Chapter 262 - Dean’s Office Is in the Duke’s Castle... Are You Afraid?

"Thank you very much, Phyllis-sensei. I'm considering going to the Dean's office immediately to ask about it in detail, can you do it?"

"I understand. I will contact Dean so please wait for a while."

The matter of appointment was settled after my train of thought returned to myself and I conveyed my intention to Phyllis-sensei. She's really a big help.

"My bad, Rina. It seems this is going to take a bit longer. I was thinking if we shift today's work to tomorrow, so you can一一"

"No. I will come with you, please let me accompany you. Of course, we will study once this matter is done."

Seeing the situation, I felt bad to keep her for longer so I was about to propose shifting today's schedule to tomorrow but I was interrupted immediately.

It seems she has decided to tag along till the end. Is she not afraid of visiting the dean's office?

I don't even remember how many times I have intruded in the dean's office in game, so I was fine but I expected normal students to be more afraid of visiting the dean's office. She sure has nerves of steel.

Phyllis-sensei returned back as I was thinking about it.

"I have contacted Dean. He just happened to be in his office so he doesn't mind your visit."

"Thank you very much, Phyllis-sensei. We're leaving right away."

"Alright. Try not to be rude, okay?"

I immediately shifted my legs to walk towards the dean's office after safely reserving my appointment.

"Err, I have something I have to ask Zephyr-san."

"Hm? Sure, go ahead. if it's something I know, I’ll tell you."

On the way, Rina asked so while having a troubled expression so I adopted the stance to listen.

"Then, I will take upon your offer. Where's the dean's office? It's my first visit so I don't know."

I almost slipped down. So she didn't know!

According to Rina, she was frantically training for the manifestation condition from the day she had entered till the fateful day, so she never got the chance to look around the academy's facilities etc.

She had received the tour of the academy once but of course, it was impossible to memorize everything about this mammoth of a labyrinth academy in just one tour.

Furthermore, she more so didn't feel like doing that due to how depressed she was ever since the classes began.

Hmm, that's understandable, I guess?

I beckoned Rina to come, who was standing not far from here.

Inside, there was a magnificent hall. The atrium extends to the fourth floor, and a magnificent chandelier shines in the center of the atrium.

Amazing. It was my first time seeing a chandelier in person, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The beauty of it was just as astounding. I think even games didn't have such an impact at that time; it had looked like just another part of the scenery in that.

"Zephyr-san, they're here to invite us."

"Hm?"

It wasn't until Rina called out to me that I came to my senses and saw a woman in a suit standing in front of me.

She gave the impression of a neat and cool beauty.

"You must be Zephyr-sama and Ekaterina-sama, right? Please wait in this room for a while."

"You don't need to do that."

"... Feudal lord-sama."

A voice echoed from the second floor just as the cool secretary-san was about to guide us.

When I looked up, there stood the Dean, whom I had seen during the appraisal at the entrance ceremony, with his splendid Santa beard.

"I was just about to take a break. You have come just at the right time, Zephyr-kun and Ekaterina-kun. No need to wait; just come directly. Mis, guide them."

"Understood, Feudal lord-sama."

After saying that, Dean disappeared into the back. If my memory serves me right, it should be where his office was.

"Well then, Zephyr-sama, Ekaterina-sama. It seems Feudal lord-sama's preparations are done. So let me guide you."

"Yes. Please."

We didn't have to wait and were directly led to his office. Lucky.

Walking behind the cool secretary-san, we were guided to the dean's office.

"We have arrived. This is where Feudal lord-sama is waiting. 一一Feudal lord-sama, I have brought the guests."

"Hm, you can enter."

Cool secretary-san opened the door, receiving permission.

After a long wait, it's finally time for a face-to-face meeting with the dean.
