Chapter 81 – Memories of First Love

Episode 81: Memories of first love

Now, if I have to say it one more time, Master is my first love.

And it was my first girlfriend, my first woman.

First kiss, first night.

All my first experience was a woman who took it all.

So, my standard of dating was formed around Master.

How to date
How to kiss
How to spend the night with a girl.
How to be kind.
How to express love and so on.

I learned everything from Master.

* * *

I still remember the first time I met Master when I was young.

I held my mother’s hand and knocked on the door of the magic school, but there was no way that a Korean-American family could afford such expensive tuition.

Then, after the First War for the Defense of the Fatherland, he visited Nene Boulanger, a rising new star magician.

[I don’t raise disciples.]

[Even the very basics are good, so what if my child’s beginner magic science doesn’t work… ?]

I remember the image of her mother bowing down and begging for her.

And the image of Master putting his hand on the beads and testing various things on me.

And… Master’s eyes sparkled just as much when he saw the shining beads.

On the day of the visit, Master completed everything from testing to blood collection.

In particular, seeing Master take my blood and come out after the blood test was exciting.

[Kuhm.
Then I will teach you basic magic.]

[Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Camus, boy.
My son!
I have to say hello to the teacher!]

[Hello Teacher!]

[Oh my, she is very cheerful and pretty.
Hey, I’m Nene Boulanger, who will teach you from today.
Please take good care of me.]

[Please take care of me too!
Pretty teacher!!]

[Oh my gosh!!
Sir, sorry!
When my child sees a pretty girl, she loses her mind…]

[No, Mother.
The child is very bright and strong.]

Master, who was very young at the time, became the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings at the time.

Even considering the racial characteristics of demons with a very long period of youth, everyone was agitated by the unusually young demon’s rise to the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings.

[… Is that your Boulanger?]

[I’m going to go to a beauty pageant.
Annoying…]

In terms of human beings, a girl in her late teens overtook prominent figures and rose to the position right below the king.

There must be a lot of gossip.

It’s a bit older than Rumika’s current age.

Dissatisfaction with the speedy promotion of a seemingly too young girl erupted here and there.

How many people must have been jealous and envious?

However, the Boulanger family was a family with quite a bit of power in the first place, and Nene was the only heir to the Boulanger family, whose other heirs had all died in the war.

And that time was right after she showed her ability in the war.

[Hi!
I’m half dark grid!]

The young Four Heavenly Kings soon gathered disciples.

Competing and training each other, the number of disciples increased.

Illusion, sorcery, hypnosis, chemistry, magic…

Talented people from various fields of study and practice are nurtured.

I was a standout student in a slightly different sense.

[Kamu, why don’t you turn into a wizard other than a hypnotist?]

[Why, teacher?!]

[A hypnotist is necessarily a schemer.
You have to be cool, cruel, and insidious.
But you are too indecisive, no, you are a warm person.]

[No no!
I want to be a hypnotist!]

[Then just learn magic.
Why hypnotism?]

[Hehe… This is actually a secret…
Listen to me..!
Actually (slightly) I heard the teacher worry that there is no one learning hypnotism these days.
I’m good at hypnotism, so I’ll always be next to the prettiest teacher in the world!
… Sir, why are you crying?
What did I do wrong
Sorry… ]

[… No, it’s not like that…
Thank you.
Would you like to come and hug the teacher?]

[Haehe, teacher, I love you.
I will definitely marry the teacher when I grow up!]

[Okay. Thank you.]

I was the only one among my classmates who chose hypnotism as their major.

Fierce competition, rigorous training, and boring studies.

Neither of them melted.

Still, it seemed that all the hardships were washed away with just one smile from Master.

And the day when I turned 20 and had a coming-of-age ceremony.

I confessed to my master.

[Master!
I’m an adult now!
I love you so much!
Please go out with me!!]

[Oh, you still remember.
Um yeah
Shall we go on a date?]

At first, I think you thought it was just a date play with a kid.

I was politely rejected on the way home from our first date.

[Sorry, Camus.
You are a student and I am a teacher.
You’re a very good student, and as you grow up, you’ll be able to meet a lot of younger and nicer girls around you.]

