Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 165 Grand Finale
"So, do I need to call you Lady Bathing Goddess?"

In a spacious room that symbolizes the family's status to some extent, Misli Latras slowly put down the teacup and spoke to the white plate.

On the other side of the white disc, the Bathing Goddess was still in a panic and naturally did not respond immediately.

Although she had found a perfect and natural (she thought) time to go offline for a while, she never expected that these "monsters" would still be waiting for her at her birth point.

This is how to do?
Go take a shower again. No matter how you think about it, it's a bit weird.
"I don't mind what you call me, but it seems that 'Bath Goddess' is more familiar to you, so I will allow you to do so."

Bathing goddess, just responded.

"Haha. As you wish."

And Misley let out a light laugh and said with her hands covering her mouth.

Her voice had no effect on the Bathing Goddess, but it made Miriam on the opposite side feel as if someone was tickling her chest with a finger.

Hearing that Misli actually responded, the Bathing Goddess realized that Ritas's judgment was correct again.

During the period of preparation for the "Family Banquet", Ritas and the Bath Goddess were both speculating about who the Latras family or the "People of the Stars" had sent into the Bath Goddess Church.

And through Platina Latras's initiative to come to the door a few days ago, Ritas roughly understood the scope of the "Star People"'s attitude towards the Bathing Goddess Church.

At least, it won’t be “contempt”.

Therefore, Ritas began to suspect that there might be a member of a very high status in the Latras family who personally joined the Church of the Bath Goddess to conduct an investigation.

Ritas and the Bathing Goddess naturally knew that their church was a straw platform among straw platforms.

But how does it look in the eyes of others?
The church was decorated with unnecessary splendor, as if refusing others to join the general doctrine, the goddess who made people doubt "Does such a god really exist?" just by listening to her, and the manager who had no style of church staff at all, and could even be said to be the exact opposite.

Combined with what Ritas had done before when he was bluffing.

Ritas and others feel that the "People of the Stars" are extremely mysterious and cannot be underestimated. They need to be investigated carefully. At the same time, the People of the Stars probably have the same attitude towards the "Church of the Bath Goddess".

So, the next question is which member of the Latras family joined the Church of the Bath Goddess.

As for the Bathing Goddess, it was not clear how Ritas made the final judgment. Was it based on whether Misri reacted to the Bathing Goddess' voice during the brief time she appeared on the stage, or was it a process of elimination to eliminate other suspects, or some other method.

But at least judging from the results, when Ritas handed the white disc to Miriam, he already had a clear answer.

"So, Lady Bathing Goddess wants to personally discuss our cooperation today?"

Misli asked again, and without waiting for the Bathing Goddess to answer, she looked at Miriam.
"Before that, do we need to ask Mr. Miriam to leave?"

Miriam, whose name was called, was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of relief.

Miriam, who was inexplicably dragged into such an occasion, or in other words, inexplicably tied to this "family banquet", had long wanted to leave this room and this mansion.

From the first second the banquet started, Miriam had an uneasy feeling.

"Hmm."

The Bathing Goddess pondered for a moment.

It was still those words. For Ritas and the Bathing Goddess, they knew clearly that there was very little that the white disc could do and it was basically "harmless to humans and animals."

But in Misli's opinion, the white disc undoubtedly possessed magical powers and hosted strange things. Therefore, it took courage to be alone with the white disc.

This is a way for Misli to show her sincerity, but showing this sincerity to the goddess of bathing is not much different from winking at a blind man.

The reason why the goddess of bathing hesitated is because she was thinking
Otherwise, just go for it!

After all, even Ritas wasn't afraid to leave her alone with Misli, so why should she worry about it?
Even if she messed up and caused a "big fire", the fire would not affect her. Moreover, with Ritas there to back her up, no matter how bad it got, it would not be so bad that she would be "dead".

Thinking of this, the Bathing Goddess seemed to have returned to her normal state of mind, except that she no longer used her previous tone and shrill voice.

"That's not necessary."

Eh--?
Miriam, who was about to stand up, sat back down with a gloomy look on her face.

"As for cooperation, that is a matter between you and Ritas. The church itself is just a place that was established without permission to gather my believers together. In other words, it has nothing to do with my will."

