Book 19 Chapter 15

Chapter 157

"Hey, why are you so down?"

Turayna had her head bowed low in front of Rin. She murmured softly like this.

"I am, [the strongest]…"

"You're supposed to be [the strongest], but you're embarrassed because you almost died to a mere goblin? Hey, you're a complete beginner right now. You did well for this much."

What an ability to interpret! A master!

Then Turayna mouthed something, then spoke again.

"From now on, stronger enemies than that will swarm, and if I can't even catch this, I'll only be a hindrance."

This was also something Rin had said!

To have already memorized this, from the pitch of her voice to her intonation and her unique boastful posture—a crazy master!

However, the next line she had to say was not recorded in [Rin's Book of Lines], so she merely mumbled with her head bowed low.

"I'll be, a hindrance, a hindrance. Then I won't, won't be able to follow Master."

Rin flinched in surprise. Does one have to become a teacher to understand a teacher's heart?

Every single one of Turayna's actions surprisingly reminded him of his own childhood self, who feared being abandoned again.

And how, each time, he had been reassured by that smile of profound love.

"You would be a hindrance. If you stayed like you were earlier."

Rin knew.

I can't speak like the Dean. I can't be like Ristana Freide. But

I have my own way.

"But now that Pipi is with you, it should be fine, right? I manage just fine even with this dead weight attached to me, and Pipi isn't dead weight, is she?"
