I Became the Academy Time Stop Villain - I Became the Academy Time Stop Villain chapter 214

214 – 215. Struggling

“…”

Close your lips tightly.

My eyes are filled with energy.

It looks like it’s about to say something, all the way down to the neck.

‘What are you trying to say?’

You’ll probably be asking if there’s any solution.

Actually, I came up with a plan to some extent.

Right now, I’m doing the same thing that I reached out to earlier.

‘If you use Advent…’

When I used ‘time’, I was able to cross that colorless space.

So, I think it would work out somehow if we use ‘Descent’ to pump ‘time’ and then come out and catch Leah…

…In the end, it was difficult to be confident because it was virtually gambling.

‘But what can we do?’

I can’t make Theia more anxious than this.

I braced myself for what was to come.

Like that

“First—let’s start by eating rice.”

“Yes. I somehow…Yes?”

***************

Half-eaten chicken.

Vegetables you don’t know when you bought them.

Slightly dry carrots.

A soybean paste stuck in a corner.

A radish lying underneath.

Green onion leftover after eating green onion chicken, etc.

In fact, it’s such a mess that it can’t even be called an ingredient.

Rather than making something and eating it, I think it would be better to have it delivered.

However, if you ask someone to give you a refrigerator, the results can be very different.

“Does it fit your mouth?”

“It’s delicious, hyoooh…!”

The taste of home-cooked food that I had eaten for the first time in a long time was surprisingly pleasant to my mouth.

Honestly, if you look at the taste alone, it is nothing compared to chicken or pizza.

Those are things that have been forcibly flavored just to make them edible.

But it still fits my taste. It goes down my throat like a gulp.

‘The quality varies from just one fried egg.’

The subtle taste of soybean paste soup.

The salty yet subtle taste of the side dishes. Savory and spicy taste.

Food that you keep putting in your mouth and it seems like there is no burden on your body.

“I’m glad it suits you. I was a little unsure.”

“It’s really delicious. Really. Seriously.”

What exactly does it mean to not be confident?

If a chick that tackles me appears at this dinner table, I have the heart to shake the thrush off that chick.

“Tia said it was okay, but Ter said it was a little bland to her mouth.”

“…”

He was the one who had already shaken off the thrush.

Anyway, I was full. I was full.

You don’t have to eat only delivered food for a whole month to say that.

If you eat so much chicken that you can feel the smell of chicken poop in your mouth, you’ll probably hit your head and apologize for the savory and beautiful taste of soybean paste soup, right?

I ate the entire bowl and stood up, holding my empty bowl.

“Have you eaten everything?”

“No. “I want to have another bowl.”

“Huh? But why…”

“…?”

If you want to eat more, you have to spread more rice.

I lifted the spatula attached to the side of the electric rice cooker and scooped up a large spoonful of rice.

As I sat down again and picked up my chopsticks to eat, Theia stared at me with curiosity.

“If you had told me, I would have brought it to you…”

“Ask Theia to tell me how far it is.”

The way of the world is for a thirsty person to dig a well and a hungry person to eat.

In the end, after emptying about three bowls on the spot, this crazy binge-eating was over, and Ms. Theia naturally put the dishes away and went to the sink–ah, no. That’s not it!

“I will do it. Wash the dishes.”

“Huh? But—”

“─If you set the table, I have to do the dishes.”

“…”

Normally, I would say let’s play rock, paper, scissors, but I can’t do that with Teia.

After roughly pushing it with my body, I went to the sink and grabbed a scrub brush.

“Hmm.”

Soak it in water, put some detergent on a scrub brush, and wipe it off.

Repeat washing dishes and rinsing them again with water.

The feel of the scrubber I held for the first time in a long time felt a little unfamiliar.

‘If you think about it, during the regression’

I never washed the dishes.

As for rice, it was either cooked at a restaurant or a packed lunch from a convenience store.

Even when I was with my sister, I didn’t really wash the dishes.

From noble mtl dot com

At least before my regression, I think I’ve been washing dishes since Minerva cooked for me──So, it’s really been a while since I’ve washed dishes, right?

“Wow──Chachacha…”

She thought about something else for a moment and almost missed her bowl.

I caught it again, washed it in water and set it aside, and for a moment I made eye contact with Theia.

“…Huh?”

Why am I looking at you so closely?

First of all, since I had to finish washing the dishes the way I did, I lightly shook my hands after I was done.

“Chrono… I think he’ll get a lot of love from his wife later.”

“Suddenly?”

What is it?

Is this an elaborate way of incorporating her relationship with Hestia?

As I was struggling to understand what he meant, Theia leaned back on her sofa and continued.

“I hope our Ter is like Chrono…”

“?”

“That kid, he’s never helped me wash the dishes.”

“Well…Is that usually the case?”

Before I came here too.

It was like that when I was myself.

I did it because I had no choice but to do it when I was living alone, but who washes the dishes with my own hands when I’m at home? In most cases, mom or dad did it.

