The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 370

Gaiden ― Later story (15)

“You look very tired, are you really okay?”

“yes? Oh, it’s okay. Don’t worry, Yuna.”

Yoo Ji-hyeok nodded his head saying not to worry at Lee Yu-na’s question.

She looked worriedly, then suddenly found him supporting her waist with her hand.

waist.

After all, why does my back hurt?

“… … .”

She narrowed her eyes and made many expressions about what she wanted to say, but then she shut her mouth.

Seeing that Jin Ye-seul had arrived not long after, Yoo Ji-hyuk continued to stretch out.

“Then shall we leave now?”

Today was the day we were going to meet their professor, Abel Grossman, as we had previously scheduled.

Originally, I should have gone yesterday, but the appointment was postponed to today due to an unexpected accident that happened to Yoo Ji-hyuk.

Like Lee Yu-na, who was suffering from forty-nine, her condition deteriorated greatly a year ago, but thanks to the ten thousandths, she has improved and is now judged to be almost completely cured.

However, I don’t know if it is because she has decided that it is difficult to return to the field yet, or whether it is for him or to completely control the condition, but she has decided to recuperate for a while and chose the place to be in Korea, not her hometown.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand.”

Jin Ye-seul, who got into the passenger seat first, muttered like that.

“Why didn’t you tell us ahead of time that you were young?”

Yoo Ji-hyeok burst out a small laugh at her question.

“I think that’s why Yesul knows you better?”

“no? I don’t know.”

She nodded her head in response naturally.

“Yuna, do you think so too?”

“yes? Yes… yes what… .”

Yoo Ji-hyeok opened his mouth saying that he was right at Lee Yu-na’s rude reaction.

“Look, Yesul is only like you.”

“Ahaha… .”

… In fact, contrary to his thoughts, Lee Yu-na was also very saddened by the fact that she couldn’t see him as young as Jin Ye-seul.

It was the same with Evangeline Lohengrin, who came to solve Yoo Ji-hyuk’s condition.

At that time, the three who received a belated call from Yoo Ji-hyuk were very, very sorry that they could not see Yoo Ji-hyuk’s youthful side for their own reasons.

“ha.”

Jin Ye-seul let out a small sigh.

She glanced at Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was sitting next to him and grabbed the steering wheel, and murmured.

“I want to see Jihyuk as young again.”

“… It gets in the way of driving, Yeseul.”

Ignoring Yoo Ji-hyuk’s words, she continued to mutter.

“In addition, if possible, the appearance of the younger invitee… .”

Soon after, she smiled brightly with an ecstatic expression on her face.

“Then we should both take them home… .”

“… … .”

Jihyuk didn’t say anything.

Lee Yu-na, who was watching the scene from behind with a bitter smile, picked up something and brought it to Yoo Ji-hyuk’s lips.

“Eat, Jihyuk. It’s a tangerine.”

“yes? Ah, thank you.”

Lee Yoo-na, who was feeding Yoo Ji-hyeok with tangerines, was startled and startled when his finger touched his lips.

Soon after, she was somewhat embarrassed that she had overreacted, and she fed Yoo Ji-hyeok a mandarin orange without a break, and Jin Ye-seul, who was staring at Yoo Ji-hyuk, who ate as much as he gave, muttered.

“It’s like a baby bird taking food from its mother bird.”

“Kellogg.”

Hearing those words, Yoo Ji-hyeok let out a small cough.

Jin Ye-seul, who looked at him with a grin, turned her head to Lee Yu-na and said, “Aah,” and opened her mouth slightly.

“tweet. Give me something to eat too, Mom. tweet.”

“Come on, here it is. Oh, do it.”

Lee Yu-na giggled and put a tangerine in Jin Ye-seul’s mouth.

Jin Ye-seul, who was wiping her mouth like a child, burst into laughter and ate the tangerine.

It wasn’t long before I came near the toll gate.

“Ji-hyuk.”

“yes?”

“Can’t we just cancel the pass without going through it?”

“What?”

Yoo Ji-hyeok looked at Jin Ye-seul with a look that said it was necessary.

Then, Jin Ye-seul looked at him with eyes full of determination and said once more.

“Can’t it?”

“Is there any special reason?”

“Uh… It’s not like that.”

Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded as if there was nothing difficult.

He drove straight to the ticket-issued side when he half-pocketed out to get a ticket.

click.

“yes?”

He could see Jin Ye-seul taking a picture of herself with a serious expression.

Rather than being surprised, curious as to why he was doing this, he asked, putting his body back in.

“Why is the picture all of a sudden?”

“just… I think what my sister said was right.”

“Is this Mr. Jeong-Jeong Jin?”

“yes.”

“What did you say?”

Jin Ye-seul answered in a serious voice.

“A man driving a car is s*xy. Especially the back and sides.”

“… … .”

Yoo Ji-hyuk shut his mouth once more.

After a while, they reached their destination.

On the way, Jin Ye-seul took a few more pictures of him as he turned to park the car on the way.

