chapter 40
40 – 5. Monbung gives a class (6)
All of my precious rest time ended up being spent taking care of Resor and other bastards who had unknowingly planted flags.
The good news was that, with the exception of the imps, who could be confessed to in one day like Letor if you knew how to attack them on a race-by-race basis, the rest were only shallow flags.
And out of all of them, I spoke to the person who seemed to have the most shallow flag.
“Make a sachet with the juice made by crushing the fruit of the black ash tree and wear it around.”
“…Does that help?”
I understand.
The black ash tree is a tree often seen in this world.
Although its native area was not as wide as Monberry’s to spread throughout the human world, it was at least a tree that could be found here, in the forest created in Monaka.
If I were to think of my past life, what I said now would have been closer to the feeling of crushing forsythia fruits, making a sachet and wearing it.
In my past life, I had seen forsythia flowers that bloomed every spring, but I had no idea what forsythia fruits looked like, what their benefits were, or what the flower meant.
People living in this world may not believe that this situation can be solved with ‘the fruit of a tree commonly found on the side of the road.’
Even if you just tell me to do it, I will do it.
I said I was going to jump out after 3 years, but since they will probably continue to sit in Monaka for the rest of the year, I decided to add a little reason why.
“I told you that the student who seemed overly interested in you was Were Tiger, right?”
“Ah yes.”
In other words, he was a prisoner.
Although there were significant differences between races, in general, beastmen had a sensitive sense of smell.
Also, the fruit of the black ash tree had a very unpleasant smell to the ‘beast people’ who had a sensitive sense of smell, although the majority of the human world could not detect it.
In Monaka, it was an item that was disliked by characters who fell into the ‘beastman’ category just by wearing it.
It wasn’t that bad, but a flag of that size would have been enough to crush it.
“If you wear that, interest will decrease a lot.”
The black ash tree fruit was also useful for defending against attacks by Great Kaira, so while I was helping him, I also ordered him to process it.
They told us to save as much fruit as possible.
The perception is that it is just a tree that bears fruit every spring, and it is not particularly famous for medicinal properties or special effects, so it is not only impossible to obtain it without self-supply, but it was perfect because he said he would use it anyway.
“next…”
It was around this time that customized prescriptions were given to the assholes who had flagged each other for each race.
Ding- dee-ing-
The break time is over.
“Hey, Marquis. I am…?”
I taught others how to appropriately disfavor the ‘race’… and how to destroy flags that were placed too shallowly.
Resor didn’t do that.
“You… just do as I said earlier.”
Pay as little attention as possible.
But don’t ignore it.
“Oh, and… your wife, by any chance…”
“…while evacuating from the war.”
“…is it.”
Is there no married shield?
Although the imps tend to move out quickly, they still don’t go out very quickly, so if you have a ‘Gihon Shield’, there is a way to crush even a flag that is stuck quite deeply.
Without that.
“…Good luck.”
I decided to hope that Resor behaved well and maintained the status quo.
“Huh, Marquis?”
I do not know.
There’s no way right now, so just do whatever you’re told.
Before heading back to hell, leaving Resor’s pleading look behind me, I headed to the library to gather my things.
“Tap,” he said.
Around the time I arrived, I saw everyone glancing at the books I had brought with them, facing the burdensome gaze again.
“Um, uhm… what is that…?”
I saw Baekhyang asking hesitantly but with shining eyes.
I have a lot of questions about what to do and play… Unlike the moth Monmusu, Baekhyang was the exact opposite, an extremely cute guy.
As a result, since her hobbies were reading, spinning, and knitting, she seemed to be interested in ‘unfamiliar’ human books.
“These are books from the library. “They are books from the human world.”
Since it was a somewhat steam-punk world, books were not as precious as they were around this time in my previous life in the human world, which was a monarchy and an empire.
Of course, the ten books I brought with me must be more expensive than the monthly salary of a commoner.
That’s because this is a hardcover book made with precious troll leather and money. If it were just a paper book, even commoners could decorate their homes with one or two books as if they were cultural books with the money they earned from their pastimes. It was an object.
