Episode 54

I didn’t feel blatantly reluctant, though.

If the topic of training in the Forest of Blood is likely to be brought up, they either subtly avoid it or openly reject it.

I don’t really feel like being hated.

“Am I actually a person that everyone hates?”

“It’s not like that.”

Celidia said, ‘That’s right, that’s right.’ I feel like I’m stroking my hair before I know it.

Well, as if it was already natural, he succeeded in attracting one Celidia.

It’s just that in the process of saving the other one, all of them were rejected.

“It’s because everyone doesn’t know Xian well.”

“no… … . I think he knows him too well and refuses.”

Seeing us like that, Anila cast a bewildered look.

In addition to exchanging information, I felt frustrated at the situation where I couldn’t save the one remaining person, so I called it because I wanted to ask something.

“You know me well and say no?”

“Sian, what you did is well known.”

Anila smiled lightly and pointed at me.

“The thing that knocked out Prince Willot in a mock battle.”

“… … hmm.”

“You jumped into the dungeon on your own, and you didn’t know what you did, but you were recognized for your contributions anyway, right?”

“ah… … .”

“On top of that, he contributed greatly to the development of the black magic scroll, and even beat his seniors to be recognized for it.”

“Speak straight. It was a fair match. The opponent did not suffer a single wound.”

“Ah~, that’s it.”

In short, I thought I knew what she was trying to say.

“Sian, you look dangerous.”

A somewhat dangerous man.

I’m excited.

“I have skills, but my personality and conduct don’t seem safe. This is your image now.”

“it is not so.”

Somehow, Celidia protested as if she was dissatisfied, but of course there was no way the seed would be eaten.

I listened and agreed with my heart.

“People have preconceived notions based on rumors and actions. That’s why they’re scared because they don’t know what will happen if they team up with Xian.”

With that said, I look like some kind of walking incident flag maker.

(Isn’t that true?)

… … Emily?

“If you say that, Anila, will you join the group if I scout you?”

“Sorry~. The seat next to me is already full. That too was due on the first day!”

Popular people are different! It’s not like I’m proud of myself.

damn that sh*t

“Sian’s skills are attractive, but I think it would be difficult if he didn’t have enough guts.”

“I’m okay.”

“You must have at least the guts of a cat petting Xian there.”

In short, it means that unless you’re an outcast or you don’t have enough skills to care about reputation, you wouldn’t even consider forming a group with me.

“… … It’s ruined.”

(You don’t have to force it, do you?)

As Emily pointed out, who was listening to the conversation, even if you don’t force it, the professor will eventually put in the right number of people at his discretion.

Or attach it to the remaining group.

‘I want to choose the best possible number of people.’

If it was another class, I wouldn’t worry about it either.

After all, the training in the Forest of Blood is the stage for Chapter 2 of the main scenario.

People who cannot be controlled are worse than not being taken.

(As the talkative lady said, if you go out with Xian, something big will happen.)

‘Shouldn’t he have been kind to everyone normally?’

Is it karma for pretending to be strong in order to gain weight?

Well, not everyone has been rejected yet.

Surely there must be a different kind somewhere.

* * *

Let’s reconsider the recruitment issue for the remaining one.

Because there is still time to spare.

“… … Are you a guest?”

I realized it only when I arrived at the workshop.

Isn’t the maid standing far away in front of the door?

(Xian? Did you order a maid by any chance?)

‘I’ve never ordered anything like that. What’s Ordering a Maid Than? What do they do when I order it?’

(Have you noticed the attendants following the other kids not too long ago? You actually like them, maids?)

‘Say it right! I hadn’t seen maids very often, so my eyes went reflexively. Clothes, not people!’

(Ahhh… I guess that’s good?)

‘Yes, take note.’

It seems like you’ve come out with useless information, but let’s put that issue off for a little later.

Now, guests come first.

I got closer enough that I could see her a little more, and I stared at the maid involuntarily before speaking to her.

‘uh? this person… … .’

familiar?

where did you see it After thinking about it for a while, the other side reacted first.

No, to be precise, he was waiting for me to come.

“Excuse me.”

“… … Do you see whose attendant?”

Maids are surprisingly often seen within the academy. Many of the students are nobles or children of wealthy families.

Real bastards who can’t even change clothes on their own, and ladies are allowed to have seeds to serve.

“My name is Raylin. I came to visit because I was ordered to convey the message of our lady to Mr. Xian.”

“ray… … Rin?”

A name that feels familiar to the eye rather than familiar to the ear.

ah! I see!

“Could your master… … .”

“yes. The second daughter of the Duke of Lioleit. I am serving Lady Elcia.”

It was like that too.

Among the characters whose names and brief profiles were revealed at the time of the game, there are also aristocratic heroines and servants who serve the characters.

In particular, Elcia Lioleit, the second daughter of the Duke of Lioleit and the current freshman chief.

An attendant always followed her.

Raylin.

He was a supporting character who often appeared in episodes related to Elcia and was helpful in battle, so the players had a goodwill.

-why! Maids are not targeted!

– What the producers don’t know! Is it a game without a maid strategy route?

-Give me the missing maid ingredients!

… … It can be said that it is a favor that cannot be said to the person concerned.

“What’s the chief’s attendant doing?”

Even though he was a commoner, as an academy student, there was no need to show respect to an attendant.

I didn’t even want to look down on you. After asking the question calmly, Reirin calmly and cautiously said the matter.

“I have come to give you an invitation.”

“invite?”

“Because the lady told me to invite you as long as it doesn’t interfere with Mr. Xi’an’s schedule.”

“You’re asking me to call you very politely.”

