Chapter 210

Restrain yourself, Mr. Yenika (1)

“You can return to Ofilis Hall soon.”

It was on the way back to camp after the Spirit Society and Elemental Science class that Yenika received such a story from Bel Maia.

After stopping by the living quarters for some quick groceries, I was heading back to camp, humming a song while holding a bundle of paper bags in my arms, when I met Belle, who was clearing the path leading to the entrance to the Ofilis Building.

When Jenica Palover had just entered school and was struggling with trivial matters due to her country background, the person who helped her the most was Belle, the senior maid at the time.

In addition, Belle often came to the camp to manage Lortel’s villa, so it was natural for them to exchange warm greetings every time they met.

“Huh?! It’s okay... wasn’t I disqualified from joining the Ofilis building in the first place because of the disciplinary action?!”

“Disciplinary procedures implemented by the Academic Disciplinary Committee usually expire in one year. The disciplinary action was received in the spring of last year, and fall is already in full swing this year.”

The road leading to Ofilis Hall is neatly paved from the beginning. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what else there was to organize in Jenica’s eyes, but Bell was still giving instructions to the workers.

This was a part that clearly revealed Belle’s personality of thoroughly managing even the smallest details.

“The fact that a new disciplinary committee has not been convened and the disciplinary statute of limitations has not been renewed means that even at the academic level, they are trying to move past it. Usually, all major noises disappear within a year.”

“Is that so...?”

“Actually, the fact that the current student council president is Lady Tanya has a big impact. She is not the kind of person who would severely punish Lady Yenika, nor does she seem to be gentle enough to care about what happened a year ago... “

The decision-making authority to convene a disciplinary committee lies with the academic headquarters and the student council.

Although there is some difference in authority between the two, there is no difference in the effectiveness of the execution plan based on the results of the committee convening.

It is quite encouraging that Tanya Rosstaylor is not active in punishing Jenica.

“Not only that, but the students in general have a favorable view of Lady Yenica... so there won’t be any major problems if she returns to Ofilis Hall.”

Among students, Jenica Palover remains popular.

In the first place, during the Glaskan incident, Yenika was consumed by the power of a high-ranking dark spirit, so it is safe to say that there was no intention or malice... Considering the influx of petitions and sympathy among students since then, this is the case. Even if the disciplinary action is completed, there will be no backlash.

“Since you have been living in the dormitory since the second semester of last year, you will be eligible to move in again from the vacation when the second semester of this year ends.”

“I see...”

“Actually, I asked this, but you don’t have the will to return, right?”

Clearly, Belle Maia is sharp.

Jenica Failover’s wild life has already been rumored even among bachelors.

However, it is only a story going around among a few people close to Yenica, but in fact, it is strange that all students at the school are interested in it.

In any case, since it is certain that she is living with Ed Rosstaylor... some students believe that Ed and Yenika are still together.

And... it’s an embarrassing story... but

Yenika didn’t particularly hate that misunderstanding...!

“You seemed very satisfied with your life at the camp, so I wondered if it was a pointless nonsense... but I thought it would be right to tell the story anyway.”

“That girl...?”

“Ofilis Hall is a place where there are always a mountain of applicants for employment. It’s right to be aware of opportunities when they arise.”

“Uh, yes... thank you. There are definitely a lot of people who really want to go into the Ofilis Hall... I guess not wanting to go in is just because I’m full...”

That’s what she said, but Yenica Palover had no choice but to return to the Ofilis Hall. I have absolutely no heart.

“Actually, don’t you prefer living with Master Ed? Wouldn’t it be better to leave your name off the list of employees at Ofilis Hall? It’s an obvious rumor, but it doesn’t seem like you really dislike the rumor that you went as far as Master Ed. ...”

“Uh huh?! What are you talking about? Ed will be in trouble if such rumors spread! I’ve been denying it to everyone I meet, so much so that my mouth hurts!”

“Is that so... That was my misunderstanding. I’m sorry.”

“Uh, no. It’s nothing to apologize for, Bell...!”

There is not a single trace of sincerity in Belle’s expression as she apologizes thoughtfully.

In fact, Yenica Palover’s feelings were clearly visible to Bel Maia. On my part, I’m squirming because I’m embarrassed, but on Belle’s part, I just feel a faint feeling.

