Chapter 13

“Ugh…”

I sensed the pope slip away from me. How comfortable. I could fall asleep like this. The pope stood up, still carrying my body. His body was relaxed, and his eyes were closed.

“I’ll help you wash up.”

I nodded drowsily.

The pope called for me after my break, and I found myself in his office. Now, it was time for etiquette training. I waited for the etiquette teacher that had been appointed by the pope himself. I pulled out the rewards from the equipment window.

-A weak drug of the same color as a health recovery potion. It’s comparable to a health potion.

-Available for attacking characters.

-Transferable to target characters.

– Ownership waiver is possible.

“Give up ownership?”

As I was fidgeting with a reagent of the same color as a health potion on the table, I saw the description below and said, “I’m going to try it.”

When I saw an explanation not found in the health potion, I took my hand off the aphorism and paraphrased it small.

“Give up ownership.”

Nothing unusual happened. I was a little disappointed and stood up. I heard a knock on the door outside.

“Mr. Haniel, it is Giorgio who was responsible for the education of etiquette.”

“Hello, Giorgio.”

“Yes, haha. The weather is cold. Would you like to ask for a cup of tea?”

As soon as the etiquette teacher came in, he said, “Here, the etiquette score is determined by the skill I get in the tea.”

I answered him with a polite smile. Of course, sit here, Giorgio.”

There’s nothing as boring as etiquette lessons in this game. I moved my hand carefully. As he gracefully moved his hand and pulled out of the car, he smiled. “You’re great.”

“Thank you, come on.”

“Oh, this is… Haniel, is it okay to put this in the tea?”

“Yes?”

Giorgio did not drink tea but showed interest in the vial that had been placed in the corner of the table. It was the same color as the health potion, so it was mistaken for a health potion.

“Just a moment!”

He poured his medicine into his teacup and started drinking tea without any time for me to stop him.

Why are you eating medicine without permission?

He swallowed the tea and vial’s contents together and put the teacup down the table soundly. His hands began to tremble.

He closed his mouth and squeezed his eyes shut.

“Ugh!”

Strange sounds flowed from his mouth. Giorgio spurned the chair and got up.

“Giorgio!”

“Ahh! Ahh! Ms. Haniel!”

Giorgio knocked over the table and rushed to me. He groped me.

“This is part of the lesson!”

Don’t lie! All you’re up to is etiquette training! I screamed at him and attempted to push him away. Spare me!

As my screams continued, the door shattered. In fact, the half-broken door rattled.

“Ms. Haniel! Oh, Ardal.”

“I’m training, Ardal!”

Ardal, who had entered, approached me, reaching out from under Giorgio. He saw Giorgio and made a suspicious vote that caused me to rush.

“Why was Haniel so surprised when he was teaching?”

“That, it is……!”

Ardal hid me behind him and questioned Giorgio. I grabbed the hem of Ardal’s clothes and said carefully.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have suddenly raised the volume of my voice. I was just so surprised…”

“Are you saying that you aren’t allowed to make a sound during training?”

Ardal, who was interrogating Giorgio, asked with a hardened expression on his face. He clenched his teeth in anger.

“The Holy Father doesn’t like it when I raise my during my training…so, it’s my fault that I had suddenly screamed in the middle of training.”

The Pope is a character that liked to bully me. He said that if I make noise during training, I’ll be punished. However, the Pope actually preferred it when I make noises.

But it was something that I had figured out in the previous time that I played the game. For now, this was a good situation for me to help increase my favorability with Ardal. Ardal seemed to have realized something amiss in my words as he clenched his fists.

“The Holy Father said that to Lady Haniel?”

I squeezed the hem of my dress and nodded.
