The reason I asked Joey for help was out of a desire to win.

I didn’t want to say I was sorry to my grandfather, so I just moved my feet.

Among the people around me, Joy was relatively comfortable asking for help, which also made my steps lighter.

I feel burdened because I feel like Faby will help me even to the point of giving up all of her work.

Arthur will help me, but I hate it because it’s obvious that he’ll be very ticky and try to repay me for everything I’ve done.

More than anything, I think this guy will question the fact that I don’t know the basics.

But not Joey. If Joe looks scary on the inside but is soft on the inside, he will definitely help me without saying anything!

If you’re an idiot, you can easily get over my empty head!

My favorite part is the fact that Joey’s ears flutter easily!

If we go out to play when we get tired from studying, will Joy do the same? You seem to be asking back!

After this accident, I went into Joy’s room with my shoulder lifted.

“Black. Ugh. therefore. Black. This is.”

And as some time passed, I felt with my whole body that something was wrong.

what. what? Why did Joey suddenly burst into tears?

Even though Joy is a very sensitive girl, this is so strange.

I wonder where I could have burst into tears in the situation just now!

Did I lose my memory somewhere along the way? Is there something going on that I don’t know about?

It’s not? Even when I opened the log function, nothing strange happened!?

“ character. Black. sorry. Lucy. Please wait a moment.”

Joy, who calmed her emotions by wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, let out a long breath and held my hand tightly.

“Lucy. No matter what happens, I’ll get you all your knowledge back!”

Getting it back? What are you talking about?

I never had knowledge in my head, so what do I get back?

All I’ll get back is stupidity?

As I looked into Joy’s bloodshot eyes from crying for a long time, I felt her determination and slowly took a step back.

Something. Something is wrong.

I don’t know what’s wrong specifically, but something is wrong anyway!

“This part starts from the previous one. No. I’ll just explain everything from the beginning! Do not worry! It won’t take that long!”

Joy’s statement that it wouldn’t take long was a clear lie, unless she was mistaking herself for an elf.

How can 12 hours not be a long time by human standards!

“Lady Patran. She is the maid of the Aln family. Is the lady here?”

“Yes. Lucy is here. What’s going on?”

“It’s almost curfew time.”

“Is it already that time? There’s still a lot left to do.”

When I saw Joy’s eyes full of regret, I quickly closed the book and got up.

After escaping from Joy, who was so sad, I stumbled and eventually asked Erin to give me a hug.

I was so mentally exhausted that I couldn’t walk on my own feet.

I hate studying. I hate grammar. I hate math. Anyway, I just hate it all.

‘…I felt more comfortable when I was fighting for my life against evil spirits.’

‘That’s about it.’

Studying with Joy wasn’t what I thought it would be like.

While studying moderately, I chatted in between, and if I felt a little tired, I went out in the middle of the day to eat something sweet and move my body a bit!

But why did the genre of the study change from youth to passionate? Why has Joy’s room become a boarding school?

‘Well, it’s over now.’

‘…yes?’

‘that. No way.’

Grandpa’s words came true the next day. After class, as I was about to move around the training ground like usual, Joy came to me.

“Lucy! I don’t have time for that! The exam is just around the corner!”

“No. Idiot. Sleep.”

“Let’s go! I’ve already prepared everything!”

That’s how I did that day too. The next day too. And the next day too. I had to be locked in Joey’s room until curfew.

“It’s hard to see your face these days.”

Arthur, who met Joey in a magic class, quietly spoke up and Joey smiled awkwardly.

“What on earth are you and Lucy Arlen doing?”

“Study.”

“Studying? Lucy Aln. That guy is studying? under. That really makes sense.”

In Arthur’s opinion, Lucy Alln was a genius.

Instead of going to class on a regular basis, he just sleeps at his desk every day, but has never missed out on being the head of the class.

The one who overpowers most of the students who stay in the library and never come out, despite investing most of the day in training their bodies.

Lucy Alln, who had never shown herself studying to others in the past year, was studying all day with others.

Even lies have to be believable.

Arthur, who was about to criticize the duke’s daughter for making such poor excuses, swallowed what he was about to say when he saw Joy’s expression.

“Are you really studying?”

“Even so.”

“Huh. It’s fascinating. That guy is studying.”

The guy who had doubts about whether he would open the book was studying.

“If that’s the case, why don’t we do it together?”

“…Yes?”

“You might know better about magic, but aren’t I better at everything else?”

