chapter 16
Episode 16. Is your name a unicorn?
There are a total of four denominations based in the school district of Maris.
There are four forces with sky-high belonging coexisting in one place, but Mariel insisted that this academy has grown by instigating the conflict that arises from it.
Hey, resigning from here would be perfect for being ridiculed for losing in the war of religion.
“However, even such a battle of pride is moving in a positive direction after the war. Until now, each church had focused on establishing a foundation in this academy and increasing its stake, but now they are considering extending their influence to other countries starting with this academy.”
“That’s… Kind of surprising.”
In the case of a closed group like the church, you have to be very careful about interfering with outside forces or culture.
In such a situation, allowing a church established in another country to enter its sphere of influence was something that could be said to be unusual on this continent.
“But there is something more important than that. It’s not like there are only four churches on this continent.”
Yes, the recruitment of the new forces.
During the war, churches that paid little attention to missionary work abroad are finally trying to establish themselves in this land under the pretext of an era of peace.
The key is which church it is, but…
“Do you know Heide, the god of the underworld?”
“…It’s strange not knowing.”
The Church of Heide, which serves the god of the underworld.
As the name suggests, it served things related to death, and it was also a place with a huge approval rating during the last war.
In a battlefield, people die like dogs, and there are bound to be an overwhelming number of people who want to borrow their help for a funeral.
In the medical powerhouse where I studied, Heide’s followers even built a church.
Medicine can replace divine power to some extent, but at a funeral, the only thing that’s done is an autopsy.
“So, what am I going to do about those followers of Heide settling here?”
“We decided to set up the site, because the church is planning to send a very valuable person here. So, before the visit, I plan to send an envoy to our side as well, but I thought it would be better to send a teacher representing the academy.”
“…Are you saying I’m going to meet you?”
“You don’t have to go very far~ They’re on their way here anyway, so just join them at the gateway crossing the border and come together.”
Street isn’t much of a problem.
Even if it takes a long time anyway, it’s a mess at the health room. You just need to fill in one of the followers in Academy City.
The problem was the authority I had within this academy.
“With all due respect, I’m just a rookie who just became a teacher…”
Yes, in the first place, my external status was nothing more than a commoner and a war veteran.
As the health teacher has the lowest authority within the academy, it could be said that it is unreasonable to represent it.
Sending such a low-quality existence to meet you.
Won’t it be considered a humiliation even on the part of the church?
“I think Seine is the most suitable. Yes, Seine is the most trustworthy person I know.”
Nevertheless, Mari El was showing her trust in me with a Betsy smile.
Is it because he likes me?
Or maybe the reason I fell in love was based on that kind of trust.
“…… How much will you pay for the request?”
Of course, we have to distinguish between public and private life.
As an employed person, you will have to separate personal relationships and public parts, and make thorough calculations.
“Yeah, Seine only talks about money again.”
“I can’t help it even if you say I’m cold. In the first place, this case is outside of regular work.”
Wasn’t that actually stated in the contract?
Additional allowances are incurred in case of additional work other than regular work or personal request.
That was not as a teacher, but as an extension of the mercenary contract hired by the Aries family, but I couldn’t just ignore it if it was a personal nomination request.
“If you have that much money, why don’t you marry me? If you marry me, the grand duchess will be yours.”
“…How can I marry you when I am not even a man?”
“I like Seine, not men?”
If you want to see your grandfather sobbing, you keep doing that.
Damn it, the Grand Duchess Aries is ruined.
***
Well, anyway, I’m fed up with staying at night in the health room.
I immediately accepted the request with the intention of earning an incentive, and headed straight to the stable to get ready to go out of the academy.
-Purreung, Puhihing!
Horses with glossy fur nestled in cages.
Even though it was optional, the scale and level of management of the stables were considerable as there was horseback riding in the liberal arts class.
“Oh, are you a health teacher?”
And the one who greeted me when I arrived there was a high school male student belonging to the breeding club.
I smiled favorably at the man who recognized it immediately after seeing the white gown.
“I came here to borrow a horse. Is the teacher around?”
“Oh yes, you are going out for a while. If you need words, you can talk to me. Just fill out the list and I’ll take it out right away.”
