date day
We set off early to the market
Rudeus is a very serious person, I can feel it when I go to the market with him
His character is almost the same as when he was a child, he is still so serious
... Maybe I just like his mature and steady feel?
"Rudeus, there is a restaurant over there, why don't you have something to eat first?"
"Okay, teacher, you go and order first, and I'll go to the stall over there to buy something."
"Good"
I also discovered something that is not friendly to me
Rudeus He... hates Demon Race
When passing by a stall or a shop, his eyes would never look at the stall owner. Even if he sometimes looked at each other, the disgust in his eyes could not be hidden, even if he was smiling.
Not afraid, not arrogant...Rudeus He... just disgusted
Of course, Rudeus wouldn't do that to me, but... Rudeus's eyes kind of remind me of the past, a bit like the look in the eyes of most humans when they abuse Demon Race...
No... I still don't care. It's not like I can't understand Rudeus's feelings.
In the few years of the Demon Continent, I must have seen a lot of greedy Demon Race, so Rudeus would have such views on Demon Race...
After placing the order, I was bored waiting for Rudeus to come back
"Eh... let alone Rudeus fall in love with me, I'm not sure if I can stop hating me..."
Lying on the table, my mind seemed to be empty, thinking about all these things.
Obviously I have figured it out and put Zenith first, but I just unconsciously think of Rudeus
It can't go on like this...
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, my face was frozen by something
I was frightened and turned around, only to find that it was Rudeus who came back with some snacks.
"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering when Rudeus would come back."
"Huh? I'm back now. Teacher, please try this. It's made with ice magic... uh? Frozen sweet milk?"
"Yeah!"
I took the snacks given by Rudeus, took a spoonful and put it in my mouth
The taste is very good, but what I am thinking about is what Rudeus just did
Although he is very mature and steady, he will make a joke at the right time to make me feel relaxed.
That's great~ This is my ideal man. Before I knew it, I had almost forgotten the discriminatory look Rudeus had just given to other Demon Race.
After all, Demon Race also has many branches, right? As long as Rudeus doesn't hate my race, it'll be fine, and this feeling of [special treatment] will make me very excited
"Teacher, how do you feel?"
"Huh? Ah! It's delicious."
As he said that, he scooped up another spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Rudeus held his chin with one hand and looked at me with a smile.
Although I think this should be some kind of [romance], I feel a little embarrassed to be stared at like this.
I scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Rudeus's mouth
I don't know why I behaved like this. When I was a little shy and wanted to take back my hand, Rudeus took the spoon directly into my mouth without hesitation.
Well...Rudeus had this level of experience when he was a child, so it shouldn't matter to him, right?
After the food was served, we chatted about the maze while eating.
At this time, I will teach Rudeus like a teacher
I don't know if he really doesn't understand or if he just wants to give me face, but he listened very carefully.
"Speaking of which, what is Rudeus doing at Ranoa University of Magic now? Be a student?"
"It's the teacher"
"Hmm? Can you actually be a teacher there? But Rudeus is indeed very powerful, so being a teacher is normal..."
"It's not about how great I am, it's about teacher Roxy's recommendation letter. Besides, I hardly teach."
"Well~ I have to take the test to become a teacher. I know best whether my recommendation letter is of that level."
Rudeus smiled and said nothing more
After eating, we left the restaurant
In the market, Rudeus almost bought books.
There are many books about magic circles, and it is clear that Rudeus does not require chanting...
"Teacher, what are you going to do after this is over?"
Rudeus was walking and suddenly asked such a question
What do I plan to do... Actually, I didn't know before, but this experience of almost dying made me think... maybe stability and happiness are what I want.
"I should also go to Ranoa University of Magic to be a teacher, right? It's also my dream."
Of course, I also want to try to marry you
I just can't say this.
"It is an honor for those people to be students of teacher Roxy"
"Don't expect too much from me. If I have a physique like this and become a teacher in a university, I will only be laughed at, right?"
"No, the students in that school are pretty good and wouldn't do such shameless things. Besides, I think the teacher's physique is fine and he's very cute."
But... cute...
Really? Yes! I'm actually... well, quite cute... but...
"Rudeus, is this how you talk to all girls?"
As I said this, I stood on tiptoes and put my fingers on Rudeus's nose.
"How is that possible? I'm just telling the truth."
"This... is like this... um..."
Could it be that, as Elinalise said, Rudeus might like people with my body type!?
I clenched my fists and raised my head
"Lu, Rudeus! After this is over, how about I also go to Sharia Magic University to be a teacher?"
Rudeus nodded without thinking and smiled.
"Of course it's good, you can live in my house when you get there? I bought a house near Ranoa University of Magic"
"Can... is it okay?"
"Teacher, I still remember what I said to you, you will always be my teacher, and at the same time, you are also my family. Of course, my home is also your home."
I always feel... something is wrong
Rudeus's respect for me is a bit too much...?
How can this continue to develop into the scene where I want to fall in love...
By the way! Elinalise said [as long as the man reacts after physical contact, it means there is still drama]
Give it a try!
I suddenly took Rudeus's hand, and at the same time I could feel my face turning red quickly.
Rudeus didn't make any big reaction, he just seemed to be shocked, and then he reacted and held my hand.
Is this a reaction? Is this a reaction? I will ask Elinalise about it when I get back!
"Teacher?"
"Ah... I... uh... just... want to hold you like I did when I was a kid?"
"I haven't changed much"
Rudeus said this without letting go of my hand.
The next so-called date was Rudeus holding my hand while walking around various vendors
Slowly, I no longer feel so ashamed. It's better to say that I have put it behind me.
We only let go of our hands after returning to the hotel
Feeling my hand being held all afternoon, I recalled the things we did together in the afternoon
Obviously nothing can be called special, but I am very happy...
Sure enough... I like the current Rudeus
