The reason for going to Mu is not difficult.
This is because the royal knight who came to us to deliver the letter also found Mew’s whereabouts after completing the delivery.
Obviously she was invited too.
Leaving aside the question of whether to attend or not, once you say you go, will you go with us? … To be honest, I don’t think it’s naive, but for the sake of politeness, you should ask– I had the same mind.
After a while.
“I’m not going.”
This was the response I got within 5 seconds of finding the Mu in the 3rd grade 1st grade gymnasium.
“… Aren’t you going with me?”
“No, I’m not going.”
“Are you saying you won’t attend at all?”
“… … .”
Whoo-
q
Mew, who lowered her sword in a modest posture, glared at this side while brushing her sweat-soaked hair.
“It doesn’t matter whether it is or not. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Did you come and disturb me to ask such a useless question?”
“It’s useless, this… … .”
I blurted out my words. Mew must have been there too. You must have seen and heard what Yuri and her older brother had to say and what kind of farewell they finished. But he really didn’t seem to care. However, due to her personality, the reason is plausible.
Mew opened her mouth carelessly.
“It’s useless. Why do you have to go to the funeral of a family you don’t even know?”
Mu is not friendly with Yuri. To be precise, Yuri tried to be friendly, but Mu refused and pushed him away every time. For that reason, the only first-year classmate who can be said to be Mew’s friend now was Sasha Elne, who stubbornly clings to even Mew’s disgusting gaze—close to disregard in fact.
What am I… I still think of you as friends.
I don’t know how the MU treats me.
“I have no reason to go. go and do what i do consolation? I’m not really sad, but what comfort? I can’t do that. What else do you say to your family? He’s not a friend of the bereaved family, and he’s not even related to him. I wonder why the invitation came to me in the first place.”
I could understand what she was saying, but it didn’t seem like Rubia was next to me.
“However… … .”
“okay. If that’s what you mean.”
I stopped Rubia from opening her mouth and trying to step out, and I said willingly. Mew was silent for a moment, then glanced alternately at me and Rubia next to me.
“I wish I had known.”
He twisted the corners of his lips as if to laugh.
“I don’t think it was necessary for the two of us to come together. Are you doing this on purpose to make me look like a f*cker? If so, that’s success. It’s so f*cking crazy right now.”
“… … !”
“I feel bad. You guys hang out with each other here. I won’t disturb you. then.”
Sarreung-
After leading the hilt to the scabbard at an invisible speed, he left us in the dark and left the gym with long black hair fluttering.
“… … .”
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a harsh word from Mew. It was a very strange feeling. So much so that I don’t know how to express this.
Rubia, who was rubbing the nape of her neck in an indescribable feeling, looked back at me with a stiff body and asked carefully.
“… … Ezio, did he ever do that to you?”
Basically, Mew was cold to others, but was kind to me, so it’s natural to say that. The relationship between Rubia and Mew was not so good. Rubia seemed to be familiar with Mew’s attitude like that, but now she was expressing doubts because I was by her side.
“It wasn’t like that.”
“… … .”
Then why are you there, I didn’t even say the same thing. That’s right, he just kept his mouth shut. ‘Cause I’m looking at it a little bit here.
Before the strange air current between them and the atmosphere became more dull, I led Rubia out of the arena.
“Let’s go out and wait for Stella to come. I said it wouldn’t take that long, so would you like to do some homework together at the library?”
“Uh huh. okay… … .”
… … Meanwhile, Rubia followed Ezio’s footsteps and thought quietly.
‘That’s what he meant.’
What Mew said in the labyrinth.
-I’m thinking of giving up at this point.
now,
He seemed to know a little bit about what had happened between the two of them.
Because she knew Ezio, who seemed to be close with her ex, Rubia couldn’t quite understand how the current situation was feeling for her.
Something…
Something… …
It’s not very comfortable to think about the disturbing Ezio, but when I think about the current state of Mew, who had such a passionate heart for Ezio… … .
… …
Again, it’s not very comfortable.
No matter how friendly or disliked it is.
The moment he imagined the process he had gone through until his single-minded heart, which he had been envious of, was broken, he began to sympathize violently with the mourning and mourning.
That was Rubia.
It must have been that kind of Rubia.
‘If you feel like this… … I can’t… … .’
In a very small corner of his heart, he found himself strangely excited… … .

Stella, who had gone out to her hometown, returned after about three hours had passed.
“Thanks for your work. It’s good to go back now.”
“I, miss. When the head of the family knew that the young lady had gone, he contacted me… … .”
“go back. look at it like.”
“… … Okay. But—”
I saw a man in uniform talking to Stella in front of the dormitory stop.
Rubia and I were walking there together to meet Stella, but when we sensed something unusual, we looked at each other for a moment and stopped.
