Chapter 155

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

During the exam period, I continued diving into the dungeon every day. It was all for study. I cut down goblins while answering Muze’s questions. Each time I slew one, I solved another problem. To any observer, I must have looked completely insane. However, I personally thought it went well. My answer sheet was almost completely filled. Unlike during the midterm exams, there were very few blank spaces. This time, I could avoid failing.

“Kouta, how did it go?” (Emilia)

“It was my best performance ever. How about you, Emilia?” (Kouta)

No one mentioned that it was only our second test.

“Heh heh heh. I would bet a Cream Shiratama from Akasatana that I won this test!” (Emilia)

Since when have this become a competition? Even if I lost, it is not a big deal, so I had accepted the challenge.

“Muze did it! That means Muze gets one case of water!” (Muze)

So, this was Muze’s idea.

“Muze is getting tired of keeping count! Muze thinks it is time to start thinking about bringing Master home! Yet this Master of mine always hesitates at the crucial moments! He shows such sharp instincts in battle, but in love, he is completely helpless!” (Muze)

Muze criticized me harshly.

Why is she bringing up this topic here in the classroom?

“Listen carefully, Master. Before Emilia and Adelaide lose patience, you must make sure to win them over! Mira also said it. Muze does not want to see Master crying!” (Muze)

That was what Mira had told Emilia, not me. If I remember correctly, Mira told Emilia not to rush things. Is Muze telling me to do the opposite and move aggressively?

“Muze, is there water on the line for you?” (Kouta)

“There is not. Muze just wants Kouta to keep smiling.” (Muze)

Muze…

“In Muze’s and Emilia’s exchanges, Muze has already lost count of how many bottles of water are owed!” (Muze)

Emilia nodded in agreement.

How much were they communicating behind my back? I am with Muze nearly all the time. When has she found the opportunity?

“Muze recommends that Master start by asking Emilia for advice about the present he has been wanting to send to his little sister!” (Muze)

That was surprisingly sound and reasonable advice.

“Well then, if you would not mind, could I ask for your help sometime soon?” (Kouta)

“Of course!” (Emilia)

The entire class burst into cheers.

Kikuchi-san grabbed Emilia firmly and whispered something in her ear. Emilia’s reaction was strange. Her face shifted rapidly between Kikuchi-san and me.

I had a very bad feeling about this.

“In that case, I think a ring would be best!” (Kikuchi)

“That is not it! I really just want help choosing a thank-you gift for my little sister!” (Kouta)

Muze had rolled off my head onto the desk.

“Kikuchi… that is wrong. Kouta does not have the courage for something like that.” (Muze)
