The Changed Situation. (2)

A year ago, in the waiting room for players competing in the Kingdom of Frisia’s ranking matches.

“Disciple, what on earth was the fight you just showed me?”

“… Ahaha. I’m sorry, Master. I guess I’m not feeling well today… “

Affection, faith and trust.

I already knew that just because it’s a lot, and because you force it on others, it’s not necessarily a good thing.

I, who was not even a woman of one or two years older than me, ended up demanding too much from my precious disciple, to the point of being poisonous.

“… Are you planning on fooling me, and not just any other human in this stadium?”

“Huh? What do you mean by lying… “

“Profit…!!”

I thought that there must have been a reason and circumstances for you, for the person you are.

But my overflowing heart, my resentment. My selfishness of just wanting to show off to you won over my reason.

“Shitty!! If you’re going to fool me, then do it properly!! Are you asking me if I was invited here today to show you my ‘ugly defeat’ that’s obvious to everyone!!”

He was a curious child since childhood, and at some point he became a curious and charming man.

I knew you were doing something behind my back, but I didn’t dig deeper because I didn’t want to be rejected.

I’m afraid that if I catch you, you’ll run away, because I don’t want to lose you.

The reason I kept Nora by your side for a while was because I felt like I was no match for you at your age.

It was definitely like that. What’s with the jeers and criticism from others? I was disappointed in what you showed me, and I ended up making a huge mistake.

“… Sorry.”

“You bad boy!!”

-Tsk!!

I’d rather swing my baton like I usually do.

I’ll just drink and swing my fists at the rooftop like I usually do.

As usual, I’ll have Brocken and the kids scold you and tell you to educate them.

And since I had only recently entered the wizarding world, my instincts and reason were out of control, so I should have apologized and talked things out later.

That day, when I couldn’t control my anger and slapped your cheek with tears in my eyes, even though he was just your teacher.

“Don’t go around telling people you’re my disciple. If you can’t come to me and explain today’s disgrace, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“… … “

I’m upset, I’m angry, so please hold my hand and tell me why I played a game that deserved such insults and boos from people right now, as I turn my back on you and leave you behind.

The one who threw such a tantrum.

“… I’m disappointed in you, Rudis.”

If I could go back to that day, I would rip out that heart and kill him.

*

“S, sir… “

“Yeah, that damn disciple. Where on earth did you learn the manners of not saying hello, not contacting, and just disappearing? Because of that, Matap’s back almost broke.”

When I was surprised and kept calling out to her teacher like a broken radio, I lowered my head without realizing it as I saw her slightly twinkling blue eyes as if she was genuinely worried, unlike how she used to blame me.

“… Are you well?”

“No, I couldn’t even swallow water. I couldn’t sleep. Thanks to you, I lost 5kg. They say that a growing body like this needs to eat well and sleep well, but how are you going to take responsibility for that?”

Although she seemed like a teacher who naturally blamed others as usual, it was impossible not to know her when looking at her.

The fact that you are forcing yourself to try to break the awkward atmosphere between us right now.

Obviously, you still don’t want to talk to me.

“I’m sorry.”

“Sir, don’t apologize. It’s just a joke. Pfft, it’s been a while, and… It’s true that I lost weight… “

The kind teacher kept swallowing and scratching the back of his head as if he really felt embarrassed about me apologizing, and he kept telling me not to apologize, so I didn’t know what to say anymore.

So, if two warlocks fight and then hesitate like children who don’t know how to resolve it.

“Why are you here…?”

The gaze of me, my teacher, Harve, and the princess was focused on Sister Yuria’s flustered voice that came out as if it was flowing.

Yeah, why are you here?

There is no reason why the Kingdom’s Magic Tower Lord could freely go abroad, and it is difficult to believe that the Kingdom would have given permission to the Master to go abroad to find me.

Although she rose to the ranks of wizards, she was a black magician who was ostracized by the kingdom.

Even though he was the greatest magician among magicians, he had to endure years of criticism from the bastards of the J-Moon faction and the criticism that he was just a puppet of the Demon Tribe.

And now, at a time when the Black Tower is finally beginning to be recognized by the kingdom, I am very worried that you might have come abroad without permission to find me.

So, while waiting for the Master’s answer.

“Wet tank… Former Knight Commander Yuria Portward. How are you?”

Instead of an answer to why she was here, a sarcastic reply came back, almost as if she was laughing and seemed angry, causing my older sister to flinch and twitch her fox ears and tail.

