“Harold…?”
The girl who murmurs my name with dark eyes with despair begins to shake her shoulders.
With her red hair tied like a ponytail, and her ordinary looking sword and armor, she looks like a passing female adventurer…
“OMG…”
It was as if he knew me and wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth, as if the words were seldom run out.
From my point of view, it’s the first time I’ve seen her, and I’ve never really met her in my memory, but somehow she recognized me and was confused.
What the hell is going on…
“Are you okay over there…?”
I wasn’t worried and tried to talk to a woman who was very confused…
“Yes.. Four?!”
As I approached it, the distressed appearance until now has gone and changed into a carefree atmosphere where there is no major abnormality.
“You’re a little bit in pain…”
“It’s okay… it’s okay!”
He shouts at me in a voice that is more confident than necessary to the extent that he is overly concerned about my worries, and shakes his head from side to side with all his might.
I feel like a bit of a weird woman because I can’t predict the change in my emotions as to what happened to the alternate emotional line.
“But do you know me?”
By the way, didn’t you just call my name?
“yes…?”
When I ask a question, I feel embarrassed involuntarily by the atmosphere that suddenly became wrapped up for some reason.
“I beg your pardon..?”
A mysterious girl who asks me again with her eyes wide open as if she had heard an unbelievable word or doubted herself if she had heard it wrong
“Are you sure you didn’t call my name? I’m sorry, but were we familiar with each other before?”
I accurately convey to her the honest question I am feeling, but for unknown reasons, the red-haired woman shrugs her shoulders and is so desperate that she can see her mood swinging into hell.
As if she knew me but felt disappointed and sad that I didn’t recognize her…
Are they spherical to each other? But no matter how much I look back, it’s the first time I see a face…
However, contrary to my thoughts, as if I was shocked by my attitude, it gives off a negative atmosphere that is drenched in despair.
“Ah… that’s…”
He’s been wanting to say something to me since before, but he kept hesitating, and no matter how much he waited, he couldn’t speak clearly.
“What’s going on, Harold?”
In the end, Aris, tired of waiting, finally breaks in between us…
Wow!
“Aris?”
Aris suddenly wrapped around my shoulder and hugged me… It’s usually like a lover…
It was a sight that could be misunderstood by others.
“Huh?!”
He was surprised by such a directing and covered his mouth as if he had seen an unbelievable sight with a look of astonishment.
“Are you familiar with Harold over there?”
Aris also asked the adventurer a similar question to me, but the atmosphere was different.
It was really momentary, but the emotions I could feel on her face, jealousy, hatred, and all sorts of negative emotions mixed together to make me feel a creepy energy in an instant.
“……..”
However, compared to the time he talked with me, whether he was genuine or coldly changed by other emotions, he kept a rather calm face and continued to remain silent.
It seems as if he is immersed in thoughts of endless conflict over something, but soon answers with a weak voice.
“No… Maybe I didn’t see the person very well… I’m sorry…”
On the one hand, he lowers his head like a person who has lost everything, a cool answer that doesn’t feel alive and sad on the other.
Why are you reacting like this?
Although he admitted that he was not an acquaintance with me and that it was the first relationship he had ever met… I honestly couldn’t understand the attitude of the adventurer who showed such a fresh feeling.
“it’s okay.”
Instead of me, Aris gives a short answer to the red-haired woman, and regardless of my intentions, I am dragged out by the wind, reluctantly.
I’m not sure, but why do I feel like I can have more conversations with the woman who is getting farther away…
“Wait… Isn’t it a bit urgent?”
As the distance is getting farther and it is now disappearing at the end of my view, I shift my gaze to Aris, who is walking in a hurry, unusually, because I don’t think the mysterious adventurer can hear me…
“Aris?”
Something didn’t look right on his face, as if he was vomiting whether he was jealous of me for having my eyes on another woman…
“Looking at that woman earlier, it seems that Harold has a crush on her!”
Guess if he was really pouting, he puffed up his shy cheeks and said, ‘Hey!’ while making a fart sound.
Did she just show a crush on me?
I wonder if Aris’s eyes are different from mine, or if that adventurer created that kind of atmosphere for even a moment?
“What are you talking about? You said you didn’t see people well… And it’s the first time you’ve seen them in your life?”
However, in spite of my rebuttal, he continues to retort by wrapping my arms tighter with a slurred tone.
“But did she really have a good feeling for Harold? And Harold must have seen everything with warm eyes!”
Aris’ attitude, whose lively personality is sometimes reckless…
He is vivid and jealous of the awkward relationship no one sees.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, it’s definitely the first time I’ve seen her, and she also misunderstood a person and even apologized, but is this how she reacts…It is true that I have a crush on Aris rather than the mysterious girl I see for the first time…
It was a strange situation that I couldn’t understand…
◆◆◆
“……”
The point in time has passed and Aris left the place with Harold.
Erina was just watching the two of them with a complicated face.
“Ugh…”
Then, he pours out all the emotions, anger and hatred that he had hidden, on Aris, who hijacked Harold.
Even if it wasn’t just the tragedy of that time…
“I was first…”
The man he longs for in front of his eyes begins to grind his teeth in the injustice of having to ignore it even if he is hugged by another woman.
I feel like I want to tear off those arrogant limbs…
shudder!
He picks up his dropped sword and gently pulls out the blade.
