I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills

023. Maria Theresia (2)

It’s a strange thing.

That’s what Maria thought, at a loss for words at Arwen’s miraculous ability, which brought her car out in an instant. I just saw her move in with her movers. How so fast?

But Maria couldn’t drink it even though there was tea in front of her with white steam.

The reason is simple. Looking at the atmosphere now, she wouldn’t be able to lift a car leisurely, no matter how great she was.

There was no problem until she bravely appeared in front of Veris and the others. After that, she just tried to rebuke them for their behavior, but why did she become such a criminal? ….

“I see?”

Maria swallowed her dry saliva at Cecilia’s cold tone like the frostbite of a saint of mercy.

“Yes.”

“Okay. You can’t stop me from coming to thank you for the case.”

Cecilia is rumored to be a good person. She said that it was Maria who was the first to speak to her, but it was not her first time to know that she could speak so well and her cool way of speaking.

What about the elf sitting next to Cecilia who nodded her head?

Doesn’t her appearance fit perfectly with the evaluation that she is good at hiding her feelings, as if she couldn’t see ahead of her?

It was Berrys who saved Mary, who hesitated for nothing, even though she did not commit any crimes.

“Why are you so picky? I just came to say thank you.”

“…… That’s right!”

Maria nodding her head like her frightened rabbit at hearing Berris’ words.

Of course, thanks to her action, the cold eyes poured out again, Maria had her eyes wide open.

She longed for the academy life.

So, as soon as she arrived at her academy, she enjoyed living as her new identity, ‘Marie’, using the appearance-altering magic and perception-damping magic she had been constantly training during her time in the palace…….

Isn’t this feeling like she has become an adulterous woman flirting with her husband?

‘Why should I… ….’

It is true that I was intrigued by a man named Veris.

But she said yes, so she seduced him… If she had at least held her hand, she wouldn’t have felt so wrong with her.

Chrill!

With that thought in mind, when she sneakily turned her eyes to Berris, the sharp eyes flew in without fail.

Of course, Maria couldn’t help but flinch at the sight of those two sad eyes.

“That…… Maybe, you know.”

“Huh?”

“Does Berrys know me?”

As things progressed like this, Maria couldn’t stand it and decided to bring her topic up.

Do you know me, do you know that I am Princess Maria Theresia, the daughter of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the glorious Vera Empire? …… What came out of Maria’s mumbling mouth, which she was about to say, were words in the most shabby tone.

“Of course you don’t know. Aren’t you in the same B class as me?”

“Oh! You remembered me…… That’s right.”

I don’t know why, but it started with a high note, but the cold gaze that flew in without fail made the tone go down at the end.

But, whether or not she knew what Maria was thinking, Veris was nodding her head at her with her natural face.

“Aren’t you traveling with Lady Delia? We exchanged greetings not too long ago, and we moved together during an incident.”

“So, then you know my name too?”

“Isn’t that Marie?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Why did you call me Maria the other day?”

“… ….”

A bold question from Maria. The question left her speechless, and Veris could only stare at her in silence.

‘Did I call you Maria?’

To be honest, unfortunately, Veris doesn’t remember that.

She couldn’t even remember when she had called Maria Maria, since she wasn’t really on good terms with Maria, and she had hardly ever talked to her.

Whether she knew it or not, Maria, her eyes twinkling, was staring at Veris.

“Did I? I remember well…….”

In the end, Veris chose to stick out her flippers.

She didn’t even know why Maria was attending her academy hiding her identity, but she decided that it was necessary to scrape it off.

“This tastes like lying.”

“…… ?”

“…… Just joke.”

Maria, who asked what she was curious about, felt her mouth burn at the sight of her partner, who was more bland than she thought.

If she hadn’t had a problem with her hearing, surely she then heard his voice, which she called ‘Maria’.

But for some reason, Veris is emitting the feeling that she is trying to hide the fact that she knows who she is.

Maria was troubled.

The three people sitting next to her are among the best in the academy. Her words mean that even if she makes a mess right now, she will be the one to lose.

‘Then… ….’

Soon Maria came up with an idea.

I don’t know what kind of coincidence or fate this is, but the mansion Veris moved into is so close that it can be reached in just two or three minutes on foot from Maria’s.

Then, a tactical retreat might be better for now.

It was more likely that a decision would be made in the future, rather than now, at this moment.

* * *

The next day Maria was in a room in her mansion that she owned, looking into her mirror for a long time.

Robbering pink hair and sparkling red eyes are the symbols of the royal family. In addition, her pure white skin had the face of the princess ‘Maria’, not the usual ‘Mari’, which oozes nobility no matter who sees it.

It goes against her theory that she wants to become a ‘princess who hides her power’. However, she was conspiring to test Veris because she couldn’t bear it anymore thanks to her curiosity that came from the depths of her heart to the extent that Maria violated that theory…….

Berris von Wittelsbach.

‘Why am I doing this?’

That man has been really driving her Mary crazy these past few days.