[But there is no better woman than Master…]

[Thank you for looking at me so well and for liking me.
But… Sorry.
I hope you have a good teacher-student relationship.]

He was so sullen that he met his classmates and also met other nobles and commoners.

However, since my heart is still with Master, there is no way the date will go well.

[What are all these bastards?!]

Damn!

[Can’t remember my name right?
That’s rude.]

Every date we went on was very different.

… It’s self-employed.

If you face a demon in his twenties, he is barely at the level of entering the tournament.

A baby with soft downy hair.

Master just changed the title of ‘Teacher’ to ‘Master’.

The way they treated me was the same.

I wanted to look good to my master.

My parents had expectations of me, but more than that, I wanted to satisfy Master.

Platoon commander. Company commander. Battalion commander.

Go to tribune elections.

In the process, I met Ran and met other friends.

Then one day.

I still remember.

A teacher whom I met after a long time after working outside for a while.

Master had bountiful purple hair down to her waist, and she had taken off her wizard’s hat and was wearing a dignified red coat.

The way I wished for my teacher who was returning from the conference.

It was a snowy winter night.

[Camyu, I’m stronger than you, why are you taking me?]

[Just… I want to be with you a little longer.]

There were times when I was so upset because I felt like I was still looking at me as a young student.

I’m a guy too…

[Hey, have you still not abandoned your attachment to Master?
Hit it
Let’s date the two of us.]

[Shut up, you bastard.
Van Dark you bastard, please give up on me.
Hey Ballack.
I’m going to the bathroom, so while I’m gone, watch this bastard don’t get anything in her drinking glass.]

[Hey Camu.
But now, even if you have a heart, fold it.
My father, or my teacher, said that she was a woman and that she died with someone she couldn’t kiss.
It means that a person who is biologically rejected will never be accepted.
When I see you, you’re already dead and you won’t be able to wake up.]

[Is it… ?]

[Yeah, right.
Right, Adolf?]

[Right right!
I’ve been attached to you since I was very young, I’m just a kid who just hardened into an ash-kid image?
Feeling like a nephew?
You have to look like a man, there is no answer to showing difficulties!
Waiting to meet a man who can rely on gas or gas!
That’s why it’s nothing to do with confessing more.
Aren’t you, Ran?]

[That’s right.
And continuing to confess to the other party who refuses can be punished according to the special law related to stalking punishment recently legislated at the tribal meeting.
You are breaking the law now.
Even if you do not chase, attempts to confess more than 3 times are subject to fines according to the punishment of minor crimes…]

[Hey.
I mean, that’s the principle.
Don’t mind too much
Hey Ran.
Don’t you fucking care?
He’s crying.]

[What am I?]

I remember the conversation we had at a drinking party, so I just walked around without saying anything on a winter night.

Instead of words, only the sound of stepping on the snow is heard.

Wouldn’t Master just see me as an outstanding student?

I didn’t want to confess again.

I thought that if I was kicked once, shouldn’t I be cool now?

I didn’t want to look messy.

The heart I like is the same, but I’m tired of being hurt anymore.

I’m just tired of unrequited love.

I know it won’t work, but I’m tired of catching it.

I wanted to be a bad guy and I wanted to live my life wrong.

And even a guy like me is a disciple, a master who gives full support.

Confessing to such a person again is rather an act of tormenting him.

Because my liking can hurt Master.

… I think what Balak or Ran said is right.

Today is really the last.

Let’s just give up after seeing Master’s face. It was a snowy winter night while walking with that thought.

[Hey, what’s going on?]

[… No.]

[… Why don’t you say anything
Your expression is scary today.]

[… You always talk a lot about me.]

[What is it, have you reached puberty now?
Oh gu oh gu my disciple, puberty came late~?]

[… Stop goofing around now.
I don’t like this anymore.]

[Kamuya… ?]

[I’m not angry.
Just… I’m in a bit of a mood today.
… Please go in carefully.]

In front of Master’s lab door.

I’m about to let Master in, but Master grabs my hand.

[Disciple.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Why?
Did I make you sad today?]

