179 – big and small(1)
[Everyone had a hard time for 4 years. ]
Ahn Hyun-do, chairman of the board of directors, stood on the podium in the main auditorium and began to congratulate and congratulate the graduates.
“Professor Baek. I think you should prepare.”
“… … .”
When I looked at Jayden, who approached me while looking at my eyes, he flinched and evaded my gaze.
‘Damn it.’
Originally, the graduation ceremony should have been held on January 28th. However, the guy who is now standing on the podium and making a lot of noise returned late from the crack, so the graduation ceremony was held today, February 3rd.
-Help me just once… … .
-Ah, second! Do you think you want to deal with the people who do politics as me?
-… … But isn’t there really nothing to throw at it? He’s a tight-knit friend who doesn’t make jokes… … .
Perhaps he felt sorry for the graduates, but Ahn Hyun-do asked them to attend the graduation ceremony and say a few words. It wasn’t something a guy who was already in debt to me would bring up, so of course I declined.
However, the guy, forgetting how old he had been, lay down on the floor of the chairman’s office and staged a protest. At first, I laughed out loud because I couldn’t believe he owed me money.
However, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to replace the chairman with another person at the foolishness of the guy who would go beyond the request and even abandon the original promise. It might be a little cumbersome, but I decided that it would be much better to use than now.
[Even if you go out into society, the Arena Academy’s… … . ]
However, the guy is now on the podium and is making fun of his mouth.
As soon as he was slammed against the wall of my office, he showed his willingness to surrender, and I accepted his request on the condition that he take care of a few additional things.
It wasn’t difficult to appoint a substitute, but it was a reasonable choice since it was difficult to find a human with the same level of military power as Ahn Hyeon-do and giving affection to the students.
[ then… … . ]
“professor. You can go up now.”
I went up on the podium at Hyundo Ahn and Jayden’s signal.
There was no eruption of enthusiastic cheers and applause.
He just quietly looked up at me with a hot gaze while holding his breath.
4th year graduates.
A school year where children whose names have never been mentioned, let alone their faces, have gathered in this and that side of their memories. And he spoke to the guys who were alive and breathing properly.
“Set your priorities. Life, wealth, fate, dreams. Anything is good. Use it as a weight to judge and act. Then at least you won’t regret it to the point of dying.”
just like me now
After saying that, I turned around and came down the podium. Of course, there was no applause this time either.
“hahahaha… thank you for your effort.”
I passed Jayden, who came quickly and looked at me. There’s no reason to stay here any longer, so it’s best to leave quickly.
“Well, Professor Yoon Do-sik said that if you have time, let’s have lunch together… … .”
“Are you in the lab?”
“Yes? Ah yes. You are in the lab.”
I left the auditorium without answering.
February 3rd.
Baekhana is the ninth winter day.
At the same time, it was also the day I was kicked out of my own mansion.
**
By the time the graduation ceremony was in progress.
“Wow… … It is very wide.”
Baek Ha-na, who opened the door to move her luggage to her newly assigned dormitory room, was amazed at how much larger it was than the room she shared with Lee Na-young.
“It’s too wide to use alone… .”
Baek Ha-na, who had been assigned a private room due to a combination of factors, scratched her cheek for a moment and then lightly went inside the boxes that had been placed on the floor. And I unpacked and organized without any worries.
Clothes and school uniforms in the closet.
The diary and handwritten notes are on the bookshelf next to the desk.
Other snacks that were received as gifts were neatly arranged by type on the refrigerator, shelf, and table. In fact, sorting the snacks took much longer than sorting the above two.
“It is one. it’s over?”
Nam Seo-hee stuck her face out through the slightly open front door and asked.
“Yeah, it’s all over.”
Hana Baek placed the boxes neatly next to the closet, then turned off the lights and left the room.
“It’s too wide to use alone… … .”
“Then why don’t we sleep together only when we sleep?”
Nam Seo-hee, who was assigned the next room, secretly crossed arms with Baek Ha-na and asked.
“Uh, um, ho, you should get used to being alone… … yes… .”
Very rarely, Hana Baek rejected Nam Seo-hee’s offer.
The reason was that for the past few days, whenever I wake up after sleeping, I have been plagued by Nam Seo-hee’s sleeping habit of sleeping with my face buried in my back and hugging my pelvis.
Baek Ha-na, who managed to cover it up moderately, went downstairs with Nam Seo-hee.
“Aren’t you running quickly?”
Idney, who was helping Lee Na-young to carry her luggage, shouted at the two who were walking slowly. Even though the two of them joined together and the youngest Na Yeon-joo helped, Lee Na-young’s luggage was finished after a little over an hour.
“When did you say you were coming back, Professor?”
“6 o’clock? He said he would be back before 7 at the latest.”
“… It’s five hours, even if it’s plenty.”
After unpacking, the children went straight back to the mansion without leaking the other way. And then Hell’s Kitchen began.
“No, this year? I told you to cut the skin, but what if I peeled the inside and threw it away?”
“Crazy bitch!! Doesn’t it cook quickly by putting it on high heat? The outside is burnt and the inside is undercooked, so tell me to cook over low heat a few times!!”
“Keep it off!! Noodles will stick, so keep stirring!!”
Surprisingly, out of six people including Na Yeon-joo, Edney was the only one with cooking skills. At the same time, Idney, who became the only strong player, had to suffer endlessly from his fucking friends who got out of my control and cooked it at will.
-Beep~
Oh oh oh oh oh oh.
And Claire, who took a step back and watched the chaos together with the fairy.
