232 – Daily life after a long time
“hahahaha, surprisingly, the response is good… ?”
It was very unexpected.
Heroes have shown active interest in my 1:1 lessons.
Actually, I expected that Ms. Aedrine and Ms. Miz would show a generous response.
The amount given is the same.
But-
“… “
“… “
Miss Kasha and Miss Hwivien.
The two people raised their hands almost at the same time as Ms. Miz and very passionately, but were looking away from me as if they were not interested in anything.
I had no idea that even two people would be interested in my 1:1 teaching.
Miss Kasha and Miss Hwivien who are cooperatively teaching me?
I couldn’t even imagine.
It’s easier to imagine a T-Rex debuting as an idol.
‘Oh, of course.’
But when I thought about it, it wasn’t really that strange.
This lesson is to completely end this situation.
We, Ms. Kasha and Miss Hwivien, who have a clear distinction between public and private affairs, decided to completely exclude personal feelings and cooperate with me entirely for the greater good.
‘As expected, our heroes.’
I looked at Miss Kasha and Miss Hwivien with great respect.
“… What. What. What you looking at.”
“Don’t be mistaken! “This is to cooperate in ending the situation you mentioned!”
“No, it’s okay.”
“Profit-“
“Tsk…”
I said the right thing and chimed in, but Miss Hwivien and Ms. Kasha reacted as if they had been teased.
Have we now reached a point where teasing is not good and we are being teased even when we are not teasing?
How can I be this reassuring?
Even if the sky falls, as long as there are those two people, I don’t think I will die from not being able to make fun of myself.
“So. What should I do?”
Miss Kasha glared at me and gestured.
Our heroes were all looking at me with their hands raised.
I said I would give 1:1 lessons, and there were five applicants.
Somehow, it seemed like our heroes were telling us to choose one person among them.
“Then, shall we try taking a class with Ms. Miz?”
***
“Oh.”
Miz looked up at her raised hand.
“Bauler’s arm can do something. “That’s amazing.”
“Wait a minute!!! What is that!!! It’s unfair! “What on earth is this standard!?”
At that time, Hwivien began to squirm passionately.
“What is the standard? “It must be a very reasonable and fair standard that anyone can understand without having to listen.”
Contrary to what she said, Kasha looked at her Ceylon with her arms crossed in a very crooked posture.
“Ceylon. I think fairness is important in things like this. “Can you tell me what the standards are?”
Drin questioned Silon with an unnecessarily serious expression.
“Well, everyone – first of all, calm down… uh… But actually, I’m a little curious too… lol… “
Aedrin scratched her cheek and glanced at Ceylon out of the corner of her eye.
Ceylon, without fail, made a mistake.
The fact that they showed a strong interest in Ceylon’s 1:1 tutoring did not exclude personal feelings, but on the contrary, it was an action filled with personal feelings.
Perhaps that’s why Ceylon naturally attached meaning to Miz’s first choice and felt a sense of crisis(?).
“What is the standard?” “
Ceylon trailed off her words.
From Noble mtl dot com
She expects something like a reasonable and fair standard for herself.
‘It’s just that Ms. Miz narrowly came in first and chose it… ‘
Actually, it wasn’t such a strange standard.
If it were fair, it would be perfectly fair.
However, looking at the girls who seemed to expect a grand answer from me, I had a feeling that I shouldn’t be honest.
In the end, Ceylon decided to ‘do it’.
After observing her, he placed his index finger in front of her lips –
“… “Is it a secret?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!!!”
The response was explosive.
“This is unacceptable! Such denial! “I will formally demand that selection be carried out fairly and transparently!”
Whivienne crossed her arms, puffing out her upper body like a threatening baby bird.
“Wow~”
Clap~clap~.
Kasha responded with enthusiastic cheers and applause.
“That is a fair point, Miss Leolian.”
“Wealth, denial… Is it that serious? I want to, but still, I agree for now… ~”
“hehehehe… I think there’s something wrong with you guys. “It doesn’t matter one bit who is first.”
“Because it’s important!”
“I guess so.”
“It is important.”
“Important… “Maybe?”
Is that so?
Is it important?
Ceylon began to shake due to their stubborn stubbornness.
Hwivien did not miss that.
“How about this? “We will spar among ourselves and decide on the first one.”
