Chapter 87 – Episode 86. It’s a Problem Because You Got Caught (2)
Astrid, who now occupied this body, did not like the current situation at all.
As there was a different reason for coming to Ashley, it was a little difficult to ask Ashley why, when Violet was standing around like this.
“Why don’t you go back soon?”
“Oh my, until earlier, they even used honorifics, but now they’re talking nonsense again.”
‘I was talking to him in a mean way, right?’
【Ahh… It was.]
Astrid only looked at his Violet again after double-checking on the fake Astrid. Violet was casually tilting her teacup, and Ashley, who was sitting between the two women, seemed deliberately uneasy.
“What are you so afraid of?”
“Shit, I’m scared. I can’t do that, sister.”
“I’m scared just looking at it.”
Astrid giggled and looked at Violet again with his snort. Astrid didn’t like Violet, who had been sitting like this for a while. That’s why being together during the day, that’s nice. It could be. But isn’t it rather late now?
If you stay together like this until that time, if there are rumors, you are the one who suffers the loss. And because of that rumor…
【That’s it.】
‘I guess that’s it, right?’
Are you looking for rumors?
They did not go through confirmation procedures to see if Violet’s scheming was really like that. In Astrid’s head, that thought was already turning into conviction.
“Ashley, what time is the meeting with Mr. Baizik tomorrow?”
“Oh, it’s morning.”
“Okay?”
With Violet here, the words do not advance. Astrid decided that it would be better to go with Ashley when she visits Baizik tomorrow.
And anyway, since Bai Zeke must have more extensive knowledge than Astrid, he thought that if he listened to the conversation between Bai Zeke and Ashley on the spot, he would be able to learn more details.
But tomorrow I have a class in the morning. There are classes not only in the morning, but also from morning to afternoon.
【Did you know there are classes tomorrow too?】
‘Of course I know. But tomorrow is Friday. It was the fault of the school that had classes on Fridays.’
【What nonsense… 】
Fake Astrid was taken aback by Astrid’s words, but didn’t ask any further questions. Anyway, no matter what anyone says, Astrid isn’t the one to listen to.
【Really, I came to the academy for no reason.】
‘So I wasn’t going to come, but someone ruined everything.’
Who would have predicted that something like this would happen? No one expected
‘I never know, the academy might explode.’
【I wonder if that’s possible… 】
But for Astrid, I wondered if that would be better. At least if I can go back to the North with peace of mind, I’d rather the academy explode. And that might be the way to quickly marry Leopold and go back quickly.
Quick marriage, quick information gathering, quick return…
Return, return, return…
If you think about it, that’s what I was trying to go back to in the first place.
The biggest reason was that I just wanted to go back to the familiar world, but now it’s a familiar world.
Is there a reason for that?
Is there any reason to go back? ?
Having thought that far, the fake Astrid was startled.
She was so terribly frightened at the thought of her own self that there was no reason to go back, albeit momentarily.
【That’s right! Classes are not important!]
‘It’s not like you, making a fuss. Anyway, fine.’
“Okay. Violet, let’s go.”
After revealing his intention to accompany Ashley, there was only one thing left. All I had to do was drag the brown girl from Autria out of her sister’s room.
“Well, okay. Time is also time, so it would be better to go back at this point.”
Surprisingly, Violet stood up as well. The tea had already been finished, and perhaps even if Astrid hadn’t come, she was going to return here, but Violet was her sister, and the restless Astrid was cute inside.
“Come on, Astrid. You said let’s go first, what are you hesitating about?”
“… Okay, let’s go back.”
Since I asked to go back, I doubt that again. But there was no need to express it, so Astrid quietly opened the door to Ashley’s dorm.
“See you tomorrow, Ash.”
“Go in, sister.”
“See you again tomorrow~”
Violet turned around with a strange voice, but Ashley couldn’t bear to answer. In fact, Ashley was still quite burdened with her violet.

