Chapter 156: Melina’s Small Problem
It had been a few days since Melina received her first batch of black pearls from Ichiro, who was fighting in the war against the devil Zagor.
After Ichiro and his companions managed to lay their hands on a large supply of black pearls, they needed Melina’s assistance in cleansing them and turning them into golden pearls to cure the beastkin that had turned into lesser demons.
On the first day that the crate arrived, the princess skipped her lessons so she could stay in her room, cleansing the demonic pearls.
Her roommates, Yuki and Eve, decided not to bother her as she worked, noticing how they had never seen Melina so focused on a task before.
They knew that Melina felt bored in her classes at the academy since her magical prowess put her at a level that was above the professors, so they had never seen Melina put genuine effort into something.
Once Melina had spent a few days cleansing the black pearls in her room, she reached a point where she mastered the enchantment and was able to cast it while holding a friendly conversation on the side.
Luca, the Prince of Vista, wondered what Melina was up to as she wasn’t attending her lessons, thus not giving him a moment to become more acquainted with her.
The light green-haired prince had ordered his two friends to look for information on Ichiro after hearing that Melina was interested in him, but the facts he was getting from them were not making him feel any better about his chances with the princess.
Every time he tried talking to her, she either ignored him or barely paid any attention to his comments, making him wonder if he was doing something wrong when approaching her.
