(EP-59.1) Theo #8

    059 – Silver Rookie Theo #8

    Friday morning.

    「The lecture is temporarily cancelled due to the Professor’s circumstances. Assignments can be received from the Teaching Assistant.」

    As I was sitting in the ‘Exploring Fairies’ lecture classroom, the Assistant Marmar came and wrote this on the blackboard.

    The first lecture ended short while the second one got cancelled. I wondered if things were really okay, but there was nothing I could do about it.

    It seemed that Professor Stella would be kicked out of this school soon. This was troublesome for me as I barely made a connection with her.

    I really had no choice but to risk my life for that Research Award...

    With that thought in mind, I got up from my seat and walked out of the classroom and spoke to Marmar.

    “Marmar, how are you? You doing good in Ark?”

    Then Marmar spoke as if she hadn’t talked to anyone well in a long time.

    “Comrade... ! The class system here.... It’s very disgusting... ! It divides people’s ranks and promotes discrimination.... This is unacceptable...!”

    Marmar was a revolutionary Imp who strived for an equal world.

    To her, the class and ranking system of Ark appeared to be nothing but a product of terrible discrimination.

    However, this entire farce was getting a bit annoying.

    “So what the heII is that tone for?”

    “This is the trendy tone of Fairies...! In order to participate in Fairy Night, everyone needs to speak like a Fairy...!”

    “Really? But it’s fine if you’re with me. You can speak comfortably. If you keep talking like that, I might give you some honey chestnut (smack in the head).”

    “But....”

    “But?”

    “But I couldn’t get back to my original tone...! I just forgot how to do it...! Now, I keep talking like this over and over again....”

    Tears welled up in Marmar’s orange eyes.

    I didn’t know the details of the situation, but that ridiculous clown-like tone of voice seemed to have been fixed.

    Seriously, who in their right mind would talk like that?

    On another note, I was intrigued by the ‘Fairy Night’ that Marmar said.

    “What is this ‘Fairy Night’?”

    “Every Friday evening... ! In the secret fairy underground base, fairy-exclusive secret events are held... ! And there, they also sell treasures of Demon King Angmar...!”

    “Really!? King Solomon’s treasure!?”

    This was tempting to hear.

    With the spells Halpas and Belial, and the Status Window, I had first-hand experience on how great the legacy and treasures of King Angmar were.

    ... But this event would happen tonight.

    If I remembered correctly, there was also the opening meeting of SILVERS or something tonight.

    Participating in Fairy Night naturally meant not being able to attend the SILVERS’ meeting. And if I participated in SILVERS’ meeting, Fairy Night would be out of the question.

    Which of the two should I go to?

    That was the question...

    “Where is the Fairy Night held?”

    “The central building...! It is a very secretive and mysterious place only for fairies, but you’re a Half-Fairy.... I’m sure you’ll know where it is when you go there...!”

    And thus I was able to enter the auditorium.

    Well, not really...

    “Stop right there! I don’t feel much fairy energy from your companion!”

    The nymph Doornoi, who was guarding the entrance, suddenly stopped me.

    It seemed that she couldn’t feel fairy energy in me. Maybe it was because I was only a Half-Fairy.

    “But I am a Fairy...”

    “Fairies don’t talk like that-! Guards-!”

    At the words of the blue-haired Nymph ‘bouncer’, small Nymphs began to pop out here and there. They held ugly ropes and clubs in their hands...

    More importantly, ‘fairies don’t talk like that’.

    Hm... Was my tone the problem?

    Apparently, the stories were true, Nymphs actually had a strange talking habit. And so, despite hating it, I closed my eyes and did what I had to do to enter.

    “I am a fairy...! Let me in...!”

    What the heII was I doing right now?

    From within me, something like an instinctive sense of shame began to creep into my heart. It felt like the tentacles of the abyss were constricting my confidence...

    Then the Nymph guards, who had begun to surround me, looked at each other’s faces and nodded one by one.

    “He’s a Fairy.”

    “Sounds right-!”

    Fu?ck off.

    I mimicked Marmar’s funny tone and managed to enter the venue.

    It was crowded with Nymphs of various hair colors in different types of clothes.

    The table was full of empty plates and candy wrappers. Had they already eaten all the candies?

    “Comrade-! There’s the buffet over there...! Let’s fill our stomach first...!”

    The hungry Marmar took an empty plate and began serving herself some food.

    Marmar spent a huge sum of 100,000 coins, so she needed to get her money’s worth.

    Foods such as moist sweet and sour pork, as well as cold stir-fried spicy pork reminded me of the old school meals. However, these were surprisingly good.

    Murmuring-.

    As I sat down at a table and ate, I could hear the conversation of the Nymphs sitting opposite me.

    ━The Nymph relief club fundraising is not good these days....

    ━The relief foundation is also not doing as well as it used to be.... It seems people don’t like Nymphs anymore...!

    ━However, to cherish and love the Nymphs was the truth revealed in the ancient mural painting of the Nymphs 2,000 years ago...

    ... It was not a very healthy conversation.

    But the reason I came here, in the first place, was to find the treasure of King Angmar.

    I said so quietly to Marmar, who was already emptying her second plate.

    “So where are they going to sell the treasures?”

    “The fairy shop is over there...! After the meal, would you like to go together, comrade...?”

    “Absolutely.”
