Chapter 9 – The Junior Is Too Close
Time passed,
Following yesterday,
Today’s tutoring time is back.
“Senior, I study today… Will you help?”
“Yes!”
It seemed that my juniors didn’t want to be in my tutoring, probably because I harassed them by touching their bodies yesterday.
But I pretended to be ignorant as best I could and ignored the wish.
I hate it to the point that just touching it makes me flinch.
Do you think I will miss this opportunity-? Because only the thought was filled in my mind.
It was a reward for making a delicious dinner today, and I wanted to make up for what I lacked as a maid by helping me study.
“Ha…”
The junior sighed like that.
No matter how much it is, the fact that I hate it so much is,
It’s a little hurt.
Even though I made a mistake first, I felt resentment, so I decided to return it with more of the amount I was hurt.
Bad guy. Don’t you know that it’s worse to give you anticipation that you might not hate it because you didn’t say it honestly?
As I was staring at my study desk and thinking about how to do today’s tutoring, a brilliant idea came to me.
And right away, I sat next to my junior.
“Senior, would you like to sit on this side?”
My junior said that and went to the other side, but I followed without saying a word.
When I sat down next to me, my junior took a look at me blankly, pretended not to understand and went back to his original seat.
I followed my junior and sat next to him again.
While thinking that the expression of the junior who was almost astonished was funny,
I said
“I think I can teach you better if I sit next to you.”
“…”
Of course, it was a blatant lie.
My purpose was only to bully my juniors.
Today too, hehe, fingers or the back of the hand, forearms… Even,
I was thinking of observing my junior’s insect-bitten expression while touching it as much as I wanted, pretending it was a mistake.
If you move a little wrong, your legs are close enough to collide, and if you just turn your head, each other’s faces are in front of your nose,
Today’s tutoring has begun.
“Today’s class, was there anything difficult?”
“… There was.”
“Uh? Is it so?”
As I said yesterday, my juniors are terribly smart,
Even though the education at the academy is difficult, I thought that there was nothing in the classes at the beginning of admission that juniors would find it difficult, but I don’t know what happened.
“I fell asleep for a while and couldn’t listen to half of it, so I didn’t know at all.”
“Are you sleeping?”
“I never fell asleep during class. Especially today. Hmm. I’m tired…”
It seemed to be true when he said that he never fell asleep in class.
I asked carefully.
“Why today… ?”
“…”
My juniors didn’t answer, just stared at me.
As if I have a reason for it.
I immediately recognized the meaning of those eyes.
Ah. Because of what I did yesterday?
Did you hate it so much that you couldn’t sleep?
I inadvertently apologized.
“Sorry… ?”
“I just need to know.”
After apologizing, I suddenly thought that I must have been a little too much.
Obsessed with the obstinacy of a commoner girl who has no corner to like, and touched her body,
It’s not the same as being raped.
Of course, I can do whatever my juniors don’t like, but…
Anyway, isn’t it a bit of a sex crime? I also feel like wanting to.
Also, if I was that tired, there might be an unfortunate incident where my juniors couldn’t prepare breakfast again.
I was embarrassed and ashamed, so I moved the seat that was very close to me a little apart, and the juniors who watched it became complicated and subtle faces.
“Go, study. I have to.”
“Hmm.”
“Tell me what you don’t know.”
I was so embarrassed that I almost bit my tongue,
I managed to turn the flow of the conversation to the class.
As expected, the juniors were very good at studying.
If you just focus.
The proof was that I completely understood the part that I couldn’t keep up with the progress because I was sleepy today after just a few dozen minutes of explanation.
In the meantime, I’m desperately pretending I’m not,
Did you sit next to me for no reason, didn’t know the topic again, and was excited all alone… What should I do, go back to the other side? No. That would be too awkward again, I regretted it over a hundred times.
He said he wanted to bully him, he said he wanted to make it harder. If you’re only going to flinch this much, don’t even start in the first place.
My will, which is extinguished whenever the wind blows, is so shabby and pathetic,
I got a little weird expression.
The junior looked at my face and seemed to sense that something was wrong.
I couldn’t say that I was thinking this, so I said something.
“Come to think of it, what did you decide to listen to in education?”
At the academy, the major, juniors who are still in the first semester of the first year may not have decided on a major,
Anyway, as there were major subjects, there were also liberal arts classes.
There were so many types as there were many students and professors, and since it was liberal arts, it was free to choose, but some first-year students took several courses in advance to choose their major in the second semester.
I asked because I was curious that the liberal arts class would start from the 6th week of the semester, so from now on, next week, with the intention of asking students not to get confused and get used to the new school year first…
“Introduction to alchemy.”
“Ah?”
The subject that came out of my junior’s mouth was a little unexpected.
