Chapter 66 – Professor, this is all karma~♪
“… I’m sorry, Eugene. You know, I think I heard wrong….”
I thought about that trembling word.
“Well, just now…” Energy… …. I didn’t say I couldn’t remember… ? Yes?”
This guy’s mouth is so selfish.
There is no excuse even if the words have already been spilled. It was just a spinal reflex to avoid nagging by gaining cheap sympathy from Freya.
But I wanted to pick up what I said, even if it meant licking the floor.
There was a moment when I thought it was a no-brainer.
That was around the time when I said something stupid like, ‘I don’t remember~ I don’t even know~’. As foolish as I am, it wasn’t until I saw with my own eyes that Freya and Professor Aegis’ expressions hardened that I realized that I had jumped into an anti-tank minefield.
“Why… Why are you like this? It’s me, Freya. “Are you kidding me?”
Even now, I wonder if I could just smile and say, ‘hahahahaha’ and say, ‘Of course.’
“Huh? Yes….? Under…… Huh… ? That’s strange… No way… I don’t have one… We must not forget…… Ahahahaha… more… That’s strange… “
Once a momentary conflict has passed through your mind, you have already missed the time.
“Just kidding… easy? They say it’s a joke… Please… “
“No joke… go… “
I was so, so scared, so I couldn’t help but keep my mouth shut, saying, ‘It wasn’t a joke, it was just a lie.’
“What’s wrong… really… why… Why… “
My reaction must have caused a deeper misunderstanding, as Freyja bit her lip and began to cry, sliding down the bed as if she was about to break.
She grabbed Professor Aegis’s sleeve and began to speak with a pale face, as if she had been completely frightened.
“What should I do…” Oh my god… Professor Aegis… ? Eugene is strange… “Didn’t you say there was no problem?”
“…… Wait a minute. “I’ll take a look.”
“I remember… He said he couldn’t remember… What should I do… sun… It’s my fault. I am… I should have stopped it in advance… I had a feeling… I never thought I would really go out to the snowy fields…… “
“Professor Freya, calm down. First of all, I…… “
“… Huh.. Huh! Black!”
I was the one who was taken aback by the trembling voice, as if I was going to run out of breath at any moment. I wanted to force myself to look away, but I couldn’t.
They began to continue their conversation among themselves.
“Ho, maybe you hurt your head? Can I get better?”
“I’ll have to look into it first… “If there is a problem with the brain, things may get a little worse.”
“Hmm… hehehe, black! Please… Please… please… “
“…… “I don’t know anything yet, so please calm down first.”
Professor Aegis cast her magic with her cold, sunken eyes. It was the first chant she had ever heard in her life, and it was probably magic related to medicine.
Professor Aegis’s hand engulfed in opaque light. It was like a candle to hypnotize. Filled with anxiety, I stared intently at the flames from afar.
Look here. Focus on the fire. Quietly. The wick is burning out. My heart is burning too. The candle flickers. My heart is shaking too. Ah, come to your senses. Now is not the time for such jokes. Now, calm down. My name is Eugene Seo Neferna. We are now at the most critical crossroads.
Professor Aegis gradually approached me. He stared at me with expressionless eyes that contrasted with the warm smile he always gave me.
As if he was urging me.
I could implicitly understand that this was her last chance.
I immediately adjusted my posture as if possessed by something.
One. It gives strength to the eyes.
Two. Clear your voice.
Three. Kneel down.
“I’m sorry. I lied. It’s not a joke. I didn’t expect you to be so sad. I wasn’t awake yet, so I did it because I didn’t want to get scolded. Please, if you look at me with a generous heart, I will try to live a good life without telling lies like this in the future. “Let me take a look.”

…… Waiting.
“……… ….”
“……… ….”
Glitch, gurgle, I swallow, and the sound of the second hand ticking from the clock located in a corner of the hospital room.
I tried to open my eyes wide, but I didn’t have the courage to make eye contact with the two people, so I lowered them again.
How much time has passed? I think it probably hasn’t been that long. The time felt was closer to hours rather than seconds.
“I’m crazy…… ?”
The one word that Freyja managed to shake out with a thin breath pierced me like a dagger.
“There are things to joke about and things to joke about… ?”
