Cecile became strange.

No, should I say this has gotten weird?

“I’m going to start a simple test from now on. Let the wizards come to Cheonyeong, and the knights to come to me.”

The cadets of the academy were equally embarrassed. Is it because of their stupid faces? Cecile, who gave the instructions, asked in a puzzled way.

“Why do you do that?”

At that time, a female student who belonged to the knights department raised her hand. Everyone was curious about it, but it seemed like they were trying to ask something that they couldn’t ask.

“I. Professor Cecil. I have a question…”

“Yes. Ask. Questions are important.”

“Where are you going today?”

“……”

“The makeup I don’t usually wear… The clothes…”

Yes. It was Cecile’s appearance that made not only me but also the students question her.

With her swan-needed attitude, she always wore no make-up and just her old clothes and robes.

But it was different now.

Clean and lightly made up, her white shirt was not stained with a single drop of the test solution as before.

Is there a high waist? Perhaps thanks to the skirt that seems to emphasize her thin waist, her slender yet well-proportioned figure is revealed.

Like her skirt above her knees, and the yellow ribbon around her neck.

Everyone was surprised at her decorated appearance, which was not like her usual girl.

“…Shouldn’t I?”

“No?! Now, it’s because it suits you so well!”

Her female student hurriedly shook her head at her question with her sullen expression.

Yes. Cecile was a beauty anyway. She had been beautiful even without makeup until now, but her beauty stood out even more when she was properly dressed.

I’m proud of myself for nothing.

“Then let’s begin. Cheonyeong. I’ll leave you sparring with the wizards.”

“Okay.”

Today is the last day to support Cecil as a temporary instructor at the academy.

For the time being, I will be concentrating on theory and research assignments, so I will not participate in practice.

In other words, that means that after today, you have to return to the Starin estate.

Of course, you will have to come back next month, but anyway, you will need to work hard today to reap the beauty of the end.

The class is over and the students start to leave. As I was watching them, Cecile approached me.

“Keuheum. Today’s class was hard.”

“No big deal. More than that, where are you really going today?”

“No. Why?”

“From makeup to clothes that I don’t usually do…”

“…Doesn’t it suit you?”

“It suits you very well. Ha ha ha! You are beautiful as before, but you look even more beautiful when you decorate like this.”

“…Huh. Well, I’m a girl too. I’m more beautiful than that… Do you think so?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“You must say it’s nice to look at, right? Huhu. Then that’s it.”

For some reason, he seems to be in a pretty good mood. Praise makes even the demons dance… Shall we praise more?

“Wow. Seeing you’re dressed like this, I guess you should ask me out on a date. I guess that’s polite.”

“Hmm… Shouldn’t I be back today?”

“That’s right.”

I don’t think there will be much of a problem for a few hours as Cecil uses teleport magic to send me to the territory.

She looked at me for a moment before grinning and gently grabbing my arm.

“If you really want to go on a date like that, you have to accept it.”

Huh? Really?

Aren’t you busy?

“Thanks to the research and classes, everything went well thanks to that. All I can do for you is this much… Don’t you like it?”

“No. It’s an honor for me.”

“Whoa, whoa. Then, let’s meet at the main gate of the academy later.”

Can’t we just go out together? Cecil’s lab was the only place I would go anyway. But as if she would not allow her objection, she turned around and started walking away. It seems that the steps are quite light.

Um… Yes. Well, Cecile must also have time to rest.

She tried to spend her spare time in her lab, but she couldn’t go in because of the letters hanging at the entrance to the lab saying that she was out. While she was wondering where to spend her time because the door was locked, someone appeared to solve her problem.

“What are you doing here? I’m not going in.”

“Sage Cecil is away.”

“Huh. That’s amazing. She doesn’t leave her lab outside of her classes.”

“You don’t usually go out, do you?”

Diago nodded her head. And she sighed softly as she pointed to her lab.

“Sage Cecil is young but competent. Perhaps because she is aware of her own competence, she is always concentrating on research. Even when the other wise men told me that I should play around when I was young, I didn’t listen. Are the Steins like that? “

Certainly, both Cecil and Lucy were far from playful.

Of course, living hard is a wonderful thing.

But people have to be released to some extent. If you become blind to one thing, you won’t be able to look around, and eventually you will end up hating everything.

“I decided to go play with Cecil today anyway.”

“Oh. Really? That’s great. I hope you have a nice break.”

“But there is still some time left until the appointment time…”

“Then will you help me with my experiments? I’ll give you something nice in return.”

“What is it?”

“Now. This.”

What he took out of his pocket was a ticket. When I checked, it was a ticket for a performance at a theater in the academy district.

