Chapter 142 Coloring
Frontier arrived in front of Zenita’s house.
This is only Jenita’s second home visit.
“I made contact first, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”
There were many reasons for coming here, but it was also true that I was worried about Zenita.
It seemed like the sight of her lying face down on her desk during class wasn’t just due to fatigue.
Ding dong─
Frondier rang her doorbell and waited.
Soon the door opened with the sound of footsteps.
Squeak-
“Welcome.”
“… Hello.”
It was Zenita’s father, Liberto, who welcomed Frontier.
Of course, Frontier, who had expected Zenita to come out, was a little taken aback.
“I’m sorry. Jenny Ta is lying down because he is not feeling well.”
“Yes. I heard she wasn’t feeling well. “That’s why I came.”
“Yes. “Please come in.”
Frondier followed Liberto’s guidance and entered the house.
The mansion was as old-fashioned as before. However, a faint smell passed by Frondier’s nose.
‘… Smells like medicine. ‘You’re using something quite harsh.’
As soon as I entered the house, I could smell the medicine and I could tell it was a significant amount.
Frondier’s face hardened.
“Miss Zenita, are you in a lot of pain? “It didn’t seem that serious in Atlas.”
There were no particular problems with the health checkup. It just said that it was due to lack of moisture and nutrition.
“Zenita? Oh, no. It’s not like that. “If it’s because of the smell of medicine, don’t worry about it.”
Liberto shook his head.
“This is not the medicine to give to Zenita. Zenita just, um, overextended herself while taking care of her body.”
“… Okay.”
Zenita seems to have gone too far on her diet, as Frondier predicted.
So what does this medicine smell like? I was worried, but Frondier stayed quiet for now. If he could have told me, Liberto would have told me first. It seems that Liberto is reluctant.
“Zenita is in this room.”
A slightly corner room on the second floor of the mansion. Liberto led Frondier to the tightly closed door.
Frondier knocked and then spoke.
Smart.
“Miss Zenita, this is Frontier.”
“Seo, teacher?! “Just a moment, just a moment!”
The other side of the door became a little noisy. It looked like everyone in the classroom was about to die, but their voices were quite strong right now.
After a while, the voice was heard again. Carefully.
“D-Please come in.”
Squeak-
When Frontier went inside, Zenita, wearing comfortable pajamas, was on the bed.
“I came because I was worried about my physical condition. How are you feeling?”
“Are you okay. I was just a little tired. “I’m sorry for causing you worry.”
Zenitha lowered her head with an expression of shame on her face.
Frondier looked at Zenita’s complexion.
‘She definitely seems to have regained her energy compared to what I saw in the classroom.’
Her physical condition improved in a fairly short period of time.
Perhaps, rather than receiving treatment, she became better off with water and nutrition.
“Miss Zenita. I eat food on time. “Health comes first.”
“Well, of course. “We are doing that.”
“I won’t discourage you from dieting, but diet and exercise should go together.”
“It’s all about diet. What do I do? hahahaha, I’m a wizard. Teacher.”
Hmm.
I guess I don’t want to say that I went on a diet.
Frondier said after watching Zenita for a while.
“By the way, Miss Zenita.”
“Yes?”
“You look a little thin.”
“Really?!”
“…”
“Oh.”
Zenita’s face turned red.
Fron Deer spoke with her half-closed eyes.
“There are only two people who are happy to hear that you have become thinner. “Either they are thinking dangerously about losing weight all at once through excessive dieting and eating later, or they are just perverts.”
“…”
“Is Ms. Zenita a pervert?”
“No!”
“Then the answer is decided.”
Jenny Ta lowered her head.
Frondier tilted his head and asked.
“But why are you trying to lose weight, Miss Zenita? “You’re slim enough.”
“Teacher. Everyone says that to women who are on a diet. Where is the weight you need to lose? What kind of diet is this skinny kid on? The intention is to reassure people in that way and make them stop dieting. “They are all devils.”
