Chapter 94 – The Drug of Being Honest
Since that day,
My junior was crazy about the word marriage and acted like a crazy person.
Whenever I get the chance, I sing a song about getting married.
Today was a public lecture day for both of us,
I had some business to attend to at the academy, so I was about to go to school wearing my school uniform.
“Ah. “Senior.”
I was just about to leave the front door,
I looked up at my junior grabbing me from behind.
“Yes?”
“Let’s get married.”
“… “I don’t like it.”
Aren’t you tired?
There is no context beyond that.
I don’t even understand what it is about a woman like me that makes me want to marry her.
We’ve been having a lot of arguments over the past few days.
Of course, it’s about marriage.
If you say that you’ve only known each other for less than a few months, the answer is, is there a law that says you have to date for a long time before you can get married?
When I asked if there was an order for getting married, even though we weren’t lovers yet, he was a junior who slyly said, “Let’s start with lovers first.”
I will never be a lover with you.
I would at least be a girlfriend.
If you talk about it step by step in that way firmly and logically,
He couldn’t hide his dumbfounded face and started throwing tantrums, saying, “I don’t know, I’m getting married.”
“They said I was their ideal type.”
“When am I!”
“Am I the only tall, fit, and handsome man around Eve?”
“A person who thinks he is handsome is not attractive.”
“Tsk…”
I hate to admit it, but my junior guy had all the qualities of my ideal type.
He’s tall, good-looking, rich, good at cooking, good at working nights, serious about exercising, and his technique has improved these days, so he feels dangerously good just by leaving his body still…
“…”
Ah, why do I keep getting lost in strange thoughts?
Anyway, I don’t like it.
I will never marry someone like my junior.
So I sighed and said.
“Ugh. “I’ll be back.”
“Think about it carefully. Marriage.”
“I’m going to have a scab on my ear…”
To cool off my slightly flushed face, I stuck out my red tongue and hurried out of the house, fearing I might get caught.
…
…
…
“Eve. “This is your share after settling the profits from the festival café.”
“A lot, a lot.”
“The lab has been told to everyone, so you can come and go as you please. The professor also willingly gave permission.”
“Senior Dern is the best!”
“As I said before, all you have to do is list the materials you used.”
“Senior. Thank you.”
“I am more grateful. Thanks to you, maids are now a craze in the capital. The empire is turning into paradise…”
“Yes?”
“Hmm. “It’s nothing.”
I already had a close relationship with senior Dern,
I think we became closer friends after working at the maid café last time.
It seems I’m not the only one who feels that way,
The senior spoke to me with a face full of goodwill.
“Eve. But what are you trying to experiment with?”
“It’s not an experiment… “I thought of something I wanted to make.”
“Oh. Okay? What kind of material is it?”
“Rather than a substance. Hmm. It’s medicine.”
“Medicine?”
“Yes.”
“… “It’s not dangerous, right?”
“What are you looking at me for?”
“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it.”
Hehe…”
I guess Senior Dern was curious about the identity of the medicine I was trying to make.
But I didn’t feel the need to say anything, so I didn’t say anything.
“Yes. Can I help you? “I may be a bit unfamiliar with pharmacy, but it will definitely be helpful.”
“No. If you know the formula, you can make it with just the ingredients. “It’s enough on my own.”
“… Still. Ummmm.”
“Senior. “I do it to make fun of the natives.”
“Fizzle. “Professor, listen!”
“Isn’t it about time you came?”
“Wow… Is that so? Eve. I’ll go first. I have to at least pretend to do research. Furthermore, I haven’t been able to go home for three days already, but… Anyway, see you next time.”
“Yes.”
Being a graduate student is hard work.
Without thinking, I thought I did the right thing by rejecting Professor Carmen’s offer to become a graduate student.
Anyway, I went straight to the Academy Alchemy Lab.
It’s a bit dark, the temperature is cool, and there’s a musty smell floating around.
Materials that were really hard to find were spread out on countless shelves.
“Wow…”
I don’t have a single blood magic candle to sustain my life…
That’s because Professor Carmen gave everything to Professor Diaren for me.
Anyway, except for ingredients that were really, really hard to find, there was really nothing.
I think this proves that the term ‘treasure warehouse for alchemists’ is not an empty nickname.
There was ice filled with embers, crystals called spirit tears, and on one side, there were jewels weighing over 10 carats, and there was even a stuffed Mandragora with its eyes quietly closed.
But I didn’t come here today with the intention of dealing with that kind of thing,
I took my eyes off the precious ingredients and took some rather ordinary ingredients and put them in a small pot on one side.
And when I started receiving pension, I thought about it slowly.
Even now, when I close my eyes,
I remember the face of my junior who proposed to me for the first time.
… No, actually, I don’t remember the face.
That bastard,
You begged me to marry you while you were hitting my butt in a backwards position.
Even perverts don’t have that kind of pervert.
If you marry him, that kind of situation will happen every day.
Even if you didn’t watch it, it was a video.
I like a wife who gets beaten, but I don’t like it with a junior colleague.
