Yenica Palerover (3)
Bell Maia, the senior maid, is rumored to be neat and reliable among the maids of the Ophelis Hall, where only the elite are gathered.
So, with the two letters ‘senior’ in front, you can even take on the task of educating or reprimanding new maids.
There are rumors circulating that Ellis, the current chief maid and general manager of the Ophelis Hall, is thinking of retiring.
Then all the attention of the Ophelis Hall will be focused on who the next maid will be, and one of the strong candidates was Bell Maia. It is a natural conclusion.
“Miss Jenica.”
In fact, even among the maids of the Ophelis Hall, Belle has already been treated with a higher status, but nevertheless, it does not distinguish between the nobles of work.
From the dirty and lowly work to the servants in charge of the low-level maids, they stand at the forefront of the field and take charge of it.
The same goes for helping students groom themselves. By convention, the senior maid seldom comes forward, but Bell rolls up her arms in no small measure.
In front of the mirror, combing the back of Yenica’s hair, Bell lightly threw a topic.
“The last time I stopped by the forest, I went to Ed’s camp, and I saw an amazing sight.”
“yes? Ah… the hut?”
“…how did you know?”
At those words, Yenika shrugged and shook her shoulders, then shook her head as she twisted the ends of her hair.
“G.. I passed by..”
“okay. Anyway… You say you made it yourself, and I was quite surprised that it was better than I thought and had a good shape. I didn’t know you had such talent.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I restrained myself from being rude, but I also wanted to go inside. I want to look around and check how sturdy it is.”
“Bell thinks so too.”
“It’s only natural because I’m a human too. This was ‘of course’.”
Bell is a perfect human being as a maid. A person who truly knows how to serve is not satisfied simply because he cleans well and runs errands.
Without presumptuousness, knowing how to do the best you can for your employees is the quality of a true employer.
“If anyone passes by and sees a hut like that, wouldn’t it be interesting to know who built it, how it was built, and what it would look like inside? This is a very natural and natural phenomenon.”
The intention is probably hidden in Bell’s tone, which emphasizes the words strangely natural and natural. She is pushing Yenica’s back. It meant going to camp and talking to Ed, and talking a little bit about the hut.
Of course, there is no way that Yenika was equipped with such a dismal way of thinking… Yenika just nodded her head.
“Yeah, that’s right. That’s it. It’s natural. Seeing something like that will inevitably inspire curiosity.”
With a serious face, he only understood.
Bell let out a sigh inwardly as she braided Yenica’s hair. Being in love is a natural phenomenon for a girl of this age, but even if it’s clumsy like this, things won’t work out.
Of course, meddling more than this is just an act that goes beyond the subject, so all Bell could do now was to trim Yenica’s hair as pretty as possible.
Giving his hand more strength today, Bell quietly brushed the back of Yenika’s hair.
The entrance to the northern forest is still there. The green vegetation that embraces all people equally spreads its chest as if to come in.
Even though the sun is slowly setting, the sight at the entrance is warm rather than gloomy. Because it is like a courtyard for Yenica.
The North Woods is where Yenika often comes to when she wants to take a breather.
I especially like to sit on Merylda’s guardian tree, read a book, get some fresh air, and listen to the rustling of the leaves. It reminds me of the time when I sat on the hill near my hometown and felt the wind.
That’s why Yenika visits this forest every time a perfume bottle rises faintly.
However, I haven’t been able to get in and out of the northern forest recently.
It was embarrassing to say the reason directly, but it was because there was a high probability of running into someone living in the northern forest.
At first, it must have been mere curiosity.
The wind spirit of the forest, Merylda, turns into a small wolf whenever she has a chance, leaves the forest, and visits Yenika and chats with her.
Late at night, sitting by the window under the moonlight and chatting with Merylda. Ending the day like that was a normal routine for Yenika.
Ed Roth-Taylor, Merylda speaks of, is very different from the rumors, saying that it is like seeing the wild animals of the forest, trying so hard to survive, even when they are in an immediate predicament.
If you describe how you get a stomach ache while eating tree bark, you fall down while trying to make a wooden shelter, and your head is tied up, and you fall on the floor because it is so hard to chop firewood, you hold your belly button and laugh.
