[60] Shiina under the moonlight (3)
“Aha! You were an educator. Nice to meet you. I am Cosine Silver of the 4th rank of nobility. My father is serving as the secretary of Creas. It’s a presumptuous remark, but it was love at first sight. If you give me the good fortune to take you home, I will know it as an infinite honor.”
Shiina twisted her upper body. But instead of looking at Silver, he supported his forehead with both hands and sighed.
‘Haa annoying. I wanted to get drunk today.’
It seems that only bad things happen today. After showing a weak side to the disciples and being ignored by Keira, aren’t they now clinging to strange men?
A bitter smile formed on Shiina’s lips at that thought. Perhaps it is the appearance of a woman who has just lost her own self-confidence.
‘Whoops. Still, there are people who like me. A woman like me who has an outrageous personality and has no compassion.’
I’ve never felt love for anyone. Even when Armin showed up with Keira three years ago, he didn’t feel betrayed. But there seemed to be some hope. That feeling of what it would be like if we met again. But can it really be called love?
“You made my introduction too grandiose. sorry for this I guess I had a strong desire to look good because I met a woman I never wanted to miss. Please forgive me if it was rude.”
“are you okay. I’m tired, so please stop.”
Shiina was really tired. Of course, with the mental strength of a certified 6th-class wizard, sobering up wasn’t difficult, but the unrealistic drowsiness of alcohol was still necessary.
“Leaving a woman alone is not chivalry. I’ll take you in a carriage. Lean on me.”
When Silver grabbed Shiina by the shoulders and took a posture to support her, Sirone and the others immediately rebelled.
“What are you doing? Don’t touch the teacher carelessly.”
“I think there is some misunderstanding, but I am going to take you there. It’s nothing for the kids to get involved in, so you guys should stop going back. You just have to ride a carriage.”
Silver tried to support Shiina with a fight. Then Sirone grabbed his wrist. The face of Silver, who was a good sheep in front of Shiina, was distorted in an instant. Being ignored by a woman is tolerable for a certain purpose. However, his pride did not allow him to be treated like this by a child.
“Hey cheeky little boy. Where did you learn this kind of haircut? Let go of this hand when you say good things.”
“The teacher says you don’t like it. please stop Because the teacher will be served by us.”
“Young bastard’s children are peeling their feet. Looking at it earlier, you guys were the ones who drank. where are you guys at school Do you want to get all expelled?”
Sirone’s expression turned cold. The reason why he dared to bring up the school was to pressure Shiina. This is because if a teacher makes an accident in a place like this, it will go up in gossip.
Iruki said.
“After all, that means you’ve been looking this way since a while ago. Then I don’t think it’s even more your business to intervene? And if I have to tell you one more thing, the teacher here is not someone a human like you would flirt with.”
“you? Did you just call me you?”
“Then what do you call yourself? Should I call you a pervert?”
“Such a foolish bastard!”
Silver changed his drunkenness into anger and grabbed Iruki by the collar. But immediately, his side tingled and his hands lost strength. Silver frowned, grabbed his stomach and stepped back.
“Ouch! what?”
Nade was generating electricity in the palm of his hand.
“go away. I’m going to burn your lower leg next time.”
A Honam-type man who was waiting to use force if necessary came up behind Silver with a serious expression on his face.
“Hey, those guys are magic school students.”
“Magic school? Alpheas Magic School?”
Silver’s expression wasn’t good either. The magic school was different from the schools that ordinary aristocrats attended. Furthermore, Alpheas Magic School was one of the 5 most prestigious schools in the kingdom, where only the best nobles from across the country flocked to it.
As Silver rolled his eyes and concentrated on grasping the situation, Iruki snorted and approached him.
“You’re saying you’re going to expel us?”
“No, that’s…”
“I’m Mercodyne Iruki. If you can expel me, do whatever you want.”
“Me Mercodyne?”
It felt like all the alcohol I drank was broken. Even if Creas was a provincial city, there was no one among the nobles of the kingdom of Tormia who did not know the surname of Mercodain.
Not only was it the first rank of the nobility, but it was also the most educated family that had not been deprived of the head of the ‘Yongroe’, the king’s advisory body, for hundreds of years.
As Silver’s pupils trembled rapidly, Iruki made a displeased expression as if he knew that. Wherever you go, there are so-called ‘family’ aristocrats. Even so, the reason he threatened Silver in a hateful way was to protect Shiina. I knew that he was a guy who didn’t even have a pulpit to play tricks on, but he cut off all of them because he could use his weakness as a teacher to harm him. Of course, it didn’t seem that she, a member of the Olifer school, would be shaken by something like this.
“Let’s go, Silver. Hey Silver!”
A Honam-type man pulled Silver’s arm. Silver also thanked his friend for saving face and ran away. Even after they disappeared, Sirone and the others couldn’t calm down their anger. Seeing how openly they played tricks on Shiina, it was clear that they didn’t care. It would have looked even more ridiculous because of its small size.
“The water here is very bad. After all, you don’t know just by looking at the sign. Let us never come again.”
“okay. anyway let’s get out Because I am also dark.”
“teacher. Are you okay?”
“hmm. are you okay. Let’s stop.”
Shiina, supported by Nade, struggled to get up. The sudden gnarled flies annoyed her too, but not in a bad mood. What is there to be afraid of when the disciples are reassuringly protecting them? Even a certified 6th grade wizard was just a woman who was accustomed to being escorted outside according to the laws of the nobility.
