Chapter 208: I too, want to pretend that I am mighty and omniscient
I had wondered once; why people always pushed doing their homework for the last day. Why didn’t they do it before, little by little so they didn’t have to face agonizing piles of homework? Was it so hard to do?
Hah! The joke was on me!
Because that was exactly what I was doing on the last day of our journey home; working through Eruha’s homework. I had to beg Lesta and Natha to help me with it, filling me in on the things I forgot during the visit.
Making several essays analyzing the economic and cultural situation of the region wasn’t something easy to do when we were in a hurry, turned out. I also totally forgot that I had to record the three topmost commodities in each town and city we visited. Mapping was easier because I liked to see the landscape from the deck every time we flew.
But damn--I would never think bad about those students delaying their work anymore.
At first, Jade was sulking because I couldn’t play, but seeing that I was busy doing my homework instead of spending time with Natha put the bird in a better mood. Jade even helped me bring some papers and candies to refill my sugar intake, while Ignis kept me warm even while I was rolling on the floor while doing my essays.
And with everyone’s help, I could finish my homework in time! Yaay!
Although...why was it that I felt Lesta was rather disappointed in my narrow escape?
Was it had something to do with how he stayed as far as possible from Eruha when we finally landed safely on the Castle? Eruha and Malta were there to welcome us, and I saw Lesta inch further and further away to the back of the group. But I also saw the vampire’s sharp gaze always managed to find the demon.
How suspicious...
Eruha didn’t say anything though, just kept conversing with me and Natha. His eyes though--his eyes never left the nervous Lesta.
