‘This child… I’ve felt this for a long time, but the way you really talk is a bit… ‘

Freya listened to my story and accused me of knowing why I suddenly became retarded. So I spoke with a bit of resentment.

“Wow―♪ It’s too much―☆”

“Ha, but… That’s what I’m saying… There is no way it will change… I have no intention of saying anything here, but… Now that I see it… Well, you too… Oh, how pitiful… ”

“Wow―☆ If you say such bad things, I’ll hate you~☆”

“Maybe that’s something you have to keep carrying… A shitty house, maybe it’s fate.”

I couldn’t come to my senses from the constant criticism.

‘… I have nothing to say about the fact that it is all my own business.’

It’s true that I conceptualized this and that.

However, it is not surprising that he is being criticized so harshly.

However, Freya somehow showed a slightly softened attitude.

“Me, me… You or… Same… It’s like being a slave to [fate]… ”

“… ?”

Freya looked at me with her purple eyes shining softly like jewels. The color is somehow the same as the amethyst embedded in a deep cave… It was a little scary too.

“… ”

“… Why do you look at me like that―♪”

Freya didn’t respond to what I said and came towards me. Then he got on the red horse with a calm face and said, timidly patting my back from the side.

Talk

Talk

“Well, what are you doing, you idiot? Go ahead and drive your bike… I’m starting to feel hungry… ”

“Yes, yes―☆”

“Mu, the robber boat is… The way he speaks is stupid, and there are parts that are insensitive, but… The speed of the bike is excellent… Rather than living like a beggar like now… If you pull a rickshaw on Hwanggeum Street… Well, I might make a good living… ”

“Ahaha… ☆”

“Well, then I… I’ll reserve a private seat… Mu, please serve the robber boat well… ”

“Ahaha… ”

“Young, consider it an honor… Workers who want to work on Golden Street… Um, there are so many… ”

“… ”

The words spoken in a timid tone were harsh. The closed heart opens a little, and a friendly feeling is felt through the actions. Thanks to that, I felt like the subtle distance between me and Freya had been resolved.

But I’m a little… Although it was just a little bit, I felt embarrassed.

‘I accept it quietly, but he’s really showing off timidly without stopping… ‘

When you first saw Bangtong showing off his equipment, did you feel this way? When should I play another cute prank on our Bongchu Bangtong teacher? I was very seriously concerned.

＊

We quickly returned to school on a red horse.

Perhaps because of the leisurely walking time, the sun had already completely set and darkness had come. Maya and Kara had been doing a lot of repairs to the equipment at , so the lights were shining more vibrantly than ever.

Freya looked at this and spoke in a timid tone again.

“Hmm… Well, I was just expressing my dissatisfaction with the beggar village… Wow, there’s more romance than I thought… ”

“Hey―☆ There are also girls’ dreams here―☆”

“So, honestly, including the robber ship… I don’t know what vision those bastards had… Sure, definitely… One person… stringent… ”

Freya nodded and muttered, seeming to find Lothar’s disparate interpretation of the magic left behind by the [Golden Witch] quite plausible.

‘Originally, Freya, who was on the outside at school, would never have encountered Lothar, the protagonist of the main story… I wonder if Rota’s awakening will happen sooner than in the original… ?’

At this point, Lotta’s talent hasn’t even budded yet.

Academy City’s magic powerhouse, [Purple Spinning Wheel], quickly recognized it.

This is the first time I have seen her, who is indifferent to others, say such kind words.

I felt an opportunity and started to get a little excited.

‘Just in case… If Freya provides private tutoring, there will be tremendous synergy… !’

Can’t you just blow up your skirt for your junior?

Subtly, Freya decided to scratch the pride she had as a member of a prestigious mage clan. Then, this timid and arrogant child might happily accept tutoring.

Thinking about Lotta’s future as seen from the knowledge of the original, I made a fuss with a little sincerity.

“Wow―☆ If a picky stray cat nods his head like that and admits it―☆ Does my cute house cat have a tremendous talent for magic?♪ Ah! Perhaps our will now have the title of Magic☆Prestigious?―♡”

“Don’t show me off… You don’t know what talent is until you dig to the bottom… Ma, a mysterious ship that even the magical ‘Ma’ character doesn’t know about… ”

“… ”

I was stopped with a single sword.

I was so depressed that I couldn’t speak any more.

