3.5 Interlude
** 3.5 Interlude
“…Machia-senpai?”
Not long after the professor in charge left, a new face entered the hospital room. I never thought that she would come to visit her in the hospital.
“This, this… “
As soon as she came in, she handed me coffee. Upon accepting it, it contained the menu that Winds had deliberately spilled half of it on while trying to drink it yesterday.
I kept thinking about this.
The person who was afraid of me until yesterday brings me these things? I wondered if this was a dream or real life, so I smiled and said thank you, and Makiah lowered her head while wiggling my bangs.
“I’ll eat well, senior.”
“Ahhh… oops, yes… “
Unexpectedly, the coffee was as warm as freshly brewed. It’s quite a distance from the cafe to the hospital, but Makia sunbaenim, who must have worked hard without resting, opened the package right away so as not to feel embarrassed.
Well, the scent is nice.
I immediately took a bite. A heartfelt review came naturally.
“It tastes better because no one is forced to spill it.”
“Ah, ah… “
At my joke, Makia sweated to the point of being a little frightened.
At a glance, I can tell he’s a friend or classmate of Wins and her, but that’s enough to make me wonder if he’s too caught up in life.
While she finished sipping her coffee, Makia wondered if she had anything to do.
I don’t know what he’s looking for, but he looks pretty bored.
‘Hmm… ‘
A timid person mustered up the courage to visit the hospital, so now is it my turn to approach you?
“By the way, senior, how did you know and come to visit me? This is really touching.”
Makia, who was strangely sorry to see her empty trash can, was startled.
“Ah, ah, yes… ! Somehow I heard something like that… Dae, someone got scared and ran away during Dalian class… “
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, I was in the middle of Dalian class. Professor Sui said he would help, but it was obvious that even if he avoided punishment, it would be seen as undesirable in the eyes of others.
From now on, I think I’ll have to look at it a little longer and make a plan. As long as you don’t know when Shimma will strike again, there are too many restrictions to act blindly.
I’ll have to get some medicine first.
“…..!”
When she looked at my expression badly, Makia thought she had made a mistake. She started to panic. She rolled her eyes here and there as she became more teary-eyed.
“Oh!”
Then Machia found something in her and her eyes lit up. Stretching her arms on her floor, she picked up a piece of paper.
“This, this!”
Makia held out a piece of paper to me with a flushed expression.
Looking closely, it was a piece of paper with the recipe for a tranquilizer written on it. Professor Sui copied what was scrawled on the whiteboard in the classroom, but the handwriting was dense and straight.
The paper seemed to have been blown away by the gust of magical power created by the bookmark earlier. I almost forgot about it.
“Ah, thank you sun-“
“—-This! What?!”
Makia pointed at her paper with an unprecedented vocalization.
“Uh, uh… ?”
At the moment I didn’t expect it, the high tone hit me and I was stunned. That’s why it had to be, because I never imagined that that shady senior would show such a lively figure.
Makia broke expectations every time.
“This is a drug formula, isn’t it?!”
I saw through the paper’s identity at once. I was quietly astonished.
“…Makia-senpai, do you know about pharmacy?”
“Chemical engineering to be exact! Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t said anything yet! Actually, my origin is, ah, wait a minute, the clothes are a hindrance—”
Without talking, she quickly took off the coat she always wore and threw it away.
Whoops.
Not only that, Makia unbuttoned a few buttons from her lab coat and shirt underneath.
“Look at this!”
“…..”
“The dimension I am from is called ‘Arcane’! Never heard of it? There are a lot of warriors who have mainly studied engineering in one way or another, but they’re not from a major background, hehehe… “
It was only when I saw the shape of the stigmata glistening around her collarbone that I realized why she had thrown off her clothes.
To be honest, it was a bit late to check the stigma because it was pushed by priority.
“Arcane… “
“Yes! If you ever need a medicine made from the combinations listed here, I-I think I can help! After all, my grades are really good! You’ll be able to believe it! At a glance, the materials are all available in the middle dimension!”
Makia was so agitated that she barely stuttered the words she usually stuttered, and she spoke with a fluency that was second to none, perhaps even comparable to anyone she had seen at the academy. .
