Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me - Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me chapter 56

56 – Stray Cat (1)

Other times, Guinness might not have found it strange to visit Professor Winston’s office.

Other times here are during the day on weekdays or right after class ends.

It’s not at all awkward for a student to visit a professor’s office, but there is a certain degree of that.

It was a little hard to understand that a student came to the professor’s office at this hour, which had passed the evening and was now approaching night.

“Deneb, did you just leave Professor Winston’s office?”

By the way, it seemed like I wasn’t the only one who thought this way.

Guinness wasn’t the only one who came to see the professor in the middle of the night.

If I had to question it, I might look more strange than Guinness, who just popped out of the office at night.

‘I feel unfair… !’

But, at least from Guinness’s point of view, that might be the case.

In the first place, I didn’t visit the professor’s office in the middle of the night.

I stopped by at the right time, but Professor Winston was a little too talkative, so I ended up late.

Originally, as I expected, I should have already received the gift and went back to the dormitory and lay down on the bed.

However, Professor Winston’s love of magic engineering, more specifically, his love of magic swords and his speeches ate up my time.

“Yes. The professor is still inside, are you here to see him too?”

“Huh? Me, i…….”

Fortunately, I didn’t really care if I looked weird now.

It’s not like there’s anything I’m nervous about in the first place.

Anyway, since it was a gift secretly received by others, it wasn’t something to talk about openly.

However, it was still questionable why Guinness had come here at this time.

“There is a professor inside?”

“Yes. I have something else to say, so I just left.”

“That’s why you haven’t left work yet. Aha… ….”

I looked at the Guinness in disbelief.

I didn’t like the hesitant attitude.

If you’re going to go in, if you’re going to go in, what are you doing here?

“Shall I tell you that you are here?”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah, didn’t you come to visit the professor too?”

“Well, um… Well yes and no… It’s too late now, so I’ll have to come back next time….”

The response of Guinness became more and more strange.

It was clear that they had come to Professor Winston’s office to have come to this corner in the first place.

If you didn’t come in front of me because you were worried that it would be late and you’d be rude, then it’s normal to not even start at all and decide to stop by tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, you may have changed your mind while coming, saying that the time to enter and exit the bathroom is different, but…….

‘Are you in an inappropriate relationship?’

Something looked suspicious, so I let my imagination run wild.

But the things that come to mind right now are just hypotheses without evidence.

As I am not an innocent child, but an adult who knows everything about the world, I knew what often happens between a middle-aged male professor and a young female student…… Anyway, there’s not too much evidence for this.

There were a lot of suspicious parts for me to interfere with the pre-arranged meeting of the two.

‘In the first place, if these two were going to meet today, Professor Winston wouldn’t have held onto me and talked about magic engineering for a long time.’

If I hadn’t shown any sign of going out as the time for the meeting drew near, Professor Winston would have preferred to expel me sooner rather than later.

But the reality was different. Even if I tried to finish it quickly, Professor Winston dragged on and tried to teach me a little more diverse knowledge about magic engineering.

At least Professor Winston didn’t seem to think that anyone other than me would stop by his office.

No, maybe there really wasn’t a single student besides me…….

“But what is that on your waist? It’s the first sword I’ve ever seen.”

“Ah, I got it from Professor Winston… ….”

Guinness quickly turned around and pointed at the Greedy Sword.

I explained everything as it was, and, as expected, Guinness wasn’t dissatisfied.

“Wow, that’s good! At that time, I thought it was a bit too much that you failed to receive the prize even though you got it right.”

On the contrary, he generously congratulated me on the fact that I had acquired a new sword.

I was able to reaffirm her character in the honest response of admiration with no acting at all.

However, it was also true that doubts still lingered in the back of my mind.

What is the reason Guinness is looking for Professor Winston at this time, and why is he hiding it?

As Guinness naturally turned her feet back and headed towards the dormitory building, she was puzzled by it.

– ‘You haven’t left work yet, aha… ….’

Then, just before stepping into her dormitory building and bidding her farewell, she remembered the sentence she had uttered.

