Chapter 12 – 12. Lover
“Here you go.”
Black tea served by Finden Eye along with an informal, polite expression. After taking a sip, I push the glass away.
Before I could say anything, a grumble came from Findenai.
“Are you even a picky eater, master?”
“Findenai, this is your first command.”
Finden Eye comes out shamelessly. I said with my eyes fixed on the book I was reading.
“Never make tea again. “Cars are rare in North Wales, but you drive them like pig urine.”
“This bird… … !”
Findeneye immediately tried to swear, but I ignored it and continued to read the book.
If you ask me if I like books, that’s a bit ambiguous. I often read novels to kill time.
I liked games and video media more.
Anyone living in the 21st century could say this was natural, but my reasons were a little different.
I had a lot of resentment toward cell phones and computers, so I couldn’t mess with them unless I was a very powerful ghost, so my hobby naturally shifted to that.
Even when I borrowed my favorite book from a bookstore, ghosts often interfered with me and tore the book to compensate me.
The story leaked out a little bit.
Anyway, the reason I am reading now is simply to accumulate knowledge.
Since I was suddenly thrown into this world, no matter how much basic knowledge I gained, it wasn’t enough.
I read books out of necessity, not because I wanted to, and especially when it came to magic, I didn’t feel like I was biased in accumulating knowledge for a professorship.
But a strange smell began to drift into the room.
Even though I wanted to continue reading, I had no choice but to close the book due to the strange smell that assaulted my nose.
“ha. Skal.”
[Yes, master.]
Skal appeared from an empty place at my call. Finden Eye asks what he’s talking about and glances around, but of course she can’t see Skal.
“What is this smell?”
“smell? “What do you mean?”
Findeneye interrupts. When I order her to keep her mouth shut, she immediately crosses her arms and pouts.
[On Wednesdays, a smell comes out from the basement of the mansion.]
“wednesday?”
[Yes, that’s right. I tried to check, but I couldn’t because there was such a strong evil spirit blocking the basement.]
“… … .”
I touched the tip of my chin with my hand and then glanced towards Finden Eye.
“Findeneye, it’s true that you don’t smell anything, right?”
“Yes, I have better senses than most people, so I can’t miss it.”
“i get it.”
The moment I thought I should check the basement, I heard a knocking sound from outside.
When I gesture, Findenai strides forward with steps unbecoming of a maid and opens the door.
“Hmm, are you Miss Deia?”
“I’m sure I taught you respect, right?”
“I remember. “I just don’t do it.”
“That’s worse quality.”
Deia and Findenai fighting each other. Her maid, Finden Ai, has to go in and enter, but her neck becomes even stiffer.
Deia seemed to know that it would be her own loss to deal with him, and said as she passed by Findeneye.
“5 minutes.”
I thought it might have been buried naturally after not coming for a while, but it came to visit only today.
I guess I’ve been busy for a while with the members of the scrap metal store, and it seems like things have finally been sorted out today.
“Findenai, stay out.”
“Yes.”
Findenai walks out with his tail stretched out. Skal had already disappeared before I could say anything.
Deia came into the room making the distinctive sound of footsteps.
She was holding a pocket watch in her hand.
click.
“start.”
Deia was so blunt that she started measuring time like a wooden doll. I just looked at her in silence.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Time keeps moving.
At first, Deia kept her mouth shut with her arms crossed, but a minute passed.
Two minutes pass.
In the end, I frowned as I just looked at Deia without saying anything for the full 5 minutes.
Her mouth twitched as if she wanted to ask something, but she turned around and walked out.
Finden Eye, who naturally came back in, shrugged his shoulders and said it wasn’t fun.
“I was wondering what we wanted to talk about, but it was quiet? “Did you even have a written conversation?”
“No need to worry. And from now on, don’t eavesdrop on my time with Deia.”
“Ha, you have a lot of demands. “I have good ears as well as my nose, so I can hear things even when I don’t want to hear them.”
Findeneye is sarcastic, tapping his ear. I got up, thinking I needed to change my attitude.
“From now on, when you spend time with Deia, please stay outside the mansion.”
“… … “It’s only 5 minutes and you’re asking me to go outside?”

“I could bring one at the beginning of the year.”
“aha.”
Finden Eye immediately smiled brightly and nodded. Smoking was prohibited in front of me, so she was having a hard time.
“Then go.”
“… … “Where?”
Finden Eye had not heard the conversation with Skal, but had no intention of explaining.
Even if I didn’t say anything, she had no choice but to follow behind me.
As I went out in silence, Findeneye’s footsteps grumbled behind me, following me like a shadow.
