Look, Mr. Yenica (1)
It was a time when the student council election campaign was over, and Tanya Roth Taylor’s new cabinet was also taking shape to some extent. To put it chronologically, it was about ten days after the end of the election.
“Are you dating Ed?”
Senior Professor of Spirit Hak Melina was a poor figure in itself.
The plain long black hair was neatly combed down, but the tired eyes and the protruding mouth seem full of dissatisfaction. Even the way he dresses, showing the curves of his body, looks more like the owner of an inn rather than a professor.
He is holding a pipe and spitting out smoke. It was a really uncomfortable impression to get close to.
“… yes… ?”
“Are you dating Ed?”
I was about to call Yenika for help with the 1st and 2nd year students reviewing the spiritology assignments.
So Yenika even came to the private lab in the faculty building, but that was the first thing she said.
With Yenika’s personality, she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“It was all of a sudden… ?? Why does that sound… ?”
“are you kidding. In addition to the spirit science class, the quarterly common class and elemental science class are just the two of us. When I go to a student welfare facility or a student cafeteria to eat something, I stick with it.”
“… it… Is… .”
“Even if men and women meet at eye level, all kinds of dating circuits are activated and it is the girls of your age who give back gossip. is not it?”
Professor Melina shuddered as if jingled, then exhaled the smoke again.
“Besides, these days, Yenika, whenever you have free time, you just stumble… Even during lectures, he blankly stares at the blackboard and smiles bashfully. Just like little kids who have just started dating, only sighs. What the heck, thinking of some pointless thought, I wiggle the corners of my mouth with such a bewildered face— Hanya.”
“Well, you don’t have to talk like that… !”
It’s definitely a sharp point. Whether it’s because she’s humming for some reason or her voice is just floating, Yenika is excited these days.
It’s because Ed’s time in seclusion has really increased the amount of time the two of them spend together.
Basically, Ed has few classmates close by, so he spent most of his bachelor’s time with Yenika.
There were a lot of overlapping classes, we ate together, and we were solving assignments together, so when we woke up, we were sticking together.
The fact that there is no lethality in happiness was a fate that should have been considered fortunate.
“okay… No matter who you meet and what you do, as a professor, it’s not going to be meddling. I’m calling you today just to ask for help with grades 1st and 2nd grade spirit-inspired assignments.”
“Scoring… ? I am… ?”
“Isn’t there anything wrong with it? I’ll give you extra points.”
As far as spirits are concerned, it is safe to say that there are very few people who can follow Yenika in this bachelor.
Of course, even if it rots, it’s Junchi, and Melina is also a professor, so her knowledge of her field of specialization, spirit art, is unmatched deep.
However, its scope is difficult to go beyond the realm of academic fields.
The essence of spiritism. history. An ecosystem of spirits. Concept of Elemental Affinity. Sensitivity training method. Deep understanding of the concept of responsiveness and so on.
In the field of academics, of course, Yenika is far from reaching the faculty who have been studying all her life… The realm of sensation is completely different.
Just like knowing a ball game well and being good at it are two different things… When entering the realm of senses, Yenica’s sense of handling even high-ranking spirits freely makes even the stingy Melina nod.
“The joint combat practice is scheduled for soon, so consider this an opportunity to set your dignity as a senior.”
“I don’t want to build something like dignity… ”
“Actually, I don’t even want dignity. Just please, how can you be patient, even if it’s just a smile that makes you smile as if you’re happy in the world? It’s your luck to save your youth to bloom, but from the point of view of the person looking at you, ‘Is he really out of his mind?’ That’s what I was thinking.”
After hearing the story up to that point, Yenika’s face warmed up for some reason. He shook his head and nodded quickly.
Once you start to fall into your own world, you have a tendency to be unaware of your surroundings. Maybe that’s why, lately, people around me have started to express their concerns when they see myself in a strangely high tension.
Actually, it’s not something to be concerned about. Well, it doesn’t mean that the corners of your lips are worn out just because you’re a little fussy.
However, there was one fact that Yenica did not take into account.
If you look at him from a three-person point of view, shooting the bachelors with Ed and flirting, even if they look like lovers, there seems to be no sense of incongruity. One day, the two suddenly said, ‘We’re dating.’ Even if I declare it, I think I will naturally accept it, saying, ‘It was like that too-‘.
That fact may not be very pleasing to some.
“… … .”
Anise Halan, who opened his ax eyes with a fat face and captured the cloak… Never touched the teacup.
Yenika is quietly photosynthesizing while sitting on the terrace seat of the tea house in the Student Union. As if it were a stuffed toy, she was smiling with a bright smile on her face without moving. It looks happy in the world when the luster flows on the face.
No more, no less, just the number itself. It seems that even flowers are blooming around it.
“You must have worked hard today, Yenika. Today’s monster ecology task was really hard because there were so many.”
