The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over

20 – The teacher’s obsession is like the sky (complete)

Maybe I was nervous without realizing it?

“No, suddenly… Hiccup, hiccup… Hiccup.”

The hiccups started suddenly and showed no signs of stopping.

“Phew, it looks like our student is really hiding something.”

Daphne poured cold water into a cup and spoke as if she thought I was cute like that.

“No… Hi.”

I was taking a gulp of water and ended up hiccuping again.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Even if we respond calmly, it won’t be enough.

If you’re hiccuping, how suspicious will it be in Master’s eyes?

I thought so.

Surprisingly, the teacher showed a somewhat softened attitude.

“Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve seen our student hiccup.”

“Hibb.”

“Come here for a moment.”

As I sat down next to her, Daphne silently began pressing her fingers on my wrists and around the center of my spine.

“···I think it’s stopped.”

I think about 3 minutes have passed. As if it were a lie, I regained my normal breathing and secretly looked at my teacher’s face.

Then Master’s cherry-like lips opened again.

“Just give it a try.”

“···?”

“This is something our student is planning. I don’t know what it is, but I’m saying give it a try. “This teacher will accept it as much as possible.”

“Are you saying I’m planning something? I just had a sudden hiccup.”

“Okay, let’s say so.”

“···.”

Daphne begins drinking tea again with a shallow smile.

I felt relaxed from her. What can I say? She felt as if she was saying this.

-No matter what you do, it cannot be done to me.

‘You’re not expecting me to leave, are you?’

Even though it was clear that it couldn’t happen, I felt strangely anxious and uneasy.

Could it be that you took a peek into my heart?

Daphne looked at me gently as she placed the teacup on the table, and I, embarrassed by her gaze, turned away.

“When are you planning to leave?”

“Tomorrow. “I plan to be away a little longer this time.”

“Are you saying it should be a little longer?”

“I think it will take about a month.”

“Ha, a month?”

My mouth dropped open at the unexpected good news. Even a week was enough time to run away, but it turned out to be a month.

On the other hand, I was also curious. I wonder what would be worth doing for Master, who is a terrible homebody, to be away for a month.

Did you see my expression like that? Master continued speaking with a smile as bright as a butterfly flower.

“There was a problem I couldn’t solve until now, and this time I found a clue.”

“What’s the problem?”

“It is a very important matter to you and me. So···.”

What issues are important to me and Master? I thought about it carefully, but nothing in particular came to mind.

If anything, it’s just that I am a vessel of sin and a chain that binds my teacher.

This is another problem that Master and I have in common.

The moment I was contemplating alone.

“If you were thinking of running away somewhere, throw everything away. “It’s a very important thing…”

I heard words that hit the nail on the head.

“Puhak!”

After being stabbed properly, I had to squirt out water again.

“···Disciple. “I’ve been curious about this for a long time. Are you doing this on purpose?”

The quiet voice raises the head.

I see Master taking up a lot of the water I spit out. I’m drenched. Drop, drop, I see water droplets falling from platinum hair and pretty face.

“I’m sorry. Master. “I was embarrassed because I had heard something so absurd.”

When I saw that, I jumped up and started wiping away the water mixed with my saliva with a handkerchief.

“···Okay. If you’re smart, you wouldn’t even think about impossible things in the first place. Ahhh… Now, give it a moment. “I’ll clean that part.”

Was it a little embarrassing on that side? Master snatched his handkerchief, turned his head and began wiping the inside of his sundress.

How long has it been? After wiping off all the moisture, Master narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and called to me.

“Disciple. “By the way.”

When I saw that expression, I had to swallow dry saliva. Because that expression was on the verge of hysteria.

“It seems like a girl, I don’t know whether it’s Rose or Peach, came into our territory during the day…”

Sure enough. Master slowly started the engine, citing Rose as usual.

“He came to say goodbye. “I go to the academy.”

“Oh. Okay? That’s good news. I was already a child with many shortcomings. Now, I will never see that unlucky face again… No, hmmm. Now that child can also receive proper teaching.”

But, unlike usual, the teacher’s reaction was strange.

He looked happy, like a commander who heard the news of the death of an enemy general.

“Are you that happy? “He always hated it so much.”

Because I thought that was quite cute, I was able to ask a playful question.

