Chapter 15: Food?
After giving the old pervert a kick in the shin, I made Sei walk up beside Yuiitsu to get away from that old man.
I looked back at him and I could see him on the ground holding his leg.
The place I kicked had a pale white glow with small green bubbles floating up and disappearing just like healing magic in the game.
Wait, I only kicked him lightly! Does he need to overreact so much and even use a frigging spell…
Before I thought he was a kind old man, but now I think I understand why he was so kind to us.
He’s just an old pervert, yup.
*Cough* *Cough* “Yuiitsu-san and Sei-san, I think you’re having a misunderstanding.”
“”What did we misunderstand?””
“About me being a pervert, I didn’t do anything.”
“”…””
“”Where were you looking?””
“Eh? At the nymph why?”
“Per-”
“-Vert”
“What? But…”
“No-“
“-Buts”
““Hmph!””
The old pervert just sighs in the background, but I completely ignore him. To deal with perverts, you have to be strong and shut them up entirely, or they’ll think you’re being a tsundere or something.
I learned that the hard way…
Before I didn’t know perverts could be so scary, until one literally snuck into my house telling me to stop being a tsundere to her! I was just trying to kindly reject her without hurting her feelings, but apparently that was being tsundere? In order to avoid having a second one like that, especially if it’s an old man, I have to be strong!
I look back at the woman that came out of the tree, according to what Mr. pervert just said, she should be a nymph, and she was still kneeling there waiting for my response.
Personally, I have no idea what to do in this situation. Well to be honest I doubt anyone does, but since I get a free servant, who am I to complain. But first I got to make sure of something.
“”Can you cook?””
As everyone knows, food is love, food is life, food is the cause of all my strife!
“Yes mistresses, I can”
Hallelujah!
Exotic other world food here I come!
Now I can try all those anime food I see in the game!
Roasted meat, omurice, ramen… they look so good in the game, although I’ve never been able to try some, but now I got my own personal fantasy chef!
I looked back at her to see her sweating profoundly.
“”Are you okay?””
“Ah, yes I’m totally fine, just… um… tired from absorbing all the mana, yes that’s it.”
… she’s hiding something…
I don’t know what, but clearly she’s hiding something.
In a low and menacing voice, I asked her,
“”What are you hiding?””
“Eeep”

My name, well I don’t have one.
I’ve been sitting here in this field for around a hundred years?
I was moved here by the headmaster of this academy around twenty year back, and grew here ever since.
Before that, I was just a normal tree in the forest nearby.
There were monsters in there and every day I just watch them go by while collecting mana.
My favorite thing to watch are those cute ones, but usually it just ends up as me watching them getting ripped to shreds and eaten by predators, which made me sad.
There’s not much to do, since we can’t really communicate with people or other trees without the help of powerful beings, due to us not able to ourselves.
Everyday just past normally, but when the headmaster moved me, I was scared out of my mind!
At the time, I thought I would be killed for my timber, but instead, he just planted me in the garden.
Things didn’t change much, only the scenery.
Instead of watching monsters, I now watch people walk around while collecting mana.
There are a few humans comparably cute to the monsters, and they don’t get ripped to shreds, which is nice.
After a while, every day became the same old route, but one day something amazing happened.
I caught a glimpse of our god!
The goddess of plants zoomed by and it amazed me how fast she can move. Once she was just a normal plant too you know, but slowly she grew stronger and now she’s a stronger than SS rank becoming one of the council heads in the Council of Gods.
Only mid-gods are allowed in the council and to this day, only 5 people have been able to reach that rank.
As for low-gods, there’re around fifty.
They’re just people who reached the SS rank and are the best at what they do. For instance, the low-god of war is extremely good at fighting war.
The reason there’re so many is due to them being immortal. When I say immortal, I mean they can’t die from old age, but they can still be killed.
Unlike the low-gods, mid-gods are those who ascended and actually gained the power to influence their element or race.
Together, the mid and low gods monitor the world, to make sure it isn’t destroyed, while protecting it from Outsiders at the same time.
But due to Outsiders being rare, mostly they just sit around and train, trying to advance.
As for high-gods, they’re all beings created by the goddess herself, so no one knows how to become one.
They’re elusive beings that are rarely seen around or found. And as for what they do, no one knows. From names, gender, almost everything about high-gods are unknown.
Even the Council of Gods can’t find them.
But we all know they exist because without them, their element and race go extinct as well.
And while I was daydreaming about being a god and actually being able to move and communicate, I saw the headmaster walk by with what seems to be a new students.
As they got closer, at first, I thought it was just a single new students, but then I noticed how wrong I was.
There were two peerless beauty, ones that were so beautiful, it was beyond this world!
They looked exactly the same with the perfect face as if crafted by the goddess herself, combined with their closed eyes, it gave them a mysterious yet cute beauty sort of feel.
The second one was behind the first hiding.
The white one with her white wings gave me the feeling she was an angel, and the black one with her black wings looked like a fallen.
Poor girls, I kind of feel bad for them.
Fallen are angels who have betrayed the high-god of light and worshipped the high-god of darkness.
