chapter 251
251.For Me, Harem…Is an Ordeal (3)
“…You are amazing.”
Recent Articles This was what Lewis, who was busy with the undergraduate training program, said as soon as he saw me. I opened my mouth to respond to what he said, but he chose to keep my mouth shut and not use my vocal cords.
Of course, it was because of Elisa and Karina sitting on either side of me and Milia sitting across from me. It seems like it’s barely noticeable, but it’s natural for people to glance at that strange arrangement.
I took in the conversations coming from both sides of me and looked at the people around me.
See.
There are a few people watching.
…Is there any meaning in sleeping without showing off?
I think the rumor about the neighborhood has already spread.
Martina and her friends have already exchanged congratulatory words with Elisa, and the theological department is now glaring at me as if they were going to kill me.
Hey, even if I were Harpas, it would be difficult for me to receive this much attention.
“John, do you have no appetite?”
“…No, I was a little concerned about the gaze.”
“Ah…”
“Gwae, it’s okay…Uh, you can’t do anything else than staring anyway…”
“Ordinary people would do that.”
But there are some unusual people in this school, right? I repeated the words I had not said out loud and looked at the seminarian from afar who was glaring at us, or rather at me, with the face of a beast.
“…I think I’m trying to be too overprotective.”
“Do not worry. “I will stop you from doing unnecessary things.”
No matter how hard you try, it’s only one day as a new student. Whether I take the paladin course or the general priest course, in front of me it’s just a piece of shit. If you get caught, grab Harpas and come back. Of course, I didn’t catch it fairly, but anyway.
“Karina, don’t worry too much. Because that’s what the life of a superstar is like.”
There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s still something that drives people crazy.
“Superstar… ?”
Karina’s head tilted to the side. She was worried that the tilted veil would swing dangerously over the bowl and bury it, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.
“…Famousness meant that an individual could not do anything about it.”
“Oh, you mean that?”
Karina smiled softly at my words. It was hard to take my eyes off her deathly smile. She’s still worth it though…
I tried to look away and looked back at Elisa, who was holding my hand tightly.
“Elisa, what are you doing?”
“Oh…So, I want to hold your hand…”
Are you saying you want to blatantly hold hands even though it’s hard to see thanks to the tablecloth? I thought about it for a moment and then just left it alone. It seems like she’s already gotten tired of hiding things, and compared to the saint of the continent’s largest religion, Elisha had a presence the size of a firefly.
“Hehe…”
“Is it really that good just holding hands?”
“It’s okay if I just hold your hand…”
I’m a little excited, but I’m not sure if I’ll be that happy. I looked down at Elisa’s touch her her as it tickled my palm and looked at her puffy cheek her.
“I want to do it too…”
And don’t put your feet on her knees.
It looks like he’s trying to seduce me because he learned something from somewhere, but it only looks like a child playing around.
“It’s strange, I heard men like it like this…”
“Who did you hear that from?”
“Karin told me! “I’m very interested in these things!”
…Milia’s friendship is a bit uneasy. If you keep going like this, you’ll learn how to be strict, right? The thought of her becoming a testbed for ‘something strict’ makes her dizzy.
If Milia does it, we can laugh it off as just her kids’ prank, but if Elisa or Karina do it…
If…
It’s good, but…
“…John?”
“I’m Johanni…Your expression is strange…”
“It’s just that her knees are itchy.”
That’s it, so just skip it.
“Hehe.”
Why are you smiling? I looked at Milia, her face smiling with a strange sense of accomplishment.
“Mister, you’re trying to hide it, right?”
…I don’t know either.
I shrugged my shoulders at Viola’s point.
——————————-
“John.”
“Why?”
“I just called. Hehe…”
Is this some new joke? I didn’t know why Karina called my name and smiled with satisfaction. If she is satisfied with herself, there is no reason to complain…
“It’s nice to walk alone like this.”
“I don’t think there’s anything different from usual.”
“It’s very different from usual.”
Karina’s veil brushed my arms. As the distance between her and her became narrower, Karina’s body scent flowed into my nose. She has a scent that makes you feel refreshed just by smelling it. Is this a human scent?
“I think John is very insensitive in this area.”
“It’s my first time, so I can’t help it.”
“Even taking that into account.”
