“Yes, Leo is a genius! I’m sure of it!” Monaka claps her hands in delight.
After Philafy-sensei’s approval, the way my students look at me change drastically.
Everyone is now looking at me with envy. ……
“No! That’s a big mistake!
The reason Leopin’s coat is of such high quality is because of my needles and scissors!”
When I see the vice principal tucking the magical tools he has lent me into his breast pocket.
“This is the Soig’s divine needle and Kirsha’s sword scissors that have been handed down in my family.
With these, any fool can create high quality products!”
Philafy-sensei is horrified.
“What? The legendary god item?
But those two things aren’t god items, they’re school supplies. ……”
“No! This is my personal property! Now, I’m busy, so I’ll leave you now!”
The vice principal forcibly ends the conversation and hurriedly leaves the classroom.
As soon as he stepped out into the hallway, I heard the scream, “Keee!”, a familiar exclamation.
The students who have gathered around me seem to have been completely taken aback.
“Oh, so that’s what this is all about?”
“With the god item, anyone can make something of high quality, right?”
“Oh, I was so stupid to have even the slightest respect for this guy.”
The students go back to their seats in a dazed state.
I’m back to my old position of ‘unemployed trash,’ but I don’t care.
“I believe in you! I believe that the reason why the quality is so high is because you’re amazing!”
Because Monaka is the only one who still loves me as much as ever.
“I want to be a great craftsman like Leo-kun!”
Can you please teach me how to use a needle?”
I’m a leather craftsman and she’s a seamstress.
So even though our fields are different, I can teach her how to use a needle.
“Okay, then let’s try it together.”
“Yes!”
I sit down shoulder to shoulder with Monaka and advise her to make a patch.
“You don’t have to rush, just thread the needle slowly and with good aim.”
“Yes, Leo-sensei.”
Monaka replies honestly and begins to tweak the fabric for the patches with cute eyes.
“The trick to making things is to put your heart and soul into it.”
If it’s a gift for someone, imagine that person smiling.”
If you do that, you will naturally become more meticulous.”
“That person’s smile …….”
Monaka stops her hand and closes her eyelids as in prayers.
I’m sure she’s thinking of someone she likes.
“Oops, you should use a combination of ‘satin’ and ‘long and short’ needlepoint for the outside perimeter, it will make the finished product look better.”
The next thing I know, Philafy-sensei is peeking out from behind our desks.
The teacher is nodding and taking notes incessantly.
She said, “…… hmmm, imagine the person’s smile and put your feelings into it. ……
The perimeter is a combination of ‘satin’ and ‘long and short’. ……”
“And …… is done! Leo-kun-sensei! Philafy-sensei!”
Monaka’s hands are enveloped in a familiar light.
That light is so close to her that she flips over backwards in surprise.
