chapter 25
Is It Tea?
the next day.
I’m still spying on Leo Epsilt.
Except for the fact that he met with the swordsmanship professor yesterday, there was nothing special about it.
I quickly shoved the rice into my mouth.
It’s not because the princess in front of me is absolutely burdensome.
I have to eat quickly and go watch Leo.
I only noticed this morning, and I was also concerned about the white-haired thief who cleverly sat behind a pillar in the dining room and glanced at me.
Meanwhile, the princess spoke to me.
Strangely, unlike his usual self-confident appearance, he seemed a little hesitant.
“What are you doing?”
I gulped and swallowed the food in my mouth and asked her.
“Ah, Louie… ”
She coughs once, then tells me.
“Will it be time after dinner?”
Oh, that’s a bit tricky.
You never know when Leo guy will do something.
But the princess, not anyone else, says…
I asked her back.
“Is it important?”
“No, it’s not like that. just… Even for a short walk… ”
The latter part, uncharacteristic of her, was a lot of evasiveness, so I couldn’t hear it properly.
Anyway, as long as it doesn’t matter.
“Anyway, let’s have dinner… ”
“I’m sorry, Chairman. I have work today.”
“Uh, huh?”

Just then, I saw Leo standing up after finishing his meal on the other side.
I bowed my head briefly to the princess and quickly stood up.
It’s not polite to get up first from a meal.
It’s an important situation right now, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
I left the restaurant and cautiously headed towards the back of the building.
After confirming that no one was around, he took out the cat mask from his arms.
What is a real cat, a cat.
I’d rather have a black mark or something cool like that.
Shaking at the game makers’ hate for Wallenstein, I put on a mask.
The sooner the sun goes down, the less likely you are to be caught.
Unless you run into someone while walking with your mind like last time.
With the mask on, I used footwork and climbed up the outside wall of the restaurant.
If you look down from the roof.
Guy Leo was moving alone, without even the saint he always wore.
feeling came
This is to do something else.
After looking around again and confirming the location of the saint.
With mana in his legs, I started following him again.
—
The princess, Kalia Schefelz, forgot to even finish her meal.
He just stares at the empty seat in front of him in dismay.
It was something I had the courage to say.
‘The students of the student council, did they say that they were teased over these things?’
No, no, I never meant that.
Anyway, I thought I had a good relationship with Louis Wallenstein.
His reaction today was a little hurt for the princess.
Her proposed walk was rejected.
Where is that?
As soon as he brought up the story of the walk, Louis hurriedly stood up.

Just like avoiding yourself.
‘Why on earth… ? No, it’s not that he hates me. It must have been burdensome because the original woman was such a great person.’
She was the princess who comforted her like that.
As the student council said.
He is obviously excellent, but he seems a bit clumsy when it comes to approaching others personally.
—
Leo quickly teased his feet.
There was no one to urge me, but my heart was in a hurry.
Hey, after you apply for a duel, you can’t beat it anyway.
In fact, if you think about it, it might have been better to prepare everything properly and then challenge him to a duel.
Leo admitted that he was a bit emotional at the time.
Still, it doesn’t matter much.
After all, it was only natural for him to trample on Louis Wallenstein as a hero candidate.
The plan never goes wrong.