Yeah? The two of you used to fight a lot when you met, but right now it seems like Yuria is being pushed around a bit?

“Yeah, yeah. Hello. Until just now… “

“Kick! Really? After hearing that answer, I really have ‘so’ many things I want to say… but I don’t want to talk about them here. What about you?”

“… Uh, yeah.”

Both of them glance at me for some reason and make eye contact.

But more than that, why is it that my older sister can’t show off to her teacher?

When the two of them first met, Yuria was so overwhelmingly superior in everything that this picture didn’t seem awkward, but that’s not the case now.

The heights each individual achieved and the social positions they held would not have been that different.

Surely, you’re not the captain of the knights anymore?

… does that mean it’s my fault?

While Rudis was thinking quickly, Piana and Yuria, looking into each other’s blue and gold eyes, were conversing only with their eyes.

‘You little bitch, you attacked Rudis at night? Damn it. You fooled me so well, didn’t you?’

‘… I really wonder how you figured that out.’

‘I don’t have any reason to tell you that, do I? Besides, are you the type of person to intervene in the conversation of ‘our priest’ right now? Huh?’

‘…what?’

‘Think carefully and act. Who has the ‘upper hand’ here and now?’

It’s neither magic nor sorcery.

It was a conversation method close to a miracle where they could convey each other’s general intentions through just their gazes, the movement of their ears, and the twitching of their lips, after having been fighting over a man named Rudis for a long time.

And the reason why the two of them have mastered this skill is because Rudis hates it when his people fight among themselves.

In any case, even though the other person couldn’t admit it, the two people knew each other too well about Rudis and hated each other so much that they hated each other more than anything, so this was a conversation technique born of desperate struggles.

‘You, surely…’

‘First of all, I have no intention of threatening you with your daughter. If Rudis says even one word to me, I will go and heal her right away. However, if you interfere with our conversation between priests here, I cannot guarantee anything.’

‘… That’s a threat!’

‘No, this is a deal. Don’t you know that I’m not telling you, even though I know that you snuck into your disciple’s room and shoved that vicious nipple into those charming lips?’

‘Ugh!’

Who would believe that this was just a two-second eye contact?

And the conversation between the two ended differently than before, with Piana having an overwhelming advantage.

Because unlike Yuria, who had won and was enjoying her daily life with Rudis without preparing anything, Piana was preparing for the revenge match from the beginning and gathering information.

And for Piana, who had endured that short yet long time, the opportunity literally came.

It’s not the words of Brocken, who, like himself, has never been in a relationship, but rather the words of Daeshik, the newly appointed love advisor.

– Do you understand, Sister? The reason why he took such drastic measures that he would be screwed if he got caught by Rudis was because he felt that you were a threat, so he tried to quickly get you out of there.

– And if we say this the other way around, it means that they haven’t reached the point where they can eat rice cakes while looking at the full moon with Rudis yet. In other words, this side has time to calmly prepare to attack them, even if it’s not easy.

-So, let’s gather information and wait. According to the information I gathered while my older sister was registering as a temporary instructor at the academy, she often shows off by being physically intimate with others, but Rudis has never hit her directly…

– Sister! Today is the day! Today, you are going to face Rudis! Why? This is it! The daughter of the Knight Commander! The kingdom cannot treat her… No! Wait?! I am not telling you to threaten her with her life! Just tell her not to get involved in the conversation…!! Whoa!! No head! I will die!!

And the great eater spoke.

The relationship between me and Rudis has been built up over time and affection since long ago, so it will never become negative or zero.

If Rudis had really hated me because of my actions that day, she wouldn’t have just been kicked out of the Black Tower.

In other words, the important thing here is that Rudis and I get a chance to talk to each other, and that I apologize for what happened in the past so that we can go back to a plus relationship.

Daeshik said that he had decided to first end this awkward relationship in which both of them were feeling awkward and sorry.

‘If you understand, then get out. I’m not telling you to disappear forever. I’m just asking for… time for me to apologize to my precious disciple.’

-Pthud.

The sound of teeth gnashing echoes through everyone.

Even though they only stared at each other for a short while, maybe ten seconds, Piana and Yuria clenched their teeth so much that it made an unpleasant sound.

Because Yuria had her daughter’s health held hostage, and because she wanted to prevent the disaster of Rudis finding out about what she had done.

