47 – Jane (1)

A week has passed since the midterm exam ended.

For a week, naturally, nothing happened as usual.

Just.

“Okay. One!”

“uuugh!”

“Two!”

“aaahhh!”

“Three!”

“Kyaaa!”

I was just training Jukchang for a week.

Now Jukchang is squatting hard at my command. She

Even though she has only done three, she is already ready to die.

Just by looking at the expression, you would know that there were about 300 of them.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Sorry, owner!”

“How is our Jukchang these days? Without even knowing how I feel as the owner. Do you know why I’m punishing you like this?”

“Oh, I ate the owner’s ice cream secretly…””

What? Did you eat that? It won’t work. “Let’s start again from the beginning.”

“It’s absurd!”

Jukchang looks like the world is wronged by my words.

Uh huh. Originally, the world was all about absurd laws.

“Well, anyway, let’s stop training today. “Are you asking because you don’t know why I’m really educating you like this?”

“Uh, um. Ah!”

As she thought deeply about my question, a light bulb burst out from the top of her head.

She wasn’t exaggerating, she was a real lightbulb.

‘Does he use his transformation ability for this?’

That time when I looked at her in bewilderment.

“Is it because we educate students too harshly during midterm exams?”

Soon, she gives the correct answer she wants.

I nodded and answered.

“That’s right. Even though other students are like that. “You can’t beat up a warrior who is my secret weapon to the point of insanity like that.”

“Uh, um. “I think the yanderes would have been disappointed to hear it. Anyway, I don’t think that’s what the owner said?”

Jukchang tackles Jukchang without coming to his senses, probably because he hasn’t received enough punishment yet.

Let me narrow my eyes and stare.

“No! The owner is also beating up the hero who is doing something! Even though you say you don’t like it!”

Isn’t the world refuting this with an unfair face?

Well, it can definitely be unfair from his point of view.

Both Jukchang and I end up doing the same thing.

But.

“I hit with some degree of control. “You’re just beating the kid into dust.”

“What are you talking about? Master. “How gently did I hit him!”

As she said that, she raised her dainty fist.

It certainly doesn’t look painful on the outside.

“Even if you hit me gently. “It hurts the same.”

Her physical attacks were completely useless to her anyway.

As I looked at her in bewilderment, she avoided her gaze and whistled with her awkward face.

“Ugh. Anyway, do it in moderation next time.”

“Yes. Okay.”

“Master. “Can I come in?”

At that time, Jane knocked on the door.

I ordered you to come in immediately.

Then.

-Kkiik!

She opens her door and comes in.

Hmm? What’s going on?

Don’t you usually go to a meeting with a group of women on the weekend?

“Master. “I have something to say.”

At that time, she spoke with her serious face.

When I looked at her expression and wondered, Jane answered my question.

“I think I need to go far away for a while.”

“·····.”

Ah. Is it already that time?

There is a time once a year when she leaves her mansion.

That is none other than the time when the mercenary guild calls all guild members.

I clearly remember going to this time in the previous episode.

And.

‘An incident broke out here when Jane said she was quitting the mercenary guild.’

I remember that it was quite difficult to bring her back at the time.

I was thinking about what happened in the previous episode.

“Master?”

She approaches me, tilting her head.

Ah. Have I been thinking too long?

“Uh. Okay, I understand. “You can come back soon, right?”

“Yes. “At most, two days is enough.”

She has become stronger than her previous episode..

Even if I don’t help you, you will be able to solve it on your own.

He probably knew that and said it so confidently.

“Okay. Okay.”

“Yes. “Then I’ll go right away.”

With those words, Jane suddenly disappeared in front of me.

Jukchang, who was rolling around in bed, asks a question.

“But you don’t have to help the owner?”

“Well, there’s no need to help. “If I were Jane right now, I would be able to handle it on my own.”

“But you don’t know what will happen because the future has changed, right?”

“That’s true, but as long as there are no more than two executives from the Demon King’s Army, it will be okay.”

“I’m sure it won’t matter then.”

“Anyway, that’s it. “Now let’s get back to education.”

Jukchang is shocked and opens his eyes wide at my words.

What is it? Why are you reacting like that?

“Didn’t I tell you that training is over yet?”

“Didn’t you clearly say it as if you wanted to end it?”

“It must be an illusion.”

“No, it’s not an illusion at all.”

“Yes. Then I guess it’s not a mistake. Now I have to pay for stealing my ice cream.’

“······.”

Why? If you actually stole, you should be punished.

***

The next day.

Now is the day I have to go to work.

So I have to open my eyes.

‘Ah. ‘I don’t want to wake up.’

Strangely, I can’t open my eyes.

Now that I think about it, Jane hasn’t come to wake me up yet.

Normally, wouldn’t she have woken me up at her own time to go to work?

So, it may not be time yet.

“·····Ah. Right. “Jane went back home for a while.”

Muttering that, I opened my eyes with difficulty.

Now, let’s check the time for a moment.

“f*ck.”

I think I’ll be late for the first time in a long time.

***

I quickly got ready and went to work, arriving 30 minutes later than usual.

Next moment.

“Wow. “Professor Elric, it’s been a while since I’ve been late.”

