I Gave Up Their NTR Liberation Quest chapter 58

58 – Perpetrators and Victims

“In two weeks, midterm exams are scheduled.”

The day after the holiday, our homeroom teacher brought some really terrible news.

“Is it already that time… .”

Certainly, there are a lot of incidents and accidents, so it feels like time has passed slowly, but it’s that season. The midterm exam season is full of hardships and hardships.

I want to like this, but I can’t like it.

“This time, it is divided into written and practical skills, respectively. And in the case of handwriting, if you review hard on your own according to the range taught, you can get at least 40 points.”

Shouldn’t it usually be around 70-80 points there?

I shook my head in spite of the viciousness and focused on the explanation. Midterm exams are extremely difficult.

For basic problems 1 to 10, similar problems appeared every time the regression was performed, but from then on, the hardships were as difficult as they could be seen, and problems that had never been seen popped up and regression several times.

“In the case of the practical exam, considering that it is the first midterm exam, we will notify you three days before the exam.”

Oh, but you give notice three days in advance.

In the past, there were many cases where only the fact that there was a test was left and what kind of test was available on the day of the test, but this is still okay.

“Then, the notice ends here. Let’s start class.”

*****

I woke up from barely attending class and was thinking of going to lunch with Lane.

“M-What are you talking about?”

If it weren’t for the crowd blocking the road over there.

“I told you that I intend to quit the knighthood of the Reinhardt family from now on. Lady Ceres Reinhardt.”

“why?”

“why… If you ask me, I can only say that it is a personal matter.”

He asked me to talk to Ceres, but I didn’t know how to openly say that I was quitting my knighthood. I thought we would talk in a cafe or something… .

“Personal circumstances? Did he threaten to leave the family again? I’ll try drying it!”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Then why!”

Ceres screams that her vocal chords will break, but Minelle’s expression doesn’t change a bit, as if she’s talking to a wall.

Seeing Minel like that, Ceres clung to Minel like a child.

“Yes. Was I missing something? Or did I treat you hard??”

“No, my time with you was certainly happy.”

“Then why!!!”

“But it is because I am convinced that those happy times will not continue.”

After saying that, Minel handed her sword to Ceres and bowed, showing her respect for her lord.

“Thank you so far. miss.”

“Wait Minel!!”

Ceres reached out to Minel, but Minel slowly walked away from the hand and walked toward Lane.

“Branch.”

“okay.”

Without saying a word, I turned around and headed toward the field where we always gather.

Thoroughly ignoring Ceres shouting from behind.

*****

Neither the next day nor the day after that, Minel didn’t come to make me a knight’s oath.

no, it didn’t come

“Hey, Minel. tell me something.”

“ha… .

It was because Ceres didn’t even think about leaving Minel’s side.

In order to make a knight’s oath, you need a quiet, space where you can be alone with Minel, but Ceres really follows you wherever you go.

It seems that he sometimes knocks on the door at dawn, while eating, studying, and sometimes asking to be let in.

“It’s an ugly obsession.”

“Really… .”

At least, Minelle can escape Ceres’ bondage for only a short time. Taking advantage of the fact that Ceres is a wizard, as soon as class is over, if you go out to the field for a meal, you can only talk to three people like this at that time.

“By the way, Lian. I haven’t seen that blue-haired maid lately. What’s wrong?”

“yes? Oh, Rianne’s not feeling well these days, so she’s in her room. It’s not too bad, don’t worry.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Aren’t you in a position to worry about yourself?”

Minel, who was silent at Lane’s words, quietly turned her head and sighed, then looked away at the blonde hair approaching from afar.

“Haha… mandible… Minel too… You are too fast.”

“Ceres Reinhardt. Didn’t I tell you not to come near me?”

“what’s the matter? I don’t call you lady like usual… ?”

At Ceres’ words, veins gushed out of Minel’s fists.

Ceres looks like rubbish to me, who knows what’s going on inside. Of course, Minelle didn’t tell her about it, but that was because she was afraid Ceres would be too shocked to find out.

I was hiding everything for the sake of Ceres until the end.

“Ceres Reinhardt… Do you remember what happened eight years ago?”

“Eight years ago?”

Now Minelle has no reason to make secrets for Ceres.

“Yes, it is a story about the oath made eight years ago!”

“uh… uh?”

Ceres takes a step back in surprise when Minel suddenly charges at him.

“You said you would make a pact with me. But you should have known that I don’t have the magical power to make an oath!”

“Wh-what are you talking about?”

“Shut up! You pretended to make a pact with me and carved a seal into my heart. You made me your slave by pretending to ask me to be your knight!!!”

Minel’s emotions explode.

Unable to endure Ceres’ continued childishness, he poured out all of his hidden sincerity and feelings to Ceres.

“And shamelessly pampered me for eight years!”

“Hey, wait a minute.”

“I thought I just needed you! I sincerely thought that if I could serve the lord Ceres Reinhardt, even if this one body was broken, it would be okay, and I thought that it was all my feelings!!”

But no.

The emotions Minel felt were only created by Ceres’ imprint.

I have lived with false emotions, fabricated thoughts, and made-up beliefs.

“But I realized that everything I’ve been making up until now is a lie!”

Tears flowed from Minel’s eyes. Emotions that were restrained pour out like a waterfall, and the tears do not stop flowing from my eyes as if I can’t stand it anymore.

“all… It’s all made up of four years… .”

Ceres, who had been stiff at Minel’s words, opened her mouth.

“What are you talking about?”

“Huh… !”

At Ceres’ one word, Minel’s eyes widen.

I looked at Ceres with both hands trembling and Ceres flinched.

“You don’t know yet! I told you so much about what you did to me!!”

“sorry but… What are you talking about?”

Are you thinking of cheating?

Angered by Ceres’ attitude, Minelle grabbed Ceres by the collar and told him the truth.

“Eight years ago, you pretended to make an oath and engraved your mark on me… Are you planning on pretending that you still made an oath!!”

Aww… !

“ugh… ugh… Oh my gosh… !”

“Minell, calm down.”

I quietly put my hand on Minel’s hand, which was holding Ceres by the collar.

It doesn’t matter if Ceres is touched, but no matter how much the murder happens, it won’t end as normal.

“… i get it.”

“Cool! Cool!!!”

As Ceres coughed and grabbed his chest, Minelle turned her head and walked toward Lane without even looking at Ceres’ face.

“… You just have to admit it.”

“What do you mean… .”

Squat down next to the real Ceres and ask Ceres.

“Anyway, the current Minel will not return to you.”

“That’s something you don’t know!!”

… How the hell can he be so shameless?

I don’t know where the loser’s temperament went to be so stubborn.

“Ceres, what do you think you would do if a slave broke his shackles?”

“… Why is that all of a sudden?”

“Answer me first.”

To those words, Ceres answered without a second’s hesitation.

“Of course I will run away.”

“right. From the point of view of being a slave, a slave never goes back to the person who is said to be the master, out of anxiety that no matter how well the master treats him, he may be made into a slave at any time. Especially if you were forced into slavery.”

“Why are you bringing that up? Are you saying Minel was a slave now!?”

“Yeah, what is the person who put the imprint on his heart talking about?”

At my words, Ceres screamed.

“I don’t remember ever putting a stamp on Minel!”

“Minell told you. Eight years ago, pretending to make an oath and imprinting it. Even if it’s a mistake, it doesn’t change the fact that Minel was imprinted… .”

“I’ve never shared an oath with Minel, what are you talking about!”

After hearing Ceres’ words, I realized an important fact.

The perpetrator… The fact that the victim doesn’t remember what he did as much as he thinks.
