(EP-59.1) Theo #8
059 – Silver Rookie Theo #8
Friday morning.
「The lecture is temporarily cancelled due to the Professor’s circumstances. Assignments can be received from the Teaching Assistant.」
As I was sitting in the ‘Exploring Fairies’ lecture classroom, the Assistant Marmar came and wrote this on the blackboard.
The first lecture ended short while the second one got cancelled. I wondered if things were really okay, but there was nothing I could do about it.
It seemed that Professor Stella would be kicked out of this school soon. This was troublesome for me as I barely made a connection with her.
I really had no choice but to risk my life for that Research Award...
With that thought in mind, I got up from my seat and walked out of the classroom and spoke to Marmar.
“Marmar, how are you? You doing good in Ark?”
Then Marmar spoke as if she hadn’t talked to anyone well in a long time.
“Comrade... ! The class system here.... It’s very disgusting... ! It divides people’s ranks and promotes discrimination.... This is unacceptable...!”
Marmar was a revolutionary Imp who strived for an equal world.
To her, the class and ranking system of Ark appeared to be nothing but a product of terrible discrimination.
However, this entire farce was getting a bit annoying.
“So what the heII is that tone for?”
“This is the trendy tone of Fairies...! In order to participate in Fairy Night, everyone needs to speak like a Fairy...!”
“Really? But it’s fine if you’re with me. You can speak comfortably. If you keep talking like that, I might give you some honey chestnut (smack in the head).”
“But....”
“But?”
“But I couldn’t get back to my original tone...! I just forgot how to do it...! Now, I keep talking like this over and over again....”
Tears welled up in Marmar’s orange eyes.
I didn’t know the details of the situation, but that ridiculous clown-like tone of voice seemed to have been fixed.
Seriously, who in their right mind would talk like that?
On another note, I was intrigued by the ‘Fairy Night’ that Marmar said.
“What is this ‘Fairy Night’?”
“Every Friday evening... ! In the secret fairy underground base, fairy-exclusive secret events are held... ! And there, they also sell treasures of Demon King Angmar...!”
“Really!? King Solomon’s treasure!?”
This was tempting to hear.
With the spells Halpas and Belial, and the Status Window, I had first-hand experience on how great the legacy and treasures of King Angmar were.
... But this event would happen tonight.
If I remembered correctly, there was also the opening meeting of SILVERS or something tonight.
Participating in Fairy Night naturally meant not being able to attend the SILVERS’ meeting. And if I participated in SILVERS’ meeting, Fairy Night would be out of the question.
Which of the two should I go to?
That was the question...
“Where is the Fairy Night held?”
“The central building...! It is a very secretive and mysterious place only for fairies, but you’re a Half-Fairy.... I’m sure you’ll know where it is when you go there...!”
I decided to participate in Fairy Night.
I didn’t even know what people would be doing at the SILVERS’ meeting.
In fact, I had no plans to get chummy with the silver brooch group anyways. After all, I was planning on getting a gold brooch and platinum brooch soon.
If I couldn’t raise my rank quickly, I wouldn’t be able to take the same lectures as Aira nor educate her myself.
However, not attending the SILVERS event meant that there would be places where I would be disadvantaged with my school life.
“Eum.”
Still, such disadvantages were nothing compared to the legacy and treasures of the Demon King Angmar that I might be able to acquire!
* * *
Evening.
I headed to the central building where the Fairy Night event was said to be held with Marmar, who just left work.
It wasn’t difficult to find the central building since I had stopped by it once when visiting Lady Kalira’s infirmary.
The problem now was where to find that secret and mysterious meeting place.
“Hooo, everyone, hurry and join in the secret and mysterious Fairy Night...!”
But as we got closer to the central building, there were already girls who looked like middle school students handing out flyers to the passersby...
“Everyone, join in the secret and mysterious gathering that only fairies can enter-!”
Behind them was a huge sign.
「The underground conference room where the secret and mysterious event ‘Fairy Night’ is held. The 3rd floor auditorium.」
... They were promoting it very openly, how was that a secret!?
And even though it mentioned being in an underground conference room, the actual venue for the event was the auditorium on the 3rd floor.
“I am Doornoi, the Nymph of the ditch! You have to pay an entry fee of 50,000 coins per person to enter the event!” freewёbnoνel.com
