Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Maiden of Ice and Fire (3)

Thanks to the help of an unknown spirit, the match was quickly over.

The judges’ scores were almost at the highest level because it seemed to compensate for my weakness in elemental summoning.

On the other hand, Sylvia, who took the exam after me, didn’t score very well.

Returning with a very dissatisfied expression, she grumbles as she stares at the dark spirit on the palm of her hand.

“If I had gone out on my own, I could have killed them all in three seconds.”

“Keeing.”

“Why are you doing this to him… well done.”

I cheered Sylvia and the Spirit at the same time and headed towards the scoreboard.

The theory subjects are graded using magic, so the results will come out quickly.

Other students can also be seen gathering from all directions.

Soon after, the announced ranking was slightly below my expectations.

5th in 1st grade.

I got almost perfect marks in subjects such as summoning combat skills, which were given a lot of points, but I forgot points in various places.

‘After all, if you don’t study for a day or two, you’ll be pushed out of the top ranks…’

As I was a little discouraged, Medusha put up a rake and patted her on the shoulder.

“You haven’t been able to concentrate on your studies lately. You just have to make up for it in the second semester.”

As she said, it was a bit eventful after the midterms.

Having been stabbed by Sylvia, intervening in the assassination of Princess Elena, and going all the way to Westwall…

It would be even weirder if it didn’t adversely affect my grades.

I’m no iron man

On the other hand, Sylvia ranks in the upper-intermediate level even though her summoning combat skills are average.

Besides, Elfriede followed me right below me.

I guess I’ve been working pretty hard lately.

As I was slightly admiring, Howard’s name appeared in the first place.

“Ugh, that’s great.”

“Lou, Louise!”

As I was about to leave the seat after checking my grades, Elfriede approached me from afar.

It sounds like you’re used to calling my name, an awkward voice.

I quickly moved to my seat because it was burdensome for people around me to gather around me.

When he arrived at the bench he and Medusha used to sit on, he carefully pulled out a suitcase.

“It’s a vacation starting tomorrow, do you have any plans?”

“For now, I’m thinking of avoiding the Duke of Beltern.”

Elfriede’s face lit up with contemplation as I spoke a little mischievously.

As always, Medusha, who was guarding the seat next to me, asked openly.

“Did the Duke tell you to bring Louise?”

“That’s not it, my mother told me to know that I’ll be kicked out if I come back alone…”

No matter how frustrating and frustrating it may be.

I’m the next head of the Duke of Beltern, so can I just say this out loud?

Thanks to that, Sylvia, who had taken a step back, also showed a slightly absurd reaction.

By the way, Elfriede’s mother understands something…

Because her daughter had an accident, her husband even made a Summon-soo and a bastard, but it’s strange to sit still.

Of course, Elfriede’s mother is the right thing to do, but the bastard also depends on the bastard.

If it is the child of Steno, the eldest of the three snake god sisters, it is not strange to be cut off at any time.

If you keep going like this, you might lose even the seat of Jeongsil, so you have to move even more.

Of course, yes, I have a pre-order.

Somehow I managed to win my sympathy, but now I can’t change my plans.

As if Medusha was making fun of Elfriede, she quickly revealed the truth.

“I’m sorry, but we’re going back to El Cloud’s mansion. Christine and Maria are also coming, so it’s going to be a pretty fun vacation.”

“The master’s estate… I’m already looking forward to it.”

Persia, who was not yet aware of the situation, was wagging her tail and harboring vain expectations.

Thanks, I feel a little guilty.

Elfriede, who rolled her eyes, said bravely.

“Then can I invite you too…”

“Arthur. You’re really going to die.”

I really thought about Elfriede and stopped it.

Elfriede has a history of trying to lynch me using Medusa and her pets…

If you take her to the front of the handmaiden, it will not be safe.

No matter what I say, I wonder if they will listen properly.

Then, Elfriede protested with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Seeing you do this with your pride aside, you must have heard your mother yelling really hard.

“Mary, you’re going with me?”

“Did Maria ever try to harm Lewis like you did? It’s not comparable in the first place.”

Elfriede lowers her head in pity when Medusha gives her a pincup.

Of course, it’s all up to you.

As I was about to leave, feeling awkward for nothing, the guy offered something cool.

It is now a familiar communication card.

“Ha, at least, can you accept this?”

“What if this…”

After hesitating for a while, he got it and put it in the book, and his expression became a little more comfortable.

We quickly went back to the dormitory and prepared to go home.

Sylvia puts on the protective gear she used to wear while performing a mission inside her school uniform.

Medusha, who was watching the serious figure, trembled.

“You’re going home, right?”

“I’ve been thinking about something… Don’t worry, Medusa-sama will be fine.”

Silvia, who looked depressed, muttered in a tone of unsure.

Persia, who had not yet noticed the sense of incongruity, was still grinning.

I was worried about myself for nothing, so I stayed up all night with my eyes open, and it was morning.

We took an unwilling step towards the train station.

It’s early in the morning, so it’s still crowded.

Maria and Christine had arrived a little early.

Both of them look like they put a lot of effort into decorating.

When I think of the view of the mansion that is all crumbling down, I feel sorry for everything.

“Can I really not go back to my family?”

“Because it’s okay. My father said he was more welcome.”

Christine shrugs her shoulders.

Maria, who recently visited the family, is also embarrassed.

I nodded my head slightly and tried to go to the window, but suddenly I saw a familiar face in an unfamiliar place.

The person who caught my attention was none other than Ersa Cutter.

I would wear a white coat even outside the lab.

