I waited patiently outside the shower, eager to see Sylvie and Kelly emerge. Finally, they called out, “We’re back!”
But to my surprise, Sylvie spoke up, “I’m sorry, but I have something I need to take care of today. You go ahead without me.”
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity and concern about what Sylvie had to do. I wanted to make sure it had nothing to do with me, so I asked, “…Huh? Alright then, see you tomorrow!”
Kelly, ever cheerful, responded with a smile, and Sylvie waved goodbye gently. As they walked away, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of what Sylvie’s mysterious task could be. Determined to find out, I decided to head to the location where the expelled personality resided—an academy building I had never visited before.
As I stood at the entrance, hesitating about whether I should enter, a guard with an intimidating expression appeared before me. He sternly said, “This is not a place for ordinary academy students. Step back.”
I pointed towards the building and stammered, “…Uh, over there…”
Inside that building was where Cerys Marilyn’s expelled personality resided. I knew that if I activated my perception ability, I could see things more clearly.
My perception ability revealed a troubling sight—personality deterioration was in progress. The situation seemed dangerous, and I couldn’t ignore it.
Confused, the guard confronted me, demanding answers. “What are you doing? Why did you use that skill?”
I struggled to find the right words to explain the complex situation. It was a problem that wasn’t easy to describe. This was…
“Stop! What’s going on here?”
Suddenly, a figure appeared before me, someone I never expected to see again—Kyelli, the Student Council President. Her stunning silver hair made the guardsman step back, intimidated by her presence.
The guardsman explained, “I was trying to hold this person back because it seemed like an ordinary academy student was attempting to enter the research building.”
Kyelli turned her gaze towards me, her expression inscrutable. “Lucas, what’s happening?”
I hesitated, but decided to be honest. “Ceridwen… Do you know who Marilyn is, President?”
Kyelli maintained her silence, her eyes locked onto mine, searching for answers.
“I was actually on my way to see Professor Ceridwen as well. If you have some business there, shall we go together?” she finally suggested.
Taken aback by her unexpected cooperation, I agreed, “Ah, yes.”
I couldn’t help but wonder why Kyelli was being so agreeable. Was she purposely trying to keep me close because she found me suspicious?
Suppressing those thoughts, I seized the opportunity to slip past the guard and entered the research building alongside Kyelli.
Once inside, I couldn’t hide my concern any longer. “I tried to contact Ms. Cerys, but I couldn’t reach her. I heard that she returned home.”
Kyelli’s response was guarded. “… Really?”
Confusion and worry filled my mind. I was the only one who used the personality Expel ability in this game, yet there was an expelled personality with a name I didn’t recognize inside the academy.
But then I realized something. It was unfair to label the expelled personality as “Expel” without even knowing the teacher’s face. From now on, I would refer to it as “jelly.”
Regardless, if Ms. Cerys had expelled “jelly,” it was only natural that she couldn’t be contacted. The situation was becoming more mysterious and concerning with every passing moment.
I swore to myself that I had never used the inhumane personality Expel on any heroine. However, it was true that I possessed knowledge about Expel-related details that others didn’t. I could somewhat understand the situation that Ms. Cerys was currently in, and that fact made me incredibly anxious. Wasn’t this situation enough to accuse me as the culprit?
Kyelli continued walking forward without looking back, her voice breaking the silence. “Since lunchtime, I’ve been trying to contact her, but there has been no response. I thought maybe she was having her lunch.”
“Lunchtime?” I repeated, my mind racing to make a connection.
“Yes,” Kyelli confirmed.
The Unveiled Persona. If this was about what I had done before…
“A Scarecrow!?” I blurted out, the realization hitting me. Did the scarecrow have a separate creator? I couldn’t recall the information I had glimpsed through my insight, as I had only skimmed over it.
However, there was something I did remember—the magical scarecrow for novices was an item that belonged to the student council.
“Um, Student Council President, I have a question for you,” I hesitantly spoke up.
“What is it?” she replied, her steps coming to an abrupt halt.
I couldn’t help but notice the white pants that hugged her hips, a detail Lucas had always adored. But there was no time to appreciate that now.
“Miss Cerys, were you a part of the student council during your time as a student?” I asked, hoping to uncover a clue.
Kyelli’s voice turned cold, and her expression hardened. “Didn’t you know that when you went to visit Teacher Cerys?”
Sweat trickled down my back, and I struggled to find an explanation. “Well… the dungeon we went to for the afternoon class was quite hot.”
Her piercing gaze seemed to see right through me. I realized that I was in an incredibly precarious situation.
“Why are you sweating so much?” she pressed on.
I stammered, trying to come up with an excuse. “Um… I guess I’m just feeling a bit nervous.”
“Teacher Cerys was part of the student council. She was the Student Council President during her time as a student,” Kyelli finally revealed.