… There will be no demons in Atlas anymore.
Is this world so full of malice?
“I’m the only one with visible flesh, sir.”
“I understand how you feel, but losing weight that you only see for yourself is only a matter of self-satisfaction. “There is no need to push yourself to the point where your body breaks down.”
Objectively speaking, Zenita is slim.
Perhaps when she says that only her skin is visible, she is referring to the parts that are hidden by clothes. Things like a bit of flab that most people have.
But it’s really just the flesh that only shows itself. Subtracting it does not cause a dramatic change.
There is no need to overdo it, but you are overdoing it.
“…”
Jenny Ta rolled her eyes here and there, and her lips stretched horizontally.
She glanced at her secretly and said.
“Hey, teacher. Can I have a consultation? “It’s about love.”
Love advice?
As she talked about dieting, she was feeling it, but she was also like that.
Frondier, who had a general idea of her, nodded her head.
“Of course.”
“Teacher, you are a wizard.”
“… Yes.”
It’s completely different, but I have to say that it is.
“Is it possible for you to make me look really pretty just for one day? “Is there no such magic?”
“…”
Frondier thought.
I don’t know.
If I ask Elodie, will you tell me?
Zenita looked at Frondier’s face and sighed heavily.
“Of course there is no such thing. Don’t make that face, teacher. “Because I know what you’re going to say.”
I know what you’re going to say.
She knows things even the teacher doesn’t know, and she is a proud student.
“Why do you need such magic?”
“It’s obvious, teacher. “There is someone I want to look pretty for.”
“Who is it?”
“… “Is that something you really need to know?”
“It might be helpful. Especially if you are a student.”
“… “You’re not going to tell anyone, are you?”
“I will forget the conversation that took place here. “You can’t tell me what you don’t know.”
Jenny Ta hesitated a few times due to Front Deer’s strange persuasiveness, and then she whispered softly.
“… “It’s Basileo.”
“Oh.”
She wasn’t surprised at all, but she gave a surprised reaction.
I don’t know if she did well, but Jenny Ta doesn’t seem to find it strange.
Zenita said with an even redder face.
“Ah, anyway. “I need that kind of magic.”
“… “After that day, she will be back to normal.”
“So, you have to win her heart within one day! Even when the spell wears off, you’ll remain obsessed with me.”
Jennie Ta clenches her fist.
Frontier said:
“If it’s a charm that you might be missing even after the spell is removed, why don’t you try using that charm before casting the spell?”
“What don’t you know, teacher? “If you want to attract a man, look first!”
“… Is that so?”
“Sure! Look at the president and teacher Elodie! Because she’s so pretty, there are men around her…”
“There is none.”

“Oh, well.”
Zenita was momentarily confused as her unwavering beliefs were suddenly shaken.
But she soon came to her senses and said:
“Well, do you think that if those two decide to have a man, it will happen whenever they want?”
“Hmm. Yes. “I won’t deny it.”
“Right?”
“And the same goes for Miss Zenita.”
Zenita looked at Frondier as if she was dumbfounded by Frondier’s words.
“Me? “Teacher, I am different from them.”
“What’s different?”
“First of all, it’s about looks, teacher. “If you look good, men will come to you without me having to do anything.”
“If you are outstanding, to what extent?”
“That’s just like Teacher Elodie! “If you are that outstanding, a man will figure it out.”
“He’s not coming.”
“Oh, well.”
Zenita is confused again.
Frondier sighed and said.
“In the end, it’s the same. Miss Zenita. Teacher Elodie, the president, and Miss Zenita. “You have to put your mind to it to become a man.”
“… Still, it will be easier for them than me. “The odds of success will vary.”
It’s the probability of success.
When it comes to being like a wizard, it means being like a wizard.
“Miss Zenita, do you hope to attract many men?”
“That would be great. “If Basileo was in it, I wouldn’t have to worry about this.”
“What if it’s not one of them?”
