[ technically that is an adult. and that's the age most protagonists start their journeys. but he doesn't like it. ]
It seems this teacher can say nothing to persuade you otherwise.
But so long as you're enjoying your years more than you are "worrying"... I will compromise and try not to worry so much in return. [ in other words!! he won't worry as much about what protagonists have to do!! but he is asking her to enjoy a slice of life more than shounen genre! ]
[Don't worry they spend a lot of time enjoying the slice of life stuff. Minamoto made sure of it.]
i can assure you: i'm definitely enjoying my years! apart from a heart-throbbing teenage romance i was enjoying all aspects of a wonderful highschool life so far!
there are a lot of soft and peaceful things here! i get to go home and no matter what time it is, rin will always feed me if i ask. i get to sleep over with shiho and tease kyrie for being a tsundere and call caramia big brother.
i can play chess with dex and have lessons with sensei. oh and teasing akira! and there are so many cute girls here too! maribelle and pyra and everyone else...every moment i spend with the people i care about here are all precious to me.
[ Really, when you put things like that... I can't say anything. Well, there is a lot I could say. Like, you don't have to worry about paying us all back. The fact that you're happy and well is enough payment for us. The fact that you're able to smile is enough. Why doe these protagonists never see it as enough? Why do they want to do more? As someone who is content with whatever I'm given, I really can't understand that gungho attitude at all.
But, so long as you're smiling... and don't feel beaten down. ]
I see.
Then, it seems like I can't say anything to persuade you otherwise. Just be safe, and don't do too much. If it looks bad, you already know to run. You already promised me that you'd run. So, don't get any other ideas in your head.
[It was less that she wanted to pay them back so much as she wanted to protect them. Because...the things that were important to you could be taken away. Because while she's never had that happen she knows it does happen, knows that sometimes you have to fight to protect the things dear to you.]
[ If he doesn't sound cold at this moment, he's definitely going to say something overly sappy and worrying. Because he's worrying even if he says that he isn't! Ugh, the worst. ]
[It's fine. She's sure he's probably thinking something sappy and worrying. She'd be the same in his position.]
thank you.
[She thinks but doesn't type that she'll have to make it up to him when she gets back (because it's a deathflag and no one needs to be raising those).]
[ ..................... Did I give them a death flag?! Did I give them one?! No, no, no, no, no... that definitely wasn't one. I typed it without thinking, but now that I'm rereading it! No, I'm sure that it wasn't one. So, I can say... ]
