Master was defeated.

    He collapsed before my eyes.

    This is a result that both people agreed to.

    It was a fight between two prosecutors who raised their heads to fight for their lives.

    But even though I know this, I feel angry when I see my teacher die.

    With me in front of her, Aila sheathed her broken sword.

    “Irim. Are you angry?”

    Ayla speaks with her back turned to me.

    “… A lot.”

    Although the result was clearly expected, I was angry when I saw Master fall like that in front of my eyes.

    Still, Aila doesn’t stop talking.

    “Yes. I guess so. Even if it were me, I would be angry. But I really have to say this for Irim’s sake.”

    “… What is it?”

    “Your teacher died because he was weak. No matter how strong he may have been in the world he was in, he died because he was weak. And there are more people in the world stronger than me. You can’t forget that.”

    Ayla spoke coldly without looking into my eyes.

    Those words are certainly not intended to disparage the teacher.

    Still, Aila’s words make me angrier.

    “Your choice is correct. Even if you learn from your teacher, it ends there. If you meet someone stronger than you, you will die. In order to avoid that, you need to become stronger, and to do that, you need to have more diverse experiences.”

    However, he soon suppresses his anger and ponders Aila’s words.

    Her words really come from a place of caring for me.

    It is more important to engrave this advice in your mind than your current anger.

    “Irim needs to become stronger if he doesn’t want to see his teacher die again. If you don’t want to experience the same emotions again, you just have to become stronger.”

    ‘It’s a good choice. All you have to do is use that anger as nourishment to become stronger.’

    It was only for a moment, but as soon as I heard a sound that overlapped with Aila’s voice, my anger completely disappeared.

    “… Lee Rim?”

    In front of me, Aila was looking at me hesitantly.

    The way he looked to see if I was angry didn’t seem like he was the person who had just given me advice that would have an important impact on my life.

    The winner is Aila anyway. Of course, the conditions she set are followed.

    “… Yes. Because a promise is a promise. Since Master suggested it first, he must have understood it now.”

    “… You don’t like me, right?”

    “I still feel angry, but I won’t hate it.”

    Unlike my teacher who is resurrected, Aila risked her own life to teach me a duel.

    If I were to get angry at the outcome of what started out as a fair line between us, it would be a shame not only to Aila but also to Master.

    When I answered, Aila smiled only then.

    “Right? It’s a warning, right? thank god. When it was over, I was really scared. This is my first human friend. I thought our relationship would break up like this.”

    Ayla ran over and took my hand.

    “Now! Well then, let’s go meet Irim’s teacher again! After fighting, I know for sure. I understand why you have confidence. Did you say Hwarim? I want to be friends with that person too!”

    “No, I don’t think Master would like that.”

    I think you’re crazy to want to be friends with someone you just killed.

    Even at the end, he followed suit as if he was teasing me, but no matter how I endured it, would the person in question really accept it?

    I think absolutely not.

    ‘I wonder if they’ll try to kill me again.’

    ——————————-

    “Do it one more time.”

    ‘Of course it is.’

    Those were the first words the Master said when we met again after his resurrection.

    Afterwards, I entered the unit with Aila.

    At first, I thought that no matter how much magic I used to hide my appearance, I would be stopped, but since so many other outsiders were coming in anyway, Aila came in without much of a restraint.

    However, after being resurrected, the first words of the Master who came to the supply world and waited for us were these.

    When Aila saw her Master like that, she hid behind me and didn’t know what to do.

    All I had to do was muster up the courage to look over my shoulder and look at my teacher.

    “Irim, what should I do? It seems like this person is an extremely retarded person.”

    “Even if you say so. I also never thought that Master would be so stubborn here.”

    “I am not saying that I will disobey the winner. It’s just the behavior that humiliated me. I can’t stand it. They say they can’t stand it anymore so let’s stick together again.”

    Grrrr-

    The teacher seems to be unable to hold back his anger, and there is a boiling sound like an animal.

    “Eeh? But the result will be the same again?”

    “Aila, stop provoking me.”

    ‘This isn’t about stopping kids from fighting.’

    I never thought that Master would say it again like this after all he had said about doing it without regrets.

    “Master, stop it too. Aila says she didn’t have any special feelings toward her teacher, but it’s not good to show too much of an afterthought.”

    “That’s right, that’s right. You’re not mature enough! You might be a lot younger than me, but.”

    “… Good. The reason is enough, so let’s just fight again. I will kill you this time.”

    “No, I told you to be quiet…”

    I tried to stop him somehow, but the teacher couldn’t calm down as more words kept coming out from the side.

    I had no choice but to turn on the fire.

    “More than that, Aila, what are you going to do about the accommodation? Do you plan on staying in town?”

