59 – The Academy’s clock turns (1)

The lady and her friends gathered in the lady’s room and enjoyed simple refreshments in the living room to talk about the future. . Aclus must have been at a tea party for the first time, and his eyes were sparkling, and he was impressed for the first time after drinking the easy-to-eat milk tea.

“It’s delicious…”

“Senior, is this your first time having a tea party? Then you probably haven’t eaten anything like this. Hurry up and try it.”

Nefeli smiled and passed the cookie she was holding to her mouth. She trembled at the sweetness as she opened her mouth and ate the candy she handed to her.

“Really…Delicious…It’s my first time…”

Since she is the smallest among those sitting at the table, she looked like a child who hadn’t even entered the academy.

She shuddered at the Kan Ker family for turning a child who was delighted with a common snack at the market into a madman obsessed with swords and swords.

Is it okay to break her own blood? Or did she think that since she was raised that way, she had no problem? In her bitter heart, she brought out the sweets and incomparable foods sold in her market and gave them to her.

“…Is this?”

“This is a famous muffin from Milky Way Bakery. And this is a chocolate cake sold at our academy shop. My lady especially likes it.”

“I don’t think we need to talk about that.”

As the lady next to her poked her side with her finger, her body flinched and almost lost the other piece of bread she was holding. She barely straightened her posture and opened her mouth again.

“These scones were about to be eaten while standing in line with the lady the other day. They go well with milk tea, so try them together.”

“…Yeah…Thank you…”

Everyone laughed as he held the last scone introduced with both hands as if it were a valuable item and stuffed the leftover scone into Maparam’s mouth as if he were hiding his eyes.

Among them, Regula smiled bitterly and her eyes became moist. Are the tears welling up in those eyes guilt or relief? Her heart, only she knows.

She poured black tea into her empty teacup, she said.

“It’s not too late.”

“…Yes…”

“Please help my lady a lot. When making things, it’s better to start with a little bit of blueprint than a blank slate. You’ll need everything from Aklus-sama’s past to miscellaneous things about the Kanker family.”

“I will cooperate in anything. Even if it is necessary to… Kill people, I will not hesitate…”

She was wiping the tears from her eyes and examining the tea. Regula’s face, reflected in her red tea, looked like a face full of blood.

“You don’t have to go that far. She just needs to be with her like her real sisters again.”

Regula turned her head to look at me, and her crimson face in her tea also disappeared. Instead, her head tilted as she frowned.

“…Did I ever say that I used to be with Aklus like her real sisters?”

My damn cube. I hurriedly found an excuse.

“I told you because it looked like that… But I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”

“No, I’m not questioning you, I didn’t even dream it would look like that…I just asked if I ever told you that, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

She smiled lightly and drank the tea I poured for her. In her novel, when she was in the 6th grade, that is, when she was 20 years old, she heard everything about Aklus and was overcome with guilt and anger.

I remembered an episode like that when I was about to collapse while being covered in blood by the knights, the main character’s party arrived and the shame of the Kanker family was revealed.

Although it was me who was taken by surprise, the young lady’s choice changed the future of the two.

If I had left it to Regula’s choice and sent her letter of protest and sent Aklus back to her family, she would have been ruined more miserably, and Regula would have been covered in blood again.

As I looked at the young lady’s face with a delicate feeling, I met my gaze while wiping the chocolate from Aclus’ mouth. When I looked at him saying that this was the right choice, the young lady opened her mouth with her dark eyes.

“What are you staring at? Hurry up and bring more. Senior ate all of them, so we have nothing to eat.”

When he handed me a large plate, he sighed and went to the kitchen.

“…What can I do, butler…I brought it to you several times, but you have already eaten it every time…”

“Oh my God… It looks like we’ve had a magic spell that absorbs bread and snacks.”

Originally, it was difficult at first, and thanks to Aklus, who eats bread and snacks at random, saying that the habit he acquired later was scary, when he saw the empty storage box, he laughed.

The storage box, which had been filled enough for a month if the lady ate it, was quickly cleared by one person. It was unbelievable that so much food had gone into Aclus, who had the smallest body.

“That’s why it’s revealed there that women have separate stomachs for dessert.”

“…What does the butler think of our pears?”

