From the moment I mastered the Intangible Sword and defeated Luciel, I thought I wouldn’t panic… .
“Why are you not talking?”
I am so embarrassed at this moment.
You can give any excuse to get over it… No, is there any excuse to get out of this situation?
“I called you just a while ago, and Sejin said that she was still on the way home from work. How did Mr. Kang get in?”
“… .”
Unable to answer, Kim Dae-chan’s expression hardens.
In a house where a 20-year-old daughter lives alone, a man came out without a daughter.
In the past, I thought of my daughter as just a tool for the development of the guild, but now they have reconciled.
Not too long ago, during a board meeting, he came to me and apologized and told me not to think badly of my daughter because of him.
If I were in Kim Dae-chan’s position, I would have gone out with my fist first.
“there… .”
I feel a vibration in my arms.
Bona mana Sejin must be the guy, but it’s already too late.
“Hey, maybe… .”
“I was going to have dinner with Sejin. I arrived a little early, so I came in first.”
Honesty is best when there are no answers.
There is a possibility that things will get more complicated if you lie clumsily for no reason.
It wasn’t that I was caught doing something wrong in the first place.
It’s hard to believe that being alone in a house without an owner would be nice, but it’s not like I didn’t ask for permission.
“no… That guy, Sejin, isn’t too careful. No matter how strong the teacher is. Home password… .”
“Ah, I didn’t think of that part because I was so casual with Sejin. Sorry. Actually, I was thinking of waiting in the car, but I thought it would be nice to come in advance and get ready… .”
“Are you ready?”
“I was getting ready to eat dinner right away… .”
To prove that my words are not false, I showed you a perfectly set table.
My mother answered that it was okay because she invited people and said that she had them work.
Mother seems to have agreed to some extent, but Kim Dae-chan still has a bad complexion.
“Hey, are you meeting our Sejin?”
“Yes?”
“No, what are you doing again? You said you had a dinner date when you called Sejin earlier.”
“But I didn’t say that I was eating with Mr. Kang. Besides, they told us to wait in the parking lot saying they would be arriving soon. It seems like he’s trying to hide it… .”
“That’s because it comes soon. Don’t burden Teacher Kang for nothing.”
“Aren’t you weird? No matter how much Mr. Kang is Se-jin’s teacher, I don’t think it’s a bit far-fetched to tell him the house password. Besides, you and I are told to wait in the parking lot, and Mr. Kang is told to come in first?”
“I guess it was because you were afraid you would embarrass Mr. Kang in this way.”
“What am I? You just have to tell the truth that Mr. Kang is waiting for you at home. You stay still, Mr. Kang, and you talk.”
Reasoning is quite sharp.
Well, come to think of it, Kim Dae-chan was a master of hair from the time of the duel to the point of planning to create a draw by exhausting the magician who used the barrier.
Even if he regretted it, his head wouldn’t have gone anywhere.
“I am not dating Sejin.”
Now that I know that Sejin has a crush on me, I’m closer than before, but strictly speaking, I’m not dating.
“is it… .”
Surprisingly, I agree with it, but I feel like I’m disappointed because of something a little strange.
“Are you really going to keep doing this? Professor Kang, I’m sorry.”
“Yes? no.”
“I think it was because I thought it would be better not to run into each other, considering what you did to Mr. Kang.”
“yes… . I guess so.”
“Anyways you.”
“Sorry for the misunderstanding.”
Fortunately, it seems to have gone well.
The irony is that in the past, Kim Dae-chan was a patriarchal figure who bullied not only Se-jin but also his mother, but was it because he repented?
Looking at it today, it seems that the one who has the initiative is not Kim Dae-chan, but my mother.
“It is already in the past. I got an apology and I forgot about it all.”
Soon after, Sejin arrived.
They didn’t kiss each other, but luckily Sejin wasn’t completely ignorant, so they passed safely.
But for dinner, not two, but four.
At first, Kim Dae-chan and his mother said that they would leave only the side dishes because Se-jin was coming, but it became a problem when they asked to eat together as a pretense.
Kim Dae-chan still said that I would just go, but my mother quickly agreed.
The meal was more uncomfortable than I thought.
Of course, from the outside, it wasn’t a bad atmosphere at all.
It wasn’t that we just ate without saying anything, and it wasn’t that the conversation was interrupted by talking about Sejin or school.
It’s not just because I ate with Kim Dae-chan.
Saying that I forgot everything earlier wasn’t something I said in a pretense.
The reason I was uncomfortable was because of my mother, not Kim Dae-chan.
My mother kept pushing meat in front of me and recommending a lot of side dishes and taking care of it.
Kim Dae-chan didn’t say anything in particular, but I noticed that he didn’t care at all and only took care of me.
So I don’t know if the rice went down my nose or down my throat.
It may seem a bit overdone.
“I just brought some pineapples and oranges, so please have some fruit for dessert.”
“Ah yes.”
“What kind of fruit do you eat? stop going.”
This time, I am of the same opinion as Kim Dae-chan.
Originally, I planned to go to meet Luciel and Master immediately after eating.
If I go late, how much more will I be ripped off… .
“At home, you always eat. If you want to go, you go first. I’m going to take care of Sejin more.”
However, Kim Dae-chan sat down without replying to his mother’s words, so they ate all the fruit and returned an hour later.
“there… Sir, were you surprised today?”
“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised. It was really dark in front of my eyes.”
“Suddenly, a phone call came and asked me to eat out, so I said I couldn’t because I had an appointment, but then they said they would bring me some fruit… .”
