I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

Chapter 83: The Sacred Day Of Lady Elise (4)

Auditorium.

As the name ‘auditorium’ suggests, it was ‘very’ large.

It was the largest building in the ‘Sacred Academy’ by size.

Large enough that there would still be room left even after accommodating all the students and their food.

“Ah… finally, it’s over.”

Evelyn stretched and shook her head as she spoke.

“Why does ‘just one last thing’ keep coming up endlessly?”

“Right… But still, it’s all over once we have the sacred meal.”

Even though it’s called a ‘sacred meal,’ nothing particularly special was served.

It consisted of just low-alcohol wine and light snacks.

-What are we going to do if we give alcohol to students when there are afternoon lectures left?

The reason for making students come to school on ‘Goddess Elise’s Day’ was to pray together in the auditorium…

Since the professors knew they would drink wine during the sacred meal, they implicitly made the afternoon classes self-study, so there were no issues.

“What’s with you? You don’t seem bored. I thought it lasted like 10 hours.”

“No, I was so bored I almost died.”

In fact, it wasn’t really boring because, as Evelyn said, he was having eye conversations with Yuris, who was sitting on the platform as a ‘saint candidate.’

‘Master!! Yuris is here!!’

When our eyes met and then looked away, she would twitch her body as if begging for attention, just like a real puppy.

‘…Could Yuris actually be a beastkin?’

Going back through her lineage, there must be a beastkin among Yuris’s ancestors.

“Ian, are you going to drink?”

“Maybe just a light drink? What about you, Evelyn?”

“If you drink, I’ll drink.”

“Okay, then I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit.”

“Alright, hurry back. I’ll stay with Estel.”

“…Be right back, Ian.”

“Huh? When did you two become so close?”

I was surprised.

I had hoped they would become close, but I thought they were still just friends of a friend, only talking when I was mediating…

Now it seemed like they had truly become friends.

“Got a problem with that?”

“No problem, just happy to see it.”

“Hmph! Just go to the bathroom and come back.”

“Okay, Evelyn. Estel. I’ll be right back.”

“…Okay. Be quick.”

Thud- Thud-

While all the students were enjoying the sacred meal, I quietly slipped out of the auditorium.

ㅇㅇ(89.74): Where?

Sacred Power Container■: I’m at the forest trail behind the auditorium right now!!

ㅇㅇ(89.74): Ok. On my way.

Following the message, I entered the trail and saw Sister Yuris wearing her nun’s habit.

“Yuris.”

“Master!!!”

Thud-!!

As soon as I called her name, Yuris ran towards me with her arms wide open.

-Stop!!!

…I wanted to say that for a moment, but she was too cute, so I let it be.

Thud-!!

Wrapped in bandages, Yuris’s chest perfectly fulfilled the role of a soft cushion despite the wrappings.

“Ugh… Master…! Master…!”

“Yuris, I told you to call me Ian when we’re outside. What if someone hears?”

“Ah… I’m sorry… I thought it would be okay since no one is around…”

“Sigh… Can’t be helped. Alright, you can call me Master now, but only here.”

“Ah! Yes… sigh…!!”

Swoosh- Swoosh-

“Do you like it when you call me Master?”

“Yes… I like it… Master… I want to see you… every day….”

“Someday, that will happen.”

“Yes… Hehe… When that happens… Ah! Master, here! Please accept this gift!!”

Swoop-!

Yuris, with her hand inside her clothes, pulled out a long gift box from between her breasts and handed it to me.

The box was warm with body heat, heavy, and quite large.

‘…It’s huge?’

Perhaps as the Sacred Power Container was large, so was her heart.

I would be happy to receive anything, but the size of the box was much larger than expected.

“Is it okay to open it now?”

“Yes!! It’s okay!!”

Yuris mentioned it was the best gift, surpassing even chest chocolates, which I couldn’t even imagine.

Crack-! Creak-!

As I carefully unwrapped the packaging…

“…..?”

It was too big to be a candied fruit.

It was huge, thick, heavy, and it was a ‘cucumber’.

…Yes, literally a ‘cucumber candied fruit’.

“How is it!!! This is the ‘Super Miracle Giant Cucumber Candied Fruit’ sold only in 5 limited pieces every year for Goddess Elise’s Day!! It, It was really hard to get. Ah…!!”

It was such a bizarre food that I wondered if it was a joke, but what was more surprising was that they actually sell this in stores.

‘…Are they crazy.’

A world where they sold such things for money…

Perhaps this world really did deserve to be destroyed.

“Try it!!! Master!!! It, It will really… taste good!!!”

Yuris, with incredibly serious eyes and drooling from her mouth, said to me.

‘…Alright.’

Yuris was insisting so much, wasn’t she?

Maybe it was just my prejudice, and it could actually be delicious.

Crunch-!

…Well.

As expected, knowing something was trash didn’t mean you had to taste it to confirm.

The lukewarm juice and the sweetness of the sugar from the cucumber did not blend at all in my mouth, assaulting my taste buds.

‘I want to spit it out.’

This was a crime.

An inhumane result that showed no respect for the ingredients was here.

If it wasn’t for Yuris, I would have scolded them for playing with food.

“Ah!!! How is it!! It’s delicious, isn’t it!!…. I’m… jealous… The bitch has only tried the regular cucumber candied fruit, never the ‘Super Miracle Giant’ version… It must be delicious… really… so delicious…”

Surprisingly, Yuris seemed to frequently enjoy cucumber candied fruit based on the current conversation.

‘…Right. A person can be this cute but have lost their sense of taste!’

Even an angel like Yuris couldn’t be perfect being human.

