Chapter 67 – Confinement Soon-ae is free from handcuffs!
Click, clap, clap.
It was definitely a sound that could be expressed as a clang. The sound of metal lightly clashing against metal. A pleasant metallic sound that clears the ears.
One side could be easily inferred. There are iron bars of an appropriate height on either side of the bed in the ward to prevent patients from falling while sleeping. This is probably the culprit behind the hollow, ting, ting, sound.
Then, the identity of another metal remains. Even I couldn’t have easily predicted that. Since she did not usually wear rings or bracelets, it was very difficult to even guess her identity. I thought of the banal possibility of an arm being cut off in a snowy field and replaced with a metal prosthetic arm, but the flesh-colored fingers exposed through the thin patient gown gave me a sensation so vivid that it left no room for doubt.
Now that I think about it, it seems like something is sparkling around my wrist…
I wasn’t aware of it until now, but I feel a foreign body. It seemed like my body temperature was a little warm, but there were moments when it cooled down. Okay. It’s like an object that has the properties of cold metal.
I gulped, swallowed, and slowly looked down at my right arm. At that moment, Cecilia, who had been standing quietly and listening to her, smiled softly.
“Teacher? “Why are you doing that?”
“…… Cecilia?”
The time I spent as a farmer was long, but it could never be said to be short. Just a moment ago, I was trying to say a few words to Cecilia and congratulate her on getting rid of her fever.
‘I heard you were surprised to see me in the snowy field? Sorry. ‘You won’t see anything like that again from now on’ or ‘Congratulations on being freed from her abscess. But you shouldn’t do that in the future either. I was planning to continue with a sharp point like that of a teacher, such as ‘It’s wrong to sneak into the lab and put me and Undine to sleep with sleeping gas and then satisfy your desires.’
…… Until I discovered the brilliant silver handcuffs fastened to my wrists.
Cheolkeng, Cheolkeng.
“Teacher, how are you feeling?”
“Cecilia. On my wrist… “
“Are you okay? Are you not sick? She was told that she had lost her memory. Professor Freya was crying on the stairs. Of course I didn’t believe it. There is no way the teacher will forget me. “If you lose your memory, it must be your mistake.”
…… Did he talk this much?
Furthermore, Freya herself said that she lost her memory?
Freya had never told a lie, even as a joke, so I couldn’t even tell how angry she was right now.
“Cecilia. “I feel like my arms are tied.”
“… Yes?”
Fox ears prick up. Her head tilts. With an innocent look on her face, gently flicking her tail,
The eyes that look at me……
The eyes are black and dead.
“No. Teacher.”
“I’m tied up.”
“No way, teacher.”
“I am detained.”
“I have no intention of doing so.”
“These are handcuffs, right?”
“… Teacher. “Are you hallucinating?”
She was usually shy, but even in front of me, she would sometimes be very reserved in what she said, or would accelerate quickly without showing her expression.
But now, she was somehow playing with me with her soft and relaxed tone.
Still, she did not feel alive at all, and it seemed as if she was encountering the calm before the storm.
It was only then that I realized. Cold sweat beaded on her back.
I shouted inside.
‘Cecilia is broken!’
Undine didn’t even notice my friend’s situation. She must have been dissatisfied with only talking to Cecilia, so she puffed out her cheeks as usual and made a surprise protest by rolling around on the bed, asking for her to go to bed too.
I was wondering when I would get a night’s pay, but right now, my priority was to take off the handcuffs on my wrists.
“Undine… ?”
“Yes! Did you call me?! Did you finally call me?! Have you finally felt like getting your stamp?! It’s enough to bother you! Here, the marriage certificate! Come on, come on! Please take a picture quickly!”
“Okay, okay…” I’ll give you an autograph or something, Undine. “Let me solve this first.”
Undine, who was waving the marriage certificate around in response to my lie about signing it, began to worry with a conflicted expression on her face. But she quickly shook her head.
“That’s not possible. “She made an agreement with Bulyeosi.”
“Agreement… ? What agreement?”
“That’s it~ A new secretly added to my exciting collection… …. Ugh!! Call me! Wow! Seosani! …. Senniing!!”
A fox catches its prey. Undine screams, but it is already too late.
Suddenly boom! And the door closed.
What on earth did those friends come here to do?
I was left behind, just a poor teacher who couldn’t hold on to the two people, nor had the strength to follow them. I muster up the courage to reach out, but the metal hanging on the bed just rattles indifferently.