“Didn’t you come all the way here to pick up my luggage? Even though outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, I even used my own hands. Are you going to ask me for anything more than this?”
“… … No, miss. just.”
“If not, go back now. Oh, the burden is on me. It is a valuable item, so please hand it over carefully. not to drop it.”
Stella receives the luggage from the vassal of my family. One high-quality paper bag, and one neatly wrapped clothes hanging on a hanger. The former is just a paper bag, but it is very luxurious. Why? … .
“As you can see, I am doing well. There is no problem, and what the head of the household asked for… … I’m trying my best. So.”
Stella could only see the back of her face, so she couldn’t confirm her expression, but the tone of her voice seemed to be very stiff.
“Be sure to tell your lord. No need to see off. We will go to the kingdom on our own. So, if you provide unnecessary aid, I will also not keep my promise. tell me so You know, right?”
“Oh, lady… … .”
“I will ask you to check the access records in exactly thirty minutes. If you’re still here, how would I act… … I don’t know either. then.”
Contrary to what I thought, Stella’s face turned towards us, leaving a bright smile on her face.
Soon, he found us standing idly and he blinked. Stella’s head tilted slightly.
“… … Hey, are you with me?”
“Ah oh. I was waiting.”
Stella, who is still smiling, continues the conversation.
“Why are you doing this? Come on inside. I brought what I promised.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
Stella approaches and leads us into the dormitory grounds. A very graceful gait was made at a very high speed. We were the ones who hadtily turned our backs before we missed her, but in an instant, my eyes met the man in uniform who was drooping in front of the station and sighing.
A sharp feeling immediately lifted me up. Eyes resembling those of birds of prey seemed to pierce through me. The man with the distinctive features immediately straightened his crumpled eyebrows and turned his body in the opposite direction. It was an unintentional act.
Are you from Stella’s family?
Indeed, it was not glamorous.
It feels more like an iron sword than a person.
“… … .”
Stella, who resolutely gives a congratulatory order to such a person, was also a moment that made me realize once again that she is a more precious status than gold… … .

“I brought the size according to what you told me… … It may not fit, so would you like to try it on now?”
These were the words Stella handed to Rubia and me in a black suit and shoes, a black coat dress and high-heeled shoes, respectively.
Subtle and luxurious gloss. The fabric looks very expensive. I don’t know what it is made of, but at first glance it looks expensive. Black jacket and pants as black as pitch black. shoes. White shirt and black tie. It was truly the pinnacle of the pinnacle. In accordance with the etiquette, there are no excessive patterns or decorations, all in black.
“Why, somehow I feel like I’m going to fall… … .”
Rubia, who was looking around the high-heeled black shoes, muttered like that. You must have worn it a few times at a party or formal event in middle school, but it didn’t seem like you were really used to it as it was literally only a few times.
“Thanks for the loan, Stella. I will dress well.”
“You’re welcome.”
Stella grinned at my words.
“But what about you, Stella?”
“… Me? I am already there. You just need to check it out. Come on and wear it. Rubia, I’ll be there to help you, so go into the room together.”
“Yes. okay… .”
“Ezio-san, I’ll see you here when you’re all dressed up.”
“okay.”
As I nodded, Stella, with her hair bowed slightly, took her clothes with Rubia and headed to the entrance of the dormitory in Building 2.
So, I went into the dormitory in Building 1 with a paper bag in hand.
“What is that?”
Today, I received such a question from Gabriel, who seemed to be suffering from the health circle brothers.
“sables.”
“… sables?”
“I have a funeral to go to.”
“… funeral? who?”
“Yuri brother.”
“What? who is that… … ah.”
When I returned to Frontier, the image of me carrying someone’s body had long since spread widely within the Epic class. Not to mention the body’s identity. Gabriel had even witnessed it himself, so it must be difficult. As if he knew it well, he sat back down with his half-raised body from the sofa.
“But why are you going there?”
There was something more certain than the answer, “Because the bereaved family is my friend.”
“Are you invited?”
“… ? Did you get an invitation?”
“uh.”
Shaking her head, Gabriel points to sleep with her hand.
“Did I not get it?”
“Then I didn’t invite you.”
“… ? why? Aren’t I her friend?”
“I don’t think so.”
Let me shake my head flutteringly.
“Hey, he and I are still in the same class.”
“I guess that’s all.”
“… … .”
Gabriel scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Then he looks at me intently. With a somewhat wrinkled face, he pouts his lips. It was such a disgusting sight that I almost threw out my fist without realizing it.
“I didn’t mean to say something like this… … .”
“If you don’t want to, don’t do it, dude.”
I cut in the middle because I knew what I was trying to say. Gabriel gasped and scratched his head again. The head that has been bent straight behind the back of the sofa slides over.