“I hate poetry, but who said I hated it? If anyone hears this, they will think that I am jealous of that child. By the way. Now, take it.”

Master covered his constantly twitching mouth with his left hand, and with his right hand he took out a note from his pocket and handed it to me.

“What is it?”

“Isn’t this teacher going to be away for a month?”

The gaze is directed downward. As I read through the things listed on the note, I let out a deep sigh.

Cleaning, meditation, training, etc. There, my schedule for the month was tightly planned, and looking at it made me feel frustrated.

“Master, it looks like you are missing your break time?”

“You did it on purpose. Just be quiet and watch over your house. “Didn’t we, the disciples, eat the thoughts as if they were eating food as long as the teacher was away?”

“···.”

My mouth was tightly shut. Come to think of it, it was like that during Rose, and we did something about it every year.

“When we return, we will inspect every single thing, so don’t be tricked and make sure you carry out the inspection faithfully.”

“If there is even a speck of dust in the house, if it shows that you have neglected training. And, as I always say, staying out overnight is natural, and if you bring a woman into the house…”

“I believe that the disciple will know better what will happen after that. Even if you run away, it’s no use. As my disciple knows, I planted a tracking spell in your body. So···.”

Daphne, who had raised her mana, smiled and said.

“Don’t think in vain, just stay home.”

When I heard that, I nodded and thought.

If you run away and get caught, you could really die.

****

When I woke up, Daphne was already gone.

As he looked at Master’s poorly made bed, he felt a strange feeling.

Emptiness, emptiness, regret. Those feelings.

Is that so?

“The teacher’s grace~”

I started humming the song.

“It’s like the sky~”

In the meantime, I learned a lot from my heavenly teacher. Although I only received about 10% of the information, it was still enough.

Actually, the teacher is a ridiculous munchkin, so at this level, I should be able to chew the academy to my liking.

“The more you look up to me~”

Honestly, I felt very grateful to Daphne. He saved me from nothing, raised me, and taught me, so I couldn’t help but look up to him sincerely.

“It’s only getting higher.”

But it was too high.

The level of disaster that could occur if I don’t go to the academy.

And the wall of obsession that Daphne has built up until now.

So, I don’t plan on looking up anymore.

If I look up too much, my head hurts.

“We were dirty together, let’s never see each other again.”

As he said that, he was about to go out the door.

I saw a basket I had never seen before placed on the table.

“···.”

What was in the basket were clumsily kneaded bread and a letter.

-I was about to leave my disciple behind, but my heart was so empty that I couldn’t bear it and went into the kitchen. I still paid a lot of attention this time. So please don’t throw it away…

As I was reading the letter, I smiled without realizing it.

Did you use magic this time? The bread that Master kneaded had a rough shape, but the color was fine.

“···.”

I didn’t plan on doing this. Feeling strange, I took out a piece of stationery from the dresser.

I held a piece of poorly kneaded bread in my mouth.

****

After leaving the house, the first place I stopped by was the Adventurer’s Guild building.

“Carmel, if everything you said is true, I will definitely repay you.”

“Yes, you are on your way there anyway, so please make sure to check. I guarantee you that even if you just find the treasures I mentioned, Uncle Martin will become the greatest adventurer on the continent.”

I was passing on information to Martin, an adventurer who was soon heading north on an adventure.

“Oh, just stay still for a moment. “This will really be of great help to you.”

I was able to easily pass on the tracking magic that had been implanted in me.

“Are you some kind of dragon? “I can’t believe that my friend, who is only seventeen, is passing on the magic given to him to others…”

“He’s not a dragon, but he’s a great guy. Ah, uncle. If you go here, be sure to find this person and go with him. Because it’s a place you can’t enter without this person. And···.”

How thankful I am for that fact. When I came to my senses, I was even giving him many useful tips that I didn’t need to tell him.

“I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“Well, wouldn’t it be a world where we help each other? You don’t need anything else, just take the items I mentioned earlier. “I will definitely go find it.”

“I hope the day comes when we can see each other again.”

Martin had tears in his eyes as he grabbed my shoulders with a wistful expression.

When I saw that, I smiled and said goodbye.

“Don’t worry, I will come find you. And thank you.”

It was sincere.

I am grateful that he brings me the tracking magic, but he also said that he will find the hidden piece I need instead.

