Became a Teacher at Monster Academy

53 – 7. Monbungi, the Empress, and Her Sister (2)

When I was feeling warm for the first time in a long time, Sebastian bowed his head and said.

“then. “I’ll be inside preparing tea.”

Saying that, I saw Sebastian entering the mansion first.

Now I was finally able to realize the identity of Sebastian, whose name I thought I had heard before somewhere.

‘It was Seris…’

Seris was one of the NPC characters in Monaka.

It’s also a character that has a lot to do with ‘teacher’.

That’s because the place where you can see Seris is because she is a character that comes out of the charging system in place in Monaka.

“……”

‘I am everywhere and nowhere. hehehe. Please take a look at me. Then… I can give you a small gift…’ This is also a character who leaves a strange line.

anyway.

Ceris is clearly a full-fledged ‘female’ character, and there was one reason why I thought Sebastian, a handsome middle-aged man, was Ceris.

In Monaka, there were helper characters who occasionally helped the ‘teacher’.

When you successfully complete various events, characters appear to congratulate you on solving a problem and hand you materials that are normally difficult to obtain.

of course.

Items that were generally difficult to obtain were, of course, classified as ‘charged’ items within Monaka.

And unless you get it from those helper characters, the only place you can get this charging item is from Seris, who is the first to welcome players when they enter the charging box.

In the end, among monbungis, there are those who subtly sell charging items to the ‘teacher’ and show them a taste before inducing them to pay.

I half-confirmed that the helper characters were ‘Seris’.

That wasn’t the only question asked of Seris.

There was also suspicion that Seris was a member of the imperial family.

That’s because, if you look at the descriptions of the paid items sold by Seris, they are vaguely claiming to be related to the empire, such as ‘essence collected by the great wizards of the empire’ or ‘masterpieces created by so-and-so of the empire’.

…If you look at this point, you might be wondering why Seris and the helper characters are the same person.

It was simple.

This was because all of the helper characters encountered by the ‘teacher’ had ‘Dolrim’ with ‘se’ in front of their names.

From the beginning, Seris’ line says that she is everywhere and nowhere.

The line is meaningful, but the only place you can actually see Seris is when you turn on the billing system.

At Monaka, which is famous for putting all sorts of things in the description window of miscellaneous items.

In a way, it was natural that the ‘Master of Disguise, Ceris’ hypothesis emerged as a major hypothesis.

“…If you think about it, Sebastian was also your first helper.”

Now I remember a little bit.

The essence of the sense of déjà vu is that it is a name that seems as if you have seen it or heard it before.

That was because it was a name I had seen before.

Every time the ‘teacher’ first came to Monaka, Sebastian was the ‘first’ helper character who put a small amount of money into his sleeve.

I only saw the beginning of the episode where Sebastian appeared, but later on I couldn’t remember it because it was an opening that I skipped every time.

anyway.

It has not yet been confirmed whether that Sebastian is really ‘Seris’.

This was because there was also a theory that ‘Ceris’ was not an individual but an organization.

Rather, this was more believable than the fact that all the ‘helper characters’ were actually Seris in disguise.

The downside to this theory is that the Empire becomes a vicious black corporation that sucks up the meager salary of a ‘teacher’… no, it becomes a country.

…anyway.

At least the fact that Sebastian came with Raysonia this time clearly proved that the ‘helper’ characters were members of the imperial family.

No, this may only apply to Sebastian, not the ‘helper’ characters.

It’s not clear that all the helper characters are ‘Seris’.

anyway.

Regardless of whether it is an organization or not, it is true that Raysonia said that Sebastian was a ‘trustworthy person’.

At least, it was true that Sebastian, who helped guide me when I arrived at school, was someone Raysonia had sent.

It became known that the person who gave a small amount of money to the ‘teacher’ every time was also Raysonia.

hmm.

I felt strange as information that I didn’t know during the game and that wasn’t even in the setting book came into my head.

“…Why are you doing this, Brother? “Do you have any business with Sebastian?”

I shook my head and said to Raysonia, who tilted her head and asked.

“No, no. Cardia, Raysonia. “Let’s go inside.”

As I said that, I was about to bring Cardia and Raysonia into the mansion.

Cardia said, “Hmph.”

“After all, since you are my brother, I must have lived roughly. Raysonia, wait a little bit. “I’ll go in first and do some cleaning.”

And at Cardia’s words, Raysonia laughed and said, “hehehehe.”

“No, Cardia. I can do this too. “I will help you.”

no.

what.

It’s true that I was living roughly, but that doesn’t mean the mansion is a mess or anything.

I also did some cleaning…

But before I could say anything, my two younger sisters rolled up their sleeves and stormed into the mansion.

“…I guess I should bring out some pudding. “I also make tteokbokki.”

