Episode 48 – Elementary school fight

Werner, aware that the two would fight, had Glaceon and Airi sit far away from each other. That might prevent them from exchanging fists, but they didn’t know if they could exchange sharp words.

Airi was the first to speak.

“Hey.”

However, Glaceon turned her gaze to the wall, sending a look that she did not want to be involved with. It was an act that contained a lot of disrespectful intentions, rather than talking to someone like you.

Airi wanted to apologize. Before returning, he knew what kind of feelings Glaceon had towards Werner. I even knew that after all the fights, I stayed in front of Werner’s grave, didn’t eat or drink anything, and died of weakness.

I didn’t want to lose my master, but I knew that Glaceon loved Werner that much… so I felt guilty for ruining the long-awaited engagement ceremony. And even though Airi didn’t have a good relationship with Glaceon, she still had a heart to consider her as a friend who went through hardships together.

“…Hey, can’t you hear? There’s the red rabbit’s eyes.”

Red Rabbit Eyes was a nickname given to Glaceon by her colleagues because she looked like a rabbit with white hair and red eyes. When I was mixing it up, it was also the code name Glaceon used, so I thought it would be liked, so I used that title.

“…..”

“The young lady whose fiancé ran away when she was 9 years old.”

Glaceon tried to ignore all of Airi’s words, but was furious when she said that she was impersonating her fiancee. Because she was Werner’s fiancée, both officially and ‘physically’. However, it seemed that Airi, who regarded Werner as a disciple who was eating away at such a life, was very annoyed by her scorning herself.

“The lowly milk boy is good at making fun of his mouth.”

“What milk boy?”

“Silk-nim is a warrior with an outstanding personality, and Mediah-nim is a wise and kind person… I wonder why such an ignorant cow came out.”

“Don’t curse at my mom and dad. I’ll kill them.”

“It’s you who I cursed at. You’re so stupid that you can’t understand even that much. It seems that the only thing you inherited from Mediah-sama is a bloated chest? Did you leave your wisdom and personality in Mediah-sama?”

Glaceon harshly criticized Airi. If you explain what Glaceon said, ‘Your parents are such great people, why are you like that? Did you leave the good parts in your mother’s womb and come into the world?’ It meant. Of course, Airi also understood the meaning of the criticism, and was angry and tried to give back to Glaceon as much as she had suffered.

“Hey, can I tell you a funny story?”

“……”

Glaceon, who poured out a lot of words, turned her head again and was staring at the wall. It was a complete disregard for people, but Airi smiled and started to tell the ‘interesting story’.

“Because there is a famous dog in the city where Master and I lived? It was a very white and pretty dog.”

“…so what?”

“But the dog doesn’t have an owner, but it keeps standing in one place and looking in the same direction. When I asked the lady at the nearby store, she said the dog was abandoned by her owner 8 years ago.”

“The owner is cruel. To abandon such a loyal dog.”

“But the white dog kept wagging its tail and waiting for eight years for its owner to return. Everyone around me thought it was an abandoned dog, but I think it thought its owner had left for a while.”

Glaceon felt uncomfortable for a moment. Was it because I felt familiar somehow? Glaceon stopped looking at the wall and started staring directly at Airi’s face.

“…Continue.”

“That’s how the dog foolishly waited in the same place for eight years for his owner to return. Foolishly, he didn’t even dream that I was abandoned.”

“……”

Glaceon’s doubts slowly began to change to certainty.

“But one day the owner showed up, and next to him was holding a cute brown puppy that was younger than the white dog.”

“But what did the white dog do when he saw it?”

“He still believes that he is the owner’s dog and rushes at it. Even in his dreams, he abandons the fact that he has been abandoned and does not know what it means to be abandoned and has not been found for 8 years.

Airi was smiling refreshingly as she spit out the story. It was one of Airi’s creeds to pay back everything she suffered, so she was so excited that she wanted to dance at least.

“That… that’s a very sad story. Still, there’s a possibility that the owner might not be able to find the white dog for some reason… or maybe he accepted the white dog again?”

“No, it was the white dog’s mistake alone. Stupid white bitch.”

Those swear words were clearly directed at Glaceon. Glaceon jumped up and tried to draw her sword.

“This damn milk boy…”

“Oh my, why are you doing this when I told you about a dog, a city specialty that I lived with my ‘teacher’ for 15 years? Could it be that you have immigrated yourself to that story…?”

Airi covered her mouth with her finger and smiled. Actually, it wasn’t that funny, but he laughed to provoke Glaceon.

“Ah… Come to think of it, our positions are similar. That dog or you…”

“Werner-sama, you don’t even know who caused you… to be hurt so well, but you’re making fun of that mouth…”

“Yes, of course it’s your fault. Trying to force a man into engagement… How is it different from perverted nobles in romance novels who try to take powerless women by force? Ah, in novels, they say that most nobles like that get their hair cut off?”

No one told Airi before the return why Werner lost the great magic. It was the last consideration for the girl who loved her teacher, and respect for Werner, who wanted to keep her love.

In spite of this, Airi sacrificed the godfather’s mana and many things to turn back time in order to reunite with Master. Despite that, Airi was strong enough now, but if it was like before, she would have been able to subdue her even if the entire family, including Glaceon, Melissa, and Melchior, attacked her.

Airi thought as she swallowed saliva that tasted like blood.

‘Even though it’s possible to fool the adventurer’s guild’s crappy measurement tools… Fighting with them is annoying. By the way, the side effects are still severe… If it was like before, I would have broken my arm right away.’

God appeared in front of Airi and asked if she really wanted to turn back time. Even if you turn back time, there are people who have only regrets. However, Airi rather intimidated God and told her to turn back time. God sighed and allowed Airi to turn back time.

The burden of turning back time was still there, and it still gave Airi a throbbing pain every time she fell asleep. But even so, when I remembered Master’s face, voice, and scent, I could tolerate that much.

‘I have to act the usual clumsy disciple so that Master doesn’t suspect… I was thinking about it because I couldn’t show guilt or regret by mistake…’

Airi regretted that on the day Werner was kidnapped, she should have stopped it at all costs. However, Glaceon approached Airi and whispered,

[It looks like you’re deliberately deceiving your skills in front of Werner… If you don’t want me to tell you that, then you can quietly go back, right?]

At the time, Airi had no choice but to give in to Glaceon’s threats because her hair was graying, but from Camellia’s words, it seems that Werner knew Airi’s skills were outstanding. However, seeing that they wouldn’t doubt Airi, there was no need to worry about that.

Airi, grinding her teeth, ran all the way to the north and has reached this point.

Glaceon was filled with anger for a moment, but sighed and sat back down.

As for Airi, she had planned to hit Glaceon a few times on purpose and tell her that Werner had been hit by Glaceon when she returned, but the fact that Glaceon noticed the plan and took a step back was regretful.

“It’s my mistake trying to talk to a lowly milk boy.”

“You’ll be fine.”

Thinking that her unlucky personality was still the same, Airi turned her head toward the door. Airi quickly waited for Werner to open that door and return.

After that, the door opened and two women who went out to fight and two men who went to stop it came in.

However, Airi’s expectations collapsed miserably. The one who appeared in front of Airi and Glaceon was Werner, who had passed out with blood dripping from the side of his mouth and had been stopped by Melchior.
