"I’m dropping out."
"Absolutely not!"
Celia Soren vigorously crossed her arms, making an X.
I retorted bluntly.
"...It’s my life, you know."
"That’s... well, you see, I’m your homeroom Teacher. I can’t just let you quit the Academy without a plan, not as an educator."
What a blatant liar.
Do you think I don’t know you’re plotting with the heroines to kill me?
I know you pretended not to notice when Miyabi nearly smashed my desk with those thick thighs of hers.
you practically neglected the violence within the Academy at this point.
"It’s fine."
"No! It’s not fine. Listen to your Teacher. You know it’s not easy to get into the Academy."
"...I will."
"I said no!"
Celia isn’t an Awakened.
She’s just a regular English Teacher, so she didn’t use a separate space like the Awakened Teachers did.
Which means the sound of us raising our voices is audible to the other non-Awakened Teachers beyond the partition.
Someone said.
"Aish, Celia, it seems like he’s made up his mind, just let him go... What have you been doing for an hour already..."
...Telling him to drop out is not something a Teacher should say. That was just too much.
But, befitting a mindless work written by a mindless author, even the Teachers stuck in their mannerisms lack a sense of responsibility.
I couldn’t have asked for a better ally.
"Just a moment. Don’t go, wait here?"
She went outside.
Celia returned and said with a sigh.
"So, what’s your plan?"
"I don’t really have a plan. I’ll work part-time and marry my girlfriend."
"G-Girlfriend?! Who?!"
Celia’s eyebrows twitched.
"You have a girlfriend?"
"It’s a matter of privacy, so I’m afraid I can’t say. Please refrain from making such dismissive remarks."
"Really, I’m your Teacher, you know!"
"Haa..."
Seeing me sigh while touching my forehead, Celia shouted as if she had been insulted.
"You’re sighing in front of your Teacher!?"
"...I’ll be going now. Bye... Teacher."
I was trying to play along to some extent, but it seems she intends to keep me here by any means necessary, even if it means yelling.
I can’t understand it at all.
You hate me so much, so I’m quietly stepping aside, but why are you stopping me?
Either way, unexcused absences lead to automatic expulsion.
I wanted to end things on a good note if possible, but since you’re not helping, I guess this is the only way.
I sent a message as I left the faculty office.
[Gilmon Salazar: Talk’s over.]
[Gilmon Salazar: I’m going home first. I’ll call you later.]
I returned to the classroom and packed my bag.
Eurelia and Miyabi have strange expressions.
"Where are you going?"
Miyabi asked.
The top-tier female student in the class, who would never associate with someone like me if she didn’t have the memories of the previous playthrough.
The very act of her naturally talking to someone like me is a setting error that wouldn’t have happened in the previous playthrough.
I would have been excited before, but not now.
It was fun, Miyabi, your thighs I mean.
Aware of my gaze, she closed and covered her legs.
"Take care. Both of you. I’m sorry, and thank you."
Thanks to you, I’m living a new life.
I muttered weakly and came outside.
The things I did to the heroines in the previous playthrough were definitely wrong, so I apologized, and I’m thankful that you pressured me like this and made me reflect.
I don’t need to add these words...
But I bought ramen on the way.
It seems too much to have ramen when my girlfriend is coming, so I bought beef from the supermarket meat section for once.
[Phonia Hazelnut: Messiah. Messiah.]
[Phonia Hazelnut: Could you possibly meet my sister? She says she wants to see you right now.]
[Gilmon Salazar: ??]
I suddenly received a message from the girl who should be in the middle of a class.
I was thinking of casually going to pick her up after the lecture.
[Gilmon Salazar: No, even if you suddenly say that...]
[Phonia Hazelnut: She said she’d meet you directly because she asked if it was okay to live together since I’m dating you.]
Oh shit.
Surely she didn’t say it exactly like that, right?
If I put myself in her shoes, I’d only worry that my younger sister was dragged into some cult.
I wonder what kind of person her sister is?
Seeing that she casually brushed aside Phonia’s unique setting, is her sister also a formidable 4D personality?
Or is she a realistic person instead?
Even if I try to think positively, she doesn’t seem like a good person.
If she were a decent person, she wouldn’t have left her sister wearing clothes that don’t suit her.
There’s also a possibility that she’s a selfish woman.
In any case, I have to meet her since she’s Phonia’s only guardian.
[Gilmon Salazar: Is she coming to the house?]
[Phonia Hazelnut: Yes!]
[Phonia Hazelnut: Just a moment...]
A moment later.
Ding!
[Sophie Hazelnut: Hello?]
I received a message directly from her
