Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

42 – A Little Strange Saint (1)

Amelia knocked on the door of the president’s office with an unusual face.

“I will go in.”

I almost pushed through the door. The chancellor looked at Amelia with a face that looked ten years older.

“The second child of the Windsor family.”

“I heard that you made excessive demands on my brother.”

Amelia, who came after hearing the full story of the incident from Hercy, was furious.

She stood squarely in front of the president and put down the papers with a bang.

“You have done this well.”

The contents of the document were the oaths between Louis and Clifford.

These were clearly unreasonable actions. She unilaterally put Louis at a disadvantage.

“Even the Orb of Lark left room for it to be returned. Can you still call yourself the President of the Academy?”

“… Values are different according to each individual situation. It was of equal value. Isn’t money meaningless to the Windsor family?”

“Windsor’s 1 gold and Commoner’s 1 gold, both are the same 1 gold. It doesn’t change that he made an oath that was nothing short of fraudulent.”

Clifford squeezed his tired eyes.

“Guy, how is that the same? A commoner’s 1 gold is a matter of life and death. And isn’t that the reason why that bastard left the academy?”

“You know that.”

Amelia clenched her fists.

“Don’t you think I made too many demands on my little brother who was sleeping peacefully by the lake?”

“It is a matter of efficiency. That bastard will easily find out the truth about black magic.”

He let out a weary breath and looked up at Amelia.

“And that, you bastard. As the president, what’s wrong with asking students to form an investigation team? The academy had already given the bastard a lot of convenience. By violating the will of His Majesty the First Emperor, a value that was absolutely followed. Like this… It was a reasonable request.”

Amelia’s eyes went cold.

“You are a person without an answer.”

“… Is there anything I can’t say to the president?”

“She didn’t deserve to be in that position because she thought of Louis the same as all the other students.”

I’ll take care of all the conveniences, so it was the academy that told me to just come.

However, Clifford went against what he had said at the beginning and not only made excessive demands on Ruid, but also made several unfavorable deals with Ruid.

Amelia could not forgive.

“Windsor will never forget this.”

Amelia glared at Clifford with her calm eyes.

The appearance of the system was, to say the least, impressive and lively.

There is a saying that to see the standard of living in a country, look at the people’s expressions. People usually had bright faces.

It was the first time Ruid came here. This is because she was always in and out of her own mansion, located in her exclusive neighborhood.

Ruid stood blankly in the square for a while.

“I should have gone out sooner.”

With that thought in mind, she moved on. When I think about where I am going, I get a little excited.

Ruid’s ears were stimulated by the conversations of merchants and the cries of people filling the streets.

What stood out in particular were the people ringing the bell. Seeing that they were wearing holy clothes, they seemed to be church people.

That’s right, I thought and looked away. It was the tavern that stole Ruid’s attention. A pub serving meals.

-Wow, it doesn’t taste good. Do nobles always eat only this kind of food?

I remembered what commoners often said. Unlike aristocrats who grind from detoxification magic, commoners enjoy the taste of food as it is.

I wanted to try it before. I tried to go to Kim, who also beat the academy. Among them, Louis went to a restaurant in a secluded corner.

After all, if you want to eat alone, a restaurant with a calm atmosphere is good.

{ Inn where the wind stays }

‘It’s a common name.’

It’s a very common name, probably 50,000 in the empire, but I liked its commonplace. Louis opened the door and entered.

“Meals are 5 pesos and lodging is 25 pesos. If you think it’s expensive, quit.”

A very large black man said in a deep voice that it was scary to enter. It was a gigantic size that made one wonder if it would be a bit unreasonable. He was bald, but he was about to reach the ceiling.

Ruid placed a small hand on the counter high on his chin.

“I want to eat.”

“Huh? Little guest… This is it.”

He looked at Louis, looked a little surprised, then returned to her sullen face.

“Five pesos.”

Ruid rummaged through her pockets. Secretly, she connected the space and pulled out a gold coin. I know pesos are small, but all I have is gold coins.

“… Hey.”

“Yes?”

Ruid opened his eyes and looked up at the man.

He sighed and waved his hand. And he lowered his voice.

“The unit is too big. Can’t go back.”

“I gave it to you a month in advance.”

Louise replied as if she had expected it.

“What? What if it doesn’t taste good?”

“Then you’re missing out on an expensive guest.”

The man laughed. The large tattoos on his face wriggled.

“I don’t want to miss such a customer, so I must work hard to make it.”

“Good.”

“Go and wait, expensive guest. I will give you a hard time.”

He took the gold coin from Louise’s hand and disappeared through her back door.

Ruid swept over the seat to take her seat. A total of four monotonous tables. Two guests were sitting.

One was in the corner, wearing a robe similar to his own, and the other had been watching this place for a while.

She was a woman with a toned-looking body. Bandages on her legs and arms, leather armor covering only the bare minimum. She thought she might be a mercenary, judging by the fact that she had a sword hanging from her waist.

Ruid sat next to her. She was by the window. Although she was more like a hole than a window.

