54 – Lizerote
On the way out of the office after asking President Olberus.
I smiled in satisfaction at the feeling that my heart, which had been heavy just a moment ago, had become much lighter.
Since the president himself said that he would do his best, this would be practically a confirmed issue.
Of course, the opponent was called one of the biggest eccentrics in the original work, so it’s a bit suspicious, but now I have no choice but to believe in Olberus.
‘Damn it. I wanted to save it as much as possible.’
Even if it leaves some regret, it can’t be helped.
Originally, being able to ask someone like Olberus without even paying a favor was a huge advantage.
In this world where you don’t know when or what will happen, it’s an appropriate right to have as insurance.
That’s why I didn’t want to visit the president’s office until something happened.
The problem is that as a result of collating the information I heard from Aden this time, there is a possibility that a rather troublesome entity will intervene in the exchange meeting incident.
If he’s really involved in this incident, there’s a good chance that he’ll save a card and hold on tight and get f*cked.
Let’s put out the fire first. That’s my current course of action.
The card we need the most for that is Rize right now, and that guy.
‘I hope it turns out well.’
I just hope that Olberus will take good care of the foal and give it to me.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it however I want, even if I hold it in my arms.

Lizerote.
He is a cadet in the 3rd year of the Department of Magic, and he doesn’t even have that common last name.
Lizerote, who is also known by the nickname of 【Indulgencer】, is usually referred to by the concise nickname ‘Lise’ according to the will of the person who does not want to be called her full name.
She broke the unspoken rule that sophomores can serve as maximum vice-president and student president from junior year. He is a person who is in office.
She At the same time, she is also known for her tremendous eccentricity.
Knocked up.
“President! Chairman!”
She opened the door to the student council room, and the girl quickly entered and called someone in an urgent voice.
She was the secretary of the current student council and a second-year cadet belonging to the Department of Sorcery, Sheppy.

She looked so in a hurry and didn’t even know that her proud golden hair was disheveled. Her eyes were directed toward an antique desk by the window, taking her breath away.
Above it lay a corpse, no, a girl with blue hair.
“Ugh, why are you calling me….”
The petite girl made a moaning noise as she nervously slashed the book that was covered like an ornament on the back of her head.
I’m already busy with an exchange meeting right in front of my eyes, but calling someone every 30 minutes is to the point where I’m blown away.
Besides, when you open the lid, there are only unremarkable contents, so you have no choice but to grind your teeth.
Liserotte lifted her head, vowing that if that was the case this time, she would turn this student council room into powder.
“Sorry for taking a break. However, the president called me because he had an urgent business….”
“Stop it, it’s like that old man…” .”
How many people can open their mouths with this kind of tone towards the president of the academy and a person who is called one of the five heroes?
Lizerote’s tone was so condescending to Olberus that if it were someone else, the cadet who witnessed it would tell him to be careful with his words.
However, Sheppy’s reaction was very unexpected.
“Since you say it’s urgent, there’s nothing I can do about it. Shall we leave this work to the executives who will come later, and then go to the president’s office?”
“… I get it. That old man, if he can’t come up with some sweets to satisfy my taste this time, he’ll be beaten.”
“Foot.”
In contrast to Lizerotte, who burned her will to fight, Sheffy’s appearance watching her was very calm.
Even if she says this, she knows better than anyone else how things will go when she goes to the president’s office.
Kiki.
Sheffy opened the door for her like her secretary, and stood next to her as the tiny Liserotte’s body passed in front of her with the imposing steps of a triumphal general.
For this moment, Sheppy was at a loss for her cuteness, forgetting that Lize Rotte was her older sister.
The majestic back, as if a child was trying to pretend to be an adult, felt so cute.
“Hello. President.”
“Hmm.”
While leaving the student council room and heading to the president’s office, the cadets who recognized Lizerote greeted each other without saying anything first.
Every time that happened, Liserotte tried to hide her satisfaction and only nodded her head with her solemn expression.
She didn’t even know in her dreams that the corner of her mouth had gone up, revealing her true intentions.
“As expected, you are very popular. Be great.”
Sheppy clapped softly next to her in order to make Liserotte float.
As expected, the corner of her mouth, which had been wriggling, went up all at once.
“Tta, nothing special. This body, the master of darkness, doesn’t even need the popularity of a mere human.”
“Is that so? After all, you are the president.”
“Hmm. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I praise you a little more.”