“You…Actually, it was all cowardice?”

“?”

Narrowed eyes.

I honestly don’t know what you’re misunderstanding.

Theia immediately smiled softly and spoke to me.

“Don’t say it in front of the lady, should she go home and say it to her mom too?”

“Mom…”

Mom, La.

I wouldn’t have known it before I came here.

“Why? Don’t you want to do that?”

“That’s not true, because she doesn’t have a mother.”

“…”

My mother is not here.

“…I’m sorry. The lady made a mistake.”

“It’s okay. Isn’t it funny to say that an orphan has a mother?”

“…”

In the first place, there was no one that could be called a parent.

Because I came from an orphanage.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant…”

“What is there to be sorry about? On the contrary, I am very grateful.”

Thanks to Teia, I was able to eat such delicious food.

“…!”

Eyes with dilated pupils as if surprised.

Did you finally understand what I meant?

I continued.

“I’ve always been convenience store craving boxes, delivery services, etc., So I really missed this type of food.”

“Yeah…Yeah. Yeah. That…Yeah…Yeah.”

“…?”

I keep stuttering while speaking.

Theia lowered her head without saying a word and held her hands tightly.

He was silent, as if he had made a mistake.

‘Did that really hit your heart that much?’

I wondered how good she was, but looking back, I thought she had to be this good.

After all, you have Hestia, who is crispy on the outside but moist on the inside, and the returning protagonist of the second episode, so what kind of mentality can you handle that?

It would be difficult to do unless you are a very noble and pure person.

“I’m really fine, so don’t be like that.”

“…Chrono is a good kid?”

“It’s not really like that…”

What does it feel like as misunderstandings pile up?

I cleared my throat slightly and told Theia about my future plans

“First, let me talk about escaping. Didn’t I tell you earlier that we were trapped?”

“Yes, right?”

“I think there must be a way out.”

“…”

Be silent without saying a word.

Eyes that only listen to what I say.

I told you about my simple and ignorant ways.

“I’ll go outside and take care of it.”

“…Going outside?”

“Just in case, am I not the real criminal?”

“I believe that.”

“…”

Oh wow.

“…How can you think that a child who works so hard is lying?”

“Well… Thank you for looking at it that way.”

I’m a little embarrassed.

It feels strangely tickling at the tip of my nose.

Phew! Great, anyway!

“I will definitely send Theia back.”

After a long time, I took out my weapons.

Squitte. And agape.

The two weapons that I had held for the first time in a long time came into my hands with a strange resonance sound.

‘…I should do it, right?’

It has to be done.

I don’t know what will happen, but I had to do something.

“I’ll come back.”

I opened the door and stepped on the threshold.

You can feel the passage of time right in front of your nose.

In order to break through that front, I pledge my resolve for the unknown that lies ahead.

“Okay…Don’t push yourself too hard!”

“…”

Don’t overdo it.

That was an unreasonable statement.

Still…

“Mr. Teia.”

“Huh?”

Let’s promise this one thing.

“I will definitely send you Teia.”

“…! Sleep──”

“──Advent”

[Apostle of Kronos]

…

..

.

“I said wait…”

Went.

Gone.

He left without saying that he would send it back.

‘…It’ll be okay, right?’

It’ll be okay.

It will be okay.

You saw it right away when you were dealing with Ter, right?

A child who freely uses lightning.

The way he easily subdued such a child as if he were a small child clearly showed that he had a power that could not be ignored.

There is power. There is talent. In addition, efforts are being made.

I couldn’t imagine that a child like that would be weak to Chrono.

“…Shh.”

To be precise, it was a condition that should not have been imagined.

Chrono will be strong. Be strong enough to solve this case.

That is not the ‘only’ condition for one to go outside.

“It must be Tia…”

This world was created for only one purpose.

Chrono. A place where I can escape if I sacrifice my body to that child.

I definitely remember Hestia saying that.

‘…If I could end it by supporting just my body.’

Wouldn’t it have been easier to pay the price early and get out?

“…What?!”

Wow! I spread out my hands and tapped my cheek.

Are you crazy? How can you think like that?

Aren’t you sorry for the person you left behind?

“…”

But

Still, I ended up in ‘this situation’.

Because it is an unavoidable situation.

So, wouldn’t that person also forgive me?

“…”

But

No matter what, it’s already been promised.

You can’t break what you’ve already promised yourself, what you’ve promised your whole life…

“…”

But

But

But

Nevertheless

“…Ugh…Ahh…!”

The ‘but’ that keeps piling up in my mind.

The more it piles up, the more stuffy my heart becomes.

Something isn’t clear. I just got frustrated, frustrated to no end.

“…Chrono.”

In the end, all you can do is put your hands together and pray.

And the end of such prayer is

“───Wow!”

“Chrono…?”

Chrono was covered in blood and collapsed

“Get pregnant. If so, I will release you.”

“…”

It was an inevitable ‘future’.
