255. each one’s time
May, Eris, and Eve pass through the main entrance to the Academy. The three of them, who had been in quite a heated discussion, first decided to form an alliance out of necessity.
Mei asks, fixing the bag.
“In the end, the problem is finding Rin.”
“Yes. Finding Ms. Lynn is the start.”
The first goal is to find Rin.
In order to resurrect Daniel, he needed to meet the Goddess of Death, and the closest human being to the goddess was Rin.
“It wouldn’t be a very good memory, I’m sorry.”
Apparently, the memory of the Goddess of Death was inconvenient for Rin, so she had to suffer.
The reason why Rin is now wanted on the run without being able to lead a proper life is because of the goddess of death.
Since it was Rin who ran away in an instant, Eve and May were unable to provide proper help, and that regret remained in the corner of their hearts.
“By the way, is there any way to find Rin?”
To Eve’s question, Eris answered simply by arranging her windblown hair.
“No. In the case of Mei, I knew that she was in Elgrid City because she did not hide her mana, but in the case of Rin, she was really hiding.”
It was Eris who had already moved alone to find Rin, so it was a confident answer.
“Even though I came out excitedly, there is no answer.”
“Iknow, right.”
May and Eve agonize with frustrated expressions on their faces. Eris, who had something in mind beforehand, tried to speak with a smile, but the faculty rushed from behind.
“Ha, dean’s agent! Where are you going!”
“Oh, I heard you.”
May scratched the back of her head as if it was no big deal, but the professors were in such a hideous atmosphere that it wouldn’t be strange to spit out profanities right away.
“What the hell is this letter about!”
The half-headed professor of magic in front of me held out Mei’s letter. There was only a simple word written there, ‘I’m leaving.’
“Are you retiring? Are you kidding me now? He’s the dean’s representative! Do you think it is possible to quit like this?”
The gazes of Eve and Eris turned to Mei at the same time. Meanwhile, Eris smiled softly and whispered in Mei’s ear.
“If you can’t come, you can just stay. I’ll bring Sherpa to play later.”
“Are you going back to Yggdrasil? Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon.”
Mei patted Eris’s hand on her shoulder and stepped forward. When I try to start a conversation with them, my eyes, which had just been full of passion and guns, suddenly become languid.
‘That’s the eyes of a member of society.’
Looking at May’s tired eyes, Eve began to write something down in her notebook, vowing to refer to it later when writing her work.
“I have no idea what the problem is. Do the professors need to make such a fuss over my resignation?”
“Are you kidding me?! Starting with the overdue work, how about the meeting tomorrow? Isn’t there a meeting with the Palace Academy about the competition?”
“It is up to them to figure it out. Don’t you have those skills?”
“Dean’s representative! Are you kidding me now!”
When his face turns red, the professor spits out a lot of saliva. Nevertheless, Mei responded with a unique sense of leisure.
“I finished my work right away. Please put off the next task until the dean, who has been discharged, arrives.”
“You are so irresponsible! And have you finished your work? It’s piled up on your desk…!”
“It’s not my job, is it?”
In a voice filled with cold wrath, May scolded the faculty.
“Did you forget that I used to work as the dean’s secretary? When I became the dean’s representative, the dean’s usual work came in. Yes, you must have been tough. At best, I lost my position as interim dean to a blue young bastard who just graduated a year ago.”
The professor, who had been furious thinking that he was in the position of A, shuts his mouth tightly. In fact, Mei took care of things that she didn’t have to deal with originally.
It was because he didn’t want to make a fuss while he was the dean’s deputy.
Mei had grown up.
“A meeting with the palace? Palace also knows that the dean doesn’t come in person. The venue is fixed at the Bairn Stadium, so is there any reason for me to go just by scheduling a simple schedule?”
“……”
“The academy will run just fine without the dean for a while. Because that’s what I’ve been doing all this time. and.”
I clenched my fists and knocked.
Mei, who knocked on the professor’s chest, cooled down coldly, but that’s why she warned with sharp eyes.
“Dismissal of the secretary is at the discretion of the dean. I’ve already been fired by the dean. So, don’t make fun of me in front of me, I could be looking for you.”