If it ended like this, her true intentions at the bottom of the sub would flow out, but Liserotte herself didn’t notice.
Clearly, at her age, she reminds me of Sheppy, but what is this sight that seems to calm her down?
In a way, this scene is probably the most representative moment to reveal the character of a woman named Lizerote.
She is a girl who gave her all to magic at an early age and became a somewhat immature body and mind for her age. That is Lee Zero.
The title 【Indulgence】 is also a nickname that came about when those who were in awe of her overwhelming passion for learning and inquisitive spirit spoke of her magic.
“Well, you have arrived. Mmm!”
Received greetings from the people around her, Lise Rotte arrived at her president’s office with confident steps.
As soon as she reached the door without even a pattern, the momentum that seemed like an infant’s independence from a while ago had considerably diminished.
Looking at this, Shappy thought that she had finally started, and with a wry smile on her face, she knocked on the door of the president’s office instead.
Kiki.
As soon as the knock sounded, someone opened the door right away, as if they had been waiting for it.
It was Vanessa, Olberus’ secretary and professor, a familiar face to both of them.
After a brief greeting by bowing their heads to each other, the three entered the room.
In the center of the space, there was an old man sitting on a leather sofa and waiting for guests early.
“Welcome. I’m sorry for suddenly asking you to come and go.”
Shockingly.
Lizerote’s body trembled slightly as he readily pointed to the seat across from him.
Like a rabbit placed in front of a beast.
Then, as if hiding behind Sheffy, Liserotte headed to the sofa and bowed her head without even saying hello.
The other three looked at this as if they were embarrassed.
“Chairman, I have to say hello….”
“Hey, hello…. I see.”
After Sheppy spoke without hesitation, Lize Rote glanced at Olberus and raised his head.
Up to this point, it took a whopping 20 seconds.
“Boo, I heard you called….”
I don’t know if it should be called a greeting or a clearing up of business, but it was clear that it was a great development.
That’s also true, because in the first place, the person named Lizerote had quite a bit of social phobia.
In particular, she has a personality of being easily intimidated in front of people of a relatively higher status than herself, such as Olberus.
At this time, he even gave up his position as the master of darkness and became like a frightened mouse.
A bitter smile formed on Olberus’ lips as she tried to hide her face as much as possible by pressing down on her conical hat.
On the other hand, I still feel like I have to talk about it, so I decided to open my mouth even if the situation is not good.
“… Hmm. Actually, I am in debt to one of the cadets. I told you that you can ask for anything in return, but he said he would like to borrow your power through me.”
“Me, me?”
At the unexpected request, Liserotte asked again with her embarrassed look on her face.
“Of course you have the right to refuse. I can’t ask you to erase the debt I owe.”
Olberus also expressed that he wasn’t particularly forcing, but from the point of view of her subordinates, there was no way she could think of rejecting it.
Even more difficult for a person like Lizerote, who finds it difficult to have a superior.
Perhaps the outcome of this story was decided at the time it was spoken.
“I-I’m fine…. Still work….”
“Well, I guess so. You’re probably the busiest with the exchange meeting schedule.”
As if he had overlooked that point, Olberus stroked his chin and put on a troubled expression.
At that moment, Shappy cautiously raised her hand and asked her to speak.
“I…. I think we can handle the rest of the work by ourselves. So even if the president looks at other things….”
“Is that okay?”
Remembering that there was a lot of overdue until today, Lizerote showed a surprised look in her eyes.
The high-handed tone from earlier had completely disappeared.
“Yes. Anyway, that is the end of the paperwork that the chairman needs to approve, and we can handle other chores too.”
“Hmm. If that’s true, I’d like to ask without shame. Are you okay?”
As the two people’s gazes were fixed at the same time, Lise Rote rolled her eyes here and there and was lost in thought.
She honestly didn’t want to meet someone she didn’t know, but the favor she received from Olberus was too much for that.
That’s why she honestly wanted to repay her kindness this time.
“Well, then…. I will.”
“Thank you. Then I will tell that friend in advance.”
“Yes…. But that request… ?”
Lizerote, unable to ask what he should help, cautiously expressed his doubts.
At this, Olberus looked at Sheppy, who was sitting next to Lizerote, and shook his head.
Recognizing that this meant that it was not something to bring up in front of others, Lizerote decided to bury her curiosity for now.
Along with the question of who was the one who made the world’s Olberus indebted.
