(EP-139.2) Professor #2
139 – Fairy Professor #2
When I woke up the next morning, Stella was nowhere to be seen.
“Hold up, what!?”
There was a note placed on the desk, and as I checked it, the thing simply said「Morning.」
As I removed the napkin cover, I saw a plate with eggs and sausages.
Did she prepare breakfast for ?
Even the ssy room was tidied up.
“How amusing…”
I guessed she still had so manners.
Seukseuk.
After washing my body and changing clothes, I went outside. The feel of the Angmar robe fitting to my body was pretty good.
Upon exiting the「Love Hall」, I saw a familiar face waiting for . Her silver hair, under the parasol, was shining brightly in the sunlight.
“Miss Mirna.”
“I heard sothing happened at your dorm last night? People said that Professor Stella scread and made a fuss in your room.”
“…….”
Had rumors already spread?
“Where did you hear that?”
“It’s the talk all over the place. Is this true? Why was Professor Stella in your room, Theo Gospel?”
It seed like Mirna was suspicious of an extramarital affair.
If a man and woman caused a scene late in the evening, it was certainly not strange to hear rumors about it the next morning. It was also understandable that people who heard it would think, ‘What were they doing?’
Who would believe that the commotion was because of Professor Stella getting caught trying to steal hair from my room?
I didn’t know how to explain this.
What happened last night with Stella Belhawk was supposed to be kept secret. So, while I was contemplating on what to say, Mirna added.
“Why can’t you say anything? What did you two do!?”
“No, Mirna-nim. Wait a minute.”
“Theo, where’s your room?”
Mirna strode forward to my room and quickly began inspecting it.
Then she found purple hair lying on my bed, showed it to and questioned.
“Her hair is on your bed… What’s the story behind this!?”
Well, she slept here, that was why there might be hair on the pillow and bed. But would Mirna believe if I said, ‘She just slept, then left.’
Seureuk-.
Mirna soon found the note and the empty plate on my desk.
“Did Professor Stella also prepare breakfast for you?”
“Um, that’s-.”
Before I had ti to explain, Mirna slipped past , looked around, and then pulled sothing out of the trash can in my room.
It was a long, stretched-out object that looked like snake skin. It was none other than a woman’s stocking.
“What is this?”
Mina held onto one end with her index and thumb, wrinkling her forehead as if it were sothing filthy.
I was equally taken aback.
“… Why is that there?”
Did Professor Stella just leave her stockings in my room? I had no idea since I didn’t check the trash can this morning.
“… Theo Gospel, you’d better choose your words carefully from now on.”
Chwak- Mirna folded her fan and pointed at my chin.
Though it was just a fan, it felt as intimidating as a sword. In fact, Mirna could probably slit my throat with it.
But if I simply let myself get one-sidedly driven into a corner, then I should just stop thinking of reviving the family.
I decided to make a move.
“Miss Mirna, I understand that you have suspicions. But it would be best for you to calm down first. Let explain everything-.”
“Suspicions!? With such clear evidence!? And I’m very calm right now! Shall I show you what happens if I’m not calm?”
Seureureu.
Mirna’s eyes slightly trembled.
I could feel a chill run down my spine. However, I couldn’t back down from Mirna’s intimidation.
As soone whose goal was to beco King and have a harem, there was nothing more disqualifying than cowering before a woman’s threat.
“Euheum.”
Clearing my throat, I loudly said.
“So, Mirna-nim only trusts this much. This is truly saddening…”
“What are you saying?”
“If Mirna-nim thinks everything is suspicious, what do you think is going to happen?”
“…….”
I didn’t say any more, but I could see Mirna’s attitude softening a bit. Even the fan that was pressed against my throat slightly lost so of its strength.
Seureuk-.
She was probably confused in her mind, probably thinking, “Why is this guy so confident? Did nothing really happen?”
“Don’t lie to !”
But she soon grew angrier, seemingly to have thought that it was all a lie.
“Tell the truth, right now!”
To appease Mirna’s anger, I had no choice but to reveal the truth. I had intended to keep it a secret to protect Professor Stella’s honor.
But since I was in imdiate danger, I had no choice but to spill the beans.
So I told her what I knew.
I explained everything, that I caught a drunk Professor Stella sneaking into my room to collect a strand of my hair for her research, including the request for secrecy.
I couldn’t say for Elga, but I was innocent when it ca to Professor Stella.
For now… At least.
“I broke my promise with Professor Stella to prove my innocence. If you don’t believe , you can ask the Professor herself.”
Even with my sincere explanation, Mirna remained sceptical. In the end, I was forced to take her to Professor Stella’s lab to verify the truth.
Professor Stella didn’t like the fact, but I had no choice.
“I told you to keep it a secret. How can you say that?”
“Professor, I sincerely apologize. But I am indebted to the Draco Family as well. I cannot reject Miss Mirna’s interrogation.”
As I slowly shook my head, Mirna, who was listening next to , asked as if embarrassed.
“… So, you an that nothing really happened?”
I replied with a sense of innocence and purity.
“Didn’t I already tell you before? Mirna-nim did not trust that much, rather….”
I acted as if I was going to say sothing, but then shut my mouth at the end. I thought that if I said more, Professor Stella might notice the relationship between and Mirna.
However, Mirna seed to get impatient at the cut-off in my words.
“Rather, what?”
Mina looked extrely anxious. To the extent that tears were welling up in her eyes.
Suddenly, the choker in my pocket felt unusually large and prominent.