It’s like a privilege for girls of that age to be able to be so shy and embarrassed over just one trivial point of contact.

You should enjoy as much as you can right now... You won’t be able to enjoy that thrill once you get caught up in the times of the world and your eyes that judge people become dry.

Belle Maia, who thinks this way, is actually in a position where she has never experienced true romance and youth due to severe hardships in life. If you miss the timing, the freshness will disappear.

Looking at Belle in a strangely vague mood... Yenika was just pulling her braided hair.

“Anyway, a festival atmosphere is slowly starting to spread around the school. Our Ofilis building also holds simple small banquets, tea parties in the garden, and at night, we light a big fire in the back lot and sing a band. You don’t have to be a new student to participate, so you can participate in the festival. “Please come by with Master Ed if you have time during this period.”

As the family affairs began to settle to some extent and Tanya became the student council president, all the indignities and troubles within the academy would have come to an end... but it seems like there are

still big worries and burdens left for Ed... When that happens, you look at the fire and get lost in thought.

Seeing the contrast between Ed’s appearance and her own happiness as if in heaven every day...

Yenika thought that even that feeling of happiness should be suppressed for a while.

Even though he has overcome so much, Ed still has a mountain left to overcome.

Even though I could clearly feel that fact... I didn’t want to remain a girl who smiled immaturely and happily and had no idea what the world was like.

It is unreasonable to attach qualifications to happiness. However, the girl was still too immature to realize that fact on her own.

“A letter has arrived from Princess Fenia. “Not only me, but you too, Yenika.”

“Hmm...?”

Yenika was surprised, as she withdrew her hands that were supporting her chin, as if she had been thinking about something else.

I, who was still sharpening my bow, looked at Yenika, who was once again surprised. I gave him a puzzled look.

As for me, I’ve been training to make a bow for four days already. If I trimmed the wood that Lortel sent me and practiced, I would have something useful within a week.

“Huh?! Correspondence? To whom?!”

“It’s no big deal, Yenika. I was deep in thought.”

“Uh huh... I had something to think about.”

“Thoughts? What are you thinking?”

“Ed, what are you thinking?”

It was a conversation that took place naturally as each person sat by the fire. However, the ending seemed unclear, so Jenica took a deep breath after speaking. “

...My thoughts?”

“ Oh no! I didn’t think anything strange! I’m speechless! Actually, it didn’t come out in vain. Strictly speaking, what Ed thought was correct! It wasn’t such an important and great idea!”

Looking at the way she was so shocked and making excuses, I get the feeling that it really wasn’t such a great idea. No

matter what, Yenika is really bad at lying. Most of what she says is either truthful or honest. Since these are honest stories, I don’t really have any doubts.

“Me too!” If you’re going to talk, you have to go through your brain, but when I’m with Ed, there are times when the words just flow out of me!” ”

I don’t know what I’m thinking... but right now, I’m talking about correspondence first.”

I was polishing it up. I put down my bow and took out from my chest the letter that arrived from the royal quarters this morning.

“Slowly... it seems that Emperor Cloel is trying to end this sluggish competition for imperial power within this year.” “

Really...?

” huh. It’s already been a while since Crown Prince Lindon suddenly gave up on succeeding to the throne without even giving a reason. I guess they are planning to sort out this confusion soon. “Only when the successor is confirmed will we be able to properly educate the successor and the forces within the imperial family will be sorted out.”

From Princess Fenia’s perspective, it was a situation where she could not sit still.

If she had already come this far, she would also have to run for the imperial throne.

“Even Princess Selaha decided to come to Sylvania during this Krestol Grand Festival, so it’s time to take action.” “

But what does that have to do with calling us?”

“Obviously... that side.” They will want to attract us from their position as well.”

The royal residence, which serves as Princess Fenia’s residence, stands tall on the cliffs on the west side of Aken Island. I

have been there several times, so it is not difficult to find it.

“What are you talking about? I guess I’ll have to go and check it out in person. Yenika, since you invited me too, let’s go together tomorrow morning. The class schedule is generous, right?”

“Uh, okay... okay.”

I nodded and put the letter back in my pocket.

The academic year begins preparations for the festival in earnest starting tomorrow.

I have to start preparing for that too . However ,

Yenika’s strangely hesitant attitude was unusual, so I was worried for no reason.

...Actually, I had some expectations.

It was time to tell Yenika everything.
