Chapter 15 Members of the Branch of Disaster

*Genesis 6186, September 14, 9:16.54 PM, Holy College

This happened two days after Angelique challenged Ella.

Although the Holy Academy is named after an academy, it actually has surprisingly few restrictions on its students. The most prominent example is the school hours - which are only from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with two hours of free time in between. Therefore, students usually choose to join organizations such as the "Magic Engineering Research Department" and the "Magic Specialization Department" to improve their own abilities. Of course, there are also clubs such as "Tea Ceremony" and "Flower Arrangement" that can cultivate one's temperament.

It is worth mentioning that Ella was previously in the "Homecoming Club", which means she did not join any club and went home directly. Now she belongs to the "Branch of Disaster" organization that helps other students solve problems.

"So why did you agree to this name? If we use such an ominous-sounding name, will anyone really come to us to solve the problem?"

"Wasn't that the name Ella-chan also picked? I think it sounds pretty powerful, like a villain."

"Ms. Angelina has no resistance to these things."

"Well, let's not talk about this for now. Ella-chan, please take the letter out of the box."

This was the activity room specially prepared by the academy for the Branch of Disaster. Because it was an organization that was highly regarded, it was specially arranged on the top floor of the academy's No. 1 teaching area. It was a hall consisting of several small rooms. However, there were only five members now, even including the instructor Camisia, so everyone only used one of the rooms as an activity area.

Because it was recently opened, the room only has a long conference table and a few armchairs. Large and small cardboard boxes used to store decorations are piled everywhere. Although the bookshelves are clean, there is nothing special about them.

Walking through the somewhat crowded corridor, Ella picked up a small square cardboard box from the door. The box contained notes that the students had sent in over the past few days, expressing their worries and concerns. In fact, they were just talking about some difficulties in life or some hidden dangers in the academy.

Placing the completely weightless cardboard box on the table, Ella took out a small stack of letters from the bottom of the box. Under the gaze of everyone, she took out one and read out the contents.

"Well, first of all, I want to know Iris-senpai's measurements—"

“Pfft—cough cough cough.”

Angelica, who had just picked up the water cup, almost sprayed the juice in it onto Ella who was sitting opposite her.

"Ahem, discussing troubles, that doesn't even count, right? Sexual harassment? Well, to some extent, Iris-senpai is indeed very popular."

"Ella-chan, is there a return address on it?"

Elise didn't seem angry at all.

Perhaps Iris was already used to it—thinking so, Eira turned the note over to look for the address—but Iris's next words overturned Eira's thoughts.

"If there are any, we'll need to catch them and give them special 'training'."

A hint of sadism seemed to flash in Iris's green eyes.

This kind of behavior often means that Iris is about to do something bad.

Thinking of this, Ella swallowed quietly and stuffed the words she was about to say into her stomach.

"No, I didn't write it."

"Well, it's strange that you could write. This is probably just a simple harassment. Ella-chan, you should just move on to the next one."

"Hmm... Yeah, but I'll leave this task to you, Angeline."

What Ella didn't say was that the letter actually had a return address written on it very honestly. But looking at Iris's expression, Ella was really worried that if she told it out, Iris would strip that sexual harasser down to his pants and hang him at the academy gate for public display. If that developed, even if that person returned to his family, he would probably be kicked out. After all, those who could study at the Holy Academy were usually children of nobles, and nobles were a species that valued face more than life.

In fact, Ella had something even more worrying.

That is because Iris is too popular in the academy. If her fanatical fans knew about this, it would not just be hanging on the gate for public display - it would probably be an incident that would leave a shadow on her life.

Ella handed the stack of letters to Angelica who was sitting opposite her. Because her arms were not long enough, Ella had to stand up and bend over to hand the things to Angelica.

Ever since the duel ended two days ago, and after signing a contract not to tell anyone about the Death God, as Angela had wished, she'd regained her spirits, as if she'd completely forgotten about the duel. Furthermore, since joining her team, Angela had become even more attached to him, even asking, "It's so lonely sleeping alone! Ella-chan, let me go to your place!"

Subconsciously, I felt that if Angelique went there, she would definitely make a fuss every night, so I decisively refused. But in return, Angelique looked at me pitifully with her big watery eyes and said to me, "Even sleeping on the floor is fine, please!"

The final outcome was that Angeline was picked up by Camisia and thrown back to her room.

Angelini took the letter and after taking a look at it, her eyes became strange, as if she wanted to laugh but was holding it back.

"What's wrong?"

