Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

128 – Karma is piling up

“So you just ran away like that? … … … under… The professor is also really great. It’s not a child… ”

“shut up. I was embarrassed in my own way. Who would have thought that it would suddenly appear in that situation? Even though I tried to act calm, imagine being caught shouting ‘breasts’ right in front of your eyes. “Do you know what it feels like to have your mom find out that you have a dirty book hidden under a drawer?”

“… “Of course I don’t know.”

“A romanticless b*stard.”

“Are you saying that two professors are like mothers?”

“… … … “Wouldn’t Professor Aegis be able to do this?”

“Let’s not think and answer with such a serious expression. “Even the same man may have limitations in understanding, Professor.”

“He’s also picky.”

“Anyone can see that this was the professor’s fault. “Let’s admit it clearly.”

“Are you saying that too, Ignis?”

I drank the remaining alcohol in my cup in one gulp. The strong scent of coffee rises from the strong whiskey, and the spicy scent of sweet whipped cream, lemon juice, and chili fills the mouth. Even as I was slowly getting drunk, I ordered one more drink.

“I’m even more surprised that the professor thought good things would come out of my mouth.”

Ignis shrugged his shoulders with a pitiful expression, so I ordered an additional special recipe just for him with a bit of revenge.

The master explains that this is a new menu item that includes sliced ​​eggplants boiled in hot strong liquor, lit on fire, sweet marshmallows, coke-flavored ice cream, vinegar, and red pepper powder.

It was a curious drink that even I, who had no prejudices when it came to alcohol, burst out laughing as soon as I took the first sip.

But Ignis calmly tilted his glass.

“… “It has a unique taste.”

“Are you really drinking it…?” “He’s crazy.”

“Alcohol bought by someone else tastes better.”

“If you pick up and eat too much, you’ll get sick. “Undine and Madam Diss are sad.”

“Undine won’t care what happens to me as long as the professor is there, right? … … By the way, what happened to what we were talking about earlier? “Is it just the professor who ran away?”

“Anastasia bought me some time so I ran out in the meantime. maybe… If I go back, I might die. “I hope Anastasia will clear up any misunderstandings.”

“I’m passing the blame, this time too.”

“Anastasia is also at fault? “If his condition wasn’t so strange, he wouldn’t have done such a ridiculous thing.”

“There is nothing wrong with the level of excuses. … But what? Her condition? Where was the princess in pain?”

“I told you. I gave him the second holy sword, but he was so excited that he couldn’t come to his senses. “I heard from Cecilia and her maids that she hasn’t been able to sleep well these past few days.”

“aha. It may be sudden, but the princess has achieved her dream. “It’s worth it.”

“My dream came true… … ”

I, who never had very fond memories of the Holy Sword, shrugged my shoulders while sipping my drink.

“… Well, he’s a hundred times better than me, so he’ll do something.”

“Isn’t it better to say that directly? “I would be happy if my teacher said that.”

“done. “It feels strange.”

“You are unnecessarily strict, Master.”

Ignis, who was smiling softly, continued speaking as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“Oh right. professor. By the way, the chairman called me earlier. “Go with Lin.”

“… … hmm? With Lin?”

***

The Chairman’s call was somewhat expected.

In fact, I’m starting to wonder if it’s too late.

If the Chairman calls me at this point, it will most likely be because of something related to Lee Min-ah, the newest warrior of the Sixth Holy Sword.

In fact, it was clear that the Chairman’s position would be more difficult than that of the other warriors.

I heard that the warriors who disobeyed the emperor’s orders and did not cooperate were scattered and protested. It must have been burdensome in many ways for the imperial family to blindly fight them, but in the end, it seemed to have focused on using Lee Min-ah to carry out a somewhat coercive act of ‘retrieving the Holy Sword’, in other words, acknowledging a certain degree of armed conflict. It is no different from this.

Worrying about the Third Holy Sword, who usually wandered around like a mercenary, or the Crown Prince, who until recently guarded the front lines in the snowy fields, was almost a luxury. If the situation is not favorable for the two, they can escape to the snowy fields and escape the empire’s tracking network. The 5th Holy Sword has remained vacant for several years, so in the end, only the hero of the 4th Holy Sword, the Chairman, remains.

In many ways, the Academy escapes the reach of the empire and enjoys transcendent legal authority. This is a long-standing policy of the Empire that has improved the independence of the few academies in the Empire, so no matter how self-righteous and arrogant the emperor is, he is bound to feel some political burden even if he uses his authority to suppress it.

However, simply looking at his position, the chairman, who could not leave his seat without permission due to his status as chairman, would have had no choice but to be wary of the popcorn-like anomaly of the emperor, as he simply believed in imperial traditions.

I guess calling me this time is in a similar vein.

If there’s something a little strange, it’s Ignis’ message to ‘take Rin with you.’

Freya, Undine, and even Cecilia, who is related to the 6th Holy Sword of Sentai, are calling Rin out of the blue?

“Ah, Lin. “Do you want to eat this?”

“yes? yes?”

“I heard this is a new menu. “I’ll buy you one.”