“yes? Ugh~”
“… I would have had an early dinner too. Before the sun goes down, I’ll have to go back to my dorm and try to decipher the ancient texts that Professor Stray told me. When I looked at what I heard in class, it seemed difficult to do it alone, but I should try… .”
“Ugh~ That’s right~ I’ll have to give it a try~ This detoxification class didn’t have many assignments though~ It’ll be okay~”
“… … .”
As usual, Yenica listens to Anise, accepts it in moderation, and gives back to her. But Anise was strangely angry.
Anise is also sitting at the table opposite her, her eyes are smiling, but it feels like her cross veins have risen.
It wouldn’t be strange for Anise to smile when she saw Yenika’s happy face, but why is she subtly angry now?
A little reflection on her feelings would quickly reveal the reason, but Anise didn’t do it right away.
“By the way, Yenika… That guy… .”
“yes? I mean Ed… ?”
“yes. Yenika must have known from the beginning that the man wasn’t dead, didn’t she?”
At first, Anise was worried that she had lost her mind when she saw Yenica cooking out of nowhere, but now she understands all of her actions.
Yenika kept it a secret even though she knew that Ed Roth-Taylor wasn’t dead in the first place. If it had been Yenika and no one else, there must have been a convincing reason.
Anise didn’t know about that fact, but Anise was a bit grumpy.
“me… I was really worried about Yenika back then. ‘The heartache caused by that man’s death is so great that Yenica is really struggling a lot.’ I thought. Yenika is my dear friend.”
“Uh huh… .”
“So tell me… . I felt a little savage. I worry about Yenika so much, but Yenika alone knows the truth and keeps watching me worrying, huh?”
“Ah, ah no… that, that… .”
What are you talking about right now with Yenika, the most precious friend in the world? Why are you making such a meaningless inquiry?
Anise didn’t even understand what she was doing. He was just saying whatever came out of his mouth.
“That, Mi… I’m sorry… anise. But something really happened.”
“To the point that you can’t even tell me… ?”
“Yes… .”
“then… I can’t help it… .”
Anise sighed deeply. As she kept her head down, she glanced into Yenika’s eyes with a side glare.
Like Yenika, the kindest person in the world, she was restless, caressing my fingertips.
I felt a sharp pain piercing my chest. A proper sense of immorality has the power to encourage derailment in people.
“If it was Yenica, Ed would have been in trouble while helping the man.”
“rain… It’s similar… .”
It was similar and he slept, and the words were correct. Inference work based on limited information was Anise’s specialty.
“In the beginning, Yenika… It seems like he’s just helping out and giving him away every day… .”
I felt that way because I was speaking too directly, but it was a fact anyway.
“Yenika is that man’s maid… ? I did it when I was in hiding, what the hell is that guy doing to cook food and take care of the house… ? So that guy gave me some money… ? I even gave you a hug… ? It is said that Eul is the first person to have a heart for, but you have crossed the line too much… !”
“That, that… .”
“As I’ve said before, it’s just a matter of having a liver and gallbladder removed, then being used and thrown away… ! In fact, Ed Roth-Taylor isn’t the only man left behind… ??”
“Why is the story cut off by Ed Yoke here… ? Anise, I told you last time that Ed was a pretty decent person… !”
“… !”
Anise was speechless there once. In the first place, I felt like I was pouring out the story as it came out, so I also felt that it was logically inconsistent.
Anise knows well that Ed Roth-Taylor is a more thoughtful and decent man than expected. That is why it was heartbreaking to see the story flow in the direction of strangely gossiping about him.
However, as mentioned above, a proper sense of immorality tends to encourage derailment. In particular, people who have lived a steady life by choosing only the correct answers feel strangely attracted to the strange twist when they are twisted once.
“Hey, I didn’t mean to gossip… . Mi, sorry… .”
“Oh, no… .”
silence for a while.
subtle atmosphere. Neither of them know why this happened.
“Yeah, that’s right, Yenika. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Be careful… what… ?”
“It’s just a bit complicated. To be honest, when you think about it, even though Yenica is so dedicated, Ed, the man never did anything like this, right? That’s true… ?”
“Mae, every time I say thank you. He patted me on the shoulder and told me it would have been really terrible without me… Shake hands… .”
“After all, it’s just a façade… !”
It is infinitely converging to the mindset of a typical beaten wife. ‘Isn’t this a little bit?’ Even though I’m thinking… Anise’s advice also started to bounce in a strangely strange direction.
“This… It’s time to test that man, Yenika.”
“It’s a test… Am I Ed? When you say that, it sounds like I don’t really trust Ed.”
“Now is the time to be suspicious. You deserve it, Yenika. It’s not the only thing you’ve done to Ed. Are you going to live like this? When you get it, you get it! Then you become a real hogu… !”
