I Want To Save the Academy Time-Limited Madman

45 – 7. Where the treasure rests (2)-The cat meows.

And then another day passed.

While servicing a stall to start selling taiyaki, red hair was seen under a tree. It’s Jena.

“What are you doing there?”

“Ah… Senpai are you here…? The butterfly became like this…”

Looking at Jenna’s expression, she looked sad for some reason. What’s going on?

I wondered, and when I approached, the mother cat was dead, and the kittens were constantly licking the belly of the dead mother.

“Mya…”

“Meow…”

“I saw this when I first came to the academy… But when I saw it again, it looked like this…”

Jenna squeezed her hands together with her bitter eyes closed.

I approached the mother cat.

The mother cat’s eyes were already unfocused, but she was looking towards the kittens nonetheless.

I covered his eyes.

Then she opened her eyes.

[Ghost Communion].

“Meow…Oowong.”

“Were you there?”

The spirit of the mother cat was also licking the kitten’s head.

Because a dead soul has no weight, it is easy to disappear without a strong root of lingering attachment.

Whatever you want to do, do it quickly.

I opened my eyes again holding the kittens.

[Ghost Communion – Sight Sharing].

For a moment, the eyes of the living and the dead met.

“Miaah…!”

“Meow. Sheep..!”

Seeing the mother cat, the kittens continued to circle around her, crying as if expressing their joy.

Passs.

The mother is trying to lick the kitten while the soul is slowly fading away.

For the soul, a strong lingering attachment has its own weight.

Conversely, if the lingering feelings fade or are resolved, the soul will be destroyed. Like being swept away by a wave.

“Go carefully. Don’t get sick on the way.”

“Meaaa.”

Our eyes met briefly before the mother cat’s soul disappeared.

No one is free from death.

I realized that fact again after a long time.

“Senior…”

Jenna gently grabbed my sleeve with a melancholy expression on her face. The death of the cat must have been quite a shock.

I rolled up my arms and got ready.

“Don’t worry too much. You’ll be in a good place.”

“Nmm… But… What are you doing..?”

“Leave it like this, so I’m going to bury it.”

“Ah.. I, I’ll join you too..!”

If you leave it as it is, worms will dig up the cat’s corpse or maggots will take over.

Appearance doesn’t look too good.

It’s absolutely not because someone is making a face that looks like they’re about to cry.

I lifted the cat carcass.

.

“It’s all buried.”

He dug up and buried the cat. And he also erected a tombstone.

[The year of death of the cat is unknown-Rainy day].

“…..”

I think it was made for nothing.

It rained while making the grave, so Jenna went to get an umbrella in the middle. She

That means she and I are sharing one umbrella.

Jenna, who was staring blankly at the tombstone, said.

“There is a senior. Can I talk about the old days?”

“Tell me.”

“It would be boring. It wouldn’t be fun.”

“It’s okay, so you can tell me.”

“Huh. Yes.”

Jenna lifts her little head and looks at the overcast sky.

“When I was little.. My family all died..”

Her story continues.

“Actually… I don’t remember how she died. I only have good memories…”

“……”

Jenna scratched her head awkwardly.

After losing her family, she becomes a mercenary.

Although she keenly feels the cold reality, she still has hope for people. She never loses hope for good.

“I still really, really want to see you.. Because I can’t see you anymore..”

“What kind of people were your parents?”

“hehehe. Mom was really pretty..! But when she got angry, she was really scary… And Dad didn’t like the smell of cigarettes? But she was very kind.”

“They were nice people.”

“That’s right.. And she also had a sister. Her sister’s name was.. Um.. Anyway, she was cute.”

The shock of her childhood sometimes shakes a person’s personality or memories.

I looked at Jenna without saying anything.

“I don’t remember how old she was, but one day, her sister started crying. Her body hurts a lot.”

“…Are you sick?”

“Yes. The doctor came and looked at her brother and told her very coldly and clearly. It was terminally ill. It wouldn’t last more than half a year.”

“……”

My body flinched when I heard the word ‘limited time’.

Don’t panic. ‘Cause I’m never going to die anyway

“When I was young, I really hated my younger brother who was crying all the time because I didn’t know what he was talking about. He made my mom and dad suffer. So, I yelled at them several times to tell them not to cry…”

Jenna paused her words and bit her lower lip.

It was a story that even I, who played [Pro Seven] For 23,000 hours, did not know.

Suddenly, I felt skeptical about myself. I just liked Jenna, and she had no interest in what she was going through.

“I instinctively knew since my brother was gone. I will never see him again… I think I cried for the first time that day.”

“……”

“So… I hope no one around me dies. It hurts. My mind and body.”

“…….”

“Ahahahaha.. Did you say a lot of strange things today? Senior, you must be tired.. Seeing the cat dead, I was depressed so stop.”

