Yumina took a sip of grapefruit ade and turned off the eavesdropping app. It’s an invasion of privacy. That’s right. That was a little insensitive.

“When was the listening device installed?”

“It’s okay. I installed it when I attacked the first rift instead of the magical girl.”

“Of course you don’t know, right?”

“That’s right. Shall I tell you?”

“no!”

“Now that I think about it, I think I was too insensitive. I think the person concerned should know.”

“No!”

Yumina was shocked and shook her head. cute.

“So, why are you telling me this? I’m a little scared right now.”

“It’s so scary.”

“Pooh.”

It’s true that even if you puff out your cheeks, it’s okay.

They haven’t done anything special, but they’re secretly on guard. Is it because I usually go out too much? Still, it would have been within an acceptable range, right? Although I am living in a barracks, I am not really living in a barracks. I am only living in a range that is acceptable to those around me.

For example, when either Do Yoo-gun or Yu-mina gets tired while playing together, they tend to ignore the existing schedule and go home, but we also do that depending on the situation. Because I don’t want to lose my personal relationships while living here for convenience. There’s also a reason why I don’t have any worthy friends other than these two.

But this is something that is disgusting and irritating for Yumina, and not something that will make her wary, right? Looking back on my memories, there are many parts that sting me, but I am confident that I have kept the line.

Did this really do something? Even if I had thought about putting a leash on it, it wouldn’t have been noticeable. Is it because of my grandfather’s intervention last time? That sounds plausible. My grandfather really hinders me in many ways.

When I stopped thinking and looked at Yumina, I still pouted. Puuune.

“It’s not something you should be scared of, it’s just something to worry about.”

“Hmm?”

“I learned a lot of things because I installed a wiretapping device.”

“Is it okay for me to listen to this?”

“yes I’m fine.”

“Unfortunately, this is an unreliable answer.”

“That’s a very sad thing to say. It’s a trivial story that can be guessed even if I don’t say it. There’s no need to say it’s okay. There were many situations I expected while installing the wiretapping device, and most of them turned out to be true, but now that I actually experienced it, I have to say I’m embarrassed.”

“……What is it?”

One of Yumina’s eyebrows slightly rose.

“I have a lot of female friends.”

“Aha! That’s natural. No way would you have a friend like my lady.”

“That’s true, but it doesn’t feel right to hear it out loud, does it?”

“Hi-Hi.”

“Hmm… Anyway, it’s shocking.”

“Hmm. How exactly is it shocking?”

Yumina leaned on the table and asked in a soft voice.

“It feels like I’ve suddenly been hit with cold water.”

“Wow! And?”

“We need to educate them before it’s too late.”

Yumina suddenly had a blank expression, as if she was full of question marks.

“It’s full of question marks.”

“Yeah, that’s what it looks like.”

“Why is education suddenly popping up there?”

“So? What should stick out?”

“Of course I’m jealous!”

“I asked for no reason. Anyway, since Do Yu-geon has no dating experience, I’m worried that he might fall for a bad girl for no reason.”

“Our girl is a bad girl.”

“He’s a bad kid. So you don’t like him?”

“No. That’s the charm point.”

hmm. A compliment is a compliment, but somehow it doesn’t feel like a compliment.

“Since I don’t have any dating experience, I’m wondering if I should help him gain experience.”

Yumina tilted her head.

“Our young lady also has no dating experience.”

“Why am I not there?”

I was so shocked that I thought it was a mistake. It was there in my past life, but not in this life.

“It’s true that you have no experience with men.”

“Weren’t you slow to respond? I’m suspicious.”

“Where is someone as pure as me?”

“Hmm. Now that you say that, I really don’t trust you.”

“I know.”

Yumina was lost in thought as she sucked grapefruit ade through a straw.

“What do you mean, let me gain experience?”

“It’s just like the saying. You need enough data to make a judgment, so you have to accumulate dating experience to know if the other person is a good person.”

“You mean that our lady is going to date?!”

I’m excited.

“I would applaud the attempt to put it together somehow, but no.”

“It can’t be done there or there! Oh really!”

I suddenly have a temper. Yumina exaggeratedly grabbed the back of my neck, so I ignored it and just drank cappuccino. Hehe, it’s nice that it’s warm. After all, cappuccino in winter. In the summer, I like cappuccino depending on how hot I feel.

“After all, I’m not saying I’m going to let anyone date me!”

“That can’t be right. Just calm down. Don’t be mean-spirited. Of course, you should connect with a selected partner. It would be a shameful thing to pick just anyone.”

“That’s what you mean!”

Something is out of focus. You should have some coffee. I ignored Yumina who was saying something in front of me and drank my coffee. After taking a few sips while looking at the scenery outside the window, Yumina seemed to have calmed down and became speechless.

“Are you calm?”

“Yeah. In a bad way.”

“Then that’s a relief.”

“I heard it’s the bad side. Why don’t you ask?”

“I think you need to choose your first partner very carefully. The first experience determines the direction of anything. You should leave it as a good experience.”

“Are you really not asking?”

“But actually, you don’t have to choose. It’s already been decided.”

“who?”

He pointed forward with his hand. Yumina looked at both sides of herself and then turned around and looked back. This is a room, so there is a wall behind it. I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed.