“done. have a good trip If you go and get some stalking ladies with that handsome face, hand over a few to me too. This older brother is not satisfied with that… … .”
“I’m going to the funeral, son.”
“That and that are different. Love blooms regardless of time and place. The same goes for funerals. How much do you all feel lost? If a person with destiny to fill the void in your heart at that time comforts you by your side… … what?”
Gabriel said with a look on his face that suddenly realized something.
“… … Come to think of it, that person called you and you.”
Before I could even finish the words, I was already grabbing the door handle of my room and opening it.

“Heh… .”
“Oh, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay… … continue.”
“I don’t think you’re okay… … I’ll let you go a little bit. Wait.”
“Heh… ah… .”
“How are you? Are you still sick?”
“Uh huh. Nope. It doesn’t hurt anymore… … .”
In the process of tightening the waist strap of the coat dress she wore outside after putting on the underwear, Rubia wrinkled her eyes and let out a shallow moan.
“I did it because my waist was so thin that I couldn’t tighten it too loosely… I’m not quite sure how much to tighten. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no. Even if it’s okay.”
slurp, slurp-
“Okay, that’s it. Would you like to take a look in the mirror?”
“Uh huh. thank you… … .”
thump-
Rubia, who finished wearing her shoes, looked at herself reflected in the full-length mirror.
A jet black coat dress with six buttons. A string tied around the waist like a belt. The sleeves moderately covered the wrist, and the overall length was enough to cover the thighs and reveal the calves like white jade. The color contrast was absolutely extreme. black and white. The difference between the covered area and the non-covered area was very noticeable.
“The length seems appropriate… … That’s fine. I’m glad I don’t have to increase or decrease it. What do you think, Rubia-san?”
“… … Oh yes. I think I’m fine too.”
Actually, Rubia doesn’t know much about clothes. Because of this, at beauty salons, etc., ‘Are you okay with this, customer~?’ Like a person who unconditionally answers yes to a question asked, he nodded his head and looked at it.
It’s actually trying on a mourning robe (喪服), but I can’t even express my compliments while squealing because it looks good. So, after Stella, who replaced Rubia with a bright smile, looked at Rubia,
“Tell me honestly. Rubia.”
“… What, what?”
Turning round and round behind Rubia’s back, she clasped the hem of her dress, which was pulled particularly tight, and spoke softly.
“Are you here for a little bit?”
“Uh-”
Stella’s prediction was correct. Rubia in the mirror crouched down and let out a shallow scream. Stella’s smile grew stronger.
“It’s amazing~. It was never like this when I wore it.”
“Hey, Stella… … .”
I’m sorry, but this wasn’t a waistband issue. In order to relieve the feeling of tightness in a specific area, you have to loosen a few upper buttons inevitably. The neatness point had to be cut. If his conduct was not correct, he could receive unfavorable glances.
So, Stella pondered for a while.
“If you feel very uncomfortable, just go outside… … .”
“Oh, no! it’s okay! yes! You don’t have to! Because this is not so inconvenient… … .”
Rubia waved her hand in denial, so she looked at Rubia with worried eyes.
“Are you really okay?”
Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Rubia nodded her head several times. It was true that it was okay. I only wore it for one day, but this kind of discomfort was enough to bear.
“Now let’s go. Ezio will be waiting for you.”
It’s not that I’ll wait, it’s already been waiting, but in any case, Rubia and Stella, who had been rehabilitated, went out together.
#19
“hi? Where are you going to the wedding?”
“No, the funeral… .”
“ah… .”
“Uh, what kind of filming are you doing? Why are you dressed so nicely? … Hey, but are you Ezio Cranil? Right? I’ve seen it a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen it up close. A lot of my friends told me that you are very handsome. But really… When would you like to have dinner with my friend? Of course we will buy it.”
“Ah, ah. ahaha… . Thank you for your words… . Just words… .”
“Wow, wow… … crazy, dude Where did you get that suit? It’s a very expensive fabric. But I don’t think it’s a brand. Maybe the chief designer made something special… ? No, that’s it too! junior! you are really cool! After all, he is a talent that is essential to our circle!”
“A friend lent me this. And please don’t make a fuss and go away. Because of the senior, I get more attention for nothing. please.”
“Because I’m not a senior, I’m an older sister!”
“Oh, little!”
I suddenly thought of
… … Would it have been necessary to meet again here while wearing clothes?
“ha… … .”
More than twenty minutes had passed since arriving at the vacant lot, but Ezio had to suffer from the countless interest of students passing by, waiting for Stella and Rubia, who were still not thinking of returning.
‘When are you coming, these guys.’
just go back He went back and reconciled again and said that he was a good fit for the kids. No, actually, the size was just right, so thank you for lending me. I guess I’ll just have to do that. Ezio bent his head to the sky and then bent down again, and finally, the door to the dormitory in Building 2 slid open.