“Oh my God, Miss Whitler. Trying to find the answer in violence. “This instructor began to worry about Ms. Hwisaengdo’s future.”
“What! Because it’s sparring!? Holy couplet! You sound like violence! Then what kind of violence do you and Ain Academy teach!?”
“hahahaha, is that how the story goes? However. “Then how about we decide to play rock, paper, scissors instead?”
“You’re making such an important decision just like that!? Are you out of your mind!?”
“?”
Ceylon, who was watching Whivien squirming in frustration at the oddly disjointed conversation, suddenly caught his eye on Miz.
Ah.
Miz, feeling Ceylon’s gaze, nodded her head once and spoke.
“Because I’m fine. Don’t mind.”
“Huh… ! How considerate!!! By the way, if Ms. Miz says that, Miss Whivien’s appearance now… !”
“Ugh… !”
Hwivien’s momentum waned.
She looked at Miz carefully and said.
“I’m sorry… Come to think of it… They continued the story without asking for your opinion… “
Miz’s harmless presence calmed down the girls who were expressing their cute aggression towards Ceylon.
I wondered if the first order to which they gave special meaning was solidified-
“Then how about doing it like this?”
Suddenly, Miz had a good idea and suggested it to the girls.
“You decide between a red woman and a blue woman.”
“A red woman and a blue woman?”
In response to Ceylon’s question, Miz looked up at him and said.
“I don’t know about you, but the cadets’ outings have been greatly restricted since the warlock attack incident.”
“Huh. Is it because of me?”
Dori Dori.
“Thanks to the idiot, it ended up like this. Everyone is thankful.”
Right?
Miz turned to look for consent.
“Of course! How grateful we are to Ceylon!”
“Besides that, I will never forget the kindness that Ceylon gave me in saving me.”
“…Hmph. I’m once again asking the obvious…”
“Aren’t we once passionate followers who diligently followed the footsteps of ‘Smiling Face’?”
They also honestly revealed their true feelings this time.
It is true that Ceylon has rotted them to the core.
The moment they were in danger, it was he who came forward and protected them faster than anyone else.
“hahahaha, what is this atmosphere all of a sudden? Would anyone see me thinking I’m changing schools?”
Seylon imitated the characteristics of Squinted Eyes without even realizing it.
It was that he was weak to honest kindness.
He reacted to their pure kindness as if he were a child of darkness touched by light.
Out of shame, I made a mischievous smile and said something dishonest.
But now, they had grown accustomed to the man called Ceylon.
They knew that Ceylon’s reaction now came from a feeling of embarrassment.
Smirking.
The girls used the same facial expressions they usually made when Ceylon was making fun of them.
He looked at Ceylon with such a mischievous expression.
“Hmm. So, what is it? Is it because going out is greatly restricted?”
For the first time, Ceylon, who was the one being teased by the girls rather than the one making fun of them, hastily changed the topic.
“As going out was severely restricted, the cadets began to look for ways to quietly pass the time inside the academy. This card game became popular: the red woman and the blue woman.”
“Wow… You have no idea what the card game is just by hearing the name. It stimulates people’s curiosity.”
“Are you interested?”
“Now that Ms. Miz is talking, I’m gaining an interest that I didn’t know I had before.”
“Really? That’s good.”
“Hmm?”
I don’t know where she came from, but before she knew it, Miz was holding a pack of cards in her hand, and she was playing with them skillfully.
“Then let’s do this: Play cards to decide who goes first.”
“Eeh~?”
Everyone except Miz laughed in unison.
Playing cards?
Suddenly?
“If you don’t like it, just let me be the first.”
“…”
“Do you want to join in, fool?”
“I’m interested, but I don’t know the rules, so I’ll just watch what you guys do.”
However, there was absolutely no atmosphere in which one could say ‘no’.
Soon, one by one, they made a sound as if the wind had been let out and their expressions relaxed.
“Okay, let’s do it, let’s do it. Play cards.”
***
“Oh! Ms. Jjakhwi! You just hid the card!”
“W-what are you saying!?”
“Ceylon, you’re thinking of turning your attention to Miss Leolian and then switching cards.”
“Eek!”
“Amazing. I only just learned the card rules. I can’t believe you’re already trying to modify them. You must be a Ceylon instructor.”
“This, this dirty person…! So you’re trying to blame me now!?”
