Baby Snake God Medusha (4)
Ersa’s special lecture, which started with basic genetics, was much more practical than expected.
The nobles and prospective aristocrats who entered the classroom learned how to have and not give birth to illegitimate children, and how to determine the possibility of paternity by blood type.
After finishing the class, which was much more difficult than expected, I moved to the club room.
The road leading to the central square was blazing with the heat of summer.
“It’s really midsummer now.”
“Master, let’s go eat shaved ice!”
“Please wait a moment, Persia-sama. I’ll go to the club room and make it right away.”
“Yeah? Maybe…”
Sylvia, who was next to him, spoke softly, and Persia fluttered her tail and was thrilled.
Probably because it is cumbersome and wasteful to eat at the dessert shop every time, he bought the ingredients.
Originally, procuring ice is the most troublesome thing… but we can make it any number of times.
Sylvia, who reached the club room to escape the heat, quickly summoned ingredients such as syrup, condensed milk, rice cakes and jelly to the tea table she used to use.
Persia, who was running wild next to her, made fine ice at her request.
Not long after the shaved ice was completed, Christine and Maria entered at just the right time.
There is little free time on Mondays, but I think I came in to cool off even a little sweat.
Before Maria closed the door, a cat she had always seen rushes in.
“Hello Louise. Oh, is that shaved ice?”
“Yeah, if it’s okay with you…”
“Of course we’re fine.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just like Medusha, Christine, who is weak in heat, gladly intervened without even pretending to decline.
It’s been a long time since everyone was wearing summer clothes, so the proportion of skin color has significantly increased.
I noticed it again as I poured shaved ice to Eolin, who had her paws on the crippled table.
There were a lot of people, but there were only a few bowls, so it naturally became crowded.
“Ah, don’t push!”
“I’m sorry, but a little…”
“Hey, I think it’s much better than selling them because they’re generous with ingredients!”
“It is an honour.”
In an instant, a few spoonfuls of shaved ice disappeared from the table that had become a battlefield.
Although I regained my appetite a little, I did not say that I wanted to eat more.
We haven’t even had lunch yet.
Thanks to the shaved ice, Christine has cooled down a bit, and is belatedly glancing at me.
I wondered if the Ice Castle had not told her yet…
There is no sign of questioning me anymore.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the field practice, so I’m sure you’ve already heard it through other channels.
Didn’t Eolin, who was on my lap right away, participate in the search for the seals?
She turned her head slightly to avoid my eyes, and spoke small but clearly.
“Thank you, Louise. I only heard about it last weekend, and my father really liked it. Dismantling the seal is one of our family’s long-cherished dreams…”
“It was nothing.”
Trying not to be too pretentious, I replied briefly, but I was already caught giggling.
I asked Eolin with a satisfied expression on her face.
“Professor, didn’t you say anything after the report was over?”
“From the point of view of the academy, there is no reluctance to discuss whether it is good or bad… I don’t know what the royal family will think of it.”
I was a little nervous about her explanation, but… Seeing that she hasn’t said anything so far, I think I can be relieved.
In fact, it was all calculated and committed.
The royal family and Eshas can never punish me and the White House.
Anyway, since the seals have been dismantled and expenses have been reduced, life in the Ice Citadel will noticeably improve.
At that moment, Christine, who thought the same as me, said something. Summons, including Medusha, harassed Sylvia.
“Let’s eat one more bowl of shaved ice.”
“Yeah, going to a restaurant in this weather is a job…”
“… master?”
“You can’t skip meals.”
I also want to skip lunch like a chimney, but a guy named Summoner can’t break the rules by taking the lead.
If I do not set an example, the discipline of the summons will collapse at a startling speed.
As the words came out, they escaped the club room with the guys struggling in agony.
As we opened the tightly closed door, the warm air greeted us.
It’s even more terrifying because I’ve been enjoying air conditioning just before.
It was only for a moment that he crossed the campus pretending not to hear the cries of the summoned beasts.
In the distance, familiar music resounded, and all the students walking down the street knelt on one knee.
I followed them half-intuitively, just in case.
Elena, who was next to her, looked almost fainting.
“I hope you will come to the academy…”
“Dracor Kingdom’s Guardian…”
Eshas appeared with titles that are now a bit boring.
As usual, she hurriedly approached us, accompanied by an attendant so that her hair would not be dragged.
Because of his short height, his legs are not considered very long, but… as if he were sliding on the floor.
Still, it is a spectacle that it does not appear to be in a hurry.
It is likely that they are only mimicking walking while moving with magic.
“Raise your head! It’s hard for both the person who greets each time and the person who receives it. Sooner or later, I should give you a medal of honor…”
Eshas woke us up from the start by babbling nonsense.
If it is a medal of honor, it is a much rarer award than any noble title.
If I’m not mistaken, there is only one Westwall Marginal who currently owns it.
Persia, unable to understand what she had just said, tilted her head and asked a very small question.
It doesn’t look like he’s really curious about stabbing me hard with his front paws.
“Master. What kind of decorations are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“The person who received the Medal of Honor does not have to kneel in front of Eshas and the royal family. It is the most prestigious medal in the kingdom.”
“Aha!”
“Okay. Today’s question ends with this. Now you have to be quiet until it’s over. Okay?”
While warning Persia to prevent an accident, Essha and Elena’s greetings ended.
Baekryong, who smiled warmly at me, quickly moved to his seat.
