“Are you okay today? No promises? yes?”
“I, senpai… I didn’t tell you before that this kind of behavior is burdensome… … ”
“Child, so do you have an appointment or not?”
“No… … Long.”
“Then what? Let’s go eat together!”
“… … ”
You can’t run away using this as an excuse.
Reilin-senpai pulls my arm as usual and leads me to the restaurant. Even if I didn’t have to say it, I thought that if I gave a rough expression that I was tired, I would walk away on my own, but it was a vain hope.
Whether they saw it or not, it looked like they were being dragged along, and they ended up sitting together at a table in the dormitory dining room.
“It is difficult to eat together with a junior. It’s hard to make friends. You said your homeroom professor canceled the social gathering with us? Was it Professor Tyler?”
“Yeah, what… … ”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking-. It’s still a small school. You have to face seniors like me once in a while to tell you things you don’t know and even buy you food. Ah, not eating here, going out to eat. Sometimes I get tired of the restaurant menu.”
“Aha… … ”
“That professor is there. Tyler Lebeguin. He was a very famous professor in my first and second year.”
“okay?”
“yes. Lazy genius. The potions that the professor made with alchemy, almost every time something was developed, it was at the level of a revolution in the potion world. Perhaps Professor Tyler was the first to create a potion most similar to Elixir, which had only been passed down in the imagination?”
“… … Elixir?”
When Raylin said that while putting the scattered food on the plate with a soulless reaction, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Elixir. Isn’t it a magical drink that says that the severed limbs will attach themselves to each other just by taking a sip?
“yes. Come on, let the dead man drink! And that survives.”
“Did you make it?”
“Of course, it’s a hot plate. It must have been impossible to revive someone who was already dead. Instead, it is said that drinking the entire bottle gave a similar effect to a blessing that only a high-ranking high priest could handle once a year.”
That’s such a huge thing. Even if his neck had been severed, let alone his limbs, he would have been reattached. Of course, under the premise of a freshly cut, warm neck. If you go beyond a certain amount of time, you will no longer be able to use your hands.
“It seems that the materials used for manufacturing are raw materials, so after making it once, I haven’t been able to even try it after that. Still, there must have been a recipe at the time of making it, right? I heard that a lot of lat guarantee checks at the state treasury level were just pouring out here and there to buy one… … So, you’re a great person. However, I am not sure if the aptitude for the position of professor is right for me. Hi-Hi.”
It reminded me of Tyler, who walked around with a rotten expression every day. What is alchemy anyway? What is it that makes a person who would be praised as a genius of such a century like a drug lord? …
“Anyway, I’m really sorry that I can’t see the faces of not only you but also the juniors. I heard that all of these freshmen are pretty, cool, cute… Ezio, you can tell just by looking at it. How do you look like that? It’s a real God-given body, aren’t you?”
As we were nodding our food in ignorance next to Laylin, who was chattering like a sparrow, before I knew it, Me and Leilin were sitting opposite each other at a table by the window on the first floor of the restaurant. If you lift the fork like this, you don’t know whether the food is going through your mouth or your nose.
“Eat a lot, a lot. Don’t you usually eat a lot to maintain that body? I’m going to do a lot of exercise.”
Then, he puts two large pieces of juicy steak on my plate.
I’m sorry, but I can’t eat this much. There’s nothing wrong with eating a lot. You have to replenish as much as you consume. But today, I don’t think I can eat that much… …
“I will eat one. just one.”
“Oh, will that be enough?”
“Otherwise, I’ll leave you with 100 percent. And I don’t think I’ll be able to eat much today.”
“… uh? why? Are you not feeling well?”
Raylin blinks and asks me.
Then I wanted to look at my expression, ah… said with a voice.
“Your complexion is bad. Are you sick… ?”
“I’m not sick… I’m a little tired. It was on the way to having a group assignment meeting early in the morning.”
“Well, it was… … Mi, I’m sorry. I was so excited to finally be able to eat a meal with my junior… … ”
Raylin was wrinkled. The movement of slicing meat quickly with a knife also quickly loosened. Close your lips and raise your fork with your eyebrows bent inward.
He took a bite-sized steak and gently put it in his small mouth. The seasoning sauce drips onto the plate. As I watched it, I said something.
“Then you put it on your clothes.”
“Yes?”
“I’d like some sauce on the cardigan. Take off your coat and eat.”