“As expected, I’m a little—”
“ah!! never!! Executor, have a good rest today!!”
“… yes.”
Claire, who was about to sneak into the kitchen, blinked a few times at Idney’s scolding, who was angry like a demon, and then quietly stepped back.
He had already cooked for nearly 8 years, but with the exception of stew, Edney had already ruled out his superiors because Claire had destructive cooking skills.

Roaring——!!
“Kyaaak?!”
“Hey you crazy bitch!!”
Maria, who had been roasting tenderloin over a strong fire, poured white wine over it, and a splendid flame soared in the kitchen.
**
“… hehehe, welcome.”
After forcibly spending time with Yoon Do-shik and Jayden, I returned to the mansion and was led by the hand of Baek Ha-na, who was waiting at the front door, to the kitchen.
“”welcome.””
When I arrived in the kitchen, five children greeted me.
‘They did it loudly.’
Black scorch marks clearly left on the walls and ceiling of the kitchen. Not only that, but a few pots and pans were missing.
“We made it… … Try it and rate the taste.”
As if she herself was a bit stung, Baek Ha-na asked me using honorifics for the first time in a while.
‘The appearance looks plausible, but… … .’
I tasted the food that was on the table one by one. And it was easy to evaluate.
“The pasta is not seasoned at all.”
“Ugh… … .”
Nam Seo-hee flinched.
“The steak is bloody, but I don’t know why the wine bursts when you chew it. It may not be for sale, but it is quite an interesting dish.”
“… … .”
Maria’s cheeks blushed little by little.
“The risotto rice was undercooked… The pizza is just plain good.”
Lee Na-young and Na Yeon-joo lowered their heads at the same time.
“The kimchi stew was great.”
“Oh… … .”
Edney bit his lip and forcibly grabbed the corner of his mouth that was about to rise.
“And muffins… … .”
I sighed briefly as I tapped the chocolate muffins that were piled up on the paper cup.
“… Too sweet.”
“Well, it wasn’t that sweet… … ?”
I sighed again inwardly at the muttering of Baek Ha-na. Why is the sense of taste not working when the other sensory organs are so sensitive?
‘As expected, buying chocolate that day was the problem.’
Baek Ha-na’s curiosity on her first visit to the department store gave her a piece of chocolate for children. Baek Ha-na’s deformed sense of taste is probably the cause.
“Don’t leave anything behind, let each one take responsibility for what they make and eat it all.”
I left the crying children behind and walked to the study.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
While I was sitting in my study and enjoying my coffee, Hana Baek cautiously opened the door and poked her head out.
“Come in.”
“… … lol.”
He approached me with a slightly stupid smile.
“This, this.”
Then he brought out the black box he had been hiding behind his back.
I took it and opened the lid.
“It’s a handkerchief.”
“… … yes.”
black and white.
He looked at the two contrasting handkerchiefs for a moment before closing the lid again.
“thanks.”
“really… … ?”
He nodded his head at the man who was wiggling his fingers.
“yes.”
“… … lol.”
Only then did he smile like an idiot again and returned to his desk and stood next to me. Then, after a sneak peek, he carefully sat down with his butt on top of his thigh.
“It’s heavy.”
“That’s a lie!!”
The guy who was shyly looking up at me with a blushing face opened his eyes wide at my words and shouted.
Without answering, I quietly stroked the hair of the guy sitting on my lap.
“… It is the 4th of February.”
The guy who calmly accepted my touch looked at the clock on the desk and said so.
“Happy Birthday.”
“… … yes.”
A pure white guy leaning his head on his shoulder with a light smile.
“I didn’t prepare any presents, but if you want something, tell me.”
“Are you going to get me anything?”
“No way.”
“Cheese… … In the past, you said you would listen to anything.”
“Yeah, because all you had on your mind back then was something to eat.”
“Oh, isn’t it?”
A pure white lump that drools when you fall asleep.
A tomboy who ran wild, swallowing chocolate and sweets.
That guy has grown up quickly.
“If you don’t have anything you want, stop going.”
“… I have… … .”
He raises his head slightly and looks up at me again.
“That, basic rift science lecture… … I want to hear more… Yo… … .”
“Do it.”
“… … uh?”
Perhaps my answer was unexpected, he asked me with a surprised face.
“Gee, really? Is it okay if I really listen?”
“yes.”
“… I’m in the second year now?”
“Check the timetable later and don’t be late.”
“… … Are you really going to listen?”
“If you ask me one more time——”
“Oh no!! yes!! Gee, I won’t be late. lol… … So, good night… !!”
After rubbing my cheek against my shoulder a couple of times, he got down from my thigh and left the study as if running away.
Alone, I carefully stored the black box in a drawer and leaned back in my chair.
‘I’m sure my stomach hurts later.’
The basic crack science lecture erased the ‘basic’ and entered the second year lecture under the name of crack science lecture. The number of people has already been discussed with the chairman to keep the existing seven people as they are. Of course, since we decided to issue a separate official document about the policy of the chairman after the beginning of the semester, there is nothing to be bothered about with students.
“It’s a self-inflicted thing.”
I opened the journal, savoring the remaining coffee.
**
March 2nd.
The day when the senior students start their semester and the new students begin their adjustment period.
[Our freshmen also have the right to listen to Professor Baek Woo-jin’s lecture!!]
“”there is! there is!””
Hundreds of students gathered in front of the main building and protested.
On my way to the annex, I stopped for a moment and looked at the face of the person standing at the forefront.
[Chairman immediately… … ]
A bug wearing a student’s mask was screaming to be killed.
