chapter 99
99.Final Exam…Is the End of Service (1)
“…Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a major malfunction.”
“Thank you.”
“No. As a manufacturer, after-sales service, or repairs for breakdowns, is a given.”
“AS… ?”
“There is something like that.”
“Is that so?”
Fortunately, Karina didn’t ask about my mistake. As expected, a saint. His heart His His His is big, no, wide, so look at his benevolence his his. This is why people should believe in Kalonism-
“Uh, John? “You are speaking now…”
Ah. My mouth.
“… “Pretend you didn’t hear it.”
“Have you fixed everything Patrasche?”
Karina mercifully pretended not to have heard me and went on with her story about Patrasche. Ah, such a benevolent person is a saint of Kalonism, so Kalonism is the greatest religion on the continent.
“Now that I am fixing things, I plan to make some improvements.”
I was thinking of slightly modifying the wheels and adjusting the handle and center of gravity slightly. I had a harder time keeping my balance on the ramp than I thought. Of course, I don’t know if it’ll be that useful since the driver is Lenny, who boasts enough strength to even carry a carriage, but it’s still better than nothing.
I strengthened the patrasche by pulling materials piled up in one corner of the studio. The bones were slightly shaved to adjust the center of gravity, the wheels were made easier to roll, and new brakes were installed to prevent them from falling over on inclines.
Lastly, a folding function was added to improve portability.
It was the best I could do at this point.
If possible, I would like to hang this and that for self-defense, but that would be difficult. I came up with a device such as creating a weapon storage space under the chair or inserting a stinger launcher into the handle, but unfortunately, I can’t make it like that.
If Karina gets hurt due to an unlucky malfunction, it will be a pain in the ass.
If something goes wrong because of the device I’ve hidden, there’s no way it could end in a pay cut. If I wasn’t lucky, I would have been kicked out of the academy, but for me, who wanted to see the true ending at all costs, it was the worst outcome.
Moreover, as long as Lenny is there, it’s hard to see it as a very meaningful meaning. It would have been much better to make a weapon for self-defense.
“This should be enough.”
“Are you done?”
“Would you like to sit down for a moment?”
I unfolded her patrache and placed it in front of Karina. Karina looked at her wheelchair in front of her for a moment, then carefully placed her hands on her desk and stood up. But Karina’s physical condition is still not that good. I looked at Karina with her anxious eyes, afraid that she would faint.
“Oh…”
I quickly caught Karina, who was about to fall. A soft texture wrapped around my arms her her her her. Since the posture in which she is hugged is the same, the situation where her breasts are touching each other is burdensome. Lenny might get angry if he sees this. I quickly placed Karina, who was in her arms, on Patrasche.
“…Thank you.”
When I touched her body for the first time in a long time, there was a pleasant scent. Did she spray her perfume separately, or did it just smell like this from the beginning? It’s not that important either way, but it bothers me for no reason.
…He’s also the most mature among our kids.
“John?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“No. When I think about it, it’s been a long time since we were together like this.”
It seemed like she was blatantly changing the subject, but I didn’t want to keep the awkward atmosphere going so I agreed with what she said.
“I think it’s the first time since the desert island.”
“Uninhabited island… It was a truly amazing place.”
Interesting place? When I looked at Karina’s face after those words, I saw that her face was filled with memories.
Um… It was a place like a nightmare in many ways to me, but from Karina’s point of view, it was treated like a place of memories in its own way. Well, thinking about Karina now, the uninhabited island might have felt more comfortable in many ways.
He fell into a coma not long after returning to the continent, and was now having difficulty moving due to the curse. A little while ago, I almost collapsed without being able to walk even three steps. I too have suffered a serious injury on a deserted island, so I understand how you feel.
I don’t really want to go back though. I have so many precious memories that sometimes I still have nightmares about wandering around on a deserted island.
“Um…John? Can I ask you to take a walk? “I feel frustrated staying in the studio.”
“Retriever…”
“Yes?”
“No.”
If Milia is a small dog that clings to you like crazy, is this a large dog with a calm personality? It was a bit weird for her to assign dog breeds to saints, but she suddenly remembered it and accidentally let it out. I put on my jacket and grabbed Patrasche’s handle.
