After following Beatrice a short distance, we saw her go into a nondescript entrance in the walls. I gestured for Bergis to go in and immediately entered.
“Be~a~trice~”
Pushing the door open, my voice had barely left me when I saw a figure climbing out through a window!
Oh my god. Isn’t this building built into the wall? Why is there a window on the other side?
“I’ll catch up to them~”
Bergis patted me on the shoulder and disappeared.
“O……Ok.”
At this point I have no choice. It’s not like I’m good at chasing people.
But that’s when I noticed there was a male elf in the room watching us with curiosity.
I went over and asked.
“Hello, are you Michua?”
“You’re looking for my sister too? Sorry, my sister went out this morning to get a consultation. I think she should be back soon?”
“Is that so? Then I’ll just wait here.”
Although we were here to find Beatrice, it might help to have a bit of understanding of her arm.
“Say, is there something between you and big sis Beatrice?I saw her run away the moment you called her name.”
“Ah, it’s nothing. It’s just that I’m her teacher. Beatrice hasn’t come to class for a long time so I had come to personally see her.”
“That’s……”
“Ahahahahah. I told you, I said that sooner or later her teacher would come to the door looking for her.”
While we had been talking, the door to the room had suddenly opened. A tall elf in a nurse’s outfit came in, saw me and smiled.
“You’re Beatrice’s teacher, aren’t you? Hahaha. It seems that I’ve won. Beatrice and I had made a bet that her teacher would never care about her, it seems that wasn’t the case.”
The elf was Michua. Just like Fir had said, she seemed to be a very excitable elf.
“Hello, I’m Mary, Beatrice’s teacher. As well as……I think you should remember Fir. He’s also her teacher.”
“Fir……ah, that guy. It’s almost been a month since he last left……well, maybe. It’s easy to lose track of time down here. I didn’t expect that guy would become a teacher. Also, isn’t Beatrice studying at the Imperial College? Does that mean that Fir is a teacher there?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting. If it wasn’t necessary for me to run this store then I’d love to find a job at the Imperial College. Well, don’t misunderstand me. I just think that it’s dangerous to be a black market doctor. If a customer wants to kill me, what can I do as a feeble woman?”
I think that you would be able to knock out your opponent by hitting them on their weak point at any time. The hell are you going on about.
“Yo.”
Just as we had finished talking, a crack appeared in the air. A smiling Bergis walked out of it, dragging a black box behind her.
“You’re……”
“Caught someone~”
When Bergis said that she snapped her fingers, Beatrice fell out of the box and on to the floor.
“That hurt……can’t you drop someone lightly!”
“If you hadn’t run away in the first place then you wouldn’t have been dropped, now would you?”
“Come on, tell me. Why do you want to skip class? Others have their own problems, so don’t tell me that it was just because you didn’t want to come in.”
“I……”
Beatrice looked at me and said, rather embarrassedly.
“It’s because……my father……”
“Well, another family dispute, is it? That doesn’t matter. We’ve already killed Melody’s dad, another one or two is fine.”
“No, no, no. It isn’t that my father is a bad person, but that the cost of my arm makes it impossible for me to face him. So I ran out while calling it exercise and maintained my arm by completing some more profitable tasks……of course I am getting stronger too so it’s a two-for-one sort of thing.”
“……”
I stared at her. I didn’t know how to describe her expression.
“You’ve had me looking for you for so long because of such a strange reason?”
“Anyways! You go to school to improve your abilities, right? I’m just……”
“I see. Well, I’m not going to interfere with your choices. But don’t you want to earn some more money by reporting to the school by the end of the week? Our school is having an event to hunt for treasure and it’s certainly going to be a lot of money so you should come.”
“Treasure……is it.”
I was relieved to see Beatrice’s eyes light up when she heard it.
It looks like she’s easier to convince compared to others. Things would have been troublesome otherwise.
“What treasure!”
Asa a result, it wasn’t just Beatrice that was interested. Michua’s stared at me from the side with a green light in her eyes, making me feel like a pile of money.
“Ehem……”
She noticed this and became embarrassed. Coughing with a red faced, asked.
“I was just curious……”
Why do I get the feeling that you aren’t just curious? Ah, forget it. In the future, Beatrice might need fixes so she might need her to come.
“Someone saw a dragon come down over there.”
“Dragon……”
MIchua’s eyes instantly let out a green burst of light! Walking over to Julian, she spoke with a smile.
“Brother, big sister is going to be out for a few days. Watch over the house for a little bit~”
“Eh? What if there are guests?”
“Let them wait~”
“That’s……”
Julian said somewhat quietly.
“I’ll be lonely if big sis isn’t here with me.”
“……”
Michua hugged Julian.
“I’m sorry~ I’m a bad sister. Let’s go together~”
“Un~”
I gripped my sides.
This is a dog’s day. With a brother and sister openly showing their love, the day isn’t going to end.
