Arriving at the academy, we entered with transparent magic through the main gate like we did when we came out.
However, unlike then, it was afternoon, so I could see some students walking around.
Recalling Felix’s words that he couldn’t cast a mute spell, I kept my mouth shut and walked with light footsteps as quiet as possible.
Fortunately, the little boy was still playing in his dreamland, so I didn’t have to worry.
When we arrived at the dormitory safely without being caught by people, I naturally broke up with Felix and moved in the direction of the Girl’s dormitory.
No, I was not moving but was about to move.
But suddenly Felix grabbed my arm.
“Where are you going?”
“Of course to my room”
I whispered softly as I saw a girl walking far away.
I tried to get in before the girl came closer to me to prevent us from being caught, but Felix wouldn’t let go of my arm.
“What’s wrong?”
“Come to my room.”
“What…… Why?”
Felix glanced down at the little boy in my hand, who was still sleeping quietly leaning his chubby cheeks on my shoulder
“Can you take care of the Kid alone when he wakes
up?”
“Oh… Hmm..?”
“I guess you also changed his diaper alone. Well, it’s fine with me if you can take care of him alone.”
At that word, the golden product of the little boy I saw in the morning flashed in front of my eyes.
My nose twitched as if it had remembered the smell.
Felix, who was looking at my distorted expression, began to walk alone towards the Boy’s dormitory with a somehow relieved look.
“Wait. Wait, wait, wait.”
I quickly chased him as he moved away.
Ironically, he never looked back at me until we arrived at his room.
Felix’s room, which I came back after a few days, was so cold, like there was not much difference between the temperature on the hallway and the room.
‘William hasn’t returned yet…?’
Unlike Felix, who went inside without hesitation, I was looking around the room from the hallway, while Felix answered as if he read my thoughts.
“William will return on the evening of the last day of Maxmas holidays.”
“That’s a relief.’
I went into the room after checking that no one was passing by the hallway.
I still didn’t want to enter other people’s dorm rooms, but I can’t help it because I have the little boy.
I made that rational decision by hugging the little boy in my arms tightly.
Felix approached the fireplace, set a fire, and laid a blanket on the floor of the living room.
Then I carefully laid the little boy on it.
The little boy tossed and turned around, perhaps feeling uncomfortable.
“Wauuuu…’
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Sleep more. Good boy.”
When I patted his stomach carefully, the child’s struggle gradually became subsided.
I immediately heard his rhythmic breath that seemed like he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
At times like this, he’s adorable as if a real angel is in front of me.
I can’t believe that hell will unfold the moment he wakes
up.
But he’ll sleep for another two hours.
I stoop up after covering the kid with a blanket.
“Then I’ll go to my room for a while while the kid sleeps.”
I was going to go out after organizing my crumpled clothes, but Felix snatched my arm.
“What if the little one wakes up in the meantime?”
r a short time. And even if he wakes
“It’s fine. up, you can take care of him.”
The little boy, who didn’t get used to Felix at first, got used to him about a week later.
But Felix didn’t let go of my arm, even after I said that.
‘What ?
I grabbed his hand and tried to gently pull it off, but instead of loosening, he added more force to it.
‘What’s wrong with him?’
“Elena.”
“Huh…. Yes?”
“……. It’s past lunch, so don’t you have to eat?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Since when did you started caring about that?”
I laughed awkwardly at the strange question from Felix.
It never thought such a question would come out of Felix’s mouth, who often skips meals.
But he didn’t even budge at my sarcastic remark.
“How about pasta?”
“What? Are you really Felix?”
His serious expression didn’t crumble even on my blunt question.
‘This is really weird.’
I glared at him.
‘What is it this time?’
The fact that he asked an unusual question meant that Felix has no excuse.
In other words, it meant that there was a reason for him to hold me in this room even by making such a desperate excuse.
And that reason was not a trivial one like the little boy and pasta.
“If it’s because of the Anguis, you don’t have to worry. As you said, this is an academy. Even if I go to the room alone away from you, there’s nothing dangerous.”
Before coming to the academy, Felix was worried about Anguis, so I wondered if it was because of that.
In fact, it wasn’t that I wasn’t worried about Anguis either.
However, the fact that we are at Berk academy reassured me.
