Avoid Former Co-Workers

33 – 33. The weak (2)

Professor Meuniher brought Charlotte in.

The rings on each of Charlotte’s arms catch her eye.

‘Magical restraint…’

A magic tool that completely suppresses and blocks mana so that sinners cannot use any magic.

The fact that Charlotte is wearing it may mean that she is going to punish her in the end.

However, she might be wondering why she came looking for me. She had no reason to come here to punish her.

“I’d like to ask you a little bit about the circumstances of the case.”

Is it me?

It was unexpected that her Charlotte came along, but Professor Meuniher seemed willing to give her some room for extenuating circumstances.

It’s not good for Charlotte to pay for her crimes, even if you don’t take my position into consideration. Then…

“Do you mind if I ask how far you know?”

“Hmm, I was the one who asked the question.”

“There may be mistakes, so I’m trying to correct them. You can see me as a victim, but in a way, I’m also the first witness.”

Professor Meuniher thought deeply, touching her chin with his index finger, then nodded and asked Charlotte to repeat the statement.

“When I first met the senior, a feud with her teammates continued, and after leaving the team…”

Charlotte told Professor Meuniher exactly what she had, but she left out some of it.

That was a private conversation between me and Charlotte.

I was trying to ask something about me as I was going to the place where Noel and John were.

I didn’t bring up any stories related to the sudden appearance of the Giant Kudrat’s powder all over the body.

To answer a fact that could be questionable, a fact that could be against me, meant that you would respect my answer.

“Then the senior holding my arms collapsed on my own… Someone else found me.”

It seems that I have conveyed the same to Professor Meuniher, and Charlotte’s mouth closes, and now his gaze turns to me.

This time, it means that it is my turn to answer.

“Most of it matches what I know, except for a few exaggerations that Noel and John made a fuss about.”

“Hmm… That’s right.”

Professor Meuniher knew that the attack was not intentional.

However, did this situation seem salty? Professor Meuniher sighed as he alternated between me and Charlotte a couple of times.

“Well, the rats deserve to be in the underground canal… But the reason they’ve grown so huge is because of the demonic beast’s blood mixed in the wastewater.”

Why did you come to this conclusion without questioning even though you looked suspicious?

In fact, this time it was said that he would close his eyes.

“Since the person concerned says so, there will be no disciplinary action, but Lady Charlotte will need to go around with her colleagues to control her powers.”

Professor Meuniher, who explained the magic runaway and Charlotte’s constitution, actively recommended that she belong to a certain team.

You are absolutely right.

If she finds herself in a situation where she fights her demons alone, she will go berserk again, and she needs someone to stop her so the damage won’t increase.

He even recommends a team, saying that Goden is gathering people.

She was worried if Charlotte couldn’t make it to Them Bris’ party because I interfered, but it didn’t seem like she needed to worry about that.

“Well, it looks like you’ve finished what you have to say. Junon. Come find me first when you’re all healed.”

“I think so.”

“Lady Charlotte should say as little as possible and come out. She will have to explain first.”

“…I will.”

Seeing that the evaluation at the beginning of the semester was not mentioned, it seems that it went on as it was.

To be honest, there are cases where I go there with dissatisfaction because of my grades, but I’m not interested in that.

He said he would give you 1:1 private tutoring, but how could you not accept it?

Professor Meuniher said that when he was healed, come for guidance and then left the hospital room.

‘All that remains…’

Is it only Charlotte?

Only her silence lingers in her hospital room, and she is left alone with her again.

***

“That… Senpai? May I ask you a question…”

“Since it makes me uncomfortable, can’t we just leave out the word ‘nim’ and talk comfortably? We’re just two years older and younger.”

Why are you talking like a high-ranking person? The person in front of me was not a grand duke or an emperor of an empire.

She says she owes Charlotte too, but she has some things she can’t say either, so it’s only fair to see her as equal.

In the first place, that relationship is the smoothest as far as Charlotte goes.

“mmm. I see. Yes. Comfortable… Comfortable…”

As she was nervous about what Charlotte, who was restless, was going to say, she must have been a bit curious about what she said.

Charlotte was afraid to say anything.

First of all, isn’t there something he did? The thought that he might be offended made her speechless.

But she mustered up the courage. ‘Cause there’s something left to say

“…How did I end up like that… Don’t you ask?”

I fully remember her past life, how could Junon not know that?

It was said that it was caused by runaway magic, but I just don’t want to mention it that much.

“If I asked that question, it would only make you feel bad, but you don’t have to.”

“How do I… Feel…?”

As soon as she heard her words, Charlotte’s hands, which were holding onto her skirt, naturally gained strength.

“How can I undo what happened in the past? I’ll end it by not making mistakes next time.”

A person who doesn’t hold grudges even when he’s put in a situation like this. What the hell did you do to him?

Charlotte had no choice but to bow her head, telling Junon the truth.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I didn’t think my magical powers would have that kind… Oh, no. I didn’t mean to make excuses like this…”

She shook her head, and after clearing her mind for a moment, Charlotte continued her words.

