ALL NOVEL chapter 12
Episode 12. roommate
He took off his suit and put it on the Mint student’s shoulder.
“ah?”
“What do you know? Stay still.”
The Mint student kept flinching, probably because he was holding four thick books in his arms.
“I can’t even stand still. Put your left arm in here.”
“Yeah?”
“What are you? You are the most frustrating student I have ever seen.”
I took the Mint student’s hand and inserted my left arm into the suit.
She added her right arm as well, so she had a much longer sleeve to cover her hand.
‘Will my hands get less cold this way?’
As a result, the Mint student, who had become quite comical, was still looking up at me with bewildered eyes.
Apparently, he fell asleep in the library. Are you sleeping less? why can’t you be so sharp
“Um, this… ?”
“Return the clothes in such a way that no one sees them as much as possible. 3 penalty points for each person who sees you holding this conquest.”
“Ah yes… .”
“Did you say you were in the library until now?”
“Yeah.”
“Excellent. Studying until late at night alone like this isn’t easy.”
“ah… .”
“You worked hard. So that tomorrow, as well as today, I can devote myself to my studies. It’s cold, so go inside.”
Huh, because I’m wearing only a Polati without an outerwear. A little… . is it very cold
I don’t have to worry about others, I have to go in first.
‘… oh, it’s cold It must be very funny if I catch a cold like this.’
It wasn’t until it was time for Professor Ian to leave that Mina, who grasped the situation, called him without hiding her flushed face.
“I… . professor!”
“If you have something to say, come and do it next time. Just break up.”
Professor Ian left Mina without looking back.
‘I was told to go in quickly.’
Mina looked at Ian’s back for a long time, surrounded by Professor Ian’s uniform as if he was hugged from behind.
It was a pretty winter night with white snow wrapping her warmly.
* * *
Returning to the dormitory, Mina, still unable to calm her beating heart, arrived at the door of Room 2-17 with Professor Ian’s jacket tightly wrapped around her chest.
‘A lot of… Are you surprised?’
Harin, the roommate who went to take Professor Ian’s class together.
After using Unique Magic in the Great Hall today. Her eyes looking at her felt so unfamiliar that Mina ran away to Professor Ian.
‘ha… .’
I realized it only now that I held the doorknob in my hand. The reason he was holding on to the book until this late in the library, which he hadn’t been looking for in a while, was that he didn’t want to run into his roommates as much as possible.
Mina decided to accept the situation cleanly.
To my roommates, the changed me might look like a monster. Maybe we’ll get farther apart.
However, I cannot despair over this.
She decided to show her flight to those she left behind and to those who believed in her.
As if driven by emotion, Mina quickly opened the door to Room 2-17. A little light leaked in, but there was no squeaking sound.
‘Wouldn’t it be broken like this?’
Fortunately, everyone’s even breathing could be heard regularly. Mina let out a sigh of relief inwardly, and found her bed with cat steps.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see where she was. In the past, Mina and the rest of her roommates, even two or three, would sleep together in any bed and sleep together in the same bed.
‘but… . now.’
My heart hurt a little, but Mina stumbled to her place, trying her best to adjust her eyes to the darkness.
I accidentally bumped my toe on the edge of another bed in the room, and I barely arrived, shedding tears alone.
I hung up my clothes this morning, and it was clear that this was Mina’s bed, as it was still there.
Mina, who was so tired that she wanted to lie down before tidying up Ian’s coat, reached out and pulled back the blanket.
‘uh?’
Along with the blanket, someone’s soft thighs were touched.
‘What can I do, I guess it’s not here!’
“mina?”
From under the futon, I heard roommate Ji-on’s voice.
“mina! Are you here now?”
Other roommates greeted her on other beds, and Mina looked at Ji-on in a pink pajama with bewildered eyes.
“Zion? Why are you here… ?”
“originally. I was going to wait for you all together. But I don’t know when you’ll come. I thought we would all end up sleeping together, so one of them decided to wait in Mina’s bed.”
“You said you waited for me… ?”
“yes. If you come here and wake me up, then I’m supposed to wake everyone else up.”
