Episode 76
âOh, that jerk Crown Prince, why is he dragging my time too muchâ¦â¦â¦!â
If Iker hadnât held me up as an excuse to talk at the end, I could have returned to the Academy at 2 p.m.
But because of my conversation with him, I had to stay in the Noble State field for about 40 minutes more than other Housekeepers.
After all, I was swearing, changing my clothes at full speed and running for class.
Since I submitted a note of absence, it wouldnât affect my attendance, and it didnât matter if I went back to my room and rested.
However, it was a loss to give up classes since I have paid the tuition fees that feels like sucking my blood.
âShould I not change my clothes?â
But soon I shook my head again.
It was obvious that this fancy dress would attract everyoneâs attention.
And when I thought of wearing this clothing while having a practical class, my stomach felt twisted.
It was a nice outfit, but wearing this was like wearing a mustang or tuxedo to an elementary school studentâs birthday party.
In the meantime, I arrived at the classroom and carefully opened the door.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to enter the classroom unnoticed.
As soon as the door opened, I made eye contact with the students attending the class, and the professor looked back at me with a slight surprise.
âAhâ¦â¦sorry⦠Iâm sorryâ¦.. Iâm⦠I just got here andâ¦â¦.â
I ran so fast that my lungs felt sore and my head felt dizzy.
The professor said that it was okay with a pitiful face as if he didnât like me speaking gibberish.
He told me to sit down quickly.
For more,
âAh.â
As I approached the silhouette, I saw familiar features.
The emerald eyes, dimly moonlit, glowed softly.
âWhy are you out at night?â
Rayl asked, with his eyes wide open.
âOh, I canât sleep.â
âYou canât sleep? Didnât you leave early in the morning?â
âYes.â
âAnd yesterdayâs banquet ended after midnight. Thereâs no way you canât sleep.â
I answered his words with a scratch on my head.
âI was worried that I might doze off at a Housekeepers conference, so I picked up a lot of your nutritional supplements and drank it. And I think this is what happened.â
âWhat? I told you to drink just the right amount.â
Rayl was sensitive to ignoring the dosage and how to take it, perhaps because of his speciality in making magic drugs.
Still, I couldnât help it because I was desperate enough not to fall asleep the next day.
âYou made it anyway, so there will be nothing bad about my body.â
âI made it with only good ingredients, but if itâs too much, itâll have side effects. Although, Iâve tried to reduce it as much as I can.â
âI donât know, Iâll just trust you, the magic golden hand. Iâm fine except for that I canât sleep right now anyway.â
âOh, I donât know.â
And for a while, the silence sank.
For some reason, as I was still looking at the starry sky, the conversation didnât come back and forth, and it wasnât until a few minutes later that Rayl opened his mouth first.
âHey.â
âHuh?â
The moment I looked back at him, I was very surprised.
The way he was laughing and chatting until just now went away, and Rayl, who looked as serious as he was making the magic drugs, was looking at me.
I didnât know what questions would come out of his mouth.
âHow did the Housekeepers meeting feel?â
I looked at his eyes with a clear, strong will, and quietly bit his lips.
âââââ