Once the power he possesses, he is a person so powerful that he can easily eat a professor at the academy. Funny enough, that person was only in Class B, so the fact that he might be of a similar class to her for some reason made Maria excited.

“Are you really going to go out that way?”

“Why?”

“How I feel like a girl in love.”

“What, what!”

“Hoho, he is really easy to understand.”

Maria blushed at the voice of Mrs. Hethel, the wizard who served as her secret escort at the academy as well as her magic master.

Love? Romantic relationship? Wow, are you married?

It is Maria who escaped the restraints of her arranged marriage thanks to her father, who was terrified of her daughter. When she came to the academy, she promised that she would live a life of dreaming of adventure.

“It’s not like that.”

Having said that, Maria put on her overcoat and pulled down her hood.

It looks like an ordinary green hooded coat, but in fact it is a ‘magic item’ worth a thousand gold.

It has the power to make the owner’s appearance appear outside the hood, and Maria intended to test Veris using this.

The plan was as follows.

Plan first. First of all, pretending to be a coincidence, she goes to the mansion on the other side of her where Veris has started living and introduces her as ‘Maria’.

Plan second. She meets with Veris to see his intentions. First of all, this robe has a third appearance that is different from the Marie she used to play. As Maria expected, Veris must have the power to see through magic.

Plan number three. It is a sneak peek at what happened during the ‘occupation incident’. What the hell is the number of dealing with that old master and Professor Theon, how do you have such strong power…… Something like that

Of course, the most important thing in this cute plan was nothing but luck.

Maria nodded her head, rummaging through the messy plan in her head.

That’s right, you have to make ends meet anyway. Since she already knows who she is, is there any further pit for her evaluation?

Maria hurriedly began to move. It is now noon, almost lunchtime. It was the perfect time for her to start planning.

But…….

“I don’t buy it.”

Boom!

“…… Eh?”

Maria doubted her eyes and ears.

Befitting a city center, these are mansions in a commercial district without fences or high exterior walls. That’s why I ran to the mansion he moved into, but what is this? The expressionless pretty face of the elf appeared and immediately closed the door.

“Me! I’m not a peddler!”

A weak cry that made me feel sorry now.

But no sound could be heard from the mansion, which was sure to contain more than three people.

“I am a student in class B of the academy! Veris, that…… I came with a message from the dean!”

Eventually, Maria began telling her lies.

Unbelievably, she didn’t know that she would be rejected so easily, so she judged her improvisation in an instant.

Fortunately, does her improvisation work?

Kikik.

Soon the door opened again and a person’s face popped out.

It’s a face she knows well. Apparently, according to the plan, an elf swordsman or a saint should have come out of this door, not Veris…….

“Who? Number of animals?”

But now it didn’t matter if that plan was in vain.

Under the hood, Maria, who was conspiring outrageously, smiled.

* * *

“Really, how can you cheat like this?”

“…… I didn’t do it with bad intentions.”

“Even so. It’s really mean.”

At the conversation between the two, Arwen looked at the intruder with a confused expression.

The face she showed earlier was probably because she used magic. When she took off her hood, a woman with a completely different face jumped out.

It is Arwen’s face that I do not remember. However, she definitely has an unusual appearance, and seems like a woman with a fairly noble status.

However, watching her way of speaking strangely reprimanding Berris, her feeling that her heart felt tight in her own way did not disappear at all.

Veris must have had a creeping corner as expected, but she was calmly accepting her complaints that weren’t hers…….

Arwen or not, Veris had no choice but to click her tongue at this complicated situation.

‘It’s my negligence.’

Look at Arwen, who complains of discomfort with an expressionless face, and Maria, who has a pouty face.

She is actually Veris who has a bad taste in checking the other person’s abilities to the extent of overdoing it.

That’s why she was the one who ran the dean’s errands, so she opened the door to the mansion without any doubt, and then opened the status window for that person.

‘It’s been strange since yesterday.’

The errand was a lie.

It was Maria, not anyone else, who came to Veris.

Besides, no matter how meticulously she moved, she appeared with her true self, not her usual face.

Even she was wearing her hood in that state, so the moment she unknowingly uttered the name ‘Marie’ out of her mouth, Veris had already lost this duel.

It’s bound to be absurd.

No, the fact that she thought that Maria had been found out was a fact she knew because Veris was also aware of her.

But even so, who would have known that the next day she would come to her mansion with her magic items ready.

Well, if you think about it, it wasn’t impossible at all.

Right now, there are only rumors that her princess Maria is on the roster of freshmen this year, and no one has seen her in person, so in a way, this must have happened someday.

“I guess I should formally introduce myself.”

Maria gets up with the horse and takes off her cloak. Then, an antique white dress and all kinds of splendid accessories adorning the dress are revealed.

“My name is Maria Theresia von Binsburg de Vera. Of the empire…….”

Her pink hair swayed.

Then the sweet scent of her perfume flew in, and Maria continued her words, staring at Berris with confident eyes.

“She is the princess.”

Strong Princess Maria.

It was the moment when her true self was revealed for the first time at the academy.
