No hey, Ms. Yenika (3)
If you don’t smell the dawn air, you don’t feel like you’ve started the day properly.
Belle Maia, who had been living the same pattern for ten years already, was accustomed to the early morning air when the sun was still low.
The chirping of sparrows calmly permeates through the rose garden of Ophelis Pavilion.
It was still a long way before morning came, but Belle Maia was already wearing all the complicated maid’s costumes, crossing the hallway on the first floor of the Ophelis building.
The diligent senior maids had already left all the windows in the hallway open at dawn. It is very important to ventilate the corridor once with clear morning air.
Occasionally, he greets the maids who are cleaning in the morning, signs the leave record of the maid on duty who worked overnight, and then goes to inspect the various food materials delivered to the cafeteria of Ophelis Hall.
The inspection itself is carried out under the leadership of the senior maids, but Bell Maia, the manager, needed to go around the site and check with her own eyes to see if things were going well.
According to the policy of the Ophelis Hall, which strictly inspects food materials, about 15% of the groceries that come in from Elte Store every day are returned on site.
Vegetables that have died a lot during the distribution process, or livestock products that are not fresh are not paid for.
It may be considered too unreasonable from the supplier’s point of view, but in the first place, all the orders placed at the Ophelis Hall were of the highest quality food materials, and the scale was so great that I did not express any complaints.
Profits from large-scale customers such as Ophelis are enormous, so discarding that much during the inspection process is nothing but new blood.
However, food materials that do not pass the inspection are not collected again by the merchant.
If you have to carry it back to the old deck anyway, the freshness has been greatly damaged, and it costs more for logistics back and forth. Since there is not much profit left in a subject that requires a lot of work, it is a better decision in terms of opportunity cost to do other work at that time.
In other words, food materials that do not pass the inspection are immediately discarded at the site. Usually, they are distributed to logistics workers, or maids on site take care of them.
Bell Maia also, among these wastes, such as dairy products and spices… I was thinking of getting some food materials that would be hard to get if I didn’t get them through distribution and distribution, and distribute them to Ed’s camp.
It’s a product that will be discarded anyway, so it’s not really a sin.
“Here’s the checklist, blind maid. But… that’s…”
In any case, the inspection table requires the final approval of the maid.
The only difference is whether the senior maid brings the documents to the chief maid or whether Bell Maia goes directly to the site.
After accepting the checklist, Bell tilted her head for a moment as she looked at the table with the unit prices of various ingredients written on it.
“The price of food materials has risen a lot. Compared to before the vacation… It’s definitely burdensome.”
“I checked the production and distribution of the crops, but there were no issues…”
The senior maid lowered her head with an apologetic attitude.
Bell rested her chin on her chin and checked each item on the unit price table for a while. It was definitely an unnatural rise.
“I’ll explain that.”
There was a boy who came to the field as a working-level manager from Elte Firm. His name was Dune.
He was a boy wearing a beret, with a slim and shrewd look.
“The overall price of logistics from Old Deck to Aken Island has risen. In fact, it’s not just food materials, but the prices of school supplies, magic supplies, especially magic engineering goods have risen. As a result, other logistics items have been affected as well. It went up. It was an unavoidable decision, since we have to earn this much to be profitable.”
“Is this a matter approved by the deputy manager Lortel?”
“Yes, of course.”
Bell Maia looked at the sly-looking boy and fell into trouble for a moment.
In any case, the political judgment is not to report people, but to report documents.
In the unit price table presented by Elte, a consistent upward trend was applied to all items.
“All right.”
Bell nodded and signed the inspection ticket.
*― Percussion, percussion, percussion, percussion!
When Bell Maia arrived at Ed’s camp, she heard periodic sounds like hitting a tree.
From the riverside it was clear that Ed was chopping wood.
My physical condition has not improved properly yet, but I have already started working.
Belle grabbed a wooden basket filled with miscellaneous food and headed into the camp.
Remnants of fire were burning in the still-heated bonfire, and a familiar-looking luggage bag fell beside it.
A wooden luggage bag made from birch trees in the Pulan region belongs to Yenika Failover. Judging from the falling wand next to it, it seems that Jenika Failover returned last night.
Summer vacation is coming to an end and it is time to prepare for the start of the next semester, so it is not strange to return home.
“hmm.”
