124 – Easy come, Easy go – 4
Cordelia’s movements have been suspicious lately. By being suspicious, I meant acting out of the ordinary. For example, avoiding me in particular.
“Cordelia, you’ve been avoiding me lately….”
“Sorry!”
“That’s real.”
Like this. Cordelia vanished before I could finish my sentence. Chae grabbed her and asked her something before she could. I don’t know if it’s once or twice, but I’ve been doing that for several days already. It’s not just me avoiding it, Hestia avoids it like that.
Once or twice can be a bit busy, but that’s too explicit. It’s natural that they won’t come close to you in the first place, and if you get close to them, you’ll avoid them far away.
But it’s not that I don’t like something about Hestia or I, it’s not that I’m like that, when I run into it, I put on an expression that I’m carrying all the troubles of the world alone. Very worldly people, I’m worried! And like advertising.
In fact, it was not uncommon for Cordelia to engage in eccentricities like this. She won’t admit it, but her ears are extremely thin, and are instantly affected by anything blowing around her. Besides, how good are you at being lied to? If I, Seol-ah, and Hestia get together and work hard to convince her that walking on her hands is good for beauty, she will really walk on her hands. You can bet
That doesn’t mean she’s just an idiot. The reason she is so easily swayed is because we are her friends, and it is not that she believes what others say.
However, this time her female knight mates are also on the line of suspicion. Even that period is overly cynical. Because from the day I became suspicious of her friends, she suddenly changed like that. More precisely, after I followed him to his room and came out.
After all, the most reasonable assumption is that since Cordelia followed her friend into the room, she’s been avoiding us because of some trick, trick, trap, whatever. This is by no means an unfounded suspicion. It’s a common sense decision anyway. That means I’m never bad.
“So stop staring at me like that, Lira.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Sometimes a glance can say more than a hundred words.”
“So you’re saying I’m bad?”
“No, not bad.”
Lira, dressed in a maid uniform, looked at me with a strange gaze. All of the staff at the academy were said to be extremely busy, but as if he wasn’t busy, he would visit me from time to time and scratch my temper.
It still is. I’m resting comfortably in my room when they come in like this. When I first opened the window and climbed into the room, I thought I was out of breath, but I’m not too surprised that I got used to it in such a short time. Instead, I scolded the uninvited guest who came to my room.
“In the first place, I only talked… , No, the horse is a bit big and stupid, but a girl keeps coming into the room.”
“Shut up.”
“It’s amazing that the academy hired me. Anyone can see that I am still too young to work.”
“Shut up.”
Lira glared at me sharply. If you look carefully, he reacts very sensitively to being told that he is small, similar to the princess. That’s not to say that she doesn’t make a sudden rash like the princess, but she reacts quite sensitively.
That doesn’t mean I hate her. That’s not to say that she doesn’t really like it, but I think it’s a good bamboo forest in that I can say things that I can’t easily tell others.
“Suddenly, I grabbed someone and watched a story.”
“I have no one to talk to like this about you or me.”
“Why don’t you see people as garbage cans?”
“Similar.”
At my words, Lyra made a grimace on her face. Well, what would you do with that expression? She’s also using me as an emotional scratcher to vent her anger, so it’s dojingaejin.
And you can’t just tell Hestia or Seol-ah that Cordelia is suspicious. I wanted to keep this incident out of my line. Because it was I who introduced Cordelia and her girls. This incident was just my heartbreak. It’s simply my hysteria, and there is a possibility that it will end in a happening. That’s why I have no choice but to complain to Lyra.
I asked her to stop whining about her and tell her a little more practical story.
“So, you really don’t know anything?”
“Yes.”
Lira nodded her head. I narrowed my eyes.
“That doesn’t help.”
“It looks like you’re misunderstanding something, but right now I’m just a quick-tempered maid.”
“You’re groping. Then how did you know last time?”
“Because the maid is very interested in the Grand Duke and Her Highness and is agile.”
“Not a single word.”
She acted very brazenly. I sighed as if to listen to her laughing at her smirk.
“So what are you here for? Today, as usual, are you going to mess with my temper and run away?”
“You don’t have to be of help to come. Just uh… , Fellowship?”
“You sound like a fellowship promotion.”
“Just kidding.”
She winked at her eyes. No, did you really come here to scratch me? Lyra raised her hands with a mean expression, perhaps sensing my sharp gaze.
“When I first came, it was true that I came to bully you, but after hearing the story, I wanted to help. I think it would be much more efficient for me to find out about this and that from now on than to roll hard alone.”
“What do you gain by doing that?”
