Hey, Ms. Yenika (1)
It was a time when the election campaign for the student body president was wrapping up, and the new cabinet of Tanya Rosteiler was also drawing some outlines. To put it in terms of time, it was about 10 days after the end of the election.
“Are you dating Ed?”
Melina, a senior professor of animism, was a bad figure no matter who saw it.
His plain black long hair was neatly combed down, but his exhausted eyes and pouting mouth seemed full of displeasure. Even the way he is dressed, which clearly reveals the curves of his body, looks more like the owner of an inn than a professor.
He is smoking a pipe and then exhaling smoke. It was a really burdensome impression to get close to.
“…yes…?”
“Are you dating Ed?”
I was about to call Jenika to get help with the review of the animology assignment for the 1st and 2nd year students.
So, Yenika came to the private laboratory in the faculty building, but that was the first thing she said.
Due to Jenika’s personality, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“That’s all of a sudden…?? Why does that sound…?”
“Are you kidding me? Aside from elemental science classes, the two of them stick together even in quarterly common classes and elementology classes.
“…That… is….”
“Even if a man and a woman meet at eye level, all sorts of love circuits are activated and it is girls your age who gossip about it, and that is enough to spread rumors. Isn’t it?”
Professor Melina shuddered as if she was jingling, then let out another puff of smoke.
“And on top of that, these days, Jenika, whenever you get a chance, you just gossip… Even during lectures, you blankly stare at the blackboard and smile all the time. You’re like little kids who just started dating, so I only sigh. What the hell is that? With a bewildered face, the corners of your mouth are twitching—what do you mean?”
“Well, you don’t have to talk that far…!”
Definitely a sharp point. Anyone can see that Yenika is excited these days, whether she hums for no reason or her voice tone rises for no reason.
It was because the two of them spent so much time together starting from Ed’s seclusion period.
Basically, Ed had very few classmates close to him, so he spent most of his time as a bachelor with Yenika.
There were many overlapping classes, eating together, and solving assignments together, so when we woke up, we were sticking together.
It was a situation where happiness should be considered fortunate that there is no lethal dose.
“Yes… No matter who you meet and what you do, it’s not something I would interfere with as a professor. I called you today to ask for help regarding the grading of the 1st and 2nd year Spirit Sensitivity Assignments.”
“Scoring…? Me…?”
“Isn’t there anything that can’t be done? I’ll give you extra points.”
It is safe to say that there are few people who can match Yenika in this school when it comes to spiritism.
Of course, even if it’s rotten, it’s Junchi, and since Melina is also a professor, her knowledge of spiritism, her specialty, is unmatched.
However, its scope is difficult to go beyond the realm of the academic field.
The essence of animism. history. The spirits’ ecosystem. The concept of elemental affinity. Sensitivity training method. A deep understanding of the concept of sensitivity and so on.
In the field of academics, of course, Yenika can’t even reach the tip of a professor who has been researching her whole life… The realm of the senses is completely different.
Just like knowing the ball game well and being good at it are different… If you step into the realm of the senses, Jenika’s senses, which can handle even high-ranking spirits freely, make even the picky Melina nod.
“A joint combat practice is scheduled soon, so consider this an opportunity to straighten up your dignity as a senior.”
“I don’t want to build anything dignified…”
“To be honest, I don’t even want dignity. Just please, be patient with him smiling as if he’s happy in the world during class. It’s your blessing to enjoy the blooming youth, but from the sidelines, you’re like, ‘He’s a real spirit. Did this go out?’ That’s what I was thinking.”
After hearing the story up to that point, Jenika’s face flushed hot for no reason. Beeping, she lowered her head and quickly nodded.
Once you start falling into your own world, you have a tendency to not be aware of your peripheral vision. Maybe that’s why, lately, people around me have started to express their concerns after seeing myself with a strangely high tension.
Actually, it’s nothing to be concerned about. Well, it’s not like the corners of your mouth wear out just because you wear it casually on a regular basis.
However, there was one fact that Yenika hadn’t taken into account.
If you watch them from the perspective of a third party, they will not feel uncomfortable even though they look like lovers. One day, two people suddenly said, ‘We’re dating.’ Even if I declare it, I think it will be accepted naturally, saying, “It was like that.”
That fact may not be very pleasant to some.
“…”
Anise Heylan, who opened his ax eye with a stubby face and closed his cloak… He never touched the teacup.
Yenika is quietly photosynthesizing while sitting on the terrace of the teahouse in the student union building. She is a stuffed toy, and she smiles brightly with a bright face without any movement. She looks happy in the world with the glossy shine flowing on her face.
Nothing more, nothing less, it’s just a joke. It seems that even flowers are blooming around the hesitating figure.
