chapter 45
45 – New Semester
New Semester
“It’s been a while everyone!”
Three-three shouted brightly as they entered the class.
It’s a place to meet friends from the academy after a long break. Some of her greet her with her three-set tension, and others lightly greet her with a small smile.
However, most of the female academy students reciprocate to her, but her male academy students are somewhat lukewarm.
“Oh, three three. Long time no see.”
“You’ve gotten prettier since I haven’t seen you. Your bright smile is always bright.”
No, rather than lukewarm, something disgusting. Her way of speaking doesn’t match as if she’s reading a Korean book, adding to the disgust.
Whether they are sitting in a chair, leaning against a wall, or sitting at a window, each of the male students maintains their best poses and is giving a deep look to the three of them who have just entered the classroom.
It’s a little too much to say that I just wore good clothes because I was excited about the new semester. Sesset smiles as she blankly looks at the male academy students wearing uncomfortable clothes that would suit her at a party.
“Are you doing this because of Seria’s day?”
At the words of the three, all the male students all turned their heads in unison.
“Ah- there was a day like that. I forgot.”
“Seria’s day is a wonderful day. But I’m not the little guy who cares about it.”
With swaying pupils, each of them talks to whom they don’t know and pretends to be relaxed.
Girl Seria’s Day.
An anniversary unique to the Empire, simply put, it is a day when a woman confesses her love by giving a man something sweet.
Unfortunately, there is only a 3-day difference between Seria’s Day and the new semester. At the pathetic efforts of the unpopular men who had to appeal to the female academy students she hadn’t seen before, she told the male academy student who was pretending to be in agony to lean against the entrance door and go inside.
“Raicang It’s been a while, are you looking at the panties?”
It wasn’t just the male academy students who were in strange positions. Lying in the corner of the lecture room as if it were a bed, three three crouched down in front of Rai, who was staring at the ceiling, waving at him.
“Are you here? I want to be alone, so can you leave?”
“What are you talking about lying down in a lecture room? If you want to be alone, Raikang will come out. Don’t look at the panties.”
“I had no choice but to come because they said they would kill me if I came late. If I don’t come now, I might not come.”
I could tell who said that without even saying it. Rai, who briefly glanced at Sessett, turned her head to look at the ceiling. Sesset looked up at the ceiling once to see what was there, and when he saw that it was no different from before, he lowered his head to Rai again.
“There are no panties on the ceiling. Or are you looking at them so that you don’t notice with your good skills?”
“Why don’t you change the subject in panties?”
“No matter how I look at it, I can only see it in a position to look at the panties. Look, girls, no one comes this way.”
“……”
No matter how much she has her own way, Rai, not wanting to be branded as a pervert, gets up and sits in a corner, staring at the ceiling.
“I finally feel like the other boys. A lone wolf concept? Can I get you something sweet?”
“If you give it to them, they will eat it. Why are they like that?”
“Because the girl Seria’s day is coming soon.”
“What is that?”
Rai asks back because it is an anniversary that only the Empire has, and Sesset looks at him with pitiful eyes and puts his hand on his shoulder.
“Raikang… You don’t have to pretend you don’t know.”
“No, really. Put your hands away. It’s kind of pissing me off.”
She patted Lai on the shoulder and stood up, and went back to her seat without answering.
Lai, who was looking at her bewildered, stopped caring about her and raised her head again to look at her ceiling. I still get stuck on what Joshua told me before.
‘I told you not to rebel. They’re people who don’t really listen to what they say.’
While Rai is thinking about what to do next, Layla comes in and gives a brief orientation to the class B academy students.
While she was delivering information related to the semester, such as the schedule for the new semester and newly added subjects, Layla turned her head when she noticed that all the eyes of the academy students were looking to one side.
She opens her window and sees Rai, who is blankly looking out.
She remains expressionless, but Layla, with tendons on her forehead, stops her and approaches Rai.
“It’s inquiry time, so pay attention”
“Do it yourself. I have something to think about, so can you leave me alone?”
