How To Tame an Academy Dragon - How To Tame an Academy Dragon chapter 68
68. Our staff asks
The number of students stopping by the stationery started to increase as the end of the vacation approached.
This is because the number of students who returned to the dormitory increased in advance, and thanks to this, sales returned to the black. The stress level of the Doha Prius also turned to black.
The positive thing was that small changes began to occur in the Doha Prius, which used to live on its own. For example.
The first is that they no longer kick out customers.
I bought a simple lunch box for a late lunch, and found students huddled together at an outdoor table at the entrance of the stationery store.
It was a group of about 4 female students, but strangely, the Doha Prius was also a part of it.
“Doha~ How about this, this?”
“No, if it unfolds like that…”
The face of a Doha Prius staring at a notebook, lost in the middle of a group of passionately debating students.
I was curious about the notebooks and papers piled up on the table, but since I didn’t know what kind of disaster would happen if I accidentally got caught in Girls Talk, I decided to pass them by.
Doha I was so engrossed in my notebook that I didn’t even know I was coming. As I was about to pass the Prius, several female students raised their heads.
“Uh. Ah, mister!”
A short-haired female student greets with an awkward smile and other students hide their notebooks in amazement.
These actions looked suspicious at first glance, but I had an intuition that they were like beehives to touch.
“Uh uh. Yes, yes. Have fun.”
Even if I hint at greetings, the Doha Prius, engrossed in a notebook, doesn’t seem to want to look this way at all.
Why are you looking at me like you’re falling for me?
I tried to tilt my head slightly to see the end of the contents, but the female students laughed and leaned at the same time to block my gaze.
That’s it. It’s unsightly to pay too much attention to children’s pranks at this age.
“Doha-nim. There is rice, so please take care of it.”
She doesn’t answer when I call.
“Oh… If you’re hungry after this, hand it over.”
“Yes. We’ll take care of it.”
In the end, I gave up handing it myself and handed the lunch box to the short-haired student and decided to eat lunch alone.
As soon as I turned around, I shook my head as I saw them starting to chatter while looking at me with a lower voice than before.
***
“Kuh, keuh! Bar, have you eaten?”
Doha A Prius sneaks into the store, coughing.
There were several notebooks in her arms, and I could see one of the notebooks she was holding earlier.
“Yes. I did. About three hours ago.”
Did the female students go back? It’s quiet
There are no students following her into the store.
“I didn’t know Doha was so close with the kids.”
“Well then~ How much do I like kids?”
One side of the corner of the mouth that was forcibly raised and the corner of the eye trembling softly. The twisted smile of the Doha Prius is very burdensome.
Isn’t it yesterday that I shouted to the kids I liked so much to shut up and get out?
“Yes, what… Did you eat the lunch box?”
“Uh, uh.”
“Did you clean up after yourself? You spilled food on the table and the other day…”
A while ago, I brought pasta from the store next door and ate it, and then I spilled it all, so I had a hard time wiping it off.
“I did! Yes I did, the kids…”
“Anyway.”
I passed it on to the kids again.
The Doha Prius avoids looking away while blowing a whistle that doesn’t even come out. When the hell will that lizard grow up to become a dragon?
“There’s nothing on the shelf~ Oh, there it is. I’ll do it.”
Doha The Prius hid the notebook behind its back, then crawled past me and into the storage room.
She then sticks out her face a little and looks at me and she disappears like a turtle. At the same time, the warehouse door closed.
What are you really trying to do?
“Don’t talk, don’t talk.”
The Doha Prius, which entered the warehouse, had changed slightly when it came out.
It’s not that it’s changed drastically, it’s that all the notebooks I’ve been carrying are gone… Maybe they’re hidden somewhere in the warehouse.
Still, as if it wasn’t just an excuse, they seem to be bringing out items to put on the shelves.
“Get out of the way, dude.”
Perhaps she had been meditating in the warehouse, she returned to her usual self and kicked me out with familiar harsh words.
“Really.”
“What?”
Cak! Doha Prius glares at me while making a noise.
If it was really meant to scare you, it didn’t work. Because she weakly bit her lower lip was unnecessarily cute.
I sit on a counter chair and watch the Doha Prius diligently work with my chin on my chin.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s been nagging me all summer vacation, or if she’s finally adjusted and decided to do her job properly, but she moves with familiar body movements.
“Oops…”
Doha The Prius rummaged through the pocket of his apron and took out a string from him.
Reaching her hand behind her back, she gathered her strands of her hair together and skillfully tied her hair with her braid.
Her hair is much longer than when she first started working, and her hair, which used to stand stiff like a broomstick, now hangs down.
Maybe that’s why I feel more feminine and softer than before.
“Good.”
The Doha Prius, with his hair that kept falling down and blocking his view, started working again muttering to himself.
