Became a Teacher at Monster Academy

34 – Side Story) Empress, Morning of Raysonia

Everything was on fire.

A gate suddenly opened in the middle of the village.

The monsters that came from beyond the gate attacked and the daily life of the small village collapsed in an instant.

“Haa, haa, haa.”

I ran desperately.

I shouted desperately.

“Please help me…! Help me…!”

No matter how much I shouted, I didn’t think anyone would help me.

No matter how small a rural village was on the border, news came infrequently.

Humanity was being destroyed.

Monsters coming through countless gates that suddenly opened… beings that cannot be compared to such monsters.

Due to the alien attacks coming from four dimensions, it was suffering defeat after defeat, continuously losing land and people, and being destroyed.

therefore…

Even a young girl who knew nothing could tell that what happened on this frontier only disappeared quietly without anyone noticing.

But still, I shouted.

“Please save me…”

The fact that he could run at his best for several minutes with a young body that had not yet grown properly was an incredible feat in itself.

Girl, even if you think about it, you can consider it such a miracle.

But the miracle stopped there.

A rustling sound was heard from behind the girl, who was lying down with her legs loose.

“Ahh…”

And, what appeared after that was not the person who would save everyone from all this that the girl had hoped for.

“Gurururuk? “Gururuk.”

A large toad that walks on two legs.

Because a monster that only looked like that came out holding out a strangely twisted spear.

Invaders who came from beyond the gate.

The monsters that burned down the village where the girl lived and killed the adults… her family and her friends appeared one by one.

“Gurururuk… Gurururuk.”

Soon, as they looked at the girl lying face down, they made a sound as if they were laughing… and then slowly approached the girl.

“Save me…”

Words don’t make sense.

Even though she already knew that fact, the girl prayed like that.

But… there was no way the monster would listen to such a girl.

“Gurururuk.”

The monster, which was twisting its mouth in a mocking manner and making strange cries, was about to throw the spear it was holding at the girl.

With the sound of the wind cracking.

The head of the monster that was spearing the girl flew into the sky.

Purple blood poured down in a patter.

“to…?”

And then, the clanking noise was heard again.

The sound made the girl nervous again… this time a black monster appeared.

A piece of metal, as black as pitch black, approached the girl with a thud, thud sound.

“Ah, ah…”

I could tell at the same time.

What blew off the head of the monster a moment ago was that black piece of metal in front of me.

That’s right, I couldn’t not know.

The black iron piece held the blue-flaming sword in its hand.

When that piece of metal, shaped like a golem created by bad wizards from a fairy tale, approaches with a thud.

When the space between the girl’s legs was becoming lukewarm at the sight of that terrible sight.

With a ‘push’ sound, a boy with a young face was seen inside the piece of metal.

The fear deepened as it looked as if a large metal monster had eaten only the boy’s head.

He could see the boy’s gaze heading towards him… more precisely, down below him.

I flinched, and without realizing it… I shrunk my body.

It was because I felt embarrassed later.

and…

“I’m sorry. You seem surprised by me. “Are you okay?”

The boy, who could only be a few years older than himself, with a face that looked like nothing more than a child, opened his mouth and spoke as if to prove that it was not just his head that was left.

Then, bending his knees and making eye contact, he spoke.

“I’m here to save you, so don’t worry.”

When he said that, his hand… a hand wrapped in metal came up above his head.

It’s cold and heavy.

But, for some reason… I didn’t hate the feel of that cold, heavy piece of metal.

It was because I realized it.

That a miracle happened.

With a thud, thud, the metal and strange things the boy was wearing appeared one by one.

“Those who willingly sacrificed their hearts for the mission.”

Boom! Those stamping their feet stopped as if waiting for the boy to speak.

Swoosh, swoosh.

And the boy said, brushing away the hair of the girl who was looking up at him.

“Perform your mission.”

Grumbling.

They drew their swords.

A flaming sword with sparkling blue fire.

“Our people persecuted by the invaders. “Save humanity.”

Looking at that boy’s blue eyes.

The girl barely managed to hold on and collapsed.

When the girl woke up again, everything was over.

“…Are you awake?”

And, instead of being a piece of metal, he had returned to the form of an ordinary boy and was lying down with his legs cut.

“Ah, uh, ah.”

I suddenly felt embarrassed and tried to get up, but I couldn’t.

“Don’t overdo it. “Your body won’t be able to speak.”

Just as I was wondering what those words were…

There was a throbbing, tearing pain in the muscles of my entire body.

“Ugh…!”

“…First, I gave it a diluted potion, but it was too diluted so it wouldn’t be very effective. So, let’s get some rest.”

As she said that, the girl felt a deep sense of relief as her hand stroked Ye’s head again.

like…

Just like when my dad did that.

and…

“ah…! Yes, people…! “The village people… the family…!”

“……”

I had a hunch when I saw the blue eyes quietly looking down at me.

“Ah, ah, ah… ah…”

“…I’m sorry. “I wish I had come a little earlier.”

It was as he said.

If only you had come a little earlier.

