Chapter 140: Please Save Me, Sis (5)
I ran my ass off to catch up to Rosemary who had bolted.
I didn’t know how she could run that fast in a long dress. Did she have motors attached to her feet or something? Ah, yeah, I guess so.
“Wait, just stop for a minute!”
I called out to Rosemary who was dashing away. Her ultramarine hair swished as she turned around halfway.
“S-sis.”
Her face was pale, perhaps due to her claustrophobia. It was almost pitiful the way she was rolling her blank eyes this way and that to avoid my gaze. I was going to say something, then just sighed and pointed somewhere.
“Let’s go over there.”
Where I pointed was the amphitheater located on the north side of the Academy. Yeah, that same amphitheater that Rosemary had half-destroyed with her attack at the entrance ceremony a few months ago. After that incident, the Earth Mages had somehow managed to finish the construction, and now it was back to its original form.
The back of this theater was a pretty decent place. Here, you could smoke mana grass without being caught by the profs–a hot spot known to most graduate students.
It was boring to do nothing but talk. Rosemary familiarly pulled out a pack of Goldenstein from her pocket and put one in my mouth. My head was floating from the bitter flavor of the different quality cigarette as soon as I took it.
I took a puff of smoke and waited. Rosemary was the first to speak.
