How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

41 – String (7)

“pumpkin?”

“Strawberry!! My God, that’s amazing! I think I can recognize you now!”

“I told you. I’m sure you won’t recognize it, so let’s set a password in advance. How about it? Am I right?”

“Yeah…! But Ed, that’s really ridiculous. How can you make people not recognize me when I’m standing right in front of them? I’ve never seen glasses like these before…”

“It’s nothing special. It’s just something that nobles have one at a time.”

“What…? Who is… stupid. If you don’t want to tell me, just say no… heh.”

“Huh? Ellie, wait! Let’s go together! Hey!”

The morning of the first holiday after returning to school.

I’m holding onto Ellie who is pouting, or maybe pretending to be pouting, in front of the stone fountain in the central square of the academy and trying to soothe her.

As an apology for what happened last time, Ellie strongly demanded that I write an entire day off during the holiday, and I readily accepted Ellie’s request, as I was in a position where I had to accept whatever she wanted. In fact, I think it was rather cheap at this price…

“Sorry, Ellie. I’m sorry… I honestly don’t know. I just got it by accident. I was joking, huh?”

“Then did you say that from the beginning…I get it. But Ed, wearing glasses really suits you… How about wearing glasses every day…? …”

The glasses I’m wearing right now are one of those I got from the Demon Realm, and they’re called ‘Twin Star Crystal Glasses’.

At the time I got it, I couldn’t figure out how to use it, so I just kept it, but I was able to come up with the effect belatedly, perhaps thanks to the influence of acquiring the tome of intelligence amplification.

Glasses that make their presence obscure to people other than those who recognized them from the start, just by wearing them. It was a very insignificant item in the game, but I never thought that it would be useful in such an absurd place.

“What? If you want to talk, you have to finish it. What did you say?”

“…I don’t know. But Ed, it’s the first time you’ve seen me in plain clothes… I didn’t look good in Drachton… How…? Are you okay…?”

Ellie spoke shyly, gently lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands and turning her body around.

“It’s not to the extent that it’s okay, it suits you really well. If it wasn’t for the school uniform, I think I could wear it like this every day.”

“Really…? hehehe…good…”

What I said to Eli wasn’t just empty words.

Ellie came out wearing a white dress with a light frill at the end, and the outfit created a strange synergy with Ellie’s atmosphere, giving the viewer tremendous destructive power.

Ellie, who was smiling innocently, realized belatedly that she was making a sloppy expression, and with her face blushing like an apple, she ran out of the square like a dart.

The long holiday was about to begin.

***

These days are very peaceful days.

Compared to the busily moving in the early days when he regained his memory, there is nothing lacking at all to say that he was in a calm and peaceful state.

It’s not that I’m living a lazy life, I have nothing to worry about right now.

It’s been a long time since Eugene has already solved all the minor incidents that have occurred in the academy like the original story.

And I don’t know the exact date, but one more important incident will happen sooner or later, but when I think about it, this is not something I can intervene in.

It’s not directly related to our territory, it’s not like it’s not hurting people, but rather, it’s because you can scratch it and make a boil while doing something useless.

Anyway, because of that, these days, my daily routine has been fixed to some extent.

Listening to lectures faithfully with Ellie while enduring glare from others, attending supplementary classes to keep up with the delay, visiting the library two or three times a week, taking time to organize the knowledge of the original work from time to time, Continue your training.

And for one or two days a week, I meet Ellie outside and go around the sights around the academy.

Ellie’s existence was a much bigger support for me than I thought.

In a class D life where there are few people I can get along with, I never thought that having at least one person I could show my true feelings to would be so helpful.

My mind is that of an ordinary person, so if I hear the evil words being poured out around me, I can’t help but feel that my heart is being devastated.

On top of that, on days when I dreamed of a soldier torn from his limbs by a troll, or a thug I killed with my own hands in Drachton, I had to spend the whole day feeling chills.

However, on the days I met Ellie outside, I could feel these stresses dissipating to some extent.

Ellie said that this was also her fault and showed a very sorry look.

Ellie…

What a good kid.

Even then, when I left without revealing my name, they said that they searched for it for a long time, and the academy seemed to be unable to enjoy school life properly because they were accommodating to my unreasonable demands…

Since I received a lot from Ellie, it would be right for me to listen to her requests as much as I can.

If there’s one thing that’s embarrassing, these days, Ellie is getting closer and closer.

For example, he grabbed my forearm thinking he was going to lose his way, and at some point he saw that it turned into a folded arm.

When I sit down at a table, I try to sit next to it, not across from it.

When he sits, he doesn’t just sit still, he plays a joke by touching the back of my hand with his finger…

At first, I was a bit surprised by that approach without hesitation, but these days, after hearing Ellie say that this is the standard among close friends, I’m beginning to understand it to some extent.

That’s how close Ellie thinks of me. To be honest, it was good if I felt good, but I don’t feel bad at all.

Ellie had a decent level of common sense in this area – according to her own assertion – and before my memory returned, I was not interested in this at all, so my knowledge of the opposite s*x here is mostly dependent on what Ellie taught me. It was what was happening.

And one thing I learned is that this world is surprisingly open in many areas.

Even in aristocratic society, there was an unspoken rule that ‘every relationship with the opposite s*x at the academy will be left unresolved after graduation unless it goes to the end’.

Of course, people have different opinions about how far the ‘end’ will go, but…

At first, I wondered how on earth that would be possible, but if there were no such rules, there might be problems developing the relationship between the protagonist and the heroine’s’, so wouldn’t it be? In the end, I turned it around and understood it.

Of course, understanding something roughly in your head and going over it, and experiencing it with your skin in real life are two different things. Thinking about it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable…

“Excuse me for a moment. Is there a junior named Edwin Reed here?”

break between lectures.

I was trying to push in the unpleasant thoughts that came to my mind, but a tall-looking male student came in through the front door and turned his head around, calling my name.

Judging from the badge on my chest, I look like a sophomore, what the hell is a sophomore going to find me for? ?

“I’m Edwin. What are you looking for?”

When I got up from my seat and answered, a senior in the second year came closer to me.

“Ah, nice to meet you, junior. It was none other than someone who told me to bring my junior, so I took the risk of rudeness and came here like this. You’re very close with my junior, so could you give me some time?”

Someone close to me… ? Is that someone who would have a senior in the second grade run errands and tell me to come? Who would have been able to do that? Oh, maybe?

There was someone who could roughly guess, so I decided to follow the senior. As I was about to follow him, Ellie, who was sitting next to me, grabbed me by the collar.

“I…Ed…me too…”

“You’re here, Ellie. I’ll be right back.”

I gently grabbed Ellie’s hand by the collar and released it, followed her outside the classroom.

It seems like we decided not to do this at the academy, but these days Ellie keeps crossing the line little by little.

There were no students nearby, so I somehow answered, but if this situation keeps repeating, it could be difficult. I’ll have to talk to Ellie again later…

When I went down the stairs to the outside of the stone pagoda, there was a group of people standing in a circle, including the senior who guided me earlier.

One peculiarity was that there was only one female student in the group, compared to six or seven male students.

And as soon as I saw the girl’s face, I immediately knew who it was.
