Ruid came to the health room.
This was the only place with a large mirror.
“…So this is what my future will look like.”
Ruid was standing in the mirror with his hair cut.
Looking at him like this, he almost looked like a boy. Just a handsome boy.
Until now, she seemed like a perfect woman. He changed simply by cutting his hair. Ruid realized how much of an impact hair style had.
“How old are you?”
[1, About 17 years old.]
“Are you sure?”
However, something else was the problem –
‘Why are you so tall?’
I was confident that I would grow taller in the future.
That’s right, Amelia is tall for a girl, and Irene is not short either. If Amelia is around 170, Irene is around 168.
‘I’m slightly taller than Hercy right now, so I’m a lot shorter than Amelia.’
If you calculate from that, it is estimated that your 17-year-old self would be around 163.
“…Isn’t it bigger?”
[Great, I grew it until it was fully grown. yes. Keep it that way for the rest of your life until you die.]
“…!”
Ruid was even more shocked than when he heard the doctor pronounce him dead.
‘Rather than living as a short man, it’s better to live as a kid.’
Maybe 12-year-olds can be pushed as unique characters(?).
The low 160s was too much.
“huh…?”
At that time, I heard a sleepy female voice.
When I turned my head, I saw Lydia looking at me as if she had just woken up.
“Have I been sleeping for 10 years already?”
Lydia yawned and said.
“Now that it’s all grown up, you can eat it.”
“….”
Suddenly, Lydia’s age came to mind. Based on the setting, it would have been 500 years old.
Her body grew less. Approximately a 15 year old girl.
Ruid placed his hand on Lydia’s shoulder.
“What’s the secret?”
“…huh?”
Lydia was unusually embarrassed when Ruid suddenly acted unexpectedly.
That’s right, the current Ruid looked like he was out of his mind.
“Tell me the secret to immortality.”
Stop the body.
Ruid was sincere no matter what.
‘A lot of research on immortality has been done in this world.’
That’s actually true.
The goal of the warlock, who can be said to be a huge enemy in the first place, is to make his master immortal.
“I want to know?”
Lydia tilted her head and looked slightly seductively.
It was the first time I saw her looking like a saint. Ruid spoke seriously.
“If you believe in God, I will believe it.”
“God is dead.”
“…?”
“You don’t have to believe in that kind of God.”
Lydia spoke coldly, then returned to her original expressionless face.
“Get married instead.”
Lydia placed her hand on Lloyd’s cheek.
“Then I will make you immortal forever.”
Ruid is in a situation where he can’t choose hot or cold food because he’s in a hurry.
However, I couldn’t help but come to my senses when I heard the word “marriage.”
Originally, I would have refused, saying ‘I don’t like it.’
But he has grown. I decided to respect others properly.
Ruid said with a straight face.
“I think 500 years of difference is unconscionable. No matter how you look at it, dating is not possible with an age gap of more than 5 years. “I appreciate the offer, but I decline it.”
“….”
Lydia looked at her chest.
It seemed like there were dozens of arrows stuck in it. They all hit right in the center of the heart.
“Miho.”
[Nng.]
Miho quickly approached and bit Ruid’s arm.
With a refreshing feeling, the fox beads came out, and Ruid’s kidneys became smaller.
Ruid, who returned to his 12-year-old self, checked the mirror.
It is your original self. I didn’t know I would miss this little guy this much.
‘What’s left…’
I checked below, sweating somewhat.
‘thank god.’
It existed straight away. A precious item.
Ruid sighed in relief and wiped his forehead.
And then he left the health room as if nothing had happened.
After a while.
Lydia, the saintess who was sitting down, touched Luid’s still warm hand.
“…It’s too much. “I’m a girl too.”
Lydia, who had already been kicked for the fourth time this year, was not in a good mood.
**
“You go back to Hercy.”
A formal contract was signed with Miho.
It definitely felt different from when I signed my familiar.
‘I feel it. Emotion, position, power.’
It feels like we’re a little more connected to each other.
Perhaps, Miho could feel his emotions as well.
It wasn’t a bad feeling.
[yes. What are you going to do, Ruid?]
Miho looked like she got what she wanted. It was soft.
Even though I hated Miho for putting her through such a hard time, I felt like I couldn’t vaguely hate her.
After all, appearance is important.
At least as long as he was in the form of a fox, it was difficult for Ruid to be angry with Miho.
“To Hersi.”
[…This time I behaved arrogantly and was arrogant, so I’ll handle it cleanly. Of course, I won’t do it in a way that Ruid doesn’t want. Kill me, kill me.]
‘Do you want to kill me?’
Miho’s true feelings were in the last paragraph.
However, his intention to get things done neatly was also sincere.
The power and wisdom of the Great Spirit cannot be ignored. Hersi’s family matter will probably be resolved quickly if left to itself.
But he shook his head resolutely.
“I want to do it myself.”
People don’t change overnight. Anyone would do that. It was the same with Luid.
