#5
time not too late. Mu got up on the elevator in his training clothes. Of course, he didn’t forget to bring a scabbard just in case.
Whoops, whoops-
Go outside and head to the library. It was a familiar place for Mu. But this time, he doesn’t go inside.
Jerk, tak-
Go past the main gate and turn around at the corner of the building. Turn left at a quick pace.
OK.
“Uh, are you here?”
“… … .”
In a shady alley where students can’t reach, a man hiding in the shadows and waiting for Mew pretends to know him.
It was quite a nook and gloomy place. However, only a few stones are hit, and it is not full of messy garbage and filth like the alleyway in a dark area. Rather, it is closer to the clean and neat side. This is because the Epic class cleaners take care of the environment every morning.
The man who had been smoking a cigarette until Mew came, saw Mew who had really come to the meeting place, and slowly exhaled the last smoke.
Whoo-
“sorry. He didn’t come, so I was bored, so I smoked one.”
Mew was only forty minutes late because she was worried. Nevertheless, the man remained here and waited for Mew.
He throws it on the ground and rubs it with his feet. There must be a trash can around, but I didn’t feel the need to pick it up from a man’s point of view. After all, there is someone else who cleans the dirty road.
The man ripped off his top coat. After breaking his neck a few times, he smiles as he sees Mew, who has not yet taken a step at the entrance of the alley.
“Why do you look like that? Do you hate the smell of cigarettes? … Or do you just hate smoking?”
There was that too, but basically, Mew had almost always had a certain expression since some time.
Lips clenched as if they had no will to speak at all, and sharp eyes that seemed to stare at the opponent at first glance.
To a man, it seemed like a pretty sarcastic face.
Of course, in reality it wouldn’t be much different.
“You seem to hate it. Well, okay. If you hate cigarettes, there’s nothing you can do about it. I will not smoke in the future.”
Mew wiggled her eyebrows. Whether the man quit smoking or not had nothing to do with Mew. what do you mean
After a while of silence, the man opened his mouth as if he was in a hurry.
“By the way… Are you going to keep standing there? If you are there, there is no reason for such a secret meeting.”
Mu doesn’t really care about other people’s gaze. So it wouldn’t matter where we set the meeting place, but this time was a bit of a special case, so we wanted to meet face to face as secretly as possible. So, the location proposal itself was initiated by the Mu side first.
After entering the school, Mew, who was close to nothing in exchanges with not only classmates but also seniors, has a private meeting with a mysterious male senior?
It must also be a long conversation. Moreover, there was room for disclosure of things that should never be shown to others… … .
If a passing student saw the sight – it would create a gossip-worthy gossip.
In other words, it was to prevent public rumors from spreading. No matter how much I don’t care about rumors, I hate it when things get annoying.
“Just hearing your voice is enough.”
Finally, Mu opened his mouth.
cold voice. Even when we first met, it was half-talking. So I didn’t bother to point out the tone. Even if I point it out, it doesn’t seem to be of much use.
Really? Well, um. said the man who shook his head.
“You are right. If you’re here, you’ve decided on an answer, and you only have to tell me that answer and it’s over. … But isn’t 4 meters too far? Why don’t you come a little closer than two meters?”
“no.”
A voice that came out without hesitation for even a second. So fast and sharp, the man had to come to his senses after a moment.
“… Cool. OK got it. I won’t force it. I know your personality just by hearing about it. I don’t think it’s such an exaggerated rumor.”
Then he glanced at Mu’s eyes.
“… … .”
It doesn’t seem to budge at all.
Usually, when you say something like this, you can pretend to be curious about what rumors are about you, but Mew never said anything like that.
If so, there are two cases.
not interested at all,
you already know everything
maybe… … Maybe both, the man thought.
‘It’s nothing special.’
You just have to adjust yourself.
“So, what is the answer?”
straight to the point The man returned the ring to Mew, and wanted to buy Mew’s time on condition that he forgot about the ring’s existence.
Mew only asked to talk to him once, and he never asked for anything more than that.
From Mu’s point of view, it was nothing more than suspicious.
“Before answering.”
“… yes?”
“What is the purpose?”
“… purpose? What purpose?”
The man narrowed his eyes.
