Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 415: Not Doing Anything

After a few moments of silence in the room, one brave soul finally spoke.

"Master, I think I should be able to use a teleportation spell at least twice right now," Mandra suggested, only caring about Zach’s expression. She did not pay attention to the way the others’ mouths and eyes widened at her words.

Teleportation wasn’t something mages could do in anything but theory, after all. But here Mandra was, proposing to use such a complex spell to pick up a maid.

Zach slowly shook his head.

"You could have done it if you hadn’t needed to push our bond as far as you did while I was petrified. It’s still fragile and I’d rather not take that risk." Zach didn’t mention that his current condition made it even riskier.

Mandra nodded, understanding even the point Zach didn’t verbalize.

Zach turned to the principal.

"Can you have your familiar return to the Academy and pick up Nora, principal?" Zach asked. He wouldn’t go so far as to blame the principal for leaving Nora behind. It was as much his fault as it was the principal’s. But if the principal had waited half a second after asking if they were ready before they left, maybe they wouldn’t have forgotten Nora.

"On one condition."

"..."

"Tell me about the item you chose from the Imperial Treasury."

It was not what Zach had expected so he nodded and pulled the medallion out from inside his shirt.

"I managed to snag this. Vidri’s Medallion or something. No idea what it does, though," he said with a light shrug.

"Vidri, you say…" the principal echoed with a thoughtful expression, his eyes narrowed as he inspected the necklace.

Ursula nodded and confirmed its veracity.

"Alright. I’ll have my familiar bring Nora. Is there anyone or anything else you want while he’s at it?" The principal said after a moment of silent thought.

The graduates looked at each other. As was often the case when presented with the question of whether they had forgotten anything, they couldn’t come up with an answer. It didn’t seem like they had forgotten anything.

"Alright." The principal nodded.

"...Aren’t you going to do something?" Nessa asked when the principal just sat in his chair and sipped his tea.

"Hmm?"

"Shouldn’t you go tell your familiar to bring Nora?"

The principal’s eyes widened in realization.

"Oh! No, there’s no need for me to go to him. In case you didn’t notice, I can call for him when he’s far away. I can also talk to him mentally when he’s close enough. He’s already on his way."

"That seems very convenient," Violina said with earnest admiration.

The principal nodded with a smug smile on his face. It wasn’t often he received honest praise nowadays. It was just a bunch of old but younger-than-him fogeys being passive-aggressive or downright rude.

On the other side of the room, Ursula turned to Zoe and Julius.

"You two have something more important to talk about than that guy’s ego, right? Do you mind doing so now?" She asked.

"Not at all," Zoe answered and got up. She and Ursula walked side by side as they left the room to discuss the matters of the Underworld’s and the Empire’s cooperation privately. They didn’t need to hide the details from the others. It was just that it wasn’t the right atmosphere to discuss such important matters in a room that was supposed to be relaxing.

Julius followed behind. Rienne was about to do the same, but she stayed behind and whispered something to Nessa and Violina before hurrying after the others, throwing a glance at Zach as she exited the room. He had already closed his eyes. Still, he raised his hand and waved at her as she left.

She returned it with a quick wave of her own before closing the door.

That little interaction did not go undetected by the others. They looked at Zach with lively eyes brimming with curiosity and an eagerness to tease him. But they could tell that he was tired. The expressions on his maids also made it pretty clear that they wouldn’t let them disturb his rest.

Their excitement died down and they grew a little worried. It felt like Zach had slept almost ever since he woke up from his coma. Shouldn’t he have recovered by now? Was he just tired after three stressful years at the Academy and taking the opportunity to sleep while he could to make up for when he hadn’t done so before?

Or was his condition worse than they thought?

For now, it seemed like Zach was just tired, so they didn’t pry. But was diving into a Labyrinth the best thing to do right now?

In one way, it was the best time right now since none of them had any idea when they would next be able to gather together all of them like this. After this, they would all do their own things and it would be difficult to do something like this together.

But Zach seemed worryingly tired all the time, and the others wouldn’t mind doing something that wouldn’t be as stressful as driving into a Labyrinth.

Zach managed to fall asleep even in such circumstances and after a while, he woke up to Nora by his side and the other graduates having gone somewhere else to explore the palace and do something more entertaining than looking at Zach’s sleeping face.

Nora was, needless to say, a little displeased about having been left behind. But whether it was because she enjoyed the ride, was understanding, or simply suppressing her feelings, she didn’t cause much of a fuss about it. She just took her position by Zach’s side without saying much.

Zoe and Ursula’s talks continued for several hours since they had a lot to settle and they wanted to settle it all in one go.

Nessa and the others had fun going around the palace and just looking at old paintings and the palace’s architecture. But after a while, they had already gone to all the places they could go to without bothering the nobles and officials in the palace and were starting to get bored, so they left the Palace and headed to the capital.

They were waiting for Julius so they could say goodbye to him anyway, so Zach tagged along. He led them all to his guild to check on Derot and the alchemists and let Alzara drop off a bunch of new and improved recipes.