If that had been the case, my family, friends, and everyone in the village would have been able to survive.

If only I had saved you a little earlier.

When I tried to say that.

behindhand.

The boy’s appearance came into view.

“……”

I noticed that there were a lot of terrible scars all over my body.

I saw a body full of countless wounds, including old scars and what appeared to be recent scars.

The scars all over his body, as if he had been repeatedly cut, torn, and reattached, seemed to show how much danger he had been through.

That was true for a boy who looked no older than himself… only a few years older.

Furthermore…

“Oh, you mean this? “It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”

There was something strange, glowing blue, attached to the boy’s chest.

“It’s still an early model, so the shape is a little strange… I’m trying to improve it, but… it’s not working well. Moreover, since it’s shaped like that, I want to cover it up, but there’s no point in wearing anything over it.”

No, there was an absurdity in saying that it was attached to the chest.

More precisely…

It was almost as if my chest had been torn open and stuck there.

It looks like it was forced in, and the fact that the skin around it has turned blue is probably proof of that.

And then, just a little… I took a breath at what I could see beyond the gap.

Excited, Excited.

I saw a heart.

Only then did I realize that the shape that seemed close to being stuck was not just that.

“Oh, it hurts… doesn’t it, yo…?”

That’s why I asked that question without realizing it.

The boy who blinked answered that question.

“It hurts.”

To a terrible degree.

The boy who said that said with a wry smile.

“…But will it be compared to your pain of losing your family?”

I could tell that he meant it.

Those blue eyes were full of feelings of sadness, consideration, and sympathy.

and.

“I’m sorry.”

Guilt was also visible.

“If only I… had prepared earlier…”

I didn’t know why he felt so guilty.

I couldn’t figure out why I, too, felt the boy’s emotions.

But, because I knew.

Without realizing it, I grabbed the boy’s hand.

“…Are you giving me comfort? This is it. “Thank you.”

The boy who said that with a bitter smile soon opened his mouth.

“…I’m sorry, but my subordinates are also quite injured. “I think I should go there now.”

“ah…”

“Anyway, kid. “I haven’t asked you yet what your name is.”

Perhaps that boy is a nobleman.

He was a young-looking boy, no more than a few years older than me, but when I looked at Tuna’s speaking… and his noble appearance, it was clear that he was a nobleman.

…The girl, who had often heard stories of being arrested for lese majeste after doing something wrong to a nobleman, now had a different sense of fear and answered cautiously.

“It’s called Raysonia…”

“……Oh yeah.”

I don’t know why, but the boy who paused for a moment soon smiled warmly.

“Right. Raysonia. “I have one suggestion.”

“Suggestion, yo…?”

“I don’t mean to say this to you, who has just lost your hometown… but if you have nowhere to go, wouldn’t you follow me?”

Follow me…?

“Oh, don’t worry. I plan to return to the territory soon. I have no intention of wandering the battlefield with you. …Um, yeah. “I happen to have a little sister around your age, so I’d like to at least be her friend.”

…You have a younger sister.

Without realizing it, I thought of the boy’s younger sister…a girl who was his age.

…Is it silver hair because it resembles a boy?

And, do they have such blue eyes?

…It must be pretty, right?

I heard that all nobles are like that.

Nobles with noble ‘blue blood’ are said to be incomparably stronger and more beautiful than commoners.

Just like people in fairy tales.

“…If you don’t like it, you can refuse.”

Carefully, I shook my head unconsciously at the boy’s words.

And said:

“I’m going.”

At those words, the boy laughed.

“is it. Thank you. Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”

A boy with blue eyes and silver hair that seemed to glow softly spoke.

“My name is Ern Bachard. From now on, please feel free to call me Ern-brother.”

“…Ern, brother…?”

“Yeah, that’s good to hear. Raysonia.”

That is.

It was a moment in which the image of Ern Bachard, the smiling boy who said those words, was forever engraved in the girl’s heart.

I woke up with a dazed, half-asleep look on my face.

“……”

I had a nostalgic dream.

A dream from a long time ago.

Sometimes… I miss those dreams.

There was one reason why I missed those days.

Back then, he was always by my side.

“Ern, brother…”

Raysonia, who mumbled a title she could no longer call even in private, stood up.

Gradually, I felt my sleepy head waking up.

“……”

Then, I stretched out my hand and touched the small picture on the table that was within reach.

It was a picture of a young girl.

It was a clumsy drawing, as if it had not been drawn by someone with much talent.

But, more than the countless paintings dedicated to him.

It was a painting more precious than any other painting anyone had ever painted.

Of course, this picture was given to him by him.

‘Congratulations on your tenth birthday. Raysonia. Now, take it, it’s my gift.’

A picture that Brother Ern drew of himself.

Although the painting was already several years old, the reason it only showed signs of wear was because the preservation magic cast on it was one that was only cast on national treasure-level items.

This was because it was made so that it would no longer rot or deteriorate for hundreds of years to come.

Raysonia, who had been stroking it carefully, this time reached out to what was lying next to the painting.

And then he hugged me tightly and said.

