I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

101. Hugs

I feel unfair.

They say curiosity kills the cat, but in the first place, it wasn’t just curiosity.

Two pairs of shoes at the front door? It could be.

Saints are also human, and they can have at least one friend during vacation when the curfew is gone.

The problem is that there was a clear sign of trying to hide it. Two pairs of shoes belong to me.

She is a saint who can bake cookies for believers, even if she has to spend her own money.

Nevertheless, she is the embodiment of frugality in maintaining one pair of her own shoes.

Her claim clearly contradicted her usual personality, and that was the end of reasonable doubt.

‘Could it be that the church has already sent someone?’

It was natural that it would lead to

.

According to the church’s future action plan that I heard from Cain, she plans to continue manipulating Russell in the future.

That means,

Now, it is no longer strange for a ‘denominational event’ to occur at any time.

Sure enough, I returned to the hot springs with a suspicious feeling.

A human silhouette was underwater and holding its breath.

So, the big hitter was arrested for a very reasonable reason.

First of all, he was a friend who was not on the list of candidates in my head.

Adela Cathy.

Why is he enjoying a midnight bath here?

I immediately raised my head and expressed my intention, ‘I didn’t see it for that purpose.’

We already knew.

That there is no turning back.

It was already shocking enough,

Her reaction was even more shocking.

“Let’s talk? Right here?”

“Yes.”

“Are you saying that we should just sit down and enjoy a hot spring bath together and chat? Did I mishear?”

“You heard correctly. I’m glad.”

The heroine who will clear the game with me is,

I hope he is not mentally ill.

Was this such a big greed?

How did he end up like this?

But, regardless of the head I raised upwards.

The voice that caught my ear was because it was the heroine of our family.

I couldn’t hit one.

Good. Sit down?

Well, it’s not difficult.

I adjusted my posture and went into the hot spring and sat down.

“Are you done now?”

“Hey, close your eyes for now.”

That’s right. The feeling of shame is not understated.

My eyes had already closed.

After confirming her identity, it hasn’t popped up even once.

Yes. She was just more embarrassed than necessary.

I was trying to cope with my overheated head, but an unfortunate malfunction occurred.

If you quietly close your eyes and wait here,

After cooling off, I’ll get dressed and leave.

What’s left for me to do is,

Just sharing the world’s most awkward morning greeting with Adela tomorrow.

I raised my head to the sky.

Not only did he close her eyes, he physically positioned her so that he couldn’t see her.

Now, settle things in peace.

I will make the remaining apology and explanation tomorrow.

“…Adela?”

“……Yes.”

“Well, I closed my eyes. Do your job.”

However, the water that touched my body was only calm.

I couldn’t feel any movement to leave.

For quite some time.

Why aren’t you going out?

Thinking like that,

A murmur similar to the sound of ants returned.

“…G-give me a little time.”

“What time do you mean?”

“Just a little… Calm down. I’ll talk.”

It’s a story.

He wasn’t trying to resolve the situation, but was calming down and preparing to have a chat.

It was shocking.

She was really determined.

This is not a situation that can be described as a new generation or that kids these days are more open-minded.

Even if I closed my eyes, this would never be the action a naked woman would take.

So, I became serious.

What’s really going on?

If there is anything you would like to consult with me about using this opportunity,

It cannot be ignored.

Both as an instructor and as a gamer.

Because she is both a student and a heroine.

So, I decided.

That’s what I focused on Scarlett. I decided to take this opportunity to provide mental care.

I thought at least he wouldn’t need that, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve never had a private conversation with you. We’ve only talked about future grades and deals.”

“…That’s right.”

Okay, let’s talk.

Having made that decision, it was not just her responsibility to ease her mood.

As if I were showing off,

By stretching your arms out to the sides and leaning back completely.

I assumed the perfect ‘hot spring bathing posture’.

Of course, keep your eyes fixed on the sky.

It was not something a noble would do with a commoner woman,

Let the reverberations of the statusist screaming within me die for a while.

“I don’t plan on having an event like this in the future, so let’s seize today and listen.”

“……”

“Anything is fine. Daily life, the future, or even current concerns. I’m an instructor, and I have a duty to listen.”

