Episode 76
“Oh, that jerk Crown Prince, why is he dragging my time too much………!”
If Iker hadn’t held me up as an excuse to talk at the end, I could have returned to the Academy at 2 p.m.
But because of my conversation with him, I had to stay in the Noble State field for about 40 minutes more than other Housekeepers.
After all, I was swearing, changing my clothes at full speed and running for class.
Since I submitted a note of absence, it wouldn’t affect my attendance, and it didn’t matter if I went back to my room and rested.
However, it was a loss to give up classes since I have paid the tuition fees that feels like sucking my blood.
‘Should I not change my clothes?’
But soon I shook my head again.
It was obvious that this fancy dress would attract everyone’s attention.
And when I thought of wearing this clothing while having a practical class, my stomach felt twisted.
It was a nice outfit, but wearing this was like wearing a mustang or tuxedo to an elementary school student’s birthday party.
In the meantime, I arrived at the classroom and carefully opened the door.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to enter the classroom unnoticed.
As soon as the door opened, I made eye contact with the students attending the class, and the professor looked back at me with a slight surprise.
“Ah……sorry… I’m sorry….. I’m… I just got here and…….”
I ran so fast that my lungs felt sore and my head felt dizzy.
The professor said that it was okay with a pitiful face as if he didn’t like me speaking gibberish.
He told me to sit down quickly.
For more,
“Ah.”
As I approached the silhouette, I saw familiar features.
The emerald eyes, dimly moonlit, glowed softly.
“Why are you out at night?”
Rayl asked, with his eyes wide open.
“Oh, I can’t sleep.”
“You can’t sleep? Didn’t you leave early in the morning?”
“Yes.”
“And yesterday’s banquet ended after midnight. There’s no way you can’t sleep.”
I answered his words with a scratch on my head.
“I was worried that I might doze off at a Housekeepers conference, so I picked up a lot of your nutritional supplements and drank it. And I think this is what happened.”
“What? I told you to drink just the right amount.”
Rayl was sensitive to ignoring the dosage and how to take it, perhaps because of his speciality in making magic drugs.
Still, I couldn’t help it because I was desperate enough not to fall asleep the next day.
“You made it anyway, so there will be nothing bad about my body.”
“I made it with only good ingredients, but if it’s too much, it’ll have side effects. Although, I’ve tried to reduce it as much as I can.”
“I don’t know, I’ll just trust you, the magic golden hand. I’m fine except for that I can’t sleep right now anyway.”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
And for a while, the silence sank.
For some reason, as I was still looking at the starry sky, the conversation didn’t come back and forth, and it wasn’t until a few minutes later that Rayl opened his mouth first.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
The moment I looked back at him, I was very surprised.
The way he was laughing and chatting until just now went away, and Rayl, who looked as serious as he was making the magic drugs, was looking at me.
I didn’t know what questions would come out of his mouth.
“How did the Housekeepers meeting feel?”
I looked at his eyes with a clear, strong will, and quietly bit his lips.
