Chapter 131 – 21. Jeong Ye-Won (3)
After the morning lecture, I went to the principal’s office.
There are things I want to tell you about my schedule in advance, and if I miss two days a week, the amount of time to receive instruction will decrease, so I thought it would be better to set aside time to receive guidance.
The quiet atmosphere given by the neatly arranged furniture is so good, it feels like I should have a cup of tea rather than come to practice.
As I entered, Sanya, who was sitting in an antique chair, got up to greet me.
“Welcome. Have you had lunch?”
“Yes, I just went to eat with Ha-yul. Are you buying it?”
“What am I… I just stuffed it with bread. I’m busy taking care of a lot of backlogs in the meantime.”
“No matter how fast you recover, you have to eat and live. What if you collapse again?”
“Foot, how can Jihoo-kun never change his face color even when he jokes like that? He’s a complete player, player.”
Sanya rummaged through the cupboards and brought out an extra teacup.
With skillful hands, she tipped the teapot, poured steaming black tea into a cup, and handed it to me along with the saucer.
As you sip a sip, the subtle aroma unique to black tea gently lingers in your mouth.
It was a high-end item that nodded naturally.
“So, why did our Jihoo-kun ask to see you so early? Do you have something to talk to? Or, do you want to have sex with the principal after a long time? Do you want to go inside?”
“Uh… It’s not like that. I was wondering if I could adjust my schedule a bit just for this week. How about today and Wednesday…?”
Click.
Sanya set the teacup she was holding down on the table.
Red eyes narrowly raised, staring at me quietly.
“You’re already skipping class…?”
“Uh, no, that… As you know, I have a lot of complicated relationships with women, right? Just this week, what should I do, so this will never happen in the future…”
“I’m kidding. I worked hard last week, so it’s only tiring. Today and Wednesday… Let’s see. Well, on Wednesday, I have a separate schedule, so it’s not a day anyway. Today, in fact, besides looking after you, I’m behind on things. You don’t have to be so sorry.”
“You must be busy, but you must have been working harder to look after me… I feel more sorry for some reason.”
Sanya laughed at the daunted answer and patted my head.
Then, even though no one was around, he whispered in my ear so that no one could hear.
“Actually… Cyana’s fault is bigger. Do you remember the artifact that Cyana used last week? It’s an artifact that meticulously manages records of usage, usage, and number of times, so even if you get permission, if you use it recklessly, you might get caught. But as you know, Even though Shiana looks calm, isn’t she the type of person who doesn’t cover her eyes when she turns around?
After hearing that, for some reason, Sanya’s eyes widen. Do you feel like your dark circles have spread more thickly than usual?
After knowing her inside story, she even tries to feel respect for Sagna.
There must be a lot of work piled up besides what I just said, but I’m in a situation where I’m taking care of my training while somehow handling it…
“…All I can say is cheer up. I’ll buy some red ginseng tomorrow.”
“Red ginseng candy, not red ginseng.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve been craving it so much these days. I still forget one by one whenever I’m bored, but the other day I was worried about going to buy it because it ran out.”
Aha… After all, age is age…
No matter how high you put it, the difference between the appearance that only looks like someone in their mid-twenties and the being inside causes a huge gap…!
“By any chance… Do you like yanggaeng too?”
“Oh, Jihoo-kun, you have a great sense? How do you know I like yanggaeng? If you’re going to buy it, buy red bean yokan, okay?”
Oh my god
“Ho, do you like trot too…?”
“Um… You mean the song genre? I don’t listen to that much, why?”
Thank god…
Haven’t gone that far yet.
For a moment, I almost became very depressed, wondering if Sanya had crossed a river of no return…
“No, I think I haven’t had much opportunity to know your taste since I’ve been buying it until now. Then, when I come tomorrow, I’ll buy some snacks. Thank you for always taking care of me.”
“Um, what’s new? If you become the principal, you can’t manage the students. Oh, and meeting a girlfriend is good, but don’t overdo it. Tomorrow, although not as much as last week, we’ll continue our magic training. You may leave.”
“Then let’s go… Oh, can I ask you one more favor?”
The moment I was about to leave the door, the events of the morning passed through my mind.
If it was Sanya, it might be possible to find the whereabouts of Pira Prefecture.
It’s only been a day, so there’s no need to make a fuss already, but good is good.
“I have a friend in my class named Pirahyun, but he didn’t come to school today without contacting me. Everyone thinks it’s a family matter… But I don’t know, so if you have time, I’d appreciate it if you could look it up.”
“Yes, he seems to have been a girl too? First of all, I got it. If he’s absent without notification at a time like these days, it’s enough to be suspicious. I’ll pass this on to the Awoken who know. Don’t worry too much.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll go for real.”
I drank the tea that had cooled to lukewarm before I knew it and went out.
With only about 10 minutes left for lunch, I had to hurry up in order not to be late for the next lecture.
…But at the thought that I can rest today, the smile does not leave my lips.
Why is the human heart like this…
How can you feel so much satisfaction in something small and insignificant?
It was to the point of worrying that the threshold for happiness might have been too low lately.
“I wonder if it’s okay to like something like this…”
The sad life of modern people…
Praise to all those who come back tired after struggling with their work today and enjoy simple happiness.

“Let’s see… The address… Is this place?”
After seeing Ha-yul home, I unpacked my things in her room and went out again.
In this guy’s residential area, the houses are all the same, so even after looking at the address, you have to look around for a long time before you can finally find your destination.
Of course, some unique people intentionally paint the exterior differently or give it a unique point, such as adding a separate decoration, but honestly, I haven’t done it until now because it’s annoying.
“That’s right. Room 21, District 4.”
It’s a house with a pink mailbox…
It seems that the entrance is locked with a padlock, so it seems to be nothing more than decorative.
When I pressed the button next to the front door, I heard a faint noise from inside.
Soon after, the door creaked open and Yewon Jeong, with a flushed face, appeared.
“Oh, hello…! You’re a little early…?”
“I found the house faster than I thought. Originally, I thought it would take about 30 minutes. In fact, all the houses in this neighborhood are the same, right?”
“Ahaha, yes, that’s right…! Then, come inside… Rice cake, I’m preparing right now, so just wait in the living room…”
No, were you really making rice cakes?
Somehow, a savory smell came out of it…
As soon as I went inside, Ye-won, dressed in casual clothes, rushed to the living room.
If you’re preparing rice cakes, why are you going there?
I wanted to hold on and ask why, but I decided to wait quietly because I thought there was something wrong.
“Haam… When the hell are you coming out…”
I was bored and had nothing to do alone, so after 10 minutes of watching a TV program, I got bored, so I got up and strode toward the front room.
“Yewon-ssi, I heard you’re making rice cakes. Why are you in the living room after calling someone over? Aren’t you making rice cakes?”
As I knocked and asked, a grunting voice came from inside.
“Ki, wait…! One minute is all it takes! Oh, no, ten seconds…!”
What the hell are you preparing for, you’re taking so much time…
The moment I tried to open the door slightly, thinking it wouldn’t work, the tightly closed door burst open.
And what appeared in it was Jeong Ye-won, dressed in an unexpected outfit.
“…Mochi is something like this, isn’t it?”
“Ji, to make rice cakes with Jihoo…♡ This is also a rice cake, isn’t it…?”
In front of her, Ye-Won, who was dressed as a bunny girl, was standing in a huddled posture.
I’m going back really.