‘I’m sorry that my dad is incompetent… ‘

So I parked my bike and headed towards the dormitory.

I felt a presence and quietly smiled happily.

And Freya also pricked her ears and looked to one side.

“… Hehe♪”

“Hmm.”

A girl with fluttering orange hair approaches from afar.

“Senior~!!”

The first to meet us was Rota.

She wore an apron and a hood and waved both hands to welcome me.

It was cute how quickly it approached, waving its short arms and legs.

‘Oh my gosh… Be amazing.’

I ran towards Lothar, waving my hands.

“Senior―!”

“Wow~♡”

Prison –

We expressed our joy at our small reunion with a hug.

Lotta, who had become closer to me over the past few days, now accepted me into my arms without hesitation. Then, the orange hair flashed and tickled the back of my hand. Because of the height difference, I bent down and the smell of fragrant bread came from the cat’s ears.

‘What’s better than a cat… A cat that feeds you… ‘

This place was clearly heaven.

The cat welcomes you, hugs you, and even feeds you.

Academy City is a paradise for cat lovers.

‘… There are also stray cats that talk timidly and constantly brag.’

I said to Lotta, feeling the warmth and embrace of those warm cat ears.

“I went there―☆”

“Welcome, senior! Freya-senpai, welcome too!”

“Cheon, I’m going to go slowly… ”

“Ah… Yes, please come slowly… ”

“Why, why are you giving me instructions… I’m going to go my own way… ”

“… ?”

A tilting head and waving orange cat ears.

Lothar was taken aback by Freya’s constant retorts.

But Freya didn’t care about that reaction and walked arrogantly to the restaurant.

“… ?”

“… ?”

The back of a purple stray cat moving away.

I spoke to Lotta, whose eyes were filled with question marks.

“Did you keep waiting because you were worried? My heart is happy―☆ I’m fine now―♪”

“No… I just prepared dinner and just came out.”

“Hehe―☆ I see~♪”

In fact, I have already seen them waiting impatiently…

Lotta had already finished preparing dinner and was still waiting.

‘You’re still very worried.’

The delicious smell coming from the cafeteria in the dormitory building.

Students attracted by the smell were gathering after completing their respective tasks.

A variety of dishes laid out on a table.

Smoked fish, grilled ham, stews with vegetables and meat.

And there is a generous amount of warm bread in the basket.

Freya sat calmly and ate them as usual.

“Bird, bigger than I thought… It’s worth eating… ”

“… ”

I looked at that figure with dumbfounded eyes. And at that very moment, Albit finished cleaning the room to welcome new guests and entered the restaurant after taking a shower.

“Rota!! Meat, meat~! After all, I’ll be cooking meat today!!”

“Hmm… ? What are you talking about? Do you always prepare meat dishes?”

“You can only cook meat if you have a table full of meat! Lotta, you always put out… A dish made with such grass or flour is not a meat dish!”

“Shaaak―!!”

Meat eater Arbit’s foolish actions.

Lotta cursed as if his pride in his cooking skills had been hurt.

I waved my hand at Arbit, who giggled at that.

“Welcome, Rbit~☆”

“Oh, have you been there? Are you in any pain?”

“Yes―☆ I’m completely fine☆”

“I will decide that.”

“Ahh―♪ It’s too much☆”

Albert didn’t even listen to what I said.

He came over and examined my wrists and calves with his rough hands.

The wounds and stains on my arms and legs have now completely faded away, no longer covered by bandages. However, the scar on the nape of the neck was still clearly visible through the collar of the school uniform.

The wound has healed, but… The scar seemed to remain forever.

“… ”

Arbit looked sad when he saw that, but soon changed his face and smiled at me.

“If it’s like this… hmm. Passed.”

“Wow, I’m excited―☆”

“But you still shouldn’t overdo it.”

“Yes~♪”

Freya glanced at us, then lowered her head again and concentrated on her meal.

The cafeteria in the dormitory building was noisy, with Maya and Kara joining in afterwards. Dinner eaten together by everyone staying at . After the stormy meal time, tea time was quiet as everyone sipped a cup of tea.

Through the open window, I can hear the broadcast from the press department of the United Student Council.

[hello? Good evening. Everyone, Academy City. press department so that each student council can proceed with the exam safely.]

As soon as Freya heard those words, she spoke in a low voice.