Miss Ruitena is glaring at you. She ran away from those bloody eyes and went to the living room to tell them that her locker was empty.

“Wouldn’t it be a little better if there were seniors you knew in the second year? How are your classes, seniors?”

“I wouldn’t be able to go to class. It wasn’t that bad in the beginning of the freshman year… But it got worse after summer break…”

“You managed to make me go to the academy.”

“I…I didn’t let you go…”

“That’s right, Shaula. Don’t do that to Regula-senpai too much.”

The lady, Shaula, and Regula were drinking tea and talking about the direction of their future work, while Aklus was putting the bread Nefeli had handed over into his mouth.

“Is it delicious, senpai? Aren’t you full?”

“It’s delicious…The pear…Just okay…”

I almost smiled at the casual conversation, considering it was a tea party held between the pillars of the empire. He erased his smile and stood in front of them with a serious expression, bowing his head.

“Everyone, I’m sorry, but I’m running out of black tea and side dishes, so I’ll hurry up and get them. Could you wait a bit?”

“…Did I…Eat…A lot?”

Yes, I ate a lot.

I couldn’t bear to say that, so I shook my head and told a nice lie.

“It was our mistake that we should have filled it while we bought it on our way here, but we took a little time and couldn’t fill it. We will start right away.”

“Come slowly, we have a lot to talk about and we still have the car.”

“No, I think we should go back sooner. Aren’t the speed at which Aklus eats snacks a joke?”

As I left the room, thinking that I should go at a moderate speed due to the conflicting opinions of Shaula and Nepheli, the lady followed me.

“Let’s go together. I’ve always wanted to see with my own eyes what the academy sells. I’ve always been curious.”

“Just tell me and I’ll buy it…”

“You won’t be bored if you go alone. And you saw Aklus-senpai eating. You might need my hand as I have to buy a lot.”

The young lady held out her hands as if to patronize her. A Japanese proverb, “Borrowing a cat’s hand,” Came to mind, so I smiled and held the lady’s hand.

“Thank you for your willingness to lend a hand.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Think of it as an honor.”

The two of us laughed at each other’s conversation and naturally walked hand in hand as we walked down the hallway to buy some snacks.

“It’s really noisy as soon as vacation ends.”

“I see. I was only going to meet Shaula and Nepheli and say hello.”

“I expected that too. I was attacked by Aklus-sama out of the blue, and I never dreamed that something like this would happen. Ah, how did the young lady know where I am?”

“Ah, if that’s the case, I saw Nefeli fighting with a senior on the way for a while and ran to tell her. I was told that it looked dangerous, so I didn’t even have time to change clothes and went with only my sword…”

She was scratching her face with her other hand, perhaps remembering the clothes she was wearing back then. Now that she has changed her clothes, she is wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt, a thin ivory-colored vest, and a knee-length white skirt, giving off a neat and innocent look.

I had to hold back a laugh compared to the lady wearing a simple T-shirt, shorts like dolphin pants, and my shoes.

“…I thought I had shoes on my clothes earlier.”

A ghost is a ghost. How did you know

“No.”

“Look straight into my eyes.”

“…I didn’t think so.”

I hurriedly got out of the lady’s hands and ran away.

“Hey! There!”

Would you stand if you were a lady? We were able to stop only after running through the hallways and hearing the scolding of Karina-san, the head of the dormitory.

After Mr. Karina scolded her for a while, when she couldn’t see her, the lady pinched her arm.

Ouch!

“I’m gone.”

“I’m gone.”

“Got it.”

“…Sweets…”

When Europa and Sirius went outside to buy snacks, all three of the people at the table said the same thing. Aclus was the only one looking at the empty plate, showing only gloomy eyes in an expressionless state.

“I wonder what happened to those two on vacation. I’m going crazy.”

“I don’t think there was any progress.”

“Wouldn’t you have slept in the same bed again during vacation? Confessing while looking at the constellations on a summer night…”

“The two of them are so good… No, if you leave the senior alone and see the two of them fall into their own world, there might be a possibility…”

“…What are you talking about?”

Regula asked the two of them with a face of ignorance, Shaulla’s face turned around and she looked at Regula with her characteristic terrifying eyes. Fell behind her

“What do you think, Regula-sama, about the two of you? No matter how you look at it, you don’t think it’s a normal master-servant relationship, do you?”

