My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Surprise Gift
Although Eren had to break his promise with Celeste, he could not help it.
“Shall we go buy more cake?” he asked Celeste.
Celeste repeatedly nodded.
Looking at her childlike appearance, Eren couldn’t help but wonder how she got so addicted to cakes.
“But if we buy more right now, someone might come to steal them.”
Celeste grew concerned after hearing Eren’s words. Someone was going to steal her cake?
She grabbed his collar, trying to pull him back. She did not want to give her cake to the thief!
As Eren felt bad for breaking the promise. But it was only temporary. He was going to get her lots of cakes later.
“Are you saying that we should wait until Xiu Ying returns?” he asked.
Celeste nodded again. She knew that Xiu Ying was strong. If she was here, no thief was going to take her cake.
“That is true. If we get a room, you can eat cake without any worries. My Celeste is so smart.”
Eren patted the head on the little girl, making her feel like the leader.
Celeste proudly smiled, completely forgetting that she was almost on the verge of crying when her cake dropped.
Eren placed his hand in his pocket and started waiting for Xiu Ying.
“Hmm?”
The moment he entered his hand in his pocket, he noticed something. There was something else in his pocket other than the coins of this continent.
“What is this thing?” He brought the sharp thing out of his pocket, finding it to be a crystal knife.
“And where did you come from?” he thought out loud.
He did not know if it came from the system. There wasn’t supposed to be any reward like this, unless the System was giving bonus rewards.
While observing the knife, he checked his Inventory. The Question Voucher was already placed in his inventory as a reward.

The woman who had just collided with Eren was still running, occasionally looking back.
Her face was filled with horror, but she did not call out for help. She did not approach any nearby houses either.
“Did you run enough?”
The woman came to a sudden stop when she heard a voice coming from before her.
She saw the shadow of the tree move. The shadow came out of the ground and took the shape of a man.
“Return the thing you stole while I’m still being merciful,” the man commanded the woman and reached out his hand.
“I can’t tell if you are naive, or an idiot. But do you really expect me to return that thing?”
“If you want to survive, you should.”
“And what if I don’t?”
“Then I would have to kill you, and take that from your corpse!”
“You think you alone can kill me?”
The woman showed a middle finger to the man.

“You are acting very bravely for someone who was running like a coward until a few seconds ago.”
“I ran because I thought ‘he’ was with you. But to think that you came alone. The Hero Academy must have a lot of faith in you. To think they only sent a S Rank Hero after me.
They must be looking down on me.”
“To send you to the afterlife, I alone am enough.”
….
Xiu Ying returned to Eren after finding a good hotel that had rooms available.
On the way to the hotel, Eren brought a few cakes for Celeste. But he did not let her eat it until they returned to their room
Only after he entered the room, he placed a cake on the table and allowed Celeste to have the entire cake.
The remaining cakes were kept in the inventory for the future. It was to make up for lying to this little girl.
“She loves cake so much.” Xiu Ying sat next to Eren, watching the cake slowly disappear.
Eren placed his hand around Xiu Ying’s waist. He helped her up and made her sit on his lap, as he wrapped his arms completely around her.
He rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at Celeste.
“She loves the cake as much as I love you.”
Xiu Ying still could not see Celeste, but Eren had already informed her about her existence. In this long journey, it was impossible to hide Celeste’s existence.
“I wish I could see her. But I am sure the child must be really cute.” Xiu Ying smiled beautifully.
Even though she hadn’t seen Celeste, she was already starting to treat her as her child.
“If I knew how to create portraits, I would have shown you. But I think it is hard to describe her in words.”
He was telling the truth. Celeste was a fairy. If he wanted to describe her, there were not enough words. Celeste had a charm that was different from Xiu Ying.
While Xiu Ying had a seductive charm, Celeste had one that brought out protective feelings from people.
Describing her was like trying to describe an angel. It was an existence that one could only experience, but not describe.
“Oh? Now you are making me feel jealous.” Xiu Ying pouted cutely.
“What are you going to do about it then?” Eren whispered in her ears, lightly biting them.
He had not forgotten how this girl used to tease him. It was his turn now.
“I am going to do what Celeste is doing.” Xiu Ying looked into Eren’s eyes with her misty eyes.
“And that would be?” Eren asked, his gaze occasionally lowering to her lips.
“I am going to enjoy this delicacy.” She pushed Eren back, making him fall on the bed.
It was early in the morning when Eren woke up, still feeling tired. He looked around, but did not find Xiu Ying here.
“Did she go out?”
He got off the bed and got dressed, before walking over to the window.
“Why is there so much commotion?”
He could see many people on the street. Amongst them, there were many who had badges of the Hero Academy.
“Did they find out about me?” He wondered.
“A woman was found dead in the city.” Xiu Ying appeared behind Eren and answered his question. “She must be very special, to draw out people from the Hero Academy.”
