The Dark Academy Who Hated Her Juniors to Death 38

Chapter 38 – I Miss My Juniors

Because that happened last night,
Today’s junior didn’t look well.

Right after breakfast, I even stumbled for a while while cleaning the tableware.
What. But to the junior who was surprised by his own body, I asked like a thief with a thief.

“Yo, are you tired these days?”

Even I think, I didn’t have a conscience.
To the point where I have nothing to say even though I’m being labeled as a bitch with no conscience.
But I couldn’t help but ask.

The junior looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and told me not to worry.

“Iknow, right. Is it because you’ve been cutting too hard lately?”
“Knives?”
“Swordsmanship training. I am taking additional lessons because I am interested in it.”
“Ah.”
“Because I have to move my body a lot. I sweat a lot… Thanks to that, even if I sleep as if I’m dead, I don’t feel tired.”
“…”
“Especially yesterday, I had a strange dream.”
“What is this strange dream?”
“… No.”

The junior said that it was a mistake in itself to tell about the dream he had. I changed the subject.

“But it’s enough to wake up senior Eve. Ah. Come to think of it, you woke up first today. Kind.”
“Cha, what’s good about being nice…”

The truly kind thing was the junior who didn’t say a single word of rebuke to the stupid maid who splashed her with water from early in the morning.

To him like that, in fact, I couldn’t say that I didn’t wake up first, so I just stayed up all night.

Looking at my juniors who looked tired, I felt sorry all the time, but soon after, I was able to shake off the stabbing of my conscience.

Around the time I finished washing the dishes, a junior who had washed and changed into a school uniform,
It’s because he appeared in a healthy image full of energy as usual.

The tired look I had just a moment ago was just as if I had just woken up less.

What, what that stamina.

“Woah, I’m always so healthy… ?”
“Yes? What is that tired? It’s also family history.”
“…”
“Furthermore.”
“Furthermore?”
“I have to work harder. Professor… To catch up with you guys.”
“Ta, catch up?”

That was absurd.
To come out of the mouth of a freshman who just entered the academy.

Whether it’s swordsmanship or magic, the academy’s professors were made up of only a handful of geniuses in the entire continent.

Except for my older brother and the alchemy professor, most of them have a lot of experience, so
The time of my life has been different, so if those words came out of the mouth of another academy student, I would have laughed so hard, as if I was just bluffing.

But for some reason my junior said so,
There is a feeling that something can be, no, it will be.

And,
While I’m thinking for a moment,
The junior talked behind his back.

“Because I want to become a better man for Eve-senpai.”
“…”

I know that words like that are meant to score points on the listener.
The intention itself was so obvious, it just made my limbs tingle.

Ha, but
As if the absurd words of catching up with professors sounded plausible because they came out of the mouth of a junior,
All of a sudden, when my juniors say that, there are things that sound very, very cool, rather than cheesy.

While I was changing clothes for school after washing the dishes, I saw myself in the mirror,
I noticed that my face was turning red.

“…”

And aside from that,
I hated that proud junior to death once again.

How can you say that so confidently?
The words that I will change for the sake of others, I cannot even put it in my heart, let alone say it in words.
It’s the kind of thing that’s so shiny and hot, so shiny and noble, that it’s sure to melt away if you treat it carelessly.

A junior like me who casually says things that I can’t or shouldn’t deal with,
It was something I couldn’t help but hate.

Thanks, I’m a bit miserable.

“…”

While I was doing that, a rustling sound came from the front door, as if my junior had finished getting ready to leave.
And he spoke to me in the room.

“Sir, I will go first.”
“Now, wait, wait a minute.”

I was so in a hurry that I couldn’t even fasten the buttons on my blouse properly and ran out of the room.
The junior who watched the fuss came looking at me with a face wondering why I was like this.

I, I, said hastily.

“Bye. Because I have to.”
“Ah.”

I’m embarrassed.
I feel ashamed to die.
Ha, but you have to do it.
That’s what you taught me

I said hello and said.

“Everyone, come on…”
“…”
“… ?”
“… Where are you looking?”

Oh,
Ah,
Unknowingly, unconsciously, to Mr. West. Oh…

I raised my head, which had been lowered, and greeted again while looking at the junior’s face.

“Ah, ah, everything, let’s go, yo…”

The junior then smiled with satisfaction,
He stroked my hair and went outside.

“I’ll be back.”

…
…
…

The last lecture of the day was magic.