Just like yesterday, the professor and I met at the back of a rare building.
Right next to it was the forest within the academy, so hardly anyone would come.
he asked the professor.
“How was it?”
“Everything went well. I have been assigned to observe the duel.”
Leo smiled contentedly.
With this, I was able to prepare for any unforeseen factors.
“What did you ask for?”
“I am here.”
The professor pulled something shiny silver from his pocket.
It was the key.
“thank you.”
Leo takes the key and puts it in his pocket.
“By the way, what the hell is that going to be used for… ”
“The professor doesn’t need to know.”
“Hey, I was just asking out of curiosity.”
the story is over
After habitually looking around again, Leo left the place with satisfaction.
Again, he could not find the pair of eyes watching him among the trees.
After a while, Leo met the saint who had been waiting for him according to his instructions.
If I had to pick one person I could trust the most among the party members, it was Saint Esther Kalt.
Anyway, he took the saint who was waiting for him and headed somewhere.
“Who is Louis Wallenstein?”
“I made sure you were heading towards the gym!”
“Hey, you idiot. What do you think will be different after just a few days of practice?”
the saint asks him
“Leo, what’s going on?”
“Esther, you have work to do.”
“Anything, please!”
The two headed to the academy’s dormitory.
There were not many people in the dormitory building.
Among the cadets I seldom met, there were those who wondered why a woman had come to the men’s building.
Because the opponent was the heir of the duke and the saint, no one said anything.
Finally, the two reached near Louis’ room.
“What, the light went out? Why is the hallway so dark?”
Leo said so.
However, he doesn’t care much and asks Esther.
“Esther, look around and knock on the door right away if Louie comes along.”
“Okay!”
Esther answered bravely, then ran over the corner and began to watch.
At the same time, Leo takes out the key he received from Professor Ian and puts it in the keyhole of Louis’ dormitory room.
Heck, the door opened easily.
Leo went into the room and started looking at the floor, starting with the bed.
“Ah, I found it.”
Shortly thereafter, he picked up a strand of black hair from the floor.
Carefully inserting his hair into the glass bottle he was carrying, he slowly opened the door.
The way he held out his head and looked around the hallway was that of a thief.
After making sure that no one is around.
Leo quickly left the room.
“Is it all over, Leo?”
“yes. Now you go back.”
Leo urges Esther.
If Louie even sees a saint here, it may feel strange.
Having sent the saint away, Leo headed to his dormitory room.
The two disappeared, and the hallway soon became quiet.
Behind a flowerpot placed on the other side of the dark hallway, a human being moves quietly.
—
Instead of even having dinner with the princess in the middle, I was able to follow Leo.
Leo Epsilt heads to the place where he met the professor yesterday.
The saint was nailed to one place and looked around.
You might just think she’s looking for Leo.
I felt a little strange about her appearance.
No matter where Leo wants to go alone, won’t he at least tell the saint about it?
Except for the destination or purpose.
Also, if the saint was looking for Leo, she wouldn’t stand still and look around like that.
Why don’t you at least move and look for him?
Anyway, first we have to chase Leo.
After putting my worries aside for a while, I started following Leo.
In the same place as yesterday, Leo met the same person.
Academy’s swordsman professor, Ian Dexter.
Leo took the key from him.
‘The key, the key… ‘
I pondered for a while.
As Sasha said, the cursed scroll and the subject’s body parts.
A key secretly handed over to the professor.
The strange movement of the saint I saw earlier.
They fit together like a puzzle in my head.
‘Hmm, maybe… ?’
As soon as the conversation between the two of them was over, I ran to the place where the saintess was before using my footwork.
She takes off her mask, puts it in her arms, and reveals herself among the crowd again.
The saintess, who was still looking around, instantly confirmed that she was looking at me.
I can feel her gaze
I started making my way towards the gymnasium.
At this point, the direction of the gymnasium and the dormitory are opposite.
As soon as I confirmed she was gone, I ran back to the dormitory building.
We have to go first before they arrive.
I entered through the back door of the dormitory building and quickly headed to my room.
Fortunately, it was before they arrived.
The corridor is a confined space, but it is also bright, so it was a little dangerous to hide.
I hurriedly started smashing the hallway lights.
So that it doesn’t show, only the inside…
‘Sir, I’m sorry! I pay a lot of tuition, so please watch it!’
That’s how I darkened the hallway around my room.
I hid behind a flower pot in the hallway.
Thanks to the cat mask’s noise-blocking and perception-disabling enchantments, it probably won’t be easy to spot.
How long have you been waiting for that?
Not long after, the two people who had been expected to appear for real.