[No.
I’m sorry for all this time.
It must have been really burdensome for me to follow Master…
As an adult, thank you so much for accepting me without getting hurt.]

[… What are you really doing today?
Shall we go on a picnic tomorrow?
Shall we go on a date?]

[No.
It’s really okay.
I’ll just go in.]

The moment I turned around, Master grabbed my hand from behind.

My hands were cold, and Master’s hands were really warm.

Look me straight in the eyes and say

Guilty? Shiver? Excitement?

I don’t know what.

She is the one who speaks with trembling eyes.

[If you go back like this, I… You will feel so bad.
We haven’t seen each other in a really long time.]

Take a deep breath.

It’s really, really the last one.

Just this one time.

Let’s confess just one more time.

It’s a difference, let’s clear our minds.

I really like her and I don’t want to burden her with her.

Happily, let’s meet a better man.

Is it because the spirit is too much?

It became unnecessarily excessive.

Thud!

I pushed Master to the front door of the lab and pressed against the wall with one hand.

A legendary technique taught by Adolf, wall-crawling!

[Mind! Don’t be shy, hit the wall! Point it out!!
Thud! When you do it, gas or heart thump! A child?!]

… Of course, after talking about it, I ate a lot of swearing from other friends.

If you don’t build it up, you will be reported.

But I did it out of excitement without even realizing it…

[… Ka, Kamu?]

[Nene Blanche.
I really… I love you.
Like you said, I’ve met other girls, but I can only think of you.
… There is no better woman in the world than you.]

[Uh, uh… That, that…]

It’s the first time I’ve seen Master so flustered.

He couldn’t even make eye contact, and he wrung his hands together in front of his chest and only intertwined his fingers.

… Ruined.

Master no, Nene bowed her head and blushed.

And I carefully raise my head…

[Camus, I… I actually like you too
If it’s okay for a lady like me, would you like to meet us?]

[… Yes?]

What is this?

Did I lose my head while having a crush?

Do I listen to nonsense because it’s cold?

And the aunt

If you hide your horns, you’d think I’m a lively human woman in my 20s.

Who would dare to call an ajumma to Nene, the Four Heavenly Kings?

Authority is authority, beauty is beauty, wealth is wealth.

[Everyone will curse at me because it’s a teacher-teacher relationship, but…
I’m the one who was married once, so I’m going to curse you, but…
Me too, Kamyu, I like you as a woman.
If it’s okay with you right now…
Can’t we meet once more… ?]

What is this…

I accepted it while crying out loud, with the feeling that if it’s a dream, please don’t wake up.

[Kyathooh!!!!
A lot of luck~~!!!
I am happy!!!!
Everyone, be happy too!]

[Hey. Kamyu, what kind of medicine did that bastard take, is he dumbbelling while training in the cold weather?
Balak, did you bring me the berserk medicine?]

[No. I don’t know either.
Oh it’s cold…
Hey Adolf, do you know something?]

[Write… It’s fucking cold…
Shopkeepers These days, we go out, we go out, we go around muttering.
… I guess I finally got a good taste.
This is all because of you.
Don’t, punish the girl you had a crush on at the last drinking party. .]

[What am I.
The law is the minimum morality.
Violation is…]

[… That’s it, dude.]

I couldn’t believe it.

Please don’t wake me up if it’s a dream!!!

I am the happiest demon in the world!!!!!

What after that…

The golden age of my life.

If I could go back in time, I would go back without hesitation.

Just holding Master’s hand makes me feel tingly.

Even the roads I have always walked seem new.

Dating was fun, and every day was delicious.

[Master, I brought a packed lunch.
Would you like to try this?]

[Wow, you made this?!
Really pretty
Yogurt. I want to try this.]

[Ah, do it. Oh~]

[Boo, embarrassing…]

[There is no one here by the river, so what is it?
Ah~~]

[Ah, ah~~]

Finally, finally my dream came true.

I feel like I have everything in the world.

But things in the world are not easy.

The gaze around me made me sharper without realizing it.

[Oh my, is that the young concubine that the fire fox is taking with her?]

