The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

34. A Little Misunderstanding (2)

It took me about 3 minutes to calm Leah down and I went up to the roof of the Bern Academy with her.

This is originally an area off limits to general students, but Lia and I are executive members of the student council, so we can enter and exit freely.

– Kung.

I closed the roof door and looked around. It seems like a perfect place to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

Of course it’s because you can’t come in the first place except for a strange species like us, right?

According to the original story, the place where Stella and Edwin have a tryst is the academy rooftop, and standing on the rooftop like this feels strange.

The moment I crossed my arms and tried to look down the roof, just like Edwin had done. Leah came up quickly and she stood close to me.

“You know, Cain. What should we do now?”

I didn’t say anything behind the scenes, but I can roughly understand what you want to say.

‘I tried to get permission from her mother using the fact that I’ve never been to the southern continent as an excuse, but because of the exam, I got a heirloom, so maybe this is good-.’

I tapped on the barbed wire on the roof and then said my thoughts.

“We’re going to take an exam, not sightseeing, so it won’t matter if we just keep going.”

“Still, wouldn’t that be a bit convincing? Will it be okay?”

“Yes, what. I think it will be fine.”

I said it indifferently, but to be honest, this situation was unexpected. It’s also true that the practical test for the original work was not conducted on such a large scale.

Dalian between 1st year students, sparring with the instructor. Also, this practical test would have been conducted as a practical training ceremony in which monsters were released in various places in the outdoor training ground and points were given differentially according to the number and grade of subjugated monsters. Instead of an outdoor training ground, the practical test was conducted in the Baron Lance Territory, where a continental festival, the ‘Hunting Festival’, was held.

I’m not quite sure how this happened. Let’s take a guess, maybe…….

“… ….”

…… The presence of Lia and I, who did not stand out in the original, grew too much. It’s hard to score us with a general test, so the size of the test has been expanded accordingly?

Well, I’m thinking such nonsense, close to self-consciousness. Leah tugged at my sleeve.

“Really? Are you really okay? Can I just trust Cain?”

“Yes, you can. What if it doesn’t work?”

“Yeah, what if it doesn’t work?”

It is said that awakening a saintess is important, but leaving behind a single letter is probably not a good idea. If that happens, there will be a misunderstanding that I kidnapped her, and both families will turn upside down.

After thinking about it for a moment, I glanced at Lia and muttered something like a joke to her.

“Wouldn’t it be enough to quickly find a unicorn and tame it in the spare time after taking the test? Then you won’t have to stay for more than a week unnecessarily, which will save me and Lia-sama time…….”

“…… No!”

I’m surprised. Why are you suddenly screaming?

I was startled and just looked at it, and Lia, the one who screamed, was more startled than I was.

“Oh, no…. Like Cain said, it can’t be easily done! It’s not wrong, isn’t it the unicorn that we need to tame? It would be very difficult to find and tame it, but there’s no way that’s possible with the time left after taking the test. Yes….”

“Ah.”

I said again, what does it mean?

It is not wrong to say ‘no’ in that sense. Just like Lia said, unicorns are divine beasts, so even finding them would be like picking stars from the sky.

“I guess so. It will most likely be a long game.”

“If it’s a long-term battle, how much do you think…… ?”

“Okay. Wouldn’t it be 1 week if you’re lucky and 2 weeks if you’re unlucky?”

“Two, two weeks…. Then, you’re saying that Cain and I can spend more than two weeks alone?”

“Yes, unless you are terribly unlucky. It would be good to prepare your mind in advance.”

“…… Severely?”

I muttered without thinking, but Lia’s expression hardened.

“It’s terrible…… ?”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about again? I glanced around, and Leah completely hid her expression.

“Yeah, no. Nothing. …… More than that, Cain, about this practical test.”

“… ….”

What is it, was it my mistake?

* * *

Lunch time.

Cain went to Edwin for a regular report, and Lia had a brief social gathering with her noble ladies from all over the place.

The members of the meeting were all young ladies who lost their faces during the magic lecture.

Because the focal point was Lady Ailee von Denis, the first daughter of the Marquis who protects the northern part of the continent. Useless conflicts cannot arise until they occur, so the meeting is always amicable…… Was

“… ….”

The atmosphere was not as good as today. The reason is simple.

Because Lia, who always received a lot of attention with her bright and lovely attitude, was shedding her sighs one after another with a face as if the whole world had collapsed.

‘Hmm….’

The representative of this gathering, a blonde young lady with impressive curly hair. Ailee covered her mouth with a fan and looked at Lia.

Leah von Eleves. It is clear that something bad has happened, that he looks particularly depressed today.

I can’t stand by and watch that lovely Lady Lia suffer from her troubles…… !

‘I’ll have to ask.’

Ailee, determined, opened her mouth.

“Leah von Eleves. Do you have any worries that you can’t talk about?”

“…… Yes? Oh no. There is no such thing.”

“No, it’s written all over her face. Right, everyone?”

When Ailee looked around her audience and asked for her consent, she eagerly nodded her head as if the other ladies had waited.