I don’t want an old-fashioned, foxy push like the Lortel on the top. It’s been quite a while since I gave up.
At the very least, it’s best to just spread it and avoid being hit with greetings.
“Ed the man… Make me a little mad.”
“What… ? I… why… ?”
“People show their true nature when they’re angry to the core, Yenika.”
So it’s about doing something that makes him angry and seeing how it turns out.
It’s hard to imagine Ed Roth-Taylor getting angry, but he’s human anyway, so when he’s angry, he’ll be angry.
“However… Ed’s never been mad at me… .”
Yenika, who talks like that while twisting her braided hair as if in trouble… I don’t know for some reason, but Anise was ignorantly mean… !
If it’s normal, there’s no reason to be mean… It was just that.
“And, I’ll try it, and it’s not polite to provoke a person… .”
The theory I hoped for. However, there is no reason to argue against it.
“Jenica. Listen well. To put it bluntly, Yenika has a crush on that man, right?”
“Huh.”
No matter how much emotion you are aware of, it is a human psychology to feel a bit shy when you put it out in the form of words.
Anise’s words come in without blinking and reveal the truth. Yenika swallowed her saliva and blushed.
“But now I know that Yenika is getting closer to a close friend or family member rather than the man’s lover… ?”
“That, that… .”
It was truly a climax.
The warm and comfortable feeling that comes to mind when you think of Ed’s face or imagine sitting next to him in his camp.
If you can imagine leaning on his shoulder, I’ve only felt my heart pounding and blood rushing to my face before… These days, the feeling of being comfortable as if returning home comes to mind.
“That’s the problem, Yenika! That man must be doing something… ! What you two need is a ‘re-establishment’ of the relationship!”
“Re-establishment… ?”
“okay… You guys need to get a little ‘strange’! If we remain as natural to each other, we don’t get excited!”
Anise’s words have a strange magical power. At some point, Jenica swallowed her saliva and began to be attracted to her story.
“So… Moderately… make me angry Then the real man will come out.”
Watching Yenika swallow dry saliva… Anise also felt strangely burning in her chest.
“Well, then I’ll go see… ! See you tomorrow, Anise… !”
Anyway, Yenika decided to take a look at Ed Roth Taylor’s Elemental Sensitivity training during the day.
Talking about such a schedule, seeing off Yenika as she left the student union, Anise sat down on a nearby bench with her face covered.
The bullshit telling him to piss off the guy first. They brought up a plausible cause such as re-establishing the relationship, but in the end, it was just a futile thing for Yenika.
This… Anyone in the world sees him as an alien.
From noblemtl.com
My behavior was so embarrassing that Anise had to sit on a wooden bench for a while to cool off.
But… On the other hand, other questions arise in my heart. It is a question that at least neutralizes the strangely rising sense of immorality and guilt.
First of all, Yenika… Is it possible to arouse the man’s anger… ?
“… … .”
In conclusion, it is absolutely impossible.
In the first place, Yenika is not a person who can do that. That’s what man himself is.
Even more so if that opponent is Ed Roth Taylor.
“really… Doing useless things… .”
Anise slapped me in the head as she swept her face.

I skimmed the list of various tech items that I could craft in the hex tech slot.
Among them, the one that is most interested right now is the ‘Thousand-year-old wooden staff struck by lightning’.
First off, the recipe itself is very simple. There is almost no fairness, and the power rating is high for a topic that does not have a high level of difficulty.
The reason is really simple. Because it is very difficult to obtain the material.
A branch of a tree that has lived for more than a thousand years is twisted by lightning. It is a material that you have no idea where to get it just by hearing the word.
In the main story of ＜Failed Sword of Sylvania>, it was just in the inventory as a reward item for the final chapter of Act 3, but when it became a reality, I was at a loss as to where to get this.
Well, if you don’t, you can create it.
Trees over a thousand years old are rare, but there is at least one in this northern forest. Then you can hit the branch of the tree with lightning.
The tree is the ‘guardian tree of Merylda’. If you ask Merylda for a branch, you can pluck it somehow.
When it comes to lightning, there is a high-level lightning magic called ‘Negative Punishment’ that Lucy deals with. For Lucy, high-ranking magic is something she can do while just picking her ears, so she will do it if she asks for it.
“Hmm… .”
Thunderbolt Millennium Staff (Very Rare)
Increases the sensitivity of all elemental spirits. Amplifies the magic efficiency of elemental magic.
If you look at the information section of magic equipment, this is a very coveted ability.
In the first place, the sensitivity stat is a kind of uniqueness that is strongly guaranteed, so it is a stat that is difficult to amplify with equipment or enhancement magic.
Sensitivity stats are expressed only by the character’s intrinsic strength. One of the exceptional items that breaks one of the core principles of ＜Sylvania’s Failed Swordsmanship> is this staff.