Using the best eloquence I could, I said, ‘Why are you doing that?’

She was silent for a moment, then spoke, her voice returning to its original tone.

“Yes, that’s right. Even if it’s just a coincidence, when will something like this happen again?”

“I agree. It’s something I will live to see for a long time.”

“…Aren’t you still too young to say something that makes you feel old?”

“Experience is not proportional to the number of years lived. This is true for everyone, but even if we spend the same year, we never live adequately.”

Ice breaking.

By sharing casual conversations, we turn this extraordinary into everyday life.

Mutual agreement between me and her.

It was an eccentricity that was possible because of such an unwritten rule.

“…Well, I don’t know what the instructor will think.”

“……”

“I have never lived a fulfilling life.”

“It’s a dull joke.”

I don’t know what kind of life the heroine has lived.

I skipped everything while playing the game.

However, just look at the basic profile.

The character of Adela Cathy has lived such a life that it can only be heard as a joke.

Scarlett was desperate,

Paula was miserable.

Adella is the character who has lived the most ‘hard-working’ life among them.

It would be difficult to disagree.

However, she seemed to have no intention of going back on her words.

“…It’s true.”

Voice lowered slightly.

Saddam slowly gets to the point.

“How to find out the value of an object.”

“……”

“How to read the other person’s mood. How to please them. How to deal with bargaining.”

The voice gets lower and lower,

It seemed like she was getting closer to her true feelings.

“I was an empty person filled with only those things.”

“It’s in the past tense.”

“…Yes.”

What it means to be that kind of person,

It’s like saying that it’s not right now.

It was a conversation packaged as Saddam, but the main point will come out someday.

It seems like it is slowly coming out.

“Instructor.”

“Yes.”

“Did you ever date when you were young?”

I’m sorry.

What is this question?

Love? Did you just say you were in a relationship?

I have no idea what the test taker intended.

Are you sure you really want to peel the nogari?

I thought there would be something serious, heavy, and painful about the past like Scarlett.

“I’m not religious, but I can swear to anyone. We’re the only ones here, and I won’t tell anyone about what I just heard.”

Suddenly the atmosphere became closer to that of the night of the school field trip.

But, it must mean something.

I thought.

Should I be the one to answer her questions? Or should I respond like Ivan?

The conclusion I came to is,

Either way, the answer was the same.

There’s no way he’s ever been in a relationship.

“Nothing.”

“…I see.”

“Yes. I lead a busy life, and I’m not interested in that type of relationship play.”

This is not a question of right and wrong answers.

Even if ‘there was’ was the correct answer, I can’t make up anything more than that and it has no meaning.

I don’t know what my answer means, but one thing is certain.

“I have it.”

Adela’s voice,

He said he was starting to tremble.

“For someone who lived a life without any reward or meaning, there was someone who gave me the most important thing in the world.”

“…Are you the person written in the diary?”

“Yes.”

Her diary that I unintentionally came across at the beginning of the semester.

At the time, I thought it was just something like this and moved on, but it didn’t seem like it was something that should be treated that way.

Adela Cathy.

The reason she entered the academy was because she wanted to prove herself with her skills.

She only went this far, she was the girl I knew.

“Are you still looking for that person?”

“…Yes. That’s right.”

It didn’t have to be just one reason.

No, maybe this is the real reason.

“The world would definitely recognize her talent. That’s why she came to the academy.”

“Is that friend a nobleman?”

“…Yes.”

I felt like a puzzle was being put together.

Adela came under my wing, of course, for a reason.

Perhaps the information power of the Kherson family was needed. If you are looking for someone, this is a completely understandable reason.

“Are you sure you’re in Russell?”

“Well, I don’t know anymore.”

Yes. It’s difficult to find people.

I recalled the contents of the diary.

Her friend was slightly older than her,

If she were at the academy, she would be a senior. If you play really well, you might become an instructor.

In fact, there is not much of an age difference between Russell’s senior students and the instructor.

The reason students treat instructors like strange creatures of another level also stems from that.

But, it’s all good.

