A few days have passed since the day I encountered Princess Mezlen’s ridiculous bean pod.

The academy’s daily life was once again going on normally, without any special events.

To conclude, I decided not to further intervene in the relationship between Harold and Mezelen. Because I couldn’t guarantee that my involvement in their relationship would make things better.

The fact that he has not been able to forget his widowed wife for 20 years means that he is carrying emotional wounds in his heart that are difficult for others to touch. No matter how special Princess Mezlen’s feelings for Harold were, to Harold, they were just the flirtations of all the ladies and nobles he had ever felt.

If I had intervened here in the hopes of continuing Mezlen, I could have made the situation worse, so I decided to just get out of the way early. If you ask her for information about Harold, she will answer appropriately without compromising her professionalism as a maid, but to the extent that she does not give too much personal information or subjective advice.

Since he said he would challenge difficult love, in the end, he had no choice but to face it himself, suffer pain, and endure heartbreak.

‘Because if I don’t do that, I don’t think I’ll ever give up.’

No matter how much I hope for Mezlen to find a proper partner who can love her, it would be a different story if it was done while interfering with someone else’s love.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to let go of a widowed wife and find new love, but forcing a remarriage on someone who doesn’t have the will to do so wasn’t my ideal dating style.

‘You have to experience it yourself to know. There are also things in the world that cannot be solved with one’s appearance and power alone.’

No matter how childish and lewd the princess is, she will get a little better after experiencing life, so hold off on interfering with her for now.

In the operation to connect the four heroines who had not yet been connected, Mezlen decided to leave them alone for a while, and there were now three people left.

Kael from the back alley, new professor Angela, and Princess Lainey.

Therefore, after Mezlen, I tried to connect Kael, who was the most formidable of the remaining members, with Cedric of the technical department, but this was a situation in which there was no need for me to intervene.

“Kael, are you hurt again? That’s why I told you to make sure to wear the enchanted shield gloves I made last time.”

“City, be loud! Well, can you wear gloves with such a ridiculous design?!”

“It’s not even funny. I like it because it has a cute design.”

“You are the only one in the world who puts things like cat embroidery on shield gloves, you idiot!”

“Really? Still, isn’t it nice to look like Kael? I made it with Kael in mind from the beginning.”

“This, this bastard?! Who says it resembles what?!”

Not long ago, when I went near the fighting club building to meet Kael, I witnessed this scene.

Seeing the combination of Kael, who was like a classic heroine, and Cedric, who was refreshing but said everything he had to say, I felt like something in my heart was strangely filled.

I’m not sure what happened between the two while I was neglecting them, but anyway, it was a scene where I could fully imagine the story of a well-written, pure-love couple.

‘If you think about it, even in the original work, if the main character had not intervened, they would have continued to be normal.’

There was no need for me to get involved in Kael and Cedric’s story from the beginning.

In this case, there are two heroines of the original work who have not yet found a partner, and among them, Angela, a new professor, said that she would try to arrange a meeting on her own.

Then, the last person I should connect with is definitely… .

“Haaa… .”

Yes, I know. From now on, it is time to prepare your mind.

Princess Laney. My goal will be complete if I just get one girl, who is very likely Ethan’s fiancée.

‘Really, I feel confused.’

It was so absurd that I had to cheer for Ethan, who woke up in the same bed this morning, finding success with another woman, but it was something I had no choice but to do once I decided to hook up.

I also saw Princess Rainy’s own ending while playing 『Luminor Academy』 in my past life, and since she is a character I have a lot of affection for, I was hoping in my heart that it would lead to as happy an ending as possible.

“What’s going on, Lilith? Why are you sighing?”

“… It’s nothing, Master Ethan.”

The protagonist of my worries talks to me from the seat next to the driver of the carriage, unaware of my speed.

These days, there are many outdoor exploration classes, so I often drive the Blackwood wagon, and Ethan always sits next to me in the driver’s seat, even though the wagon is in the back.