“It’s hard to stand in this heat. Were you on your way to the restaurant? It’s fine. Let’s have lunch together.”
“Wow, it’s an honor.”
The reason Esshas visited the academy was obvious.
As I shudder, chewing my tongue in my mouth, she picks one more out of the party.
I was able to guess its identity without even turning my head.
“The successor of White. Will you join us?”
“How dare I be with the Guardian Dragon…”
“Don’t be shy. I’m here to talk with you today.”
Instead of refusing as a courtesy, Christine was genuinely disliked.
However, when Essha offered such a suggestion, I couldn’t resist refusing it.
We went to the restaurant with her as if bitten by a dragon’s mouth.
Eshas, who was provided with the entire private room for the dean’s meal, immediately takes a seat and defeats the servants.
“Come back, you guys. Eat the same food as the other students.”
“…”
As the servants who silently bowed their heads left, Baekryong smiled at me and Christine.
Elena, who suddenly got caught between us, doesn’t know what to do.
I barely stretched out my back, thinking if I could eat us right here, and then, suddenly, Eshas’ head fell down.
Feeling cold in the spine.
She blinked, wondering if she had seen something wrong, but she still had her head bowed slightly.
“Eh, Esha-sama?”
“I feel like it’s too late, but I really want to apologize to the White family. I should’ve paid more attention sooner…”
“Yes? That, like that…”
While Christine is shaking violently.
Elena, noticing the other’s intentions, grabbed her hand and made her come to her senses.
The guardian dragon of the kingdom pretended not to know it and calmly apologized.
There is only one reason why Esshas apologizes rather than criticizes us.
Because the case is already over.
Blaming the White family and me for dismantling the northern seals at will is by no means a good idea.
It may be a moment of anger, but from a political point of view, an act that is no less than suicide.
This is the worst number of times to turn Elcloud, White, and the Welttern family into their enemies.
Didn’t even the ice castle lord secretly reveal the intention of rebellion?
Of course, Eshas wasn’t stupid enough to start a civil war right now.
She chose the current action by judging soberly, completely excluding her emotions.
The White House already got what they wanted.
For Eshas, there is no need to pay or do anything to White, so it’s best to take care of them again.
Slowly raising her head, she began making excuses like an apology.
“The reason why the seals of Ice and Snow Hell have been neglected until now is because I was immoral. Ten years ago, the royal family opposed the dismantling of the seals, but I want you to know that it was only the result of worrying about the North.”
At that moment, Christine, who read Esshas’s true intentions, blushed slightly.
Actually, that sounds right.
Destroying the owner of the seal is a very risky business.
If it hadn’t been for me and the Demon King to help, the Northern Knights would have been quite injured in the last operation.
Of course, the ice castle lord decided that it would be beneficial in the long run to get rid of the seals nonetheless.
If the White House, who is responsible for the security of the Ice and Snow Hell, gets hurt, the entire kingdom is in danger.
Eshas continued the logic that he was worried about it and rejected the White family’s request.
He would have made the same excuse a decade ago.
At that time, the question of whether providing military support was the meaning of the existence of the Dracor royal family rose up to the throat…
Is it possible that I would dare to speak in a situation where Christine is still still?
Eshas continued his brazen voice without shame.
“Edwin and I are very happy thanks to you guys. The White Prince of this generation is definitely different. Now that Westwall Marquee is a little older, your father is the kingdom’s strongest summoning swordsman.”
Christine smiles hard.
Eshas decided to pay even a small bonus to the North.
The amount itself is not much, but it has a great meaning in that the last operation was recognized.
If you give a reward in this way, you will not be able to blame it until you have to blame it later.
‘I will close my eyes to the fact that you dismantled the seals at will. I won’t take issue with it later. So I want unchanging loyalty.’
I heard Essha’s words like this.
At least, I can feel the minimal sincerity in that it has raised the White family’s face.
As I refrain from talking because it is not a place where I can dare to say anything, Christine, who has just gathered her thoughts, comes up with an answer that will satisfy the other party.
“Wow, I don’t know how to bask in undeserved praise. The northern part will continue to belong to Esha-nim and the Dracor royal family.”
“The same goes for El Cloud.”
Eshas, who had obtained a very new oath of allegiance, smiled broadly and began to taste the food brought by the servants.
Not only did they allow the dismantling of the seals even belatedly, but they even gave us a bonus to reassure us.
Also a genius politician.
but. If it were simply a powerful white dragon, it would not have been able to protect the Millennium Kingdom until now.
While enjoying an uncomfortable meal time with her, the door to the private room suddenly opened and a familiar-looking man entered.
This was originally the dean’s dining room.
So it’s only natural for him to show up.
I know that Essha took the lead in the first place, but I wonder if there is anyone else brave enough to get in.
Facing the dean with a long beard, Eshas smiled sincerely, unlike before.
The dean expressed his respect and joy for the kingdom’s guardian dragon in one word.
“Give me money.”
“It’s been a long time. How many years has it been since we met so close?”
“Okay, please give me the support. Why is the amount of support increasing every year, but the amount of support is decreasing?”
“That’s because even if you reduce it every year, where do you get it?”
“Profit… If you keep doing this, you won’t be able to find my successor.
The dean, who was terrified, sat between us and Eshas and acted as a barrier.
Thanks to the appearance of the uneasy reinforcements, we proceeded with a more pleasant meal.
