Chapter 1094 – 1094. Magic School Shutra (7)
“Uh… ?”
“Huh… ?”
I woke up to the feeling of tossing and turning next to me.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the scene depicted in my eyes was Sonya’s puzzled expression.
Looking at Sonya’s expression, it looked like she had just woken up.
One minute to look at each other with those blurry eyes…
“Soo, student Suho… I’m sorry. “I was very mischievous yesterday, wasn’t I?”
Sonya stroked my face with a shocked expression and started apologizing again and again.
Sonya’s attitude made one thing clear.
‘I guess I didn’t mean it.’
I could tell that the violent side Sonya showed yesterday was an act.
However, she was not unconditionally optimistic.
‘There must have been a pinch of sincerity in it.’
I thought like that and calmed down Sonya, who was embarrassed.
“Haha, I actually had fun thanks to Professor Sonya?”
“… Hehe, thank you for saying that.”
After hearing my answer, Sonya lay down on my arm with a calm expression.
Sonya usually hugs me with her big breasts, showing off her older dignity.
But now, this moment was different.
The sight of Sonya lying with her head in my arms, she was just a woman who wanted to be embraced by me.
As she and Sonya exchanged glances and remained silent, dawn light began to stream outside her window.
As Sonya’s blue eyes mixed with orange, her mouth slowly opened.
“As expected, you are Suho’s student. I wanted to win somehow… In the end, I lost.”
Sonya grumbled in her mournful tone.
But I felt guilty seeing Sonya like that, and I opened her mouth to tell her truth.
“Yesterday’s bet…”
“I know, I lost.”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Shh! I lost, so don’t say anymore. “Don’t keep talking back and scratching my insides.”
“…”
Yesterday’s bet was actually Sonya’s win, and Sonya seemed well aware of that fact.
Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Sonya blocks me like that.
[She’s a good woman.]
‘… Yes.’
As Kang Han-na said, it was because Sonya was a good woman.
Sonya was sacrificing her own desires to filter out the residue of discomfort that remained within me.
Sonya, lying on my arm, hummed and continued her conversation.
“If a rumor spreads that Professor Shutra has become a student’s slave… “I’m probably going to get scolded by other professors.”
Haha…”
It was even more shocking that it ended with me getting scolded.
I thought that if the professors thought of her family as the most important thing, it could really end there.
And on the other hand, the rumored student will disappear without even a rat or a bird noticing.
As I was chatting lightly with Sonya, the morning sunlight suddenly covered the bedroom.
“Whoa… “There is no day like today when I don’t want to wake up.”
“Me too…”
But if you lie down like this, things will get worse.
It would be easy for the knife to go unnoticed, but if the maid or Ariel at work caught this scene…
As if my thoughts had reached Sonya’s head, she slowly raised her tone as she stroked my chest.
“Now, master. “It’s time to wake up.”
Haha…”
I couldn’t help but laugh because I didn’t expect such words to come out of Sonya’s mouth.
Sonya seemed to be satisfied with my laughter and continued the drama even after she got up from her bed.
“I will help you return to your master.”
“Oh, my clothes are mine…” .”
“Write! “Master, please stay still.”
Although he only included the word “Master” In his words, his tone was full of playfulness.
Sonya started putting my clothes on her naked.
Sonya asked in a serious voice as she adjusted her clothes after putting on all of my clothes.
“… “Didn’t you say something to me last night before you went to bed?”
“…”
I did it.
(Thank you for teaching us so much, Professor Sonya.)
He fell asleep as if he had fainted, but seemed to have woken up.
But since I couldn’t say that to Sonya, I smiled bitterly and avoided her answer.
“That is… It’s an embarrassing thing to say with a sober mind… Haha…”
“… That’s right.”
Sonya didn’t seem satisfied with my answer, but she didn’t press further.
.
.
Ariel and I were sent off by Sonya.
“Have fun and return home on time.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Professor Sonya!”
“Lower your voice…”
“Yes…”
Ariel and me, who unexpectedly stayed at Sonya’s house, were only able to leave after eating until breakfast.
Sonya seemed like she wanted to say something to me as she was leaving, but she never said it out loud.
So Ariel and I started walking down the road facing the morning sunlight.
It was definitely a date like yesterday.
But the atmosphere was different.