“ah… … ”
A pink cardigan wide enough to cover the back of the hand when the arms are straight down. When I said that while tapping my wrist, Raylin nodded and folded the cardigan’s wrist a few times. A surprisingly thin and immaculate wrist was exposed. I’m not joking, and if I make a ring with my index and thumb and hold it, I think it will break if I give it a strong force.
“I didn’t ask then, I already asked.”
“… Eh, really?”
“yes. Tissue here.”
I saw a little bit of sauce on the bottom before folding. It was an accident that occurred due to contact with the sauce that fell on the table.
By the way, Raylin must have been a noble lady who grew up elegantly. You wouldn’t have been taught to spill and eat. As I said earlier, it may have been because I was in a state of excitement.
“Ah, ah ha ha. I’m ashamed. I get all these criticisms from my juniors… … Don’t you live with dignity as a senior?”
“You can spill and eat, what?”
“That’s right… … First of all, thank you for the tissue.”
Raylin wiped the stained area. Of course, not all stains are removed. If you know how to use laundry-related life magic, you’ll be able to solve it quickly. Leilin, who had been rubbing with a tissue several times, suddenly burst into tears.
“It’s my favorite clothes… hey… … ”
lick your lips I asked.
“Is it your favorite clothes?”
“Ah, yes. Because I made it myself… … ”
“… … uh. Really?”
what. You mean it was handmade?
“yes… I made this last winter vacation. … … Why why? Strange? I thought I did pretty well… … Yes, it may not be in your eyes. yes. Don’t look too closely… ?”
Even at a glance, the quality of the wool fabric, sewing, cutting, finishing, and the high-end products sold in the market seemed to be of higher quality, so I thought it would be an expensive garment. But was it handmade? It was a pretty surprising fact, so I was just in admiration.
“That’s great, old man.”
“… … uh?”
“That’s great. I didn’t know until my senior told me. It wasn’t the attire used in the nobility’s social hall, but it didn’t look like it was inferior at all in terms of luxury. It’s luxury. If you make it yourself, it will be more valuable than the luxury items sold on the market.”
“He said, it’s a luxury. It’s not even worth it. This is just… … ”
Leilin waved her hand in embarrassment.
Instead, I whistle slowly.
“Of course, I don’t know much about clothes, but wouldn’t it be great if it looked like a luxury item to me as an ordinary person? I think it’s amazing that you can’t see a single clumsy place with the naked eye. I.”
“… … ”
“You said you were the president of a fashion circle, and you really deserved the position. Well. It seems that you have this level of design and production skills, and you have enough passion… … Why did the new members run away? Once I applied, I was interested. It’s so true that I went out after seeing such a talented senior… … It’s amazing.”
“… … ”
“Oh, that’s not to say I’m going into a fashion circle. You know that’s a different story than that, right?”
“yes… I know, I know, my junior… … ”
Leilin was blushing.
“Sister… … i cry… ”
“… … No, I didn’t mean to cry. It’s just, it’s really great. I have a little bit of that. When I see other people’s endless hard work or the product of their talents, I admire them for nothing.”
“yes… yes… I know, our juniors are kind.”
Raylin wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.
Were you touched by my sudden praise? Still, I was just genuinely amazed.
As Laylin said before, the situation of a lung crisis also overlapped, so it was a bit sad. I wonder how many circle members there are in this small school, but what about three people including Leilin? After talking to him a few times, he doesn’t seem like a bad senior. Is it a feeling that I hope something goes well?
“Actually, you’re not the only one who complimented my clothes, but you’re the only one who was so moved that I cried because I complimented you like this. very very happy There were a lot of stories when I made this, so it seems like you know me, so there are things that make my heart flutter. This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this… … ”
No, to that extent?
What if I suffered from such sincere compliments?
“Sister. I’m really serious.”
“yes.”
“Fashion circle, don’t you want to come and see it? I’m sure this time i really need you not. Maybe I don’t even have to enter the circle. Without the circle, with you, I think I can make my dream come true. I kind of feel that way. I want to be closer than I am now. How can I not?”
those sad eyes Those eyes that convey the feeling that they really want me. In other words, it is a rather burdensome face from my point of view.
Raylin reached out and grabbed my hand that was on the table. No, let’s not do this in our public restaurant. Yes? Everyone sees it I think Gabriel is over there right now. no what really is
“… … You just want to be friends?”
I slowly escaped from Leilin’s hand that was wrapped around mine. Leilin rolled her eyes as if regretfully, then shook her head slightly.
“If it’s okay with you, we can go play together sometimes. Eat rice together. lungs… … I don’t know yet if it will or not, but I play with my members in the circle-only room. Please try on some clothes I made. ‘Cause you can’t do anything I will take care of everything.”
