chapter 132
132 – Sausage in a row
It must have been about six months ago, and I was reading a horror novel that was popular these days to pass the time.
In fact, to me, who only read technical books listing magic formulas, literature could almost be called a genre with quite a few barriers. Sure enough, even though I barely got through the pages of the book, I wasn’t particularly impressed by the novel, other than thinking that the criminal’s tricks were unnecessarily complicated.
Just simply say, ‘I guess so…’ ‘, I only glanced at it from the corner of my eye, so I didn’t remember much of the tricks or content, but there was just one thing. The way the murderer disposed of the body in the novel was so impressive that I still remembered it clearly.
“la… Ran… ? Hey, did you put anything strange in your bag? ?”
Even if I stopped in the middle of the stairs and muttered to myself, there was no way I would reach the ears of the children who had already gone up to the second floor a long time ago.
Kwaaak, look here! It’s so pretty! The children’s cheers, buried in the wind, came from the second floor, but there was no answer to my pitiful question.
Calm down, Eugene.
I must have heard wrong.
Is it like a novel? city… The body probably isn’t in the bag.
Plus, it’s a human voice. So you’re saying he’s still alive? If you think about it rationally, it is a bag that is infinitely insufficient to fit something the size of a person. It’s roomy enough to put clothes in, but it’s an absurd amount of space to fit people in, especially for people to have a conversation.
okay. Sane. You have to take care of the opposite s*x. I must have heard something like an auditory hallucination. In front of the villa, as expected, it was clear that there was a cat inside.
Ran often goes out to play with the stray cats that call the academy campus their home. The good boy was sorry to leave them and go on a trip alone, so he gathered the cats he was close with, put them in a bag, and secretly brought them back.
Yes, it has to be that way.
“… .. But first of all, you never know.”
I swallowed dry saliva and put down my bag.
Strangely enough, it doesn’t feel heavy.
cat… cat… This is a cat… I hypnotized myself like that,
Crash.
I opened the bag.
“uh… ?”
Just when I was relieved that there was nothing.
“Oh my! Fire! “What if I push you like that?”
“It’s because it’s narrow. Please be patient.”
“I said this magic has its limits… yo. this! Ugh… breath! Breathtaking… !”
“Everyone, let’s be quiet and stop fighting. Eugene might hear it.”
“Huh… I’m sweating… nah… hot… Now the mother… Professor Freya… Please cast some mental magic on me… ”
“… If you mess with your senses, you may not notice when it’s really dangerous. “How about making something like cold ice yourself?”
“Just maintaining this magic is the limit… ”
“Then it’s Undy. There is also a saying that it is fierce and fierce. “I will especially cast my signature Phantasm.”
“Are you planning to turn this place into a fire pit? Are you saying we want to die together?”
“It’s a teacher’s bag, so it has a strong teacher smell. “It’s a happy life.”
“… Didn’t I tell you last time, with an expressionless face, not to joke like that! “I really believe it?”
“… Just kidding… ? “I don’t know jokes.”
“Ugh! Awww, heat up! “It’s hot!”
“That’s right~ I’m already covered in sweat~♪”
“… ? Professor Aegis doesn’t seem to be sweating at all for saying that. The forehead and nape of the neck are also soft and fluffy… ”
“Ah, there is a separate area where sweat accumulates.”
“The part where you sweat… ?”
“Uhm… “If I were to pick the most uncomfortable and painful part, it would be the lower breasts~♪”
“Fire! Start a fire right now! The firepower is strong enough to burn off all the useless fat in your body! at once!”
“Hehe! Undine’s student. Fat is one of the essential elements for our body. Excessive fat may be a problem, but burning it all off is a bigger problem~♪”
“The two watermelons hanging there are needlessly excessive! “It would be acceptable if I reduced it by half!”
“In half here… Half again… “Then um, I guess I’ll be similar to Miss Undine.”
“aaah! Dunno! I didn’t hear you! Oppose s*xual harassment against academy students! Fire! “Prepare for arson!”
under… … These… …
I was speechless and was staring into the bag blankly.
I know that among Undine’s space-time magic there is a magic that expands space explosively. The signature phantasm of the DC family ancestor. Of course, it was a dangerous and complex magic that, if done incorrectly, not only the caster but also the people nearby could be crushed like spaghetti noodles.
The way to use magic varies depending on the situation and depends on the caster’s mind, but if it deviates so far from the basic sense of purpose, we have no choice but to look at it conservatively. After teaching, I wonder if I have developed a somewhat old-fashioned side. To put it bluntly, at least it is not a magic made to be hidden in an old bag like this.
A transparent rectangle similar in size to a glass.
Familiar faces are gathered together in a space that can easily fit in one hand.
The essence created by Undine’s magic.
I knew that the DC family’s level of space-time magic was amazing, but Undine’s ability to do this again and again is truly amazing.
Is it pure effort?
