Chapter 181: 181 Third: Dormitory after a long time

It's already been three months since the school I built started .

I was working on the mass production of my master's shield and armor, and the time has flown by.

The mass production of the shield has started and the mass production of the armor will be ready in another three months.

Do you think I need six months to learn the process?　But the employees at the magician's factory are even better than I thought they would be, which is a relief.

And the school, which started last month, is going well so far.

Camilla has told me that everyone is enthusiastic and very helpful.

Well, it's only been three months, after all. It'll be a little while longer before anything goes wrong.

Let's just hope they all graduate.

"Leo!　Aren't you ready?　I'd better get going or I won't be able to finish cleaning up my dorm today!

Oh, I'm sorry. I have to go!

Yeah. Today I'll start living in the dorms again.

It's been almost two years, but we finally finished repairing the school that was blown up, and tomorrow's school day begins again.

After almost no schooling, we're in the sixth grade, the highest grade.

By the way, the seniors had to apply to witchcraft school on their own instead of going to school.

I guess the seniors didn't get any recommendations and it must have been hard work~~.

With that kind of speculation, I left the room.

"It's late. You guys ready to go?

No, there's nothing to prepare for: .......

I didn't think I'd be able to say such a thing to a grumpy Shelly after being waited on, so I just fooled her.

"Uh-huh. Are you two done?

Yes. I put it in here.

After saying that, Leena showed me a bag of magic items that can hold a lot of things.

This is the reward I gave her for attacking the dungeon.

I also give out other magic items such as wannabe terrace number two, which is useful for attacking dungeons, as a reward every time I hit a level.

Sherry and the others have reached the eighth floor and the knights have reached the fifth.

After my sister came back, my pace slowed down a bit, but my knights are catching up.

Maybe the knights will overtake Sherry and her friends while I'm at school.

I mean, we're continuing to grow in strength month after month, and I'm hoping we'll win soon.

"Leo?

Oops. All right, let's go. Hold on to all three of you.

I shouldn't have done that. I can't stop thinking about it. I made Sherry and the others wait and I shouldn't make them even crankier.

I shifted in my haste.

"Great. Here we are. So, I'll see you in class tomorrow.

'Is it because we've lived together for over a year ......?　I kind of feel like I'm just going to miss you until tomorrow.

Yeah. I was just saying to myself that I was feeling a little lonely.

I'll see you tomorrow, but it feels like a long time.

'Yeah. ....... Hey, why don't you go to Leo's room at night when you're done cleaning up?

It's okay.　No one's going to be mad at us. But maybe they'll be in Frank's room, so just make sure you tell them when you're done cleaning up.

Normally, it wouldn't be a good idea for a girl to be in the boys' dormitory, but me and Shelly and the others are well known for our relationship, and after all, no one can be mad at Shelly, the princess, so...

Well, with my transition, I can move around undetected, so there's nothing to worry about...

"Okay. Okay. Okay. Leena, let's hurry up and finish cleaning up!

'Yes!　Leo-kun, please wait for me!

When they regained some energy, they rushed to their room.

"Bell, let's head up to our room.

Yes. It's been a long time since we've been alone together.

You haven't been in the Forest of Evil since... Have you been in the Devil's Forest since?

We didn't have time to be alone for another year .

Up until dormitory life, we always lived alone together.

I know. To be honest, I missed you.

I know it's bad, but it's not like it's just the two of you with Shelly and Leena around: .......

Besides, it's not like Belle wasn't home because she was trying out the dungeon with Sherry and the others .

'More importantly, I was just wondering: ....... Belle, you're still the maid, right?

I was wondering the other day when my mom got mad at me, how is Belle being treated now?

Yes. I'm still the maid.

'May I ask why?　Didn't the maids have to quit?

That's easy. I can't take care of Master Leo in the dorms if I'm not his personal maid. If I stop being a maid, I lose my unique privileges. I won't let anyone else take this job.

Oh no, of course not. Don't look at me like that .......

"Nah, I see. ....... Well, I'd appreciate it if Belle would wake me up too. So you're going to quit being a maid after your dorm life is over then?

Belle is surprisingly loyal to her own desires.

The collection in Belle's room is a good example: ...... Oops, you can't go any further.

I'm sure you're right. However, I will continue to take care of Leo-sama for years to come, okay?

Uh-huh. A very long time.

I felt a glare, and I turned away from the bell in a panic.

Come to think of it, my clothes are still on ......, so they're no good.

'Su, long live ......'

Apparently, Belle is having a hard time with that.

Don't be embarrassed by those words, not after what you said about always being there.

That's really cute.

Okay. Let's just finish up and relax.

When I say ......, I'm just replenishing my new clothes, especially since I'm not taking them out of this room.

I hadn't been back in my room in a long time, and I was pulling clothes out of my backpack and onto my desk.

About a week's worth of clothes.

I can get to and from the castle easily, so I haven't brought that much stuff with me .......

''I'll put the clothes away on my end. Leo-sama should rest.

'Me too ...... No, yeah . I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to get in the way of that, please.

