I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

15. The Princess and the Grand Duke of the North are in total chaos (4)

1.

“……What?”

A sullen reply came out of my mouth.

My ancestors who dreamed of the American dream and crossed the Pacific Ocean to the United States could earn at least a lot more money than in their home country.

I came to Seoul with similarly swollen dreams and was tricked by the princess and her teacher as a pair to get a fraudulent job at a graduate school and end up getting hit by a murderous job.

I got a job fraudulently now, so it’s true that I don’t look angry, but it’s true that I was crooked for an answer to a person who said he would help me.

I was going to add something belatedly to avoid any misunderstanding, but Sylphia’s lips went up.

“Isn’t it very difficult?”

A question implied as if he understood my heart.

“……Yes. It’s filthy hard here.”

“It’s usually like being a wizard’s apprentice. Even if you don’t have to use your body, there are many things that will make you mentally tired.”

The attendant just brought the meal, and Sylphia continued talking while setting the meal brought by the attendant as if familiar.

“I assure you. If you hold out for a week, Ludrick-kun will want to hit Master once?”

“It’s not a week, but even now, actually, a little bit.”

As if not expecting my cynical answer, Sylfia kicked and burst into laughter.

Do I need to wait a week?

I haven’t been to the Mage’s Tower, where Master puts swear words on his lips, but I was even thinking that maybe the Mage’s Tower would be better than here.

In a way, you tricked me into a job scam by coaxing me.

I thought I would learn magic quietly because I have talent. Who would have known that I would be dragged into graduate school?

…… Well, this is debatable.

“Ludrick-kun is eating first.”

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I usually only eat two meals a day.”

Sandwiches and coffee types are all simple and quick to complete on the menu.

Teacher tells me to eat quickly and finish research…… No, it would be a waste to use Nim from now on. From now on, I am just a teacher.

I was nervous because it was a part that showed the teacher’s grateful consideration, but since it was still something I wanted to eat and live on, Sylphia went back to her seat holding an armful of documents that were on my desk while I munched on a sandwich.

…… I’m grateful, but the consideration is a bit burdensome.

If you think about it, isn’t it like you’re serving the meal when you say it’s here, and you’re telling me to eat, but you’re taking the work that I have to do and doing it for you?

As I thought this, I instantly felt as if a halo was shining behind Sylphia. White angel wings are a bonus.

“……It’s a little burdensome if you try to take care of me like that.”

“It’s okay because you can afford it. Also, don’t think about eating quickly just because you feel burdened. Eat slowly.”

Flinch.

I was momentarily hit.

No, but a person has a conscience.

I was doing that, but the skin on my face wasn’t thick enough that I was eating my meal leisurely, so I was thinking of finishing my meal as soon as the teacher intended. I thought that if it was a dragon, something like mind-reading magic might be possible.

As far as I know, there’s no magic like that, and casting a spell on me won’t be easy at all…….

Well, if it’s a dragon, you never know.

I sent a suspicious gaze toward Sylfia’s back, but for now, I took that gaze away.

Still, he seems to be a good person…… What… ….

To say that he is a good person to dragons is a little silly, but anyway.

2.

“Whoops.”

Sylphia stretched out for a long time while letting out a soft laugh.

I glanced back and found Rudrick already asleep with his head on the table. He checked his watch and it was about three hours.

For her, who had already gone through her past before her return, this situation had a strong sense of déjà vu. It was such a familiar situation.

“It’s amazingly similar.”

Sylphia muttered as she covered her with the blanket she had prepared in advance and sat down on a chair to take a short break.

Everything was as expected.

The fact that Lorenzo, who went out to get some fresh air, wouldn’t come back for a long time, and the fact that Rudric, who tends to sleep a lot, would doze off like that and then fall asleep sooner if he was doing the work for him.

Everything is as expected by Silfia.

“There’s no way these simple things are difficult in the first place, and the welfare is certain. It’s not bad. Being a disciple of a human wizard.”

Sylphia, who was looking at Rudrick’s sleeping face, calmly shuddered.

For those who know the truth, I know that entering the Mage Tower or becoming an apprentice of a famous wizard is almost the same as claiming to be a slave, but the fact that I can see that face is already enough for welfare.

