Chapter 32: I Became a Vampire Professor at the Academy (Part 1)

A suffocating silence follows.

I distorted my face strangely, looking at Charle, who was staring at me as if she would pierce a hole in my face, and

then at Leticia, who was smiling as if this situation was hilarious.

I screamed inwardly at the situation that had changed in an instant.

‘What do you want me to do!’

If I honestly confess here, it would be suicide.

The quest is already saying that I might be imprisoned and obsessed over by the heroines for the rest of my life, so is

it possible that Charle isn’t one of the heroines?

No.

Absolutely not.

My gut feeling tells me that it’s absolutely not the case.

I could tell from my experience with the system and this game so far.

It was a reality I didn’t want to believe, that Charle was definitely one of the heroines.

What is this, a world where there are masters who love their disciples!

We, well, it’s not necessarily impossible for a master and disciple to be in love, but even so, shouldn’t the relationship

between a master and disciple be more like family than lovers?

Family.

Yes, Charle and I are family.

Since I and Leticia took care of that child from a young age when Charle was forced to come out to the battlefield and

fight, it was natural for her to have affection and love for me.

But it shouldn’t be love as a man, as the opposite s*x.

I already have a lover.

Leticia alone is enough for me.

So I don’t need heroines.

I’m satisfied with just Leticia, and honestly, it’s overwhelming.

Just then, a selection window appeared in front of my eyes.

[Choose a statement that fits this situation.]

[1. Master…? No. We’re meeting for the first time today, so there must be some misunderstanding. I came to see your

sister purely for work.]

[2. You’re Charle, who is called the North’s Greatest Sword. It’s an honor to meet you. May I ask for your

autograph?]

[3. I’m sorry. I, I don’t know you. I don’t know who your master is. Leticia and I are friends, and she seems to have

played a mischievous prank. Ah! I’m Charlotte Cyclamen, newly employed as Leticia’s assistant at the academy this

time.]

Hmm.

There are no particularly appealing options.

If I had to choose a decent option, it would be 1 and 2, but if Charle asks what she’s doing coming to see her sister, I

have nothing to say, so it would be better to pass on 1.

Then, it’s 3…but should I try 2, thinking of aiming for an unexpected opening?

If I approach her as a fan, I might be able to lower her guard…hmm, is this method self-destruction?

After  worrying for a moment, I chose 3.

“I’m sorry. I, I don’t know you. I don’t know who your master is. Leticia and I are friends, and she seems to have

played a mischievous prank. Ah! I’m Charlotte Cyclamen, newly employed as Leticia’s assistant at the academy this

time.”

“…Huh?”

“Ah. My sister’s friend and new assistant? I see. ……What?! Assistant?! My sister has an assistant?!”

“Yes. It seems that Leticia didn’t tell you much. Well, that’s her personality, so it can’t be helped. I’m newly in charge

of physical training at the academy this time. It’s an honor to meet you, Charle-nim, the North’s Greatest Sword.”

The words came out like flowing water.

It’s hard to lie once, but it’s not hard twice.

Leticia’s face crumpled as I smiled with a straight face.

Seeing her looking at me with an expression that asked how I could do that, it seemed that I had won this time.

Then Charle grabbed my arm and asked anxiously.

“I don’t know what kind of whim made her suddenly get an assistant, but are you really okay? She’s my sister, but

she’s not a kind person to have as an assistant!”

At those words, Leticia, who had been smiling, quickly stiffened her face and asked with a bewildered expression.

“Hey, Charle. What does that mean, naturally and subtly dissing me since earlier?”

“Besides, my sister’s friend! I never knew my sister had friends other than the Hero-nim, the Saintess-nim, and the

Divine Archer-nim! What’s so good about a wizard with such a perverse personality?”

“Are you not listening to me right now? And isn’t your evaluation of your sister too harsh?!”

She’s lightly ignoring me. Charlotte let out a hollow laugh.

Charle, who completely ignored Leticia’s words, looked at me as if she were looking at a pitiful person, with genuine

concern. It was like looking at a poor and pathetic pig just before being taken to the slaughterhouse.

If you look at me with such a pitiful gaze, Leticia will become pitiful. I smiled soullessly, looking at Leticia, who was

shaking my shoulder.

