The Student Guardians Are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 83



 

Dwight and Kaidel readily accepted Eleanor’s request.

 

The work progressed smoothly and quickly, as if sailing on a favorable wind.

 

When Adrian created sentences that were useful in business situations, Kaidel and Dwight divided them into two halves, translated them and exchanged them for proofreading.

 

Since they had already worked well with the printing company, the process was also smooth.

 

<Business Mözen 100>.

 

Suddenly, a very thin booklet was created.

 

The book, which accurately reflected the needs of merchants, received quite a response. It has established itself as a must-read for anyone seeking the land of opportunity called Mözen.

 

While she was satisfied with the fairly modest surplus, she heard news that made her jump.

 

“10,000 copies?”

 

Eleanor’s eyes widened at Adrian’s words.

 

“Who needs it that much?”

 

“Do you know what’s even more amazing?”

 

“What?”

 

“It’s an order from Mözen.”

 

Adrian let out an awkward laugh. Eleanor looked at him with blank eyes.

 

This sounds like selling fans in Antarctica…

 

If she were to choose the place in the world that needed this textbook the least, it would be Mözen. Yet to think that it was 10,000 copies.

 

Even if she adds up everything sold from Bellium, it doesn’t amount to that much.

 

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. I had some unknown luck.”

 

“Yes, it’s good that it worked out… I wonder what kind of person needs that?”

 

Eleanor’s curiosity was soon satisfied.

[Dear Eleanor

 

Hello. Are you still busy these days?

 

I heard the news from Kaidel. He said he was helping with the brochure you had planned. I mean, with Dwight.

 

If something like that had happened, you should have told me in advance. I could have at least written a recommendation.

 

Anyway, I will definitely buy it when it comes out. Buy something delicious and eat it.

 

From Hilde.]

[Dear Hilde.

 

Hello, Hilde. How are you doing?

 

Thank you so much for your concern. I was impressed.

 

No, I mean, to think that you still bought 10,000 copies. What on earth are you going to use all that for?

 

Dwight also looked very surprised. He was so dazed that he didn’t even respond to what I said.

 

Anyway, thank you very much. Adrian said he would buy me something delicious.

 

From Eleanor.]

[Dear Eleanor.

 

Where would you want to spend on having a rich friend? It’s used in times like this.

 

And it was a consumption that meant more to me than you think.

 

Every time I suddenly feel nostalgic, I open it and look at it.

 

It would be nice if we could meet again before I open all 10,000 volumes.

 

Anyway! I have a lot more money than you think. Don’t feel pressured.

 

Ah, ask Kaidel to buy you something delicious too. That kid also earned pocket money thanks to you.

 

From Hilde.]

Emily, holding a large bouquet of roses, walked towards Eleanor.

 

“Miss, another bouquet has arrived.”

 

Eleanor looked at the desirable rose with a slightly bored expression.

 

“Again? Where did it come from this time?”

 

“The Marquis of Blake.”

 

“Phew, can you put it in a vase first? You can also put it in the bedroom.”

 

“Yes, I will do so.”

 

As soon as Emily disappeared, Marie appeared. She was holding a large basket and groaning.

 

“This is from the Imperial Family.”

 

“What is that again?”

 

“It’s a fruit basket. I have never seen fruit like this in my life.”

 

Now even fruit?

 

Eleanor glanced at all the fruit that filled the basket and asked.

 

“Would you take it to the kitchen? So everyone can eat.”

 

For the past few days, the employees of the count’s mansion have been busy sorting out the gifts that are constantly coming in. These were sent from the Imperial Palace, the Duke of Valentine, and the Marquis of Blake.

 

The fierce competition between the three men was due to the Empress’ upcoming birthday banquet.

 

Who will take Eleanor’s partner’s place?

 

The three showered Eleanor with all kinds of gifts to win her choice. If someone sent a bouquet of flowers, the next person would send a larger bouquet, and the next person would send an even larger bouquet, and so on.

 

As the competition became fiercer, the gifts given to Eleanor became larger and more extravagant. It was to the point that Eleanor, who had been watching at first with the intention of gaining fortune, had to step in and stop them.

 

Eleanor placed a diamond necklace in front of Kaidel.

 

“I can’t accept this.”

 

“They said this was the most valuable thing there, though… If you don’t like it, I’ll change it to something else.”

 

“That’s not true, it’s too precious to receive.”

 

Kaidel tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

 

“Why?”

 

Eleanor was speechless. By his standards, this isn’t an unreasonable gift at all.

 

“You can’t receive such an expensive gift for no reason.”

 

“Aren’t gifts usually given for no reason? If there is something in return, it’s a bribe.”

 

Kaidel countered logically.

 

“That… is right, but.”

 

Eleanor, cornered, groaned. Kaidel slid the necklace case back towards her.

 

He looked at her as she turned her eyes back and forth and looked for words to reply as if she was cute.

 

At that time, Eleanor’s eyes widened as if she remembered something.

 

“Can you really say that you don’t want anything from me? The three of you are in a pathetic competition for my banquet partner position.”

 

Eleanor put her emphasis on the word ‘pathetic’ and looked at Kaidel with her arms crossed.

 

“That… is true.”

 

“So, put this away. I don’t take bribes.”