Dragon magic is a much more highly developed and sophisticated magic system than human magic.

Moreover, that is not to acquire knowledge through research, it is a kind of power that a dragon can naturally develop from the moment it is born, like breathing.

Thus, for Silfia, the alchemy-type magic that Lorenzo is currently focusing on is an extremely simple field that would be a waste to even call it research.

The work is not difficult. The only flaw was that there were too many chores, but……

“It was a surplus business.”

Just being able to take care of Rudrick like this was more than enough to offset all of those flaws.

To say that if you really like someone, even if that person doesn’t ask for anything, you want to help them if they’re having a hard time. Perhaps, she thought that it was not applicable to dragons, the most terribly selfish race on earth, but Sylphia had been acutely realizing that over the past few years.

It’s not pretentious like a common aristocratic boy, and it seems to be free-spirited, but that’s not what he intended to show to others.

And even though he seems blunt and disrespectful, on the inside, it was rather cute that he strangely looked at other people’s notices.

How cute was the way he tried to add something after his cynical reply just now, fearing misunderstandings.

“……I said it was a small fortune.”

A small but sure happiness.

At first, I remembered asking Rudrick what that meant, then hearing the meaning and asking what kind of strange abbreviation that was.

But now I felt like I could fully understand what he meant.

“I’m sorry. It’s taken longer than I thought to come back after getting some fresh air.”

“Are you here?”

And while savoring that happy feeling again, Lorenzo appeared, breaking colic. Lorenzo’s gaze, which came in nicely, turned to Rudric, who was sleeping face down on the table.

“……Heh heh, it looks like Rudrick-kun was very tired. There must still be a lot of reagents to mix, but he’s about to fall asleep.”

“I finished that, don’t worry.”

“Miss Silfia already finished?”

“I mixed all 102 types, observed the changes, organized them, and put them on the master’s table. Would you like to check them later?”

“Baby, you’re fast.”

On the contrary, it was so fast that Lorenzo, the person who ordered the research, was taken aback.

It was a natural result, since Silfia was not just a very talented wizard, but a dragon. Lorenzo, who was scratching his head with an embarrassing face, asked cautiously.

“……Then why don’t we wake up Rudrick-kun and finish here for today?”

“I’m fine. I’ll wake Rudrick-kun.”

“Okay. Then wake Miss Sylphia and send her up. I have to start researching soon, so I have a lot of things to prepare.”

“Yes.”

“Then do me a favor.”

Sylpia nodded, and Lorenzo left the lab with only those words.

From the outside, like a common wizard, he viciously rolls his students under him, and rather, he himself is seen as a model of a vicious wizard who hangs around, but the position of a court wizard was not won by gambling.

If it was really like that in the first place, Sylphia wouldn’t have stayed still.

As much as Lorenzo dictates excessive workload to his students, he was well aware that he had more of his part.

It is good to say that he is ranked among the top 1% in this era because he does not leave cumbersome chores such as preparing his research to his students, but does it himself.

Like Lorenzo disappeared again, Silfia, with a grinning smile on her face, lightly laid her hand on Ludrick’s shoulder, who had already left for over two hours in the land of dreams.

“It’s time to wake up, Rudric.”

“…….”

Of course, no answer came. As Silfia had guessed.

Because once Rudrick fell asleep, he would not know who was carrying him.

Wobble.

So this time I shook his shoulders a little more and a reaction came. As Rudrick flinched, Sylphia spoke again in a soft voice.

“I have to get up now. Master told me to go up to this point today, so go to bed and sleep. Sleeping in that position is not good for your body.”

“……Ah.”

A dreamy voice drunk from sleep.

It was the signal that Rudrick had woken up.

And things that had been repeated dozens or hundreds of times before the regression. Sylfia realized the importance of that daily life and began to move as she was accustomed to.

Now that Rudrick is awake, tidy up the lab, clean up the equipment you’ve used and prepare for the climb, then Rudrick will wake up on his own.

As expected, Rudrick staggered to his feet as soon as he started tidying up.

Seeing the blanket that covered me slide down and yawning small, covering my mouth, regardless of my disheveled clothes.

Sylphia, who was quietly looking sideways, thought about it again.

‘I’m really lucky.’

There was a heartwarming smile on his lips that he couldn’t hide.
