Episode 204
– Ring ring! Purring!
“Hmm…”
I woke up to the loud sound of my alarm clock and got up from my seat while yawning.
“hmm?”
The weather had become quite chilly these days, so I threw the blanket aside and was about to get out of bed, when I noticed someone under the bed and tilted my head.
“Hmm…”
Eventually, when I lowered my head, what came into my field of vision was Lulu, who was asleep, curled up next to my bed in her pajamas.
“……”
These days, she often comes into my room and sleeps. She tried to stop him, but she said it was natural for pets to sleep next to their owners, so she had nothing to say to refute her words.
“Lulu.”
“Huh.”
There was a cold atmosphere in the room, so I stretched out my hand to wake her, but she bit my finger in her sleep.
“ouch.”
Thanks to this, I frowned slightly, but then left her wringing her fingers and sighed and fell into thought.
‘Today… was the day you met Icy, right?’
Yes. Today, I received a letter from Icy asking me to meet her.
‘And… it’s also the day I receive training from Isolette…’
It’s been a week since I received a threatening and unreasonable offer from Isolette.
If I meet Icy before stopping by Isolette’s house today, I will have met all the sub-heroines I need to meet.
Of course, there are still some that need observation and some that you need to be careful about… but at least you will save yourself an hour.
“Eve…”
With that thought in mind, I gently took my wet finger out of Lulu’s mouth and carefully stood up.
“I even prepared a new bed, so what’s so great about a place like this?”
After that, I carefully covered Lulu with the blanket I was covering to avoid waking her up, and then quietly headed to the desk.
“master…?”
But despite all that effort, she woke up around the time I sat down on the chair, rubbed her eyes for a moment, then slowly got up and started walking towards me.
“lol…”
She came right behind me, hugged me, and started kissing me on the cheek.
‘Here we go again…’
Since a few days ago, there have been a lot of cases of being attacked by someone like this.
After being attacked by Isolette, Lulu became aggressive for some reason and was always hugging me while I was lying or sitting as if I were a large dog.
Irina’s pet, a large red dog, always attacks me and knocks me down every time I try to be cute.
Thanks to this, I’ve been feeling dispirited lately. My back is also a bit sore.
– Sigh…
While I was thinking about that and opening the envelopes on my desk, the door opened and Irina came in.
“Oh, today’s breakfast… Frey.”
She places omurice with a heart pattern on my desk, pricking her puppy ears that haven’t disappeared yet.
Today again, as usual, I was looking at her in a maid’s uniform, glancing at me, and as I stared at her, I immediately asked her a question.
“Irina, I have something to ask you.”
“Yes, yes, tell me. Answer anything…”
“When is Klarna coming?”
“…..!!!”
Irina, who looked at me with eager eyes at first, froze when she heard those words.
“Why are you asking that? Frey?”
Before long, she sat next to me in a cold sweat and urgently asked me a question.
“No, I’m just curious. You didn’t tell me exactly when you were going to the West Continent and when Clanna would come, right?”
“ah…”
Irina, who heard those words, began to look blank for a moment.
“Well, now that I think about it… there isn’t much left… what should I do? It’s shift change soon… ugh…”
“Irina?”
“What we have done so far is not enough… we need to make an impact… we need to do something with an impact…”
Then she started muttering something with a possessed expression.
“Have you made contact with the magic tower lord?”
I asked Irina a question about something I asked her to do a few days ago.
“Oh, uh… not yet. I don’t know why, but I haven’t heard from you. I guess you’re busy with something.”
“Hmm…”
Such an answer came back.
“I wanted to ask you about the experiment in which the ‘youngest paladin’ was involved, but it’s a shame. I wish I could contact you as soon as possible…”
“Oh, should we attack right now? If I take that ‘pet’ with me, I’m sure I won’t lose even if I fight that damn old woman…”
“Okay, today I have to go see Icy. I also have to meet Isolette.”
“…ah.”
After calming down Irina, who was slightly excited, I looked at her ears that were shaking excessively and spoke carefully.
“Uh, Irina. I have a favor to ask… You have that pet dog.”
“huh?”
“I think it’s estrus these days. Can’t we do some education or something?”
When Irina heard that, she started to bruise.
“She keeps attacking me these days? I don’t know if it’s once or twice, but she attacks me multiple times… It’s a bit strange. She’s also a female. So, I guess I should get her neutered…”

“Come on, I’ll control myself!”
“what?”
“No, I’ll control it! It won’t attack you so often from now on. Yes, yes.”
Eventually, Irina, whose face became very red, answered and quickly left the room.
“”……..””
And silence fell in the room for a moment.
“Sir, next time that dog attacks you, please tell me.”
Lulu, who was hugged behind me, broke the silence and whispered in a low voice.
“I am the owner’s only pet, so I will punish you.”
After saying that, Lulu licked my face once and then left the room.
“Whoa.”
As I was left alone in the room, a cold feeling began to surround my entire body.
“I’m happy…”
In that room, I looked at the things on the desk with a smile.