‘I don’t know if there’s any point in traveling by carriage like this.’

In this case, there were times when I thought it might be better for two people to ride on a horse together, but if you have a carriage, you can move with more luggage.

And there was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to hold on if I rode a horse with Ethan and clung to him tightly.

Even though we share the same bed and sleep and wake up together every day, I feel like the atmosphere would be very lewd if we were to bounce up and down with our bodies pressed back and forth for hours each way.

“Are you worried about this class?”

“Yes?”

“This exploration class. Are you worried because this class is about exploring necromancy?”

… Now that I think about it, this exploration lecture was about exploring necromancy.

I had forgotten all about it. It was Ethan who kept reminding me of this.

True to his word, this Blackwood carriage that I am currently driving is moving to the training site for the fourth exploration class of this semester, the Necromancy Exploration class.

You’re right, I’m talking about that class where there’s a lot of things like ghosts, ghosts, zombies, etc.

‘If this were modern times, it wouldn’t have mattered, but after all, it’s a fantasy world.’

If it was really real, it wouldn’t matter because it would prove that ghosts and ghosts don’t really exist.

How can a floating body that is not affected by gravity and physics be able to fix the body in the horizontal coordinate system? That alone was enough to prove that ghosts do not actually exist.

However, since this world was already a fantasy world with a species called ‘undead’, it was impossible to chase away ghosts and ghosts with such a shallow imagination.

Even if you tried to push the logic of ‘scientifically impossible’, it was a world where there was nothing left to say if the answer was ‘It’s in a game, what should I do?’ After all, ghosts and ghosts do exist in this world.

This means that encounters with ghost-type monsters, which have been avoided as much as possible, cannot be avoided in this class. And it was Ethan who seemed to have sensed my feelings to some extent and gave me a strange smile.

“It’s okay, Lilith. If a ghost or ghost comes out, I will protect you.”

“… You don’t have to. In the first place, wouldn’t my magic be more effective against ghost-type monsters than Master Ethan’s swordsmanship? I have no choice but to come to my senses and fight the battle.”

“For that reason, you seemed strangely nervous from earlier. I have a lot of strength in my shoulders.”

“When driving a carriage, you must always be alert. You never know when and at what moment your horse may act unexpectedly.”

“Oh, come to think of it, I heard a story from a senior in our department. About three years ago, an entire team of students who took a necromantic exploration class went missing, and there was an uproar at the academy… .”

“Are you bothered by rumors that have no basis and are just created to scare students? I’m not really curious, so you don’t need to tell me.”

“… Hmm, really?”

Since Ethan responded to my warning with a strange smile, I was able to easily figure out what he was thinking.

He’s probably imagining me screaming like a girl and running towards him during necromancy class, or something like that.

Although I say this on the outside, I don’t really like fighting ghost-type or undead-type monsters, and Ethan, who has been with me for a long time, also knows this better than anyone else.

“Well, what I just said was really just a joke, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“… … .”

“And you can rest assured that I will protect Lilith no matter what. In the past week, I have also been learning sword techniques that can be used against ‘ghost monsters’ from my father.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes. Even if Lilith can’t do anything, I’ll take care of it, so I’m at ease.”

“… Thank you for your words, Master Ethan.”

I feel like I am relieved in some way thanks to Ethan who gives me helpful words.

If I had Ethan, at least I wouldn’t be nervous throughout class and not be able to do anything and then fail, so I could fight this class by focusing only on overcoming my weaknesses.

… No, wait. Now that I think about it, isn’t there something a little strange about saying it’s thanks to Ethan?

“Master Ethan.”

“Yes, Lilith.”

“You’re saying that, but wasn’t the necromancy investigation class that Master Ethan signed up for in the first place?”

“… … I hope we can get there before it gets too late at night, Lilith.”

Ethan deliberately turns his head to my reasonable question and starts talking about something else.

I was driving the carriage to the lecture on necromancy exploration, admiring the shameless attitude of not knowing who he resembled.