Mew continued to speak with the momentum to draw a sword when she was still.
“What the hell do you want from me while making such filthy threats? I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do for you.”
there is no You want to talk just once? You will never open your mouth on the side of MU. If only the ring was returned, Mew would have erased that man’s existence from his mind.
‘… His eyes are bloody once.’
The man looked at Mew’s gaze as cold as winter frost and shrugged his shoulders. What is so hostile?
but no complaints. smile roundly
“It’s a dirty threat. It’s a bit harsh.”
“Then what is it?”
“I just wanted to talk to you just like I said to you. If you approach me recklessly, you’ll never react like you always did, right? Then we have no choice but to communicate in this way.”
The man shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Mew.
Zipper pulled up to the chin. It’s not like he’s wearing any fancy clothes, but it looks like he’s wearing a plain sweatshirt and a scabbard.
Still, why is the overwhelming aura felt from Mew? A lot of students, enamored with that appearance, readily approached Mew.
But what comes back isn’t even a sunken doorknob – complete indifference. Mew had ignored all interests toward him, with no exceptions.
Then, most of the students had no choice but to turn back without even hearing Mew’s voice. After all his repeated attempts failed, he was exhausted and went out in the end.
However, men were not among the majority.
I have been thinking about how to make contact with Mew, whom I have been eyeing on a regular basis, without getting tired like other people.
Then, just in time, a good bait came into my hand.
If this is the case, at least you won’t be ignored.
─This ring is yours, right?
I shook the bait like that and got Mew’s attention.
As expected… … A contact with mu was made.
‘It doesn’t seem like a very favorable first impression.’
The man smiled bitterly inwardly. I know it’s wrong to do this with someone else’s secret love affairs, but what can I do?
From the moment I confirmed the existence of the ring… That interest in Mew has grown significantly.
Literally, I was curious.
It is said that a young girl who was in doubt about whether she would have made a proper friend, let alone dating once, found out that she had a history of dating a boyfriend.
Moreover, it seemed that they had a passionate love affair to the extent that they matched the coupling. It was a past that I couldn’t even imagine in the form of Mew now.
I can’t easily recall the sight of a shy smile full of compassion blooming from that cold face.
One more sip.
Now in freshman year, she has an ex-boyfriend.
‘The rumor… Was it half true?’
… Could it be that you are not interested?
This moment was the answer.
“really. There is no other purpose. Can you give me some time? Do you think I’m crazy and do insidious things in Frontier?”
“What happened recently?”
“… … .”
As a student who participated in the practice, the male also understood Mu’s alertness. Now, the name of the fortress of heaven is also fading. Even inside the Frontier, any number of incidents could happen.
“I don’t know what you want, but it’s no use. You’d better get me interested.”
Mew moved her legs with her hands in her jacket pockets. one step forward, step forward The attitude of trying to keep a distance from men changed completely. However, the anticipation in the purple eyes remained the same.
“So.”
After approaching one meter ahead.
Suck-
I took my hand out of my pocket,
stick out and say
“Give it up.”
As he made close eye contact with the low-brained Mew, the man felt a pressure that almost stopped his breath.
‘… Are you really in first grade?’
It’s not just 1st year. He is an early graduate, two years younger than him. Still, it’s not serious. instinctively feel threatened. As a male student in the Epic class, he is by no means an easy match, but he has been pushed back in a fight with a freshman. It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling.
‘… shit.’
I’m older though. There is no such thing as respect and courtesy. You have been holding on to it for a while, but if you are pushed back even here, you will completely lose the initiative. Still, he has the upper hand in his position. therefore.
“That’s not a good enough answer.”
The man also responded with a smile on his face.
“I just can’t give it. Did you not hear what I said?”
“I heard.”
“then-.”
at that time.
“Isn’t what you and I are doing now ‘talking’?”
“… … What?”
The man had a puzzled face.
and.
“You talked well. That’s it.”
“… … what.”
After a while, he realizes what Mew is talking about.
yes-.
It was a loophole in the words.
No, should I see this as a loophole? A completely arbitrary interpretation of the interests made up of social consensus… … .
“Give it now.”
Without lifting the outstretched hand, Mew said.
“… … No, this.”
