I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Cat Washing

“Oh no! Absolutely not!”

She shook her head in desperate denial.

It looked so desperate that I almost believed it.

‘Believe it or not, it has to be done in moderation.’

I told her

“No, what is it? And, I’ve never seen you do the same to other people as you do to me.”

“That’s it… Because I was best friends with you… ”

Seriously, it’s heartbreaking.

It seemed that there would be no end to the question of whether her behavior here was a prank.

I decided to skip this first.

“Yeah, well, whatever that is for now.”

“It’s not like that, really not!”

“Where do you raise your voice!”

“sorry… ”

There are still a lot of important things left.

“You said that expelling me was a joke?”

She fidgets, as if she really has nothing to say this time.

As I sighed again, Veronica exclaimed in amazement.

“Now, rather than joking around, I feel like I haven’t gotten along with you lately… ”

“Yeah, thanks to someone’s ‘prank’.”

She lowers her head further.

“That, so… As I said before… I was going to oppose deportation if you asked!”

Seriously, I’m speechless.

So rather than questioning this.

“No, what. To be honest, I am quite grateful for this.”

“yes… ?”

At my answer, Veronica looked at me like she didn’t understand.

Before long, her face brightened a little, as if she had misunderstood.

“Oh no! Of course! I can’t really exile you… ”

“What do you mean? I used to get annoyed at partying with you guys, but thank you for letting me beat you up.”

“Ahhh… ”

Veronica’s pupils waver mercilessly.

“What… Now that I’m here, I was actually planning to oppose the deportation, though I can’t believe it to say the least.”

“Really, believe me!”

At her words, I laughed out loud.

now come what

“How much fun I had when I was partying with you!”

“It must have been fun. who thought of me as a toy… ”

“Really, not really! I swear, Louie!”

Even if she says so, there is no great emotion.

“Never again, never again!”

“yea, I got it.”

When I answered that, Veronica’s expression seemed to brighten up a bit again.

“thank you! never… ”

“I’m going to be living as a south-south person anyway, but there will be no chance for that.”

“What… ?”

I think Veronica was trying to say something.

It was quicker for my mouth to open again.

“And the thing in the duel… ”

As soon as I brought it to my mouth, Veronica became contemplative.

“I really didn’t know that either!”

Before I can even say anything, she makes excuses as if screaming.

“Really, Louie! As you can see, I first create a regular scroll and then turn it into a cursed scroll… ”

Desperately, she began to explain her knowledge of magic.

I listened moderately, then cut her off.

“I see that. But, the reason you said that just before the duel… ”

“Lu, Louie, you apologize first… sorry… ”

Still, she lowered her head, knowing that it was embarrassing.

My face is red, and my voice is crawling.

‘I bet that’s not acting… ?’

With so little doubt.

“You are really shameless.”

“sorry… ”

What happened during the duel was not at all incomprehensible according to her explanation.

Leo bastard left Veronica with only the production of normal scrolls.

If the process of making the curse scroll was done by herself, it would make sense that Veronica didn’t know.

After all, there were many people who could do it even if it wasn’t her, so it’s understandable that he did Leo’s request.

I was going to tell you the truth from the beginning, but what about waiting for my apology…

Considering Veronica’s personality, it’s surprisingly understandable.

“Whew… ”

I giggled a little and laughed.

Well, I’m here to apologize.

No matter how I think about it, it seems too late.

To Veronica, who is standing in front of me and looking at me, waiting for an answer.

I opened my mouth.

“Yes, Veronica. First of all, I heard you well.”

“yes… ”

“But it was all a joke. I had no intention of doing that. I didn’t mean to. You mean this? There is no evidence whatsoever.”

“That, that… ”

I waited for her to say something.

There was no clear answer.

Veronica is also worried a lot.

In the end, he seems to have realized that the essence of what he just said is all there is to it.

As for me…

I don’t know if I should believe that.

But, whether I believe it or not.

It seemed that my actions would not change anyway, so I came to a surprisingly simple conclusion.

