Became a Childhood Friend of an Academy Genius chapter 44

44 – Tina Everett (3)

It’s good to know that Tina is a beast, but the problem is how to complete the remaining tasks.

Since I inevitably have to use Nostalgia to complete the task, the workshop will be full of incense by now, and even if I take Tina there, the same phenomenon will only repeat itself.

It was after the bell announcing the end of class rang that a helping hand was extended to us as we faced such difficulties and put our heads together.

“Shouldn’t you guys be going back soon?”

“Ah, professor. That is….”

To Professor Erdil, who pulled back the curtain and entered, we explained what we hadn’t been able to tell.

When Tina informed us of the situation we were in and why we had come to this point, and asked if there were any countermeasures, a short saliva flowed from Professor Erdil’s mouth.

“Wait a minute.”

Professor Erdil, who had been chewing on our words with his hand on his chin, disappeared again behind his curtain.

I heard something clattering across her, and soon she returned to her bunk with something in her little pail.

Just looking at it, I could tell that it was a medicine that was used somewhere.

“How many days do you have left?”

“To stay… Are you talking about assignments?”

“Yes.”

At the sudden question, I inadvertently turned her head and crossed her gaze with Tina.

I can’t guarantee that it will take exactly a few days, but since there are about four days left until the assignment is submitted, you can comfortably answer four days.

“I think it will take four days.”

“Four days? Yes.”

Professor Erdil nodded lightly at my answer and put something in his hand while making a clicking sound in the barrel.

Then he transferred it to another small container he had brought beside him, and held it out to Tina.

“If you eat this, you won’t be completely free from nostalgia, but one pill will last you for about three hours.”

“What is this? Professor.”

Tina asked a question as she opened the white canister in her hand and inspected its contents.

I also assumed that it was medicine, but I was always curious about the effect, so I listened attentively and waited for Professor Erdil’s words.

She picked up a pill in the form of a round sphere and presented it to us, then continued her explanation after fixing the position of her glasses with her hands.

“There are quite a few animals brought in for experiments at the academy. It’s the medicine you give them when they’re in heat. Inside, there are ingredients that collide with the ingredients of Nostalgia and inhibit each other.”

I guess you could say it’s similar to antagonism.

Nostalgia is a kind of poison to animals and beasts.

Conversely, that drug is a poison that forcibly reduces the s*xual desire of animals.

It means to collide two things and dispel both effects at once.

Whatever the principle, it would be fortunate if I could not be affected by that rotten herb.

“Don’t worry, it’s a drug that doesn’t have too many side effects. Instead, take no more than two pills a day. Understand?”

“Ah…. Thank you professor.”

It wasn’t enough to keep the fact that the Beasts had entered the school a secret, and Tina seemed to have tears in her eyes as if she was grateful to Professor Erdil for helping out wholeheartedly.

Professor Erdil patted Tina’s animal ears and gently stroked her hair before returning to his seat.

Anyway, this shouldn’t be much of a problem. Worst case scenario, I thought I’d take care of the preparation myself.

“Good. I didn’t want to suffer alone.”

“… Heh, that’s right.”

“I’m glad she didn’t bother me,” Tina smiled brightly.

Yes. I’d rather have a real laugh.

It is not like this guy to give off a gloomy atmosphere as if the world was ruined like before.

It doesn’t matter if you get a little less grade than that, but anyway, it’s good that this guy is back as usual.

She genuinely thought so, even if it was a bit cheesy.

* * * *

After Tina’s problem was solved, our group quickly completed the task as if it were sailing in a tailwind.

With only four days left, I couldn’t devote all of the day to my assignments, but I did my best nonetheless.

Actually, that’s what he said, but the process wasn’t very smooth.

Not only Nostalgia, which is a nuisance, but also some herbs that require drying, grinding, or even soaking in water once and then drying twice.

Nevertheless, thanks to sharing the work and faithfully fulfilling their duties in each position, the day before the assignment was due, the final work was done.

Boogle Boogle.

Looking at the pale green liquid boiling in the pot, we made eye contact and gulped.

Now, when you add powder made by grinding and drying Nostalgia here, if the color changes to light pink, it’s a success.

Whether or not our past efforts will be in vain is decided here.

“Poo, sprinkle?”

“Yes.”

Tina speaks in a nervous voice while holding a cone-shaped piece of paper filled with nostalgia powder.

I was a little nervous too, but the one who wanted to leave my hands like that made me more anxious.

