Chapter 70 – She Runs Away, I’m Sad
I couldn’t help but tilt my head as I saw Freyja walking away through the hallways.
It is not surprising that Freya, who is somewhat acquainted with the princess, brought her there. The problem was Freya’s reaction.
Even as he was staggering around with no pulse, there was no way he could miss the sight of him trembling and barely suppressing his tears.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t say anything and could only stare at the sight from afar.
Are you crying?
Why?
Why?
Did I make a mistake?
That can’t be possible.
Whatever the process, coincidentally, she is in love with an imaginary blood relative named Moonlight Chaser.
It is clear that in many ways, it would be easier to just nail it down like it is now rather than causing strange misunderstandings. Especially among children in their prime, the professors’ love story is bound to be greatly distorted. Cutting off the buds before they grow could be one way.
More than anything, being involved with me, a ‘man’, in this way is one of the situations that Freya hates the most.
Rather, I wanted her to be grateful to me for telling her the story. There was no reason for her to run away crying like that.
In the end, I came to one conclusion.
“Are you still angry about that…?” ?”
“You mean that?”
Rin, who had been quietly holding her breath until now, opened her eyes and asked me.
She was told by her younger sister Ran, who is still too young to attend class, that around this time she either naps or she stays with Professor Aegis.
“Oh, I made a bit of a mistake last time. “I’m not in a hurry.”
I was embarrassed to talk in detail about what happened that day in front of the students, so I answered briefly.
… Even if you think about it now, let’s leave aside the things that can’t be helped.
“… “Okay, let’s stop now and start class.”
I sighed and picked up the chalk.
Then Rin hesitated, glancing down the hallway beyond the entrance to the classroom where Freyja had disappeared and muttering.
“I don’t think so….”

“Teacher.”
“Oppa! Oh no… teacher!”
As soon as class ended, it was Cecilia and Lin who came up to us. Undine left the classroom in that short period of time. Although he didn’t show it out loud, his expression was colder and colder than the face he usually shows to the public.
Her royal bloodline is like a curse to her. Now is the time to let things go… It seemed like he had no intention of relenting.
Now that I think about it, the princess was naturally taking her classes.
She was told that she had received an imperial order and was headed to the imperial castle, but she did not expect to be at the Academy. She turned her head, thinking briefly, “I’ll have to ask her later.”
“Ah, Cecilia. Lynn. What’s the matter?”
I welcomed the two people who approached me and asked. Cecilia’s calm, smiling expression suddenly reminded me of the handcuff incident, and my heart ached.
You must be careful. It is undoubtedly true that Cecilia’s condition has been strange lately.
What on earth is this time? If not handcuffs, is it rope this time? Maybe she’ll just be locked behind bars.
… She only feeds me and raises me.
Doing nothing, not doing anything. She just eats and sleeps……
Hmm, if you think about it, it seems pretty good, right?
This is confinement with guaranteed food, clothing, and shelter.
Wouldn’t it be okay if we were deprived of a little bit of freedom? In the first place, even now, freedom has been lost for a long time.
I asked with such shallow and dark expectations.
“Do you have any questions?”
“I know this isn’t something I want to tell you right now, but do you have time?”
“Time? Now?”

“No, I heard you were having a party. “I want to talk about the party.”
Cecilia leisurely waited for my answer.
…… Party?
After pausing for a moment, I was able to remember when I saw Lynn fiddling with the hem of Cecilia’s clothes.
“… Ah! That’s right. I told you that Ran wanted to have a party to celebrate her recovery. Thank you. Well said. Let’s seize the day.”
“If the teacher just tells us the date, we will coordinate for the others as well.”
“It’s a dinner party, right? “Any time is fine.”
“I understand. “Then I will prepare by then.”
“But legally.”
“…… Yes?”
“You can’t put sleeping pills in party food or spray gas like last time.”
I didn’t miss the moment when Cecilia’s ears perked up.
“……… It can not?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because it might hurt someone.”
“Even if I can achieve my dream through someone else’s sacrifice?”
“Give up the delusion that achieving your dreams in that way will make you happy.”
“Weak…… “
“No.”
“Can’t I take a sleep inducing medication?”
“Even if you increase the number of sleeping pills in a plausible way, the ingredients do not change.”
“What about the mushrooms that have a calming effect that you told me about a long time ago?”
“They say it’s not effective against the fox tribe, but isn’t distribution banned because it’s a drug in the empire?”
“…… “Yes, I will prepare some simple food.”
What kind of food was this grumpy fox trying to prepare? But as she looked at Cecilia, who lowered her head sullenly, she felt very bad as a teacher.
“… Are you going to go buy party supplies or food? “It will be heavy, but should I go with you?”
“Yes.”
I answered immediately without even taking a breath.
As if she had lost her temper at some point, Cecilia’s tail flicked and drew a soft arc.
If Rin hadn’t woken me up just then, she would have been shocked at the fact that she had been possessed by that fox.
“Oppa! Rather, you have to explain it properly to Professor Freya!”
“… Explanation?”
“That’s right. “He may be hurt because he is not as soft-hearted as he appears.”
The moment I heard the word ‘wound’, I thought, ‘Who are you?’ I recalled the incident.
“Ah… that.”
“… Brother now… “You’re thinking about something else.”
“Hmm? “Something else?”
It seemed like Lynn and Cecilia didn’t like my answer and turned to face each other.
“Brother, just tell Professor Freya what we say. ‘What I said earlier was a mistake on my part. Just forget everything.’ You can’t change just one Tossi! Absolutely! Yes? Yes?!”
“Misunderstanding… ? No, that’s actually good for Freya… “
“Professor Freya is so pitiful!”
“Ah, okay.”
In the end, I couldn’t resist Rin’s anger and reluctantly nodded her head.
From Rin’s point of view, who still didn’t know about Moonlight Chaser or her complicated situation from a few days ago, she could have simply thought that Freya was hurt by my words.
But I don’t misunderstand.
The reason why Freyja reacted so awkwardly was because I was joking about losing my memory or something, that’s what she thought until then.

