Help! My Overprotective S-Rank Master Who Loves Me Too Much Won't Let Me Go on Quests! - Chapter 9: I Want to End the Secret Relationship!

Episode 9: I Want to End the Secret Relationship!

“So this is Milena-san’s room, it smells sweet.”

“As a lady, I do pay attention to scents.”

Milena-san’s room was filled with beautiful flowers and plants, giving off a typical elf-like atmosphere.

As Milena-san and I sat facing each other in chairs, she spoke up first.

“…So, Adin-san, may I ask for your request again?”

Following her request, I stated my request again.

“Yes, about the secret relationship… Specifically, I’ve been receiving training from Milena-san several times, but I want to stop that from now on.”

“Was there any issue with my teaching method? If so, I will improve it in the future, so please tell me what wasn’t good.”

“There was no issue with your teaching method; in fact, it was perfect, and thanks to that, my earth magic has improved a lot… But…”

“But?”

Finally, I decided to broach the main topic of this conversation.

“Because my earth magic improved so suddenly, Aria-san seemed to feel a bit uneasy about it, and she… suspected that I might be receiving training from someone else. She even said that if the person teaching me was a woman, she would ensure I never inclined to do such a thing ever again.”

“I see… Indeed, it was wise to keep it hidden from Aria-san. However… yes, I was also careless. I enjoyed teaching you magic, and I focused on teaching you only my favorite attribute… But if that’s the case, the solution is simple.”

A simple solution…? It seemed like ending this relationship would be a simple solution but the way she said that didn’t make it feel that simple.

Feeling a bit nervous, I awaited Milena-san’s next words. Then, Milena-san said with a bright smile.

“I think everything would be resolved if Adin-san becomes my disciple. How about it?”

“…Eh?”

Me, quitting as Aria-san’s disciple and becoming Milena-san’s disciple…?

“You can’t do that. I’ve been learning from Aria-san for a year.”

“But for a year, Aria-san hasn’t even put you in real combat once… As for me, using my rights as a receptionist, I can immediately select quests that are perfect for you.”

“If I become Milena-san’s disciple, quests…”

“Yes, of course, I won’t send you on quests that are too dangerous for your abilities, but at least I can let you go on quests that you can definitely accomplish whenever you want.”

…It was a very tempting offer.

Milena-san is said to be stronger than A-rank adventurers except for some S-rank adventurers, and she would be an excellent mentor for me. Her teaching method is polite, and she’s always kind… but.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine anyone other than Aria-san as my mentor.”

“…Is that so.”

Although it was difficult, I decided to decline this proposal. Apart from not letting me go on quests, Aria-san is someone I admire, she’s someone cool, cute, and fun to be with.
Betraying the feelings I’ve had for her for a year and becoming someone else’s disciple… I can’t do it.

“I’m really sorry, but I… also think of Milena-san as…”

When I tried to convey that I don’t dislike Milena-san, but rather think of her as an important person, she moved quickly and gently invited me onto the bed.

“Milena-san…?”

Milena-san came to the same bed as me without saying a word and started unbuttoning her receptionist uniform.

“…I’ll gently teach you what I couldn’t last time. Then, even if Aria-san is your mentor, we could still be…”

Just as Milena-san was about to say something, something passed by Milena-san’s side very quickly… Water magic.

Milena-san dodged it by moving her body aside, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to dodge it at that speed.

When I looked in the direction where the water magic came from, I could see her…

“Milena… I won’t go easy on you today.”

It was my mentor, Aria-san, with a cold expression, unlike anything I’d ever seen before.