“That is fortunate.”
No matter how hard it is to go to the gateway at the end of the border, it will take half a day.
If that’s enough, the opponent might move freely without waiting.
I’m going to represent the academy in my own way, but can’t I show ugliness by being late from the start?
“Do you have any favorite words? If you want a breed, I’ll tell you right away.”
“No, I’ll look around and decide. I prefer like-minded friends over breeds.”
It is said that horses are bloodlines, but in my experience, it was best to choose a guy who listens well to horses unless speed is everything like horse racing.
Think about having a follicle-like temper at that speed. Shouldn’t you be prepared to be one of the three abos the moment you sit in the saddle?
“The kids on this side here are the most docile. Why don’t you take a ride and then decide?”
“I don’t think that would be too bad, but I have to leave right now… Hm?”
It took a while to look around the horses under the guidance of a student from the breeding department.
Suddenly, I found a horse isolated in the deepest part of the stable.
A horse with shiny white fur. However, the muscles of the legs were thick enough to be compared to other horses.
I don’t know the breed, but I know how to see muscles and bones as much as I’m a surgeon.
Instinctively, I sensed that the physique of the guy I saw was superior to that of other horses.
“… Why did you leave him alone?”
“Ah, that kid is called Unicorn. He has such a fierce temper that he can’t get along with other horses, and the teacher in charge is quite troublesome to deal with.”
“Your name is Unicorn?”
“That kid is actually… ….”
“No, I think I can understand it roughly without listening to the explanation.”
It would be obvious if it was named like that in the game world.
-Purreung!!
As if that prediction came true, our unicorn howled violently as soon as a male student approached.
It was so ferocious that even a male student from the breeding department with a good physique hid behind me with a hiss.
Why do you tease me like this? A grown-up boy wastes pepper.
-Kudangtang Kung!!
…Ah, so the developers started with castration when they brought us here.
Looking at a man and seeing a unicorn crashing into us, I wondered if this world would be too harsh for a man to live in.
Of course, it doesn’t even matter right now.
“Hello little boy. Is the poor old maid who couldn’t forget her first love also an object of ostracism by your standards?”
-…… Purung?
As I spoke straight forward, the unicorn started staring at me in front of me.
However, even after time passes, there is no sign of rampage.
I stretched out his hand just in case, and he slipped his head into my hand.
The act of accepting a hand is goodwill itself. Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be an extreme case like the worship of Simgiche.
Still, it’s embarrassing that she’s a musme who only gets horny with her virgins…….
-Puhihing.
… Oh
If you look closely, it’s not Musume, it’s Musume.
Isn’t it just a misogyny, not a virgin?
“I will take care of this.”
As long as you’re obedient, it’ll be fine.
“Are you really okay?”
“It’s okay~ Sensei rode a lot of horses even when he was young.”
Because the battlefield is so wide, there were quite a few sections where you couldn’t advance without riding a horse.
Of course, it is possible to move faster than a horse if it is a foot method using mana, but even those who are called perfect superhumans have limits in their physical strength.
Moreover, as I often have night shifts, the physical burden is not small…….
– Staggering.
… Damn it.
Are you physically at your limit?
“Oh, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, it’s just that I’m a bit dazed.”
I grabbed the horse’s reins, straightening my staggering body before climbing into the saddle.
Our unicorn-san squeaks at my signal.
After that, as soon as I left the breeding department and went to the academy’s horseback riding exit, my head leaned against the unicorn’s neck.
– Heeing.
“Sorry, it’ll take a while.”
Damn it, should I just give the money back and go to sleep?
No. Mariel’s request isn’t just about money.
Something big happened frequently after I ordered it, so it may come back as it is and come back later.
Let’s just think that this is my fault for failing to manage my condition.
“…I can’t help it. I don’t want to call it out on something like this, but the situation is the situation.”
Soon after correcting my daze, I clasped my hands together and silently recited a prayer.
And…
“Clé, if you can hear me, please come out.”
The moment I finish praying, a pure white glow rises in front of me.
It was the moment when the ‘God of Medicine Clea’ I served became materialized in this place.