 

She pushed the necklace case towards Kaidel. He frowned slightly.

 

“Since when?”

 

“Since when, you’re asking. I was born with honesty and innocence…”

 

“You received it before, you know.”

 

Eleanor’s heart throbbed at the words Kaidel said with a grin. If one thinks about it, her relationship with him was based on bribery from the beginning.

 

“It worked well.”

 

As you can see.

 

Kaidel spoke, pointing to Demian, who was jumping around with his friends outside.

 

He said so, causing Eleanor’s cheeks to turn red. His eyes were round. It was Kaidel who was learning little by little how to tease her.

 

It was cute how her big eyes got even bigger and how her nostrils twitched when she was embarrassed. The way her cheeks turned red in an instant was as pretty as if flower water had been dropped on white drawing paper.

 

Maybe he keeps being mischievous because he wants to see that.

 

“I want to be cowardly and cruel, yet you say you want to be honest and innocent…”

 

I guess I should take a step back. Because I don’t want to burden you.

 

Kaidel held the necklace case in his hands. He lowered his long, abundant eyelashes slightly and spoke in a low voice.

 

“But eventually this will be yours. Even if not now.”

 

Eleanor answered, tucking her hair behind her ear.

 

“That’s something you don’t know. There might be something else to give as a gift…”

 

“No, I know.”

 

At his firm reply, Eleanor raised her head and made eye contact with him. The muggy air stirred gently between the two.

 

“That won’t happen, Eleanor.”

 

***

 

The winner of the fierce competition was Izmel.

 

The difference between winning and losing was more meaningless than expected. He used the wish ticket he got from the date.

 

Izmel, decked out from head to toe, was so beautiful that he looked like he could walk into the torch at any moment. Eleanor caught the man standing in front of the carriage and smiling at her in her eyes for a long time.

 

“Whoa…”

 

Eleanor expressed her admiration without realizing it. When Izmel heard that, the smile on his face deepened.

 

He deliberately puffed out his chest a little more and straightened his back. He wanted Eleanor to fall in love with him even a little more.

 

However, as always, it was he, not Eleanor, who fell in love.

 

“How pretty.”

 

Izmel looked at Eleanor and muttered softly.

 

Eleanor looked as lovely as a flower fairy in the pale yellow dress the Empress had chosen for her. It was a completely different style from what she usually wears, but it fit her perfectly, as if it had been custom-designed just for her.

 

She pretended not to hear out of embarrassment and changed the subject.

 

“If you’re going to do that, why don’t you use it from the beginning. The right to wish.”

 

“Then it’s no fun.”

 

She took Izmel’s hand and climbed into the carriage. The Crown Prince’s carriage was so spacious and luxurious that it could really be called a room.

 

Izmel, seeing that Eleanor had taken her seat, extended his hand out the window and signaled. The carriage began to move smoothly.

 

“I like it because I can pick on these two guys, and you like it because you get to handle a lot of things. Kill two birds with one stone.”

 

At Izmel’s words, Eleanor shook her head. That was such an odd reason.

 

“Ah, thank you for helping me choose a gift. Her Imperial Majesty the Empress will like it, right?”

 

“Of course. No one knows Mother’s tastes better than I do.”

 

Izmel nodded confidently.

 

As much as she received a nice gift from her the other day, this time she needed to prepare with a little more care. Izmel secretly told Eleanor about the Empress’s favorite things.

 

“And Mother likes you anyway. You have nothing to worry about.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

Eleanor smiled brightly. Perhaps because of the cute dress, she looked younger than usual today.

 

Ismel closed his eyes and opened them, staring at Eleanor intently as if it was a waste of time.

 

“I’m finally using my wishing ticket properly.”

 

“I know, right. You didn’t miss it this time.”

 

“Of course. I don’t miss it twice.”

 

Izmel nodded briefly.

 

“Am I going to monopolize you today?”

 

Monopoly, he says. It was a strong and direct expression.

 

She smiled softly as she answered.

 

“Well. I’m sure there are many people who are looking forward to talking with you.”

 

“What about you?”

 

Izmel suddenly asked.

 

“Were you looking forward to it too? That’s the only thing that matters to me.”

 

Eleanor blinked at the unexpected question. Izmel looked at her intently, as if waiting for her answer.

 

Her fingertips tightened as she held onto the leather seat of her carriage. Izmel’s red eyes slowly scanned Eleanor’s face.

 

Eleanor pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. The appropriate time to pass it off as a joke has already passed.

 

Should she say so? Or should she just scold him like usual?

 

Izmel took a step back. He continued speaking in a lighter voice.

 

“I’ve been waiting desperately for today. I even put a star on the calendar.”

 

Only then did Eleanor’s expression relax a little.

 

Eleanor still didn’t know what to do when the three people threw fastballs at her. Even though it was time for her to get used to it.

 

“Star…”

 

“Do you know that? I also marked the days when I received a reply from you.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Eleanor opened her eyes wide.

 

“Are you intentionally putting pressure on me to reply more often?”

 

“If you don’t want to, I can meet you like the two more often.”

 

Izmel slightly curved the corners of his eyes as if tempting.

 

“I can do better. To the extent those small fries can’t even think of it.”
