I Became a Professor at the Academy

98 – Small pleasures (2)

Vacation begins and it’s fortnight.

Weather a bit hot.

The cicadas’ cries, carried by the warm wind, signaled that summer had begun in earnest.

“Have you come?”

At a late lunch, Ye-Sol Lee, who had been waiting for me after receiving a word from Claire in advance, greeted me lightly after visiting Yu Hee-sin’s temple.

“Whoops.”

Raising her head, Lee Ye-sol noticed Claire and I holding hands and gave her a unique smirk.

Sensing that her body temperature started to rise little by little from the hand I held, I naturally let go of my hand.

“The stuff.”

“Please wait a moment. And the bailiff.”

Lee Ye-sol, who was about to go upstairs, turned her head and called Claire.

“I have something to tell you.”

“… I remember that the report was all processed. Is it urgent?”

“What? Can you do that?”

“i get it.”

Claire slightly bowed her head towards me and followed Yesol Lee to the second floor.

when 30 minutes have passed since then.

“I’m sorry. Because the conversation with the executor got longer.”

“Okay.”

I took over a bag full of the Slime Queen’s essence from Yesol Lee, who came down with Claire, whose earlobes were burning red.

“Claire.”

“… … Yes?”

From the moment she came down, she had a thoughtful look on her face, and she raised her head with her eyes wide open.

Without saying anything, I held out a hand in front of Claire.

“Ah, sin… … eww… .”

“You seem to be fully conscious.”

“… … yes.”

Having managed to stop her habitual apology from me, she nodded slightly and placed her palm on top of my outstretched palm.

“Continue to buy the essence as soon as it is for sale.”

“I will.”

“Then visit again next week.”

“Please go back in peace.”

Lee Ye-sol smirked and bowed her head.

“Ah, Executor.”

“… … What.”

When I paused, Claire turned her head and answered rather curtly. Lee Ye-sol covered her mouth with her hand and continued.

“Things will be sent together through the children.”

“Mu, mu… … !! Blood, I didn’t need it… … !!”

Claire, who was suddenly in a fit of fuss, tried to struggle with her left hand, and when she realized that she was intertwined with her left hand, she hurriedly closed her parted lips and lowered her raised hand.

“Huh~ Then, I’ll see you next week.”

“Oh… … .”

A moan escaped from Claire’s lips.

Leaving Lee Ye-sol, who still liked to tease my superior, I left the temple gate with Claire. As soon as they came out, the hot sunlight and wind intensely announced their existence.

Woowook Huh.

It drew in the surrounding magic power and blocked the unpleasant heat and wind.

“Claire.”

“… … Yes?”

She left the distance of light and quietly gnashed her teeth until she reached the fork in the road, then raised her head startled.

“I think he said he ran out of snacks.”

“Ah, that, yes. As the children keep coming and going, the rate of decrease is too fast… . But it’s not something you should buy right away. I still have some spare time, so I’ll be alone later—”

“done. I don’t know why you’re going to go out again with something that can be solved while you’re out.”

“Ugh… .”

It seems that forcing him to laugh several times certainly had an effect. Seeing him so desperately put up with an apology.

I couldn’t find a suitable replacement word, so I took Claire, who was struggling to find a replacement, and walked to the mart used by students.

Heading to the center, there was a slightly larger shopping mall where convenience facilities were gathered, but as Claire said, it was enough to just buy snacks to eat lightly.

“Come on… … ?”

Entering the mart through the slow-opening automatic door, an employee looking at the counter greets us and freezes.

-wow… … .

-Are you going on a date?

Subsequently, some of the students who stayed at the school and were using the facilities found us and whispered among themselves.

‘It’s not like I can’t act when I see things like this.’

Claire, who entered the mart, hardened her expression before she knew it and was looking forward with her characteristic cold gaze. If you look a little closer, you’ll find that the lobes of her ears and the nape of her neck are glowing bright red, but I don’t know if any of the students have big livers who can see her clearly.

“I think this will be enough.”

Claire filled the basket with chocolates and drinks.

“A week will be fine.”

“… A week or so.”

It’s not even a staple food, and this amount of snacks only lasts for a week.

“Bo, you need an envelope, yo… ?”

While Claire was checking out, my gaze caught my eye on a box of instant coffee on display next to the counter.

“130,000… uh, huh?”

The clerk was taken aback by the coffee box that suddenly flew to the counter.

Claire casually brought it to the barcode machine.

“Calculation.”

“Ah, 140,000… … .”

While she was paying, I magically lifted the envelope on top and the coffee box I had added.

After the checkout was over, we were greeted by the staff and left the mart.

“Is there anything more to do?”

“… There is not.”

After all the outside schedule was over, I held her hand again and walked towards the mansion.

After passing through the maze without any special conversation, we arrived at the mansion and opened the front door and went inside.

-Beep?!

“… … ?”

Claire, who was about to take off her shoes and change into slippers, quickly backed away, startled by the sound of the fairy under her feet.

It was a small accident that occurred when the fairy’s presence faded to the point that even Claire couldn’t detect it if she wasn’t paying attention.

“danger… … .”

-Shhh!!

Embarrassed Claire tried to bend down, but the fairy poked her head out of her slippers and placed a small hand on her smaller lips, signaling to be quiet.

Without further explanation, I could easily guess what he was doing, so I grabbed the guy hiding in Claire’s with my magic while changing into my own slippers.

-Pun?!