“Why me-”
At that moment, Harin hugged Mina tightly from behind.
“Where have you been… !”
“Sorry, I thought you looked so surprised by that earlier.”
“I was surprised because it was so pretty! I really enjoyed coming to this school. If I hadn’t come here, I would have lived watching the eyes of seasick men and dead fish, right? Have you ever seen anything so pretty in my life?”
“You said it was pretty?”
“very! If I had done a little more there, I would have fallen for my friend… .”
“I-“
Then, another roommate intervened.
“Look at that. Harin, it’s because you didn’t say a word and just stared blankly at me. At times like that, you calm me down, and the other idiots are buzzing. You should have kept your mouth shut.”
“Boo… .”
“You were the only one there, what did you do? Mina must have been very surprised, but what if you get so mad? So, where would you like to be captain?”
“Sorry-!!!”
Harin hugged Mina tighter as she cried. Since Harin is a bit taller, Mina buried her head in something warm.
“No, it’s okay. It’s my fault. I didn’t say anything and ran out like that, and I was worried for no reason… .”
“I’m sorry dear… . I’m sorry… .”
Mina wanted to pat Harin, but she was completely buried and couldn’t move. The back of Mina’s neck was wet.
Harin’s tear glands are like the sea, and once they burst like this, there was no end.
“uh?”
Today, the crying stopped rather quickly, and once again Harin rubbed his face in Mina’s arms and said with a doubt.
“uh?”
“… ?”
“Uh huh?”
sniff sniff.
As soon as Harin started to smell it, goosebumps appeared all over Mina’s body.
“Why, why… . It tickles, don’t… .”
“Hmm?”
“no… . Is it not?”
“To Mina… .”
Harin finished with a voice that had never been heard before.
“A man?”
“Because it’s not!”
“My nose is correct. This must smell like a man, right?”
At that moment, Mina saw Ji-on’s eyes shining with something close to madness even in the dark of the night.
“Ohh… . Come to think of it, what is Mina holding right now?”
“Ahhh… .”
“Let’s see… . That’s what the person in charge of cleaning our room is holding. What is it? yes?”
All the other roommates woke up and approached Mina without saying a word, and Mina, who was completely surrounded, despaired.
Unique magic wasn’t a problem now.
‘Isn’t the biggest crisis in life right now… ?’
* * *
Room 2-17 is brightly lit until 3 am.
If caught by the dormitory superintendent on patrol, everyone would get 10 penalty points, but there’s no way there’s such a dormitory in the agoge dormitory who doesn’t sleep at dawn.
Mina, in the mood of a confession, explained everything to the other five roommates. I decided to keep the dropout story a secret from everyone, so except for that.
Professor Ian’s uniform was folded neatly on top of Mina’s leg.
“It happened.”

Ji-on, clad in a pink pajama, nodded while sitting cross-legged on Mina’s bed.
“I loved you… .”
“… what?”
“mina. He’s also successful as a wizard, and he’s on his way to a good place. But will you not forget the nights we spent together?”
“Where are you going!! And it’s not like that! I was just standing still, so you covered it!?”
“Right. Am I in control of this relationship? Priority is mine, right? That level of proficiency against an aristocratic professor… . I looked at you so easy Mina. As expected, she is the woman who stole my countless nights… .”
“why… . that’s how it will be… .”
“You don’t know why that happens? So, did you seduce the professor without even knowing it? As expected, Mina Spearmint is the only hope for No. 2-17… !”
At Ji-on’s praise(?), all the roommates giggled and tapped Mina’s shoulder, but Mina only looked around at the people around her with a puzzled face.
It was always difficult to follow what the kids were saying. Mina just wished the kids wouldn’t tell anyone about this, and only received a pat on the head.
By the way, it had been quite a while since the six members of room 2-17 gathered around the bed like this.
Because these days, when Mina was always depressed, this hadn’t happened. It’s been a while since I remembered my freshman year, and that’s when everyone was around Mina and loving her.
“You know- Minaneun-”
Yuka, who always wore a black hoodie instead of a robe and received penalty points from the supervisor and professor, broke the flow with a languid voice.
“You really don’t think that’s anything special?”
