like a nun’s uniform.”

“No way… ?”

At this point, as if she had guessed where I was going to use it, Helena secretly turned her gaze to Karla.

And then, did she gain confidence after seeing Karla, who had been restless from earlier?

Helena’s expression darkened.

The difference is felt even more because she was the one who had been praising me while vomiting out a little while ago.

Still, Helena nodded her head shyly as if she couldn’t say no.

“Yes… What… There will be a few nuns left over, so I’ll repair them properly and send them to you….”

“Thank you.”

After that, we continued to talk about this and that, but the atmosphere had become awkward as it was already awkward, so there was not much nutritious conversation.

To put it bluntly, the content that the Protestant Church’s vigilance toward cults has risen even further?

Unlike so far, where only one-time terrors were knocked out, this time, it was only natural that he led a full-scale battle.

It’s fortunate for me.

Anyway, I was listening to how the original H&A scenario and now have changed for a while.

We ran out of things to say to each other, and it seemed like it was lunch time, so I asked if we would like to eat together.

“Sorry. Today, I have a prior agreement with the priests from this main church….”

“A. You don’t have to be sorry. Rather, it seems that I was holding onto the priest too much. Then wake up today and see you next time.”

“Yes. Since Brother Yandel has decided to officially establish a relationship with us, there will be many things to meet in the future. Take good care of me.”

After saying that, she parted ways with Helena and headed towards the central square.

After all, wouldn’t it be nice to meet Fei and go back to the dormitory?

Unlike 1st year A class, which is on hiatus due to her attack, Fei, who is in 2nd year A class, will have classes today, but….

It’s lunchtime now, so that’s fine.

“Whoa… Just because the academy is large doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. It’s annoying to move.”

“Master, the time has come for your illusions about the academy to be shattered. It looks nice and has facilities, but it’s really annoying to go back and forth.”

Carla nodded her head as if she understood everything, and whispered in a small voice.

“By the way, Master. Did you really want to dress me up like that?”

“Of course. I almost died once, but I felt very sad when I remembered what I hadn’t done.”

“So… You mean I was the person you remembered right before you died?”

“Is this how… ?”

As I walked around chatting lightly with that kind of feeling, I suddenly started to feel the gaze around me.

Wanting something, let’s look around, the students whispering in my direction.

I’ve been receiving various attentions while taking Karla around, but this time it’s a little different.

It wasn’t a look of jealousy or disapproval, as usual, but a mixture of admiration and disbelief.

I asked, stabbing Karla’s side.

“Carlaya Carlaya. How come the eyes looking this way are unusual. What do you think?”

“Isn’t it a natural reaction since the master actually did something unusual?”

“It has been three days since I was brought to the academy collapsed… No, today is the 4th day. Rumors have already spread like this?”

“It was such a thing that the academy turned upside down once. Even the contents are unbelievable. Do you know how surprised I was when I first heard it?”

It was only after hearing Carla’s words that he continued, that he seemed to understand why his reaction changed like flipping his palm.

They say I’m not very impressed because I’m Edmerek, who was defeated in H&A, but it’s obviously a big deal to them.

You can’t ignore me the way you did before, for defeating an archbishop-level cultist.

Of course, I wasn’t the only one who defeated it, and if it was another archbishop other than Edmerek, I wouldn’t have defeated it.

If this is the reaction to one Edmerek, it’s worth seeing what will happen in the future.

Giggling alone, he moved to his next destination, Fei’s studio.

Because Faye doesn’t have any friends of hers, there was a setup where she ate alone in a studio instead of a restaurant.

No matter how much I support them, that part would not have changed.

***

Smart smart

– Junior… ? Woke up! It’s unlocked, so just come in!

When I knocked on the studio door, Fei’s voice came from a decoration I hadn’t seen before.

Is it some kind of magic tool like an interphone? There seems to be a device that can control the lock remotely.

It was probably a facility prepared with the gold I sponsored the other day.

But. Now is the time to take care of security. Until now, I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have money, but it’s not anymore.

When I opened the door with a happy heart, the thick steel that had been locked up until now gave way with a squeaking sound.

After passing through the dark hallway, Fei’s workshop greeted us.

Junk and unidentified metal strewn across the floor. And even potions that glow with suspicious fluorescent light.

The unorganized appearance and the dark atmosphere are the same as we saw before.

But something has changed.

Unusual-looking ingredients neatly arranged on the shelf, a cauldron with a sophisticated design.

Besides that, there were a lot of strange equipment that I had never seen before, and above all, there was no bad smell.

He must have installed a deodorant magic tool somewhere.

Realizing this belatedly, Carla breathed in the breath she had been holding in and relaxed her tense expression.

“Whoa… The mess remains the same, but it has changed a lot!”

“It should be. How much gold did I sponsor?”

Because there was a little misunderstanding, there was talk of up to 1000 gold per month… After the misunderstanding was resolved, the donation was adjusted again.

