Chapter 23 – 23. Unawareness
When I returned to the room, I was lying on the bed in a daze.
The sky color changing from ultramarine blue to blue colored the bedsheets.
“Let’s say you go to a bar in the evening. What should I do until then? …”
I muttered softly and tried to organize my jumbled brain.
There were many places I wanted to go, such as restaurants, cafés, and libraries.
However, I had no idea what to do with the sudden free time.
If it were a normal time, it would be time to sit in the chapel and be manipulated by the goddess and be shamed.
When I was making a fuss in my inner world, believers would look behind me and exclaim with faith.
For me, who became a great saint, those things took for granted.
But for this hour today, there was silence except for the sound of my breathing.
Isn’t the silence that comes at the most turbulent time something so unfamiliar?
It was like the first spring day right after graduating from college.
The compulsion to do something and the sense of freedom from not having to do anything.
The two conflicting things combined gave me anxiety.
“Okay.”
I moaned quietly.
Let’s stay like this until nap comes.
With that in mind, I closed my eyes.
Growling.
“… “I’m hungry.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t eat breakfast today either.
Is it because skipping meals has become a habit? I didn’t even realize it was an empty stomach until now.
On the outside, she put on a lot of words, such as saying that she should pray with a tidy body and saying that she was sorry to the other nuns.
In reality, I just skipped breakfast because I wanted to sleep a little more.
Anyone who has lived in a fiercely competitive society will sympathize.
There are often times when I want to sleep more and not even have time to eat breakfast.
I was the type of person who got used to it as a habit.
Moreover, for me, who passed out after watching the fountain show every day, breakfast was like a luxury.
“Tskcha.”
I lifted the back of my head off the bed and headed straight for the door.
After roughly adjusting her veil and nun’s clothes, she poured magical energy into the doorknob.
Let’s think positively.
Haven’t you been desperately hoping for something like this for a while?
First, let’s start with a light breakfast.
It won’t be too late to think about what you want to do next.
It’s finally time to cross off the bucket list you’ve been waiting for.
As she thought that, her heart, which had been at a loss, began to lift little by little.
There is a lot of time.
Things I wanted to do, places I wanted to go.
Let’s enjoy it all.
“Hmph.”
I smiled without realizing it.
I stepped down the stairs with light steps.
Before I knew it, the morning sunlight had fully risen, and I felt warm.
***
I headed to downtown Luz with light steps.
I felt full of energy from the sight of people walking around the streets busily in the morning.
It was a time when I was looking for a leisurely breakfast.
“Huh, Tesia?”
“Yes?”
When I turned my head, an unknown girl was standing there looking at me with curiosity.
Short sky blue hair and clear green eyes.
She was a girl who gave a refreshing impression as soon as I saw her.
The girl is wearing a neat school uniform.
It was a sophisticated design combining black and blue on a white background.
Are you a student at the academy?
I glanced up and down at the unknown girl.
Then, a huge lizard stepped in front of the girl with heavy steps.
“Shh, hiss.”
It seemed like he was saying hello as he blinked and looked at me.
When I gently waved my hand, the lizard stuck out its tongue.
The girl wasn’t scared at all by the sight of the lizard snorting at her.
It seemed like it was the girl’s familiar.
What did they call that thing? Was it a Salamander?
I know it’s a pretty powerful high-ranking summon.
That probably means that this girl has strong qualities.
“Oh my god, are you really Tessia?”
The girl who saw my face shouted excitedly.
“Yes, that’s right. “Do you know me?”
“Sure! Even at the academy, Tessia is the idol of all the female students!”
Oh, that’s kind of satisfying.
It means that there are teenage girl fans that I don’t even know about.
The corners of my mouth twitched at the very good news.
“Hehe, thank you. “May I ask your name?”
When I asked politely, the female student answered in a loud voice as if she was excited.
“Eh, it’s Elena Schubert!”
“Schubert?”
Schubert, Schubert.
I’ve heard this a lot somewhere.
I tilted my head and looked back on my memories.
Then the girl shyly twisted her light blue hair with her fingers and said,
“Uh, of the Kingdom of Rainheart…”
“Aha. “You are the son of Duke Schubert.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Oh my god.
The girl I met by chance this morning was the daughter of a duke from a neighboring country.
This was a clear sign that something good was about to happen.
Elena spoke with a stiff, at-attention posture that was uncharacteristic of a noble.
“I have always respected the Great Saint! Well, if you don’t mind… “Can you shake my hand!?”
“Of course, Miss Elena.”
There was too much force.
I couldn’t help but smile at the freshness of the girl who had her shoulders as if they were stones.
Approached the girl extending her hand.
I gently covered Elena’s hands, which were full of cold sweat, with both of her hands.
“Huh!?”
Elena was startled, and her shoulders trembled.
I greeted the girl with the public smile I always had.
For some reason, the girl’s eyes were looking at her chest instead of my eyes.
Am I so nervous that I can’t even make eye contact?
It must be that way, seeing as both cheeks are red.
“Ah, uh, uh! Her hands were sweaty! Sorry if you are offended!”
“It’s okay. “It’s not unpleasant at all.”
I feel this stickiness every night.
As the word suggests, the problem is that the sticky and salty taste reaches your tongue.
“Goddess Isis, the creator god, has blessed us with everything. There is no reason to find it unpleasant.”
He spoke to Elena as if preaching her gospel.
Maybe he was touched by my benevolent appearance.
Elena was still staring at my face, her face blushing.
“I hope Goddess Isis’s protection will be with you.”
“Yes hehe…”
Elena answered with her twisted tongue.
For some reason, the crazy bitches I saw when they were fucking me seemed similar to each other.
Still, it was a very cute reaction for a pretty girl to blush at me.
She smiled happily and took her hand away from Elena.
“I hope we can meet again if we get the chance.”
“Yes hehe! Boo, please, definitely!”
“Hehe.”
He turned his back on the girl with a light smile.
“Study hard.”
With a final goodbye, I continued my way.
A sniffing sound could be heard from behind.
It was a very strange sound.
They say that salamanders have good noses, so that’s probably what they mean.
Yes, it definitely will.
I imagined Elena becoming a capable wizard in the future.
For example, yes.
Just like Ariel.
“… No, that’s not it.”
I immediately muttered to myself and denied it.
A wise man who rubs his pussy with his travel companion every night.
This is a human image that cannot be used as a role model.
Grow into a great wizard, but please don’t become that crazy bitch.
After saying a light prayer in my mind, I continued to walk.
I entered the street where a fragrant smell slowly rose.
I quickly searched for a store to soothe my incessant belly button.
Elena had already disappeared from sight.
