Chapter 238: Roderick during the Easter Egg Hunt... (1)
"Principal Alberta, what on earth are you doing? Isn't this a student activity? Why are you joining in the fun in casual clothes..."
Alfred quietly questioned Alberta who was using transformation magic.
"Ah...it's you, Al. Are you planning to steal my hunting ground?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious as to why you're messing around here instead of doing your job."
"Slacking off? No way, I've been working very hard!"
Alberta replied.
When she turned her head to look at Alfred angrily, the magic in her hand did not stop. The elf dragons were still collecting the lottery tickets at a rapid speed. In a sense, she was indeed very busy.
"No, I mean why you pretend to be a student."
"Of course, we're collecting some of the high-value prizes in advance. If I collect these prizes, it's like the school giving them away and then collecting them right back. We can save a lot of money for next year."
Alberta sounded smug as she explained, leaving Alfred speechless for a moment.
"Isn't that a bit too petty?"
(You are a member of the royal family of the Elf Empire after all~!)
Alfred complained in his mind.
"Whose fault do you think it is... Hmm? I can't seem to put the blame on you... Forget it, you destroyed the barrier and walls of the arena last time, and you broke through the outer wall of the main castle some time ago.
I have already sent the bill for the repairs to the Electre family. Be careful or you might get scolded by Ron later."
Alberta changed the subject, grinning evilly.
"I won't be scolded for that little bit of money. At most, it will just be a small deduction from my pocket money."
Alfred drew a line with his thumb and index finger and smiled back at Alberta.
"Tsk, you are such an unpleasant brat. You should just be obedient and let adults tease you at times like this and show some cute reactions."
"That's a shame. Even if you, Principal Alberta, think I'm cute, it won't do me any good, right?"
Alfred shrugged his shoulders, not taking Alberta's complaints seriously at all.
"Oooooh~ Damn it~"
"I'm not kidding you. Just work hard on it. I'll go look somewhere else."
Alfred said goodbye to Alberta and was about to leave when Alberta stopped him.
"Wait a minute. How much of what you said is true?"
"All of it, do you believe it, Principal?"
Alfred turned around and smiled in response.
"I believe you~ But if you dare to lie to me, you will be in trouble."
Alberta said.
"Another thing is, don't just die easily. Because Ron and Carolina love you very much, and Michelle also likes your appearance. If they come to me to complain, I can't stand it."
"Don't worry, Principal Alberta. I still want to enjoy life leisurely with Sister Rose and Lily. I don't plan to die easily."
"Are there really only those two girls? Never mind. You are also a kid born in the Elect family. Take care of yourself. Be careful not to get stabbed by a woman someday."
Alberta waved her hand, signaling Alfred to leave quickly.

—Roderick—
“Huh~Huh, are those guys monsters? Why can they run so fast…”
Rodrek leaned his hands on the pillars of the corridor, breathing heavily and complaining.
The reason why he was so tired was because he was competing with a group of students for a hunting ground where a lot of Easter eggs were flying.
Although they were competing for the lead, Roderick was simply unable to outrun his opponents and was left far behind early on.
Even if he arrived at the place now, the Easter eggs and the like would have been hunted down by that group of students, right?
(Forget it, forget it. I'd better take a break. If it were in the game, there should be a few hidden areas where a lot of Easter eggs would be gathered in the afternoon. I can go there then.)
Roderick decisively chose to give up and planned to find a place to rest for a while.
In addition to students who participated in the Easter egg hunt, there were also students who did not like this kind of activity and set up dessert and drink stalls in front of the main castle.
There were also some stalls that were said to have delicious food, and Roderick planned to spend some time there.
Just as Roderick was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in some delicate part of his body.
His anus tightened.
“Wuwaa?! W-What the hell!?”
Roderick covered his butt and let out a very shrill cry.
After calming down a little, he noticed that an Easter egg that looked slightly larger than a quail egg was flying around in the aisle.
It seemed like this was the thing that hit his butt just now.
Fortunately, I didn't go in directly.
Roderick was very glad that he did not open the door to a new world because of this broken Easter egg.
Angrily, he raised the tracking slingshot and fired small stones that he had picked up in the yard at the flying eggs.
Perhaps because of the irregular shape of the stone, Roderick's attack barely grazed the egg and did not knock it down directly.
(Tsk, it turns out that this isn’t a special projectile. The tracking ability of this slingshot is just like garbage…)
Roderick cursed in his heart.
Through the knowledge in the game, he already knew the existence of the tracking slingshot, and he also knew that this thing was a magical weapon in the Easter event.
However, Roderick never had the credits to buy this thing.
Roderick's academic performance was very poor, so he didn't get many credits from his studies. In addition, he was unwilling to work part-time, and he always ordered expensive meals in the student cafeteria for the sake of face.
The credits have always been in a state of not being enough to cover the expenses.
Previously, thanks to Curitis' generous loan, he was able to maintain his daily life.
Now that Curitis inexplicably stopped lending him money, Roderick's life became very difficult.
The little money his mother and sisters sent him was not enough for him to squander.
Yesterday, Roderick used various methods and finally raised 2,000 credits to buy a tracking slingshot.
The slingshot was obtained smoothly.
However, the bullets that came with the slingshot had already been bought out in one go by some bastards who came from nowhere.
In desperation, Roderick had to pick up stones on the roadside as bullets.
However, perhaps because the stones on the roadside were irregular in shape and lacked the ability to attach to magic, the performance of the tracking slingshot was seriously affected.
It was clearly a tracing slingshot, but it often missed the target.