“Still, I was very surprised. I never thought John would make such a choice…”
Is it that surprising? I just did it because I thought I would survive if I did that… But the fact that I felt a crush on Karina also played a part. I’m not a eunuch, and we confirmed that we liked each other, so there was no reason not to attack.
If Karina didn’t have that feeling, she would have gone another way.
In the end, it was the option chosen after worrying about a rift in the party.
In the end, my goal is to protect Karina until she graduates from the Academy, and see the end of this world. The ending is that she graduates safely, but it wouldn’t mean anything if the world was destroyed.
I wasn’t even a hero, but I was forced to look like a hero.
“I just thought it was the best. Are you disappointed?”
“No…I thought it was worth it because it was John.”
What does it mean? Looking at her in response, Karina let out her lovely laugh and continued her words.
“John tries to carry everything that comes into his arms. It’s the same with Milia, it’s the same with Elisa… It’s not common for someone to pay that expensive academy tuition for a child who is a stranger.”
“… I only sent it to Milia because she wanted to go to her academy. It’s not that difficult for her to make money-“
“At least as far as I know, Johan is the only person who would do something like that.”
Unlike usual, Karina interrupted me with her stern voice. His tone was as if he was telling me not to say such things. I opened my mouth to say something more, but closed it.
Because it didn’t seem necessary to make excuses.
“Hehe, don’t try to put yourself down too much. The things that John did were the things that could not have been done except by John. “After all, it was Johan who brought us here, right?”
“…I didn’t mean to do that.”
“Even if there was no intention to do so, we were saved thanks to John. Thank you “John.”
“…”
I looked at Karina without saying anything. I couldn’t tell her expression because her face she she was hidden by her veil her her her, but I somehow thought she was smiling.
Still, I think I need to say something.
I spit out the words as they came out of my throat.
“…If you hadn’t been washed up in the sea, I wouldn’t have been able to escape from the deserted island. “I may have been living a crazy life from loneliness and became a family with the zombies that came out of the dungeon.”
“I can’t imagine John being a zombie.”
Zombies. If it were a zombie, I think it would have been at the level of a random mob.
“Oh, it’s already arrived…”
A deep, regretful voice tickled my ears. Are you regretting it? I stopped for a moment and looked at the front door of the theology building. I can feel the eyes of the seminarians.
Very blatantly.
It was so blatant that I could almost see them glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.
“…For the first time, I felt like I wanted to skip school.”
Karina complained in an irritated voice, as if she was sick of this situation.
“Normally I would have stopped you, but this really seems like it could work.”
[Wow, this is no joke… ]
If I were an ordinary man, I think I would have been lynched by now.
“Go in. “Nothing special will happen.”
What can you do other than stare? I rather confidently walked into the theological department building with Karina in tow.

How long do you plan on targeting?
I sighed and glared at the seminarians who were glaring at me even during class.
It might seem like a few hits would be enough, but since they are also students, that would be difficult. In times like this, if we had been students together, I would have decided to fight him in a duel.
Still, I was glad that Karina had gotten used to her gaze. In the past, she had trouble attending classes because she felt burdened, but now she just ignores them and goes to class.
Of course, being free from the curse is the biggest thing…
“Hmm, that’s it for today’s class. “I hope you finish your assignment by next time…”
“Today’s class is over.”
“Good job.”
“John does the hard work.”
I should go back quickly and rest. That was when Karina and I were getting ready to leave.
“Yes, I challenge you to a duel!”
What is this crazy guy?
“It’s you. “What is your name?”
“Ha, it’s Hans!”
“It’s an ominous name.”
For some reason, it’s a name that doesn’t seem like it should be together.
“What?”
“Are you noble?”
“Oh, no!”
“Didn’t you learn it in culture class? “You have to speak politely to nobles.”
“There is no courtesy to a shameless b*stard like you!”
What are you again? I glared at the second male student who was yelling right next to the idiot named Hans. The male student flinched when I glared at him, but he shouted at me as if he believed the students around him.
“You’re trying to touch Karina! As servants of God, it is not our place to sit by and watch shameless people who try to touch God’s daughter! I am Ox Partain! “I will challenge you to a duel!”
“That’s crazy.”
“John, just ignore it and leave.”
“No. “I had a pretty interesting thought…”
I quietly scanned the classroom. I see many people looking at me with hostility.
A fanatic must be beaten to come to his senses.
“If you have any complaints, come to the front and attack me. You two alone won’t be able to give me even a scratch.”

Is it war?