“Did you sleep well today too? “Brother.”

Just like the picture, Ern’s brother made it for him when he was young… a plush toy modeled after himself.

He said hello to the gift he had given him when he was suffering from nightmares from his childhood.

Then, the doll opened its eyes and opened its mouth.

“Yes, I slept well. It’s Raysonia. “Did you sleep well today?”

And he said so in Brother Ern’s voice.

Of course, it wasn’t the real Brother Ern’s voice.

…It was just a fake, made up of his voice.

A fake that is simply enchanted to react to your words and give an appropriate answer.

Like the painting, this also cost a lot of money, including preservation magic and voice imitation magic, but it was a good thing.

Because I wanted to hear his voice at least like this.

“…I slept well too, Brother.”

After saying that, she touched the head of her brother’s doll and said.

“…I miss you, brother.”

“Me too, Raysonia.”

“hehehe, really? happy…”

Raysonia, who had been enjoying listening to her brother’s voice for a while, carefully put down the doll.

In my heart, I wanted to hear a real voice, not a fake one.

I wanted to talk to my brother all day like before.

But I couldn’t.

It was because she was the empress of the empire.

“…Empress, I want to hit you.”

But he wasn’t stupid enough to not know that it couldn’t be done.

It was even more difficult to meet him at a time like this.

Although he was an irreplaceable being.

There were many people who believed that they could replace their older brother.

Those who don’t know anything about how he… was able to save humanity.

Those who couldn’t even reach his feet were like that.

“……”

I wanted to give the order right now.

An order to cut off the heads of those who say that even without him, humanity would have won in the end.

An order to gouge out the eyes of those who look at him with disgust, not even his brother.

But, I couldn’t do that.

It was a world that had finally become peaceful after a long war.

…Even if it were right, Raysonia knew that many people would be hurt and hurt by her orders.

There was no way they would just give up their necks.

War will break out again.

This time, it is not a war against beings from other outer dimensions, but a war between humanity and humanity.

As long as we remain confident, the empire will ultimately win, but a lot of blood will be shed.

So I decided to change my plan.

…I wanted to have my brother by my side right away, but I had some plans to go back.

First of all, my brother’s title was raised.

He granted Elysia, one of the most important strategic points in the empire.

There was a backlash, but there was a way to suppress him.

“Well, I got lucky. “Brother.”

The ‘Learning Center for Interdimensional Exchange’ proposed by those who wanted to end the war with the dimensions and live in peace was the perfect justification.

Those whose blood is only blue.

Those who were reluctant to shed their own blood and did not shed their own blood were afraid of those from outer space.

It will happen.

In the past and now, they were people who only knew how to save themselves.

So they moved as expected.

They continued to avoid the repeated invitations to become ‘teachers’ and ‘responsible people’, and eventually ‘recommended’ their brother themselves.

They had always dared to ignore their brother, saying that he was only a count from a small country, but now they spoke of his achievements and recommended him, saying that he was fit to be the person in charge of a place for ‘interdimensional exchange’.

But that made it even better.

Although it was only a recommendation, there was no compulsion, but they were a little reluctant due to the burden of having rejected their recommendation several times, so they did not say anything about giving my brother the title of marquis and giving him Elysia.

There were many people who were displeased with the fact that a man who was only a ‘count of a small country’ had become the ‘marquis’ of a unique empire.

As they said, a person who was only an ‘count of a small country’ could be forcibly handed over to an academy where five dimensions interact, on the grounds that he was not fit to be the ‘person in charge’ representing the ‘human world’.

With this, my brother’s territory became Elysia, right next to the capital… so I could visit it anytime in the future.

Originally, my brother’s territory, Bahart, was a bit far from my capital.

However, it was still not enough.

At least… I can visit you at any time.

“…I’ll do my best, brother.”

While muttering that, I was about to hug my brother’s doll again.

“…By the way, there was a report.”

Belatedly, Raysonia recalled the report that Ceris had delivered late last night and looked for the courtesy report.

“…I’m sorry to my brother. “Because I couldn’t tell you anything.”

I was afraid that if I contacted my brother hastily, my plan might go awry, so I couldn’t say anything until the very end.

Therefore, it must have been a bit of a surprise to my brother, who thought ‘monsters’ were terrible.

In fact, my brother’s cute face looked up at me with a bewildered expression when he heard that I was being appointed as a teacher, showing how embarrassed he was.

“…Cook, cluck.”

I was able to see a precious expression that can only be seen very occasionally, so maybe it was luck that I couldn’t tell you.

“3 years… please wait 3 years.”

Until then, all obstacles will be dealt with.

And… until then, my current, still small body would grow into a body that suited my brother’s tastes.

…maybe.

That’s probably because I’m drinking a lot of milk.

…Raysonia sighed softly as she remembered her body, which had not grown at all since she was around 14, and opened the report and unsealed it.

and.

-Kaira Blade wooed Marquis Ern Bachart by publicly showing off her underwear.

“……”

Raysonia’s face stiffened after seeing the incomprehensible text.
