"Son, put me down!" Evelyn shouted confusedly.
"Sorry, but that's impossible."
"I can run by myself!"
I rolled my eyes in despair. “Yes, but I ran twice as fast as you, so it's better like this.”
Evelyn bit her lips with a shy expression. "Suckers! Wait a minute, I just need a spell to kill all these monsters!”
“... Headmaster, the reason we ran is not because we couldn't kill them. That's because we need to keep as much mana as possible. Moreover, how much mana was left after twice failing to teleport?”
Evelyn stunned. Looking at the mana left, it was only enough to cast one seventh-tier spell. If he forced himself, he could chant one eighth-tier spell.
In the end, he could only sigh with a look of despair.
“... I guess I can only let you protect me.”
After Evelyn failed twice to activate the teleportation spell, we were attacked by a group of monsters.
Those monsters were not very strong, with the strongest only being at the tenth layer. They looked hungry and desperate for food, with red eyes and raging expressions.
They might be monsters that did not make it through the portal.
If I'm not mistaken, the monsters were attracted to us by the mana spike caused after Evelyn chanted two teleportation spells. Once they came and detected the two of us, they were unable to suppress their craving for food and attacked us nonchalantly.
Of course, not all monsters attack us. Some of them took advantage of this opportunity to hunt other monsters nearby and get an easy dinner, but most of the monsters did chase after us.
So, what are we doing?
Of course, we ran away. Or rather, I ran away while holding Evelyn ala the princess.
It's not that we can't kill them, but in a situation where we have to use mana sparingly, throwing out mana in unnecessary combat is not a good idea.
So, to keep acting without revealing my true strength (and the fact that I used this situation to make my relationship with Evelyn closer), escaping was the best option.
“... Wow, are you sure you didn't use this opportunity to take advantage of me?” Evelyn asked with narrowed eyes.
“Why do you think of such a thing? I'm not a pervert.” I said while looking sideways distract.
“... Even you don't believe in these words! And I can feel your hands moving suspiciously near my ass!”
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just your imagination."
"… Shameless bastard!" Evelyn snorted and closed her eyes furiously. She probably didn't want to see my face again for fear of fainting from anger.
I chuckled and avoided the monster attack. Then, I jumped to the side to dodge the claws, kicked the legs of another monster, and jumped over the head of another one, passed through the group of monsters in front of us and continued to run forward.
I did everything using the smallest amount possible. In fact, which one I used was so little that Evelyn needed to focus on feeling it.
I looked at Evelyn and realized that she was frowning. He was probably worried about the failed teleportation spell.
I let out a breath. “Don't worry too much. It's normal to fail. ”
"Normal?" Evelyn surprised.
I'm nodding. "Think about that. We are in a completely different world, perhaps in a completely different dimension as well. In this kind of situation, it is only natural that not everything goes according to our expectations. If not, it would be too easy.”
Thas right. Teleportation between worlds is not that difficult, but if we talk about teleportation between different dimensions, it is a completely different story. Each dimension is separated by a thin layer of energy.
Such a layer, though thin, is very, very tough. Usually, it is very difficult to break through the film.
"i think you can try to investigate with a different approach" I said later.
"What do you mean?" Evelyn looked at me with curiosity.
I thought for a moment before explaining the solution somewhat vaguely. “Why don't you try to figure out a way to stop the energy disruption? you can make it cone-shaped to penetrate the energy disturbance and reach our world.”
Evelyn paused for a moment while thinking about my words.
After a while, he looked at me with a serious look.
"Neh, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?"
“Hm? You mean what?" I pretended not to know.
Evelyn grunting. “Hmph! Do you think I'm an idiot? There is a limit to how great you can become a genius.You have already far surpassed the realm of geniuses and stepped in impossible territory. ”
I smiled wryly in my heart. Well, it's normal to be suspicious.
Maybe he could believe that I reached the thirteenth layer when I was only eighteen, and maybe he could understand if I was good at magic and martial arts. But at some point, it was normal that he became suspicious.
And in fact, I never tried to hide it seriously. At least not from him or my lover.I'm sure many of my girls, including Dina, have realized that I am stronger than I showed.
But they only kept suspicions to themselves. And now that Evelyn and I came to this world, there was a high chance that she witnessed some of my true strength.
“... I've been suspicious for a while, but my suspicions get bigger when you talk to monsters.”
"Hmm?" I frowned.
"If you're not hiding something, why did you stop us from hearing the conversation?" evelyn.
Yeah, that's pretty suspicious.
But the fact that monsters recognized my identity as an immortal made me surprised. Hey, I don't mind if Evelyn finds out, but another teacher? No-no.
I smiled mysteriously. “Are you curious?”
"… Little. Are you a reincarnation of a god or something? ”
I thought for a moment before smiling. "I'll tell you if you give me a kiss."
Evelyn's face darkened. “Shameless bastard! Aren't you planning to tell me?"
"A charming man has many secrets" I said proudly.
Evelyn snorted before closing her eyes again deciding to ignore me.
Surprisingly, he wrapped his hands around my neck with a peaceful expression. I can feel her trust in me through her body language.
I smiled and continued to move past the monsters. I easily dodged their attacks and left the siege. In less than ten minutes, I have left behind all the monsters.
“Where are we going now?” ask Evelyn.
"Let me see." I said and closed my eyes as I spread my senses around.
Soon, I found an empty cave nearby.
"Let's go. I found a place to rest .. And give you a little more mana. ”
