77 77 Acceptance announcement

The exam has been successfully completed.

Everything seems to take a day to grade and process, and the successful candidate will be announced the next day.

I went back to the royal castle once and was excited and waiting for tomorrow's announcement.

And on the day of the acceptance announcement.

I carried my foot to the examination venue yesterday, where I decided to pass or fail.

That's fine, but...

"Eh... isn't that His Highness Nigel?

"Why is His Royal Highness here!?

"Besides, who's next door... to the Duke of Vincent?

"I heard you were in town, but why did His Highness Nigel and the Duke of Vincent come to see the pharmacist pass!?

Everyone around me is upset to see us.

That should be it.

Even though I say it's enough on my own, Nigel and Vincent are coming with me!

Morning.

Um... Nigel. Am I gonna be okay by myself?

What are you talking about? That's all Elaine was trying to do. I'm worried about the results, too. "

Hah, hah......

I remember interacting with him.

Apparently he wants to know the test results as soon as he can and at the same time as I do.

Well, that's fine... let's forgive Nigel for coming with us.

The problem is...

"Ah, um... why is Vincent following me?

"Kuku, don't you think I miss you so much? I had just had time to finish what I did in this city. Can you forgive me for having so much fun?

Vincent smiled happily.

You just wanted to see my depressed face, thinking I must have failed.

Hmm, that's not how it works!

After all, I'm still reasonably confident in the test results.

I'll break your nose!

... that? When I thought about this, I became more and more anxious. What if you fail? On the contrary, Vincent will make a fool of himself.

I'm fine, right?

"Oh, hey. The test results are coming out!

Someone shouted.

Looking at it, some examiners who saw it yesterday showed up and were putting a big piece of paper on the board.

"Ah, you're finally announcing. Nh...? Elaine, why are you looking so worried when you've been so confident?"

"No, that's not true!

"Oh, oh... I see."

Nigel was under a little pressure because I was too loud.

If Vincent hadn't accompanied me, I would have stayed normal!

This one came, and the pace broke down.

"Er, my exam number is 65...."

The number of the successful candidate is written on the paper at random.

When I follow the numbers from above...

"Ah, yes!

I was able to find the number "65."

"You did it! Well, I thought you'd pass."

Nigel would be happy with me.

Hmm... I'm really glad you passed.

This was the first time I had an exam that looked like an exam, so I was thrilled and my heart was about to burst.

And...

"Mr. Vincent."

I instantly poke at him with a pass marked "65".

"Well, now I'm qualified as a pharmacist, too. That's not all, but I'll do it a little bit, right?

……

In my words, Vincent looked strange.

Is that...?

It's not what I thought it would be.

"What are you talking about? If you were me, you'd pass this exam, right?

Heh?

They say things they don't expect, and then they make a strange noise.

"Still... why did you suddenly become a pharmacist? You don't have to do this, you're a splinter."

"No... but when you say, 'You don't deserve to be next to Nigel! because I... want to qualify and give you back."

Ah... I told you.

Wouldn't that be like selling a fight?

But Vincent, surprisingly, enlarged his eyes for a moment.

"Surprised. Was that the cause? I didn't mean to say that."

"Eh... but then..."

"Vince"

When Vincent and I were talking, Nigel broke in from the side.

"What the hell did you say to Elaine?

"I didn't say anything. I heard it was your... ah... I'm just trying to figure out what kind of woman she is."

Ah (...) I think it means "fiancée". Because there are so many people, I can't even say that.

"... you said something misunderstood again."

I was just talking normally.

Vincent had a nasty face.

But he immediately reversed his expression and turned his face towards me.

"In the first place, I heard that she was responsible for the holy water. Thanks to that, I'm saved. Besides, they put a line on the territory. I don't mean to call you incompetent with this. Thank you again and again."

"Over and over again...! I've never heard that before!?

"Was it?

Vincent wrinkles his neck.

Ah, already!

No matter how close you get to Nigel, you don't have to look like this!

But... then why did he say that to me?

When I was confused, Vincent kept stroking his jaw with his hand.

"But at the end, I saw something wonderful. I will be able to return to the territory in a good mood."

"Are you leaving already?

"Oh, I'm leaving town now."

From now on...

It is a place where you can feel relieved if it is originally.

But for some reason, my mind feels restless.

"That's right...."

"Well... it's time for me to get back to the castle and pack my bags. Then you two have fun talking."

At the end, Vincent left us like that.

Watching his back, Nigel slapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"Elaine, I'm sorry. There was a bit of a lack of explanation about Vince. I'm not a bad guy. It's easy to be misunderstood because of lack of explanation....."

"I, no....! Wow, I don't think so!

Though you say so in your mouth, maybe you didn't fully understand him.

"That's right. I tried to tell you yesterday morning... that amulet..."

"Dear Elaine!

When Nigel tried to say something.

The examiners came all at once to us from the venue.

"You were here! I need to talk to you!

"To me?

"Yes! Do you know the pharmacist Bart?

"Er... that kind of name just popped up in the book I read..."

I know that it seems like a pretty famous pharmacist.

"The test questions he made were perfectly correct, and in practice he made holy water! Master Bart wants to praise you for your great work... and he wants to hear about the holy water."

"Uhh!

I can't believe a famous guy like that would praise me... honestly, stop it!

I'm not used to being praised for the sequelae of my time in the kingdom!

Besides... it's going to be a long story. []/(exp, adj-i) heavy/heavy/heavy/heavy/(P)/

"Elaine, let's go."

Nigel shakes my hand like that.

"You don't like this much, do you? Let's get back to the castle."

"Yeah, yeah. That's right."

That's Nigel!

You know me well!

Nigel pulls me away from the examiner.

"Wait, Master Eliane! And Lord Nigel! Just talk to her, please!

The examiners were reaching out, but Nigel wasn't forced to come after him.

I'm so sorry!