“Right. Her expression was very bad. Just like someone who has something going on.”

“You were fine until the morning, but after a brief visit somewhere, you didn’t get better, did you?”

“Oh, I saw it too. Who were you? Ah, the man who always goes with Lia…. Cain, I guess it’s been like this since you and Cain Reinhardt disappeared together?”

As the testimonies of the young girls from Class A came out, Ailee looked at Lia with the gaze of ‘Are they right?’

Realizing that there was no point in trying to make her excuses, Leah calmly nodded her head.

“Cain Reinhardt… …. Yes, you must have had something to do with that man?”

“…… Yes.”

“What happened?”

Ailee gathered the fan at once and asked in a dignified tone.

From noble mtl dot com

Lia slowly opened her mouth to explain her circumstances.

“Um…. That’s it. Because of family circumstances, I have to stay in the south with Cain for about a week, right?”

“Due to family circumstances…… ? Aha.”

It was Ailee who briefly expressed her doubts, but then she realized that Leah had spoken around her and nodded her head.

‘If a grown-up man and woman are staying together for a week, there’s probably nothing to talk about except for the engagement ceremony.’

By the way, was Reinhardt’s estate in the south?

Such a trivial question arose, but it’s not important, so let’s put it aside.

“Yes, so?”

“By the way, when Cain was talking to me, he said that. If you’re lucky, it’ll take a week, and if you’re terribly unlucky, you might end up staying together for over two weeks. Get her heart ready…….”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Damn it? Jade jade? No, did Cain-nim really use that expression for Lia-nim?”

“Oh, no. It’s not that she said she was damned directly to me. She said that unless you’re terribly unlucky, you should spend two weeks together.”

Having said that, Lia paused, then looked at everyone and murmured.

“I just wanted to say that I hate spending time with me as much as I said. I’m a bit worried about that…….”

“…… Hmm.”

Tak, Ailee opened the fan.

When she listened to the situation, it was unexpectedly not a big deal, but Cain’s tone also seems to be a little problematic.

Using the word “Atrocious” In front of your soon-to-be fiancé? No matter how much it was said to a prospective fiancée, the words themselves are not something that can be said as a gentleman.

This is her fiancé and the head of the student council to which Cain belongs. I’ll have to hand it over to Edwin von Edward to warn him.

Having made that decision, Ailee immediately turned her gaze to Lia.

‘…… Lady Lia also secretly has a soft heart, right?’

In the eyes of others, we’re already dead and we can’t live together, but we’re worried so much about such a trivial vocabulary.

For the atmosphere of future gatherings, and also to keep seeing the lovely Lady Lia. I’ll have to go ahead and give her advice.

“Leah von Eleves. I have a good idea, would you like to hear it?”

“Good idea…… ?”

Lia showed interest in Ailee’s words.

“Kain Reinhardt said she was worried that she hated spending time with her daughter Lia von Eleves enough to describe it as terrible?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Then. Wouldn’t it be a matter of making it a sticky and sweet time that I dare not call it terrible again?”

“…… Yes?”

Lia tilted her head, as if asking what that meant.

Ailee subtly tilted her upper body and whispered quietly.

“Did you know that all students who participate in and observe the hunting festival, a festival directly organized by the emperor, are counted as attendance even if they do not attend the academy during that period?”

“Yes, it is…” ?”

“By the way, the schedule for this hunting festival has changed. Our Bern Academy’s practical test will be held for three days starting from Jeonju. I’m sure it’s information I heard directly from my fiancé, Edwin von Edward.”

“Uh…. Then, then….”

“As long as you participate in the hunting festival, three days. Or that you can stay together longer…….”

Ailee, who was speechless, folded the fan and brought it to her own lips.

“If you are lucky enough to win the championship, you might be able to get a bottle of alcohol from the Emperor himself, right?”

“A drink?”

“Yes, alcohol. …… Why are you downing the drink when all the other good things are left behind?”

“Uh, do you mean drink this and get some rest?”

“No.”

Chuck, Ailee pointed at Lia with a hand fan.

“Wouldn’t that mean to praise the man who worked hard for himself, and ask the lady to pour herself a drink?”

“Ji, directly…… ?”

“The top floor of the palace reserved for the winner is a moonlit place. So, if you drink a glass or two while bathing in the moonlight, the moon will disappear vaguely before you know it. In her darkened room, her heavily drunk man looks at the woman she loves with the hottest eyes…….”

“… ….”

“…… What’s the next day, you know, right?”

Ailee twitched her eyebrows subtly.

– Blow up!

Leah spurned her seat and stood up.

“Eh, Mr. Ailee! Hey, I just remembered something urgent. Wait, I’m going somewhere…… !”

* * *

“…… Cain, the Huntsman. Hunt Festival!”

“Yes?”

“Application, quickly… ! Let’s go do it right away, next week, next week-!”

“No, Lia. Why did you suddenly come and do this….”

“Profit! It’s okay, so hurry up, let’s go apply…… !!”
