Chapter 24

4.) The Wind Great Spirit is just A Big Lazy Cat

Havingtheknowledge from the anime is really making my life easier.

I am really grateful for that and I said my thanks toitin my heart.

[Lets eat!!!]

[Illmake it with everything I have!] (Charlotte)

The faceless woman,even if you only know a bit about the dark world you should heard about No face. Nobody knowswhetherthat personwas a she or he, shestoodin front of the protagoniststo disturb them many times, especially towards Alicia. I wonder when was itthatshestopped appearing inthe anime, but it seems shewasone of those people who defeatedthe piggy duke from behind the scenes.

She usually changesinto a woman when she is infiltrating somewhere, only when it is impossible to infiltrate as a woman shewouldchange herself into a man. But since she easilywentinsidetheacademy, I doubt shewouldveturnedherself into a man.

If takingintoaccount her personality, she will absolutely change into a woman, and not as a normal student but as a teacher here.

[How is it Slow-sama? I have confidence especially in the soup I made, Iuseda little bit ofthespice the head chef (of the Inn) gave me, so it should haveabitof aspicy sensation Slow-sama, whyareyou makingsuch a face? Is there something troubling your mindrightnow?]

I think I will make Art Ange stay beside Charlotte in case something outside my predictionshappens. And I need to somehow take careofthat fellow secret base in Yolem city in case she wantsto escape.

Fumu, I guess I need one more person to help me with this plan.

Eh, Ah.

Charlotte who sitsacross of me becomesreally worriedandit showson her face.

[Ah, sorry, there are things I need to think for a bit Woah, this is good. Especially this fish and that one that look like wrap up on something, its really unique. Its nice having this kind of fresh food like this, its really delicious!]

Lined upon top of the table there areseveral plates full ofbeautifulfood that smells good andarestillpipinghot.

Lets put asidethething with that rat for now.

For me, this moment here is the most important.

I eatall thefood prepared by Charlotte greedily liketheywilldisappearany second.

[This is good! That one is good too! Everything in here is so delicious! Since when you have become this good Charlotte?!]

[Slow-sama you eat too fast. Eat more slowly please. It is said that if you eat more slowly you will befeelmoresatisfiedbecause you can savour the food and that makes youto notover eating!]

[Its so good I can even eat Charlottes portion now!]

[Wha, whaa, then I need to hurriedly eat my food beforeistaken away by Slow-sama!]

After saying that, shebeganto eat her food in a hurry.

Well then I also need toeat more of this food!

WhileIeat noisily here, a certain great spiritkeepslooking at us while lying around lazily on top of the bed.

Ng?

It was using an old doll as its pillow.

I am really surprised Charlotte still have that, somehow it reminds me about thepast. Thanks to that doll Icouldbefriend Charlotte at that time.

Oy Art Ange, dont usethat sharedmemory as your pillow, geez.

When I feel a gaze in front of me I look towards it, what I see is Charlotte looking straight at me. When our eyes met foran instant, she looksdown in a hurry.

Buhi? Buhibuhi?

Somehow my eyes fell into the shelf behind the chairisCharlotte sitting at,and thenmy eyesgotstuckobservingthe most expensive looking bottle there.

Charlotte seems to realize where I am looking now.

[What are you looking at Slow-sama? Ah That is umm, it is to makethehair look more dazzling. Alicia-sama gave it to me to thank me for the beauty medicine. Wearebeauty companionsafter all]

The priceof thatcanmake quite a hole in the pocket

Those beauty needsarereally expensive as far as I know Geez, how much money did you pouredjust for the sake to become beautiful Alicia?

[Now that I think about it, you used to have long hairisnt that rightCharlotte? Why did you cut it?]

She had such beautiful hair; evensincethe first time Ibroughther back home, all the maidsweresurprisedatseeing how beautiful itwas.

[Its difficult to take care of it And I am just an attendant here so I need to pay some____] (Charlotte)

[____wanna see it] (Buta)

[Eh?] (Charlotte)

When she heard that, she suddenly stoppedeating.

I am also surprised at myself forspeakingmy feelingsso straight forwardly like that.

[Ah, no. I was just thinking it would be good if I canagainsee Charlotte with long hair, like in the past]

Oh yeah, I think my hairisalso already long enough now.

The bangsarecovering my eyes.

I try to deceive Charlotte by playing with my bangsto hide myembarrassment.

[Eh, eh, eh Are you sure?]

[Yeah,but to imitate Alicia who tries so hard to be beautiful its no good, but I want to see a fashionable Charlotte even for a bit. Well, this is the academysoyou dont need to worry about howothers see you Ah, somehow I just said something so selfish]

Charlotte just looksdown at her tableware.

Ugh, I think I said too much.

[Slow-sama has become selfish indeed But, well Thats Ill try]

Somehow Charlottes voicesoundslike someone whowasembarrassedabout something. After that, we finish our meal without sayinganotherword.

[Itwasreally good. Well then, see you tomorrow]

[Yes, goodnight Slow-sama]

After making sure the girlsdormitory manager saw me leaving, using the back door Icome backto the girlsdorm attendant section. I am sneaking around in the darkness while talking with the floating chubby great spirit san. The same one whobeforewaslazying around on top of the bed.

[Art Ange, there is a skillful mercenary inside the academy now]

[There is no malice directed to Charlotte nya. You dont need to worry nya]

While floatinglazily, Art Ange responded to me.

This great wind spirit san hasknownme since around the time I meet Charlotte.Besides her and me, it basically ignores anyother human being.

Did you know how high this thing is being revered by the people?

It was revered so highly by up to the country level, but for me who knows what it is like in realityIcant revered it so highly.

This thing just a cat who can use magic you know?

Im being serious here.

[By any chance, dont leave Charlotte side okay, Art Ange]

[Even if you dont say it I know nyaa]

[What the heck with I dont need to say it. You have done it once before, you said your instinct to hunt suddenly came back, and youwentto hunta mouse leaving Charlottes side]

[That was because it was my prey nyaa It was fun scaring it with wind magic nyaa]

The wind Great spirit san is a spirit.

It is a mysterious being that a normal human cant even see, thats why it will be kinda strange if someoneseesme talking with it right now.Well its the work of one of the protagonists compensation.

As expected, I cant talk with Art Ange if Charlotte is near me. This cat here is a weirdo.

[You should move a little. Charlotte will hate you for sure if you are that fat Well, she cant even see you though]

The great spirit san will make a perfect protection for Charlotte, while I catch that sneaky rat in this academy.

Without even minding my anxietytowardsCharlotte, this cat willabsolutelylaze around androllshappily when itgetsnear Charlotte.

[Good luck capturing that mercenary nyaa. Thats why Slow, just leave Charlottes safety to me]

After saying that, that cat is floatinglazilytoward the girls dorm entrance.

[What a free piggy cat, I envy you sometimes Well, I think I should go back too]

While thinking for a plan to capture that rat, I walk leisurely in the dark road of the academy.

WhileIwashaving trouble thinkingaboutwhat should I do to capture that rat, an idea suddenly struck me.

[Ah, right]

What a great idea I have there.

[Lets go get a divination from Shuya!]

What a great idea!

AtThe same time I thinkof that great Idea I run full speed towards the boys dorm!

Seeing me coming out of the darkness, all the students around the dorm yell scared to the point that their legs lose strength.

[BUhibuhibuhii!]

[Hiii! Something iscoming out!!]

Im sorry! But this isanemergency, please understand!

Its because that rat has enter this academy! I really am sorry! This is really an emergency!

Wait for me Shuya! This time your world will spin around!!!
