That sudden gust of wind, like a mischievous sprite, swept fiercely down the academy path, whipping up dust and fallen leaves from the ground, and showed no mercy as it struck Sefina and Kefi.
The wind came abruptly and fiercely, and Sefina felt a chill at her knees as the hem of her light blue, delicate gauze skirt was instantly lifted by the wind, billowing upwards like a filled sail!
“Ah—!”
Kefi’s student uniform skirt was also caught by the strong wind, and she let out a short startled cry, instinctively pressing both hands tightly against her skirt’s edge.
Sefina’s reaction was even faster—like lightning. Or rather, it was an extreme speed born from her embarrassment and heightened vigilance.
The moment her skirt fluttered upward, Sefina’s hands, trained like a seasoned guard’s, pressed down fiercely, fingers spread wide, tightly holding the rebellious fabric against the outside of her thigh.
“This is bad!”
Alarm bells rang in Sefina’s mind, her wine-red eyes narrowing slightly from the sudden tension.
Absolutely…… absolutely must not…… must not be seen………
If someone sees, it’s over……
Silently, Sefina screamed in her heart, her fingertips turning pale from the strength of her grip.
The tense feeling of almost being exposed quickened her heartbeat by several beats, as if she were engaged in an urgent battle to defend her dignity.
Fortunately, the gust of wind, just as sudden as its arrival, ceased after only a brief moment of fury.
The fluttering skirt lost its wind support and sagged softly down, returning to its original graceful state.
Sefina secretly exhaled in relief, though her hands pressing down the skirt didn’t immediately loosen, as if confirming the crisis was truly over.
Luckily, she had moved fast enough and held on tight enough—nothing inappropriate was revealed.
So, does Sefina actually wear panties……?
Of course she does! What else could she be thinking?!
After that embarrassing “emergency treatment” in the library restroom stall, despite the awkwardness of the situation, she had stubbornly overcome her shame and carefully rinsed her panties with water magic.
Although she couldn’t dry them quickly, and wearing wet fabric clinging to her skin felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward, but……
But she simply couldn’t go without them! That was her absolute bottom line.
Who in their right mind goes out without wearing that………
However, after that scare, the damp stickiness felt even more pronounced, making Sefina feel completely uneasy.
At this moment, she could clearly feel the residual cool breeze brushing over her legs, and… and the sensation of the wet fabric clinging tightly to her skin.
When the strong wind came just now, countless dreadful images flashed through Sefina’s mind—
If she hadn’t pressed her skirt down, wouldn’t the pure white panties, still damp from the rushed water magic rinse, have been exposed openly—especially in front of her fellow students?
That would have been a social death on the spot.
Thankfully, nothing unfortunate happened.
Right now, the thing Sefina wanted most was to immediately return to her quiet villa, rush into her bedroom, change into a fresh, dry pair of panties, and completely rid herself of this unbearable sticky sensation.
“Sigh, really……” she sighed helplessly in her heart, a familiar frustration welling up inside.
Ever since that damned Ophidoro marked her with this magic seal, these embarrassing incidents happened frequently!
Sefina quickened her pace toward her villa while lost in thought.
“Sefina-sensei, are you leaving now?” Kefi tidied her skirt beside her and quietly asked, her face still flushed from the earlier scare.
“Yeah.” Sefina suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, maintaining a calm exterior and replied softly.
“Okay, sensei, goodbye! I’m leaving too—I’m going to work as a maid.” Kefi waved at Sefina as she spoke.
Maid?
The word flashed through Sefina’s mind, and she instinctively assumed Kefi was going to work part-time at a restaurant in the academy’s commercial street.
In this world, many service industry uniforms took the form of maid outfits.
Students from commoner families like Kefi, though tuition was waived at Oselenka, received limited living allowances.
To have some extra spending money, it was very common to work part-time during spare time.
***
The restaurants in the school’s commercial street had a relatively safe environment, making it a decent choice.
“Okay, be sure to rest well and don’t overwork yourself at the restaurant.”
Sefina continued walking while casually reminding her, though most of her thoughts were still preoccupied with the discomfort of her lower garments.
“No, I’m not working at a restaurant,” Kefi shook her head and explained.
“I’m working as a private maid for someone. Oh! I’m running out of time—Sensei, I really have to go now!”
Before finishing, Kefi had already started jogging forward.
“Oh, a private maid for someone……” Sefina unconsciously responded, not stopping her steps.
But the next second, realization hit her hard.
Private maid……?!
Could it be that she was working as a maid for some noble family in the royal capital?! And she’s just a student……
How could that be?!
Sefina stopped immediately, her face shifting slightly.
The noble families in the royal capital varied widely in character. If she got lucky, maybe a kind and respectful employer.
But if she encountered those with poor morals and lustful tendencies, the routine abuses and harassment of personal maids happened frequently!
Kefi was just a commoner student with no background, and her appearance was relatively striking. If danger arose, there might be no one to protect her.
The risk was too great! If she were mistreated, she probably wouldn’t have anyone to turn to!
No, she had to follow and see for herself!
A strong sense of worry instantly replaced Sefina’s earlier concern about her own embarrassment.
Now she couldn’t care less about……
The damp, uncomfortable panties—she had to make sure Kefi was safe and the working environment was sound!
She immediately turned around and quickened her pace, chasing after the direction where Kefi had run off.
Though petite (not even 1.5 meters tall), Sefina’s legs in her small leather shoes worked hard but her speed was somewhat limited.
Looking toward the corner ahead, now completely empty, her heart raced anxiously, but she could only do her best to quicken her pace.
Sigh, these legs…… if only they were a bit longer!
