Episode 80. What should I call this?

“Ugh, it’s no different from 15 days ago.”

Malan clutching my forehead complaining of her headache.

Anyone would be embarrassed if a craftsman broke his things with his hands and wept bitterly when he visited because he had business.

“Is it like this every time?”

“No, in the past I drank a little heartbroken… …. For some reason, this trend has gotten worse since this year.”

If it’s from this year, at least it’s been like this since this semester…….

Damn it, I don’t even have any guesses.

If you listen to this kid’s words, he said that his mentality was split like this because someone was injured because his work was damaged, but recently, no one who has been injured that way has been brought to the health room.

“It’s because of me.”

The muttering of an old man can be heard in such an incomprehensible situation.

He dropped his hammer on the shattered shards of glass and began wailing.

“If I had made better windows, the ceiling wouldn’t have collapsed like that!!”

Ah, that’s right. The ceiling collapsed…

Hmm? Wait. What did that grandfather say just now?

“If I hadn’t done that, everyone at the scene might have died. No, it was too late when one of them had already spilled blood! If I had made a more solid window……. I could have prevented this from happening if I had made something more proper!! Ughhh!!”

Uh, um. Okay.

I think I know roughly.

Thank you for your kind explanation, sir.

“Excuse me. Old man.”

After that, I approached the screaming father-in-law, but of course the old man didn’t look back at me.

I just screamed on the spot and continued my sobbing.

“I don’t know who it is, but go back! I am very busy right now!!”

“Yes, you must be busy because of me.”

“…… What?”

Can’t I just ignore that word?

After that, when the round eyes turned to me, I answered his words with a shrug.

“That’s me. The one who almost died at that time.”

“…… Uh?”

An old man looking at me with a blank expression.

The round eyes seemed to tell me indirectly that I couldn’t believe my words.

Anyway, she would be wary of a woman who came out of nowhere and said she was the victim.

But at the same time, I was thinking about how to coax my father-in-law. Rather, the pride and anxiety about my work were regarded as a great opportunity for me now.

“How can I take it off and show it to you?”

Nothing.

If you can lead the story by showing the scars left on your back, it would be a profitable business.

***

Of course, it was obvious, but it didn’t happen to openly perform a striptease.

In the first place, the other person was overreacting to the fact that my work was damaged.

As much as you are soaked in guilt, you should have faith easily just by explaining the situation.

‘Ugh! Sorry! I’m so sorry!’

An old man who let out a scream after grasping the whole truth.

It is said that it was a somewhat intentional reaction, but it was so severe that I even vomited out my embarrassment without realizing it.

Especially because it was an accident no one expected at the time.

‘I’ve said it many times, but you don’t have to worry about it that much. In the first place, the accident that happened at that time wasn’t your lack, it was just because that child was unusual…’

‘No!!! At that time, it was entirely due to my lack! The product itself has to be reinforced, but there is a technology that accepts mana itself, and it is the result of neglecting the basic design!! A more perfect window! Only by making stronger windows can we prevent this from happening! Knock it off!’

Your skill at putting things together is a real Christmas sign.

Of course, it means that he has a lot of pride in his skills, so it’s not something to be viewed negatively.

The important thing is that as much as the other person cares too much about me, it has become easier to listen to this person’s request.

‘Yes, the elder will work hard on that…. Can you please do me a favor for now? Actually, I came here because you know a lot about ancient technology…….’

‘Yes! Just say my word! I will listen to anything I can listen to!!!’

‘Oh yes. What. I am grateful for that favor. Could you take care of the vice-president here as well, while I’m doing you a favor? He hasn’t been able to eat properly lately, so let’s have a meal together and talk.’

‘Wow! The kid can’t even eat because of me!! Such inhuman!!!!!!’

To be honest, I stopped by for a while and went back after seeing the status, so it’s not just because of that, but what……. They say they feed you instead of me, so you don’t have to worry about it.

After that, I insisted on doing my request for free, no matter how much it cost, but I also had a conscience, so I decided to hold off. Right away, I left the studio immediately after leaving the word to hand over the bill to Maris.

It is said that the investment cost will be recovered if the results are proven anyway, but even then, if a fault is caught somewhere later and the words are changed, it will only cost a fortune.

Just because such a possibility was blocked at the source through the request of the craftsman himself, the current transaction can be said to be a business that remains in many ways.

“Ah, welcome sir. Did you have a good time with him?”

“Yes, it worked out thanks to your calmness.”

After such a break, I returned to the academy, and before returning to the health room, I went to the stable and gave me the horse that had picked me up.

A white horse named Unicorn because it follows only her pure virgins.

-Fuhiing!!

As if true to its name, a unicorn exhaling furiously at the touch of a male student in the breeding department.

Seeing him bewildered, I reluctantly dragged the unicorn back to its place.

“Why is the child so ferocious? They feed you, but you have to be nice to get even one more feed.”

-Hing.

“… Who do you resemble?”

A unicorn that makes a whining sound as if it knows that it is being scolded.

I stroked his mane and left quietly.

With the loot in his hand he brought before heading to the school district.

“Hmm? Teacher. What is that?”

“It is what it looks like.”

“…… Napa cabbage?”

“Yes, that.”

From noble mtl dot com

Anyway, no matter who sees it, the cabbage is right.

It will never be a pet that is pulled on a leash and taken for a walk.

I handed him an offer just in case.

“Are you thinking of taking it for horse food?”

“Oh, sorry. Because the horses in our academy only eat proven feed…….”

“… Then there is nothing you can do.”

I thought that I should put it in the refrigerator in the kitchen room and then soak it at least later, so I returned to the health room with a thick cabbage in my arms.

