066 – Shadows Looming Ark #2
Monday lunchtime.
I had a decent meal at a restaurant with Elga.
It was quite strange to see Elga, the Young Lady of a great family, eating a 5,000 coin pork cutlet.
“Ummm….”
In fact, she wasn’t even eating it. Marmar, who was next to her, said.
“If you’re not going to eat, can Marmar have that…?”
The only thing in front of Marmar was a bowl of bean sprout soup that cost only 2,000 coins. Apparently, it was not enough for her.
“If you don’t want to eat, let Marmar have it…!”
Marmar finally brought the pork cutlet placed in front of Elga to her side and started eating it in a hurry. Looking at her, I had some doubts.
“Marmar, I had already given you the meal tickets and 150,000 coins from Conde, why are you not using them?”
“Those need to be saved for emergencies…!”
Well… that seemed to be the case.
“But you need to eat a lot of nutrients to grow your tail back…!”
I looked at the Imp tail wand wrapped around my hand like a bracelet. Who could’ve thought that Marmar would pull her tail off and give it to me?
“This pork cutlet is very imp-friendly and tasty…. The price is also affordable. It’s cheap and delicious….”
Watching Marmar eat a 5,000 won pork cutlet with excitement like it was high-quality beef made me feel quite sorry for her.
Thus, I handed Marmar the two leftover dumplings.
“Eat these too.”
“As expected, comrade has a deep heart…! Giving me food to eat… ! This is an example of how a devotee should be…!”
Was it because of Marmar’s noise? But Elga, who had been in deep thought, suddenly furrowed her brow.
“I can’t concentrate, it’s so damn noisy! Who is this Imp? Why the heII is an Imp here?”
“I am Marmar Marnoi…!”
“Mar— what? Theo, who is she, why is she dining with us?”
Now that I thought about it, this was Elga’s first time meeting Marmar. It was Aira that knew her due to being present back where me and Marmar were together.
However, I was a little worried about how to explain this to Elga.
“She’s… what to call this…? She’s like my intern.”
Elga’s forehead wrinkled further in confusion.
“Your intern?”
“Being an intern is very nice and wonderful…! There is tea time and even monthly leave…! It’s many times better than being a teaching assistant…!”
“… What is she saying now? Anyway, enough of that, where did my food go?”
Elga noticed that the plate in front of her was empty. Then, Marmar replied in a small voice.
“That… Marmar has eaten it….”
“What!? Who ate my food!? Do you want to get a beating!?”
“Hieeek…!”
Marmar trembled at Elga’s growl. Her mouth, which was covered in pork cutlet sauce, screamed similarly to mine.
Since Marmar might actually get bonked to oblivion by Elga if this went on, I decided to intervene.
“But Elga-nim, you said it was okay to eat.”
“… I did?”
“Yes, you just can’t seem to remember it because you were thinking about something else.”
“I did…”
“What was it that got you in such deep thoughts?”
After the lecture, Elga’s mind seemed to have gone somewhere else. Actually, I could tell what Elga was thinking.
It was probably about the undead Lich and the evil necromancer on the city’s outskirts that the cadets were talking about.
“Did what they say bother you that much?”
“What would I be bothered about?”
“Well, that evil necromancer with a high Lich.”
“…….”
Elgar didn’t deny what I said. Then, she glanced around and bowed her head towards me, quietly asking.
“What do you think?”
“Pardon?”
“Mirna Draco, do you think she’s running around the suburbs, digging graves, stealing corpses, and raiding people and turning them into the undead?”
In the past, I would have thought so too.
Among the Ark cadets, there was no other person as famous as the Draco Family’s Young Lady. After all, she was renowned for her necromancy and black magic.
So, if some necromancer wielding a high Lich were to appear…
Wouldn’t people immediately think of the Draco Family’s Young Lady?
However, yesterday, I was invited to the Draco Family’s villa and learned that Mirna Draco was actually afraid of ghosts and skeletons.
And that for that same Mirna Draco to be an evil necromancer?
Impossible!
“It’s not Lady Mirna.”
“Then who is doing this? Who else besides that girl would do that?”
I was speechless at Elga’s question.
It seemed that Elga didn’t know about her twin sister, Narmi Draco.
Of course, neither of the sisters were criminals. At least I thought so.
Unfortunately, other people seemed to have a different opinion.
━Did you hear? Last night, the necromancer attacked the citizens in the outskirts.
━I heard it too. The Draco Family’s seal was found on the fallen.
━Isn’t that necromancer just the Young Lady of the Draco Family? Since she’s a single digit ranker, she can go back and forth between the campus and suburbs at will. Actually, it seems like she’s been going out to the suburbs every night recently.
Rumors were quickly made.
The story of the daughter from a great family on the continent attacking people every night and turning them into the undead passed over everyone’s heads like a hurricane.
━Gold brooch cadets seem to have suffered as well. If the gold brooches who are within the top 100 of the rankings get beaten up, it means that the perpetrator is one of the most talented in Ark.
━Mirna Draco ranks 6th, so it’s quite possible…
The circumstances were perfect for branding Mirna Draco as the evil necromancer.
After all, the Draco’s was a family that held many secrets and carried eerie curses.
But I didn’t like it when the twin sisters, who would painstakingly wait for the sun to rise every morning in that dark mansion, got slandered by fleeting rumors.
Cursing the house of Angmar was the same as blaspheming the Angmar Kingdom.
Cursing the Angmar Kingdom meant that I, the descendant of the Demon King, would someday return it and curse everything that I rightfully control.
“Well, Marmar will be going first. It’s time for Professor Belhawk’s errands…!”
“Okay, see you later.”
I waved to Marmar then likewise got up from my seat.
“Elga-nim, I also have something to do, so I’ll get up first.”
“Sure sure, I have some work to do too…”