The fallen are persecuted by angels and the other way around too, and since these two are so close without any infights, it means they are persecuted by both races.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Both fallen and angels are at least B+ rank monsters, so these two must be strong to be alive after being persecuted.
As I watched them following behind the headmaster, trying to figure out why they’re here, the black one suddenly took a bottle out of thin air and moved away from the white one revealing the hideous wound across her body.
Across her body, there was a gash that went the whole way through!
How is she alive!?
She chugged the bottle of red liquid and immediately covered her mouth. With a clearly unhappy face, she ran in my direction.
‘I’m sorry! I don’t know what I did wrong, but I’ll apologize. PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!’
Ignoring my pleas, she continued to run at me.
Not wanting to see my own end, I looked away, waiting for my dark end to come…
…
Still waiting…
Geez woman, can you hurry it up!
Looking back, I saw she just standing there. Standing over a pool of red liquid that was beside me emitting a healing aura. Just by being near it, I can feel it's power slowly healing my soul.
Is that for me?
Free stuff, so why not.
I slowly absorbed the liquid, but the moment I touched it, I felt a giant wave of mana washing over me.
It was a massive amount of pure mana giving off a healing presence.
The more I took in, the better I felt.
I couldn’t help myself, it felt so good absorbing it!
I kept absorbing not even caring about my surroundings because absorbing this weird red liquid felt that good!
After I finished absorbing it all, I felt weird.
I felt as if I was in a cage, it was a soft cage that felt good to be in, but I suddenly had an urge to go out of it.
Reaching my arms out, I slowly pushed myself out of the cage.
Ahhhh the feeling of wind on my skin feels so good.
…
Wait skin?
I looked down only to notice that I actually had a body now!
After I checked my status, I was amazed!
Before I was just a tree, a normal everyday tree that’s G rank. Even a normal human child is F rank since they can attack, but being a tree I couldn’t do anything.
But now, I’m B+ rank!
Not only that, I’m even a variant!
Then chances of being a variant is like one in thousands or more, it’s extremely rare!
I’m amazing now!
This person has bestowed me with such a blessing I will serve her for life!
I immediately knelt before her to show my loyalty, but only to be asked back after the white one kicked the headmaster. Poor guy, I could feel as if a bone broke, I don’t know how, but I just can.
“”Can you cook?””
…
…
Mistresses, I think you’re forgetting I was a tree right? OF COURSE I CAN’T COOK!
But they had an expression that was like, ‘if you can’t, then we do not need you’.
In order to repay them, I lied through my teeth, saying I could, but the moment I did, they stopped talking and just stood there.
And I waited…
I could clearly feel cold sweat pouring down my back…
""Are you okay?""
Hearing that, I instantly make an excuse.
Please don’t find out, please don’t find out, please…
Like a mantra I chanted it in my mind, but reality is harsh.
In a low and menacing voice, they asked,
“”What are you hiding?””
“Eeep”
They know!
What do I do!
Ok don’t panic everything is going to be okay, I’ll just tell them the truth and beg for forgiveness.
But before I could, they said,
“”Well, it’s fine, we don’t need to know, you just have to be able to cook.””
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
What do I do!
Mistresses I can’t cook!
“”Come follow us.”
Turning around, they went back to the headmaster, and I followed, as he slowly explained to them about the misunderstanding of him being a pervert.
I could see them having an embarrassed face while looking down!
IT WAS CUTE BEYOND COMPARE!
Ahhh I felt like I was in heaven again, as good as drinking that red stuff.
Today I have learned, cuteness is justice.
I wanted to just go up and hug them, but I controlled myself, since they are my mistresses.
As I was daydreaming, it seems we have arrived at our destination.
---
Fu… it seems I misunderstood.
Considering his old age, I guess it makes more sense that he was surprised by what happened just like me and not staring at her chest for personal reasons.
After his explanation, I was extremely embarrassed, so we passed the rest of the way in awkward silence.
Following behind me is that dryad girl, I have to do something about her, since she’s wearing just leaves.
Thankfully currently it’s in the middle of the night, so we didn’t get caught up in any trouble along the way.
After a while, we arrived at a castle…
…
That’s right a castle…
You know, the academy itself was modest in appearance, but this, this takes the cake.
It was three times taller than the academy itself, and just as big too.
“Come, I’ll show you to your room.”
Following behind the headmaster, my face cramped more and more looking at the inside.
Compared to the hallways in the academy, this is insane!
There was a red carpet, chandeliers of glass? Or is that diamond? With the walls painted gold filled with paintings and flower vases on both sides.
…
I was curious beyond compare,
“”Why…””
Before I could finish the sentence, the headmaster answered in a matter of fact manner,
“Nobles.”
…
Can confirm, fantasy setting is in full throttle right now…
Following behind the headmaster, I know I’ll get lost again, I just know it… *Sigh*
Turning around multiple corners, going up and down multiple stairs, we finally stopped in front of a door that was also painted gold…
“Well, here we are, room 248. There’s a maid inside that will help you settle down and teach you what you need to know.”
I took the key out of the inventory and hid both my wings and swords. I left the clothing because I still haven’t gotten my uniform yet.
And as for the headmaster, he just teleported away leaving us there.
Wait! I still don’t know where the cafeteria is!
