Chapter 66: On the roof

Chapter 66: On the roof

(Ryoto's pov)

'Karen, any advice?'

Karen: "..."

'Karen?'

Karen: "It's nothing, just waiting for the apocalypse."

'Huh, why?'

Karen: "My ex-boyfriend said that the day someone asks me for advice is a day the world will end and since it didn't happen. *Breath in* FUCK YOU JAMES!!!"

'You had a boyfriend? For how long?'

Karen: "30 minutes. He was my first and last relationship."

'He lasted longer than I thought. To the point, I asked you because we have known each other for some time, and you know me better than anyone I know. I could ask Koro-sensei as well buuut...'

Karen: "Yeah, yeah, I get it."

'Besides, today you sounded very wise, so I'm hoping it wasn't a fluke and you give me some useful tips.'

Karen: "Did... did you just call me stupid?"

'No, but you can be...'

Karen: "Bitchy, I know."

'But you helped me a lot as well. You even send me here to help me and not to just fuck with me, which I appreciate.'

Karen: "..."

'Karen went silent for a while. I even started worrying for a minute.

'Karen, Hey Karen!'

Karen: "What?"

'You went quiet for a moment there. Are you alright?'

Karen: "Yeah. It's just the second time someone has been grateful to me. I must say the feeling is overrated. Pissing people off is a lot more entertaining."

'...Why are you like this?'

Karen: "It all began on the day when I was born..."

'Spare me the details.'

Karen: "In short, it was because of my sister. If you think that I'm bad, you really don't want to meet her."

'You know, I don't think I'm in the to hear about your family.'

Karen: "Neither am I, to your problem then. I think that you are overthinking. So you care about more than one girl, big deal, it's not like you are acting on your urges. As I see it, you don't want to do anything without speaking with Lala as you would feel it would be like cheating. You also believe that after you are seen with this quest, you won't return here and just leave them but you can buy a world travel ticket in a shop, and it isn't that expensive too. You can also buy them for other people so no worries. They can move with you at some point.

You now have two options. You can use either friend zone them, or you could tell them the truth that you need time and think with your penis after you talk with Lala because, let's be honest, she won't be against it.

I would also prepare yourself for more girls coming your way."

Ryoto: "Sounds like a fair deal."

Koro-sensei: "I honestly don't know. My relationship with all of you students is that of a target and an assassin. Besides, I'm not sure I'm allowed to live happily after everything I've done. I would need time to think about it, but I think my fate is a retribution of some kind."

Ryoto: "I see."

I don't know what I should say in a situation like that, so it's better to stay quiet, and that's what I did.

Koro-sensei: "So, who are you really?"

Ryoto: "Excuse me?"

Koro-sensei: "You know, your parent's address isn't written in your documents, so I did some digging and tour parents don't exist, so I ask you. Who are you?"

I thought about how should I answer this question, and Koro-sensei didn't hurry me up.

Ryoto: "I am just a broken boy who sought out help, so someone sent me to this class. That's all."

Koro-sensei: "I see."

I'm surprised that he accepted that as an answer, but I'm happy at the same time. My situation isn't the easiest to explain.

Ryoto: "If you knew, why didn't you say anything earlier? I could be someone dangerous after all."

Koro-sensei: "I trust my judgment on people even though I maybe shouldn't, but as soon as you become my student, I decided to help you."

Ryoto: "...It's stupid..."

Koro-sensei: "It may be so, but that's the kind of teacher I want and hope to be."

Ryoto: "I didn't finish. I wanted to say that it's stupid that I don't hate it."

Koro-sensei: "Then it's all good, isn't it?"

We sat on the roof for the rest of the time in silence. It wasn't awkward, but then I turned to Koro-sensei to say that I'd go inside the inn, but Koro-sensei was 'wearing' a cube of water around his body. I suddenly lost most of the respect I got for him and attempted to stab him with the knife I'd hidden in my yukata.

Ryoto: "Why are you naked!!?"

Koro-sensei dodged my knife and started explaining himself fast in panic.

Koro-sensei: "Nakamura-San tried to peek at me, and I escaped them from my bath. I then noticed you on the roof."

Ryoto: "And you haven't thought about flying fast back to your room and dressing up."

Koro-sensei stopped for a moment and hit his head with a tentacle while tilting his head a bit cutely.

Koro-sensei: "Tee-hee."

A vein popped on my forehead.

Ryoto: "Don't tee-hee me, you bastard!!!"

Koro-sensei escaped, and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth seeing my teacher after a bath.
