Chapter 3: Summoning the Golem! (3)
(Since Rosalie is absent, it should be the protagonist Blakedy's turn next...)
While Adelaide was thinking this, the male teacher called the next student.
"Student No. 0198, Brady V. Ulysses, please come forward to summon the puppet."
"Okay~"
A boy among the students who looked a little frivolous responded.
After responding to the teacher in a very arrogant tone, he walked up to the pseudo-gate of life.
(Why does he feel a little different from my impression of the protagonist? I thought he would be the quiet and cowardly type~)
Seeing Brady, Edward felt somewhat disappointed.
In her previous life, she actually quite liked Brady's cowardly personality, who would not make a move until the heroine threw herself at him.
Because Adelaide thought it was more interesting that way.
But when she saw Brady in real life, she felt a little disgusted.
Not only is his personality a bit frivolous, but Brady also gives people an impression of being very arrogant.
Adelaide's sister in her previous life told her that men who are arrogant, have a strong sense of self-esteem and have no special abilities are very difficult to deal with.
Adelaide's brother in her previous life was such a person, so she deeply understood her sister's warning.
(Well, even if the protagonist doesn't capture all the heroines, he can still successfully complete the game. I will keep a little distance from the protagonist in the future, and hope that he and other capture targets can make smooth progress.)
"Ancient gods who have fallen into deep sleep, please listen to my call and transform into sharp blades of heroic blood!"
As Brady sang with smugness, the Pseudo-Gate of Life immediately burst into a dazzling light.
(What is this? Shouldn’t Brady have summoned the game’s cheat puppet, the Seraph? What on earth is this three-headed thing?)
Seeing the figure appear after the light faded, Edward covered his mouth and exclaimed in his heart.
The puppet that Brady summoned was an ugly monster with the heads of a buffalo, a goat and a human, and a body that looked like a pile of black and purple rotten meat.
Although the Seraphim has only one eyeball on its body with six wings on it, it can hardly be called cute.
But the monster that Brady summoned now made Edward feel a little disgusted.
"This is an ancient demon puppet of S+ rarity, Asmodeus the Lustful... The individual talent value is... 17..."
Hearing the male teacher say this, Brady immediately showed a very proud smile.
"As expected of the son of the heroic Viscount Ulysses, Brady is amazing!"
"That is to say, not only is the puppet's rarity S+, but its individual talent value is 17. Maybe Brady's puppet can now directly rank among the strongest puppets in the empire."
Some boys in the audience who seemed to be close to Brady immediately cheered.
But the male teacher's expression was a little complicated, or perhaps it should be said that he was uneasy?
Another person who felt as uneasy as the male teacher was Adelaide, who knew the original plot of the game.
(The villain nobleman summoned a strange beautiful girl, and the original protagonist actually summoned a demon puppet. What will happen next?!)
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
"Al~ How did it turn out? Where's the puppet you summoned?"
As soon as Alfred left the hall where the freshmen summoned puppets, a charming silver-haired beautiful girl immediately came over and asked with a kind and gentle smile.
The silver-haired girl's name is Rosemary D. Elect.
She is the adopted daughter of the Duke of Elect and also Alfred's fiancée.
"Sister Rose... that puppet I summoned is this child..."
Alfred took a step back, allowing Rose to see the girl following him.
In order to avoid commotion, Alfred now asked the girl to use magic to temporarily hide his dragon horns and wings.
In the eyes of others, she should now be just an ordinary girl with outstanding appearance.
"Eh?"
Rose made a silly sound.
"Hello, um..."
The girl was very shy and hugged Alfred's arm to greet Rose.
"Hello...wait a minute, Al, you said this cute girl is your puppet, what on earth is this (are you kidding me)..."
Alfred took a step forward and covered Rose's mouth in panic.
"Sister Rose, calm down first. I will explain the details to you next! Also, didn't you say you would take me to the shopping street today and familiarize me with Illya and Alia's campus?"
"That's true. But you have to explain the situation to me carefully afterwards, Al!"
Rose calmed down and raised her index finger, acting like a big sister teaching her younger brother.
"I understand, Sister Rose, let's go quickly. Everyone is watching us."
Realizing that everyone around her was looking at her, Rose immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"That's right, let's go to the shopping district now."
Rose sheepishly took Alfred's arm and pulled him away from the hall door.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
"It's really lively here. There are many more people than I thought."
Looking at the crowded crowds on the shopping street, Alfred couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to the shopping street on campus, this place is more like a busy small town.
"Many students who live far away will return to school a few days before the long vacation ends. During the remaining time before school starts, everyone will choose to spend time in the shopping district."
Rose explained, still holding Alfred's arm.
"I see... But is it really okay to let Sister Rose buy things for me?"
In Illya Alia's school, students are not allowed to use the currency of the outside world.
Students must use credits issued by the school when making purchases at the school's shopping mall or when making transactions between students.
It is said that the reason for doing this is to prevent students with too good a family background from excessively relying on their family's financial resources and thus affecting the school's original educational policy.
Alfred now only has the 300 credits awarded by the school when he enrolled.
These credits are barely enough to buy all the necessities needed when school starts.
"It doesn't matter~ And don't look at me like this, I was the head of the grade last semester after all.
To be honest, I have more credits than I can spend on my own. Today I just bought you all the things you need for the new semester, Al, as a gift to celebrate your successful enrollment."