If someone spills the powder then someone will blame it later.

I was anxiously watching the situation, wondering if something like that would happen, but fortunately no accident happened.

As the yellow-brown powder dripped from the paper with a gurgling sound into the pot, Tina grabbed her spatula from her side and stirred the pot vigorously.

Maybe you didn’t want a ridiculous ending in which the process failed because the ingredients didn’t mix properly.

Pod. Pod.

“Huh!?”

“Get out of the way. I’ll just do it.”

Bubbles popped little by little in the middle and Tina flinched, so I took a spatula instead and stirred the contents.

At this rate, it was about time for a reaction to come out, but when I wanted to, I noticed that the pale green sticky liquid was slowly turning pink.

“Wow! Bell! I guess we got it right!”

“I went through such high school, of course I should.”

Unlike Tina, who ran wildly around the table, I calmly took the spatula out of the pot and wiped the contents with a thick cloth next to it.

Now, in this state, just add a little more water to adjust the concentration, and it’s done.

Wow!

It was scary to think that Tina was suddenly hugged, and the balance collapsed, almost causing a catastrophe.

This is the perfect match for the tail that rushes at me every now and again in case someone isn’t a puppy.

“Beel! You really suffered a lot because of me! Shall I rub your shoulder too? Or would you like a treat?”

“It’s okay, don’t cling to it. Are you a kid?”

“Because I’m happy! Hee hee.”

Even though he hadn’t submitted any assignments yet, he enjoyed the joy wagging his tail excitedly.

Hiding the ears and tail is a very frustrating act, so I told you not to hide it because it’s okay in front of me, but every time I see it, I keep taking my eyes off it.

The guy who blinked at me as if he had been caught by Tina turned around and openly showed his tail and asked.

“What are you looking at so closely? Are you interested in this?”

“Ah, no, not to the point of interest….”

I pretended not to and turned my head away, but to be honest, I’m interested.

What can I say? In this world, they are just a non-human race, but since I had a lot of interest in subcultures in my previous life, the beast race was something I wanted to see at least once.

If it was a dog or a cat, I would just call it cute, but the ears and tails of beasts have a different feel, and I want to touch them again and again.

But I’m not a pervert, so I can’t ask a girl if I can touch her ears and tail.

So, for three days, I couldn’t help but watch the tail wagging in front of my eyes, but unexpectedly, the other side lightly suggested it first.

“If you’re curious, would you like to touch it? I’m fine.”

“… Are you okay?”

“Yes. The tail of a beastman is not a very sensitive part unless it is a specific case.”

I don’t know what a specific case is, but anyway, do you mean a part that doesn’t cause a big problem even if others touch it normally?

It’s a bit strange.

When I was young, I remember grabbing the tail of a cat without knowing anything and being scratched.

“Now, don’t hesitate and touch it. You can even touch your ears.”

“Uh…. Hmm. That, yes.”

Tina pushed me into his head and tapped my waist with his tail.

Somehow, I felt that I was doing something a little harsh, but I thought it would be okay if the person concerned was okay and justified myself and cautiously reached out my hand.

Kwok.

“Hunyaat!?”

First of all, I was more curious about the soft-looking ears, so I pressed it lightly with a little force, and suddenly Tina straightened her back and let out a shrill scream.

What is it? Wasn’t it okay?

I asked in a worried tone as I saw the guy suddenly lowering his back and shaking his body.

“Hey, are you okay? Isn’t that overkill?”

“Dog, Ganchana…. Joe, I was just a little surprised.”

“… ….”

You don’t look good. How come the pronunciation is leaking?

Besides, if the expression looks similar to the moment when it attacked me three days ago when I went to the infirmary with the scent of Nostalgia all over my body, would it be my eyes mistaken?

“Hey, there…. Bell. I’m sorry, but can I touch you a little more… ?”

Somehow, the comment is similar to that time.

Now he sat me down on a chair and started wagging his tail right in front of me.

Following the ears, are you asking me to touch this as well?

‘Well, can you think of petting a cat’s fur?’

The reaction is a little strange, but I don’t think you need to be sensitive about it.

The person in charge says it’s okay, but it’s a bit difficult for me to stand up saying that I’m done now.

“Huh… !? Uh, there… !”

“… ….”

Anyway, can you keep your mouth shut?

Anyone who sees it will know that someone is doing something obscene in the workshop. Damn.