She grinned as Louis sat down.

“Sir, what do you know? Ralph’s food is the best.”

It seems that the man’s name was Ralph. He thought it was a fitting name.

“My name is Judith. He’s a third-class mercenary who makes a living every day. Can I combine it? I was bored after eating alone.”

Judith, who said that, had already taken her seat.

I couldn’t resist her cool smile, but I couldn’t spit her smile on her face.

“Yes.”

“What is your name?”

“Louid. But it’s not better.”

“Louid. That sounds like a noble name.”

“Is it visible?”

“Tina. That’s great too.”

Judith smiled. Louis looked at her own attire.

‘Perfect.’

This shabby robe is a hunting robe.

It was really a robe worn by commoners in the North.

“You look curious about why you were caught? Shall I tell you? Why are you sure that I am a nobleman?”

“Tell me.”

“First of all, the tone. No commoner has such an elegant tone. You don’t even use honorifics in your first meeting.”

Ruid flinched.

I didn’t think of the tone at all.

Yudis crossed her legs and Betsy laughed.

“The clothes too. It’s shabby, but if you have a little bit of an eye, you’ll recognize everything. That’s a very expensive fabric. I know because I tried to buy something similar because it was so cold.”

“… This?”

Unexpectedly, Ruid inspected his thick robe.

From noble mtl dot com

“Above all, a jewel-like interior that shines even in the dark. No commoner has eyes like that. Above all, it’s too white. If you’re going to pretend to be a commoner, you’d better burn some skin.”

“… ….”

Ruid took off her robe in disappointment.

I realized that everything was pointless. Seeing Ruid’s face, Judith was quite surprised.

“I will cancel what I just said. No matter how much you burn your skin, it won’t do you any good if you have that shiny blonde hair. Give up.”

Ruid said dissatisfiedly.

“Still, you treat me quite casually.”

“Yes, of course. If you have to hide your identity, you mean you want to be quiet, right? You want to be treated like this. Same goes for Ralph, so I didn’t say much.”

Ralph, who just brought the stew, said with a glance at Judith.

“What are you doing to my guest? A year without money.”

“hehehe, sorry sorry.”

“All right. It’s good for me when I’m friendly with customers. Instead, don’t interrupt.”

Ralph set the meat stew down in front of Ruid and headed back to his seat.

Ruid brought a steaming stew.

He took a wooden spoon and stirred it. It smells very delicious.

‘But what is this?’

Judith must have read that question, and answered brightly.

“A stew made with oak meat. Flavor is an art.”

“… Orc meat?”

It felt like my appetite was dropping.

‘They really eat monsters.’

Compared to livestock such as pigs and cows, monster meat is easier to obtain. So I heard that commoners usually eat it, but it was a bit like that because it was right in front of their eyes.

“Eat it. Maybe you’ll be surprised?”

But at Judith’s confident words, Ruid scooped out a piece of meat with a spoon.

I ate with my eyes closed.

Judith stared at Louis with a pleased expression on his chin.

Ruid’s eyes widened.

“This is… “

“Isn’t it delicious? Be better It’s probably the first time you try such food. Aren’t all nobles eating only tasteless food?”

Ruid took another spoonful without a word.

“… !”

Then he started to eat the stew without hesitation.

It was so delicious that it couldn’t even be compared to mushrooms…… !

Louise moved her steps in her satisfied mood.

She must have had a full stomach, so she decided to find a suitable place to sleep.

‘From now on, I’ll have to eat at a commoner’s restaurant.’

I thought it was just plain food in this world. If I had known it would be this delicious, I would have found it a long time ago.

The food I ate at the ‘Inn Where the Wind Stays’ was very stimulating.

The properly salted meat was salty enough to be stimulating, and the stew had a deep flavor, and the more you ate it, the more addictive it was.

‘I have to go again later.’

Thinking so, Ruid looked around.

It was at the back of the cathedral, but geographically, I felt like I would definitely get a good night’s sleep if I slept here.

It’s sunny, and it’s not noisy because it’s near the cathedral. The target was the roof of the cathedral.

Ruid used invisible magic and floated his body.

I landed lightly on the roof.

However, there was a guest who had come beforehand.

‘I’ve seen it somewhere.’

Feeling that way, the girl was curled up and sleeping soundly.

Ruid didn’t think she was weird. Originally, there were many people in the famous hall. I had to endure this.

After taking out her pillow, she settled down a good distance from the girl.

I really like the warm sunlight. If there was anything that bothered her, it was that she was not very far from the girl, but she couldn’t help it.

‘This must be a two-person seat.’

The rest of the seats were too shady.

I turned over on her side and closed her eyes.

She was about to give herself over to a sleep that was gradually coming to her while listening to the soft chirping of the sparrows.

With a soft feeling pressing down on her body, Louis opened her eyes.

The girl she saw earlier was riding on top of herself.

Maybe it was originally like that, or maybe it was the sunlight, the softly shining silver hair gave a very mysterious impression.

The girl tilted her head with her round eyes, then spoke up.

“Do you want to kiss me?”
