I’m Not Doing This With A Friend

<br />

Kun answered as if what I just said was unfair.

"Didn't you see me collapse from a heatstroke not too long ago?"

"You're not going to faint anymore."

"But I've already submitted my medical certificate. It's not like I'm completely better yet."

"If you say so, I have nothing more to say… So, does that mean your club time is completely free?"

"Yes."

"That's great. Our club actually only plays all day long. Come to this club room starting tomorrow."

"Can I do that?"

Kun and my gaze reached the back of Carson's head at the same time.

"Caon thinks it's better to do it openly in front of the club than the two of us meet after club time."

‘I feel a little sorry for Fjord.'

"That makes sense."

Kun stopped nodding and continued with a slightly darker expression.

"Leen. This may be a bit off topic, but Carson seems a bit overreacting to you, Leen…"

"I know."

"…"

"It's weirder if you don't know. And not just you, but all the students probably know this, right?"

"…Is that so?"

"I'll take care of it, so don't worry."

Maybe…

"I've looked at all parts of your hands to some extent. I'll just ask a few more questions, Kun."

"Yes."

I asked if he also sweats in other areas, and if so, how much compared to before.

As a result of various combinations, Kun's illness was progressing smoothly.

While nodding satisfactorily, I hardened for a moment.

"Huh?"

With my stiff expression, Kun carefully asked as if he felt something strange.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No. Hyperhidrosis and anemia are being treated well."

I was wondering if I should tell him this right now.

"The problem is…"

After pausing for a while, Kun, feeling frustrated, asked again as if to urge me to speak.

"What's going on? Are there any other problems with my body?"

I gently pressed his shoulders and calmed him down. There was nothing good about listening excitedly.

"Kun. First of all, please note that I am not a doctor and cannot make an accurate diagnosis. So I'm not sure yet."

"How much, how serious…"

"Sigh."

Perhaps it was because the surroundings were quiet, I could clearly hear Kun swallowing his saliva.

I clasped my chin with both hands. Then he was sentenced with my most serious expression.

"Listen carefully, Kun You have 70 years left at the most."

"…What?"

Kun's face darkened.

The average life expectancy of ordinary people who have not trained in Mana is around 70 years old.

People who trained Mana used to live smoothly even at the age of 100, but so was the average life expectancy of ordinary people.

In other words, the fact that there are 70 years left in Kun's current age means that he will live a long life.

Oh… Since he said his half elf, will he have a longer life span?

Kun, who had been agonizing over the meaning of what I said for a long time, only moved his eyes stiffly when he heard a strange noise nearby.

As Fjord turned his head his shoulder slightly trembled, Kun met his gaze.

The place where Kun looked was Fjord,

He held his earplugs tightly in his hand like he didn't know when he took them out.

Very tightly…

Kun let out a small sigh as he relaxed his body, like he had finally figured out the situation at that time.

"I was fooled."

I looked at him with a confused expression and smiled softly.

"Oh, I don't know what it was, but you misunderstood what I said. I was just saying you'll live a long life."

"No matter how many times I think about it, it's awesome!"

"Woah! calm down."

I pressed down on Hans's shoulder.

He had been in that state for several days after hearing the explanation of the antiperspirant I asked him to sell.

"There's a store in the Academy Shopping Center that often deals with the top. First, let's release a small amount there."

"Do you want to sell it for a test?"

"Yes. There's a price range, but at our age, we're actually the most interested in appearance, so it won't be bad to see the reaction of each buyer."

"Okay. I don't know much about that, so you take care of it."

Hans looked thrilled when I asked him to take care of it. Then he politely bowed his head.

It was a fairly exaggerated gesture.

"I don't know much about herbal medicine, but I've been taught this way. Hehe."

"…You're in the same herbal medicine department as me."

Hans scratched his head awkwardly.

"In fact, I wanted to go to the business administration department, but I came here because I didn't have enough grades."

"…"

The herbal medicine department had a lower cut line than other subjects because it was a very unpopular subject.

I thought there would be some, just like Hans who came to the Department of Herbal Medicine just to enter the academy.

However, when I saw such a person in front of me, I felt depressed.

Why don't people know the charm of medicinal herbs? Where else could there be such a practical science?

Right, I'll just look at Hans with shrouded eyes from now on.

He was startled and made excuses.

"It's because my other grades are a little low, but I'm good at management and accounting, so don't worry! I'll take responsibility and sell it at a higher price!"

I wasn't worried about that. I swallowed a sigh that filled my throat and got up from my seat.

"There's someone who will help me make the antiperspirant, so I think I can give it a little earlier than expected."

"Really? Can I help you?"

"No. You'll be crushed right away if you get caught between them."

"Crushed?"

"There's something like that."

"Huh?"

"Then I'll go first."

"Oh, see you later, boss!"

I laughed as I watched Hans saluting with each holding posture and headed to the club room.
