Chapter 516 – 41. Dezac Empire – Imperial Academy (13)

“Ah, really. I don’t understand!”

After finishing the gathering mission and returning to the mage tower, Adele grumbled over and over again.

“Why are you putting yourself in danger if you don’t use what you were told to use!”

“It can’t be helped.”

Instead of arguing with him, Valdez shrugged his shoulders and defended the coachman.

“If it’s one, it’s a few months’ salary, but how can I use it?”

“Mmm.”

Money problem.

Adele groaned when I mentioned the problems that were unavoidable for the common people.

In the end, the coachman’s scream, heard at a crucial moment in the forest, came out of danger.

As for Adele, of course, she gave her the artifact, giving importance to safety, but the coachman could not bear to use it and hide it. It was thought that gathering would not end soon anyway, and that it was sufficient to hide in moderate danger.

However, Adele avoided monsters and beasts to avoid trouble.

Thanks to this, they smelled the coachman’s scent and found their prey.

‘Should I say I’m lucky or bad?’

“Ha, I’m glad though.”

“Yes?”

“If the coachman died because of me…”

“That’s because of you.”

“It’s because of me. I took the coachman.”

“It’s because he wasn’t careful. If he belonged to the Mage Tower, this wouldn’t have happened once or twice.”

“Mmm.”

Valdez’s cold words were correct, but Adele still couldn’t erase the thought that her fault her was bigger.

Still, I am grateful that even Valdés gave me such protection, but his one breast tickled. A slightly different feeling than simply being grateful. I’m afraid to even recognize the name of the emotion, but that makes my heart pound even more.

“…Hi-Hi.”

“…… ? What, all of a sudden?”

“Eh. It’s nothing!”

“It’s bland.”

Valdez chuckled and took the last of his belongings out of his bag and set them down.

“Okay, it’s done.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you. What did I do? You did everything.”

“Ah, but you acted as porters and escorts.”

“What is an escort?”

It was genuinely funny.

I’m a porter anyway.

Perhaps the enchantment on the bag was so high that even when Adele put it on, she didn’t feel much weight. Of course, it was made by the owner of the Magic Tower to give to his disciple. So it is ambiguous to call it a porter.

The same goes for escorts.

It’s a practice forest used by the academy, so there can be no strong monsters there.

Even if Adele enters the academy right away, she is a talented person who could easily win the top spot among the 7th graders, her senior year. It is safe to say that she is not in danger in the forest unless she is extremely vigilant.

In the end, all he did was prepare for the unexpected.

“Ahaha…”

Adele laughs awkwardly at Valdez’s words.

She knew it too well, so it was difficult for her to dress up any more.

“So I was sorry about something.”

“Yes?”

“I called you to go to the forest, but you couldn’t do anything.”

“Ah, what do you mean! I’m really sorry.’

“It’s okay. I’m more sorry. So let me buy you some food.”

“Uh, Bob?”

“Yeah. It’s time tonight, isn’t it? The time is just right.”

“Ah…”

Adele looked at the grinning Valdez with her eyes wide open.

For some reason, her heart is pounding.

She did eat at lunchtime, but that’s just enough to lightly satisfy her hunger in the cafeteria at the academy. She liked that it was a double room and the quality of food was high, but the atmosphere was not good for a man and a woman to eat together.

Adele restrained herself as her spirits seemed to rise.

‘You can’t get too excited!’

She may still go to some restaurant.

There may be cases where you feel excited and then disappointed by yourself.

Valdez said anxiously as Adele lowered her head in silence.

“Uh, as long as you’re busy, that’s fine.”

“Yeah, no. I’m free after this.”

“Really? Then I’m glad.”

“Yeah… Hehe.”

Actually, it’s not worth it.

Originally, she decided to be next to her teacher Natalie, who would use the materials she gathered for the experiment.

But she was going to drop out this time.

‘Oh, it’ll be fine. It’s not the first time, it’s an experiment that happens often, yes.’

It is not an important experiment, and it is not necessary to attend the experiment.

I should have told her beforehand, but for the first time she chose her encounters with the opposite sex over her magical experiments with her.

“Uh, then, are you going right now?”

“I don’t care, what are you going to do?”

“Sure…”

All sorts of thoughts run through her head in an instant.

And the result was later.

“Come later! Change your clothes first!”

“Okay. Let’s see. Then I’ll be back here in about 40 minutes.”

“Yes!”