This time, it was Lotte, who was sitting next to Ella, who asked the question.

"Hahaha, this time it's about Ella-chan, hahaha, you actually have such questions, are you really not afraid of death, hahaha."

"Me? What does it say?"

Although I already had a rough answer in my mind, I still couldn't help but ask.

Angelique laughed for quite a while before stopping and answering in a tone that was filled with laughter.

"It says on it, it says 'What's your type, Ella? Do you have a boyfriend?'"

"ha?"

Strangely, Ella was the only one who reacted to this. The others, including Camisia who had remained silent, all turned their gazes to Ella.

Feeling a little overwhelmed by this strange atmosphere, Ella stood up and then sat back down awkwardly.

"W-What? With that look on your face, it's impossible for you to have a boyfriend, right?!"

Not to mention that her current body shape is still that of a lolita with secondary sexual characteristics not yet developed. Even if she had grown to the same level as Camisia, she would not have such thoughts. In any case, this is too... It makes her feel a little sick just thinking about it.

And Camisia's reaction was a bit strange. Normally, Camisia should have dragged the giant sword to find the sexual harasser.

"K-Camisia? Why are you like this too?"

"Hmm... Regarding what Dean said about a partner last time, I've also thought about it. Princess-sama is now at the age where she should be engaged, so I wanted to understand her preferences so that I can narrow down the list of suitable candidates. Although I personally want you to stay the way you are now, I can't decide these things on my own. Is that what you feel, Princess-sama?"

Camisia clenched her fist and placed it under her lips, looking quite serious.

"No, no, no, I haven't considered this at all. You're thinking too much, Camisia. Let's talk about the partner thing later. Besides..."

After all, my appearance has remained the same since I came into this world. Even after more than a year, it hasn't changed at all. It's as if time has been frozen at the age of twelve or thirteen...

"And? I also want to know what type Ella-chan likes."

"Understanding the master's hobbies is also part of a maid's training... If Miss Ella mentioned it, I will try to work towards that as well."

Even Lotte looked like she wasn't joking at all.

Ella quickly waved to Lotte.

"Ugh, Lotte, there's no need to change. I like the way you are now!"

"Like? Is... is that so..."

Lotte's face flushed slightly, but Ella didn't have time to care about it, because Iris, who was sitting at the top, had come to her side without her knowing when. She even began to feel Iris's deliberately exhaled breath brushing against her ears.

"Oh, so Aira-chan doesn't like me?"

She reached out her hand and tried to push Iris away, but Iris had already changed her plan before Ella could act. She walked behind Ella and pressed something soft on her chest against the back of Ella's head.

"It's very hot, Iris."

"So, what kind of person do you like, Aira-chan? I won't leave unless you tell me, okay?"

"I have a feeling... that Ella-chan is caught up in something awful..."

Of all the people present, perhaps only Angelica, who usually seemed the most noisy, was the calmest one - before Ella thought of looking for the culprit, she tore up the note that had caused the trouble and had the return address attached, and then pretended nothing had happened and drank the juice on the table.

"Hmm—I think plum kelp tea tastes better."

Chapter 16: News of the Seal of Original Sin

*创世纪6186年9月15日上午10：10分 至圣学院 地下藏书馆

"Ah~ah, I actually have to waste my day off here, Kukuku, I feel a little unwilling."

"That's what Ms. Ella said about investigating the Seal of Original Sin."

"That being said, it's still a hassle to actually do it."

Today was the day I was scheduled to go to the underground library to look for information about the Seal of Original Sin. Although theoretically I could switch to my strongest state to deal with it even if the Seal of Original Sin appeared, I wasn't sure if the Seal of Original Sin in this world would mutate, so investigation was a must. Besides, I hadn't learned to use offensive magic freely yet.

Judging from the information currently available, the Seal of Original Sin may be different from the "F.Wing". It is not an item-like existence, but a life form with intelligence - no, it may be like the high-level intelligent item on Menia's head, existing in the form of an intelligent item.

This is all information obtained from the Lava Lord. The Lava Lord once said that he had a conversation with "Pride", so it should be considered that the Mark of Original Sin may exist independently.

In theory, he should have gone to ask the Lava Lord immediately, but because he had gone to the Demon Tribe before, the progress was delayed.

Then go ask the Lava Lord.

Thinking this, Ella finally walked down the spiral corridor and came to a huge double door.

Unlike the dimly lit corridors before, this place was bright and spacious, completely different from a basement. The decor, dominated by a bronze hue, felt quite solemn, and the ceiling was a gentle dome—reminding Ella of the European-style art galleries she'd seen in documentaries.

