Chapter 84 – Medicine to Forget Embarrassment
There were so many people at the Academy right before the festival started.
Originally, only academy students or officials were not allowed to enter the academy.
Except festivals, even outsiders could come and go as they pleased.
As someone who doesn’t like crowds of people, and to be precise, I have paranoia that people will look at me and make fun of me, thinking I’m such an ugly person,
Of course, I couldn’t help but not like the festival that much.
That’s why I was stuck at home last year.
But this year, I had no choice but to show up because I had a promise with senior Dern, that is, I had to work as an employee at a maid café.
“Hey, look at him…”
“It’s cute.”
“Pretty…”
“Isn’t the school student outfit too lewd?”
“It’s a festival, so what? That’s about it.”
“It’s not enough to just say ‘that’s it’ but…”
I was obsessed with the illusion that people were watching me, so I kept my head down and headed towards my destination.
But I don’t know why I hear this rumbling noise around me.
From what I heard, someone is very pretty.
As someone who is fascinated by pretty and beautiful things, I wanted to find that person right away and take a look…
It was impossible in a situation like this where the ground was collapsing, and I was looking down.
“It’s a shame…”
If only I had the courage to raise my head a little, I would have been able to see the face of such a pretty person.
Anyway, I continued walking to my destination.
Fortunately, the pension department building where Senior Dern would be located was not that far away, and I was able to meet her senior shortly.
“I’m here.”
“Oh, Eve, you’re here…”
“… ?”
Senior Dern took one look at me, and she froze like a statue on the spot.
“You, you, you, you, you, you…” …”
“Why, why… ?”
I suddenly became a little anxious about her senior’s reaction.
She once said that she and I thought that the standards for a maid were the same,
I think it may not have been true.
In fact, since Senior Dern is a maid-principalist, she was cowering at the thought that she might look at these clothes that I sewed as I wanted and yell at her, asking what on earth I was doing,
Senior Dern has done something I could never have imagined.
“Huh.”
“Eh?”
That’s something I really don’t understand, but
The senior suddenly shed a tear and pretended to cry.
After that, he looked at me thoroughly from head to toe, and immediately showed a strange reaction.
“Oh, oh oh oh oh…”
“…”
“Art, it’s art…”
“Well, what is it…” .”
“Your body! “No clothes!”
“It’s sexual harassment… ?”
Senior, were you always like this? .
I was a little unfamiliar with the behavior of Senior Dern, who had shaggy hair, a dark complexion, and a sickly look that immediately came to mind when thinking of an alchemist.
I was a little dizzy to see the true character of one of my few acquaintances at the academy, who had excellent alchemy skills and had no particular prejudices, so he occasionally talked to even a gloomy kid like me.
Or maybe, after working as a student under Professor Carmen for a few months, I finally went crazy.
I sighed and said I was glad it didn’t end up like that.
“Well, don’t look at me like that…”
It’s not like I’m licking my eyes with sexual desire,
It was true that the way Dern looked at me was very burdensome in a different sense.
In the end, he even came to whet his appetite, saying that the thing he was shy about was excellent.
I think I was properly caught by a pervert named Jeon Sunbae.
I knew something was wrong, so I pulled down my short skirt as much as possible, hiding my thighs, and stepped back with a hesitant gesture.
“Well, I want to go home. “I’m going.”
“Ten points… Ten points…”
“Yes?”
“Even being embarrassed like that is an art.”
“What are you saying?”
I think my thoughts were short.
When I thought about it again, serving people like this and acting cute as a maid by calling the guests “Master, master,” No matter how much I was paid, it was something I, a shy person, couldn’t do.
It’s not that Senior Dern’s behavior is unpleasant, it’s just physiologically unreasonable.
“Eve. “She knew it would happen and had something prepared.”
He spoke calmly as if he had seen through my thoughts and handed me something.
It was medicine.
It’s a finely packed white pill.
As I was looking at it, Senior Dern smiled sinisterly.
I know it’s rude to say this, but
Still, I couldn’t help but ask.
“… “It’s not dangerous, right?”
“Something dangerous?”
“Why, you know. “These are shady things that people like us often make.”
“No way. That can’t be possible. “It’s just a medicine that makes you forget about embarrassment.”
“Make me forget my embarrassment?”
“Huh. I made this in advance in case it would be helpful. “It will be useful because it is effective immediately and has a long-lasting effect.”
There was not a single lie on Senior Derne’s face when he said that.
