The Nerdy Young Lady’s Rental Boyfriend - Chapter 94



94 – Afterword – Guero

“Haam…”

It was a languid afternoon with the sunlight shining outside the window and a yawn forming on my lips. Unable to hold back the drowsiness that came over him, he opened his mouth wide, and the professor who was teaching the class was startled and turned his head away.

Did it look that scary? Well, it might have been a scary sight for that narrow-minded human professor. A student who was twice my height opened his mouth, showing his teeth.

But this peaceful daily life was too boring to hold back a yawn, and the events I looked forward to were buried in the name of memories. At least the friend who could relieve my boredom has gone away to a distant world. He had no choice but to sink into boredom like a bull grazing.

“Haaam…”

Today, I noticed the empty seats next to me. Memories of the past, which were constantly noisy, now seemed like a distant story. Were they in such a hurry to move out of the way to make it easier to carry this large body? As I chewed up the boredom like grass, all sorts of thoughts came to mind.

In the end, what came to mind was an idea I had had for a long time. A small fertilized egg that I have secretly harbored since the day I made my first friend at the academy. Now, that sentence, worn and worn and even giving off a musty scent, came to mind once again.

…

Koture. Should I buy it?

“Umm…”

I’ve been wrapping my head around this for a long time, but I can’t come to a conclusion. I crossed my arms and quietly thought.

Yes. Koture. Until now, I couldn’t do it because I was afraid that bastard would make fun of Ellen. Because she was the kind of person who would nag me over trivial things like a strict mother-in-law. For her, having him gone also meant that she could finally do whatever she wanted. Even things like Koturre, which she thought were strange.

But if you think about it, there was not a single reason to think that way. No matter how you think about it, it’s cool. If you walk around, it’s more noticeable than a necklace that gets buried in your chest. Moreover, it has the symbolism of testifying to the oppression that has been overcome.

Honestly, it could be said that it is one of the highest-end accessories that a beastman can wear. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became with Ellen’s narrow-mindedness.

Nevertheless, the reason I am still hesitating is because I belong to a society with many humans, not beasts. Therefore, a human was needed to evaluate it objectively. Not a nerd like Ellen, but a cultured person with an objective perspective.

For example, Yuna.

…

Today was a day when I really wanted to see her.

“Umm…”

“Okay then… That’s all for today’s class. We’ll continue the rest next time.”

While I was worrying, the class bell rang. Professor Edman was paying special attention to this issue, but there was no time to worry about it. One thing was important. To do koture or not.

“Hmm…”

If I write a letter like this, Yuna will be bothered. Even if you weren’t, you would be busy with that cheesy Ellen.

“Over there…”

“I should buy a leash instead of a nose leash…”

“Hey Miss Guero…?”

“Huh?”

What is it? There’s no one to talk to me. Feeling a doubt, I turned my head and an unexpected face came into view.

“Elise?”

“Ugh.”

She flinched and flinched when I called her name. These people, including the professor, seemed to think that beastmen had a habit of cannibalism.

I don’t eat it because it doesn’t taste good.

I made a sullen expression and opened my mouth wide for no reason.

“Why. What’s going on?”

“That…That…”

Elise, who was showing her fear through her body language, approached me again with a determined expression on her face.

“I want to talk to you. Can you give me some time?”

“You want to talk to me? You?”

“Ugh…But it’s not that serious…Will it be okay?”

“Hmm…”

I was worried. It’s annoying, and honestly, Elise and I don’t have a very comfortable relationship. Moreover, after that incident, Elise became somewhat gloomy, so she did not want to get close to her. In fact, aside from the crown prince, she is the person she doesn’t get along with the most…

…

Because he is human…

“…Okay then. Just sit down.”

“Huh? Huh? Well…Thank you, Ms. Guero.”

I thought for a bit and then nodded when she nodded, and Elise hesitantly sat down next to her. I laid her body down on her desk so she wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.

“So what do you want to talk about?”

“Rather than talking, I want to ask you something…”

“What is it? Tell me. I will listen.”

“Well…What happened to Eren and Yuna? I haven’t heard from them since they left…”

“Ah, that.”

