“Cheok- Cool!”

As the cookie I was eating got stuck in my throat, I kept coughing.

Puk- Myeong let out a sigh and immediately started patting my back.

“… Master, are you okay?”

“no, water….”

I was beating my chest for him,

He accepted the teacup from the anonymous person and drank it down.

Gulp, gulp

-widely!

“After… .”

I wiped the moisture from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand and thought about Camilla’s words.

…Academy? Me?

He looked at Camilla with pupils shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

“… Did I hear that wrong? You’re an Academy guest teacher? ”

“I think I heard you right?”

Unlike me, who keeps shaking his fist,

My head starts to spin when I see Camilla so calmly.

Does this guy know what he’s talking about?

“I, of all people, am a teacher?”

He pointed at me with his index finger and frowned.

It’s a bit sad for me to say this myself, but… .

I hate other people so much that meeting people and having conversations with them makes me feel awkward, if not uncomfortable.

Why else would you pass the buck to an anonymous person whenever you need to talk to others, such as when shopping or booking a hotel?

Of course, if your relationship with the other person has progressed somewhat, like when you were talking to Camilla, that’s okay.

If you hold back like you did when talking to Eliana Lucius, it’s not impossible… .

Oh my…! What was I thinking?

I was startled when I saw myself almost being stabbed in the face, and shook my head roughly.

No, I can’t.

Go to the academy and teach students?

Even though I have an unknown disciple… this is a little different.

I was always anxious, separate from the fun and satisfaction I felt from teaching the unknown.

Things like, ‘Did I really teach well?’, ‘Can I really call myself a teacher?’

Hmm, I’m not sure.

As he shook his head in that manner, Camilla suddenly said, “Tsk” and clicked her tongue.

“This won’t come over.”

Camilla sighed deeply, wondering what was so regrettable, and then opened her mouth.

“I’ll pay you extra and give you a generous salary, okay?”

“It’s not a question of compensation… .”

It’s my personality that’s the problem, but I couldn’t bring myself to say that because my pride was hurt, so I kept my mouth shut.

Camilla, seeing that sight, wiped her face and muttered something,

He glanced at me and opened his mouth slightly.

“-That’s why it’s not there… .”

“… What are you talking about? Speak louder.”

He spoke so quietly that even I, who prides myself on having good hearing, couldn’t hear him, so I asked him back.

Camilla opened her mouth with a slightly red face.

“I said that because I have no one to ask for help… .”

“Anything you’d like to ask?”

What does that mean?

If you’re like Camilla, you’re definitely not better than me, but

Wouldn’t it be better to just have someone of similar strength as your acquaintances?

As I tilted my head at that thought, Camilla opened her mouth with an even redder face, as if she had noticed what I was thinking even though I hadn’t said it out loud.

“… I don’t have anyone I can ask for this kind of thing, besides grandma. What do you want me to do?”

“What.”

Could it be that Camilla is friendless like me?

The corners of my mouth began to twitch.

I never imagined anything like this… .

Isn’t it? I think I know, judging by that arrogant tone.

He looked back at Lucius and Elia with a somewhat awkward expression, convinced by himself.

“… Lucius or Elia?”

“How can you send those idiots to be professors? They’re still students.”

“What.”

Lucius is only a student?

Then, does that mean that our anonymous person’s level is not even a student? Doesn’t that make sense?

I looked at Lucius with a look of astonishment.

“No… .”

Perhaps his pride was hurt, he frowned and shook his head.

Just as Lucius was about to open his mouth to say something more, Camilla cut him off and continued.

“Well, of course I’m stronger than the Academy students.”

“…”

Lucius’s mouth closed at Camilla’s seemingly defensive words,

Camilla saw that and smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and opened her mouth.

“He’s a warrior, right? It’s weird if he’s weak, but what I’m saying is that he’s not at a level that can be taught.”

“… That’s right.”

Camilla’s words make sense,

Lucius also nodded, unable to refute this.

Camilla, who saw him, looked at me again, lowered her head, and made a pitiful expression.