It seems like the other day that you were complaining about not wanting to work… You’ve really improved a lot.
“That’s nice.”
“Huh? What?”
“No. I was talking nonsense.”
I almost got into trouble because my inner feelings came out unintentionally.
“Fresh bastard.”
Doha The Prius grinned without probing further and went back to work.
A part-timer who works hard with the boss who sits at the counter and hangs out. This is the real taste of capitalism.
“Ah. Set aside some time this weekend. I have somewhere to go.”
“The business.”
A casual suggestion to close the store, no, it’s an order.
“Ah… You can live on even if you don’t earn a day!”
“Shouldn’t Doha say that?”
When I showed the obvious fact to the Doha Prius, she glared at me with thin eyes.
“Ah, talking back is not easy. If you just say yes, I get it, where is it?”
“Yes, I understand~”
“…”
The Doha Prius glared at me and swallowed something.
“After. I endured it well.”
She patted her stomach and nodded her head.
“What did you eat?”
Anyway, it must have been a few words of cursing or shouting.
“Breath.”
Throwing out a word, she patted her stomach. I burped a little bit in the middle, but it seems like white smoke leaked out… I must have looked at it wrong, right?
***
Doha As ordered by the Prius, I was able to take a day off on Sunday, so I enjoyed my long-awaited holiday.
I was having a very happy dream before the Doha Prius popped out of my dream and dragged me to a death match with chocolate conch bread as a prize.
“To torment even your dreams. That’s my specialty…”
Of course, I’ve never used it properly.
I barely turn my head to check the clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand points to 12 o’clock.
Since I woke up briefly in the morning, cleaned up the items I ordered, and went to sleep again, I think I slept for another 5 hours.
“Ugh~ It’s dead!”
I feel like I don’t want to do anything because I haven’t felt refreshed even though I’ve slept for the first time in a while.
I want to go back to sleep like this, but…
“It’s about time.”
He said he would come around 1 o’clock, so let’s prepare for the dragon that will appear soon.
After barely getting out of bed and getting ready to leave, I came down to the first floor and ran into the Doha Prius, which was sitting on a table spread out at the entrance, shaking its legs.
“You’re here early.”
“You came out late.”
Am I late? I came out after seeing that there were still 10 minutes left until the appointment time?
“No, when did you come?”
“I don’t know? Has it been half an hour?”
“Why so early…?”
Doha The Prius didn’t answer my last question. Instead, he got up from his chair, yawned, and walked away without saying a word.
“So where are you going? You have to tell me.”
“Above Sellus.”
Sellus? Why go there
I wanted to drag you to a troublesome place, but why are you going to Sellus Co. Out of the blue?
A secret discourse between Sellus and Doha Prius that suddenly comes to mind. It reminds me of the two of them talking through the door.
Are you going to vent your anger because Sellus made a mistake then?
“Couldn’t Mr. Sellus have done anything wrong? No violence?”
To my concern, the Doha Prius sighed and turned around.
“Hey. I’m not some kind of market thug.”
“Not a mayor, but a thug…”
A light flashed before my eyes. Strong pressure rising from the stomach. Both knees hit the ground naturally.
“Keep…”
“I earn a hawk.”
Involuntarily, I wrapped my arms around my stomach due to the tingling pain that came one beat slowly.
I’ve been missing out on it for a while, but it’s still spicy lizard punch.
“Stop talking nonsense and follow me dude. Algan?”
“Yes…”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been messing around, so I can’t get used to it.
It is said that the fist is closer than the law, and with a mysterious experience that the playfulness disappears with one fist, the Doha Prius and I arrived at the Sellus store.
“Now, please wait!!”
Guards rushing inside. It wasn’t long before he stumbled upon a rock and fell down, but jumped up like a ttogi and ran again.
“It must hurt. Just be careful.”
Doha The Prius looked at me with a frown.
“That’s right. Be careful.”
“Why are you looking at me?”
Doha After being questioned by the Prius several times, the guards came back, and just like last time, the Sellus family’s servants jumped out and rolled out the red carpet.
“Please eat.”
“Thank you.”
As the old butler who assists Sellus leans down, the Doha Prius pats him on the shoulder and passes by.
Her Following her, we headed straight to her office and entered Sellus’ office that was wide open.
But where did Sellus go and only the empty office greeted us, the Doha Prius casually tucked a cookie on the table into its mouth and lay down on the leather sofa.
First of all, I sat across from the Doha Prius.
“So why did you come to Sellus?”
“Oh well, wait. Here he comes.”
Doha When I turned around at the chin of the Prius, I saw Sellus running towards me with a box.
“Do, Doha! You made a surprise visit today, so I’m really…”
Sellus gasped into the office and set his box down on the floor.
