After my nausea,

I tilted my head at the suddenly cold atmosphere.

“… Did something happen that I deserved to be congratulated on?”

Where is there any room for celebration in this current state of hangovers?

I would understand if it were a consolation rather than a congratulation… .

As I think about it, I frown,

Camilla, who had been looking at me with a puzzled expression until now, began to look at me carefully.

since.

“Aha.”

Camilla nodded as if she understood something, smiled faintly, and approached me.

“Grandma~”

“… What is it?”

He responded with a somewhat timid expression,

Camilla opened her mouth, glancing at Nameless, who had been sweating profusely since a while ago, rather than at me.

“You said that wouldn’t happen with a pedophile inspector, but it was all a lie?”

At Camilla’s words, the nameless body flinched and trembled,

I tilted my head at the question that I truly did not understand.

Camilla, what is this guy talking about all of a sudden?

I never told Camilla or anyone else that I don’t drink with anonymous people.

And above all, it’s not the fault of anonymity that I suffer from hangovers, it’s my fault for failing to control myself.

Let’s tilt our heads at that thought and respond.

“… When did I do that?”

“Master… .”

The response came from Anonymous, not Camilla.

“… Why do you like it this time?”

Let’s turn our heads and look at the nameless one,

The look of confusion had disappeared, but a faint laugh leaked out from the anonymous person.

When the questions only grow in a situation that is truly incomprehensible.

“… Sometimes I wonder if Grandma is really a brat.”

“Ahahaha… .”

Camilla shook her head in disgust,

Elia smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.

“What have you been talking about! Explain it to me!”

My cheeks puffed out in frustration,

Camilla opened her mouth with a look of bewilderment.

“You really don’t know?”

“How could I know when I’m the only one being left out like this?”

“… Grandma really doesn’t know anything.”

He pouted at Camilla’s expression, which seemed genuinely disgusted.

Are these guys seriously trying to ostracize me?

Camilla, if this guy is going to tell you something, he’ll tell you quickly, and if he’s going to tease you, he’ll tease you…

And what if people don’t know?

In the current situation, it doesn’t seem like a situation where you can learn something, and not knowing is not a sin.

The attitude of not trying to know is a sin.

Pouting – sticking out one’s lips.

The more I think about it, the more I feel a sense of injustice fills me.

When my patience was reaching its limit,

Camilla sighed and waved at me.

“Come closer.”

“… Are you trying to tell me?”

“Uh.”

I moved my hips and clung close to Camilla,

Camilla hesitated with a look of hesitation, as if to say, ‘Can I say this?’

“Speak quickly!”

“… Yeah.”

When I urged him, he let out a deep sigh and whispered in my ear.

… I really need to hear what the story is about to get such reactions.

-Whispering

The more he listened to Camilla’s story, the more Cheon Ha-rang’s expression changed.

At first, I tilted my head in doubt,

Gradually, her expression began to fill with astonishment.

“What the hell are you misunderstanding!”

Soon, his face turned red with embarrassment and he shouted, waving his arms.

-bang!

The desk broke.

* * *

They say curiosity killed the cat… .

That’s absolutely true,

I died once today.

The room where everyone gathered,

I’m stuck in a corner, unable to fit in, with my face buried in my knees.

“Cheer up, Grandma. You did nothing wrong.”

“That’s right, wasn’t it our fault for misunderstanding?”

Camilla comforting me without answering, and Elia patting my shoulder as she did.

I couldn’t raise my head despite their comfort.

…I’m embarrassed.

It’s embarrassing that I didn’t know the reason for the misunderstanding, but

I felt even more ashamed that I had caused such a misunderstanding.

What on earth do you think of me and the anonymous people that makes you misunderstand like that?

The thought that is currently lingering in my head is, ‘Should I distance myself a little from the unknown?’

I was writhing in shame for a long time.

“Master.”

Anonymous came up to me and opened his mouth slightly.

“What is it?”

To answer him, I lifted my face from my knees and lifted it slightly.

“Didn’t the Master say that thinking too much won’t lead to a good answer, it’s a minor issue, so why don’t you just move on? Of course, I know that what you’re thinking right now is the worst, so Master, wouldn’t it be best to just forget about this for now for the sake of a clear mind?”