I don't know where it's stored and other details, so it will be faster if you leave it to Belle, who is used to it.

''Don't worry, it won't take long to do this.

Bing bong!

'Oh?　Who are you?　I'll get it. Bell, get dressed.

Okay. Yes, please.

Who the hell is coming?

Oh, come on. Frank and Hermann.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a line of familiar faces.

Come to think of it, Frank was in the next room, so I wondered if he'd notice me coming back.

It's good to see you.

Long time no see!

"Frank, long time. Long time no see Herman?　You've been working in my territory for years, haven't you?　I mean, could you really run to school?

Actually, Hermann . He could have been at school in a flash if he'd transferred with me, and yet he left the castle a few days ago, running to train.

That's the ultimate in stoicism.

"Yes, sir. I arrived the day before yesterday at noon.

Yeah. How's Frank doing?

Let's leave the energetic Hermann alone and listen to Frank for the first time in years.

What was Frank doing during his long holiday?

It's okay. ......

So-so?　You're not that energetic?

What's going on?

Sort of. ......

You sound like you need some help with that lame response: ......

Okay. It's not a good time to talk about it here, so why don't we talk in my office?

I think he's in serious trouble, and as a best friend, I need to talk to him about it.

I pulled Frank into the room.

'Are you sure?　Master, you just got back, right?

Yeah . I just came to meet you and ask you to come to my room later.

You need to get a grip on yourself. We've been through dungeons together, haven't we?

I'm fine. I'm not doing anything, and I'm free. Look, I was just about to come over to Frank and his friends. Oh, here we go. Here we go.

Yeah, well, you can go to ......

Sorry to disturb you!

So what?　Why isn't Frank well?

You were home for the holidays, weren't you?

Did your parents do something to upset you?

Oh, did he get pissed off at you for not going to the dungeon with me?

If that's the case, you've done a bad job: .......

Hey. What does it feel like to like someone?

...... hmm?

I'm sorry. I didn't catch that. Can you say that again?

So what does it feel like to love someone?

Apparently, I heard wrong about .......

What's up with you all of a sudden?　Did you find someone you like?

Spring has finally come to Frank!

No, ...... it's not like that.

d*mn. That's a shame.

I thought I'd get to see Frank in a rare moment of temper tantrums, but...

So what's up with you?

For the past year and months ...... I've been back in the territory.

Yeah. So, what's going on at home?

I knew it. What did your parents say to you?

You know I'm ...... the next head of the family, right?

Yes. ......

Frank is the second son, but he couldn't be head of the family because of his brother's bad behavior.

Father said I'd have to have at least one fiancée to be the next head of the family. Dad said I'd have to have a fiancée or something.

Your fiancé. .......

'Yeah. Really?　Well, is that true when you're the next head of the family?　My brother Alex was engaged to Fiona when he was about our age, and I heard he was engaged to Fiona when he was about our age: ......

They've been friends since primary school.

It's nice to know that you've been devoted to each other since you were little.

I'm still in elementary school too, so I guess that's the same. No, I'm not sure if that's the same.

"No, Dad, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get a partner. ....... I don't think he wants his brother to take over.

Can you prepare a partner?　No, it's more like .

." "Is it really that bad that your parents hate you so much that you're a problem child ......?

Isn't the son of a dumb aristocrat usually the result of a lax parent?

If you were able to think that far ahead, why did you let it go until you were in trouble?

Shouldn't the eldest son of your own family be a problem, and shouldn't he be a duke?

I don't know, I've been banned from seeing him for years now . I was originally a little disliked among the ...... nobility because of my bad behavior. But at first my father let me go because I was the oldest son. But when he was in primary school, he did something that made his father very angry.

I knew he was spoiled.

But something was done by Frank's brother that was too much and he couldn't do it to the head of the family: .......

'What did you do to him?'

'Well?　I'm too scared to ask. Even though there's a lot of tension in the house over who's going to be the head of the house, me or your brother.

Huh?　Is the Baudelaire family in that situation?

The head of the family made the decision, and yet people are still pushing for the brother?

If that's the case, Frank would have a hard time staying home: .......

I certainly don't want to hear it under those circumstances. All right. So I'll ask my brothers. You used to be around Frank's brother's age, right?

I think it was ...... yeah. Maybe he was the same age as Leo's oldest brother.

Brother Ivan. Okay. I'm sure Brother Ivan will have plenty of opportunities to meet you.

Brother Ivan often comes to the territory for meetings in the run-up to the war or something, so I'll ask him about it at the next meeting.

''I'll look after you. ....... I'm the only one at home who doesn't know what's going on. ......

I don't know. Seeing the look on Frank's face, I felt sorry for him.

Good thing my brothers are so nice and good at what they do.

Okay, well, let's see what your brother Ivan has to say first: ......?　Come to think of it, we were talking about likes, weren't we?

Oh, by the way, how did we get to talk about Frank's brother?

'Yes. . We went from talking about liking each other to talking about my fiancé, and then we got to talking about Frank's house.

