I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

42 – Sleeping (2)

“…?”

For a moment, I wondered if I had heard it wrong.

I never thought that Isabella would hiccup.

“… Uhm. I was surprised when he suddenly wrapped around my waist, so I didn’t even know- hi!”

As soon as she is about to come up with an excuse belatedly, Isabella starts hiccuping again.

I can’t see her face because I’m holding her from behind, but her ears are more red than before, so she seems to be quite shy.

Come to think of it, I didn’t consider how much of a stimulus hugging her from behind would be for her now.

‘Well, I’ve never had contact with a man before…’

witch.

Isabella has a nickname of a witch, but in fact, rumors have been inflated.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I know very well that Isabella has a girlish sensibility like no other woman.

“Hey! Ah…why, why are you doing this? hahahaha… Commoner, don’t worry. It will be resolved soon- Heeup!”

It seems that the hiccups were caught properly.

I think it will go for at least 30 minutes, but if that happens, it’s impossible to put her to sleep in 15 minutes.

“Wait a minute. I will make you well soon.”

So I pulled back the curtains covering us and went to the instructor.

To get cold water and cups.

“Cold water and a cup? It won’t help you sleep.”

“I want to stop hiccups.”

“…? Well, I’ll find out soon. You might have an idea.”

The instructor said, ‘If it’s you, you have an idea’ and gives you a cup and water.

Apparently, even to this instructor, my rumors seem to be money.

Seeing them handing you a cup and water without paying much attention.

Anyway, when I came back to Isabella with a cup and water, she was sitting on the bed, washing her face dry.

It seems that I have been embarrassed in my heart.

“Hey, Isabella.”

“!”

Isabella flinched as if a cat’s hair was standing up.

She glanced at me with a flushed face.

hi!

After one hiccup, he spoke in a crawling voice.

“Wow, are you here? But is that all? Hiccup – hi! He told me to stop.”

Isabella looks at what I’m holding with an unreliable expression.

I just smiled and approached her.

After filling a paper cup with water, he stood in front of her and said.

“Because I can stop just drinking water. From now on, you can follow what I am doing.”

I said that and demonstrated.

After standing upright,

I bent my back at 90 degrees.

Isabella’s expression darkened.

But I looked straight ahead, not caring.

The posture of looking straight ahead with the waist bent at 90 degrees.

It’s a very funny position, but it’s perfect for stopping hiccups.

I said after drinking a little water from the paper cup in that state.

“Drinking water in this difficult position can stop hiccups. You drink all the water in the cup.”

“·······”

She looks at me with an expression as if she saw something she couldn’t see.

Yeah, it’s kind of weird.

But this is the way to stop hiccups, and it is Isabella’s turn to do just that.

“Now, try it.”

So I poured water into the cup again and handed it to Isabella.

Isabella replied with a puzzled expression.

“This, it really works- hig! Will? …the posture is too…”

“I bet you. If you do what I tell you to do, it will stop unconditionally, so follow me.”

How to stop hiccups.

I found it by searching for it in the past.

And this method, so far, has stopped all the hiccups.

Finally, with a disapproving look on her face, Isabella snatched the cup and said,

“Just try not to.”

She stands up with a cup.

As expected, perhaps because she is a child of a high-ranking grand duke, she seems to be paying attention to me.

However, when I encouraged him by saying, “Come on,” in the end, he bent his back at 90 degrees.

And he raised his head straight up.

Her ears were red as if they were about to explode.

-gulp… gulp… gulp…

However, despite his disapproving expression, he followed my instructions well.

The water in the paper cup that was overflowing started to disappear gradually.

Eventually, when all the water in the paper cup disappeared, she hurriedly raised her upper body.

“…”

And waited.

I wonder if the hiccup won’t happen again.

“Five···?”

doesn’t fly

my way is through

Isabella said with a broad smile.

“Really… is this going to happen?”

“Look. I said yes.”

