45 – Foolish Imagination
“…”
Upon receiving Enya’s question, Ed looked at her with a puzzled look.
When asked why he was holding Isabella from behind, he was speechless.
“No, how to do that…”
It was just nonsense that Enya knew that.
No wonder it was covered with curtains on all sides, and no one had ever looked through the curtains.
It was impossible to ascertain what had happened in the bed unless a camera was installed in anticipation of himself and Isabella lying on it.
“…As expected, that’s right.”
But Enya nodded as if her prediction was correct.
And he started to talk about the basis for this speculation.
“Actually… it was seen momentarily. The moment you pull the curtains and come out, the image of Isabella sleeping”
“…”
“And then, Isabella’s sleeping face is strange. It’s too lopsided… and above all, the traces of someone lying next to it… it looks like he’s holding Isabella from behind.”
Indeed, did that happen?
It was truly a monstrous body vision.
Capturing that fleeting moment of pulling the curtains and coming out and remembering it in such detail.
Well, the reason she was a swordsman genius was because of her ability to capture moments.
It is easy to learn any swordsmanship because it instantly captures numerous types of postures in detail.
“Right. Through that gap…”
So Ed was convinced.
Other cadets might not know it, but Enya can capture that fleeting frame and memorize it in detail.
“···yes. I’m sorry that I heard something between you two. But I was curious and wanted to ask. How can I get so close to Isabella… As you know, Isabella is originally my friend. So, I was just curious.”
Enya asks a question under the pretext of ‘as a friend of Isabella’.
But in reality, the relationship between the two was jealous.
He became friends with Ed first, but why did Ed hug Isabella from behind, and why Isabella allowed it?
And why Bella, who suffered from insomnia for a long time, was able to fall asleep in Ed’s arms.
I was so concerned about those things that I felt like my emotions would explode.
Until I knew the reason, it was gnawing at my nerves to the point that it was difficult to live a proper life.
Then, Ed shrugged and said.
“Well···. Actually, hugging from behind is not a big deal. It’s just a form of sleep therapy.”
Ed speaks calmly, as if something special is his job.
Enya gulped and focused on Ed’s words.
“Embracing from behind is… one of the common methods of sleep therapy. Some people sleep better when they have someone by their side.”
Enya was relieved by Ed’s answer.
It was believable from the way he spoke without emotion, as if a doctor was treating a patient.
If Ed’s words are true, he was just giving Isabella a suitable prescription.
If there was only one question, it was how Ed knew about such a cure.
To this question, Ed replied:
“Hmm… Actually, I already knew everything about sleep therapy and it was all about it. Because the village chief taught me in my hometown.”
I once learned how to sleep from the village chief.
Of course, that claim was a lie.
It was impossible to explain that it was the sleep method learned in the previous round, so the village chief who participated in the great war was sold out.
Fortunately, Enya was a believer.
“Ah… that’s how it happened…”
“right. but keep this a secret It could be embarrassing for other people to know.”
“Oh, of course! never! I won’t tell anyone!”
Feeling better, Enya replied with a bright smile.
As long as she confirmed that there was nothing special between Isabella and Ed, she had nothing to hold back.
“Hi-Hi. beer is delicious Can I have another drink?”
“Sure. As long as you don’t exceed your alcohol limit.”
“Ah~ It’s only two drinks. I can’t stand it.”
After recovering her original tension, Enya smiled and drank the beer.
After the issue that had been eating away at her for the past few days was resolved, Enya got drunk with excitement and refilled her beer over and over again.
“Hey, where is the bathroom?”
However, when I suddenly poured too much liquid into it, I had an urgent need to urinate.
Ed replied with a smile.
“there. If you go further back in the shower, you can find it.”
“yes. I’ll wash my face for a while.”
Enya leaves the room on the pretext of washing her face.
Enya left the door closed as well.
Because I don’t want to hear Ed peeing.
“phew. thank god.”
Fortunately, the bathroom was a short distance from Ed’s room.
Wouldn’t it be hard to hear at this distance?
Before long, Enya, sitting on the toilet seat, went to the toilet.
Then he buried his nose in Ed’s shirt.
It smelled like a fragrant flower.
Ed already uses something like fabric softener.
“It’s fragrant…”
Enya smiles with a red face.
The thought that he was wearing Ed’s usual clothes made him laugh.
Every time I moved my body, thinking that the soft cloth that wrapped around my skin also touched the texture of Ed’s skin made me have to pinch my thighs several times because of the erotic delusion.
