Chapter 73: Snow Ball (6)
While flailing her arms and legs and trying to escape, I grabbed Faye’s ankle, lifting her upside down.
She was wearing white.
“Let... let go! Put me down...!”
“I can’t do that just yet. I need to see where you spent all my money and if it was really on something so valuable that you’d need to ponder how to make cheap black bread taste better.”
“If you’re going to say that, at least look at my face! You’ve been staring at my panties the whole time!”
“Your face is obscured by your chest. And this... it’s instinct...uh...”
My eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
At that, Faye, who had been yelping loudly, asked with an anxious tone,
“What? What’s the matter? Why are you making such a serious face looking at my panties...?!”
“Senior, did you... wash those panties properly before wearing them?”
“.......”
“They look a bit... grimy.”
They were not discolored or anything, just somewhat grimy.
As she turned her head away, Faye’s face turned so red it seemed it might burst, and she began to tremble.
“Oh...”
“Oh?”
“I changed them today! Want to check by smelling them?!”
“If I must.”
As I pretended to lean in, Faye started to panic, thrashing like a freshly caught fish.
“You’re insane! Why are you really trying to smell them?”
“You said I should.”
“It just said it ‘cause I was shocked! And how long are you going to look at them? I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything I bought! Just let me go!”
“Alright, then.”
Though I had acted in a fit of irritation, when I thought about it calmly, the situation was quite risky.
Slowly releasing her, Faye scurried on her hands and knees, rushing to a corner.
Perhaps because she was held upside down, her disheveled hair and disarrayed school uniform seemed a bit pitiful.
Now adjusting her skirt, Faye glared at me and snapped.
“You, Junior, are a pervert! The kind of pervert who’d get arrested if reported!”
Now, hearing such words from her in this state... how should I respond?
It was getting amusing.
“Hehe...”
Overwhelmed by my rising, playful spirit, I smirked.
“If you report me, what will happen to your research, Senior?”
“Huh...?”
“Sure, I firmly believe you’ll succeed... but will others do so too?”
With the most devious expression and tone I could muster, I stepped towards Faye.
“Eek! You are showing your true colors! I knew it ever since you played like a puppy in front of the workshop! My body was your objective all along, wasn’t it?!”
“Maybe. Or maybe not.”
Step. Step.
With each step drawing closer, anxiety began to fill Faye’s eyes.
“Listen... Junior? This is a joke, right? Please tell me it’s a joke... I’ve never had friends, so I’m weak against such pranks or jokes...”
“Ha! Appealing to my sympathy now won’t help. Let me clearly tell you what I expect from you, Senior.”
Placing my hand on Faye’s unkempt hair.
“Whimper...! I-I trusted... I trusted you...”
Before I could utter another word, Faye, presuming betrayal, whispered back.
“What I expect from you, Senior, is the Philosopher’s Stone, which you’ll create one day.”
Faye shrank back. Seeing her like this, I sighed deeply for what felt like the umpteenth time today.
“Sigh... Well, I can see you didn’t waste anything. I’ll give you some extra living expenses this time.”
“Really?! Thank goodness... At this rate, I might’ve had to eat at a restaurant...”
“...”
Wait? Didn’t the academy provide basic meals for free?
And I heard that the quality of those meals was quite high.
The issue was that Faye tended to avoid crowded places, probably because she had been ostracized for so long.
I should take her to the academy’s dining hall someday. After a few visits, she might get used to it.
If that didn’t work, well... I could always give her extra money.
Thinking like this made it seem like I was fully supporting Faye.
I reached into my inventory and handed Faye 20 gold coins.
This should be more than enough for her to get by until the next sponsorship payment.
And seeing the gleaming gold, Faye’s eyes lit up. So I warned her in a stern tone,
“Just to make it clear, this is for your living expenses. You should spend it on decent food and perhaps change your clothes once in a while.”
“I changed my clothes, you know! ...But okay, I got it. I’ll only spend this on myself.”
She nodded, clutching the gold close to her.
At that moment, I remembered another favor I had for Faye.
“Oh, by the way, Senior. As a sponsor, I have a request for you.”
“Hm? Just like before, do you want me to make that potion?”
“In addition to that, I’d like to ask you for this.”
I took out the white herb, the hidden piece from the practice dungeon, and Iona’s pure blood from my inventory.
“...”
Faye’s eyes widened at the sight of the glowing white herb and the deep red blood bead.
“Can you please make an elixir with these?”
“Where did you get these? I mean, the white herb is a mid-tier spirit herb, so it’s obtainable, but this... isn’t this the pure blood of a vampire? And it seems of high quality at that...”
“It’s from Professor Iona, so of course.”
“...Gulp!“
Faye looked at me with a gaze that seemed to ask what insane thing I had done now.
“It’s not what you think! It was given as a sort of reward for the recent event. It’d be beneficial to consume it as is, but it’d be better if turned into an elixir, so I brought it to you.”
“Eep! Anyway, you said an elixir? I’ve got the new equipment now, so I should be able to make it.”
“How long will it take?”
“Um... about a week? The herb is raw, but the blood has been refined, so it should be easier to process.”
“Alright, I’ll come back next weekend.”
“Okay! Just leave it to me!”
Faye seemed excited, probably due to the rare ingredients.
The next weekend was the last day of vacation, so the timing was perfect.
After a bit more chit-chat, I parted ways with Faye as lunchtime was ending.
She still had her next class.
After meeting everyone, from Iona to Helena and Faye, I returned to the dorm.
Tomorrow, I would start learning magic from Carla again.
There were several points of regret that I felt during my fight with Edmerek.
And after some days of training and spending nights chatting with Carla, the weekend I had promised Faye came.
Out of the blue, the academy was abuzz with news that the Sylvan Magic Tower had been caught attempting to summon a spirit.
To be precise, the news was that Elisha, who happened to be in the Sylvan Magic Tower, had also been arrested.
“This is crazy.”
How did this happen?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