How can you not be thankful?

****

The next place we stopped by was the cafe run by Jaquel.

“Carmel, are you in any pain?”

“That’s a sad thing to say to someone who bought you a gift.”

“···.”

Mr. Jaquel looked at the bundle of gifts I had bought him with a reluctant expression.

“It seems like our position is solid at this point, so Mr. Jaquel can now take a little break from work. Hire enough people and spend enough time with your family. “You’ve been neglecting your family because you’ve been working, right?”

“Carmel, are you crazy? Or curse magic?”

“I will be away for a while. “I will receive the profits generated in the meantime, so please entrust it to Armad Company in my name.”

“Carmel, I’m really worried about you, but you might be thinking something bad, right?”

Jackel asked in a worried tone, and I took out a notebook and handed it to him and continued what I was saying.

“These are menus that have not been released yet. “I’ve written down what to release by season and year, so if you just do it…”

“Camel!”

Have you been too moved by my kindness? Ms. Jaquel, her eyes watering, hugged me and began to cry.

“No matter how tight the world is, how can you even think about dying at that age? This guy was wrong. So don’t die. “This world is still worth living in!”

What do you mean? I feel this every time, but Mr. Jaquel’s distorted pronunciation was really difficult to understand.

So, after only half-hearing, I pushed away Mr. Jaquel, who smelled like an old man, and said goodbye.

“Thank you so much for everything. Be happy.”

This was also sincere.

Actually, it wouldn’t have been an easy decision.

Believing the absurd words of an 11-year-old and starting a business.

Did I hear more about Jeong than I thought? As she was heading out without any hesitation, her head turned.

“Ugh, huh, how can something so young make such a choice… Ugh!”

Mr. Jaquel was sitting there, crying sadly.

When I saw that, my heart was touched and I had that thought at the same time.

I don’t think we had such a special relationship.

Calmia Silene.

She, a 6th circle mage and professor at Arden Academy’s magic department, asked a middle-aged man with light blonde hair.

“Dian, what are you doing here?”

“Can’t you tell by looking at it? “Aren’t we accepting applications for admission?”

“So, why are you receiving it? “A guy called a professor.”

I heard that her old friend had been appointed to the academy where she was working, so I came to visit.

“I want to see the cadets in advance. You never know. An unknown gem might appear before me.”

The old friend had very good taste.

“I don’t know if you know that the faculty here are feeling very uncomfortable thanks to that brilliant idea.”

“That can’t be possible. “When I visited, everyone seemed very happy.”

“I think it would have to be done by those who are paying attention to that.”

“Are you all uncomfortable with me?”

You are still clueless. Thinking like that, Kalmia placed her hand on her forehead and looked around her.

The staff, who are pale, are desperately smiling and waving that they are okay.

Thank you for all the hard work you did at the warrior party, the old friend who left is smiling brightly and saying, ‘As expected.’

“Hey, Dian. There is no point in being here. The names of the people you might be interested in are already known, and applications for admission have already been submitted. So just calmly prepare for class…”

“Kalmia. Shall we make a bet for the first time in a while?”

“What bet?”

“Will there be a child who interests both you and me today to submit an application for admission? “I bet 500 gold on Onda.”

“Oh my, what…”

Kalmia was dumbfounded. Because she had no choice but to win this bet.

After all, today is the last day to receive applications for admission. All the children who seemed interested had already submitted their applications for admission.

“I don’t need 500 gold, just buy me a drink if you lose. How is it?”

“Of course.”

But Kalmia accepted the bet.

I don’t just hate the confident expression of a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.

Also, to give her a reason to have a drink with her friend after a long time.

That was the reason why Kalmia accepted her ridiculous bet.

She certainly did.

-Ratly.

Kalmia saw a handsome boy coming through the door.

Hair as dark as jet black,

Burning red eyes,

A face so handsome that one would believe it was created by God,

And, strangely, even the sword hanging on her waist.

Except for the fact that he was a little short, his appearance alone was enough to be interesting.

“Oh…!”

Does she think the same way as you?

Dian was even letting out an exclamation.

Of course, unlike herself, Dian was surprised because of the mana the boy possessed.

“What is he…?”

After belatedly realizing the reason, Kalmia’s mouth opened wide.
