conspiracy (1)
The VIP hospital room, where the moonlight sinks deep.
Jeniel sat down on the bed and kicked the floor. Then I glanced at Leonard.
Leonard was silently staring out the window. It was a beautiful starry night.
“·······”
A dreamy landscape that catches the eye.
A romantic atmosphere created naturally.
Have you made any decisions? Leonard was silent today. He just remained silent. That reassuring appearance made Jeniel’s heart flutter even more.
Jeniel gently raised himself.
“I… Leonard.”
“yes.”
Leonard answered briefly. An indifferent yet masculine voice. Jeniel shyly bit his lower lip.
“I will wash first.”
“okay.”
A faint smile crept across Leonard’s lips. Leonard nodded lightly and looked at the bed Jeniel had left. I cleaned up the crumpled blanket.
What does this mean?
Could it be some kind of signal?
Oh dear… Leonardo, you really don’t have to be in such a hurry.
A wild delusion that is drawn naturally.
Jeniel headed to the shower room in the hospital room. I carefully undressed and turned on the shower. The languid hot water soaked her body.
shoot ah-
VIP room with no extra bed. Instead, the bed was a king size. It was large enough for two people to lay down on. That means… I have to sleep in the same bed with Leonard tonight.
I didn’t know if he would really agree, but I thought he would just say that and leave.
It was clear that he was sleeping by seeing that he was there by this time. I even cleaned up the bedspread myself, so I was done.
Is the reason you don’t bother looking for pajamas because you plan on taking them off and going to bed?
Anyway, there is a cool corner.
After taking a shower, Jeniel covered herself with a towel and left the shower. He looked at Leonard with enchanting eyes.
Then… I let go of the towel I was holding.
Took-
Towels that flowed effortlessly.
The moonlight that came through the window reflected Jeniel’s body nakedly. It was completely naked, not wearing a single thread. A strange silhouette was drawn on the wall.
Jeniel moved proudly like a cat. He lightly sat down on the bed and put his hand on Leonard’s cheek. I looked at her with beautiful eyes.
Leonard stretched out on a wide bed.
“·······”
Jeniel blinked blankly.
what? Are you kidding me?
I put my finger on Leonard’s philtrum. The subtle breath that touches your fingertips. Fortunately, he wasn’t dead. Then why the hell are you doing this?
Jeniel poked Leonar on the cheek. There was no response. This time I shook his shoulder vigorously. Likewise, he didn’t even flinch.
A faint snoring is heard before long.
“Great…”
Leonard was in a deep sleep.
With Jeniel, the most beautiful woman in the empire, in front of him, leaving such a romantic situation behind.
Is this something that can be done?
The atmosphere cooled in an instant.
Jeniel’s pupils shook. As if he couldn’t believe it, he called out to Leonard as if he was dumbfounded.
“Leonard?”
“·······”
No answer came back.
Jeniel laughed softly.
“Are you really sleeping?”
“·······”
“Are you kidding Leonard?”
“·······”
I’d rather have it as a joke.
Leonard never opened his eyes. The fucking snoring only got worse.
The moment when your pride as a woman is hurt.
Jeniel did not give up and tried to wake Leonar. He shook Leonard more violently and raised his voice.
“Leonard. wake up.”
“·······”
“Leonard, Leonard.”
“·······”
“····hey. Can you fall asleep in this situation?”
＊＊＊
chirp- chirp- chirp-
The chirping of sparrows announcing the morning. Bright sunlight hurting the eyes.
A body that feels refreshed as if it has been oversleep for the first time in a while.
I was lying half awake when someone shook my body. I ignored it and continued to sleep. But the unpleasant touch continued uninterrupted.
Are you Jeniel? Why bother?
I spoke vaguely, as if I was talking in my sleep.
“Chop a little more…”
“You have to get up now, Professor.”
Contrary to expectations, a thick voice stuck in my eardrum.
Even at first glance, it was a low-pitched tone that could draw muscles. I reflexively opened my eyes.
“·······!!?”
The bodyguard guarding the VIP ward was looking down at me, and Jeniel didn’t even see a shadow. As if she had already left the room, her luggage was nowhere to be found.
I was embarrassed.
“Stop closing your eyes for a moment.”
I got up as naturally as possible. He said, clearing his voice.
“Where is Jeniel?”
“The patient left the room a while ago.”
Jeniel left the room without a word of warning.
It seems that he is very angry. Well, I fell asleep first because I broke my promise.
“·······”
Yesterday my mind was strange.
He worked through a lot of schedules while staying up all night, and his judgment was clouded because his mana consumption was extreme. I was so tired that I subconsciously agreed to the invitation to go to bed. Just hearing the word ‘sleep’ made me smile.
If you ride Hamata, it’s a situation that could have been a big deal.