I want to support the girl’s dream of finding a friend who is similar to her former lover.

“Adella. Those are cruel words, but…”

“…”

“Not now.”

Can we do that later?

This is a fact that not everyone, including you, knows, but the world will soon become very dangerous.

“Motivation is a good driving force. So, let me make a promise.”

“What kind of promise is this?”

“Graduation at the top of the class.”

When everything is over, I don’t even know if this world will survive.

What if, after the ending, even after I return to the original world, this world keeps rolling along?

“If you graduate from the academy at the top of your class, I will mobilize all the information on the Kherson family.”

You will find that person.

Because you will become one of the top contributors to the empire.

Without even going to the Kherson family, the imperial family will move to fulfill her wish.

You will think that it was so easy to search the entire empire and find one person.

“So, until then-“

“I understand.”

Even if I don’t have to drive a wedge,

She was able to understand on her own.

However, one drawback was added.

“But, I’m at my limit now.”

“…”

“I’m at least certain that I’ll wait.”

“What do you mean?”

“Please close your eyes. Can you never open them?”

Then, there was silence for a moment.

I also felt the water stirring slightly.

Are you trying to leave?

I thought so, but-

Good!

I was hit by a thunderbolt of water.

“……..”

“…Foot.”

The sound of uncontrollable laughter escapes my ears.

Okay, I will bear it.

I’ve come this far, so there’s no need to show a straight face.

A weak minded and physically weak female student in her prime can play with her teacher in the water.

I lifted my arm and checked my shirt.

The water soaking the clothes reflected in the moonlight revealed the bare skin hidden behind it.

“hahahaha, ahahahaha…”

A flawless and clear smile.

She was so upset that she barely shed a word, almost with tears in her eyes.

“It’s this easy…”

I couldn’t understand what that meant,

If you feel better, what do you think?

However, I didn’t want to waste any more time, so I slowly stood up.

I said it well, so it will be followed well.

He turned back and headed toward the front door and left a comment.

“See you tomorrow. I believe you won’t break your promise to work hard.”

“……”

“Adela?”

I paused for a moment because I didn’t get an answer,

I didn’t think about looking back.

I have no hobby of looking at other people’s mischievous behavior.

However, I felt eyes on me.

Silent gaze and sound of water.

I was able to notice Adela coming towards me with my back turned.

Width-

In an instant, a warm touch touched my entire body.

She hugged me.

My body stiffened,

All I could feel was Adela’s hand holding me and running down my back as if to sweep my back.

“…There is none.”

“Yes. It’s definitely not polite at all. What are you doing?”

It makes me look back.

When I glanced back to see if I was really crazy, what caught my eye was,

I can’t express what kind of expression it is,

It was her subtle gaze.

“It’s a hug of gratitude.”

She has a bright smile that you could probably say is the best she’s ever seen.

That thought occurred to me at that moment.

Now that Adela is mentally and physically weak, it could be overlooked that she is doing all sorts of things, but

Wait a minute, if I go crazy too.

‘…Probably not.’

As expected, it was difficult to go crazy with a sober mind.

I turned my head again.

My back was sore because of my wet shirt.

—

Squeak-

“Adela, aren’t you asleep?”

I feel utterly ashamed.

After barely hiding Adela’s very private appearance, it has been 30 minutes since she saw off her instructor.

I should have come to bring you clothes a long time ago, but I was so caught up in the snacks the instructor brought that I ate them so quickly that I forgot about them.

No matter how warm the hot spring is,

If you spend this much time outdoors wet, you may catch a cold.

So I hurriedly opened the door,

I couldn’t finish my sentence.

Knock. Knock…

Adela’s back view.

After tying her hair neatly, she sat quietly in the hot spring.

In the quiet backyard,

Only the irregular sound of water drops continued to echo.

Adela’s hair is,

Even when it’s not wet.

“…….”

I am not very smart.

You cannot be a quick-witted person.

But even putting all that aside.

I could tell it intuitively.

No water drips from her dry hair,

The sound of running water is not just the sound of water.

“Ugh, black…”

I quietly closed the door.

I will have to bring you the clothes later.

Would you like to have some warm tea served as well?