“… Umm, then, um.”
“Does student Basile like women who attract numerous men?”
“… “I don’t think so.”
“Then how about you choose one of the many men?”
“No, I do not want!”
Zenita shakes her head.
Frondier said with a smile.
“Then it only takes one person. “That one person you like.”
“… That’s right.”
“I understand how you feel, Miss Zenita. I want the person I like to like me too. I wish you would come to me first. “I understand that they focus on appearance.”
“… After all, instead of thinking like this, I should have the courage to approach first, right?”
Zenita has a determined expression.
Said Fron Deer, looking at her.
“No?”
“Yes?”
“If you’re going to do it, do it more cleverly.”
“Yes, yes?”
It was then.
Once again, the smell of medicine reaches my nose in Frontier.
Inadvertently, Fron Deer raised her head.
‘… ‘It’s upstairs.’
This is the second floor, so the smell of medicine seems to come from the third floor.
Who on earth is this medicine given to?
“It’s my mom.”
It was Zenita who answered.
“… Zenita’s mother. Now that I think about it, I couldn’t meet you last time either.”
“Yes. Sorry. My mom doesn’t like being seen. “Her medicine smells like that too, so you should be ashamed of yourself.”
“… “You’re in a lot of pain.”
“Hmm, I heard it’s a disease I have to live with for the rest of my life.”
Jenny Ta placed her finger on his cheek as if recalling her memory.
“It’s not that it’s life-threatening, but the smell makes him shy away from people, so he seems a bit depressed these days.”
If you don’t meet people, you quickly become depressed.
It doesn’t just happen because you don’t meet people,
I am not a person that other people would like.
He is not someone the other person would be happy with.
This is because it can easily spread into self-deprecation like this.
If it is not your fault but an illness and the resulting smell of medicine, the stress will be considerable.
“… I’m sorry, Miss Zenita. “You failed to pay attention.”
“Are you okay. “It’s something our family is used to.”
“If there is anything I can be of help with,”
When Frontier spoke that far.
Faaah!!
Something began to glow in Frontier’s arms.
“What is it, teacher?”
Zenita is surprised. Frontier was equally embarrassed.
Frondier took out a shining object from his arms.
‘… ‘Golden apples!’
The circle ring and golden apple given by Evelina, the head of the Nine.
It suddenly began to glow,
Seuuu─
Something, something like black smoke, flowed down from the second floor ceiling and seeped into the ring.
No, it’s the opposite.
The circular ring was sucking in the black fog.
“What is this smoke?”
“Acting?”
“There’s black smoke coming from the ceiling.”
“… Uh, I can’t see it.”
Zenita said with a frown.
I found out about Frontier there.
‘It’s a sixth sense reaction. The general public cannot see it.’
And the ring continued to suck in the black smoke, and soon the light faded as if it had all been consumed.
Zenita blinked.
“Well, what could it have been?”
“… Well.”
After thinking for a moment, Frondier asked.
“In the room right above this one, perhaps.”
“Yes. This is my mom. So, I can smell the medicine better here.”
Frondier listened to those words and put the circle in his bosom.
Even as I put it in my arms, the uncomfortable feeling didn’t go away.
“… Then, I will go out first. “I also need to talk to Zenita’s father.”
There is still more to be said about the request. Frondier stood up from his seat with a complicated thought in his mind.
“Oh, wait a minute, teacher. What do you mean, do it cleverly?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
This is a serious matter for Zenita.
Frontier also tried to explain properly. It was important for her now to speak simply and effectively.
As he was about to say that, a certain sentence popped into Frondier’s head.
‘… But I don’t think this is a word used in relationships.’
My memory is vague in some places, but I’ll just spit it out and see.
“I have this to say, Miss Zenita.”
“What is it?”
“Be kind to everyone you meet, then.”
“Then?”
“… Something amazing will happen?”
“Why the question mark?”
It wasn’t until she spoke that she realized something was mixed up.
