Now that the war has stopped, albeit temporarily.
Tia was looking for the students and professors of ＜Skientia＞ who came out to help in the war one by one.
Since most of them are in the hospital, shouldn’t she step in and give her some comfort money?
Of course, she was also a patient, and her condition was the most serious.
But she is the head of an organization.
He’s not in a coma, and he’s not even immobilized, but you can’t gain his trust without giving him a word of congratulations. That is the responsibility that those who stand on top should have.
“Ira, I heard you saved a lot of people. That’s great.”
“Ah, Tiamat-nim. My, I’m great. What an embarrassing word… … .”
“Where the hell did you learn to talk like that?”
Tia looked straight at Aira who was about to bow.
As far as she knew, Ira would have finished graduate school right after graduation and got a job at ＜Skientia＞.
It wouldn’t be like that unless someone had a bad influence by his side.
“Is it Oz?”
And if I had to pick the person who had the most negative influence on her, it would be Oz. Tia let out an obvious question and frowned.
“Oh no!”
“then?”
Aira hesitated at Tia’s question before answering.
“In the book… … . It’s not a strange book. Commonwealth Romance… … It’s a historical novel, but… … .”
“Oh yeah.”
Tia decided that it would be better not to ask more about Aira’s gibberish, and decided to bury the conversation in her heart.
“Oh hmm! Anyway, this. bonuses.”
“Oh no! I went by my own will, so I can’t take this money!”
“I think you set an example as a professor for your students. so take it If you don’t receive it, you won’t be able to give it to someone else in the future when the same thing happens.”
“… … Yeah.”
Tia took out a money bag from her bosom and handed it to Aira.
Aira stared at the money bag and then nodded.
“Right.”
Tia smiled lightly and moved on to the next location.
The next place is ＜Skientia＞ The number one problem child… … Professor In.
“I heard you did a great job.”
“of course. Sure.”
“You need to learn some humility.”
[SSR Golden Champion]
Justitia Heros
She cheered herself up by chewing on an apple that Tia had brought as a present for her hospital visit.
“I wanted to take a vacation all of a sudden, but this time it appeared on the battlefield. What the hell are you trying to do?”
“No, you want to hear me? Because I delayed the timing of the war itself through that vacation? Awesome isn’t it? Isn’t that great? Then how about rewarding me for working so hard?”
“… … .”
The opposite type of Aira.
One has too low self-esteem and the other has too high self-esteem.
Tia originally intended to reward Justitia for her performance.
I was thinking of giving her a bonus as well as her salary during the vacation, just like Aira.
But when I saw it like that, my heart was shaken.
“Head of the school. Actually. I have something I want.”
“What?”
“It’s a wedding ring.”
“… … Yes, I will give you money, so buy it.”
don’t ask I will never ask. Curiosity kills the cat.
Tia, like Aira, decided to refrain from talking. However, the opponent was a being full of self-esteem to the extent that Ira was on a different level.
“Whoa, whoa, aren’t you curious about who the opponent is?”
“Not very… … .”
“It’s Oz! Of course, I haven’t received a proposal yet, but that’s only a matter of time.”
“… … What kind of stream of consciousness was there to make him propose to you?”
Tia asked in a harsh manner.
It was more absurd than jealousy.
Of course, Oz possessed this woman and that woman. Still, Oz had a clear goal.
That’s why I’m in a situation like now where there’s nothing strange about being stabbed.
But marrying someone?
Are you saying it’s that simple?
There can be no Unless Oz is crazy, there’s no way he’ll choose someone.
Tia was able to make a relatively calm judgment. Of course, for reasons unknown to the inside, there was a fever.
“I want to do it.”
“Okay, stop talking nonsense, get this and go to sleep for a while.”
Tia split the bonus to be given to Justitia in half.
I didn’t want to give it all because I was offended by something.
After delivering the bonus to Justitia as well.
Tia, who was about to turn back, stopped as if she had just remembered.
“I’m saying this just in case, but don’t force Oz?”
“… … .”
Tia’s tone was extremely calm, but her eyes were different.
The vertically dilated pupils chilled Justitia’s spine.
“… … I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Right.”
Tia roughly tousled the back of her hair and headed for the next location.
It was a little different from the original plan.
‘I should have given the kid a compliment… … .’
It was her long-standing habit of not being able to make normal judgments when her head was hot.