Still, it was 500 gold per month, which was much more than the 300 gold initially suggested.

Sensing our presence, Faye, who was fiddling with something like a test tube, carefully fixed what she was holding to the stand and came toward us.

“Oh, tea. Yap.”

Because of the clutter on the floor, I jumped up and down on my tiptoes.

A heavy feeling that shakes every time it happens. It was a violent chest that could be clearly seen even through the puffy study uniform.

Even Carla was looking at the scene with her blank expression, she said everything.

Indeed, Faye must have completely let go of her guard against us, she just put on a happy expression.

“Wow, are you here? Wait a minute. I made something good for the body for my junior. Let’s see… It must be around here….”

Fei crouched down and rummaged on the floor.

Soon after, he found a potion bottle dripping with purple liquid and reached out his hand.

“Uh? Uhh… ?”

Her huge breasts blocked her between her knees and torso, so she couldn’t lean properly.

Besides, isn’t Fay a full-fledged half-dwarf?

Even her arms are short, so even with a potion bottle in front of her eyes, she only fluttered.

Oh my gosh. Is that possible?

Both Karl and I looked down at Fay with a shocked expression, but Faye calmly changed her stance, got on her four feet, and grabbed the potion bottle.

And the moment I was about to get up again.

“Ah.”

Faye, who met my gaze, began to shrink abruptly.

Fey handed over the potion with a crouching attitude, as if she finally realized how she looked.

“This, this… Drink right away. It’s good for your body….”

“Oh, yes. But why do you say that this is good for the body?”

“Yes? It’s just good for you… ? How do I explain this… ?”

Faye stammered to explain something, but she couldn’t quite understand it like she had the last time.

Because I can’t explain it too much.

Still, according to what I understood roughly, this seems to be a kind of nourishing tonic.

The purple color is a bit embarrassing, but… Should I eat and die?

I opened the lid and drank at once, a familiar notification sound in my ears.

Tring!

【You drank a potion that hasn’t been named yet.】

【Resilience increases by 150% for 24 hours.】

【I think I will be healthy if I wear long clothes.】

“What is this… ?”

It’s not at the level of a nourishing tonic, it’s just a buff potion?

The effect itself is weak, but the duration is insane.

“Uh, how… ? Aren’t you just getting stronger?”

“Yes. I’m a little cheered up. Thank you, senior.”

Hehe… You know how surprised I was when I heard the news that my junior almost died… ? I wondered if the best supporter would disappear like this….”

“So you came to reassure me as soon as I got better.”

Saying that while shrugging her shoulders, Fei let out a sigh of relief.

“Sit down and rest for now. I’ll just finish what I’m doing and go right away. It just takes a while.”

“Please.”

She waited for a while while flirting with Carla, and soon returned with the test tube Fay had been fiddling with.

“Senior? That….”

“Eh, this? That’s right!”

As if she was happy that I had asked her, Fei kept explaining something.

However, this time the conversation was cut off before it got too long, and she nodded her head with a confident expression.

“Better to show me once than to explain a hundred times! Take a good look.”

Faye said and pulled out a loaf of her bread.

Dark brown rough surface. It looks like hard black bread, especially cheap bread with extremely low wheat content, as it doesn’t hold at all in Faye’s hand.

“If you do it like this….”

Faye sprinkles the contents of the test tube on it. The pink liquid did not flow down and was absorbed into the black bread.

The reaction was instantaneous.

Black bread, which seemed like it could be used as a weapon or substitute for bricks, quickly became soft enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Faye held out the black bread with a pleased expression.

“Voila! Hard black bread becomes so soft!”

Then he took a big bite, until he showed a cross section that turned pink.

“Mum mum… Also, the reagent from earlier is strawberry flavor, so there is no need to apply jam!”

“Huh. This is definitely great.”

“Gulp… Is not it?! The ingredients are cheap and you can make a lot of them. Thanks to that, you don’t have to soak hard bread in water!”

The look of being overly proud. Feeling a little uncomfortable there, I asked softly.

“Okay. By the way, what did you have for lunch today?”

“Are you eating right now?”

“… What about the gold I sponsored?”

“I spent all my money buying new alchemy tools and the ingredients I wanted to buy! … For a moment. What’s wrong with your expression, junior?”

“…….”

I sponsored 500 gold, but wouldn’t everyone be serious if I couldn’t eat properly?

Of course, if you start selling this delicious black bread potion properly, it will make a lot of money… Still, this is not it.

“Come here, senior.”

“Why, why, junior? I’m about to get scared….”

“Write! Hurry up and tell me where you spent the 500 gold I gave you!”

“Hey! They said they didn’t appreciate the finances! He said no!”

“I’m going to do it from today, so don’t run away and come here obediently!”

Floundering on her limbs, he caught Fay by the ankles as she tried to escape and lifted her upside down.

It was white.
