169 – School Evaluation (6)☆
Wednesday was herbalism lecture, so nothing special happened. The professor lectured in the same way as usual, and even gave hints on where to take the exam. She to us muttering, it’s important. She said that many times. Less than half of the cadets took notes.
“Two of you, we have something to talk about.”
It happened while I was having lunch with Heden and Oila. Heden called Kite and I separately, saying that each of them had a story to tell. Let’s get to the eerie wall with ivy growing all over the place.
“Sorry, I meant to say that earlier.”
I couldn’t even guess what you meant. If it was about Tyria, Oila would have given up right away. If Heden likes kite, isn’t it to the extent that she occasionally sends me trivial seals? Hence this subtle attitude.
─Does he like me?
It may sound like a fuss, but there were girls in Nuzhhaven who showed interest only because Kite liked me. Maybe more here Because there are officially recognized beauties like Rita around me right now.
“Oila, you better not talk.”
“Huh?”
“It makes each other uncomfortable. I think I’ll be comfortable as it is now.”
If it’s a woman problem, my head hurts right now. I don’t even know Oila’s family, she’s not my style, and I have no intention of dating her. I hope we meet every Wednesday and have a meal like this so it won’t be awkward.
“Well, isn’t it?”
Oila smiled and put on her original bright expression. I know it’s a pretense Because of that, she laughed the same way.
“Let’s go. It might be cooked before Heden and Kite come.”
“Deman, you are very delicate unlike how you really look. So i think it’s good Is it because he is a year older than us?”
–Don’t tell me.
We returned so that we wouldn’t hurt each other, and soon Heden and Kite walked together. I thought I had rejected it well, so I didn’t say anything, so the dish came out right away. Heden silently wants Oila to cut something to eat.
“What are you doing?”
I wondered if he was trying to make Kite jealous.
“Why are you fighting?”
Heden looks at me with her defiant eyes, so why does she need to create an uncomfortable atmosphere?
“What are you talking about?”
“Ah, that’s Heden. I didn’t tell you.”
“What, are we dating?”
Ding——A bell rang in my head. Kite looked at me, her ears red.
“Demana…… Shame on me too.”
“Hey, did you really like Oila?”
Kkeu ──I must have made a big mistake when I was receiving attention from people around me these days. Seeing her nostrils flare and her breath running, I am no different from Rita. Yup, while I was talking nonsense like that, Kite handed me some bread.
“They said they were dating…… Heden said that it would be uncomfortable if you didn’t tell us.”
“Ah, did you?”
My neck creaks and my words break off. The two of them giggled when they saw my bewildered expression. Kite’s cheeks flushed and he swallowed only the water. Heden, who had been hurt before, started teasing me.
“I didn’t know you had feelings for Oila, did you?”
“No, not like that!”
“It’s okay. Well, I should be a bit attractive. If Deman had known he liked me, he would have weighed it!”
Everybody laughs except for me. For a moment, Samuchi felt his throat tickle.
─What if I reveal your secrets?
Heden, you followed him around like kite, and you sent a letter of obsession to Trey-senpai. If I say this, you two will doubt each other and feel uncomfortable, but can you handle it?
Such words came up in my head, but there was no reason to pepper the lovers who were just starting out.
“Congratulations.”
“Yeah, congratulations too!”
The two said thank you and smiled shyly, damn it…… It’s creepy because it’s the same laugh at the same timing.
“How did you meet?”
When asked out of pure curiosity, the first answer is that Heden is a man.
“During relationship counseling with Oila, we met often because our conversation codes matched and it was fun.”
“Yes, I am a viscount, just like Heden and my family, so there was no pressure, and I was a little lonely too.”
They both agreed that they were lonely. It is so lonely to hang out with strangers all year round in a place where there are no relatives. So I wanted to meet someone, so I pretended to agree even though I didn’t agree.
“I envy you.”
These are the words that Kite uttered as they drifted apart from being friends to a pair of worms.
“I envy you.”
“I’m lonely too.”
“I have to overcome such a weak heart.”
“I am confident that if I am in a relationship, I will be very good at it.”
I was curious about this.
“What, how are you going to treat me well?”
“He gave me a lap pillow, sang a lullaby, and packed me a lunch…… I don’t know, it made me sad when I said it.”
“If that’s the case, they are still doing it.”
“It’s different from what you do to your boyfriend…… What if I’m lonely and want to do that to another guy?”
Kite looks straight up at me, and she puffs air into both cheeks. It’s a prank as I poked her with my finger and it only displaced her air. I stab her on both sides and I shake her head and bang her head on my chest.
“I can do well…… !”
“Instead, they always carry you on your back.”
“I don’t know…… I don’t remember any of that because I’m an idiot.”
It was a line between joke and seriousness. Kite raised her head and said, “I want to be alone today.” She pouted. She is angry, saying she doesn’t like it that she will escort her to the dormitory. Ignore her and follow her, so she turns before entering her quarters.
