“It’s nothing. I told you before. I think it’s greater for someone born evil to become good than for someone born good. Well… It’s an opportunity, as the saying goes.”

If you say something like, “Hey, I brought you here because you have the dual-wielding ability, look good, and have content I haven’t tried before,” even Hela would obviously react with something like, “Are you crazy?” so just give her an appropriate answer.

“Is it true that those born evil are reborn as good? ”

Hela seemed to be chewing on my words. Opinions may vary, but I think those words are quite nice.

“My bitches… Hold on for a while. I’ll do my best to keep you from getting hurt. ”

“I can endure it because I have committed a sin.”

“I’m uncomfortable. And if a fight breaks out or we have to go to the labyrinth in this state, the fight won’t go smoothly because we don’t trust each other. ”

Although Hela was steadfast, she nodded her head as if agreeing with what I said.

From then on, we walked in silence until we arrived at the dormitory.

He said that there was a pile of things that I had ordered from the city at the entrance to the dormitory, so they were yours, so move them yourself, and went up to the room first.

“Okay, okay, please take care of it.”

The next day, when I walked with her to the front of the dormitory after dinner, Elfin, who had been calm even when Chesha teased her, became seriously upset as soon as she came into my room with me.

“Huh? All of a sudden. Are you going to study imperial studies?”

I looked at the shrunken Elfin, then threw my bag roughly near the dressing table and asked.

“I think so.”

“Okay. Are you going to wash?”

“That’s how it should be…”

Elfin looks around. Now that his days at the academy are over, he needs to wash up and either study or rest, but even though the male dormitory rooms are large, there is only one bathroom/shower room.

“Do you want to wash together?”

As I start to throw my clothes into the laundry basket as if Elfin doesn’t exist (thanks to Hela, I finally don’t have to do my own laundry or cleaning), she quickly turns around in shock.

“That, that, that, that’s okay…”

“Okay. Then I’ll wash first.”

I showed off my cool, manly side and washed up first. I don’t really need to spend a long time showering, let alone taking a bath, and since I’d already learned a lot of miscellaneous magic from Lulu, washing up didn’t take long.

First of all, since I became a beast-human, it took a long time to dry my hair, but thanks to Lulu, I can now dry it all at once with magic, so I feel like my quality of life has improved dramatically.

“Aren’t you going to wash it?”

Elfin must have been looking back the whole time I was showering because he was still standing where he was when I got into the shower and he was still standing when I got out.

“… … Wash, I have to wash.”

I felt sorry for Elfin, who had grown bigger and was struggling to keep up, in case he accidentally saw my body, so I quickly changed into his pajamas.

“You can see it now that you’ve put on clothes.”

Elfin glanced at me at my words. Then, after confirming that I was properly wearing my pajamas, although they were a bit thin, he sighed in relief and took out a change of underwear and comfortable clothes from his own closet.

“…”

As I sat on the bed, looking at the fluffy ‘Healing Wizard’s Combat Strategy II’ (a textbook but I have to read it as homework) in my hand, Elfin froze like a cat that has frozen when its eyes meet a human’s while walking down the street.

“I…”

“Why?”

“…”

It probably won’t be easy for you to take off your clothes in front of me.

Even though I realized what she meant by looking at me, Elfin slowly averted her gaze and made the shameful choice of going into the shower room with her clothes to change into.

It was a bit bland, but as I sat leaning against the bedside and read my textbook, more than twice as long had passed since I had showered before Elfin came out of the shower, looking fluffy.

“If you had just come out, I would have stopped you.”

“Okay, it’s okay.”

Perhaps he felt embarrassed to come out naked and have them dry him “Please”, so he dried his hair with his own hands.

It seems that the shower room is humid after the shower, so her fur doesn’t dry well, so she uses drying magic to make Elfin fluffier as her body is still not dry.

“Thank you.”

“Next time, you can just ask me to do it.”

“Umm…”

Elfin seemed troubled by my words. I took off my clothes first so that she wouldn’t be embarrassed or embarrassed, but when she reacts like this, it’s a bit annoying.

“It’s impossible anyway, and there are many embarrassing things.”

“Shh, it’s not easy.”

Elfin took out a couple of thick books and a notebook one by one and laid them out on the desk, using expressions that Hoyona and Bandi would use, as if it had become a habit of the book club.

“How much are you going to study?”

“Even if you can’t do it, you have to do it for two hours.”

I nodded at Elfin’s answer and focused on my textbook.

