Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 194

194 – Hard Misunderstanding

The lady I met again after a few days greeted me with a bright expression.

“Oops. Did you come to Cro? Welcome~.”

“Hello. She said her aunt asked her to come over, so she came without shame.”

The lady who heard me tilted her head with her puzzled eyes.

“Huh? Did I ask you to come over?”

“Yes?”

“·······.”

The eyes naturally look sideways. Gina avoids my gaze and turns her head.

In the midst of a slightly awkward silence, the lady clapping her hands to refresh the atmosphere.

“Whatever it is, it’s good to come to play! Do not be burdened and come often!”

“hahahaha. Thank you.”

“Then I’ll be making dinner in the kitchen, so can you wait?”

“Ah, then we can help you.”

“Okay. The boys come into the kitchen and there’s something to do. You are a guest, so get some rest.”

Your child is a girl, not a boy.

Of course, it’s a very anachronistic idea that gender can enter the kitchen.

But this is the 19th century, right? So, it’s not anachronistic, it’s well-preserved historical evidence.

When the aunt went to the kitchen and she was left alone, I looked at Gina.

In the end, the guy who couldn’t stand my gaze got angry and confessed.

“What! You promised! You said you would help my mom first!”

“I didn’t say anything, but why?”

“Ugh…!! It’s okay!!”

Oh, are you mad?

It seemed like it would bother me for a while if left as it was, so I immediately changed the subject.

“By the way, how is the lady? Has she changed anything since that day?”

“·······.”

I can’t be upset about such serious talk.

As expected, Gina let out a sigh and immediately began to open her mouth and talk softly.

“There is not much difference. Even if I try to induce them to talk, they seem to avoid it on purpose.”

“It seems that you are reluctant to recall your trauma unconsciously. After all, it is impossible to solve it overnight.”

The part related to the human mind is very sensitive, so it can be very dangerous if touched carelessly. So, it was necessary to approach it as carefully as possible.

But now that I think about it, isn’t educating Hayang a mental issue after all?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the most important issues at the moment have such an overlap. Quite an unfortunate coincidence.

Won’t it be possible to solve both problems at the same time by combining these?

But it doesn’t make sense to train her to snack like you do to Hayang. It was an ambiguous situation where it seemed as if she could see a way out, but it seemed as if she couldn’t get her hands on it.

“Come to dinner~!”

At the call of her aunt, she got out of her troubles and headed to the kitchen. When she saw the delicacies on the table, she forgot her worries for a moment and her mouth watered.

Yes. Let’s think about it after eating.

“I will eat well!”

It’s delicious. While eating such delicious home-cooked meals, I suddenly thought of the employees who would be working at the company. Are you going to get off work by now? Most likely, Juliet was still at her company, taking care of her business.

Since I hired people and got the company back on track, I’ve been maintaining a boss-style commute. To put it simply, there were often cases where I stopped by when I wanted to go and didn’t go at all when there were other things like today.

The reason you can do that is very simple. Juliet will take care of everything anyway.

Um. Looking at it like this, am I the boss who ate too much?

Obviously, at first, I tried to make Juliet depend on me, but now, on the contrary, I feel like I rely heavily on Juliet.

What if Juliet slaps me on the back of the head and gives it all to the Frankish kingdom?

To be honest, though, I did pamper him hard enough to understand. Could it be that this was my miserable doomsday scenario?

“What are you doing besides eating?”

From noble mtl dot com.

I barely came to my senses when I heard Gina’s voice from next to me.

Yes. It wasn’t a time like this. I said I wouldn’t rush, but couldn’t I do nothing and just eat and go back. You should try to talk to the lady even a little bit and find the possibility of treatment.

First of all, let’s take a slow approach to a topic that is not burdensome.

“Your mother is really good at cooking.”

“Whoops. Thank you for the delicious food she ate.”

“Are you thinking of teaching Jin how to cook?”