“Sigh… haa…”
Enya pours beer over and over again without knowing how much she drinks.
Because of that, she was trying to feel Ed’s body odor while doing a perverted taste that she wouldn’t normally do.
Eventually, having finished playing around with Ed’s shirt, she washed her hands and checked her face.
My face turned red more than I thought, and it was a face of embarrassment.
“Am I… drunk…?”
Even though I attended a social church, I didn’t drink much, so I didn’t know how much I was drinking.
But to see her face red like this after drinking only 7 beers.
“I’ll have to be careful…”
So Enya made up her mind.
This time, don’t rush in front of Ed and act calmly.
I made a promise and poured cold water on it.
***
When I finished washing my face and returned to Ed’s room, Ed was spreading a futon next to the bed.
Enya tilted her head and asked Ed.
“yes? Are you going to bed already?”
“Oh, are you here? Now is the time to sleep. there-“
Enya followed Ed’s fingertips with her gaze.
A clock pointing to 11:30 at night.
When did time pass like this?
When I was with Ed, time seemed to accelerate.
“Ah… it’s already time.”
“yes. Shall we lie down soon?”
Ed said that and sat down on the futon on the floor.
At this, Enya said with a puzzled face.
“Oh no! You are the landlord, and you sleep in the bed.”
Then Ed smiled and replied.
“Then, you will be punished for the offense, Princess.”
“Ah… no, I’m fine.”
“You don’t have to worry. I’ve slept here a lot.”
Ed said so and slammed the rollaway bed.
Enya answered with a tilt of her head.
“You sleep a lot there…?”
“uh. Sometimes I sleep in the lab. Whenever that happens, I sleep with this on the floor.”
“···ah.”
Ed, who devoted himself to research to the point of sleeping in the lab.
Enya nodded and thought it was an Ed-like behavior.
With such passion and effort, he could have made such an incredible suit and gauntlet.
‘Ed… he works hard like this and gets ahead…’
However, the more Ed got ahead, the more Enya felt intimidated for some reason.
It was because he felt so shabby compared to him who kept getting ahead.
Although he was praised as a genius in swordsmanship, in reality, he was nothing more than a noisy empty cart.
Proof of that was his ranking.
Only ranked 5th.
Originally, I thought that even if it was impossible to reach 1st place, I would definitely be able to finish 2nd place.
However, there were many loopholes and limitations in the martial arts, and they were easily defeated after seeing through them.
-I don’t know why they insist on swordsmanship like that. It’s ruining your talent.
Also, recently, Professor Garcia has been scolded.
He asked why he chose such a swordsmanship when he had that much talent, and he was strongly advised to find a swordsmanship that suits him since he will guide him.
– No, I will definitely prove it. Let it go.
Don’t do it, he stubbornly refused.
It was because he thought that he could become the strongest if he could complete it someday.
“Hey, Enya?”
Then, Ed called for Enya.
Enya, lost in thought, just stood there blankly, so he called her out with a questionable thought.
“Oh sorry. Thinking about something else for a while.”
At this, Enya smiled shyly and scratched the back of her head.
Then Ed laughed and said, “I’m going to turn off the light, so go to bed.”
“Ah… I’m so sorry. I feel like I’m causing a nuisance.”
“It’s fine. It’s not like sleeping on a simple mattress once or twice. Then turn off the light?”
“uh? uh.”
Eventually, Ed turned off all the lights in the room by pressing the switch connected by the magic formula.
Then Enya climbed into Ed’s bed and put the comforting comforter over him.
Covering the blanket like this while the air conditioner was blowing out was somehow stable.
‘In Ed’s space… I…’
And for some reason, Enya thought this was a strange moment.
Aren’t you in the blanket that Ed covers you?
Wouldn’t this be a different level of sleeping with Isabella?
He was covering what Ed had covered, and he was also rubbing himself on the bed that Ed was rubbing himself on.
‘Ugh! I’m a changer!’
However, it was the first time she had felt this way, so even Enya herself was surprised.
How can you think of such a foolish thing?
But I couldn’t help it.
I keep thinking like that.
Isn’t this space the most personal and secret space for the person you like?
Since he was in the middle of it, he couldn’t help it even if all sorts of delusions were torturing him.
“Enya.”
But then.
Ed, who was lying on the floor, called for Enya.
At this, Enya responded to Ed in a stunned and exasperated voice, as if her absurd delusion had been exposed.
“uh? I didn’t do anything!?”
“…?”