“But what if you do damage to Harol?”
The reason why I had to pass by even when I saw the face that Erina missed
This is the warning that Morione said thoroughly.
For Harold, who had to live a new life in the wake of the curse, Erina was a person to be ignorant of.
Because if you care about him for no reason and there is a problem with your previous memories, then there’s really no going back…
Having warned him that she could not keep up with him, Erina was forced to ignore him and condone the affectionate relationship.
Because Harold is kind, I vaguely expected that he would have a relationship with another woman…
However…
Pulling out a sharp blade, I make a promise deep in my heart.
“I’m not going to give it to you…”
Declare to a wretched woman who has now gone through a life of hatred.
“I will never give it away…”

Principal’s Office of the Magic Academy
A quiet place where no one would otherwise exist except the principal of this academy.
However, something was different this time.
“Get out of here, I’m tired of punishing innocent students!”
A bitter voice of resentment resounds through the heavy silence
She was not alone in this place now.
“Are you saying that now?”
An unknown group gathered around her in a semicircle
Although their bodies were different in size, they were hiding their faces in the same clothes, so it was impossible to confirm their identity.
However, in her eyes, she looks tired
It was the denominations that were parasitic in the academy and polluted the place of Arsia.
“I can’t do it anymore…! Why do I have to hand over the disciples I love with my own hands?!”
The conversation doesn’t look very good, and the headmaster of the academy complains about the infidels who are now disgusted with it.
“Even with my eyes open, I can’t stop watching the disciples disappear!”
The principal, Arsia, raises his forehead and shows his blatant hostility to the crowd in front of him.
“You know that you’re talking about something completely different from what you promised? Principal, sir.?”
However, the heretics who wore robes were a little uncomfortable if they spoke calmly, unlike Arsia’s atmosphere.
“Get out of here! I can’t do it because I’m disgusted by you guys’ disgusting treatment!”
Sending outright hostility to the mysterious people who covered their whole body with their robes, he was so angry that he showed his teeth like a sharp-edged beast and made an impression.
Drawing a magic circle in his hand, he had the momentum to blow away the masses of powder in front of him at any moment.
However…
“Hmm, I was hoping that I could make sense of your request for you, Yosé, but… it must have been our denomination’s misunderstanding…”
A man takes something out of his arms and shows him a pendant that shines brilliantly.
“That… that’s…!”
The moment she witnessed it, Arsia changed into a distorted expression of despair and stretched out her arms as if restraining the man holding the pendant.
“No matter how much you don’t want to be sacrificed, you’re not enough to resist your own fate, so didn’t you even create an alter ego, Aris?”
While applying pressure to the pendant he was holding, it gradually distorted its shape.
“Thanks to her, who was born with some power, your power wasn’t perfect, so you made an unsuitable sacrifice?”
The power that grows stronger with the momentum to destroy the pendant flickers as if it had a survival instinct.
“Aren’t we going through a lot of trouble right now because our plans were disrupted by that kind of wind?”
“Sleep. Wait!”
Arsia’s face, where there was only anger before, was now full of anxiety at the shape of the pendant that got distorted as time passed.
“Well… Still, thanks to your foolishness, we were able to capture your weakness.”
Whoops… Whoops!
It starts to emit light with a shorter cycle than before, making an unstable sound as if the glass is full of gold.
“This pendant is like your heart… Judging by your attitude, you seem to care about Aris like a daughter, not just an alter ego…”
The pendant now sends a signal with a brighter and more intense light, as if sending a message that it is about to break without being able to withstand the pressure.
“If this is broken, Aris’ life will be…”
At the moment when the pendant was about to be destroyed by the man’s words that quietly conveyed it as if he were sentenced to death…
“Please wait!”
He stops him with a desperate face as if to ask him to listen to his story.
“Okay…! You can do whatever you want!”
When he reluctantly expresses his intention to follow, only then does the power applied to the pendant fade.
“Finally, you’re talking again.”
Soon after, the pendant is restored to its original form as soon as it has the mysterious power to regenerate itself.
“Thank you, Principal, I’ll hand over the list soon.”
Then, he hid the pendant again somewhere in his arms, and he began to memorize a certain spell.
“I will gladly answer your call, open the way for us… Shadow Teleport.”
After the chanting, the pagan shadows expand abnormally large.
“Honestly, I didn’t know if it would work, but to say that you care so much about Aris… If we resist until the end, our plan could be greatly delayed.”
As if he was a weakling, he revealed his feelings only late, and then a small sneer was heard.
“Of course she will die.”
Breathe out the last mock and flick your fingers once.
right!
Then the heretics were swallowed up by the shadows and disappeared as if they did not exist in the first place.
“……”
The principal is gone and left alone in this room
“Ugh…!”
As soon as he confirms that the denomination has disappeared, he grabs his chest as if in pain and immediately kneels on the spot.
“sh*t!”
In order to appear as strong as possible in front of the heretics, he thoroughly hides all his emotions, but when they disappear, he vomits out all the emotions he has contained.
She grinds her teeth as if in anger and expresses anger, but most of the emotions she felt were sadness and despair.
“please….”
He puts his hands together and murmurs an earnest prayer that he does not know who he is praying to, and tears fall.
What on earth could she have to give in to them and cry out in such a miserable state…
“Because anyone is good… Save Aris…”
It was just a screaming wish resounding in the quiet room…