"That"

What on earth are you here for?

As the "second daughter" of a large merchant family, Misley would not be rude enough to ask such a straightforward question about the existence that might actually be a god.

"But this does not mean that I do not recognize believers who are willing to worship me. Since you are willing to pursue the faint light I emit in the sea of suffering called the mortal world, then I naturally want to see the faces of you 'light chasers'."

As she spoke, the Bathing Goddess suddenly had an idea and began to move her perspective.

She remembered that now the disc not only had a much wider field of view, but also had the ability to penetrate walls.

So, if it's a mask, it might be a little difficult, but if it's a veil that's a little distance away from the face.
The gaze that no one could notice passed through the veil and almost looked up at the face that Misli Latras had to cover.

Then, the bathing goddess finally saw it clearly as she wished, and almost exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.

There really is a secret on Misley's face!
"Also, even if it is not my intention, I will still be tolerant and treat my believers equally. I will also bless them."

The Bathing Goddess continued to speak in a mysterious voice, and then forced herself to control her voice to remain steady.
"Together with the 'brand' they bear."

When mentioning the word "brand", Misley's hands, which were folded on her legs, were clearly clenched.

"Bath Goddess"

"If it's not necessary, you don't need to use a honorific title for me. In exchange, um. Miriam is here too. How about I just call you 'Li' from now on?"

After accidentally catching Misley's "handle", the Bathing Goddess tended to become complacent.

Miriam, who was called upon, had no idea what the other two were talking about. The abbreviation proposed by the Bathing Goddess was also strange. Although it was indeed a part of Misli, it should not be normal to only take out that part.

Misley actually adjusted her mindset in an instant. However, she showed signs of hesitation, which was an indelible fact. When the word "brand" was mentioned, she was still doubtful, but when the goddess of bathing gave the abbreviation, everything became certain.

It's almost a one-on-one situation, and that's what's scary about it.

Since every move seems to be magnified unconsciously, for those who are paying attention, even something as simple as a change in breathing rhythm can be captured as information.

In the past, Misley was the one who was particularly perceptive in such situations. But facing a white disc that only made sounds
".As you wish."

Perhaps she realized that she could not regain the initiative in this conversation. Also, she was a little worried that the goddess of bathing would continue to touch on the previous topic, so she responded with a light breath.

When a person has the thought "After all, she is a goddess, so there is nothing I can do", it also means that she has already determined in her heart that the one she is facing is a real "god".

"It's already late, but we probably won't have many opportunities to get together like this in the future. So, since you don't look sleepy, let's have a tea party."

When Misli confirmed that the Bathing Goddess was a god, the Bathing Goddess, who also confirmed Misli's identity as a "beautiful girl", said excitedly.

Late at night.

The rainstorm that came and went quickly gradually subsided. Misley's housekeeper led Ritas into the room where the tea party was being held.

"Oh? You encountered so many things in just one month's vacation? You seem to be actively involved in various events, Miriam."

"Li, besides the interesting things you experienced in the academy, did you encounter anything worth mentioning on your way to Spring City?"

"professor!"

Seeing Ritas come in, Miriam, with a look on her face as if she had finally found a life-saving straw, jumped up from the sofa.

After Ritas nodded to Miriam, he turned his gaze to Misli.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Ritas always feels that behind that layer of black veil, Misley has the same “saved” expression.

"This is the first time we have officially met. I have long heard of your name, Professor Ritas Elson."

Misli's lips, which used to be so beautiful and tender, now looked a little dry.

Could it be that the housekeepers of this mansion don't even know how to make tea?

Looking at the teapot and teacups that had long been empty, Ritas was a little confused.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Misli Latras."

Ritas said this, using simple body movements to ask if he could take the white disc away.

Both Misley and Miriam kept making the "please" gesture.

"It's already very late, Bathing Goddess."

Facing the goddess who seemed to be still enjoying the bath, Ritas paused after reminding her.
"However, since everyone is so excited, I won't interrupt you. How about..."

"Tomorrow, I have urgent matters today!" "Sorry, my health has not been very good, and I am a little unwell now."

Miriam and Misli said quickly.