Immediately after the lecture,
I requested an interview with Professor Diaren.
The professor readily agreed, so I got to talk in his lab.

“Are you hungry already? You seemed to be holding up well last time.”
“No, I’m looking for something else today.”
“… That’s another big deal.”

Professor,
It was a face that did not understand that he came to me for something other than medicine.

“I’m asking just in case, have you developed a deeper interest in magic?”
“… That’s not it.”
“Okay. I know. There was no way the academy student who had been dozing off during the lecture earlier would show such enthusiasm. I was just asking.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I’m so tired today…”
“If the assignments you’ve been doing had been a little less perfect, you’d have been bitter. It’s a pity.”

Professor, so, what? And since Saddam is done, he urged me to get to the point.
I hesitated a little, then said it with a red face.

“I was wondering if there was something that could be used as a sleeping pill.”
“Sleeping pills? What sleeping pills?”
“…”
“If it’s just to put you to sleep, you’ll do better than I do. You can make it with that great alchemy.”
“That, that’s it.”
“There’s no way you wouldn’t know that, Miss Eve. But if you see that you have come to me, you must have wanted something magically treated?”
“That’s right. Because anything made with alchemy is bad for the body…”
“If you say it’s bad for your body, how bad is it? If taking a few pills of it would be a big deal, the pharmacy related to pension would have been buried right away. I would have made it.”
“Nevertheless.”
“… Seeing you take care of your health like that, are you trying to eat it yourself? Why? Hmm. Right. Well, your body is a little troubled.”
“…”

That’s not it

I also have the awareness that I’m trying to do something incredibly bad,
I couldn’t even force myself to take any medicine that was too much for my body.

As I twisted my body with a blushing face, the professor looked at me as if he was pitiful, and eventually took out an item from the shelf and gave it to me.

“I don’t think it’s intended for eating and drinking. I will give it to you.”

It was a small container with a spout that, when pressed, the liquid inside came out.
I didn’t expect to receive it so easily, so I looked at the professor with a round face.

“It’s something that can put an elephant to sleep in seconds. For someone like you, mixing just one drop is enough.”
“Thank you. Ah. The cost…”
“It’s okay. But don’t think they gave it away for free. Because everyone wants you to treat them well.”
“You want it?”
“What is the Magical Investigation Site?”
“… You know? I am talented.”
“There is a lot of talent. Just no sense ah. There’s something I’d like you to do for a new project coming up soon. How is it?”

The professor sometimes asked me unreasonable favors like this.
I am interested in magic science itself, but I was unable to use magic.

Of course, there were people in the world who became great composers who would go down in history even if they lost their hearing, but at least I wasn’t such a great genius.

Maybe my complexion looked dark, but the professor didn’t recommend me more.

“… Joy. That’s it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s real. Come and get your medicine on time. I’m tired of your brother going wild.”

Medicine, medicine
The topic that started coming up a while ago bothered me from the deepest part of my heart, and I,
I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I hesitated and replied.

“I will never come to get medicine… Will.”
“What?”

Immediately after that,
I was overcome with the illusion that the ambient temperature had gone down a notch.
With a face of almost bewilderment, the professor, who eventually had a more nervous impression, spoke to me harshly.

“Did you finally decide to die?”
“…”
“… Well that would be nice because it’s your heart But in order to do so, there are two things I have to promise you.”
“What, what is it?”
“Find a way to stop your brother from fucking with me, and sign the pledge to donate the transfer of magical organs after death.”
“I understand the front, but what about the back?”
“Why why? Shouldn’t we let the young students of magic know that a living person’s magic organ can be fucked like that?”
“…”

When I pouted, the professor gestured at me with a wave of his hand, asking me to go away.

Heh, heh, no matter how much, there’s nothing to say like that.
I’m a sullen kid whose hair turns white when I hear criticism, so I know Professor Diaren is a good person, contrary to what he says and his impression, but I still get angry.

It’s okay, I’m only going to the one who says only nice things to me.

“… Ah?”

Originally, at times like this, my older brother would come to mind,
For some reason, only the images of juniors appeared in my mind.

I couldn’t help but be deeply embarrassed, and oh, but, because that’s true. I hate juniors, but that’s what I hate. Because he was nice, he said only nice things to me, and he did.
Even just today. Your face is shiny and pretty. I did…

“…”

Apart from hating him, he treats me well.
Oh yeah, that was it.
So, it might not be that strange that I just remembered my junior instead of my older brother.

Therefore,
I want to see my junior,
I hurried my steps back home.