“Right.”
“I asked to wait in the parking lot and called the teacher right away, but my mom hung up too late… . sorry.”
“Sorry what? are you okay. Still, it went off without a hitch.”
They understood me for not being indecisive in choosing, but this much is nothing.
* * *
Good times go fast, but I think that’s true.
As every day was peaceful without any special incident, there was only one day left until the festival.
After the festival is over, the final exams are held, and after the final is over, it is vacation.
And when the vacation is over, the original work finally begins.
A lot has changed because of the existence of the country, so I’m worried because I don’t know how things will go, but on the other hand, I’m also looking forward to it.
“There is a match tomorrow, so let’s stop here for today to manage our physical condition.”
“Yes. thank you for your effort.”
“Thanks for your efforts.”
It has been reduced by half compared to when the reinforcement was first started.
Because not all of the guys in the swordsman class I was entrusted with made it to the finals.
The three of them, Eunseo, Eunsu, and Jinsu, and two third-year students made it to the finals.
Of course, I didn’t favor my kids, and I taught them all the same improved parfait, but since my kids learned it from last year, there is no choice but to be different in their proficiency.
In addition, as the number of people increased, the match naturally twisted.
In particular, Minhee stuck with Jinsu this year as well.
I wondered if Jinsu would notice, but surprisingly he was very resolute.
Rather, Min-hee couldn’t show off her skills properly against Jin-soo.
“Teacher, this year, please go to America with me.”
Since Jin-soo defeated Min-hee and went up, he is burning his fighting spirit to win the championship and go to WHCU this year.
He’s not just talking, he’s working really hard without skimping or complaining.
However, there are two mountains to overcome in order to do so.
It is Eunsoo and Eunseo.
Students often engage in sparring with each other in reinforcement classes, but Eun-soo has a slight advantage with a score of 6:4.
Because Eunsoo is a perfect talent who has both literary and martial arts skills, from the original work to the student council president.
But what really surprised me was Eunseo.
Eunseo is an excellent student, but honestly, last year… No, even until the first semester of this year, if I had to pick who was the better out of the two, I would have picked Eunsoo without hesitation.
If the original story goes on as it is, Eunseo will be the vice president next year, but honestly, that is the trickle-down effect of her twin sister Eunsoo.
Because the two are running together.
Originally, she had a timid personality, so it felt like she was being carried a little by her older sister.
However, Eun-seo has the best record among the reinforcement students.
It is 8:2 with Jinsu and 7:3 with Eunsu.
In fact, there is not that much of a difference between Eunsoo and Eunseo.
A piece of paper at most?
However, just as Min-hee couldn’t show off her skills to Jin-su, Eun-soo has a feeling of being a bit soft towards Eun-seo.
Eun-soo also said that she would not look at her as a younger brother in the actual competition, so it would be very exciting for the two to meet in a martial arts competition.
To be honest, last year’s martial arts competition was not very fun because Sejin was so overwhelming.
I went to the store with the kids to buy a drink and then went back to the dormitory and immediately used warp magic.
My vision changes in an instant, but my eyes are pouring.
The first snow has not yet fallen in Seoul, but it is Gangwon-do.
As soon as I enter the portal, there is no master, and Luciel with a mouth full of chocolate greets me.
“Do you show off everything you ate?”
I wipe it with my hand, but the expression is not serious.
“Why are you so late?”
“It’s late, I came right away without washing. Master?”
“I’m eating the inspirational ramen.”
Maybe it’s because he’s with Luciel, or he doesn’t come once a week like before, but since he comes almost every day, Master doesn’t come out to meet him these days.
He said he was a little sad a few days ago, so he said he was stepping out of the way to like me… Anyway, if you can’t say anything.
When I came to the camper with Luciel, I saw that I had already eaten and the water was boiling again.
“Are you here?”
“Hey, Master, from tomorrow, Shin Hyuk says the school festival. I want to go too, but how can I not?”
“Hey, Master? yes man!”
“Why, you didn’t call me old man again and called me master.”
“How many times have I told you not to call me Master? Be respectful and polite… .”
“I’m fed up with his nagging. Okay, okay, okay?”
“Even if this guy speaks. will you? Of course not.”
“It’s not that I’m going to go all five days, isn’t it okay for at least one day?”
“My older sister would have told me that the moment I left here for even half a day, I would lose my balance.”
“Then why don’t we just watch Shinhyeok and the stray cat go on a date together?”
“Oh, he must have spent a lot more time with you than Shin-hyeok spent with his son-in-law. Shinhyuk Kang over there, why are you smiling? After all, you are the culprit.”
“Smile? Heh, do you really like going on a date with a stray cat?”
I laughed because it was nice to see the two of them arguing.
Anyway, there is no other incarnation of jealousy.
“What a date is, it’s just coming to the school festival. Sejin also has a schedule and said he only comes for two weekends.”
“still… .”
“I have a lot to do, so I won’t have time to walk around with you.”
I’m in charge of class events and reinforcing martial arts competitions.
“okay. So, are you going to stop by for lunch?”
“of course. I’ll stop by even if it’s a little shorter than usual.”
“Promise.”
He said he understood and held out his pinky finger, but Luciel shook his head with a sullen expression.
“We did it your way last time, so this time we should do it our way.”
“I have a master, but that’s a bit… No, wait. Aren’t you lying too?”
“ah… no it’s not. Have you been to heaven?”
I haven’t been there, so I have nothing to say, but it’s suspicious that he stutters.