“That’s true, but.”

“More than anything, I want to check out how Lucy studies. Or what? Don’t you want to lose your private time with that guy?”

“Do I seem like such a bothersome person?”

“Maybe.”

Arthur shrugged and observed Joey’s expression.

It seems like he’s trying to manage his facial expressions in his own way, but it doesn’t mean much in front of me.

How long have you known this guy?

You’re hiding something.

“Tell the truth.”

“Yes? What?”

“Otherwise I will tell Lucy Alln all about your foolish actions.”

“Prince? I really know what you are saying.”

“I guess I should also talk to the saint. If you ask us to share our memories with each other, we will gladly respond. oh. Holy woman.”

“What’s going on?”

As Faby appeared in the distance, Joey’s eyes fluttered.

“Joey This guy said he wanted to monopolize Lucy Aln.”

“Oh my. Really?”

Fabi’s tone was as gentle as usual, but her eyes were not.

The expression on Faby’s face, which reacted strangely sensitively when it came to Lucy, was extremely fearful.

“I was already feeling a little jealous.”

“Sorry. Please save me.”

Joy, who could not stand Arthur’s interrogation but could not stand Faby’s tone, bowed her head neatly.

“So what is it?”

“What is it?”

“…Uh. Do you have to keep it a secret?”

After confirming that Arthur had set up a barrier to block sound, Joey carefully told him about what had happened a few days ago.

“Like that. Dear Lady.”

As soon as Fabi heard Joey’s story, she seemed to cry a little.

“Hmm?”

Arthur tilted his head as if he was having trouble understanding something.

Joy’s thoughts are not far-fetched. It would be surprising if the guy who was always at the top until last year suddenly turned into an idiot.

But still.

Lucy Alln wasn’t the type of person who studied that hard to begin with, right?

Doesn’t it make sense for a guy who solves everything with his own talent to ask someone else for help just because he forgot something?

Is it possible to only remember the parts that are specifically related to studying?

Even if it were possible, why would you take those memories? Usually, in stories related to collecting memories, valuable memories are chosen.

Was there anything unusual about what he wrote? If there was something strange, Archmage Erginus wouldn’t have been so perplexed.

Arthur felt his doubts building up, but he did not dare to voice his doubts out loud.

It was clear that if I said something like that in front of two people who firmly believed in Lucy’s sacrifice, I would be treated like trash.

Arthur, who had been harassed by the women around him, did not want to go into suffering on his own.

“Joy. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. I also want to repay your sacrifice.”

“Mmm. what. Same goes for me. If you need help, speak up. I have received a lot from Lucy Aln so far.”

“Yes. If anything happens later, I will definitely tell you.”

“The dungeon of this test will be different from the academy dungeon! Lady Aln! Look forward to it!”

As I watched the dungeon studies professor leave after declaring war, I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

The dungeon studies professor was gritting his teeth, as if he was very annoyed by the unusual method used instead of the standard method the last time he attacked the Academy Dungeon.

Who would leave a gap like that? Care should have been taken to make that method impossible.

Anyway, it seems that the dungeon studies professors, whose pride was hurt by what happened at that time, prepared for the midterm dungeon by exchanging their own bodies and the bodies of their graduate students.

From my perspective, it was a welcome event. Because conquering new dungeons is always fun.

However, my excitement did not last long.

Haha. I’m going to have to study until late at night because I’m caught by Joy again today.

I really hate it. I feel like I’m getting bored just looking at the book.

So, shouldn’t I just refuse?

If the other person was trying to bully me, they would have done it!

Damn it or not, I just did what I wanted!

But Joey’s actions are full of good intentions!

If I show any signs of being slightly uncomfortable, they will immediately show that they are hurt, so how can I refuse?

As I was slumping my shoulders over the fact that I would have to walk into hell again, someone blocked my path.

It’s not a face I know. Looking at his appearance, he appears to be an employee of the academy.

“Ajumma. Why are you wasting your time here?”

The moment I asked what was going on, the vocabulary of my mesugaki skill naturally brought out the word ‘aunt’.

“…Can you pay more attention when you’re in disguise?”

Someone said it was Caria. I was surprised by the drastic change in my voice.

“Don’t answer a question with a question. Spoiled old lady. So.”

“Aaaah. it’s okay. Do not say. I’ll figure it out on my own.”

When I nodded to indicate that I understood, Caria sighed and continued speaking.

“Employer. Are you not feeling anything strange inside the academy right now?”