The common belief among students at the academy about alchemy is that lead is made of gold or zinc is made of silver in a quaint and messy place, and it was not a very popular subject.
I couldn’t imagine a junior who was this sturdy, yes, and looks cool, trying alchemy, so I laughed a little.
Tok, ah. Hands collided.
As soon as I heard the word alchemy, I must have leaned towards it.
I continued the conversation while being careful not to touch the body of my junior as much as possible.
“Me too!”
When it comes to alchemy, yes, I have a lot of interest and interest. Because I took that major as well…
I couldn’t stop myself from getting excited with the voice.
I’m not bragging, but my achievements in alchemy were pretty good.
Thanks to that, there was no need for an introductory lecture on alchemy for beginners,
Somehow, somehow, I liked the alchemy professor, and I wish I could come to see him give a lecture… After hearing what he said, I chose Introduction to Alchemy as a liberal arts course.
I’m also the type of person who doesn’t refuse well when asked, and it’s the first time I’ve seen a professor who’s known for being so picky say please, please.
I suddenly remembered that at that time, the academy students in the professor’s lab looked at me pitifully, as if they were looking at a rabbit on the verge of being caught in a trap.
My feet are ruined too. There was a senior who said, “I already graduated from the academy and went under the alchemy professor.
What was it that?
“… ?”
Ah. Also. Hand.
I patted the tip of my pinky finger.
What. I’m sure you sat down earlier, but why did you come closer again?
I was a bit dubious, but
Anyway, it didn’t matter now.
“What a coincidence!”
“… That’s right. Accident. I learned the same culture as my seniors.”
The junior suddenly laughed lightly.
I shrugged my shoulders involuntarily at the gaze of my junior who seemed to be looking at a trustworthy senior.
“I know alchemy quite well, so if I don’t know something, I have to ask?”
“Sure.”
“This is a tip, professors like students who ask questions. He always scolds me saying, ‘Don’t you know that?’ If you want easy grades, ask questions… Wow.”
“Huh? Why are you like that?”
“Oh, no. Hand.”
“Is it my hand?”
My juniors raised both hands at my words.
Uh, I touched my finger, obviously.
But I didn’t feel any hints from my juniors.
I guess it’s my misunderstanding. Or maybe he overreacted to the presence of a bug. I couldn’t help but think that way.
“Come to think of it. I’m curious about your achievements in alchemy. She’s also a pension undergraduate.”
“Ah?”
In response to my junior’s question, I neatly forgot all the bugs in my head and huhu. I laughed heartily.
“Whoop whoop… I wonder?”
“Yes.”
The only item that I am proud of myself, who has no self-esteem, is
It was the achievement of alchemy.
It’s embarrassing to say this, but at the same time, I was itching to brag about it to anyone.
Because I had no one to talk to, the pride I hadn’t had before piled up in my heart.
The words of my junior who reached me like that just happened to be like a trigger…
“I’m, uhm, a little embarrassed to say it myself, but I’m pretty good at it. Ah. This happened right after entering the academy, though.”
“Senior, your eyes are twinkling.”
“You know that alchemy and pharmacy are closely related, right? Somehow, I invented something strange. Hey, it’s a drug that makes you fall in love…”
“A drug that makes you fall in love?”
My juniors wrinkled their impressions at that point.
Did I say something wrong?
Or maybe it’s hard to listen to my boasts.
But I was so happy that I had someone who would listen to these stories, so I couldn’t control my mouth.
“Yes. A drug that makes you fall in love. It literally makes you fall in love.”
“Did you need someone to write something like that?”
“No, no! I’ve never used it in earnest except for clinical trials. It’s a crime, it’s a crime…”
“Who did you want to write to?”
The eyes of the juniors became terrifying.
Why, why are you angry
If I don’t tell the truth, I’m afraid I’ll be offended right away, so I told the truth.
“Too many. I don’t know anymore.”
More precisely, I wanted to write it to everyone in the world beyond the surroundings, regardless of gender or age.
I gave up after realizing that it was physically and realistically impossible.
Soaked in a bit of nostalgia,
I didn’t notice that the junior’s eyes had changed.
“Crime is like that, but medicine has some, insurmountable limits… I don’t even make it anymore. Although the mold is alchemy borrowed from pharmacy, it requires the magical treatment of a tolerable professor-level wizard, so I can’t make it by myself. I also discarded the recipe and shredded what I had. It’s already been a year.”
“Hmm.”
“It seems like I only talked about myself, so while studying, uhm, I’m sorry…”
“No. Nice to hear. There were parts I didn’t like.”
“Hey, that, by the way. Master.”
“Yes.”
“… Aren’t you too close… ?”
My junior said,
What? And smiled innocently.