“When did…! My sister make friends without me knowing…! It’s a good thing, but of all people, with someone like

my sister. Ah. What sin did you commit in your past life to be friends with someone like my sister…”

“Charle? What do you mean by that? What’s wrong with me.”

“So you don’t know, that’s the problem. Seriously. You did some strange experiment again, didn’t you? I still

remember that man running out of the lab crying.”

“It was legal. That man also agreed to it, and it was entirely that man’s fault. I only have Damian, but he dared to like

me without knowing his place. If he had obediently served as an experimental subject and assistant, I wouldn’t have

kicked him out.”

“What do you mean by experimental subject! How many times do I have to tell you that my sister is the wise person of  the hero’s party, not a crazy psycho wizard!”

“It’s a misunderstanding. I just wanted to purely research, you know? Charle. You know. In order to summon

Damian, who lives in another dimension, to this side, it was an indispensable experiment.”

There were injuries, but there were no deaths. Leticia added.

“I didn’t cause any innocent victims through my research. My friends looked at me disapprovingly, but they didn’t

reprimand me. Charle. At that time, I could have committed any taboo if I could bring Damian back to this world.”

Moreover, the radical experiments were done on garbage that no one in the world would care about even if they died,

so is that really a problem? Huh? Charle. Leticia’s calm yet cold voice rang in my ears.

“If I didn’t have that much determination, I wouldn’t have even tried from the beginning.”

I looked at the sisters who were engaged in a subtle war of nerves with their mouths wide open. What day is today? I

see a lot of strange scenes. She was a small child who always had her spirits down and couldn’t even talk back in

front of her sister. But now that child is talking back to Leticia and reprimanding her sister.

Should I consider this a good change? Still, it’s good that the relationship between the sisters seems happy, unlike

before. At least happiness is much better than apathy.

Of course, the subject of the conversation was a little strange, but the conversation between the sisters was out of my

interest now.

“……And it was in the past.”

“Sister.”

“I was a little out of my mind back then, but you know that I don’t do that anymore, Charle. …Honestly, there’s no

reason to.”

“…There’s no reason to?”

“Yes. I’ve already gotten the result I wanted.”

Glancing. Leticia, who smiled at me, quickly erased the smile from her face.

I don’t know if she thought Charle wouldn’t believe it if she explained my identity at present, or if it was simply a

tantrum against her sister who didn’t believe her, but Leticia naturally changed the subject.

“Should I say that I’ve vented my frustration? Anyway, that’s not very important, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“…?”

“There are plenty of opportunities. Rather, you’ll regret not saying it now when time passes.”

The last words were for me, not for Charle.

As Leticia said, if the day comes when my identity is revealed to Charle, I know what kind of reaction Charle will

show. She might look at me with a betrayed expression, or she might say harsh words like how could I do that, or I

might see Charle’s face distorted as if she were crying.

I might not be able to handle it.

If Charle is really one of the heroines, having one more Leticia is…I can’t handle it, definitely. It’s overwhelming with

just Leticia, but more? It’s death. I imagined the future where I would be dragged around as they wished.

Chaaaarlotte. Where are you going? Without my permission.

Per, permission? Am I a dog?! To go out with your permission every time!

A dog. You’re a very cute and special dog, my lover. You’re barking now. And you’re wearing the collar I gave you.

…Hey!

What.

……Nothing. I’m sorry, Leticia

Honorifics. And call me Master.

…I’m sorry. Leti…Master.

Good.

….
……No. At least Charle will be different.

Master? Where are you going?

Charle?

It’s time for me to monopolize Master. We promised not to let even my sister touch you during this time…are you trying to run away?

You’re out of your mind….

Are you not? Master. I’m holding back a lot, unlike my sister, but don’t you want to be healthy today? Yes?

……The Charle I knew was kind and pure, but where did a snake come from?

Hehe. It’s all the heart of a disciple who loves Master. In that sense, I want to try a special play today, is that possible,

Master?

…Crazy. Get away from me.

Oh, Master. It sounds like I did something bad.

You did!

Crazy.

Charle’s side is a little less spicy, but both sisters were dangerous. I looked at the two women fighting in front of me

with blurred eyes, imagining my future being squeezed and worn out.

Why doesn’t my life go smoothly?

“My name is Charlotte Cyclamen, and I will be teaching physical training today instead of Leticia. Nice to meet you.”

Anyway, I stood in front of the little ones.
