章節 14: Chapter 13: Turning point 1 - Cassock (2)
"In any case!" He said, squirming his body, fumbling and tapping around his pockets.
After a while, grand as he might wished it to appear, took out a large book with a movement so comical I wished to puke.
"BUDDY, THIS, YOU SEE, HERE IS CALLED A MAGIC TEXTBOOK!!!" He exclaimed grandiosely.
In a way an infantile teenager might brags a peculiar shaped, dirty and slightly grimy stick he pick up from the ground, I might add.
In any case, "Call me Rudeus," I corrected him softly.
Since he appears to be an ignorant peasant, I can, at the very least show some royal generosity I suppose.
"E-Eh... E—A ha ha?"
He jolted and chuckled with a stiff difficulty, while his upright posture was deflated and crumpled synonymously, because he was interrupted during his, narcissistic self stately introduction.
While maintaining eye contact, because he was an ignorant imbecile, for him to understand, in a cordial and magnonimous manner I added, "I don't feel very comfortable having a pet name."
"Aaah..." He trailed off, his whole body vividly gesturing the man recalled of something.
"I forgot... You were a shy child actually!" He exclaimed, smacking his palms.
YOU ARE WRONG!!! I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT.
With my temper on the loftier sides of its limit, I tried to corrected him.
But in the end, decided not to. Since, in the case that I needed to use this... This... Riff raff.
It might just be better to let him freely believed I am just an embarassed child.
Also, because there is such a large gap in our intelligence, it feels irritating to speak with him for more than necessary.
If I have to add more clarity, it was similar to speaking with an ape, and attempting to understand why they eat lices.
So I decidedly chooses to avoid linguistic confrontation anymore.
Since that is the case, not offering any rebuttal, I just stared at him blankly, maintaining eye contact.
And the man, perhaps taking my silence to affirm his preception, nodded once exaggeratedly.
Offering his smile bright as the sun, the man suddenly makes his move, bending his spine and moving closer to I.
His movement appear as if he was trying to initiate skin contacts.
Wow... Creepy. I thought, taking a few back steps again uncertainly.
"Eee heh..." He elongated his snort, smirking. As if implying the action just now was to teases me.
—CRACK
Was I mistaken or did I just heard a vein actually popping in my head just now?
This man, he really has a doctorate degrees into annoying me.
"It's perfectly fine," He proclaimed. "You'd get used to it soon... I've dealt with many children as embarassed as you."
"Definitely a lie." Suppressing my frustration, I deadpanned, while averting my gaze.
...
A few seconds past in silence like that. The awkwardness of that moment was positively pleasing.
"N-N-No." He argued, finally. Waving his hands around in panic.
With my head still facing the side, I send him a sidelong glance, but stay quiet.
"I-I don't lie."
"That so?..."
The man clearly adopts an erratic breath, while scratching the nails of his finger. Searching for another subjects to dodge my inquiry.
"Hmm..." I observed him.
Now that I push some attention his way, I realise that, though his robe and his body were very clean generally, his fingernails were botchy, some of them shorter than the other.
Simply put, it could be seen it was bitten often.
"Sure~?" I said, imitating his irritating way of speaking, pressuring him softly.
"L-Let us start out lesson." He dodged. "As I was saying—"
"Oh, F—" I hesitated, it was kind of awkward, I don't realise why then, but I feel some hesitation to call him that.
Let's just call him teacher
"Teacher, I have done memorized that book."
"Eh~?"
"Hmm?...."
"Eeeeehhhh?!!"
Because his vocal cords were quite praiseworthy, it pushed me back as I grimaced.
Cracking open one eyes, I rebuke him. "You are too loud, Teacher. Be professional."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I came back. I am still mad though. Arguably the writing quality may be lower to the prior chapters because I lose all of what I initially wrote.
On the other hand, my laptop was already sold off to God knows where when I finally confronted the boy.
I was initially quite angry, but the boy who stole it, because of some family matters really needed it, in short he had a legitimately good reason for stealing it...
Angry as I am, I chooses to not push the case further. Since he was feeling extremely guilty himself.
I'm still damn mad though, he literally lose me all the documents I had. And since I am pretty low on money I would need to do some side jobs to recover financially.
For the reason mentioned I may not be able to post as often, apology.