“Oh, senpai. It’s not that I don’t like it at all.”
“Yes… ”
“We can’t spend that much time together. I’m a bit busy with various things. I can’t make time for anything other than study or training. That’s why I couldn’t pay much attention to not only the seniors’ circle, but also the whole group’s activities… … ”
“Hey, you’re very sincere, you… … ?”
“… Anyway, yes. Of course, if I get to know you, it would be nice. I am not used to school life yet, and there are things I can learn about the 2nd or 3rd year classes… … ?”
“… … ”
“… … Seniors?”
Raylin was avoiding my eyes.
“I… In the meantime, concentrating on circle activities, studying… I haven’t done much… … ”
“… … ”
“So maybe there’s nothing I can teach you… I’m not going to Because I have my friends. yes. Maybe if you introduce yourself to them, they’ll be nice to you, but there are a few of my friends who are good at studying… Maybe I can learn from them… ?”
Oh yes. What.
Let’s skip that part for now.
“Anyway, that’s my position. I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to join the circle… Any help in school life would be greatly appreciated.”
“Except study.”
“yes. Except for studying.”
It looks like you threw really hard… …
“Honestly, how many times have we not seen each other yet? We’ll see each other more and more often, and we’ll get to know each other somehow. be comfortable with each other comfortable. I don’t know if it’s a good word to say to someone who is going to be a senior, but I think Raylin-senpai would find this more comfortable.”
“Yeah, I think so too. I really like you more and more, junior. If it’s okay with you, would you like to date me?”
“… yes?”
“It’s a joke. look serious Huh.”
What a joke that’s so bloody.
Raylin nodded her head with a smile.
Then.
Something in your uniform pocket.
slap it on me
“Then take this, junior.”
“… … What is this?”
“The room card key for our circle.”
“Yes?”
why are you giving it to me
“Is there a room dedicated to our circle in the Student Union? You can go in there whenever you want and rest, or pick up whatever is in the refrigerator and eat. If you are sleepy, you can sleep. It’s just your home – think. You don’t have to join the circle, so just take it. I’ll tell the members. Even if I give this to you, don’t worry, each person has one card key.”
“No, it’s okay… … ”
“Accept it, mate. ‘Cause I can’t come I prepared this with the intention of receiving only one new member this year, but I think you are the only one. I don’t see any freshman who deserves it other than you. It’s like throwing away if you don’t get it anyway, so it’s better to just get it. Come on, let it go. Leave it.”
“Uh, uh… … ”
Reilin, who forced the card key into the chest pocket of my uniform, sighed as if relieved at that time and grinned.
“Sister. I usually go in there and sleep when there’s nothing special. Mainly for dinner and at night.”
“… By the way?”
“Just, yes.”
Bashsi with his chin clenched – smiles.
It’s just that, so I just decided to think so. In a nutshell, he said he didn’t think anything of it.
“Junior, then, are we friends now?”
“… I do not know?”
Should I call close seniors and juniors friends?
No, I don’t think we’re completely close yet.
“Ah, guys!”
Leilin took it on her own, and suddenly spoke to a group of girls who were passing by us with plates in their hands. There, a girl with short hair turns her head crookedly. There were three stars on the pattern engraved on her chest, just like Raylin.
“What are you, the traitors who left us?”
“Sorry Chinggidul! But I ate with him! This new freshman! What a wonderful junior!”
“… Five? Is it real?”
“I know him. isn’t he this time… … ”
“Are you eating now? Come to work, he’s really nice and cool. Let’s eat together. Let me introduce you to Ezio. Of course, you can’t get closer than me because I became close first.”
no.
Really, why are you doing this to me?
will it just happen?
Thinking that, before taking action, the three senior female students hurriedly sat down on the table chair where Me and Leilin were sitting. A long time ago, a senior with short hair is talking to me this time.
“Hello, junior. What is your name?”
“It’s Ezio Cranil.”
“Be quiet, b*tch. Do I know?”
“Ah, hello. Seniors… … ”
“… Hey, Raylin. your friend is annoying Can I do this? Please introduce us to you soon. But if you tell me the wrong age like last time, I will really kill you.”
“Is your hair natural? Miraculous-. Be soft.”
oh
My stomach hurts… …
I’m not used to this kind of place… …
I looked around for a moment in hopes that someone would take me out, and Gabriel, who was having lunch with Aldrie not far away, looked at me and smiled. I turned my head again. I think he just had his fork in reverse.
