Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Chapter 69



Chapter 69

Simon looked down at her with a blank expression.

N-Nefthis?

Ah! It's food! Food!

Nefthis ran in quick, short steps and climbed up Simon's chair while whimpering. Soon, her eyes twinkled and she had to gulp down her saliva.

Kyaaaaah! Who is this kid?

Shes sooooo adorable!

Meilyn and Camibarez screamed and made a fuss, looking at Nefthis.

Nefthis tilted her head, glancing to the side with her innocent eyes.

Dont tell me, do they not know?

Simon stretched out his arms in fright.

H-Hold on, guys!

Do you want some snacks?

Yeah!

As Nefthis nodded quickly, Meilyn stroked Nefhis head while looking like she was about to die from the cuteness.

Camibarez immediately turned to look at Rick.

Can we feed her, Rick?

Huh? Yeahhh

Yaay!

Nefthis hurriedly picked up the snacks and began to stuff them in her mouth after permission was granted.

Both her cheeks were puffy and plump. She said with a smile on her face,

Dewicious!

Kyaaaaaaaaaah!

Do you wanna eat this too?

Meilyn tore the wrapper and held out a cookie. Nefthis opened her mouth wide and took a large bite.

Nom nom!

She ate iiiit!

Me too! I wanna do it too!

The situation was starting to hit rock bottom.

Hold on, guys! This person is!

Youre so cute~ Whats your name?

While frantically putting food in her mouth, she smiled broadly at Camibarez gentle question.

Yeah! My name is Nefthis!

Hehe!

So cute!

They dont believe her at all!!

Most of the continents people who werent Kizen officials didnt know that the so-called 300-year-old Nefthis was actually a small child.

That was because she hadnt appeared in any official meetings for decades, and only moved behind the name of Kizen. Also, she sometimes took on the form of something other than a girl when she had to show up.

Most of all, the weight and fear of the name Nefthis had given rise to many imaginative speculations.

The people of the continent imagined Nefthis as a terrible witch that transcended humanity, something between human and monster.

Of course, rumors that Nefthis looked like a little girl were also known, but Meilyn and Camibarez had no such suspicion right now.

They just werent capable of thinking about the fact that Nefthis could appear here right now.

Wh-What should I do?

Simon felt like he was looking at a ticking time bomb getting close to zero.

On the other hand, Rick, who excelled at information, was moving to another place while ignoring them as if he had already finished grasping the situation.

Rick! Do something!

Simon tried to signal to Rick with his hands, but Rick couldnt see Simon. He was sitting away from them, face hardened

Rick?

Belatedly, Camibarez turned and looked at Rick. He was kneeling on the chair with a stiff face.

Why did you just start kneeling?

Wh-What are you talking about?! Ive been sitting like this for my entire life!

Said Rick, sweating profusely.

Even if he wanted to tell them, Nefthis kept his mouth shut by occasionally giving Rick a strange gaze.

Is it delicious?

Meilyn showed a reaction befitting a girl her age for the first time in a while.

As she stroked her hair, Nefthis smiled pleasantly.

Yeah! Its dewdicious!

Awwwww, my heart hurts

Its my first time seeing such a pretty girl!

After eating snacks to her hearts content and tapping her small stomach, Nefthis jumped out of her chair. Then, she ran to Simons side, took his hand, and said,

Simon! Can I see you for a moment?

Ah, yes.

The two left the lecture room.

Simon quickly said,

Nefthis, Ill apologize on their behalf. They couldnt recognize you, so

Hehe, dont mind it! It happens all the time anyway! The snacks were delicious too.

She said while smiling. Then, she stopped walking and stared into Simons eyes. Simon also stopped his steps and waited for her.

Hmm.

She gave a wry smile.

So you finally obtained your Legion.

!!

Simon felt his heart sink. She returned to her childish smile again and took Simons hand.

This isnt really the place to talk about it, so shall we move someplace else?

What?

Nefthis jumped up while holding Simons hand.

With the sensation of his legs suddenly floating, Simon felt as though he had gone beyond all dimensions of space.

When he opened his eyes, the surroundings had changed into another place.

Where in the world is this place?

It was someones room.

There was a combination of cream and pink wallpapers, the curtains were frilled, and displayed on the shelves were decorative items and cute stuffed animals. The room had a really pleasant smell.

Dont tell me

Simon turned his head to look at the girl who was outwardly the most suited to this room.

I didnt know you had this kind of taste, Nefthis

This isnt my room, though.

What?

At that moment, there was the sound of a blanket being pulled behind him.Simon looked back in shock.

He could see a pretty girl with red eyes, a blank face, and dark hair down to her back that still had some moisture remaining.

L-Lorain!

Simons face flushed red.

Lorain was wearing comfortable shorts she wore at home, and only wore undergarments to cover her top.

She covered her body with her arms with an expressionless face and looked at Nefthis.

Mother.

Yeah?

When youre teleporting a guy into my room, youre just trying to mess with me, right?

What are you saying?!

Nefthis put her hands on her hips and proudly said,

Im here because I have something to tell you guys at the same time!

Haaaah.

Letting out a deep sigh, her red eyes flashed fiercely.

Youre always like this, Mother.

Hmph. Same goes for you!

Nefthis jumped around.

You overslept again even though its an exam period, didnt you? Look at Simon. Hes even doing group study, gathering his group members by himself!

Ill take care of myself.

Dont you know that I keep getting messages from Professors these days?

Even if I dont know those little formulas, it has nothing to do with my skills!

A bloody atmosphere rose up between them.