Bell took a short breath and looked at the cabin towards Yenika.
Before I dissuade Ed, I want to at least put a stamp on Jenika’s face. As it was, he put the basket full of food ingredients on Ed’s workbench, went to Yenika’s hut, and knocked a couple of times.
– smart.
― Kiki-Ik.
When I knocked on the door, it opened naturally with just that force.
When Bell tilted her head and looked inside, she saw Jennica buried in the bed like a corpse, with her head covered with a pillow as a helmet.
“Miss Jenica…?”
“Ah, Bell…! It’s Bell…! Eh, I was surprised to hear that Ed came in!”
“Oh, sorry…”
“Ah, no… Bell’s not sorry, but…”
Bell was embarrassed, but didn’t show it. As always, he succeeded in reacting calmly and gracefully.
“You’ve returned home. Are you sick? Your complexion is a bit… not good…”
“Ah, uh… well, I had a bit of trouble sleeping.”
“It could be because the bed has been changed for the first time in a while. You look very tired.”
“Yeah, ah, no… what the heck… I keep getting a lot of random thoughts.”
“Are you talking about random thoughts…?”
“Yeah, that’s just a real mess! It’s not that great and you don’t even have to wonder about it, just a random thought!”
Yenika held onto the pillow tightly and sat up with her upper body raised.
“Oh, seeing Belle’s face after a long time, I really feel like I’m back in Sylvania! Now, how are you?!”
“Aren’t you really sick? If you’re sick, I can take care of the medicine for you.”
“Oh, no, it doesn’t really hurt! I did have a little fever all night long, but it’s not because I’m sick, it’s just that… it’s another reason!”
“No, the fever is coming up, but it’s not sick. You shouldn’t be quick to judge something like that. Miss Yenica.”
“Ah, no, I can tell! It’s not a fever that comes from being sick! It’s my body! I know it well!”

Why does a fever rise in a person’s body when he is not sick?
Bell hesitated for a moment, not understanding it, but then another possibility came to mind.
Bell, quick-witted, quickly saw through that Jenika’s behavior was unusual.
However, it is still a possibility that cannot be guessed at, so I just tried my luck.
“It seems that Mr. Ed has been chopping firewood since early in the morning. His health has not fully recovered yet, and if he works already, it could have a negative effect.”
“Uh, yeah…?”
“Yes. So, as a caregiver, I would like to dissuade you… Would you like to go talk with me?”
From Yenika’s point of view, they live together in the same camp, and she’s not someone who hates Ed… It’s a suggestion that you don’t have to shake your head about.
“Oh, no… I’m kind of…”
But Yenika held her breath tight as she hugged the pillow. Bell Maia was convinced here.
something happened last night
Looking at Yenika’s luggage bag rolling outside without even bringing it properly, and Yenika’s strange-looking attitude, it was clear.
Jenika and Ed, who had been reunited after a long time, hadn’t seen each other over a bonfire for the first time in a while, wondering what kind of conversation they would have had… It is completely imaginary.
It’s a private life, and it’s a secret that deserves to be protected, but… Bell Maia is also a person… !
No matter how professional a maid may be, she cannot completely control her curiosity… !
Moreover, this is Ed’s camp, not the Ophelis House, and it is an environment where you can be a little free from the heavy position of chief maid… !
Bell Maia’s heavy principle of always acting like a pro is subtly cracked.
In fact, Bell deserves it. Considering her devotion, this kind of curiosity is not such a big sin.
However, it was impossible to question every phrase against Jenika.
As a veteran, she decided to get Yenica to confess by rushing in in an instant.
“…Did you, by any chance, sleep with Master Ed last night?”
Bell knew very well that it couldn’t be.
“What are you talking about!!! I didn’t go there!!!”
With a face astonished in the world, Yenika raised her voice in horror.
“… ‘until there’…?”
“Huh.”
In the end, Yenika can’t get out of Bell Maia’s palm.
I try to dilate my pupils with my lips closed belatedly, but the encirclement has already been completely established.
“Then… how far…?”
It was an outcall.

“Whoa, whoa…”
When I was in good shape, I could manage to survive two hours by chopping firewood, but in my current state, I am exhausted from working for about 30 minutes.
His condition has not fully recovered yet. Still, I have to start rehabilitation from now so I can digest the curriculum at the beginning of the semester.
