27. Mr. Seamus's Surprise 3.0
It was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and Seamus walked out of Louise's bedroom. He took a leisurely walk unhurriedly, and then when he finally reached the corner of the hallway, Seamus's body suddenly accelerated.
Ignoring the screams and complaints of the students around him, through the crowd, through the corridors, through the atrium, through the gates, in some inaccessible hidden corner near the castle's stables, Seamus, who had been covering his mouth since halfway through, finally stopped.
After cautiously looking left and right a few times, and after confirming that there was really no one nearby, Seamus took out a bag and turned around, leaning against the wall, and spat out a bunch of things from his mouth. If you look closely, you can see that these things are actually food, including chicken legs, beef, fruits, vegetables, and so on.
However, without exception, these foods are smaller than normal food, in fact, much smaller, if you want to specify how small, it is probably 1000 times smaller than the original normal size items, which looks similar to Muggle-made mini toys.
Then, in less than a minute, these "mini toys" began to slowly grow in size.
At this point, Seamus finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, after a fight with Louise, the two of them, who had recovered their relationship, looked at each other quietly, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, until they ......
Suddenly, Louise, who reacted, pushed Seamus away, and then stumbled to ask Seamus if she hadn't eaten lunch yet? Still hungry?
"I was just angry just now, so the forage or something, just made a little joke with you~"
"Actually, there's lunch for you, No, over there."
"You must be hungry, eat quickly."
Seamus, who was holding his stomach with one hand (propped up) and the back of his head with the other (just hit), looked at the "mountain" on the table with a shocked expression.
And as he watched as Louise opened the lid and saw the food piled up on the plate, a drop of sweat ran down Seamus's forehead. Now Seamus finally knew why the playful maid named Pross was first surprised and then laughed when she saw her eating in the cafeteria.
[She must have helped Louise bring the food, damn it, she didn't remind me.] γ
The clever Seamus guessed the cause and effect: [Louise first found the Pross, asked her to feed herself, and at the same time quietly prepared a normal food. If I had relented, perhaps Louise would have asked her to bring the real food. γ
[But I was angry with Louise, who must have been angry at the time, but even though she was angry, Louise asked Pros to bring food to her room, so that she wouldn't starve when she returned.] γ
In the face of Louise's kindness, it is impossible for Seamus to refuse "face to face", but Seamus really can't eat it at the moment. If she doesn't eat it, maybe Louise will be sad, and more importantly, if she lets Louise know that I've secretly eaten lunch. If I let Louise know that the kind, beautiful maid lady invited me to lunch......]
Stealthily glancing at the horsewhip that Louise had thrown on the bed, Seamus swallowed and decided not to off Louise again.
So Seamus, who is facing a "food crisis", really doesn't have the extra mind to condemn a certain maid for not saving her, not reporting her knowledge and gloating, how to get through this pass safely and not let down Louise's kindness is the right thing.
But......
[What should I do?] γ
What should I do? γ
[Not to mention that I've eaten now, even if I'm hungry like before, I can't eat such a large plate!] Seamo's eyes, who were flustered, began to wander in all directions.
Seamus knows that the question is not whether she eats the food or not, but whether Louise "sees" the food she eats, as long as she thinks she eats the food, she will be happy, but in fact she does not have to actually eat.
In fact, how to fool around, Seamus already has a preliminary idea. The first law of the "Five Exceptions to the Basic Transfiguration Law of Gamp": A wizard cannot conjure food out of thin air, nor can he turn other things into food, or even eat it, but he can make food bigger.
Conversely, it is certainly possible to make food smaller, but if you don't have enough magic skills, it's very likely that what you've eaten will return to its original size in your stomach before you have time to digest it, and then kill yourself.
But as long as it's small enough, you can sneak it in your mouth and spit it out before the magic wears off.
But the question is, why do you do it? What kind of reason should Louise use to convince that she must cast a spell to make the food smaller, otherwise it will only arouse her suspicions. What Seamus lacked now was an excuse, an excuse to let himself unleash his magic reasonably.
At this time, Louise, who saw Seamus who had not moved, felt a little strange: "What? Eat it quickly, after a long time, it will be cold, and it will not taste good. β
[Wait a minute!] Seamus, who suddenly caught the keyword, was inspired.
[It's been a long time since the end of the morning class, right?] γ
So Mr. Seamus skillfully drew his wand: "Shrink quickly!" β
Mr. Seamus found that although he was not at Hogwarts, he was becoming more and more proficient in the use of knowledge. Sure enough, only under pressure will new uses of knowledge be discovered, and only after practice will there be a more intuitive understanding of knowledge.
However, Mr. Seamus had no doubt that if he were at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall would have punished himself for using the knowledge of the Transfiguration class and spoiling food in this way.
However, for the sake of his own body and his own stomach, Seamus finally chose to solve the problem by magic, so in Louise's strange eyes, Seamus used the Reducio charm to turn all the food into small bites.
"Why use magic? Have you eaten it? Louise looked a little lost, because she was worried about whether Seamus would be hungry.
"No, how is that possible? This is just because you can eat it faster, and the nutrients in it will not be less at all. Seamus said loudly.
He thinks that speaking loudly can pretend that he is innocent, but Seamus does not notice that his voice is actually loud but a little out of tune.
In order not to arouse Louise's suspicions, Seamus hurriedly continued: "Don't you have classes in the afternoon? It's not too early now, and if I eat slowly, it will be a waste of time. I don't want to see you "named" by your professor for being late. β
The quick-witted Seamus came up with a plausible reason for his actions, and then poured all the food into his mouth without giving Louise any time to react.
Then, while pretending to be chewing food (in fact, secretly hiding the food under the wall of the mouth and tongue), he also slurred his words, "Where is the afternoon class?" Let's go! β
Louise believed Seamus's words, and felt a little warmth for Seamus's "thoughtfulness" of herself; But she couldn't help but blink, took out the class schedule and told SΓΉ Seamos that there was actually no class this afternoon.
