Chapter 256

TL: Zimmings

Hearing that Johann was in Isaac’s room, I rushed over.

Thud!

When I kicked the door and went inside, the three brothers who were talking looked at me.

“What’s that on your hand?”

Isaac looked at me who entered with a lot of snacks in my hands and asked,

“Sister. no, the stwudent gave it to me. Mowe than that… (Sister, no, the student gave it to me. More than that…)

“You shouldn’t eat what others gave you!” What if it was a poison?

Isaac tried to steal my snacks. But me being a child, always lost my reasons in front of the snack, so I quickly hid my snacks behind my back.

“Ah, no. The sisters said, ‘Oh my, so cute!’ to me.”

“Whewe is Count Dubbwede?”

“[If it’s Count Dubblede, I heard he’s at Isaac’s room.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh my, so cute! Do you like candy or chocolate?”

“… I like it.”

She was a very kind sister. Henry laughed as I stepped back.

“Alright. Leblaine, will you brush your teeth after eating?”

“Yes!”

Then Henry peeled off the candy wrapper, and Isaac glared at Henry.

“What did you hear about her?”

“There are rumors floating around that she’s my illegitimate child.”

‘H-how did Henry know that?’

When I contemplated, Henry touched my forehead and said softly.

“Did you trust Jin? He’s more sneaky than a fox.”

“… Sowwy.”

“So? What did you have to say that you came in such a hurry?”

“That’s wight!”

I looked at Johann urgently.

“Mina had swomething on her hand. It’s a jewel.”

“… Is it a passage?”

“Lwet’s go and check then.”

Henry and Isaac looked at me.

“Isn’t it better for us to do that? Even though our eldest brother graduated from Odis, he is now an outsider. Elysiano Class is free to go everywhere except for the faculty area. Above all, Honghae and Juliet are also in and out of Mina’s room to check Mina’s condition because they are in charge of students.”

“It’s a girl’s room. It’s weird when bwothers come in and out.”

“That’s true but…”

“Bwecause it’s weird, more rumours will fly. You cwouldn’t come in and out without the public’s attention. Meanwhile, bwother Johann, the representative of Dubblede, can pwessure the pwincipal more than the current student, Henwy and Isyak.”

“Yes.”

Johann immediately contacted the principal. When he expressed his desire to look after the second child of fate, the principal was surprised, but failed to reject it.

In the last battle against Kuhelm, they were indebted to Dubblede, and above all, he was afraid of the Johann’s prestige, Dubblede’s successor.

In the end, the principal granted permission under the condition of meeting only for about five minutes to avoid the eyes of others and a person from the faculty accompanying them.

Johann and I immediately headed to Mina’s room. When we’re near the building, a person from the academy was waiting for us.

“That kid…”

“She is a quarter werebeast. This child could see what was wrong with hee.”

“Why did Dubblede suddenly care about Mina?”

“It doesn’t matter to us that the second child collapsed. However, it’s a matter that involves Leblaine.”

Johann gave me an appropriate excuse to accompany Mina, and the person was convinced.

“Follow me.”

The place where the person took us was a statue of an angel.

“This…”

When I blinked, the person replied, “It’s a secret passage.”

When he pressed a certain part of the statue, the statue turned around and a small underground passage was revealed.

We headed to Mina’s room through it.

Mina was still unconscious. Johann approached Mina and looked at her hands.

‘There’s no jewel? Did someone take the passage before we came?’

Me and Johann quickly looked at each other.

‘Someone took it. Is it the temple?’

It was already expected that the temple had a spy in Odis, but I did not know who it was.

‘If the passage that Mina had in her hands was my amethyst… I’m in trouble.’

It was a passage with a different force than other passages. I have to figure out where it went somehow.

***

Me and Johann returned to the dormitory, as Henry and Isaac investigated those who entered Mina’s room.

“There are quite a few people who came to Mina’s room. Janitor, staff, Sandra, Honghae and Juliet.”

“What about Sandra?”

“She brought her notes that summarized the contents of the class. Also make sure Mina is okay on behalf of the freshmen.”

“What about Honghae and Juliet?”

“Honghae is in charge of female students, so she must have gone to check Mina’s condition, and Juliet is helping Mina recover.”

