My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 40 Don’t do this kind of thing!
At the college admissions office, Fram walked out with Kalia.

Everything went very smoothly. For Fram's sake, the dean was happy to give face to this old professor in every sense of the word.

But the necessary procedures still had to be followed, and the academy held a brief practical assessment for Kalia alone.

If the person standing here at this moment was Kalia, who had not experienced the Riskan incident, she might not have been able to pass the assessment so smoothly.

Kalia, who had experienced life-and-death battles, seemed to be at ease when facing the academy's assessment.

She didn't even need to summon the shadow beast; she easily defeated the fourth-ring assistant instructor in charge of the assessment head-on.

After all, this guy who grew up in an ivory tower like an academy, no matter how hard she tried, could not be as scary as the two Chaos Apostles who had been chasing her for half a month.

It won't be as difficult to deal with that guy named Parker.

It was obvious that the dean was very satisfied with Kalia's performance and expressed his belief that since Kalia was so good at actual combat, she would definitely be able to keep up with the academy's courses.

So he took the opportunity to do Fram a favor and handled all the admission procedures on the spot.

Of course, Kalia felt that even if she failed to pass the assessment, this fat old man with a big white beard would probably find another way to explain it and let her join the academy.

"The formalities are all done. Come with me to get your student ID. After that, I'll take you to the dormitory."

"Ah."

Fram was a little surprised by Kalia's indifferent reaction.

She turned to look at Kalia, who was staring at the admissions office door thoughtfully, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering...according to the time, Roland should have completed the admission procedures by now, right? Why haven't I seen him?"

"Maybe he encountered something on the way, or maybe he just went to eat."

Fram analyzed: "The station and the college are both in the east of the city. Although there is some distance between them, even if we walk here, we should arrive by now."

"Something must have happened...ah, I almost forgot."

Fram suddenly remembered that she saw Princess Iluvia at the station.

It was because I found it troublesome to deal with her that I chose to take Kalia away early.

But she forgot one thing.

Roland seemed to be the so-called "that guy" that Iluvia mentioned to her at that time.

Fram looked at Kalia with a hint of guilt on his face and said, "I'm sorry."

"Ah, ah? What are you doing?"

Kalia was obviously confused by Fram's sudden apology.

"Liya. Do you like Roland?"

"W-what, what, what! I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I didn't think so!"

Fram looked at Kalia, who had lost her composure and started babbling nonsense to make excuses for herself, and muttered silently: "Ah, so it is."

But Kalia had no intention of stopping, and kept uttering some meaningless words.

Such as "Caring is not love, can it be considered love if friends care about each other?"

And "First we need to define what 'like' means."

Then came the words that were difficult to understand, like "pure friendship" and "just friends".

It made Fram want to laugh.

"Stop, Leah. Stop." Fram suppressed his laughter and asked Kalia to stop.

This guy is so easy to understand.

When she thought of this, Fram suddenly stopped being happy.

It seems that he has let down his good disciple.

"Liya, if Roland suddenly had a partner one day, and that partner wasn't you, what would you think?"

"Gah!"

Kalia froze in place, briefly losing the ability to think.

Obviously she had never thought about the possibility that Fram mentioned.

"B-but he promised me! He wants to be my friend forever!"

Kalia clenched her fists excitedly, leaned forward, and put her face in front of Fram, trying to prove that such a thing could not happen.

"They're just friends, right? Does that stop him from finding another partner?" "Gah!!!"

"B-but besides me, there aren't any other girls around him that he knows, right?"

Kalia hasn't given up hope yet.

"Who said that?" Fram tilted her head: "Even if he doesn't have it now, what about in the future?"

"There are quite a few female students in the academy. Even in terms of looks, you don't have an absolute advantage."

"Not to mention he does have female friends besides you, and I know them."

boom!
Kalia, declared silence.

Fram's honest words exposed all of Kalia's excuses.

Seeing that his blow was almost enough to make Kalia give up her fantasy, Fram stood on tiptoe, tried his best to put his hand on Kalia's shoulder, and patted her.

"So, Leah, hurry up and express your feelings!"

“If you hesitate, you will lose!”

"If you don't express your feelings quickly, someone else will get there first!"

……

At the same time, outside the Royal Capital Central Park.

The original black luxury carriage had now turned into a pile of smoldering ashes.

The unfortunate coachman lay dead on the side of the road. The place where his head should have been was now empty, with only a pool of blood on the ground.

In a house that had been reduced to ruins, Roland looked at the silent Iluvia and said, "I take back my previous sympathy for you."

"Every time I'm with you, I always run into unnecessary trouble."

"Feel sorry……"

"Forget it, forget it. It's just my bad luck." Roland sighed and said, "Let's leave here first."

Roland sheathed his sword and reached out to Iluvia, who was sitting on the ground, trying to pull her up.

But Iluvia did not hold Roland's outstretched hand, but stood up with her own hands.

Seeing this, Roland also put his hands on his waist and started to tease, "You are quite calm. Anyway, won't you tell me who the enemy is?"

"If I, a guy specialized in close combat, hadn't been by your side this time, the assassin would have succeeded."

Roland pointed at the assassin who had turned into a skeleton in the ruins of the carriage.

"Before your spell fully takes effect, his dagger, stained with alchemical poison, will definitely pierce your skin."

Roland took out the captured dagger. The blade, which should have been shiny and bright, now exuded a faint green color.

As he spoke, he picked up the dagger and lightly scratched the wall. Suddenly, a black knife mark caused by corrosion appeared on the brick and stone wall.

Iluvia lowered her head, showing no desire to talk. She apologized again, "I'm sorry... for dragging you into this again."

"If I had known... I wouldn't have come to see you."

"That way you wouldn't be like this now..."

As she spoke, Iluvia raised her head and gave Roland a smile that was barely better than tears.

Even his speech was intermittent.

Roland silently put the dagger into the scabbard at his waist that was originally used to hold the Forbidden Magic Stone Knife, and then changed the subject: "This dagger belongs to me now. It can be considered my trophy."

"For its sake, I'll just pretend nothing happened today. After all, it's not every day that someone rushes to deliver equipment."

"...Yeah." Iluvia nodded with a forced smile.

But this time, there was a hint of crying in the syllables she uttered.

Roland looked at Iluvia, who was pretending to be happy. Suddenly, for a moment, he felt that this girl was not much more difficult to understand than Kalia.
