9 – Chapter 3. Readymade Pilot – 1
– 10 –
What day is it today? Friday!
It was a very sad day for me as every day was a holiday.
Goodbye, white life.
I will definitely come back someday. Wait.
The suitcase was already loaded in Armion’s car by the servants.
I changed into a stylish suit after receiving a haircut that I didn’t know when I would receive it.
“The lady looks good in anything she wears.”
The baptism of praise by the maids is now accustomed. Familiarity is scary.
I was afraid that I would no longer feel compliments as compliments just as I couldn’t properly cope with a dangerous situation if I didn’t feel pain.
So, from now on, I was going to make it a priority to acquire a steel mentality that can be lightly disregarded for any praise or criticism.
It was spring, but it was a bit chilly, so wearing a long coat looked like a precious child of a family.
As I was about to pose for a while with an expressionless face in front of the mirror, I saw Cress’ face through the open door.
“Hmm.”
After coughing for nothing, I met a guy I became quite close with in two days.
He ran over and stroked Cress’s hair as he hugged him. It’s soft and it’s very addictive.
“Sister. When are you coming to school?”
“Well. During holiday?”
It seems like Kaon did too, no matter how much she is in the same city, she looked like she didn’t have to come home every weekend.
Cress nodded her head with a somber expression.
“You have to get along with your brother.”
“Yes. Okay.”
Since Kaon and Kaon are in different grades, there will not be many encounters, so there was no fear of worsening the relationship.
Even if the status quo is maintained, more than half of it is gone, so never make false promises.
Finally, as Armion did for me, he stroked Cress’s hair and ruffled it, then grabbed her hand and left the room together.
And I met an old lady with a slightly bewildered expression in the hallway.
“Grandma.”
Now, her grandmother’s voice is also quite a mouthful. She, who had a bewildered expression on my face, saw Cress hanging next to me and started to manage her expression.
“Miss Erif. Is it okay for a moment?”
“Yes. Grandma.”
Every time Grandma makes a noise, she terrifies me. It can be a burden to older people, so I will call you by a different name.
After she entrusted the cress to a passing servant, she said goodbye. Then she followed her grandmother into an empty room.
“I still don’t know why a person like you asked for the daughter of our ugly son.”
As I listened, it seemed that he knew that I was a spirit.
I tried to pretend to be a noble spirit, but since he was probably born as a commoner, it was difficult to pretend to be there.
Instead, I was able to convey my sincerity.
“I am a human like you here. Please treat me like family.”
After she finished speaking, she gently grabbed her grandmother’s hand. Her expression faded from surprise.
“Yes. I know.”
Her grandmother took a few deep breaths, and then she gave a soft expression.
“Actually, the blood of a great spirit is flowing inside me. So I was a little surprised to find out who you really are at a glance.”
Even if you pretend to be human, there are people who recognize you as a spirit.
It seems that Armi also said so when she heard it.
I will be more careful in the future. We should also check to see if there are any items that are hiding the spirit’s energy.
“So many times over the past two days, I have looked at your human side and tried to ignore it.”
She gave strength to her hand as she grabbed my hand.
“I thought a lot about watching you play with my grandchildren. My conclusion is…….”
Conclusion?
While I was waiting for an answer, my grandmother suddenly put her hand on my shoulder. She was a grip strength that was hard to come by for a woman of her age.
“As you wish, I will treat you like a granddaughter from now on. If you go to the military academy, you will become my junior. I expect good grades.”
Ah. You were a senior
Grandma and I looked at each other for a while and laughed.
…… Let’s study hard
After greeting family members and users who became close friends, I finally got on Armion’s car.
Even before entering the dormitory, I was already exhausted.
She waved her hand to Cres, who was waving her hand to the end, and as soon as the car turned a corner, she lay down on her seat.
“Aren’t you crazy in the morning?”
Armion said with a sly smile. She didn’t even have the energy to answer, so she raised her hand and then she lowered it.
The car drove through the city and headed for the outskirts of the city.
Like the capital of the kingdom, downtown and high-rise buildings lined up endlessly, and while looking at the scenery outside the window, I arrived near the Celeste Military Academy.
I rolled my eyes furiously to figure out what was nearby, as it was a place I would be indebted to for years to come.
Dessert shop. Cake shop. Cafe.
Why do I keep seeing things like this?
After concentrating again and looking around, I arrived at the school.
Armion parked her car near her dormitory, pulled her suitcase out of her trunk and handed it to me.
“How are you? If there’s anything, I’ll tell Kirst.”
The principal is white. I’m well.
After waving her hand to Armion, I came into the dormitory while dragging her suitcase, and I ran into a big problem.
Where is the room?
Oh, that’s right. I remember Armion giving me something like a note. Obviously in her pocket…….
There was none. It looked like it was in the clothes before changing.
Did you put the clothes in the suitcase? I think the Duke just left it on the bed.
Just in case, I was unpacking my suitcase and rummaging through my clothes, so people started to gather and look around. It would be better to help rather than watch.
“Oh, you!”
Then, a clear voice was heard.
The voice of a girl with rich emotions different from the dry, dry voice. I turned my head to look for the owner of the voice, and a little away stood a girl with long black hair.
“A heroine?”
It was the ‘female heroine’ I had seen before. I’m a little embarrassed to meet you in such a situation.
“What are you talking about, dear? Anyway, you can’t just unpack your luggage in a place like that. Let’s go to the room first.”
“I don’t know the room.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know my room.”
She tried to authenticate herself twice as an idiot, and her face got hot. Hearing my words, the heroine stiffened for a moment, and then she began to laugh out loud.
