Chapter 275 – Chapter 275 Magic School Shutra (2-10)
I grumbled as I left the school gate.
“Ah… Annoying. Can’t you just let me wear the uniform?”
“It’s a rule, so it can’t be helped.”
Behind me, a voice like the scent of a flowing tulip rang in my eardrums, and I turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.
The owner of the tulip voice had long silver hair, purple eyes, and a fancy dress that caught the attention of the people around her.
I said looking at Luna.
“… Isn’t that the outfit of someone going to study?”
“Isn’t that what Suho was going to say?”
In fact, I was wearing a fancy outfit just like Luna.
The outfit I’m wearing now was the one Sonya bought me the other day when I introduced her to her husband.
To be honest, I wanted to wear more normal street clothes, but I didn’t want to greet Luna in normal clothes.
At least, the most passable was the conquest, but Stra’s conquest was strictly prohibited from being worn outside.
He said that in the past, there were some cases that caused problems after wearing them, so he said that he was forced to do so.
In other words, there was no suitable level of clothing, so I had no choice but to choose this clothing.
“I couldn’t help it because I had no clothes to wear.”
“That goes for me too.”
Originally, the reason I suggested going out of school today was to take a walk and talk about the test.
It was a proposal with the feeling of a medieval study.
But just by looking at Luna and I’s outfits, it was like going out on a date.
‘I was just going to go for a walk, but I’m worried.’
Do you just end up chatting while eating dessert at a cafe?
If I really finished like that, I felt like I could directly hear Luna’s crushing sound.
Whatever it was, Luna had to make sure she wasn’t bored until dinner.
‘Well, it’s because both of them quit sleepovers just in case.’
Come to think of it, Luna was also Luna.
I was obviously just talking about taking a walk, but when I checked today, it turned out that I had completely stopped sleeping out.
With me….
‘Because I don’t know the world.’
I held out her hand as I watched Luna stare intently at me.
“Let’s go.”
“… Can’t you be more formal at times like this?”
“Then….”
I respectfully held out her hand and looked at Luna with a gentle smile.
“Miss Luna Stadtfeld, would you like to spend the day with me?”
“After… Like.”
Luna also smiled as she lifted her chin and placed her hand gently on top of hers, as if she was feeling better.
And the guards who look at us and make disapproving faces….
“It’s embarrassing to do this in front of school.”
“….”
Ruined the atmosphere….
Luna and I lowered our red faces and quickly left our seats.
..
..
Stra.
Until now, when I said Stra, I just thought of magic school, but as of today, that thought has completely changed.
This city centered around the magic school was Stra.
As Luna walked along the colorful road with me, she explained this and that about Stra.
“Even famous merchants and aristocrats on the continent of Shutra are struggling to take a step. Further, the royal family….”
It is said that a store with a name in its own right pours an astronomical amount of money every year to set up a branch, and nobles flock here because the fact that they have their own site is an honor.
But money and external fame were of no use in getting here.
There was only one way to settle down in Stra.
“It’s just a personal connection.”
“… Networking?”
It was a silly word.
I thought there would be a great way, but it’s just networking….
“You mean you have to have someone you know in the Stra branch?”
“No. It’s just one person’s connection.”
“… ?”
“Archmage Ludwig Rieffenstein, the dean’s connections.”
When I put on a face that didn’t know what I was talking about, Luna shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Suho really only came here to learn magic. But most of the students who come here are different.”
Luna looked up at me with her eyes tightening.
“Because the diploma you get from the Straw Magic School is the best way to make the first connection with the dean.”
“Ah….”
After listening to Luna, I could understand.
A human who made this world completely peaceful.
In this continent, the dean was no different from Jesus or Buddha in the world I live in.
But does such a being exist, not a legend?
Just by standing still, people will gather, become an organization, and become a nation.
And this stra exists.
Dipping a toe into such a place was like dipping a toe into money, fame, and power.
“That’s why everyone is struggling to enter Stra. In fact, learning magic is the second.”
“I see. I didn’t know.”
“Suho….”
“… ?”
Luna muttered in silence in the middle of her words.
“Did you really come to learn magic without such greed?”
“Well… Right?”
“… That’s really great.”
If you listen to Luna now, I’m sure I’m the odd case.
Probably, among the students attending Stra Magic School right now, there is not a single one who comes to see only real magic.
In fact, that includes me….
‘I’m here to seduce you! What kind of reaction would they have if I said that?’
[….]
Why? That’s my purpose embarrassing!?
Luna walked around with me and continued to explain about her Stra, and she continued her walk while listening to Luna’s chatter after a long time.
While watching like that, Luna’s eyes were fixed somewhere and she opened her mouth.
“Ah, that’s the musical instrument store run by Mr. Carl Friedrich.”
“Five….”
It was a large brown and gray stone building.
It was a building that seemed to be about 5 stories high, and the entire building was running a musical instrument store.
Luna looked up at the instrument point and smiled at her.
“Would you like to go in?”
“Okay.”
Studying had already taken a back seat, and I decided to enjoy it as much as possible.
I smiled dejectedly and entered the music store with Luna.
Inside the musical instrument store, the staff welcomed us right away, and we started looking at the instruments while listening to the staff’s explanation.
‘Hmm, that’s fucking expensive….’
As the company is famous, the instruments sold inside were also forming unusual prices.
Even if I didn’t come in to buy it in the first place, I was breathless when I suddenly looked at the huge amount.