Anyway, it seemed like I couldn’t have another boring holiday today.

Of course, Cardia and Raysonia, who stormed in with great force, did not clean up the mansion.

This was because Sebastian, who entered earlier, had all finished.

Since there wasn’t much to clean up anyway, it was obvious that it was finished quickly.

It’s not like I’m doing anything here.

Usually, when I came to the mansion, my routine was to wash, sleep, and cook a meal.

Thanks to this, Cardia and Raysonia seemed to be full of steam.

From the moment I started drinking the pudding I brought out and the tea Sebastian prepared, things started to get better.

I was busy scooping up the pudding with a spoon.

And I…

Cheeek…!

I worked hard to prepare tteokbokki.

“…Is that really tteokbokki? “I’ve heard the story, but…”

And, Sebastian, who was watching from behind me, looked at the tteokbokki I was making with an excited expression and said something.

When I was young, I made and sold snacks and earned pocket money with the premiums, but tteokbokki was a food that was only shared with my family.

From the fact that Sebastian knew that, it was clear that Raysonia trusted Sebastian.

hmm.

Suddenly.

Sebastian = I wanted to check whether the Seris theory was true or not.

There was a way to check… it was okay.

If coercive means were used, it could be confirmed almost unconditionally.

however…

So what happens to my reputation?

If I suddenly ask Sebastian to take off his shirt, regardless of whether Sebastian is really Seris or just a really middle-aged Sebastian, my reputation will be ruined… In any case, I will be leaving a river that cannot be undone.

It was clear that the former was a pervert who suddenly took off a woman’s clothes, and the latter was a sodomite and would be ruined in an instant.

If so, what are the other methods?

…There were many different methods.

After ruling them all out because there was a defect somewhere, this was the confirmation method I ultimately chose.

“Sebastian.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

“I’m sorry, but could you please check the seasoning of this tteokbokki?”

“…Me?”

“You seemed very interested. Am I wrong?”

Sebastian, who was staring at me at my words, quickly nodded.

“…There was definitely interest. The Empress often talks about it, and… it looks very appetizing. The smell…”

Since this tteokbokki is a domestic game anyway, it was the essence of the recipe that I created by obtaining various items such as ‘rice powder’ and ‘pepper’ that were already available.

Unlike the tteokbokki I ate in my previous life, I recreated it by making ingredients that only existed in this world.

for example….

Unlike the previous life, the oligosaccharides that are not present here can be seen as a modified recipe that feels like sprinkling a lot of sugar on monberry juice.

anyway.

There was one characteristic of this tteokbokki.

“…Now, try one.”

Looking at the red rice cake I handed him, Sebastian nodded and took a bite.

and.

I opened my eyes wide.

“…It’s spicy.”

“It’s spicy.”

Tteokbokki is spicy.

It was natural that so much red pepper powder was used.

For reference, in this world, red pepper powder was only used to make things like ‘tear gas’ and not as a food ingredient.

According to the ‘common sense’ of this world, I, who sprinkled red pepper powder on my food, was a chef who created strange food.

Moreover, in this world where there was no spicy, salty, or strong-flavored food even though it was oily, this tteokbokki was a bomb with a vicious taste that coexisted sweet, salty, and spicy flavors.

and…

“…How does it taste?”

“…great. Indeed, there was a reason why the Empress praised him so much.”

“okay? Right.”

“Why are you doing this, Marquis?”

“No, it’s nothing. Now, it looks like it’s done, so take it.”

When I put the tteokbokki in a bowl and handed it to Sebastian, he gave me a suspicious look, but then nodded and looked at the back of Sebastian’s head as he went to deliver the tteokbokki to Cardia and Raysonia.

“That’s right.”

At least.

It became clear that Sebastian was a ‘female’.

There was one reason.

“…No matter how much I eat, it doesn’t taste good.”

I recreated the tteokbokki I ate in my past life.

I don’t know what the problem is, but this tteokbokki has become a food that only ‘women’ love.

As a man, I was told that I had become nothing more than a lump of rice cake with a strange spicy, salty, and sweet taste.

I don’t know what kind of combination created what kind of synergy that led to the creation of a food that considers ‘gender’.

Anyway, thanks to you, my father and I didn’t really like this tteokbokki.

My mother and younger sisters were thrilled.

I made this because I missed the food from my past life, but the food that I was so excited about that I couldn’t really taste was Tteokbokki.

anyway.

It was said that Sebastian, who said that tteokbokki that only ‘women’ found delicious, was ‘delicious’, at least it was confirmed that he was a ‘woman’ dressed up as a middle-aged handsome man.

Whether Sebastian was really Cerise or not was a separate matter.

“…Thank goodness.”

I mumbled that without even realizing it, and then I was shocked.

Even I couldn’t understand what was so fortunate.
