Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 130 Proposal
"I'm going to fly!"

In a three-story house between the hotel and the tavern in Suzuran Town, a flying squirrel girl in a doll costume was also trying to fly. Then, as expected, she failed to land and fell asleep on the spot.
This is a neurological scene that has not changed at all from yesterday.

But maybe it’s because I’ve seen it once, or maybe it’s because there are people around me who have the same sense.

Ritas no longer felt that this town only brought him suffocation and depression. His mentality was also much more stable than before.

"Cadet Cecilia."

"This new adventurer, I don't know what I looked like in your eyes before. But now I am also a new adventurer, Se (short) Xi (long) -"

In the middle of summer, Cecilia and Ritas walked side by side on a street full of adventurers, giving this advice.

"Well, Miss Se (short) Se (long), although I don't know what the rules are for adventurers, but Earls College has a clear rule that if you are a part-time adventurer, you will be expelled."

"Eh? Liar!"

Sai and Xi couldn't help but stop and were obviously shocked.

".It's really a lie."

If there really was such a rule, the "lady" from Yewwood's class would be the first to be kicked out of the academy.

As it turns out, even a top student like Cecilia would not carefully read the thick school rules.

"Mr. Ritas, really~"

Unlike Cecilia who had considered dropping out of school the day before, she patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

"It seems that Miss Ceci can't cut off her status as a student."

Ritas said with a straight face.

"Well, Professor Ritas, since we shouldn't have appeared in this adventurer town, but we met here, this must be fate's guidance! So, let's not talk about those unromantic things. Let's put aside our past identities and work hard to grow as adventurers here!"

For Cecilia, meeting Ritas in Lily of the Valley Town was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

After all, if Ritas still maintained her status as a professor and mentor, and she was still a student, then no matter what she did, the temperature difference and sense of distance would not change at all.

After a night of thinking, she felt that they must insist on their identities as adventurers, otherwise everything would just end up in the same place.

Seeing that Ritas, who had previously exuded a sense of relaxation, seemed to quickly enter an impeccable "teaching mode" after seeing her student, Cecilia naturally tried actively and even impatiently to change Ritas's mind.

"Will fate guide others to stay in the bar before dawn?"

"Well"

Cecilia tilted her head slightly and gritted her teeth at an unknown, enthusiastic and talkative drunk adventurer.

Earlier, when I was talking to Ritas at the bar, an adventurer at the next table said in a loud voice, "Hey, adventure? This girl has been waiting for you since before dawn."

As he said this, the rosacea-nosed adventurer winked at Cecilia, with a smug look as if to say, "I'm bringing you together."

Who needs your chatter?
"Although it is Miss Cece's freedom to become an adventurer, and vacation time is supposed to be for relaxation. But even so, I don't recommend a student to stay in a bar for a long time. What's more, at least in the Holy Kingdom of Libera, sixteen is not the legal drinking age."

Done
Seeing Ritas enter the preaching session, these two words echoed in Cecilia's heart.

"Perhaps, as the designated leader of the elementary department, the pressure you bear is indeed too great, and you need some space to relax."

?

The more Cecilia listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Not just being preached to.

She seemed to be misunderstood as a bad girl who took advantage of the summer vacation to run away to a small town far away from the academy where no one knew her, concealed her age and identity, and drank all day long!

"Ah, no. It's not."

Is it too late to open your mouth now and let Professor Ritas systematically smell whether you have drunk alcohol?

Just when Cecilia was completely thrown off her rhythm by the scene that was completely different from what she had expected, a voice like "heavenly sound" suddenly rang out.

"Hehe, let me tell you, I think I saw Cecilia kissing yesterday. You still don't believe me. I may not be reliable in other areas, but the beautiful girl radar that is deeply imprinted in me will never go wrong!"

".Bath Goddess, have you forgotten that Cecilia can hear you, too?"

Ritas, whose sermon was interrupted, was silent for a moment and then asked in a low voice.

"ah"

I had actually forgotten about this matter, and so I also forgot about maintaining the "holiness" of the bathing goddess in front of Cecilia, and was simply embarrassed.

Ritas, who held his forehead and sincerely wondered if the person who had been talking to him on the other side of the disc was a fish, was in contrast. Cecilia, who seemed to have found a savior, gave the white disc a big hug.

"Lady Bathing Goddess, your appearance seems to have changed a bit compared to before. Um, did you cut your hair?"

"Well, that one is a little close and a little tight."

After a while, Cecilia, holding the white disc in her arms, continued to stroll on the streets of the Adventurer Town with Ritas.

As for Ritas, he felt that there were too many flaws in the conversation between the two and he didn't know where to start.

That's a round plate, how can you tell that the hair was cut? And, rather than saying it was cut, it's more like it got thicker, right?

And the disc over there, you can't feel the touch, right? What's the "tightness" about it?

As for the bathing goddess who usually calls him "darling" or "wife", Ritas is no longer surprised by the fact that once she actually comes into contact with those "beautiful girls", she can only make sounds like a quail with its neck strangled.

"By the way, Lady Bathing Goddess, I never had the chance to thank you."

After a brief conversation, Cecilia's expression became more serious and she spoke slowly.

During the process, Cecilia looked at the professor who did not give her a chance to apologize to the goddess of bathing, and her eyes showed some resentment. However, when she turned to the white disk again, her expression was solemn without any impurities.

"Before, I said I was a believer of the Bathing Goddess, but I never did anything that was consistent with the identity of a believer. I even doubted the Bathing Goddess. But even so, when I was in trouble, the Bathing Goddess did not abandon me and saved me."

