Chapter 422 422 – What The Heck Are You Doing?
?
Inside a modest dorm room given to the church knights, two girls were on the bed under the blanket while looking at each other. They were Tris and Eli, and as Arthur had guessed before, they were gossiping about something.
"Eh? Is there such a story in the Royal Academy? What happens next?"
"It's true! Well, the noble girl is chased over by the commoner boy to the corner. She looked terrified, but my friend Karin saved her. The boy is then dragged by Oliver, Karin's fiance, to the Counseling Room to get punishment from Teacher Emilia!
"He was ordered to clean the training hall for a week and not get close to Class 3 after that."
"Waa… If I were that girl, I would kick that boy away and beat him up myself!"
"Me too!" Eli squealed with a big smile, "But don't you think Arthur will bring him away secretly and make the boy regret his decision?"
"Ah, you're right." Tris nodded in agreement. "I can imagine something like that happening. Come to think of it, something like that happened to you, no?"
"Yes, the son of Duke Bluerose tried to get close to me. But, well, that guy became a Sinner because he was seduced by a Succubus and was thrown to the church. His family is also destroyed because Arthur found that they are plotting for Virtue Kingdom's demise."
"That guy didn't hold back at all."
Both girls giggled happily as the topic changed to their fiance. Their faces blushed red, but they talked happily about what Arthur had achieved so far and what he had done to make them feel loved.
But then, a blue window suddenly appeared in front of Tris' face.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong, Tris?" Eli asked curiously as Tris suddenly stopped speaking.
"Art is sending something." The blonde answered as she raised her body, reading the content.
As she read it, Tris couldn't help but sigh.
"What the heck is he doing?" She jumped off the bed and changed her white pajamas to the usual Elf Tunic.
Eli looked confused, "What's wrong, Tris?"
Hearing her, Tris looked at her friend and heaved another sigh, "Art seems to be fighting against someone from a heretic cult right now. He wanted me to get Headmistress Alesia to help him track a hidden enemy."
"Arthur is fighting right now?!" Eli raised her voice and jumped down the bed, her breasts jiggled with her movement. "I am going with you." She grabbed the uniform on the side and immediately wore it without much difficulty."
"You don't need to, Eli." Tris shook her head, opening the window beside her. "I am just going to meet with Headmistress Alesia to inform her about this. I will return shortly."
"But, Tris…" Eli jumped toward Tris before she could move. "Do you know where the Headmistress is?"
At that word, Tris stopped and looked back. Eli was smiling gently. She was right. Tris had no idea where to find Headmistress Alesia.
"Fine." She answered and extended her hand toward Eli. "Come here. Let's go."
"… Can't we leave through the door? Like normal people."
"But the situation isn't normal." Tris grinned and grabbed Eli's hand, pulling her up. "So we do this!" She jumped up, pulling the brown-haired girl behind her.
"AAAARRGHH!! I hate height!" Eli shouted loudly as they fell to the ground at a fast speed. "We're falling! We will die!"
"You should really get used to it," Tris commented calmly as she giggled. With a sweep of her hand, she took out a magic carpet, and both landed on it softly.
The magic carpet took off immediately, going in the direction of the Royal Academy.
"Look, we're safe." Tris smiled gently at Eli, but the brown-haired girl wasn't looking so good.
"We're not safe!" Eli shouted while hugging Tris' thin waist tightly. "We're still in the air! On this damned flying carpet! Why did you have this?!"
"Art lent it to me for your training," Tris answered with a playful giggle. "Isn't this fun?"
"It isn't fun! It's scary!"
"But this is necessary for your training." Tris shrugged her shoulders and sat down. "Well, let's forget about that. Do you know where the Headmistress Alesia usually is?"
"Third floor of the main building," Eli answered, her body still trembling in fear due to the height.
Even when she was afraid, she knew that Arthur needed their help to inform Alesia. As his fiancee, what Eli could do was support him whenever she was able to.
Of course, she was a bit jealous that Tris had a way to communicate with him without [Earring of Communication], but Eli wasn't so petty about it.
'Uuuu, this is scary.'
Still, a scary thing was still scary. And there was nothing scarier than being in the air, on a magic carpet, without any safety.
Eli closed her eyes, hoping that they would land soon.
Tris looked at her friend and couldn't help but shake her head.
'Her fear of heights is worse than I thought. Art said she wouldn't do something like this, but… I guess that's because Eli felt safer with him around?'
Anyway, Tris controlled the magic carpet to fly faster while holding Eli gently. She wasn't a sadist and was worried about her friend, though she needed to hide that to cure Eli's fear of heights in the future.
Before long, both of them reached the Royal Academy. From the sky, Tris saw a beautiful Elf looking at them from the window on the third floor. Tris had seen her before sitting beside Arthur in the Annual Tournament.
It was Alesia.
"Hold on tightly, Eli. We will go down."
"Finally!"
The magic carpet descended slowly toward Alesia as the Elf kept looking at them with an irritated look. When they got close, Alesia backed away slightly from the window.
"Enter. Next time, use the door." She said simply.
Tris smiled wryly as she jumped in, with Eli still holding her. The latter then stabilized her breath with a big smile while the former put the magic carpet inside her inventory.
"Our apologies for trespassing, Headmistress Alesia." Tris apologized and bowed her head slightly, "But this is an urgent matter."
"Explain shortly." Alesia beckoned, crossing her arms and pushing her breasts up.
Tris nodded and told her about the content of [Love Letter] she received a minute ago. She recounted in detail, including the note Arthur had in the below.
"Art said that it's time for you to work, and he will forget about what happened last night."
Actually, Tris was curious about what happened last night when Arthur didn't return home. But from the note earlier, she found out that he actually was with Alesia, and the headmistress did something that made him dissatisfied.
Alesia furrowed her eyebrows when she heard the threat, or rather the note left behind by Arthur. She admitted that it was her fault and she did it deliberately. But to think he would use it to make her work like this…
"He's so petty." The headmistress hissed as she reached her hand out, and a staff appeared in her hand. "I just need to track this person who used <Clairvoyance> in that coordinates, is that it?"
"Yes, Headmistress." Tris nodded in confirmation, "Thank you for your help."