She opens her eyes wide, slightly taken aback, when suddenly her own name pops up.

Looking at that reaction, it seems that she doesn’t have confidence in cooking, unlike her aunt.

“Is it really necessary? I can make it like I do now. I’m happy just for my son to eat deliciously.”

When the lady smiled and talked about it, she smiled bitterly.

She is grateful for her mother’s heart for her, but seeing that she firmly believes that she is her son, not her daughter, anyone can help but feel that way.

I took a quick glance and fired an attack of conversion.

“But I have to think about it later. I will get married someday after graduating from the academy, and my husband will definitely be happy if I cook well.”

There was a moment of silence. Both mother and daughter didn’t seem to understand what I was saying right away.

Blinking her eyes several times, the old woman tilted her head and muttered blankly.

“… Husband?”

Oh. This is a good sign. Unlike the original reaction, when the subject of Gina’s gender was usually brought up, she seemed to be fine now.

Are you so absurd that you don’t even have time to stimulate your trauma?

On the contrary, Jina’s reaction was more intense than that of the lady. It’s to the point where I’m worried that this hardened stone-like thing might have turned on the trauma switch.

“·······.”

I feel even more embarrassed for reacting that far.

Honestly, it’s not that shocking, is it? Isn’t it something that can be brought up lightly just as a joke? Was the word marriage such a heavy word to take?

I poked her cheek with my finger, worried that she might have turned to stone and died.

Um. It’s soft and fluffy. It didn’t seem to have been affected by petrification magic.

Maybe thanks to the touch of her fingers, Gina begins to breathe again as if she had woken up from a spell.

My face slowly turned red, and then it turned completely red like a carrot.

“What, what, what, what…”

Oops. Following petrification magic, is it infant regression?

Looking at him repeating only one letter like a babble, his condition seemed more serious than I thought.

A woman who looks at us alternately with her eyes wide open, as if the appearance of such a son (daughter) is very unfamiliar.

I can’t believe that reaction…

Did you notice that Gina is her daughter!?

The lady with a shocked expression looked at us and carefully opened her mouth.

“It was like that. It seemed strange that the two of them were just friends of the same s*x.”

Yes. You noticed!

We are actually of the opposite s*x, not of the same s*x!

In other words, the child you thought was a son was actually a daughter!

I nodded, wiping away tears of joy.

“Right. Madam.”

“It was true… To be honest, it’s still hard to accept, but I’ll still support you as a mother.”

“Yes. Cheering···. Yes?”

Why does the word cheer come out of nowhere?

I was taken aback when a different answer than I expected came out, and I realized belatedly that something was seriously wrong in her words that followed.

“There will be many hardships on the road ahead of the two of them, but as a mother, I will always support them! The most important thing is to love each other…!”

“Yes? Uh···. Yes?”

No wait. It’s not like that. Why are people blaming people for being homos*xual out of nowhere?

Suddenly, deja vu comes to mind. I definitely felt like a similar composition unfolded in the class before coming here…

Looking at the lady, who seemed to have already turned her misunderstanding into a certainty, she had a hunch that if she didn’t explain right away, it would be quite difficult.

“Hey. Don’t just sit by and listen…”

The moment Gina turned her head to the side to ask for help.

I realized that the guy’s eyes were spinning round and round, and I realized that this guy’s current power is of no help at all.

“That, was it like that…? In fact, because he likes me… So when you get married, cook…”

“Hey. Please calm down If you do this to me, it will be really hard for me.”

Her head hurts. Where did I go wrong?

Obviously I thought my plan was perfect. I must have been in an arrogant illusion.

“If that’s the case, I’ll teach you how to cook! You want to eat food cooked by someone you love. It was natural, but I didn’t know that…”

“Sa, loved ones…!? Subtracting, subtracting is the subject…!!”

“hahahaha. I don’t know anymore.”

Ah, is this what a catastrophe is?
