Chapter 40: 40
T/N: Today I want to give another big thank you to my Cookie Donor Rich! Thank you again for the sweets ❤
“Over here,” Liz-san says, guiding me right up to the door of the school building .
… . . To think that I would end up being indebted to the heroine like this .
“Did you come here to meet someone?” she asks, glancing down at me with those emerald green eyes of hers .
Such a striking color . How can a real person have such pretty eyes… . . They’re so big and deep, I feel like I’m falling into them .
“Alicichan?”
“Huh? Oh, umm… . . I’m very grateful to you for showing me the way . Then, good day,” I say before turning on my heel and fleeing into the school building .
I can’t very well tell Liz-san that I came to meet her . Wouldn’t that make it look like I’m a fan of hers or something? So I walk in an arbitrary direction away from her, striding purposefully as if I’m searching for someone .
When I’m a good distance away, I let myself take in my surroundings more and am once again awed by just how beautiful this school is . And it isn’t just beautiful, it’s immaculately clean . There doesn’t seem to be even a spec of dust anywhere .

I wonder if they use magic to clean it?
I’m also somewhat surprised because for as far as I’ve walked, I haven’t seen even a single other person . Could it be that class is in session right now… . ?
I must have missed the proper timing for coming here .
… . . Since no one’s around at the moment though, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to take a little tour, right? I will be enrolling as a student here in five years after all… So, let’s take a look around .
I continue to stride down the overly spacious corridor .
All these rooms lead to lecture halls, huh? I can hear teacher’s voices seeping out from each of them . And every topic sounds so interesting . I really want to sit in on one of the lectures, but I shouldn’t… . I need to hold back so I can fully enjoy myself when I finally get to enroll . I just need to be patient .
At the end of the corridor I come upon a small wooden door . It looks like something straight out of a fairytale . Just what could be on the other side?

Ahh, I’m so curious… . I want to know! Should I just go in?
If this room just so happens to be off-limits to students… . So much the better! I can show off just how malevolent I am!
What a delicious opportunity~

I enthusiastically turn the knob and throw open the door .
Or at least I try to, but the door won’t budge . Could it be locked?
… . No way, I don’t want that!
With all my might I try pushing and pulling… . until suddenly a loud bang erupts through the hallway, startling me . At the same time, I lurch backwards, ending up sprawled on the floor .
… . . It’s open . I guess the door was meant to be pulled, not pushed .

I stand up while patting the dirt off my dress and notice the faint scent of books wafting towards me… . . Could this door lead to a library?
I walk in, entranced, and the moment my foot steps into the room I’m overcome with the smell of paper, parchment, and leather; all those unique booky aromas .
What a wonderful place!
Instead of a room built to house books, it seems more like a room created to relax in . Sunlight streams in through huge windows, illuminating handsome wooden desks and armchairs . Books lay haphazardly spread about the room, giving it a comfortable, lived in atmosphere .
I take in a deep breath and feel myself instantly relax . I could spend a whole lifetime in a place like this .

I leisurely make my way towards the far side of the room, soaking it all in . At the very back, I notice a dark, empty wall .
… . . A blackboard?

I walk over to it .
From up close, it’s quite impressive . It’s nearly twice my height! How was this even built? It’s huge! Those slabs could never have fit through the door .
I gaze at it for a moment before I realize that there is something written on it towards the top . I squint and crane my head back to get a better look .
“Methods for taking over the Ravaal Kingdom,” and just beneath that, “Feel free to offer suggestions regardless of status or position . ”
The Ravaal Kingdom… . . Taking over… . . At these words, my brain starts running on overdrive .
I drag a chair over to the board and hop up onto it . Absentmindedly I pick up a piece of chalk and then I let my thoughts fly, filling the black board with white .
T/N: So… Any of you history buffs want to make a prediction?? Based off the very limited knowledge we gained about the Ravaal Kingdom from chapter 14? Mad props to anybody that can actually guess based off just that hahaha . I personally have zero clue XD