I was really glad I was sleeping.
At that time, when I was lost in thought, the bodyguard spoke politely.
“I… Professor. In a little while, a new patient will have to enter the room, so you have to leave now.”
“Ah yes. Excuse me.”
I immediately left the hospital room.
On the first floor of the hospital, a sedan was still waiting. The state of Ergon seen through the window was quite desolate. Dark circles came down to her chin, and her eyes were bloodshot red. A tired look.
Ergon, who found me, hurriedly ran out and opened the car door.
“Are you here, Master?”
Ergon did the same schedule as me, only without wasting magic power. I felt sorry for nothing. I’ll have to get a bonus sometime soon.
I put my hand on the boy’s shoulder.
“······It was a lot of trouble.”
“no. If you are a knight serving your master, this is the right thing to do.”
As I got into the back seat, Ergon also sat in the driver’s seat.
Boo Woo-
A sedan that started out softly.
Ergon looked ahead and asked.
“Would you like to go to the mansion?”
“no. I will go to the academy.”
An important issue was scheduled to be discussed at the academy today.
Named Academy Disciplinary Committee.
When a wizard belonging to the academy causes trouble, discipline is imposed within the academy, independent of the Ministry of Magic’s ruling. This disciplinary committee was held because of Karios’ rampage.
Karios, who trespassed on state facilities, injured 50 prison guards, and killed two death row inmates.
The academy’s punishment for him… I don’t even know.
It was an incident that did not exist in the original work, and since Terrios, who always looked after Karios, died, he did not know that a severe punishment might be imposed.
Being deprived of a senior professorship, or being permanently expelled from a professorship.
“We have arrived, Master.”
The sedan stopped in front of the Hectare Pavilion.
I got out of the car and went into the office. Inside, which had sunk gently, a purple halo was spreading softly. It seemed that a text message had come to the crystal ball.
I went to my desk and checked the contents.
[Yerina: Send me the list of medicines. You know you read and delete it right away, right? And when the time comes, look at me. ]
The sender is Yerina.
The long-awaited list of special potions has finally been sent. But my heart was not very happy. This is because they were much harder to obtain than the existing medicines.
“Ha… I’ll tell you quickly.”
At least, the Central Medicinal Medicinal Material Management Center is where you can easily get illegal medicines.
However, the healing invention project team I belonged to had already finished selecting medicinal materials. In other words, it was no longer possible to supply illegal medicines for the cause of research.
However, the risk was too great to listen to the black market.
If I appear on the black market, rumors will spread, and the image I have built up will be destroyed in an instant.
Originally, the purer the water, the easier it is to get dirty.
In other words, it had to be sought in an honest way.
The honest way to obtain illegal medicinal materials is…
I blankly stared at the crystal ball. And then he muttered softly.
“As expected, it’s only Jeniel.”
Unlike the Healing Invention Project, the Pharmaceutical Invention Project begins after the semester begins.
The grouping hasn’t been done yet, so I was able to get involved enough. Furthermore, with regard to medicinal materials, there were fewer restrictions in the field of pharmacy than in healing.
In a word, the rest of the medicine was easily available.
The problem is that there is no reason to participate in the project.
This is because it is impossible to recruit external manpower for the pharmaceutical invention project.
Except for those ‘exceptions’.
So, the only way for me to acquire medicinal materials was with Jeniel. It seemed that if I coaxed him well enough, he would listen to my request.
smart-
A knock rang in the office.
-Professor. It’s time to attend the disciplinary committee.
The voice of Rinnan, the teaching assistant, was heard afterwards.
It was time to go to the disciplinary committee.
“i get it. I’ll be leaving soon.”
After making a note of the list of medicines, I ended the crystal ball.
There was enough time before the pharmaceutical invention project started. So there was no need to rush. Besides, there was still a lot of work to be done.
The Healing Invention Project must also be completed, and Karios must also be taken care of after discipline.
I have to prepare for the wizard’s night that is not far away.
I roughly organized my seat and left the Hectare Hall. We headed to the LOHAS building where the conference room was located.
Wheein-
The cool autumn wind blows.
The academy, which started the second semester, was crowded with students. The romance of the campus was everywhere, and the academy, which had been sluggish, was filled with cheerful laughter. full of youthful energy.
How long has it been since you’ve seen this?
It was the moment when I was about to sink into a new passion. The back of the head, familiar to sight, entered.
“…?”
Fluttering gray short hair.
The haughty gait and the cold scent of perfume.
It was Narsha.
I reflexively called her name.
“Narsha.”
Then, Narsha shook her shoulders. It turns its head stiffly, then spots me and takes two steps back.
“What, what? Why are you following me?”
It seems to be somewhat borderline.
what did he eat wrong? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
I said without hesitation.
“It’s on the way to the meeting room.”
