Chapter 37: 36

Spring almost comes to an end. 

 

The flower that was in full bloom once withered, and a new flower bloomed.

 

The various flowers that bloom sequentially are fragrant just by looking at them, but even that is not long.

 

It is the time of year when you can walk around campus and see more green than flowers.

 

It meant that summer was getting closer, but before that, there was the Estero Academy Festival.

 

The pounding, hammering sound rang out. 

 

The entire academy was buzzing with students setting up the stalls prepared by clubs and departments and the student council decorating the overall landscaping. 

 

It was the first time since I became possessed that the academy was so noisy even after school.

 

I looked around, looking at the scenery which fit the word “youth.”

 

The scenery on the day of the festival is already bright in front of my eyes. 

 

On that day, many decorations will float in the sky using magic. 

 

My heart beats when I think of a festival full of things to see, play, and eat.  

 

“Oi~! Theo!”

 

“What is it? It’s Ethan.”

 

I turned around because someone called me and saw Ethan running with his school uniform arms rolled up.

 

As if he had been working, his silver hair, which was drenched in sweat, shimmered strangely as the sunlight diffused through it.

 

“Where did you go on the weekend? You weren’t in the room.” 

 

“I went out for a while. Did you come to my room?” 

 

“Yeah, it’s nothing special. I just wanted to do something during the festival. It’s fun to play together if you don’t have an appointment!” 

 

Ugh, this popular guy. 

 

The affinity of asking to play together as if nothing had happened is still admirable.

 

“I don’t really have an appointment. I’ll be walking around in moderation.”

 

“Then do you want to hang out with me in the afternoon?” 

 

“It doesn’t matter. You must be busy in the morning.”

 

“There are a lot of things to show your face here and there!”

 

As expected from the popular guy. 

 

It’s a festival after all, so it’s good to enjoy it as much as possible.

 

It’s definitely better than playing alone.

 

“More than that, where did you go on the weekend?”

 

“I went to Bayford because I wanted to eat squid.”

 

“Until there…? If it’s even Bayford, isn’t that where the mayor was arrested today?”

 

“Has he been arrested already?”

 

“At lunchtime, an emergency report came out. He was immediately arrested.”

 

The work was done fast and all at once. 

 

He was so quiet at the time of King of Squid—.

 

No, that’s all Liam Dunkin playing tricks.

 

“It must have been chaotic.”

 

“I don’t know because it happened after I left.”

 

“Hmm… It turns out, Theo, did you do something?” 

 

Ethan raised his voice and spoke. 

 

This kid, I thought he didn’t notice, but he’s sharper than I thought.

 

“What do you mean? What kind of tourists who went to eat squid are arresting the mayor?”

 

“Haha! That too! It’s a joke, a joke!” 

 

When I intentionally exaggerated my reaction, Ethan laughed cheerfully.

 

As expected of this guy, he doesn’t have any sense.

 

Phew. I sighed inwardly.

 

Then, a sharp look pricked the side of my face. 

 

I followed my gaze and turned my head, and Leon appeared next to me and stared at me silently.

 

The transparent and straight red gaze was heavy.

 

This kid, did he find out something?

 

If it’s Leon, there’s a good chance. 

 

The main character is likely to deviate from human standards, whether he is lucky or sharp.

 

“…Why do you look at me like that?”

 

I glanced at him.

 

Then Leon blinked slowly and answered briefly. 

 

“You two look like you’re having fun.”

 

—What’s he saying?

 

I didn’t understand and dazed for a while when Ethan appeared and put his arms over Leon’s and my shoulders.

 

The arm was placed rather roughly on the shoulder.

 

“Ahaha! When you share happiness, it multiplies. Isn’t that right, friend?”

 

What is he talking about?

 

First of all, I tried to get rid of Ethan’s thick arms… but I gave up because the strong muscles didn’t budge.

 

“Anyway, I heard you met senior Kane.”

 

As if the half-forced shoulder wasn’t uncomfortable, Leon said calmly.

 

Even though she is the older sister on the family register, is Leon still calling her senior Kane?

 

Instead of digging into that part, I nodded my head.

 

“We’re in the same club. More than that, how do you know?”

 

Instead of saying anything, Leon just smiled.

 

What is it? That smile.

 

It’s scary, you know?

 

“Did Senior Kane say anything weird?”

