Chapter 147 – Chapter 12 – A Passing Maid
It was decided that the midterm exam would be held on Friday as previously announced.
Rather, the midterm exam, which was said to be easier than sparring, was literally.
I will give you an unlimited amount of time, so use Klaus’ own magic by perfectly casting it.
This became the only passing task of this midterm exam.
The cadets who are already astute here are given unlimited time.
And it seemed that he had roughly noticed that it was the magic Klaus was asking for.
As Klaus said, midterm exams don’t require as much as in Dalian.
It means that you have to draw out very difficult magic in the midst of obvious obstacles and checks.
– No matter how unpleasant they are, you have to let them get something. Conscientiously. –
Combat magic eventually aims to widen the gap with magic in a situation where you throw yourself into a fight with the enemy.
Among them, the most basic thing is to maintain concentration in the face of any disturbance to draw out mana and manifest magic.
If the magic is cancelled, it is not the end of simply creating a hole in the workshop.
The actions taken by accelerating the mana in the body at most would shock the body in reverse.
So, even in the moment of a bloody attack that seems like it would kill you if you hit it right away, as well as a minor interruption, you must concentrate your mind and know how to finally manifest the magic.
Klaus wanted to emphasize that part, at least to the cadets who took my lectures.
I went somewhere and listened to Klaus’s lecture, but I couldn’t even use combat magic properly and died.
After Klaus’s lecture, with the pointy ears unique to fairies showing through his hair.
Natasha was moving her steps somewhere along the way, with her blonde hair gently flowing behind her.
On her lips was a soft yet pretty smile.
And with something in her arms, she took a very refreshing and light step.
‘Whoops. How lucky you are to find such a precious coffee. I feel pretty good today.’
Klaus is taking care of things to make himself the true owner of Belarus.
Natasha thought about what she could do for him.
But she couldn’t do anything particularly great for him in the current situation.
Right now, there is a demon king next to him and a loyal lieutenant, so there will be no shortage of people.
If she had been a person who was greedy for wealth, she would not have even talked about Eun-gwang to herself.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t know if the Eunkwang side is really going to follow Klaus-sama’s words.’
She secretly sent her a letter asking her to invest all of her assets in the development of the silver mine.
Then, is it not putting too much money into land that has not yet been properly discovered?
A warning flew in that she could lose a lot of money if the silver mine didn’t come out.
If she loses all of her assets by any chance, even if she doesn’t, Natasha, who is circling the outside of Belarus, will be completely disconnected from her life.
However, she believed Klaus’ words and went ahead with her investment.
It’s a bit of a bad idea, but if the silver mine investment really fails.
Natasha herself intended to use that as an excuse to cling to Klaus, telling her to take responsibility for herself.
If asked to choose between Belarus and Klaus, she would choose the latter without regret.
Anyway, Klaus is making an effort, but he is all he can do.
The good thing was that he liked coffee not just as a preference, but as an obsession.
Quality tea leaves or coffee berries come mainly from the lands of fairies or beastmen, but as a member of Belarus, he was able to obtain them relatively easily.
The coffee fruit that came this time was the same.
The fragrance and taste are so strong that those who know it say it is the devil’s temptation.
The name sounds pretty creepy, but in reality it isn’t.
Because it gave a very rich taste and aroma, people in the know were only looking for the devil’s temptation.
‘I’m sure Klaus will like it, right?’
While Natasha thought so, she arrived in front of Klaus’s office.
Yulia, the strongest rival, must be taking another lecture now.
Instructor Kayla is currently very busy teaching the cadets who are still lacking in Klaus’s orders.
And even though Cecily wasn’t lacking at all, she must have been rolling with great momentum as she deliberately listened to Caela’s lecture (?).
‘There are no competitors. To be able to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee with Klaus-sama!’
Natasha arrives in front of the professor’s office with a happy smile.
She takes a light deep breath and cautiously she knocks on the door.
Chubby!-
“… Professor Klaus? This is Natasha Belarus. May I come in?”
I already confirmed that Klaus was going back to the professor’s office.
Could it be that she came here without checking that the room was empty?
So Natasha eagerly waited for Klaus’s answer from beyond her door.
But after a while, something completely unexpected for Natasha happened.
Instead of Klaus’s voice asking her to come in, she suddenly clicked, and her door opened, and the woman she had never seen before greeted her.
“…”
The first thing that caught my eye was her silver hair, which seemed to sparkle with the reflection of the moonlight.
In addition, the light purple eyes that give off a very dreamy atmosphere.
For some reason, it was an appearance that gave the feeling of being sucked inside just by looking at it.
She is decidedly even her great beauty as a woman who is comparable to herself.
“Who, who are you?”
Natasha asked the question, stuttering to the end involuntarily.
If Yulia or other women had come out, she wouldn’t have been so surprised.
You must have come before me because you missed the lecture or for some other reason.
She couldn’t help but be embarrassed as she was standing right in front of a woman she had never seen before.
“…”
However, the other person kept her mouth shut and only looked at Natasha with strange eyes.