*
School nurse Keren, who is busy investigating a strange case at Lovern Academy, entered Professor Peril’s laboratory.
Professor Peril fainted on his first day at the academy.
She, an unrivaled authority on body-related magic, had not even set foot in the lab since the first day.
“You mean this mirror?”
Based on Peril’s testimony, he stands in front of the full-length mirror in the laboratory.
A beauty in a white gown.
The face had an impressive sword mark running across the nose.
His dull gray hair tied in a ponytail and his murky eyes seemed to be judging everything in the world with skepticism.
“It looks like there’s no problem.”
Did you say that even if you turn around, you still see yourself in the mirror? Keren turned around once, but the mirror in the mirror also turned the same way.
“Hey.”
Keren stroked his chin, pulled out the sword tied to his waist, and swung it.
“You turned in the same direction as me.”
Clink!
A mirror shattered into pieces.
The mirror that was supposed to be opposite left and right turned in the same direction as me.
Among the pieces of the broken mirror, I could see Keren himself laughing.
“There definitely seems to be something here.”
Current Professor Perrill’s laboratory.
However, this place was originally the laboratory of excommunicated professor Deius Verdi.
“This place was the first place.”
In terms of time, this laboratory was the place where the abnormal phenomenon first occurred.
Professor Peril said he saw a girl with long hair, along with many screams and complaints.
“It’s not coming out.”
No matter how long I wait, such a girl will not appear.
Thinking that it would be a bit disappointing to end up with just one mirror, I started looking around the lab.
Former Professor Deius used a lot of the equipment at Lovern Academy and left most of the items behind, so there was quite a bit of stuff to look through.
“for now… … .”
As I moved to take a look at the professor’s desk, the door burst open.
I wondered if it was an abnormal phenomenon again, but it wasn’t.
“What are you doing here?”
A beautiful woman with blonde hair braided and hanging limply on her shoulders, she is the fiancée of Deius Verdi.
It was Erica Bright.
“Oh, Professor Erica. You’ve come to the right place. “Has your fiancé said anything about this incident?”
Erica openly frowns at Keren, who comes in right away.
“I haven’t contacted him once since he was fired. And he has nothing to do with this incident.”
“… … “Not related?”
“Yes, none.”
Because Erica answered so firmly, Keren began to become suspicious of her.
“Why do you think that?”
Erica is displeased with Karen asking questions as if she is being interrogated.
“Professor Keren, you see this as a form of terrorism, right? But he doesn’t have that level of ability. In fact, he is a criminal who cannot even get the title of professor. “He was so alone that he could barely be called a visiting professor.”
“Hmm.”
Clearly, looking at the materials Professor Deius left behind, there were only extremely basic magic books.
Well, things so basic that you might wonder if you’ve ever seen something like this.
“So, don’t mess around with incompetent people and find the right culprit.”
“Well, I’ll do it my way. As you know, the Dean has handed over full authority over the investigation of this incident to me.”
“… … .”
Since she had already been informed about it, Erica also kept her mouth shut.
Thump thump thump.
Heavy footsteps echoing from the hallway. Both of them knew that this was not an abnormal sign.
Because the gait that shakes the ground was quite famous at Lovern Academy.
“Huh? “All the beautiful professors from our academy are gathered here.”
Tall height and beautiful, harmonious muscles like a statue. A man with an exciting appearance and a passionate expression that naturally leads to the word handsome.
Gideon Geronia.
In addition to being a skilled swordsman, he is the second son of a powerful family in the kingdom of Geronia.
The most popular professor among female students.
He smiled refreshingly, and Keren responded with a smile.
“Professor Gideon, are you also investigating this incident?”
“yes? No, I came to pick up Professor Erica. “I have something to tell you briefly.”
Professor Erica says she understands and immediately leaves the lab.
“Don’t waste your time looking around in useless places.”
He said a quick word to Karen.
It rattled.
The two people leave and the door closes. But for a moment, Keren’s eyes started fluttering.
“Hmm?”
Before the last door closes,
I think Gideon’s hand is wrapped around Erica’s waist?
Even if you broke off your engagement with Deius, it was too short a time to find a new lover.
Karen carefully opens the door and sticks her head out to chase the two people.
“Stop, not there.”
Erica pushed away Gideon’s hand that was wrapping around her waist.
“no way. Too conservative. “With people you’re dating.”
Gideon smiles slyly and reaches out his hand again, but Erica slaps his hand away.
‘Are you two dating?’
From that perspective, it didn’t seem like Erica had any feelings of affection for Gideon.
‘Well, it’s none of my business.’
Keren quietly closed the door again and began rummaging around the lab, ignoring Erica’s advice.