Just as he pleases, Leila kicks her Rai in the back and knocks her out of the window. There was a loud sound, like branches breaking, but no screams.
Leila, who easily distracted the academy students, returns to her classroom as if nothing had happened and repeats her words she had cut off.
As soon as her break started, Zeroa, who was happy to see Aria, who had left for her hometown for the first time in a while, woke up to Leila’s outrageous behavior and focused on her.
The inquiry ends safely, except for Aslan getting caught by Layla while secretly peeping at Rai who fell out of the window.
After completing her academy, Cesset went to the city with Philia.
“It’s exciting to see the kids after a long time. Everyone is crazy and so cute.”
“Three or three is weird to think that’s cute.”
Philia couldn’t understand Sesset’s taste, but Sesset’s escort Rin replied with a small nod of her head.
“Yes, they are full of energy.”
“Come to think of it, I don’t have the power of Raikang. Is there something?”
The word energy immediately reminds him of Rai, and he is curious about his unusual quietness. He’s equally funny whether he’s quiet or loud, but still, he’s changed so much that it’s worth wondering.
“You must be having strange thoughts again.”
“Philia will give that strange person the sweetness of Seria.”
“My, why would I give it to someone like that?!”
In general, giving something sweet on Seria’s Day is called Seria’s gift or sweetness. When Cesset spoke playfully, Philia stuttered even to her words and burst into anger.
“But Philia usually gives sweetness to the people she owes her.”
“…… Ummm… Right…”
She doesn’t necessarily have to sweeten her by professing her love. It also has the meaning of respect or a simple gift, so it is also used to say thank you.
She had never confessed to anyone until now, and Philia often gave Seria’s day to express her gratitude.
Philia bows her head and agrees to the irrefutable words of Seset.
I owe Rai so much. There are dangerous things with assassins, and the magic circulation bracelet is too big to put a value on. Philia, who was supposed to give her to the instructors who were usually very helpful, was so annoyed that she couldn’t get rid of him.
What should a person who tries to make fun of when he opens his mouth and talks badly with men to be pretty? In terms of emotions, she was sweet and wanted to feed her fists, but Philia was inflexible in this respect.
Seset, who was looking up at Philia, who was making fun of her unfair expression, was restrained by her Lyn and returned to her dignified posture and walked.
“It’s easy to predict the people Philia will give you. Layla, Etila, Dudley, Zeroa, Pel, Roa, Xenia, and Raikang… Is this enough? Wouldn’t it be misunderstood if there were three women? , I forgot. Filia is too erotic to have four women.”
Filia, who was looking at the three sets that she correctly matched while folding her fingers, asked in bewilderment.
“Then who do you give the three sets to?”
“Me? I… Raikang, Zeroa, Aslan, Seivan, Delon, Cuthbert, Bolin, Mizir, Tonga, Toto, Garrick, Derek, Eric, Steven, James, Daymond, Redick, Julius , Randall, White, Karin, Fritz, Freichard…”
There are countless names coming out of her mouth. The three-set continued to say the names of her academy academy students until she was exhausted.
“Ha ha.. Ha.. Is this enough?”
“Are you going to give everyone in the academy?”
“Because you get back as much as you give.”
Sesset smiles evilly.
In return for sweetness, men usually give jewelry or dresses. Usually, the dress is prepared for the partner on the prom, the anniversary of the girl Seria’s day in return for love, and the jewelry covers all meanings.
“It’s a day when you can recover your investment 100 times more than the original cost. Turning a piece of sugar into a jewel is the pinnacle of alchemy!
“Keep your dignity.”
Rin strikes the frantic three-set’s head with the blade of her hand to stabilize it.
Touching her throbbing head, sesset looked back at her lynn with a tearful expression on her face.
“I’m serving the poor men who were turned away that day. Rin is cold-blooded for not understanding this kind heart.”
“She would have complimented me if it hadn’t only been about money.”
“Money is essential to do good. It’s not like there’s a miracle of bread pouring out of a basket indefinitely.”
As they make excuses, the three three laugh Bessie.