    “Yeah… First of all, after I meet Peria again, I’m going to get a room and enjoy my hobbies. Irim comes to see me from time to time.”

    After I talked to Aila, Master calmed down a little.

    First of all, the overall atmosphere seemed to have calmed down a bit, so I was talking to Aila, but for some reason, the Master kept looking at me.

    “Master. Why are you doing that?”

    “… Don’t call me teacher anymore.”

    ‘What does this mean?’

    I thought I might have been paying too much attention to Aila, so I talked to my teacher, but I heard my head hurt again.

    “No, why are you doing that? Are you still upset?”

    ‘If that’s true, it’s too much.’

    I wondered if he was really going to get behind something like this, but this time it was for a different reason.

    “No… Hmm! hmm! She says she’s older than me, but if she keeps speaking informally like that, she’s too friendly… doesn’t she seem comfortable? Even though that woman was the one who cut me.”

    I guess Master didn’t like the fact that Aela and I were talking comfortably.

    “But the teacher is the teacher.”

    “I did not accept him as a direct disciple in a normal way, but I have no intention of being called a teacher. Or do you think my name is the real teacher?”

    My back started to hurt at the sight of him completely sulking.

    “Then how should I call you.”

    ‘I can’t even call you by name.’

    “ Decide for yourself.”

    Thanks to the difficult request being thrown at him, he furrows his brows and begins to think about it.

    ‘The woman’s question is answered.’

    I told you to figure it out, but this will have a predetermined answer. But I don’t know what the answer is.

    ‘Let’s make a guess.’

    teacher.

    Absolutely not.

    Hwarim.

    They are so equal. It might be better to treat her informally, just like Aila, but I’ve been treating her with respect so far, so it’s uncomfortable to just call her by her first name.

    ‘It would have been better if I had sung it more comfortably like Peria.’

    The teacher may be stubborn, but you have no idea how difficult it is to change an already established relationship.

    Thinking like that made me a little grumpy.

    I was tempted to just give it a go and give it a go.

    I say this as I see Master pouring water into a cup at the sink on one side and gulping down cold water one after another.

    “Okay. Sister.”

    Clink!

    The teacher loses hold of the cup he was holding and the glass cup breaks.

    As it happened, the cup that I broke was Enin’s favorite cup, so I was at a loss as to what to say when it came back.

    Master coughed for a while before finally speaking.

    “Ah, no… who wants to cut it all up like that… what on earth are they thinking! ”

    Forgetting that he was angry, he covered his red face with the back of his hand.

    “They told me to do whatever I wanted.”

    Seeing how shy I am makes me laugh for no reason.

    Even though I laugh and think about it, I still can’t come to a conclusion on what to call it.

    I couldn’t think of any suitable words to replace the titles I had been used to for the past five years.

    In the end, the teacher who had stung me once spoke first.

    “…Hwarim.”

    “Yes?”

    “If you’re going to call me that, just call me by my name. It’s my first time hearing such an embarrassing sound, so I can’t get used to it. So for now, let’s just call it Hwarim.”

    I never thought they would actually ask me to call you by my name.

    “And don’t speak informally yet. I’m older.”

    “Oh, I guess so.”

    “Age? Are you talking about your age in front of an elf? Haha! That’s funny! Me and Lee Rim just talk casually. Does that have any meaning now?”

    Eila gets on her nerves again towards her teacher.

    Thanks to you, I was able to see a new side of Master.

    “You just shut up and go away.”

    ‘Wow, this is my first time seeing a teacher like that.’

    Even his usual way of speaking completely collapsed in front of Aila. It’s something I haven’t seen in 5 years.

    Still, Aila did not back down and continued to scratch Master’s insides.

    “Well, Irim and I are friends, but Hwarim is not, right? Then I guess there’s nothing we can do.”

    Still, that too has its limits.

    Aila quickly went out as Master picked up the dagger on the desk.

    bang!

    Master didn’t know what to do with the dagger that had lost its place, so he threw it down on the desk and declared defeat.

    “Ugh… Really! I get it. If so, please speak informally to me from now on. And if you treat me differently than that woman, I won’t forgive you, so know that!”

    “No, why are you suddenly making such a sudden move alone? And I think that would be difficult for me.”

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do that.

    “And the name seems a bit difficult… Just call me sister. I’ll say it again, I won’t forgive you for treating me the same way as that woman!”

    “You just told me to treat you the same, but why this time again…”

    “Quickly!”

    ‘He’s so moody today.’

    But the only way to calm this temper is to do what you want.

    “Ah, okay. Sister.”

    However, after hearing those words, Master hugged his face again and went down.

    “Keueunnnnh… Of course… I’ll only say that sometimes.”

    ‘I’m going to be amazed.’
