chapter 32
32 – aka wheel – 32
“hot! I had a dream! A dream in which a mysterious creature that seems to have been born from the abyss attacks me… … !”
“Sorry, but it’s not a dream.”
“Heee)
Luckily, when Chess saw me taking off his mask, he didn’t faint and stepped back and screamed.
“Monster of the abyss! devil! Arakat Almighty, save us. Arakat Almighty, save us. Arakat Almighty, save us———”
“Damn it, go there. chess. grow. Gregory Jones.”
“──Gregory-sama?”
Chess stopped giving odd spells when my name came up. By the way, Arakat is one of the gods that exist in this world, and it was an older sister-type card that appeared as an SSR card.
“Yeah, I didn’t know that I would pass out as soon as I saw my true self. I apologize.”
“Oh no! Rather, I think I should apologize… … That, but is that what you saw?”
“Yes, because it is the devil.”
I think it would be difficult to have a conversation with this look, so I solved the transformation.
“under… … . I like this look a lot Can you please stay the way you are? please!”
“… … Yeah, let’s do that.”
“Go, thank you!!!”
The reason I wanted to buy this mask was simple.
How much body transformation can be done with wheel foam? I thought of using it.
While Chess passed out, I experimented with wheel form.
I tried reducing the number of arms and decided to change my body to a humanoid as much as possible.
It was because it reminded me of the cockroaches living on Mars in a certain comic book.
As a result, the experiment failed.
As if to say that the wheel form would never change its shape, it did not move according to my will.
Even so, this mask was not useless.
The effect of amplifying fear was an effect that suited me very well.
“Let’s buy one of these first.”
“yes! I checked. Are you buying anything else?”
Nothing caught my eye.
“Look at what Rosé brings and think about it.”
Didn’t they say that even a tiger would come if I said it? Rosé, who disappeared into the store, has returned.
“Did you call me?”
“No, what did you pick?”
At my question, Rose smiled brightly and opened her hand.
“braided! This is it! I walked around with a catalog and thought this would be the best!”
“… … Is it a piercing?”
“yes!”
It was a silver piercing with a neat design.
The name of the piercing written in the catalog is “Lion’s Ring”
It was listed as an item that greatly increased resistance to fear.
“Surely, it’s a good item.”
“Yes? With this, there will be far fewer restrictions when fighting alongside Gregory!”
“but… … . Are you okay? It looks like it will pierce your ears.”
“yes?”
Rosé tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
“Aren’t elves sensitive ears?”
Even if Lars touched Lily’s ear during the play, it made her tremble. But I can’t imagine an elf like that piercing my ears.
“Ah~ half elves have sensitive ears, but not as much as elves. Maybe it will be fine?”
is it? If Rosé is okay, that would be it.
“Chess, do you know how to pierce your ears?”
“yes? no?”
… … Apparently, I had to ask someone who knew how to pierce it.
“Then just ask for these piercings and the mask. How much is the total?”
“hmm… … A total of 20 gold coins with a special discount!”
It was more expensive than I thought.
“What percentage is the special discount price?”
“90%!”
I can’t even cut my conscience.
“we are here.”
Fortunately, it was resolved with the maintenance cost of dignity. Being broke is the problem though.
I felt the need to earn money.
“Gregory… … Aren’t you overdoing it?”
Rose, who knows how much I receive for maintenance, cautiously asked me.
Since the maintenance fee she received per month was about 30 gold, it might have felt like a big expense from Rosé’s point of view.
“There is no problem at this level.”
It was enough to make money, and I had enough ability for that.
“… … is that so? I will write thank you. By any chance, could Gregory-sama pierce your ears?”
twitch twitch. Rosé hands me the piercing while moving her ear.
Do you want me to pierce your ears?
I shook my head and pushed my hand.
“I’ve never had my ears pierced… … . You might as well ask for tequila.”
“… … Apparently, Miss Tequila had a bunch of piercings on. … … all right.”
I felt like I was getting frustrated, but I couldn’t help it. Ear piercing is semi-permanent, so I shouldn’t have made a mistake.
“Then let’s go back.”
“yes… … .”
When I heard that I was leaving, I quickly pressed the button and opened the elevator door.
“Are you dying already?”
“Okay, this is enough for today. When is the next restock?”
“hmm… … The last time I wore something was 20 days ago… … In ten days!”
“is it. Then come back in 10 days.”
rattle. and the elevator stopped on the first floor. Chess where we all get out and turn the key to lock the door.
She made the key into a necklace and hung it around her neck.
“yes! Then see you in 10 days! We will give you a discount next time, so please come!”
“Don’t lose your chess key!”
“hehehe, don’t worry! I will never lose you!”
Leaving behind the chess waving outside the store. While standing at the carriage stop waiting for the carriage to the academy.
I saw a familiar face getting off the carriage that had arrived from the academy.
“oh! Lord Marvas!”
Rosé approached waving her hand with a happy face. Reluctantly, I followed her.
“Oh, Mr. Roget and Gregory. It looks like you’re going back from Sumonia, right?”
Marvas welcomes us with wide eyes. On his vest collar was a badge proving that he was an academy instructor.
