chapter 17
17 – The teacher’s obsession is like the sky (1)
I can feel the soft pillows and blankets on my skin. The unique smell of logs gently reaches the tip of your nose.
Sure enough. When I open my eyes, I see the ceiling that I am now used to.
‘Ah, yes. ‘I fainted.’
A situation that begins to be understood as consciousness returns.
‘There was a backlash while fighting Dunkel.’
The moment when I had no choice but to use the power of the ‘vessel of sin.’
The Master appeared like the wind and reduced Dunkel to ashes.
And then I asked. Did he have a woman in his house?
“···.”
My eyes close reflexively. For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t wake up now.
Sure enough, I feel someone outside the door and hear a faint voice.
“···I think I’ve almost finished explaining the situation. Now, take this. “I’ve experienced it once, so I’ll figure it out, but it will be helpful in any situation that might arise.”
It’s been a long time since I heard Master’s normal tone of voice. Who are you talking to?
‘Oh, what about Rose?’
I left Rose at home and went out to deal with Dunkel.
But now I am lying here. This means that Rose and Master encountered each other while they were sleeping.
Gulp, dry saliva is swallowed.
Because, Master has always been telling me to keep two things.
First, do not reveal the location of the log cabin to anyone.
Second, be sure to stay away from women other than yourself.
I once asked a question. Aside from the location of the house, why should I stay away from women?
-“Uh… Didn’t you say that a disciple is a body made of a vessel of sin?”
-“If you get close to a woman whose body and mind are not yet ripe, you will be consumed by ‘lust,’ which is one of the sins.”
Except for the shaking pupils and faintly trembling voice, it was a very plausible answer.
It’s not that I didn’t feel resistance.
I was young, and most of all, I had no experience with women, so I was just doing it.
I said so.
Daphne caught me as I was falling and asked in a voice that sounded like she was suppressing something.
-“Did you happen to bring a woman into our house?
It is not easy to guess. I wonder how Master would have reacted when he saw Rose, who was sleeping peacefully in my bed.
‘Could it be this woman?’
You didn’t harm Rose, right?
“I don’t know how to repay you for this favor… If it weren’t for you, my family…”
A familiar voice heard as imagination moves into the realm of creation.
This is Viscount Darmien. So, does that mean that Master brought the Viscount here?
“Okay, thank you. “Master!”
Rose’s cute, trembling voice was heard right away.
Looking at the way they are saying thank you, it seems that fortunately, what I had imagined did not happen.
“Okay. But why am I your teacher?”
I cringe, my body instantly flinching reflexively at the sound of a voice that clearly felt disapproving.
“I heard you are Carmel’s teacher. Then, wouldn’t you be a lifesaver and teacher to me too? Thank you so much. “Master.”
“Ha… I solved all the hallucination magic and gave you everything to help you, so I wish you would just leave now. “I’m just a little tired.”
Despite her nervousness, Rose answered brightly, and Master gave her a congratulatory command, clearly showing her discomfort.
“We were oblivious. It was late and there were a lot of rude comments. I will not forget this grace. If you need help at any time…”
“It’s okay, so just clean up after yourself. In particular, it would be a good idea to submit any remnants of chaos as evidence in a public setting. And···.”
On the topic of a ban on guests until recently.
The Master began to give Viscount Darmien various advice that would be helpful in dealing with the situation.
“···If you do that, it will be self-defense. Oh, I’ll say it again, my student and I have nothing to do with this matter. Got it?”
“I will keep this in mind. Then, let’s go down slowly. Rose? “Rose, let’s say hello to Lord Daphne and then head down.”
After such a warm conversation, the meeting was about to end.
“Okay, thank you. But Master, I…”
“Well, do you have something to say to me?”
Rose hesitated, trailing off her words, and Master asked back in a strangely sharp voice.
“Well, it’s not like that. “If you don’t mind me being rude, I’d like to say hello to Camel too…”
“Yes. That’s rude. “What kind of greeting would she give to an unconscious child?”
“Still…”
“Ha, do whatever you want.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Do you mean not to call me teacher?
The door is opened with harsh words behind the scenes and you can feel the pretense of popularity.
As I heard Rose’s small, light footsteps, I closed her eyes tightly and pretended to sleep.
It was the right choice. Soon, I started to feel Master’s presence behind Rose.
“Camel.”
A small and delicate hand holds my hand.
“Thank you. And I promise.”
I feel a warm, soft texture in my hands. Seeing that it was as soft as glutinous rice cake, it seemed that Rose had placed her hand on her cheek.
“Just like Carmel said, I won’t be sick from now on. “You won’t hurt yourself.”
“I realized that if I didn’t do that, the people who are so precious to me could get hurt even more.”