“… Sorry…… Do….”
“I… How worried…… Is………… You…… Really… really… “
Her mouth opened wide, but all that followed was her throaty sound, and she gasped for air,
“………… It’s really bad.”
After that, I couldn’t continue speaking.
She couldn’t answer anything.
I hurriedly covered my red, swollen eyes and boom! I could only stare at Freyja’s back as she closed the door and left.
“Oh my~ you made me cry~♪”
“………… “
“I’d like to joke about it, but I don’t really want to defend myself this time, so please understand.”
“Professor Aegis…… “
“Because I’m angry. Me too.”
“… Sorry.”
Then a light sigh followed. Professor Aegis smiled bitterly and opened his mouth.
“…… You were surprised. I thought he would wake up after 15 days after fainting due to lack of magical energy, but the first thing he said was, “Who are you?” And said something that would make a person’s heart sink. “Why did you do that?”
I was trying to choose my words carefully, but when I heard the rather shocking period of ’15 days’, I decided that it would be wiser to report the loss straight away.
“… Sorry. Lately, strangely awkward things have been happening with Freya…. A misunderstanding or something… “I thought I couldn’t build up a stack of dislikes anymore.”
“Misunderstanding… ?”
Then she blinked her eyes and muttered softly, as if she had something to point out.
“Ah, that’s why I asked you what about men who love children.”
… Child lover? Are you talking about Fernandez?
“Anyway, I didn’t want to cause as much trouble as possible… ….”
“You were concerned that conflict would arise again because you went out to the snowy field without saying anything.”
“That’s right.”
“Professor Neferna, is she the type of person who pours oil instead of water when the house is on fire because she doesn’t want to add fuel to the fire?”
… I have nothing to say.
“I saw you fighting in the snow.”
“……… Yes?”
“There was someone who said they came from the Magic Tower. They looked like twins…… “It didn’t seem like he was alive and well.”
“Magic Tower… ? Does it look like a doll…… “
“Oh, that’s right.”
“It must be the first full moon.”
“There was quite a commotion here too. There was a lot of noise as residents and students prepared evacuation measures. Meanwhile, I suddenly found myself in a different place, as if possessed by a ghost. “When I came to my senses, the Crown Prince and Princess, who had left the academy in a hurry, were in the same place.”
“Space-time magic. “It is the specialty of the first full moon.”
“The twin dolls showed us a view of a snowy field. Jet-black monsters gathered together to a disgusting degree… Anyway, the moment a meteor-like magic fell from the sky, I thought Professor Neferna and the Disizu siblings died together.”
“…… That was the plan. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. “I never imagined that you would intuit it.”
“Everyone was extremely worried. Really. “Miss Cecilia was so shocked that her fever went away.”
“…… Was it that easy to solve?”
“It’s not easy. The great magic that devastated the entire area hit the mark, and everyone fell to the ground as soon as their eyes turned white. “Miss Cecilia was very shocked, so please comfort her when you see her later.”
“… Wait a minute. It looks like someone is coming outside… “
“Oh my… “It’s time for Cecilia and Miss Undine to come~ But isn’t it a little early?”
As soon as Professor Aegis finished speaking, the door slammed! And it opened.
“Teacher! Teacher! “Is it true that you lost your memory?!”
“Teacher.”
Undine and Cecilia entered the hospital room at once.
In particular, Cecilia’s fever was relieved just as Professor Aegis said. The moment she waved her hand to say hello, Undine blocked her path and flew up to hug her.
“Well… ! You’re losing your memory! No need to worry! As for that Undine, your lover…… No, she is the wife. You may be very confused, but let’s work together and make new memories! Now, this is the relevant document. Here’s the trouble….”
On the document Undine held out to her, the words ‘Marriage Registration’ were written in large letters.
This cute young lady seemed to have thought of her amnesia as an idiot losing all her learned memories.
Even if it’s real, I can at least read the letters, Undine.
Anyway, this too will be karma.
Where on earth did the story leak out in such a short period of time?
I lifted her arm to place my hand on her forehead due to her dizzy feeling……… Clap!
“…… Huh?”
Clap!
No, I tried to lift her arm……. Clang, clank, clank!
“…………… “
…… Clap? What do you mean?
What does this mean again?