“You must keep your promise, Astrid.”
As soon as she left the guest house, Violet slightly frowned.
“Finally revealing your true nature.”
“Nature. You promised in the first place, right? To help each other.”
That’s not what I promised, he almost replied, but Astrid stopped talking. She didn’t object to the promise, but it wasn’t easy for her to say that it was an eye-catcher or something when another woman was seducing her sister right in front of her eyes.
“You, you have to help me first!”
[Where is that compulsion!?]
It is so far-fetched that it frightens even the fake Astrid, who has been listening silently.
“You don’t have to show that much sincerity to seduce my brother.”
“What?”
Even Violet opened her eyes wide, as if asking what she was talking about.
“No, who should help first? Besides, Leopold isn’t even here right now, so how can I help him?”
Violet’s words were the right theory. It’s not like Leopold is here, and even if he wants to help, he hasn’t decided what or how to help or the order in which he helps in the first place.
“Anyway, to seduce a person from the Mitterien family, that level of sincerity is enough!”
“… It’s rude, it’s really rude.”
Violet opened his eyes wide for a moment and looked at Astrid, then narrowed them again and glared at Astrid.
This, from Violet’s point of view, looked like a kid looking for an excuse because she didn’t want to give her toys to anyone. He’s doing this because he doesn’t want to hand over Ashley.
“Anyway, okay. I will definitely try to help you wherever the opportunity comes. I just interrupted at the end today, but it’s okay because I didn’t lose anything.”
Violet shook his hand and walked ahead.
“… Do you feel like you’ve seen something?”
【I can’t say no… 】
It was Astrid, who couldn’t shake off the unpleasant feeling.

Leopold wrote down his current situation step by step on a piece of paper on the desk.
The strange things happening in the academy were gradually increasing in scale, and it seemed that rumors were spreading secretly even among the students.
It wasn’t something that seemed dangerous or a sign of something. It was a small thing, but when those things come together, the scale starts to grow.
If you don’t know how to get your clothes wet in a small rain, but when the rain starts to get bigger, then it’s too late to find a place to shelter from the rain.
And under the series of circumstances, Astrid’s name was written in large letters.
Just writing down her name reminds me of that face. A face like a pure white statue comes to mind. As soon as I remembered that face, Leopold stroked my neck.
The feeling of that hot lump of flesh licking the nape of my neck was vividly revived. Leopold wrote the word great magic equipment next to Astrid’s name.
He knew that Astrid had no resistance to magic. However, the war had already ended, and now that there were no forces to oppose Einhafen, such flaws were not particularly problematic.
However, these abnormal signs that are happening little by little, and the caster of estrus magic toward Astrid and herself. There was no guarantee that the two were unrelated.
By any chance, if Leopold himself wasn’t there, that cunning person would cast estrus magic on Astrid again.
Leopold’s fingers trembled slightly. Then, with a click, the pen he was holding broke and the ink inside leaked out, staining his palm.
Not even recognizing that fact, Leopold looked down at the paper that was beginning to be covered in black ink.
Can not be done.
There should never be.
It is impossible.
He had to settle with Bai Zeke as soon as possible.
– It’s a great magic device, you know. There is not
– However, if I were to give it away, wouldn’t I have to pay for it as well?
It was the correct answer to ask Baijik, the sorcerer of magic.
It’s not something I didn’t think would cost me anything.
It wouldn’t be a financial reward, I expected that much.
– Have a good time with my daughter, Emily.
– Of course, I am not saying to make a body with scars.
-However, if that child had entered the race to become the Crown Princess, he would have had that purpose.
– Give him a chance to have a fair competition.
– In other words, it is a story that asks you to actively participate. In case you didn’t know
– If you do, you might find out that Emily is a better woman than Astrid.
Bizik was laughing.
Leopold crumpled the black ink-covered paper into a mess and dumped it into his trash can.
“… Just kidding, really.”
