"Sorry to disturb you."

After knocking the door and saying some greetings, Lyle pushes the door of the dean's room aside.

"I do feel that you aren't respectful at all..." while looking at him, Moori said so.

"Really? But I did knock the door and say hello."

"Didn't I tell you to only enter after there's a response?"

“hm? Nope you didn’t! And this is only my second visit you know!”

“*sigh* fine, so what do you want, brat?” she said while shaking her head “I’m also busy you know!”

“Nothing! It’s just that, my instructor wants to ask something from me and I really don’t want to answer her, so I came here to hide.” He said while shrugging his shoulders.

"And here I thought you came here to flirt with a girl...... hate to break it to you but this is not a place for that! Now leave, I'm busy!"

On seeing the girl who was standing behind Lyle, the dean said to him in a rebuking tone. She probably has some things that she wants to complain about.

"Girl? what girl, hm?....... uwaaah!"

It seems that Lyle forgot the existence of the girl he was dragging around.

“…eld me…”

“Huh?”

He couldn’t make out what she was saying, because she was muttering under her breath.

"hm? Isn’t she the ? Angelica Strauss!" said Moori as she recognized the girl behind him. "Why are you two together?"

"? Angelica Strauss? I see, so you knew her Darling"

Hearing the name, Lyle ponders for a second. Meanwhile, the dean, Moori was stunned as soon as she heard Lyle calling her in a completely outrageous name in such a casual way.

BANG!

She rammed her desk while her face was dyed with red.

“Wha, wha, what did you call me,you brat?”

Her voice held very complicated feelings that it’s very confusing whether she’s happy, mad, or embarrassed, while stuttering.

“Now that I remember, when I was still in the classroom, a girl suddenly came and approached me. Thinking it was a lifeboat, I just felt the ‘go-with-the-flow’ feeling as I dragged her here without knowing who she is. Yare yare this is troublesome, she might discover who I am, *sigh* I should have ditch her somewhere, although she felt very familiar as if I’ve already seen her somewhere. Strange….”

Completely ignoring the frantic and flabbergasted Dean, Lyle entered his own world, wandering where she have seen her.

“Kora! Don’t ignore me you brat!”

Now fleeting with anger, Moori shouted as she stood up from her chair while pointing her finger at him. With half-opened eyes, Lyle scratches the back of her hair and said

“Really now, Just what is the problem, Darling. I’m trying to think her, you know!”

“Th-that, that is the problem! Why are you calling me D-darling all of a sudden!? Is this a new way of bullying your Dean? Huh? Know some shame, Y-you’re just a twelve year old brat! Don’t you dare make fun of the adults, ca-calling someone D-darling all of a Su-sudden! Ku-kuno gaki ga!”

*siiiiiiiiigh* as if giving up with her he let out a long, long breath and said

https%3a%2f%2fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2fori...b03ab9.jpg [https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f7/29/dd/f729dde454d9731604743a31ceb03ab9.jpg]

“Baka dana Ome!” while shrugging his shoulders and stared at her with eyes saying ‘Isn’t that natural?’

Lyle said in a very casual, calm way as if he was stating a logical and universal truth

“You gave me this ring, right?” Lyle raised her left arm, showing the ring he’s wearing. Moori nods and then as if she realize what is he saying, her eye widened while her face was now beet red. “Right? Then no matter how you see it, it’s very natural to call you Darling, although if you’re not happy the way I said it, then I apologize. I tried to make it passionate, you know even though we’re still not married, be-because you just force it on me, so…..”

“St-stooooop! Don’t say any misleading words! Didn’t I tell you before, that is the I gave it to you for emergency situation! I didn’t give it to you for that kind of re-relationship, you Moron! So you should stop any I-indecent me-meaning!”

“Indecent meaning? Hoho, sate sate just what are you imagining? D-A-R-L-I-N-G……… echi!”

“Shut up!!!!”

“First…..time…..held….my hand…..someone…..”

Beside the arguing Lyle and Moori, which no matter how you saw it, have the ‘newlywed’ kind of atmosphere, Angelica the girl who was accidentally dragged all the way there by Lyle, was still spaced out. It seems being the center of attention in that kind of situation back in the classroom as well as being held strongly by a boy she just met while being dragged by him, has a very strong effect for an ojousama who have no experience being with a boy around her, and still undergoing puberty.

“Even though you said that, but for me it seems to be a useless scrap. When I ask Mirin-sensei for magic affinity test because I’m confident having this superb magic artifact, she just told me ‘Ah, that? No need, no need, because I already got the result from the dean. She told me she already finished your test when you transferred here. Isn’t she a hardworking dean! Hahaha’ te,” Doing a one-man act, he scratches the back of his head and said

“I’m very thankful you go that far for me, but if you have already plan to do that, then there is no need to give me this, right?”

“ehehe is that what she said? Hehe then you should be thankful, very thankful I did that, you know!”

Very pleased with what Lyle said, she was now acting like a spoiled brat ojousama who make an Eiffel tower in just one night and was waiting for praise.

“Ah! I’m very thankful Darling, but because you did that there is now no meaning having these, you know! I couldn’t even use this during classes to skip, sleep, or even escape the strange and suspicious gazes of my classmates, because I’m afraid that someone might discover I have this rare artifact. *sigh* if I can’t use it, then what is the purpose for having this? If you tell me this is just an impromptu wedding ring for now, then I guess I understand”

Lyle once read a book about magic artifacts. like what Mirin-sensei is often used. such as the can be easily obtained because these are just minerals and crystal often found by miners, although they are not just ordinary minerals because they are processed by high level artificers and magicians.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Unlike the like Lyle’s is a rare artifact and are very difficult to obtain. These artifacts can only be found in Labyrinths and dungeons although some dwarfs can also make it, but the dwarves made have less quality than what can be found in the Labyrinths and dungeons. It is said that found in this dangerous and special places are what old gods used in the past. That is why are very precious and very rare things.

