Chapter 13 (1/2)

Teeks after that, I a do as Alexia's boyfriend Every once in a while I get harassed by other students, but everything so far is still within tolerable levels

More than anything else, Zenon-sensei has not cos with any direct approaches that involve violence, so at least that's a relief

As for the ive Alexia and I appropriate and thoughtful guidance during classes He no longer comes over for casual talks, but clearly is an adult capable of keeping public and private separate

In comparison to that

”Thatlike he's all that just because he is a little good at the sword”

When we're before people, of course she's got her act on and all, but e are alone, her words become like a tornado of vilification

”Yep, yep, that's right”

I am pretty much just a yes-robot I learned early on that any and all rebuttal would only be a waste of time

”Pochi, you also saw that absolutely shady smile of his, did you not?”

”Yep, yep, I did”

It has becoer path through the woods that few other students use

During that tiree hatever Alexia says Not even 10 of it actually enters my brain

We continue walking slowly down the path as the sun sets above Whereas walking norh to the other side in 10 er than 30 minutes Soh, but patience So at her to just find a random wall to talk to instead, but patience I can bear it

Patience, patience, and more patience

But even I have one thing that I really need to say

”Ahh, can I ask you so?”

”What, Pochi?”

Alexia sits down on her favorite tree stus

Why the hell are you sitting down, get the fuck up and continue walking – is what I really want to say but I know I have no choice but to also sit down next to her

”In the end, what is it about Zenon-sensei that you dislike so e partner he seeh”

”You…… were you even listening to what I was saying?”

Alexia looks slightly displeased

”Everything, alright? I dislike his very existence, and everything about it”

”He is handsoh social status, has money, and is able to clearly de about hi the female students, I hear”

My words are only h

”That's all just his outward appearance Appearances can be fabricated and kept up as much as wanted As a prime example, me”

”I see, da example”

Speaking of which, Alexia is also highly popular Since she's putting on so deep an act that it makes me want to puke sometimes when I see it

”That is why I do not evaluate people based on appearances”

”Then how do you evaluate people?”

”By their flaws”

So says Alexia with a self-satisfied look

”A truly negative judgment method Fits you to a tee”

”Why, thank you Incidentally, the fact that you are only composed of flaws and that you possess absolutely no virtues whatsoever scores you relatively highly in my book”

”Thank you, it'ssuch a compliment that does not make me happy at all!”

Alexia smiles wryly

”It's good that you are an easily identifiable piece of trash And that is why I dislike that man”

”Since we're on the topic, tell me some of Zenon-sensei's flaws, then”

”From what I can see, he has none”

”Then isn't he just perfect?”

”There isn't a single human alive who is perfect If there truly is, then that person is either a big, fat liar, or there are screws loose in their head”

”I see, I see Thank you for that totally jaded and prejudiced reply I truly learned so today”

”You are very welcome, oh Pochi of the endless list of flaws Go fetch~!”

With that, Alexia takes out a single gold coin and throws it I dash out at full speed to catch it

daht, just done earned me 100,000 Zeny

I put the gold coin intoher hands in delight

”Good boy, good boy”

She is patting my head Patience
