Episode 80. Cake (9)

Until a year ago, the atmosphere in the Agoge dormitory was so brutal that it reminded me of a prison, and the docile and quiet students couldn’t walk with their heads straight in the hallways.

The old exterior wall was covered with graffiti with all sorts of profanities, and the grates that students kept jumping out of the windows to install were covered with reddish rust.

One of the bars in the corner of the 4th floor has been broken for a long time, but it has been left unattended until now without any action.

Agoge dormitory where there is not much sunlight, so there are more shady places than bright places, and the washbasin and mirror in the bathroom are not in good condition.

As much as it is called a trash can that throws students away at school, the eyes of the students living inside it are bound to be ugly.

however.

“Look over there. It’s a frill princess. I’m with Ji-on and Harin-senpai.”

“Do you come often these days? however… . Why are you jumping rope all of a sudden?”

Even in Agoge, where there was always a sense of tension, a fairly warm wind was blowing lately.

The rabbit team, which helped children who had difficulties adjusting to the dormitory, became an umbrella for students who were bullied.

Recently, thanks to Princess Frill’s frequent visits, attention has been drawn to agoge both inside and outside the school.

In addition, several brilliant students, including Mina, who became the head of the second year integration, refused to transfer to Paideia and remained in the Agoge dormitory, so the stigma of being the grave of inferior students was gradually fading.

Discrimination based on sexuality that has dominated Kiruna so far. The situation has changed so rapidly that Kiruna and all students can now feel that it itself has begun to shake.

This could be seen as a warm change brought about by the concerted efforts of many students, but… . Daejeon change always appears with people who do not welcome it.

‘Fuck, it’s a playground for very young kids.’

Students who felt superior among the losers had no choice but to come close to such a change.

‘Since when did this place become a place where such things can be laughed at?’

Emile, a low-ranking nobleman who gained notoriety for attracting bullies with money, glared at the two schoolgirls who were watching Princess Frill from the window.

‘Let’s do my own things. Anyway, the bitches who campaigned for using their own magic, or the bitches who deliberately came down from Paideia to Agoge… . Didn’t you just hear a lot of nonsense about all sorts of things because of them?’

From the looks of them hugging a book in pairs, it looked like they were going to go to the library from the weekend, but those turtle-necked bookworms were the kind of people Emil hated the most.

Among the bookworms, it was Emil who was a glasses-holder, especially those who wore thick frames like me, who made sure to stop them and break them by stepping on them in front of their eyes.

Even when Emil seized Agoge, everyone acted like they were dying to not go against his heart.

There were so many things that first graders have become so lax these days, that they don’t even know the etiquette they should do in front of seniors.

‘They don’t say hello until the end?’

His younger sister, Amy, who had been suppressing her anger by his side, finally called them out.

“Hey, aren’t you guys in first grade? Aren’t you going to say hello to your seniors?”

“… Yeah?”

“What? yes-? ha, Mr. Are these crazy, really… . Brother, even if you look at it, isn’t this a bit harsh?”

In front of the tall and formidable Emil, the first year students who had been trying to go to the library were completely crushed.

Emile poked his head in front of them, who were looking down at their toes.

“Aren’t you saying hello? why don’t you answer Are you sick?”

“… .”

“Why don’t you talk, are you dumb too? uh?”

Emil snatched the book from the bespectacled first-year student on the left, skimmed through the contents, and spat in the middle.

“Now, you guys are also X gods who can’t speak. Take the holy water I gave you and go pray together.”

The first graders who had been beaten ran to the other side of Emile, holding back their tears.

Amy, who was watching the pathetic back, soon stood by the window they were looking at and started to burst into anger.

“Brother, why are you just letting them go? Because that kind of thing goes well, we keep getting ignored!”

“Amy, it’s a world where being a new X is the official position. you saw it too All the kids who couldn’t figure out the situation and touched those things are lying in the health room.”

Unable to find anything to say, Amy glared fiercely at the group of rabbits that looked small beyond the window.

“… I hate those bastards the most!”

Seeing the first-year girls running away in tears, everyone seemed to have consciously kept their mouths shut, and the murmur from downstairs suddenly stopped.

The hallway was filled with silence as everyone was careful to breathe.

Emil smiled, enjoying the serenity he felt only when he commanded the place a year ago.

“Amy, shall we say hello to them lightly?”

“What!? no… ! There are a few kids who quarreled with them once and now can’t even walk… .”

Rumors that demons roaming Agoge every night wrapped around the rabbits were accepted as orthodox among them before they knew it.

Because of that, after the sun went down, they couldn’t even mention the names of those children, fearing that the devil would come looking for them. but… . Now that the sun is up in the middle of the sky, the devil must be asleep.

There was no reason for them to be cautious.

“And, until now, it’s because those children have touched me too openly. We have to use our heads.”

“Uh, how… ?”

“Among the people who owe me school fees, there is a child who wrote a slave contract because he couldn’t even afford the interest. Shouldn’t we use them at times like this?”

“What if it fails and blows because we ordered it?”

“It’s not just a slave contract, it’s a contract with a magic pact. If they sold us, would they really come after us? I’ll just be taken to the infirmary.”

Excited, Amy clung to the window and held back a laugh as she watched the group of rabbits unknowingly walking toward the dormitory.

“The X gods who think they live in a fairy tale… . Now I’m going to have a bite to eat.”

“… .”

