love triangle (2)
Narsha, who went to work at the academy early in the morning, went to Peter’s Small Auditorium instead of the Magic Tower.
This is because there was a request from the academy to take charge of psychological treatment for the victims.
At first, of course, I refused. The Ministry of Magic also had a psychotherapy team, and they didn’t want to go out of their way to help others.
However, since the psychotherapy team went to the borders of the empire to support them, they were unable to come to the academy.
However, the Academy’s pride did not allow it to hire an outside private company. In addition, since they had a healing magician superior to them, Catherine, the owner of the Mage Tower, boasted that there was no need to use outside manpower.
······That’s me.
I don’t know if I should have discussed it first.
He shouted in front of Frederick and the Ministry of Magic officials.
Even though it’s unpaid, I’ll give you all of my property if you want.
Please help alleviate the suffering of the innocent and pitiful victims.
If I refused for nothing, it was obvious that I would be branded as a psychopath who was indifferent to the suffering of others. I must have asked for it in a place where there are many eyes on purpose.
So, Narsha was put into psychotherapy.
It’s not a waste of time because it’s a good thing, but the process was very dissatisfying. To make matters worse, the working environment was not very good.
The waiting time was long, meals were not provided, and the door did not open well because the temporary wall was sagging.
thud-!
Narsha kicked the door in anger. But it didn’t even budge.
“Why is this fucking door not opening?”
Are we going to do it?
Yes, I was annoyed at the time, but it took me well.
Let’s see if you win or if I win.
Narsha pulled her right leg back as far as it could go. He kicked the door as hard as he could in his anger at Catherine.
bang-!
With a loud noise, the door of the psychotherapy room opened loudly, and the patients inside were startled. It was vividly visible from outside the door.
Still, they are patients in their own right, but did they treat them too harshly?
“Haha… the door doesn’t open well.”
Narsha smiled awkwardly and sat down. Opposite me were Leonard and Jeniel. All of them were spherical, but as the seat was the seat, the format had to be followed.
“Are you Leonard, the 45th contestant, and Jeniel, the 38th contestant?”
“yes. as you see.”
Leonard nodded as if it were natural. Narsha looked at Leonard with a puzzled look.
Do you think this bastard… asked someone because he didn’t know?
done. You did a great job yesterday, so I’ll just endure it once.
“It is confirmed. Before psychotherapy, you need to fill out a brief questionnaire.”
Narsha handed out a questionnaire to refer to for psychotherapy. While filling out the questionnaire, the condition of the patients was monitored.
While Leonard was relatively modest, Jeniel still looked uneasy. The hand holding the pen trembled. Her lips turned blue, and her pupils constricted, typical symptoms of anxiety.
I guess I’ll have to treat Jeniel first.
Just the moment I thought so.
“You will have to treat Jeniel first.”
Leonard was the first to speak.
“The condition is worse than it looks.”
“yes. It doesn’t even look good.”
Narsha sighed. I was annoyed that Ji was not a doctor, so he said things like this and that.
“It seems very serious.”
“It is not a fatal disease.”
“Postponing the survey and starting with treatment-”
“Ai-san, if you’re so worried, could you at least hold my hand…”
I barely calmed down my anger.
Yes, I saved people yesterday, so I’ll just endure it twice. Narsha said with a forced smile.
“Just holding hands has the effect of stabilizing the mind and body.”
He took Leonar’s hand and placed it on top of Jeniel’s hand.
“Like this. It’s a simple yes/no question and answer, so you can write it with one hand, right?”
“····yes.”
“Then stop talking and fill out the questionnaire.”
Leonard kept his mouth shut. The two held hands and completed the survey, and Narsha looked closely at the contents.
Insomnia and loss of appetite.
There is no vomiting or hallucinations.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no problems other than anxiety.
After checking the questionnaire for about two minutes, Narsha looked at Jeniel.
Jeniel, whose complexion had improved a lot, was sleeping face down on the desk. It would not be enough to describe her as a princess sleeping like a peaceful baby.
Even the same woman looked pretty.
Indeed, the appearance that can be called one color.
This time he turned his head and looked at Leonard. He was looking at Jeniel with a worldly sweet expression. I didn’t let go of the hand I was holding.
