Chapter 1

"Hey Illysha, what would you do after the war? As for me, I'm thinking of getting married to someone and starting a family, even though that idiot is too dense to notice my advances."

"That's right, an idiot who doesn't even notice the advances of a poor girl. How sad."

"Hey! What are you all talking about? Who are you talking... Hahaha, nothing! Nothing! You don't need to know right now. Maybe one day she will have the courage to tell you about it herself. But right now, you don't need to know, Hero-sama."

"Heheh, but don't you find it amazing, Illysha? The saint who accompanies you is a great beauty. Don't you wonder why she doesn't have a partner yet?"

"I don't know, maybe she likes girls."

"What's wrong with your brain? You have a sharp battle instinct, and when it comes to others' relationships, you help them like you know what to do to be effective in easing their own relationships and mending them again. But when it comes to her, you don't even give a damn about those hints. You really are a dumb, idiot."

"Sylvia, stop scolding him already. Nothing would change even if you say those things. You know how his brain works, right? You scold him today, and when tomorrow comes, he will already have forgotten it. Sigh! Tsk! How can this noble, warm-hearted saint even be in love with him? I can't even comprehend it, even though I've already risen to a stage where there are only a few mages who have achieved the Archmage realm, a legend that will be recorded as the youngest to achieve it."

"Hahah, there's no way Illysha would fall for my handsome and dazzling self. Hahah, wow, how can you say it with a straight face without feeling ashamed?"

"Nee, Syl, what would you do after the war ends? Hey, don't change the topic so fast."

"Tsk! Don't click your tongue, you idiot. You really make it obvious that you want to run away from the topic. Hahah, is it? No, never mind. So, what are you going to do after the war ends?"

"Hmm... Let's see. I don't really have grandiose dreams..."

"Argh! What the heck, Sylvia!!!... ┏(｀ー´)┛ What the heck are you daydreaming about in class? It disturbed my teaching. You always do that. Are you really that bored from listening to my subject that you doze off and start sleeping and murmuring something?"

"I sincerely apologize for sleeping again, teacher... Heheh... You will help clean the library again."

"No way! Not again... Huhuh, that's your punishment for today, disturbing the class. I hope you will finally learn your lesson, Sylvia. Sigh! 'The whole class started to laugh at Sylvia's misery, as if it's a part of the norm already.' Hey guys, what's so funny about it?"

"Illysha, even you? How can you do this to me? Huhuh, aren't you my BFF? That's why you should clean up with me as punishment for laughing at my misery. (ꐦ°д°) Huh?! Why should I do that, Syl? You reap what you sow. Good luck cleaning the library. I won't accompany you this time since I have a busy schedule."

"Hey, that's bullsh*t! You just want to escape helping me... (╯°□°）╯ Sylvia! Illysha! You two are so loud. The class isn't over yet, you two. ┏(｀ー´)┛.... Finally, that scary teacher has stopped scolding. I feel like my ears are going to break from listening. Both of them 'sigh' at the same time. 'Look whose fault it is, you idiot. Why are you even sleeping in his class? Didn't you learn your lesson already? How many times is it this week that you've even dragged me to hell with you? Can you please stop doing that all over again... ¯ \ (° _o) / ¯ Hmm? What are you talking about? This idiot is already hopeless.'"

"Illysha looked at Sylvia and shook her head and punched the head of Sylvia. Ouch! Stop! Violence won't solve the problem... Please forgive me already, Illysha-sama🥺. What would happen if I turned into an idiot? If you punch my head many times, will you take care of me🥺? 'A chill traveled down Illysha's body, hearing those words.' With a reflex, Illysha says, 'No way!'"