“And the academy asked me to be a guest lecturer, right?”

“That’s right, so that means I can’t go.”

When I replied sarcastically, Camilla frowned.

“Hey, listen to me, Grandma.”

This is what Camilla said:

At this time, there was no work that needed to be done at Ellen, and since the administrative work had been handled by an old butler named Sebastian, he accepted the Academy’s request to be an invited teacher.

But don’t they say that fate comes unexpectedly?

It is said that when I met the existence of the country and saw the punishment from heaven that I was carrying out, I gained something similar to enlightenment.

However, I haven’t been able to enter the closed hall because I’ve been busy preparing for the festival and dealing with the byproducts from the fighting.

He said that he wanted to close the store as soon as possible because he felt like the realization from that time was fading away as time went by.

It just so happened that a suitable country appeared.

Yeah, I get the gist of what Camilla is saying.

And I agree with that too.

For the untrained, enlightenment does not come on time, but rather suddenly, so they want to catch it as soon as possible.

As time passes, memories tend to fade and become distorted.

Hearing Camilla’s words, I began to feel truly troubled.

As a close friend and fellow warrior, it seems right to grant Camilla’s request.

He pursed his lips and let out a deep sigh.

In my original country, I would have rejected such requests outright.

but….

I raised my head and looked into Camilla’s eyes.

A truly serious expression on the unmanned machine.

Puk- I let out a sigh.

It’s hard to refuse like this… .

He was seriously considering Camilla’s request, and his eyes were just rolling around.

Do you still have something to say?

Camilla opened her mouth and pointed to the anonymous person sitting next to me.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to let the pedophile inspector take a look at the Academy once in a while?”

“Um… .”

Certainly this is an attractive proposition,

I was quite interested in the fact that it provided various experiences to an unknown person, not me.

Camilla raised the corners of her lips, perhaps noticing my interest, and continued.

“If the pedophile inspector shows interest in the academy, it’s okay to admit them.”

“… Hmm.”

The Academy is anonymous.

Certainly my original intention was to send anonymity to the academy.

but….

At the point where I met the warrior and the saint, I wondered if it was really necessary to go there.

The original purpose of sending it to the academy was to not disrupt the flow of this world.

… Now that I think about it, I guess I was really selfish.

Somehow it makes me reflect on myself.

For some reason, a feeling of guilt began to well up in me, and I looked at the nameless person.

“…”

“Master?”

If I think about a future where I will disappear one day, I guess it would be okay to go on a field trip to the academy for an unknown future.

“Sigh… .”

After much deliberation, I finally nodded to Camilla’s suggestion.

“Okay, I’ll accept it.”

“Thank you, Grandma! I’ll pay you a really generous salary.”

But… do you know that it’s me and not Camilla who’s going?

I tilted my head with such doubts,

Camilla smiled and waved her hand.

“Grandma, you don’t have to worry about that, I explained everything well.”

“No, you probably didn’t know I’d accept it?”

Did this guy already do it on his own?

I felt really bad for some reason, but I nodded because there was nothing particularly bad about it.

I already accepted it, and I know you’ve changed, so what does it matter?

He nodded his head with a small sigh of resignation.

Well, if you think about it positively, there would be a lot of people in the academy and there would be a lot of different information, right?

If I can find any information about the nameless body or even a small clue about my next step, I would be very satisfied.

With the corners of his lips slightly raised, he asked Camilla a question.

“Then when should I go?”

If you insist on telling me now, I guess you have some time to spare.

Then, you can stop by the cabin to unpack or take a short rest before leaving.

At that moment, the corners of my mouth were rising at the thought of spending the last long time in a cabin alone with Myeong-i.

Camilla made some rather shocking remarks.

“Uh… If we leave tomorrow, it’ll be perfect.”

“This year?”

Camilla smiled awkwardly, and my brow furrowed.

“Haa… .”

This guy doesn’t even give me time to gather my thoughts.

This is a moment when I truly regret my past choices.
