Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 39: Partners

"Is that it?"

In addition to the bed, the room had additional tans, crystal lights (shaped to resemble candlesticks), and a wall clock.

The school director shows tance with a shaped jaw.

"I put in a spare uniform, so use it if you need it"

"... I'm sorry for all the arrangements you've made. Um, athletic clothes, thank you."

"That's about natural. And then..."

What the school director pointed to pi was a wall clock.

"I'll explain how to use that."

I just thanked you for the clock, but what, the alarm function (?) It was a watch with.

Could it be that Mia told me so much about not waking up in my morning...

"And this."

Handed to me was a small bag of cloth with a tied mouth.

A little weight.

Shit, I heard a noise.

"In the meantime, five silver coins. If I had known I was going to the Holy Ruins from today, I would have given them to you sooner..."

"No... I'm sorry, so much"

"No, take it here. And make sure you're ready to dive into the sacred ruins. It's okay to be modest, but you already have a partner in the Holy Monument attack, don't you? When your gear is poor, it also results in annoyance for her. No?"

I squeezed my mouth tight and received a bag of silver coins again.

Sure, she's right.

"... one day, I will definitely return it"

The school director smiles.

"Don't expect me to wait."

Then Mr. Makina urged me, and I lowered my back to the edge of the bed.

"- What, the school director?

Mr. Makina sits right next to me.

When she lifted her hair with a trick that made her feel compelling, she broke her mouth.

"Oh? Where else do you want me to sit?

"That's right..."

An old bed raised a modest chirp.

…………

On second thought, the school director and I are alone in a private room...

As soon as I became aware of the current situation, I suddenly began to have feelings.

In the first place, why are you alone with me...?

And - I thought Mr. Machina's white hand was stretching out, and that hand gently touched my cheek.

"but school, chief......?

"You're starting to look pretty good."

"... okay, look?

"Yes."

"Faces and nothing, me, it's only the third day I've been here..."

"No, I feel a lot calmer."

…………

Are you settling in?

When the school director let go of his hand, he sat back in bed.

"You, remember yourself when you first came to this world?

"... Yes, for once"

Oh, well.

That's what we're talking about, so she moved upstairs?

The only person who knows that Sora Kurohiko is an otherworlder, except me, is the school director so far.

I mean, I guess Mr. Makina still doesn't think she should let Mr. Mia know that I'm from another world.

Sure, even if I let Mia know now, I just feel confused.

Or maybe that's also my care for Mia as the school director.

The school director keeps talking as he rubs his shoes toes together.

"Ever since you came to our world... you've been trying to force yourself to behave brightly, haven't you?

"Impossible, bright...?

"Yep. I heard later about being flown from another world... somehow I felt that way"

…………

"Was it to excite me, ostensibly, oh and I was willing as a fool... but inside, I guess I was pretty anxious?

…………

Anxiety, was it?

"Honestly, there are still half-hearted stories about you being a different person. It's just... if you've been flown into a world you don't know about, isn't it usually something you're anxious about and can't help it?

…………

"Actually, wasn't it terribly confusing? So you had managed to uplift your feelings yourself in order not to be crushed by that confusion and anxiety... conscious or unconscious, though I don't know"

"I..."

I wonder how that went?

I'd feel that way if you asked me... but I also feel like I originally had that personality.

Maybe it's a weird story that you don't know yourself.

"Anyway, I'm grateful to Mr. Makina. Well... I hope I can repay you something."

"Hmm, don't you repay me?

"Yes."

"Hey, Crohiko"

All of a sudden, Mr. Makina leaned his torso this way.

"... hey, what is it?

"If you want to repay me."

"Yes."

"Will you listen to my stupidity from now on?

"... Yes?

"It's hoarding."

"Huh."

Returning vague words, the school director has sparked a glance.

"That's a thoughtless reply... what do you think?

"Wow, I get it! Let me know."

"Nice."

Then I hooked up with the schoolmaster's stupidity.

The content of the stupidity was primarily addressed to the greats who brought them in during the surgical class.

…………

The school director seems to have a lot going on.

Stupidity continues.

I'm like, "Hmm," "I see." "Hmm." "Eh!," he hammered.

but after a while, it seems that today's fatigue has hit me more and more, and I begin to feel my consciousness gradually wander away.

It's not good...

We need to concentrate...

Excuse me.

Well, let's talk about it.

Open your eyes.

What did you see in your eyes... cloth?

Clothes?

Huh?

Beneath my ears, it's softer.

Is that it?

Somebody stroke my head...?

Hmm?

You know, head... it's on top of something...?

"Oh, you look awake, huh?

Hmm?

Move your head, which was lying on your back, and lie on your back.

Then,

Directly above, there was the face of the school director looking down at me.

"Stay, Mr. Makina!?

So, finally, I understand the location.

I see.

Was it right around Mr. Makina's lower abdomen when I woke up?

And now...

The school director's, on his knee pillow.

"Wow, sorry!... Why am I like this -"

The school director put his hand on his mouth and chuckled.

"Sorry, I forgot you were tired. If you keep making me listen to boring stupidity, then you're going to get sleepy."

"Oh, no."

"What do we do? If you want, can we stay like this a little longer?

"… No, I have."

That's how I woke up and I sat back next to the dean.

Apparently, in position, I lost consciousness, diving straight out of my face into Mr. Makina's lap.

... me, for God's sake.

"Excuse me, I'm on my way..."

"Fine, nothing."

"How long have you been asleep?

"Maybe half an hour."

"Really..."

Huh.

What are you doing, me?

but

"Heh, I don't care."

And the school director slapped me on the shoulder, and he said so.

"I'm refreshed too... I don't have to worry weirdly that the listener is you, so it's easy."

It was kind of a sunny face.

but soon,

"... let me tell you something, no need to say anything else?

And I've stabbed the nail.

I laughed.

"Okay."

I said.

"But... for falling asleep on my knees, though I don't seem to feel very grateful"

"... I abandoned my troubles when I first came here and was reborn."

"Hmm."

The school director picked the collar of his clothes and pulled it off.

So, keep going forward.

"Even this?

With that angle, the schoolmaster's chest peeked a little...

"- What, what are you doing!?

I meditate my eyes, and I pull myself back in a hurry.

…………

Gleefully, open your eyelids.

"What the... there isn't, I'm worried"

There was a schoolmaster with a pranky grin.

"Or give me a break..."

Born as a man, it may not be possible at all to abandon the troubles...

"Well, and"

The school director stood up.

"It's time to go back. Rest after that."

"... Yes"

... Um, was the last play necessary?

"What?

"No, it's nothing"

To drop you off, I'll lift my hips too.

"... Oh, and, you know, about the other curses -"

Mr. Makina turned around and looked up at me.

"As for the other curses, we're going to try to collect them again in the future. Including investigating unknown spell documents."

"In some cases, do people own the spell document without knowing it's a curse ban?

"Yeah, there must be. Plus...... it's not decided that there's only one spell document at a time, so you won't have to stick to the four things you know. Around there, I plan to investigate."

"Is it hard, after all, to find out where you are?

"Well, it's not like the Empire and Louvel Argan don't have a twat, so I'll try to negotiate as much as I can."

…………

"The school director has been obsessed with the curse for a long time."

Mr. Makina made a shoe noise and approached me one step closer.

"That's right. For me, it was an unexpected pick up"

"Really?"

"Crohiko."

The dean took my hand.

"I want to continue to be a good partner with you."

"... so am I."

Mr. Makina's deep red eyes capture my eyes.
