chapter 18
18. There is no such thing.
Hearing the principal’s words, I tilted my head and asked.
“A warehouse?”
“Yes, warehouse.”
Warehouse, what is it?
It was a feature that wasn’t in the game, so I tilted my head and asked the principal what it was.
Then, as if he didn’t know that, Stella started explaining to me with a teasing expression on her face.
“The legacy of great heroes lost on the battlefield, undisclosed heirlooms, etc. A warehouse is a collection of such things. In fact, it’s like a treasure trove… … .”
Stella looked at the principal and asked if she couldn’t believe that I was allowed to enter such a place.
“Principal, can I hear how the hell this happened?”
“A request from Miss Noah.”
“… … Noah’s request?”
“okay.”
When the word Noah’s request came out, Stella, who seemed to be rushing at any moment, pauses for a moment.
“Miss Noah has already been attacked twice. This is impossible.”
“… … Silenced rain, is that Rho?”
“There was also the opinion that it was not necessary because it was a commoner – but as an educator, I can’t go overboard like that.”
“Well done. If I hadn’t given Noah any compensation, I would have asked the academy to thank the academy as a princess of the Iritsu family.”
Stella put her hand on my chest and was so proud. The principal saw this and looked at me with a bitter smile.
“And Miss Noah said she had no reason to accept this.”
“Why?”
“It was you, Ian, who saved you both times. Why did you say that you were being rewarded?”
And when Catherine had finished speaking, she slowly lowered her head. Her thin black hair ran down her shoulder.
“Thank you so much. Ian-kun, thanks to you, the academy was able to avoid casualties.”
“… … Without me, Noah would have been fine.”
“It may have been. But that does not diminish the value of your good deeds.”
She said so and bowed her head again. But I couldn’t afford to worry about that.
‘Noah, this guy… … .’
You saved me twice, and you’re giving me a lot of stuff. Can you give me an event reward that wasn’t even in the game?
If Project Luna had been a game like this, it would have been a huge hit as rumors spread that it was a very good game.
‘I mean there is a heirloom… … .’
You will have to go to know what the heritage is, but the fact that there is a heirloom alone has a lot of meaning. Wasn’t I in a state where I had enough soul power to conduct the summoning ceremony right now?
If I had the heirloom, I could immediately summon a suitable summons, and I had the knowledge of the game to find out what kind of pet the heirloom was.
‘You’re lucky.’
I was looking forward to the day the treasure trove was looted.
* * *
After the conversation in the principal’s office was over and we decided to open the warehouse next time, Stella and I left the principal’s office.
Exactly, he got kicked out.
“There’s nothing good about being in the principal’s office at this hour… … Just go back and see.”
However, Stella received a penalty point in addition to that.
“And Miss Stella? You are penalized for using summoned beasts on campus. I’ll submit it later.”
“Hey, but I knew it was a real emergency… … .”
“Take responsibility for your actions, like a nobleman.”
Like an aristocrat, she couldn’t ignore those words, living as a princess of the duke family. So she graciously submitted the penalty points.
On the way back, looking at Stella, who had shrugged a little, I asked a question.
“What happens when you accumulate demerit points?”
“… … Don’t you know? Your conduct score will go down.”
“Is that reflected in your grades?”
“Of course.”
In addition, he warned that the accumulation of demerit points could result in low-grade labor such as cleaning classrooms and toilets, and in severe cases, suspension or expulsion.
didn’t know Do you think that the accumulation of penalty points affects your grades? And if the behavior is not correct, the penalty points are accumulated?
I thought of myself as usual. Oliver’s class, his homeroom teacher, was absent almost 90% of the time, and he fought one-on-one with him at the training ground and even defeated his summons.
‘… … Isn’t that a senior?’
I was starting to get a little worried. In fact, the system has not yet decided that I have won, especially since.
Whether or not she knew my worries, Stella was staring at me.
“why?”
“—Bar, have you eaten?”
“I could have eaten… … .”
Someone woke me from dawn, so I couldn’t even wash my face, let alone eat. She asked me as she twisted my hair, as if she was lucky.
“Hey, would you like to have breakfast together?”
“Oh, you do?”
“Who, who did it!? … I will eat what the maid makes.”
“Maid? Do you even have a maid?”
“—? Then you don’t?”
As if it was natural for a maid to exist, she looked at her tilting her head with an innocent expression, and then sighed and nodded that she knew.
“Then I’ll stop by my room and then go to yours… Get ready.”
“Why don’t you go right away?”
“Are you going this way?”
“Ah- I’m sorry.”
Stella looked at my outfit and meekly agreed. He woke up and couldn’t take his eyes off his clothes, his clothes were pajamas he wore while sleeping, and he was barefoot without shoes.
She said she would go first and went to my room. I broke up with her and headed to her room.
After spending some time in the principal’s office, some students started to appear in the hallway.
When they saw me in my pajamas and barefoot, they started talking.
If I hadn’t covered my face, I wouldn’t have been able to lift my head.
‘Well, what can I do?’
Fortunately, the children only chatted from afar, and did not directly harm me or do anything.
hahaha, if there is a big guy who can touch a 3-star Summoner in the senior grade (scheduled), I’d rather miss it.
When I arrived at the room, I simply washed my face, washed my dirty body, changed into a school uniform, and headed to Stella’s room.
Then, realizing that men could not enter the women’s dormitory, I returned to the room.