“You must have worked hard today, Yenika. Today’s monster ecology assignment was really hard because there were so many of them.”
“Huh? Eh~”
“…I should have had an early dinner. Before the sun goes down, I should go back to the dorm and try to decipher the ancient text Professor Stray told me. “
“Uh~ That’s right~ I’ll have to try it at least once~ There weren’t many assignments in this antidote class, so it’ll be okay~”
“…”
As usual, it is Yenika who listens to Anis’s words, accepts them appropriately, and even responds with them. But Anis was strangely angry.
Anis is also sitting at the table across from her and her eyes are smiling, but it feels like her cross veins are protruding.
Looking at Jenika, who is happy in the world, it wouldn’t be strange if Anis smiled happily, but why is she subtly upset right now?
If you reflect on your feelings a little, you will quickly realize the reason, but Anise didn’t do that right away.
“By the way, Jenika… that guy…”
“Huh? You mean Ed…?”
“Yes. Didn’t Jenika know from the start that the man wasn’t dead?”
At first, Anis was worried that she had gone out of her mind when she saw Jenika cooking out of nowhere, but now, she understands all of her actions.
Even though Yenika knows that Ed Rosteyler is not dead in the first place, she keeps it a secret. If it was Yenica and no one else, she must have had good reasons to do so.
Anis was not unaware of this fact, but Anis was somehow grumpy.
“I… I was really worried about Yenika at that time. I thought, Yenika is my precious friend.”
“Uh, uh…”
“That’s why…. I felt a bit mean. I’m so worried about Yenika, but Yenika alone knew the truth and kept quiet and watched me worrying, huh?”
“Ah, no… that, that…”
What are you talking about with your most precious friend in the world, Jenika? Why are you asking such meaningless questions?
Anise did not understand what she was doing. He was just saying whatever came out of his mouth.
“Th-mi… I’m sorry… Anise. But there really was a situation.”
“To the extent that you can’t even tell me…?”

“Yes….”
“Then… I can’t help it…”
Anise sighed heavily. He kept his head down and glanced at Ye Nika through her side of the eye.
Like the world’s kindest Jenika, I was restless, caressing my fingertips.
I felt a sharp pain pierce my chest. An appropriate sense of immorality has the power to encourage people to deviate.
“If it were Yenika, it would have been a situation where she was helping Ed and getting into trouble.”
“B… similar….”
It’s similar and sleeping, and what he said was accurate. Inferring through limited information was Anis’ specialty.
“In the first place, Yenika… I think she always helps and spreads out whenever that guy is her opponent…”
I have a bit of a feeling because I was talking too directly, but it was a fact anyway.
“Yenika is that man’s housemaid…? She did it when she was secluded, what the hell does that man cook for him and take care of his housekeeping…? Did that man give him money…? Did he even give him a hug…? First of all Eul is said to be the one with love, but he crossed the line too much…!”
“That, that’s…”
“I’ve said it before, but it’s just a matter of seconds to get rid of the liver and gallbladder, and then be used and thrown away…! In fact, isn’t Ed Rosteeler a man who can still be like that…??”
“Why is the story broken by Ed’s curse here…? Anis, you said earlier that Ed was a pretty decent person…!”
“I’m sorry…!”
Anise was speechless there. In the first place, I felt like I was pouring out the story as it was being said right now, so I felt like it was logically inconsistent.
Anis is well aware that Ed Rosteyler is a more thoughtful and decent man than expected. That’s why the story flowed in the direction of gossiping him in a strange way, and it pricked his heart.
However, as mentioned above, an appropriate sense of immorality tends to encourage people to err. In particular, the more people who have lived faithfully by choosing only the correct answer, the more they feel a strange attraction to that strange twist when they get twisted once.
“Huh, I didn’t mean to gossip… Mi-sorry…”
“Oh no…”
silence for a while.
subtle atmosphere. We both don’t know why this happened.
“Yeah, but Jenika. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Be careful… what…?”
“It’s just a complicated story. Actually, if you think about it, even though Yenika is so devoted, Ed hasn’t that guy ever done anything like this? That’s true, isn’t it…?”
“Mae, thank you every time. He told me that it would have been really terrible without me, and patted him on the shoulder… and shook his hand…”
“After all, it’s just a façade…!”
It is converging endlessly with the way of thinking of a typical battered wife. ‘Isn’t this a bit off?’ Even though I’m thinking… Anise’s advice also began to bounce in strangely strange directions.
“It’s… time to put the man to the test, Yenika.”
“A test… I mean Ed? If you say that, it’s like I don’t trust Ed.”
“Now is the time to be suspicious. You have the right to do so, Yenika. You’ve done more than one thing for Ed. Are you going to live with it? Are you going to get it when you get it! You’ll become a real bitch after that…!”