“It’s something special… ?”
“It is clear that he has a cold and picky personality… .”
“That… .”
“Looking at how she secretly asked for her clothes to be returned, she seemed to value face. You seem to want to show a strong side to the students, but I still hate the fact that you’re cold enough to give up all of that… ? Hmm… .”
“Isn’t that ‘something special’?”
Suddenly, Yuka took something out of her hoodie pocket and writhed, then finished talking.
“that’s… ! You would have thought it was bad manners if you just passed by! It was so cold.”
“Okay? is it… .”
At that time, Harin, who had been keeping her mouth shut for some reason, clapped her hands.
“ah! Then I saw something strange! Professor Ian, you kept calling Mina’s name during class!! They make a lot of announcements too! yes! It did!!”
“Look at that- is that so? That’s a distorted expression of affection… .”
“Ugh. Isn’t that person a pervert?”
“Zeon, you idiot.”
Harin dismissed it.
“That’s good.”
“… You are great too.”
“But- look at Mina’s expression from earlier… .”
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on Yuka again.
“You like it too much?”
At Yuka’s point, everyone observed Mina’s face, and soon after, Ji-on wiped away tears.
“I loved you… .”
“Stop it! No! I hate it like this Why do you keep trying to put it on!!”
“Mina. How many nights have we spent together, do you think I don’t know you? If you really hate it, you become terribly cold. look at your expression now I’ve never seen a face like that before… . How good-looking Professor Ian is… .”
Looking at Mina, who was blushing, everyone except her concluded.
‘This must have crossed the water.’
At that time, Carly, who had been quietly listening to the story of the trio, raised her hand to prevent overheating.
“for a moment. You guys seem to be thinking too well.”
Everyone shut their mouths for a moment.
Kali, who had spoken bitterly to Harin, who had stared at Mina in awe in the auditorium, stroked Mina’s hair once, as if she were looking at her as if she were a savior, and said,
“Mina, she has no dating experience.”
Everyone including Mina’s expression hardened.
“The eye that sees people is not something that can be cultivated so easily.”
When it comes to judging people, no one here took it as seriously as she did.
Her parents, who are commoners but quite wealthy, forced her to enter Kiruna.
Kali refuses all classes at school out of rebellion, but she doesn’t spend meaningless time at school.
‘Money and people. I’ll collect them.’
Carly’s remarks, which always keep these words in her mouth, have the most weighty atmosphere in #2-17… Everyone didn’t say anything and cooled off for a while.
Carly said, frowning more sharply for no reason, as if she was sorry for ruining the good mood.
“Perhaps, that Professor Ian might be a bitch trying to touch Mina’s innocent side.”
She was always like that. It’s warm, but it doesn’t hesitate to speak viciously.
“It’s OK if I’m handsome… .”
“Harin, then you have a big accident.”
“Aww… .”
It was quite bitter even for Mina, who was trying to get out of the confusion, but there was nothing wrong with Kali’s words.
Adding to that, Melia, the last roommate who had been listening to everyone’s conversation until now, said.
“If you get a dog in heat like that, we can filter it out from our line.”
Melia, who prefers to play alone quietly, also sat behind Mina and braided her hair, then suddenly opened her mouth.
It wasn’t often that Melia caught everyone’s attention in this way.
“Let’s all watch over Professor Ian. If, as Carly said, you seem like a professor who needs to retake home schooling, separate him from Mina for now.”
“Hmm. After that?”
“Then, let’s bury that trash, pervert professor. If you are a professor who picks out naive students and puts his hand on them, won’t they bite you even if we act?”
Melia clearly emphasized.
“This is to prevent other victim students from coming out. So, let’s not make a decision until we have proof to be sure that he is a pervert like Professor Bernieher last time.”
Hearing that, Carly shook her head a little.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not good at pretending to be naive. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do to help.”
“Carly, you have the most connections here. You are the best person among us to investigate someone.”
“Ohh… . dig your back? it… . It’s gonna be fun.”

Ji-on quickly came to a conclusion to stop the bloody two and drag on this fun thing that happened after a while.