“Brother, what should I tell the slave? I think they brought something to eat. Shall I tell you to pour toilet water over there?”

“… .”

“… brother? Why no answer?”

When Amy looked back, Emil was nowhere to be found.

“… brother? where did you go brother!?”

Looking around the hallway where even the sound of breathing resonates as if she were trapped in a secret room, Amy, looking for Emil, found white stones scattered where he was standing.

“What is this again? uh, uh… ?”

After confirming the identity of those white and red things, Amy collapsed as her legs gave out.

“this… . teeth… ? Why is this here-”

“Hello, Amy?”

In front of her gradually blurring eyes, a white rabbit glove appeared and spoke to her.

“I am Moby from Fairyland.”

“Ahhh… .”

Amy, who was completely terrified, greeted the red-stained rabbit glove this time.

“hi! I’m Ravi- You’re cute, aren’t you?”

“I, there-”

“Shall we kiss?”

“Ah, ah… ! Sin, sorry! Please save me just once!!!”

Kwajik.

The answer Amy was hoping for did not come back.

Instead, his eyes turned bright red. Sharp tinnitus filled my ears, and it rang like I was on board a shipwreck.

Lying face down on the cold hallway floor, Amy begged for forgiveness until her strength ran out.

“this… . But, it’s a rabbit… . I won’t be able to see it even if I wait… . Daevaal… .”

“Kids who live in fairy tales should have been left to live there.”

“ah… .”

“Don’t ruin my favorite story.”

Not having the strength to speak anymore, Amy nodded frantically.

“That’s right, you’ve become nice again.”

As Moby and Ravi petted Amy, who was completely ruined, her eyes turned completely black.

After wiping the blood from her cream-colored long hair, Lethe left the fainting Amy at the door of the nursery room and came back and stood in front of Emil who was still lying on the stairs and clicked her tongue.

“I pretended to be strong in front of the freshman year, but only after one jab… .”

Emil also thought about leaving it at the door of the infirmary with Amy, but the story of the slave contract I heard earlier bothered me.

I felt sorry for the child who had to borrow money from a guy like that… . In all likelihood, Emil, blinded by rage, might give the slave a dangerous order to kill himself with Jun.

I felt like I had to wait for him to come to his senses and finish the slave contract termination to put my mind at ease.

‘But, since I don’t know when he will open his eyes… .’

In about five minutes, the rabbits will arrive at room 3-28. Lethe, who had been waiting for today, stomped her feet.

“Boy, you can’t kill this… . don’t you have no… .”

Looking at Emile’s miserable face, she fell into trouble.

Even after Emil comes to his senses, he has to watch from the side so that he doesn’t run away from her.

“Shall I take you to the back mountain?”

After thinking for a moment, Lethe shook her head vigorously.

To have to give up the bunny intuition of baking a cake and keep looking at Emil’s ugly face, who doesn’t know when he will wake up in the woods.

It was an obvious loss that didn’t even need to be calculated.

“I can’t do that. yes. That makes no sense.”

Coolly convincing herself, Lethe went down to the dump and told the janitor that she wanted to throw away a lot of books.

“You can’t just throw it away. Come on, I’ll give you this, so tie it up.”

“yes~”

Having obtained a strong, long rope, she began tying up Emile, who was still lying down.

“Senior Lethe, we’re here. Guys, say hello.”

“hello… ! My name is Eugene. This is Karin.”

“I’ve heard a lot about Jun. Welcome~”

The ghost story that a demon lives in Room 3-28 of Building 4 of Agoge was, after all, a false rumor.

Eugene and Karin, who had been told by Jun several times that it was okay, were relieved when they were welcomed by Lete-senpai, who was wearing only one rabbit glove.

“Senior, did you do everything by yourself? sorry… . Aren’t you tired?”

“No, Jun. It was over soon.”

While going back and forth from the OPE commercial district, he put six beds in one place and left the table empty.

Yujin, who thought that Lethe would be a very ferocious senior in line with the ghost story, whispered to Karin in relief.

“It’s good, Karin. I think he’s just a senior who loves rabbits.”

Looking down at her bunny slippers, Karin nodded. Lette sat the guests on chairs and fanned them out saying that they had a hard time in the heat.

“Did you buy a lot of ingredients? It must have been difficult to bring.”

“I didn’t buy it, I got it… .”

“yes?”

Jun, who was sorting out the contents of the heavy envelope, began to arrange cookies on the table, not knowing when they were placed.

Seeing this, Karin robbed her pockets, and many candies of various flavors fell out.

“… What happened?”

To take a short break, the four talked about what happened in the OP commercial district.

“I saw you go over the fence. I’m glad the supervisors didn’t find out.”

“Have you been watching?”

“yes. Jun, I saw you come down and kick your feet in the air for a long time~”

“Ah!”

It was in the midst of bursts of laughter.

Yujin, who was wiping the tears shed while laughing, asked Karin, who was snooping over Lethe’s shoulder.

“what’s the matter? What do you have?”

‘I think there was a sound under the bed earlier.’

“bed?”

As Eugene tilted his head, Lethe hurriedly stood up and pointed at the watch.

“Hey, guys! It’s already time. Didn’t you have to make the cake before dinner time?”

Jun nodded.

“that’s right. Since we’ve been getting so many ingredients, let’s make several cakes and give the prettiest one to Yuri.”

“yes! If you think like that, you won’t have enough time!”

Watching Eugene pour the flour into the bowl, Lette broke into a cold sweat.
