I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 139: Demons Are Everywhere (1)

Monday morning.

It felt a bit odd to call it a day of the final showdown, but it was the day of the regional practicum.

-Teacher, I'll do well in Ulleungdo!

Yumir boarded the ferry to Ulleungdo early in the morning, excited.

-Did you find out who your practicum mate is?

-No, they said they'll tell us upon arrival. There seem to be other students on the ferry, so it looks like there are several teams.

-Why don't you try making friends this time?

-I'd rather be friends with you, teacher. Kyaa>ㅇ<

-Let's save the emoticons for when you buy them.

-......

There was nothing particularly problematic in the text exchange with Yumir.

Both of us had been careful not to leave any incriminating messages in our texts, and we kept our phone calls short, under three minutes.

Yumir often visited my house using her spatial teleportation, which made it impossible for me to leave.

And Monday was my day off as the librarian, Do Ji-hwan.

A holiday.

Beep beep.

My phone rang.

The caller, Baek Seol-hee, had even set a special ringtone for herself.

"Hello?"

[Ji-hwan... Do you have any plans to come up to Seoul?]

"What do you intend to do if I come up to Seoul?"

[I want to visit your house. In Banpo.]

Unlike Yumir, who was headed to Ulleungdo, Baek Seol-hee was headed to Seoul.

Or, more precisely, to Incheon, under the guise of going to Seoul.

"Sure, I welcome you. But since I last cleaned up and left it empty, it might be quite dirty."

[I'm good at cleaning. I'll clean it for you. It might be difficult to bring housewarming gifts, so I'll bring something else as a gift.]

"What is it?"

[The most delicious thing my parents made.]

"Don't use those internet-taught lines on me."

[......]

Click.

The call ended.

"Was it not yet three minutes?"

Did she hang up out of offense, or was it just perfect timing because someone happened to be nearby?

-I misunderstood

-I just boarded the early morning train

-I was alone at the station for a moment

-Sorry for hanging up suddenly

Her text messages followed one after another.

I immediately understood why she sent these messages.

"She got offended."

She hung up feeling offended and then sent these messages hastily, explaining the early morning train story.

Well, even if she was on the train, she was unlikely to hang up because someone came.

-I'll either go to Seoul through Yumir or take a leave to go. Fortunately, the academy library is also closed.

-Isn't it the librarian's day off when the library is closed?