As Valdés leaves for the palace where he is staying to prepare, Adele now struggles with how to speak to her mentor her. If it were Natalie, no matter how she spoke, she would try to stay quiet until the experiment started.

‘Ugh, that’s why the current outfit is too….’

She weighs heavily with these two in her mind, but as a woman she is, too, clothes can’t be beat.

Adele went to Natalie nervously.

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”

“Uh, yes?”

“I hear you have plans for dinner. Be careful.”

“Uh, yes… Thank you.”

But to her surprise her, Natalie obediently let her go as if she was n’t interested.

Adele was confused.

‘Did I just look at Master in a strange way?’

Adele hesitated and didn’t back down easily, so Natalie turned her head away with a small smile.

“Why, who am I meeting, where am I going?

Flinch.

“Oh. I just said it, but it looks like it was real.”

“Yes, four?! No…!”

“Ehh. As far as I’m aware… I’m curious to hear that a student is eating with someone other than the Mage Tower after a long time, but it could be.

“Hehe… Thank you, Master!”

“Yes, yes.”

Natalie shook his hand and sent the student outside.

She looked at Adele’s back as she left with a complicated expression.

“It’s naive.”

Did she really think she wouldn’t notice?

As expected, it seemed to be too lacking even if there was a lack of social experience.

She said, ‘I went out with Valdez, and suddenly he’s coming over for dinner. Then, who are you going to eat with?’

As if she did n’t know if she had another friend, her other friend her Theresia, other than her her Valdez, was going to attend her own experiment today and watch her.

Natalie was both cute and worried about her immature pupil her, Adele.

She deliberately made Valdez accompany her in order to change Adele, who had potential, rather than Theresia, who was so introverted and timid. So, she was quite happy with Adele’s change of her. Although she didn’t expect it until dinner.

“But who said we should eat first?”

As expected, Valdez would have said it, but you never know.

“Whoops. If the two of them do well, the emperor will like it.”

Adele is not a person who would ever leave the Empire.

So, being married to her means that Valdes also belongs to the Empire.

And she will come into the Ulrich family.

I think it’s pretty good, but I have a few concerns.

While Natalie was lost in her thoughts with her complex expression on her face her, the door opened and a girl entered.

“Oh. Is Tessa here?”

“Master… Hello… Please…”

“Yeah~.”

She waved her hand to another disciple.

Theresia bowed her head in greeting and looked around her.

“…… ? Master… Adele… ?”

“The child is not coming today.”

“…… ?”

She tilted her head with an incomprehensible expression and made a surprised face when she giggled.

“Adele… Are you sick… ?”

“What? Ahaha. No way.”

“Then…?”

“Adele has an appointment today.”

“Promise…?”

Theresia put on a puzzled expression.

She sincerely didn’t understand.

She loves magic as much as herself, and she does n’t come to her appointment her.

She’s not even an appointment that came before the experiment, seeing as she said she was coming the other day.

“I understand… I can’t…”

“Huh, our Tessa will understand later.”

“… With whom… The promise…?”

“He’s a man you know well.”

“Man…?”

“Yes. Valdes.”

The eyes of the 4th princess are widening.

‘What?’

Natalie was a little taken back by that incomprehensible reaction.

The easiest way to read Theresia’s emotions, which usually show little change in expression, is, of course, her eyes. And now her emotions are fluctuating greatly. She couldn’t read the inside, but Natalie’s mind her was complicated as much as she read the nursery rhyme.

‘Uh? What? Why is Theresia?’

Could it be that Theresia also has a crush on Valdes?

Such a dizzying situation would never be desired by the two teachers.

Of course, the reason Theresia was embarrassed was because of something other than her rational liking her.

‘Bar, bar, Valdes….’

Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.

The erotic scene between her older sister Wilhelmina and Valdés, which I happened to spy on a month ago.

Even now, she still does n’t fully recognize it, but her heart her still beats when she thinks of it.

Moreover, thanks to her smart mind her, she remembers every action and word of the scene very clearly, it is not difficult to recall that time. And when she remembered it, she usually naturally lowered her hand between her crotch of her.

‘Huh…. Now, no….’

“Tessa? Are you okay?”

“… Gwa, it’s okay… Ok… “

“Umm. Yes… If you feel bad, tell me anytime.”

“Yes…”

“Then it’s a bit early. Since it’s just the two of us, shall we do an experiment?”

“Yes…”

Theresia nodded her head in response to her master’s words her, but her mind her seemed to be elsewhere.

At least Natalie felt that way.
