Chapter 126
Milka’s eyes shone as she stood in the laboratory .
“Oh, you’re going to teach us?”
“Exactly . You can call me teacher from now on . ”
“Okay! Thank you, teacher!”
“Good . I expect you to study hard . ”
After that, I told Milka to bring the other apprentices to the laboratory .
Nia and Luchila came quickly .
Luchila was carrying Lord Gerberga .
“Mister Locke, what is it?”
“Is something the matter?”
And so I told them that Philly would be teaching them as a private tutor from now on .
“Since you were both raised in tribes, I am sure you have been educated already, but there are things that you should know about the kingdom of Mendilibar . ”
“Yes . Thank you . ”
“Do you mean it?”
“Well, it’s basically my duty to offer apprentices an education . ”
“Thank you . ”
“So you must call Philly your teacher from now on . ”
“Yes!”
“Understood . ”
“Cluck-cluck!”
Lord Gerberga answered as well .
“That being said, Nia is also an Adventurer, so she may not be able to join classes every day…”
“Yes, but I will try hard to learn as much as I can in the time I have!”
My apprentices were quite eager, it seemed . That was very promising .
Suddenly, I realized that it was nearly evening . And so we headed for the dining hall .
The laboratory was connected to the secret passage .
And you entered it through the mansion’s library .
And while we passed through it, I got the idea of using the library as a classroom .
“Perhaps I could have some desks prepared so that you could study in the library . ”
“Oh yes, that seems like a good idea . ”
Philly agreed .
Most of the furniture here was brought on the assumption that only one person would be using the room .
But it was rather large and had plenty of space for desks .
“If you need any stationery supplies, just tell me . ”
“Hmm . I will make a list then . ”
“And let me know if you require any books . ”
I was now able to withdraw my funds from my Adventurer days .
And I had received ample reward money as well . So there was a decent fortune sitting there .
Philly thought about it for a while .
“Oh . I would like to bring some of the books from my house…”
“I can help you carry them!”
Milka said eagerly .

“No, you should start preparing for dinner, Milka . ”
“Oh, yes . It’s nearly time! Alright . ”
Milka dashed away to the kitchen .
“Since Milka is busy, I could go with you to the Marquis’s house and help you carry them?”
“Would you?”
“It’s only two buildings away . ”
“Oh, yes . We were neighbors, now that I think about it . ”
But then again, it was two houses, but these were the mansions of nobles .
So it took about three minutes to walk .
“Let’s go then . ”
And so Philly pulled a hood over her face before we left .
Nia and Luchila accompanied us as we went to Marquis Mastafon’s mansion .
Grulf, Tama and Lord Gerbera as well .
“Grulf . We’re not going for a walk . Stop running . ”
“Grr?”
He tilted his head to the side as he panted .
A guard was standing in front of the house .
He was probably sent from the royal palace .
Philly addressed him first .
“Good evening . ”
“Eh?”

The guard looked at the hooded girl with confusion and without recognition .
But then he quickly saw me and bowed silently .
I guess he knew all about me then .
He might have been sent from the privy council .
We then entered the mansion and headed for Philly’s room .
It was almost empty . Most of her stuff was gone .
“It would have been dangerous to leave books and records related to alchemy . And so they were taken to the palace . ”
“I see . Then what are we supposed to carry?”
“Hmm . I was thinking about the books on the shelf over here . ”
So saying, Philly went to the next room .
Here, there were a lot of normal books that had nothing to do with alchemy .
“Teacher . Do you want us to carry these?”
“Yes, Luchila . Thank you . ”
“I will help too . ”
Luchila and Nia were very eager .
“Well, books are quite heavy . I think we better put them in my magic bag . ”
“Understood . ”
And so I held the bag open as Luchila and Nia brought the books over and put them inside .
“There are more over here . ”
They also carried books from the Marquis’s study . There were several dozen in all .

“Hmm, how about this desk? It looks perfect for the library . ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes . Father and mother intend on buying new furniture when they return . ”
“I see . ”
I guess it was because the dark ones had lived here . It probably felt like bad luck now .
But I didn’t care about such things as long as they weren’t actually cursed, and so I was grateful for this idea .
And so we picked up a few desks and chairs that looked like they would fit nicely into the library, and threw them into the magic bag .
“Now we have plenty of teaching materials . And since we have desks and chairs, we can start studying immediately . ”
Philly said with much satisfaction .
And then we returned home .
Grulf tried to start running again, and I had to hold him back .
“Grulf, you ran so much this morning already . And yet you still want to run?”
“Grr . ”
Not only had he been running, but he had gotten quite tired after it all .
But he seemed to be able to recover very quickly .
I thought about this as we reached the mansion and noticed that there were two people waiting for us in front of the gate .
“Yes . ”
“I think you might want to hide your face, Philly . ”
“You’re probably right . ”
She wasn’t like Lord Gerberga, who looked like an average chicken at a glance .
It would be very troublesome if any of the vampires’ servants saw her .