“I didn’t know anything and thought that I had to use my strength somehow, so it ended like this. I’m sorry that I hurt you and ruined the evaluation test at the beginning of the semester.”

It should be said that the figure she showed now is like Charlotte.

The behavior of a child who wants to mature, who is smart but has a weak side somewhere.

She is a child who wants to become an adult as soon as possible. That could be seen as Charlotte’s identity.

Thanks to her, her light blue hair covers her Charlotte’s face, but I know she’s sobbing.

When children make a big mistake for the first time, most of them cry and don’t know what to do.

And someone who watched Charlotte like that used to say this.

-‘Charlotte. She fears the most when she runs out. Do you know what?’

– ‘If she is stronger than she is, she can suppress him, but if she is weaker then she can’t.’

– ‘It’s not that she hates you for being weak, in fact, she’s Charlotte. That’s why she’s afraid. So don’t feel too bad. Junon.’

It looked like that.

It wasn’t because he really hated someone, he must have been afraid of hurting someone.

I ended up hurting people with my own hands, so it must have been quite difficult for a child with a soft heart to endure.

Until now, Charlotte must have been afraid that she would kill people with her own hands, so she had been kicking and pushing away the weakest person.

He went so far as to say that he knew the subject, that no matter how hard he tried, the limit of a person was set, and that he had to cut out the person he wanted to knock out.

‘Yes. It seems you are right.’

No matter how much you try to imitate a mature adult, when you run into something like this, the nature of a child who still has a soft heart is revealed.

First of all, isn’t she a girl who is only 17 years old. The age at which she will be taken care of by someone if a situation arises that she cannot handle.

Because he was the youngest at Thembris Party, he was the youngest member and received a lot of cuteness from the members.

Charlotte Ashrelt is such a child.

The patient’s hand, now barely able to move one of her arms, rose above her light blue hair.

The hand of the patient, who was not moving well yet, patted the back of a crying child who was cowering.

“Sun… Ship…?”

“Don’t blame yourself too much. You’ll get well soon.”

“Suck…!”

Charlotte clenched her fists as her pleats tightened in her luxurious fabric skirt.

Then, the girl cried bitterly. I can’t stand the overflowing emotions.

She was such a huge burden to Charlotte, who couldn’t shake the feeling of being a sinner.

‘Yes. Crying and brushing it off is also a way.’

Charlotte Ashrelt.

In a harsh society, the only thing left by human beings called parents is a mansion and a huge debt.

Charlotte’s motto was right: to live and survive in the world.

Because he has the strength he learned early on, the ability to manage the territory, and the ability to work, standing proudly in a position that others look up to.

However, even if the direction is right, can we conclude that it is not a difficult road?

No. She was already worn out from walking down a road and through the blizzards and typhoons of so many worlds.

A child who was not properly cared for would fall prematurely trying to become an adult.

I didn’t just trip over a rock, I tripped on my own leg.

So it should be fine now.

Those guys will come forward and take care of you, and sometimes they will scold you, but they will praise you, and you will slowly become an adult after carving memories of your childhood.

You can cry as much as you want now. Charlotte.

***

After the evaluation at the beginning of the semester, the injured students were treated and resolved.

Students ask if the difficulty level of the test is wrong again, and the faculty members have their doubts once again.

After seeing the Giant Kud Rats, Professor Meuniher immediately came to grasp the situation and began an investigation.

But no one was convinced until the investigation began.

What was the reason that rats became weaker as time passed?

The only people who knew about this were Junon and one other person.

“Junon… What the hell are you…”

The reddish-brown side hair loosens and sits down between the thick plant encyclopedias.

On the page touched by her downcast auburn hair, information about a plant with a name familiar to Michelle was written on it.

[ Mystellis ]

[ It has white leaves and brown stems, but turns into a white powder when ground. ]

[ Mystellis in powder form has a role as a purifying agent. The leaves attached to the stem are the same. ]

[ The white powder and leaves have the effect of purifying the demonic energy of demonic beasts that have inhaled an excessive amount of demonic energy and have rapidly grown. ]

[ However, be careful as it takes about 5 minutes for the effect to appear. ]

[ When the medicinal effect appears, the white powder turns gray, and it can be confirmed that it is combined with a large amount of turbid magic and is stuck. ]

[ Even if purified magic power or human demonic energy touches it, it hardens into a gray color, but it is not harmful to the human body, so you can shake it off or wash it off with water. ]

[ In addition, it is very effective because it reveals its role as a purifier to rodent demons. ]

[ Varieties are found in most areas of the southern continent of Kempreton────── ]

The reddish-brown hair that shines softly in the light of the lanterns stuck to the plant encyclopedia for a while and did not fall off.

Recalling the boy’s face, thinking that he could see the future, Michelle had to reconsider her promise to him.

-‘Instead, I hope you don’t have anything to do with me in the future.’
