117.Office Workers Do Not Have Summer Vacation (1)
“Huh, they took the contract by force… They did something dangerous.”
“I couldn’t leave it like that.”
“Good job. If someone who couldn’t resist had made the contract, a catastrophe would have occurred.”
I don’t know if that worthless guy has the power to do that. Right now, I’m trying to hit Merlin’s hand away with my tentacle, but my strength his is so weak that I can only shake it slightly.
[If it weren’t for a contractor with only a small amount of magic power, I could have easily defeated something like this! Profit!]
They started talking again.
This is the problem. It’s unnecessarily noisy. I want to finish the test quickly and go back and read this noisy guy, but I wonder how much time it takes. Still, should we be glad that Principal Merlin is ignoring all resistance and conducting an investigation?
As I was waiting for the test results with useless thoughts, Principal Merlin took his hand off the book and spoke to me with a subtle expression.
“I don’t know. What is in this grimoire is unknown knowledge. The magic pattern is something I’ve never seen before. It’s different from other grimoires… The only thing that’s certain is that it contains magic that has a negative effect on the mind.”
Are you talking about the hypnotic beams emitted from this guy’s eyes?
“This kind of grimoire can lead to a catastrophe, so be careful when handling it. Well, if it were you, I would still be at ease… But since your magic power is low, it would be difficult to use it properly.”
“Is that so?”
“I’m not insulting you. It means that you are lucky that such a dangerous item belongs to you, so don’t take it to heart. I’m confident that I’ve read a lot of grimoires, but this is my first time seeing something like this… “There is nothing more fearful than the unknown, right?”
Is this because it’s my first time seeing this type? Well, it was my first time reading a grimoire, even though I’ve seen the ending several times through the wizard tree, so it’s only natural that people here don’t know either. If possible, I wanted to obtain a grimoire that had clear synergy with my skills.
The grimoire I wanted to use was something that would take at least another year to obtain, so I thought it would be better to consider it lucky that I got the grimoire at this point. To buy one grimoire, you would have had to prepare an amount equivalent to one loaf of mithril.
“I will keep that in mind.”
“If anything unusual happens, come find me.”
[Ugh, I don’t want to go…]
What should you do if you don’t want to go?
“Then let’s go.”
“Good luck.”
Hold the doorknob and turn it. A brown hallway appeared with the sound of old hinges turning. There is little pretense of popularity.
Since the first semester is over and summer vacation has begun, it is only natural.
[When I go home, that redhead will treat me like a dog again!]
The time had come for those who were going back to their hometowns to go back and for those who would stay behind to prepare for the next semester, so it was time for me to become even busier.
Even in games, the summer vacation period was a time for overdue side quests and hard work to improve specs.
If possible, I planned to find a way to resolve the curse embedded in Karina’s body her. The general trend itself seems to be flowing similarly, so whether or not Karina’s body is healthy will have a lot to do with future events.
It is said that the recovery magic that can make even a person on the verge of death healthy is quite large.
[Contractor! You don’t want to leave it to her again, do you?]
“Give up. Even if I don’t take you, you will find it on your own.”
[Nooooo!]
Wow, it’s my head. I slapped the book with my palm to tell it to be quiet.
“Be quite. Because my head is pounding. If you keep doing that, I might accidentally lose you.”
[What?]
“If I accidentally lose you, Milia, who has been following me around, will pick you up. “I plan to pretend not to notice for 24 hours.”
[…
“Behave well. Did you understand?”
[…Yes.]
Of course, being quiet doesn’t mean Millia won’t take him.
I swallowed my words and headed to Yeomyeonggwan.
————-
As I was reading Lue in a dark study with a single candle lit, I heard a husky voice along with a whisper. A familiar voice. I turned my head and looked up at the owner of the voice.
“What are you doing when you’re still not sleeping?”
“I was reading a book.”
“Really?”
The brown skin visible through the clothes caught the soft light of the candle and scattered light fascinatingly. Lenny, who was wearing only a light shirt because she was uncomfortable, came over with her brisk steps and sat down on the chair next to me.
I took my eyes off her and shifted my gaze to her rue her her.
“Why are you reading so hard?”
“It’s a magic book.”
“Ah, that grimoire that Millia tied up and took me for a walk… That’s okay, right?”
“It didn’t seem like there was any problem.”
“I’m glad. No, should I say congratulations? “It’s really difficult to make a contract with a grimoire.”
“Because my magic power is low, I can only use simple magic.”