Natasha, who couldn’t hide her embarrassment at the appearance of a completely unexpected woman, eventually crumpled her face and looked at the woman in front of her once more.
First of all, the outfit the silver-haired woman is wearing is a maid outfit.
The fact that she wasn’t wearing a cadet uniform made sure Natasha didn’t have to scream who you were.
If the opponent had been one of the academy cadets, he might have grabbed him right away.
Julia is the woman who captured Klaus’s heart before she did herself, Kaela is a loyal lieutenant who has followed Klaus since the Continental War, and Cecily… Um, I don’t know.
Anyway, I absolutely wanted to refuse other women besides them clinging to Klaus.
I want to monopolize him, rather than such feelings, I want him to know the subject and cling to it.
Well, this kind of heart could be said to be much bigger.
‘That’s strange. I haven’t heard that Klaus-sama hired a maid.’
I tilted my head for a moment, but it wasn’t like I didn’t understand at all.
I can’t imagine a picture of Klaus washing and putting on clothes himself, cleaning, and doing miscellaneous things.
There were even people who brought in an exclusive maid or attendant from the beginning, so there was nothing impossible or impossible with Klaus.
“… There.”
Only then did the silver-haired maid speak.
His face was still expressionless, and it was clear that he had no emotion at all.
In a pretty polite gesture, she leans over and points inside her.
“Come in.”
“To?”
“Guest, aren’t you?”
“For now, it is, but you…”
“Come in.”
She definitely looks like a polite maid, but she is also a woman with a strangely powerful appearance.
Seeing her not coming inside and asking what she was doing, Natasha let out a sigh and went inside, forgetting even her usual self-respecting self.
“Professor Klaus?”
“Welcome, Cadet Natasha.”
And she was able to meet Klaus, who was sitting in front of her and was looking at something.
Originally, we were supposed to meet at the lecture today, but due to a sudden business trip, we couldn’t see each other.
Other than that, I hadn’t seen her at all over the weekend, so Natasha felt very welcome.
So I’m about to get closer to Klaus, but suddenly a person sneaks in between them.
What is this again, I looked in front of her, and as expected, a silver-haired maid was standing in front of her.
“There it is.”
“Yeah?”
“The place where the customer sits is over there.”
Natasha, who blinked her eyes, looked where Planche was pointing.
A sofa far away from the chair in front of the desk where Klaus is sitting.
Originally, sitting there is the right thing to do as a guest.
But could Natasha come here as a guest, to sit there?
Come and bring a gift like this.
“Flanche.”
Klaus slightly restrains him, and only then does the silver-haired maid bow her head and step back.
Natasha is staring at Planche with a puzzled look.
At a glance, why are there all these maids? What is he?! The feeling was intense.
“What is the bottle in your hand, Cadet Natasha?”
Natasha subtly changes the subject to turn her attention back to herself.
Then she said, the fairy who had a pretty sharp face ah! She does and she smiles and says what is this? She does and she playfully asks questions.
Klaus sighs and I don’t know, but it’s like a gift, right? Natasha is the correct answer! She exclaimed and set the bottle in her hand down right in front of her desk.
Looking at the bottle, Klaus looks at it as if asking what it is.
Then Natasha smiled again and opened her mouth as she fidgeted with her bottle.
“It’s the devil’s temptation.”
“It’s the devil’s temptation.”
It sounds like a name you’ve heard a lot somewhere, but your naming sense is really good.
Klaus put on a puzzled expression while internally cursing a certain creator.
The coffee Natasha had brought was quite expensive, and since she was not in a position to enjoy it herself, of course she had to go without knowing.
“It’s the first thing I’ve heard of. It’s the devil’s temptation, is it dangerous?”
“Please. Would you give Professor Klaus something like that because I’m crazy?!”
Natasha raises her voice with a hint of disappointment.
Then, Klaus was just about to say that it was a joke, with an embarrassing smile on his face.
“Hmmmm.”
Planche suddenly clears his throat, then comes to the side without a word and grabs a bottle.
Then, before Natasha could stop her by asking what she was doing, she brought it right in front of Klaus and placed it in front of him.
“It is rude to raise your voice. Customer.”
“What, what?”
“It is rude.”
He still maintains his soft voice, but also has a strangely strict atmosphere.
Natasha was staring at her, “What the hell is this maid?” While Klaus was distracted trying to hold back a laugh.
After all, if she is not the best maid in the world, she is too confident.
“What the hell are you…”
In the end, Natasha is about to spit out her words, “Who are you?”
Suddenly, a knock was heard from beyond the door.
Then, Planche immediately turned around, headed to the door in an instant and pulled the door.
“Professor, let’s go in…”
Kayla, who was just saying hello, freezes on the spot.
She didn’t smell and I couldn’t feel her presence, but she was a woman who suddenly appeared in front of me.
Naturally, as a prisoner and as Klaus’s lieutenant, she couldn’t help but be very embarrassed.
“What are you?”
Kayla growled, even showing her fangs.
In response, Planche briefly saw the prisoner woman baring her teeth in front of her.
And then I looked at the fairy, who gave me a wary look as if my words were those words.
“… A passing maid.”
