Murmur, murmur!
“What…? Is this also part of acting?”
“It can’t be. Someone must have been playing a prank on her.”
“Magic? Then can’t she just undo it? I heard Lady Kapento is ranked second among her peers.”
“I know, right? Why is she acting like that?”
The audience, who were frozen at first without knowing what was going on, began to murmur loudly.
Libby looked at Cecilia and the audience in bewilderment and found Theresa sitting in the front seat. She was giggling with a grumpy face. Could it be older sister who did it?
“Quack! Quack! Quack!” Cecilia was confused and quacked.
Watching this, Duke Kapento was very angry at the untimely humiliation and ran out with his face turning red. Now, laughter broke out here and there.
Cecilia gave the audience death glares and ran off the stage with tears streaming down her face. In an instant, the main character disappeared.
Is the play going to end like this? I don’t think Lady Cecilia will be back for the next play. Libby felt sorry for Cecilia, but deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
It was then.
“Uh?”
Suddenly, billions of tiny lights began to appear around and enveloped Libby’s body. People noticed Libby playing a tree role they didn’t even know existed and focused their attention. Then, they let out an exclamation.
“Oh my gosh.”
This was because Libby’s attire, which was covered in pitifully insincere tree clothes, changed into a beautiful dress, revealing her hidden appearance.
Libby realized that her clothes were almost identical to Cecilia’s dress. Older sister? Just in case, she glanced at the audience and saw Theresa smiling meaningfully and nodding at her.
Libby burst into laughter. Of all the magic she had ever seen in her life, this was the most wonderful magic. It gave her courage.
“…This forest is so dark and scary. I need a friend.”
When Libby started singing in a beautiful voice, the audience watched the play with quite focused eyes, unlike before. Sadly, however, Theresa fell asleep just as Libby began her dazzling debut.

[Quest: Punish Cecilia.]
▸Reward: Obtain 3,000,000 coins; increase in Euges’s likeability
“Hehehe~ School violence perpetrators go to hell~” I headed to the student council room, humming happily.
The quest was completed safely, Libby regained her spirit, and the Valhalla arcade was bursting with people, so I couldn’t be happier.
Creek. The student council room was quiet. It felt very empty because I couldn’t see Clyde, who normally would be grumpy, and started a fight as soon as I opened the door. That made me scratch my cheek for no reason.
“…Not today either.”
[The Constellations that support the ‘Clyde’ route are very disappointed.]
He should at least take a break during the festival. The chairman was too much.
“Where should I check who I’m going to go with today?”
I checked the ticket on the student council room bulletin board. During the festival, the role of the student council was to go around the social club where the event was taking place to make sure there were no problems. In short, it’s patrol.
Creek. When I checked the ticket, the door opened, and someone came in. It was Damian.
I finally checked my patrol partner’s name. It was me and Damian. The two of us were on a patrol team.
“Hi, Theresa.”
Damian pointed out the door to me with his usual kind, cheerful smile. “Shall we go out now? Because I have to change my shift.”
“Ah, yes, okay.”
We walked around the crowded garden without conversation.
“…”
“…”
There was a heavy silence between us as if all the noise around us seemed to bounce off.
Maybe it was just my feeling. Is it because I got caught yesterday or not? I can’t tell.
However, I couldn’t check his likeability, and just by judging Damian’s behavior, it seemed like he hated me, so I felt anxious and nervous.
Unlike me, Damian was cheerfully greeting friends he passed by as if nothing had happened yesterday. Every time that happened, I just stood there a little embarrassed and looked at Damian smiling brightly.
“Come on, let’s go!”
“Please move away! You’ll get hurt!”
At that time, I suddenly heard a rumble behind my back. I tried to turn my head curiously, but Damian suddenly pulled me. He warned his juniors, who were moving their luggage, with a smile but an eerie look on their face.
“You need to check if there’s a person in front of you.”
“Uuh… I apologize.” The juniors hurried past with a look of despair.
Damian let go of my waist as they passed us. I thanked him in a dazed manner.
“Thank you.”