Hermann cleared up all my doubts right away.

Yeah. That's right. It was about liking ...... Hermann, answer for me.

Me!　Why?　My mentor has a lot of experience in this area: ......

Don't talk about experience.

It's nothing. Tell me about true love. Huh?

I'm not a consistent person, you know.

"Hmm?　Could it be that ...... helmsman has a counterpart at ......?

Why?　Does my master know about my relationship with Alma!

Oh, I was right.

From what Barus said, I was thinking it was suspicious.

So you were already together.

"Sickled: ......

'Alma is ...... that knight of Leo?'

Yeah. You remember it well.

We only saw Frank for a little while during his induction exam, didn't we?

It's true. Anyone who saw the tryouts will remember them.

Well, I'm sure that's true. So, Hermann, tell me more about what happened with Alma.

This information is something I need to know as an employer.

It's not like I'm curious or anything, okay?

'Ugh ...... it's no big deal?'

Don't worry about it.

Don't be shy. We're you and me, right?

Come on, come on.

'All right, I get it: ....... You know that Alma and I used to compete every day, right?

'Yeah. . there's a hell of a lot of draws, right?

I don't know what kind of draws we've had in the last two years or so .

''Yes . After the ...... game was over, we used to have a long talk after the ...... game, which we called a review meeting. It was fun and ...... I found myself falling in love with it.

Huh?　That's it?　No, I'm not supposed to say that.

'Oh, yeah ...... something, didn't you two go through any difficulties together or something?　For example, we could take on a dungeon I built, just the two of us.

You have at least one episode where you fell in love with him in the suspension bridge effect, like Ivan's brother and Eunice, or something like that.

''No. . Now that I've grown up, I won't do something so reckless as to challenge Master's dungeon with just the two of us, will I?

If you ask me, that's what I mean: ....... I knew I missed the difficulty setting, didn't I?

Yeah, you're right: ...... Sorry.

Yeah, I thought there would be more dramatic drama.

I didn't expect to be interrupted by a dungeon of my own making.

Oh, don't apologize!　Yeah, right!　The Master wanted me and Alma to traverse the dungeon alone, right?　I wasn't even aware of that: ......

'No, no. ......'

That's not what I'm saying.

All right. I'll tackle the dungeon with Alma as soon as I get back. It may take some time, but I'm sure we'll move through it. You're on it!

Umm, yeah, ...... I'll look forward to it.

Well, if you're willing to challenge me, something might happen, okay .

'I'd love to hear more about how Leo built the dungeon ......, but can you tell me a little more about Hermann's story?　S-So, how did you communicate that ...... favorite thought?　You confessed ......, didn't you?

What is this naive boy?

Aren't you supposed to be a little cooler?

I'm not going to listen to you with a reddish face, that's just creepy.

"Well, well, ...... in the course of the conversation, we talked about how Master has many wives, and I told Alma about the story of his wives and how he had a lot of them I was.

'Mrs. Ta(t) or ...... that's a story that's going to be very long.'

It's not your wife yet, and don't bother emphasizing the 'we' ...... Sure, it's going to be a long one, but .

''Yes . Well, that day was the first time in a long time that the Knights had finished practicing in the morning, so we were able to talk for that long.

You really were together the whole time.

That's what Vals says when he tells me he's hot.

Yeah. So, what happened after you and Leo had a nice talk about your wife?

Alma said ...... I wish I could marry someone as strong as my mentor. ......

Oh, okay. So you were in a hurry to confess that you thought Leo was going to take you, right?

Huh?　Was I supposed to do that?

Sure, you might have a lot of wives, but you're not a scrappy man who's going to mess with ...... people's women.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was: ......

Huh?　Seriously?　I didn't have that much faith in you?

What a shock. .......

''Of course . It's not that my master is terrible or anything . It's just that my master is stronger than me. ....... I can't help but let my master take me away from him.

If you want to say it's not terrible, don't say it's taken!

I was pretty banged up.

Oh, I don't think love has anything to do with physical strength or strength. I know.

Yeah. 　After all, you have to play it by how much you like that person.

Is that right?　It's helpful.

Ho, are you really going to reference that?

Your eyes are hostile!

So what's up with Hermann after hearing Alma's words?

I ...... am sure that no matter how hard I try to beat my master, I will never be able to win. That's why I told ...... Alma that I was going to tell her. Right now, I'm even with Alma, but ...... he asked me to marry him one day if I could win three in a row against you.

Huw~

So cool!　That's my protégé!

'So what did he say back to you?

I was surprised at first, but after a short pause ...... he said, "If you can do it, do it.

'What's that ...... response is too cool too.'

Totally, you two are a good match.

But it's three wins in a row: ...... Well, I guess Hermann can do it.

(Leo?　Can you come get me?　(I'm done cleaning up.)

Hmm?　Sherry.

(Is it over already?　I'm coming. I'm coming.

I'm sorry. I'm going to go get you both.

It would have been nice, but I promised I wouldn't have to.

I apologized to them and went to get Sherry and the others.
