130 – Baurer’s Agony (2)
Ceylon was proudly displaying the badge of Bower on his chest.
On the commute road where many people come and go.
“hahahaha.”
Laughter broke out.
‘I put it on…’
The look that Ceylon showed himself was sincere.
If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have pretended to know him wearing the badge of Bower on his chest, even though he had savagely beaten him yesterday.
That’s right!
He must have taken the opportunity and distanced himself saying it was good.
-Since you hang out with me, I really thought you and I were doing something.
From noble mtl dot com
-Are you paying attention in moderation?
Ceylon was different from that human.
With the man who was kind to himself on the outside but despised him on the inside.
Miz was overjoyed.
“Are you stupid?”
But more than that, it was embarrassing.
What was the reason for trying to get rid of Ceylon for treating him coldly?
It was to ensure that he, who had a bright future, would not be disadvantaged by being involved with him.
In this case, it would have been better for Ceylon to have been a bad person like that person, Phynesy.
Then it would have been easy to give up the relationship with him even if it hurts a lot for a while.
But now I realized that Ceylon was the complete opposite of that man, a very nice person.
I was so happy, so it was hard.
“Hey~ You two have been holding hands since the morning. You’re very close. Maybe you’re envious of this? As a member of Team 17, I’m proudly asking you to join me. If possible, I’d like to sit in the middle.”
“What are you talking about? He’s talking nonsense from the wind in the morning?”
“What nonsense! Can’t you feel my pure wish to join hands with two wonderful women!?
“Because you’re not pure at all? Kuhmm. Well, anyway. Yes? Then. Come on. Here.”
“I asked for a middle seat?”
“Ouch! It’s okay, just go away!”
“Are you going to monopolize Miss Mizu!?”
“Yes you fool!”
From now on, I had to cut off the relationship with that good person who was too much for myself.
“…”
Miz’s expression suddenly darkened.
“Ah! Look at this, Miss Aedrin! Miss Miz felt uneasy about the future of Team 17 and her expression darkened because Miss Aedrin interfered with the harmony of Team 17!”
“Is it because of me…?”
“Can’t you see it!?”
“-Sounds like that. Really. Stupid! Stop talking nonsense!”
Aidrin whispered in Ceylon’s ear.
-Ms. It looks like something is going on right now!
– Heo-eok! What happened!?
-I don’t know! So I was just about to ask!
It was pointless to keep away the noise and whisper in my ear, though.
“Ceylon-kun~”
At that time, Aegion led by Adela, Melchen-
The Adela group came over and pretended to know.
“Get out of the way! Are you thinking of taking over the Ceylon army!?”
“You’re talking like an idiot! What, you’re saying the same thing as this idiot…! There’s even a gathering of idiots!?”
Aidrin naturally stopped in front of Adela, who was about to be hugged by Ceylon.
While the two were aung daung, Agion and Melhen approached Ceylon and talked to him.
“As expected, Ceylon! Have a good time with a wonderful lady like Miss Aedrin from the morning…!”
After talking with Ceylon a few times, it was Agion who let him talk to him to see if he felt comfortable.
“Agion-kun. I ask you to take this opportunity to stop spreading strange stories about me.”
“A strange story?”
Agion looked at Melchen with a puzzled face.
“Ceylon. Of all the stories that Agion is talking about, there’s nothing that isn’t strange, so I don’t know what he’s talking about when he says that.”
“Agion-kun is talking about chanting an unknown spell, ‘Have you already given your heart to Ceylon-kun?’ before talking to the rest of the students.”
“Ah~ why is that?”
“My God. That’s why, Rani. Thanks to you, strange rumors are circulating around the academy!”
“It’s not much to say that it’s a rumor that’s caused by it, right? Never mind.”
“It’s difficult even if you think of it from Agion’s standards.”
“Ceylon. Just think about it. When players like us start invading each other’s territory, then it really becomes a mess. So, I would argue that that process, is a necessary process. Ceylon also has a word for new ladies. Be sure to ask before hanging.”