‘It’s different from when we met at the front gate.’
Until now, when I went on a date with Ariel, I always started at the front door.
However, today’s date felt like an extension of yesterday’s date rather than a new beginning.
It was like a real couple enjoying a date that included accommodations.
But because she wasn’t a real lover, Ariel looked even more awkward.
The person who broke the calm silence was none other than Ariel.
“That… Did I make a mistake yesterday… ?”
“Yes?”
I suddenly wondered what that noise was.
As I tilted my head, Ariel began pouring out her words as if making excuses.
“Uh, yesterday… I can’t remember anything after drinking… I was wondering if I had made a mistake…”
“Hmm… “In my memory, I can’t think of any mistake my senior made.”
“Phew…”
Ariel let out a soft sigh of relief.
“I’m sorry for saying something unnecessary. Earlier this morning, the housekeeper said something strange…”
“That sounds strange?”
“Uh… That is… Haha… You’re saying nonsense like I was whining about wanting to sleep with you…”
When I heard that, I smiled and answered.
“I did.”
“… Huh?”
Ariel looked shocked, as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer.
Seeing Ariel like that made me feel playful, so I continued talking.
“I put him down on the bed, and he suddenly held my hand and asked me to sleep with him.”
“My, my, me!?”
“Sir, the sound is too loud.”
“Ah…”
Ariel, who was already attracting attention thanks to her gorgeous dress, received even more attention because of her voice.
Ariel, who had come to her senses, blushed and spoke in a low voice.
“Ah, you said you didn’t make any mistakes earlier…”
“My senior said something like that, so how can I think it’s rude?”
“Uh… ?”
“Or maybe… Are you offended that you said that to me? ?”
“Oh, no! It’s not like that! Oh, I said something for no reason… Haha…”
Ariel laughed awkwardly for a while, and then she said no more.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward, but at the same time, it was the atmosphere I had hoped for.
‘Until a special situation arises, like the almost kissing situation yesterday, this kind of relationship would be good.’
A light atmosphere makes relationships familiar with each other.
However, when that familiarity settles in and embraces the heat, a bubble called boredom bubbles up inside.
Well, just because Ariel feels familiar to me doesn’t mean she’ll suddenly feel bored.
However, as she said to Kang Han-na yesterday, in order to plant romantic feelings that will last her life, the soil of awkwardness and discomfort must be sufficiently laid.
Only then can it grow into a tree strong enough not to be shaken by natural disasters.
Not only Kang Han-na, but most of the women I have met so far started out in relationships where a strong repulsive force was felt, as if they were being pushed together by magnets of the same pole.
And as I tried, and tried, and tried to get closer, resisting that repulsive force countless times, the moment something happened…
‘Even if it’s not today, a good situation will come sooner or later.’
That incident becomes an indelible memory for the rest of your life.
I thought so and spoke carefully to Ariel.
“I’m sorry for breaking the mood with such meaningless words. Without even knowing…”
“Oh, no, there’s no need to apologize… I don’t have one…”
“But I made a mistake and ruined the mood…”
I smiled bitterly at Ariel and barely opened my mouth.
“Can you give me a chance to make up for it?”
“Ah…”
Ariel sighed in relief at my words and smiled.
“Of course. And this is what happened… “I also have to work hard to make up for my mistakes.”
“Haha, then let’s go.”
“Yes!”
That’s how Ariel and I resumed our date that we stopped for a while yesterday.
***
The world is unequal.
Some people are born into the royal family and live their whole lives in comfort and luxury, while others are born on the streets and are abandoned and live their whole lives without knowing who their parents are.
Some people are born with God’s talent and become heroes of the world, while others are born without even a proper physical body and are treated as children of the devil.
But even in a world covered with inequality, there is only one thing that is equal.
It’s time.
Archmage, royalty, nobles, commoners, commoners… Everyone is given equal time.
However, there are moments when times that seem so equal do not feel equal.
And that feeling…
‘Uh… ? Wow, it’s already evening… ?’
Ariel was experiencing it now.
In the blink of an eye, the sun, which had just risen, had gone halfway across the sky and was setting.
And at the same time, Ariel and Seong Su-ho were heading to Shutra in a carriage together.
‘Ha, I don’t think it’s even been an hour…’
Ariel was guided by Seong Su-ho from the morning, and she stopped by several places.