After her hesitation, the question that came out was ultimately about that guy. Come to think of it, she had applied for a leave of absence secretly, so no one at the academy knew about her circumstances. From Elise’s point of view, she couldn’t help but be concerned.

But I wonder how much I can tell you. Of course you shouldn’t talk about this world. Is it okay to talk about living together? No, if we’re going to talk about that, we also have to mention the duke family.

My head started pounding for no reason as I tried to think complicated thoughts about something I had no interest in. I eventually brought up another story to put off my thoughts.

“Anyway, is it okay to ask this? Didn’t the crown prince say something?”

“That will be fine. I haven’t said a word to Claes-kun since then.”

“You didn’t say a word? Why?”

“That’s right… Actually, we’ve come to realize that we’re not interested in each other.”

“Hmm…”

Well. Elise wanted to become the emperor’s daughter-in-law and become successful, and she just wanted to pretend that the crown prince was a good man. In some ways, their breakup may have been natural.

Still, Elise is now the head of the Academy and the Crown Prince has nothing to worry about, so she will both take care of themselves. I envy you. Even after going through something like that, she doesn’t have to worry about making a living.

“So Miss Guero…”

“Huh?”

“So what happened to Ellen?”

“Ah. That’s right.”

While she was lost in her useless thoughts, Elise quietly asked a question. She must have become a little impatient, and before she knew it, Yuna’s name was missing from her question.

It seemed like he still had lingering feelings for Ellen. After much thought, she came up with only one conclusion.

“As you might have guessed, he left with Yuna. I heard he found a house, so I guess the two of them will live well together now.”

“You two are living together? Didn’t the Duke’s family say anything against it?”

“It seemed like I figured it out. I don’t know anymore.”

“Huh…?”

I just shrugged my shoulders at Elise, who opened her mouth in vain. And then she finally opened her mouth to ask the question I wanted to ask.

“Okay, now I have something to ask…”

Boom!

“I…I don’t know! How can you do that?”

“I-C. I’m surprised.”

But then Elise suddenly slammed down on her desk. The scared look from earlier was gone, and her clenched fists suddenly had a unique boldness.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know! We were that close, right?”

“No, you might not know. I just hit you…”

“Just friends? That’s not possible! Did you think I didn’t know that we were much closer than that?”

“Okay, lower your voice. If you don’t, I’ll catch you.”

“…”

I don’t know if the threat worked, but Elise flinched and looked around. She then lowered her voice and asked in a whisper.

“…But Ms. Guerro was Ellen’s closest friend. How could she lie and say she didn’t know?”

“I really don’t know. And we were just friends.”

“Where is the friend between a man and a woman?”

“You know. Even the species are different. How…”

“Miss Guero. I am not a naive girl like Yuna. There was something more than friendship between the two. That is why they were so close together.”

“It’s true that it’s not.”

I was starting to get a little annoyed. But Elise did not back down and she continued to push.

“Really? Then, as Ms. Guero said, how could two people of different races become best friends?”

“That’s because that bastard wasn’t normal, so she was able to become friends with Suin.”

“And Ms. Guerro. No matter how naughty Ellen’s pranks are, she never gets angry. How could she do that if she wasn’t liked?”

“It’s because I’m nice. If I wasn’t, I would have killed half of you a long time ago.”

“Conclusively, the last time I saw you, I even let you touch her breasts. Is this also an issue that can be overlooked just because you’re nice?”

“…”

She should have just killed her then.

At this point, she had no excuses. How can I logically explain that Ellen is an idiot beyond her imagination?

“Ha…”

In the end, I sighed as if I was breaking down. And then he brought up a basic story to Elise.

“Elise. You humans are always in heat, so you could say there are no friends between men and women. But that’s not the case with us. There are times when beastmen want to love and times when they don’t. They’re different from humans who frequently bite and suck and become passionate.”

“But that doesn’t mean you don’t feel that way at all on a regular basis.”

“I don’t listen at all. Not at all. I never listen.”

“Still…”

You are so persistent.

“Then when does the estrus season come? But doesn’t it come about once a month?”