Even then, when you first catch fish and cook with a fishing rod that you made hard and hard, when you complete a sturdy and useful drying rack well, when you first successfully hunt with a bow you made yourself. .
Yenika liked to sit by the window like that and listen to Merylda’s story.
It reminded me of my parents who used to pat my hair while reading children’s books when I was young. After I grew up, I couldn’t make such a request because I was shy.
So, when I came to my senses, I always ended my day listening to Ed’s story.
“Umm…”
As she walked through the entrance to the northern forest, Yenika rolled her feet. He is aware of how pathetic he is.
Was the direct trigger the Glaskan incident? But there seems to have been a sign before that.
It’s nothing special.
Yeonshim is like a drizzle, and when you suddenly come to your senses, it is covered all over your body.
In the first place, Merylda’s description is too detailed.
No matter what Ed’s muscles were when he took off his shirt, he explained the shape of his biceps and the shape of his abs slowly taking shape.
When we met by chance in the living quarters, our eyes kept falling on the tendon near the clavicle or the thread on the back of the hand, so we could not see each other properly.
After running away as if to run away, he worried even his best friend Anise because of the dripping nosebleed. Clara was so worried that she was sweating profusely. He didn’t bleed to that extent, but it was an overreaction that wasn’t Clara’s.
“What the hell are you doing…”
When I come to my senses, I think of Ed whenever I have time, so I wonder if there are other solutions like this in the world. Because of his seemingly frivolous self-image, he staggers his feet.
At first, Ed Roth Taylor was excommunicated from the family. Although he is called Ed Roth Taylor due to inertia, he has already been downgraded to a commoner status and has to live with only the two letters of his name, Ed.
In other words, there is no longer such a difference in status with Yenika. I wonder if that’s a big deal, but in fact, Yenika is just having a strange imagination.
For example, imagining the scene of the two of them working together on a ranch in their hometown where there is a shortage of workers, doing research together at a place like the Eastern Magical Society after graduation, or staying at the school together to complete teaching… Kicks the duvet with her feet.
I didn’t know he was such a delusional person. The strange feeling that rises over time is an added bonus.
“How long are you going to be like this?
Ed’s reputation has improved a bit, but it’s still not very good.
Ed is well aware of that fact, so he doesn’t think it’s unusual for Yenika to avoid him… but from Yenika’s point of view, it’s a different issue.
Considering only the objective situation, it is rude to avoid others so openly. What’s wrong with dating? It used to be a matter of human-to-human manners.
Yenika nodded and headed towards the camp where Ed would be.

Finally, the talent stat reached 10.
From here on, it can be said that he now possesses stats that are completely specialized for dexterity.
From the moment the talent stat reaches 10, the proficiency level of the crafting skill increases a little more, and if the conditions are met, advanced crafting skills can be acquired.
‘Spiritual Infusion’ that can realize the power of spirits through products.
‘Magic Engineering’ that can make various magical items
‘Enchantment’ to give various effects to ordinary products
A ‘craftsman’s soul’ that makes it more powerful when fighting using your own products
‘The pharmacist’s eye’ that makes the combination of various reagents and herbs skillfully
.
.
If the conditions are met, it will be possible to use specialized skills differentiated in various forms by combining with combat/magic/alchemy skills.
At this point, the only advanced crafting skill that can be realistically obtained is ‘spirit-type injection’, but if you put more effort into it, you may be able to use various advanced skills.
As growth gains momentum and the output of a hut is produced, a sense of accomplishment rises and more work becomes possible, giving me more strength.
I thought it was a good virtuous cycle, and I was thinking of a way to stuff things inside the cabin.
The most important thing is the door. I bought a hinge and hung it on a made-up wooden board, but it’s not very strong. In the first place, the standard did not fit well, so drafts were leaking. While contemplating how to solve this part, I was in the middle of cutting down trees in one way or another in the vacant lot in front of the hut.
“Ah-han! Hello! Ed!”
There was a person who greeted me with a sound that was out of tune, so I turned my head and saw that it was Yenika. It seems that he came to camp for some reason.
Unlike the neat school uniform I wore during the semester, I was on vacation, so I was wearing a comfortable royal blue skirt and a large white blouse.