A theater where you can watch performances, a performance hall where you can enjoy music, and even restaurants that you stop by along the way…
When Ariel arrived at the theater with Seongsu-ho, she sighed inwardly.
It was because she felt uncomfortable rather than disliked it.
Ariel has never been to a theater or performance hall in her life.
First, her father disliked such extravagant pastimes, and since Ariel resembled her father’s personality, she had no interest in it.
But the moment she saw the play for the first time at the theater… She had regrets she had never had in her life.
“Sir, how was the performance?”
“Ah! Well, it was really fun.”
The play was so much fun that it took Ariel out of her mind.
So, with the lingering memories of the play boiling over, she arrived at the next venue, the performance hall.
And she was shocked again.
“Wasn’t the concert earlier perfect?”
“Uh, uh! That too… It was fun.”
The concert was less immersive than a play with a story, but it was enough to shock Ariel.
‘I’m sorry to the palace musicians, but… Even as an ignorant person, the difference in skill level is very clear.’
For Ariel, today’s date was like a shocking event that overturned her cultural knowledge.
But the culture shock wasn’t the only reason why time passed so quickly.
“Time always passes quickly when I’m with my senior.”
“Ah…”
It was because she was with Seong Su-ho.
And the fact is…
“Me too… When I’m with you, time always seems to pass quickly.”
Ariel herself knew it well.
As they exchanged such meaningful conversations, she was able to arrive at Shutra School.
But even though they arrived together, Seong Su-ho…
“Sir, I really enjoyed today. Please go in first.”
As if it was natural, I tried to send Ariel first.
Ariel couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment at the sight of Seong Su-ho.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay if we just went in together?’
In fact, even if we went in together, there wasn’t much difference in the time we spent together.
It takes about 10 minutes at most to pass through the main gate and enter the dormitory.
‘More… I want to be with you… ‘
However, even for such a short time, Ariel felt her desire to be with Seong Su-ho.
But her wish…
“I hope we can go in together later.”
It faded away with Seong Su-ho’s greeting.
But she just died down, she wasn’t disappointed.
“And starting tomorrow, I’ll go to the student council room again… Please take care of me.”
“… Yes, Suho. I’ll see you tomorrow. “
Ariel said her goodbyes to Seong Su-ho and headed to her front door.
Thanks to Seongsu-ho’s greeting, Ariel was able to momentarily forget about her desire to be together and face reality.
‘Milena and Hanelone…’
Ironically, the reason Ariel became so close to Seong Su-ho was because she wanted to get Seong Su-ho away from the two of them.
However, rather than separating the two from Seong Su-ho, Ariel attached herself to Seong Su-ho.
She didn’t even want to admit it.
‘Whoa…’ How should I explain this to them…’
Ariel admits that she already likes Seong Su-ho, and she was just looking for a way to apologize to both of them.
The moment she approached the front door with that thought in mind…
“Chairman!?”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice was heard from across the front door.
Beyond the front door…
‘Louis… ?’
Lewis was running hurriedly.
Even though she walked around all day, she didn’t feel tired, but she felt so happy that time seemed to pass by.
But as soon as she saw Lewis…
‘Ha… Bothered…’
Hidden fatigue suddenly surged like a tidal wave, weighing down Ariel’s shoulders, and she experienced the elongation of time as if it had become infinite.
Ariel looked at her Luis running towards her so slowly…
‘No, wait…’
As her mind grew colder, she was able to think of a trick.
The trick is…
‘Lewis has someone he likes just like me… ? If she connects with that boy… You won’t bother me anymore, right?’
It was the perfect solution to her counseling.
Despite her immense fatigue, Ariel smiled as if she had found hope.
But her smile was short-lived.
‘For a moment… If she asked me, the student council president, for her advice… Are you saying it’s either Milena or Hanelone?’
Ariel received counseling from Luis, but since she wasn’t particularly interested, she didn’t even wonder who he liked.
‘Ha… No. There’s no way these two people would give up on Suho…’
While Ariel was worrying, Louis had arrived across from her front door.
Ariel took in her breath and made a promise as she looked at Louis who came running in a huff.
‘First, let’s find out who the other person is and resolve it quickly. If you leave it like this… Suho might treat me like a strange girl!’
