It has been several months since Qiang Shen communicated with the Primordial Goddess Ceres. During this time he has seen the changes that Zhen Lin has undergone during this time.
The first change he noticed in her is that her physical attributes had increased. Her agility has increased significantly, from this he learned because shortly after restarting classes, she was about to be hit by a moving truck (perhaps it will be truck-kun? XD) when she returned home, but she managed evade it and leave unharmed. When she told him what happened, she commented that she felt as if "something" helped her jump and avoid the truck that was going to hit her (goodbye isekai).
The second change she showed was in her personality, while before she was considered strict, she was now calmer, and more proactive. He joked with the students and he was increasingly hinted at Qiang Shen, sometimes even in public. On one occasion the directors reprimanded her for showing affection for a student, but it was thanks to Qiang Shen who told them that her family had known her for a long time and her parents asked her to take care of him at school, stating that it was a relationship of brother and sister. The teachers forgave her mainly because it was a request from the best student in the school, but they told and asked her to stop those samples of "fraternal" love in public.
The last change he perceived in her was that the climate around her was constant. It was not so hot, but not so cold either, it was a cool and pleasant climate, on occasion you could feel a cool breeze like spring and in others, especially during the P.E. The students ended up coming to the infirmary with any excuse to see the beautiful nurse and refresh themselves at the same time.
All these changes were not unnoticed by Qiang Shen, but the most significant change was not that of his teacher, it was his friends who changed the most. Knowing the relationship that Qiang Shen had with Jiang Chen who were like brothers, the revelation they gave him a few days earlier surprised him too much.
When Yin Xue saw how extremely affectionate that Zhen Lin had turned to Qiang Shen, knowing her temperament, he believed that she was going to burst with rage, however she only got a little angry and as time went by she saw that her best friend and friend were getting closer and when the 2 friends were talking after their practice of magic that Jiang Chen confessed to his friend what was happening.
"Bro, there is something I need to confess to you," Jiang Chen told him. "I like Yin Xue and I confessed today at the lunch." This revelation struck him like lightning and Qiang Shen didn't know what to say. When they left school that day, she told them that she could not accompany them on a personal matter and Qiang Shen didn't suspect anything, but when he asked his friend what her response was, he had a doubt because that could become a bit awkward but what he heard left him even more shocked. "I told her that I liked her but I didn't ask her out because I know she was in love with you, but before I left, she stopped me ..." Jiang Chen stopped a little to see his friend's reaction, when he saw the face of shock a slight smile formed on his face and then he continued, "she stopped me because she wanted to explain a few things to me. She told me that although she always had a romantic feeling towards you, it was more a child's whim and not true love, that she fell in love with the paintings, not the painter and that when she saw you again, she confused her nostalgia for remembering her childhood for love. She told me that since she knew the world of magic, her whole world changed and believed that she could get closer to you... only without knowing either of us, we got to know each other little by little and I don't know when she went, but I started seeing her differently, not as a friend but as a woman and she told me the same thing. I don't know how but I fell completely in love with her "
After saying this, Jiang Chen was silent and signs of pain, fear and anguish appeared on his face. Pain for the belief that he had betrayed his best friend by having taken his "girlfriend" even though Qiang Shen had never given a formal answer to Yin Shue, anguish at not knowing the reaction his friend would have and fear for fear of ruining his friendship, so his friend's response left him in shock.
"And what else, how does this end?" Qiang Shen asked in a monotonous voice. Jiang Chen didn't want to see him in the eyes so he just answered while his head was low "...well, in the end, she accepted my proposal so since today we are a couple, she and I". When he finished he closed his eyes tightly, waiting to receive a punch but what he received was something else.
Qiang Shen had hugged him as tears began to sprout from his eyes.