I looked back at Professor Aegis to see if she could, but she just smiled like always.

“I was against it at first, but after seeing what happened just now, it wasn’t a bad decision to keep him confined to bed for a while~♪”
“hahahaha… Professor Aegis. But the kids will let it go soon, right?”
“…………….”
“Hey, I don’t have accidents anymore.”
“…………….”
“Well, it’s still a process, isn’t it a good thing anyway? “We defeated the monsters in the snowy field and the academy is now safe!”
“…………….”
“The key! Who has the keys?! Cecilia? Or is it Undine?”
“Professor Freya confiscated it from student Cecilia. “He said I couldn’t use it if I did that too much and that I would have to release it myself later.”
“Pff, Freya…… “
“But it looks like he won’t be coming here for a while~ Because of where so-and-so lives~♩”
The water has already been spilled. The path I found through my clever thinking was not very bright.
“… Ah, that’s right! Class! You also have to go to class. You said you lost your mind for 15 days, right? I’m sure the students are waiting for me? I can’t be tied up here like this…… “
“So far, your classes have been taught by Professor Fernandez. Professor Fernandez is a person who has many problems with his outburst of desire and s*xual orientation, but Professor Neferna knows very well that he is a human being who has no problem giving full marks as a professor~♪”
“Of course. But what should I do because I’m still sorry? Even if you faint, you can’t keep leaving it to Professor Fernandez……..”
“If Professor Freya makes a light request, wouldn’t Professor Fernandez take care of it for the rest of the semester?♪ If that doesn’t work, you can hire a child actor and play with his desires.”
Poor Fernandez. But this is more than your karma.
When I let out a dry laugh, “hahahaha,” Professor Aegis stood up from his seat with a meaningful expression.
“hehehe, I guess that’s what you know. “Then I’ll go out for a while.”
“Professor Aegis!!”
***
I never imagined that the words ‘I’ll go out for a while and come back’ really meant ‘for a while’ as the dictionary says.
Just as the minute hand had barely made a half-turn, Professor Aegis appeared with a light knock.
“Oh my, are you still awake?”
She widened her eyes in surprise.
But I had no time to worry about such things.
The fear of being tied up for the first time in my life mixed with the fear of what would happen in the future began to eat away at my ego, and I soon got to the point where I couldn’t maintain normal thinking. It was a change that occurred in just thirty minutes. I tried to remove the handcuffs several times, but the thin piece of iron showed no sign of moving.
I feel in real time that my judgment of the situation is slowing down and my organic thinking is broken. Yes, that’s right. Professor Aegis, who abandoned me and showed up late, was my savior and my true mother.
“Professor Aegis… this… “
I weakly lift my handcuffed hands.
“Oh my, would you like me to release you?”
“Yes, yes…” “
“hehehe, when you’re doing that, you just feel like a baby. Professor Neferna~♪”
It’s like a baby… What does the word baby mean…
My head was spinning as if the blood flow to my brain was blocked. I grabbed her hungry stomach and muttered, not even really understanding what Professor Aegis was saying.
“I’m hungry… My stomach… I’m hungry….”
“It’s worth it~ I survived for 15 days with only nutritional supplements♪ I guess I didn’t realize it because I was nervous earlier~”
“……… …. Fu, please release me.”
“Are you hungry?”
“Yes.”
“First, take a drink of this water.”
I was thirsty, so I quickly emptied the cup Professor Aegis gave me.
“I’m hungry.”
“Yes.”
“Then, try saying ‘Please give me something~’.”
“… …. Yes?”
“Try to say ‘Mamma please~'”
I couldn’t understand what kind of situation this was, but I had no choice but to block the energy going to her brain, so I did as she told me.
Smooth and quiet.
… I feel like I’m in a daze, I feel like I’ve become really stupid.
And after drinking the water, my consciousness feels a little strange… ?
Something, something is strange. Still, I feel good… like this… If only I could be held in those arms…
I am just like a baby bird…
“Mama… Mom… “
“Oh my♪”
“Mamma… Rice….”
“It’s great~♩ This way…” A delicious mom is here~♪”
Mamma Mamma Mamma………
Huge, mamma. Mamma. Soft. Mamma. Mamma. Teeng… Damn…
Squeak. The sound of a hinge. A scratchy sound that is not oiled.
Even in my dazed unconsciousness, I thought that this might be the sound of a door opening, so I turned my head.
“…………….”
“Oh my… Professor Freya… ? How do we get here….”