Of course it’s invalid—the moment I was about to say.
“I said it clearly. If you tell me once, I’ll give it back. My answer is ok, hey. I just told the story that was conditional. Oh, I still did. okay?”
Mew pours out words with a rapid-fire cannon.
“Now it’s your turn to keep your promise.”
She looks up at Carmelo Bagrid, a senior in her second year, and delivers the final blow.
“Promise, keep it.”
If they didn’t deliver the promised thing, they had the momentum to pull the hilt from the scabbard at any time.
“… … .”
What’s with all these guys
The man was a little squeamish.
Indeed, it would have been like this.
“I’m sorry, but aren’t you using force in moderation?”
“You are the one who is being forced.”
“me? why me?”
“Because you’re the only one who didn’t keep the promise here.”
“… … haha.”
I didn’t think it would make more sense if I dragged it for a long time. The man let out a laugh. With a sigh, lower your head down, then lift it up again and sweep the hair in front of you.
“I’m going to buy my junior a meal and talk slowly, but you’re doing this now because one of those things is difficult?”
“Who asked you to eat? Look, I didn’t mean to just talk from the beginning. It had a dirty purpose.”
“No, there really is no purpose, right? Is that the end? And what’s the dirty purpose? As you know, this is a small space with fewer than a hundred students. Communication between seniors and juniors is very important. know? I don’t know, but if I keep behaving like this to other seniors… … .”
The moment I spoke those words,
Carmelo had no choice but to stop moving her mouth.
“Guldagan, what?”
“… … .”
“When you say something, you have to finish it. goofy, what what to do If you don’t like my attitude right now, you’re going to give me a disadvantage, you mean?”
“… … I didn’t tell you there. It can’t be. It’s just that your academy life can get a little uncomfortable. You don’t get help when you really need it.”
“I do not need. No useless help.”
“… … .”
“I am enough on my own. I didn’t come here to play worthless with people like you.”
It may seem trivial when an empty person says something like this, but when Mew, who is the number one freshman, said it, it sounded very serious.
“If you know, give it to me. Don’t try to make obscene threats with someone else’s personal information. Even if it’s not for me, I don’t know if you know it’s a pretty disgusting thing to do.”
I didn’t know that, but Mew was surprisingly not very talkative. The clear and cold voice is not very different from what we expected, but once he starts to open his mouth, he shows that he knows how to talk to people.
‘… Isn’t this bad too?’
I discovered a new side of Mew. Carmelo’s curiosity was partially satisfied. We talked for quite a while longer than expected. Of course, it’s still not enough.
by the way.
Carmelo, who had just received mildly insulting remarks from Mew, opened her mouth while barely calming her raging heart.
“It’s personal, yes. I have one question.”
“Close your mouth.”
“… … what?”
now,

Did I hear it wrong?
“Shut your mouth.”
It wasn’t.
Carmelo rolled her eyes.
“Give it up and don’t bother with work. Don’t say it twice.”
At first I thought it was cold.
However, it was different now.
uh-
It is as cool and sharp as an ice pick. It wasn’t just the way he spoke, it seemed that something was creeping out of his body.
It was an opaque blue like smoke.
‘To the power… … .’
It was close to being raised reflexively. It’s far from sweet even compared to yours… Her pride did not allow her to think more than that.
Carmelo was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat ran down her spine. This, too, was an instinctive response.
‘… … Did you touch the reverse?’
personal history. So, as soon as I tried to ask something about the anecdote about the ring, a terrifying force came upon me.
What if I scratch more here?
I didn’t really want to try it.
Carmelo gulped for a moment, then parted her lips.
“… … I’m sorry, but the ring is not here now.”
“What?”
Mew’s momentum fades in an instant.
“I left it in my dorm. If you said you would give me time, I thought I’d give it to you. So I can’t give it to you now.”
“what… … .”
“I’ll keep the secret, but if you don’t get it back, you’re in trouble too, right? I’m not going to ask about personal history anymore, so it’s really simple, just have a meal with me… … .”
That was then.
“Right pants pocket–!”
A loud cry rang out.
“It’s a lie–! I’m hiding it in my right pants pocket–!”
“Well, what.”
