The Hero Creation Classroom of a Reincarnated Ordinary Person: After Reaching My Limit As An Adventurer, I Reluctantly Opened A Classroom In The Countryside To Earn Money For The Future, And My Student Became The Strongest - Episode 66

For now, the storm has passed.

From the looks of it, it’s not completely resolved, but for now, we can consider it over.

If you lay a hand on the classroom, I won’t show any mercy then.

…Well, it seems like Eve will chop me into bits before I even get a chance, and then Mu will probably make me disappear.

“It’s been a while, Mu.”

I call out to the petite girl standing next to me.

The short black hair was just as I remembered, but the attire was a bit different.

The black robe with silver decorations suits you quite well, adding an air of mystery.

Mu beamed with a broad smile on her face and nodded firmly.

“I’m home, Endy.”

“How have you been lately? I heard you became a professor at the Magic Tower…”

“Yeah, guidance, occasionally.”

“I see.”

But, I wonder why. For some reason, I had a slight feeling of unease.

I must have felt it recently, but I can’t remember which time it was the same premonition.

Somehow, I feel like I’ve experienced something like this in the guild before…

“Haha, isn’t that amazing? That brat who couldn’t use magic has made a big name for himself. I’m proud too.”

Diverting my gaze from that unpleasant feeling, I praise Mu.

No way, that can’t be. No way, following Eve like that, no way.

Mu nodded once more and then looked straight at me.

“Oh, correction. I used to be a professor.”

“I quit the Magic Tower.”

Blink a few times.

I quit the Magic Tower. I quit the Magic Tower… No money coming in.

“Huh!?”

“！？”

Mu flinched at my loud voice, but I ignored it and grabbed her shoulder.

“Wha, wha, wha, you quit!?”

“Y-yeah…”

“The Magic Tower!? The professor of the Magic Tower!?”

“Yeah”

“No, no, no, no, why!?”

“…I’ll help you here, Endy.”

“No, helping means…”

Then, Mu steps forward and hugs me from the front.

That said, she is so petite that it looks like a younger sister playfully teasing her older brother.

“I like this classroom. So I want to stay here, not in the magic tower. I want to become a teacher here, just like Endy.”

I can’t say anything in response to the unusual tone and the feelings conveyed in that voice.

Perhaps sensing that, Mu continued to press on relentlessly.

“Endy and I are allies. We are partners who created magic together. So, it’s fine, right?”

When I hear words like ally or partner, I am reminded of the time we once created magic together.

In fact, those days were enjoyable for me as well and quite valuable.

“Well, um…”

That’s precisely why I end up giving such vague answers.

“Hey”

A hand like a white fish, which had suddenly appeared from outside my field of vision, grabbed the collar of Mu’s robe and pulled him away from me.

Even though the movements were slow, the force applied when grabbing was strong just to watch, the robe was wrinkled, and Mu was being pulled back helplessly.

“Hello, Mu-chan, nice to meet you. I’m Eve, the ‘first’ student of the teacher. Nice to meet you.”

Mu, who had been staring at me intently, slowly turned his face at Eve’s words.

Eve, looking down at Mu, and Mu, looking up at Eve, locked eyes for a few seconds.

“Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. I’m Endy, ‘Partner’, Mu.”

Why does Eve emphasize “the first” so much, and why does Mu also emphasize “partner”?

I felt like sparks were flying between the two of them, but I tried my best not to look and called out to Mu.

“Ah, um… we were talking about wanting to teach here, right? But is it really okay? I think the magic tower would be better…”

I have my own fondness for the classroom, but it can’t compare to the Magic Tower.

Even though I said it in that sense, Mu tilted her head.

“Here, number one. Besides, teaching and learning, both are the same.”

“Ah… well, it’s the same because you’re the one teaching. But the classroom, well…”

Currently, there are only my classroom and Eve’s classroom.

I considered using Eve’s classroom together, but it would be quite inconvenient.

While I was thinking about such things, Mu moved its arms and legs a little.

It seemed like he wanted to move forward, but he couldn’t because Eve was holding his collar.

Eventually, as if giving up, he let his hands drop limply.

“That’s right, Mu-chan. I understand how you feel, but right now, this school building only has the teacher’s and my classroom.”

With a swift motion, Mu extends his right hand forward and begins to chant something.

Then a crack ran through the space, and a hole opened up. Inside that hole, a purple darkness spread out.

From among them, a large number of gold coins fell.

Gold coins falling to the floor, resonating with a captivating metallic sound that you want to listen to forever.

It’s no wonder you get captivated. After all, they shine.

“Money, I have.”

“Y-yeah”

“Ittetsu-sama, please.”

“……Yeah.”

“Endy”

When you called my name.

“！？”

Eve reflexively pulled her hand away from Mu’s collar.

Seeing the way he flinched, it seems Mu did something.

Mu walked straight ahead, stopping just short of colliding with me.

“I’ve made a lot of money. I’ll keep making more… Is that bad?”

With my left hand taken and being caressed with fingertips, I plead with an upward gaze.

Looking slightly upwards and pondering, I came up with an answer.

“If you’re paying, I don’t mind.”

If I don’t have any expenses, then there’s no problem.

It’s painful that the remittances from Mu will stop, but thanks to Eve’s work, we have a little bit of leeway for now.

Moreover, the amount of money that Mu possesses is probably quite substantial.

The patron’s words are absolute. In the end, those with money are the ones who are strong, huh?

“I thought you would be more embarrassed…”

“Huh? There’s no way I’d act like that towards you now.”

When I replied thinking, “What are you talking about?” Mu pouted her lips.

“……Get away from me.”

A low voice echoed, and once again, Mu was torn away from me.

I tried not to look at Eve, who was forcing a smile while her veins were bulging.

“Clinging to the teacher like that since earlier… so envious—it’s disgraceful. Since the teacher has acknowledged you, I accept you becoming a teacher here. But, have some proper modesty.”

“I said, ‘I’m jealous.'”

“I didn’t say that.”

“I said.”

Eve deepens her forced smile even more. That was just seconds before her anger would explode.

“Your attitude towards your senior hasn’t been right since earlier, has it?”

“Senpai? Experience is long, but it’s not important.”

With a snort, Mu said to Eve in a provocative manner.

“Important, Endy. Bonds, depth. Length? Hmph.”

“Oh, is that so? Oh, is that so? Hehe, hehe… Mu-chan, don’t get carried away.”

Mu, still wearing a big smile (though her eyes were not smiling at all), moved away from Eve once again.

And then I sat down on the chair I had been sitting on until just now.

I tapped the chair lightly with my hand. Just as I was wondering what he was planning to do.

“This is going well.”

I raised my hands and feet to express that I was “riding” there.

Provocation using the phrase “getting carried away” to the fullest extent.

It was a bit funny, and I almost burst out laughing.

“Brat”

Oh, no, it’s not funny at all. You’re right, that kind of attitude is not acceptable.

I feel exactly the same way as Eve, of course.

“Come out. I’ll make it clear which of my students is superior.”

“Agreed, I want to fight, me too, the same.”

The two have stopped smiling and are now glaring at each other.

You can see the sparks flying between the two of them.

I feel like this won’t end unless we clash.

“……Please don’t destroy the school building. Mr. Ittetsu will get angry.”

I decided to just say that.
