Chapter 94 – Oh? (2)

Even if there is a way of thinking that anything is good, as long as it can smother a cultist behind it.

It was obviously Iona’s good will that she took a week off from school for a ridiculous reason to buy Elisha.

How to properly repay a favor.

Rather than putting it off until tomorrow, I should report it before going to the dormitory even if I’m a little tired.

For that reason, Iona’s lab arrived.

“Have you come? It came sooner than expected!”

Iona, who was rolling around in pajamas, welcomed us.

Even in a large coffin.

“… You look very comfortable.”

“You care? Huh? Do you care that much about Professor Lee’s defenseless appearance?”

“Defenseless? Where are you going?”

Even if she said such things while wearing clothes that were too baggy to hide all of the vampire’s explosive body….

I just feel like it’s cute overall.

It’s probably trying to disperse the effect of the racial special charm as much as possible.

“Rather than that, wasn’t this a research lab? Are you living here?”

“Please, please. I also have a house, so I usually live there. It was just because a little special item came in today. Yes.”

Lee Oh-na nodded her head while laughing alone.

Special stuff?

After hearing her words, Iona took a closer look at her coffin.

It is not an ordinary coffin, but there are various lines connected in all directions.

Judging from the faint glow of magical power, it seems that he is conducting some kind of experiment with that coffin.

Maybe those pajamas were worn because I needed them?

… You could just wear it because it’s comfortable.

Since my usual behavior was so unusual, I thought that it might be so without my knowledge.

While I’m in trouble for a while.

“Yap!”

Iona, who lifted her upper body with only her back strength, without using her hands, smiled at Elisha, who was standing stiffly behind her.

“Did you really buy Elisha? Wasn’t it very expensive?”

“It was a fairly manageable amount.”

In her calmness, Iona shrugged her shoulders and clapped her hands.

“I’m glad! Thank god! By the way, Elisha?”

“Yes Yes?”

Elisha crouching down on her neck with her imprint engraved on it, perhaps a little awkward facing Iona as a slave rather than a student.

However, Iona didn’t care about Elisha’s reaction and she continued talking as usual.

“Unlike Carla, you still have a lot to learn at this academy, right? Other professors don’t know, but I don’t care, so if you have any questions, it’s okay to come by yourself!”

“Professor… !”

Elisha’s eyes twinkled with a slightly moved expression.

After that, she had a little small talk, and by the time she parted, she even received a brief summary of the week’s class.

Oh my gosh.

Even with Karla and Elisha, I was determined that it would be a bit difficult to bridge the gap of a week.

“To prepare for this… “

“Hi-Hi. After all, am I the only one? Well then. You must know what Yandel students have to do, right?”

“Sure. I will continue to kill every cultist in sight!”

“Good good! That’s right! I am a professor who is ready to show favoritism to any student!”

Lee Oh-na, who giggles and shows her willingness to take care of any amount of convenience if she continues to contribute.

Mum. You are a true professor.

After parting with each other smiling suspiciously like that.

Now I’m on my way to the dormitory to really rest.

“Ugh… !”

I ran into a girl I had never seen before.

Judging by the fact that he was holding a sandwich, he must have come out to buy some snacks after school.

I waited to see if I had something to say as they looked at me, Carla, and Elisha in turn, standing still.

Took.

He even dropped the sandwich he had only taken a bite of and ran away.

What.

***

The next morning.

After a good night’s sleep, I felt refreshed and prepared for school.

Although Elisha hesitated a bit, she still managed to get out of the dorm in no time.

Male voice

“See over there? I guess the rumors about Miss Elisha returning to the academy were true.”
“A. What about Miss Elisha? You are just a slave now.”
“It is, but… Isn’t there some kind of curse hanging on the head of the Faculty of Magic? How can two already….”

The students all look this way and gossip.

This feeling of being focused on wherever you go… Long time no see.

I expected it, but the reaction was stronger than expected.

Apparently, rumors about her spread quickly through the girl she briefly met yesterday.

“Elisha. Everyone seems interested in you?”

“Please… Please be quiet, Yandel! I know too!”

A clear slave mark on the nape of the neck. And Elisha, who was wearing a maid’s uniform, not the school uniform she always wore, blushed her face.

It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of stare, so I can’t help but be a little embarrassed.

But did she say what she had already been preparing for?

Shortly thereafter, Elisha’s posture began to change.

