“So with that, I’m quitting!” Yrsha said with a smile as she handed a letter to a certain person inside an office. The person himself gapes his mouth in utter shock.

“Wait, Miss Einhart, why so sudden?!” The man with a balding head and wearing a glasses, asked in desperate and crumbling hoarse voice. She immediately tried to reach out to Yrsha’s hand but was suddenly stopped.

“……” Spoof immediately took Yrsha’s hand before the man could do it.

“Well, as you can see, I wanted to settle a life with this gent here. Also, the education in this academy actually sucks and I’m actually just putting up with it. I’m just here because of the generous salary. Again, so with that, I’m quitting!” Yrsha smiled once more as she took Spoof’s arm in a tender hug as if she is flaunting him.

“……” Spoof, who is currently wearing stylish casual clothes handpicked by Mika, looked away in embarrassment as he scratches his cheek.

“Aw shucks! He’s all embarrassed!~ Well then, since it’s summer vacation, I think you can immediately find a replacement for me. Since it’s my sister’s birthday today, I don’t want any hassle so please, take care of the rest for me!~” Yrsha winked at the man before turning away from him, dragging Spoof out of the faculty.

The other men in the faculty had their faces held down as if their dreams were crushed and their motivation to live was stripped off.

“Damn it!! Is it because of the face?! It is the face, right! She is so damn cute that I’m still wrapped around her fingers even though she already has a man! Now how do I find a replacement!?” The man bangs on his table.

In the hallway of the academy, Spoof carries a large bag on his back while Yrsha walks beside him. Their footsteps resound and the heat of the summer tinges the atmosphere, making it a little stuffy.

“I’m sorry for making you do this when it’s so hot.” Yrsha bends her body forward and looks up to Spoof with an apologetic smile.

“……!” Spoof brought his hands forward and started gesturing that he doesn’t mind in panic.

“Ehehehe!~ Is that so? Thank you.” Yrsha beamed another blinding smile with her cheeks now blazed with a tender blush.

They started walking again with only a little space between their shoulders. Yrsha immediately felt a little awkward now and nervous while Spoof’s mind is still in confusion as to why Yrsha is with him and why did she fell for him.

“Hey, are you accompanying me today because I’m just Reysha’s sister?” Yrsha asked a question without looking at Spoof’s face even though she is aware that he can’t speak.

“……” Spoof knows it himself that he is compelled because she is Reysha’s sister. He just nodded in return without letting Yrsha knows it. It made him a little guilty but that’s just it for him.

“Well, It’s your fault for making me fall in love with you at first sight. So, I’ll try hard to make you fall for me, okay?” Yrsha said those words with tender sweetness but her eyes are full of resolution.

“I won’t ask for us to be lovers on the get-go. I don’t want to force a marriage on you too. The other night was just I got carried away. For now, why don’t we start as a friend?” Yrsha stopped on her tracked making Spoof stop too.

Yrsha faces Spoof and looks into his eyes as she holds out her hand for a handshake.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

“……!” Spoof reach his hand out and shook hand with Yrsha in an embarrassed manner as his face flared up again once more.

Surprised, Yrsha also awkwardly held onto the rough hand of Spoof.

Actually, because of the heat of the moment, Yrsha blurted out about marriage and stuff but after having time to rethink of her actions, she burst in a stream of screams of embarrassment as she thought she was forcing herself to Spoof.

Right now, she is so self-conscious of herself that any bodily contact becomes awkward for her.

Spoof is quite unsure of himself for the reason, it was a first for him. As part of the bandit host club, it was only natural to be showered by affection and to mingle with girls, however, he felt that Yrsha’s affection is deep and real and that’s why he is having second thoughts.

Was it really love at first sight? He thought.

And so came a dawn for the man who lost his voice and has a low self-esteem and the woman who is awkwardly loud and confident.

The two of them came out of the academy front gate and met up with Zirk who is waiting in a carriage.

“Oh, just get those things inside. Miss Yrsha, we have a new prototype of carriage especially made by none other than I, Zirk! I’ve installed cooling runes on it and making it an air-conditioned type carriage!” Zirk grins as he beheld them his new invention.

“Oh, really?! Woooh! Finally! It’s so damn hot! How about you guys?” Yrsha asked as she saw how the coachman’s seat is still open to the hot weather.

“……” Spoof opens the door for Yrsha with the intent to enter the carriage too.

However, Zirk immediately grabs Spoof’s shoulder with an iron grip while emitting a dark aura.

“Oh, WE will be fine! Right, Spoof?!” Zirk said as his grip tightens and Spoof started sweating profusely not because of how hot today but because of an entirely different reason.

“Is…that so? Okay!~” Yrsha happily boarded the carriage and Spoof gently closes the door.

He had no choice but to join Zirk under the blazes of the sun today.

“Move your damn asses!” Zirk shouted as he lightly whips on the horses pulling the carriage with an evil smile. The horse started lightly galloping through.

The little breeze of their travel gave a little comfort to them.

Spoof noticed that the horses are quite lively despite the heat. He figured that before Yrsha and he arrives, Zirk tends to them and gave them plenty amount of water.

Spoof thought that Zirk is quite thoughtful, however…

“Eiru have Demon Lord Ivy, Hansen has Princess Meriyal, Furan has his…housewives…and now, you and Miss Yrsha! You are one of those lucky bastards that were able to fetch a good haul!” Zirk said like he is cursing at Spoof.

“……!” Spoof tried explaining that he and Yrsha aren’t like that…at least, not yet.

“Stop that, you are going to be a big disappointment if you keep denying it. I understand how you feel and everything is sudden. In the end, it’s all for you to decide. Think about it, her slim and beautiful feet stepping you while she just freshly took her socks off.” Zirk said towards Spoof in a low voice.

“……!” Spoof contemplated. He contemplated as if he is trying to find the meaning behind the universe. Yrsha is Rerysha’s sister so it will be given that she also has a high-quality foot. Pearly white feet with perfectly trimmed nails.

“You…probably should stay quiet about your masochistic tendencies…” Zirk knitted his brows as he saw how serious Spoof becomes.

It’s your fault that I started thinking like this right now though, Spoof thought.

“Oh boy, but imagined getting sandwiched by both of their feet. A combination of two sisters massaging your face with their bare feet.” Zirk, knowing that Spoof is a little stirred now, kept stirring.

“…!......!” Spoof reaches out to Zirk’s neck and strangles him.

“I know! I know! Okay, I’m sorry, it hurts, dumbass! I won’t tease you anymore!” Zirk tried to shake off Zirk and when he apologized, Spoof lets go of him.

Spoof quietly sighs as the heat of the weather resonated with his own excitement.

“Sheesh, be a little more tamed with the violence! Well, speaking of Miss Reysha, don’t you think that she and the leader are quite an item to behold?” Zirk asked.

“……?” Spoof tilted his head in confusion.

“There’s been a weird camaraderie between the two of them lately. It’s kind of odd but at the same time, it fits. Don’t you think they make a good couple?” Zirk cleared up his intention behind his words to Spoof.

“……” Spoof shrugs as he don’t quite picture it well but he is aware that they have been getting closer in a weird way.

“Hopefully, we can find out soon what their relationship will end up to. I have a lot of respect to both of them so I don’t want this thought to fly over to their ears.” Zirk muttered as he kept his eyes straight on the road.