[At most, he’s trying to use it as a seedling.]

‘Who dares to wear the crown, bare its weight.’

It was a hot topic in Changan that the beautiful Four Heavenly Kings, Nene, took a disciple as her lover.

I now decided to hone my abilities to protect Master’s honor.

[Hmph, Franz!?
On the topic of commoners who have never heard of it.
Did you try to get ahead by enticing your teacher?]

[That’s not it, wasn’t that fire fox raising her young lover herself and eating her?
These days, parents are cracking down on teachers.]

Rumors like that can’t stop my love!!!

I ran for the tribune election again and was elected, and with Ran, I made various policies and legislative proposals and gradually made my name known.

Then I remember the shy first kiss on the way to the lab.

[Haam… Side. Kamuu…]

Like the warm spring sunlight, her lips came down on mine and melted them.

The way we shyly walked hand in hand.

We kissed again for a long time in front of the lab.

[Camus, camus.
Love you…]

Hugging her, wrapping her around her back…

Her hand goes down…

They wanted each other intensely.

The day when it rained while we were on a date, so we hurriedly escaped to Master’s laboratory.

[Oh wow, it suddenly rains.
Kyahaha! Are we all wet?!
It’s like a drowning mouse!]

It was raining and her white dress was all wet, Master’s figure was reflected.

… The look of the flashy black underwear inside the dress through the see-through.

[Yes yes.
… So pretty.]

[Because it’s cold… Can you hug me?]

The first night we met after taking off our clothes and hanging them over the fireplace to dry.

[Ka, Mew!!
Ha, I love you!
Whoa! I love you… !!]

[Yes yes. Haha, I really, really, really love you too!]

What after that… Sesame seeds spilled

Even now, if I were to pick the happiest times, I’m sorry for Rumika, but I’ll pick those days.

Years passed, and while discussing a serious relationship between the two, they quarreled a little, and fought like any other couple.

Still, though… They were still passionately in love with each other.

Then one day.

[Sorry. I’m so sorry, Camus.
… Let’s break up.]

[Yes… ?
That is… What do you mean?]

[We… Let’s stop meeting
Again, let’s go back to the priest-sister relationship.]

I cried and cried and screamed.

I told him what I did wrong and he would fix it, that I still love you, and so on, but to no avail.

[Then… Then… You can’t just come up with a reason and tell me… ?
Me… I really don’t get it.
So, just tell me any reason.]

[… I hate seeing you eat.]

On that day, my mentality was shattered.

Is it that first love never comes true?

[Hey!
Kamyu jumped into the lake!!]

[Who is that guy going to save him?!]

[Ran!
Also… Aww!
Doesn’t even Ran sink?!?!]

[That kid is so nasty.
Let it die.]

[Michelle, shut up Nin!
Mind!
Go and call Balak!
The tallest child!!]

[Hey!
Throw anything!
Aren’t there any bastards not wearing armor?!]

It also caused a lot of trouble.

Then, when she saw an advertisement for tutor recruitment for Rumika, she raised her hand.

It was after the civil war ended and the demon king purged the demon king’s bloodline for succession work.

To prevent the rise of nobles.

It was a time when a young tutor was looking for a young tutor with a poor family background but a lot of knowledge.

I was perfect for that condition, and that’s how I met Rumika.

* * *

… I can soothe and calm Master.

It’s a long time to live in the world.

We go back into the tower and sit in Master’s bedroom.

Master trembles like a cat in the rain.

In this case, let’s calm down with the breathing method that Jacques taught us.

“Master, inhale and exhale slowly.
Inhale and exhale again.”

Master is barely calming himself with his hand over his heart.

Sup… Whoa… Sup… Whoa…

“Right, right.
Good job.
We guys are nice~”

“Wait, what is that?”

“Oh, you guys are so strong~
Oh, be proud~”

“… Are you kidding me now?”

“Now you know?
Seeing you glaring at me, you’re fine.
Wait.
I will bring you tea.”

Go down to the refreshment room on the first floor and prepare hot tea and tea cups.

I put it on a tray and open the door to Master’s bedroom…

“Uh… ?”