Yumina trembled with her finger and pointed at herself.

“……me?”

“huh.”

“me?!”

“Yep.”

Should I now answer yes, yes?

“You’re kidding, right?”

“It’s not.”

“Did I make some mistake?”

“No way.”

“Then why?”

“It’s because he’s the most suitable partner. He has a lot of dating experience, he’s smart, and he’s someone you can trust. Where can you find someone like this?”

Yumina twitched her fingers and muttered.

“I’ve been in a relationship, but I haven’t been in a relationship for a while, and I’m not particularly smart, and I worry a lot about money these days, so I’m not a person I can trust….”

I leaned forward and drank the grapefruit ade. It’s sour and sweet. Yumina seemed to be embarrassed and stopped speaking.

“Self-blame doesn’t fit the times. It’s better to be proud.”

“It’s not good for a world with only people like our lady.”

“You have a lot of unnecessary worries. I will support your budget. Are you going to do it?”

Yumina pondered and pointed out the window. I looked around and saw a couple hugging and spinning in the middle of the street.

“I don’t know if I’m jealous.”

“There’s no need to worry.”

“We’ll see if it’s for good or not. But right now, it’s difficult because we’re busy.”

“Are criminals still rampaging?”

“It’s quieted down a bit now, but Laplace is getting excited, saying it’s time for the government to intervene, so something unprecedented is happening. Will they really intervene? What do you think?”

“Well, I’m not confident in political engineering, so I don’t know how the political world will work.”

“Don’t you meet politicians?”

“Often when my dad comes to visit me for work, it’s annoying and I tend to avoid him. Anyway, I get it. Just tell me when you have time, it’s not urgent. I’m sure he won’t suddenly fall in love with some random girl when there’s a beautiful girl like me next to him.”

“That’s true, but… I’d rather blame myself.”

what.

When I was under the eaves across from the academy, snow covered the street. It’s cold. I held the hot drink I had taken out with both hands and sucked on the straw. The sweet taste wet my tongue. Unfortunately, this is cocoa. The security guard who bought this didn’t make a mistake. It is difficult to close the lid of cappuccino because of the milk foam. huh. Should I cut it? I just thought of doing it.

As I waited, rubbing the PET cup with both hands, the kids from the academy came rushing down. Ah, is it finally over? I relaxed my crouching position and stood up. My legs are stiff. If it weren’t for the people, it would float by magic. But then I can’t exercise.

Looking at the students coming down, there was no Do Yu-geon. Where did you go? I expanded my senses and looked around the academy to see Do Yoo-geon organizing the chairs that had been left out here and there by putting them in the desk. What, this person is waiting now and they are putting a chair in it. Of course, I don’t know if you’re waiting.

“Can I borrow your umbrella?”

There was a student next to where the voice came from. Looking back at his blushing face, he looked like a student who had just come down from school. It’s someone I don’t know.

When I looked at the academy again, of course Do Yu-geon was not there. It’s true that I don’t know what to expect, but I feel sad that I don’t know. If you read their behavior patterns, it’s definitely possible, so wouldn’t it be better to come down quickly and take a look instead of putting a chair in? It’s not much of a loss.

“hey……?”

Just check if there’s a chair over here, then go up and straighten it out. I can’t do that.

“Hmm! Hey, who are you?”

A student being dragged away by a security guard was silenced as background music. We waited some more, watching the snow fall, and finally Do Yu-geon came down. It is clear that there is no umbrella because the person is confused when they see the snow. I thought so.

He said quietly while passing the drink to the side.

“umbrella.”

The drinks were gone and an umbrella was held in empty hands. Okay, let’s go. It was good to go, but it would be difficult to fall asleep on the way, so I walked carefully on the snow. Footprints were left behind.

“Is there anyone left with an umbrella?”

Here it is.

“here!”

huh? When I heard an unfamiliar shout and looked up, an umbrella was thrown at Do Yu-geon. The umbrella that had been snatched away was cloudy, opened, and easily blocked my eyes.

ah.

“Thank you! Let’s play a game of soccer later!”

Isn’t this such a refreshing answer?

Do Yu-geon said goodbye brightly to the guy who lent him his umbrella and turned around. Then, he seemed to have found this place and came closer.

You’re really good at it on your own. I don’t know if I should like this or hate it.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a lot of friends?”

“Huh? Right? But what happened here? Did you just happen to be passing by?”

“Yes, that’s right. I heard there was an academy exam today so I stopped by on my way.”

Do Yu-geon looked at this expression and turned his gaze back. When I look behind me, I see only bodyguards.

“Where were you going?”

“It’s not that important. How was your test today?”

“It was pretty good.”

“and.”

This is a confident answer. Are your efforts paying off?

“How much is pretty good? Is it at the level of Yumina?”

“How much is it for Yumina?”

“About second place in the whole school.”

“If you are a prestigious university and ranked second in your school, the standards are too high….”

“You have to aim high.”

“I already set it too high.”

“Already high? Then your goal is to be first in the entire school?”

“What does it mean to be first in the whole school?”

He pointed this way with both hands.

“me.”

“Uh… that’s right. That’s the goal.”

“Then that’s impossible. It’s been a while since you started studying, and you’re already aiming for first place, a complete thief.”

“Aim high…”

“Heungheung.”