Choking and slapping her every day was a harsh proposition, but… Ugh, but if it can’t be done, it can’t be done.
“I added a little more Hwanmongcho… With fern roots, ah. Solid ethanol is mixed with a stimulating paste…”
The medicine is made by adding a lot of ingredients that are usually used in making confessions.
Because there are a lot of materials and good equipment, and it’s not that difficult to make,
I was able to simmer the cauldron for an hour or two, grind the mixture well, and then combine it into a round pill.
“And if you feed this to your junior. Uhuhuhuhu…”
Ah.
That’s right.
That was the reason why I came to the academy on the day of the public lecture.
I’m going to make medicine and feed it to my juniors.
So what was made, what was the medicine made, uhm…
“…”
Medicine to be honest… It was.
As the drug I named, the effect was exactly the same as the name of the drug.
The user literally becomes honest until they fall asleep.
You can find out your true feelings by saying what you think out loud right away.
Why did I make something like this?
I did it because I wanted to know my junior’s sincerity.
It’s because I want to know what his true intentions were when he suddenly confessed to a woman like me and even proposed marriage to her.
I know that my junior is not that kind of person, but he might have other intentions or plans that I haven’t thought of, right?
Even if you don’t want to admit it, even if you hate it to death… My ideal type, after all.
If he keeps asking me to marry him every time we make eye contact like he does these days, there’s a chance that I may accidentally agree, and I don’t want him to realize his true purpose later and regret it to the point of death.
That’s why we created this medicine.
I will feed you and ask you questions.
Why do you want to marry me, why me, why are you treating me so well?
Ugh, things like that.
After putting the medicine I made into a suitable container and making a ledger of the items used,
I left the lab and headed home again.
…
…
…
“I’m here…”
Wow,
There are shoes in the shoe cabinet that you haven’t seen before.
The heels were high enough to make you dizzy just by looking at them, so I knew right away that they weren’t my junior’s shoes.
Customer… Is it?
I guess my junior hasn’t noticed that I came home yet.
There’s no space in the living room, bathroom, or storage room, so it feels like I’m in my room.
With a customer, probably a woman.
“…”
A woman who went out, alone, in a room, while I was out.
A series of ominous words float through my mind and I calculate the worst possible assumption.
As the smell of sweet perfume, which I had smelled for the first time, passed my nose, I blinked and realized the situation.
“Wind… ?”
We’re not really in a romantic relationship yet,
I’m not cheating like I said,
Anyway, I think my junior is hanging out with a girl other than me right now…
Kugung- I feel like lightning is falling in my head.
A meaningless sound like, uh, uh, came out of my mouth, and I was frozen in shock.
Then, as if I were a thief, I quietly walked over and leaned my ear against the door of my junior’s room.
Then I hear the sound of a man and woman talking.
“Marriage? You? Wow. “Can you do it well?”
“Take care of yourself.”
“Don’t be so cold. “We’ve seen everything we can’t see.”
We’ve seen everything we can’t see.
I covered my mouth with my palm as I tried to moan.
“It has grown a lot. Our Ian.”
“Pretending to be friendly.”
“We’re close.”
“Not really.”
The junior seems to be tickling a little,
Still, I didn’t bother to correct what the woman said.
If you’re really close with a woman from the outside world, is that like an ex-lover?
Why did you bring it into the house, and even into the room…
My mind is extremely complicated.
I don’t know how to deal with it because it’s my first time experiencing it, and it’s a situation I’ve never even imagined.
I stayed still in front of the door for a long time, as if it was broken.
… I had no idea that the door would open soon.
The door that was closed tightly suddenly opened inward…
I was leaning against the door and fell in the direction of the door that naturally opened.
“Aaaaak!”
Luckily I didn’t fall…
I ended up being completely wrapped up in the arms of my junior.
He treated me slyly.
“What. When did you come back?”
“B-just now…” ?”
“Uh. Why is your expression like that? “Why are you crying?”
“… Me… ?”
“My eyes are red… What did I do wrong?”
I suddenly came to my senses at the word wrong.
And I looked inside the room.
Sure enough, there was a pretty girl there, looking at the two of us with her arms crossed.
It was even a face I had seen once before.
That’s why, on the way back home, I saw him talking to his junior as if he was really close with him, and I was very, ugh, jealous…
She was the woman who made me go back a long way.
After I fell asleep from crying, the confession continued on the ridge where the Milky Way was falling,
She is such a beautiful woman that it’s strange that I had completely forgotten about her until now.
While I was in the arms of her junior, I was staring at her,
She couldn’t help but say something, so she looked up at him and said.
“Bah, you’re cheating… ?”
“… Wind?”
I guess my words were heard very well by the woman behind me.
The two looked blank for a moment, then looked at each other’s faces,
Both of them spoke to me with the same smile, with only one corner of their mouths twisted.
“With that?”
“With him, I-?”
And you start laughing in earnest, right?
I held my stomach and even burst out laughing to the point where I was worried my belly button would fall off.
Uh,
I’m serious.
Why are you smiling… ?
