Chapter 405

Welcome!

“I got mostly convinced in the carriage, but… Miss Cristea, are you a contractor?”

… If you say it so smoothly, isn’t the only way I can answer “Yes”?

“… Yes.”

Ahh… being exposed even before the enrollment is too much.What is going to happen to me?I wonder if I will be sent home and my contracts reported to the country even before I manage to enroll? Uah~ if that happens, all this time I was trying to keep it secret is going to come to naught…

“From what I saw earlier, these two must be Miss Cristea’s contracted Sacred Beasts, yes?”“… Yes.”

Sorry, Mashiro, Kurogane. Even though you had to endure in my shadow up until now..

“Wonderful!”“… Eh?”

When I was feeling gloomy, I raised my face to look at Teacher Neil who was looking at me with a very nice smile for some reason.

“Umm…?”

“I might be a monsterology teacher at the academy, but I was originally Sacred Beasts researcher.”“Eh…? H, haah…”

Teacher Neil continued without noticing that I was troubled about the reaction I was supposed to show.

“I have been admiring Sacred Beast contracts since I was young. I researched monsters in detail, trying to see whether I could contract a Sacred Beast myself.”“Haah…”“And so, I was able to contract magic beasts during my time researching, but a contract with Sacred Beast did not come true…”“Is that so…”

Noticing that I was troubled by his sorrowful expression, teacher put a smile on his face again.

“Ah, but it’s fine. I was able to find a partner thanks to my current magic beast contract. Also, it seems that I will be able to research carefully from now on!”“… Eh?”

Teacher Neil said with a very nice smile, but… research carefully he said… what does he mean…?

“That being the case, I welcome you. Welcome to the special dormitory!”“S, special dormitory?”

What is this special dormitory?

“Teacher Neil, Cristea is at her wits’ end. Please explain to her properly.”

Right, right, tell him Oniisama!I don’t know what’s what anymore!

“Eh? It’s only natural for Miss Cristea who contracted Sacred Beasts to enter the special dormitory, no?”

Teacher Neil said blankly.As I said, what is this special dormitory?Is this not the girls’ dormitory!?While I was panicking, the door of the room opened and an elderly lady entered.

“My, so you were here. I brought you the keys to the girls’ dormitory.”“Ah, Mrs. Dora. Thank you very much.”

Teacher Neil stood up and received a key from the lady called Mrs. Dora.

“Mrs. Dora. I have decided to let Miss Cristea Ellisfeed here, who was supposed to stay at the girls’ dormitory to stay at the special dormitory. Please transfer the luggage that arrived earlier here.”“Oh my! This year is an unusual one.”“Eh! T, this place is not the girls’ dormitory?”

“It’s not like you can’t stay there, but… contractors fundamentally stay in this dormitory. It has been prepared especially for contractors like yourself.”

… That reminds me, Otousama once spoke about like this, didn’t he… so this was the place, huh.
