(EP-56.1) Theo #5
056 – Silver Rookie Theo #5
Dormitory Room 7.
I hurriedly went inside and locked the door.
Both my roommates Hans and Benjamin had already gone to class, so I was the only one in the room.
I thought I had to get out of this place somehow, so I hurriedly packed my belongings and moved my hands busily for the next lecture.
It was right then...
Knock~.
Someone knocked on the door.
━Theo Gospel, you’re in there, right?
“.......”
Someone’s voice came through the locked door. It was the arrogant and haughty Mirna Draco.
━Dracus Mora*
Click.
I soon heard the sound of the doorknob, which I had clearly locked, open by itself. Mirna probably casted a spell.
Swing~.
Finally, the door opened. With that, Mirna Draco entered my dorm.
“It got unlocked with just a simple spell. I can’t help but feel the cheapness in here.”
She then began to look around. Her expression was like that of a member from the National Assembly who just saw a semi-basement single room for the first time.
“... Oh my God, how do people live in a place like this? Three people at that!”
To the noble lady Mirna Draco, Room 7 of this cramped Truth Hall was something incomprehensible.
Of course, now that this was the case, it was good.
Mirna Draco personally came to my dormitory... I was not s†upid enough to not know why.
But there were times when it would be best to feign ignorance.
“Miss Mirna, what brings you to this shabby place?”
“Ugh. It’s no big deal, but it would be better to be straightforward.”
Mirna Draco hesitated.
“We are each busy with our lives. My time, especially, is precious. This Draco’s Young Lady is busy!”
Armed with a high pride, she must be feeling too embarrassed and shameful to make her request. So, I asked Mirna.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Theo Gospel, you are a humble, insignificant commoner. You should know that it’s impossible for you and me to exist in the same space.”
“I understand...”
“However, for your high academic zeal and taste in aesthetics, I’ll admit that you’re acceptable in your own way. After all, you came to admire me, Mirna Draco, and not anyone else.”
Sch.
Mirna then pointed to her chest. Now that I got a good look at it, her breas†s under the school uniform blouse were actually fairly big...
With her chest bouncing, I directly asked.
“So, you want me to play the role of the man who courted Lady Mirna for the lecture next week?”
“You’re a lot smarter than you look, aren’t you? But it’s not ‘playing the role’, is it? Because you really proposed to me~.”
... When did I even court you?
Regardless.
This # Nоvеlight # situation was not very good.
If I, the one who proposed to Mirna, appeared in the next lecture.
Then there was no telling what Elga and Aira would think of it. Wouldn’t the ‘suitor’ be torn apart?
I felt a great need to reject this somehow.
Mirna then said while covering her face with the fan.
“It is your honor to be chosen for this task. Know that you were given the privilege from among this Lady’s many suitors. Go ahead and say thank you.”
“Shet....”
“‘Shet’? What does that mean?”
At her words, I tightly closed my eyes.
“It is a slang term for orphans like me. It means that we’re really, very, happy and thankful. The glory is almost blinding my eyes~.”
“Hmm, that’s right! Of course, as you should!”
“But, My Lady. May I dare say something?”
“What is it?”
“As Lady Mirna said, I am nothing more than a commoner. Your Greatness definitely has plenty of other better suitors out there. I’m worried that I might not live up to your expectations...”
Translation: Choose someone other than me please-.
I thought it was a good excuse.
But alas, Mirna’s attitude was firm.
“That’s not something you need to worry about, Theo Gospel. But, if you are ashamed of your own shortcomings, let me tell you that there is still a week left.”
