Chapter 01 When I opened my eyes, the ceiling was far too low. A young maid was kneeling beside me, staring straight at me. Her eyes were so round and black that she looked as though she had just witnessed something startling. Where am I? I stared blankly at the ceiling. My last memory was of opening a can of beer in front of a convenience store after working overtime. I could still vividly remember the sharp hiss as the carbonation rose, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in this room. Is…-

Chapter 12 Adelia returned to the laboratory and repeated several pattern experiments and observations. She was so absorbed in her work that she didn't even realize lunchtime had already passed. It wasn't until her stomach growled that Adelia realized she had completely forgotten to eat. You can't study properly when you're hungry. So Adelia went outside to have lunch. On the way, she peeked into Professor Siern's laboratory. Siern was asleep with his legs stretched out on the table, so…-

Chapter 11 She was the perfect example of a student who stood out only within the school. The kind of person who would lose her way the moment she graduated and was thrown into the real world. What on earth was Father doing all this time without even giving her advice about things like this? Roerston eventually complained, even bringing up his late father, then put down his pen with a click and crossed his arms. "At this rate, when are you ever going to repay everything? Even if you kept…

Chapter 9 Roerston’s father, the previous Duke of Ipsel, had been anonymously supporting Adelia all this time. Even so, it was generally customary for a sponsor to stop providing support once the person they supported became an adult. However, Roerston had decided to continue supporting Adelia, following his father’s wishes. “You can continue studying with my support, just as you have until now, Junior.” At those words, Adelia’s face became somewhat pale. Roerston tilted his head…

Chapter 8 The moment those words left his mouth, Adelia’s eyes widened so much that they looked ready to pop out. “Th-That person is him?” “Yes. You didn’t know?” How was I supposed to know?! Encilia Academy selected only the best students from neighboring countries and provided them with intensive education. Every year, the academy held a chess tournament. It was a huge event where talented students from not only the kingdom but also nearby countries gathered. At first, the…

Chapter 7 Liliot, the senior maid of the mansion and the woman closest to the Duchess, was old enough to be like an aunt to Adelia. She had also been a kind and reliable person who had helped Adelia with all sorts of things ever since she first came to the mansion. Even so, Adelia still hadn’t gotten used to having someone else wash her body for her. Because of that, every time she took a bath, she always had to listen to at least one round of nagging from Liliot. “How was the research…

Chapter 6 When she looked at the clock, it was already 4:00 p.m. Professor Siern had been very careful when he said that they would sometimes have to leave late. But Adelia wanted to stay in the laboratory for even one second longer. “Yes, I understand!” “Good. That’s all for today. You may go home.” Go home…? Adelia’s heart ached again, and her shoulders trembled. Am I going to become a proper working adult like this? When she was at the Academy, everyone had high…

Chapter 5 “More importantly, an intestinal disease? What kind of disease is it? Does it damage the intestinal lining, or does it affect the stomach?” “…It’s closer to damaging the intestinal lining.” “Really? Then what happens? Does it cause vomiting? Or diarrhea? Chills?” “…Are you interested in medicine too?” Adelia let out a small “Ah!” and smiled shyly. “A little. But please don’t misunderstand. I’m only curious about how fungi, viruses, and other…

Chapter 4 It was true that Adelia had been Roerston’s junior at the Academy and had graduated at the top of her class. Even when Roerston had still been a student there, he had heard rumors that there was a genius in one of the lower grades. So it wasn’t accurate to say they were complete strangers. But there was one far more important fact. Their marriage… …was a complete scam. Years ago, the Whitton family had completely fallen apart when Adelia was ten years old. Her mother…