Hats and shawls look quite hot, but they seem to have been worn for fear of burning the skin. It is a wise decision. Even if you look closely, Yenica’s pure white skin looks weak in sunlight. The light is not very strong right now because the sunset is setting, but there is nothing good about being vigilant.
On the other hand, I was in the middle of rolling up my arms and legs and wielding a saw on a workbench, so this image full of realism creates a sense of disparity with Yenika.
“Hey, hello. Yenica. What’s going on, up to here?”
I was greeted naturally. I was a little puzzled because it was Yenica who was following me these days. To come to the camp on my own feet, I just wondered if there was something to be done.
“It’s not a big deal…!”
Yenica opened the story like that, and explained in a strangely quick tone.
“Pass by! Just go see Merylda! There’s a hut! I’ve been there!”
He explains what’s so urgent.
“With a hut like this, you wonder who built it, how it was built, and what it looked like inside! Is not it? Is it natural? yes?”
“right?”
“So I thought it was natural and natural, so I came here naturally and naturally, yes. The hut is great, Ed.”
I tossed the saw towards the workbench and flicked my hands.
“yes. recently built But didn’t the spirits tell you?”
He hiccuped as if something had been stabbed at those words, and Yenika shook her head.
“I told you, but just passing by? Ah, there is such a thing, just enough to make you want to? very slightly? a little bit? A level where there was only nonsense…? In the first place, I don’t talk to the spirits that much. yes. Just sometimes..? The degree of exchange…? So I don’t know the details of what Ed is doing and how he lives. Really. yes.”
“Is that so? Yes, you can go in. It’s pretty sturdy, so it’s not bad. I was pretty happy too.”
I nodded and pointed towards the hut. Yenika crouched oddly and went into the hut, then began to touch and stare here and there.
It’s a small log cabin, but I’m proud to think that I made it myself.
The spirit of the night is coming.
The sound of stinging grasshoppers is still lovely. Gradually, the moon reveals its face, and the stars like salt slowly begin to follow.
I made tea using the herbs Bell gave me in a wooden mug I bought in the living quarters. Yenika quietly took the cup of herbal tea with both hands, and sat there staring blankly at the pounding flames.
It’s a hut and it’s built, but the fireplace isn’t finished properly, so you can’t light a fire inside. Then, if I burn the hut I’ve worked hard for, I can’t sleep because it’s unfair.
So, until the proper interior construction is completed, they are still camping outside. Still, if you look at my almost finished house, you will feel romantic even in this situation.
“Ed is great. Ordinary people would give up on everything in a situation like this.”
“It wouldn’t be something to be proud of.”
“No, that’s great enough.”
The strange feeling of cringing had already disappeared. The peaceful feeling in the quiet night forest has a mysterious aura that calms people down. If you have a cup of herbal tea in your hand, there is nothing better.
“I don’t think I could really do anything if I was in Ed’s situation.”
“In the beginning, you too… you have to leave the Ophelis building sooner or later…?”
“yes. I think I’ll probably stay at the Dex Hall.”
The 3rd largest dormitory in Sylvania. Ophelis Hall, Lorrail Hall, Dex Hall.
Dexgwan has the most underdeveloped facilities among them, and is where most general students belong.
Depending on the cost, it is a facility with 4-person rooms, 8-person rooms, and up to 10-person rooms, so if you live in the Ophelis Hall and live in the Dex Hall, it is really difficult to adapt.
Well, as Yenika, who doesn’t come from a wealthy family in the first place, it won’t be that difficult.
“What about tuition? Can you afford it at home?”
Yenika shook her head.
“Febry lent it to me. I’ll pay it back slowly after graduation.”
It was the name of the second daughter of the imperial prime minister, Chloël.
In the first place, Yenika is a person who can do anything after graduating and getting a degree, so it is not a very risky investment. In the end, this party is also trying to erase the debt.
Nevertheless, it must have been Yenica’s insistence that she dared to enter the Dex Hall. The facilities would be better at the L’Orail Hall, but after committing such a big incident, you don’t have the right to live in a well-equipped dormitory with the help of your friends.
“I owe you a lot. I didn’t know that everyone would work so hard for me during the disciplinary committee, I didn’t know that they would even help me with tuition like this, and I didn’t know that Princess Penia or Lortel would do so much for me. Even after making such a mistake, did everyone comfort you after the disciplinary committee ended? Everyone… Thank you so much. It’s really hard to put into words.”

