Chapter 46. Found. A flower that resembles me
In conclusion, it worked out well.
It was because Matthew immediately apologized to the professor, and the professor accepted the apology with his eyes wide open as usual.
“Assuming this disrespect is the last, I will accept your apology. Today’s class ends here.”
After handing out the timetable, Jade immediately closed the class.
Matthew gritted his teeth and soon followed Kromhell out of the class.
Then the other nobles also left in groups.
With all the nobility gone, the remaining commoners also began to pack their belongings.
No one spoke to Tail during the rush.
On the contrary, he glared slightly as if it was Tail that created the situation.
Only Tail, Alice, and Ethan were left in the class.
Alice laughed incredulously.
“Why are they staring at you like that? Isn’t this your fault?”
To Alice’s question, Tail answered as he packed his things.
It was because I had to move to a specific place for the next class.
“What? The commoners kept offending the nobles, and even if I didn’t act like that, I thought it was me who was the cause.”
Tail has lived in a place called Earth where there is no caste system.
They have lived here all their lives where the caste system is tainted everywhere.
Most of them feel that commoners and nobles are completely different people.
Aristocrats are proud, chosen, and blessed by God.
The perception that a commoner would not be able to break even a bone if he treated them carelessly remained deep in his body.
However, since he kept popping out and inadvertently offending the nobles, he must be afraid of repercussions.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
The problem wasn’t them.
‘The problem must be the person this class has further expanded on, Kromhell.’
I didn’t want to be ignored because I did it openly, so now I see people around me ordering it, so I thought it wouldn’t be an easy relationship to end.
Then, Alice opened her mouth, crumpling her face.
“… It’s really unfair.”
She looked furious.
“We have an elven queen, elven royalty, and a senate, but no one thinks like this.”
Tails replied as she glanced at her like that.
“What. You are an elf If you don’t understand, think it’s just a racial difference.”
Tale said in a low-pitched voice.
“Because human beings are a species whose aptitude is released only when they step on something.”
After continuing the conversation, Alice sighed and stood up.
Tayl, who had packed all his belongings, said to Ethan behind him.
“Aren’t you going?”
“… Uh? Uh.”
As if lost in thought, Ethan hurriedly packed her things.
“I’m going to be late, let’s go quickly.”
The three left the class so quickly.

The next class was gardening.
The gardening class was held in a bright garden.
In front of me was a large desk with a vase on it.
Is it because of the beautiful flowers?
Alice’s expression improved.
She smiled brightly and looked around her.
“I don’t know who raised it. A lot of sincerity goes into it.”
“Can you feel it?”
When Ethan, who was next to him, asked, Alice gently caressed a flower and said,
“I can feel it. That it was raised with consideration for the characteristics of all plants. At the same time, the plants are happy.”
Ethan looked at her curiously at Alice’s words.
However, unlike them, the students’ expressions were not good at the unexpected class.
Except for noble female students who were originally well versed in gardening and commoners who are interested in gardening for the first time.
Most of the noble male students laughed at the gardening class.
“Ah. What’s a gardening class all of a sudden?”
“As a man, I have to arrange flowers?”
“Really useless.”
As grumbling voices could be heard here and there, an old woman appeared in the garden.
“Ho-ho-ho. Nice to meet you.”
She was a good-looking old woman.
“My name is Sophia Peach. This is the professor who will teach the gardening class. Ho Ho.”
She stood in front, holding a long staff with her flower stems entwined around it.
“Looks like you are dissatisfied with the gardening class. Ho ho ho.”
She continued her words with a bright smile.
“What is your student name?”
The student she approached was Matthew Beria, an aristocratic boy who first complained.
He answered slightly nervously.
“This is Matthew Beria.”
“Hmm. Okay. Apparently, there are a lot of dissatisfaction with gardening classes?”
Sophia smiled kindly, and Matthew, encouraged by her smile, opened her mouth.
“Honestly…. I don’t know why I, an aristocratic man, should listen.”
“I see.”
Sophia let out a soft laugh.
“Then why don’t you listen?”
“… Yes?”
When I was wondering about the unknown words, a huge stem came out from the grass.