Of course, that wasn’t what mattered now.
“First of all, the leaders of each group should come out and receive books one by one.”
I could see the people who had been selected as temporary leaders of each approaching group looking at me with puzzlement.
I gave them each a copy of the books I had hurriedly brought with me because I had forgotten about recess.
“Looking at you from the previous time, I decided that what you need right now is at least some common sense about handover. So… let’s take the time to read these books and write reviews.”
In the meantime, I was planning to give him a bruise while pretending to monitor him to see if he was doing well.
Some people might think that I’m eating too much raw food.
What should I do?
If you tease them, they will tell you what to say after you become a higher rank than me.
For your information, there are no ‘dukes’ in the Holy Human Empire, so Raysonia had to come to say something to me.
In other words, I was invincible.
however.
Absentmindedly, I saw the group leaders standing still, looking at the books I handed them.
“…Um, dear.”
And Kyra, who was looking around, suddenly called me.
It didn’t feel good at all.
“…Why do you do that?”
“…It seems that none of us can read the human world’s script.”
ah…
“…You don’t know letters?”
“Yes. No… I learned it, but… um… it’s hard to even read the title of this book. “It’s probably the same for everyone.”
A thought crossed my mind, wondering why I didn’t know, but I soon figured out why.
It was because I remembered that Monaka’s original ‘background’ and the current ‘background’ are quite different.
“…Right.”
It was like that.
Originally… the ‘teacher’ in the original ‘Mon Aka’ was rolling around like a dog and suffering hard times a few years after ‘Mon Aka’ was built.
It was the story of the hardships of a madman who crawled into a place called ‘monster den’ because it was full of monsters that everyone else avoided.
Originally, there were a few dozen students who were taught by clueless idiots for a few years, and after going through various affairs, they ended up getting married, being taken to their in-laws’ house, etc. Anyway, all kinds of things happened.
It was a story about a real idiot who came to Monaka, where rumors were starting to circulate that ‘people were being captured’, even before the public sentiment, which was already public, had calmed down right after the end of the Great War, and the main character was struggling to avoid being captured by monsters. .
And the people in front of us, including Kaira, who were born in the SR level, were originally kids who only ‘entered school’ around that time.
“……”
When I looked at the admission certificates, I remembered that there were quite a few names of students that I could not remember at all.
My memories from my past life were so old that they were vague, so I just ignored them…
‘Now that I think about it, Resorna… the other teachers weren’t even mentioned.’
Clearly, ‘teacher’ was not the only teacher in Monaka.
I do meet other teachers.
I don’t remember, but the names of those teachers came up a few times.
But, I remembered that at least it wasn’t the name of the twelve bastards that were there now.
It felt like something was unraveling in my head…
‘…You were dragged away.’
All of them probably planted flags without even realizing it, like common mongooses do.
Considering the flags I had immediately destroyed, there was a very high probability that each of them would have been forcibly captured and left the Human World.
So, at the time of the original work, there was a rumor that ‘Monaka’ was ‘a den of monsters where people are taken away’.
anyway.
That wasn’t what mattered now.
The problem arose because students who were originally supposed to be ‘admitted’ several years later entered school early.
What was important was that the fact that they didn’t even know the human world script yet disrupted my sound plan of wasting time by letting the kids read books.
“…Among the other group members, if there are any who know how to read the human world script, please raise your hand.”
Baekhyang was the only one who raised his hand when I said that, but I saw his face turn bright red when he realized that no one other than him had raised his hand.
And then, hesitatingly, he lowered his hand halfway.
“……”
If it weren’t for making groups, she would be holed up in a corner, reading a book or knitting, looking like a gloomy character.
Thanks to this, I remembered that there is a high probability of encountering Baekhyang in a corner of the school library or a place with few people.
…I didn’t really plan on going to see Baekhyang, so it wasn’t a very important memory.
anyway.
Is it completely annihilated except for Baekhyang?
I couldn’t help it.
Now I can’t come up with a lesson plan that doesn’t exist.
“Whew. Leaders… please return the books and return to your seats.”
After saying that and making sure everyone had returned to their seats, I picked up the book.