Is this the first time since I pushed Millia?
I began to slowly push Patrasche, caring about Karina’s safety
Being too fast was a problem, being too slow was also a problem, so maintaining an appropriate speed is the key.
I open the studio door and step into the grass with the hot sun shining over the land. Fortunately, the slightly improved Patrasche moved without any problems.
“It’s a walk…”
I have a strange feeling.
A walk just for the two of us, without Millia, Elisa, or Lenny. How long has it been since you two went for a walk like this?
“It’s been a while since we two went for a walk.”
“Is this the first time since the uninhabited island?”
“I was really scared at the time, and I wanted to return to this land quickly, but… I think humans are such treacherous creatures. When I came back, I felt like I wanted to go to a deserted island again.”
“It’s not strange. It’s common for people to have fantasies about the passing past.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Huhu, I hear a graceful laugh. Unfortunately, it was a shame that I couldn’t see Patrasche’s face his. To hide my disappointment, I slightly increased the speed of pushing Patrasche.
I hear the sound of wheels rolling. A sound that cannot help but be heard because it supports the entire weight of a person. In a yard where there was no other noise, even this became background music and tickled my ears. In the meantime, Karina’s voice came in.
“Lenny had a lot of worries, so she was reluctant to go out even a little bit. So, let’s say she only wandered around in this garden all the time…”
Karina sighed lightly, as if she felt regretful about that. Well, it’s nice to see the garden once or twice, but if you go to the same place every time, you’re bound to get bored. But it’s a bit awkward for me to take him outside. If she gets caught by Lenny, she’ll be bombarded with all kinds of nagging.
“I want to look outside for a bit, how can I not?”
Karina turned her head and our eyes met. Watery eyes of different colors looked at my face with a charming smile. It is a face so beautiful that it is burdensome. I answered while avoiding eye contact.
“…I guess it’s okay to a small extent.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
How could a mere escort knight refuse a request from a solemn saint? The saintess smiled at her and she quickly nodded. After finishing her self-rationalization, I turned Patrasche’s direction and headed toward the door leading outside the Dawn Pavilion-
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Because Karina earnestly requested it. “I’ll just circle around here for a moment-“
“Stop moving.”
The pressure I felt on my shoulders forced me to stop moving my legs. That’s because Lenny was holding my shoulder. Because I’m taller, the composition was a bit subtle, but that wasn’t important.
Leni glared at me with her serious eyes. As expected, Lenny. When it comes to anything involving Karina, you do it with a straight face, even if you are a friend.
“I told you I wasn’t allowed to go outside of Yeomyeonggwan.”
“The saint wants to do that. How can I, as a mere escort knight, stop it?”
I proudly took out the saint’s shield. Isn’t working life basically about pretending to do whatever your superiors insist on?
At my response to her, Leni sighed, took the handle from her, and spoke in a grumpy voice.
“If you can’t talk… Now go. “It’s vacation starting today.”
“Yes, but-“
“It’s funny that the guy who got leave works overtime. Whether it’s going out to play or enjoying a hobby in the studio, go out and come back. “Vacations should be spent like vacations.”
It is only fitting that a superior understands the importance of vacation. I guess I’ll have to leave soon after they support me like this.
There’s a lot to do.
“Okay.”
“Okay. I don’t know what you’re going to do, but don’t cause an accident. “It’s a hassle to sort things out.”
“That won’t happen.”
Actually, I think that happens a lot. Because the purpose of my leave was to attend to an accident. It may be a pity for Leni, but I wish she would write a few more poems on my behalf. Well, depending on how things work out, nothing may happen… But there’s no way my life will work out that easily.
From the first day of being possessed, I was treated like a stranded person on a deserted island. Just think that no matter what you do, you will be punished.
“Okay then, I’ll see you in four days..”
“Please be careful!”
“Have a nice trip!”
Then, let’s go on vacation.
If I were to leave, it would be just below… I smiled bitterly at the thought of leaving on a vacation that wasn’t a vacation.
Because the end of the first semester is approaching.