“Tsk.”
I’ll have to visit Justitia again later. Though Tia thought so, she moved once.
Most of the teachers went to see them. All that remains are the students.
“Let’s see… … .”
Most of the professors are excellent at their own strength, but the students are not. Most of them are underdogs.
Their courage can be said to be more valuable than anything else.
I was looking for several students.
Among them, there were still those who did not return to consciousness, and there were those who resolutely refused the visit itself.
It seems that the psychological blow was especially severe because they were students.
The last student who came like that.
“therefore… … Did you say white sheep? It’s amazing that even though you’re from the Commonwealth, you’re fighting for everyone like this.”
“No, say nothing.”
Even to Tia, it was Baekyang who could be said to be a familiar person.
To be honest, it could have been the most unexpected. Aren’t they not only people from the Commonwealth who have nothing to do with the Empire, but also goblins who like to harass people?
I didn’t know that she would take the initiative and go to help everyone.
Tia decided to reflect on the thought that she had not been able to see through the essence of the student even though she had met several times.
“Are you not sick anywhere?”
“Of course it hurts everywhere. It’s fine though. Rather, is the headmaster okay?”
“Well. I want to be like you guys.”
“I hope you take good care of yourself.”
“yes… … .”
Tia reflected again.
So far, none of the people she visited cared about her. But Baekyang was different.
Did you say it was dark? Now I see that was wrong.
Being a friend of a problem child doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a problem child.
“I saw it. The head of the academy was stabbed and fell from the sky. But I’m glad you’re better than you look.”
“yes? ah… … right. A lot of things happened after that.”
“… … Actually I know.”
Baekyang’s relaxed tone changed.
From now on, I am saying that I will speak the truth, not ostentation.
“The fruit of the World Tree. Right?”
“uh?! Uh, how did you know… … .”
“It’s something Oz-sama has been looking for since he went to the Federation.”
“Yeah, that’s right. The Oz guy has already… … .”
he’s a weird guy Tia rubbed her cheeks to try to hide the curling corners of her lips.
“Have you eaten? Or did Oz-sama feed you?”
“yes? At that time, I was in a difficult condition to control my body, so they must have fed it.”
“Hmm… … .”
Baekyang looked at Tia with a mischievous look. It seems like he’s trying to hide it, but he couldn’t hide his blushing face.
‘And above all, this heat.’
Wasn’t it proof that her emotions had intensified? Baekyang did not back down and continued to ask questions despite the heat soaring to the point where her physical condition deteriorated.
“I ate that fruit too. My body just had a fever.”
If the moment she ate the fruit of the world tree was taken as an example, wouldn’t Tia have a reaction?
“really? I did too! It must have been a side effect of the fruit.”
Sure enough, Tia fell right into Baiyang’s trap.
Seeing Tia’s reaction, Baekyang half-jokingly half-seriously told what had happened.
“Because Mr. Oz handed the fruit from mouth to mouth for me, who couldn’t move. Wouldn’t that make your whole body feel hot?”
“… … .”
Baek Yang twisted her body and said, and Tia stiffened at those words.
However, Baekyang couldn’t jump to conclusions just by looking at Tia’s expression.
‘That, what kind of expression… … ?’
Had she kissed him as well? is not it.
I was curious about that, but Tia’s expression didn’t seem either way.
Baek Yang, who had been observing Tia’s sweaty expression for a while, asked indirectly just in case.
“… … Maybe you don’t remember what happened then?”
“… … .”
However, Tia was in such a state of confusion that she couldn’t even respond to Baekyang’s words.
‘uh? uh huh uh uh uh uh… … ?’
I don’t know.
I could hear most of what Oz said, but it is also true that he was confused.
A situation where you don’t even know if you ate the fruit with your mouth or your nose.
It was a situation where it was not known how it was fed.
“Th-But since it was in the form of an elixir, wouldn’t it be the mouth… … ?”
Tia couldn’t be sure even as she recalled such an objective life situation.
A strange picture kept coming up in my head, which interrupted it.
“… … I will go now.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m going back!”
As if running away, Tia ran out of Baekyang’s hospital room and ran to her own room.
A haze from the heat bloomed along the seat she had passed.
* * *
The fourth day since the war stopped.
I was passing the time not being able to do this or that.
To be precise, it is a break.
In the current situation, there is nothing you can do. At most, is it about repairing the ruined streets?