“Did I say we should walk a little more from here?”

“yes. about 10 minutes? You’re going to have to park the car here.”

Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded at Lee Yu-na’s words as she brought out the gift she had prepared in advance.

He naturally took the burden in her hands instead.

“It’s very quiet.”

“Yeah, the road… .”

Lee Yu-na nodded and Jin Ye-seul answered.

“There must be a better place, but I don’t know why I came here.”

It was a cold statement, but the two of them just smiled bitterly, knowing that it was something she said because she was worried about it.

The three of them walked slowly up the relatively gentle mountain path, although the pavement was not properly done.

Then it was about half way up.

“ah!”

“Be careful!”

As if she stumbled, Jin Ye-seul’s body staggered and tilted.

Fortunately, Yoo Ji-hyeok was on the side where her body was leaning, so there was no serious injury.

“it’s okay? You should have been careful.”

“yes… I’m sorry, Jihyuk. Thanks for accepting it.”

Jin Ye-seul, who half hugged him, muttered like that and corrected her posture.

Yoo Ji-hyuk looked at her like that, and said, “Are you okay?

“… … .”

And Yuuna was staring at the two of them without saying a word.

In her mind, when she and Jin Ye-seul went to attack the dungeon a few days ago, even in an unstable place under her feet, she was able to show off her acrobatics and move like flowing water.

That she loses her balance and stumbles on such a flat mountain road… .

Lee Yu-na didn’t even notice that her expression gradually hardened little by little.

“I see you there.”

Before long, they found a small country house.

It was where Abel Grossman was recuperating.

“You are finally here.”

Abel Grossman, who was at the entrance as if waiting for them, greeted them warmly.

“professor.”

The party, including Yoo Ji-hyuk, bowed their heads politely towards her.

Abel Grossman, a little leaner than what he remembered, smiled a little.

“What are you all talking about so hard? Come on in sooner than that. I cleaned it hard because you came.”

“If you feel uncomfortable… .”

“It’s easy enough, so don’t worry. It is not polite to greet guests while they are dirty.”

She was in a wheelchair and tapped the handle of the wheelchair.

“Come in, it’s been a while since I’ve heard your stories.”

In fact, their relationship could be said to be far from being an ordinary teacher and disciple in many ways.

In the case of Yoo Ji-hyuk, after meeting her for the first time, he returned to his original world after about half a year, so there weren’t many contact points.

In fact, if I had to pick the person who had the shallowest relationship with Abel Grossman out of the three people in this position, I could say that he was not Jin Ye-seul.

Ye-seul Jin was still not open to Abel Grossman, but that didn’t mean she was wary or reluctant.

It was because Jin Ye-seul also knew that she was considerate of Jin Ye-seul in her own way and tried to provide her convenience.

However, she stayed right in front of the boundary that Jin Ye-seul allowed for others, and she could not cross that line until the day they finally broke up.

On the other hand, in Lee Yu-na’s case, she trusted and followed her as if she were her own parent, and Abel Grossman also implicitly cherished Lee Yu-na as a child.

Maybe that’s why she was laughing and talking more actively than usual, and she was working hard to keep the story going.

“… Yeah, and after that, I heard that Lee Myung-jun is getting married?”

Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded as Abel Grossman gently brought up the story.

“Yes. Yes. Not long now. Rather, it seems that the professor was also invited.”

“Um, haven’t I told you before? We’ve been attacking together a few times in the past, so we have a bit of a relationship. I have also received offers of recruitment.”

Abel Grossman shrugged his shoulders.

“But unfortunately, I don’t think I will be able to attend the wedding. Now is… Because I haven’t recovered enough to be able to go somewhere.”

Yuuna nodded her head without realizing it.

It was only for a very short period that she was forty, but even that brief time was more painful than any time she had ever been through.

Even if you talk like it’s not a big deal, Abel Grossman said that his condition had deteriorated until just before he died because of forty.

“Besides, tell me your story. I am very curious to see how everyone is doing and what to do next.”

It was Yoo Ji-hyuk who answered her question first.

“I have to graduate first.”

“It should be.”

Abel Grossman nodded.

“After graduating… I’m thinking about whether I should set up a guild or a raid group, or maybe I’ll do something like a hunter or a hero. I haven’t decided on the details yet.”

He knew well that the people around him were putting pressure on him in many ways.

However, as one of the things he hated the most was eating and playing without doing anything, such as the so-called western-style room, he did not intend to concede as much as this.

“I’m like a Hyun-sang.”

Jin Ye-seul answered.

“My mother-in-law. Or a full-time housewife.”

Even Abel Grossman seemed a little perplexed at her resolute answer.

Yuuna smiled slightly and muttered.

“Well, I have to keep serving as Jihyuk’s secretary. Jihyuk hasn’t graduated yet, so it’s relaxing, but he’ll be very busy soon.”

“… I see.”

Abel Grossman nodded.

In the past, she did not like the job, but now she was just cheering for Lee Yu-na.

“Well, the time has already come.”

