Chapter 257 257 Going on a trip
[Lucy's POV: ]
The talk with the Marciel family proceeded well and we were able to reach a good conclusion back then.
'What they wanted in exchange for becoming our 'family' was pretty simple and very much something we could give them without any great consequence so that discussion ended in a positive outcome.'
Miss Kitty was someone I wanted anyway, so convincing the headmaster to accept her as a very rare 'special' admission was pretty easy.
And, Saint Grandalff wanted to have those otherworlders as close to the association as possible anyway, so getting them an official ID license was not too difficult.
'We wrapped those things up within the next few days, and the fucked up tests also ended yesterday. And I really like those bastards for what they did with us…'
It wasn't only on the first test that they played that kind of trick and got us to answer the questions for them. That shit continued throughout all of the tests that we gave until yesterday.
'It pissess me off how the hell the teachers that are supposed to be the guideline lights of the students would even think of doing something like this to their very own students even though it is technically under the guidelines of this institution.'
It wasn't morally right at all. And, I really did not like that conduct of theirs.
They were teachers so they should act like teachers and not go out of the given borders of this year's syllabus. At least they shouldn't fuck with us and try to get the answers to the things that the world was after with all its might in the current era.
'These people disappointed me greatly with this shitty thing, however, we gave them proper answers that they will remember forever in their lives.'
They wanted us to answer, and we answered to the best of our abilities. Now… if one or two die confirming the authenticity of these answers would not be our fault at all.
'They were the ones to ask those questions so they were supposed to know those answers already.'
Those fucking bastards should know their places and play the teacher's roles as they were supposed to.
Doing this shit only made them a disgrace holding the divine titles of 'teachers'.
"Lucy~! Have you got everything~?"
"Yes, I have. The artifacts, the potions, the safety devices, the storage devices, and the food. I got everything."
"Hehe. Nice."
"Yes, so-"
"Lucy~! Have you got everything~?"
"Hmmm? I just said I did. Or wait… have I forgotten something?"
I don't think so.
Yeah, I have been packing since dawn so I am pretty sure I got everything-
"Right. I almost forgot the knives."
"Hehe, dummy."
I like being over-prepared for any kind of trip we are going on, and having everything for most possible scenarios is far better than having to look around for stuff in crucial situations.
Knives, especially, are very important.
That's why I keep at least a few dozen with me when going out on a week-long trip like this one.
"Alright, got 'em. Let's-"
"Lucy~! Have you got everything~?"
"Now what? I know I got everything this time. I even double-checked! Look at this list!
Clothes, check. Food, check. Tables, check. Elemental stones, check. Artifacts, utensils, blood packs, even canned goods! All of them are checked!"
She had a memory that was perhaps even better than the memories of those who could not forget. And sometimes, it even bests my above-average memorizing capacity!
It is one of her abilities that frustrates me every now and then, and every time I forget something small or big, there is this happy smile on her face.
Which is frustrating!
"I got everything! What more is-"
"Did you pick up your sword from Anna's lab?"
"…my sword is in Anna's lab? Which one?"
[[ Your spare holy sword, master! One had been enchanting it alongside one however one couldn't collect it earlier. Apologies! ]]
We were enchanting the holy sword I got from the headmaster after the entrance exam.
What kind of enchanting did the two of these crazy people put on that already balanced thing?
and why didn't I know anything about this?!
"Hehe, we were just playing around with it last night since we were bored and you were playing with Cary. We had nothing to do, but we ended up having fun with that long-hard holy sword."
"Don't make it sound so disgusting, you little. The other person with you in this context is my Anna."
"I know~."
She really knew how to make anything sound disgusting.
'And this time with my holy sword? At least leave that poor thing alone.'
It was a holy object containing the higher form of the power of light. And the stat boost, the power increase, to even the appearance of that thing we are pretty good enough to use on a daily basis.
But, if they did something to it, I don't know what would have become of that innocent holy sword.
"Anna. Can you please go get that sword?"
[[ Of course master! ]]
-Ooooooooong!
[[ Here, master. It was fun working on this sword~. One assures master will have fun using it even more now~. ]]
"And your dear masters will know it as well when the time comes."
I had only got a glance at the enchanted sword when El took the sword that Anna was holding in her golden beak and put it away in her storage space.
"Oy. That's mine-"
"Now that we have everything, let's goooooo~!"
She had maintained that upset behavior for three whole days and only after I bagged her on my knees with a damn candlelight buffet.
'And since then, she has been overly happy.'
So much so that she has been doing things as she wants since then. And just like right now, I have been dragged around by this damn evil girl.
"Eva~. Friday~."
And she drags me around by not hand but the collar of my shirt which feels even more shitty.
