Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

22 – Reversal (5)

It was a very girly reaction, so I said let’s go after one more hour. She nods her head obediently. Seeing how many times he stabbed my calf after that, it seems like time has passed. I went to the restaurant in the basement and asked how much I read.

“About two hundred pages.”

“So how did the raccoon repay the favor?”

Excited, he tries to tell the story he read from beginning to end. I listened in moderation to my mind without hesitation. Kite should let her do it if she has a story she wants to tell. Otherwise, after a long time, she suddenly joins her words together.

“Isn’t that Leah?”

I bought only bread and water for a simple snack, and I saw a familiar backside. She doesn’t stop eating and blinks, wondering if she saw us too. With that small body and blurry eyes, she was definitely a phile lady.

“Coming this way?”

The unfocused eyes became clearer. He got up, took all the bread he was eating, and came to us. Then he just stood still, without saying a word.

“Where is the professor?”

Then he pretends to drink something with both hands. Seeing as he grabs her nose right away, it seems to mean he went out for a drink. She followed us, holding on to the hem of Kite’s skirt the whole time.

“Do you want to eat together?”

He nodded without saying anything. After being alone, Kite looks awkward as well.

“Kite, are you going to spread some jam on it?”

He stuffed the bread into his mouth and answered with a weak pronunciation. She whispered to Leah inaudible.

“Is your ankle all right?”

He exhaled a hot breath and said yes.

“Then, when you practice archery, run as much as you ate.”

Even though she is in tears, she nods her head. It’s slower than before, but these words don’t seem to reduce my appetite. Still, there is a conscience. A few are loaded with jam and handed to Ria. We had a moderate small talk and went upstairs again. Hurrying, Leah packed her things and stood between us.

“Is Leah going to study too?”

Kite whispered sweetly, bringing the focus back to her dim eyes.

“I feel lonely.”

Only after saying that, he blinked his eyes. Kite also looked up at me, and she noticed her asking what to do, so she said, why don’t we study together with the three of us?

“Yeah, I can, I can, I get it.”

“We’re going to have dinner together tonight anyway.”

Kite held Lia’s hand. Fifteen, the color of her child’s face, who couldn’t be seen at that age, turned red. The three of us went up together and studied for about two more hours. Puppy, I heard a nasty breathing sound and looked ahead.

“Ria must have fallen asleep.”

“He doesn’t even study?”

It actually did. He didn’t bring a book, and he fell asleep while spying on what Kite was looking at.

“Mysteriously, all the kids like you.”

“Yeah, they say I smell like mom.”

─I can’t smell anything other than sweat and the smell of cookies. Are the kids any different?

“I’m going to stay a little longer because of my assignment.”

“I don’t even have money to eat dinner by myself.”

“Should I give it to you?”

“I want to stay here. Will you disturb me if you are with me?”

I feel like I’ve read all the books, but it’s coming. Now, he asked me to wait here, so I asked for charcoal. I wrote down the important parts of what I read today and summarized them. In general, these were the grounds for criticizing Yoo Jae-ron.

Enboza Mensi supports this, but it seems to me that the logic is poor. Rather, theism claimed in theology was much more persuasive. I drew a diagram in my notebook and added a commentary below, and Kite looked at me graciously.

“Why are you laughing sinisterly?”

“No, because it is like this. It feels strange because it feels like my family came to the library.”

“Is the mother sleeping?”

This time, he puts his toes up and pinches my thighs. Since he learned gymnastics and ballet when he was young, his toe strength is quite strong. Even now, they say what kind of exercise they do every night, but they never let me know, so I don’t know the details. I ignored it and continued reading. After about an hour, Kite was also asleep, breathing soundly.

“If someone sees it, they will speak again.”

Resting her head on her own breast as a cushion. How many women can do this? When she saw the fake mother and daughter pathetically sleeping in the library, she felt sad that there were no normal women around her. Wanting to play a joke, I wrote on the back of Kite’s hand with charcoal.

「I only eat and sleep, so I gain weight.」

Lea followed us unnoticed until we went out for dinner. She continued to speak silently, then blurted out.

“I have no money.”

—What do you mean?

“Pay back later.”

I said only that far and grabbed the hem of Kite’s skirt. At this point, even my good-natured childhood friend would be a little annoying. Ahahahaha, it means that it is burdensome to see him smiling awkwardly. Soon after, she sat down in a restaurant illuminated by the evening sun and ordered a moderate amount, and Leah kept licking her lips. He looked like he was under pressure to say something, so I didn’t care.

“Kite, the raccoon that repaid the favor earlier.”

“Yes.”

“I forgot everything about that, but can you tell me again?”

By squinting in one eye, I conveyed my intention. Then Kite joked about how the raccoon had repaid her favor in a bizarre way. Suddenly Leah.

“Fun.”

With a dry voice, she looked up at Kite with strength in her clear pronunciation. Now pull up to her hand, it’s her sister. She said she did, but immediately lowered her pupils. I watched it because it felt like something was off.

“Lia, are you in a bad mood?”

“No.”

“Should I tell you about the raccoon next time?”