While wiping away my sweat, I reviewed my magic abilities.
After going through various trials, the lower magics came close to being masters.
As far as wind blades and ignition, a wizard with more power than me would count them on their hands.
Magical efficiency has also been completely developed, and it has reached a level where it can be drawn out almost like breathing.
Now, I want to increase the number of middle-ranking magic, and use high-ranking magic if possible.
If you take the bachelor’s class, you’ll be able to learn a few of them, but in the case of high-ranking magic, it’s a completely different story.
It’s normal for them not to be able to use any high-ranking magic until graduation.
Even if you become a real wizard, you have to train for many years to reach the realm of high magic.
Humans who use high-ranking magic at the student level… It’s really a level where one or two people come out in a grade.
Currently, students at Sylvania Academy who can use high-level elemental magic can count on two hands.
Lucy Meiril, Ziggs Epelstein, Tracyana Bloomriver, Atalante, and a few honor students in the fourth year.
It is too conscienceless to expect high-level magic from student-level wizards, so high-level magic courses are not included in the undergraduate curriculum in the first place. It is an area reserved only for a few geniuses.
In other words, it’s an area that can’t be reached with bachelor’s classes.. We have to find another way.
― ‘Well, anyway, if you’re having a hard time living as an undergraduate, or if assistant professor Claire behaves like a dog, come and tease me. Because I’m amazingly good at the one thing I’m looking for.’
― ‘At that time, I’ll teach you how to handle high-level magic.’
What suddenly came to mind was Professor Kalade, who had been struggling with the final exam.
There weren’t many faculty members who could teach high-level magic to students. Because high-ranking magic itself is so complex and tricky that it is difficult to learn it, and teaching it is not an easy task.
Coincidentally, since I belong to Assistant Professor Claire’s lab, I should be able to easily approach Assistant Professor Clare’s advisor, Professor Kaleid.
However, there are already rumors about Professor Kalade.
A man of the dead, who is so consumed with tobacco and alcohol that he rarely has a moment of his senses. He is the idiot among idiots who wouldn’t have been able to make a living if he hadn’t had a career. The representative of human beings who live their lives carelessly.
As an advisor with such bad rumors, no one wanted to learn magic from Kaleid.
“Hmm…”
In the first place, I remember seeing Professor Kalade over and over again in the setting books.
The three professors who followed the guardian Obel Forcius to the island of Aken to teach. Seeker Glast, Outlaw Khaled, Severer Gellan.
I thought he was a very great person when I saw it only in the setting, but it seems that he is not like that in reality. From my point of view, there are many parts that are somewhat ambiguous to judge.
Should I think more carefully?
It was time to organize my thoughts and take a break.
– Pair, pair, pair.
A car that had thrown off its top and dipped its face in the cold river.
Bell came out of the bushes on my camp side… Appeared with applause.
It was a strange sight to see a mature maid who was cool and showed little change in her expression, clapping her hands.
“Come on, Bell.”
― Pair, pair, pair, pair, pair.
“…”
“Here you are, Master Ed.”
“Why are you clapping…?”
“It just… impressed me.”
As if he had learned a lot of facts, Bell had a complex and delicate expression on his face.
“Even a relationship that seems to be sluggish for life will move forward with time… I worked as a maid for a long time, and there were many moments where I felt rewarding and proud… It feels like another page has been added to the many experiences…”
“It’s very wordy for you… well, that’s it…”
I hadn’t worked very long, but I was already pretty tired. I threw the river water over my head again, took a deep breath, and sat down on a flat rock.
Dawn has already passed, and it is an ambiguous time to call it morning. It is now morning.
“I brought some discarded food from the food inspection in the morning. I put it on the workbench, so if you have time, organize it and eat it.”
“Thank you always. I owe you a lot, but there’s no way to pay it back. If you run into trouble while working at the Ophelis Hall, let me know. I’ll help as much as possible.”
“It’s okay. There are many things that need to be dealt with most of the work of the Ophelis Hall. I feel relieved in many ways because my body has improved a lot and my life has become sound.”
“Thank you for caring about me, but… shouldn’t you be taking care of yourself? You’ve lost some weight lately, haven’t you?”
Bell tilted her head as she stood with her hands folded in front of her.