“Ah! Miss Leolian! I see a card! A card!”
“Ah! Thank you, Miss Teln.”
“hahahaha~ Thank you too. Thanks to you, I think I know what cards I should aim for.”
“eeek!!!”
“It’s okay, Miss Leolian. I already got it. Now, here.”
“Eh~? It’s Mizu again~?”
An untimely card game that took place in Instructor Ceylon’s office.
They enjoyed their daily routine for the first time in a long time, permitted under the pretext of deciding who would be first.
“Ugh… I’m going to leave for a moment. My head hurts…”
“My head hurts after playing a few cards. Aren’t you too weak?”
“It’s because of you!?!”
“Wow, you’re quite sensitive. I guess you’ve run out of sugar?”
“It’s because of you…”
“hahahaha, as expected, it’s because of the sugar. Look at me. I haven’t even served tea to the guests yet. Since it’s already come to this, I’ll just make a simple sandwich.”
Time passed quickly in the gentle atmosphere.
The sun was about to set outside.
“Ugh!!! Miz! Why are you so good at this!”
Nevertheless, their play was still in full swing.
Hwivien, who was once again surpassed by Miz and lost first place, let out a sigh of frustration.
“Back in the day, I often left cards alone because I didn’t have anyone to play with. I guess I should say that my thinking broadened thanks to that.”
“Ah.”
“Gasp.”
“Hmm.”
“Mi, miz…”
“Miss Whitty SD!!! Another person got hurt…!”
“No, that’s not it-“
At a time when an awkward atmosphere was forming.
Miz, who now finds it natural to take off her mask in front of her friends, said with a grin.
“I never imagined. I never thought the day would come when I could play cards with such wonderful people.”
After Miz slowly scanned the faces of her friends, she finally turned her gaze to Ceylon.
“Fool. It’s all thanks to you.”
“I think it’s because Ms. Miz is a person overflowing with human charm.”
“…That’s an interesting opinion.”
As they looked at each other, they each had different types of soft smiles.
After enjoying the comfortable atmosphere for a moment, Miz opened her mouth again.
“Fool.”
“Yes, Miss Miz.”
“… What happens to the fool when this is over?”
“Yes?”
“The fool… Did you come to the academy for this purpose?”
So, she carefully brought out the anxiety she felt due to Ceylon’s repeated absences.
The anxiety she felt.
That is, it would not be surprising at all if Ceylon left their side and disappeared completely.
The true direct master of Harashin.
The world he lives in is so different from the world they live in.
She spoke slowly as Miz fidgeted with her hands as if she was anxious.
“Once this is over… There will be no more reason to be at the Academy. Right?”
“…”
Ceylon was taken aback by the sudden question and looked at Miz.
“Yes, I guess so.”
How Miz interpreted that, she nodded her head with a bitter smile.
Then, he finally nodded resolutely, as if he had made up his mind.
“Fool… No, my friend Ceylon.”
“Yes, my friend Miss Miz. Please speak.”
“When you first disappeared. I regretted not saying something to you the most. And when you disappeared again, I repeated the same regret.”
“Regret…”
“I don’t want you to suddenly disappear without saying a word again, but I don’t want to regret it again. So, I’ll take this opportunity to tell you.”
Miz looked at Ceylon with her serious eyes.
“Gasp.”
“Oh~”
Kasha looks at this with interest.
‘What do you mean?’
I look like someone who doesn’t have any sense.
And-
‘Wait a minute, this is…!’
Hwivien.
She seemed to know the identity of the unusual air current flowing in the current location.
‘No way, confess…!?’
I could clearly see this because I had encountered similar specimens several times in specialized books (romantic novels).
‘No…!’
Hwivien suddenly felt impatient.
What if Miz really confesses to Ceylon and he accepts it!?
Whether Ceylon accepts Miz’s heart or not is none of her business.
Hwivien convinced himself that way.
Her emotions ran away, pushing away her reason.
The moment Miz’s mouth is about to open.
Hwivien shouted urgently.
“Ceylon! I think I’m worried about you!”
“Ceylon. No matter what happens, you are my dearest friend.”
The words of the two people overlapped.
But, what did they each say?
It was clearly audible to other people’s ears.
“…Wow.”
Kasha generously added her chuimsae.
At the end, there was an awkward silence in the place.