Because the academy’s campus is an unnecessarily large site, there are various famous stores located on the campus.

In particular, I heard that the recently opened dessert shop has received a lot of support from students and is increasing its sales every day.

When I wrapped two waffles from the new menu posted on the sign outside and put one into Lin’s hand, Lin took a big bite of the waffle with sparkling eyes. As she puts the cream on her mouth and eats it, I, who bought it for her, feel the greatest satisfaction.

“oh… brother!”

“huh?”

“cow… .. Job… Can I have a baby… ?”

“Catching you? “What?”

I couldn’t hear the voice well, so I lowered my posture and put it to my ear. Then Lin Yi shouted loudly in her trembling voice.

“brother! hand! Even if you catch it! Will it work!”

… … My ears hurt, Lina.

However, the way he clenched his fern-like fists and closed his eyes tightly was so cute that I felt like his corneas were enjoying the luxury of trading them for my eardrums.

Small wings fluttering.

The wings of the Vanir gods degenerated when they were abandoned by the goddess, and they have long since lost their ability to fly.

The sight of those cute wings flapping frantically… Aww, it’s cute.

“of course.”

I couldn’t erase the wrinkles from my mouth and held Rin’s hand.

Soft. Wow. It feels like my skin is fiddling with soft dough. I indulged in the soft, soft, soft texture as if I was fascinated by the sense of touch.

Rin smiled brightly, but when I pinched her cheek, she closed her eyes tightly, probably feeling itchy and embarrassed.

“How… How… … Haha… … ”

While I was teasing and pinching my waffle whipped cream-covered cheekbones without any blemishes, I lost my temper and made the mistake of not even noticing the fact that I could sense someone from the building across from me.

“Professors! Listen carefully. “Our teacher is not the type of person to do that.”

“Phew, okay. Princess. Are you saying that Professor Aegis and I misunderstood? i know. Actually, I was thinking that way too. This hasn’t been the first time this has happened since last time. “I don’t know if Eugene is unlucky or if I am unlucky.”

“yes! I was so happy to receive the Holy Sword that I just acted a little strange. Even if the Master is so consumed by s*xual desire that he cannot use his hands and feet when it comes to women, he is not the kind of person who would recklessly do such an insidious thing to his disciple. … … … … .”

“Of course~♪ Professor Freya. Shouldn’t you have faith ~ ♪ Professor Neferna likes children, but she is never the type of person to mistreat her students ~.”

“Hyuyu, wasn’t Professor Aegis in the same position as me earlier? Flip your attitude like flipping your palm… … … … ..”

“what? Princess? Professor Freya? You suddenly become so stiff and where are you looking… … … … . Oh my… Wow… .”

Ran poked my shoulder with a slightly scared look. Suddenly, I looked around her wondering why, and only then did I find three people surrounding me.

“… … Hmm. “I think this is also a misunderstanding.”

“Oh my~♪ I’m holding Rin’s hand and touching her cheek~♪ I’m glad you look happy~♪”

“Master! I was covering like crazy, but if I mess this up… ! Ahhh! “I’m going crazy!”

There is no time to think.

“『The helpless steps approaching the new form of the wind, that fleeting moment to me』”

“『I will refine my iron will and forge my sword, show my strong and sharp body』”

Imperial standard version. Acceleration and strengthening the body.

With a series of magic, he hugged Rin and ran.

“Lina! run!”

Although I am holding it.

***

“Haha! Professor Neferna! It hasn’t changed since then! “Then it wouldn’t be surprising if I got stabbed sooner or later!”

Seup, ha! Seup, ha!

Heat radiates from the chairman’s shiny shaved head along with his regular breathing. It is amazing to see a huge iron ball being lifted over and over again in an undisturbed position.

“Gasp… You don’t have to worry about me. by the way… omg… “Didn’t you say you invited Rin and me together?”

“… … ?”

Rin, who didn’t understand why, blinked. The chairman put down the iron ball with a kind smile on his face.

“It’s no big deal. “I heard that Lin has a good attitude in class and is getting excellent grades these days.”

“haha… Dang… Cough! Off to school… “Cluck cluck!”

I was trying to laugh out loud, but ended up getting caught in the trash. Lin is so excited! pats me on the back

“Seup! yes Of course! Hahaha! Who taught it? Isn’t it natural! Lin Yi is a talented person who will become a great wizard in the future! I can vouch for her as I have even tutored her myself. Lin is a talent her academy cannot afford to miss. She’s a great resource. “No matter what kind of advisor she gets in the future.”

“oh… Brother… ”

Lin Yi lowered her bright red face. The chairman nodded with a meaningful expression, as if she had guessed my reaction in advance.

“Hmm… Anyway, I can’t help but praise this remarkable growth of our academy’s youngest student. “I’m planning to give Lin a special reward.”

“Hehe! My heart feels warm. It would be impossible to praise Rin’s achievements with any kind of award. She seems confident. Chairman.”

“Of course.”

The chairman’s finger pointed to the stinging sunlight.

“So, we have prepared the best resort villa in the empire.”
