47. Heir and Saint (7)
47. Heir and Saint (7)
The sun rose in the morning. I got up and checked my body condition. The headache has almost subsided, and the pain that used to rise up in the abdomen is no longer felt. The problem was the wound.
Even though there was no pain, it felt like the wound would open even if I worked too hard, so I chose to rest today as well.
“Irina’s unique skill… It’s poisonous because it’s directly hit.”
If it had been stabbed with an ordinary knife, it would have already been cured, but if it was stabbed with a knife that had the effect of Irina’s , Even if it was treated with the essence of magic gardening, it could not be cured. One lethal force can’t be anything other than a truly staggering skill.
I decided to take a break, but I feel uncomfortable. Saint Eldenia told her that Nishia had declared that she would run for student council president. She doesn’t care who becomes the student president, but she thinks Nishia running for office is a bit of a wait and see.
First of all, apart from the content that does not appear in the original work, Nishia is not running because she has aspirations for student council president, but she is running to keep Princess Lerisha in check.
If you’re going to do it for me, I’d rather focus on shop work and research rather than running for the student council president. The store is also a store job, but after revealing my identity to the world, when I need to make an elixir and explore the basement of the greenhouse, I have to borrow Nishia’s power. Even for that, she has to spend time for herself.
Above all, there is no chance that Nishia will beat Lerisha in the election, and Lerisha is the best student president. Because her power as student council president will be of great help to Rin and Ren in the future. I hope Nishia doesn’t waste her time in useless places because of me.
Those thoughts make me nervous even though I have to take a break.
“… I also prepared a status ailment potion, so it will be a little better, right?”
I am aware that going out now is a dangerous action. If Irina finds out that I’m alive, she will definitely try to see the end.
Even so, I can’t stay still. I came out of her conservatory fully prepared for the time I met Irina.
Today, I think I will have to go on a road where there are many people.
*
Sector 3 Market Bar, Shiza Invention Shop.
The store was dead quiet. Well, since Nishia was listening to the lecture, it was only natural. Judging that there was a higher chance of meeting her at Nisia’s studio than at her shop, I locked the door to her shop and went out to her street.
There were some shops that still had the aftermath of the undead incident, but most of them had repaired the damage and were preparing for business.
Students without lectures today. 4Th graders who chose to save money rather than lecture. And the merchants and graduate students of District 2 who got permission and opened the store. Originally, I should have been moving like that.
Earn money to repair or buy a new school uniform that was pierced by Zakat’s window. Buy wooden planks to make gardening borders. How much to invest in creating a new invention. After discussing with Nishia, it was the timing to prepare.
But. Ruined it all
“Haa… What are you thinking about?”
There is no dispute that looking to the future is more constructive than lamenting over what has happened. Even if you don’t go to class yet, you will be treated as sick, so you can make up for it from now on. As I was thinking that, I heard a soft voice beside me.
“Haam, I am really hungry. Isn’t that Worros?”
“… Eva. Since when have you been here?”
“A little while ago. Ever since you locked the store door and came out.”
“It’s quite attached.”
Eva raises her arm. Then, her sleeves slide down, revealing the fan she is holding. She covers her mouth with her fan and smiles at her eyes.
“So what happened?”
“That’s what I want to ask, Woros. What happened to you that… to see you yesterday No, when I went there to buy scented candles, there were guards guarding the store.”
“It’s a personal thing, don’t worry about it. You really don’t have to care.”
To be honest, I don’t know what kind of person Eva is. Perhaps because of her position as a hidden character in the original work, it is because she keeps everything tightly hidden. All I know about Eva is that she is the head of Shaiza’s second year. That she is a strong character with a level of balance destruction. And that she is a self-proclaimed romantic.
What does it mean to be a romantic, when Eva appears, she sets off a colorful firecracker. At night, fireflies fly to liven up the atmosphere, and in winter, snowflakes start to scatter. It is not a mere appearance effect. All of this was directed by Eva herself.
Rin or Len asks Eva about this. She just needs to come out, why does she put so much effort into appearing? To that question, she replies that Eva did not direct it herself, and when the game is over, she admits that she directed it herself, and she replies,
Because it’s romantic. Because there is romance. Yes, she was a character who bet everything on the romanticism and romance she was talking about. She is a self-styled romantic. According to users, it’s a disease of interest. That is the character of Eva.
She couldn’t decide on the effect for her appearance, or when the conditions weren’t right, she used magic to create a bright atmosphere, or sprayed perfume with magic before appearing.
Unfortunately, it is not known what kind of Eva she is carrying in the world, and why she reacts sensitively to flashy appearances. One thing is for sure, she is also carrying something, and she herself is hiding that fact from herself. Like she’s in big trouble when she’s revealed.
She’s the one who kept everything a secret even in the original work, so she won’t answer if I ask.
“Woros, I am worried. It was because Princess Lelisha was among those guards. Could it be that he didn’t bully you?”
“There is no such thing, so don’t worry.”
“Yeah, sorry for presumptuously interfering.”
At the crackling noise, I turned my head. From what I was talking about, it seemed that Eva was shaking her fan wildly within the hem of her dress.
“By the way, Eva, where are you going?”
“Huh? I have something to do here too. But I’m hungry. Is not it?”
“Yeah… ah!”
Coming to think of it, Eva in the original work always eats at a restaurant in District 2 or a market in District 3. Could it be that she can’t go to dinner because of me?
“Are you hungry?”
“Yes. Umm, I guess I’ll have to eat soon.”
“Then don’t mind me and go eat. I have something to take care of on my own—”
“Oops, when I felt it closely, I wasn’t hungry. I think I ate too much and felt sick to my stomach.”
As Eva said that, she covered her mouth with her fan and smiled at her eyes.
