CH 132

For the time being, there were too many seniors and other people gathered, so I decided talk about the forbidden library after finishing the department head’s errands. I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of other things that I need to ask, but I’ll slowly remember from my conversations with Ursch-kun.

When we visited the head of the department, he also welcomed me, who had followed Ursch-kun. He was bigger than I expected, has ash brown hair and pale green eyes. He was a cheerful older brother wearing thick-rimmed glasses.

“Hey! Ursch boy’s fiancée. Thank you for your hard work extinguishing the fire!! I heard that you were firefighting in a very exposed outfit and you were collected by Ursch boy? Actually, Ursch boy has a jealous and sticky personality. Be careful not to stimulate him too much!!”

Ursch-kun, I don’t think your young enough to be called boy anymore. . . Well, is that okay with you? There are many witnesses to the fact that I fought the fire in a samba-like costume and was collected by Ursch-kun, so that’s also good. . .

The question is that Ursch-kun is ‘jealous and sticky’, but why is Ursch-kun evaluated so much by the head of the department? I still understand the jealousy. He was jealous of Marilyn-senpai (?) and Game Ursch-kun’s costumes. No, that’s weird too, right? At that time, I don’t think there were people around who were watching me and listening.

Does that mean that somewhere without me, Ursch-kun has revealed his jealousy in front of the department head and his acquaintances?

Eh, what is that? How did that happen? What happened? I’m curious.

When I went to ask the head of the department about the details, Ursch-kun grabbed my shoulders from behind and moved me away.

“Then, Isabella, please wait here quietly. I need to have an important conversation with the head of the department and make an important promise.”

“Eh, eh? Ursch-kun, I have something important to ask the head of the department.”

“We have to finish our errands quickly and go back to the meeting for new students, right? Also, we still have a discussion about the forbidden library, and I’m busy today, so let’s do it another time.”

That’s right. We had a lot of plans today. This is not the time to be talking carelessly with the head of the department. Seeing that I was convinced, Ursch-kun went back to the head of the department.

Well, what should I do in the meantime? For the time being, even if I’m not good at explaining, let’s write down as much as I can remember in a memo so that I can tell Ursch-kun about the forbidden library step by step.

Well, the first thing that seems to be important is the nursery rhyme. There was a difference between what I heard from Marieta and what I heard at the fountain. But I don’t remember the lyrics of the nursery rhymes. For the time being, let’s ask Marieta to write down the contents of the lyrics in a memo. I made a note of this so I wouldn’t forget.

Also, let’s write down the conditions for getting to the Forbidden Library. Well. First of all, ‘Dance in a circle’. . . . . Is this okay? Certainly, Ursch-kun and I danced in a circle during the campfire, so I think it’s okay.

Next, ‘Be the first to find the fairy that randomly appears in a fountain somewhere in the academy.’ First come, first served. So, is it over? No, I think there was something else???

Ah, ‘I’ll take half of the world’!! . . . . .No, that’s not it. I didn’t get it, half of the world. Would you give me half the world? No, to whom? The world is not mine after all. For now.

“Isabella, what’s wrong? What are you groaning about?”

I mean, where did ‘half of the world’ come from? Is it some kind of line? That’s it!! A phrase like a dragon king somewhere floated on the surface of the water in the fountain. I’m sure the content is,

“Isabella? What’s wrong?”

“Eh, Ursch-kun? Ah, I just remembered!! ‘If you become my ally, I will give you half of the world.'”

“. . . Eh, ah, yeah. . . Thank you. I’ll always be on Isabella’s side. . . But I don’t think I need half of the world.”

Ahh!! No, that’s not it. Suddenly trying to give half of the world to my fiancé, it became like a supreme ruler!!

“Ah, no, that’s not it. No, it’s different. No, that’s not it, is it?”

“Isabella, I don’t really understand, but I want you to calm down.”

Ursch-kun stroked my confused head and guided me to the stairs. Oh. Ursch-kun, your hands are getting bigger. You’re getting closer to being an adult. It’s fantastic. I will follow you wherever you go.

“For the time being, let’s leave the matter of half of the world behind and go back to the first basement floor.”

“Yes.”

