59 – 7.5 Afterword – Disrespectful junior.
It’s already the end of March.
The end of the Beatus Festival is approaching.
Meanwhile, Jenna, like the main character, was causing trouble wherever she went, and it was my job to sort it all out.
My goal from the beginning was to help Laonzena make the elixir of life as quickly as possible and escape from the damn time limit.
However, this was the first violent incident.
“As a senior, it was my fault for not being able to properly lead my juniors. I apologize on their behalf.”
“Why are you senior..!”
“Use. You stay still.”
“Wow. Prince Howlan lowers his head, and I get to see things that I wouldn’t be able to see even if I paid money. Did you guys take pictures of everything?”
“If I sell this, I’ll get at least 100 more gold, right? I wonder where that guy is going to bow his head.”
“Young master is cute~.”
Xena growled at the group of nobles who were openly mocking them.
“You guys…!”
“Oh, I’m surprised! I really lost my temper once…”
I grabbed Jenna’s shoulder and stopped her.
“Take it in moderation, Jenna.”
“But..!”
“No matter how angry I am, this is the one who was at fault.”
“….Ssi..”
In the end, Jenna took a step back.
“Then we will leave now, Young master. The area where I was hit is throbbing.”
A group of nobles bow their heads appropriately and hand over money, and they laugh and walk away as if they are satisfied with this.
I even took a picture using a magic tool.
If you look closely at them, you will see wounds on their cheeks and shoulders. It’s Jenna’s doing.
“Why did you do that?”
“……”
“Are you not planning on answering?”
“…..That’s it…”
“I’m so upset these days that I can’t cause an accident when I’m full of troubles.”
“…They are swearing at their senior…!”
Jenna, with a pouting look on her face as if dissatisfied, barely managed to open her mouth.
Was that the reason?
In the original work, Raon Jenna had several accidents, but she never committed anything intentional like violence.
At best, she gets criticized for accidentally messing up while helping others.
In Pro Seven, the incidents and accidents she faced as the main character rarely fall outside of this scope.
But why are you so different now? For what reason.
You were a protagonist who never used violence carelessly.
I spoke to her in her cold voice.
“That doesn’t mean violence is justified. Are you going to fight every time you hear me swearing?”
“…Ugh.. That’s not true…”
“Or did you think it was okay to do this since I always take care of it?”
“……It’s not like that…!”
She suddenly screamed.
Shout out that this is a good thing. Who is the one with the pain?
“Everyone just swears at their senior without even knowing what kind of person he is!! The whole academy!! I also endured it and endured it, but they started an argument right next to me. How can I do that..!”
“So, has the situation improved?”
“…Mr..!”
Laonzena walked ahead of me with a dissatisfied face that was still difficult to understand.
Still, her hair is down, as if she feels a little sorry.
We started walking down the road again. In an ambiguous state, about 1 meter away.
Normally, he walks like he’s breathing, but he doesn’t even play around.
It means that it is tightly sprained.
Sometimes I feel a sense of discrepancy as she looks very different from the original.
If you think about it, Jenna in [Project 7] Was more mature than she is now and didn’t easily play pranks on anyone.
No matter how common she was or how many people insulted her, she never easily committed violence. This is because she is the main character who is goodness itself.
As someone who has played [Project 7] For over 23,000 hours, I was confident that I knew her personality perfectly.
Then what on earth changed Jenna like this?
In the game, she is a righteous protagonist who pursues goodness.
She is a heroine who doesn’t get angry easily, almost to the point of being a pushover, and although she is still an immature child, she shows an adult side.
Jenna in real life is a little more extreme. In the game, she does her pranks to her heart’s content, which she doesn’t show easily, and her facial expressions change in a variety of ways, and she’s so emotional that you don’t know where she’ll go at the same time.
She is an ordinary child who is crazy about sweet desserts and loves playing with her friends.
To put it simply, the main character in [Project 7] Is an old child or an adult who does not show her emotions, but the current Jenna is closer to the elementary school student she was at that age.
The fact that she still looks sulky proves that fact.
I’m curious.