A natural smile spread across Isabella’s face.

It wasn’t an artificial expression of looking down on others as usual, but a smile like an innocent child.

“You really know a lot. Solving this too?”

“It’s just a magazine style. Shall we try again? We have less than 10 minutes left.”

“Oh. I was in class.”

Isabella laughed and climbed onto the bed.

The shyness seems to have disappeared now, and he was waiting for me with a relaxed look.

“Kuhm”

However, her defenseless appearance is somewhat voluptuous. I coughed for nothing.

Then he climbed onto the bed where she was and went behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist.

flinch! Her body trembled, but only for a moment.

“…”

But this time I was the problem.

I feel like my brain is going blank.

I have to do something, how did I put her to sleep?

Also, the game and the real world are different.

While holding such a beautiful girl from behind, there was no way he could keep his composure.

“Pu-sup…”

Then, Isabella burst into laughter.

She suddenly took my hand and said.

“The sound of breathing is quite rough. I guess there are times when you get flustered too.”

“…”

“thank god. I felt like a child until just now, but now I feel like I’m a little equal.”

Saying that, Isabella pulled my arm in a little more provocatively.

But judging by the reddening of her ears, it seemed that Isabella was bluffing as well as pretending to be relaxed as best she could.

Thanks to that, I was able to relax.

“Hmm. Then let’s get started. Shall we start with image association first?”

I said that and closed my eyes.

And I recalled the memory of putting her to sleep in the previous episode.

Then a field of pure white snow opened up.

However, the flesh of monsters and demons were scattered all around.

A stench that stings your nose to the point where your head tingles.

But among them are me and Isabella.

Isabella was breathing heavily in my arms.

Ha-ha- With every rough breath, pure white breath disperses into the air and disappears.

Then she reaches over my face and caresses my cheek.

-Lastly, let me sleep. I want to fall asleep listening to your voice

A large hole in her abdomen.

My heart grows cold.

Why does the memory of leaving Isabella come to mind?

But regardless of my willpower, the memories flow.

As usual, I held Isabella in my arms and performed the ‘image association method’ in a low voice.

– The whole world is a snow country.

“The whole world is a snow country.”

And I recited it according to the memory.

The Isabella in the memory and the Isabella in reality crossed.

– No matter which way you look, it’s just a world full of eyes. A pure white horizon spreads out.

“Looking in any direction, it’s a world full of eyes. A pure white horizon spreads out.”

The Isabella in my memory looked at me and gave me a faint smile.

The blood on her finger that touched my cheek ran down my cheek.

-By the way, a blizzard started to blow.

“Then, a snowstorm begins.”

Cool- The Isabella in my memory spurted blood.

As I hurriedly try to stop the bleeding, he grabs my arm and shakes his head.

Realizing that the end was approaching, my shoulders began to tremble.

– Please continue.

However, as she wished, she continued to recite the method of image association.

said in a low voice.

– The snowstorm is getting stronger. The frigid wind tears your skin apart and makes it dry. The rapidly accumulating snow slows my steps.

The real Isabella began to tremble.

He grabbed my hand, pulled his legs inward, and crouched down.

However, I continued to recite the method of association of images in my memory.

-In the meantime, over- I see a cave in the distance. A warm light flows from the entrance of the cave.

The memory of Isabella smiled faintly.

He muttered, ‘That cave I like…’ and held my hand.

I nodded and recited the next line.

-We go straight to the cave. Even if a cold strong wind blocks us, even if our legs sink in the snow that keeps piling up, we never rest. That’s how we ended up in the cave.

The real Isabella has regained her stability.

Her shivering shoulders calmed down, and her rapid breathing began to subside.

I uttered the following line.

-We came into the cave. Then, to my surprise, I don’t feel a single scary blizzard outside. What the hell is this mysterious cave? The light gets brighter as you go inside. Eventually, there is a bonfire at the end of the cave we arrived at. It’s a warm fire that melts a cold, frozen body.