“…?”
I felt strange seeing it.
It’s not that I’m jealous, but I was somehow upset.
It’s been quite a while since the relationship ended, but there’s nothing left but hatred, let alone regret.
Why do I hate seeing him holding another woman’s hand?
Is this because he’s an ex-boyfriend?
Narsha lightly snorted and placed her hand on Jeniel’s forehead. When Leonard tried to wake Jeniel, he stopped him.
“it’s okay. You can be treated while you sleep.”
“Oh yeah?”
“yes.”
After that, the conversation ended abruptly. In the quiet psychotherapy room, only the sound of healing magic was heard.
Geeing-
An awkward current hovering between the two.
Leonard looked around the psychotherapy room, rolling her pupils, and Narsha watched while pretending to be absorbed in treatment.
Then Leonard said.
“Did you go alone yesterday?”
“uh? yes.”
“sorry. I was so distracted that I couldn’t even speak.”
“no, that’s fine. I understand that much.”
Seeing Leonard’s wry smile, Narsha shook her head as if it were natural.
I heard that he was on the brink of exhaustion, but asking for a tailing service was an outrageous request, even though he couldn’t say that he had worked hard for the person who prevented the disaster.
Come to think of it, I never once said that I did a good job.
He drove me home every time and even saved me from Ryan.
Am I being too harsh?
“·······”
Narsha looked at her with a sidelong glance.
someday i’ll have to tell you
It’s embarrassing to say that out of the blue.
Narsha, who had been thinking about this and that, decided to speak up. I brought up the newspaper I had read in the morning.
“I thought you were kind of great? The newspapers were all about you.”
“In the newspaper?”
“Well… it was a barrier that even experts couldn’t interpret, or it was a skill worthy of a magical genius. So, you look great. Not me, but the reporter.”
I felt Leonard’s gaze at the sudden praise. Narsha fixed her gaze on Jeniel.
I felt like my cheeks were turning red.
“I heard there will be a commendation from the emperor soon? It’s like living altruistically lately, and solving this case. suffered in many ways. It’s kind of… cool.”
“·······”
Leonard said nothing. I just smiled lightly and looked at it.
“My, not me, the reporter said that.”
“Where is the newspaper?”
“Why? What do you know?”
Narsha blurted out her words.
Just in time, Jeniel’s psychotherapy ended, so I was able to move on.
“It’s done. Since the treatment for participant 38 is over, give me your forehead.”
“already?”
“It doesn’t end in one go anyway. So don’t talk nonsense and roll up your forehead.”
Psychotherapy was similar to laser hair removal, if I had to compare it.
At the time of treatment, it healed perfectly, but as time passed, it slowly recurred, so I had to receive constant treatment.
Swoop-
Leonard brushed up his bobbed hair and pressed his face. It would have been a humiliating moment for anyone else, but Leonard’s face was an exception.
As if proving that it wasn’t hair, he boasted a perfect appearance.
“Five······”
Narsha was involuntarily amazed. I realized once again that I was amazingly handsome.
In particular, the deep eyes were still enchanting. Enough to remind me of the moment I fell in love with Leonard for the first time.
Narsha, who stared blankly for a moment,
chin-
Instead of forehead, I put my palm between my eyes and nose. Because her face was so small, it covered almost half of her face.
“Ouch! Hey… is this correct?”
“Oh, that’s a lot to say. You can do this, so be quiet.” “Yes, yes.”
＊＊＊
After the psychological treatment, he returned to the interrogation room for further testimony.
This time, it was a testimony about the participants’ involvement in murder.
The subjects included Leonard, Jeniel, Elia, Claton, and Raella, but other testifiers, except for me, postponed their testimony due to mental pain.
Ki-Ik-
In the spacious interrogation room sat Joharton, an officer of the Ministry of Magic, and his secretary.
Johatten stood up and held out his hand.
“You must be having a hard time, but thank you for responding to the additional statement. Professor Leonard.”
“no. It is natural.”
We shook hands and sat down. And then he immediately started making statements.
Since it was a sensitive matter where sentences could be decided by a single word, I said without lies what I had seen and heard.
The secretary who was recording the statement only blinked, and Johatten put on a devastated expression.