“Looks like you’ve finished talking with the president.”
“Yes, you are more polite than I thought. I speak well and speak well. I was able to enter the swordsmanship instructor without much difficulty.”
… … To be an instructor at this age. Isn’t it funny?
When Marvas laughed loudly after saying that, Rose shook her head.
“On the contrary, wouldn’t there be many students who would be grateful for Marvas-nim’s visit? Even the Dalian instructor seemed to like it a lot, right?”
“Ah, you mean that prisoner instructor. Certainly, he had a great interest in swords.”
“Oh right! I couldn’t even thank you because the instructor dragged Marvas away! Late but thank you so much!”
Rosé bent her waist at 90 degrees. Marvas looked at me in bewilderment at the sight.
“… … Rosé. Marvas has become your summoned beast. To say thank you to the summoned beast who saved him, isn’t Marvas embarrassed, thinking that he did something obvious?”
“yes? Even though! Being thankful means being thankful!”
Rosé, who returned her back to its original position, smiled and said so.
Rather, the corners of his mouth went up as he seemed to emphasize the character of Rose more.
“Yes, you would say so.”
“As I lived, I had an interesting summoner.”
Marvas smiled while saying that, but—
“Still, keep in mind that I am the only official summoner. Marvas. Don’t even think about giving preferential treatment to Rosé for becoming an instructor.”
“Isn’t that natural? Rather, as my summoner, I intend to roll hard.”
“yes?”
Marvas makes an evil expression while watching Rosé bewildered. Rosé’s body trembled at the sight.
“Oh, rather an illusion?!”
“is it? well, that would be nice ah. Gregory. You too will participate in swordsmanship classes from now on. According to the president, you don’t even participate well in class?”
rector boy. Did you tell that to Marvas?
“… … Can you handle my Gregory?”
“You mean the damned martial arts that claim to be swordsmanship?”
“Don’t speak carelessly. Gregory style swordsmanship is the best in the world.”
“… … There is no answer.”
I wanted to give him a Gregory-type swordsman, a Gregory punch, but I held back.
“Isn’t that the carriage heading to the academy?”
Looking at the place Marvas pointed with his index finger, he saw that a carriage bound for the academy had arrived before he knew it.
“Right! Marvas! We’ll just go. See you tomorrow!”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
We quickly presented our student IDs and got on top of the wagon.
Transportation costs for the carriage from Sumonia to the academy were provided by the academy.
“Shall we go to Miss Tequila’s room as soon as we arrive?”
Rose, who was sitting across from me, stroked my piercing and asked me.
“hmm? Do you know the Tequila Room?”
“yes! Tequila said she was in room 824 on the 8th floor of the 2nd grade dorm.”
“is it. Then let’s stop by before we go back to our rooms.”
“yes!”
The carriage arrived at the academy in no time. As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a familiar security guard.
“Oh, Gregory-sama and the half-elf girl. Did you have a good walk?”
“yes! Mr. Walker seems to be in a good mood today too?”
Walker Sky Blue.
As a guard at the Summoners Academy, he was always the one protecting the academy.
“Gorum Gorum. Come on, let’s go in.”
“Yes, thank you. Mr. Walker!”
“Thank you as always. Walker.”
“hahahaha! What if this is my job?”
There is a proverb that has been handed down to players of [Summoner Academia] since ancient times.
‘Don’t fool around with the academy guards.’
Only a few knew why.
Why? Most of them died as soon as they knew why.
In fact, his true identity is———
“Mr. Walker is always kind~ Last time, Gregory-sama was very worried when he came in late.”
“Walker?”
“Yes~ The last time he transformed and returned to the sky, he thought it was an insect and tried to catch it, but he realized it was Gregory and let it go.”
… … … I almost died without knowing it.
“uh? Dormitories, quite a few have been built, right?”
On the way to the 2nd year dormitory. The first-year dormitory, still under construction, stood out.
“Certainly, since the summoned beasts are working together, it’s easy.”
The four major elemental spirits were the basics, and the construction work, including the golem and various summoned beasts, was nothing short of a cheat key.
“Iknow, right. Is that enough to finish the inside?”
“I will be back soon.”
“… … It was nice that Priscilla was in the next room, but it’s a pity.”
“Ah, that’s what I mean. I will probably go to the 14th floor when the dormitory for the first year is completed.”
“… … yes?”
Rosé asked how embarrassed she was, even blurting out her pronunciation.
“As a reward for catching Ifrit, I asked for it to be sent to the 14th floor. It’s the 13th floor. It does not match my status as a grand duke.”
“… … To say I’m on the 14th floor doesn’t sound very realistic.”
“Don’t forget Because I am your summoner.”
“It’s Gregory… … !”
Rose suddenly starts to cry. I quickly turned to the academy.
“Don’t overdo it… … . Hurry up and ask Tequila to pierce your ears.”
“yes… … ! Gregory! As expected, Gregory-sama is the best summoner!”
I’m the best summoner?
“Better than Marvas?”
“… … There is a more childish side than I thought.”
“… … Shut up.”
anyway.
I can’t play. I.