“Oh, by the way, did you say you saw the guards when you came to my store to buy scented candles?”
“Yes, why were there guards?”
“It’s personal, so you don’t have to worry about that. What about scented candles?”
“Very good. How did you make it?”
“It’s an industry secret. It’s good, that’s good.”
She said that when she arrived at the border between the market passage and the Forest of Quest.
“Senior Woros!”
I see Eldenia running away waving her hand. Didn’t she have a lecture?
“Hello, Senpai Woros! And… Hello, senior Eva.”
“Hello. Saintess.”
Eva and Eldenia greet each other with smiles. After greeting her, the saintess jumped up and came up to me and looked up at me.
“Saintess, what about the lecture?”
“Of course it’s free time! Were you worried about me?”
“I thought it was just a throw away… what. I guess so.”
“It’s a coincidence, by the way! I came because I had an appointment at the market, but I met Woros senior!”
Eldenia said that with a smile. Then Eva said a word.
“A while ago, I saw people from the church. It wasn’t a coincidence.
“… Is it something I don’t know?”
“Really? If so, what?”
Eva blows up her fan! After opening to make her sound, she covers her mouth. Eldenia looked up at me without paying attention to Eva.
“Senior Woros, aren’t you hungry? In fact, I was going to eat lunch! I want to have a meal with you.”
“Woros said he was very full.”
“… Really?”
At Eva’s words, Eldenia made a shocked expression. Did I mention that I’m full? To put it bluntly, I’m on the outskirts. I want to eat rice after it comes out. If I’m with Eldenia, Irina won’t be able to attack.
Most of all, she still has more time for Nishia to come out, so I think it’s okay for her to spend it leisurely.
From noble mtl dot com
“Then, shall we eat the saintess?”
“Good! As a senior in Shaiza, there is a shop run by a member of our church! Well, you just opened a store!”
“Would it be okay for the saintess to eat at the market? Oh, he is a very tall man. Isn’t that Worros?”
Asked Eva, covering her mouth with her fan. El Denia tilts her head, smiles brightly, and replies cheerfully.
“She’s a saint, but she’s a student? You can go to any restaurant run by members of our church.”
“… Are you going to Woros?”
“Yes. Eva You said you were very full, right? It’s okay if I don’t care You said you had something to do?”
“That, that… “
Eva spreads her fan, covering her entire face. She thought for a moment, then, after folding her fan, she smiled.
“Come to think of it, I’m pretty hungry. I think I’d better eat too.”
“Really? Then let’s go together. Are you okay, saintess?”
“Uh… sure. Let’s go together.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Woros and his friends had quite a few things to talk about. I mean between friends. A very, very, very, very, very, very hard-chiin-gu!”
Eva looked at Eldenia with a smile. As if she couldn’t lose even Eldenia, she smiled brightly. I didn’t know these two were so close. In the original work, these two characters were never directly involved, so I thought they just knew each other’s names.
But this smile continued until the end of the meal. We just laugh and watch each other without saying anything, but at this point, it becomes quite uncomfortable.
Isn’t it a more sticky relationship than I expected? Then I guess it’s for these two that I’m missing out.
“Hey, Miss Eldenia, are there any lectures you and Nishia are taking together?”
“Yes! I’m listening to Mamulology together. Why?”
“If it’s monster science… It’s a basic class. All right. I’m waiting for Nishia, so she wants to know what time it will be over.”
“Today is probably the last day of Mamulology class? It ends around six. I’ll be done by then!”
Six o’clock is a relaxed situation in terms of time. I nodded her head to Eldenia.
“Then, should I go to the education building around 6 o’clock? Thank you.”
“Oh, are you coming? Are you coming to pick me up?”
“No. I have business with Nishia. Because of what you said yesterday, let’s have a little chat.”
“…… “
El Denia stretches her shoulders in disappointment. Seeing her like that, her Eva covers her mouth and laughs.
“Then Woros, what are you going to do until six?”
“I need to make some potions. Because I can’t waste time.”
“Then can I take a little field trip?”
“Didn’t you say you had something to do? Potions are made everyday, so it’s okay if you don’t look at them today.”
“Uh… that is. Okay… “
This time, El Denia bursts out with her laugh.
“Right. Elder Warros. That… I mean that day.”
Eldenia notices Eva. Probably because I was stabbed by Irina. I nodded her head to mean that I don’t care so it’s OK to talk.
“Actually… I talked to Miss Nishia and Denas-senpai… It’s fine until the senior’s body is completely healed, so there was talk about attaching security to her. That…. Seniors also have to live their daily lives.”
“There is no need to do that.”
“Guard? A bodyguard?”
Eva interjects. I had a fight with her sister, so she said just be aware. She told Eva that she would meet Irina, and that she would never intervene in this affair.
“But just in case. And the person in charge of security also wants to do this job. Because he’s the kind of person who aspires to work there. Seniors have to do business too. He has to make stuff too.”
“That’s true. Hmm… So, who is the person who will protect you?”
“First of all, you are a member of our church. The accommodation is also in District 6…. I am sure of my skills.”
Eldenia nods her head and smiles.
“It’s more like a volunteer, but he’s a trustworthy person. He’ll be back soon. Actually, I came to the market to talk about security. Oh there you came Here!”
“…… “
El Denia gets up from her seat and waves her arms. The person who will be my bodyguard steps her way toward us. That person is someone I know well.
Melgard 1st year second-in-command. Sotia Sonia. She is a thin girl on the outside, but her position in the game is a tank. With her defense alone, she is a warrior that no one can match. When introducing her from her afterwords after her graduation, she is introduced as a Crusader.
A trustworthy knight who would choose death over betrayal bowed his head to me.
