I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

“…Your shovel has become a bit flashy?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I think the shovel has become more flashy than before.”

What does it mean that there is a large allocated budget?

That means I can play ginpai.

Hitting Ginpai also meant that I could use that money to invest in the future.

Legal Ginpai to save the world.

So I am confident.

“It was polished and polished with expensive oil. That’s all.”

“No, that alone doesn’t make it sparkle like that, does it? No matter how I look at it, it looks like it’s mithril… It’s mithril, right? Right?”

Lennie’s suspicious gaze turned to the shovel on my workbench. The blade of my shovel, which was white, was shining with silver sprinkled with blue light. Even a local mutt could tell that it was not a shovel blade made of ordinary materials.

…Should I at least bury it in soil?

Still, I don’t think I can hide the beautiful figure that makes me excited just by looking at it. I quietly blocked Lennie’s gaze with my distracted body. But that alone isn’t enough to get Lennie’s sharp gaze. I deliberately walked up to Leni and placed my hand on her shoulder.

“…Just a little bit left.”

“What?”

“There is a little bit of mithril left. Didn’t he complain that the sword he was using was of poor quality? “It can be coated with mithril.”

“No, wasn’t this purchased with the budget received for building the passage? That’s embezzlement… “

Lennie’s eyes shook like crazy when he made eye contact with me. It was natural. What swordsman in the world wouldn’t be greedy for a sword made of mithril? If there is a swordsman who can tolerate mithril, it is either an adult or a spoiled b*stard.

So, Lenny would also be interested in mithril.

I attacked that point thoroughly.

“Okay. I took care not to leave any traces. “If it’s just a coating, no one will notice.”

“No, but still…”

“It’s for Karina.”

Lennie’s expression changed violently at my words. I regained my composition quickly, but it was still a green light. Because it was quite effective to bring up Karina to Karinabaragi. I started whispering sweet words to Leni to persuade her.

“Think about it. Our number one goal is to protect Karina. In order to effectively protect Karina, wouldn’t it be necessary to use a high-quality weapon? If her sword breaks in a fight, are you going to fight with your bare fists? Against armed enemies? “Think of the people we faced to get here.”

Lennie’s face hardened at my words her her her her. It meant that what I said worked.

Wyverns, fanatics, various monsters. No matter how high quality a weapon is made of iron, it is ultimately still iron. It is possible to repair or buy a new sword outside of battle, but there is no way that is possible during battle.

But what about a sword coated with mithril? It is common knowledge in this world that even if it is coated with mithril, it boasts a strength that is incomparable to iron. So, wealthy prosecutors were desperate to obtain even a fist-sized amount of mithril.

“Are you planning on discussing honor against an enemy who will use any means necessary?”

At my last words, Leni looked helpless. He also used to be a mercenary, but he’s not a guy who talks about honor like a knight, so persuasion works well.

I’m glad he’s not a stubborn person.

In the end, Leni gave in to my persuasion and asked the last question, shaking his head as if he had no choice.

“…You won’t get caught, right?”

“As long as we don’t confess.”

What kind of person would care about my shovel? It doesn’t matter to Lennie as long as he doesn’t pull his sword out of its scabbard. Unless we made a mistake, this embezzlement would not be discovered. We even took special care to make the emergency passageway quite fancy.

“…Next time you do something like this, please tell me first.”

“Okay.”

There will be a lot to talk about in the future.

“So, what’s going on in the studio?”

“The school closure order was lifted two days ago, right?”

“Ah. Is that so?”

I didn’t even realize that so much time had passed since I was fiddling with Mithril, which was extremely difficult to handle. I was stuck in the studio for four days. I yawned and listened to Lennie.

“Elisa came back from class today and she seemed to be hesitantly looking for you. But you know her his her personality her her her. I’m so scared that I can’t move at all. So I came to tell you in person.”

“You take good care of me.”

“He’s actually my first subordinate.”

“Subordinate…Is it?”

It’s not official yet, but I’m working as an administrative employee, so I guess that’s wrong. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with what Lennie said, so I obediently agreed. I must have done something worthy of Lenny’s subordinate.

“Okay. Unlike you, who are nominally my subordinates, I have no choice but to pay attention to you because I am truly your subordinate. He’s naturally the type that requires a lot of work… But he doesn’t do a bad Thanks to you, work became easier.”

“That’s a good thing.”

If he had fainted from fear like he did when dealing with me, it would have been a nuisance instead of help. I was relieved to hear that they were helping me with my work.