“The conversation… is so dizzy.
“You stole all the hearts of the most beautiful ladies among the freshmen and shunned them. Oh, by the way, except for Adela. To fall in the eyes of a woman like that. You’re a very sinful man too.”
“Agion, how rude of that to Lady Adela?”
“Melchen has no interest in Adela, right?”
“Because the lady is like my brother.”
“Look at that. You don’t even look at me as a woman, but what. Ah! By the way! Let’s hear the story, and now I hear Instructor Sinia is paying attention to me- I can’t believe it…!”
“Ceylon, I don’t normally pay much attention to things like this. If you have any secrets, can you give me a sneak peek? I have my own personal secret to stimulating the muscles in the lower back and upper arms wonderfully. I’ll exchange it for this. “
“Vicky-say!!! You strong ogre!!!”
“What!? Ogre!? Is there anything a woman like this inma can’t say!?”
“Ummm!?”
“You’re going to be thrilled, really.”
When the two groups met, a mess broke out in the middle of the school road as if it were natural.
The attention of the cadets passing by naturally focused on them.
“uh-“
Miz, who was watching from a distance, was worried that something bad would come out of Ceylon and Aidrin.
If he was like that, he would definitely have been.
“What am I looking at? Miss Aedrin and Miss Adela fighting over a commoner. Is that right?”
“I wouldn’t have a wish if I just talked to those two once- sh*t, commoners are better than nobles.”
“I’m sorry, but if you were a commoner like him, you wouldn’t be able to get into this academy, let alone become friends with those two.”
“Damn, I hate you.”
it was raining
Although the male students cursed at the three of Ceylon, Melchen, and Agion, what was contained there was not malice but pure jealousy.
“Ah. Agion-sama… You look so cool today…”
“The more you look at him, the more you see him, isn’t he cute?”
“I wanted Melhen to be hugged like that.”
“…I’ll respect your taste.”
“Agion and Ceylon, those two are especially difficult to talk to.”
“Luckily, Miss Aedrin was in the same group as Ceylon and got good grades in the entrance exam…”
“i envy you…”
The girls looked at Adela and Aidrin with envy.
‘I want to wear it there.’
‘I want to get to know.’
It was the general gaze of academy freshmen looking at them.
They were the center of freshmen and were the object of admiration.
“…”
Miz realized that Ceylon and Aidrin lived in a different world than he did.
It was as if a huge, thick transparent wall had formed between them and himself.
“By the way, Ceylon. What is that?”
“Ceylon, what kind of jewelry is a man?”
“Did I see it now? Fool, what is that brooch?
“Oh, Ceylon’s accessories? Look, look. What is it?”
Startle.
Miz’s body trembled.
All eyes of the group were directed to the badge of Baurer that Ceylon was wearing.
Even the cadets passing by stop and look at Ceylon’s brooch.
“Oh, wait and see. This lotus pattern is…”
Adela’s eyes tightened as she checked the brooch up close.
If it was the usual Miz, I wouldn’t have cared too much about it.
I was already used to the gaze directed at Baurer.
“…!”
but a series of events.
Is it because I met ‘that person’?
no.
Maybe it’s because of Ceylon and Aidrin.
After a long time, I got a relationship that I feel precious.
It reminded me of feelings I had long forgotten.
It was a sense of entitlement.
-Oh my God… This is Bower’s pattern!?
– Ceylon! Why such unbeautiful accessories…!
– Ceylon, what kind of jewelry is a man?
-Hmm, since I received it as a gift, I tried it on once. Isn’t it too?
-You took care of me, Ms.
Miz’s sense of entitlement created a terrifying sight in his head.
What if Ceylon and Aidrin, in fact, despise me deep down like that person?
“hahahaha…”
Even just imagining it makes my heart ache.
Suddenly, Miz’s breathing was disrupted, and she couldn’t take it any longer and ran away from the two of them.
