Book 4: Chapter 15: Academy Festival

After subduing the Inhuman Club, Lilith went back to the headquarters of the disciplinary committee with Kieran.

As for the aftermath, Lilith left a large bag of gold coins for the members of the Inhuman Club for the repairs because she couldn’t be bothered to do any of it herself. The amount of gold coins she left behind were more than enough to build ten of the same building, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

She opened the door to the president’s office. Diana was seated behind her desk awaiting Lilith’s return, not at all surprised.

“As expected, you were able to subdue the Inhuman Club so quickly. What a great surprise it is.”

“I’m the one who is surprised to find that the news has reached you this quickly, president. I actually came back directly without wasting any time.”

Diana brushed it off and handed Lilith a badge with a special sword symbol on it.

“You’re officially the vice president of the disciplinary committee now. This badge is the symbol of your status, make sure you don’t lose it.”

“Okay,” Lilith took the badge. “Then what exactly should I do as a vice president?”

“You don’t know?”

“Am I supposed to?”

“I guess you’re the first in this academy to become a vice president without first knowing what you should do.”

Diana pointed to the door on the right. “That’s your office. Open it up and you’ll know what you should do as the vice president.”

Lilith suddenly had a bad premonition.

She slowly pushed the door open and was greeted by the sight of an office that wasn’t inferior to the president’s office. Although it was an extremely spacious room, it had a rather depressive atmosphere.

The source was probably the piles of various documents that were stacked to the ceiling. They certainly had a... rather strong presence in the room.

“W-What... are these?”

Lilith’s voice trembled.

“Ahh, can’t help it. Since the position of vice president has been vacant for several months, the tasks that required attention started piling up quite a bit.”

“You’re calling this ‘a bit’? I think your definition of ‘a bit’ is rather questionable.”

Looking at those documents that were piled up like small mountains made Lilith want to escape for the very first time.

Diana rubbed her neck and averted her gaze.

“Well, generally speaking, the vice president’s job is to assist me in some matters. After all, this academy is huge, I can’t do everything alone.”

“Are you sure it is assisting you instead of doing it for you?”

“O-Of course it is to assist me. Even if it’s me, I wouldn’t have piled everything up from the previous semester until now just because of the semester break, much less pushing my work to the newly appointed vice president just because I want to go to the academy festival. Yup, these are all the tasks that the vice president should handle.”

Diana nodded and said firmly.

Stareeee~

“Umm... Lilith... M-Master...” Kieran was suddenly acting all shy and speaking very respectfully.

“What is it?”

“Your humble servant, I, have a date with my girlfriend tonight... Can... you lend me that illusion gem?”

“What are you talking about? Lend you?”

“C-Can... you?”

“Of course not! You are my secretary, Kieran!! It’s just an illusion gem, how could I possibly lend you?” Lilith fished out the gem, then shoved it into Kieran’s arms.

“It’s yours now!”

“Huuuuh? For real?”

“Of course. I never lie.”

Kieran nearly burst into tears. This was the first time he realized that Lilith wasn’t such a devil.

Lilith patted him on his shoulder. “Alright, get to work. Your girlfriend will be mad if you’re late.”

“Got it! I’ll definitely... Huuuh... what work?”

“What work?” Lilith turned her head around adorably. “Dealing with these documents of course. Isn’t that the job of a secretary?”

“Why would it be?! Isn’t that your job?!”

“Is it?”

Lilith scratched her head in distress. “That’s kind of troublesome. I don’t want to touch these headache-inducing stuff. Oh well, I don’t care as long as someone can deal with these troublesome stuff. I have high hopes on you, Kieran~”

Kieran fist trembled with the illusion gem in it, as it finally dawned on him that he had completely fallen into Lilith’s trap.

“Ah, by the way,” Lilith added with a smile, “If you dare to sneak out without finishing this, then you will no longer be Kieran (♂), but Kiera (♀) for the rest of your life.”

“.........”

As expected, this person named Lilith is truly a devil!

.........

Lilith headed straight to the dorm, but found many places on her way back completely different than they were in the morning.

Lights and colored banners were everywhere, giving the places a festive atmosphere.

Students were seen traveling through the usually deserted paths. Everyone’s face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

When Lilith was back at the dorms, Thea seemed to have heard about the festival from elsewhere and was already fully charged up for it.

Before Lilith could even sit down to take a break, she was pulled by an excited Thea to the academy festival along with Brea, who was never fond of strangers.

A burst of brilliant fireworks rose in the distance, announcing the official opening of the St. Caroline Academy Festival.