“That…That’s…”

“Regula-senpai would have noticed. An attendant is going to buy something, and the owner will follow.

“That… That’s why…”

Regula stuttered her words as she hurriedly covered up the blush that was clearly visible on her copper skin. She had no thoughts about her relationship, and she had no immunity, so she was taken aback by the story of her dating someone else.

I just thought of the relationship between the two as a simple but more intimate master-servant relationship. The relationship between a more loyal and strong butler and an owner who trusts such a butler.

As her dead-end reality approached her while thinking of such a fantastic relationship, her head was becoming overloaded.

“…Cake…”

While she was still staring at her plate, licking the remaining cream on her fork, her Louis Thena handed her a piece of her whipped cream cake.

“This is the last cake left. Master Aklus. I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

“…Thank you…”

She took a bite of her cake, looked at her with her slightly surprised eyes, as if she had been handed her one and only strawberry in her cake, and nodded her head.

“Delicious…The most…Delicious…”

“It’s fortunate. Since that piece is the last one, please enjoy it slowly, savoring the taste. The butler and the young lady will be back soon.”

“…Yeah…Thank you…”

Her eyes flashed with satisfaction as she let go of her pressure, giving her an awkward smile and her hand holding her as she was about to leave.

To be exact, when she carefully turned her head as she grabbed both of her hands, Shaula drooling over her saliva with eyes like a hyena looking for her corpse to bite at, and Nefeli showing an evil smile. I broke out in a cold sweat because I didn’t look normal.

“Do you… Need anything?”

“Please sit down for a moment. I have a question for you.”

“I’m not preying on you, so sit down, quickly.”

Thanks to the two men’s threats, not threats, Ruitena sat down at the table. Just as I was longing in my heart for Sirius and Europa to arrive early, a question came up.

“Did you say Louis Tena? Since when did she start to attend Miss Europa?”

“She has been serving the young lady ever since she returned to her mansion. She is still not enough, so she is being taken over by the butler.”

“Well, let’s get down to the main point without discussing details. Europa and Sirius. What do you think of the relationship between these two?”

When Nefeli asked her straight forward, Ruy Thena’s eyes changed as she slowly opened her mouth with an expression of “Did you just miss it?”

“…Can I be honest with you?”

“Yes. We want that too.”

“Can’t you tell the lady and the butler what I said?”

“Don’t worry. We just want to hear from Ruitena.”

“Whoa…Then let me tell you…Is it really a secret?”

“Should I swear by the name of the constellation right now? As you can see, I swore in front of Miss Europa once, but it doesn’t matter.”

When I showed her the scorpion mark carved on her own neck, she nodded and took a deep breath. Her Louis Tena’s expression changed drastically and her nervous look disappeared.

Two people gulping her saliva at the sudden change in her mood, two people staring at her face, Regula turning her head but keeping her ears open, and cutting off her cake little by little as if she were going to eat it all day A strange tension flowed between the eating Aclus.

“If it’s just the two of you without me, sesame seeds will pour out. Do you know how frustrating it is to hear that I haven’t crossed the line yet and haven’t crossed the line yet? I thought people got along faintly, but they still aren’t dating! We make big mistakes with each other, fight, and make up and stick together! Why aren’t we dating! That! I’ve been watching it for a whole month! I don’t know what to do with those dating eunuchs. I can’t feel it!”

The faucet, once burst, continued to flow without stopping. When her expression as she vented her anger turned into a tear-stained face, Shaulah told her to calm down, and Nefeli patted her on the back as if she understood.

When Regula heard the story of Sirius and Europa, her ears turned red and her heart pounded. Her girlish sensibility that she wants to have a sweet relationship like that began to bloom.

Louie Tena weeps as she vents her anger. Shaula ponders as he wipes away her tears. Nefeli sympathizes with her Louis Thena and her tears begin to sting. And Regula, who grabbed her chest, pounding her self-indulgently.

Aclus, who finished eating the cake between the chaotic tables, murmured as he put his fork in his mouth.

“…The two of you…When are you coming?”

We were only waiting for Europa and Sirius, who had become Hamheung Chasa.