I don’t even want an old-fashioned, foxy push and pull like Lortel at the top. It’s been quite a while since I gave up.
At the very least, isn’t it right to just spread out and avoid being beaten up for greetings?
“Ed, make that guy… angry.”
“What…? I… Why…?”
“People show their true nature when they’re mad, Yenika.”
So, it is a story that the man does something to make him angry and see how it comes out.
It’s hard to imagine Ed Rosteyler being angry, but he’s human anyway, so when he’s angry, he’ll be angry.
“But… Ed has never been angry with me…”
Yenika talking like that while twisting her pigtails as if in trouble… I don’t know why, but Anise was terribly nasty… !
Under normal circumstances, there’s no reason to be mean… It just was.
“And, it’s not polite to provoke a person just because you want to test them…”
The theory I hoped for. However, there is no logic to refute.
“Yenika. Listen carefully. To put it bluntly, isn’t Yenika having a crush on that guy?”
“Huh.”
It is human psychology that no matter how much the person himself is aware of, it is in the form of words that he becomes embarrassed when he puts it out of his mouth.
Anise’s words that come in without blinking and reveal the truth. Yenica gulped and reddened his cheeks.
“But do you know that now Jenika is becoming more of a close friend or family member rather than his lover…?”
“That, that’s…”
It was a real hit.
A warm and comfortable feeling that comes to mind when you think of Ed’s face or imagine sitting side by side in his camp.
If I imagined leaning on his shoulder, I felt my heart pounding and blood rushing to my face before… These days, I feel comfortable as if I came back to my hometown.
“That’s the problem, Yenika! That guy must be all the same…! What you two need is a ‘reestablishment’ of the relationship!”
“Reorganization…?”
“Yeah… you guys need to be a little ‘strange’! If we remain as natural to each other, we won’t be thrilled!”
Anise’s words have a strange magical power. At some point, Yenica also began to swallow her saliva and listen to her story.
“So… make it… moderately… angry. Then the real man will come out.”
Watching Yenika swallow dry saliva… Anis also strangely felt as if her chest was on fire.
“Then, I’ll go…! See you tomorrow, Anise…!”
Anyway, Yenica decided to take care of Ed Rosteyler’s spirit sensitivity training today.
Talking about the schedule and seeing off Yenika leaving the student center, Anis sat down on a nearby bench holding her face.
Bullshit to make the guy angry first. They brought a plausible cause such as reestablishment of the relationship and attached it, but in the end, it was just a waste of money for Yenika.
This… Anyone in the world can see it.
So embarrassed by my actions, Anise had to sit down on a wooden bench for a while to cool off.
however… On the other hand, other questions arise in my heart. It is a question that at least neutralizes the strangely rising sense of immorality and guilt.
In the first place, Yenika… Is it possible to make the man angry… ?
“…”
To conclude, it is absolutely impossible.
In the first place, Yenika is not a person who can do that. People themselves are like that.
Even more so if that opponent is Ed Rosteeler.
“Really… Doing useless things…”
Anis swept her face and hit her head.

I looked through the list of various magic items that I could craft in the magic engineering slot.
Among them, the one I am most interested in right now is the ‘thousand-year-old tree staff struck by lightning’.
First of all, the recipe itself is very simple. There is almost no fairness, and the level of difficulty is not high, and the power rating is high.
The reason is really simple. This is because it is very difficult to obtain materials.
A twisted branch of a tree that has been alive for over a thousand years. It is a material that does not give a sense of where the hell to get it even if you listen to it.
In the main story of <Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman>, it was just in the inventory as a reward item in the final chapter of Act 3, but when it became a reality and the current situation came to a head, I felt at a loss as to where to get it.
Well, if you don’t have it, you can make it.
Trees older than a thousand years are rare, but there is at least one in this northern forest. Then, it is said that all you have to do is strike a bolt of lightning into the branch of that tree.
The tree is ‘Merilda’s guardian tree’. If you ask Merilda for at least one branch, you can pick it up somehow.
If it’s thunderbolt, there is a high-level lightning magic called ‘Demon Punishment’ that Lucy handles. For Lucy, high-level magic is something she can use while picking her ears, so if you ask her, she will do it for you.
“Hmm…”
Thunderstruck Millennial Wood Staff (Very Rare)
Amplifies the sensitivity of all elemental spirits. Increases the magic efficiency of elemental magic.
If you look at the information section of the magic engineering supplies, it’s a very coveted ability.
In the first place, the sensitivity stat is a kind of uniqueness that is strongly guaranteed, so it is a difficult stat to amplify with equipment or strengthening magic.
Sensitivity stats are expressed only by the person’s natural strength. One of the exceptional items that directly breaks one of the core principles of <Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman> is this staff.
