Chapter 82: The Sacred Day Of Lady Elise (3)

May 5.

The Day of Lady Elise.

If it had been me from last year, I would have spent the entire day nervous, wondering if anyone besides Evelyn would give me a gift.

...But this year would be different!

A 100% chance to receive 2!

A 90% chance to receive 4!!

A 50% chance to receive 6!!! I was the ‘guaranteed victor.’

So, arriving at school an hour earlier than usual and sitting in my seat was definitely not because I was nervous!

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Master!! Are you awake by any chance?

I was just about to contact her when I received a message from Lady Yuris.

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): Oh, you bitch. Just woke up.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah... That's a relief... Hehe...

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): Now that I think about it, I hadn't paid any attention, but today is Lady Elise's Day, isn't it?

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): What are you going to give to your master? Find new stories at novelhall.com

‘...It was so natural!’

I asked as if I naturally expected a gift, implying she should have prepared something just in case.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah! That's exactly why I contacted you...

ᄂSacred Power Container■: That... you said it wouldn't be okay for a bitch to visit the master's class, right...?

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): Yeah, that might not work.

Just bringing an ID card last time led to endless questions in class about what relationship Lady Yuris and I had.

...But Lady Yuris personally coming to give me chocolates?

That was not something that could simply be overlooked.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah... Then what should I do? I really want to give it to you in person today... but there's church service after school...

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): We're all going to gather in the auditorium later anyway. Want to meet afterwards in the back?

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah! Yes! Master! That sounds great! See you then haha.

Recently, I’ve noticed that Lady Yuris’s comments have become slightly more relaxed, which is adorable.

...No, Lady Yuris was just incredibly adorable.

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): Haha okay. But what did you prepare? I'm curious.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Haha, it's a secret.

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): A secret? Does a bitch have secrets from her master?

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah... Sorry... I thought you'd be happier with a surprise gift...

ᄂSacred Power Container■: ...But if the master orders, I'll tell you.

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): No need. Haha, I'll forgive you because it's cute. Haha, but I'm expecting something good?

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Yes! You can look forward to it! I've thought hard about what would make the master happy... and decided to give you the best gift!!

I wonder how amazing the preparation must be for such a statement.

I’d be happy to receive anything from Lady Yuris, but I genuinely started to look forward to it.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah! But instead, I'll show you what was originally in consideration. (Link)

“...Lady Yuris can’t cook.”

Though the shape was a mess, the enormous size made it clear it was filled with love for me.

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): It's huge! Wonder if I can eat it all haha.

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah... Sorry... The shape is a mess, and it was good I didn't give it as a gift...

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): The bigger, the better. Haha, what did you make this with? An ostrich egg?

ᄂSacred Power Container■: Ah... that... it was modeled after this bitch's breasts...

“...!!!”

ᄂSacred Power Container■: I tried my best... but it didn't turn out as well as I thought...

ᄂᄋᄋ(89.74): What??? Why wouldn't you give this????

ᄂSacred Power Container■: The shape was a bit strange... and upon reflection, I thought it might upset you... so I ate it all...

“No... How could... Ah...”

“Sigh... Do we have to go to the auditorium soon? It’s such a hassle.”

“Ha! Is this unbeliever speaking of receiving punishment?”

Although nowadays, ‘The Day of Lady Elise’ feels somewhat transformed into a lovers’ day...

Still, ‘The Day of Lady Elise’ was one of the ‘Two Great Blessing Days’ designated by the church, along with ‘Christmas’.

Naturally, it was grandly celebrated at the ‘Sacred Academy’ created by Lady Elise herself.

All the students gather in the auditorium to offer prayers of thanks, and a high-ranking church official comes to speak about how great and magnificent Lady Elise is.

“Don’t exaggerate... Who doesn’t believe in Lady Elise? It’s just the hassle of going to the auditorium that’s annoying.”

“Well, honestly, it is a bit tedious. But then again, there are no morning classes at least.”

...Of course, there was a considerable difference between the Lady Elise preached by the church and her actual personality.

‘It’s simple! If Ian doesn’t have sex with me, the world will end!’

If the Lady Elise known by the church was only benevolent, the Lady Elise I met was much more ‘human’.

“Where’s Delphicia going?”

“Ah, just to the bathroom for a sec. I’ll be quick, so go ahead and save us seats.”

“Alright~ Hurry back.”

Drrrk-

Though she said she was going to the bathroom, Delphicia’s destination was not the restroom.

“....”

An empty classroom.

Delphicia’s steps halted at Estelle’s seat.

Swoosh-

A quick peek inside Estelle’s bag revealed a well-wrapped gift box.

“Ha... Look at this girl. I wondered if she would bring it, and she really did?”

Delphicia chuckled as she took out the gift box.

Evelyn could understand.

Appearance, figure, family background, and even the time spent together.

Jealous as she might be, even another woman could see that Evelyn and Ian matched very well.

‘...What about Estelle?’

But how could Estelle, of all people, garner Ian’s attention?

She knew that once, the name ‘Blackdahlia’ was mentioned right after the ‘Tricolor Families’, indicating its significance.

However, it was no secret that after the ‘Blackdahlia Family Disaster’, Estelle became an orphan, and the family itself was utterly ruined.

‘Acting all high and mighty without even having parents.’

It was so bad that rumors circulated Estelle’s crippled leg was a curse for killing off her own bloodline.

An orphan, crippled, and rude girl.

No matter how she thought about it, the only reason such a girl could receive Ian’s attention was out of pity.

Ian was kind to everyone.

Surely, Estelle must have sold her sob story to exploit Ian’s sympathy.

Crack-

‘...This is so annoying. I even dyed my hair blonde to match Ian’s taste.’

Despite all the effort, all she got was a comment that she matched well with Ian.

‘Don’t ever touch my stuff again. Next time, it won’t be hair that gets cut off.’

Thinking of the hair reminded her of the incident in the first year.

Estelle magically cut her hair just by having sit at her desk for a moment, that crazy girl.

Back then, her punch accidentally hit Ian, earning her glares from Evelyn for quite some time.

...On the contrary, Estelle received a princess carry from Ian.

“Ha... I worried for nothing. Damn bitch.”

She wondered if this was crossing the line, but it was Estelle who had crossed it first.

Crunch-! Crack-!

The sound of ‘something’ being trampled on the floor echoed...

“Estelle, you don’t deserve this.”

Delphicia opened the trash can, her lips twisting into a smirk.