“So, I will choose to protect myself rather than get sick.”
The subject was rubbing his cheek with my hand.
Rose spoke to me in a very serious tone.
‘A special thing.’
Even though he is pretending to sleep.
Listening to the monologue of a young child trying to overcome her hardships and get up on her own, her heart was touched.
To be honest, I felt like I wanted to get up right away and pat her head and shower her with praise.
“Okay, it’s over, right? Now stop···.”
If it weren’t for the teacher who didn’t hide his discomfort.
Meanwhile, Rose continued to talk to me, paying no heed to her teacher’s uncomfortable expression.
“Same goes for you. Next time, I will protect you. Camel.”
“Ha!”
In the end, the teacher clicked his tongue.
The moment I opened my eyes wondering what would happen if I continued like this.
-Side.
Moist and soft texture on the cheek.
For a moment, my mind becomes blank.
-Pi Yung.
I heard the sound of something disappearing.
“···.”
I gently opened my eyes. I was wondering what was going on.
Sure enough, there was no one in the room.
It seems that the Master used teleportation to take Rose and Viscount Darmien.
“···Why am I being watched?”
A sudden feeling of self-destruction. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I was being watched.
“Ha.”
I sighed and got up. Maybe it was because I was nervous, but I felt thirsty.
So I drank the water I saw next to the bed.
Glubbing, the cold water soaking my throat, I finally feel like I can live a little.
“What should I say to my teacher…”
Apart from the brief relief, worries begin to creep in again.
I broke the instructions that my teacher had given me, and was even arrested on the spot.
It’s a situation where you can’t even get rid of it and you have to get scolded.
“First of all, let’s sleep today.”
Tomorrow I will take care of getting scolded.
The moment I thought about that and was about to lie down again.
I heard a voice next to me that gave me chills.
“Our student has become more cunning. “I know how to pretend to sleep.”
“Puhak!”
I turned my head to the source of the voice and let out all the water I had been holding.
“hahahaha…”
After being washed with that water, Master opened his eyes wide and made a laughing sound.
“I think you need a little discipline.”
I got up from my seat and started to raise my mana.
“Master.”
Sensing a great sense of crisis from her teeth, I jumped up from her seat and called her calmly.
“Okay. Tell me. “What kind of excuses does our student give?”
“Master!”
No, I had to call him urgently.
“Are you okay?”
This is because the teacher who was raising mana suddenly fell to the ground.
****
This is my first time. To see Master show such weakness.
Master suddenly collapsed earlier. I quickly laid her down on her bed and watched her, trying to nurse her.
‘What on earth is that?’
An intangible chain that can only be seen through the celestial eye is moving, binding Daphne more than usual.
It was like that usually, but today it was even worse.
I tried blowing on her mana and trying to touch her chains, but her intangible chains only bound her tighter.
“Ugh, huh.”
Am I having a nightmare?
Daphne was sobbing and eventually sobbing and muttering.
“Don’t go…”
“No… Please…”
“Why…why on earth…”
“You can make a contract like this as you wish.”
I don’t know what you mean. But strangely, my heart hurts as if it were being torn apart.
Daphne’s face is visible.
A pale face stained with tears,
A sad expression, as if the world had been lost.
What on earth is the story behind this that can cause such severe pain?
“···.”
Unable to bear my sorrow, I held her hand with both hands.
I don’t know what it is, hoping that her pain will subside a little.
The only thing I could do for Daphne was this.
“··· Camel.”
Did I doze off for a while? I heard Master’s soft voice.
“Are you okay? “Have a lot of fun…”
It was the moment I continued speaking when I felt that the intangible chain had quieted down.
Her hands were pulled and her body was led.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, my face is buried somewhere, and I feel a soft, soft pressure.
I was startled and tried to get up, but I couldn’t.
“Let’s just stay like this for a moment.”
“···Yes.”
I felt the body of Master, who only looked like a munchkin, trembling slightly.
“Did I collapse?”
“Yes, I was very surprised. “Maybe it hurts somewhere…”
“It’s okay.”
“But why…”
“Just as you deceived Libra and paid the price, I also paid the price.”
What does this mean? I had doubts, but I didn’t ask any further questions.
For some reason, I feel like it has to be that way.
So I gently patted her on the back.
“Puuu, our student is very cunning as expected. “I knew how to pat my teacher on the back too.”
Then Daphne laughed and hugged me tighter.
It’s a strange feeling. It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about Daphne killing me, but now we can comfort each other.
“Disciple.”
Did I feel my heart pounding?
“In the future.”
Daphne whispered to me in a warm tone.
“Don’t even dream of staying out. “If you don’t want to die.”
It’s called staying out overnight control.
****
I went through a lot.
I learned a lot.
That’s how I turned seventeen.
