I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Selling
Previous story:
The new school year begins. Eva is already a second-rate student now. The first time he entered, Denis suddenly approached him. Denis wanted Eva to replace herself as chairman of the board since she was vice-chairman.
Eva agreed. And he had to sign documents that were piled up because Denis was always busy and rarely came to the academy. He found one task after another that the board members had to handle. He did the job for seven days straight. Until he finally found a case that was quite unexpected. The document says there was a dark wizard infiltrating the academy.
***
I stared at the document in front of me with a thumping chest. I don't know why, but somehow I feel so uncomfortable. There's a dark witch who infiltrated, there's no way that meant me, right?
Gulp!
I opened the document slowly to read the case.
There have been some random events since a year ago. The witnesses are students. The events they experience are always the same. At first they thought that a female student was training at night, so they approached her.
Then they saw that the mysterious student was casting a mysterious dark magic. They see everything with their own eyes. The female student even had a chance to look at them and they saw her eyes. It was a very horrible red eye. So they also fled.
Rumors spread that there were dark witches practicing in their yard at night. The place became famous and everyone who was curious would visit there. But never saw the dark wizard. Eventually the rumors died down.
Until finally emerged other rumors from other eyewitnesses in different places. It keeps happening. Each student kept reporting that they saw the same dark magician in a different place in the academy. So rumors that a dark magician is spying on their academy are spreading.
I was relieved when I finished reading it. Turns out it wasn't me. No one saw me using dark magic. This is a great relief.
But this female student made me feel nostalgic. If I'm not mistaken, when I visit the Kano Kingdom together with the other students. I saw a female student with dark magic. But I forgot his name. Besides, it looks like I never met her at the academy, so I forgot.
I called Sion to ask more clearly about the case. Sion even looked at me seriously and said "we're going to leave the case to the school. If it really was a dark witch. The academy will be in danger. And that's beyond the board's ability as well because we're all still students" he said wisely.
Dark witches are really taboo in the kingdom of Well. They are told as monsters in fairy tales for children. So if there's a child who doesn't obey, their parents will say "i'll call a dark witch for you". So that the child will be frightened and obey.
So, I ended up confirming the file anyway. But the case is beyond the responsibility of the school board. The principal will take care of it himself.
My job as a substitute was done. Denis is back. I saw his face, like his condition was not good. His face was pale and there were large dark circles in his eyes that described him as sleep deprived.
"You okay?" I asked when the man had returned to the council room.
Denis looked at me for a moment. Not answering. "Did Duke talk to you about something?" ask him suddenly.
I tilted my head confused, not understanding. "Whatchu mean? My father didn't talk to me about anything." I replied. He had not even returned to the capital with Diana and Evan.
"It's okay" Denis said weakly.
"You okay?" I finally asked.
"Eitherway. The palace is pretty fucked up, lately. I have to deal with the mess" Denis replied.
Oh? So he was exhausted due to the palace problem. Then why did he ask me about Duke? I suspect this is related to Duke.
"Is Court's faction making trouble again?" I asked to the point. Given that only the Court faction could make the royal party become like this.
Denis jerks. Looking from his shocked face, it seemed like my guess was correct. Denis refused. "It's not because of that" he said. "Don't worry. It has nothing to do with the Duke. I'll take care of it" Denis said seriously.
I can't believe it. But I kept nodding, pretending to believe. There was no way the Court faction would not be involved in all of this palace matters.
Then I remembered one thing. I almost forgot about it! Sell it!
"I want to show you something" I said as I pulled a cleaning robot out of my desk.
"Robot cleaner" I turned on the robot and the robot automatically cleaned the detected garbage with a very funny movement.
"This robot is very efficient because it can last longer. We use magic crystals as robot energy. This robot can be used for several years. If you put it in the capital. The capital city will look cleaner. You can also put it in the palace" I explained enthusiastically.
Denis seems interested. "Where did you get that?"
"that's R.." I almost said that I got a kannnya from Ren with a stupid face. If Denis knew the robot was a creation of Ren, the king of the dark elves, one hundred percent would not buy it.
"That's.me and my friend made it" I said awkwardly with a smile.
Denis wouldn't suspect, would he?
"You made it" Denis looked at me fixedly. "But these magic crystals are extremely rare. I'm sure the price will be very expensive" he said a little doubtfully. "Where did you get so many magic crystals to make those toys?" he's asking a trick question now.
I rolled my eyes, thinking of the right reason. Then I remembered the magic city. "I got quite a lot of crystals from the Magic City. Then I used it for research. Then we used it for research and sold it. We got a lot more magic crystals as payment from the Vien king. We sell it to the light elf territory first" I explained with great confidence.
"The elf? How did you get to know the elf king?" Denis asked.
"My friend is an elf" I said again. "We met because of an unexpected incident and became good friends now" of course it was a lie. But, even if Denis wanted to check the truth, he wouldn't know the lies he was telling. Because the light elves are really our first customers.
Denis seems interested. "Then what should I buy it for? Is human currency still useful to you?" He asked in an uncertain tone. Denis knew that elves thought human money was not important at all. Because they can't use that thing in their territory.
"I've thought about it. You can transmit anything you think is valuable from the kingdom of Well. My friend will take everything. He's not a picky guy"
"Since you also live in this kingdom, can you think of something as well?" Denis raised his eyebrows.
My face immediately turned sullen. It's not that I don't want to, but in my eyes there's nothing precious in this place. There's no way I would say something like this to Denis, right? But I do know that the royal family has some valuables in their warehouse. Although I don't know what it is because they're hiding it.
"I don't know..." I said then in a sad tone. "My parents raised me with very common items. I don't remember any valuables here at all"
Denis frowned, thinking for a few seconds. Then he replied, "have you received any magic tools?"
"Of course Your Majesty!"
"But I need to negotiate this with my father first" Denis said. "I'll let you know later as soon as possible"
"No problem" I nodded in agreement.
then the deal between us was formed. I managed to sell this robot to the kingdom Well. Next I'll offer her to the Kano kingdom. Or maybe I should open a shop? It seems more efficient to open a store and spread sales. I will also sell other types of robots in that store.
But I'm not sure yet because I still haven't found someone who can look after the store for me. I need to find someone to trust for it.
After that, I say goodbye home. Denis offered to drive me. But I immediately rejected it.
"I'm going back to the dormitory which is only a few feet away from here. There's no need to drop me off" Don't do that at the academy, because I'm sure we'll be everyone's spectacle.
"All right..." Denis answered.
I went back to my own dorm. There, I could see Vivian was very busy with her book again. But it's not a magic book. It was his restaurant book. The restaurant has been open for more than a week. And it's getting a lot of regular customers now.
When I saw Vivian look like that, I remembered something. Maybe I can hand the robot shop over to him. It seemed that the girl was really talented at things like this. There is a merchant soul in him!
I started discussing it with Vivian. I brought out some inventions that Ren had already made. Upon seeing all that, Vivian's eyes immediately sparkled. He was very interested in helping. So, I directly handed the store's opening to her.
The next day, I happened to see Sayn and Robert at the academy. So I want to offer this robot to all of them.
