Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer

190 – Just before the journey (2)

“… ….”

The night before, there was only one day left until the magic circle of dimensional movement that would connect to the Nine Heavens was completed.

I was back in the dormitory, the only place I had in this world.

…… So, after only a month and 15 days, I was unable to concentrate properly on the classes at the academy I was attending and was left blank.

I have just opened the passage from the dormitory tower to my private room.

Why?

“Welcome, master.”

“… ….”

“Do you want to eat first or wash yourself first? Or, if they aren’t… ….”

Beyond the door of my private room that I had opened, in ‘my own small dormitory’ where no one could enter without my permission, a stranger with white hair was quietly kneeling and waiting for me.

Astrologer Djibril Anais.

She looked up at me with narrowed eyes, then prefaced her with words that could in some ways be called clichés, then gently pulled down the hem of her dress that covered her shoulders.

She has somehow alluring eyes and speaks with a shy smile on her face.

“…… Would you like to take the girl first…… ?”

A word that naturally makes hot blood rush to one side of the body.

I lifted the blade of my hand without thinking.

Of course, the ‘part where blood flows’ was upward, not downward.

The back of my neck is straining because of my blood pressure.

The blade of the hand, filled with a very faint, almost non-existent thunderbolt, fell down.

Cow!

“Ugh!”

Jibril let out a ridiculous scream, threw her body backwards and immediately grabbed her by the top of her head.

It wasn’t even funny that she was crying with tears in her eyes because she had been hit.

Of course, I put some lightning on it, but even so, it wouldn’t be much different from the pain you feel when you drop an encyclopedia on your little toe.

One of his acting was really realistic.

I very naturally passed Jibril, who was making a groaning sound.

The academy uniform worn in the approaching winter, the winter uniform.

I took off my gray coat and hung it in a corner of the room, then sat down on the edge of the bed.

And then I turn my head and look at the home invasion criminal who crawled into my room.

Jibril was still rolling around on the floor, and I knew very well that he was acting very viciously, waiting for me to come to him out of concern for him.

The acting was a bit outstanding today, but whatever.

“Why did you come here again?”

I just asked her about her business in her indifferent voice.

Recalling a similar incident that happened someday and its composition.

After her ‘attempt to kidnap Dante’, Jibril made a surprise appearance like this when she tried to live her life without forgetting about her.

She was shocked at how surprised she was then.

I had to unintentionally enter a state of intense tension, wondering if this guy was plotting to kidnap or assassinate me again.

It doesn’t matter now because I know full well that this guy won’t do that.

“You probably didn’t come because you really wanted to sleep with me.”

Anyway, the very fact that he came to me like this was suspicious.

So I suddenly asked, and Jibril’s expression became even more mysterious.

“…… Things have changed a bit, master. “You weren’t the type of person to be this direct with your words.”

And then he said that to me, so I blinked for a moment and then asked back.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah… ….”

Jibril pulled up her clothes, her face blushing, as if she was somehow embarrassed.

If she had gone down just a little bit more, her cleavage would have been visible, which was a bit disappointing.

“I’m saying that, including that part!”

“Ah.”

I quickly erased the delusion that had been secretly in my mind and made a embarrassed expression.

If you look at it that way, Jibril was a guy who could even read people’s thoughts to some extent.

Jibril, who had been rubbing the back of his hand with his sleeve for a while, as if he had read all my imagination, immediately looked up at me with a sigh.

“…… Well, if you really want to, there’s nothing I can’t do for you.”

And saying that was such a pretentious thing to say.

In other words, you will be able to build up your crumpled pride.

I chuckled and slowly stood up.

Because she had the confidence to destroy her with just one word.

I let out a single word as I unbuttoned my shirt one by one.

“Take it off.”

“…… “I was wrong, I was being too presumptuous, please forgive me for what I’m doing tonight.”

It should have come out like that a long time ago. I sat down on the road again and sighed.

Well, I felt like I somehow knew what Jibril was trying to say.

As she said, I was originally this kind of person and did not have that type of personality.

The reason for the change was simple.

So to speak, did you feel more confident?

In other words, it was the existence of a new experience.

Not to mention what happened with Eve a few days ago, and even before that, didn’t he also sleep with Beatrice (actually just slept with her)?

Even if that clumsy fortune teller came to tempt me once again, I had no reason to be upset.

I fell into a brief state of narcissism as I felt my baseless confidence continue to soar…….

“…… Ah.”

Of course, that didn’t last long.

I immediately turned my head.

Djibril’s face was still blushing from the impact of the blow he received during the brief exchange of jabs with me.

Without spinning her around, I immediately asked her question again.

“So, what is your business?”

“…… Yes. “Uh, yes?”

“What did you come here for?”

Until yesterday, it seemed like he was participating in the work of helping Yurin’s demon and Tsumei and correcting the technique of dimensional movement.

As she is an expert in magic, I heard that her work efficiency has improved considerably.

So why did she come to me again at a time like this?

Her answer to that was concise.