“Ahahahahaha! Who comes to her dormitory without knowing their room?”
Here. There’s a person here.
Without realizing it, the female protagonist’s smiling face hardened as she made a sullen expression.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
With her long sigh, the heroine hand crumpled up my clothes and handed me her suitcase and beckoned me.
“Follow me.”
“Erif. Erif Cruel… …. Here you are 611.”
She found her room safely thanks to the heroine who guided me to the dormitory superintendent.
The old lady, the superintendent, was very kind to me, who was clumsy in speaking and had a sullen expression on my face. She’ll be indebted to her often in the future, so she should make a good impression.
When she bowed her waist 90 degrees to say hello, the superintendent greeted us with a nice smile.
“No. 611? I’m in room 610, and it’s right next door!”
The female protagonist looked very excited. Is it because she likes to make fun of the fool living next door?
I was happy to see the increase in acquaintances here, as I didn’t know anyone except for the principal and Kaon.
Oops. Before that, you should start with your full name.
“Thanks for your help. I am Erif Cruel.”
The heroine tilted her head slightly as if she felt strange at my tone, then smiled and held out her hand.
“Call me Cermia Seine. She is from [Stillon].”
Oh, it’s been a while since an important word appeared.
Every time I heard a new place name, a related word came to mind.
Up to now, related words have been deliberately thrown out or not, but in fact, if you dig deeper, the information will come up in your head like an encyclopedia.
Stylon. One of the ancient capitals of the [Athion Empire] That was in this land in the past, and a region located to the northwest of the Selmeier Kingdom.
Artion Empire. A huge empire that was built right after [The Third War] And existed until just before the [Shinma War] Through the [Fourth War].

“Ugh.”
My head hurt as the stories of Daejeon came out in succession. I guess I should do it when I’m alone to recall related information in this way.
“What’s going on? It’s okay?”
As she staggered with a slight moan, Chermia supported her with a worried expression. He was a really good kid.
“It’s okay.”
Even with my words, Chermia did not let go of her supportive hand. She leaned on her and got into her elevator and she got to the sixth floor and then she opened the door to my room with the key she got from the Principal.
“All rooms are the same.”
If it is narrow, it is narrow and if it is wide, a spacious single room greeted me.
Unlike Chermia, who lost interest after looking around for a while, seeing the room for the first time, I looked into every corner of the room.
When I opened the suitcase and loosely unpacked my luggage, it seemed to a certain extent that people were living there.
“Let’s get along well, Erif.”
As soon as the cleanup was finished, Chermia reached out her hand abruptly.
Oh. A golden opportunity to become friends with a beautiful girl without paying a friend fee or offering macarons!
You can’t miss this.
“Yes. Please take care of me, Chermia.”
The girls holding hands looked at each other’s faces and smiled.
We headed to the restaurant for lunch.
I can’t remember if I ever had to cross arms with Chermia, but I guess it’s okay because it’s good.
Arms with a pretty girl! I don’t remember anything similar from my previous life, but it must be because I don’t really remember this.
By the way, I’m really looking forward to it. The rice I ate at school the last time was so delicious that I lost my appetite after returning to the Duke family.
With high expectations, I went into a rather old and large building, not the luxurious building where I ate last time.
“This is a restaurant. Did you eat at the building over there with the principal the last time you came?”
“Yes.”
“I heard it comes out like a buffet, is that true?”
“Yes. It was tasty.”
“Here, you can choose from a set diet and eat it. I tried changing the menu for a few days, but the curry is the best.”
“Curry?”
“Yes.”
When I entered the restaurant, there were a lot of people. We often saw children in plain clothes like us, but they seemed to be freshmen.
Scanning their faces roughly, they lined up to receive a curry and dine with Chermia.
The taste was just mediocre.
What day is it today? Saturday!
Kyung] Do nothing [Congratulations]
I did nothing until lunch and roll around in bed, then ate lunch with Chermia and just rolled around in the room.
I’m slowly falling asleep because I’m lying in bed…….
Suddenly, the communicator that Armion had bought rang. She panicked in her sleep and received the call.
Beep
“Hello.”
「Ah, are you Erif Cruel?」
It was the tense voice of a young man.
I don’t know who it is, but I never get calls, so this is 99% voice phishing or an advertisement call.
“You bet wrong.”
I need to go back to sleep.
Beep
“I don’t.”
“Come out.”
I was startled by Curst’s voice and I ran away from sleep.
What do I do when the highest person in school calls me? Gotta go
As I walked out of the dormitory in a hurry, dressed roughly, I saw a restless young man near the entrance and Kirst looking at me with arms folded next to him.
“If you receive a call from someone in the future, first listen to the business before hanging up.”
“Yes.”
Fortunately, I was able to move on to the excuse of ‘not good manners on the phone’.
“From today on, I have to visit the research institute once or twice every weekend and often during the week.”
“Yes?”
Rest? I wanted to ask, but I was scared by Kirst’s wild smile.
Without Armion behind his back, Curst suddenly looked scared.
“Don’t worry too much. Instead, you will have extra points for your grades except for practical skills. That means you can take less classes than others and take a break on weekdays. And there is no reason to stay in the lab for more than two hours at most. After some degree of interpretation of the relics, there will be very little to call.”
“Oh.”
It wasn’t a bad condition as there were no places to go to play on the weekend or friends.
The institute is also less than a five-minute walk away, so you should think of it as just going for a walk.
“Relics Lab. Celeste Branch”
“Yes. Now I read it a lot.”
Is there a place with people similar to the people you saw last time?
I went into the lab with half expectations and half worries.
