I’m Not Doing This With A Friend - Chapter 34.2

As my partner changed in a blink of an eye, I looked at the face of the male student holding my hand.

No matter how much I looked at it, it was a face I had never seen.

Besides, there was an indescribably strange feeling on this kid’s face.

Apparently, even though I’m still staring at his face, I don’t think I could see his features clearly.

Sneakily checked his name tag. ‘Simon’ was the name I knew. But does Simon look like this?

Recognizing that it was Simon, when I glanced at his face again, and somehow his face seemed to be clearly visible.

“Ah, Leen. There’s something I haven’t been able to tell you.”

At Simon’s call, I turned to look him in the eyes. Then Simon was surprised and avoided my eyes.

“I’m a bit of a night owl, so I could be a little nervous.”

I wondered what it was, but when I heard those words, I suddenly felt Simon’s hand trembling.

He was so nervous that I could feel his heartbeat.

“Pfft…”

I let out a short burst of laughter. He pretended to be so relaxed.

Somehow, he was a kid who reminded me of Carson.

“Thank you for being my partner, Simon.”

Sincerely speaking from the truth.

Seriously…

Meanwhile, in the class of Carson and Fjord.

While Fjord was yawning profusely, he noticed that Carson was taking the class unusually hard.

‘Oh, what’s wrong?’

However, Fjord felt a little strange as he saw Carson, who barely moved even after a few minutes.

Fjord reached out his hand and slapped Carson’s back.

“Hey, how come you haven’t moved since earlier…?”

But his hand couldn’t hit Carson. It was because Fjord’s hand suddenly passed through Carson’s body.

“Crazy. What’s this?”

Fjord groaned and pulled his hand away. What he thought was Carson’s body turned out to be a well-crafted illusion.

It was only then that Fjord grasped the situation.

‘I didn’t know if Carson had missed class until he created an illusion with magic to do something else crazy.’ (Fjord)

I just hope that nobody will die, Amen!

“Huh?”

Now that I see it, the hand that Kun slammed yesterday was fine.

I tend to bruise easily, so I thought I would have a blue bruise the next day.

Looking back, it seems that after holding hands with Simon, I didn’t even feel any tingling pain.

As if someone had cast some healing magic.

I’m sure it’s my misunderstanding.

Well, not having any bruises was a welcome blessing.

I warmed up and stretched lightly before writing a letter to my aunt.

On weekends, writing a letter to my aunt was a solid routine.

While I was writing a letter to my aunt, someone’s face suddenly came to mind

I wasn’t lucky to think of that face that came to mind from the morning of my sacred weekend.

Right! The letter from Erhan had already almost filled a drawer.

Reflexively, I opened the drawer containing letters. The scent of lavender that suddenly wafted in made me frown.

His pretense was so disgusting.

Letting out a deep sigh from the depths of my lungs.

Right now, I don’t have to see ‘them’ at the academy, but after graduation, I’ll have to take care of my aunt until I get a job somewhere.

“If I don’t want to meet them, I need to be independent as soon as I graduate.”

…Then I need money, where would I get it?

In fact, when my parents were still alive, my family was very wealthy.

My dad didn’t have to work because he was in charge of housework, but my mom was a competent herbalist.

However, after my parents had an unknown disease, it was basic to call a doctor who could cure my parents’ illness and call a priest.

As I repeatedly bought precious medicinal herbs and gave them to my parents, or researched ways to cure diseases, our finances were running out.

In fact, the cost of the ingredients was more than doubled because of combining herbal alchemy.

Eventually, my parents passed away, but I had no lingering feelings about the money. If I had saved money, I would have regretted it.

And I think it’s okay because my aunt raised me, who was left alone.

‘Money.’

First of all, I couldn’t open my hands to ask for money shamelessly from my aunt…

I’ve got some pretty useful herbal recipes, so how would I make money?

“Oh, I don’t know.”

With a complicated thought, Leen pounded her head into the desk and ruffled her hair.

As I turned my head to the side in that state, the herbs I had dried before came into view.

Come to think of it, it was about time that Potato girl’s skin began to develop problems.

“I’ll have to make a cure first.” (Leen)

She’s cheeky, but I wasn’t cold hearted enough to let her suffer, even though I knew clearly that her skin would melt.

Besides, I was the only person who could make a cure for Barmon Knirina.

It was a recipe my deceased mother made, so I had no choice but to do so.

I got up to make a remedy for the potato girl.

As I picked the herbs for the cure, the Dao Tranto plant caught my eye.

Sweat suppressant.

In other words, Dao Tranto could be used as a treatment for hyperhidrosis.

“I didn’t know I would say this, but I would never help you!”

I spit out a self-talk that I didn’t know who I was talking to.
