3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (29)
Lately I have been frequenting the temple.
In the past, there were many times when I was injured, so it was natural. But these days, I’ve never had the injuries I deserve.
Thanks to his improved skills over the past two months, the number of injuries has decreased a lot.
First of all, there weren’t many talented people who could threaten me in the academy right now.
It was a story that the professors and the top or bottom of each grade did not know. But other than that, it was hard to find a talented person who could overwhelm me in real combat, even in the academy, which was said to have gathered talented people from all over the continent.
As much as that, the actual experience was terrifying.
Even so, the frequency of my visits to the temple was not much different from before. Still meant to come by about once every two days.
The cause was simple.
It was because the saintess kept calling me.
Occasionally, he gave important information, but when he visited, there were many times when he shared trivial small talk. It couldn’t have been a worthwhile ending to have to go to the temple.
It didn’t matter where he went as long as he was willing to chat. There was no reason for me to go through the trouble of visiting the temple on purpose.
So one day, I openly asked the saintess.
Asked if it would be better to make an appointment at a coffee shop or somewhere else, the saintess always responded the same way.
“… … Well, then you won’t come.”
It was an answer that he gave in a low voice, as if he was sad, with a slight blush on his face.
Hearing that, I thought deeply.
Come to think of it, there was a time when a saintess secretly appeared everywhere I went.
I ignored it a few times because I was busy with work, but it seemed that the sad feelings at that time turned into vengeance as time passed.
If it was a teahouse, you wouldn’t know it, but if it was a temple, it was a secret space where the saintess’ private room existed.
Of course, not only trivial stories but also important information came and went. It was the reason why he couldn’t blindly ignore the saintess’ request.
Of course, when I complained about this reasoning to Yuren, he just looked at me with a very pitiful look.
It was unfortunate.
Apparently, Yuren’s trust in the saintess was so deep that he thought that she couldn’t imagine that she would take such a petty revenge.
However, it took too much effort to explain the deep and wide misunderstanding about it. So I decided to let Yuren believe whatever he wanted to believe.
Even if the truth is covered in mud anyway, it will come out someday.
It was a temple that made me think that I had gone in vain after visiting it twice, but it was worthwhile to visit the saintess on purpose today.
The story that flowed out of her mouth seemed to be quite important information.
“Lady Lupesia requested the convening of the disciplinary committee. Since the princess impulsive, follow-up measures will of course follow.”
Hmm, as soon as I heard that, I crossed my arms and drooled.
It was the treatment room of the temple.
Originally, the saintess who was supposed to treat patients here used to call me here whenever she had free time recently.
He might have thought of me as a peanut for boredom.
Of course, it wasn’t a bad experience for me either.
Even now, the saintess was supporting her breasts with one arm. Thanks to that, the chest curve, which was already full of presence, was emphasized even more.
It seemed that her shoulders were stiff, but it seemed that even her body, trained by Seongguk’s secret jujutsu, could not overcome that weight.
As an eye candy, it was great. Even the saintess had a calm face, as if even this was just a piece of her daily life.
The saintess, who was twisting and twisting the side of her hair with her free hand, looked a bit sullen. In those bored eyes, even a slight defect was felt.
It was a look that did not fit as a symbol of benevolence and sincerity.
However, I only shook my head a few times when I saw such a saint. After all, she and I were devouring each other to the bottom.
Rather than pretending, this was better for me too.
After being silent for a while, I opened my mouth slowly.
“… … It’s a big deal.”
“It’s a big deal, expulsion is half-determined.”
The saintess let out a deep sigh as she said that. The hand that was twisting the hair fell off.
“What are you really thinking? No matter how hard it was, there was no point in losing a limb from a slap.”
“Limb, but I still have one leg left… … ”
“… … anyway!”
Ignoring my voice of complaint, the saintess slammed the table in front of me.
Every time her palms touched, the tea splashed evenly. Even so, not a single drop escaped the outside of the teacup, so it was a skill worthy of a miracle.
Indeed, it was a skill worthy of a master of the secret jujutsu of Seongguk.
However, despite my admiration, the saintess’ bruises continued.
“Are you going to drive an ax into the shoulder of the princess? Then, you know that even the owner of the Dragon Blood letter can get in trouble, right?!”
The voice of the saintess rebuking me was mixed with subtle concerns, so I suffocated and burst into laughter.
Anyway, I had no intention of going that far.
Splashing water on them was a serious crime, but making blood from the body of the imperial family was a different dimension. It was because it was an issue that could lead to the ‘murder of the imperial family’.
Of course, it was the royal family who were dying without even knowing mice or birds in the struggle for imperial authority. However, no matter how blind they were to power, they did not openly murder the royal family.
The imperial family are beings that inherited the emperor’s blood, and therefore, their lives were directly related to the authority of the imperial family.
People don’t die by pouring water on them. But when it started to bleed, it was a different story.
Shedding blood also meant that the other person could die depending on their mind. No matter how lenient the imperial family was towards the academy, there was no way they would tolerate that.
It was also one of the reasons why he didn’t take a picture of the shoulder despite the princess’s continued provocation not too long ago.
Of course, the biggest reason can be summarized as ‘because I don’t like it’.
The image of the princess trying to instill fear in me by making irrational numbers was more sorrowful than irritating. It was as if he hoped that each word would scare him in some way.
To me, it just looked like an immature child whining.
I don’t know if the princess would put that plan into action, but it was a problem that would be resolved within a week anyway.
There was no reason to get involved in her provocation.
As I was retracing my thoughts, my eyes glanced at the saintess. Her pale pink eyes flashed with worry that could not be erased.
A bitter smile appeared on my lips.
Even so, it seemed that he had a lot of hate. We only met eyes once, and it warmed my heart.
“It won’t happen, so don’t worry. And about the disciplinary committee, I honestly don’t know… Anyway, think about it in a week. Please tell Lady Lupesia that you are sorry.”
“I think he would be more scared if he apologized… … .”
The saintess tilted her head at my words and muttered something incomprehensible.
Then, she soon became an oops face. It seemed like something had come to mind.
Soon, the saintess’ suspicious eyes turned to me.
“… … Come to think of it, are you still beating kids these days? These days, students come with a bone or two broken, but they don’t open their mouths about the young assailants.”
I shook my head at those words.
My principle was that I only liked those who dared to attack. And lately, no one has attacked me.
In fact, rumors spread like that, and it would have been surprising if it touched me again.
No one knows whether the cost of that courage will be amputation or life.
It was an explanation that even the saintess, who at first looked at her in disbelief, could not help but understand. She shook her head as if it were so.
“Haha, if you touch it again after hearing that rumor, that’s what you need treatment for. Mainly for psychological reasons.”
No matter how exaggerated the evaluation may be, my eyes widened at the thought of that. Regardless, the saintess just smiled as if she was relieved.
Her shoulders stretched out to reflect the excitement. Her breasts showed a more attractive figure, but the saintess still didn’t seem to care.
In the end, I was the one who was embarrassed first.
I groaned and cleared my throat, slightly averting my gaze. The saintess looked at me with a puzzled expression, and then seemed to notice the direction my gaze was heading.
Hmm, the saintess’ eyes narrowed.
The saintess slightly raised her body, pressed her upper body onto the table, and whispered in my ear.
“… … Do you want to touch me?”
“yes.”
Naturally, my answer was immediate.
Kkkk