While patting the campfire with a poker, he devised a plan to procure other materials besides the lightning-struck twigs.
Most of the rest can be purchased at the Elte store. Putting it all together, it turned out to be a surprisingly realistic plan.
“Hmm… it won’t take longer than I thought.”
It’s not something I’m trying to write in the first place.
I thought of the oak wand that Yenika carried around as if it were her body. It’s definitely a staff with good performance, but it’s worn out after being used for too long.
Is there some reason why he only uses the cane, even though there are many canes given to him by family and friends?
Still, if you have equipment that can further enhance your potential, it is right to use it. There were many things I wanted to repay for Yenika in many ways.
I’d like to make my own if I can afford it… The higher the grade, the worse the efficiency of the mana used to recreate. This is a measure to prevent the infinite mass production of high-efficiency magical engineering products.
You should be prepared to slowly build the second wand.
If you’re thinking of recreating legendary artifacts like the Delheim Hourglass… It will take almost two months.
It’s something worth spending that much time on. Of course, in the meantime, I’ll be making lots of other magic engineering items.
First of all, I want to make ‘Glockt’s Eye’, another legendary magic engineering item, before the end of this semester.
Glockt’s Eye (Legendary)
Temporarily increase proficiency of all sensory abilities. Half the effectiveness of low-level magic. Cannot use defensive magic. Becomes immune to elemental magic.
Among the items that directly affect the sensitivity system ability, it is the highest grade magic engineering item.
I don’t know how to make it at this point, but… Still, it’s worth taking the time to challenge yourself. In particular, being completely immune to all elemental magic means that you have an overwhelming advantage when fighting against wizards. It depends on the situation, but half of it is a fraudulent item, and it is an item that could only be obtained in the late half of the original work.
Above all, Glockt’s eyes are not expendable. There is a cooldown, but it’s a reusable thing anyway, so once you make it, it’s tantamount to actually increasing your specs.
“Yes… Huh… First of all, rather than a distant goal, we should achieve the goal in front of us step by step.
Of course, it’s difficult on your own. I looked up and looked towards the cabin. No one really caught my eye.
I turned my sights around and surveyed the entire camp, and I saw Lucy taking a nap in the hammock netted in the trees next to the cabin.
“It’s okay.”
I quickly got up and went to the hammock.
I put my head in front of Lucy’s nose to make sure she was sleeping soundly.
Lucy was sleeping soundly, but if she had something to say, she would wake her up without hesitation. Lucy was almost always half asleep anyway, so waking her up made little difference.
I also don’t really care about myself.
“Hey, Lucy.”
When I called her name like that, as usual, Lucy quickly stood up.
No, actually, it didn’t happen ‘as usual’.
“…”
“……!!!!”
He met my vision right in front of his nose, and suddenly his eyes widened and widened. Then, taking one breath, she suddenly bounced and flew as if floating, landing on a large tree branch.
“Why why….”
“…is it that surprising…?”
The number of times he suddenly woke up Lucy who was sleeping is too many to count with two fingers.
When I asked if it was such a fuss, Lucy shook her head.
“…No, I’m sorry for surprising you. It’s not necessary right now, so I’ll talk later.”
“Ji, you can tell me now… Gwa, it’s okay…”
“No, come to think of it, I have a schedule.”
Explaining the situation and asking Lucy to cast the thunderbolt magic… You can do it anytime.
However, now that I think about it, today I asked Yenika to look at my spirit response training. He said he would arrive at the camp around 7:00 after the bachelor’s class, so he had to prepare soon.
I waved my hand at Lucy, said it was okay, and returned to the campfire. And sitting near a rock, reading a book on elemental science… I waited for Yenika for such a long time.
―Crust and rustle.
When Jenika appeared through the grass like that, it was around the turn of five or six pages of the book.
“Hello, Ed…!”
Some leaves were stuck on Yenika’s collar or nose, as if she had turned around on a rather rough road rather than the usual way. why… ?
“Oh, Yenika. It’s a little late.”
“Yeah. About 10 minutes late…!”
“What happened?”
After saying that, Jenika suddenly crosses her arms and speaks in a conceited posture.
“There is no particular reason for being late…!”
“…”
“It’s just… late!”
Saying that, ahem, he adds another clearing of his throat.
“…”
I was thinking about what kind of reaction I wanted and how I would respond… .
“Well… it can be done. You are very busy. I am grateful that you came to help with the response training.”
After saying that, I closed the book, dusted off my clothes, and got up. Since it was a response training, I wouldn’t have to use my body much, but I broke my shoulders here and there.
“…”
I don’t know why… Yenica was breaking out in a cold sweat at the subject of her arrogant posture.