So, what did the Bath Goddess do to them?
While Ritas was confused, the Bathing Goddess found it a little funny.

It was because Ritas was usually serious that it was wrong for her to be naughty occasionally! This person seemed to be using her to be naughty!
"What a pity. In that case, we will take our leave for now."

Holding the disc in his hands with exceptional ease, Ritas took Miriam with him and said some farewell words together.

The reason why he brought Miriam with him was that Miriam seemed to want to leave. However, Ritas didn't want to take the risk.

"I will look forward to your next visit while Professor Elson is staying in Spring City."

Before leaving, Misli said this to Ritas.

Ritas stared at the white disk in his hand for a while before responding.

"I'll visit you again someday."

After Ritas and Miriam disappeared completely from the Latras mansion, Misley asked the butler to refill the teapot and began to drink the special dark black tea again.

"What a strange goddess"

However, perhaps the real God is just that kind of feeling. After all, I have never seen any other Gods so far.

Mumbling to herself and thinking, Misley's hand slowly touched the right side of her face where the "brand" existed.

"Will this 'brand' also be blessed?"

It seemed that the sudden severe pain made Misley tilt her body and curl up.

The delicate teacup was crushed by Misley without her noticing, and the broken pieces of the teacup scratched her palms through her gloves.

"I hope that's not a perfunctory or false statement. Otherwise, even God will..."

As if in the darkness spreading from Misri's body, the girl gently licked the blood oozing from her palm and murmured like in a dream.

"Summer vacation, there are only a few days left." (So, be honest for a few days and don't cause any more trouble.)
"I know, Professor." (So, hurry up and deal with things in the last minute!)
Under the night sky, after a few words of conversation that were merely greetings, Ritas and Miriam parted ways at the crossroads.

Seeing the two of them both seeming to have something to say but hesitating and not saying it out loud, Goddess Yu always felt that the atmosphere between this teacher and student was weird.

It can only be said that for new instructors who already have a hard time maintaining a good distance with their students, it is too difficult to share a dormitory with them without causing chaos.

When Miriam's figure disappeared into the night, the bathing goddess, who had been enduring for most of the day, finally complained in her natural shrill voice.

“Too slow! Really too slow! You left me alone with Michelle for so long! Do you think it takes so long to deal with a ‘Qi Cai’?!”

Although in terms of the result, the Bathing Goddess felt that she had done a good job, and she talked Misley so hard that she felt dizzy and dizzy. But even so, she still couldn't forget the uneasiness when she was taken alone to see the "BOSS".

"It didn't take long to deal with 'Abandoned', but when I returned to the Latras mansion, I met Sylvie again and talked to her."

“So it took a long time to enlighten Sylvie?”

Although the Bathing Goddess still questioned, her tone was obviously much softer.

"Enlightenment? I don't think so. Anyway, it didn't take too long to talk to Sylvie. However, we had this conversation in a moving carriage. After I finished my sermon, I got off the carriage to avoid a bad atmosphere and to leave a cool impression on the students."

"Get off the car?"

"As a result, I found that the place where I got off was Xicheng District."

"Hello!"

The Ratras Mansion is located in the East City District, so the West City District can be said to be on the other side of Spring City.

However, he was thrown into Xicheng District because of his coolness. The goddess of bathing didn't know whether it was because Ritas sometimes accidentally did something prankish, or whether the professor occasionally showed his sense of humor, which was not much, but it was indeed there.

"Oh, besides that, I also met the 'horse', the 'cat', the 'pigeon' and the 'tin man'."

"ha?"

For a moment, looking at the obvious water marks around, the Bathing Goddess suspected that Ritas had been caught in the rain and started to have a fever.

"To be exact, there's a white horse with a horn, a black cat wearing shoes, a pigeon wearing a monocle, and the Tin Man."

The Bathing Goddess could feel that Ritas' tone was also complicated when he described these things.

"I have become a member of the 'Third Market Development Group' of the 'Grand Ending Company' under the 'Dark Descent' organization."

“Eh——!?”

Amid the Bathing Goddess's unreserved exclamation, Ritas took out the "Blood Moon Mark" from his arms.

There were originally only two blood marks left, but now there were four, each one sandwiched between the four fingers of Ritas' right hand.
