I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years - I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years chapter 421

Afterword – Footsteps (5)

“It looks like they really have set up shop in the dungeon.”

Bear fur scattered around the dungeon entrance.

Bear footprints filled the floor.

There were many traces left around the dungeon that showed that the bears had declared this as their new territory. If it were an ordinary person, the moment they saw these traces, they would have immediately turned and fled.

But I am different.

Why am I running away?

Even if you run away, you should run away.

“I guess there are bears living here!”

“Contractor, I want to see a bear!”

“Even though it’s a bear, it’s just a rather large animal.”

And this isn’t a zoo. The bears are spying on us right now. I was not a hunter who came to eat bear snails to replenish my energy, so there was no reason to bother the bears.

So, you should pass by in moderation.

“John! Look over there! It’s a baby bear!”

“Oh my, that’s cute…”

Did you miss the opportunity to hide while playing outside? We watched a baby bear sticking its head out from the grass and looking at us. The baby bear had just been born, and he waddled away from us.

“You look so cute, but it’s amazing how big you get as you get older…”

“All living things have a childhood.”

What why what.

Why is everyone looking at me?

“I think John must have been scary even when he was young!”

“…I can’t deny it.”

Why are you doing this to me?

“I don’t know why I say this, but even now it’s a bit hard to call him handsome… Right?”

Lennie scratched his cheek and avoided my gaze.

“If it’s just me, then-“

“Uh…Uncle…Um…Sorry.”

“John, I don’t think that’s right.”

Why are you doing this to me?

“But to me, there’s no one more handsome than Yohan?”

Karina offered words of comfort that warmed her heart. After all, a person has to have a big heart to have a kind heart.

“Hehe, Johan! That’s why I like Yohan! “Looks aren’t important!”

After saying that, Millia pulled out her own hair and kissed my cheek. Her other wives also seemed a little embarrassed and made light gestures toward me.

“Chu?”

“Ah, it’s the kid who came to the mansion!”

“…I said it before, but you can’t raise it.”

The mother bear behind you is also looking at her cub with anxious eyes. Right now, the mother bear is probably conflicted about whether or not she should go pick up her child.

I said, deliberately turning my back.

“Now I will go east.”

Stop looking at the bears and go see the snakes. I held Milia’s regretful hand and went on her way.

——————

“But it’s gotten better as time has passed.”

No matter how powerful a poison is, it has no business against the passage of time.

I looked around the snakes’ territory, which had become quite deserted, to see if there was a hydra. First of all, it’s not visible to the naked eye, but looking at the skin, it looks like there are some baby snakes.

Should I kill him in advance?

No, it might be better to just leave it alone. Because we need people to eat the rabbits that are multiplying so profusely. Bears alone will not be able to prevent the explosive increase in rabbits.

“It’s just wilderness here…”

“This is bound to happen since it was once a place that was devastated.”

“Destroyed Earth?”

“What happened here?”

“It’s quite long, so to speak… “

As I walked down the street, I told him about the bloody battle with Hydra three years ago, with a little spice. From inducing zombies to terrorize the place where Hydras live, to the decisive battle with Hydra.

“It was amazing… “

“Lenny had a hard time.”

We fought not long after waking up from the hospital, so we had a lot of trouble.

“Uncle, can I go to the place where the Hydra corpse is?”

“Hmm…If you want to see it. “Let’s have a quick meal first.”

We turned and headed towards the Hydra’s corpse. The hydra’s body was located quite far away, so we sat down in an appropriate open space and laid out the food we had brought.

“Eating in such a beautiful place makes me feel like I’ve gone for a walk.”

“In reality, it’s no different from taking a walk, isn’t it? “I put a lot of thought into my decision, so I hope you enjoy it.”

“Anyway, anywhere is fine as long as Johan is there…”

After saying that, Milia sat down between my legs and looked up at me. She doesn’t know if this is her wife or daughter.

I don’t know if she did it on purpose, but Millia smiled brightly and placed her sandwich in my mouth. Hmm, it tastes good. It would be difficult to make a sandwich tasteless.