Cool- Cool-.

Every time Isabella coughed, blood spurted out.

Blood was flowing profusely from her mouth.

But she said with a faint smile.

-As expected… your sleeping method… always works…

The life in Isabella’s eyes began to fade.

As I took her hand, Isabella nodded silently.

I meant to continue.

– Surprisingly, there are people we like sitting around the campfire. From our dearest friends, colleagues, professors, and even your older sister. Everyone is smiling at you. And you smile at them too. This cave is a cave where your power does not work.

···Kumbeok-Kumbeok-.

Isabella’s eyes began to close.

However, she said that even though her eyes were not completely closed, she could see clearly into the cave.

He said with a blurry smile that he could see the faces of his precious people sitting around the campfire.

– You too… sit down.

And among them, I said I was sitting.

Sitting right next to her, she leaned her head on my shoulder.

I gave her a shoulder and told her we were holding each other’s hands.

-That’s where we… we were completely connected.

And we continued from there.

We, who could not be connected in any other way, were connected before death like this.

-I love you.

And that was all.

Isabella in my arms smiled brightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Then, her hand, which had been caressing my cheek, fell like a doll made of boiled thread, and I could not hear any breathing from her mouth, which was blowing white breath.

I was finally freed from the long agony.

“Ko…Ko…”

Eventually, I got out of my mind.

Isabella was still in my arms.

while sleeping quietly.

“Huh…?”

Blinking, eyes widened.

Have you ever been asleep?

I jumped up and looked around, and Ed was nowhere to be seen.

I hurriedly got out of bed and pulled back the curtains that covered all sides, but no one was in the practice room.

class is over

“uh····?”

Did I sleep this long?

Isabella cupped her head with both hands.

It was the first time in my life that I was humiliated like this to show such a defenseless appearance.

How can you be so shabby!

“for a moment···.”

Isabella, suddenly in a frightened mood, touched her lips.

Saliva dripped from his fingers.

It will fall asleep in an ugly form.

Isabella hurriedly went to the place where she slept and checked the pillow.

It was full of saliva and left wet marks.

“…”

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Why did I fall asleep in such a defenseless state?

What if you can’t control your emotions?

“… Ha, but it’s refreshing.”

It was still a good night’s sleep

I fell asleep for the first time in a while.

It feels like my mind, which has always been foggy, has become clear.

“Edgar Fixes…”

Isabella muttered the name of Ed, who had done this amazing thing.

When I think of him, I smile for some reason.

The cave he spoke of when he put himself to sleep.

The cave was too warm.

It was a cozy and happy cave, enough to throw away all worries and worries.

-Then kill that puppy.

But Isabella was able to smile only for a moment.

Suddenly, the memories of the saddest day flashed by, and the smile that spread across my face disappeared without a trace.

The excitement in her eyes began to fade quickly.

Soon, as usual, she stared into space with unlit eyes.

Then he murmured, twisting the corners of his mouth.

“It’s fine. The deeper your relationship with him…”

Slowly, a black haze rose.

Isabella’s lips twisted grotesquely.

“I can become stronger.”

Kudeudeuk-kudeudeuk- Negative feelings began to rise.

In her imagination, Ed was screaming and cursing himself.

After all, you were a garbage witch, sobbing so hard that you couldn’t breathe properly, blaming yourself.

“Whoop… whoop whoop…”

A black haze spread in all directions.

It was the strongest denial among all the negative emotions I had absorbed recently.

Isabella muttered, flicking her tongue.

“It is delicious. It tastes very good.”

Isabella muttered as she looked at the bed Ed and herself were lying on.

Her eyes twisted wickedly.

“How long can you last?”

Isabella left her last words and turned her head.

Leaving the practice room, I walked alone in the empty hallway.

A black haze radiated from her body and pulsated in all directions.

And the negative emotions overflowing from her body did not subside.
