25 – New Friend

Academy Dormitory.

I didn’t expect it, but it was a great place. Just looking at it makes my heart swell like a balloon.

“This is my room.”

Sierra was startled to see her own room. She was much larger than the room in John’s house.

The dormitory room consisted of a living room, a private room, and a bathroom. There are a total of 2 private rooms. Because this is a double room.

Except for the private dormitories given to the senior, second, and third seats, the academy dormitories are basically shared rooms. Since the dormitory was built so luxuriously, the evaluation of the students is very good even if it is a shared room.

The furniture is shiny and high-quality, and the cool view through the window is great. The warehouse room had no view at all.

Of course, I’m not saying I like this more than the storage room. There could be no better room than the one John gave. At least for Sierra.

“Didn’t I say that the academy dormitory is for two people in one room? My roommate is….”

“I am right away!”

“Hey!”

Sierra screamed and slammed her butt as a blonde girl suddenly appeared from behind.

A blonde girl with her arms raised like her tiger and in a ‘gyaoot!’ Pose.

She was a face I had never seen before.

“Ah! She didn’t mean to startle her like that…. No, I was ready to surprise you, but I didn’t expect you to be that surprised!”

A merry girl with her hair dyed her vivid gold, reached out her hand to Sierra, banging her darling on her forehead. Sierra took her hand and rose from her seat.

“I’m sure we met at the entrance exam…. What did she say her name was?”

“The cute mascot of the top of Janet! My name is Eli Janet~!”

A girl who introduces herself by turning her body around in her place.

Her identity was Eli Janet, the daughter of the Janet Merchant Chamber.

“I am the Sierra Bay… No, the Grimkeeper. She’s not a bayani, she’s a Grim Keeper.”

From noble mtl dot com

Sierra Baker.

Sierra Grimkeeper looks a lot more snuggly and better than her stiff name. Sierra felt a strong urge to adopt the last name Baker whenever she introduced her name to others.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Sierra! You can speak comfortably! I’m a commoner too!”

“Is that so? Make yourself comfortable too.”

“No. I’m comfortable with this. It’s not possible to talk to the customer carelessly, is it?”

Ellie Janet, who made a very strong impression on her from the first meeting, was actually a very unique character. Like Professor Reina and Miss Ellie, there were a lot of unique people at the academy.

“I’m not particularly a customer of Janet’s top.”

“Whoops! Every person, every animal, and every monster in the world is a potential customer at the top of Janet! I can’t neglect anyone.”

Ellie said as she wiggled her finger. Every single action she took gave off the feeling of being a merchant’s daughter. Even so, I think it’s going too far to consider monsters as customers.

Ellie was a great roommate for Sierra, who was worried about being roommates with an arrogant aristocrat. Ellie’s surprise appearance from a moment ago quickly calmed her startled heart.

“Did Ellie decide on a major?”

“Of course! This is usually decided prior to admission. Miss Sierra will be surprised if she takes my class!”

“Huh? Are you surprised?”

“Four~! The department I chose is the department of thieves!”

“Department of thieves?”

“Yes! Thieves department! A representative runner leading the 3D industry like a muddy perception! I applied because I heard that there was a department in the academy that fosters the thief class!”

Ellie spreads her small chest and says that.

She looked like a cheerful girl proudly revealing her aspirations, but her words, contrary to her attitude, were full of negative comments.

“By the way, she apparently heard that the academy has a thieves department, but she couldn’t find the department office. Even if I ask another professor, he said he doesn’t know. I heard that the registration period for the department is definitely a week, but I’m worried about what it will be like if I can’t find it forever!”

“I am also in the thief department. I registered today.”

“Eh eh!? Why did someone with such a bright future like Sierra go down such a rough thorny road!? Miss Sierra! Are you being threatened by anyone!?”

“Ah, no, Ellie, you said you also majored in thieves.”

“I have my own circumstances! What the hell is Miss Sierra doing!?”

“I just thought John was doing it….”

“Isn’t Yohan the first student to enter!? Come to think of it, the two of you were together on the day of the entrance exam! The two of you, no way, like that?”

Sierra blushed in response to Eli’s sharp question.

“Well, can you see that?”

“Ji, how far have you progressed!?”

“About a kiss… ?”

Sierra told her truth. Then Ellie opened her eyes round like her rabbit and raised her voice.

“Awesome! I heard that when she enters the academy, she will have many couples, but they are already! Ha, but Miss Sierra! Even if she’s a boyfriend, she shouldn’t be taking her career choice so lightly! If Miss Sierra’s boyfriend dies, she’ll die, won’t she?”

“What are you talking about? If John dies, will I die?”

Sierra answered so naturally.

