The brave Simmel wants to resign

"Oh."

Ieiri Glass waved his hand.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Yi Gu awkwardly leaned against him.

"What, you really can't stand Gojo?"

Fortunately, Yigu didn't need to come up with any topics. Although Ms. Shoko looked haggard and spoke rather rudely, she was actually a very nice person.

"Don't let that guy's appearance fool you. He's toned down a bit compared to his high school days. Although he's a troublesome fellow, we can trust him for now."

"I don't really care about what I say."

Yi Gu chuckled dryly, but he wasn't lying.

While most people could not endure Gojo Satoru's torment, Otsukotsu Yuta was no ordinary person either.

He's too mild-mannered, and he can handle Gojo Satoru's teasing without feeling bothered or uncomfortable—though he still makes sarcastic remarks.

“Really?~” Shoko was a little surprised, then a bright smile appeared on her face, completely different from her somewhat gloomy and tired expression. “That’s really unexpected. Maybe Gojo really hit the jackpot. That guy has always been jealous that Simmel has a student who likes him.”

Although it was entirely that person's own problem.

"...I always felt that everyone's thoughts were always focused on Ms. Simmel," Yi Gu murmured with a sigh.

"Yes."

Shoko smiled and pulled the lollipop out of her mouth.

"After all, that guy always called himself our patriarch. Oh, and speaking of which, Simmel was a bit more lively back in our day than you see her now."

The lively Ms. Simmel?

It doesn't seem that hard to imagine.

In fact, aside from her kind smile, Simmel was quite cheerful and carefree in her actions.

"Does everyone treat Simmel as an elder?"

"Hmm...it's hard to say," Shoko said casually. "If you really treat him like an old man, his face doesn't match. Besides, always being so concerned about the age gap would make Simmel feel lonely."

"Rather than being an elder, it's more accurate to say that I've been influenced by him without even realizing it. Even if I don't say anything, just by taking action and showing the results of that action, I can subtly influence other people's opinions."

Shoko lowered her eyes and chuckled twice.

"That was Simmel."

"You'll understand someday."

Although Yigu Youtai didn't understand, he still nodded seriously.

..................

........

After the meal, everyone transformed into birds and beasts and dispersed.

Except for the sacrum.

—I have a few more senior female students I'd like to introduce to you.

Upon hearing Simmel's words, Yiguyoutai agreed.

He has always been indifferent.

Following Simmel, they eventually arrived at a detached villa located on the outskirts of Tokyo.

This place is not far from the Academy of Spellcasting, and it is a secluded place, but Yi Gu has sensed the fluctuations of spell spirits several times... However... even though the spell power of those spell spirits is not weak, Yi Gu cannot sense any danger.

Is it because I've become stronger?

After a day of training, Yi Gu couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Hehe, training results won't come so easily."

Seemingly sensing Yigu's thoughts, Simmel, who was walking ahead with her hands behind her back, suddenly spoke up.

Huh?! I didn't say anything!

Bone stared wide-eyed.

"Some things can be felt from the atmosphere even if they are not said."

Isn't that a monster?!

"It's not a monster."

Ugh!

"Specifically, it's about breathing rhythm, eye contact... I'll teach you that later..."

As they talked, Yi Gu's awe of Simmel reached a new level, and the two arrived at the villa's door.

"Don't worry, Yigu. Once tonight is over, you'll definitely strengthen your bond with your friends."

After saying this, the hero knocked on the door.

knock knock knock.

A moment later, the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground could be heard from inside.

Snapped--

"Simmel!"

Then Yi Gu saw someone unexpected, yet seemingly reasonable.

Nanako, who had her blonde hair braided, pushed open the door with one hand. After confirming that it was Simmel, her eyes lit up, and she jumped onto him, hugging him like an octopus.

"I am back."

Simmel smiled, as if she were used to this treatment. "Where's Mimiko?"

"Studying~ So boring~" Nanako complained, while noticing Ottoko. "Hey? Isn't that the cursed kid?"

Who is this "Cursed Boy"...? Is it my nickname?

Despite the slightly offensive nickname, Etotsuya remained unperturbed.

He really doesn't care.

Simmel answered for Bone.

"Yi Gu is already a college student."

"real?!"

Yi Gu clearly saw the doubt in the eyes of the girl named Nanako turn into a bright light.

"Isn't that his junior?"

Junior?

Ah, thinking about it carefully, it's true that when Nanako first met Simmel, she was wearing a high school uniform.

"Hey!"

Nanako jumped off Simmel and then circled around Eto.

"Wow, your school uniform is a special edition!"

"This... must have been designed by Gojo-sensei..."

"Ugh~~~ Gojo-kun is so biased! Neither Mimi nor I got any special styles!"

So she calls Gojo-sensei "Gojo-nii"? ...That's a bit interesting.

Yi Gu noticed this strange detail, and at the same time, the unique fragrance and vitality of the female high school student made him feel uneasy and embarrassed.

Nanako's response to this—

They didn't notice a thing.

"Hey, call me sister! No, wait, boss!"

"Ah, yes, boss."

"Wow! She really screamed! Hahaha, she's much more well-behaved than Maki-chan!"

Nanako touched Eigu's head without any sense of boundaries.

Oops.

If we don't stop her, it looks like Rika is about to come out.

Bone cast a pleading look at Simmel.

Simmel noticed and smiled at Bone.

Simmel: ?

Give a thumbs up.

Bone: ?

Don't you teachers understand what's in your students' eyes?!

"Nanako, what are you doing? It's so noisy. And didn't I tell you to at least wear slippers? Don't step on the floor and the bed... Ah, Simmel."

In the entrance hall, Mimiko, who must have just taken a shower, walked out in slippers with her hair in a side ponytail, a rather risky hairstyle. Her face, which was initially annoyed, turned into a faint surprise after she noticed Simmel.

The existence of the sacrum was then quickly confirmed.

"You've joined a vocational college?" Mimi asked curiously.

“Yes, from now on we’ll all be part of the college family.” Simmel pulled Eku out of Nanako’s clutches, and the latter bowed very politely.

“Really? If you have any questions, ask me or Nanako, or even your classmates.” Mimiko seemed even more demure, and spoke clearly. “But don’t ask Gojo-nii, he’s not very reliable.”

Poor Gojo-sensei! She's been criticized countless times today... three times... I can't even count them! Please, leave Gojo-sensei alone!

Although he only stayed at the college for one day, Yi Gu couldn't help but complain to himself.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a racket?"

The group lingered in the entryway for too long, and the new characters inevitably heard the commotion and came out as well.
