Some time had passed since Trainee A came to this world.

Recently, Trainee A’s attitude toward class has been poor.

I don’t know what he was doing alone in his room all night, but seeing the bags under his eyes made me think it couldn’t be a good thing.

She watched her student dissatisfied.

When Trainee A raised her head and saw herself, she turned her head away as if nothing had happened.

“Hmph. Do you think it will change anything if you look at it that way?”

Faberde was angry.

To use a childish phrase, she was upset.

I wasn’t narrow-minded enough to get upset because Trainee A had a bad attitude in class.

only. This is because recently, Trainee A has been strangely avoiding him.

He didn’t even say hello in the morning like he did every day.

Even if you talk to them from this side, the answer is something like “uhyeongbuyeong” or something like that.

We didn’t talk during meals, and we didn’t even tell him the cheap romance stories he sometimes told us.

‘If you have any complaints, speak out.’

When I first felt that trainee A was avoiding me, I tried to talk to him.

But he avoided conversation, saying it was the same as usual and what was the problem.

I feel sick as if I ate a hundred sweet potatoes.

Is it the same as usual? The guy who always greeted me and spoke to me first during meal times…!

Anyway, Trainee A’s attitude has been very arrogant these days.

I’m definitely not doing this because I’m curious about the scene behind the protagonist’s sobbing after the death of the count, who was his enemy, fiancé, and terminally ill.

In her experience, Dyers’ changed attitude was hard to understand for her, who had lived alone for several decades and was immature in human relationships.

Did you train too hard?

Am I being treated too harshly?

There was no time to brood like this.

She has a refreshing nature and pursues speed, so she was used to drawing conclusions quickly.

He began to distance himself from himself.

“It’s the same this time too.”

During his lifetime, when he was called the [Hell Instructor], students always kept their distance from him.

‘That person is the devil himself. They always enforce their own standards. The classes are crazy strict.’

‘Honestly, I’m sick of it. ‘I get scared to death every time I see that person’s face.’

‘…I don’t want to see it. That devil…’

“…….”

Students with potential are sharpened and polished like well-forged blades. That’s it.

Because I have lived with that kind of educational philosophy my whole life, I don’t know how to approach students in a friendly way.

…It was better. Trainee A is someone who will disappear quickly.

It’s very shameful that he distanced himself in the first place, but he may have done what he should have done instead.

Trainee A is also just a student. It won’t be much different from them.

Even though she knew that her expression was distorted, she tried to ignore it.

If that side ignores it, then this side just proudly ignores it and that’s it.

An eye for an eye. This is.

“The devil…”

For Faberde, the feeling of disappointment coming from deep within his heart was greater than his reason as an instructor.

As a result, whenever Trainee A spoke to him, he turned his head and ignored it.

Either way, he focused on training without paying any attention to her.

The longer that attitude continued, the more stubborn it became and they treated each other the same way.

He didn’t mind when other students ignored him, but when Trainee A ignored him, it was very upsetting.

I don’t know why it’s so different.

“Your push-up posture is wrong! Do it right, Trainee A!”

“When do you plan on ending this? Even a slug is faster than you! Run!”

“What are you trying to achieve with such a weak subject? If you approach it with such a pathetic mindset, you won’t be able to achieve anything.”

“…….”

Although she intentionally said harsh words, Trainee A just looked at her for a moment and completed the training without saying anything.

It shouldn’t be like this. This wasn’t what I wanted.

If you tell me anything, I will try to solve it somehow.

Even now, if you say it was a joke, I’m willing to accept it.

He doesn’t even give a single glance to himself.

As if interest had disappeared.

‘…It’s over.’

Being immature in human relationships means that you may lose someone precious to you.

In the end, I guess this is just the extent of their relationship. He chose to distance himself.

In that case, it is also the instructor’s responsibility to respect that choice.

Once a relationship is broken, it cannot be easily repaired.

There is no use in trying. Because it won’t change.

There will be no more conversations with him for personal reasons.

In the end, there was no conversation between him and her until the day’s work was over.

He even went home right after training.

So I have to walk alone.

The road I walked every day feels infinitely long and heavy.

Why is it like that?

“Was the weather this cold?”

Sobok, sobok. The sound of weak feet trampling on the snow echoes.

The sound that had always been cheerful now seemed like an unpleasant dissonance.

Snow fell on the bridge of my nose and melted. At the same time, coughing occurs.

“Heh…fuhechwi!”

Her shoulders were shaking and she walked toward the house she didn’t want to go to.

It’s already cold, but I’m coughing and my nose is coming out.