Ursch-kun went up while staying a step higher than me, so he couldn’t get a ‘panty attack’ on the stairs. That’s why I said I wouldn’t intentionally do a lucky lecher!!

After returning to the first basement floor after a while, it seems that the new students of the alchemy department have finally gathered, and a simple self introduction and an interview about the desired alchemy was conducted.

I had planned to use a dispensing system such as potions, but I heard that I would use ‘cooking utensils’ such as kitchen knives, cutting boards, and pots, so I started to worry about whether I should change it. I’m a woman that alchemizes sludge when I use cooking utensils to cook food. The same thing could happen with potion creation.

With that said, it seems that the beginner’s joint class will continue for a while, so I decided to think about it while taking that class. I was a little relieved because there were other students who were also planning to think about elective classes while taking the initial classes in the same way.

When it came time for Ursch-kun’s interview, I got bored after finishing the interview first, so I looked around at the new students. I saw Marieta and Barbara in the distance. The two of them are getting along well. They seem to be able to communicate well.

That’s right, let’s ask Marieta about the lyrics of the nursery rhyme now. listening to the elective classes is done in order, so students who have finished listening are hanging out freely. If I’m going to talk to her, now is my chance.

While waving, I rushed over to Marieta and Barbara, and they both noticed me and waved back. When I joined them, Barbara put her hands on her waist and started to get angry.

“Hey, you!! Where did you go last time? You should have been waiting for Marieta to come back with me, but when I took my eyes of you for a moment, you disappeared, so I looked for you!!”

“I’m sorry. I remembered some errands, and I thought it would be bad to get mixed up with the family reunion. I left without letting you know. I’m sorry.”

Then Marieta laughed while shaking her head and hands.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Barbara is saying this, but she was just worried about Isabella. Don’t be offended.”

“It’s okay. I know that Barbara is a tsundere.”

While saying that, Marieta and I turned our gazes to Barbara, and she turned bright red and glared at us.

“I don’t really understand ‘Tsundere’, but don’t misunderstand me. I’m not particularly worried about you!”

I got it. From the tsundere character, ‘There’s no such thing as XXXX about XX!!’ I got a classic response!! Speaking of which, I would like Barbara to have a little more of the dere element. I don’t think there’s any ill will, but the tone is tight, so if you get a little more degrading, I’m going to get depressed sometimes.

Well, I don’t have time for that.

“Hey, Marieta. About the king’s song from last time. . .”

“Hey!! Don’t ignore me!!”

“Ah, you’re talking about ‘King’s Fragments’. It seems that Isabella was interested in it the other day, so I asked my husband and copied other nursery rhymes into my notebook. I was wondering if I could meet Isabella today. I’ve brought it. Does Isabella like nursery rhymes?”

As expected of a heroine!! You’re good at the ability to neatly prepare what the other person wants and give it as a gift. My likability towards Marieta is increasing!! It’s an explosion!! It’s just that I’m not a capture target, I’m a villainess!! Is this the end of our friendship? What?

“No more!! Even Marieta is ignoring me!!”

“Rather than saying I like it, I guess it’s more like I’m researching it? Well. Folklore?”

“Hey, both of you!! If you don’t stop, I’ll get angry!!”

“”I’m sorry, Barbara.””

Barbara’s face turned bright red and her eyes began to tear up, so Marieta and I hurriedly calmed her down.

I saw Ursch-kun, who finished the interview, come back as I was presenting lemonade and pudding I took out of my [Closet] in order to appease Barbara’s anger.

“Ah, it looks like Ursch-kun is back. See you both later.”

“Humph. That’s all for today. Go quickly. . . . Thank you so much for the pudding.”

“Isabella. At the end of the notebook, there are other things I want to tell Isabella in addition to nursery rhymes, so please look at the last page.”

“Yeah!! Thank you Marieta. Barbara, I’ll bring some ice cream next time.”

“It’s noisy. Hurry up and go to your fiancé!! He’s staring at me!!”

Barbara told me to look back and look at Ursch-kun, but he was just waving with a soft smile.

No, Barbara. Isn’t it difficult for the slit-eyed Ursch-kun to stare at you?