“Demana!”
“Why?”
“Doesn’t it bother me to do this?”
─It’s very annoying.
“A little bit.”
“By the way, why are you taking me away?”
He doesn’t know if he should be angry or thankful, so he has a confused expression. Kite is a little slow to recognize his feelings. So there were times when I had to point out. She resembles her immature sister, Selvia, at times like this.
“No matter what you are, my attitude should be the same.”
“So…… Why?”
It’s because you like me. I talk to myself so that I can hear it, but as the days go by, the modifications are more blatant.
“What do you believe when your behavior changes depending on the situation or mood?”
“Isn’t that what I am?”
“I am always the same. That way, even you who are immature and struggling with the moon can rely on me.”
From noble mtl dot com
Where is a woman who will cry to her heart’s content in front of a man who will wipe away her tears on some days and tell her not to cry on other days?
“Your brother is a really bad person.”
“Isn’t that a bit unfair?”
“It’s like a very mean demon to me.”
“I’ve never bullied you, they take you to the dormitory and carry them on your back?”
“If you’ve been doing so well and then suddenly say you can’t do it, I’ll just cry!”
I sat down on the ground and said that she was going to groan in pain from being hit in the butt, so I slapped her forehead.
“There have been many people who have sent seals saying that I am better than Heden.”
“I guess so.”
“Why don’t you ask…… Give me some attention Can’t you just stick to it?”
“Is there a need for that?”
He whines that he is not a devil but a demon king, considering that it is considerate to let go of him even though he knows it. She couldn’t carry her on her back here, so the next time she was going to pout, she said to pout in the woods or in a deserted place. She said the kite whimpered, whimpered, and then asked to be taken back to her dorm.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Slowly instead…… I want to take a long walk.”
I sent Kite up, and when I entered the dormitory, Tyria was gone. However, there is a note like this attached to her door.
「Combat Professor – Carlson D. Erich Requested an interview.」
He said he didn’t read my seal, so it looks like he opened it again. When I opened the red envelope, it was indeed sent to me by Carlson. It was a very clean and neat handwriting.
「Support cadet Deman Von Pong – stop by my lab anytime in the afternoon.」
Can I face him separately? Eventually, when he stopped by the garden, he asked Ain if he had been asked to meet Carlson. It’s a golden age. If there was nothing to do, I immediately refused to do something with an axe.
“f*ck you, are you even ignoring me?”
The crazy b*tch went crazy and even punched. Seeing that I keep getting pushed behind these days, I wonder if I’m more talented than the princess, as Dick said. At least in terms of martial arts, it feels that way.
“I heard you called.”
When you arrive at the combat research building and reveal the purpose, the assistant opens the door for you. When I slammed the door and entered, Carlson was sitting in an arrogant posture. There are two teaching assistants for one professor topic.
“Sit down?”
“Yes.”
He is practically my enemy. He’s pretending to be senior Dick as well, and he’s the one who’s trying to kick us out of basic swordsmanship. However, since he was an enemy, he had to know his intentions. I wanted to hear what reason they called me.
“This is a car that the common people are not used to, and I don’t know if it will be okay.”
Me too, meeting Dick senior, I managed to distinguish the taste of tea. As he said, it felt like a good car. After taking a few sips, I asked what the reason for calling him was.
“Teachers are a bit out of the way.”
I hate to admit it, but Carlson has a unique charisma. I heard that he is the second son of the Erich family, but he must have some authority in his own way. He was as good in his skills as he was in his arrogant disposition, and he was a man to be reckoned with.
“I heard that you often meet Dick Gallery.”
“Yes.”
“Do you know what the current student president is trying to do?”
“No.”
I know, but I answered that I don’t know. He didn’t know his purpose, so I didn’t want to expose my inner feelings.
“The teacher evaluation system sounds plausible.”
Especially for commoners, he adds. Strangely, he didn’t like his sense of authority, so he showed his expression. As a semi-aristocrat, the distinction between nobles and commoners seemed futile. In a world where money is already becoming the most important thing, how long will you wield power through rank?
“So what?”
“The problem is that everyone becomes unhappy. Dick seems to believe he is a reformer, but does the cadet believe in the Dick Gallery?”
─No.
“I’m not very close.”
“You know, even if you experience it a little. Dick Gallery wants to have a great career before he graduates. Strictly speaking, he has no interest in the development of this place. Do the cadets see him differently?”
“Don’t keep thinking about me.”
“If the teacher evaluation system is applied, how good professors will come here at Heoden. Even now, people from Velaste are invited as professors with enormous financial resources, but think about how they are evaluated by the cadets, and even by the students of Heoden. Will anyone accept it? No, rather, all the professors who were there will leave.”
I hate myself for shaking my heart, so I bit my molars.
“Dick Gallery only intends to increase the value of its own name with absurd acts. Wouldn’t it be foolish for him to choose an ally when he doesn’t know what the situation is?”
I want to deny it, but I can’t and his head hurts.