Or is it obsession with a different purpose?
I was seriously thinking about how to accept this, but I was hesitant to even open my mouth, so I backed away, holding my breath.
At that moment, Rin stuck her head out from the second floor and asked.
“brother? “What are you doing there?”
“Ah, Lin. “Are you done with the sightseeing?”
“yes! Ran is playing above! “Brother, please come too!”
“Okay, I have to go. I heard the scenery is amazing? “I’ll have to see how great it is.”
It was just when I was naturally about to close the bag. I had no choice but to flinch and stop when I heard the familiar voices of Undine and Cecilia.
“what? oh! Ah! teacher! teacher teacher!”
“… … teacher… ..”
Sheesh, we have to close it quickly.
“Where are you going! I know your voice can be heard! Okay, I have to go out! If you fire, the magic will be canceled, so don’t be thrown away!”
As soon as Undine finished speaking, light erupted from inside the bag.
Damn. The space that had been distorted by magic widens and is quickly demolished following the gesture of Undine’s hand, which destroys the magic array one by one. As soon as the opaque membrane expanded, the figures of four people emerged as if bent along with the light.
It is not an easy experience to see four people jumping into the air and pouring down like crazy. I reflexively tried to catch them, but when I came to my senses, I was already at the bottom of the sandwich.
… Well, it’s almost as if it’s only half crushed. I heard a popping sound and saw that one of my ribs was broken. Next to her, Lin is slightly closing her eyes and watching me with her sad eyes. “brother! careful… ! Ah… … ! oh my god!” I can’t be that thankful for that child’s one screamed word.
“Ugh… Ah! I’m sorry, Eugene. It’s very heavy, right? I’ll be down soon. wait for a sec. My posture… a little… Tangled… ”
“Oh my~♪ Professor Freya. Even if you say it while shaking your body like that, it is not persuasive. Look at Professor Neferna. I’m already on the verge of fainting. “You asked for a bubble~”
“Phew… You speak casually with a calm face, Professor Aegis. “You already knew from the beginning that Eugene was watching, right?”
“No way~ It’s not that sinister~♪”
Professor Aegis ahem! And he put his hand on his waist.
… I don’t care what you say, so come down quickly… …
But despite my wishes, there were two shadows sticking out like springs among them.
“teacher… … … !”
“Sooo much
***
“Thank God~ I didn’t break any bones. “My muscles are just a little shocked.”
“Thank you, Professor Aegis… .”
“Still, please be careful~♪ It was only yesterday that I got bruised and a fracture from being hit by the chairman~”
I guess it’s not something I can do because I’m being careful…
“… … that’s right? … … I got bruises… ? Fracture… ? Chairman… ?”
Cecilia, who had been quiet, muttered with unfocused eyes.
I was worried that the Chairman might not be able to fulfill all of his orders, and I was very anxious about Cecilia’s mood, so I took the initiative by blocking the flow of conversation and asking Undine a question.
“So when will you explain what the hell this is?”
“Oh my! Do I really have to say that with my own mouth! Fool♥”
“Then who will tell me…” . That magic was yours… .”
“Heungheung! Isn’t it natural for someone to follow along like this? Is there any way in the world to go on a family trip without your wife? And that too without saying anything! This is a crime! It’s an affair! “I feel like I’m under arrest!”
“What is a family trip… The only family relationship here is between Rin and Ran, who are brother and sister… ?”
I pressed her forehead as if I was dumbfounded, but the more I did so, the more her cheeks puffed out and she held on to my arm. How far can cheek fat extend? Then Undine let out a purr and began to laugh confidently. no… … That’s why you’re upset, isn’t it… ?
“Hehehe… Blood relationship is the only relationship that can be proven. “You and I are a family that is thicker than blood♥ recognized by documents and literally recognized by the laws of the empire as a family that cannot be canceled, cannot be rejected, and cannot be divorced♥”
“I don’t even remember putting a stamp on the document.”
“Oh my, a verbal contract is a contract, and an implicit affirmation is also an affirmation. Isn’t it? “It’s fire.”
Cecilia tilted her head.
“Are you talking about the seal?”
“yes? Ah yes. “You need a stamp on the marriage certificate, right?”
“… … “If it’s your problem, I’ve already collected about seventy-five.”
“… … “Fire?”
“Wait a minute, Student Cecilia. How about something like that… … why not… ?”
“Don’t worry, Professor Freya. I didn’t force it. “I just applied ink to the teacher’s finger while she was asleep and waited by her side for her finger to fall off.”
“Well, Professor Neferna, once you fall asleep, you don’t even know if someone carries you~♪ It’s a good method~♪”
It’s okay… … It’s a crime.
It’s true that you were forced to take the photo!
ha. Maybe this is good?
As I creaked and turned my head, I found Rin looking at me pitifully, and Ran looking blankly at me again today.
… … okay. I can’t be like this.