“meeting room?”
Narsha narrowed her eyes. It was an obvious suspicion.
“Why are you in the conference room?”
“There is a disciplinary committee.”
“A disciplinary committee? What did you do wrong?”
Narsha’s eyes widened for an instant.
It seemed that rumors hadn’t spread yet in the academy. Perhaps the Cedric family was determined and blocked it. They are still the best family in the empire in name and reality.
“Not because of me, but because of Karios.”
“okay······? What did he do wrong?”
Only then did Narsha’s eyes return to normal. That naked reaction was subtly cute.
I smiled lightly.
“There is something like that.”
“What?”
“·······”
Ignoring the pouting question, I moved to the Lohas coffin. Narsha, who cringed at my approach, soon followed.
“Ai-ssi, I’m really curious about people. what is it?”
Narsha looked up with a grumpy face.
Normally, I would have ignored it, but today it caught my eye. For some reason, I wanted to play a joke. I gently looked down at Narsha.
“I’m curious?”
“yes. . . . not a lot, just a little.”
“Then do you want to go with me? You can see it with your own eyes You can let me sit next to you.”
A joke thrown lightly.
However, Narsha’s steps stopped abruptly. As if time had stopped, as if cognitive dissonance had come, he blinked blankly. Then he murmured softly.
“What, what are you saying…”
There was quite a difference from the expected reaction.
I knew he would get angry, but I didn’t expect him to react so passively. It looked unanswered.
“Why am I going there…”
Narsha stares at the floor and scratches her head.
I immediately looked away. I thought so and headed back to the Lohas House.
It was a time when I moved without thinking.
“…?”
I felt a presence behind me.
The sound of crisp footsteps lingered in my ears. Someone was following closely.
Intuitively felt ominous.
When I looked back calmly, a female mage was silently following me. Its true identity was none other than Narsha.
This place is in the exact opposite direction from the magic tower, so why?
I was startled and asked.
“what?”
“what.”
Narsha asked. It was a nuance of what was the problem.
“Why are you following me?”
“You said let’s go together.”
A bold answer followed.
Laughter came out of nowhere.
“But what if you really follow me?”
“why? no?”
“Of course not.”
“Oh what I thought it was real… then why don’t you say anything?”
Narsha pursed her lips as if she was dumbfounded. Then, he turned around and walked to the magic tower.
I stared blankly at the distant figure behind me.
I guess he really did something wrong.
＊＊＊
same time.
Jeniel headed to the Zenith Hall, where the club rooms were gathered. It was to fulfill Leonard’s request.
It was embarrassing to think of yesterday, but a promise is a promise.
Still, it wasn’t completely forgiving.
As much as he trampled on a woman’s pride, he will surely pay it back when the opportunity arises someday. Even if you see this, you are a person who puts an end to this word.
“huh.”
Jeniel stood in front of the student council room. After checking his appearance and clearing his throat, he knocked on the door.
smart-
Then, in an instant, the buzzing inside became quiet. Before long, student council president Selina opened the door. She tilted her head as if wondering.
“Uh… hello. What are you here for?”
“This is the student council room, right?”
“yes. I am Selina, the student council president.”
“Oh, that’s right. I heard that they are recruiting festival safety officers.”
“uh? really?
Selina’s brightened up. As Leonard said, there must have been a lack of people.
Selina opened the door to the student council room wide as if welcoming a nobleman.
“Come on in. I was just looking for it, so thank you for coming.”
The smell of oil wafted through the student council room. Judging by the chicken and pizza on the table, it seemed that they were having a small dinner party. The students hastily wiped their mouths.
“Oh, welcome.”
“Thank you for your support.”
“You can sit over there.”
Jeniel grinned and pointed to the table.
“Eat yourself. It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”
“yes······? Ah, yes.”
The students, who glanced at each other, sat down at the table again. We ate food and talked softly. Jeniel looked at him happily.
When I was a student, I often ate food like that. I’m a little envious I miss that time too.
Meanwhile, Selina handed out the application form.
“You just need to fill out a brief survey with your name here.”
“Yes, got it.”
Jeniel obediently filled out the application form. Selina, who was sitting next to her, asked, shaking her head.
“How did you come to apply?”
“Uh… I was passing by and saw the application announcement. Just because the time is empty.”
“That’s right. Is there anyone you know who has time? It’s still a bit lacking.”
Hehe.
Selina laughed like a ball. Nucksal was a very good kid. By the way, are you an acquaintance with time?
A person flashed in Jeniel’s mind as he pondered. A man who made himself apply for a lifeguard job, free of time because he didn’t lecture this year.
A bad guy who wants to take a bite once in a while.
Jeniel suddenly put the fan down. He looked at Selina and smiled slyly.
“You don’t have to be a student, do you? There is one of the professors, though .”