"Hello, El… and Lu. You two seem prepared for this fun trip of yours."
"Hehe, that's right~. We have prepared everything~!"
"You could let go of me now-."
"Where's Cary~?"
I didn't like this treatment, it was nothing less than a punishment. This wasn't the first time she almost choked me by pulling my collar just when I was saying something.
"He's in the garden with his plants. Should I go get him?"
"Friday can do that. You come with me for a minute~."
She dragged me to our living room kitchen area, which was once destroyed by her cute little familiar, a dragon that had found a new hobby of gardening recently after seeing Nes doing it.
"Eva, and Lucy darling…"
"Now you remember I was a human and not your doggy, hun?"
"You Are my doggy. But that's not the point right now. I had been thinking for a while now…"
"Oh no."
She was thinking about something for longer than a moment and I did not know about it until now.
This was no good sign.
"Would it be okay if we bring Kitty with us?"
"No!"
Absolutely not!
"Hmmm? Lu? Why are you-"
"Just say no, Miss Eva! This demess wants to stain the purity of all of the girls on this trip! And that is a fact!"
She cannot do the same with Kitty!
No way in hell I will allow that in the first place!
"What? Really?"
Miss Eva still underestimated her ability to woo the ladies and convince them to get naked in a hot spring.
She was unfairly good at it, and if she was serious, she could even make them do stuff that they wouldn't even do with their eternal lovers.
'And that would also only be just for fun!'
If she was being really serious about something, she could even make a demon lord her slave. And I do mean in her current state as well!
She doesn't even need divinity for something like this!
'And she certainly doesn't need anything to make some young ladies do something unethical or morally wrong!'
They wouldn't even know what they are doing until they are doing it since her charm is that kind of crazy thing, and everyone is on one side, I don't want her to stain that one person at the very least!
"You know how important it is-"
"Kekekeke-hahahaha! End~. This bastard fell for the joke~."
"Hmmm?"
She was laughing now?
How can she laugh in a situation like this?!
"Jeez Lucy. I was just joking. Joking~. Who do you take me for? A horny slut that wants to have a piece of everything?"
Of course?
But saying or even thinking it will ruin my entire experience of this trip so no thanks.
"Of course not, dummy. But why do you want her to come with us?"
"I don't, though. I said I was just joking."
"You and I both know that was no joke. As well as why you would want her to even come with us in the first place."
"Just shut the fuck up like you did just now. Bastard."
She glared at me with another upset look… and I freaking knew she would act petty once again if I don't stop now.
So I just sealed my mouth shut.
"So, Eva…"
She talked with Miss Eva and I just listened.
Friday came back with Cary on his head, and she was still talking about some stuff regarding her house of Spades that had nothing to do with this trip of ours, and they continued talking until it was almost time for us to depart and reach the agreed location.
[ "That's enough, El. Let's go now." ]
[ "I told you to shut up. Why the hell is my dog barking?" ]
[ "Do you wanna hear curses from my mouth or something? Why are you acting like this?!" ]
I know she is totally doing this on purpose!
"Bastard. Not everything I do is for you. I have other things I need as well. Things like your curses, yes, but not right now.
I only want to get outta here, get to the front gates, meet up with everyone, and leave for the north. This is going to be a fun week so please don't ruin it!"
"Of course! Why would I ruin it?! you are the one that ruins everything!"
"The hell?! You are the reason things go south!"
"How the hell…?! Just shut up you b-…"
I was going to curse her, but then I saw a glimmer in her eyes and stopped.
"Say it."
I knew it!
"Say it or else I am calling Kitty."
"No, you bitch! Why are you doing this to me?! Can't we just go now?! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Everything, hehe. Everything is wrong with me, darling."
She gave me a kiss just when I was about to shout at her again…
"And you will have to live with it~."
I was angry at her now.
"Then we will see you soon everyone~. Please take care of everything and call us when you need our assistance with anything~."
We left the dorms and appeared in the open area in the summer garden which was pretty cool in this early morning hour. The fresh and good atmosphere that would bring peace to anyone…
But I was angry at her.
"Hello El~. Brother Lucy~. You came early as well~? I knew you would~!"
Nes came. But I was still angry, and she didn't need long to figure that much out.
"Hello everyone… hmmm? Why is he like this?"
"He's a little angry. Please leave him be for now."
Everyone who was going to join us on this trip came, and I was still angry.
She did something unacceptable again, and I don't like this feeling!
'The others knew something was wrong with me today, and from her overly cheerful look, they knew she was the reason for that as well.'
They knew it was a lover's dream so they made no comment on it… until the moment our ride that was supposed to take us to the designated island in the northern sea arrived, and they couldn't stay silent anymore.