The way she walked beside me gracefully, with her bent back straight, her head held high proudly.

In an instant, a sense of nobility that could not be hidden with just the servant’s uniform and the engraving of a slave came out.

Even if she became a slave, she seems to insist with her entire body that she is still Elisha Sylvan Glenciel.

At this point, the buzzing around them subsided a bit, and everyone stared blankly at Elisha.

An innate elegance that even Karla could not hide from time to time.

As she looked at it, she suddenly had a question, and she whispered to Carla in a small whisper.

“Carla Carla.”

“Your master. This is the owner’s Carla. What are you doing?”

“Come to think of it, aren’t you more used to that kind of look?”

“Well… I guess so? I have lived my whole life as an aristocrat.”

Of course, most of that time would have been erased by slave education. However.

“I don’t want to say anything about you having a stiff head, so it’s okay to act comfortably.”

“Huh… Thank you for being considerate, master. But now that I’m here, I’m not too uncomfortable, so it’s okay. More than anything….”

“More than anything?”

Carla looked at me tilting her head and raised the corners of her mouth playfully.

“Your past appearance overlaps with Elisha, right? I want to become an irreplaceable slave to my master.”

“…….”

Such a yooh hopeless.

As she suppressed her urge to pet Karla all over the place right now, she heard Elisha’s bewildered voice next to her.

“Carla, you… Is there really no such thing as shame?”

“I did worse things with my master, but now I feel ashamed… Yep!”

“Why are you bringing up that story in a place like this?! Be quiet!”

Elisha hurriedly blocks Karla’s mouth. The elegance and composure of a moment ago had long since disappeared.

Maybe I lost steam because they seemed to be getting along better than I thought.

The closer I went to the class A classroom, the more lukewarm the gaze around me became.

It’s not what I was aiming for, but I’m glad I did.

It took a moment to sweep her heart into her.

Are people somehow creatures that create something interesting?

The attention that had been directed to Elisha began to turn toward me this time.

“But who is that man? Aren’t you a commoner?”
“Idiot! That’s the Yandel! The freshman who defeated Edmerek!”
“Aha? But, aside from his ability, it’s true that he’s a commoner. How the hell did you buy it? Elves are expensive.”
“… It’s a secret. Is that what my uncle heard from the last time he was at the Geff auction?”

In the end, even the stories I heard from relatives who had been to the auction house began to circulate.

Sweep the auction house. Purchase the Elf Slave Set. 100,000 gold instant cash transactions and more.

Was this unexpectedly more interesting than Elisha’s flat appearance?

People who had been quiet began to burn hot again with my story.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but why do academy students like rumors so much?”

“It’s because there isn’t much to enjoy. Except for weekends, everyone lives in a dormitory, right? You naturally focus on rumors inside the academy.”

“Write….”

If you say that, I understand again.

“Come to think of it, Elisha, you must have been like this too.”

“Oh? Do you understand now what ill repute I have brought in for you? Because of that, I became a slave like this.”

“So you bought it properly and took responsibility? Rather, do you have any advice on what to do in this situation?”

I knew Elisha would get into gossip, but I never thought that I would become the target of gossip.

If necessary, I can take any degree of damage to my reputation, but… Isn’t that the case now?

“Um… After all, it would be best to shoot and press with your skills in this case.”

“It is as Elisha said. If you think about it, Master is taking a class for the first time since the dungeon practice, right?”

“In other words, even if I’ve heard of your performance, I’m saying that unless you’re a student from Class A who has fought together, you won’t know your real skills.”

“If you look carefully, all the people talking over there are faces you haven’t seen before, right? If you listen closely to the contents, they are simply interesting stories.”

“Yandel, if you clearly show how great a wizard you are and what position you will rise to in the future, everyone will be quiet.”

“It was the same when Elisha was in good health, right? There was a bit of gossip about it, but no one said it openly.”

“Of course, never put up with someone who insults you openly. It has to do with honor.”

Carla and Elisha continue the conversation by giving and receiving alternately.

Are you both used to this? A solution is popping up.

Roughly summed up, there doesn’t seem to be any immediate response, so let’s just shut up naturally.

However, those who cross the line, just run into them.

Is it this much?

Do your best in the work in front of you. What a simple solution.

… So it was unexpected.

How vehement the rumors get, how widespread they get, until they go away on their own.
