Chapter 109 – You must not follow a suspicious man.
Princess Anastasia’s heartbreaking recollections were as follows.
This morning is the first day of the Harvest Festival. As usual, she said, until she was waited on by the maids who were always on standby, dressed in an eye-catching dress, and put on gorgeous makeup, she was so excited about the day that she even forgot that she had had a bad night’s sleep.
From her perspective, her Today’s Department booth activity was probably a form of harmony with her peers, something that few people have had in her life, and which she would not be able to enjoy without caution except at this time. Whether she liked it or not, there was no way she couldn’t understand the status of a princess who was born to be different from the ordinary.
However, when asked if she really needed a dress or makeup since she was going to dress up as a ghost, Anastasia also answered with a sour expression.
She said, “She took on the role of a ghost and was scolded by her maids. She barely convinced me, but she still insisted that I wear makeup and decorations. The authority of the imperial family is declining or something….”
Anyway, it is said that she overcame many hardships and managed to reach the undergraduate building, wearing accessories worth more than paying for a couple of fancy mansions in a lump sum. And in the middle of the classroom, where her preparations were in full swing, she ran into Cecilia, whom she couldn’t help but love.
Anastasia, who had decided that she had begun to strengthen her friendship again through the commotion of the last date and Ran’s celebration party, swallowed her nervousness and gathered courage.
“hehehe, Miss Cecilia. You are here. “Good morning.”
She is said to have turned on her princess mode switch and approached Cecilia.
“The weather is nice today. If it’s too sunny, the haunted house may be less scary. I need to do a little more work on the blackout curtains. “I’ll take a look.”
“…… Hello, princess. “Did you sleep well last night?”
“…… Yes? Ah yes. Sure.”
“You seem to be in a good mood. Fortunately, the.”
“……….”
With those words, it is said that Cecilia disappeared somewhere with her gun.
I heard the laughable story that Anastasia, who was so shocked, turned to ice and could not do anything until a classmate who was watching her in cold sweat next to her trembled and spoke to her. I stopped talking to her.
“Wait a minute. Hey.”
“What is it? “We’ve been talking for a while!”
“What’s strange?”
“What is it?”
“No, I heard Cecilia said, ‘You look in a good mood.’ Is that something to be so shocked about? “Isn’t it a bit harsh for her to be so happy that she freezes no matter how much greeting she gets?”
“I was so happy when I heard that that I froze… ?”
Anastasia stared at me blankly, as if she had no clue.
“…… “You don’t even understand the context of the situation, let alone understand it.”
“What are you talking about? If you notice, it’s me, Eugene Seo Nepel…… “
“Ha, I really can’t even look at Cecilia’s face anymore.”
She buried her face in her knees.
“It’s because of you…” . You could say it a little differently…. It was because of His Majesty’s orders, or… Well, there are a lot of excuses. You’re good at making excuses too… But why did you do that….”
“I was just telling the truth. By the way, you made up an excuse… “It doesn’t matter what happens to the emperor, but does it matter if the emperor’s name is forged like that?”
“That’s something I can take care of…”
My honest excuse is that I didn’t know things would turn out like this, but I quickly decided that I wouldn’t get my money’s worth if I said anything more, so I kept quiet.
“That… What. Let me say it again to Cecilia. “I guess he misunderstood something.”
“Don’t talk about Cecilia like that! Good boy! How would I feel in that girl’s shoes! “I’ve been pretending not to be interested, but it’s no wonder I’ve been thinking of you as a fox-like b*tch who’s been hanging out with you lately!”
“The fox must be Cecilia, a member of the fox family.”
“Profit!”
“I’m just a bad guy, right. “Anyway, even if you take sides, you’ll end up in trouble.”
When I pressed Anastasia’s forehead with my index finger as she ran at me with her nails, she slipped down helplessly and hit her head on the ground. Stumbling like a zombie.
“So you’re not going to keep doing anything here?”
“………… “
The moment I thought there would be no answer, Anastasia jumped up from her seat.
She muttered grimly, her soul having been sucked out of her face.
“… No… no. I have to go play the role of a ghost. I just came out to get some air. See you later, Master.”
Surprise…
It really looks like some kind of monster, so I hope you don’t do that while dressed up.
But, well, he is solid for now.
I patted her shoulder a couple of times without saying a word.

When I was left alone, there was nothing I could do. I decided to go back to the college building and deliver the chairman’s instructions, but without thinking deeply, I changed direction.
I happened to find an associate professor in the main building. He was sitting on a creaky chair, sullenly watching the students in the student council, complaining about why he was here now. His name, unfortunately, I have forgotten. I heard that because of his protruding mouth, students called him Professor Squirt.