“They don’t come that often. At most, three or four times a year. If there are no male beastmen around, it’s once a year.”

“Ah…I see.”

Only then did Elise nod her head. She was finally convinced, she tried to reassure herself, but she tilted her head again.

“But it doesn’t mean it comes once a year. That means I’ve been in heat at least once so far. What did you do then?”

“At that time, it was just…”

“Just?”

“…I guess I just solved it on my own. Do I even have to tell you that?”

“No, I was just wondering what happened with Ellen at that time…”

“Nothing happened. She’s not that close to him. So she doesn’t know the details of what happened to him. That’s enough now, right?”

“Yes…”

Elise finally nodded her head. I sighed and looked away, as if I had just swatted away an annoying fly.

“…”

Has the sunlight become darker? I felt like the sunlight shining outside the window was stinging me. Her head was pounding and the back of her neck was getting hot for no reason, so it seemed like there was still a long way until fall.

“Oh, Miss Guero. You said there was something you wanted to ask me earlier. What is it?”

While I was staring blankly out the window, Elise asked a question. I was lost in her thoughts and foolishly asked back.

“Uh…What?”

“No, I said there was something I wanted to ask you earlier…”

When Elise looked at my face, she suddenly stopped speaking. She then narrowed her eyes and asked.

“After all, what happened with Ellen? She wasn’t just her friend, right?”

“What are you talking about? It’s not like that.”

“No, should I show you the mirror? I’m sure something happened.”

“Ha…”

I turned my head for no reason. I could tell without even asking what the state of my face was right now. It’s always like this when I think of my embarrassing past.

…

At that time, I should have just endured it alone.

I answered with a red face, pondering my useless regrets.

“I heard nothing happened…”

“Seup…Haa…Seup…Haa…Ah…Damn…”

“…”

“Seup… Haa… Uh… Mr. Real…”

“…Guero.”

“What?”

“How long do I have to stay like this?”

“I told you to just survive today…Don’t talk to me. I’ll feel ashamed and die.”

“hahahaha…”

…

“Well… Can’t you at least loosen your arms? Your body temperature is so high that it’s starting to get hot.”

“No. If I don’t do this, I think someone will attack me.”

“But that doesn’t mean you have to back-hug.”

“Better than mounting…”

“That’s a good thing.”

…

“Rather than that, is it really just a matter of smelling it like this? There’s no need to do anything more, right?”

“Okay… Anyway, if I smell the male scent, it’s at least bearable…”

“Even if the species is different, it’s okay as long as it’s a male. Then just do it with the animals.”

“They can’t communicate.”

“You talk like you can communicate with me.”

“And that’s what you’re saying. Is anyone really going to be okay, idiot…?”

…

“…It’s so hot that I’m starting to get annoyed. How did you solve it in the past? It wasn’t always like this, right?”

“Of course I solved it by myself… Would you have always been like this if it were me?”

“But why don’t you solve it yourself this time?”

“There’s no place. The walls in the dormitory are thin so you can hear everything. So should we do it on the street?”

“I understand, so don’t hug me tight. Since you keep pressing your chest, it’s sweaty and wet.”

“You’re so picky…”

“Is this the attitude of someone who asks for a favor?”

…

“Stop squirming. I’m hypnotizing you that it’s not you. If you keep moving, it’ll remind me that it’s you.”

“It’s uncomfortable, what should I do?”

“If you just wait a little longer… Hey, are you really standing right now?”

“…Who’s standing here? They’re talking bullsh*t.”

“Why are you hesitating? It’s okay. Just imagining it makes my head hurt even more.”

…

“Hey Guero.”

“What. Why again?”

“But does it really have to be like this next year?”

“If I don’t find a boyfriend by then.”

“There is no other beast in this academy other than you.”

“Ha…”

It was a painful point. I got irritated thinking that it would have to be like this again next year.

But even then, his scent penetrated my nostrils. A male-specific sweat smell that makes your head spin when you smell it quietly. Without realizing it, my tail twitched and my ears kept twitching.

In the end, I obeyed my instincts and buried my face in his hair. And along with the rising desire, I poured out my true feelings.

“He really looks like a dog…”