“Come when it’s convenient for you.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
A Doha Prius shamelessly shoving a cookie into his mouth while lying down.
Sellus also shut her mouth, as if he couldn’t come up with anything else to say.
“First of all, this is what you asked for earlier.”
“Oh, you mean this box?”
The Doha Prius, which had been lying down, sat up.
Sellus placed the box in front of the Doha Prius, who roughly brushed off the crumbs from his fingers onto his clothes, and the Doha Prius put his hand on the box.
“Come on.”
Doha The Prius looked at me and knocked on the box.
“What is it?”
Three-stripe slippers should come in on their own, and after that I haven’t left anything else, so why is it a box?
I looked at Sellus for something, but he wasn’t even looking at me.
Doha The Prius is also laughing but not talking, so it can’t be done. You just have to check it yourself.
Doha Prius smiling meaningfully is a little unsettling, but there is no way.
Reaching out his hand, he pulled the box in front of me, grabbed the lid, and pushed it open with a click.
“Eh.”
What was visible under the open lid was something like finely folded clothes.
“Take it out.”
The Doha Prius urged me to stay still while I was trying to figure out the situation.
Unable to defeat her torch, I picked up what was inside.
The first thing I felt was the soft touch. It felt good just by touching it, probably because it was made of good quality fabric.
What is this?
After lifting the folded clothes, shake them off and unfold them.
It had a length that fell roughly from the chest to the thigh, but the shape was very familiar.
A long strap on both sides and a moderately wide strap on the neck.
“What is it? It’s an apron.”
An apron with a beige base color.
There are several points, but the one that catches the eye the most is the devil character with a savage expression stuck in the center.
At least it looks better because the lines are written round and round.
“What the hell is this?”
I took the apron and showed it to the Doha Prius, who giggled to see if he liked my reaction.
“You fooled around with me too. I played around with you too. Do you like it?”
“I like it and sleep…”
It’s a problem because I’m just getting a little spoiled. I don’t know if a guest will cry when he sees it, but this.
“This is my gift, so keep it carefully.”
“Is this a gift?”
“Then isn’t that a gift you gave me?”
It’s tingling, and the skin around the eyes of the Doha Prius tingles as if electricity had been applied to it.
“No yes. What… I’ll use it… Well?”
I can’t wear it, so I fold it up and hide it in my bosom.
Doha Prius is still smiling as if he had no intention of forcing him to wear it.
“Yeah. But it’s made better than I thought. Is it Sellus?”
“That’s too much praise.”
Doha Prius, who praised Sellus, got up from his seat as if he had no more business to do.
It might be a little ugly to wake up and grab some cookies.
“Ask this guy for the price.”
With a cookie in his mouth, the Doha Prius proudly tells me to pay the balance.
She stared at her dumbfounded and the Doha Prius opened her mouth again, clicking her tongue.
“Hey hey. Straighten your face dude. It’s a joke. It’s not funny, you bastard.”
“I was worried because Doha wouldn’t be joking if he did that.”
“What dude?”
Doha The Prius raised his fist, glanced at Sellus, and slowly lowered his fist again.
“Thank you. I’ll write well. Oh, of course, this guy, not me.”
“Yes yes. Thank you.”
***
We received an excessive send-off from Sellus and were able to return quickly as we were supported by a wagon on the way back.
“So this is what I was going to do today?”
Ask the Doha Prius, which stretches as soon as it gets off the wagon.
Did you really drag me on a holiday to give me an apron as a gift?
“Yes.”
I feel sad for her cool answer. Thought she might have something more.
Why am I expecting this?
“Hey.”
“Why?”
A strange feeling.
“The vacation is over soon, so can’t I work part-time even after it’s over?”
Doha I looked at her face at the words of the Prius.
A serious face with no sign of laughter or playfulness. Do you really want to do more?
“…You have to go to school. You’re busy studying and you won’t have time.”
Yes. I wanted to answer, but my reason, which spun faster than that, gave me the right answer.
“Isn’t that right?”
She listened to me too and shrugged her shoulders.
“I can’t help it.”
Doha The Prius scratched his head a few times and looked at me with a smile.
“No, I like it because I make money while playing. I didn’t mean anything strange.”
“So please don’t say that yourself.”
I couldn’t help but laugh while talking. The Doha Prius also giggled and smiled, but as I kept looking at it, he felt strangely burdened and averted his gaze.
“See you tomorrow.
“Yes, yes. Don’t worry and go in.”
“Uh. Let’s go.”
Doha Prius turns around waving his hand without hesitation. It was a cool attitude without the slightest hesitation, befitting her always neat and tidy attitude.
A Doha Prius returns to the academy with his hands in his pockets.
Her hair, still tied in a ponytail, flutters lightly.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her from the back of her Doha Prius, and I just stared at her indifferently.