“It is terrifying to hear. An extreme situation where the bottom of humanity is revealed.”
“·······”
“It’s really amazing that you kept your composure until the end and interpreted the barrier. It’s a wonderful mindset.”
“·······”
When I heard that, I suddenly fell into thought.
The reason I didn’t lose my composure wasn’t because I had strong mental strength.
It was possible because there was a belief that his life would not be directly threatened and he would interpret the barrier.
If he possessed an ordinary student instead of Leonard.
So, if I were in a situation right before my death, would I be any different?
Wouldn’t it have been a sabotage operation?
It was a question that even I couldn’t answer.
“What are the sentences of the perpetrators?”
“Well…it’s such an unusual case that it’s hard to be sure until the gavel is struck. My guess is that it will end in a short prison term or a huge fine.”
“okay.”
“Oh. And His Majesty the Emperor is said to be giving a commendation.”
Johatten said congratulations sincerely. But I wasn’t happy at all.
The emperor I set up wasn’t the one to give a reward just for something like this.
This must be an extension of the doubt about [Foresight].
“They say within this week at the earliest, but I’ll probably get in touch personally.”
“All right. Then I’m fine.”
I bowed briefly and left the interrogation room. The academy was uncharacteristically empty during the semester.
Classes were suspended for a week for the safety of students.
However, the mage tower operated as usual.
That meant that she had to take Narsha with her today as well. But for some reason, he said he goes at 8 o’clock for a week.
There is no way that the research distance will fall.
It was probably because he was considerate so that I could get a good rest.
Your efforts so far are slowly paying off.
It was at that time that I headed to the office with a proud heart.
Jeniel walked out of the Hectare Hall entrance. Enraged, Jeniel got into the waiting car and left the academy.
You seemed to be in a good mood after receiving psychotherapy. Is there anything wrong?
“·······”
I do not know.
It’s not that I don’t have “mind reading”.
I didn’t mind and went to the office. When I got on the elevator and got off on the 7th floor, I ran into Karios this time.
“Uh, Leonard?”
Karios greeted me with a bright smile. A huge suitcase was placed next to him.
“I heard about yesterday. There’s a lot I want to say, but I’m a bit busy right now, so I’ll talk to you later.”
“Where are you going?”
“Immortal Knights joining test.”
“already?”
Karios’ entry test was scheduled to be conducted during vacation. At least in the original version.
“There was a situation, so it was a little earlier. Maybe I should be away for about 4 days. The lecture was also suspended, so it’s a good thing.”
“What is the matter-”
“I will tell you about that later. I’m busy.”
Karios took the elevator and went down slowly.
For some reason, I thought I knew why Jeniel was angry.
I’m afraid I can’t protect you by my side, to be away for 4 days.
The trial was an important part of Karios’ career, so it’s not that I don’t understand.
Right away, I also had to prepare for the [Imperial Guard Joining Test].
“·······”
I came into the office He spread his magic field and prepared to manifest offensive magic.
If ‘interpretation of attack techniques’ was the key in ‘Francis’ Quiz Game’, ‘attack magic expression’ was important in ‘Imperial Guard Joining Test’.
Of course, the attack magic didn’t affect whether or not it passed. But it will help save time. And only by reducing time could the number of victims of the tragedy be reduced.
Fortunately, with “Francis’ Quiz Game”, the attack technique has become somewhat advanced.
Since the restrictions on attack magic were also lifted, it was a worthy attempt.
The problem was the polishing site.
The office was on the wide side of about 40 pyeong, but it was too small to manifest offensive magic. If you don’t know if it’s a basic skill like fireball, it was a bunch to hone intermediate attack magic.
But to use the academy training ground, I can use attack magic! It’s like promoting… to build a training center in the mansion, you have to go back and forth cumbersomely with the tailing service every time…
A proper countermeasure was needed.
If it’s a place to practice attack magic secretly within the academy, is it the only way to donate a building?
In fact, there was an offensive magic training center in the academy, but there was no defensive magic training center.
This is because defensive magic can be sufficiently polished in a general training center unless it reaches the extreme level like 「Expedium」.
So even if I build a defense magic training center, I will be the only user. Coincidentally, there was a site left behind the LOHAS building.
Site, reason for construction, money, blueprint.