I still wanted to live like a child, and I didn’t want to become an adult. That’s because he’s a child.
But recently, various things have happened and Ruid has felt many things.
In particular, the word ‘respect’ that Damon said yesterday was deeply embedded in my mind.
The resolution I made last time to ‘live life seriously’ has come to naught. Honestly, I still don’t know. What does it mean to live life seriously?
However, I felt like I could do what Damon taught me about respecting someone.
Ruid looked at his small hands.
‘I am an unemployed person who is nothing other than the body of this ‘lazy Ruid’. But anyway, I possessed the body of ‘Lazy Ruid’.’
I realized this through this incident.
Being possessed by this ‘lazy Ruid’ is truly a great blessing and good fortune.
Actually, I still don’t feel like I have to do something grandiose. I could do it all, save the world, become a hero, and go down in history, but I don’t really want to do it.
Ruid just wanted to live happily with the people around him. Sleep when you’re sleepy, play when you want to play, and live as you please.
What could be more selfish than this? That was the same as abandoning all obligations.
But if you decide to live that way, you have to do the minimum.
A minimum level of respect must be shown.
That will be the reward for receiving this unrequited love.
“I will respect Hersi. To do that, I have to move it myself.”
[Are you finally moving?]
Miho gulped in nervousness.
Ruid stopped walking.
He spoke a little hesitantly.
“Well, not a lot, but a little…?”
Still, my unemployed personality isn’t going anywhere.

“Assistant professor?”
Phenicia looked at the small boy who came to her with bewildered eyes.
“…It’s already been a month since you haven’t taught your class.”
“There were circumstances…”
Ruid tried to answer as usual, but then continued.
“yo. this.”
“…?”
Phenicia gave an unexpected look.
‘What kind of change of heart occurred?’
You use honorifics. Of course, he used it originally, but recently I thought that Ruid used informal language to everyone.
Phenicia was puzzled, but smiled brightly.
“You can treat me poorly.”
“….”
“It’s because I feel further away than before. “Maybe other people will feel the same way.”
Ruid nodded.
“okay.”
“I don’t think I should become an assistant professor at Confucius, but I think he doesn’t want to teach. yes. I am welcome. Would you like to go with me?”
Phenicia stood up holding today’s class materials. Ruid followed her.
As I entered the classroom, I made eye contact with Hersi. There was a fox napping on Hersy’s desk. Hersi widened his eyes at the unexpected person.
“This is Professor Ruid, who will be an assistant professor for the time being. “This is only an assistance concept, so please ask questions directly to me.”
“I have a question.”
“yes.”
“…When is the next cooking class?”
Ruid looked at the distant mountains.
Phenicia smiled awkwardly.
“They say they will announce it later.”
“Well, by the way, why did Confucius attend this class?”
“After all, the students taking ‘Delrin’s Magic Theory’ are the highest honors students at the Imperial Academy. “You say you want to see the level of academy students.”
Phenicia put it on with a smile on her face. It was out of consideration for Ruid.
‘As expected, he is capable.’
With that thought in mind, Ruid looked at Hersy, who had a gentle expression on his face.
‘As expected, it’s different.’
Seeing this, I felt an enormous amount of goodwill. It’s clearly different from Jeon.
Anyone would have felt disappointed, but Ruid actually felt grateful.
‘It was because of the fox…’
Until then, Hercy had not been hostile. The reason I got angry was because a complete stranger touched Miho.
The reason I left Miho in charge was purely because it was annoying. Hersi was taking care of her spirit with great care.
That’s why I didn’t want to see Hersy cry.
‘What kind of idiot would plan to seduce someone and then say, ‘I like someone with a good family background’?’
Ruid lightly scolded himself and laughed weakly. Let’s get rid of the dark history. I thought about it seriously.
‘Make him admit it, or get rid of it.’
It was simple. Watch and clean up when you think Klein is doing something wrong.
However, if it were simply the usual troubles that come from a relationship between noble siblings, it would make Klein recognize Hersi. Like Amelia’s advice.
Ruid wanted Amelia’s way as much as possible. It’s peaceful, and it’s best for Hercy.
but-.
“…I have a favor to ask. Professor Phenicia.”
“yes. “Say it, Klein.”
“I understand that it is unusual for Prince Louis to attend a class like this. Prince Ruid is a genius wizard who has accomplished many feats in a short period of time since Archmage Delrin, but the ban on asking questions seems too harsh. So, can you give me a chance to ask questions for just 10 minutes?”
“Ah, ahaha… I’m sorry. Prince Ruid said he did not want to participate in anything other than the content of this lecture.”
“Oh… that’s a shame. too.”
Ruid feels it intuitively.
“….”
Klein, who was looking at himself with a smile hiding his slight anger, said that Irene’s method was more necessary than Amelia’s.
And now, Ruid was so determined that he would adopt Irene’s method whenever necessary.
“Then, let’s start the lecture now.”