“It wasn’t a big deal.” Damian turned over and moved on.
I thought that would slightly lighten the mood, but I was wrong. Again, he gave off an air that made it difficult to say a word.
Ha. I’m tired of just looking around. I wasn’t the type to delicately and sensitively perceive other people’s feelings. So, if he was dissatisfied with me, I wanted him to tell me directly.
I couldn’t stand the frustration and opened my mouth. “Did I make a mistake?”
Damian answered with a confused expression. “Hmm? No. Why are you thinking like that?”
“Because you keep avoiding me.”
At my confident tone, Damian didn’t immediately deny my words. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly lifted his smiling mask.
“That’s—”
Crackle! Damian’s words were muffled by a noise that sounded like something was twisting and breaking. When I turned my head towards the sound, I saw green vines growing randomly.
“Uaargh! The magic plants are running wild!”
“Avoid it!”
Damian and I rushed to where the accident occurred. The vines wrapped around Mimosa, who was performing outdoors and lifted her into the air.
“Kyaa! Please save meeeee!”
“Mimosa!”
She was in the outdoor venue adorned with magical plants, playing music when suddenly chaos erupted for no apparent reason. This wasn’t a natural occurrence.
It’s the work of stigmata. If this vine absorbs more than a certain amount of mana, it evolves into a man-eating plant.
The bud that had just risen opened its mouth wide. I reached Mimosa in a hurry.
“Come here!”
Then, the vine changed course and moved toward me. Damian immediately cut down the vine and rescued Mimosa.
“I-I didn’t do this…” Mimosa said hastily, shaking and looking utterly frightened.
“I know. There’s no way you did that. Just step back. We have to save other people too.”
Upon hearing me, Mimosa nodded her head with a visibly relieved expression, then retreated to the back and began rescuing other students dragged by the vines.
“Burn up and disappear!”
I saved the students with magic, but there was a problem.
“Why are there so many?”
No matter how much I cut or burned the vines, they continued to grow endlessly, so I was helpless. Even more during the festival, the ratio of non-wizard was overwhelmingly high. The students who came to their senses and joined us to save people weren’t enough to turn the tide.
If Ilya had been nearby, it would have been resolved quickly!
At that time, Damian pulled me towards him. “Come here, Theresa. It’s dangerous.”
“What are you talking about? We must save the people.”
Damien crumpled his brow at my words. “The professors will take care of that soon, so you just…!”
At that time, a loud screaming sound was heard nearby.
“I-I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!” A male student was being dragged away by a man-eating plant.
I opened my eyes wide. He’s a demon contractor! It’s a big deal. Demon contractors create dungeons when their lives are threatened!
“Stop!”
However, the male student’s scream came before my magic.
“Demon! Listen to my wish!”
Ding!
[A demon dungeon is created.]
Kugugugung! The pitch-black dungeon door rose tall, splitting the man-eating plant in half. The door opened wide like an animal opened its mouth.
“Damn it.” Damian cursed softly, set up a barrier around me, then ran to the dungeon door holding me.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Youth Is Now’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Look at his fighting spirit.]
“Huh?! Hey, what are you doing!”
“Because it would be difficult if unnecessary things were included as well.”
It was an attitude that annoyed if any unnecessary people were dragged into this.
…But, why are you taking me too!
Grumble—! Again, the demon’s realm enveloped me, along with an unpleasant sensation.
“Gasp…!”
And that’s where I lost my consciousness.
“Master.”
It was a soft voice.
“Wake up, Master. Today is the day you go to the orphanage to choose a student to sponsor.”
“Umm.”
I was buried under a soft blanket when I got up. Then, the servant proactively helped me to sit against the bed.
It was a very luxurious room where I opened my eyes. Antique furniture, carpets, fancy ornaments, oil paintings that fill walls, and well-dressed servants. It was a perfect upper-class room. And I became the owner of this room.
Ding!
[Dungeon Quest: Damian Training Simulation.]

Damian is currently a 10-year-old child with his memories sealed and probably living in an orphanage.