The two of them are now out to buy ingredients to make Seria’s sweetness. There are more cases of just buying and giving, but the moment the word handmade is added, the value rises dozens of times.
The two, who have been together since childhood, now bake cookies or make desserts together when Seria Day approaches, almost like an annual event. She says she wants money, but Sesset just enjoys doing things together.
Lyn knows that too, so she doesn’t say too much about Sessett’s jokes and corrects only the words and actions that are too classy.

Returning to her house, Zeroa takes a small breath to hold on to her trembling heart.
The aria she saw after a long time was much more beautiful than the aria he remembered in her head. As soon as she saw Aria, her legs gave out and her academy students sat down, as if she wasn’t alone in thinking that way.
Arya, who is extremely quiet in places with many people, lowered her head lightly when her eyes met Zero-ah, and that alone made Zero-ah’s heart tremble and burst.
It’s not like I haven’t seen her for years, but in the meantime, Arya was showing off her more mature beauty, and Zeroa, thinking of her getting closer and closer to her goddess, smiles smacked without realizing it.
“……”
“……”
I thought no one was there, but his sister Cara is sitting at her table.
Kara, who has been eating her raspberry bread without saying a word, invites her older brother, who is grinning at her, to sit with her chin on her.
Zeroa, her face reddened from her embarrassment and shame, sat quietly and bowed her head. Kara said in a cold voice.
“Brother, let’s tell the truth. Are you dating someone?”
“Huh? No, no, no that’s…”
“Is there? No?! Just say that!”
As if to interrogate her, he punches her on the table and threatens her, and Zeroa quickly replies that no.
As soon as she goes to her academy even though she doesn’t have anyone to date, her smirking brother’s smile combined with the upcoming Seria’s day makes her reason, Kara puts her elbows on her table and zeros. Glaring at ah
“From now on, just answer yes or no. You said you don’t date anyone, so do you like someone?”
“……That’s…”
“Uh-huh, only answer yes or no!”
“Yes.”
Satisfied with her brother’s answer, Kara nods her head and rips open her raspberry bread roughly. Thinking that she was somehow influenced by her novels that her brother sees, Zeroa later thinks she should take a look at what she is reading.
“Is the person you like interested in your brother?”
“Uh… No… Yes is… That…”
She thinks of Arya, and Zeroa stutters her words. It is true that she is more friendly than other people since she has no interaction with the people of her origin, but that does not mean that she is interested as a man.
Looking at her brother, who doesn’t know what to say, Kara understands the situation and speaks to her brother, who lacks confidence.
“Dash.”
“What?”
“Dash. I mean, when you’re dating a girl, be brave. Women fall in love with a confident look. Oppa might not have been able to show all his charms because he’s too clumsy.”
Rather than sympathize with her words, as Zeroa stood there blankly, unable to understand why she had suddenly come to her relationship counseling, Kara let out a sigh of relief and then spoke in a serious voice.
“Brother.”
“Why?”
“If you don’t get any presents on Seria’s Day, you won’t be able to come into your brother’s house. Dash and get one.”
At Kara’s words, Zeroa ponders for a moment. She didn’t expect this either, Zeroa, who had never received a gift from her other than her mother and her brother.
But after confessing to her aria and receiving her sweetness, wouldn’t it be more likely that she would rather go catch her demon king?
She shakes her head at Zeroa, who doesn’t want to be kicked out of an unlikely job.
“I don’t think I can get it.”
“Then you can’t come home. I’m going to tell mom all the dirty books her brother has hidden.”
“…… I don’t have one?”
Zeroa, who almost fell for her brother’s judo newspaper, tries to talk her out of it, but Kara looks at her brother’s room, which is open to her. Zeroa swallows her saliva at the sight of her brother’s eyes looking at her closet to be exact.
A little high-level novel that she got from a male academy student she got close to is in the back of her closet. How could her younger brother know about it?
“Bring me a present. It contains my brother’s future.”
With her firm words, Kara pats her frozen Zeroa on the shoulder and leaves.
She knows that she is left alone, and she only worries about whether she should receive it even if she prays for her sweetness to other female academy students.
