Chapter 30: Magic Academy Drinking Party
Nighttime.
I was sitting in front of a table in a popular bar.
In attendance was Marilyn, the headmistress of the Magic Academy. Irene, the teacher. And then there was Norman, the man who see me as an enemy.
「Well, I\'m glad you could make it here today. I and the other instructors of the Academy of Magic would like to gather around the table and deepen our friendship. No disrespect intended.」
Marilyn looked around at the people around the table and smiled.
「Well, let\'s have a toast.」
「「Cheers!」」
We each held up our cups to each other.
After that, I gulped down a mug of ale. The chilled bittersweet ale slipped down my throat and soaked into my five organs.
(T/N: 五臓六腑に染み渡る)
Coincidently, everyone ordered ale for drinks.
「Headmistress, are you all right? Even if I drink ale. If you look like the headmaster, wouldn\'t it be ironic to ask for some juice?」 said Irene.
(T/N: 学園長。大丈夫なのですか? エールを呑んでも。学園長の見た目であれば、ジュースを頼むのが鉄板では?)
「Don\'t be silly. I\'m not a minor. I\'m an adult. I\'m a grown up, and I\'m not going to be satisfied with a little kid\'s drink like orange juice.」
「Do you usually drink alcohol, Headmistress?」 I asked.
「Umu, The stronger the alcohol, the better. Because that\'s the only time I can be me.」
「She\'s talking like an alcoholic......」
It was a word that would not have jumped out at me from the appearance of a young girl.
「More importantly, Kaizer. It\'s about you.」
「About me?」
「I heard that your class is getting quite a reputation. I heard that students from other classes even skipped their own classes to come and listen to it.」
「Yes, The teachers also often come to listen to the lectures. I\'ve also been studying with Kaizer-san.」
Irene came to listen to the lecture almost every time, except when she had her own class.
At the end of the class, she would join the students and come to ask questions.
I\'ve always been impressed with your dedication to learning.
「Headmistress, Kaizer-san\'s classes are amazing. He can take something so complicated and make it so clear that anyone can understand it. There are so many scales that fall from my eyes. I have a lot of respect for him, both as a teacher and as a wizard.」
「Irene, you speak with so much enthusiasm.」
Marilyn grinned
「By some chance, Are you in love with Kaizer? Hmm?」
「Hyawaa!? Fell, Fell in love!?」
(T/N: ひゃわっ!? ほ、惚れっ!?)
Irene waved her hands in front of her chest in dismay. It wasn\'t just the alcohol that had turned her face red.
Marilyn felt satisfied with her reaction...
「Kaizer, you have daughters, but you\'re not married, are you? Then why don\'t you marry Irene?」
「Ma... Marriage?」
「Umu, Irene is a stubborn woman, but she is of good character, has large breasts, and is of childbearing age.」
「Headmistress! Please stop! I\'ll sue you for sexual harassment! The next time we meet will be in court!?」
「Kuu kuu kuu, I\'m the headmaster of a magic academy. If you\'re sued, it\'s easy to win by laying the groundwork in court.」
「Grr...authority power...!」
(T/N: け、権力者めえ……!)
Irene glared at Marilyn resentfully.
Even when Marilyn was glared at, she had a cool look on her face. She didn\'t care about the glare or the sneer.
「What do you think, Kaizer? Isn\'t a woman like Irene your type?」
「No. I think she\'s a nice woman.」
「Fuaaa!? Ka...Kaizer-san!?」
Irene shouted, her voice back.
And while squirming.
「I\'m in trouble....... such....... No, no. I\'m happy for you, but....... Kaiser already has three daughters....... If you have a child with me, there may be friction between my and your daughters.......」
「Are you already thinking about what happens after the baby is born? Irene, Isn\'t your delusion going too far?」
Marilyn muttered in dismay.
「Also, I\'m pretty sure that what Kaizer just said, "I think you\'re a wonderful woman" are not a confession, it\'s just a social call, okay?」
「Eee?! 」 Irene exclaimed in astonishment.
「You seemed to have taken it seriously....... I\'m sure you\'re a pure girl who\'s never been in a relationship before.」
「…………」
The light in the eyes behind Irene\'s glasses suddenly went out.
「Headmistress. I want you to wipe me out with magic right now. To the extent that no particles remain. Erase all my memory and body.」
「Eee, It\'s too much trouble. I don\'t want to use magic when I\'m drunk.」
「Please! I don\'t want to live with this shame! I\'ve mangled the self-consciousness peculiar to innocent girls! Ugh!」
(T/N: I don\'t know what this means 生娘特有の自意識をこじらせてしまって!)
「Why not? Even innocent girls! No, innocent girls are the best!」
Don!
Norman, who had been silent since earlier, slammed the table as hard as he could.
A glint of uncommon enthusiasm in his eyes.
「Norman, are you a...... virgin?」
(T/N: ノーマン。お主……処女厨だったのか?)
「Of course! Of course all men are virgins! Virgins are the supreme being! All non-virgins before marriage should be thrown in jail!」
Norman spoke eloquently and passionately.
「This is a very rich virgin.」
(T/N: What the heck? これは中々、芳醇な処女厨じゃのう )
Marilyn chuckled.
「Norman-san. To be honest, I\'m pulling away.」
(T/N: 引いてしまいます)
Irene had a cold look in her eyes.
「…………」
I think Norman was trying to defend Irene. However, he was rejected by the girl in question.
Norman cleared his throat once and said, "I\'m sorry".
「Eei! Bring me some booze! I\'ll lose my memory!」
He began to gulp down the ale.
Irene begs the headmistress to magically erase her, and Norman drinks so much ale that his memory is blown.
The drinking party had turned into chaos.
「Kuu kuu kuu...... this is what a drinking party should be like?」
Marilyn herself, watching quietly like a god looking down on the people below.
☆
「Uppu, Oe」
(T/N: うっぷ。おえ)
「Norman, pull yourself together」
Outside the store.
It was late in the evening on the main street.
I lent my shoulders to the drunken Norman and walked with care.
「Guguu...... I\'m screwed. I\'ve lost my dignity as a teacher and Irene has completely fallen out of love with me.」
「Don\'t be so pessimistic. Your abilities as a wizard are solid. You\'ll have plenty of chances to redeem yourself.」
「Kaizer. You. You think you can stand on my shoulders......! After all the sarcastic responses I\'ve been getting from you......!」
(T/N: I may mistranslate this sentence カイゼル。貴様。私の肩を持ってくれるというのか……! あれだけ私が嫌みな対応をとり続けたのに……!)
「People don\'t feel good when things are going well out there. I\'m sure I can understand how you feel. Besides...」
「Besides?」
「We\'re both teachers at the same magic academy, aren\'t we? We help each other.」
I smiled at Norman.
「Oh, Kaiser. My dear friend......! You\'re the only one who understands me......! It\'s not all bad out there.」
Norman said.
「Kaizer, let\'s go to the second bar. My treat.」
(T/N: 二軒目に行くぞ )
「Eh, Are you still drinking?」
「Of course. The night between men is long」
「Yare yare... It can\'t be helped. I\'ll go with you.」
(T/N: Raw: ……やれやれ。仕方ないな。付き合おう )
「That\'s the spirit.」
Under the moonlight, we walked to the second bar.
I drank with Norman until morning came.