“I’ve lost a bit of weight…but not enough to worry about. The first thing you learn as a maid in Ophelis Hall is to take care of yourself. You have to look neat, be mature, and be healthy before you can serve properly. .”
“Speaking like that, I have nothing to say… I’m tired of living with too much perfectionism.”
“Well, if it’s a body guard, Ed’s body is more of a problem… Aren’t you still in a state where you shouldn’t be working?”
I nodded roughly while checking my weak body here and there.
I tried to move my body for a while, but it still doesn’t move as easily as before. She can’t live by relying on Bell forever, so she needs to recover quickly…
“I think I can do basic camp management.”
Anyway, compared to before, I was able to withstand the magical load. My strength has risen to the point where I can carry on with my daily life.
“When the semester starts, you will be busy now, but I have to take care of my business.”
“Isn’t the magic restoration over yet? Will there be any obstacles to studying magic?”
“I have to work hard. I have to pay attention to other areas besides magic.”
“You mean the other side?”
I drew a view of the camp once in my head and then said.
“To expand the cabin a bit more. That’s one of the goals for next semester.”
Acquisition of high-ranking magic in the field of magic.
In the field of survival, a massive expansion of the cabin.
So, once we set the policy.
Other than that, there are a lot of things to do, such as crafting a special bow, contracting a new lower spirit, crafting additional legendary magic items, and training Aspect magic… The biggest policy had to be made clear.
In particular, it is very inconvenient to have to visit the soul library one by one every time you train in magic engineering.
It’s hard to go, but it’s a problem when it’s snowing or raining or other schedules are mixed.
If you always want to make time for magic engineering training, you need to set up your own workshop at camp.
However, the heating efficiency is not enough to build a new cabin, and more management is required.
That’s why I thought it would be better to do the construction of raising the cabin to the second floor now.
“I would like to increase the number of rooms a little more, and take out the second floor once and use it as a workshop and study.”
“…Then you will need a lot of materials and manpower.”
“I’m going to work with Yenica and get some help from the spirits, and I’ll have to discuss the construction manpower and materials with Elte Trading Company. Since it’s a financial matter, I’ll have to make a careful decision.”
“Can you afford the financial burden?”
“As I became the top of my grade, the burden of tuition fees completely disappeared. I plan to invest the surplus money in the camp.”
Bell made a strange expression.
I just sat on a flat rock and stared at Bell’s face in a puzzled way.
“Unexpectedly, I thought that you didn’t go to the dormitory. Life there would be more comfortable.”
“Now this is my home.”
It is a camp that has been built after rolling and rolling through the hardest times, enduring and enduring.
Even when I was most tired, exhausted, and in need of a break, I eventually returned to this camp.
“Anyway, you don’t have to help me with even the most basic things now. Whether it’s cleaning or making firewood, I’ve recovered to the point where I can do basic things myself.”
“That’s fortunate, but I have to come to camp regularly anyway. Don’t worry too much.”
“Yes? Why?”
I realized after I said it, but it was a rumor.
Belle took out an antique key from her waistband and showed it to me.
“I was supposed to clean the villa one more time today. That…”
Bell’s expression looks strangely complicated.
“Lady Lortel will return to school sometime tomorrow.”
*Yenika didn’t come out of the cabin until after lunchtime.
Occasionally, I could hear the sound of knocking on the walls of the cottage, or swishing the bed pillows… I pretended not to know.
For now, it seems like you need to sit still and take your time. It was clear that it would only have the opposite effect if it was pushed in the face first.
[It’s been a while since I’ve felt this satisfied]
Merylda, whose complexion had improved dramatically, was fluttering her collar, as if she had ingested a lot of very nutritious medicine.
“…For now, keep your promise.”
[ of course. Whoops, whoops. ]
A little after lunch, I lit the bonfire again. It was to prevent unnecessary wild animals from approaching, and to boil some drinking water in advance.
At the same time, I was thinking of preparing lunch together, but Bell, who was cleaning Lortel’s villa, came out, stopped me, and started slicing the ingredients himself.
In the end, I sat down on one side of the camp again and exchanged small talk with Merilda.
[The remains of the spirits are inaccessible at any time. When the time comes, I’ll let you know. ]
“… just say that and move on?”
[You don’t believe me? That’s a bit disappointing. ]
Merylda, purring mischievously, opened her sinister eyes, closed them tightly, and was hit by the wind.