Most people don’t understand that Yenica was born because she was crushed by that heavy heart. In the end, none of the underlying problems have been resolved.
The vicious cycle has not yet been broken.
“How am I supposed to pay for all of this?”
“If you can’t pay it back, you can eat it.”
Yenica received a lot of expectations and support, but ended up failing in the end.
The shock has not yet subsided, but new debts are piling up again.
“Isn’t it a stereotype that I have to pay off all my debts? Do I have to pay it back just because I borrowed it?”
“Wow, whoa. I never thought of it from that perspective.”
There are so many ways in the world to pay off debt. How many people actually live in groups?
However, for Yenica, such a way of thinking is an unimaginable world. He is such a human being in the first place.
“Anyway, it will be difficult. The dormitory needs to be moved soon.”
“If you go to Dex, the facilities are obviously not good, but I think it will be more enjoyable. Being able to spend all day with such good friends. In the same room from morning until we fall asleep, we can joke with each other, hug a pillow before going to sleep, have a late-night snack together, and talk about various things. yes.”
The Ophelis Hall is a single room per person.
After a hard and arduous day, it is a haven for the mind where you can quietly rest in your own space.
There are no comrades or juniors looking at Yenika with envy. If you sit quietly in bed and look at the moon out the window, you can still lighten the burden on your shoulders.
So, for Yenika, the space called Dex Hall evokes a fundamental fear.
The place where they live together from waking up in the morning until they fall asleep at night is no different than a prison where, for Yenica, they live in chains all day long.
Yenika turned her gaze away from the bonfire and looked up at the sky.
With the quiet air of the forest, the night sky over Aken Island is clear. The gloomyness is turned into stillness, and the gloomy darkness of the early evening turns into warmth.
I thought that the strangely precarious appearance was too daunting to leave it alone.
“If you want to be alone, you can come and stay anytime. I don’t care.”
He spoke lightly so lightly. If you show concern and sincerity towards this girl, it becomes poison.
“yes? Really? pleased. Ehehe.”
Only then did Yenica put in the crooked figure she had seen these days, and put on that stupid and pointless smile for a long time.
“You know, Ed. If Ed is having a hard time or something that is difficult for him to handle on his own, I want you to tell me.”
Yenica looked up at the clear sky and spoke softly.
“Then I’ll definitely help you.”

“These days, the Office of Ophelis has been very confused.”
The mug containing herbal tea is empty. Yenika put on her shawl, got dressed, and got up to leave the camp.
“I think it’s because rumors are circulating that the maid will quit soon. Maid Elise said that these days, she is under a lot of stress.”
Dusting her clothes, Yenika continued.
“Isn’t it strange? Ellis, I haven’t met him often, but he certainly looked very sincere and bright. Well, I’ll be leaving the Ophelis building soon, so it shouldn’t be a big deal, but… I’m just worried.”
Yenica said so and put on that innocent smile of politeness again.
“Anyway, thanks for taking a look at the hut, Ed. I will come to play often. Is it possible to come every day… well… no matter how burdensome it is…?”
“Do what you want.”
“Hehehe. I’m so glad you came to see Ed today. Then see you tomorrow… No, all, see you next time.”
As I said hello to Yenika, I definitely caught the information that Yenika threw out as if it wasn’t a big deal. Come to think of it, the second semester is fast approaching.
The ‘occupation of Ophelis Hall’ signals the start of the second act in earnest.
Originally, it was an incident that should have ended with the incident where the inferior students who were dissatisfied with the unfair treatment had one day and properly expressed their dissatisfaction. Since they are inferior students in the first place, they cannot exert much influence.
However, as the maid market bought by Lortel joins, the scale of the incident grows exponentially… and develops into the main event of Act 2.
In the end, the battle escalated into a battle between the Elte Chamber of Commerce and the Bachelors over the ‘Sage’s Seal’, and it is an event worthy of being called the beginning of all things.
You’re going to have a hard time soon, Taylor.
I waved to Yenika as she was disappearing through the forest of night, and in my mind I sent a silent silence to Taylor.
Really… it’s going to be hard like a dog… It’s Taylor…
Fight…