Feeling a surge of magical energy sweep through her, Ella didn't react much, having been warned by the guards before. Since she had joined the academy's "Branch of Disaster," she already had access to the underground library, so this kind of identity check wouldn't cause her any trouble.

In this way, the fact that such a precious place can be freely entered by people unknown to the academy is probably due to the trust in Iris's choice. The academy giving the right of choice to Iris should be a proof that they trust Iris very much.

Ella couldn't help but look at Iris who was traveling with her. Surprisingly, Iris didn't tease her along the way, but instead carried out her task of leading the way very honestly.

Perhaps because her observation was too obvious, Iris soon discovered that Ella was looking at her.

"This is just a normal identity check. Although the process is indeed troublesome, it is necessary considering the importance of the books inside."

"Uh-huh."

The authority check was quickly completed because of the black card in his hand. With the sound of metallic clicking, the giant double doors that were ten meters high slowly opened with a heavy sound.

What caught her eye looked more like an art gallery than a library. It had the same bronze decor as the outside, and the floors and bookshelves were also decorated in countless ways - so exquisitely that Ella felt the books on the shelves were merely decorative items in the room.

The dust-free floor was carved with beautiful wooden patterns.

The entire library is divided into two floors - not a two-story building like a building, but a two-story building with high ceilings and protruding platforms at high places, like a protruding balcony.

Was it really a library? Even in a different world, it was remarkably quiet. While Ella and the other two weren't the only ones there, the other special instructors reading books didn't make any extra noise either. The only sound in the entire library was the gentle rustling of paper books.

Because she had been told in advance outside where the books about the Demon War period were located, Ella began to look for them according to the direction she remembered - probably near the bottom three rows of bookshelves on the right.

Ella quickly passed through the bookshelves filled with countless books and arrived in front of her target.

Unlike other places where magic books are placed, this place looks unusually deserted, but because it is cleaned frequently, there is no dust or anything like that left.

As if buying sweets in a shopping street, Ella grabbed a handful of books from the shelf and moved them to the table and chairs nearby. Lotte repeated the same action, but Iris seemed to be very selective in choosing a few books. Ella had told Iris in advance that she wanted to investigate the Seal of Original Sin, but the reason she gave was "out of interest" rather than "just in case."

Iris took out a small silver ball from her bracelet and placed it on the table. A layer of transparent magic shield enclosed the three of them. This was a "soundproof barrier" used to isolate them from detection.

Looking at the pile of books in front of her, Iris looked at Ella with lack of interest.

"Is this really just Aira-chan's interest? It should be for some other purpose, right? I've never heard of anything that could make Aira-chan wake up so early on a weekend."

"It's really just a hobby. Is there any other reason?"

"Hmm—like, you want to unify the world like the previous Demon King did? As a Demon King's daughter, even if you lose your memories, your heart won't change, right?"

Although her words sounded like she was questioning Ella, Iris's expression actually looked more like a mockery - the lazy Demon Queen actually wanted to work hard one day.

It’s a pity that Ella didn’t understand.

"That's not the intention at all. Besides, Iris is more of a person who wants to conquer the world, like capture all the beautiful girls in the world."

"Hey, that seems like a good idea. Let's bring it up as a proposal at the next meeting."

"I'll be the first to resist then, right?"

"That makes me want to try it even more. Ella-chan, struggling so hard, looks delicious."

"Oh, this is terrible. I'm going to be eaten by Elise-nee."

Ella's emotionless reading made Iris a little unhappy, and she frowned slightly.

"Hey, Ella-chan, isn't she being a little too casual lately? She wasn't like this before."

"That level of stimulation comes every day. Even I have it—ah, it's nothing."

Ella stuffed the words she was about to say back into her throat and chose to turn her attention to the book.

——If I said, "Even I would develop resistance," the consequence would most likely be that Iris would attack more actively, and this was the only outcome I didn't want to see.

At this time, the importance of Ella bringing Lotte out became apparent, and Lotte successfully changed the topic to another side.

"Hmm—Elise-sama, do you know why the Demon King, who possessed the seven seals of sin, chose to conquer the world? Was it simply a personal desire, or was there something else at work? Perhaps he was bewitched by the seals of sin—"

"That? That shouldn't be possible. The seven seals of sin represent the six elements, including light and darkness, and special summoning magic. Magic like charm and mind control aren't represented by the seal of sin, right?"
