Chapter 561 (1/2)

Haah… She ended up emptying three bottles of it… We’ll have to get more from Elsa again next time』

It was actually a luxury item, so we’d have to pay for it next time.

(Muh…)

Fran didn’t look pleased with my idea at all.

『Fran?』

(…)

She turned her face away at my call! I-is this her rebellious period? What do you think, Announcer-san?

《Carnivorous Beastmen do not have a rebellious period》

『Eh? Really?』

But it seems, the Beastmen’s rebellious period was actually quite interesting.

《Rebellious Period. It is a state of excitement characteristic of growing up, in which stress is expressed in the form of aggression and antisocial behavior toward others. The imbalance between physical and mental growth is considered to be the primary cause》

『Well, I guess so』

She was at the age when they began to ignore their family members, stop listening to their parents, and even steal someone’s bike to play with it.

《Beastmen are said to grow faster than humans and are also considered to be a race that can get excited more easily than Humans and Elves. So, if we apply the definition of rebellious period of the human race to the Beastmen race, especially one that inherited the carnivore factor, then more than half of their life would be considered a rebellious period》

『In other words?』

《Since that state is normal for the Beastmen, they don’t have a rebellious period》

Doesn’t that mean they were in a 24/7 rebellious period!? Well, the Beast King was just like that though.

「Hmm?」

Fran, who had been calmly changing in the changing room after the excitement of the serum did not cool down yet, moaned something.

「D-do you need something?」

「This, how do you use it」

Then she held up a long piece of cloth.

Oh! Come to think of it, Fran couldn’t tie a tie by herself! I was the one who tied it for her this morning. And that was quite a tedious task.

I used to tie it for myself, but it was quite hard to tie it for someone else.

I’ve seen a few sweet scenes where a young wife ties a tie for her husband, but it must take a lot of practice to do that.

This morning, I managed to tie it for her by getting to Fran’s back to make me feel like I was tying it for myself, but…

This time she should have just loosened the tie lightly and pulled it off her neck instead of untying it completely.

「Can you give it to me for a moment?」

「Nn」

「Fufu, I remembered that I learned to do it by doing it for the other kids when I first entered the academy」

Charon then stood on her knees in front of Fran, and she then tied her tie skillfully. As she did so, she also fixed the collar and hem for her. Charon seemed to be a capable girl, doesn’t she?

「And, it’s done」

「Thanks」

Immediately after Charon tied her tie, someone came stumbling up to us and approached Fran and Charon.

「Hey you! I heard you’re an adventurer, aren’t you!?」

「Nn?」

「That beauty serum, give it to me! It’s useless for a commoner like you to use!」

Uwaah, this was the first time I’ve seen this type of noble since we came to the Academy of Magic.

「You want to use it too?」

「That’s not what I meant! Give all of it to me! I don’t want to be rough with you, so just give it to me and leave!」

I thought she was just a bit of a tsundere and couldn’t bring herself to say that she wanted to use it too, so she acted haughtily, but it seemed that she was just a regular shitty nobleman.

As I was wondering how to handle the situation, Charon stepped forward with a stern look on her face.

「Hey you, Your arrogance will not be tolerated in this academy, you know?」