“……Uh, uh.”
The professor, who had left his mouth open dumbfoundedly, was so startled that he hiccupped. Seeing this, Mei felt a slight exhilaration and smiled slightly.
“I am going to get married. I won’t send you a wedding invitation, so let’s not meet again.”
Raising her middle finger, Mei neatly turned around and approached Eve and Eris. Eve looked at Mei and the notebook alternately as she wrote something down, and Eris crossed her arms in displeasure.
“Can’t May get married?”
“Girl, don’t cry if Daniel hugs me as soon as he sees it.”
“If I call you Sherpa, will you hold me in my arms right away? And I don’t think Mei would feel very comfortable even if I hugged her because it’s hard.”
“…you bitch.”
There was no excuse for the visible difference.

“Okay, we have to change to a magic boiler too.”
Sen McLain, carrying a load of firewood on his forge, sighs at the heaviness of the weight on his shoulders.
This is Palem Village.
It is said that the village was built on the plains of Palem where there were many beasts, and the beginnings of it were hunters.
So there are a lot of animals around the village, but the villagers know how to hunt animals accordingly.
It used to be the hometown of Daniel, Lin, and Ares, but now there is no one left.
Sen puts the firewood on his back in the warehouse outside the house, and then goes inside. Perhaps the last remaining firewood had been burned, and the house was filled with warmth and the smell of baking was impressive.
Sen’s heart, which had been grumbling up until now, is softened. The smell of savory bread was one of Sen’s favorite things.
“great job. I made apple pie, but when I come back after washing, I will cut it and give it to you.”
“Wow! Apple Pie!”
Adriana, who used to be called the Witch of the Black Forest. Currently, she had an apron where her robe should be, and oven mitts on the hand that was supposed to hold the staff.
Recently, Adrina was obsessed with baking bread, but her skills in making magic potions didn’t go anywhere, so she was able to master them quickly.
“Give me one first.”
As Sen moved quickly to wash herself, the Archwitch, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, opened her mouth.
A village of witches completely destroyed by the priestess of time.
In reality, there were only Adrina and the archwitch left, but the archwitch retired and only Adrina remained.
Adrina had no intention of rebuilding the deformed village. Because of the wisdom of the witch, she fled to the forest to avoid the eyes of the gods, but now the gods have no power to intervene.
Witches were able to come out of the forest after many years and gain freedom.
But where would you go?
Daniel MacLaine is dead, and Dyna MacLaine works at Dragon’s Border. In a situation where Sen had to protect the house alone, with Dina’s willing permission, Adrina and the Great Witch lived here together.
Daniel’s wish that Sen didn’t want to be lonely had come true.
“Come on, here.”
Adrina, who handed the pie, glanced at the book the Great Witch was reading. It was, to be precise, a kind of diary, not a book.
Until now, she has recorded the life of the Great Witch herself.
The great witch spoke slowly with her eyes immersed in strange memories.
“I didn’t know that the end of my life would be such a warm room.”
“Why are you saying that already? You still have a long way to go.”
“Things and days.”
A great witch who can’t even fathom how long she’s lived. It was Adrina who believed that even if she said that, she would be able to live comfortably for 10 years right now.
“I washed everything!”
Sen jumped over the sofa and settled down next to the Great Witch. As the three years passed, he grew a little taller, but in contrast to his body, Sen became a little like a child.
It was not a bad change because it felt like I had regained the childhood I had lost as a choir.
In this way, in the McClain family, two ex-witches and a former assassin spend their time eating pies. There was no shortage of money.
After liquidating the village, along with the money the Great Witch had, Daniel McClane robbed the pirates and all the money he had fell to Sen.
I had no doubts that the warm time that a man gave me would continue.
Chick, Chick.
Suddenly, the space splits apart.
A cold wind blew through the cracks.
Before the three of them could react, the one who came out of the room tore apart had long silver hair that seemed to cover the entire living room floor.
“I, can you help me?”
Skinny bones, sagging cheeks and thick dark circles. A girl who has the appearance of a bad person whoever sees it.
“Daniel McClain, don’t you want to see me?”
It was the goddess of time.