The janitor and staff are the most suspicious. I witnessed the dormitory head informing the temple of Mina’s condition, and the cleaner is suitable as a spy in the academy.

“It’s not the janitor.”

At Henry’s words, I opened my eyes wide.

“Why?”

“They’re my spy.”

When he smiled wickedly, Isaac nodded, “Oh.”

“As expected of my brother. You’re the fastest at sneaky things… Argh!

Henry, who kicked Isaac’s calf, said.

“They say she didn’t hold it when the janitor went there.”

“I’ll fwind out later. I’ll go to Juwiet’s waboratory today.”

Today, I’m on duty to clean Juliet’s room.

After greeting my brothers, I immediately left the room.

Before going to Juliet’s laboratory, I asked the students for Sandra’s location and visited her. Sandra was sitting on the bench.

“Hewwo!”

When I greeted her, Sandra stared at me.

“You…….”

“I work hewe.”

“I heard about you. Nice to meet you.”

Sandra smiled and patted my head.

“It’s dinnew. Have you eaten?”

When I sat next to her and asked, Sandra said,

“I don’t have any appetite. Did you eat yet?”

“I’m gwoing to eat later.”

“You have to eat well. Children need to eat well to grow taller.”

“How dwo you know? Dwo you have sibwing?”

I knew that Sandra had a little brother she cared for, but I asked her innocently. She smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I know because I have a younger brother too. He’s very small because he can’t eat well.”

“Why?”

“Because he’s weak.”

Sandra’s expression darkened.

‘His body is weak? I’ve never heard of that.’

I skillfully hid my thoughts and asked.

“My knees huwt too. Is youw bwother hurt here too?”

“More. It hurts more.”

“Then stop by when you go to the twemple! I heawd that they’ll get better if they go to the temple!”

“I’m already getting help from the priest. They always try hard. ……I should get going. It was nice to meet you.”

Sandra quickly got up. She waved at me and left, I glanced at her back.

‘If she’s getting help from the temple, it’ll be hard to reject their orders. As expected, is it Sandra?’

Just then,

“Child!”

A Honghae’s lively voice was heard. She approached from afar, waving to me with Juliet next to her.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to the labowatoru.”

“I see~! We were going to go to the laboratory, too. Let’s go together!”

Honghae smiled brightly and lifted me up with one arm. She lifted me into the air so I was incredibly surprised. Juliet sighed as she saw me being surprised.

“I told you not to show off your strength anywhere. She’s surprised.”

“Is that so? Sorry, sorry.”

“Why are you in a very good mood today? It bothers me.”

“I’m always in a good mood. Because I’m always lucky! Let’s go, child. There’s also Jin in the laboratory. He came back from the battle today.”

I was in Honghae’s arms and headed to the laboratory. Jin was really there and he waved at me.

“It’s so nice to see you again. Did you have fun playing with Adrian?

“… Liaw (… Liar.)”

“Me?”

“You say you’ll kweep the secwet.”

“Ah, so it’s about that. I’m sorry.”

Then, he picked up the biscuit with a face that was not sorry at all. I glared at him.

“Why? You don’t want to eat biscuits because you’re sulking?”

“…….”

“The biscuits made by Juliet’s fans are famous for their good taste, are you sure you won’t eat them?”

“…… I’ll eat.”

Those biscuits are innocent.

When I grabbed the biscuit, Jin laughed. Honghae giggled and pinched my cheeks.

“You’re so cute.”

“What, why is Honghae so lively today?”

Juliet shrugged as she wore her lab coat.

“Apparently, I’m lucky today.”

“What?”

Honghae put me on my lap and answered.

“What I was worried about was solved.”

“Honghae, did you have any concerns?”

Honghae answered Jin’s question.

“It’s been a long time since it rained in my country.”

“A great famine?”

“Yes, many people die everyday, even the royal family is short of food.”

“Did it rain?”

“There’s no news of the rain yet, but I’m done worrying about food shortages for the time being. East and West decided to help me.”

“What are you going to give them instead?”

“I decided to stop their expulsion. So, when the meetings about East and West are held, please vote against it.”

Honghae hugged me as I struggled.

“I shwould clean!”

“Really? Then I’ll help you. So, tell your father and uncle to vote against East and West expulsion, okay?