“Me, senior.”
“Yes! Huh?”
So I said something before she got too long.
“…Was it really necessary to show stigma?”
“Huh? Why… ? Uh…..”
Makia, who looked down at her inadvertently, froze as it was.
For a moment, she thought time had stopped. Makia, who stopped breathing and looked at her upper body, quickly locked herself without saying a word.
“…..”
“…..”
She finally realized why Makia always walked around with her back bent. Like her stiff shoulders, she thought it would be difficult in many ways.
Anyway.
She was much more confused than before the story of her medicine came out, and she continued her words in order to somehow save her life. And she was just what I needed too.
“Kuhm. That’s great, but I was at a loss as to where to order the medicine.”
“…..Really?”
“Yes, I don’t mind, but may I ask you a favor? I’ll be sure to reward you.”
“…….Umm, no… “
“When can I go pick it up?”
“…I’ll contact you when it’s done…”
Makia stuffed the paper with her recipe into the pocket of her coat, and left the hospital room with a smile on her face.
Her appearance was very pitiful.

The next day, I was discharged straight away and arrived at the lecture room on time.
My classmates were chatting among themselves, but when they found me, they lowered their voice a bit. The atmosphere was a little different from usual, but it didn’t seem unusual anymore.
I thought so. Until someone pushes me out of the blue.
“Huh?”
“What is it, uh. If you have a mouth, try talking. Did you hit or not?”
I barely held on to what I almost fell over, and when I turned around, I saw a male student clad in a girl, glaring at me with his arms outstretched.
“You are right? The guy who pushed Julia in front of the bathroom yesterday.”
“Uh…..”
As I pondered over my memories, I felt like I really did.
‘It was then.’
To be exact, I ran into someone while running out of the bathroom to vomit after suffering from heartbreak at the gymnasium.
I glanced at the woman. The girl, whose name was presumably Julia, had a slight blue bruise at her elbow. She, too, had her eyes lifted up in her half madness, half resentment.
Could it be that it was because of the collision?
“Ah… I’m sorry. Are you seriously hurt?”
I shyly apologized first, but they didn’t even look at my outstretched hand. Instead, he took a more threatening approach and maintained a high-handed attitude.
At this point, I can’t help but know.
“A bastard who ran away to the bathroom because he was afraid of even practicing and was hospitalized for a day.”
At this point, all the students around him burst into laughter.
“Would a woman be cowardly enough to molest and run away? Does a person from fantasy look like a dick?”
“Um…..”
It’s s*xual harassment. It was just a little embarrassing for me. I asked Julia cautiously.
“Did I not hit your elbow yesterday?”
“You pervert, you touched my breasts and ran away!!”
What?
“..… “

Then why was the bruised elbow highlighted? I was dumbfounded and opened my mouth, but before I knew it, countless eyes were flying around me.
Perhaps the man ordered it.
It seemed that a tacit order had formed between them after they were away for just one day. Well, since we would have confirmed each other’s skills through a legal battle called Dalian, there was a chance that such a thing would happen.
“When there were only rumors, I didn’t touch it just in case, but it was just as the seniors said. People from Eros are trash that should have been discarded. If you leave it alone, you’re sure to start playing around with your dick.”
At the words that became more and more blatant, my eyes naturally furrowed, although it was not my intention.
Then, the man who recognized it like a ghost crumpled his face. It was a bonus that he held on tight as if he would break my shoulder.
aaah…
“It was hard to endure. In the meantime, school life must have been really boring for someone from Eros, right?”
The male student finally started a righteous and punishing revenge play for his girlfriend who was molested by Eros.
It can’t be anything other than admirable and terrible love.
Julia, who was snugly in the arms of a man, glanced at me with her cheerful and funny eyes, so that woman wanted to sleep with her legs stretched out at night.
“I am Gared from Fantasy.”
“…This is Alem.”
“They say there will be more Dalian lectures from now on, but I will point you out in each class. You’ll have a lot of fun, huh?”
“Yes, what…..”
When I measured the power coming into my shoulders, it seemed like there wouldn’t be much of a problem.