She didn’t mean to turn down help, but I didn’t think she would do me a favor for free. Maybe there’s something going on. However, she waved her hand and appealed that she had no particular intentions. Aside from the authenticity of her words, it’s honestly a tempting suggestion.
“You call that a horse? Whether it’s medicine, magic, whatever, you’ll have to pay the price for stepping your feet into my area.”
“You said you were just a maid before.”
“The maid who dominates the academy night.”
“Say the f*ck.”
“Uh huh. Speak nicely.”
Every time you say something, it changes. How the hell do you believe in that? Lyra, as if reading my doubts, stuck her mouth out.
“Put it in your mouth.”
“There are so many doubts.”
“Be careful. And would you believe me?”
“Nothing will be asked of you. He said he would come later and throw only the information he found out.”
I touched my chin. I know I have nothing to lose, but I still can’t figure out the intention, so I can’t easily believe it. Lyra screamed, as if she didn’t like me for still doubting her.
“Ah or not!”
“I didn’t say I didn’t like it.”
I’ve been grumpy for no reason, but it’s right to accept this offer unconditionally. It’s not like she can betray me, and it’s not a contract where I lose money. However, should I say that it’s something unpleasant to eat it coldly, or should I say that it feels like losing…
“Then you agreed? I believe!”
“Wait! Hey! Hey!”
Before my troubles were over, Lira snatched her promise and she ran away. She disappeared in an instant, leaving only her own words. She was certainly good at running away and hiding, the speed at which admiration came out. I get a little pissed off because I’m getting hurt.
I smiled dejectedly as I looked at the back of her who had left. However, she quickly shook her head from side to side. No, what Think positively. Because good is good She tried to cool her messy head.
–
It was the very next day that Lira climbed back into the room (literally climbing the wall). I was in awe of her speed. Whether it’s getting information or climbing a wall.
“Definitely a pro is a pro.”
“This is what I do.”
At my reaction, Lira shrugged her shoulders. It’s as if this kind of thing is so natural that it’s not much of a compliment.
“So, what did you find out?”
“It’s nothing special, where did Lady Deneb disappear after the academy ended, and what did she see there, or something like that?”
She said it in a light tone, but it seems like a pretty crucial hint no matter how you think about it. Maybe this is just her way of doing things, not used to receiving compliments from her.
“Great enough. Thank you.”
“Isn’t it? Actually, I think it’s kind of great.”
“Cancel.”
I’m not used to it. How can humility not last 5 minutes? I feel like an idiot for praising me for nothing. I looked at Lyra with cold eyes. She laughed, sticking out her tongue.
“To be small. It doesn’t wear out just because you praise it.”
“Sour. Quickly solve the information you know.”
“Sheesh. Listen carefully.”
Lira clicked her tongue and began her story. Her story was shocking. Various rumors, such as how well she disguised herself, how she followed her, and boasted about how she never got caught in the end, were mixed, but in the end, Cordelia wandered around the back alleys as if possessed by something, and found a suspicious-looking man. It is said that he paid a considerable amount of money and purchased a suspicious-looking drug.
“About? Really? Didn’t you see it wrong? Are you sure?”
I couldn’t believe it. Is it Cordelia? Medicine? The Cordelia I know is pure, trustworthy, and though she may be a little clumsy, she is never foolish. It is a story that she is not a great person who can secretly buy suspicious drugs in her back alley. No matter how strangely she’s been acting lately, I don’t think she’s in her right mind buying her meds.
“Sure. And on top of that, there is one more important story.”
“An important story.”
Lyra drove a wedge into me, who was still dizzy about Cordelia’s work. What else to talk about
Lira pulled something of hers out of her pocket. An unidentified black, round object.
“What?”
“Recently, a drug that is spreading knowledge within the academy. Have you ever heard of it?”
“Drugs? That is?”
No matter how you look at it, they look like little clay dumplings filled with the world’s malice. I don’t think it’ll look very good after putting it in my mouth. No correct It’s not that I don’t think I’ll look very good, but I’m sure I’ll get sick.
“They say it’s a drug that increases overall physical abilities, total amount of mana, and manipulation when eaten. I’ve never tried it, so I don’t know if it’s true. Apparently, isn’t there a corner where I can figure it out?”
It felt like lightning struck her head. Cordelia’s friends who suddenly seemed to improve her skills, Cordelia who became strange after following them, and Cordelia who wandered around her back alleys alone yesterday and finally bought her medicine.
I jumped up from my seat.
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think I can sit here anyway.”
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever planned and moved properly. I ran out of the room
The goal is Cordelia’s room. Is it a women’s dormitory? Get punished later.
