“Ugh…”
As soon as I woke up, I immediately felt a vertigo that seemed to break my head.
The alcohol that still remains in the brain does not come out, and the unpleasant dizziness condenses the facial muscles.
“Head…”
Grasping my still hazy consciousness, I barely opened my eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling.
“Where are you…?”

No matter how much you look back on your memories, you don’t know how you came to the place you first saw in your life, and you had to make a guess based on your last memory.I must have reunited with Erina on the way home and decided to have dinner together… I drank the cocktail she gave me at the restaurant and I suddenly fell asleep…
“…..”
After that, there was no memory…
What the hell happened… The moment I was about to find confusion in memories that never came to mind
“Are you out of your mind?”
A voice that is sweet as if it tickled my ear, when I turned around, I saw Erina-san… She sweeps my head as I lie down and whispers.
“I’m glad that there doesn’t seem to be much of a problem!”
He smiles brightly and caresses the cheek with the hand on his forehead with a smile that counts a strange atmosphere.
“Mr. Erina?”
“Are you tired these days? You were suddenly sleeping in a restaurant, so I rushed you to a nearby inn.”
She smiles kindly and tries to calm me down as much as possible, but ironically, she gives me a slightly strange atmosphere, which makes me feel more nervous.

No, it’s the second hit… What did she just say?“Did I fall asleep in a restaurant?”
However, while pretending to be as calm as possible on the outside, when I questioned that I was sleeping, he explained the situation in detail.
“Yeah… I didn’t collapse all of a sudden. After we finished eating, each of us drank cocktails and shared weaning. I thought I was a little drunk, so I opened my eyes with reddened faces and immediately fell down on the table…
“Wait…”
I know it’s rude, but in shame and shame, I cut her off.
Wait… Really? Did I commit such a nuisance…?
It’s very different from the memories that remain in my head and the situation Erina-san is talking about, but I also drank alcohol…
Most of all, it seems that the situation that has not changed that I lost my mind at the restaurant is shameful.

No… No matter how much I drink, I don’t know how I fell from drunkenness. To be indebted to the strict person I was with…“I’m sorry, Erina-san… I didn’t mean to cause so much trouble…”
Apologizing for even lying down, he quickly got up and lowered his head.
“It’s okay! You can think of this as compensation for Chagak!”

No… There are so many similar people in the world, to treat them like this just because I didn’t see them well…Even so, it’s not even that much of a treason… Erina-san just smiled as if it was nothing.
“Ugh… Anyway, this is… Even if I’ll do something for you…”
However, he stubbornly refuses to accept my proposal.
“It’s okay! I’m not asking for anything like that, so don’t worry about it!”
I had no choice but to close my mouth again as it dried as if holding it in my hand.
It was so moving that he was so generous that he could say that he was an angel in his heart.
“Then I’ve checked the status of Mr. Harold, so I’ll leave. I’ve paid for the accommodation, so you can rest comfortably.”
It’s not enough to get dinner and eat, so I’m getting the cost of one night at the inn…
I was so upset that I didn’t even know what to say.
“I’ll go first, if there’s a relationship, I hope to see you again…”
I really wanted to say thank you, but before I could think of words, Erina-san went outside.
“……”
In the end, I was left alone in the room, and when I was silent, the flowing silence…
He left before he could even say thank you, so the feeling of not even saying hello was strong.
I felt like I was a criminal for nothing, leaving me with a very unpleasant feeling…
“If there is a relationship, let’s meet again…”
She remembers the words she left behind before she left.
I feel like I’m going to be reunited with her somehow…
It’s such a strange idea that I can’t even understand why I’m doing this to my baseless confidence, which is just a heart attack…
I feel a strong bond with her.

