Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

Wow! So Gustav-sensei swings that way! Who would’ve thought!)

Leo was a bit shocked by the sudden revelation, but it wasn’t the first time he had met someone like Gustav.

Back then, when Leo was still living in Richard, he and Bruno had helped translating a lot of erotic books, so this topic wasn’t something new to Leo, since he had already met a significant amount of people with those kinds of interests.

And for some reason, Leo’s Soul Sisters would sometimes read those books while staring at him and Bruno.

But Gustav wasn’t over yet, he then dropped another bomb.

“In the first place, I always managed to achieve my objectives on my own, so I don’t need your help to restore everyone’s faith in the church…… besides, it’s not like I’m aiming to be a sage just for show.”

“!!!!!!”

In Richard, there’s a legend that says: “If a man manages to stay a virgin for 40 years, he’ll become a sage.” And Gustav said that he was aiming to become a sage, so Leo became even more shocked.

(Gustav-sensei still has his V-Card!? At that age!? Even though he’s being called The s.e.xual Sword of the Empire by the church!?)

Leo always thought that the church, as an organization, was comprised of kind and compa.s.sionate people, but they’re nothing more than bullies.

“And to tell the truth, I don’t like you, Leonora von Harkenberg. You keep getting in the way of the church, and it’s not fun to fix the things you destroy……*Chuckle*……but you know what IS funny—?”

Gustav had a mocking grin on his face—

“—It’s you getting the t.i.tle of saint—”

—And his sharp eyes were glaring at Leonora.

“—Even though you’re not a pure maiden.”

“…???…”

“To begin with, you don’t even have the qualifications to be a saint, and you will never be a better saint than my sister was.

“…Your, older sister…?”

Gustav smiled sarcastically and said–

“–Yes, my older sister…. unlike you, SHE was a real saint. And I loved her more than anything in this world…….”

(So… Gustav-sensei hates women, but he’s a siscon? …He prefers men, but he still has his V-card……???……Ahhh!!! This doesn’t make sense anymore!!!)

Leo was seriously confused, It seems that Gustav swings both ways, but maybe his sister was the only woman that he ever fell in love with.

(Well… I feel bad for Natalia… to have her first love shattered like this…)

It’s not easy to forget your first love, but Leo would support Natalia in any way possible.

“We’ve been talking for a while now, and I said what I had to say, so you can go back to those three–”

But then Gustav remembered why he had brought Leonora to this small room.

“–Oh right, before I forget… that new crest is dangerous, so I’ll confiscate it.”

Gustav extended his right hand forward and demanded the thing Leo was holding.

And Leo, who looked down in the direction of his left hand, noticed that he was still holding that wet piece of paper–

“N-no! I can’t, give you this, sensei!”

–But Leo wouldn’t give up on one of his newly acquired business tools, so he held the wet paper against his chest, which made Gustav frown.

Gustav then tried to take the wet paper by force, but Leonora held it even more tightly against her chest, as if it was something precious to her.

“Haaah… It seems like I was too kind with you.”

Gustav was a bit angry, so he pushed Leonora against the wall.

*Kabedon∼♥* (Tl/n: (-.-) – Another one…)

“Kyaaaa!”

Leonora was a bit surprised, so she let out a cute scream, but Gustav didn’t care about that, so he grabbed both of her cheeks with his right hand and said–

“–I’ll make you regret not giving me that piece of paper when you had the chance.”

(Ugh! This brute!!! Let go of my cheeks, it hurts a lot! I’ll definitively spread some bad rumors about you!!!)

When Gustav did the same thing to Natalia, he treated her a lot more kindly, which made Leo a bit angry, since he was being treated like garbage–

“If I show Albert your expression right now, I’m sure he’d be elated, Leo-no-rchan∼♥”

–But Leo’s angry face wasn’t scary at all, you could even say it was rather cute.

(Disgusting!!! Gustav sensei is a pervert! I was wrong about him!)

Leo knew he was supposed to run away, but Gustav was too strong.

“Wow, it’s kinda fun to poke your cheeks, Leo-no-rchan∼♥”

“No…! Sensei, please stop!”