“Are you okay?”

I’m not asking because I really don’t know.

There are no more classes today.

I had already finished my work, so the only thing left was to pass the time by playing with my demon sister in the workshop.

It must have come after understanding my daily routine to some extent.

“Does it matter if I refuse?”

“Because it is not your will to interfere.”

Even if he refused, he probably wouldn’t say anything.

but.

“It doesn’t matter as long as I’m free.”

“All right.”

There was no reason not to go to the call.

If you’re a rude opponent, you’ll treat him coldly, but there’s no reason to reject the request of a classmate who invites you normally.

Besides, I’m free.

From noble mtl dot com

‘I want you to call me unexpectedly.’

much less

‘I can roughly guess the purpose.’

For some reason, I had a feeling that the chief might have found me, so there was no particular reason for refusal.

“Because I wanted to take a look at the faction of the lady of the Lyoleate family at least once.”

“… … .”

At my words, Reirin didn’t bother to respond.

Instead, they quietly start guiding.

“Then let me guide you. The wagon has already been prepared, so go this way.”

“OK.”

Didn’t even think to prepare a wagon. Awesome, you’re sober.

* * *

The place where Elcia Reolelate is staying is the most expensive area in the archipelago.

You’re staying in an absurdly extravagant place for a mediocre student to live in.

“First of all, one thing. Is there anything you don’t like?”

While the carriage heads to the chief’s mansion, the maid asks me for a simple preference for tea or refreshments.

Is it to avoid the situation of serving something that the customer is reluctant to do?

“There is nothing covered. … … I guess the more expensive the better.”

“I will refer you to it. … … Besides, what about that?”

Currently, only me and the maid are riding in the carriage. Including the coachman outside, there were three people.

However, she stares at the empty space next to me and speaks calmly.

It’s not like I’m out of my mind

(Xian? That lady-in-waiting is…)

‘Yeah, I think I noticed.’

I think I know what your intention was.

I gave permission with a light sigh, and I materialized and summoned Emily.

Emily doesn’t care about the maid’s gaze and clings to me, showing off as if to look at it.

“Thank you for asking the devil’s symbol?”

“… … There was too. I heard that some of the black magicians made a pact with the devil, but I thought it was true.”

After all, I was certain that the devil was attached to me, and I spoke to him.

Originally, it is quite impossible for others to recognize a demon that has not materialized.

“Because I had to accurately figure out the number of guests, I made an apology inevitably.”

“doesn’t care. Before that, I have a question, did you see my familiar?”

I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw it.

If you are an attendant of a ducal family, it is difficult for you to fulfill the position unless you are a person of considerable skill.

I know better than anyone that Raylin is strong in the first place.

“no. didn’t see it. It just felt that way.”

“persimmon?”

“You seem to have a habit of leaving the side empty when you sit down.”

“… … uh? really?”

I noticed it when I saw the persimmon and my behavior.

It’s not a simple point of view, but it’s not a misunderstanding that it sounds like advice.

In short, even if you don’t see it, you can figure out the bottom line just by the other person’s behavior.

I guess I’m still a long way off.

“Remember.”

While we were talking, the wagon stopped shaking.

They arrived at their destination, the chief’s mansion.

“The house is really big… … .”

“Unfortunately, mansions larger than this could not be obtained from the system.”

“No, are you admiring it now? Is this not enough?”

Even with the dazzling mansion, this maid speaks as if she doesn’t fit the status of her master.

Yes, the duke’s family is one of the most powerful in the empire.

It is because he is a great aristocrat who has been in existence since the founding of the empire.

“It’s a more splendid place… … . Are you referring to the big thing over there?”

Deliberately, I pointed at the huge castle tower in the distance.

Hwangseong.

There is only one place more glamorous than this mansion.

The maid’s complexion hardened.

“… … You seem to like jokes.”

“Cancer, I like it. Does your master like these jokes too?”

“It’s unfortunate, but the lady doesn’t like farming very much, so I ask for your understanding in advance.”

“I will remember it.”

Soon the carriage pulled into the garden of the mansion, and I was talking roughly as I turned my eyes to the sight.

From our conversation earlier, Emily whispered in my ear if I had guessed something.

“Does that maid not like Xian very much?”

“There is nothing strange about being alert. Unidentified by the black magician. even has the devil It doesn’t fit the status of a lady from a noble family and looks very bad. He probably didn’t even want to invite you.”

“… … Oh my, sorry.”

If you think about the business afterwards, there’s no need to belittle it.

“Since there are other classmates, it would be better to take care of your careless remarks considering Xian-nim’s dignity.”

“know. I’ve heard that the guys from her clique come and go here too.”

It is such a spacious mansion.

It’s a shame to simply neglect it, and it also serves as a show off, so she uses this place as a base and often invites her classmates from her clique to hold meetings.

There are probably still a few of them.

As she mentally recalled the list of members of her clique, the carriage stopped.

As they were guided by the maid, they went inside the mansion, and from there they entered another garden.

A garden decorated with unknown flowers and well-kept trees.

There were many faces that seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Guys belonging to the chief’s clique.

‘Did they tell me in advance that they were going to call me and let them gather?’

Their eyes turned to me for a second, but I couldn’t find any signs of surprise from them.

Meaning that you knew today’s invitation in advance.

I don’t have anything to do with looking at someone’s notice, but this time I glanced at the owners of their gazes toward me as if quickly counterattacking them one by one.

‘Surely, the chief faction list is not very different from what I know.’

main character.

In particular, a person destined to be heavily involved in future events.

The chief is one of them, but there must be faces in this faction that are formidably worried about the future.