However, the amount of reading I have to do in advance is so long that it would take me at most 30 minutes to read through, so I quickly finish my portion of today’s studying and pull up a chair and sit down next to Elfin.

“…”

When I sat down next to her, she glanced at me for a moment and then focused on her studies. I briefly looked at the book she was looking at, but after reading two lines, I gave up because I didn’t understand it at all.

“You’re learning something like this, and you made the course schedule like that?”

“I was desperate at that time too…”

Elfin answers my words without taking his eyes off the book.

“What should I do after studying? It’s still 7 o’clock after studying.”

Since I usually go to bed around midnight, I have plenty of time left after Elfin finishes studying.

Usually, I would read books or chat with the male students who live in the same male dormitory, but because of the chaos caused by construction on the weekends, the male students I was close with became one with an incomprehensible banner of ‘Please protect our precious female time at all costs.’

“Well… At least physical training.”

“This is not fun.”

“Because it was always like that.”

I guess that’s what happens when you’re stuck in a room like this, with no TV or computer, and a severe lack of entertainment.

“What about the book?”

“I was reading something, but I forgot to bring it from the club room.”

Elfin, Ion, and Lulu joined the study group as a group of females, and as they read, they became interested and now all three of them often look at the group books. It warms my heart to see the females of the group starting to share the same hobby.

“Then do you want to go for a walk later?”

“…That’s good.”

At my suggestion, Elfin finally looks up from his textbook and smiles at me.

“…You’re finally looking at me now?”

Elfin blushes when you throw out an old joke.

“Mi, sorry. I have to study…”

“Haha, just kidding. I won’t bother you.”

I patted the embarrassed Elfin on the shoulder and fell down on the bed, humming a song.

“Good to hear.”

“Then that’s good.”

Where I live, it’s a popular song that’s long out of style, but it sounds new to Elfin. That’s because it’s not a song that exists here.

While playing Academy Story 2, I often played games with it on, so when I came to this world, the songs I used to listen to while playing the game would often linger in my head.

“I heard you learned how to play an instrument from Bard.”

“Yeah. So I’m going to try listening to some music lectures during the free lectures.”

“You have talent, so you’ll do well.”

“I’ll show you later.”

“Don’t expect it.”

While Elfin was studying, she chattered on and on, whether she listened or not, whether she answered or not. Sometimes she answered, and sometimes she listened without saying anything.

“When Professor Nir said he would check the status of spell slots, I thought he was going to faint. But of course he assumed there wouldn’t be any, so he didn’t even look at spell slots above level 2. He just praised me for having a lot of level 1 spell slots.”

“That was a close call.”

“It turns out that Damyeon and Professor Miru, a basic physical education teacher, are acquaintances.”

“Is this a self-made Lotus Flower…”

As we continued to talk like that, it was past 7 o’clock, and Elfin had finished studying and closed his book.

“It’s strange. I feel like I’m more focused than when I’m usually being taught by the prime minister. Even though you kept talking to me.”

“Does that mean I interrupted you?”

When I ask with a smile, Elfin smiles back and replies, “I can’t say no, can I?”

“Then shall we take a big turn?”

“Good.”

As I leave the room with Elfin, Hela, who had been leaning against my back where my room door was clearly visible, straightens up and looks at me.

“Rest, Hela. I’m going for a walk with Elfin.”

“Yes, master.”

As we walked out of the dormitory, Elfin didn’t seem too pleased.

“I understand you have a bad opinion of Hela, but I wish you didn’t.”

“Let’s try.”

“I went to the temple, and Hela heard the message from the creator god. She said to atone for my sins by living as my slave. She said she would consider it her first chance in life and be loyal for the rest of her life.”

“…I see. The Creator X is unpredictable.”

“Please tell the other kids. Even though I look like that, I see potential. Even the dual-wield combat instructor was surprised.”

“Hmm.”

Elfin glanced at where my dorm was for a moment and nodded.

“If it’s your request, then I’ll do it. Listening to what you’re saying, I think I’ll be seeing you for a long time, whether I like it or not.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Elfin. Do it well. I will be so grateful.”

Elfin and I walked in silence for a while. Then the first thing she said was a bit unexpected.

“I know that hyenas are discriminated against and that they don’t have many choices in life. If I could become an empress someday…”

Elfin was silent for a moment.

“Slaves… Like Hela, if you become a slave, you can get a chance to atone for your sins, or you can give a chance to hyenas, sharks, and crocodiles who are likely to be summarily executed as criminals.”

“I’ll cheer you on.”

We walked around the Academy for a while, cheering on Elfin.