If you think about it, it was.

Guinness looked surprised just because I had jumped out of Professor Winston’s room, but she was actually more focused on another point and vomited embarrassment and regret.

It was that Professor Winston hadn’t been off work by this time.

‘Maybe… ….’

Maybe Guinness wasn’t really looking for Professor Winston.

If she had come to see Professor Winston, she would have been glad that he had not left work yet.

But when Guinness heard that Professor Winston hadn’t been home from work, she let out an exclamation of regret.

In other words, she wasn’t looking for Professor Winston…….

‘I think he came to Professor Winston’s office.’

Looking for Professor Winston and finding Professor Winston’s office.

The two actions look similar, but there is a strange difference in their meaning.

However, if you go one step further, it will not be a strange difference, but a definite difference.

‘If only I had visited Professor Winston’s office, where Professor Winston was not present.’

…… Why is Professor Winston doing this to Guinness in a suspicious situation?

I pressed my throbbing forehead.

“Thank you for taking me there, Deneb.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

But I decided not to ask.

Anyway, it’s a personal matter, and there were too many bigger problems for me to intervene.

While Charlotte’s identity and Lee’s whereabouts are unknown, even Guinness?

I knew in my head that if more things happened here, two bodies would not be enough.

“Heeep!”

But the moment she raised her hand to say goodbye, Guinness hiccupped and sat down.

It looked like a squirrel cowering in fear.

‘By the way, why is he suddenly like this again?’

All I did was raise my outstretched hand to say hello.

Other than that, I didn’t do anything really special.

I looked around the year after year, but there was no strange existence.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Did you even see a ghost?”

“Huh? No, no. It’s not like that…….”

“Is something wrong? I don’t know if it will help, but once…….”

My head tells me not to intervene, but my mouth moves on its own.

Guinness looked up at me sadly and snorted.

Judging by the look in his eyes, he seemed completely unwilling to answer me.

“Because it’s not really like that. Thanks for your concern, but it’s just because I saw a big bug.”

Of course, there were not even a single ant baby bug nearby.

“I see.”

…… Also, something suspicious.

And I guess I’m one of those people who can’t let this happen.

***

The next day, after the special class, I was called to Elfin’s office.

“It seems like I often stop by the professors’ offices these days.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh? Have you been to other professors’ offices besides me?”

“Recently once… ….”

Elphin’s eyes became ferocious.

I unconsciously placed my hand on the handle of the Greed Sword and added the words.

“Professor Winston, middle-aged male professor in charge of magic engineering. I also got this sword from him.”

“Aha, middle-aged male professor. I’m glad.”

“…… What are you happy about?”

Elfin smiled and served the tea.

“There is such a thing. Whoops, but wait a minute. Isn’t that Professor Winston?”

“Right. The one who told Justina the other day that he was suspicious.”

“Hmm, it must have been dangerous, but I managed to go to that office by myself.”

“I am a little brave.”

Badly, the corner of the office desk that Elfin was holding was slightly shattered.

“It’s not a compliment… Master… ?”

“… ….”

“You don’t know what could have happened if you got it wrong, man?! When you do something like that, you should talk about it and leave!”

“No, nothing happened as a result. Even got a sword This is pretty good.”

Elfin touched her forehead and let out a sigh.

“Anyway, people are still kids… Anyway, do you know why I called?”

“Well, housewarming?”

“What a housewarming! It’s already been two weeks since you’ve been here?”

I sipped the tea Elfin brewed and looked around the office.

Certainly, the atmosphere was very different from Professor Winston’s office.

Still, the room was large and decorated a lot, probably because he was a guest professor from the imperial family in his own way.

Of course, due to Elfin’s dislike of cumbersome things, her room was not plentiful.

The decorations must have been original, and the room was large but without furniture, so it even looked empty.

‘The only thing I can praise is the door.’

A door with various security spells on it.

Compared to other professors’ offices, the security was even more thorough.

But if you didn’t know that it was magic, it looked like a pretty decoration.

Kikik-

At that moment, someone casually opened the door and came in.