“Yes.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“More than that, it seems like things are less organized than usual?”

“I look like that too.”

People around me look at me with somewhat surprising expressions.

I listened to those around me and asked Jukchang.

‘Jukchang-ah. ‘Am I not very organized?’

-Uh. I don’t know.

‘Yes. Well, what do you know?’

-Profit!

Ignoring Jukchang’s reaction, I entered the classroom.

Then, the students who had been talking quietly fell silent.

I immediately went up to the podium and called attendance.

After calling everyone to attend, I moved on to the main topic.

“Okay. So, as you all know, a week has passed since the midterm exams ended. “Students with high grades should also attend after-school classes starting today.”

“No! “My freedom!”

“You’d rather kill me!”

“Ah. “God, please kill that demon lord!”

The moment I finish speaking, the students who were enjoying their freedom look into their eyes full of despair.

It looks like he really wants to take after-school classes.

-I don’t think so at all, owner? ‘In the beginning, a strong negation is a strong positivity.’

With those words, I continued the lecture as usual.

***

Lunch time after the morning lecture.

I sit in a restaurant and eat.

“I’ll sit down here. Professor.”

Suddenly, Roswin sits across from me with a bewitching smile.

I looked at the tray she brought for a moment.

‘What is it? Is this really food that people eat?’

It is no exaggeration to say that it is eaten by herbivores rather than by humans, so it is all about grass.

The moment I saw that, I asked without knowing.

“Are you full from that?”

“Of course I won’t kick it.”

“But why do you have to do that?”

“That’s right. “If you eat anything else, you’ll gain weight.”

With her gloomy face, she stuffs the vegetables on her plate into her mouth.

“Wow. It’s good.”

Without exaggeration, I don’t feel a single soul.

I looked at her like that and let out a sigh.

“Ha. “It’s a good idea to eat at least this.”

While saying that, I cut a small portion of her steak in front of me and handed it to her.

Next moment.

-Gurgling!

Drool flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Soon, she came to her senses and shook her head.

“Hmm. Normally I wouldn’t eat it. “The professor gave it to me, so I’ll eat it.”

“······.”

How nice it would be to say such words without drooling.

For a moment, she looked at Margaret, who was standing somewhat behind her.

Then, she looked at Roswin with pity in her eyes.

“Margaret, aren’t you eating?”

“As an escort driver, I am satisfied with eating later.”

-Growl!

Before she finished speaking, the belly button ringing in my ear.

Unlike words, the body is honest.

In an instant, her face turns bright red.

“Margaret, please sit down and eat a little. Only then will it be possible to escort the princess.”

“That’s right. “You should eat some too.”

Rose Wind nodded as if she agreed with what I said.

Then, Margaret cleared her throat and answered.

“Hmm. Yes. All right. Then I will go and order some food. “Professor, please ask the princess for a moment.”

“Yes. Bye.”

With those words, Margaret quickly goes to order food.

I guess I was quite hungry.

“Anyway. Princess. Is it okay for you to be in front of me like this? “The other female companions will notice that the princess has returned.”

“Well, you probably already noticed that. She openly appealed like that during the midterm exam. Anyway, that’s it. “Can’t you see Jane?”

Rose Winn looks around for Jane.

I responded to her question by stuffing the food in her mouth down her throat.

“Jane has returned to her parents’ home.”

“Aha. “I guess now is the time.”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Hmm. “Is there a reason why the professor looks like that?”

“Yes? Does it look like that?

I don’t understand. When I tilt her head, she smiles softly and quietly reaches for her tie.

“Look at this now. Even the tie is not properly organized. “The same goes for the collar here.”

As she said that, she carefully organized my clothes.

It seems like what people around me said today is true.

‘I didn’t know when it was there, but it wasn’t there like this. Something is missing.’

-Owner. Wake! It seems to me that you are being deceived!

The next moment, a bamboo spear suddenly awakens my spirit.

Wow. I was crazy. I never thought I would feel empty without a single day.

At this point, I had a reasonable suspicion that Jane may have been aiming for this.

I asked Roswin a question while wiping away the raised skin on my forearm.

“So, why are you sitting in front of me like this?”

“Hmm. “Because you want to see the professor’s face?”

“······.”

“Wow. “Is there any reason to look at me like that?”

“I’m sorry, but this is not inside the school.”

“I secretly set up a barrier so no one could hear anyway.”

“Anyway, so what’s the point?”

She speaks with a shallow sigh in response to my question.

“I’m trying to convey that the Demon Lord’s movements are strange these days.”

“Hmm? “What do you think the Demon King’s movements are like?”

“Hmm. “I don’t know for sure, but it’s definitely showing a completely different movement compared to the previous episode.”

“Isn’t it just the butterfly effect?”

Aren’t we doing a completely different movement now than we did the previous time?

Other than that, there would be no reason for the future to change.

“That could be possible. Still, there’s no harm in being careful, right?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Anyway, I sat in front to tell you this. “To be exact, it’s because I wanted to eat with the professor.”

With those words, we continued eating.

And Jane did not return on the promised date.

As an aside, after Margaret received the food, we had already finished eating.