And even if Piana doesn’t like that woman, she feels so resentful of how she feels like a retard who can’t even properly apologize to her precious disciple, if she doesn’t take this approach of holding her daughter’s life hostage.

That’s how the two people’s eye conversation ended.

“… Lou, Rudis?”

“Yes, yes? Oh, yes.”

In the awkward atmosphere where the two just stared at each other, Yuria smiled awkwardly and tried to move her lips to tell Rudis, who was blankly blaming herself, that she had no choice but to leave.

“Hey kid. What are you doing?”

But before the words she didn’t want to utter could burst out, Princess Coti Royal Labyrinth, who had crossed between the two of them and stood in front of Piana, was looking down at her with an annoyed expression.

“… What are you?”

“The girl is the fourth… no! the fifth noble princess in this empire! She is the Coti Royal Labyrinth, little one!”

The old nobleman’s speech, overbearing, coercive, and foolish.

And Yuria and Harb, who knew Piana’s true identity, were both shocked by her actions of rushing at her opponent, thinking he was just a kid.

By the time she reached Rudis, her brain had stopped, but she proudly crossed her arms, took a stance as if to emphasize her huge pocket of pride, and continued speaking to Piana.

“If the girl introduces herself, shouldn’t you do it too!”

“… What the heck is this, seriously, are you a bitch who is lacking something? When you join, join in.”

“What?! You little punk like a gum! Did you swallow up your manners in water?! The girl is a princess!”

“Ssitpal, I bit one and got another wet nipple… “

“Huh! Watermelon rather than a washboard…! No, I think you need at least a melon to increase a woman’s charm!”

-Snap.

As she was about to call her breasts a watermelon, she glanced at Yuria next to her and lowered her voice a notch. Piana began to feel annoyed at her, wondering if this year was Yuria’s side.

Of course, Coty didn’t want to talk about her breasts turning into mini watermelons in front of a real watermelon, so she brought up another fruit as an example, but Piana, not knowing her personality, thought she was deliberately picking a fight, and her forehead blushed.

“Shitty… Get out of here, why are you acting like this when I’m talking to my student.”

“Hey! Normally I could’ve just gotten out, but I don’t want to get out of here right now! I’m going to keep being a slut! Being a slut is one of the few special skills a girl has! Don’t look down on me! “

As Coty’s words gradually irritated her, Piana began to gather her magic power.

Of course, I don’t intend to kill him. I just want to end it by covering his mouth with my black hand and binding him.

And when Rudis noticed that, she tried to grab Coty’s shoulder, but Coty’s lips were faster.

“I don’t know who you are! Our commoners are so scared because of you! You’re a fucking piece of shit who can’t even introduce yourself, so get out of here!!”

“!”

“Ah… “

Her harsh words pierced Piana’s heart, and the magic she had been gathering disappeared in an instant. Her azure eyes looked at Rudis, who had an anxious expression on her face, who was reaching out to the foolish girl.

‘Ah. It’s my fault…’

Instead of smiling happily like before, Rudis’s facial muscles tensed up just by my appearance, and she looked anxious as if she was looking at a bomb. I wanted to kill myself for not even noticing that until that idiot bitch spoke up.

I couldn’t stop again and almost made a mistake until the very end.

“Huh? What the? What were you trying to do just now?”

“… No, hey. You… stupid bitch. Did you say princess? “

“You idiot! You want to be executed?! If you nag at Papa, someone like you can be executed!”

Piana couldn’t help but giggle at Coty’s actions as he lunged at her while snorting, and covered her face with the brim of her witch’s hat before speaking softly.

“My name is Fianna Stone. I am the Black Tower Lord of the Kingdom, and the teacher of Rudis. I am known to be a being who is on the path to becoming a Black Wizard, but I don’t know if you know that.”

“… Huh? A wizard? A teacher of the commoners? Why are you so small?”

“And, thank you. Thanks to you, my head has cooled down a bit.”

“Oh my! I am grateful to the wizard!”

It was I, and no one else, who changed the atmosphere in this space and made Rudis nervous.

After understanding that, Piana turned around and called Harb, telling him to continue guiding the academy, and then spoke to Rudis.

“Disciple. Let’s talk here tonight, just the two of us. I won’t get angry or anything, so just come and listen.”

There’s so much I need to say to you, so much I need to apologize for.

“… And if you’re the daughter of Commander Yuria, don’t worry. I… will grant you any request you ask. “

I just want to tell you my honest truth right now.

Leaving those words behind, Piana left with Harb.