Eli looked at her and thought. This woman, she seems to be in big trouble if she doesn’t lead properly.

The second day of the department selection week has dawned. Ellie went to the thieves department building with her roommate Sierra.

“Hey~ This is not an academy, but it looks like a slum in the royal capital. It’s in a place like this, so people can’t find it~”

Said Ellie, looking around her.

As she said, the building of the Department of Thieves was located on the outskirts of the academy, far away from other departments. This was also a sign of the bad reputation of the Department of Thieves.

“Ellie. By the way, why did Ellie apply for the Department of Thieves?”

It was Sierra’s question.

She did it because John asked her to do it, but for a daughter of a wealthy family like Ellie to pursue the department of thieves, it was incomprehensible. As Ellie said yesterday, public perception of the department of thieves is very poor. It was difficult for Sierra to understand that Ellie, the daughter of a rich family, would choose such a department.

“Ha ha! Is that privacy?”

Ellie turned the fire on with a finite laugh. In response to Ellie’s answer, Sierra didn’t ask any more questions. She doesn’t have to poke where the other person is uncomfortable.

“Oh! It is John.”

She went to the department building and she met John.

The dormitory is different from Yohan. Yohan received a private dormitory as the top student at the academy.

“Sierra. Good morning. Is Miss Ellis Janet next to you?”

“Hello~! A beautiful mascot at the top of Janet! My name is Eli Janet~!”

Ellie raised her hand and greeted her.

“You can call me Ellie comfortably~!”

“Miss Eli seems to be aspiring to the thief department like us, right?”

“Ah! Amazing reasoning! You got it right! This is the chief’s ability!?”

Ellie makes an exaggerated surprised pose. John looked at Ellie and smiled. It is a bright smile that even the sun would envy.

“Wow! It’s so blinding! Miss Sierra. To have such a wonderful boyfriend! Indeed, I understand that Miss Sierra listened to her boyfriend and said that she could die!”

“Oh, no. I don’t like John because of his face.”

Sierra said, lowering her voice.

“hahahaha. The two of you look very friendly. Were you even roommates?”

“Ah! Correct answer again!”

The three quickly became a lively atmosphere.

“John. By the way, what is that thing John is holding? Egg?”

Sierra asked, looking at the oval-shaped object John was holding in her arms. It looked like a stone with a gray tinge to it.

However, it is not just a stone. It was closer to an egg with geometric patterns imprinted on its shell. More precisely, a petrified egg?

“Ah. I found this by accident in the basement of the dorm. I don’t know what it is, so I’m going to ask the professor.”

“I see. Is the senior dormitory good?”

“Extremely good.”

John smiled with satisfaction.

The three of them arrived in front of the Thieves Department building, which was falling apart. Ellie clapped and patted in admiration.

“As expected! The Department of Thieves uses a huge supply warehouse! It’s a bit old, but that’s unavoidable, right?”

“Ellie. This is not a furnishings warehouse. It’s just a department building.”

At Sierra’s words, Ellie’s gaze returned to the department building.

“Eh~? You mean this is the department building!? A building that looks like it will collapse if it blows on it!? Does the Department of Thieves receive any kind of survival training at all times!?”

I could feel Ellie’s startled voice echoing throughout the department building, and I could feel someone’s presence coming out from inside.

Do-do-do-do!

“I came here… ! I’ve been waiting for you!”

A woman opens the door and suddenly shows her face.

It was Reina Izumi, a female professor full of dark circles with her hair hanging down like her wakame stems.

“Hey! Ha, the student multiplied the clothes… !”

Raina was startled as she pointed her finger at Ellie. Apparently, there were two students who came yesterday. The fact that one person has increased….

“Unhealthy dating!?”

“No matter how fast it is, it can’t be this fast.”

John shook his head, correcting the erratic professor’s misunderstanding.

“John and speeding….”

Sierra muttered as if possessed by something in her. It was a very dangerous look.

“This is Miss Ellie Janet, a freshman like us. I came together because I wanted to major in thief.”

“Hey hey… ! Is that so!? This is getting into trouble… “

“Yes?”

“I bought some snacks for the students, but I only bought two clothes….”

Professor Reina speaks in a dejected voice.

With great pride in serving yesterday’s cold water, she recently bought desserts from popular shops in the royal capital, but the number is not enough. That fact made Professor Reina depressed.

“It’s okay. We’re not here to eat.”

What is Reina Izumi? Sierra, who understood her human character to some extent, skillfully comforted Reina.

“Well then, eat inside first. !”

Johan, Sierra, and Ellie went into the Department of Thieves building together. There were eyes looking at those four people.

“It’s always gloomy here.”

It was Flora Chepesch, the head of the academy’s swordsmanship department.