As we were looking around the inside, a middle-aged man with a stately appearance approached us from a distance.
“How were you?”
Carl Friedrich was Sonya’s husband.
..
..
Food was placed on the garden table, and at the same time Carl started apologizing.
“I don’t think I disturbed you two for nothing.”
“Please. Thank you for being so welcoming to us.”
Luna and I were unexpectedly invited to Carl’s mansion.
It was fortunate that I was invited just as I was about to have lunch.
But ironically, Sonya was not in the mansion.
“Sonya is at school because it is a busy time these days.”
“Assistant Professor… I really want you to be.”
“Thank you on behalf of Sonya. Even though Sonya is uncomfortable without her, I hope you don’t notice and stay at ease.”
So the three of us had an awkward meal.
However, even though the beginning was awkward, after a while, Carl gathered the stems of the dizzy atmosphere and began to skillfully conduct the conversation.
He was like a person with a talent for Sangjae and music.
“It was all thanks to Sonya that I was able to establish a branch in Stra.”
“Ah… Then Carl wasn’t originally a citizen of this place.”
“That’s right. As you probably know, settling down here is difficult for an ordinary human like me to dare.”
Carl lifted her up and told her how much he loved her, despite her absence.
And Luna responded as much as possible to his words and lifted him up.
“The knife is also great. Professor Sonya will consider you lucky to be married.”
“Sonya….”
Carl swallowed the smile he was holding back, then opened his mouth with a frown.
“You should never have met a husband like me.”
“… Yes?”
“….”
Luna was taken aback by the sudden change of atmosphere, and I felt sorry for the knife.
‘I’m sorry…. Didn’t you allow Sonya and me to sleep with you the other day, even though you don’t have a weird temperament?’
Karl Friedrich didn’t see any strange walls.
He was perfectly normal, only had erectile dysfunction.
Even though he had no strange temper, he wanted the woman he loved to be embraced by another man.
For Sonya’s happiness.
[Maybe it’s because I went through a lot in the middle. For us, we only saw erectile dysfunction and frustration, but the two must have suffered from this problem for quite some time.]
As Armonia said, looking only at the fragmentary parts could lead to a strange misunderstanding, but knowing the past of the two people with the temperament window, I couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
Carl immediately caught the mood of the two of us, relieved his gloom, and smiled bitterly.
“Sorry. I suddenly said this….”
And towards that knife, Luna smiled and began to comfort her.
“It’s okay. Circumstances are the same for everyone. But Professor Sonya will never regret meeting Carl.”
“No. Sonya is right now just being with me….”
“No.”
Luna hardened her expression and began to speak firmly.
“I don’t know what your situation is, but I know for sure that Professor Sonja loved Carl.”
“….”
“Please don’t put regret at the beginning of love. The professor will be sad too.”
After Cal heard everything Luna said, he closed her eyes and was silent for a while, then opened her mouth and apologized.
“… Sorry. I was frivolous.”
“I am really sorry. Without knowing the circumstances of the two of you….”
“No. That was great advice. Thank you.”
In this way, the atmosphere was refreshed again, and we were able to continue our meal in a bright atmosphere again.
..
..
As soon as Carl finished eating, he accommodated us and explained that he was free to stay here.
“You can study comfortably in the garden of our mansion.”
“Thank you.”
“If you need anything, just call our staff and they will fix it.”
After Carl allowed us to live in the house, he went back to work and headed to the musical instrument store.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to focus on my studies because I’m full, but I’m glad the date didn’t seem to be a hit.
‘I’m really glad I met Carl.’
[Have you thought of another place after the musical instrument store?]
‘I was going to thump at the motel if it didn’t work out.’
[… I am very glad to have met Carl Friedrich.]
Why? How nice is it to chat in a motel?
From the side, Luna started looking at me with her gruff face.
I wondered why he was making such a face all of a sudden.
“Why?”
“… I have a question.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“… How did you get into that relationship with Professor Sonya?”
“….”
He threw a fastball that had never been thrown before.
It was really difficult to tell where to begin.
If you tell the truth, it’s a problem, if you tell a lie, it’s a problem.
Luna would not be able to understand everyone.
Me, Sonya, Carl….
Me who had sex with a married woman, Sonya who cheated on me despite being married, and Carl who blames himself without knowing it.
From Luna’s point of view, all three of these will be mysterious.
After being silent for a while, I finally opened my mouth.
“Luna… There’s nothing I can tell you right now. It’s not just me.”
“….”
Luna, hearing my words, began to stare at the cumulus clouds hanging at the far end of the sky with a sad expression.
Looking at it like that, Luna said with a sad expression.
“Please.”
“….”
“Please don’t make me regret the fact that I loved you.”
“That….”
The moment I was about to say something, Luna cut me off and continued her words while looking up at the sky.
“It’s okay to have an affair. It’s okay to turn your attention to another woman. But….”
“….”
“Please don’t leave me and make me regret loving you.”
Luna looked at me at the same time as she said that, and I nodded and smiled.
“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”
“….”
Luna smiled and pushed her chair up next to her child and leaned against her shoulder, she said.
“There’s something I couldn’t tell you either. I’ll tell you someday However… I don’t want to experience the sudden departure of a loved one.”
I swept her Luna’s bangs, leaning on her shoulder, and said as if promising.
“I promise you that much. I will never leave you under any circumstances.”
“… Thanks.”
We sat in the garden, looked up at the high sky, and kissed quietly.