Abel Grossman looked at his watch and muttered:

“There will be classes tomorrow, so it’s best to go back to work before it’s too late. Thank you so much everyone for coming.”

She smiled at her few disciples.

In particular, she smiled a little deeper towards Yuuna, who could be said to be her favorite disciple.

“… I don’t know if everyone will like it, but if you feel like it, come visit me.”

She added playfully.

“I will hide you even if you come to me after committing a crime.”

* * *

“… … .”

Lee Yu-na glanced to the side without saying a word.

Next to her was Yoo Ji-hyuk holding the steering wheel.

In the car on the way back, she and him were alone.

It was because Jin Ye-seul, who answered Yoo Ji-na’s call, got off on the way to meet her.

There were various names by which Jin Ye-seul called Yoo Ji-na.

My lady, my invitation, my predecessor. Gina… .

The common denominator of all these titles was that they contained respect and boundless affection.

Unlike Jin Ye-seul, Lee Yu-na did not have much contact with Yoo Ji-na.

I knew he was Yoo Ji-hyuk’s younger brother, but that was all.

It was because she wasn’t the type to approach herself or each other first, and there weren’t many points of contact either.

That’s why I thought that there would be no private conversation with Eugene.

Just a little while ago, I thought so.

“… … .”

Youna carefully checked the text message that had just arrived.

[from. Yoo Ji-na]

go for it.

It was a text message from none other than Eugene.

[from. Yoo Ji-na]

Oppa is no longer living in the dormitory, so you won’t have to worry about curfew.

ps) Oppa, there is no class tomorrow morning.

“… eww.”

I wasn’t stupid enough to not understand the meaning of this character.

Rather, it was a time when I was feeling complicated emotions in many ways.

tyring.

The last text message arrived a little late.

And it became an opportunity to push Yuna’s back a little, very little.

[from. Yoo Ji-na]

First of all, let me apologize.

I’ve done something too presumptuous.

We sincerely apologize.

… But even though I know it’s coming, I send a text message again like this.

You may be offended, but looking at Yuna-san reminded me of my old self, so I ended up acting my way like this.

Read At noblemtl.net

Obviously, you are struggling and struggling on your own.

Literally, I just hope that my Oji-ryap was a good opportunity for Yuna-san.

ps) I’m embarrassed to say this, but actually, I like Lee Yuna quite a bit too.

If Ms. Yuna is sad, she may not be able to forgive the idiot who must have been the cause.

“… … .”

Youna slowly put her phone in.

And quietly, very quietly, he began to catch his breath.

… Yes, my first meeting with him could be said to be the worst.

He misunderstood him, made conclusions, and pushed him.

Yoo Ji-hyeok bursts out the emotions he has accumulated for himself.

‘No, come to think of it, it’s true that you’re wearing octopus feet.’

Yuena let out a small laugh.

The difference between then and now was that he was somehow hanging on to the octopus’ feet.

To be precise, he was holding on to himself and trying not to fall.

… I don’t even know since when.

When misunderstandings about him are cleared up?

When we went to raid dungeons together?

When he opens his heart and tells his old story?

When you were willing to help yourself, who should have been stuck in the abyss at forty?

When you owe a huge debt and try to hide it from yourself without showing anything?

What if he or she had two years to go back to the original world?

‘no.’

Maybe it was from the beginning.

Lee Yu-na thought so while still smiling.

She was always unsure of herself.

A child who was abandoned by his parents and raised in an orphanage.

The only people he trusted were those who all but one wanted to take advantage of him.

That’s why I became more and more sharpened towards others, and I worked hard not to catch a single flaw.

So maybe… .

Therefore, it may have been that he was denying himself.

I am not as wise as Han Soo-young.

I am not as competent as Yeeun Lee.

I can’t throw it like Jin Ye-seul.

I’m not as beautiful as Minerva… .

So I compared and compared with everyone.

“… … .”

Lee Yu-na has never wanted anything from anyone in her life.

It was because he did not think that it would ever be his, and he firmly believed that such an act would reveal his weakness.

However.

But now… .

‘okay.’

now.

Really, shamelessly.

I didn’t want to let go.

“Yuna, you have arrived. You must get up now.”

Yoo Ji-hyuk said so and carefully placed his hand on her shoulder.

She seemed to have mistakenly thought that she was sleeping when she quietly closed her eyes and was contemplating.

Lee Yu-na quietly reached out and grabbed Yoo Ji-hyuk’s hand.

“What, are you awake?”

“Hey, Jihyuk.”

Yoona said quietly as if in a whisper.

She sighed and looked straight into his eyes.

“Are not you hungry… ?”

“What?”

“That, that… You didn’t eat much at the professor’s house earlier. It’s been a while since I’ve driven here… .”

Youna felt her lips dry out.

“What I want to say is. Well, since I’ve been away for a long time, Jihyuk knows how to cook a little, even if he’s not as good as you. So I mean… Well… .”

She looked at him and whispered in a crawling voice.

“Let’s go eat La, Ramen at my house… ?”
