Episode 169 There are too many crazy bitches (3)

“How are you going to do that? why.”
“Because it wasn’t a bad offer?”
“no. bad.”
“It used to be your job. It just happened a little bit earlier, but what about it?”
“Even if it’s fast, it’s because it’s too fast.”
“No, this is much better than procrastination.”
It was very unusual for Aina to accept such a reckless proposal.
Because Aina wasn’t the type to enjoy playing risky, gambled moves.
Rather, it belongs to the axis I hate the most.
Therefore, I thought that even a crazy offer like ‘Kill the Heavenly Demon’ would naturally be rejected.
But, isn’t Aina saying that she will do it right away before I even make a decision?
It wasn’t even before the question-and-answer between me and Hilda.
“What made you think that?”
“Simple. No matter how long it takes, I’m sure you’ll accept that offer someday. right?”
“… Perhaps it is.”
“okay. All that means is that we are wasting that huge power called Hilda. If it’s a power to use anyway, wouldn’t it be better to use it as quickly as possible? and”
“and?”
“If you give Hilda time and then change her mind, that’s a much bigger problem.”
It was a dangerous case.
I also didn’t completely rule out that number, but I was predicting that the chance of it actually happening was slim.
If all of this was a trap and a lie to take away that white stone that was the remnant of my dream, it would have been better for me to go there myself.
The moment you touch my body or my objects, even for a moment, all my memories will be read.
That was the reason why I was terrified when I first saw the scene where he was secretly eating some sweets hidden in the cupboard.
I wondered if it was possible that I secretly read the memories of my objects through psychometry.
However, it was clearly Claudia, not Hilda, who was in front of us.
“In the end, it’s better to accept the offer, even at the risk.”
“It’s a business with nothing to lose. If he had intended to betray him from the beginning, he would have become hostile at some point, and if he was really on our side, he would have a chance to become a genius.”
“It seems to make sense when you say that.”
“It’s like you’re reluctant to believe in something.”
“Honestly, I still can’t believe it at all. But, since you, not anyone else, say so, well… That’s what I think and move on.”
“You seem to be following me a lot these days? I guess my dad was pretty scary. yes?”
Aina sent a playful smile.
I was so engrossed in it that I forgot that she was pricking my side.
It’s not because Aina is my lover.
It’s not just because she’s a beauty.
To be honest, it was the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen.
“yes? Why all of a sudden… ?”
Unknowingly, my hand was pointing towards her eyes.
Until the first time she held out her hand, she had a bewildered expression as if she did not understand the English language, but soon regained a smile and leaned her cheek slightly.
I could be sure of this.
Aina must have always been a person with a good smile.
“It’s pretty and suits you well. That laugh.”
“What kind of buzzing noise is that?”
“just. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you smile like that.”
How many people would believe that Aina could make such a lovely expression?
Probably not.
This pair of teardrops touching my thumb perfectly matched Aina’s pitiful looking impression.
It would be difficult to find a better harmony than this, so it was understandable that the imagination stopped there.
I thought so too until a while ago.
However, I can now say with certainty that I was wrong.
Didn’t Aina prove it herself?
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
More than ever, the most outstanding characteristic when he smiles.“I get it. You want to look good to my father, so you’re working on me?”
“right.”
“It won’t change the evaluation, so be aware. You are colder than me. No matter how hard I try to compliment you, you won’t pretend to hear me.”
“Then what do you do?”
“By-self.”
Simultaneously with the answer, we made a ‘foot’ sound.
It would have been unimaginable in the past, but something like this.
Even if it had been a year ago, he would have given only sullen answers with a hot face, or only serious answers with a subdued tone.
It was surprising that they exchanged such meaningless jokes in such a short period of time.
“But, to be honest, I don’t know why you are so vigilant. I think I’ve shown everything I can show, isn’t it reliable?”
“It’s been a long time coming. If you had come to a conclusion after contemplating on it for a while, you would have gone without thinking. I want to.”