Then he wrapped around his feet and lifted them up.
“Ouch!”
Before he could restrain himself, the plant stem threw Matthew out of the garden.
“Student Matthew Beria is absent today.”
She continued her words with a broad smile.
“Who would like to be absent more? Ho Ho.”
The students had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
Sophia kindly smiled at the students.
“Then I will know that there is no such thing and proceed.”
She continued her explanation slowly.
“Gardening is one of the ways I express myself. So, from now on, let’s take a look at the garden and bring a flower that looks like you.”
A flower that resembles you.
The words strangely stuck in her head.
And Sophia added her words.
“Instead, there is a no access sign at the far left end of the garden. You shouldn’t go in there. Ho Ho.”
She slammed her wand lightly on the floor.
Koo-ung!
At the same time, a large sunflower flower was revealed in the air.
A clock was drawn in the center of the sunflower.
“We’ll see you in 20 minutes. Let’s start. Ho ho ho.”
* * *
Ethan said that there was a flower he thought of and moved separately, so Tail and Alice wandered around the garden together.
Her arms were full of various flowers.
As she walked through the garden, Alice’s expression was full of life.
When she held out her hand, the flowers leaned against her hand like puppies.
‘Is that like an elf after all?’
Just as I was thinking that, I saw a no-access sign in front of me.
Alice peeked inside and said.
“Let’s go back.”
It was then.
“… Uh?”
Three boys giggled past the sign.
“I have to go more places where I was told not to go.”
“Yes. It’s probably because there are so many precious flowers that I couldn’t enter.”
Among them was Kromhell.
Alice clicked her tongue.
“There is a reason not to go in.”
And covered his ears with both hands.
At the same time, the scent of fragrant flowers wafted from her closely pressed body.
“Close up tight.”
Huh? What?
It was then.
Ooo!
An incredibly loud cry was heard.
“What, what!”
“Hey! Why is this!”
“Yaya! Make it quiet!”
A large flower was in full bloom where they pointed.
But what is unusual is that there is a baby face in the center of the flower.
The baby face flower was crying loudly.
“It’s the flower of the underworld.”
I couldn’t hear her voice, but I could see Alice clicking her tongue.
“Just cover your ears for a moment.”
Alice slowly approached the flower.
In front of me, the children crawled on the floor in agony at the piercing voice.
Arriving at the flower, Alice slowly reached out her hand.
“Shhh…. Are you okay.”
Her voice resonated warmly.
“I was surprised. I was scared.”
The flower stopped crying slowly.
“It’s okay. Those kids will be leaving soon.”
As she stroked the flower slowly, the large petals trembled slightly.
Then the flower stopped crying and slowly closed its petals, taking the shape of a bud.
She said, glaring at the children who were catching their breath on the floor.
“You don’t know when this flower will cry again, so get out quickly.”
The children rushed out at Alice’s words.
Alice returned to Tails with a sigh.
Professor Sophia approached me in the meantime and said in surprise.
“As expected, he is an elf, so he handles it well. The flowers of the Pandemonium would be difficult for even a tolerable elf to handle. That’s great. Ho ho ho.”
Alice’s cheeks turned red at the professor’s praise.
Then she came closer to Tail and whispered in his ear.
“Ah. Tail. Thank you.”
Huh? What?
When Tail looked at her with a puzzled look, Alice scratched her cheek and said,
“I…. Originally, I couldn’t even handle plants. Thanks to you.”
Ah. But.
Even though he was an elf who commanded the spirits, he probably didn’t treat plants equally.
“By the way. Tail, aren’t you going to ask for flowers?”
Twenty minutes passed, but Tail couldn’t pick any flowers.
I don’t know why.
Looking at the colorful and beautiful flowers, she did not think that she resembled herself.
“Well…. Should I just take something?”
Around that time. A flower came into his eyes.
It was a blue rose.
However.
Unlike other blue roses, the flower bloomed sloppily and ugly.
It has a strange appearance and stands out more than other blue roses.
No one even picked up the flower.
Tale stared blankly at the flower.
“I found it.”
He murmured softly.
A flower that resembles me.