“But where is it? Magic power increases a little as you use it. “It’s better than nothing.”
With that said, Lennie fell down on her table. Her tired movements her highlight her sensuality her her her. Before I knew it, I had taken my eyes off her book and was looking down at her.
“Wow, I’m tired…”
Although she claims that she is not attractive as a woman, she is a woman that no man can easily take his eyes off of. The reason people avoid her is not because she is unattractive, but because they are afraid of her.
Lenny the mad dog.
Someone said, The saint’s loyal dog.
A knight who is infinitely gentle to the saint, and infinitely merciless to the saint’s enemies.
She never dreamed that she would become a companion with such a knight.
In the game, the boss who cursed me with all sorts of insults and was my companion from the beginning. If this were a game, I would have been happy that I could eat every episode. Even if you make an extreme entertainment build, you will still be able to see the ending.
…Even now, it is no different from a semi-forced entertainment show.
“What about Karina?”
“It’s the same as usual. Wake up, take a walk, study, eat, study, wash, sleep… “
It is an extremely simple cycle. Of course, the patient’s life cycle cannot be complicated.
“I’m glad that my physical condition doesn’t seem to be getting worse.”
“Because Elisha checks for curses once a day. It’s not as good as Professor Lennon, but it’s pretty good. “I mean work and prosecutors.”
Leni, who was sitting across from me, raised her upper body and stretched. Her heavy breasts stood out above her lightly worn shirt. It has a slender feel overall, but if you look at it this way, it has a body that is protruding where it comes out and sinking in where it should go, just like a game character.
“Ah…It’s hard.”
“It’s a lot of hardship.”
“If you know you’re having a hard time, tell me to work harder.” Haam…”
“I’m sorry. “I’ll protect the dawn, so can you get some shuteye?”
“No. “You said you were going to do something tomorrow.”
“I am used to staying up all night.”
In the early days of living on an uninhabited island, I worked in relatively cool evenings and nights rather than in the hot sun during the day. A big reason was that I couldn’t sleep during the years of living alone on a deserted island…
“No. Please wait and do it in the morning. But it got better because I had more time to sleep during the day. Ugh, I need to quickly find someone to escort me…”
If the strongest knight protects Karina falls, the wild cats will cling to her. They will interfere with everything under the pretext of increasing the number of guards. Even though Karina was a saint, she did not have omnipotent power. There was also a possibility that she could reach out to the imperial family or the leadership of the Kalon Church.
The continent is still in disarray and no one is reaching out… But it would be better to remain on guard.
Kalonism, anyway, the imperial family… Those troller b*stards can’t be trusted. How can we trust these guys who always grab our ankles no matter which route we take? The reward itself is salty, so it’s good to use it occasionally.
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“It is my mission to protect Karina. “It’s something she has to do as best as she can.”
Lennie’s voice her she was quite serious. It’s natural. She was betrayed, and Karina in her younger days saved her from her death. That’s why, no matter what happens, Lenny doesn’t betray Karina.
That was the source of my bold actions.
As long as there is a final bastion, I will be able to endure even if I overdo it a bit.
“What’s the use of it all if you fall? “If you fall, there is no protection.”
“You are there.”
“You are the shield, and I am the sword. No matter how hard you try to block it, you can’t block it better than a shield.”
“…Aren’t you giving it too much air? “At best, he’s just an escort knight.”
Lennie’s cheeks reflected a reddish glow in the moonlight. Did I say something too embarrassing?
“Well.”
“You often say strange things. “Stop flirting with women.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Wow, you have no self-awareness. Actually, if I had been conscious, women wouldn’t have been so attached to me. And then you might really get hooked?”
“…I guess I should wear armor from now on.”
Leni giggled at my words and got up from her seat. It seemed like she was slowly going back.
I quietly covered Lue. You can read the rest tomorrow.
This tentacled book was quiet, perhaps because it had been tormented by Milia before she was coming to the study. I’m glad it didn’t interfere with my reading of the grimoire, but… I can’t tell even if I look at it. I can roughly remember how to write it, but it feels a bit vague.
I don’t know if it’s because my magic power is low or because we’re not compatible.
“Uh, I guess I’ll have to go soon. There’s a lot of work to do, and these guys are annoying me… No. You too, read and sleep in moderation.”
“Go in.”
As I watched Leni leave her study, I placed Lue on her side.
As Leni said, there was work to do tomorrow, so it was time to get some sleep.
[How many women do you live with?]
I ignored Lue’s grumbling voice and headed to her room.