At that time I had a baby, and was in normal clothes, so the man wouldn’t have known that I was an academy student.
It’s frustrating, but maybe… I would have looked like the mother of a child.
Even if he noticed that I am a student at the academy, don’t have to worry.
I don’t know how good the man is at swordsmanship, but even if he is one of the best swordsmen in the kingdom, he won’t be able to break through the magic defense and enter the school.
I thought it was a pretty plausible reasoning, but Felix raised his eyebrows, as if saying I was wrong.
He looked at me and sighed openly.
“Please think about it a little.”
Felix pointed his finger at my head and looked at me.
Felix then turned his eyes this time and saw the kid sleeping soundly.
“As you said, Berk Academy is not an easy place to enter. But what I’m worried about is not because of Anguis, but because of the kid.”
“Because of the little boy?”
“The kid appeared in your room. At this academy, which has a magic boundary, alone. I don’t know how and why he came, yet. However, Elena. It’s undeniable that the little boy showed up in your room.”
His expression became serious.
He closed his eyes and gathered his breath for a while before continuing his explanation with a low voice.
“Whatever it is, the thing we can conclude is – There is no guarantee that someone else will not be able come to your room again. You seem to have let your guard down since opponent was a baby, but this is actually very serious. What do you think would have happened if the person who came to your room that day wasn’t the kid, but a man like the man you saw yesterday? If a man with a sword decides to attack you, do you think you’ll be standing in front of me right now?”
Only then did I start to understand little by little what Felix was worried about.
My hands trembled.
The wound in my throat that has already healed was stinging.
‘That can’t be true.’
I wrapped my hands around the neck that felt cold.
“Of course, since the one that came was the kid, it doesn’t look like someone was targeting you with malicious intent. But we don’t know what might happen. So we have to prepare for the worst case.”
As he said, the day the little boy appeared, I thought for a moment about why he was in my room.
But after that, I thought about what to do with the kid and how to find his family, since he was a baby who came to a strange place away from his parents.
However, listening to Felix, it was not something to be considered simple.
Was this the reason Felix made me stay at the accommodation outside the academy on the day the little boy appeared? Just in case if someone appears in my room and harms me?
“When the holiday is over and the professors and academy staff return, we will tell them everything and ask them change your room. It’ll be uncomfortable until then, but stay calm here. Got it?”
I nodded helplessly.
Felix, who confirmed my answer, went outside saying he would bring my lunch.
Before going out, he threatened me not to go outside.
As soon as I heard the door closing, my legs loosened, and I sat down on the floor next to the sleeping little boy.
The little boy who looked so cute, felt somehow suspicious.
I slightly pinched the sleeping little boy’s cheek.
I pinched him in a way that won’t hurt, but the little boy made a painful sound and moved his legs.
“Mamamuuuuu”
I felt sorry for him for losing his mom and dad…
It turned out that it wasn’t time for me to worry about the little boy.
“Baby, how did you get here? And why did you come to me? Did anyone send you to me on purpose?”
“Babuuuu.”
I was frustrated that I couldn’t communicate with the kid over the past few days, but this time it was frustrating more than ever.
I just stared at the little boy blankly until Felix came.
Thanks to the fireplace burning red, warm air lingered in the room.
But somehow, my shoulders trembled with a cool feeling.
I thought a big storm had passed with the Anguis incident yesterday, but now, it feels like the dark clouds are getting together for a way bigger storm to come.
About 30 minutes later, Felix returned.
He held a plate full of pasta in one hand and a box full of fresh strawberries in the other.
I left the little boy and went to the sofa and sat down.
As soon as I waited, Felix brought the pasta cooked with magic to the table.
As if freshly made, steam kept coming from the hot pasta.
It was already past lunch time and I was hungry, but strangely, I did not have an appetite even when I was looking at the delicious looking pasta.
“What are you doing without eating?”

Felix, who was pouring juice into the cup, forced a fork into my hand
“Don’t ask me to heat it up again saying it’s cold. Eat it before it gets cold. Do you think magic is that easy just because I use it casually?”
Even at a time like this, polite and cheerful words doesn’t seem to come out of his mouth.
I don’t know what those girls see in this heartless guy.
I feel sorry for the unlucky girl who will be his wife in the future.
