Chapter 57 – Lydia Is Bad

“Looks like I’m back after a long time… “

Actually, it’s true that she’s coming back after a long time.

Originally, she planned to go back every week, but she had to get used to the dormitory and academy, and she had to study, so she stayed only in the dormitory, so she didn’t have a chance to come to the convent.

She barely managed to come back after a long time, so what…

Even so, she won’t be around for long and will have to go back to the academy…

“Still, I have to meet Lydia… “

There is a reason why she dared to come back to the convent, out of the dormitory, where she could get a good meal and live comfortably.

Because she has to meet Lydia after a long time.

“What is Lydia trying to do… “

Well, since she is in the position of chief nun, she probably teaches nuns, but…

If, when I was around, she spent most of her time tending to me, now she really is the head of a convent.

“Nothing has changed from before.”

It’s only natural that it’s only been a few weeks.

But somehow the plan is going well, so you’ll just have to be patient a little longer.

Apparently, they heard that I am friendly to the Empire, and they seem to be trying to reconnect with us.

And I liked that the reason I became friendly with the empire again was because of him, and his share increased considerably.

What am i… I didn’t want to do that because I hate talking about politics like that, but it hurts my head.

“Lydia? Are you inside?”

When I called him like this, he usually answered right away.

Unlike before, when she was in the role of helping me, she was a simple nun now, so of course there was no way she would answer as soon as I called.

Now that it’s like this, I’ll have to go find it myself.

If it’s time, I’ll be making lunch…

“I can go to the kitchen… It won’t be necessary.”

I hope you will find me right away.

“Saint… Uh, when did you come… ?!”

“I just arrived, so don’t worry too much.”

Rather, I was surprised that it came much sooner than I expected.

“How have you been? It hasn’t been that long since I last left, so maybe I should have asked… “

I said that and smiled awkwardly.

“That… How’s the saintess doing?”

“Yes, yes. Teaching students was harder than I thought, but… Still, I had fun doing it.”

What.

It must’ve been a while since we last met, but why does it feel so awkward?

It was not just me, Lydia seemed to have an awkward atmosphere.

If this continued, it was obvious that the conversation would not continue properly and would continue to hesitate with each other.

“Shall we go to the room first?”

At this point, it wouldn’t be bad to have a proper conversation and come out and talk to each other as long as the two of you are together.

“If there is still work to be done, it doesn’t matter if you finish it all and come.”

“Oh, no, it will be fine. These are children who do well even without me.”

Lydia said so and she followed me into my room.

I didn’t invite you to talk about something so important, so if you have work left, you don’t have to come in…

Well, Lydia will take care of this, so it’ll be fine.

After entering the room, I looked around and sat down on the bed, immersed in the scenery of my room, which I hadn’t seen in a long time.

When I went to the dormitory, I brought a lot of things with me, so it was subtly empty.

Did I take too much…

I’ll have to bring some things with me the next time I get back home.

I feel like I need to say something, but when I try to say something, I worry about what to say.

So, since she could sit still and pass the time without even starting a conversation, Lydia, who was worse off, spoke to her first.

“How does it feel to teach students?”

“I feel like teaching… “

To be honest, I felt pretty good.

What… Because I’m a saint, I don’t have the feeling that I’m being held up by the students, although I do…

When I see students who listen to my story diligently, I think that I should teach them diligently.

“Should I say that I enjoyed it? Originally, I was always taught, but it was strange that I was in a position to teach someone.”

“It’s always like that when you teach someone for the first time. I’m used to it.”

It will.

Because what I do every day is to teach the nuns who are not yet accustomed to work and to inspect what they are doing.

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is not much to do, but no position in the convent has the most work as the nun.

In the first place, I had to check and give feedback on all the work of the many nuns who exist in the convent, but there is no way that there is not much to do.

That’s pretty great.

“Aside from that, it was also difficult to use my knowledge to teach students what I originally knew about theology.”

In particular, I really didn’t know what to do about that part, so I had to ask the instructor who originally taught me about theology.

Fortunately, the instructor taught me well.

Thanks to that, am I not teaching well as I have never taught anyone?

Honestly, if it wasn’t for that teacher, I wouldn’t have been able to teach this well.

The reason I came to the academy was to get closer to the Empire, so I didn’t have the perception that I had to teach students well, so I almost got into trouble with my preparation belatedly.

“Really… Didn’t I tell you that you should be prepared in case something like this happens?”

“It was… “

I know…

I have nothing to say.

At first, I was just thinking that I could teach well.

Rather than worrying about teaching, I was in the midst of looking for a way to get acquainted with the square right away.

As the time for me to teach approached, I began to worry about how to teach.

It was true that I acted complacently, so I had no excuses.

“Anyway, since you’re in the position of teaching someone, you have to do it with a sense of responsibility.”

“I know… “

In response to my answer, Lydia, who had a stern expression on her face just before, smiled and laughed.

“Whoops… It’s been a long time since we met, but I can’t keep scolding you.”

“Yes… ?”

“I want to ask you how life is at the academy… I’ve always lived in a convent, so I don’t know what it’s like outside.”

Oh, I bet.

If so, let’s try to explain it as fun as possible.

I’m not really good with words, so I’m not sure if it’ll be fun, but I’ll try to give it as much fun as I can.

“Then I should first explain what the first class was like.”

I said that and started explaining.

How long have you been talking

At first, I tended to talk awkwardly because I was worried about how to say it in a fun way, but as I got more focused, I started to talk naturally.

After talking for a while, the atmosphere became ripe.

“I hope you enjoyed it… “

Lydia continued to smile and listen to my whole story.

At that point, the facial muscles are sore.

Oh, not this…

“That… Actually, there is a reason I called to talk.”

To my words, Lydia replied with a smile.

“I know. I also followed because I wanted to talk.”

Oh I knew that too

“I didn’t invite you to have a serious talk like that… I just wondered if it would be better to let go now… “

Isn’t it a little strange that they’ve gone as far as being called by name, but haven’t gone any further than that?

Wouldn’t it be better to start by talking plainly to each other in order to get closer from now on?

What… The first thing I did was…

When I saw something on Lydia’s face, I got embarrassed and turned her head away.

Whenever I see Lydia’s face, I remember what happened back then…

“I think it’s fine. If the saintess allows it… “

“Can you do that without asking? How long have you been together… And then again… “

Oops, did I just mention it?

Lydia also turned her head in embarrassment.

What to do

I felt like I had become a real pervert these days.

‘Goddess… He told me to do this freely, so it’s okay?’

No, she’s like that, but what about being a bitch?

Lydia who acts like a bitch is bad.

The atmosphere seems to be good, so let’s try it once.

“Well, then… That… Maybe she can help me paint… Will there be?”

“Ah… Note… Uh… However much… “

Ah.

I can’t stand it.