Judging from the content, it was a typical fight between a mother and a rebellious daughter, but if you looked at it from a step back, it could be seen as nothing but a fight between sisters.

I wanna go back to my dorm.

Simon was attached to the wall, face pale after suddenly being caught up in the worlds scariest mother and daughter fight.

Please just hurry up and finish it, mother. And Simon?

Ah, yes?

Could you quit glancing at me?

Simon shed tears inwardly.

Its not that Im looking at you because I want to.

* * *

* * *

Lorain got up from the bed and pulled out some clothes from the hanger, wrapping them around her body. Simon could finally look at her properly now.

Well, Simon! First of all, about the story you reported.

Said Nefthis after planting her butt on a nearby chair.

The story I reported?

Yeah! About the spy that infiltrated the Kizen.

So she heard it from Lorain.

Simon waited for her next words nervously.

Ive assigned trustworthy servants for investigations for now. Were also getting clues little by little.

Ah, thats a relief.

But the reason why I came to you is to warn you.

Nefthis continued in a serious voice.

I think that traitor knows your identity.

Simon felt his heart sinking. Nefthis slowly continued,

Do you remember that Cyclops Evaluation last time? The reason why the Cyclops that your group faced at that time was particularly strong wasnt because of the side effects of drugs or curses during the capture, but because someone deliberately took some measures.

!

Nefthis smiled.

Youd of course know what their intentions were even if I didnt say it, right?

Disguising it as an accidental death.

Simon gulped.

Simon.

This time, Lorain opened her mouth.

Since you said you met them in the Forbidden Forest, the spy is far more likely to be at the school than at the Kizen Headquarters. If you stay here, your life may continue to be at risk.

Yup. Something like that.

Nefthis folded her arms while smiling with her eyes.

Lorain was very worried about you, you know!

Mother!!

Anyway, do you really not want to accept Kizens protection measures?

Simon firmly shut his mouth.

If youre worried about being expelled from Kizen, I can process it as repetition like your roommate, Kajann. Just go back to your hometown until the case is resolved and start over next year.

Im really grateful for your concern, but I wont change my mind.

Simon slowly raised his head up.

I think my current life is worth protecting and taking this risk. Please let me remain in the school. Im also looking for clues on my own, so it should be a help.

Lorain bit her lip, making a complicated face, and Nefthis nodded her head with a light heart.

Actually, I knew youd obviously say that! Youre Richards son, after all.

She took out a silver necklace from her subspace. As Simon looked at it, wondering what it was, she motioned for him to lower his body.

Simon quickly knelt down on one knee. Nefthis got on her tiptoes and hung the necklace directly on Simons neck.

Whats this?

An artifact. There are a lot of troubles happening on the continent recently, so I cant just focus on you, you see. So Ill give you this. The power contained in this necklace will protect you.

Simon gulped as he saw the dazzling light coming off the necklace.

It wasnt hard to guess that it was more expensive than anything he owned.

If this artifact warns you of danger, you must stop everything youre doing and leave the place right away. You know what this means, right?

Yes. Ill mark your words.

And

Nefthis turned to look at Lorain.

You take care of Simon too, please.

I know, Mother.

She answered her primly. Then, Nefthis jumped up onto the bed.

Waaaake up! Hurry on and waaaake uuuup!

Th-That hurts!

Simon.

Nefthis pulled Lorains arm and looked back at Simon.

Ill send you back to where you were studying. Bring this lazy bastard with you!

Mother!

Lorain shouted with a bewildered expression,

Why am I going there?

Hmph! Youre never gonna step outside the house if I dont do this!

Its study! Its going to be awkward if I join, and Ill be a nuisance to Simons friends!

Lorain shouted and pushed Nefthis arm away with force, flopping her down on the bed.

Sob.

Tears suddenly began to form in her eyes.

Hic. Huuu! Uwaaaah! My daughter keeps on troubling me all the time! Idiot Idiot! Lorain is such an idiiiooot!

Nefthis flailing her arms and legs about resembled the typical image of a child throwing a tantrum.

Simon was just reading their countenance, not knowing what to do, and Lorain let out a deep sigh before pressing her forehead as though feeling a little guilty.

Haaah Fine. Ill go.

Mhm mhm! Then Im counting on you with Lorain, Simon!

Nefthis, who stopped crying immediately, came down from the bed. Simon was a little perplexed by her complete change in attitude, but Lorain grunted and opened the closet as though used to it.

Just come out when you guys are ready!

Nefthis left the room while humming. Lorain took a uniform out of her closet.

Sorry, Ill stay silent for an hour or so and take my leave.

Nah, nah. Were happy to have more study members.

Lorain suddenly stopped moving and stared at Simons face.

Wh-Whats wrong?

Are you planning on watching me change?

Simon, whose face turned red at those words, hurriedly ran out.

* * *

After a while, Lorain joined Group 7s study session.

Meilyn, Camibarez, and Rick recognized the big name, Lorain, and their faces turned pale.

There was an awkward atmosphere running in the lecture room as the five were seated together. Only the eyes were busy moving, glancing at her.

Meilyn was staring at Simons face as if asking for an explanation, and Rick was wishing that he had around ten hearts.

To think that he just saw Nefthis, and now Lorain!

This is Lorain from Class L.

Simon on the other hand introduced Lorain with a smile as if it was nothing.

She wants to study together, at least for today. Would that be alright?

The three quickly nodded their heads. Even if it wasnt okay, it had to be okay.

After looking around with an expressionless face, Lorain began to say something in a calm voice.
