Chapter 104: Unexpected visitor

[We have big news! The reason why the Finest Pharmacist was in this poor state it's because there had been Business secrets leaking from the company.]

[Thomas Hawthorne, the brother of the Head of Finest Pharmacist Is the one who released all the business secrets.]

[When Police and Hero came to arrest him he demanded evidence and to everyone's surprise, Peter Hawthorne showed evidence of his misdeed in front of everyone.]

[In evidence police found out that Thomas Hawthorne sold the Finest Pharmacist business secret to their rivals, A.K. Alchemy.]

[Currently Thomas Hawthorne and head of A.K. Alchemy. Are questions by Polic and Hero association.]

Well, that went easy with the arrest of Thomas Hawthorne the finest pharmacist would be top in a few days.

Fortunately, I already signed the investment contract sent by Isla. With this secret revealed to all people many of them will again invest in the finest pharmacist but I beat them on this.

'In a few years, I would be super rich, haha...'

I thought as I closed my PC.

Now there is one problem left. I have to replace a defence sword and tell Isabella to buy it for me.

If I could I don't want Isabella to buy it for me but it can't be helped because I already made my plan to invest money in the Finest Pharmacist.

So I had to lean on Isabella in disguise of bet.

Let's think about sword art.

A couple of ones came into my head, but they were either too hard to get or were too expensive. The academy also provided them, but you had to have a certain amount of merit to use them.

I currently had zero. All the students can only use merit points after the mid-term exam! So all the merit points I hand earn through Team 7 can be only used after mid-term.

After a long time of trying to rack my brain over this issue, I decided to leave it to Isabella, I will tell her to buy one for me that's all.

I thought as I rolled down my bed. There was no point in thinking when my brain capacity was currently at its limit.

Ding! -Dong!

Just as I was about to close my eyes and sleep, the sound of my doorbell ringing could be heard.

'…Hm? Who could it be?'

Sitting up on my bed, I looked in the direction of the door in confusion.

I don't recall ordering anything…

Frowning, I tried to remember if I had a prior engagement, but I soon shook my head. I wasn't expecting someone.

Maybe it's sunny?

A myriad of questions entered my mind as I headed for the door. I thought nothing of it and opened the door.

"How can I help…"

Hahelpay through my sentence, I froze.

"…"

Silver hair, sapphire eyes,

Standing in front of me stood a beautiful young girl with Silver hair that gently fell to her waist. Her sapphire eyes looked directly at me and though she wasn't as tall as me, we could see each other at eye level.

After a moment of pause, she said with the sweetest smile she could muster on her lips.

"Hello, darling you just left me in the main hall do you know how embarrassed I was?"

It's Isabella.

***

Inside a small room, two individuals sat facing each other.

Of the two individuals, one was a female while the other was a male.

The male had his head held down and was fearfully looking at the female who was looking at him with her legs and arms crossed. Her face was incomparably dark.

It looked as if they were in a murder trial with the male student being the one under trial.

Breaking the silence was the female whose voice sounded extremely dark.

"Darling"

"…C-Could you please not tell me that, it's sending shivers down my spine"

Yes, the boy who was currently being persecuted was in

Sitting down in front of Isabella, I tried my best to avoid her eyes. Right now her face was smiling but her eyes weren't. I had a feeling that she wanted nothing more but to eat me alive.

"But how could I do that? After the stunt, you pulled on me this morning."

"…w-would you believe me if I told you it was an accident?"

"What accident? I don't think there has been any accident at all."

"…err"

Please someone save me!

Nervously looking around the room, I thought of a brilliant idea.

"I had heard that Isabell is a very kind woman, she has a very pure soul that could forgive anyone. So just forgive me for this one."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I saved your life twice."

Isabella's eyes twitched at the words I just said. She grits her teeth as she controls her anger.

She knows I'm telling the truth! So she just has to accept that fact and forget what happened this morning.

"Bring me green tea."

'Finally, my trick work and I'm saved.'

"Alright"

Heading to where my teapot was stashed, I took it out and poured steaming hot water into the pot.

After a couple of seconds, I took a bag filled with tea leaves and gently threw them into the pot.

While waiting for the tea to be ready, I asked her something that's been bothering me.

"How do you know my address? As far as I remember, I never told anyone my address at all."

Smiling at me with her fake smile she replied. "Oh, don't worry about little details."

Hearing that makes me worry more than I think.

"Please tell me, I don't want a stalker in my back."

"Like I would ever stalk you, it's creepy that you thought yourself special to be stalked by me."

'this bitch..'

Her annoying attitude returned, I just wanted to kick her out of my room but I knew I couldn't do that.

After all, she is going to buy me a sword art.

"Even so I need to know."

Isabella sighed and said,

"I received it from Miss Lillian."

Of course, she is the only one who knows my address aside from Evelyn, who lives right next door to me.