“I’m happy, but…”
He soon withdrew his smile and trailed off with a slightly dark expression.
“I’m feeling a little anxious these days…”
Now I am very happy. It’s so much better than in the past when I had to do everything on my own.
So sometimes it’s scary.
Because I am afraid that this happiness will disappear at any moment.
When I did everything on my own without any colleagues, I felt lonely but at ease. Because all I had to do was protect myself.
But now it’s Kania, Irina, Klarna, Serena, and Perloche. And even Lulu, who recently came to live in my house. Quite a few people became completely on my side.
So I’m no longer lonely or unhappy, but now I have to protect them, so I feel anxious sometimes.
So, it’s winter break and I need to somehow heal my festering insides before starting my second year, but for some reason, I keep looking for work and doing it.
Happy times are great, but they pass by so quickly.
Just now, hasn’t a week and a few days passed by in the blink of an eye?
Even when I think about the irony of looking for something to do in order to enjoy this peaceful and enjoyable time for as long as possible, I laugh out loud.
When there’s no one around, my heart rots away from loneliness, but when I have colleagues, my heart starts to erode into anxiety… I don’t think I’m the kind of person who wants to live comfortably either.
“Ugh…”
I heard that Demon Lord Ruby is getting better. If so, the ‘verification ceremony’ will be held within this vacation.
After the ‘Fake Hero Verification Ceremony’, which is the main event of the winter vacation and where I fall in earnest.
What I will experience next are major events such as the ‘Student President Election’ and ‘War with the Church’, which are the main events of the second year.
And the finale, of course, will be the ‘Academy Battle’ and the fourth trial.
Will I be able to finish them without a single casualty? Can I really save these women for whom I would even sacrifice my life?
“…Originally it would have been impossible.”
After muttering that, I stood up, trying to soothe my heart, which had been feeling anxious lately, perhaps because I was weak or because it was a psychological problem.
“Aww.”
At that moment, a cat doll sticks its head out from my coat pocket.
“Puh… When did you go there again?”
A gift from Kania, who had called me a few days ago in a confused voice asking if I had been kidnapped, and who had been cautiously asking me about my tastes, was now staring at me.
– Sigh…
Then, out of nowhere, he handed me a note.
“ah.”
Only after seeing that note, I was able to smile a little bit again.
-DLC
A note with a half-moon, boomerang, and crescent shape drawn on it that Serena gave her as a birthday present.
“Aewon…”
“Yes, I know.”
I smiled and petted the cat holding the note that I always kept in my coat pocket.
“Hope definitely exists.”
“Aow!”
I put the note in my pocket and left the room.
“Get the carriage ready, we have to go see Icy.”
“…yes.”
“And I’ll stop by Isolette’s house. Make sure you do all the housework by then.”
Eventually, I gave that command to Aris, who was sweeping the hallway with an expressionless expression.
“I received flowers and a letter from Mr. Roswin… What should I do…”
“Send it back.”
After answering the question of Arianne who appeared next to me, I went down to the first floor.
“…Irina, now that I think about it, the test results from back then. Are you sure about that?”
“huh?”
And when I saw Irina waiting for me at the entrance, I asked that question.
“You asked me to test for the curse last time. Is that really true?”
“Oh, is that…? I’m sure. I checked every inch of your body myself.”
“hmm…”
When I heard those words, I was lost in thought for a moment.
‘Why did the Curse of the Freezing Heart happen like that?’
A few days before meeting Aisy, I received a detailed examination by Irina about the curse.
The surprising result was that the ‘ice bird’ containing the curse that had entered my body had shattered into pieces.
Irina said that it was a major incident that had never been reported to the magic world.
For some reason, I didn’t feel any pain or cold feeling in my chest. I never thought something like that would have happened.
“Is there any possibility of recurrence?”
“…The only thing that’s certain is that it’s inactive now. Other than that, I’ll have to do some research.”
“Hmm…”
After hearing those words and swallowing for a moment, I quietly took out a letter from my pocket.
– From: Cloud Kingdom
[To Fray Raon Starlight.
I understand you recently made an appointment with Icy. To you, I have something to tell you about Aishi’s recent changes…]
I am reading the letter once again, which I have read several times.
“…I’m already scared of having to go to my sister’s house, but why is he like this all of a sudden?”
He said that as he stepped out of the mansion.
“Well, you can go and check it yourself.”
.
Meanwhile, at that time. Meeting place.
“princess.”
The Cloud Kingdom’s servant began to carefully approach Aisy, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
“…….”
“Master Frey is coming. I heard he just left the mansion…”
“You, come here.”
“yes?”
Aishi gave orders to the attendant in a cold voice.
“Yes, yes…”
The attendant approached her with a slightly frightened expression.
“Ugh!”
Soon, he suddenly stepped on ice on the floor and fell down.
“……”
Aishi was looking down at the attendant.
“…Puhup.”
Soon, he covered his mouth and whispered with a devilish expression.
“You’re such a slob.”
A cold chill began to hover in the room.