“By the way, you’ve been living in a place like this for 10 years… “

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hehe, but I think you were able to meet us like this because you went through such hardships.”

Karina smiled brightly and held my hand. The soft, warm warmth of her palm tickled my palm of her.

I guess so.

If you think about it, as Karina said, if she’t had the survival skills she hadn’t honed for 10 years, she might not have reached this conclusion.

If I think about it that way, my life on a desert island wouldn’t have been in vain.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you too. No matter what, Yohan saved me many times. “If it weren’t for John, it would probably be by now…”

“Me too!” Thank you too!”

“…If you think about it, aren’t everyone here saved by Johan at least once?”

…Hmm.

I turned my head and looked at Sif, who was avoiding my gaze. Seeing you break out in a cold sweat must be a reminder of something from the past.

As I turned my gaze to Sif, the other wives also began to look at Sif.

“Huh?”

“Why is Sif like that?”

“Now that I think about it, Miss Sif is the only one of us who has never heard of how she met John.”

As Karina gave her luck, her wives looked at Sif with curious eyes. Sif is desperately avoiding gaze, but she can’t escape.

Sif flapping his ears frantically and hesitantly opened his mouth.

“Strength…”

“Yes?”

“It started when I got caught while robbing.”

“…”

“It was a needlessly intense first meeting.”

“John, I don’t understand. How do you meet as a robber and become lovers?”

“Well, I thought we were friends exploring dungeons together…”

“I picked it up because it looked useful.”

Well, things like that happen in life.

Because there are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies.

Like an observer who is probably running around on Quartz Street right now. You’ve been having fun eating these days, but I wonder if you’re whining again.

Next time Quartz visits, I’ll bring earplugs and cover my ears.

“There was an unexpected behind-the-scenes secret.”

“You tried to kill me because you were on drugs.”

“…It was force majeure.”

“That was a powerful first meeting.”

In fact, I doubt there would be a first meeting here that wasn’t intense. I looked at Elisha sitting next to me and said.

“When you first met…”

“Ha, hawawawa!”

“What did Elisha say again to make you react like that? Uncle, what did Elisha say?”

“Monster.”

“Ah.”

“I heard it from the side too!”

Elisa added in a lively tone, as if she was proud. If you think about it, it was like that. This is what happened to her when she went to eat with Millia at a restaurant.

“Well, then what about the viola?”

“Ah…”

Viola groaned and scratched her cheek as if she was feeling uncomfortable.

“I…Um. If you think about it, the first time I saw a glimpse of Elisa was when she saved me, and the next time I saw her…”

“If it’s hard to say, you don’t have to say it.”

The first meeting suddenly turned into a place for gossip, but there’s no need to talk about it if you don’t want to. Because my first meeting with Viola could have brought back bad memories.

Viola must have been aware of that fact, as she touched the prosthetic arm that was now indistinguishable from a human arm and opened her mouth.

“Well, it was you who cut off this arm… I think that was the first time she saw it.”

“Ah… “I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry!”

“I’m sorry about that situation.”

“No, no. Don’t apologize. More than that, Millia! “I’m most curious about how you first met Millia?”

Viola turned her target to Milia. It would be better for me to talk about this. I stroked Milia’s cheek and satisfied Viola’s curiosity.

“Dig out from the dungeon wall.”

“Huh?”

“It’s surprisingly true.”

“That’s right! “I was watching them, but they suddenly dug them up and took them away!”

As Karina’s testimony from Milia was added, her group looked at Milia with curiosity.

“It’s a very powerful first meeting… I feel like I’ve been defeated…”

“There’s no need to feel competitive about something like that, right?”

They say this is a big deal.

I spoke to my disorganized wives.

“How I met them are now my precious wives. So, I think it would be better to not worry about the past and talk about the future. For example… “

I slowly stroked Milia’s stomach. My stomach protrudes a little compared to when I first started my honeymoon. I continued her words, recalling the image of the baby gradually taking shape in Milia’s stomach.

“…A name to give to our children.”

The past is the past.

The present is the present.

I looked at the smiles on my wives’ lips and smiled at them.
