Everyone Said They Were My Lover in a Dream

Teacher, Not a Restroom (2)

Thud.

“Haa… haa…”

Diabel rushed into the Student Council President’s office and gasped for breath.

As someone who had already surpassed the limits of the mortal body, she was not usually affected by fatigue or shortness of breath. But this time, she couldn’t stay calm.

Why?

Why did she run away?

Since the academy was a place where students in their prime gathered, it was easy to witness displays of affection between lovers.

Just a while ago, there was an incident where a couple from the Student Council was caught engaging in affectionate behavior and were chased away.

“But why?”

Yet, Diablo couldn’t bear to witness that sight and fled.

She had turned her back without showing it in front of the Hero Party to subjugate her or in front of the united forces of the previous continent that had declared war on the Demon King.

“Why does my heart ache like this?”

The pain she had felt in her heart when she bid farewell to her master.

Diablo felt a similar pain.

“Why?”

It was similar to when her master had a nightmare of marrying another woman and having a child… Huh?

Diablo, who had been standing still in a daze, shook her head vigorously.

No.

That can’t be right.

Vers Grangiel, her secretary.

There’s no way he could be her master.

Her master is definitely dead.

She even cast transcendental magic and searched the whole world, but she couldn’t find any trace of the soul frequency her master had possessed.

If that man was her master’s reincarnation, she would have felt a match in the frequency of their souls at that time.

Diablo, who couldn’t even imagine that Vers had accepted the soul of the mercenary V shortly after, muttered in a small voice.

“Vers Grangiel. Just who are you…?”

* * *

“My heart felt like it was about to burst…”

After the commotion in the restroom, Sophia and Vissus, who had parted ways with Artoria, returned to their room, undressed, and lay on the bed.

The excitement from when Sophia had embraced him and they had lain on the floor together still lingered.

“Because it was the women’s restroom.”

“Because this is how our proper first encounter began.”

When Sophia demanded an explanation for what she had done, all Vissus did was repeat those words, with her chest puffed out.

I guess I’ll have to see the details through a dream or something.

“What did I do in that other world of yours? What happened that we were so close in the women’s restroom?”

Well, since I was with Sophia as Vissus Grancoeur, as a secretary, I don’t think I would be much different from who I am now.

Vissus, who had neatly arranged the sheets, lay on the bed.

And just like before, he fell into a deep sleep.

Thud.

Tap-tap.

Space was swiftly passing around Vissus.

It was a different sight than usual because it was moving so quickly, but it was a landscape familiar enough to Vissus.

“The corridor of the Academy lecture hall?”

Until just a moment ago, it had been the corridor of the Academy lecture hall building where Artoria, Sophia, and Vissus had stayed.

Vissus’s body was running through that corridor at a very high speed.

“Stop right there!”

Vissus’s body shouted loudly.

“Being chased?”

In this current dream, Vess seemed to be chasing after something.

Ssyaeng

Vess, who had reinforced her legs with magic, leaped forcefully.

As she turned the corner, Vess noticed a fast-moving black object in the distance and jumped into the open door, following it.

“Just a moment. Is this… the same women’s restroom as before?”

Vess realized that she had jumped into the women’s restroom while her body was engaged in a pursuit.

She was so fixated on the object in front of her that she didn’t even realize it was a women’s restroom.

Kkiik

“Alright! I’ve cornered you! Now…!”

“Biiik!”

The black mass that Vess was chasing, a black-furred monkey, bristled its fur and guarded against Vess.

It had the demeanor of a cornered mouse fleeing from a cat.

With an excited expression, Vess reached out her hand towards the monkey.

And then.

Whiing

Vess quickly jerked her head back.

Someone’s fist had struck where her head had been.

“Ah! That’s dangerous! What are you doing!”

Vess protested, barely regaining her balance.

“I have something to say. What are you up to?”

“A familiar voice and tone. Could it be?”

“…Huh?”

Vissus scanned the woman in front of him from top to bottom.

Sophia glared at Vissus with a clenched fist.

“Sophia de Rubellion?”

“Yeah. That’s my name, Sophia. What brings you all the way into the restroom with me?”

Sophia’s current tone of voice was similar to the one Vissus was used to hearing from Sophia, but the atmosphere and attitude were very rigid and cold. It was hard to believe they were the same person.

“The restroom?”

Vissus looked around.

It was a restroom filled with women’s facilities.

Realizing where he was, Vissus took a step back.

“Oh… It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. I didn’t come in here to follow you…”

Vissus held up his palms to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Do you think I’ve only seen scum like you a couple of times in my life!”

Sophia rushed at him, throwing punches.

“Uh! Wait, let’s talk for a moment!”

Vissus narrowly avoided Sophia’s punches.

“It’s pointless to talk!”

As Sophia’s fierce attacks continued, Vissus gradually retreated.

“No, if someone speaks, the story will…!”

“There were plenty of men who tried to pry into my position and secrets! But none of them left unscathed!”

aaah!

Are they thinking that I sneaked into the women’s restroom with ulterior motives?

It was Secretary Seuss who could only avoid the opponent’s attacks and step back in a situation where it was ambiguous whether to block or counterattack.

Flash

At that moment, Secretary Seuss saw a black mass flickering behind Sophia.

Chin

Secretary Seuss tightened his face and grabbed one of Sophia’s fists.

“Ugh! You!”

Sophia grimaced and swung her other fist, but Secretary Seuss lowered his upper body and rushed into Sophia’s arms.

Thud

Secretary Seuss’s face went between Sophia’s soft breasts, but he had no time to worry about such things.

“Let go, let go!”

Sophia blushed and shouted in a muffled voice.

Secretary Seuss held Sophia like that and turned around.

Thud

“Ugh…!”

Secretary Seuss let out a groan from the strong impact on his back.

Feeling like he was losing consciousness, Secretary Seuss mustered strength in his legs, adjusted his posture, and quickly drew his sword and threw it backward.

Puff.

Secretary’s sword pierced the demon covered in black fur.

Thud.

The demon, wounded on Secretary’s back, collapsed.

“Phew. I’m alive. It was close.”

“…You.”

Sofia lost her words at the sight.

“I told you…misunderstanding…”

With that, Secretary’s consciousness faded, and his body lost balance and fell backward.

Thud.

Secretary fell back onto the bathroom floor, and Sofia fell on top of him.

Sofia quickly put her hand behind Secretary’s head to protect it from the impact.

“…It was a misunderstanding.”

Looking at the man who lost consciousness with his head buried in her chest, Sofia fell deep in thought.

Naturally, she thought it was a sinister plot targeting her, the daughter of the President.

Because she had experienced countless schemes before.

So she tried to capture him firmly and make sure no one dared to mess with her.

But this man. Did he throw himself to protect her from someone who misunderstood and tried to strike her?

Sofia turned her gaze to the demon lying dead with Secretary’s sword still stuck in it.

Did he come inside chasing after that demon?

Sophia brought in Vires.

Behind Vires’ back, I could see numerous thorns shot by a demon stuck in it.

Was it to protect me from these thorns that he shielded me with his back?

“It’s my fault.”

I received such an undeserved favor.

When I tried to harm him.

Sophia lifted Vires into the princess’s embrace.

Then she turned her gaze towards the bathroom door.

“First, we need to find the priest.”

Apologies and rewards for favors come next.