What is her ‘real’ self?
If she has changed, what brought about her change?
From the perspective of a terminally ill woman, this change is not pleasant. If we are not careful, there is a possibility that the story will proceed differently from the original history.
But…
Jenna’s appearance like this is not bad either.
Perhaps the current appearance is more natural.
They complain at their age, and fight when there is a disagreement.
Sometimes even mature people, or even adults, can change like this.
“Jenna.”
I called out to Jenna, who was passing by before me.
She glanced at me for a moment, then turned around and started walking again.
An awkward atmosphere continues again.
“Laonzena.”
“……Why?”
“Are you still angry?”
“I’m not angry.”
Jenna smoothes her own red hair.
When she shows her insecurity so clearly, it’s understandable that she’ll want to make fun of you.
“I was angry.”
Jenna turned her head again at the firm tone of voice, as if declaring.
Looking at her expression, she looks a little scared.
Did saying I was angry sound scary?
“Why am I so angry?”
She slowly narrows her eyebrows and glares at the girl who is far below me.
Jenna and I, who are in our mid-150s, were quite tall, so she always had to look up.
Jenna looked embarrassed and swallowed her saliva.
“Huh… Did she swing her fist carelessly…?”
“There is that, but it is not a big reason. Is that all?”
I lower my voice as if gently urging. Jenna’s embarrassed expression is felt even more strongly.
“Gwi, are you being rude to the nobles…?”
“Wrong.”
“Because my senior always has a hard time taking care of things…?”
“Wrong.”
No, the last sentence may be correct.
Jenna chewed her lower lip after getting her answer wrong one after another.
It must be frustrating. This too is frustrating.
I don’t know the simple reason.
“Then what’s the reason…?”
“It doesn’t matter that I get criticized. In reality, I’m not a very good person.”
“…Senior is a good person…”
Is that all you said timidly? I am so grateful to the point of tears, Jenna.
“What makes me the most angry is that you suffered harm over such a trivial matter.”
“Yes…?”
Jenna looks at me with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.
I held onto her hand.
Her hands had scratches and blood flowing.
It must have been a wound caused by a group of nobles.
“Ah. This really isn’t a big deal.”
She shyly averted her head.
He ignores his own wounds so easily and gets so angry at the gossip he receives behind his back.
After all, Jenna is Jenna.
“I get angry when you get hurt like this.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened. Is this an unexpected answer?
Then let’s shake things up even more unexpectedly.
“Senior..?”
There is a moment of silence.
Jenna, unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, spoke to me again.
I slightly avoided Jenna’s face and continued her words.
No matter how I am, I am embarrassed to say such cheesy language.
My whole body feels red.
“…Because it’s precious.”
Static again.
Various and ever-changing expressions.
A cute voice that is not bad to listen to.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes..!?! Did I not hear you correctly..?!!”
“I heard correctly.”
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t come to a conclusion any further than this.
I was angry because it was precious.
It’s precious, so I hope it doesn’t get hurt.
“So I hope you don’t get hurt by those guys.”
“uuu…! Why are you acting sooooo today!”
Jenna responds as she conveys her sincerity without hesitation.
I hope you don’t get hurt, but it looks like your head is already injured.
This is my first time seeing a reaction like this.
What is it? How do you do that?
In the end, it took 5 minutes for Jenna to calm down.
It looks like his head wasn’t just injured, but injured in various ways.
If you react in such an over-the-top way, I’m the one feeling embarrassed.
I blurted out calmly.
“Now do you understand why I was angry?”
“Yes, yes…”
After coming to her senses, she answered with her hands somewhat clasped together.
I don’t know why, but it feels like Jenna’s expression has become a little hazy.
I guess it’s my mood.
“Well, apart from that, I should say something.”
“Is there anything else? Is it my birthday today? Or is it just a lucky day? Huh..?”
Jenna, who was talking so rudely, seems to have missed the stone and is about to fall.
I quickly hugged Jenna’s side.
The waist is thinner than it looks.
How does such power come from such a small body?
She suddenly fell into my arms and did not avoid my eyes.