A nameless man who looked somewhat gloomy spoke at a rapid pace.

… do you know what I’m thinking?

No, this is not it.

He nodded once and then sat up.

… I don’t know when I said that, but since Moo-myeong heard that from me, I should show him that I’m keeping my promise.

“You are right.”

“Thank you for listening.”

Bowing his head, the anonymous man smiled with satisfaction and led me to my seat.

“Wow… That guy was the problem.”

I didn’t bother to respond to Camilla’s incomprehensible words.

* * *

Honestly, I don’t know why I’m here.

I was embarrassed to be here, but

Above all, isn’t that all the story I need to hear over and over again?

I was thinking about leaving earlier, but…

“Grandma, stay a little longer.”

“Um… Okay.”

Every time that happened, strangely enough, Camilla stopped him.

Of course, I could have ignored Camilla’s demands and just left, but wouldn’t that have been too unkind?

I don’t want to fight with the close friends I already have.

If I leave now, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see Camilla.

It wasn’t a bad suggestion for me either.

but.

It didn’t take long for me to regret that thought.

“Grandma.”

Camilla, who had been chatting with Lucius for a while, called me over as if something had come to mind.

“What is it?”

I answered brightly without any doubts,

I couldn’t help but tremble with anxiety when I saw her expression.

That mischievous smile she makes whenever she asks for something, or whenever she plays a prank.

… I’m anxious.

Camilla opened her mouth with a faint smile, not knowing whether she knew about my anxiety or not.

“Do you have anything to do after you leave Ellen?”

“There’s something to do… .”

He folded his arms and tilted his head in response to Camilla’s question.

There wasn’t really a set thing I had to do, like ‘I absolutely had to do this!’

“… There is.”

I answered, avoiding Camilla’s gaze.

For some reason, if I were to honestly tell Camilla that I don’t have any plans here, I feel like she’d be tasked with something like she did a few days ago.

But that doesn’t mean it’s a complete lie.

If you actually leave Ellen,

I decided to stop by the cabin where I was staying with Anonymous to take a short break.

… To be honest, it’s more like a retreat than a rest.

That makes sense, aren’t we going through so many incidents these days?

I’m tired.

It may vary from person to person,

I like spending time quietly with Anonymous rather than meeting people.

I don’t know if you know my heart or not.

Camilla continued speaking with a still bright expression.

“Really? What is it?”

“Um… .”

I was rolling my eyes, wondering what to say.

Camilla continued speaking immediately, as if she wasn’t giving me time to think.

“It’s not urgent, is it?”

“… That’s true, but.”

I pursed my lips at the complete loss of control of the conversation.

… Maybe I never had the initiative in the conversation from the beginning.

Camilla continued, pushing a cookie in front of me with a somewhat gloomy smile.

“Grandma, can you do me one favor?”

I let out a deep sigh at Camilla’s request.

I knew this would happen, it’s just the first or second time?

I didn’t want things to get any worse, so I immediately shook my head.

“… No, no-!”

I tried to do that.

“Take this and listen slowly. It won’t be bad for grandma either.”

Camilla stuffed a cookie into my mouth and opened her mouth.

Just when I was about to get angry at this rude behavior.

“… Ugh.”

I was defeated by the taste of the cookie, so I ended up eating it with my own hands, smiling broadly.

“It’s not for nothing that the pedophile test is so easy… .”

Camilla, who smiled with an unknown word, opened her mouth and pushed the teacup in front of me.

“I’m going to close soon?”

“Umm… closed training?”

“Right, I guess I should say that I felt something like, “Ppa!” from what grandma showed me before?”

Hmm, as expected, Camilla seems to have realized something just by seeing one movement.

But does that mean you want me to take care of Ellen?

Even though I was eating a cookie with magic jam on it, my expression suddenly became distorted.

“Absolutely hate it-!”

“Oh my, the story isn’t over yet.”

My eyes began to sparkle at the new shape of the cookie.

Dinosaurs can’t stand it.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Camilla, who had been watching me munching on cookies, continued with a sly smile.

“I was the one-day guest teacher at the academy, but I wanted my grandmother to take over for me.”

“Cheok- Cool!”

Academy?