[It’s not the time yet. when the wind blows stronger ]
“…”
[You probably won’t regret your choice. I bet you ]
Merilda said that, and with her mouth shut, she was greeted by the breeze that seeped through the camp.
Late summer is also a good time to be out of camp. It’s because the heat is also a grass.
Between the lofty, bright sky typical of summer and the scene of a forest full of vitality… I can’t even feel the sweltering heat.
Rather, I can feel the scent of autumn little by little between the small winds blowing.
As Ed Rosteiler, he is in the second semester of his third year in Sylvania. Can I take a break this semester?
Since I’ve been running non-stop, wouldn’t it be okay to take a break for a semester? There is still a lot of work left to do, but I think I deserve a little break.
With that thought in mind, I, too, closed my eyes for a moment in the face of the blowing wind. I hope you have a good rest this semester.
That’s how vacation ends.
Tanya, who will be busy taking care of family matters, Princess Penia, who will be nervous about competing for the imperial power, and Lucy, who went to the imperial family on behalf of me, all have to think about returning to Aken Island soon.
How the work at Ross Taylor Mansion will end… I, recuperating on Aken Island, still don’t know.
I just want them to use their strengths well in their respective fields.
*That evening, a letter from the imperial family arrived at the camp.
Of course, he thought the letter was from Princess Penia, but surprisingly, the sender was Princess Selaha.
― ‘The first princess of the glorious Chloe Empire, Selaha Einir Chloe’
The appearance of the letter full of rhetoric is luxurious to look at. Not only was it surrounded by a lot of gold rims, but it also had the seal representing the royal family of Chloel drawn on it.
“…”
Sitting by the campfire, I opened the letter with a puzzled face.
― ‘To the addressee, Sir Ed Rosteeler.’
― ‘The Chloe Imperial Family held an Imperial Family Meeting to determine the policy for the treatment of the survivors of the Ross Taylor family and the successors. However, since the facts were not fully grasped, it was concluded that the parties concerned needed to appear.’
First of all, the strangest thing is… It is that the title to call me has been upgraded to ‘Sir Ed Rosteeler’.
First of all, I got a strange feeling from here.
― ‘As Sir Ed Rosteiler’s agent, Sir Tanya Rosteiler took part in the investigation, but since it has not yet been fully concluded… The policy on treatment was also put on hold for now. However, there is a need to send back the talents of Ross Taylor who occupy important positions to their home. There must be quite a few people who cannot be reinstated in the process.’
― ‘Now that it has been concluded, Sir Lucy Meyril, who attended the meeting as Sir Ed Rosteiler’s agent, wants to return to Aken Island as soon as possible.’
― ‘There was a little commotion by Sir Lucy at the imperial meeting, but it was decided to acquit it after seeing the ball at the time of the Roth Taylor disaster. However, even after that, sitting in the imperial family and occupying my private room for several hours, holding the imperial palace chef, and wandering around the top of the forbidden spire or the basement of the imperial palace… There are so many problematic acts that it is impossible to write them all in a letter.’
― ‘Because she disobeyed the order to return to school, there is no way to use her hands right now, so I hope that Sir Ed Roth Taylor will send her a letter to urge her to return to school.’
“…”
“Whose letter is this from, Master Ed?”
“…Hmm..”
I know very well that the agenda for the Roth Taylor family was dealt with at the central meeting of the imperial family.
Well, it’s obvious what the story was about.
Supporters and opponents of the Roth-Taylor family must have split, fighting bitterly over whether their authority should be maintained or abandoned.
In the process, there must have been all sorts of arguments about whether I should be brought to court, whether I should be protected, or whether I should be executed.
However, it seems that Lucy was not alone in the meeting room. Although it is expressed as a ‘disturbing act’… It seems that they made a fuss enough to throw away the great merit of sending Mebula back.
Not only that, but after causing a stir inside the imperial palace, even Princess Selaha bowed her head and sent me a letter.
In short, the content of the letter is long, but… In summary, the main points were as follows.
Lucy Mayrill.
please take him back
“What the heck is this guy… what is he doing in the imperial palace…”
The letter was written in a formal and political tone, but beyond that, Princess Selaha’s expression seemed to be visible… .
I suddenly… I ended up feeling sad… .