Well, why would I risk my life and do bad things just because I’m so pretty?
The senior Dern I have watched so far was not that kind of person.
In the end, I swallowed the medicine given to me with water without any hesitation.
“… ?”
Oh, by the way,
This drug is better than I thought.
No matter how immediate it is, I didn’t know it would have such an effect as soon as I took it.
There really wasn’t a single bit of exaggeration when it came to forgetting embarrassment.
I straightened my back and head, which had been hunched all the way to school, and made eye contact with Senior Derne.
I look forward to something, and when I compliment her on how great her skills are, she gives me a meaningful smile.
“Oh, right. Eve.”
“Yes?”
“Café… I managed to find a place and set it up. The interior is also finished…”
“So?”
“Hmm. “There is something I wasn’t prepared for.”
“What is it?”
“Chef.”
“Chef?”
What would a maid café do without a chef?
And that starts today.
I thought he was a meticulous person, but surprisingly, he had a clumsy temperament.
“Well, I tried looking for it here and there. “Everyone said they didn’t know what the store was doing and didn’t want to do it.”
“So?”
“Hmm. I want you to do it. Well, I’m not asking for great cooking skills, but omelet rice would be fine.”
“… “I can’t cook.”
I was an expert at turning ingredients into charcoal.
However, Senior Dern said it indifferently, as if he was not good at cooking.
“It’s okay if you can’t do it. Because what matters is that you made it.”
“Well, I really can’t do it.”
“No way. Are you okay? “Everyone will like it even if I bring it burnt.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it will take some effort on your part.”
Is that so?
I have small ears, so when Senior Dern spoke with such confidence, I thought it might be something like that.
“What… If you say that much. I will do it.”
“Good.”
“But what about other people?”
I was referring to other academy students in the Department of Alchemy.
“Ah. I missed out a lot on making fireworks and arranging them all over the academy… Some are outside handing out flyers for the maid café.”
“Are we having fireworks too?”
“Huh. At night. We received a lot of support from the academy, so it will be quite large.”
“Wow.”
“I will let you off work by then, so if there is anyone you want to see with me, call me here.”
Someone I want to see together.
… There was, there was.
“…”
“Ah. Sorry. I should have told you in advance, but I couldn’t because I haven’t been able to see you lately. “I’ll give you some time right now. Would you like to come?”
“Oh, no. That’s it.”
Since we’re so great, let’s go see the fireworks together.
“Okay? Well, that’s it. Ah. The café is over there, so let’s go together.”
“Yes.”
The place we arrived at was,
It had exactly the same shape as the one I had glimpsed in my past life, which I can’t even remember anymore.
Why are there so many heart-shaped furniture and balloons on the tablecloth with lots of frills here and there?
I was greeted by an interior so gorgeous and so cute that I couldn’t even think of coming in.
As I was looking inside for a moment, Senior Dern spoke as if he remembered something he had forgotten.
“Ah. Come to think of it, I have one more person to work with.”
“More than just me?”
“It’s a famous store, but I thought it wouldn’t be enough to have just you as a maid, so I tried to get as many as I could. “It was best to just save one more person.”
“Who are you?”
“She is the daughter of the Rosevelt family. What was its name… Anyway, I brought him here by threatening or coaxing him.”
I think I just said it was a threat.
“I know you’re reluctant to meet people for the first time, like me… Don’t worry so much. “He’s a good kid.”
“Yes…”
“Ah. There’s still some time left until the start. “I’ll tell you how to work.”
Senior Dern,
He stood in front of me and told me to look carefully and follow him.
“First, remember the magic spell.”
“You’re an alchemist?”
“… “You don’t mean that, right?”
“Yes.”
“Greatness. Anyway, follow along. Moe kyung.”
“… Yes?”
“Ah. Eve. You don’t know any shame now. “Did you forget?”
Oh, that’s right.
I had taken medicine to make me forget about embarrassment.
So, really, even though I was told that I should learn things like moe kyun, oishi kunare, how to put ketchup on omelet rice in a heart shape, and how to say zoeni and then use it to customers,
I really, really wasn’t embarrassed at all.
Yeah, it’s just work.
It’s not that I’m embarrassed, but I’m a little reluctant, but it’s not something I can’t bear considering it’s the price I get for money and facilities.
“…”
But why does my face keep getting so hot?
Spring Academy, where the festival begins,
It was a little hotter than last year.
