I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

25. Postpartum Care for Sows

What wife, I don’t have the fate to have Kefir as my wife, it’s just the big leg I’m clinging to!

Ignoring the suddenly deepening resentment of the single dog Horusov behind me, after I strenuously explained to Kefir that my relationship with him was just “roommates,” I followed a relieved Kefir and the always “outsider” Professor Moriarty, who enjoyed the show, back to the professor’s office.

The Rublyanka Academy of the Rosia Empire had officially started the new semester today, not only was the sky clear and sunny, but the number of Rosian students in the academy had also suddenly increased. The educational system of the Rublyanka Academy is special, similar to the universities I remember, where students can choose their own mentors within the academy based on their favorite subjects.

However, what surprised me was: if Moriarty had the ability to be Kefir’s mentor, then her ability must not be lacking, yet her students could be described as “few and far between,” or rather… until now, I had only seen Kefir alone.

“Professor Moriarty, it seems… you hardly have any students?”

My lower back was immediately twisted by Kefir, sending a sour thrill through me.

“Charlatan, if your EQ isn’t enough, go back and reforge it!”

“I’m just curious! Other mentors are almost bursting with students, yet our place is eerily quiet. Like that Rasputin, her course ‘How to Quickly Down a Bottle of Vodka’ is full of students.”

As for EQ? Heh, how could I possibly lack it.

On the contrary: Letty’s previous lesson made me realize: I must be wary of any character who might kill me, not to mention the current Moriarty who has always had the script to “kill me.”

The script mentioned earlier that “Moriarty’s class was attended by Kefir alone,” which I asked tentatively to confirm and as a precaution.

“It’s because, in the Rosian Empire, drinking is also part of the performance. Being able to drink can give you an advantage in various situations.”

As she spoke, Moriarty interrupted Kefir’s complaints about me, “As for the class, if you don’t mind your fiancé knowing, Kefir, I can tell you the truth.”

The next moment, Moriarty walked into her office. As she entered, without anything seemingly moving, the magic stones scattered around the office lit up simultaneously. Then, the flame magic stone began to generate heat, and the water magic stone on the desk automatically started filling the kettle, which then began to heat up.

For a moment, I even thought I had stepped into some future era.

“My course at the academy is: postnatal care for sows. Mr. Fiancé, do you think students would attend such a class?”

What!?

Before I could react, Kefir, eager to maintain the image of her mentor, had already pounced over, grabbing my collar and explaining to me.

“It’s just a way for the professor to avoid disturbances! Haven’t you noticed, charlatan!? The professor’s mastery over magic stone magic and precision instrument control has long been perfected! When she left the Great Ying Empire, the professor was already recognized as a seventh-tier magic genius by the empire!”

I never doubted it!

After all, as Kefir was explaining to me, the script had already clearly displayed more information about Professor Moriarty.

“Professor Moriarty is very skilled at controlling precise magic and magical instruments.”

Moriarty didn’t seem too pleased with Kefir’s praise and my “shocked face.”

“The new waves push the old ones, Kefir. Unlike this old granny who has no future, you have a promising one ahead of you~ And it’s not just because of your father and Her Majesty the Queen that I teach you knowledge beyond ‘postnatal care for sows.’ After all, great power must be ‘properly controlled.'”

Moriarty rested her hand on her glasses, and a strange feeling lingered in my mind, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with either the script or the professor herself.

“So originally, I just wanted to coast through an idle position at the academy, but since Kefir is already a third-year student, I suppose I still have some responsibilities for this ‘research topic competition.’ Especially since the final prize might be quite special for Kefir, I should still exert some residual heat.”

“Reward… Teacher, is there already a prize for the final winner?”

“I’ve heard it’s a magic sword from Emperor Ivan Leti’s treasury, tempered by frost. It should suit you well, Kefir.”

More than suitable!

Listen! A sword that matches Kefir perfectly, from the inside out, from top to bottom, from temperament to magic! This isn’t just a treasure for Kefir to level up with this time, I’d do a handstand spiral three hundred sixty degrees with a five-speed twist and eat dirt!

However, as excited as I was, I couldn’t appear too happy. Leti had already pacified and resolved things, and the so-called spy had been quiet for the time being. If I didn’t help Kefir level up now, I’d be hugging a useless thigh.

“Professor Moriarty, may I also participate in Kefir’s research topic competition?”

I paused, fearing that Kefir and Moriarty might think I was just here to mess around for “fun,” and added, “I’ve been through many battles and seen a lot! I’m sure I can help Kefir!”

Professor Moriarty glanced at me, smiled slightly, and looked at Kefir.

“Your fiancé says so~ Kefir, you decide.”

“He’s not…”

It took a long time before Kefir, with her head down, finally uttered those words.

From noble mtl dot come

Moments later.

After informing Kefir’s fiancé about Kefir’s research topic, Moriarty watched the two leave, claiming they were throwing a tantrum, but in reality, they were flaunting their affection.

“Not running away in wet pants, no wonder she caught the favor of the Great Ying Empire’s proud daughter of heaven.”

“Sigh… Oh queen, oh queen, the convenience you offer seems of little use to that yellow-skinned rodent. Now that he’s got a guard, it seems his glib tongue must be quite persuasive.”

A voice came from a magic stone on Moriarty’s desk.

“Big brother! You’ve deceived my feelings! You actually have a wife!”

“Nonsense, nonsense! He and I are not… not like that…”

“Sigh~ What to do now?”

Moriarty sighed, a miniature blunderbuss popping out from her sleeve, humming the Great Ying Empire’s folk song, twirling it in her hand.

Moriarty’s character illustration will be updated in the first volume soon. Recently, it’s better not to go out, just stay home and read novels. I heard that school is delayed again, so you can read novels, happy.
