I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 52

The next day, I headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Normally, the cafeteria would be bustling with students and the smell of bread from the morning, but today, there are many students at the entrance, causing a crowd.

I wonder what’s wrong?

“Oh, Lady Yuria! Were you alright yesterday?”

“Reese, everyone is gathered in front of the cafeteria, is something wrong?”

“It seems that the school will be closed for three days starting today. That’s why the cafeteria is closed too. The reason for the closure is, as expected, what happened yesterday, right?”

“That might be true. It’s troublesome, especially with the test coming up.”

It can’t be helped.

I have no choice but to go out to the town to buy bread or eat at the cafeteria.

If it’s for three days, maybe I can go to Eme’s place!

Anyway, I won’t study, so…

“What are you going to do with Liz for three days?”

“The library isn’t open either, so I’ll study in my room. What about you, Yuria-sama?”

“Hmm, I’ll go back to the dorm for now and think about whether to go home.”

It’s not an earldom, though.

At that time, we managed to prevent any harm because we restrained Miss Colleen, but I wonder what kind of mechanism was in that bracelet?

There might have been something significant enough to close the academy.

It’s scary, isn’t it?

We haven’t even found the previous culprit, so I wonder what will happen next.

But even if I think about it more, I’m still an outsider.

Don’t worry about it!

More importantly, what we need to figure out is what to do about breakfast, right?

After parting ways with Liz, I changed clothes and was about to head out to the city… but then a magical message came flying in.

“Lady Yuria, to the Mage’s Tower. I wish to hear the details of yesterday.”

“Teacher, I haven’t eaten yet…”

“I will prepare things here, so please head this way as you are.”

Waaah, is it okay if I cry?

I just have a feeling that my precious day off is going to be ruined!

I ended up heading to the wizard’s tower while embodying my dissatisfaction.

“Good morning, teacher.”

In Professor Giannino’s room, the Grandmaster Brol and the secretary were waiting.

“Lady Yuria Osborn, good morning. I called you here because I wanted to have a little talk. I apologize for the inconvenience, but please bear with me.”

“Wouldn’t it be best to ask Lady Yolande?”

“Yes, of course, I spoke with him yesterday. Of course, I don’t think Lady Yuria is involved in this matter. It’s just a testimony as one of the witnesses.”

“……”

Is everyone here an enemy?

The teacher is serving bread and tea, but I really don’t feel like eating.

I feel like I want to say a word of resentment to Lord Yorland for dragging me into this.

I sat down in a manner unbecoming of a young lady, just like Bossun.

“So, what do you want to know? I was told by Lord Yorland to follow him, so I left the library, contacted the teacher, and headed to class. Then, I cast a sleep spell on the restrained Miss Colleen to put her to sleep. That’s all.”

“Why did you cast a sleep spell on Miss Colleen?”

“His eyes were bloodshot and he was foaming at the mouth, looking like he was about to do something. Normally, it would be the knight in charge of restraining him, but they seemed to be overwhelmed.”

“Where did you learn about sleep magic?”

“I was taught by the teacher.”

“Have you always used it?”

“It’s not something I use all the time. I’ve been taught that it’s for people who are confused or can’t move due to severe injuries, and I’ve only used it a few times.”

“Are you the head of the Giannino wizards, teacher?”

“No, it’s Dr. Paron.”

“Is Lady Yuria working under Dr. Paron?”

“No. I don’t understand why you’re asking that question. Is it necessary? I’m going to the clinic for magic training. I’m a disciple of Master Giannino, and if you want to hear about Master Paron, wouldn’t it be better to ask Master Giannino?”

Grand Commander Brol seemed to nod in agreement and switched to talking about Lady Colleen.

Do you know what the bracelet is or something like that?

I don’t know anything about it, but I was just concerned because the student who came to call Yorland was talking about the bracelet.

For about three hours from there, I was asked the same thing over and over again.

During that time, I haven’t eaten anything.

I’m tired.

Professor Giannino is not going to stop General Brol’s interrogation.

“Lady Yuria, thank you for your cooperation.”

“Has my suspicion been cleared?”

When I said it sarcastically, President Brol looked a bit troubled and apologized.

Do you really think so?

I’m getting irritated because I’m hungry.

No good.

No matter how irritated I am, it’s not right to take it out on others. I need to reflect on that a bit.

“Well then, I’m going home.”

“Lady Yuria, I will escort you.”

“No, that’s alright. Professor Giannino must be busy too, right? I can go home by myself. Well then.”

Since I was already tired, I stood up quickly with the sole intention of getting out of there and left the room.

Sigh, I’m tired.

I don’t want to do anything today.

Let’s buy some bread in town and relax at the dorm.

So, I was trying to buy bread at the bakery, but today, of all days, the bread was sold out.

Ah, I see, everyone rushed to the bakery because the academy was closed.

This feeling, I will definitely clear it up someday!!

I finally had a meal after entering the cafeteria filled with a pleasant aroma.

I’ll come back to life!

Was the soup this delicious?

I continued eating, moved by the soup that I poured into my empty stomach.

“Phew, I’m full!”

As I rubbed my stomach contentedly, I heard a chuckling sound.

“You’re interesting. Were you that hungry?”

“I hadn’t eaten anything since morning, so it was really delicious!”

My name is Joan. What’s your name?

He looks one or two years older than me, wearing somewhat affluent-looking clothes, and he even has an air of being a well-off young master.

Isn’t this a place we should be cautious about?

“Why do I have to answer?”

“Huh? It’s because you’re cute. Want to hang out with me? I’m sure it’ll be fun. Look, I’m rich.”

Suspicious, really suspicious!

I inadvertently turned my gaze towards something dirty.

“That’s enough. I’m not short on money, so try someone else?”

He seemed very surprised, as if he hadn’t expected to be turned down.

I paid the bill and left the store, ignoring him.

Joan didn’t seem like the type of person who would chase after someone.

Was it that shocking!?

I’m having a bad day today. I’ll just stay in my room until school starts.
