Are you worthy of saving the world?

Irene dropped her head in frustration.

"Teacher Irene, why are you willing to sacrifice yourself to do this for Teacher Anna?"

Yuri put his hand on her hair, stroking it gently and asked.

This was certainly not the first time he had stroked Teacher Irene's head.

Normally, this would be given to Irene by Yuri as a "reward" for a job well done - in fact, it was also part of the training.

"Because Anna is very worrying!"

Irene raised her voice, which was a little hoarse: "She is my most important friend, and I don't want her to get hurt at all."

"You would go to such lengths for your friends?" Yuli raised his eyebrows.

“That’s normal.”

Erin tilted her head cutely.

Yuli shook his head and said, "No, this is not normal at all. Do you want me to bring a mirror over to show you what you look like now?

Wearing a maid outfit that reveals her cleavage and thighs, she kneels in front of her student and acts extremely flattering and coquettish..."

"Ugh...please don't continue talking."

Irene turned her face away shyly.

She was silent for a while before she raised her head again and said seriously, "You know very well, Anna is a girl with a strong sense of self-esteem...

Master, you are so mean, she won't be able to hold on for more than a few days... This is not only for Anna, but also for your safety, okay?

If Anna is irritated by you, with her temper, I really don’t know what extreme things she will do to you.”

"Indeed... Compared to Teacher Anna, Teacher Irene is much less dangerous, and more docile and obedient."

Yuli smiled slyly, and as he spoke, he gradually slid his hand from her head to her cheek.

Irene's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Is that so? Since you also understand this truth... Ugh, I told you not to call me Teacher Irene."

The pink-haired maid gently tickled the boy's thigh with her fingers like a spoiled cat.

"Teacher Irene is lying."

Yuli interrupted her intimacy coldly: "You keep saying that you are doing this for your worried friend, but that's not what you really think, right?"

"I did not lie."

Irene looked straight ahead: "Anna is my only and most important friend. The only thing I don't want her to get hurt."

"So, I've heard enough lies."

"!"

Irene raised her head and looked at the black-haired boy angrily, speaking in an uncharacteristically excited manner.

"So what do you think I am doing this for, Ulrich?"

"You are just a student, yet you dare to act so condescendingly in front of the teacher. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Hmph... You're not going to say that I actually like Anna secretly and have special feelings for her that go beyond friendship, right?"

Hearing her say this, Yuri laughed out loud.

"Is...what's so funny?" Irene asked with a tense face and angry eyes.

“…I’m sorry.”

Yuri laughed for more than ten seconds before stopping and then spoke.

“Although I also thought at first that Teacher Irene might like Teacher Anna, I later rejected this idea.

If you really have romantic feelings for Teacher Anna, you would never sneak into my house and do something like this without her knowledge."

"..."

A trace of panic gradually appeared on Irene's face.

Being looked down upon by Yuri's golden pupils, Irene felt a strange chill on the back of her neck for some reason.

"The opportunity came from someone I met recently at school."

It was Camus.

The girl who firmly believed that she was actually a boy.

After getting to know her, Yuli couldn't help but sigh: Childhood experiences can really influence a person's personality formation.

"Thanks to someone, I now seem to understand a little bit... the twisted and suppressed feelings you have for Teacher Anna."

"Wait, that's enough... Let's end this topic here..."

Irene's eyes flashed with panic again.

However, Yuli was not going to let her off so easily.

Yuri bent down slightly and spoke in a voice that only they could hear.

"Teacher Irene, you have always had a strong sense of inferiority and jealousy towards Teacher Anna."

"!!!"

After saying this, the pink-haired maid's shoulders began to tremble violently.

She showed an expression of incredible fear, crossed her wrists and hugged her arms, her fingers digging deep into her fair skin.

"How...what...you, what nonsense are you talking about...stop joking! Ulphis-san!"

"No kidding."

Without waiting for Irene to refute, Yuli continued to speak with a sympathetic expression on his face.

"Teacher Irene, you and Teacher Anna knew each other when you were still very young, right?"

"You two are best friends, you have been together since you were old enough to understand..."

"Play together, grow up together, study together, and work together."

"Although you are best friends, your personalities are completely opposite."

"Teacher Anna is very strong-willed, irritable, and a bit mean. She speaks bluntly and unpleasantly, so she always has trouble handling interpersonal relationships and is easily misunderstood."

"But you, Teacher Irene, are just the opposite. You are very good at dealing with people and are well-liked by everyone. Both teachers and students like you very much."

"At first I thought you developed this personality in order to protect Anna who was easily taken advantage of, but I seem to be wrong."

"Rather, the cause and effect are reversed—"

"The reason why Teacher Anna is so strong..."

"It's because when she was a child, she had to protect her best friend who always hid behind her and made her worry."

"........."

Irene's mouth opened and her eyes widened.

Yuli took a sip of black tea and continued, "The following is just my personal speculation. If I'm wrong, you can always point it out."

"Teacher Irene, you have had a very strong inferiority complex towards Teacher Anna since you were a child."

"When Annabelle was little, she was a strong-willed and competitive girl, and you just went with the flow and always tried to please others."

"Often at this time, the person who stands up to protect you is Annabelle."

"You admire Annabelle so much. We are all little girls, but she can be so strong and brave. She even dares to talk back to adults."

"You've become more and more dependent on her without realizing it, and she's already gotten used to your dependence on her."

In the living room, in addition to Yuli's calm words, the slight sobbing sound of Teacher Irene could be heard.

"As time goes by, you grow up, and the relationship between the two of you doesn't change much."

"You are beginning to understand your family's situation. Your family has completely declined since your grandfather's generation. Now it only has the title of nobility. However, Teacher Anna's family is very wealthy."

"In school, you studied and practiced very hard, but even so, Annabell was still the head of the seminary, and you were always second behind Teacher Anna."

"Besides that... after entering puberty, both you and Teacher Anna began to develop and become more and more feminine..."

Yuli glanced meaningfully at Irene's perky breasts and said, "But Teacher Anna is better developed."

"This situation did not change until you stayed on campus to work."

"The workplace is different from the student days. Personal ability is no longer the only criterion for evaluation."

"You gradually discover that as a teacher you are far more popular than Annabelle."

"You have a very good personality and are well-liked by your colleagues and classmates."

"Although Teacher Anna is very capable, she often runs into obstacles because of her personality problems. You will stand up and help her solve the problems at this time."

"From this moment on, your position has quietly changed..."

"Ahh~ I've had enough~"

Irene's sigh interrupted Yuri.

"That's why I hate students who are too smart. They're really unpleasant."

The pink-haired maid who had been kneeling upright now sat down on the carpet, her left arm resting on her raised white silk left leg, her posture lazy and undignified.

"What Ulphis said is absolutely right. Anna has always been my protector during my childhood."

Afterwards, Irene maintained her nonchalant look, stared at the ceiling, lost in her memories, and began to confess.

"I still remember clearly the first time Anna encountered setbacks at work."

"I feel relieved..."

"Anna seemed omnipotent to me when I was a child, but it turns out she would also suffer setbacks and fail. In the end, I had to step in and help her solve the problem..."

"When Anna thanked me, I felt a pleasure I had never experienced before."

Irene's delicate face revealed a witch-like happy smile.

The girl's inferiority complex and jealousy, which had been suppressed for nearly twenty years, were completely liberated at that moment.

Transformed into an indescribable wonderful sense of superiority.

"Anna may not be able to survive anymore. I have to support her and keep going. I thought so."