Even that was rejected.
“I do really well when I do it. I can really do one hundred.”
“Oz, since this is a request, will you please not forget your identity? If you do such a burdensome act, let alone a hundred per day, 300 to 400 people will stop what they are doing and come see you?”
“I have nothing to worry about.”
“How can you not care… … .”
That’s why I’m in Lucia’s hospital visit.
Because this guy was within the Empire, he was able to escape [Unknown]’s attack, but the moment he saw the monster’s true form, he was blinded.
Like student council president Latia, she is temporarily blind.
And it’s not just Lucia’s story.
Most of ＜Tenebris＞ who were performing missions within the Empire were in a similar situation.
It seems that there are many people with good eyes because they basically do sniping and assassination.
If you’re okay with it
“Compared to my brother, I am still far away.”
“That guy is weird, and you’re doing well enough.”
Discre Punisher.
There is only a talented guy without a bottom and no end. Why are you fine?
Do you have bad eyesight by yourself?
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a discre handle firearms.
“Is it okay if I stay here like this? Oz.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“greatly.”
“Stay patient. You are the only one I can visit in the hospital with peace of mind. The rest mistook me for a hospitality gift.”
“I don’t think that’s too far-fetched for them. Isn’t that rather a good thing? It sounds like they welcome you so much.”
“Correction. They start to treat me as if they belong to me.”
“that’s… … . I understand.”
I thought Lucia would understand. Because she is also one of the victims like me.
There are too many problem children in the world.
Thanks to this, good citizens like me and Lucia suffer.
It can’t be a very sad thing.
“Still, I want you to go to Eleanor.”
“I’ve already been there. I can feel the presence, but they won’t open the door.”
“You should have broken down the door as usual and entered!”
“What kind of savage am I, the usual me you see? Are you going to get arrested for doing that?”
Lucia pouted her lips as if she did not agree, even though she had grown up and tried to tell me.
“As expected, I should have shot that damn bastard the moment I saw it.”
It’s about Lexis.
She tried to bury the very existence of Lesis so as not to hurt Eleanor.
But she knows too.
Eventually, Eleanor will think about Lesys.
If that happens, there is a high probability that Eleanor will try to find Lesis.
While I was looking for Lesis. What if he found out he was already a corpse?
“… … It’s already past. So don’t worry about it.”
“Is there something wrong with you?”
“I know. I guess I should have cut off my limbs beforehand.”
Like Lucia, I had no intention of killing Lesis.
Lucia seems to be thinking of taking care of the dirty work instead, but I think it’s right for Eleanor to deal with him.
People cannot live by doing only clean work. And, isn’t a jewel a jewel because it shines even in the mud?
Anyway, this guy is more meddling than me.
“Let’s get some rest and think about things later. And Lucia, know this. You’re not the only one who wants to kill Lesis. Do you have a cause worthy of calling it revenge?”
“… … doesn’t exist.”
“But there are people with such a cause. So, if you don’t want to leave it to Eleanor, leave it to her.”
Yeah, maybe no one hates Lesis as much as she does.
“Who is that?”
“Hero Justitia.”
* * *
Lucia’s hospital visit should be this much. There are a lot of people I know, so there are a lot of places to go around.
Now the greetings are over.
My body is healthy, so I think it’s time to start the next job.
Antares was alive.
Such news came from the imperial palace on a large scale.
It may be false information to avoid confusion, but honestly, it is hard to believe that the old man is dead.
“I think it will be in the next three days or so.”
Looking at Antares’ work now, I wonder if the chaos in the empire will be settled to some extent.
Although he is said to be a specimen of human garbage, he has many corners to learn from.
Because the period of being a monarch is different.
When that time comes, we will have to set a separate meeting date.
Of course, the bad-tempered nobleman could ignore it. If so, you just need to make it impossible to ignore.
Don’t I have a back stomach?
Even so, Tia would have no choice but to meet with Antares regarding this matter. If I went with him then, I wouldn’t be able to ignore him, no matter how bad-tempered he was.
The moment she arrived at Tia’s hospital room and knocked.
“Academy head. May I come in?”
“Yes?! why?! Why are you coming in?! Wait a minute. Wait a minute!”
From somewhere, a voice sounded astonishingly perplexed.
i think he should start to seriouly think about his love life.
I hope bro dosen’t get toasted cuz of his dense nature
