Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 41: Cozy time.

Afterward, one cat girl dejectedly walked back to her seat, her adorable cat ears drooping, it seemed like she really wanted to meet the Saint, which is, well, me.

She probably doesn't need to wait for much longer though, if we look at the general state of politic here and really boil it down, the emperor and the crown prince are on the side of war, while the second prince is not. Christina is obviously out of the equation.

There's a total of five Dukes, three of them are busy fighting demons at the border already, so they are neutral. Of the remaining two, Duke Spencer is on the second prince's faction, and then there's Duke Forbes, who's on the crown prince's side.

Oh, and did I mention that Duke Forbes is in the six feet gang? Well, six feet underground that is, cause he's super dead now. I shot him in the head the other day.

But anyway, I'm getting sidetracked here. The point is, we just need to put the second prince as the heir to the throne, and then somehow keep his loved ones hostage or something, then the war should definitely end, and we can start preparing to fight the demons. Especially now that the crown prince's most powerful ally is dead, it's going to be easier.

Now we need to convert and/or convince the nobles to support the second prince, and then start to pressure the emperor to either stop the war, or abdicate the throne altogether.

Worst case, if he's still stubborn, we'll have to assassinate him, I would feel sorry for Christina, but we don't have infinite time here.

Either way, it seems like the students here got out of their daydreams already, I could hear a lot of murmurs. Well, I guess it's not that surprising.

''You did well.'' I could feel a hand stroking my head.

It's Liana. ''Mhmm, well, if we kept going, I would have lost there.'' I said.

It's not false, I felt like he still had more cards to play, it's the previous Saint after all, I would need to train a lot more to catch up to him.

''Don't worry, with your absurd talent, you'll surpass him in no time.'' She said, moving her arm to hug my waist sideway.

''I'm not concerned, though. Thanks anyway.'' I replied, leaning on her shoulder.

When did this girl become so gentle? She was so cheeky before, is it because she just passed puberty? Or it is because we're lovers now?

Doesn't matter, I guess.

''Well, then, is there anyone else?'' Stephen, still on the platform, said.

''Me! Solo, please!'' A guy from our class said loudly.

Ah, it's the protagonist. Well, let's see what would happen.

----- 

*yawn*

Mhmm, it's not very interesting.

I mean, the only one here that could somewhat face against Stephen except me is probably Liana, but she's busy groping my butt right now, I doubt she wants to go up there.

Do I just sleep for now? I doubt there would be anything else anyway.

''Wake me up when it's over.'' I said to the girls, who each gives me a nod.

----- 

After the class ended, we remained in the sparring area to watch Christina and Emy duel. And I forgot to ask the headmaster to teach me portal magic, maybe I'll do that later. According to the goddess, this guy should be trustworthy, so I guess I can ask for the Saint experience or something.

Anyway, I'm now sitting on Liana's lap, it's pretty rare that I get a back hug from Liana like this, usually she would just go for a front hug, then sneaks her hands down to touch my butt at the same time.

Anastasia is also here, sitting besides us, to provide healing if needed.

On the platform, Christina and Emy are fighting quite fiercely, sword and spear clashing against each other.

Ultimately though, Emy still won both of the two matches, now she's making a V sign while smiling very slightly.

Ah, I think I need to console Christina again, she seems down.

So after Anastasia treated both of their injuries, I hug Christina's head into my chest again. This time around, she instantly puts her arms around my waist to hug me tighter, almost as if she had expected this.

...Cunning girl.

Anyway, it's almost lunch time now. I need to fill my stomach.

''Are you guys free now? Wanna go grab lunch together?'' I asked, with Christina still burying her head in my chest.

''Mhmm.'' Christina grumbles in approval.

''Sure.'' Anastasia said.

----- 

We're now in a restaurant inside the academy's ground, the menu here is not that much different from a normal restaurant's one, the quality is pretty decent as well, except they serve almost instantly, probably to save the student's time.

Though, I'm not sure if I got infected with a rich kid's palate disease since I've come here or not, and my 'decent' is actually top tier food or something. But in my defense, I'm a princess, so.

Picking up another piece of sausage, I open the newspaper I just got outside.

Hmm, it looks like the news is not out yet, whatever.

''This salmon here is pretty good, Sylvia, do you want to try a bit?'' Suddenly Christina asked me.

''Sure.'' I said.

''Say ah~'' She stabs a sizable piece of salmon and brings it towards me.

Oh, I've never gotten Christina to feed me before.

''Ah~''

(๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

It is good indeed, the meat is perfectly cooked, with minimal seasoning to add a bit of flavor on top of the delicious salmon.

''Eat this too.'' Emy said, bringing a piece of pancake towards my mouth.

''Ah~''

''Then try the chicken too.'' Liana does the same as well.

''Ah~''

Having beautiful girls feed me like this, what a life.

Because all of us don't really have any schedule for today, we all decided to go play outside in the afternoon.

Currently we're watching a play, in the same theatre the three of us visited before, on the exact same couch. Although I did use water magic to clean the couch several times that day, it still is somewhat embarrassing... I kinda squirted a lot on this couch, so...

The play this time is different from the last one, the female lead has a fiancé, which is probably the male lead, who is cheating on her with a commoner girl because the female lead is too 'basic'. Worse, the male lead is a whopping crown prince.

The female lead then broke the engagement and suddenly decided to make a business out of nowhere while her family was still doing absolutely fine, but the said business still somehow succeeded tremendously in the span of like, three weeks.

Oh, and she also found a cute boy who is actually the third prince disguised as a commoner for some reason, and is absolutely smitten with her. But she is the female lead, so she didn't realize a thing anyway.

Aaaand she got together with the scumbag prince in the end. Bruh.

I'm starting to suspect that whoever wrote these scripts is a Saint who read too much Otome Isekai manhwa in their past life. There's no way else, this is uncannily similar to that stuff.

''The nobles here are actually similar to that?'' Anastasia asked Christina curiously.

''No, absolutely not, no prince of ours is going to abandon his fiancé because she is too 'boring', like he said. That prince is going to die real fast.'' Christina replied.

''That makes sense, but I guess like this is more entertaining.''

''Yeah.''

----- 

After that, we went on the streets following the Sweetmaster Emy, and we ate a lot of delicious stuff. Emy is truly a blessing, must protect. 

We only split up when it was 6 P.M, after going through a theme park and visiting the colosseum. It was a lot of fun.

I hope we can hang out like this more in the future.