“Isn’t this ticket hard to find?”

“hahahaha. That’s right. I’ll give you this after I helped you with the facilities there. But I don’t like this kind of thing, and there’s no one to give it to me, so let’s use it this time.”

“Oh. I should thank you for that. I was wondering what else to do.”

“Have you ever been on a date?”

Date. If there was a good atmosphere in Murim, there would always be assassins or Murim people attacking, so I never did it properly. And in a past life…

“…There is none.”

“…Try hard. Don’t do anything weird.”

Ah. Yes. I don’t know what that weird thing is, but you can treat it like normal.

After wasting time talking with Diago, I parted ways with him and headed to the meeting place. How long have you been waiting in front of the academy?

With a crackling sound, a subtle and pleasant scent began to tickle my nose.

“Did you wait long?”

“Oh… No. But…”

“…Um?”

It hasn’t changed much from the outfit I saw earlier. There was only one difference, and it was the subtle scent that emanated from her. I’ve never had a scent like this before.

“Now, wait.”

Her nan approached her, and Cecil, wincing at her, took a hesitant step back from her. Then, while she bumped her back against the wall and didn’t know what to do, I looked straight at Cecile and asked,

“Have you applied perfume? That smells nice.”

“That’s right. What. I sprayed a little bit. Is it weird?”

“No. It suits you very well. It looks like a perfume for Cecil.”

“…hahahaha. That’s right. I actually made it before.”

Wow. You know how to make perfume? That’s awesome. What can’t you do?

“Could you make one for Miss Lucy?”

Good. I should bring one as a gift. I asked her proudly, and after looking at me for a moment, she lifted her finger and pressed her nose to mine.

“…Do you bring up other girls on a date?”

“Ah. That’s right. I’m sorry.”

“Hmm. I have to teach them one by one…”

A faint smile crept across Cecile’s lips as she crossed her arms and highlighted her breasts. It’s an expression that seems to be happy for some reason.

“Whoa. It feels like leaving footprints in the white snow. Come on. Let’s go. Time is money.”

“Yes.”

“Rather than that, what are your plans for today?”

“I got this.”

I lifted up the tickets for the play, and Cecile stared at them while laughing.

“The play begins after sunset. Then there is still time until then…”

“Would you like to go to the Magic Engineer Street? There are more fun things than I thought.”

“It is.”

I gently reached out to her. A mischievous smile crept across Cecile’s lips as she stared at it.

“Something? This hand?”

“Shouldn’t you escort me? Anyway, this is kind of like a date.”

“…Mmm.”

Cecile groaned briefly and placed her hand on top of mine. Her white, thin fingers are pretty.

When I held her small, slender hand, I felt a little stiff.

“Are you nervous?”

“Keuheum. It’s my first time too.”

This is unexpected. I thought Cecil would have experienced this many times.

“I was busy. And in the meantime, I had to look at the territory.”

That means he was a workaholic. Should I do this well today?

She headed to the Magic Engineer’s Street with her. It was still crowded with people trying to enchant.

“Cecil. Don’t you enchant?”

“I can do it, but it’s not my specialty. Why?”

“I heard that there are quite a few artifacts in the manor. I thought Cecil did all of them.”

“Something I did, and some I received from helping others. Come to think of it, your sword was also enchanted, right? That… Song.”

“hahahaha. Yes. Ah. I’d like to stop by there as well while I’m here. Is that okay?”

“Sure. Let’s go.”

I went to Steven’s studio with Cecil. Steven, who was still sitting in the fly-raising studio, smiled brightly as soon as he saw me.

“Oh!! Are you here?! Huh? Next to you… Isn’t Cecil the wise man!”

“hahahaha. Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Yes! How are you! I thought I’d make a new artifact and contact you.”

“A new artifact? What is it?”

“This is it.”

What he held out were two in-ears that looked like earplugs. As I looked at it, he said confidently.

“Don’t you want to be immersed in your own world? If you want to have a song and a voice that only you can hear, I recommend this to you! Innovation! Come to the world of revolution!”

“…It’s grandiose. Hmm… Is this something you put in your ear? And… Judging by the flow of magical power, it seems that you can connect it with the enchanted sword.”

As expected, Cecil. The analysis was completed with just one look.

This is why geniuses are amazing. Surprised by Cecil’s reaction, Steven nodded shyly.

“Yes. Uh. Um. Yes. You know that.”

“That’s interesting stuff. Come on.”

Cecile put the in-ear in my hand into one ear. He then sat down on a nearby bench and gestured to me.

“Wouldn’t a world of two be better than a world of one?”