Lyle avoids using the ring as to not show it to anyone, because if by chance someone discovers him having such high-grade , it will just raise unnecessary trouble and suspicions.

“We, we, wedding ring!? DON’T TREAT IT AS A WEDDING RING, YOU DAMN BRAT!!! I only gave it to you for emergency situations.”

“Darling, you’re in school you know! *sigh* you should remember you are an academy Dean, so you should minimize your voice. A lady should be elegant”

Lyle complained.

“…….ugh….., I-I know that is why  you should stop calling me in that misleading name!... by the way…”

“What?”

As if she noticed something very, very weird, Moori tilted her head to glance the still dazed and muttering Angelica. Oddly enough she still hasn’t returned to her senses even though Lyle and Moori were having a heated argument.

“He…..Held me….A boy…..touch me….”

“…..What happened to that girl? What did you do?”

“haha Darling, you should not easily blame someone as innocent as me, you know. I also don’t know, she’s been like that for a while”

“Hoi!”

“Kyah!”

He let out a short yell and clapped his hands right in front of the girl’s face. The sound brought angelica back to her senses, and she looked around quickly. Than as soon as she spotted Lyle

“YOU!!! YOU DAMN PERVERT, DIE!!!!” she angrily shouted as tears falling from her eyes.

Zapping sound of bluish-white sparks echoed. Her crimson hair swayed as electric sparks flew from it and shot towards Lyle who was standing beside her.

In that instant, Lyle was hit by it but strangely enough as soon as the electric spark touch his skin it vanished and disappear without leaving ay trace.

‘Electric sparks?”

Once again Angelica was dumbfounded seeing it while Moori just smile.

“You, I knew it, you’re really that boy!” she said with wide-eyes.

“Who are you calling a pervert? That is why there are people who always say ‘youngsters these days’, just holding a girl’s hands can make you a pervert? Yare yare!” he said while shrugging his shoulders.

“…..ibility….” the girl silently muttered while crying.

“Huh?”

He couldn’t make out what she was saying, so he drew closer.

“Take responsibility!” she shouted while crying. “I’m now pregnant *sob* because of you *sob* so take responsibility!”

“”Huuuuuuh!?””

Both Lyle and Moori was dumbfounded! No, completely stunned from Angelica’s sudden words.

Impressively enough, the first to get her senses back was Moori.

“Brat! Better explain it now”

In a very, very, very calm voice and cold as steel, Moori asked.

‘*gulp* Scary!’

The tension in the air in that precise moment was excruciatingly difficult to describe. Angelica was still crying sitting in the floor, while Moori’s extreme gaze bored holes into Lyle’s very being.

As if a husband caught red-handedly doing an affair, Lyle couldn’t help but tremble in fear. For the first time in his current life, Lyle was shedding cold sweats all over his body.

“Darling-san, I’m innocent! Really innocent, okay! So *gulp* can you please spare me with that scary look! Please”

‘SOMEONE, PLEASE SOMEONE CALL MY LAWYER!’ he was shouting and screaming in his mind.

Then he turned around to face the crying girl.

“You, just what do you mean you’re pregnant? I didn’t do anything to you, you know!” he said.

“What do you mean you didn’t do anything? You suddenly held my hand and forcefully dragged me out of that classroom, yet you say you didn’t do anything? Scumbag!” she again shouted, bluish electric spark flying around.

‘Electric spark? Extremely familiar!’

He thought but he set aside that question for now as he was still accused by this girl.

“Then…”

“What do you mean ‘then’?

‘If a boy touched me I would get pregnant so I need to be careful’ my mom always told me when I was a child, so you better take responsibility or die!”

Once again, the two; Lyle and Moori, was dumbstruck.

“Pfft! Aha, ahahahahahahaha seriously? Ahahahahaha!” Lyle couldn’t contain his laughter anymore and laugh. Even Moori was obviously trying to contain her laughter.

“Wha-!? Why are you laughing! I said take responsibility, damn it!”

“A girl shouldn’t talk like tha….. Wait a minute, aaah, you’re that girl from the forest!”

“What? You still didn’t remember me after all this time? No, now is not the time for that! Take responsibility!”

“As I expected, you’re the boy she was talking about who defeated an S-rank titan inside the forest!”

“Yes he was the o…. ehhh? The dean? Why are you here?”

“What? This is my room, you know! You are the ones who are trespassing here.”

“ehhhh! Really? Ah right!” as if she realized she was behaving unsightly, she wipe her tears and reverted to her usual demeanor. “Now Moori-sama, this is the boy that I was talking to, although it felt unbelievable but the report I said is true. He is the proof!”

“I know! Although I apologize for my rude attitude at that time, but it was to conceal that brat beside you, so I have no choice but to do that!”

“Eh? Then….”

“Ah! I believed you!”

“mate mate!” Lyle casually said interrupting the two “Darling, is there no Sex education in this Academy? Look, this poor girl doesn’t know it and held her own outrageous conclusion! You should implement it right away and I won’t mind if I became the teacher though.

Hahaha having the title Sex Ed. Instructor, or Sex instructor for short isn’t so bad Buwahaha”

“As if!”

Looking pitifully towards the girl, Lyle said while laughing although he was quickly rejected. But In that moment, Angelica was the one who was surprised. Not because of what Lyle said, nor because of his expression, it was because of what Lyle called Moori.

“DAAAAAAAAAAAARLING!?”