“Harold!”
After the weekend, it was time to go back to school again.
“It was a fun weekend!”
Reunited in the classroom, Aris comes to me with a bright smile as soon as she sees me.
“How was Harold?”
He says he enjoyed what happened over the weekend and asks for my opinion.
“Yeah me too-“
?!
I try to answer that I enjoyed myself too, but the tough gaze that feels burdensome as if stabbing the back of my neck is blatantly tormenting me.
“…..?”
As if moving a frozen body in a cold environment, he turns his head with crooked bones…
“huh…”
There was Marika looking at me with a dissatisfied expression as if anyone could say, ‘I’m angry’…
They looked at me casually, as if they were watching me, and I feel burdened because they can make eye contact with me and stare confidently at me.
“……”
A mistake from the past that naturally comes to mind…
I postponed Aris’ answer for a moment, got up from my seat, and took a step towards Marika.
“Um… Marika? Good morning…!”
It was a little unnatural, but I tried to greet him in the brightest voice possible, but he still stared at me without answering.
“That… I’m sorry for the last time… I want to have some alone time like that—”
chin!
But before I could even say anything, her hand covered my mouth.
“Don’t tell me, because I don’t want to hear your voice right now.”
It looked like it had been squeezed tight…
Marika came here expecting to spend time alone with me, but in reality it was a gathering of three with Aris…
“I don’t even want to see you, go away now.”
Marika, who was looking forward to meeting the two of them alone, was not disappointed and seemed to be very angry…
“Really… I’m an idiot for expecting you…”
Did I do this on purpose to hear her, or I accidentally overheard her muttering to herself… Marika’s low voice, mixed with dissatisfaction, fully explained how she felt right now.
“There, Marika…”
“Call me the princess.”
“……”
I’m sure it’s because of me that I need to relieve my feelings…
“Is there anything you want to ask me?”
What will she do to make her feel better? I ask her carefully, but what she returns is a cold voice.
“What do you want me to do, just go away.”
I’ve been saying that, but I wanted to make her feel better.
“I’ll give you anything you want.”
Tickle!
He suddenly got up from his seat and looked at me with slightly revived eyes.
“really…?”
He was looking at me without boundaries, with eyes that were suspicious of me and harbored a glimmer of expectation.
It felt like something had succeeded in changing her heart, and I thought I should just push it like this.
“Yeah… I’ll give you the absolute right to listen to anything Marika asks at any time, just tell me.”
When he spoke with a serious attitude, as if he was sincere, the displeased face disappeared and a faint smile remained.
“Heh… it’s a little silly to try to change the princess’s heart with that.”
Contrary to his facial expression, he hears a negative answer, but that’s for a while…
“If you’re going to say that… I’ll try to trust you one last time.”
With words that seemed to forgive me, my distrust of me was removed.
“Anytime… any request…”
But as soon as the conversation is over, why do you blush and fall into your own troubles?
“Then then…”
I felt regret for speaking out for a moment because of the sound of laughter that was a little unpleasant to be called a princess, but I had to pray that it wasn’t a big request because it was already spilled…
◆◆◆
bang!
pop!
Fall out!
Various magic unfolds in sight, and at the same time, various sounds stimulate the ears.
It’s training time for magic practice
Many students come to the trainers and start the training they need.
There were people who cast magic against Gwanyeom, and there were also students who competed with each other under a reasonable agreement.
However, there is one question that comes to mind in this scene.
“Do you think there are too many people?”
It’s just that there are too many people.
Several students had already arrived and were training before we arrived, and there were even students wearing different uniforms just like us.
“Unlike last week, it is an integrated training ground, so it is used by other classes as well as even second and third graders.”
Somehow, there were a lot of people… Maybe it was a place where there were other students as well.
“Unlike the last time, my own freedom is guaranteed, so there is no problem just observing others without practicing.”
This time, Marika spoke a word and took a look at this place full of magic.
“Marika?”
However, her mood hasn’t been good since before, so I’m worried about her.
It was as if he was desperately looking for something, but his face was full of longing and worrying that he didn’t want to be seen…
“Marika… Why are you making such a face? Your complexion looks a little off.”
I noticed her mood and tried to ask a question, but she just shook her head gently and didn’t answer anything.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about this and just practice.”
He said so, but what he was looking for was wearing a different school uniform than our first year, i.e., presumed to be a second year student.
I was told not to worry about it, but looking around with anxiety was to the point of worrying for nothing.
Aris was also looking at Marika with a worried look in her eyes, perhaps feeling the same way as me.
Why the hell are you doing this, anyone who knows
“What are you doing here, Marika?”
Then, as soon as I thought about it, an unfamiliar voice spoke to her from somewhere.
“hot?!”
When Marika, startled by the voice, turned her head, her sight reached…
“Are you making jokes during practice?”
There was a man standing there looking at her with sharp eyes that felt a little scary.
Judging by the costumes, students in a different grade than ours…
Should I say that he is an adult… Rather than that, he was a man with an impressive look as if he had a grudge against people.
“Brother…”
And then her shocking muttering…
What did you just say?
Brother…?
A man with the same gold color and short hair as hers spoke to Marika as if swearing.
“I heard about you in a rush, you said you got good grades in practice… But is it okay to play like this?”
A sophomore who robs her of her self-confidence by driving her with a strict tone
“…..”
He lowered his head at the words of the male student and embraced himself with a dark expression as if he had become a criminal.
“there.”
Then why did I…
Even though Marika’s words gave me a rough idea of what kind of person the man in front of me was, I took the words out for her, whose pride was hurting.
“Who are you scolding Marika?”
