(Um, Sorry) I’ve Been Reincarnated! c19

Editor: Poor_Hero

TN: 1 more. Do you guys want the author’s note? I am getting tired of it. Most of it is about how high her web novel is ranked at and how she cannot believe and how she thanks her readers.

I think I’ll only translate it if there’s anything interest. So there.

Right in the middle, a thick, huge table stood.
On the wall across, a huge window.
It gave the entire room a bright impression.
This was the room I had just received.

John and I were sitting opposite, facing each other at the table.

” Ah, Mary San, thank you. ”

Mary San made tea and as it was, left the room.

” ……. ”
” ……. ”

How awkward.

Somehow, John was making a stiff face as he looked at me, coupled that with his upturned eyes, he looked scary.

” …Erm… ”

When I spoke, he jumped and softened his nervous expression.

” Ah, I am sorry. ”

He smiled, embarra.s.sed and looked straight at me.

” I unknowingly got nervous. As you know, I am John Veltor, and I will be working as your tutor from today onward. ”

Oh…A gentleman…

Till now, he had defied all of my expectations. His soft manner, polite tone of speaking, none of it said ‘prideful wicked n.o.ble’.

I put down my guard and relaxed my tensed body.
….I was sorry for misunderstanding you.

With that meaning in mind, I bowed my head.

” Yes, I will be in your care. I am Williams Beryl, please call me Will. ”

When I said that, John looked shocked.
…Hm? Did I do anything weird?

For the time being, I could not think of anything so I just continued.

” Erm, what should I call Veltor Sama? ”

And John’s shocked expression changed into a good humored smile.

” You can call me however you prefer. Only… ”

With that, he had a seemingly wry smile and a mischievous expression.

” ..not Veltor please. ”

Ah, I see.

I finally believed that, indeed, this man, as rumors said, had abandoned his family name. Right now, he seemed like an honest and gentlemanly fellow and I could not sense any bad vibes from him nor he seemed like the type who used flattery.
In fact, he felt a bit like a puppy…
Ah…I couldn’t deny the possibility that he might be a sly fox…

According to my instinct, he was not a bad guy.
Happy by this fact, my face was full of smiles.

” Then, John Sensei! Would that be all right? ”

Hey, if it’s a tutor, then it could not be anything other than Sensei right!

Once I said that, John Sensei beamed at me.
…What was this sense of defeat? Hm.

He was beautiful. He was handsome. He was a bespectacled Ikemen prodigy.
…And also a gentleman.

It might had been he was nervous before. Now that I looked at him again, the first impression was not wrong. He was really an Ikemen. This was the first time I felt an intimacy with a black pupil, black haired person ever since I arrived in this world.

Grrr…. I was jealous.

It’s okay! In the future even with an average face I would be popular!

” By the way, Will Sama. ”

I nearly drowned in the tears of my thoughts before John Sensei’s voice pulled me back to reality.

” John Sensei, please stop with the ‘Sama’. ”

Again with the formal tone! As a tutor we were going to be together for a long time to come and if we were to be this formal, my upper lip was going to go stiff! [TN: In original text : My shoulder was going to go stiff. ] Ah, this was not a pun…you there, don’t say that it’s cold! [TN: Cold jokes = pun…get it?] It was an accident, just an accident.

” Then… Will San ”
” Will alone is fine. ”
” …Eh…That is a bit… ”
” It’s okay because you are my Sensei! ”

I was getting slightly impatient. With a slightly troubled face, Sensei finally agreed to call me Will.

” Ah yes Sensei, what is the matter? ”

I remembered he wanted to say something. John Sensei’s expression turned serious.

” Ah. It’s just..If you don’t mind me asking, it is a little early for a 3 years old to have a tutor. I was wondering if you made this request or was it Sir Gion’s idea? ”

This person’s eyes sparkled whenever the topic was about Father. He really seemed to admire Father. Me too, apart from his face, aimed to be like Father.

Sorry for das.h.i.+ng your hope…
I gave a small bitter smile.

” No, it was me who requested. ”

John Sensei looked very shocked.

…Yep, I was sorry for betraying your expectations…
But Sensei too, betrayed my expectations so I was not in the wrong!

” It’s Will’s…? But why? I don’t mean to be rude but boys at your age usually only think about having fun. ”
” I don’t know anything. I am proud seeing Father so needed (busy) but as for me, I can’t help with anything… ”
I looked at Sensei with a mischievous glint in my eyes.
” …And I am frustrated with that. ”

With a shocked expression, Sensei sat there, stunned.

…Sorry.
I said something outrageous, didn’t I? But there was no choice, it’s true! I could never understand the conversations carried on over my head and it was so vexing.

” So that is why.. ”

After a while, a happy smile floated up on Sensei’s face.

” Well then, let’s study hard as soon as possible, shall we, Will? ”

What a good smile you had there, John Sensei.

…Eh….is this person possible…a Spartan ‘S’….?

I, whose expectations were splendidly betrayed.