“You’re weird these days. Why are you doing something you’ve never done before? When are you always complaining to me saying, ‘You’re not like you’? Don’t you have a secret you’re hiding from me?”
“Looking back now, it seems like our roles have changed a bit?”
It was a sudden thought.
At first, it was a half-joking story, but when I look back on my recent memories, I have changed to myself as a nagging person, and I thought that the way I was thinking for a while before doing anything became a lot like Aina again.
Conversely, Aina didn’t have an energetic expression like before, but only vomited a tired look on her face, but when something happened right in front of her, she started thinking about getting rid of it without much thought.
It was a good thing, of course, that they complemented each other’s shortcomings, but this went beyond the line of making up for the shortcomings and reached a level where they changed their positions, and it felt a bit awkward.
“It is said that if you love, you resemble each other, but there is nothing good about being too similar. I don’t think the phrase “overpaid pay” is an understatement.”
“I know. That’s what I should have said in the first place.”
“Then why don’t you give me some tea that you’re ashamed of and see? I think it would be cute.”
“I can’t do anything because I don’t think I’d be ashamed.”
“okay? Then don’t.”
Aina seemed to have lost interest, so she took her into my arms and started a normal conversation.
“But, when will we graduate?”
“I will do it next year. Why are you graduating all of a sudden?”
“just. If I can graduate early, I don’t think it would be a bad idea.”
“What?”
I couldn’t help but be surprised by the word of early graduation.
Because I was so engrossed in life here that I had forgotten my duty.
This is the world of an academy novel.
Therefore, it was natural to react sensitively when talking about early graduation, dropping out, or expulsion.
In general, after going through something big, I had a change of heart, left the academy, and found my own beliefs.
“Did you say anything wrong? You could be graduating early. Seeing that the president took care of the paperwork for the creation of your hero team, I was just saying that he was trying to graduate early.”
“If it’s for a good reason, it won’t be bad, but… Still, I think we need to think about it.”
“I look good. Of course, first-class academies like the Trinity Academy we attend are a different story, but most academies aim to join a good team of heroes rather than teach something when they reach senior class, i.e. graduation year.”
“I agree with that. From the perspective of us, who have already formed a team, there is no particular merit in completing the graduating class. Even if there are a lot of things left to learn, I don’t think it’s something to be learned at the academy… ”
“More than anything else, I want to take a break for about a year. At the same time, I also want to spend a life like a lover with you.”
It’s a lover’s life
I never dreamed that the day would come when I would hear such a story.
Of course, I also thought that the day I would marry Aina would come someday, but I never imagined that the story of living together would be a hot topic already.
What will happen to her ambiguous relationship with Serena has not yet been decided, and what she has committed so far is nothing more than a joke for children, and in a situation where only a future lurking in dangerous events remains, how can you dream of such a dream?
I have enough money to make my dream of owning a house come true, but there are still too many things I lack to make other dreams come true.
Above all, Aina’s father seemed to dislike me.
What should I do? While I was on a trip in my thoughts, Aina suddenly began to look carefully at my nameplate.
“why?”
“You may have to leave the house. Then your last name (?) must follow you, so I checked the nameplate to see if I remembered your last name properly.”
At those words, it seemed as if I could hear a ‘pop’ in my head.
It would not have been so unfamiliar to me if I had called it marriage openly. How could I say such a thing?
“… Look, you’re shy. cute.”
“Ahh?”
“Do you remember what I said earlier? No matter what I do, I won’t be ashamed.”
“Yeah, it was.”
“… Because you’re shy, I’m embarrassed for some reason.”
We answered with humming tones, not even meeting each other’s eyes.
Even this wasn’t an immediate answer, it was a response that paused for a while.
“I’m not joking, so should I think about it?” “Even if you follow me, I will follow you.”
In the end, what arrived at the end was an awkward silence.
It took quite a while to break that silence and re-talk about Hilda, which was originally on the agenda.
In fact, even that was too trivial compared to the previous story, so it passed quickly.