“Then let’s do this, Veronica.”

“Yes?”

“I believe everything you just said. To be honest, I liked hanging out with you before… ”

“Gee, really… ?”

Because Veronica looked at me in disbelief.

I nodded at her.

“Thank you, Louie! I will never… ”

Maybe she’s happy, but she’s welling up with tears.

But, I’m not done yet.

“okay. I’ll trust you, I even received an apology… ”

Veronica nods vigorously.

“… So. Everything has been cleaned up, so let’s stay south to south from now on.”

“Um, what?”

“After all, it’s not the same party anymore. Every time I see you, I think it brings back bad memories.”

“Now, are you kidding me, Louie? haha… ”

“So, I will accept the apology. Please do not appear in front of me like this from now on.”

“Wait, Louie!”

I said to her who was about to shout something.

“Are you sorry? Then I’ll ask you a favor.”

Having said that, I was about to leave.

Veronica grabs my sleeve.

“Go, don’t go… ”

Although she asks in a watery voice.

“Let go.”

With those words, she finally shook her hand.

“Huh… sniff!”

I hear Veronica whimpering from behind.

I headed back to my dorm room.

When I got back to my room, I felt uncomfortable with the sweat from earlier.

More than that, to get rid of the unpleasant feeling, I washed first.

Washing with warm water seems to make me feel better.

Wash up, change clothes.

I looked at the sword placed on the other side of the room earlier.

Think about it for a while.

“Hey, let’s take a break today.”

Honestly, it was too hard.

I put off my sword practice until tomorrow and threw myself onto the bed.

Then, the image of Veronica I met earlier kept popping into my head.

Especially, the way she was sobbing…

“Ah, sir!”

I shook my head.

That’s what I told her.

Right now, this event is a problem.

It’s better to have Veronica to clear this event.

Because it requires a fairly high level of magical knowledge.

But again, in the crucial part, Veronica gets in the way.

Various scenarios run through my head.

‘It seems impossible to sneak in and take out only Sally.’

It’s a terribly difficult job, and if I ever get caught, it’s with my skills right now…

“Oh really!”

I screamed and grabbed my head and rolled over on the bed.

Do I really need to go straight to the summit?

—

the next morning.

“Good morning, disciple!”

“Yes, Master… sir?”

When I saw Master’s appearance, I felt puzzled.

No, why didn’t I notice this yesterday?

Was it because I was too used to it?

So, what do I mean?

Now, Master’s condition is quite twisted.

Even though it’s a worn-out uniform.

‘Honestly, it’s a little dirty… ‘

Why didn’t you wash it?

I asked her carefully.

“I, Master… ?”

“What’s going on?”

“Hmm… Did you wash up this morning?”

“I washed my face properly!”

cat wash… ?

Yesterday, she obviously went in a different direction than the dorm.

I asked out of curiosity.

“Where did you wash?”

“In the deep mountain Ongdal spring that I always used… ”

“Master.”

“yes?”

“Did you not apply for dormitory?”

“I have no money!”

Seeing her smiling brightly and talking, I touched my forehead.

Indeed, it was.

Just then, a cadet passing by grabs his nose and frowns.

“What smell… ”

When I opened my eyes, he stopped talking and quickly ran away.

Don’t forget to chew on me from behind.

‘I barely smell it… ‘

It just looks a little twisted.

Anyway, this isn’t the problem.

In the first place, there were many aristocrats, and even if it wasn’t, this academy had a bathroom in each dormitory room.

I can’t guarantee that there won’t be another cadet like that just now.

I started thinking about what to do about this situation for a while.

Although I will buy her meals.

Besides, I don’t have the money to apply for a dormitory.

Even if a reward came from the imperial family, it might be possible to apply since the semester started in the first place.

But we can’t keep her in the cave.

In an instant, a thought popped into my head.

‘I’d rather sleep in my room secretly… ‘

I shook my head violently.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden, disciple?”

Looking at her worried eyes at me, I thought.

‘No, no matter what, that’s not it…’ ?’