“So you’re saying I should go and ask in person?”

“Uh. I want you to go and talk to me in person. “I don’t think I’ll be able to say anything after suffering like that for a few days.”

“Okay.”

“Then I’m going? It’s just past lunch time, so come up and talk about it around dinner time. When you come up to eat, we will naturally have time to talk. Talk to Karina too. “They’re worried because you don’t come up.”

“Evening…Is it?”

“Are you coming up today?”

It’s a surprise. When did you come? Before I knew it, I looked at Milia, who was standing in front of the door on a kickboard. Milia’s eyes twinkled, her face filled with strange anticipation.

“Are we having dinner together today?”

“Yes.”

“Hehe, we can all get together and eat today!”

Unable to control her joy, Milia rode off on her scooter again. We looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders at Milia’s actions her, appearing and disappearing like the wind.

“You look like you’re tired after riding and playing all day. Are all Dullahans like that?”

“I don’t think so.”

I don’t think there are many Dullahan like beagles.

We looked at each other and laughed.

——————-

“Elisha.”

As soon as dinner was over, I approached Elisa, who glanced at me from time to time. Elisa trembled and cowered as I approached, her her body her her her trembling like a frightened hamster, but I paid her no mind and walked over to her, kneeling down to her her her her eye her level her her her.

“Elisha.”

“Yes, yes?!”

Don’t cause a fight. The employees are looking at me and whispering. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything. I tried to ignore the uncomfortable gaze and opened my mouth again.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

“Uh, uh, uh, uh…Ma, that’s right…”

“Why did you come looking for me? “If it’s difficult to talk about here, you can talk about it somewhere else.”

At my words her her her, Elisa rolled her eyes, looked around her, and nodded her head in response.

“Well, that… Somewhere else…”

“Okay.”

I got up from my seat and wiped my knees. It doesn’t seem like it was dusty because the workers were always cleaning it vigorously, but it was a habit I had developed after rolling around on the dirt for so long.

“Take the lead. “Let’s talk where you’re comfortable.”

“Yes, four…”

I followed the sullen purple head out of the restaurant. The place Elisha headed to was the room she was staying in. The room isn’t that big, but it’s not bad for employee accommodation. Elisha hesitated for a moment, then she asked me in a low voice.

“Ho, do you drink black tea…” “?” ?”

“If you let me ride.”

“Now, just wait a moment…”

Elisa lifted the lid of the teapot on the drawer in the corner of her room, stretched out her hand toward the hole, and cited her incantation.

“…Woah, water.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a sphere of water the size of a baseball appeared right above the mouth of the teapot. This is my first time seeing magic up close like this. I watched Elisa’s magic show with interest.

Elisa placed the magical sphere into her pot, then took out some tea leaves from the drawer and put them into the teapot’s pocket. She then fiddled with a wide plate that appeared to be a magic tool.

Is there an electric range in a place where there is no gas range? I was curious about how it worked, but I had to put it aside for now. I sat quietly on the chair and waited for the tea to boil.

Uncomfortable silence.

The two of us waited blankly for the water in the teapot to run out without any conversation.

Since it was just me and Elisa, who was the ultimate timid person who didn’t say anything, there was no way to break the stuffy atmosphere that made her suffocate. In the end, it wasn’t until we had two cups of tea that we were able to speak again.

“You make tea well.”

“Thank you…”

Smooth communication starts with compliments. I took a sip of fragrant black tea and continued speaking.

“Why did you come looking for me?”

“I…That…”

Elisa’s eyes were focused on the teacup. I leisurely savored the taste of black tea until Elisa, who lowered her head, spoke. It would only take a few minutes, so I didn’t feel the need to hurry.

It was after I had almost emptied the teacup that Elisha’s answer came back.

“Please help me with my, my, my homework!”

“Okay.”

“Yes, yes?”

“It’s not difficult to help with assignments.”

At this point, let’s steadily build up our favorability and accomplish our mission. I’m starting to wonder about the next mission.

“Thank you!”

It’s my first time seeing such a bright expression. I asked the most important question to Elisha, who had a perplexed expression.

“So what is the task? “I can help you only if I tell you the assignment.”

What kind of project is this that you need my help with?

I stared at her with curiosity. Elisa may have felt uncomfortable under my gaze, but she closed her eyes tightly and finally told me the details of her assignment.

“Please go to the dungeon with me!”