2 out of 4 were met.
The Adonis family is one of the most prestigious families in the empire, so money will rot and overflow. All that was left was one blueprint.
We needed a blueprint that meets the aesthetic standards of the academy and uses the space efficiently.
Actually, this wasn’t even a problem.
What you need for architectural blueprints is beautiful design and space efficiency.
and my talents
Talent characteristics
[Understanding space][Understanding magic]
What “understanding of space”.
In the first place, it is a wizard who separates ‘space’ and moves it to another ‘space’, but this blueprint was a piece of cake.
Although it lacked aesthetic sense, this could be solved sufficiently with the characteristic shop.
◆ Talent Attribute Shop
「Aesthetic sense」
+ 1000 points
500 points received while saving Elia in addition to the existing 1700 points. A total of 2200 points was enough to purchase 「Aesthetic Sense」.
Since I bought the [Offensive Magic Legend], I didn’t have anything worth spending the points on.
Tring-!
I drew a blueprint using “understanding of space” and “aesthetic sense”.
It was a skill comparable to that of Le Corbizier.
······
5 hours later.
smart-
A knock was heard in the president’s office. Frederick opened the door with 「Injury」.
As expected, it was Leonard.
“okay. He said he was donating the building, but he must have already obtained the blueprint.”
“That’s right.”
Leonard handed over the blueprints he had prepared.
I had a headache at the back of the LOHAS building, and I was willing to donate the building.
It was a proposal that the academy couldn’t help but welcome.
“Then I will see you.”
Frederick straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose. I narrowed my eyes and studied the blueprint carefully.
“······!!”
Frederick’s eyes widened. It was a very beautiful design. It was fantastic beyond words, and it far exceeded the Academy’s aesthetic standards.
I wanted to send a high praise, but Frederick didn’t express it.
“Kuhmm… I’ll have a meeting with the executives soon.”
Koi folded the blueprint and stored it in a drawer.
Afraid that he might change his mind, the conversation opened to finalizing the architecture.
“By the way, why are you suddenly donating a building?”
“That’s it… Actually, I also have a request for you.”
Leonard’s face became serious.
It was an expression she had seen several times before, when she asked for a potion.
He said he would donate the building, but he could have given the potion in liters.
“You mean the potion? If it’s not raising the dead, I’ll make anything.”
“It’s not a potion this time.”
But Leonard’s request wasn’t just a potion. I wanted something much more valuable than that.
“I need a Homecoming Stone.”
“If it’s a return stone… it should be easy to get?”
“However, it must be a hearthstone that can be used in the imperial palace.”
＊＊＊
That night.
Returning home, Narsha lay on the bed and pondered. No matter how much I thought about it, leaving work at 8 was irrational.
I don’t know if it’s today
Leaving work at 8 o’clock for a week or so was a clear waste of time.
Knowing that better than anyone else, knowing that I would regret it like this, I made a mistake as if possessed by something.
“I’m crazy…”
Narsha was worried while looking at the ‘purple crystal ball’ installed in the mansion. What did I do to look at the face and talk, what did I do to communicate at this time, and I was thinking of using the newly installed ‘text function’.
what should i send
If it was like usual- Of course, if it was usual, I wouldn’t have contacted you-‘Is this your wife?’ would have sent
But now things were different.
Since I was in the position to cancel the appointment, I had to take care of the minimum courtesy.
‘Are you sleeping?’ It was too businesslike.
‘Are you sleeping?’ it was still stiff.
‘Are you sleeping?’ this was so sweet
‘ruler······?’ I didn’t like it because I felt nostalgic.
I had no choice but to put a question mark on it, and I decided to send it to ‘Johnny’ in a simple way.
What should I send next? How should I break my promise?
I sent a text message thinking about it.
“Hmm······”
It’s probably best to be honest.
Let’s just say it was a slip of the tongue. I will understand you too. And what if Ji doesn’t understand?
Having made that decision, Narsha then tried to send a text message. However, when he saw the screen floating in the air, he froze.
“ah······”
Because I was distracted by excuses, I made a minor typo.
A fatal mistake with only one consonant difference, but a very different meaning.
[Leonard ▶ Cock (Shipped)]
It was literally a fucked up situation .