“…… The job is done. “We will be able to activate the magic circle as planned, probably as soon as tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

“So, both the saint and the slain dragon. And of course, I think you’ll be leaving the academy tomorrow…”

Even though he didn’t continue the conversation to the end, it wasn’t difficult to interpret the afterword on his own.

I nodded as if I understood and added further explanation.

“In other words, you couldn’t bear the loneliness and sneaked into the man’s room?”

“…… Why does it end up like that?!”

Just Jibril seemed unwilling to admit it.

Of course, I didn’t believe her denial.

I looked at her pitifully for a moment and then shook her head.

You look like this lewd fortune teller.

“I told you no! Because I was just worried about you…… !”

Nevertheless, Jibril refuses to admit it to the end. She raised her voice and-.

I calmly tilted her head.

“Isn’t that what it means?”

“That can’t be possible!!”

Jibril screamed loudly.

Ah, the sound of your voice is nice.

Jibril fussed for a while, but then she sighed and sat down on her seat.

Her attitude was as if she thought nothing of it.

“…… Master.”

Instead she said she would say what she had to say.

“No, Dante.”

The moment Djibril’s title to me changed for just a moment, her green eyes began to stare at me with an uneasy feeling.

The emotion contained therein was clearly worry.

Jibril hesitated for a moment even after she stopped him from speaking, but then she bit her lower lip slightly and continued speaking.

“This journey will probably be incomparably more dangerous than before. “Perhaps nothing can be compared to that day when she was able to return safely despite meeting the Dragon Emperor.”

“… ….”

“To put it bluntly, you could die.”

As she looked up at me, my expression hardened at the words she said.

And after a short silence, I ask again.

“Have you seen that ‘future’?”

I asked him if he had seen the scene of my death in his dream.

Should I say it is fortunate? She immediately shook her head.

“Not really. “I could see the possibility of you getting seriously hurt, a part of the future like that.”

And the answer that came back was that it was not as dangerous as I thought.

I nodded with a little relief.

“It means you won’t die.”

Is it just that he didn’t like my nonchalant muttering?

“…… However, we should not act as if survival is confirmed.”

Jibril lowered her voice slightly and spat out her words as if threatening me.

However, the thought contained in that expression was still clear.

“I could really die at that time. Because the future seen by the stars is not that absolute.”

Immediately, she sighed loudly and straightened up.

The top of my head didn’t seem to hurt anymore.

Whether I thought that or not, she didn’t care and just kept going.

Stride. He approaches where I am sitting and kneels again.

If I were to explain it, should I say that her fingertips are almost touching the top of my foot?

I couldn’t help but flinch for a moment.

I had the impression that this had become a composition that could not help but feel mysterious…….

This time, there was no trace of playfulness in Jibril’s expression.

Soon, she carefully stretched her arm upward and took my hand.

A soft hand sweeps across my palm.

Are they trying to leave a message?

No, are you drawing a pattern?

The short question I had could not go on any longer.

Sparkle!

Before that, my palm suddenly started to glow.

I frowned gently.

“…… This.”

The next moment I opened my eyes, a faintly colored six-pointed star appeared on the inside of my palm, and then disappeared inside as if it was absorbed.

I blinked and looked at Jibril.

“…… “It’s a blessing from the stars.”

She looked very tired in this short period of time and answered my question.

“Should I call it my special ability, the five secrets of astrology? “In this land of demons, where magic using the power of nature is blocked, this may be the help I can give you.”

“…… “That means.”

“There will be a miracle at least once. “By the power of the stars.”

Jibril smiled bitterly at my question. And, as if she were not confident, she added, ‘Even so, it wouldn’t be much compared to the blessing given by the saint.’

I looked down for a moment at my palm, where the star pattern had disappeared.

I’m not sure, but as she said, it was a pattern that had quite a bit of power.

It feels like a little vitality is growing in my body somehow.

I paused briefly and then looked back at Jibril.

And then he blurts out the words foolishly.

“…… Maybe this pattern…….”

-Is this a gift with the same meaning as the priest’s rosary?

, I was about to ask, but I finally regained my objective perspective and stopped her.

But I couldn’t be relieved.

This is because Jibril’s expression as he looked at me had already changed, as if he was looking at a man who felt sorry for the world.

…… It’s like f*cking mind reading.

I cleared my throat briefly and said.

“Forget it.”

“…… Hmm.”

Of course, Jibril didn’t listen to what I said.

A mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

“I certainly have favorable feelings toward you. But my feelings aren’t deep enough to warrant an awkward proposal like this.”

“…… “Do you want me to forget it?”

I, feeling embarrassed by her, for no reason raised my voice and glared at her.

However, her smile did not disappear.

“So this is what I’m saying.”

Unlike her usual regretful appearance, this time she wore a benevolent smile.

She stroked my hand again and looked up at me from underneath her.

“…… Don’t die. And then come back. “If you want my feelings to develop into love for you.”

“… ….”

I couldn’t say anything to her unusually serious appearance.

She just kept her mouth shut for a long, long time and then-.

“…… “I will do that.”

She just nodded with a truly idiotic expression and voice.
