At the inn, Shami was packing up, preparing to leave Saint Karno City.
Let’s rewind ti a little bit.
——
This morning, Shami handed in his resignation letter to Rooney in Saint Karno School, resigning from his teaching position.
The reason given was his girlfriend is nearing her 80th birthday, and they plan to get married on this day.
"Mr. Edogawa, since your hotown girlfriend is waiting for you to return ho, I certainly can’t stop you, right? Although I can’t attend your wedding, please convey my wish to your girlfriend, that I wish her a long life like the Southern Mountains."
Rooney showed a regretful expression, as if an old friend was about to leave, opening his arms to give Shami a hug.
He suddenly hugged Shami’s stomach.
Shami looked down at the short Rooney, who had half Goblin blood flowing in him, and for a mont couldn’t recall when their relationship beca so close.
"Thank you for your help during this ti."
Rooney let go of Shami and patted his shoulder.
Over these days, Rooney developed quite a fondness for the black-haired young man in front of him.
A herdsman who could breed Slis, liked discussing architecture, and unconditionally helped him take care of his body model during the idol competition.
This was practically a like-minded friend despite their age difference.
"No, no worries..."
Shami responded.
"As for the death of the Sli, the researchers at the Biological Garden didn’t do it on purpose, they’ve tried their best to compensate. I’m also here to apologize on their behalf."
Rooney sighed sadly.
Shami scratched his head.
Because he needed to leave, he knew if the Sli stayed around, he surely couldn’t get away, so during the last trip with Jelly to the Biological Garden, one man, one Sli, put on a staged act.
When doing a check-up on the Sli, Jelly pretended to die to indicate Shami no longer provided the benefits Saint Karno School required.
The people at the Biological Garden compensated Shami with 1,000 Gold Coins.
"It’s fine, Slis must die eventually, whether of less significance than a feather, or of more consequence than a monunt. Contributing to research, the Sli has fulfilled its mission. Just let take its body back ho for a proper burial."
Shami’s righteous expression deeply moved Rooney.
Rooney stood up, slowly walked back.
"To thank you for your help during these days, I’ll give you a keepsake, so in the future when herding sheep, you see bones as if seeing a person."
Rooney slowly picked up the decorative Bone Fra from his office and handed it to Shami.
This was mine, actually!
Shami still smiled politely and accepted the Bone Fra.
Many books introducing the Goblin Race ntion that Goblins are a passionate and loyal race, as evidenced by soone like Rooney, who has half Goblin blood.
"Oh, Mr. Edogawa, this way of holding it is kind of improper. From its bone structure, this should be a mannequin of a little girl. Holding it like a princess is better."
Under Rooney’s gaze, Shami changed the way he was holding the Bone Fra, cradling it like a princess.
He forced a smile.
"Thank you, Director Rooney. Hopefully, we’ll et again if fate allows. If you ever beco unemployed, you could always join my ranch; maybe I’ll offer you a leisurely job."
Shami half-seriously and half-jokingly said.
Over these days, Rooney had left a decent impression on him.
At the very least, daring to take a Bone Fra to the idol competition, such pioneering spirit impressed him deeply.
"Let’s et again if fate allows."
Rooney stroked his mustache, the corners of his mouth hinting at a smile.
Shami left Rooney’s office, carrying the Bone Fra.
[Drifting outside, the Bone Fra that earned 12th place in the Saint Karno School Campus Idol Competition, nobly returns!]
"Lord Shami, being cradled like a princess feels a bit embarrassing~ at least let wear so stockings~"
"Shut up."
Along the school path, Shami turned the head of the Bone Fra.
The two walked onto a small path with few people.
"Lord Shami, what are your plans next?"
"Building the Demon King Castle and the Demon Realm."
Shami looked at the Bone Fra.
"And you, have you had enough training outside? Are you planning to continue training, or to return?"
"Of course, to return and help Lord Shami build the Demon Realm~"
The head of the Bone Fra slowly returned to its position, its hollow eyes looked at Shami.
"Moreover, I’ve learned a lot during my ti outside, enough for to pass on my knowledge in the future Demon Realm."
"Don’t teach your strange knowledge to normal people!"
"Days outside, eating rough lodgings, missing one al every ten, being bitten by dogs in the morning, mistaken for a ghost at night... really, only a place filled with monsters like the Demon King Castle suits best..."
Shami’s eyebrow twitched a bit.
"Thank you for describing the Demon King Castle so unfavorably."
"More importantly, no one outside cares about a Bone Fra, only Shami and everyone else cares about ."
The Bone Fra suddenly raised its hands, gently wrapping them around Shami’s neck, its hollow gaze seemingly affectionate.
"Lord Shami..."
"..."
Shami continued to drag the Bone Fra forward.
——
Rewind a tiny bit in ti.
Before leaving Saint Karno School, Shami particularly strolled around the school once to see which places he hadn’t visited yet.
At the sa ti, from his observations over these days, Shami had already mapped out a detailed information map of Saint Karno School, facilitating future remote assignnts of a few Demon Envoys to complete tasks.