Mew calmly turned her head, but Carmelo was very bewildered and hurriedly shifted her gaze from place to place.
“Lies are bad–! This liar——!”
“What, what! Who is it!?”
I cast my gaze all over the dark alley, but the owner of the sudden voice couldn’t even see a shadow.
There was still a voice that seemed to pierce the sky, but I couldn’t quite figure out where it was coming from. I can’t find the source.
than that.
‘… … How did know?’
I never took it out of my pocket. How the hell-
next moment.
“… … right pocket?”
Mu’s questioning gaze stabs me.
“No, that’s… … .”
Carmelo tried to pretend to be Taeyeon, but since someone found out a lie, she couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“Someone else’s.”
Mew, who noticed, continued talking.
“It’s not enough to threaten someone else’s lost property.”
Calm like a calm lake,
That is why the most ominous voice resounds.
“Until a lie.”
“No, wait… … .”
Mu is one step closer. The distance gradually narrowed. Carmelo realized later that he was trying to take a step back.
‘… … No matter how strong the first year is.’
Somehow, he felt a sense of shame, so he took a step forward rather than backwards and extended his hand to Mew’s shoulder. It was meant to give pressure while looking down at Mew while raising his chin.
“Hey, honestly, isn’t this too much for you? If you’ve done this, you might as well give me a chance. What made it so–”
Carmelo’s words did not come to an end.
“uh?”
All the hairs rose upwards. popped up
at some point
The sun seen through the alley has been turned upside down.
“Huh?”
I didn’t know
The body was flying through the air.
“… … Whoops!”
The body, which had been floating for a while, started descending, after slamming its back hard against the outer wall of the building.
Mew grabbed Carmelo’s arm and performed a chess trick, literally blowing Carmelo away. Mew, who has long since surpassed the level of physical strength of ordinary humans. If so, her physical skills would never be normal either.
Quang-! dump.
Mew, who had slapped the body of the senior without hesitation, looked down when he saw Carmelo moaning while being thrown to the floor.
“Do you want to touch anyone? A disgusting child.”
“Uhhh… … .”
Ting, Degur-
Is it because it’s turned upside down? Something protruded from the pocket of Carmelo’s pants and rolled to the ground with a clear metallic sound.
“… … .”
Rolling, it came to the front of Mew.
Suck-
Mew bent over and picked it up. After scanning all over the place and confirming that it was genuine, he turned his head again.
“… … Whatever you say about me and Ezio is up to you.”
There was no need to draw a sword. It was a weak body. I’d rather have the Ezio stronger.
… … No, it was not good to think of him now.
Mew, who had carefully tucked the ring into her jacket pocket, fell on the floor, crumpled up, and left Carmelo clutching her shoulder.
“There is no evidence now. Not even the truth.”
Tock, tock.
I walked slowly through the dark alley.
“ha ha ha.”
Carmelo, who was accidentally beaten and even had her ring taken away, was left alone in the alley and was only laughing out loud.
“Ugh, ugh.”
It hurts and aches all over the place. The bone doesn’t appear to have been broken, fortunately, but if I had hit it a little harder, the ribs would have been shattered.
“Crazy year… … .”
It is said that pretty roses have thorns. It wasn’t a thorn, it was a large awl. A man will die if he is pierced by an awl the size of a deer antler… … .
at that time.
Suck-
A small shadow fell around Carmelo, who had barely stood up from the ground and was supporting herself.
But Carmelo didn’t notice it.
“No bad words!”
“Aww!”
Because it was very quick.
“Cuckoo… … .”
Kwadangtang-!
Carmelo, who was once more hit in the back with a kick and bent at the waist, threw herself to the ground without fail this time.
It was the same questionable voice I had heard earlier, but when Carmelo looked back with anger-filled eyes, it was already there.
“… … under. What is it?”
The owner of the voice was gone.
So Carmelo was left alone in the alley for a while, thinking.
“Your personality is just right.”
Soon after, he bursts into laughter.
“still… … .”
If you think it’s a face value, well.
… … Could it be more attractive?
furthermore.
I have a boyfriend, but now… … .
“… … Hmm.”
Carmelo touched the part that Mew had grabbed with her hand.
blink-
Immediately after, he smiled meaningfully.