I wonder why he always looks upset, and I heard that he has a huge inferiority complex towards Fernandez, who is of a similar age… It is questionable whether Fernandez is actually aware of his existence.
Anyway, it must have been fate that we met now. I didn’t feel the need to go up the stairs and meet the dean of the department, so I went straight out and gave him a brief message.
“What? “The chairman told us to patrol?”
“Yes, they say that something like the Eunwol Festival should not be repeated. They tell us to divide each department into separate areas and patrol the barriers. Of course, if there is a raiser, you have to catch it.”
“It’s simple. Neferna. “You can do it.”
What are you telling me to do? .
Excluding myself, who is a part-time instructor, this person is actually the youngest person in the department. Normally, this kind of chore should be done by this person. Are you saying this to me, who is just a contract worker? If you are sincere in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you must be aware of your own position and be obedient and loyal. But on the days when you are told to do something from above, you get all kinds of hysterical, and I heard that even the head of the department is going through a lot of trouble.
“It’s not possible because it’s a rotation system. If you break it, the chairman will personally beat you up. “If you are confident, I will go.”
“Is this also a turn system? … It’s annoying….”
“Then please pass this on to others~”
“Me? Hey! Where! “You have to deliver it!”
“I have to go on patrol. I’m busy.”
“Why are you the first?! Hey! Hey!!! …… Ha, sh*t! “Why are all the guys who come in these days like that?”
I hope you will slowly realize that you are the epitome of those ‘those who come in these days’.
If you ask me, you can become a part-time instructor.
The students who were looking at us smiled bitterly and greeted me.
I also responded with a short glance.
You guys are having a hard time too.

So I started taking a walk under the pretense of patrolling. Even if it’s called patrol, there’s nothing special about it. All you have to do is hold in your hand the special pepper, pine needle-scented, boom boom mint chocolate ice cream that is on sale at the next undergraduate club, and take a quick look at the fragile auxiliary staff along the fenced outskirts.
Hmm, it’s mint chocolate after all. The exquisite combination of peppercorns, which have a pungent scent, is also excellent. As I was about to savor the last bite, a familiar young man standing awkwardly under the tree caught my eye.
I patted Ignis on the back. He pretended not to be that surprised.
“Uh, Professor.”
“Hmm? Ignis, it’s been a while. “What are you doing in a place like this?”
“I have an appointment, so I’m walking around here and there.”
“It looks very suspicious for someone waiting for an appointment. I can’t do this here. “There was an order from the chairman to catch anyone who raised a hand.”
“Hmm… “How about that person over there rather than me?”
Ignis continued, pointing his finger over his shoulder.
“I just found it, but the atmosphere seemed a bit dangerous, so I tried to help if I could.”
I was able to recognize Lin and Rani first. The two siblings seemed to be enjoying the Academy Festival, holding each other’s hands in a unique way.
Until I run into a suspicious man wearing a strange coat and mask.
The reason I almost fell down holding the back of my neck on the spot was because I immediately recognized that the masked man was none other than Fedonandez, a member of the Freya Lovers. Why is it being installed over there under the guise of Fedonandez and not Professor Fernandez?
“Ha… ha… Baby angels… I know of a delicious snack stand nearby… Oh my… “Would you like to go with you?”
That crazy bastard is finally doing something. I let the kids out thinking they would be safe inside the school, but this was my mistake.
Lin Yi’s signature Phantasm is an illusion magic that is superior to its age. She would have liked to have immediately overloaded Pedandes’ brain and made it explode, but we good children were still guilty of being too pure-hearted to understand Pedandes’s distorted emotions.
“Hello! Brother! Are you lost? “We will guide you!”
“Oh… brother… ? Wow… !”
Pedonandez collapsed on the spot, bleeding from his nose underneath his mask. I was crying. It would be correct to say that it was not a nasal blood vessel but a broken aorta.
“No…” Can not be done…. Wake up, Pedonandes. You are Freya’s faithful servant. “It can’t collapse like this.”
“Wow, do you know Freya?”
“Hmm, of course. Little girl. I don’t know if you remember, but I met Freya and the little girl together. Luckily, I got to see this cute little master here today. hehehe, you won’t believe it.”
“No, I believe it! And remember! You suddenly appeared on stage during the Eunwol Festival! And there are no bad adults among Freya’s friends! That’s right, Ran!”
“……… Yes….”
“Cough…” ! Ha… My faith… ! For Freya… Buried… ! Fresh emotions! Ha!! Heaven! How could you put me through this ordeal… !”
…… I can’t do it anymore.
“Hey, Ignis.”
“Why?”
“Please clean up ‘that’, kids.”
And then I fiddled with the mask of the leader of the group that I had hidden in my arms.
