Chapter 329: The rampage of youth (1/2)

One young woman appeared in front of me while I was trying to head to the class.

She doesn’t seem to be a student.

She is looking at us with a serious expression.

Maybe she intends to confess to Shiki?

Or does she plan to reignite my nightmare?

I wouldn’t want either of those.

“If you are going to confess, we refuse. Excuse us.” (Makoto)

I promptly express myself.

I don’t need a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.

“?”

“Looking for Shiki? He is currently busy. Come back some other time.” (Makoto)

Specifically, at a time when I am not around.

“Uhm, I am married.”

“…”

“You are the temporary teacher, Raidou-sensei, and the assistant, Shiki-san, right?”

“…Yeah.” (Makoto)

So there’s this pattern too.

It is very embarrassing that I thought I had cut her off ahead of time.

I want to writhe in shame for a bit.

Damn it, Rotsgard!

How many traumas is this place going to etch in me before it is satisfied?!

“I apologize for my late introduction. I am Daena’s wife, Kuria. I am currently taking a leave of absence, but I am a student in this Academy.”

“I should be the one apologizing for my rudeness. Sorry.” (Makoto)

To top it off, the wife of a student I am looking after?!

Of course I would instantly apologize.

Please don’t think ‘What kind of misunderstanding is this temporary teacher having?’.

It was a paltry mind guard of mine…

“No, I have heard a lot of things about you from my husband, Raidou-sensei. Please don’t mind it.”

……

Heard a lot about me?

Don’t mind it?

This error of mine that’s making me explode in embarrassment?

What does Daena say about me with his family?

There were a whole lot of questions I couldn’t digest and were floating around me.

Like algae filling up the surface of a lake.

My brain also had algae floating around.

“*Cough*. So, what business brings you here at the Academy, wife of Daena-kun that’s supposed to be on a leave of absence? Is it something we can help you with?” (Shiki)

Shiki takes my place while I was collecting myself, and asks for the business of the wife.

Thanks.

“Yes, about that, my husband has been acting weird recently.” (Kuria)

Daena…

I heard that you have become interesting, so I was looking forward to it…

I hope you are not being suddenly suspected of cheating on your wife.

Weren’t you the type that would be frivolous and aloof?

“He has been coming back home late too.” (Kuria)

Oi oi.

“He said that he is reading through books at the library till late.” (Kuria)

That Daena?

From my eyes, aside from the fact that he is married, he is the closest to the image of a modern japanese student.

In other words, he is not that motivated, and isn’t the type who would be studying.

“That he is training together with the students that are taking your class.” (Kuria)

“…”

Honestly, I have no intention of tagging along with a matter of cheating from my students, so I can only say do something yourselves.

“Now that I think about it, it happened after he had left for a short term training camp, so I thought that maybe you two would know something about this.” (Kuria)

Short term training camp.

The matter about being sent to Kannaoi that I didn’t concern myself with at first.

It happened after that, huh.

On that event, Misura and Yuno ended up going out and Rembrandt-san went slightly crazy from it.

Izumo also had a sudden growth from it too.

I even think that he might return with him having already married Iroha-chan.

With that, I would have two married people within my students.

I don’t think Izumo would be doing something like cheating in that frame of time though.

With how flirty they both were, even if he were to return to the Academy, he wouldn’t be playing around with other girls.

“Aah, about that matter.” (Shiki)

Hm?

Shiki?

“Do you know something?!” (Kuria)

“It seems like he had a lot of things to reflect about after returning from that training camp. He wanted to consult about his career path with Raidou-sama. I think it is most likely related to that.” (Shiki)

“Career path? He was saying things like he would just do his best in a place that gives him the most salary though.” (Kuria)

“Yeah, he had been giving that sort of air until now, that’s for sure.” (Shiki)

He also said jokingly that he would live in a way that doesn’t bring any disputes with the Kuzunoha Company.

“And so, he began to return late, study, and train even more than before? Does he plan on remaining in the Academy?” (Kuria)

Hm?

His wife, Kuria-san, doesn’t seem like she was suspecting him of cheating?

…It is not like I have been watching too many morning dramas, but I always end up assuming it goes in that way.

I should be careful about that.

I did hear about him wanting to consult about his career path, but the details are not clear at all, so I don’t know exactly what it is he wants to ask me.

“…”

I am in teacher mode, so I just go ‘umu umu’ and nod randomly a few times as if knowingly.

“Since you are here already, Kuria-san, how about checking the class?” (Shiki)

Shiki proposes.

Well, she is the wife of Daena after all.

There’s no real problem in having her watch the lecture.

She could even tag along in the career path consultation.

They are husband and wife, so obviously talks regarding his career and future involve her as well.

“That’s a good idea. If you wish to, how about being present in his career path consultation too?” (Makoto)

“Is that okay?” (Kuria)

“If it is about his career path, it is something that would impact the two of you… If I remember correctly, you two have a child, right? Are you okay in time?” (Makoto)

“Yes. My parents are currently present after all.” (Kuria)

“Your parents, huh. That’s indeed reliable then.” (Makoto)

Meaning that the parents of his wife have come to Rotsgard?

Daena, I’m surprised you can stay in the Academy and return late at night everyday in a situation like that.

I do understand that it is a stressing situation though.

“A gruesome incident like that happened at the Rotsgard Academy that was thought to be completely safe, so they got worried. It brings peace to my heart, but it might have been suffocating for my husband. The city has already been restored and it is about to launch back into form, so my parents said that once their worries are gone, they will be going back. Just that, it looks like they are pretty fond of their grandchild, so…” (Kuria)

I feel like the story is going to get really long.

I glance at Shiki and we both nod.

If we press Kuria-san and head to the class, there should be no worries in lost time.

If the flames of war suddenly fall into the school of your daughter that’s supposed to be completely safe, of course your parents would want to come check out for themselves whether you are okay or not.

And if there’s a grandchild in the equation and they look after it together…I now feel like it can’t be helped that they would end up staying for long.

Well, if that’s the case, if the parents of Kuria-san don’t think her husband is coming back home late because he is cheating, then I guess they would instead actually welcome him coming back late.

Now that I think about it, what kind of student is this girl?

From what I can see, she is a mage?

She doesn’t look like the close combat type… Yeah, I can’t really picture her in combat.

Is she a researcher?

It doesn’t feel like she could become a student in my class.

Now then, let’s check the class, and then have this so-called career path consultation of Daena.