“This is the worst.”

I can definitely say that today will be one of the worst days.

Her eyes became increasingly darker.

So I carefully opened the door handle.

“Voila.”

The eyes, which had been dark, caught the light and instantly became bright.

Trainee A, who was so cold, is standing in front of him holding a bouquet of flowers.

The table in the living room, which usually looked empty, was full of hot-looking food.

In the room, there were letters made of balloons that looked like he had decorated them with his own hands.

Happy birthday – disciple.

“W-what is it?”

I couldn’t accept the current situation.

What’s going on? What are you doing now?

Trainee A presented a bouquet of flowers to his embarrassed self.

There is no way there is a flower shop around here. It was clearly handmade. When I thought about it that way, it became even more beautiful.

“It’s a surprise. Happy birthday, Master.”

I still didn’t say anything while holding the bouquet of flowers.

The disciple smiled slightly and continued.

It is a precious smile that is not easily seen.

“It said in the album that today was his birthday, so we couldn’t talk because he was in a hurry to get ready. For some reason, he didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.”

“Uh, huh..?”

“Although you are always a strict teacher, I like such a teacher. You are my only support and someone I am proud of.”

“……”

I couldn’t say anything.

“It’s a bit of a shame that I complain about the side dishes all the time, but it’s nice to eat carrots a lot these days.”

…Does he know?

Every single one of these actions makes things difficult for the teacher.

I become strangely emotional with each and every one of these actions.

Since the disciple came, the world is no longer dark.

I don’t know. Since they clearly don’t know, they can get away with such annoying behavior during the day.

“Okay then, now slowly…”

“What are you doing now?”

I threw the bouquet he gave me on the ground.

“…hmm?”

“Did you think I would be happy with just this?”

I couldn’t bear it anymore.

He pushes the confused disciple into the room and locks the door.

“If you come out before I tell you to, I will never see you again.”

“…the food is getting cold…”

“No. Don’t ever come out. Absolutely not.”

“…You didn’t like it that much? I understand.”

The student’s sullen voice bothered me, but there was no time to pay attention to it right now.

I carefully hugged the bouquet that had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, the warmth remains.

I headed to the table holding the precious gift tightly.

I see a bowl full of curry.

There wasn’t a single carrot, just full of meat.

For a moment, tears came out.

“Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…”

I hold my breath as much as I can in case I hear any noise. At the same time, tears like chicken droppings fell drop by drop.

“Thank goodness….”

I thought it was because I started hating myself.

I believed that there would no longer be a relationship like this.

It wasn’t.

I pretended to be cool, but in reality, this relationship is very precious.

It is now so precious that it cannot be exchanged for anything else.

After tidying up the place, I called my disciple back and had a meal with him.

The juicy soft meat and turmeric powder stimulate the esophagus.

it’s good..! It’s really, really delicious.

As I ate the curry without saying anything, my student laughed again.

“It’s good to see you eating well.”

I was embarrassed, but it didn’t matter.

Just being able to sit here with him and hear his voice was already enough.

The party was over and it was time to go to bed.

Just before falling asleep, he told me the last part of the story that I had been curious about.

“After seeing her terminally ill fiancé dead, the young lady commits suicide by stabbing his heart with a knife. She falls on top of him and dies with him.”

I shouldn’t have listened. What is the ending to all this?

When I glared at him as if I was dissatisfied, I opened my mouth again.

“Then the teacher should change it.”

“…I?”

“huh.”

hmm…

“If I commit suicide like a fool, I will avenge my fiancé.”

“That’s a great choice.”

Saying that, he tried to leave the bedroom.

I quickly grabbed his hand.

I don’t want to miss it.

If you miss him here and now, no more.

“…hmm?”

“Oh, sleep here tonight.”

“Anyway, that’s a bit much.”

“Today’s birthday.”

“…That’s disgusting.”

He came into the bed as if he had no choice.

Then he turned his body in the opposite direction and lay down.

It was a natural act for me as a teacher and a student, but I felt somewhat disappointed.

I held his hand tightly in defiance.

In order not to miss it.

Because I don’t want to miss it.

“Good night.”

.

Faberde woke up.

“…….”

Instinctively, I turn my head to look for him.

does not exist.

There is no Dyers.

No matter how hard I search, there is no Dyers.

“Dyers, I…”

There is nothing more foolish than missing someone who does not exist.

“I miss you so much…”

Faberde lay helpless and carefully hugged himself and the statue made in his image.

There was no warmth in the statue anymore.

She rolled over as if dead and went back to sleep.