They looked around and found the silhouette of Ezio Cranil sitting on a bench in the distance with a restless face.
“… Uh, is that Ezio?”
“I think you are right… ? what.”
With a strange look on his face as if he was familiar with something, he slowly approached him.
and.
“It’s late, guys. What are you doing now?”
Their mouths opened slightly as they faced Ezio, who slowly got up as they kept touching that part with their hands, probably because they wore the tie wrong.
It was absolutely not intentional, and it was a very natural reaction. Just like the brain evokes a sense of urgency when you see the wonderful scenery of Mother Nature at a glance… … .
The Epic Class uniform also made his superior physical condition stand out enough, but Ezio’s appearance in a neat suit is more than real… She was showing off her beauty to the limit as if it were hanging on a painting exhibited at an art exhibition.
Sharp, slender jawline. A sharply raised nose. In the gray hair that fell calmly, his intelligent blue eyes gleamed dazzlingly.
With such a mysterious atmosphere of Ezio, the black conquest of black like obsidian makes the viewer feel the solemnity of nature.
Even though she was wearing high-heeled shoes, when Ezio looked down at her from a position that would not be at eye level for a long time, Rubia felt as if she had stopped breathing.
heartbeat-
It felt like my heart was broken. Why are you doing this? .
Rubia, whose face was flushed red, lost her ability to speak, and Stella, who returned to her sanity one step ahead of her, nodded her head in a hurry.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. There was one minor problem with the clothes.”
“Oh, it’s okay. Because I didn’t wait long. I was just embarrassed to be outside like this… … .”
Man, with such a unique appearance, the attention of those around him would have been inevitably focused. Stella smiled softly.
“Anyway, I’m glad you got along well, Ezio-san.”
“Ah oh. you too.”
For you, Stella was wearing a uniform.
“Rubia, you’re fine. There is no need to worry if the quality is not right.”
If the ladies were jealous, they would be jealous, and no one at tomorrow’s meeting would swear by her amazing beauty and dress.
but
“… … .”
“… … Rubia?”
There is no answer from Rubia. It looks like he died standing up.
“Ahhh. yes!”
At that moment, the resurrected Rubia opened her mouth.
“Hey, I don’t know if I can say something like this… … Very, very well suited Ezio. Totally surprised ahaha… … .”
Although it was a funeral attire, it was true. Even if he tried to keep the explicit praise in his heart, he had no choice but to spit out a single word with a clumsy smile… … .
“Oh yeah? thank you.”
“Uh huh… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Originally, the confrontation that should have followed did not come out of Ezio’s mouth. Rubia checks her attire to see if there is something strange inside. She curls her pale pink hair that sits softly on the hem of her robe, and curls her tight upper body slightly. It’s embarrassing when it’s highlighted too much… … .
How much time has passed like that?
In fact, it was less than a minute.
“… … Are you okay now? i change clothes Hurry up and change your clothes.”
In the end, there was no praise from Ezio. Rubia pouted her lips slightly, a mixture of regret and strangely dissatisfaction.
Stella was watching it from the side.
“Wait a minute, Ezio.”
“… yes?”
With an unknown smile, he took a step closer.
“You didn’t tie your tie properly.”
“… Oh, did you? I was a bit weird too. Because this is different from the uniform and the way it is tied… … .”
“I’ll do it again.”
“… uh?”
“Stay still.”
Whoops, whoops-
Stella raises her claws. Cold hands on the nape of his neck. Stella’s squishy fingers gently grabbed Ezio’s tie.
“It’s not that the method is wrong, but it’s out of shape. Once you unlock this… I have to pull it here… The angle is not crooked.”
“Uh, uh… .”
Ezio was forced to stiffen himself as he slidly wraps the knot with his skillful dexterity, an unfamiliar feeling.
“Well, how are you? Are you a little more determined now?”
Tight— Stella, who finally pulled down the end that had been put into the hook, said with a triumphant look, with her slightly lifted claw back down.
Ezio murmurs in a shaky voice.
“… It’s true. It’s completely different from what I tied up.”
“Ezio-san also had some shortcomings. if it goes like this… You’ll have to leave it to me tomorrow. I’ll hang it up again before I leave.”
“If you do, thank you. Please.”
“Sure. Whoops.”
Hahaho- Ezio and Stella, who briefly portrayed husband and wife-like appearances before going to work, are a bird that creates a warm yet friendly atmosphere.
“… … Whoa.”
One step away, Rubia, who had no idea how to tie a tie, was just crying, unable to do this or that.
Eeeeh……Rubia ain’t gonna stand a chance if she didn’t know how to tie a tie like a good wife. Hail Glory for Stella!
