"Bastard... How shameless!" Kalego reacted by using Iruma as a human shield, holding him between the two of them.
"Um... are you two an upperclassman and underclassman?"
"Yes, we have a very good relationship~"
"No! We! Don't!"
"Are you shy?"
"How could I be?"
Just then, Chairman Sullivan walked over.
"Oh my, it seems you're having a lively discussion."
"No, we're not!" Kalego said.
Sullivan ignored Kalego and snapped his fingers, and a picture immediately appeared behind everyone.
"Look, this is Teacher Kalego during his student days (there's a photo; if it's not in the paragraph comments, @ me)."
"Ah, his expression is the same as now," Iruma and Shesi said simultaneously.
"Si... Silence! Let's get to the interview!" Kalego said, reaching out to mess up the picture above.
"'Silence' has been Kalego's catchphrase since his student days, hasn't it? Hmm... he doesn't like noise, right?"
Kalego fell into a memory.
"In the first month of entering Babyls, I was picked on so many times by upperclassmen, and all for some inexplicable reasons. It was so annoying!" Kalego said, looking at Balam opposite him.
"After all, you stand out. Your footsteps are so loud, and your eyes are scary. But don't you remember? Getting angry and fighting or something..."
"I'm not so idle as to deliberately create trouble... Which means they mistook me for someone else. According to the upperclassmen, that person had curly black hair, a pair of horns on their head, and their attire made it impossible to tell if they were male or female."
"Isn't that you?" Balam retorted.
"I already said it's not me."
"There was no Student Council back then, and school discipline was very poor," Sullivan interrupted the memory.
"Yes, back then I kept wondering who they mistook me for, and only at the very end did I find out... that bastard was Opera-san," Kalego gritted his teeth. At this point, the image above his head changed to Opera's appearance during his student days.
"Hmm... It's a bit surprising, but did Opera-san dye his hair? If he didn't, he looks very much like Teacher Kalego," Shesi asked, raising his hand (same as above, this also has a picture; if it's not there, I forgot, just @ me).
"No, I'm the upperclassman, so Kalego should be like me. As for the hair... it's just a personal hobby," Opera explained.
"Ah... as long as I close my eyes, those things clearly appear in my mind. After that, I often asked you to buy me bread and carry things. How nostalgic," Opera said.
"Then you close your eyes! And don't put your hand so close to me!" Kalego showed strong resistance.
"Nee-nee~ Let's end the reminiscing here. Let's start the interview," Sullivan interrupted them.
"Well then, I'll participate too," Opera said, following Sullivan, and casually dragged Kalego towards them. Perhaps because he was being restrained, Kalego was unable to resist.
On the sofa, Sullivan looked at Kalego in his seat.
"Teacher! Are my two grandchildren doing well at school? Are they being bullied? Are they eating properly?" Sullivan, in a chibi form, hugged Iruma and Shesi and asked Kalego.
You just wanted to pull this stunt, didn't you... That's why you arranged for me to do a home visit, didn't you! Kalego thought angrily to himself.
Opera, seeing Kalego remain silent, went directly behind Kalego and tapped his head with a finger.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? The parent is asking you a question, hurry up and answer him."
Iruma, seeing this, also quickly tried to dissuade the two.
"Phew... Since Iruma was mentioned first, let's talk about Iruma first. Your Iruma has made great progress in this exam... His performance at school... Although he often causes problems and incidents, through these, he has accumulated experience and connections. For him, this is a valuable asset. In the Magical Apparatus Research Group's activities, he mainly organizes and repairs magical apparatus, and he also underwent training in the Student Council, experiencing new challenges."
Iruma and Shesi were both shocked that Kalego had investigated in such detail. Suddenly, Sullivan appeared behind Kalego and picked up Kalego's notebook.
"Oh oh~ How impressive!" He then immediately ran in front of Shesi and Iruma.
"Iruma, Shesi, look!"
Iruma took it and looked.
"This... This whole book is about me? Then that means..." Iruma said in surprise, then he thought of something. If his own was one book, then what about others'... Does everyone have one book?
"Indeed, making Kalego the homeroom Teacher was the right decision," Sullivan exclaimed. Kalego snatched the notebook back.
"Iruma... possesses the power to overcome all difficulties, which is a very valuable talent. But don't confuse responsibility with self-sacrifice. As for Shesi..." Kalego took out another book and began to speak.
"Before, there wasn't much to say since you were always with Iruma, and what I said to him also applies to you, Shesi. But finally, Shesi, your temperament and actions when acting alone are too dangerous. I can clearly feel that you have never trusted me or any Teacher at Babyls. I think you can try to trust or rely on someone. Although wearing a mask is better for survival, don't let the mask stick to your face," Kalego said, looking at Shesi.
Iruma, hearing this, also looked at his brother. So his brother had never trusted any Teacher?
"You are very intelligent. In the Magical Apparatus Research Club, you and third-year student Eligoth Segner seem to be developing some destructive magical apparatus. I hope you can report to me about it later."
Shesi pondered for a while upon hearing this.
"Okay, Teacher Kalego, I will report to you once it's successfully developed. Thank you for your guidance," Shesi said with a deep bow.
Iruma also reacted quickly and immediately said to Kalego, "Thank you very much." Even Sullivan, pressing on Shesi and Iruma's shoulders, said,
"Thank you very much."
Kalego glanced at the three of them and then said,
"Then I'll take my leave."
Opera walked over, carrying disposable toiletries.
"Eh? Aren't you staying here?"
"Of course not!"
Opera walked next to Yepo's owner and said,
"Iruma-sama also hopes that the Teacher can stay, right?"
"Ah... yes."
"Hey! You kid!"
"You kid? How dare you be so rude to your own master? I also happen to enjoy educating soft little familiars. Oh my~ I even have a summoning sticker here!"
"You!..."
In the end, Teacher Kalego was still forced to stay overnight, and the next day, he went to school with Iruma and the other three. This time, going to school together even made it into the school's daily newspaper, on the front page no less.