***
As a child, Miz was resentful of her origins.
It was natural.
-Sorry~ My parents told me not to hang out with you.
-Kyahahahahaha~ Bauruda~ Run away~
Every time he meets another noble child, he has a prejudice against his origin and blindly despises him. How can he have a sense of belonging and pride in his origin?
Even the Bower family customs encouraged such humility.
He also said that it was a karma they had to shoulder.
The Bauer family pursued a semi-monastic life.
-no.
Miz didn’t want that.
Why should I pay karma for the sins of my ancestors?
Why should I atone?
I want to make normal friends like everyone else, and I want to date a cool guy.
Why should I take for granted being despised?
I won’t give in to fate
Miz made that promise in her childhood.
I will become a person who is respected by others regardless of where I come from.
Furthermore, he would make Bower a family respected by others.
Did that effort pay off?
-hi? My name is Funesi.
-…what did you say to me?
-huh.
-why?
– Why? Because you want to be friends?
-Can’t you see my hair color?
– Can you see it?
-Don’t you know where I am from?
-know.
– But why?
-Why is that?
-…an interesting approach.
The age of mid-to-late teens, around the time Mizu’s ego was established.
Someone approached her.
Funesi Harem.
She was a girl from a high-ranking aristocratic family who, unlike Bower, was highly respected in the West.
Miz had a hard time dealing with her.
He was also clumsy in dealing with her.
– Miz. Where did you suddenly disappear yesterday?
-at home.
-why?
-Because you look busy with other people.
-What is it. Miz is really fun, right? Don’t do that today, why don’t you follow me?
Even so, Funesi got along well with Miz.
no.
The expression “I took you with me” might be more appropriate.
At the time, Miz lived in Rahtel, a free city located in the west.
High-ranking aristocratic yet extroverted, Funesi occupied a central place in the society of aristocratic ladies of Rachtel’s age.
One day.
Funnessy invites Miz to a meeting.
-That hair color…
-Are you Bower?
-Who invited Bower?
-Hey, what’s wrong with my ‘friend’?
-Ah~ Me again. He was a ‘friend’ of Funesi~
-It’s also Funesy. To be friends with Bower?
It was a shockingly happy day for Miz.
Participating in the social church he longed for was not enough, so he was able to become the center of the social church because Funesi took care of it.
-Is this your friend…?
With that opportunity, Miz opened her heart to Funesi in earnest.
He considered Funesi his best friend and tried to look good and be nice to her.
but.
It was strange.
– Funesy. This is a bracelet I made myself.
-Kuh-kuh-kuh, it’s a bracelet I made myself.
– Ha… Miz. I beg you, please don’t do something like this. Are you asking me to wear something like this?
-…sorry.
When they tried to keep their distance, Funesi became closer.
As we tried to get closer, we started to move away.
– My fault.
Miz thought it was because she was bad at dealing with people.
I worked hard to become a person who suits Funesi.
and one day
The opportunity to show off your efforts has arrived.
Funesi held a meeting to celebrate his birthday.
Miz went to the mansion in Funesy, dressed in the elaborately prepared gifts and fancy clothes she had prepared just for a day like today.
-…Why are you here?
It was Funesy with a puzzled expression who greeted Miz.
-uh? It’s Funesi’s birthday today, so I’d like to congratulate her…
When Funesi asked in bewilderment, Miz answered even more bewildered.
-Did I give you an invitation?
-invitation…?
-Ha… What should I do with him?
Her friends gathered around Funesy mocked Miz.
– What is that?
– How did you get Lord Rodran’s dress?
-First of all, don’t let this leak outside. Lord Lordran might collapse in shock if he found out that Bower was wearing his dress.
-Quack-quick-quick.
-…
Miz looked at Funesi, blushing with shame.
The girls usually made fun of Miz, but whenever this happened, Funesi would defend Miz.
-Quack-quick-quick.
Instead of defending Miz, Funesi laughed at her with them.
