Chapter 227: Afterword
Monica Everett, a genius magician, was extremely shy and terrible at speaking in public.
To that end, she worked hard and mastered the art of countless magic, which she could use without chanting.
After being chosen as one of the Seven Sage at the tender age of fifteen as the “Silent Witch,” she lived a quiet life in the forest.
However, two years have passed since then, and one day, Monica received an order.
And it was to secretly protect the second prince to the academy undetected.
In order to protect the prince, Monica must infiltrate a glamorous school for the children of noble families.
“I don’t wanna do this… I’m scared… Ugh… My stomach is aching…” …said the girl whimpering.
Prologue
Monica Everett, who had been lying asleep on her desk with a pen in her right hand and a stack of papers in her left, woke up to the morning light streaming in through the window.
Apparently, she had left the curtains open and fallen asleep again.
It is always the case that when you are absorbed in calculations, the details of daily life become neglected. The fact that she had forgotten to close the curtains meant that she had been absorbed in her work from before the sun went down until she fell asleep yesterday.
As she lazily sat up and rubbed her eyes, she noticed a thread of ink on the side of her hand. She put her hand to her cheek, wondering what it might be, and a boisterous voice sounded from above her head.
“Monica, you’re in trouble! There’s a weird pattern appearing on your face! It must be the curse of the dark dragon. Anyone who suffers from this curse will have those cursed patterns spread all over their body and they will die after lying around for three days and three nights! I saw it written in a book I read the other day!”
Monica moved her eyes, still sleepily, looked up at the owner of the boisterous voice.
Glittering golden eyes gazed down at Monica on the ceiling beams where the sunlight never reached. Blinking a few times, she could vaguely see the outline of a black cat blending into the darkness.
“…Nero, you know, this isn’t a curse or anything…”
Monica lifted the paper she was halfway through writing the formula on and brought it up to her face level.
Holding the paper next to her cheek, the same pattern laid out as if it were a mirror image.
“I just fell asleep lying on top of a formula I was writing, and this is just some ink on my face…”
When Monica waved the formula paper in the air, Nero, the black cat who had been looking down on her from the ceiling beam, nimbly jumped onto the desk.
Nero wasn’t just a black cat. He was Monica’s familiar and understood human language. He also recently learned to read, so while Monica was engrossed in her formula he would spend his time reading entertaining novels.
Nero looked up at Monica from the desk and said rudely, “You are such an idiot.”
“Actually, the curse of the dark dragon can be lifted with a kiss from the fairy prince. Shall I try it out on you?”
“You are not a fairy, Nero… Mm… I’m going to wash my face…”
