The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 169



Conversation

“First, try making an excuse.”

Excuses…

I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say or where to start.

“why···.”

Did I look suffocated? The teacher opened his cherry-like lips and asked me in a slightly trembling voice.

“Why did you run away so cruelly?”

Why did you run away from me?

“···.”

I couldn’t answer right away.

“Did you hate this teacher?”

“or not···.”

“Is this the teacher you started to dislike?”

A voice that seems calm, but you can tell that it’s just pretending to be calm.

My lips don’t come off easily. In fact, I felt frustrated as well.

Did I ever hate myself?

Besides, did I hate seeing myself?

Of course, as we lived together, there were moments when such feelings arose.

Throwing the underwear you were wearing in your face and telling you to wash it,

As a man, they force you to maintain your ‘chastity’ and control your going out and staying out overnight.

You’re so obsessed with me that you even check your tracking magic,

Whenever Daphne showed that kind of behavior, the country would grumble and complain, and would even feel the urge to leave Daphne and live freely.

Thinking back, there are more than enough reasons to hate and dislike it.

I can confidently say that I have never completely hated the human being called ‘Daphne’. Why? Because Daphne was a benefactor, a family member, and a teacher who gave me things and moments that were far more valuable than anything I could ever hate.

She rescued me and saved me from being a vessel of sin.

He raised me, fed me, and accepted me as his disciple.

He taught me swordsmanship, magic, and everything he had without sparing a single moment.

Daphne and I had a lot of silly conversations every day. We would joke around and joke at each other, and sometimes we would get really angry and upset at each other.

That’s the kind of relationship we had. Even if our feelings were hurt by each other, we could never grow apart.

If not,

If you really hated your teacher and didn’t want to see him for the rest of your life,

I would never have come here.

Am I crazy?

Knowing full well of the Master’s abilities, it was only natural that he would come here, staying only in one of the most famous places on the continent.

If I had truly left because I hated seeing my teacher, I would have lived each day in hiding in a remote area where there are few people.

The reason I came to Adenia instead was obvious. Because I had belatedly realized that the world I was living and breathing in was a fucking game.

If you didn’t know this?

To be honest, I would not have left my teacher’s side.

Sometimes… no, often times, things would get annoying, but my teacher liked me, and I also thought of him as more than just family.

If I didn’t know that the world I lived in was a game.

[Harem Academy], that was a fucking game.

The world was about to end in an instant.

I couldn’t save the person I wanted to save.

I had to watch someone die to see the ending.

I hated that. I hated looking beyond the monitor, but I hated it even more that the things I saw beyond the monitor were actually happening in the world I lived in.

I wanted to change something.

I hoped that the colors of the world I live in would not change,

I hoped that those who had to shed tears would not cry,

I hoped that the tragedy that had to happen wouldn’t happen.

So I came here.

Coming here has changed a lot, and it will continue to change a lot.

“no.”

So I had to say it.

“Because I hate it, because I don’t want to see it···.”

Even though I was the one questioning him, I was trembling like a baby deer to the teacher.

“That was absolutely not the case.”

With honest sincerity.

“There was just a reason why it had to be that way.”

A story I haven’t been able to tell you before.

“Huh… Okay. Then tell me.”

I wonder if my sincerity was conveyed at least a little.

Daphne took a deep breath and began to look at me with much calmer eyes.

“What is that great reason?”

Just like the teacher I remembered.

“I wanted to change.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s a predetermined fate.”

“A predetermined fate···?”

“When we first met, my teacher said that I was very similar to him, even to the point of trying to escape from his predetermined fate.”

“That was it….”

When I started talking seriously, she looked at me with slightly surprised eyes for some reason.

“As the Master said, my fate was set. As a vessel of sin, a bad ending was foreseen.”

“···.”

“I wanted to escape that fate. And I wanted to help people escape it.”

“Letting go means···.”

“There were people like me here who had walked a path of destiny that was already set for them, regardless of their own will. If left alone, they would have all fallen into that deep abyss.”

Several people come to mind.

Rose of the Viscounty of Darmien,

Sage, the magical doll with no emotions

Daisy, bound by the porter’s contract,

Lily melting into the bloody lake

Fran, who created a harem and brought about destruction,

Professor Dian, who has become the possessor of sin,

The emperor, the pope, and even the swordsman who had to fall.

“I knew their destinies, and I knew what kind of impact they would have on the world.”

Destruction, the guiding light of everyone’s fate, was ultimately pointing in that direction.

“That’s why I left my master and came here. To change the fate that was set for me.”

In fact, I have saved many people and am saving many people. If I move just a little bit more, I will soon be able to deny the very idea of ​​’being fixed’.

“···Yeah. That’s what it was.”

After hearing what I said, the teacher slowly nodded his head and then opened his lips again.

“This master also had some idea. I don’t know exactly what the predetermined fate is that the disciple is talking about, but I have felt that quite a few children have escaped from somewhere.”

Daphne spoke calmly, and I was secretly surprised. She hadn’t said anything to the Master yet, but he had felt that way himself.

“I could tell just by looking at him. Just like our disciple had been acting like a troublemaker since he was little, he must have done something for those kids too. That’s why he changed so much.”

“I have no intention of criticizing the righteous deeds you have done. No, to be honest, I think you have done well. Of course, I do not like the fact that you have done your righteous deeds only to girls, as you have always done, but that does not diminish the value of what you have done.”

Feeling a sting from the word woman, I looked at my teacher’s expression and suddenly felt a sense of doubt.

Daphne’s appearance now was quite different from what we had always seen before.

Whenever the teacher talked about women, he would always draw a thin line in his eyes and clench his fists.

No matter how well I did, I never directly said that I did well.

But now, something was different.

“Well, I’ll ask. It’s important, so please be honest with me.”

She looked more serious than ever.

Her blue eyes gradually begin to turn gold.

“Camel. My disciple.”

She asked, feeling as if bugs were crawling all over her body and in a heavy atmosphere where she felt she should not even think of lying.

“How and when did the disciple come to know about the ‘determination’ that the disciple spoke of?”

How did I know the stories of those I saved?

“that···.”

Daphne’s sharp question made my mind turn white. Once again, I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say.

I was worried.

Should I just be honest? When I opened my eyes, I was in a world inside a game I enjoyed playing, and because I was in a game I enjoyed playing, I knew the fates of other people?

What if I do that?

Should I take this at face value, Master?

If you look at it one way, I guess I’ve been deceiving you all this time, so wouldn’t the teacher be angry?

What if I don’t do that?

Can I make up a plausible lie?

Even if I were to tell a lie, would that lie be accepted in this situation where the Master’s eyes are now dyed golden?

In that split second, many questions and answers came together in my head.

Let’s do that for a moment.

Having finally managed to come to a conclusion, I carefully and slowly opened my lips.

“in fact···.”

Just to be honest.

No matter how I thought about it, it seemed like telling the truth would be a better choice for the future, no matter how the teacher reacted.

In fact, I was confident that I could handle it no matter how the teacher reacted.

That’s what I thought.

“―――――――――···?”

“―――――――?”

There was no voice. No, to be precise, he was speaking clearly, but his voice seemed to be blocked by something and not reaching Daphne.

Suddenly, I lost my voice like a mermaid, so I panicked and tried to speak again.

“Fuck. Why are you suddenly like this?”

The swearing was normal and clear.