 

“Anything weird…”

 

I can’t say she didn’t.

 

If anything happens to Leon, please let me know.

 

I didn’t need to tell him this, so I shrugged my shoulders.

 

“I don’t know what to say because she says so many strange things.”

 

“Senior Kane tends to be like that. Still, she’s a good person.”

 

“I know. She’s your sister.”

 

“For now, yes.”

 

So he acknowledged it.

 

But he didn’t call her sister.

 

If Kane was here, he probably would have called her older sister.

 

“That’s a relief. Nothing special seems to happen.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Senior Kane… There were quite a few parts where she was overly concerned.”

 

Leon smiled bitterly.

 

Because it was Kane, all sorts of pictures were drawn in my head without saying anything.

 

“You’re going through a lot.”

 

“No. Rather, I’m indebted to her.”

 

Deng—.

 

The clock tower rang the bell.

Play

Unmute

 

At the sound of five bells, Leon raised his head and looked at the clock tower.

 

“I have an appointment, so I’m leaving.”

 

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

 

“I don’t know what the appointment is, but have fun!”

 

Leon and Ethan waved their hands respectively.

 

I was about to leave, but I remembered it belatedly and handed out the packaged half-dried King of Squid to the two of them.

 

“What’s this?”

 

“I bought it from Bayford. Share it.”

 

I definitely asked for a little bit of calamari, but the residents of Bayford gave me half-dried King of Squid with magic tools, telling me to eat it all the time.

 

It’s a lot, and I think it will take me my whole life to finish it all by myself, so I’ll have to give it to people here and there.

 

“Thank you. I will eat well.”

 

“Oh! This is so delicious! It would go well with potatoes!”

 

Ethan already eats King of Squid… but why do you want to eat it with potatoes?

There was no end to tackling like that, so I just waved my hand and parted ways this time.

I trudged up the stairs of the dormitory.

 

I left by saying I had an appointment, but it wasn’t an appointment with a person.

 

Since I went straight to the lecture room in the morning without even having time to stop by the dormitory, it is the dormitory that I came back to after 3 days. 

 

In other words, it means the bed that I came back to in 3 days.

 

I can’t break my promise with the bed.

 

I hurried up.

 

When I reached the 8th floor, I ran into Meryl on the stairs.

 

“Ah, you came just in time.”

 

“Are you talking to me?”

 

“Of course, you’re the only one here.”

 

“If anyone hears it, they’ll think you’re here to find me.”

 

Meryl nodded when I said it lightly.

 

“That’s right. To prepare for the tea ceremony festival. I came here on the weekend, but you weren’t there.”

 

“I’ve been out for a while. So the tea ceremony club is preparing something too?”

 

“Each club has to do something, whether it’s exhibiting or running something. The tea ceremony club can’t miss it. Of course, you have to participate as a tea ceremony club.”

 

Meryl put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

 

Seeing that she’s secretly blocking the road, she’s definitely going to take me and make me work.

 

Honestly, I want to enjoy the festival, but I don’t want to work—!

 

I’m trying to be a thief, but I want to enjoy it comfortably—!

 

Above all, I prevented terrorism from behind so that the festival wouldn’t be interrupted.

 

Although Louis is the only one who knows this—.

 

In short, it means I’ve worked enough.

 

It can’t be helped.

 

I don’t like showing off, but—.

 

I rummaged through the robe.

 

Let’s see, other than the semi-dried King of Squid.

 

Ah, found it.

 

“Take this.”

 

What I barely took out was a cylindrical tin case. 

 

The tin case, with a picture of a cute merry-go-round on the surface, itself looked like a considerable artifact.

 

“This…”

 

Meryl tilted her head in puzzlement at the sudden gift.

 

Her green eyes moved from side to side along the surface of the tin case.

 

“Barmuth chemomile tea, don’t tell me…?”

 

“That’s right. It is a special product of the federation that cannot be imported into the kingdom.”

 

Due to political reasons, it is not officially an import item.

 

Perhaps knowing the circumstances, Meryl held the tin case with both trembling hands. 

 

“It’s a luxurious chamomile tea with natural sweetness and a subtle scent of green apples…! Not to mention relieving insomnia and relieving tension…! How the hell did you get this…!”

 

“I went to Bayford for the weekend. I got it by chance.”