"Well, I haven't reached that level. In the end, it all depends on you. I can only make a few weak sounds." The Bathing Goddess replied timidly.

Ritas, who closed his eyes and didn't look at the disc, thought that these words were spoken by Merci, and felt an inexplicable itch in his body.

"Perhaps, the Bathing Goddess has never recognized my status as the first believer, but it will be my honor to hold such a title. And, regardless of whether I am the first or not, I will always be the Bathing Goddess's most loyal believer."

Cecilia once again hugged the small white disc in her arms, which contained infinite warmth.

Perhaps, it was true friendship in times of adversity. Perhaps, it was the contrast with those students from the Chenghui class who seemed to be very close to each other on a daily basis.

At this moment, Cecilia could feel more deeply than ever the pure kindness emanating from the white disc.

"How could you deny it? Okay, I get it."

Suddenly, the goddess of bathing let out a long breath and seemed to have made a decision.
"Let's get married!"

".Um?"

"Um"

"."

Ritas watched this scene silently, not knowing how to describe his current mood.

Come to think of it, the Bathing Goddess seemed happier when she was with Cecilia, Merci, and even Miriam, the "characters" she was familiar with who could hear her voice.

But whenever they discussed leaving the white disc with someone else, the Bathing Goddess would show reluctance or anger.

Ritas could never understand the Bathing Goddess's train of thought. So, for now, let's just continue to treat her as a "goddess".

In the afternoon, a building that was probably the base of the "White Cat Adventure Group" appeared in Ritas's field of vision.

A two-story mansion located on the outskirts of Lily of the Valley Town, originally attached to a church and adjacent to a cemetery.

The mansion, church, and cemetery all looked quite old.

Although the White Cat Adventure Group grew rapidly, it did not have the financial support of Ritas. For the adventure group, which had only been established for a few months, to have a stronghold and mansion was already a remarkable achievement.

Therefore, if the quality of the mansion or the surrounding environment is a bit poor, it can basically be ignored.

"Well, isn't this mansion a little too quiet?"

Looking at the White Cat Adventure Group's base mansion from afar, Cecilia expressed her first impression.

At this time, Cecilia was still the only one beside Ritas, not Hania, the guide.

On this day, Ritas planned to do two things. One was to visit the White Cat Adventure Group, and the other was to find a decent mansion as a base for the future.

After the "chance encounter" with Cecilia, Hania was very "sensible" and took the initiative to volunteer to be responsible for finding the house himself.

Does the Silver Dragon's military advisor really think that he is very good at reading cues and atmosphere?
It turns out that the military advisor is just a title, not a position!

Ritas sighed softly, criticizing Haniya, who left behind a meaningful, profound, and indescribable smile before leaving.

As for why he was unable to say goodbye to Cecilia, it was because Cecilia and the Bathing Goddess were completely "connected" together.

After the farce of the Bathing Goddess's marriage proposal, Cecilia first explained the reason why she appeared in Lily of the Valley Town.

Because of the various connections between the families, Cecilia has a childhood sweetheart who is two years younger than her. She is both a distant relative and a good friend. Her name is Liz Amber. She is the eldest daughter of the Amber Lord family in the vicinity of Lily of the Valley Town.

During the summer vacation, Miss Liz went to visit Cecilia at Earls College. Then, they talked about the unique adventurer town of Suzuran, so they came together to relax.
"Then is it okay for you to leave Miss Ambler behind and act alone?"

For various reasons, Ritas, who didn't want Earls's students to get involved in trouble, tried to persuade them.

"No problem! Liz is the kind of lady who gets very uneasy if she leaves her room for more than three minutes. She was so uneasy yesterday that she ran back to the mansion and got separated from me."

"."

What kind of young lady is that?
Rather, are they really good friends if they go out together on the street and then abandon each other and run back to their mansion?
Ritas didn't think Cecilia was lying, but he was not very familiar with the "friends" industry and couldn't figure out whether this was normal.

Besides, why would a young lady who could only leave her boudoir for three minutes come to the Adventurer's Town, a place like a devil's cave, to relax?

"Mr. Ritas, what kind of commission did you receive that brought you to Lily of the Valley Town?"

After explaining her situation, Cecilia asked Ritas.

"this matter"

"This gentleman must be saying that it has nothing to do with me, right? But you're wrong! Based on my guess, Professor Ritas wouldn't become an adventurer just because of the academy or the students. Apart from anything else, there's almost no connection between them and adventurers. So, I think there must be another reason, such as the 'Bath Goddess Church'!"

After listening to Cecilia's speculation, Ritas wanted to refute it immediately.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

After all, he came to Lily of the Valley Town because of a commission from the Bathing Goddess.

"Since this is the matter of the Bathing Goddess, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye. Bathing Goddess! Believer No. 1 requests to join the operation!"

"Admission approved!!"

It sounded like Cecilia's application had been approved in less than a second. Looking at the white disc, which had become a complete puppet of Cecilia, Ritas knew that it would be impossible to exclude Cecilia and act alone.

Shaking his head helplessly and obeying, Ritas vaguely realized that both he and the Bathing Goddess might lack a sense of crisis.

Because, after all, it was the big white cat that was being chased the day before, not them.

But if the reason why the white cat was being hunted was because of the white blade that merged with the disk, then it was no different from them being targeted.
In short, if the danger really feels unmanageable, it should still be in time for Cecilia to evacuate.

With this thought in mind, Ritas, who had already arrived in front of the old mansion, looked around and did not find the magic bell, so he reached out and gently pushed the door of the mansion.

boom!
".?"

Ritas, really just touched the double doors.

But with a loud bang, the door collapsed, stirring up the surrounding smoke and dust.