“Ah, Mr. Seine is here.”

And a female student greeted me as if I had been waiting.

With her elegant black hair and neat eyes, she was a visiting student at this academy, and the saintess of Heide who had promised to take care of the health room temporarily while I was away.

“Hasn’t much happened while I’m gone?”

I think it’s been almost 15 days since we’ve been together.

As if he had gotten used to living in the health room now, he smiled and answered leisurely.

“Some students came in the middle, but since they were minor injuries, we took action and sent them back. After that, a teacher by the name of Lloyd came to visit, but it didn’t seem like it was a very urgent business, seeing as he passed away right after I informed him of his absence.”

“I always think about it, but you’re so good at handling it. I’d like to recommend her as a health teacher for Maris after I retire.”

“I am grateful for your words, but ironically, my stay here is only for a short time… …. I think it is the way for each other to focus on spending the present time with value rather than feeling regretful by assuming what if.”

The saintess smiles as she takes her joking words seriously.

Seeing her talking while placing her hand on my chest, I could confirm that she felt the broad generosity of a saint.

The color of her face has improved, and the precarious image from when we first met has disappeared……. Okay, now you don’t have to worry about anything.

“By the way, has Dale gone back already?”

“Yes, I said I was going home early today. On the way there is a reference book that I personally want to buy…….”

Your face darkens a bit, afraid to mention Dale.

She seemed to be ashamed that she hadn’t been able to close the distance with Dale yet.

Certainly, that child is in a state of mental instability. If she was imprinted with fear from her first impression, she would be rather unreasonable to approach.

“… Is your personal study going well?”

If she stays with her, she will naturally realize that she can get along well.

So she changed her subject, saying that she would not interfere, and the saintess eased her expression and gently lifted the book she was reading.

“First of all, I am building my knowledge based on the reference books recommended by Mr. Seine. She is well-organized in many ways, and it is a state of being rewarded in small ways to show results, albeit little by little.”

“I’m glad it seems to be going well. However, self-study alone has limitations, so if there is something you do not understand, feel free to ask. I’ll teach you as much as I can if I can afford it.”

“Yes, thank you for your kindness… …. Hmm?”

It took a while to prepare for private lessons at the health room after school. The saintess, who was about to publish a book, suddenly turned her attention to me, not me.

“… Seine-sensei, what is it that you hold in your arms?”

Ah, I did something.

hahahahaha, I came to the health room and I thought it was strange to see a cabbage in my hand……. Hmm? For a moment.

“What is this?”

Belatedly, I felt a fluttering sensation in my arms and looked down.

The cabbage that Mr. Ranpa gave me…….

– Panting.

No, exactly something that used to be Chinese cabbage.

“…… What is this.”

She pulled it away from her bosom and looked down at him gasping for breath.

Overall, the body is white and green.

The rough parts sprouting here and there were the unique characteristics of cabbage itself.

-Hang!

But there was a cry coming out of that cabbage that should never have been heard.

I was surprised by the sound, and when I looked again, I was able to confirm that the shape had strangely changed.

Clearly open eyes, slightly protruding nose, and four dainty legs fluttering while being held in my hands…

Yes, isn’t it a perfect puppy just by looking at its shape?

“What is this?”

A cabbage turns into a dog.

What is it? No matter how strange things happen in this school, even if it’s out of the blue, it’s so out of the blue.

“Halo…… ?”

But unlike me, the saintess seems to have realized something belatedly.

Realizing that I knew her words too, I looked back at her straight away.

“Halo, is this what you mean?”

“Yes, it would be more accurate to say that it is a Halo-inhabited object. If Seine-sensei is also a believer, I think she will be able to feel divine power from that being…….”

Certainly, at first, I was surprised and didn’t realize it, but when I concentrated while holding her in both hands, I could confirm that I could feel the subtle divine power.

It’s not just divine power, it’s a feeling like divine power is concentrated in one place, just like when Klee was implemented.

“…… It’s my first time seeing something like this. Halo can do this.”

“Halo itself is a centripetal body of will embodied through divine power… Since it does not have a specific body, it takes a lot of energy to materialize only with divine power. Altars, statues of gods, etc. During ceremonies… …. I think Seine-sensei understands that all of that makes it easy to implement Halo.”

“Oh yes. Certainly it was. Our church is not faithful to that culture, so it doesn’t come close to me…….”

Yes, unlike science, religion values symbols more than principles.

It is certain that praying over the symbol will help to reinforce the divine power.

What the saintess said just now meant that the halo nested in the holy relic itself that helped in such prayers.

To give an analogy… Yes, it is similar to the poltergeist phenomenon that occurs when a supernatural being possesses something.

“… Then, the fact that Halo dwells in this cabbage means that someone revered this cabbage as something relic?”

“I don’t think so. Perhaps, by worshiping something in common with an unspecified number of people as an idol, it should be seen that the will was embodied in a place separate from them.”

In short, common topics, such as oral legends and ghost stories, spread in many places, and the result of interest was inevitably nested in my cabbage.

As much as we don’t know where religion originated, there’s nothing we can’t understand…

– Panting.

But the question is, why was this implemented in front of me?

I don’t intend to have a pet in the health room, but if it’s a god like Kle or Heide, why not just abandon it?

“I think I’ll have to keep it with me for a while…….”

After solving the problem, another problem pops up right away.

Contemplating what to do with it, I looked down at the cabbage in my hand for a moment.

No, this isn’t cabbage, is it a dog? Puppy?

“What should I call this?”

It’s not a dog, it’s not a cabbage, or it’s a dog cabbage, dog, cabbage…….

“…… A dog?”