The chick that hadn’t matured in the slightest bleeped and flew straight through Claire’s ponytail.

“School, professor… ?”

Claire stared at me and blinked, as if she was embarrassed because she had suddenly hidden the fairy in her hair.

-Looking for it?

– Did you hide well?

-hehehe, I’ll tickle you a lot!!

Then, three voices echoed through the hallway.

Thinking I’d explained enough, I left Claire standing there blankly behind and walked to the kitchen with Jim.

“Wow?!”

“Oh, you came… ?”

“ah… … .”

Just in time, the three people who had opened the door and came out found me and each reacted differently.

“Don’t worry and do what you are doing.”

“… Is it okay if I go into the study?”

“yes.”

“Whew… … .”

After my permission was given, Hana Baek let out a sigh of relief.

Then, as I was unloading in the kitchen, I heard the children greeting Claire. Not long after that, Claire came into the kitchen.

-Hi-Hi.

The fairy poked her head out from the back of Claire’s long hair and smiled innocently.

– Where are you?

– Did you hide well?

-Maybe he hid in the bedroom again.

As the children’s voices drew closer, the one who had poked his head out hid again in Claire’s hair.

The guys kept poking around in the wrong places, not even dreaming that the fairy was hiding in Claire’s hair.

In the meantime, Claire arranged the snacks in the bag in the cupboard and finished displaying the drinks in the refrigerator.

-Beep hee hee!

It was only after entering the study that the fairy quietly appeared and landed on the desk. Then, proudly, he held out his two small hands toward me and wept bitterly.

-Good luck~!

During those few days, the boy who had learned to distinguish between honorifics, probably because he had learned words from the children and Claire, made his eyes sparkle.

-It’s a little girl!!

After receiving the essence of the Slime Queen from me, the girl bowed down and sat down on the floor holding the jelly in her arms, munching her mouth.

-Beep~

Claire looked at the guy who puffed out his cheeks and gnawed at the jelly with a complicated gaze. But that’s for a while.

Tok, Took.

He took out his smartphone from his bosom and began to capture the image of a fairy eating jelly. There must already be several videos of the same composition in the same composition, but Claire did not stop capturing the image of the fairy. As if I was writing a journal about Baekhana.

Swoop.

When he had eaten half of the jelly, the library door opened and Baek Ha-na peeked out.

“You!!”

-Beep?!

The fairy was startled by Baek Ha-na’s voice.

– Beep!!

He stuffed half of the remaining jelly into his mouth.

“Puff… … .”

Laughter erupted from Claire’s mouth as she watched it.

“what? What?”

Hana Baek, unaware of the situation as the fairy was on her back, quickly came this way. Then, when he found a fairy with puffed cheeks like a squirrel, he burst into laughter.

By the way.

– Beep?!

The guy, who was trying to swallow a jelly the size of his head into his mouth, suddenly jumped up and started pounding his chest and muttering.

“Uh, sister?!”

“No, that, now, wait… … .”

It was a situation where I could tell that it was caught in the neck, but because the subject was so small, the two laughing at the same time panicked and panicked.

-Beep?!

“Uh, what should I do?!”

“Ugh, that, school, professor… … .”

– What’s up?

– What is it?

Then came the sound of the other two children running into the study.

“Woojin!!”

“professor… .”

As if they had promised, Claire and Hana Baek grabbed both of my arms.

“under.”

I shook my head and moved my magic while looking at the fairy who was beating my chest in front of me.

‘There is not a single day that passes quietly… … .’

I just want the vacation to end soon.

**

late evening.

“See you tomorrow~”

“sleep well.”

“Do you go to bed early?”

-bye bye~

Hana Baek left the mansion behind the fairy who was sitting on Claire’s shoulder and waving her hand cutely.

“Huh~ Today was also worthwhile.”

“Yeah. It’s so much fun even without games.”

Idney and Maria smiled pleasantly as they walked through the maze, where the music of unknown insects could be heard gently.

“Is it one?”

“… … uh?”

Paek Ha-na, who was contemplating something by herself, raised her head as she came to her senses at Maria’s call.

“What are you thinking?”

“Uh, just. I was wondering if it would be nice to buy some doll clothes.”

“… … under.”

Maria, who was walking through the maze, suddenly stopped.

“Mistress, stop dangerously suddenly.”

“… … Why didn’t I think of that?”

“what. What are you talking about-“

“doll… … !! new clothes… !!”

“uh? Hey, hey!!”

Idney shook his head with a look of absurdity at Maria’s sudden outburst and running away.

“Because I really don’t know. Isn’t it?”

“… what is it Sometimes it doesn’t.”

It was difficult for Hana Baek to say otherwise.

“But is Lee Na-young busy?”

“Well. They say there are several experiments to do during vacation.”

“But can’t we play together at least one day a week? Really, I live a busy life. You only live once, so you should take a break and do that.”

“You are just trying to rest too much.”

“Ebebe~”

“What is it?”

“Puha~!!”

When Hana Baek got out of the maze while chatting with Idni, the light on the smart watch she was wearing on her wrist came on.

“What?”

“Looks like you got an email.”

Hana Baek manipulated her smart watch to open the newly arrived mail.

Edney, who was watching it from the side, glanced at him and asked.

“who is this? professor?”

“no. Seohee.”

“Nam Seo-hee? Why is he?”

To Idni’s question, Hana Baek responded by replying.

“They say they’ll be back at the dorm tomorrow.”