While tapping the bonfire with a poker, he made a plan to procure other materials besides the branches struck by lightning.
From noblemtl.com
Most of the rest can be purchased if you go to Elte. Putting it this way, it turned out to be a surprisingly realistic plan.
“Hmm… It won’t take as long as you think.”
It’s not something I’m going to write in the first place.
I thought of the oak staff that Yenica was carrying around like her own body. It’s definitely not a bad performance stick, but it’s worn out after using it for too long anyway.
Is there some reason for using only the canes even though there are a lot of canes that family and friends have given them as gifts?
However, if there is a device that can further enhance one’s potential, it is right to use it. Still, there were many things that I wanted to repay in many ways to Yenica.
If I can afford it, I want to make my own too… The higher the grade, the worse the efficiency of the magical power used to re-create it. This is a measure to prevent the infinite mass production of high-efficiency tech equipment.
You should be prepared to make the second wand a little slower.
If you’re thinking of remaking legendary tech stuff like the Del Heim Hourglass… It will take almost two months.
It’s something worth investing that amount of time into. Of course, in the meantime, I will make a lot of other tech supplies.
First of all, before the end of this semester, I want to make another legendary tech item, ‘Glock’s Eye’.
Eye of Glock (Legendary)
Temporarily increases the proficiency of all sensitivity system abilities. The effectiveness of low-level magic is halved. Defensive magic cannot be used. Immune to elemental magic.
Among the items that directly affect the ability of the sensitivity system, the highest level of tech equipment.
At this point, I don’t know how to make it, but… Still, it’s worth taking the time to give it a try. In particular, being completely immune to all elemental magic means that you will have an overwhelming advantage when fighting against wizards. It’s a bit out of the way, but it’s a semi-fraudulent item, and it’s an item that could only be obtained at the very end of the original.
Above all, Gloct’s eyes are not consumables. There is a cooldown time, but it is a reusable item anyway, so once you make it, it actually leads to an increase in my specs.
“okay… after… First of all, rather than a distant goal, you should achieve the goal in front of you step by step. First of all, I wish I could make a wand quickly.”
Of course, it is difficult on your own. I lifted my head and looked towards the hut. No one really caught my eye.
I turned around and scanned the entire campground, and I saw Lucy taking a nap in a hammock netted in a tree next to the hut.
“Soundbite.”
I quickly got up and went to the hammock.
I put my head in front of Lucy’s nose to make sure she was getting a good night’s sleep.
Lucy was sleeping soundly, but if she had something to say, she wakes up. After all, Lucy is almost always half-drowsy, so waking her up doesn’t change much.
It’s also something I don’t really care about.
“Hey, Lucy.”
When I called out his name like that, Lucy quickly got up and got up as usual.
No, it actually didn’t happen ‘as always’.
“… … .”
“… … !!!!”
From noblemtl.com
My eyes met in front of my nose and suddenly my eyes widened. Then he took a breath, then suddenly bounced off his body and flew like a float, landing on a large branch.
“Why why… .”
“… Is it that surprising… ?”
The number of times that Lucy, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up, was too many to count with two fingers.
When I asked if it was going to be such a fuss, Lucy shook her head.
“… No, I’m sorry for surprising you. It’s not necessary right now, so I’ll say it slowly later.”
“Gee, you can tell me now… . It’s okay, it’s okay… .”
“No, come to think of it, I have a schedule.”
Explaining various circumstances and explaining to Lucy to cast lightning magic is… You can do it anytime.
However, come to think of it, I had asked Yenika to take a look at my spirit induction training today. He said he would arrive at the camp around 7 o’clock after the bachelor’s class, so I had to prepare quickly.
I waved my hand at Lucy, said it was okay, and returned to the campfire. And sitting near a rock, reading a book on elemental science… I waited for Yenika for a long time like that.
―Crumb crunch.
It was around the time that five or six pages of the book had been turned by the time Yenica appeared through the grass.
“Hello, Ed… !”
From noblemtl.com
Maybe it was because he had turned around on a rather rough road instead of the one he had usually come from, and some leaves were attached to Jenica’s collar and nose. Why? ?
“Oh, Yenika. A little late.”
“yes. I’m about 10 minutes late… !”
“What happened?”
After saying that, Yenika suddenly crosses her arms and speaks in an arrogant pose.
“Nothing… No reason to be late… !”
“… … .”
“just… late!”
Saying that, ahem, he added a cough.
“… … .”
I was thinking about what kind of reaction I want and how to respond… .
“What… This can be happen. you are very busy It’s just that I’m grateful that you came to help with sensitivity training.”
Having said that, I closed the book and got up, brushing my clothes. It’s sensitive training, so I won’t use my body much, but I also broke my shoulders here and there.
“… … .”
I don’t know why… Yenika was sweating in a cold sweat at the subject taking an arrogant pose.