She just waits for me to speak with her hazy eyes.
Her blood pressure rose sharply due to her sudden low posture, and her face was extremely red.
I poured out my true feelings again as if repaying the look in her eyes.
“Thank you for getting angry for me.”
“…..”
“But you must never do that next time. If you get used to hitting others… Jenna? Raon Jenna?”
Jenna fainted.
How much did her blood pressure rise?

“Senior, can’t you just say it again…? Ah, my eyes once more…”
“I won’t say it twice.”
“Ah… Well, it doesn’t matter because I remember everything! Human memory is great~.”
Jenna nods her head, humming in satisfaction, and raises the corners of her mouth again.
To do something strange again.
“……It’s so cute.”
“Yes. I will never say anything again. Never.”
“Oh, I won’t do it, Senpai! I’m sorry! Don’t get upset!”
It’s still a mystery why I said something so disgusting that it wouldn’t even be in such a public place.
I would have known that if it got into this kid’s ears, it would definitely turn into a joke, but it was my mistake to get caught up in the atmosphere.
As I was heading to the inn, I saw a group of nobles from the forest.
It appears that they are settling the total profit, including the money received from me.
After exchanging glances for a moment, we hid behind a tree.
“This is the money I earned today.”
“As expected, it’s so easy to catch a tiger. Isn’t that guy Dyers a real idiot?”
“I admit it. That person is probably the only idiot who gives money when it’s not his job. hehehe.”
“If she comes from a prestigious family, she’ll have plenty of women, so I don’t know why she’s putting up such a shield.”
Jenna was indignant at the blatant backbiting.
In particular, as soon as the word ‘woman’ was mentioned, they even showed signs of rushing towards me.
“Those bastards again..!”
“That’s it. Have you forgotten what I said earlier?”
“Ugh, really..But..”
“This level of gossip is not a big deal.”
Jenna eventually surrendered to my firm words.
What good is there in fighting?
Even if you get criticized a little, it is beneficial to go peacefully. Well, it is true that Dyers is actually a person to be criticized.
I quickly got ready to go.
However, as the nobles continued to talk, I had no choice but to stop.
“Isn’t that b*tch next to that person annoying?”
“That’s right. At best, she goes around doing things that offend her commoner self.”
“Is this all because you didn’t receive education at home?”
“Actually, it may just not exist.”
“Phew. Hey, that’s a bit pitiful.”
Jenna’s expression darkens as they continue to speak one by one.
She told me not to step forward in her position.
I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Sometimes violence is justified.”
There are only two cases where I allow violence.
1. When I heard the pad lip.
2. When people around me heard pad lip.
I immediately put on a cigarette and lit it.
The spirits gather.
“What, don’t touch it.”
“Huh? It’s not me?”
“Huh..?”
“aaahhh, what the f*ck is this? It’s jumping!!”
It was already a little full.
When a shapeless ghost touches them, they instantly become a mess.
Soon, they were stamping and stamping on each other and causing an uproar.
“Ah!! Kisha, you crazy b*tch, where are you stepping!”
“You are like that!!”
“Everyone, just shut up!!”
“I’m really so scared…!!”
I put ghosts on them.
It will be a bit painful for the next 24 hours.
“Hmph.”
“Hee.”
“..?”
“hehehe.”
“…Why are you laughing?”
“hehehe.”
“Don’t laugh.”
“Look. Your senior is just like me.”
I don’t know what’s so good about it that I’m laughing so hard.
What is so good about hearing such harsh words just now?
Jenna didn’t stop raising the corners of her mouth with a truly happy face.
“Ahihihahahahaha. Senior.”
“What?”
The red-haired kid opens his arms wide and falls towards me.
I suddenly caught it again and it became like a cicada stuck on an old tree.
Before I knew it, Jenna’s arms were wrapped around my waist.
“Thank you. For being angry for me.”
Raon Jenna said this and showed her proud smile.
A smile that was only meant to be expected.
A unique smile that is somehow 2% short of desirable.
I still couldn’t help but be an unpleasant junior.