 

The market has also taken a big hit with smuggling.

 

Thanks to this, federal goods also flowed into the black market, making it easy to get them.

 

There was even information on the black market trend that the market identified.

 

Anyway, I didn’t know she would like it that much.

 

I guess it wasn’t for no reason that a merchant on the black market gave it away saying that it was something they treasured and cherished. 

 

“It’s so precious… Did you bring it for the festival?”

 

“I didn’t really think of that. That, you know, it would be a problem if it was exposed to the outside world.”

 

“If we say we subdivided and then blended it, we can pass it on. Unless you’ve enjoyed this tea before, it’s impossible to tell them apart, and even if you’ve enjoyed it, there’s no way to prove it. The tin case can also be crafted with magic to change it.”

 

“I, is that so…”

 

Strictly speaking, they are all criminal acts.

 

The quiet model student, Meryl, calmly talks about her wrongdoing.

 

Just how serious she is about tea—.

 

“I didn’t know you’d bring such a precious thing…!”

 

“I’m glad you like it. So, can I take a rest today? I’m pretty tired from going to Bayford over the weekend.”

 

“Ah, you certainly don’t look well.”

 

It will definitely be bad.

 

Besides the nap in the carriage, I’ve been up all night for almost 4 days.

 

My body is slowly reaching its limit, no matter how healthy it is.

 

Everything is done and I want to go to bed.

 

I just want to sleep, forget about the bed, comfortable sleep, and time.

 

When I massaged the stiffened eyes with my hands, Meryl embraced barmuth chemomile tea’s tin case and nodded.

 

“I can’t force you to work when you’re tired aftet getting such good tea leaves…! I and the club head will finish the booth, so take a good rest today!”

 

“Yeah, thank you.”

 

“That’s what I should say!”

 

Meryl, who was about three octaves more excited than usual, walked lightly down the stairs.

 

The reaction alone is like a child who received a gift on Christmas.

 

How can you be so happy for a tea?

 

To be honest, I’m rather envious of being able to love something so innocently and desperately.

 

“Next time I see another rare tea leaf, I’ll have to get it for you.”

 

There is nothing wrong with the Barmuth chemomile tea itself.

 

It used to be hard to get the tea because it was so rare, but recently, as the political conflict between the Kingdom of Tekat and the Karmut Federation got worse, it was decided that all imports would be banned.

 

There are several kinds of tea leaves that are in similar circumstances, so if I find them, I should get them.

 

It’s not too hard to get tea leaves.

 

It was only after I part ways with Meryl that I finally returned to my dorm room.

 

When the dormitory opened in three days, it was Shincheonji. (T/n : I’m not sure what is Shicheonji but what I found is church ;;)

 

“Whoo…”

 

I couldn’t believe it was my dorm.

 

All the books that were supposed to be on the bookshelf were moved onto the bed.

 

Small dolls, toys, and feed bowls were visible between the books piled round like a castle wall or a snow house.

 

In the center, there was a sofa made of piles of books and cushions.

 

Choco was sitting comfortably on the sofa.

 

It sat with its back leaning against a book and ate feed like a cookie with its belly exposed—and our eyes met.

 

Choco, who jumped up, ran on two feet.

 

I don’t know if he’s a raccoon or a koala, seeing as it clings to my leg.

 

I reached down and grabbed it, and then, when I hugged it, Choco firmly dug into my arms.

 

“Looks like you’ve been well. You also eat well.”

 

Nodding.

 

I can tell just by looking at the condition of the room.

 

This kid, I think it had a great weekend while I was away—.

 

“Let’s clean up tomorrow…”

 

I couldn’t afford to move all the books to the bookshelf and even clean them.

 

For now, I just piled them all up on the desk, and threw the clothes roughly on the chair.

 

“Haa… I’m dying…”

 

I dived into the bed as it was.

 

I already took a shower because I had a basic swordsmanship class today.

 

All I have to do is close my eyes and sleep—.

 

Fatigue comes at once.

 

Choco poked its head out from under the futon as it drooped.

 

“Are you going to sleep, too?”

 

Nodding.

 

Choco naturally dug into my arms.

 

The kid who fell asleep right away didn’t seem to mind my arm being numb at all.

 

I will let it because it’s cute and I’m sleepy.

 

And we fell asleep together after a long time.