“It’s okay.”

Jenna, the main character of [Pro Seven], Has always been bright. It’s not just her jokes, there are elements that can confirm her positive personality in almost every episode.

Even when betrayed by others, he smiles like Hogu, forgives easily, is sensitive to the pain of others but dull to his own.

She may have admired her subconsciously.

Excessively bright Xena.

“I’m sure you’ll be delighted.”

“Yes..? What is..?”

“Hasn’t he become such a wonderful person?”

“Aha…”

When she noticed that I was comforting her, her expression changed in an unusual way. She looks like she has found her prey.

“Am I cool? How cool? How much?”

“If I had to ask…”

“Huh? Huh? Huh huh?”

Her mischievous face is so mischievous.

That’s what I need to say. You are the main character The protagonist who has been connected to me for 23,000 hours.

Takes her hand by her red hair.

As she stroked her soft hair, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth,

She opened her lips as she tilted her umbrella on her shoulder.

“The best in the world.”

.

The sound of the rain faded and the sun rose.

“….. Heck, heck, heck..!”

Her expression, which had been playful until just now, changed to bewilderment.

My ears turn red, my pupils dilate, and I try not to meet my eyes. You keep trying to avoid me..?

As expected, I don’t have a knack for consolation.

It seems like the situation got twisted like an idiot again.

I looked at Jenna, who was avoiding my eyes.

Not knowing what to do, she hurriedly turned her words around. Still without looking into my eyes.

“Yes, that’s right..! Do you know that I said it was really good when I showed my sunbae’s lunchbox to Lang and Rosé?! They asked for a bite..!

“That’s a good thing.”

She decided to let go of the pathetic hand gestures and foot gestures.

I folded it because I no longer needed an umbrella. Sunlight enters the body.

“…Senior. Can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?”

“Can’t you carry it? Just once.”

“I hate it.”

“Ah~ why..?!”

“My back hurts.”

“Ah, just one time..! One more time..!”

“…..”

I looked at Jenna with puzzled eyes.

I am most annoyed by puffing out my cheeks as if I’m sad. I want to grab it, stretch it, and then throw it away.

“Once again..!”

Why is he suddenly babbling and f*cking?

In the end, he couldn’t overcome the torch and carried Zena on his back. It feels lighter than expected.

“Hee hee… Seniors are so hard..”

“…Is it good?”

“The ride is better than most wagons? A senior is better than a horse..!”

What are you comparing to what?

“Something like death… I’ll think about it later. We have plenty of time anyway, right? There’s next year and the year after that. The butterfly is dead, but…”

“……”

It’s next year.

“So until then, take good care of me, senpai.”

Jenna said as she hugged me tightly from behind.

I didn’t answer.

Because I don’t want to lie.

.

The next day. I packed up and went to the nursery school to volunteer.

“Ahh!”

“Don’t cry…! You’re wrong!”

“I’m hungry…”

“Heeing…”

It’s sh*t.

I don’t have any cream for my friend.

“Everyone, calm down…? I’ll cook for you right away. Didn’t I say that God is sad when you fight?”

“…Yeah…”

“Huh…”

Sister handled this situation skillfully, as if she was used to it. Surprisingly, she is soft-spoken and never loses her smile.

Is it acting?

Or is it sincere?

It’s different from the way he treated me yesterday, so I don’t know what it is.

“Oh, customer..! Would you like to sit down for a while? I’m a bit busy right now..”

A luxurious-looking chair was placed in front of me.

“Isn’t it time for lunch?”

“Yes, that’s right.. I’m just about to do it, but I’m busy..”

In fact, the nun is running around and tending to her children.

It is not enough to do it alone.

“Can I cook?”

“Yes, thank you for your help.. Bob?! Isn’t the customer a noble?”

“He was noble.”

Not now.

“Ahahahaha. The customer is good at joking. Where is the noble who cooks?”

“It’s right in front of your eyes.”

“…Eh? Really?”

The nun looks at me with distrustful eyes.

I confidently faced him.

Do you suspect me of having tried all the recipes in Pro Seven in real life? This me?

The first winner of the 1st Pro 7 Cup Cooking Contest, the last winner, and the winner of all competitions?

No matter how much I roll, no one beats me when it comes to control and cooking in Pro Seven.

“If anything, you can bet. How about 10 gold bread?”

“…Hmm, it’s not like I’m a lowly person who doubts the customer’s cooking skills. It’s fun to bet, right?”

“Mama.. Is this person cooking..? No..!”

“Oooh…! Get out! All the people who wear clothes like that are mean people!”

“Yes yes! Get out!”

The goddamn pink-headed nuns and the little ones seem to be convinced that my cooking won’t taste good.

The children laughed at me while spitting.

It is up to the cook to turn that saliva into mouthwatering.