“Okay then! All members of Mina Guard Unit 2-17, let’s examine and judge whether Professor Ian is a fresh Chollima or a mule about to die of old age. If you think she’s a decent person, I’ll support Mina, and if she doesn’t, I’ll punish her thoroughly!”
“It will be fun.”
“Gazua!”
“Yes-! It’s gonna be fun-!”
While the absurd decision was passed, Mina… I was petted by everyone without the slightest right to speak.
It’s already 4 in the morning. They showed no signs of getting tired. It was fortunate that tomorrow was a holiday.
“Uh, come to think of it, don’t you have to wash those clothes tomorrow and bring them back? I think I need to wash my eyes now.”
“Zeon, you idiot.”
“Why again?”
“Tomorrow is a holiday.”
“No, that’s-“
“You can hold on for a few more days with that excuse! Mina will be happy for a while~ I got a blanket to sleep well~”
This was the daily life of Agoge Dormitory Building 6, Room 2-17.

“Mister. I know that? According to a study by the Royal Society, when a noble and a commoner are married, the probability of divorce within three years is eight times higher than that of other couples.”
“Why are you telling me that… . Miss Meriel. stop and go to sleep. You can sleep now.”
“You know that too? Couples with an age gap of more than 10 years are four times less likely to be happy than other couples. This is also the result of a Royal Society study. Turned off two years ago.”
“You kept talking about something, were you talking about Mint students? Hey, do you think I took off my coat for a student? I’m not that kind of trash.”
“Your eyes are dark. Honey dripping?”
“No, it is extraordinary. When I tell them to study, the ones who really work hard look the best. And, if the kid is that cold, would anyone other than me have done that?”
“huh. transformation. That’s all it takes to take someone’s coat off? If you really think that way, I can understand why you are still an old bachelor.”
“I really had no idea.”
“Old bachelor. transformation. Fool. Rubbish.”
“… .”
As I relaxed, intense fatigue overtook me.
After picking up Meriel from the library, I went back to bed, and it was 2:00 in the morning. On the first day of being possessed by this world, too many things happened in one day.
‘May tomorrow be peaceful.’
I prayed that I would be able to return safely, but when I thought that this would reach that unreliable goddess, I giggled because I was dumbfounded.
As I lifted the blanket up to my chest and went to sleep, I heard Meriel’s voice from nearby.
“Can I read a book here?”
When I opened one eye, Meriel was sitting on top of my bed. Because it was a ghost, it had no weight, so the bed didn’t even move.
There was only one very soft light in the room, so I couldn’t see her face properly, only a small back view was blurred.
“Yes.”
“yes.”
“I want to become a guardian spirit soon. You don’t want to be tied down to me all the time.”
There was no answer as to why he asked something obvious. Now, while I was tossing and turning to sleep, Meriel spoke again.
“Are you really close with the goddess?”
“yes.”
“But, it’s so bad that you have to take liberal arts lessons from me.”
“okay.”
“I don’t even know how to use magic. By the way… . You have to look like a magic school professor.”
“Yes, yes. Since you can see the hardships, Elma also took care of me, so I lowered the ministry period to 3 years. Nothing is free in this world.”
“I knew that Meriel Stella was tied up in the library… .”
“… .”
“I will slowly listen to what you are doing and what circumstances you are in. Is it difficult to tell you?”
“… OK. thanks.”
“I’ll tease you until you tell me.”
“I sleep now. I am going to die of sleepiness.”
“Low stamina. Go to sleep, I’ll wake you up if something happens. I’m going to try hard. If you stupidly die in the guesthouse, I won’t be able to become a guardian spirit either.”
Protect Professor Ian’s life for three years.
Compared to other spirits, Elma’s requirements for promotion to guardian spirits were quite light. Usually, 100 years of ministry is the basis.
“Thanks to you, I will sleep well.”
“I’ll whisper a few swear words next to you to make you have nightmares.”
“… yes.”
“OMG. Could it be that you like it now?”
“I gave up, little girl… .”
“transformation. Roll over to the corner and sleep. When I’m reading, if it rolls toward me, I’ll kick it.”
“hahahaha… . I won’t be bored thanks to you. really.”