Suddenly, the disciples looked cute. Shiina, who happily paid for the dinner, staggered out the door.
The moon was floating in the sky.
As the moonlight poured down from the cloudless sky, Shiina let out a moan filled with joy.
Strangely, I felt good. Maybe it’s because of the alcohol, but maybe it’s a new leap today. It occurred to me that for the first time I would be able to live my life out of the shadow of Armin. Maybe it’s because of the alcohol…
“Ah, I feel good. I feel so good today.”
Shiina looked up at the moon like a girl and spun around. Sirone and the others who had just left the store opened their mouths in a daze.
Did the alcohol melt her frozen heart for a moment?
With her purple hair undone, she was beautiful under the moonlight. It was also fun to see the trench coat spreading out like an umbrella and spinning around. People wandering the streets at night turned their attention to her, but no one clicked their tongues or raised their eyebrows.
That’s why Shiina’s appearance was lovely.
Sirone and the others didn’t want to stop it either. Rather, I watched with interest the drunken appearance that I could not normally see.
“Your teacher was like that. Are you sure about this?”
“Didn’t you just catch the scoop on us?”
Iruki’s eyes widened and he was lost in thought.
“Hmm. You mean it could be used as a weapon? A weapon that can prevent the dissolution of the Research Society.”
“I think it can be done if you put it together properly. Shiina-sensei isn’t the type to perjure. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to recall the memories yourself?”
While Nade and Iruki were plotting, Shirone pointed at Shiina and shouted.
“hey! over there!”
Shiina’s footsteps, circling the same spot, were twisted. Like a top that has lost rotational power, it was poised to collapse sooner or later.
“catch!”
It would be a waste to fall down in front of people. Sirone supported her back, and Nade and Iruki held her arms on both sides.
“Take care, sir. The teacher needs to be fine so we can go to school.”
“Ugh. I’m dizzy.”
Shiina staggered with a ruler. Would you be sane after emptying a bottle of cognac in an hour and spinning around dozens of times? It was like drinking punishment, not alcohol.
“Hey hey! I can’t. Sirone, carry me on your back.”
“What? why me?”
“But you are the strongest among us.”
Sirone sighed. It is a situation where three 18-year-old boys are gathered, but all of them are unable to sleep and eat, so their physical strength is lower than their peers because they are concentrating on magic training.
At least Sirone had a track record of climbing mountains and trees since she was a child, so she was more muscular than her friends.
“I can’t. Then, put the teacher on my back.”
“Don’t be so hateful. Do you think opportunities to raise teachers will be common? I would rather die of envy.”
Nade’s expression didn’t look envious at all. Rather, he was smirking with a look of relief.
“Sheesh. If you can’t speak.”
With Shiina on her back, Shirone moved on. After leaving the nobility area, the number of people decreased noticeably. Leisure activities were just a luxury for commoners who earned every day.
“But Shiina-sensei is surprisingly small. When I put it on my back, it looks very small. Normally, I thought you were about the same height as me.”
“It must be a psychological problem. The original teachers look big.”
“is it? But it’s surprisingly heavy again. It gets harder and harder.”
Iruki nodded and smiled.
“Quack. I’m a human, but I’m not heavy, right? All women are made up of bones, muscles and flesh. You didn’t think it was as light as a feather, did you?”
I didn’t think so, but I vaguely expected it to be light. However, it was impossible to find out that he had never even held a woman’s hand, let alone carried her on his back.
“no! I know that much. But this is really hard. I don’t think I’ll be able to go to school.”
“If you can’t go, we can’t go either. Just bear with it and walk.”
“Can’t I use magic? You can float it with air magic.”
“Anyway, even though I’m a teacher, that’s kind of…”
When I thought about it, the appearance seemed strange. In the end, Sirone, who was forced to act as a palanquin, grumbled at the thought of being unfair.
“There are three men, but what’s wrong with not having one woman? At times like this, I envy Lian. If it was Rian, he would be able to carry me on his back with Shiina-sensei on his back. I would rather have learned the schema.”
Nade and Iruki remained silent. To be honest, it was a situation where I felt embarrassed because I couldn’t carry a slender woman on my back.
But really, women were heavier creatures than I thought, and they only knew books, so they didn’t have this much physical strength.
“What can I do? The only exercise I could do was breathe. I have confidence in using my brain.”
Iruki snapped his fingers.
“Then you can use your hair. You’re learning the schema right now. How is Sirone? can you do it?”
“Does that make sense? What to do with the schema all of a sudden?”
“You can try. In my case, I also did Spirit Zone at one time. Couldn’t you guys?”
said Nade.
“No, I did succeed at one time. It worked right away after I got the hang of it and started it. Sirone, how are you?”
Shirone, who had been struggling with Shiina’s weight, raised her head.
“huh? Oh, I did it at one time too. In fact, I didn’t even know it was a spirit zone at the time.”
Can you enter the Spirit Zone without even knowing it? Iruki, who thought that was just like Shirone, giggled.
“It is peculiar. Anyway, so I’m going to try it right now. Aren’t the basic principles the same?”
Listening to it, Iruki’s words seemed plausible. Of course, there is such a thing as aptitude, but it wasn’t like taking on a challenge.
“Is that so? Do you really want to try it? In fact, my arms are so sore that I’m about to die.”