“Hehe, are you that scared∼?”

“…*s.h.i.+ver*…I-I’m… not…!”

Leo wasn’t scared. He just wanted to scream: “Help! A disgusting pig is attacking me!” But if he did so, Gustav would probably hurt Leena’s body and Leo wouldn’t be able to collect his payment – one gold coin – since her body was hurt.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle with you∼♥”

Again, Leo wasn’t scared.

“Pffft…!”

Now Leo understood why Hannah would always tell the young girls of the orphanage to never follow strangers… the sight of an older guy, like Gustav, acting cute, was indeed quite disturbing and disgusting.

“Why are you laughing!? You should be trembling in fear instead!”

“B-but… y-you, didn’t stop, sensei… Pffft!”

“I know you’re scared!! You should just admit it!!”

“Okay, then…*Monotone*…Kyaaaa∼, I’m scared∼, someone∼, save me∼”

“You f***ing brat!! Now you’re making fun of me!?”

“No way! I would never, make fun, of you, while you’re, trying to, act cute, sensei!”

Gustav froze because of that statement, Leo could even see his expression warping in anger. A vein even appeared on his forehead. But in reality, Gustav was so shocked to know his threatening skills didn’t work on Leonora, that he was losing confidence in himself.

(…Well… maybe I teased Gustav-sensei a bit too much? He’s even trembling…)

Leo was feeling a bit awkward right now. He wanted to ask Gustav if everything was okay, but if Leo – a thirteen old girl – asked him that, Gustav would probably break (Mentally) even more.

(Sensei may be a siscon and a wild Head Priest, but he’s still a good person… I should apologize–)

“–Hmm, I’m sorry sensei, I won’t say, those things, ever again… and, uh, I want, to be, your friend.”

Leonora then extended her left hand that was holding the wet piece of paper towards Gustav.

But after seeing the sad expression on Leonora’s face, Gustav shook his head to the sides and released the girl.

“I don’t need it, you can go now….”

“…Sensei…?”

“Just leave me alone… I need some time to think….”

“T-then, please excuse me….”

“…Don’t forget to close the door….”

Leonora exited the room and closed the door as Gustav had asked, but the silence that filled the place after she left, was… almost suffocating.

“…Friends, huh…… Haaah, she must be really naive…… or I’m just too stupid….”

“Leonora!”

As soon as he exited the room, Leo saw Albert and the other two looking at him a bit worried.

“Thank you, for waiting, but there’s, no need, to worry.”

“There’s no need to worry!? We heard him yelling at you! So of course we would worry!”

“But I did, something bad….”

Leo didn’t want to reveal Gustav’s private matters, so he omitted the rest of their conversation.

“I know that’s not everything, what really happened there?”

Leo was grateful for Oscar always worrying about him, but Leo couldn’t tell him what happened, although he wanted to because Gustav treated him like garbage.

“I-I really, can’t…!”

“Why? Did he do something to you!?”

“N-no, sensei wouldn’t, do something, like that! But I can’t, tell you, without his permission….”

After all, Leo kept Oscar’s secret, and never told anyone about his hair problem.

But Oscar wouldn’t give up, he knew that something probably happened. But before Oscar could say anything, Albert placed his right hand on his shoulder and said–

“–It’s okay, Oscar. We don’t need to interrogate her.”

Albert, who would be usually even more worried than Oscar, was surprisingly calm.

“So you don’t care about what Gustav did to her!?”

“Haaah, I am worried… more than you actually… but I’m sure she’d tell us if Gustav really did something.”

Oscar sighed too, and in a quiet voice he said: “…F**k….”

“I’m sorry, Albert-sama, Oscar-senpai, and Rolf-senpai, but I’m okay, nothing happened.”

“You don’t have to apologize… I know that I’m a bit overprotective sometimes.”

“Well then, how about we end the business meeting right now? We can always do another one at a later date and I still have some student council work to do.”

“Un, I agree.”

“If Leonorchan is okay with it, then I don’t mind ending the meeting right now.”

And like that, their first business meeting came to an end. But while the three men left the church really worried, the little girl left with a big secret that she couldn’t tell anyone.