As I was startled, she found me and closed the distance.

“El Cloud. Are you going home?”

“Yes. Professor?”

“No. I’m going to Collingwood.”

As if conscious of Maria and Christine, Ersa responded by lowering the volume.

Perhaps he was going to save the spirit stone I talked about last time.

You have to pay a hefty entrance fee, but…

The Elemental Stone Mine located in Collingwood can be mined by outsiders.

If it was Ersa’s skill, it wouldn’t be too dangerous.

After looking at the map in her mind for a moment, she asked with a long, thoughtful expression.

“Is your house close to Collingwood?”

“It’s a bit far, but it’s between Collingwood and Welttern.”

To be honest, it’s a little closer to Collingwood.

As I said that, Ersa’s gaze shifted to Christine and Maria.

It’s like I’m thinking of a weird thing, hmmm. and she swallows a laugh.

As a courtesy, I invited her.

“Would you like to stop by the professor too? It’s also the spirit stone I’ll be using in the first place… I think it’s right for the person to accompany me.”

“It’s true if you look at it. You’re not very shy, El Cloud.”

I’m not going to stay in the mansion for the whole vacation anyway.

If there is an excuse for escaping even a little earlier, that would be fine.

Ersa, who had a surprised reaction as if it was an unexpected suggestion, lowered her voice and asked.

“Then, are you going to take a look at your library as well?”

“Are you standing? It’s not going to happen.”

The archives of historical noble families are bound to be full of valuable knowledge.

The handmaiden did not touch the contents of the library even in a situation where the force was greatly reduced.

Therefore, Ersa’s request was somewhat rude, but…

There was so much help from her that I didn’t feel bad about it.

It’s not like I’m going to disclose everything anyway.

He even saves a spirit stone for me, so I can grant that kind of request.

Ersa, who nodded her head with satisfaction, quickly joined the ranks.

We approached the ticket office and got a special room with Medusa.

After splitting into two rooms and boarding, escaped the train shortly after leaving the capital.

It took a lot shorter than when I went to Ice and Snow Hell or Westwall.

First of all, it’s not very far from the capital.

But this is the real beginning.

It was scary to arrive in a city that used to belong to our family.

A carriage with familiar sentences stopped in front of it.

The coachman, who stopped the old horses, jumped out and greeted them.

“Master, welcome home. The maidservant is waiting for you. There are a little more than I heard.”

I’ve already talked to Christine and Maria, but…

Ersa was unplanned.

Thanks to this, the number of people in one carriage became a little burdensome.

If you count Medusha, there are as many as 6 people.

The carriage in front of you is a 4 seater at best.

Even if I say that I ride on the driver’s seat, it’s over quota.

In the end, everyone in this place looked at Medusha without saying a word.

I left my expensive card behind and came out every day, so I meant to go in for a day or so.

Of course, Medusha snorted at such a gaze.

“I just need to go up on the wagon roof.”

“Don’t the horses look so healthy?”

“Okay. I’ll just call Bamdol and ride it.”

“Are you trying to destroy the road from here to the mansion?”

Medusha shakes her body when Christine gives her a pincup.

Then the driver, Uncle Henry, smiled slightly and stopped the fight.

“My horses are healthier than they look. Let’s ride it first. Would you like to ride in the front with the snake god?”

“Okay. After all, like a vassal of Lewis, you can speak a little.”

The horses began to leave the city as they boarded the old but well-maintained wagons.

I know it’s quite old, but it runs better than expected.

Medusha, who sat on my lap, endured the vibrations and looked at the expansive meadow.

However, after only two hours of lush green scenery, you can’t help but get tired of it.

It was clearly visible that he was enduring over and over again as to when he would arrive.

Finally, El Cloud Mansion appeared at the end of the horizon.

The size is acceptable, but one of the roofs has collapsed unsightly.

Ivy on a rusty iron fence.

Medusha, seeing this, spoke a word.

“Hey, what does a gardener do… I told you in advance that I was coming with my friends.”

“I’m sorry. It’s the busy farming season…”

The man who was holding the reins next to him smiled bitterly and apologized.

Uncle Henry is our family’s driver, gardener, repairman, farmer and hunter.

A vassal of El Cloud is basic.

Medusha, embarrassed by the belated explanation, rarely apologizes.

“I didn’t know there were so many shortages. I’m sorry.”

“No. Oh, you came to meet me there.”

Inside the wide open gate, the servants, including the maid, were bowing their heads.

A total of 6 people including Uncle Henry.

This is an insignificant number compared to the size of the mansion.

Persia, who tilted her head over Medusha’s neck, asked with full of doubts.

“Isn’t that your master’s house? Is it a stable?”

“I’m sorry for deceiving you. Shall I take you back to the Ice and Snow Hell?”

“Kyaah… No. Forget about that.”

Persia, feeling a strong sense of crisis, quickly changed her words.

When he saw only the splendid sights of the capital, he lost his mind.

Eventually, the carriage stopped, and the maid slowly raised her head.

I flinched and got off the driver’s seat and approached her.

Skin that wants to work in the sun all day long.

There were two children she had never met for the first time by her side, who could be thrown in the middle of the royal palace right now.

It seems that they took up orphans who had nowhere to go and raised them as vassals of El Cloud.

The guys holding hands friendly face me and bow their heads again.

“Welcome back, Master. Were you comfortable on the way?”

“okay.”

“Okay. You’re going to feel uncomfortable from now on… I’m joking. Don’t be intimidated already.”

The waitress smiles and hugs me.

I realized that I had just returned home and relaxed my body a little.