“Huh… hahahaha… “
Clumsy running was now the limit. He must have left the lecture hall and ran in a panic. When I came to my senses, I found myself wandering aimlessly around Middle Garden.
“Ah! Professor Freya! I have a question about something during this class…… Professor?”
“Hey, Professor Freya! Was it here! I, Fernandez, have something to say to you… Hmm? “Where are we going?”
A name was called from somewhere, but Freya didn’t even have the presence of mind to answer.
It was clear that if I stopped running even for a moment, the emotions I had been suppressing would come out. I could never allow myself to show this face to others.
She looked up, out of breath, and before she knew it, she was in front of the medical school building.
It didn’t matter why I came here or how I got there.
It must have been luck that I ran into Aegis who was walking nearby.
Freya shed thick tears without realizing it.
“This…” I’m a professor at Aegis… “
“Oh my… Professor Freya. What’s happening~♪”
Aegis smiled bitterly and approached Freya.
“Maybe… “Are you crying?”
“Oh, I’m not crying.”
“You look like you’re crying~ Please sit over here.”
At first, I think I just started with excuses that didn’t work.
The moment Professor Aegis smiled kindly and hugged her, Freya felt her emotions pouring out.
Before she knew it, she was in her arms and started crying.
“I see~ But since my pretty face is ruined, can you tell me what happened~?”
“Hi! Any… any… If you tell me too… “
“I don’t~♪ It’s true.”
Freya, who hesitated for a long time even after receiving her confirmation, finally opened her mouth.
“This is…” This is a story about a homeroom teacher at the school where my friend’s cousin goes….”
“Yes, yes. A story about the homeroom teacher at the school where a friend’s cousin goes to school. “I roughly understood the setting.”
“… “The teacher has a crush on someone, but one day she overheard her crush talking.”
“Hmm, what do you mean?”
“‘Even if I die, I will never, no matter what, have romantic feelings for that person,’ she said as if declaring it in the absence of the teacher.”
“Umm……… ….”
As Aegis looked at her ceiling and let out her moans, Freyja’s face turned pale as she was greatly mistaken.
She turned pale, the blood drained from her stained lips, her thin voice trembled, and she began to sob and hold her breath.
“… Thank you There is an answer. Hmm… ! Well, right? Black… ! Oh, seriously… That’s what you said, right? Oh, I knew about it from the beginning. Sniff! It’s my karma. Well, because I kept bringing up my past life in front of that person. That’s why I lost everything, affection and all. I knew it. Sorry. It’s okay to feel bad. A person who remembers his past life…. It would be natural to be reluctant to such a person… ”
“…. Yes?”
“Huh… ! What should I do now… ? Chi, what if I say I don’t want to be friends? What if I tell you not to come near me because I feel bad? Flaw… just… Just like this……… “
“Now, wait a minute. Professor Freya! “I stopped talking.”
“…… Yes?”
I hurriedly called Freyja, who buried her face in her knees and began to sob bitterly. Her face was already a mess. She had her gorgeous white blonde hair hastily smoothed down, sticking to her cheeks and her shoulders.
The magic power that breaks even the heart of the same woman flows out. There was a strange sense of immorality on her crying face. The sweet scent rising from the sweat on the back of her neck due to her running was almost frustrating.
She looks like Lee Ji-kyung even to herself, but Izzy, who thought that if someone were to see her like this, she would be in real trouble, fanned her face and hurriedly spoke.
“… So it’s probably a misunderstanding.”