“Um, that guy named Her… Looks like you’re a bitch… That’s also the white one… Shin, you are from … ”

Maya answered while sipping tea.

“Ah… Of course, the kids over there use things like light and prayer a lot. Although the black things in do not pray for anything except money.”

“That’s right, those black things are those that only believe in mammonism and materialism.”

“Well, it’s just as you said.”

Because Kara and Maya also graduated from .

Dark elf… seemed to have ill feelings towards the children.

“Ahaha… ☆”

I was shocked while listening to the racist talk that was as natural as breathing.

‘Now there will be a rota at school…’ ‘I guess I’ll have to stop talking about being a furry animal and all that.’

No matter how much you think about it.

I felt like I was going to make a big mistake saying it out loud.

‘Pretty Filter sometimes speaks pointedly… ‘

While I was thinking that, I looked at Lotta’s eyes while he was drinking tea.

sense…

Fortunately, Lotta was holding the teacup with her small hands and continuously chugging the tea to cool it down. It had been a while since I poured it, and even though it was lukewarm tea, I couldn’t drink it.

Albit, who was sitting next to Lotta, suddenly looked at me and said.

“Senior, but our school has midterm exams… How should we proceed? All I know is that it is run directly by the student council… ”

“Small schools with less than 50 students do not need to have a student council―☆ The fact that all you have to do is go to the branch in each region and submit a simple assignment♪”

“Eeh… I thought about that for a long time.”

“Cheer up student council president―☆”

“Yes, yes… ”

sniffling

Silence returns.

Meanwhile, Freya spoke again.

“Well, now that I think about it… At our school, there are aristocrats with no ability, but only blue blood… Instead of presenting a paper… What, the result of conquering a dungeon… They said it would replace midterm exams… People in the dark don’t want to study, so they write… ”

Freya sipped her tea and continued speaking in an aggrieved voice.

“Well, with that, I… As the representative of the exploration faction, I said something before… Okay, suddenly I was exploring a dungeon alone… While we were away from camp… They come secretly and set fire to me… Because of that, I lost all my luggage and maps… ”

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

“… What?”

The reason why Freyja wandered the wilderness was suddenly revealed.

After hearing those words, the comfortable silence until just now became cold.

I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that, too.

‘I knew from the original work that Freya was hated by the noble children… I thought he left the house on his own this time… ? Anyway, you’re really giving the [Purple Spinning Wheel] such a hard time.’

If Freya goes back to school, it’s a life or death situation.

Even in the original work, they were afraid of that and only timidly kept it in check.

What on earth were the aristocratic students trying to get behind?

‘no… Anyway, what if I tell you such an important story now… !’

So I kept asking while keeping an eye on him.

He kept slurring his words, so I didn’t think it was a big reason.

I closed my eyes tightly at Freya’s surprise announcement.

The Nobles faction is a faction of students centered on the nobles.

The Exploration Faction is a faction of children who are serious about the study of magic.

The two factions were the forces that influenced the direction of operation of .

‘But in the middle of the story… At this point, the quest faction only relied on the value of Freya’s name, and the noble faction students completely dominated the student council.’

Freya was tired of that kind of school, so she spent most of her time wandering. Nevertheless, the noble faction did not dare to touch her… This time, I did something wrong.

“… ”

“… ”

We just look on in astonishment.

Freya paid no heed to those gazes and muttered in an eerie voice that did not match her sunken eyes.

“Well, I… I think I wanted to wander around for at least a few days… If I go back tomorrow… I need to take care of my hands… Because I just run away alone… Thinking that people are idiots… ”

It was that moment.

Her’s voice, which had been calmly delivering news from outside, turns into confusion.

[and… yes? ah… yes. All right.]

[Urgent notice to students living in the northeastern part of Academy City.]

[There is news that a large number of armed students are currently appearing in the northeastern wilderness. uh… and.]

The sound of paper fluttering around resonates vividly.

[that… Where are those students from? ]

[…] It is believed to be a . As an armed breakthrough by high-ranking etheric abilities is expected, students residing in the northeastern region, including , please be careful.]

“… ”

I was speechless after hearing the news.

‘Dungeon occupation… I was talking about a dungeon in someone else’s house… ‘

what… ?

Even though the fur beasts are arrogant, they are not a group that goes out like this… ?