“The bitch… even if she wanted to make it herself, it’s hard to find cucumbers of that size… Besides, that cucumber is not ordinary!… It’s from the Yellow Pansy family, at the beautiful vegetable competition…”

Yuris continued to chatter enthusiastically about the “cucumber candied fruit” afterwards, but none of it entered my ears.

‘I can’t eat this!!!’

My mind was entirely preoccupied with how to deal with this “monstrosity.”

I managed to eat the first bite without knowing, but I couldn’t bring myself to take a second.

…Should I take it with me later, saying I’ll eat it, and then secretly throw it away?

To throw away a gift from Yuris to me?

That’s absurd.

‘…Damn!!’

Even if it’s a monstrous food, wasn’t it given to me filled with affection for me!!

But still…

I couldn’t understand why she gave me “cucumber candied fruit” instead of “chest chocolate.”

“…Ah…. um…. Master?…. Perhaps…. you don’t like… the gift… I prepared?… Was it… a mistake… to give it?”

Then Yuris spoke to me with a downcast expression.

“No… That’s not it. I really like it.”

“Ah!! Th, that’s right!! I’m glad the effort I put into preparing it was worthwhile!!! Then, since I promised to give you chest chocolate next year… the year after that, I’ll give you…”

“Cucumber candied fruit is nice, but I think I prefer chocolate. It’d be great if you could prepare chocolate for me for the rest of my life.”

“Ah? Uh… Ah…. Ye, yes…. For the rest of… our lives…. Right…. Master and… bitch are… fated partners for life… naturally…”

“…But bitch, you said you haven’t tried this, right? Want to try?”

Since I couldn’t eat or throw it away, there was only one solution.

-Feed it to Yuris!

“Wha?!?!! No, no, no!… No!…. I mean… a little?.. Really.. just a tiny bit… curious… I’ve heard it’s very very tasty… Bu.. but… it’s okay… I can resist…”

“Do you want to eat?”

As I shook the candied cucumber, Yuris vehemently shook her head.

“No!!… No!…. For, for Master!… As a gift!… And… I… will… gain weight… I’ve… already eaten… too much recently… I’ve gained a little…”

Then, I remembered Yuris saying she ate all of that huge chocolate yesterday.

‘Is she a glutton?’

Swoosh-

“Wha?!.. Master?!”

As I touched her belly, Yuris made a surprised noise and stepped back.

“It doesn’t seem like you’ve gained weight?”

“Ah…!!.. Tha… that’s… okay… If I eat a lot… I don’t gain weight elsewhere… only my chest… grows…”

“…”

Yuris’s comment was slightly irritating even for me as a man.

“…Let’s not talk about that elsewhere. Only in front of the Master.”

“Hehe, I won’t! But sometimes you remind me of the principal… Uh!?”

Swoosh-

When I brought the candied cucumber close to her nose, Yuris made a face as if disgusted.

“Ha…! Ha!… No!.. Ma.. Master!… Uh…. This…!”

“…You want to eat it, right?”

“Gulp!… But… still… no!…. Ah… Uh…!”

“Your mouth says no, but your body is honest, right?”

I brought the candied cucumber to Yuris’s lips, now dripping with saliva.

“…Ah!… Uh!… Ha.. Uh..!… Uh…!… No.. but… Uh…”

Lick─

Eventually, Yuris couldn’t resist and began to lick it with her tongue out.

“Hu… Uh… Suck…!”

“Ha, you start sucking without permission… Does it taste good?”

“Ugh… I’m sorry!… chomp… But… I can’t resist!… Ah… chomp!… I’ll… I’ll just lick it!!… I won’t… eat it!!”

“It’s okay to eat.”

“Ah!… Uh!… Ah!… Ugh!!…. No, Master!… It’s a gift!… And!!.. if… if my chest… gets bigger!… chomp!… Ahh!… It’s delicious!… I really want to eat it…!”

Even just watching Yuris lick the candied cucumber made me feel a weird sensation, and I wanted to step back, but…

Quite some time had passed since I said I was going to the bathroom.

If we delayed any longer, Evelyn and Estelle might come looking for us.

‘…Let’s leave it for later.’

I whispered a victorious spell into Yuris’s ear.

“…It’s an order from Master. Eat.”

“Ah!.. sob… Ah… Ugh!…. Yes… Master… it’s… an order!… Can’t… help it, right?”

Swoosh-!

Yuris’s eyes sparkled as she nearly snatched the candied fruit from my hand.

Crunch-!

“Ugh!!!… Ah!!!… It’s delicious!!!”

“That’s right, our bitch eats well.”

“…. Ugh!! It’s… it’s actually not supposed to be eaten since it’s a gift from Master…. nom nom!!… But since Master ordered it, I can’t help it… nom nom!!”

Yuris, claiming she had no choice, happily munched on the cucumber candied fruit.

“Is it delicious?”

“Yes! It’s super super delicious!!! Really a super miracle taste!!! I love it!! It’s thrilling!! Always new!! Cucumber candied fruit is the best!! Ahh!! I’ve already eaten half of it. Ma… Master… I… really… is it okay if I eat all of this?”

“…Of course. I’m happier seeing my bitch eat delicious things than eating them myself.”

“Ahh…!! Ahh…!!… Right now… I’m so… happy… Eating ‘Super Miracle Giant Cucumber Candied Fruit’ and getting praised by Master… Is this… heaven…? nom nom”

Watching Yuris, who seemed almost to ascend to heaven while eating the cucumber candied fruit, I made up my mind.

“…Yeah, if the bitch is happy, then Master is happy too.”

I decided that if I ever married Yuris, she would never be allowed in the kitchen.