“I lack social skills. It bothered me. I don’t know because I don’t have any friends.”

─This is maybe.

“Kite, would you like a drink?”

“Ugh…… As long as it’s warm, I think it’ll be fine.”

“I have no money. It pays off though I want to drink.”

It’s not strange because he’s a genius.

“How far did you talk?”

“Now, the third part is to repay the favor. Well then, hmmm. I’ll try again.”

Kite’s coquettish voice really suited the realization of her fairy tale. Leah continued to play with her hand with her twinkling eyes again.

“I want to hear more.”

Leah kept repeating those words before she knew it, and she began to doze off with her head buried in Kite’s belly.

“Kite, don’t you think he’s 15?”

“I guess so.”

I don’t know why Enboza Menshi lied to us, but I don’t see him as a 15-year-old’s mind or body. We don’t need to know the details, so let’s stop guessing.

“I need to take you to the dormitory.”

“I don’t even know where he lives. What should I do?”

“You idiot, you can ask at the superintendent’s office. You can’t even think of that.”

He only fiddles with his fingers without speaking. I don’t want to do that, but why am I teasing my tongue so much?

“Let’s go to the dormitory together.”

“Yes, I will do as you say.”

“No, you have to tell me what you mean so I can follow you.”

It’s the acting lord,” He said, then looked at the sky as dusk began to set. Her words didn’t come out right away, so she looked at Kite again and was a bit harsh. He just said out loud. With a warm smile.

“Because even fools get hurt.”

Lea didn’t wake up, so I hugged her like a princess. Kite groaned softly as he checked to see if he had forgotten anything. Lia’s pendant fell off. She took care of herself and went to the housekeeper’s office. After explaining the circumstances, he gave her room number. However, only women are allowed to enter.

“My, I will carry it!”

I was curious about his strength, so I obediently accepted it, and immediately fell to the floor and both fell face down. Leah, stunned by her anger, burst into tears at her belated pain. Kite, too, brought tears to her eyes as she continued to spit on her skinned knees.

─You fools, idiots, and mojiri-like colleagues of mine.

“That’s great, she’s up now, so she walks up on her own feet.”

The two of them stopped at each landing, chattered, and parted ways on the fourth floor. When Kite disappeared, Lia went back down her stairs and opened the leftmost door on the second floor. As you can see, it was a room used by top students. Looking at it from afar, I wrote on a public stationery for the first time in a long time.

「Kite, you really are a good kid.」

I couldn’t fit it all in one page, so I pulled out another one and wrote it. It was a luxury for me.

「I will try to become a good person like you.」

I didn’t send it. If she did, Kite, whom she met tomorrow, would be walking around gently on her ass.

“Did you study?”

When I entered the room and asked Trey-senpai, her eyes widened. I wondered what Madou was studying so hard. Looking at Lia today, she didn’t have any of that, but she used a lot of magic. Let her ask the reason for studying.

“Because I chose an academic career.”

“What is that?”

“I wonder if you would know if I told you about dedicating my life to proving driving forces.”

After saying it sarcastically, I notice that I’m sorry for nothing.

“Since I have to inherit the family, I can’t do anything like a battle mage.”

“Senior, is it Lia phile?”

“They don’t even listen to me.”

I looked at the desk and asked where all the chocolates were. Kellogg, he coughed three times in a row as if he had been caught. No matter how you look at it, my roommate is a neutral person, and although he acts like a girl, he has a taste for teasing.

“Are you being ostracized in the magical arts?”

“Of course not.”

“Why, is there any reason to check?”

Tray-senpai explained in detail the situation Lia was in and the psychological resistance of the magician cadets. I thought she was picky, but she is surprisingly easy to get along with. I just like it when you listen to her to the end without interrupting her words. Maybe she grew up in an environment where her seniors could easily ignore her opinions.

“So you’re saying everyone pretends not to know?”

“Mado is always like that. Everyone is timid and doesn’t get along, but since it’s me, they mix words with you.”

─Let’s raise our hands to those who have been excitedly talking alone for over an hour. Yes, *Lady Elonte. Don’t you know yourself well?

“Enboza Menshi did something wrong.”

“That’s right, you have to listen to the professor to know.”

“I have another question.”

“Stop asking questions. I can’t study because of you.”

“Senior, your skills grow as you teach. Who am I asking this question to?”

Everyone must be pissed off, and he laughs bitterly at the fact that there is no one who can explain things as well as his seniors. Seriously, it’s disgusting to death, but the more I watch it, the more I get used to it and it’s funny.

“I read all the books today. But, I think theism is more appropriate.”

“I support Yoo Jae-ron unconditionally.”

“Why?”

“You said the professor supported you. Do you really need to write an eye-catching argument?”

I don’t like it, he said very frankly.

From my point of view, the famous theory is very nonsense, and the Yoo Jae theory is just as weak, so I can only sigh. Even so, he continues to persuade, and picks up a pen, perhaps feeling annoyed. Then I put a piece of paper on my forehead and hold up a book. It is poisonous. Even if you talk to them, only the reading volume increases.

「Go to the Bersia Brotherhood and meet her saintess.」

It was just written on the note.