* * *
smart.
“who are you.”
About thirty minutes later, someone came into my room.
When I opened the door, there was a maid who looked like a doll.
It doesn’t mean it’s beautiful, it’s a maid with a hard and cold appearance.
“—Excuse me. Ian Clark. Are you right?”
“That’s right… who?”
“My introduction is late. My name is Nelia, who serves Miss Stella.”
“Oh, are you late?”
“Yes, sorry. Men often forget that they can’t enter the women’s dormitory… The lady is waiting for you.”
I followed the maid who came to me and headed to the women’s dormitory. Fortunately, this time I was able to enter the women’s dormitory without being controlled.
And as I entered the dormitory, I felt something strange.
‘No, why is this facility so good?’
It was incomparable to the men’s dormitory, or to be exact, my dormitory. My dormitory was also the size of a studio of about 16 pyeong, but this one was at least three times bigger.
“This is it.”
“Oh, yes.”
Come to think of it, there is a maid, and the dormitory is so good. It is doubtful that the school was founded by a s*xist.
As I went inside, I saw Stella, who changed into a simple gown and was waiting for me.
“late!”
A long dress that went down to the ankles, a large chest was highlighted in the middle, and a large ribbon tied at the waist to avoid looking fat caught my eye.
I looked her up and down. Stella sensed that she was scanning herself and turned her head and pointed to the table.
“What, what are you looking at? Please sit down quickly!”
“… … okay.”
As I sat down, Stella looked at me and tilted her head.
“Why are you wearing a school uniform?”
“Did you also wear a school uniform when you came to my room earlier?”
“Yeah, because I was going to stop by the principal’s office.”
“… … Did you doubt me before you came to my room?”
“no it’s not! I was just trying to ask what happened to Noah!”
“Why are you angry?”
“Who was angry… ! … … Yes, it must have sounded angry.”
Whoops, Stella took a light deep breath and looked at me.
“So, why are you? Where are you planning to go too?”
“no?”
“then?”
“I just don’t have clothes.”
“… … What?”
She looked at me as if I was saying something stupid, but this time I had something to say.
“I’m sorry, but unlike anyone else, I’m the child of a baroness who lives in a rural area with no money. I don’t even have money to buy clothes.”
“No, no matter how poor you are… … Noah has several of his clothes.”
As if she had never expected to be so poor, while she was looking at me with a sullen face, Nelia came to me with food.
“It’s been warmed up. have a good meal. Lady, master.”
“… … Okay, let’s eat.”
“I will eat deliciously.”
“Fufu, eat and drink and be surprised.”
Stella was so proud of herself. How delicious do you think it is? I looked at the food Nelia had made.
It’s breakfast, so it’s a golden meat stew, white bread. And salads were all that could be eaten lightly.
The more basic the menu, the more the taste would change depending on the skill of the chef.
Huh, the moment I took the stew and put it in my mouth, I forgot everything, including the stress I had received from this morning, and focused on eating the stew.
Dip it in bread, eat it wrapped in a salad, and eat it all together in one bite.
It was just a moment to scrape the bowl with a spoon.
“… … It’s delicious.”
“Give me more?”
“… … One more bowl.”
“All right.”
The maid immediately bowed her head and headed for the kitchen. While she was gone, I asked her about the difference between male and female dormitories.
“By the way, why do you live in such a big house?”
“Is it big? this? It’s inconvenient because it’s not even the size of a room in my original house.”
“… … Anyway, it’s bigger than my room.”
“Aren’t you and commoners the only ones using that room in the first place?”
“… … What?”
“What you are using is a free dormitory, and this is a paid dormitory. I did not know?”
didn’t know
And when I realized that this facility was paid for, I started to feel more at ease. If it was free, I would have woken up with a bamboo spear, but if I pay a fair price and use it, I can forgive it.
“Here it is.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
And right away, I drank the stew that Nelia brought with me. Stella, who was watching me eating my meal, made a hook when my spoon slowed down and spoke.
“Hey there, Ian.”
“… … why?”
“That, there you are. Now you can enter the treasure trove, and you can get one heirloom, right?”
“right.”
“So, that’s the bet you made with me. Won’t you do something that never happened… … ?”
Hearing that, I grinned and took another bite of the stew. When I asked why he treated me with such extreme sincerity, there was a reason.
But.
The bet you choose.
no matter what
never!
“no.”
There is no return.
* * *
Called by the principal, I headed to the principal’s office with a little nervousness. Arriving at the principal’s office and knocking on the door, he hears the principal’s voice from inside.
[Wait there-.]
After a while, the principal came out of the principal’s office, greeted him lightly, and started heading somewhere.
After chasing after him, she headed to a nook where students don’t usually go in and out.
‘What’s here… … .’
I thought so, but when she knocked on something in a corner, a hidden wall opened and a staircase came out.
“Come on, is this your first time in the warehouse?”
With a beautiful smile, the principal went down. After following up, the principal gave me a few caveats.
“Do not touch the things that are sealed inside, as they are dangerous.”
“No matter how greedy, only one thing is allowed.”
“And it’s not good to stay in the warehouse for too long, so you only have 30 minutes to look around.”
There were so many conditions, but I couldn’t even complain about it. He replied that he understood everything, and finally arrived in front of the warehouse.
‘this… … .’
It is the first secret of another world that has not been seen in the game.
