(EP-91.2) My Home #2

091 – My Warm Home #2

I had to be careful when opening the book because of how old it was. The woven parts were threatening to fall off.

「Adventure Club Class 5, President Theo Gospel. Vice President Priga Nightfall.

First Half Activity Record.」

Fwip-.

The very first page already caught my attention.

It contained accounts such as what items were purchased and for how much, as well as the resources used for club maintenance and food.

It felt like a ledger. Actually, it was probably what this got used for.

However, nothing seemed noteworthy. There was just a bunch of financial documents.

Yet, it was certain that a man named ‘Theo Gospel’ and Saintess Priga Nightfall were involved in many activities together.

Could this really be me?

Before being sold into slavery, was Demon Monk Theo Gospel active in an adventure club with the Saintess 20 years ago?

A connection between the Demon Monk and the Saintess….

To know for sure, it would be better to ask Saintess Priga herself.

Though I hadn’t heard anything from the Saintess since that last time we met.

But then again, she was a very busy person.

If the Theo written here was really me, then how old would I be?

Was I aging slowly because of my Half-Fairy heritage?

I had so many questions…

There was a high likelihood that Saintess Priga held the key to this. I would have to try and meet her somehow.

“Hu-.”

I sighed like a cooler ventilating an overheated CPU. It was important to quickly organize the things I had to do.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

Alright.

There was a lot of work to do.

Both my body and mind were suffering.

However, the path no longer resembled a dreary dark tunnel like when I was struggling alone in Angmar. Now, I wouldn’t have to deal with the problems on my own.

“Marmar, investigate all the students with the name ‘Theo Gospel’.”

“Yes!”

It was time to get up and start investigating!

“I was wondering where you were, Commoner. Have you been relaxing in a place like this?”

Just then, someone loudly called me in a prideful voice.

“Lady Mirna…?”

When I lifted my head, I saw Mirna Draco with a parasol slowly approaching me from afar in the park.

“My Lady, why are you here?”

“I came to find you, Commoner. I’ve been to your dormitory, but I heard that you went out overnight without permission. You didn’t even bother to tell me, Mirna… You sure have a big liver, don’t you?”

{T/N: Big liver = bold or audacious in Korean idiom/saying}

She should be referring to me sleeping over at Marmar’s hut.

Mirna was probably looking for me around that time.

But why?

While I was thinking of the possible reasons, Mirna opened her slender eyes and looked at Marmar who was eating a sandwich next to me.

Marmar was startled by this and quickly hid her tail.

“Another one with red eyes…!”

Marmar couldn’t even say a word, as if she was terrified of Mirna, who had crimson eyes that were even redder and more vivid than that of Kalira.

Well, Mirna’s impression was indeed a little strong.

“An Imp…?”

“Yes, Marmar here is an Imp. She’s a subordinate I hired.”

“I see… I did hear rumors that an Imp had joined the faculty. I guess it was your friend. Hmm, to be able to befriend an Imp… Theo Gospel, you are quite the talent now that I see it.”

“What do you mean?”

“Imps are masterpieces of Demon King Angmar. They’re famous for not bowing to anyone other than the Demon King himself. They are prideful and arrogant, so you can’t use them as servants.”

Were they?

Well, I didn’t know that.

“To be able to hire such an Imp as a subordinate means that you have the same position as the Demon King Angmar to this Imp.”

I glanced at Marmar.

Was Marmar following me like the Demon King Solomon, who was the master of the Imps? In a way, it was a reasonable, or at least, a close answer.

“Is that true?”

“I don’t know! It’s the first I’ve ever heard of such a thing! I’ve only known this now!”

That was right. Marmar seemed to be an unusual one.

“So, why is Lady Mirna looking for me?”

I quickly got to the point. After all, I had other things to do.

Then Mirna Draco, whose face was under the parasol, looked around before saying in a low voice.

“Theo Gospel, I have info that may be of help to you. Our family has a lot of books about the Angmar family. If you don’t mind, I’d like for you to come for dinner tonight….”

“Angmar!”

Then Marmar screamed.

Thanks to this, everyone in the park stopped what they were doing and looked at us, as if time had stopped.

Mirna sighed looking at this.

“I guess an Imp is an Imp in the end, given how she immediately reacted to that name. Anyway, Theo Gospel. I’d like to invite you to dinner. I want to introduce you to someone.”

“Introduce me to someone?”

“You already know that I have a sister, right?”

“Ah-. I have heard rumors…”

If the implication was what I thought, then I simply couldn’t pass this up!
