Escape (1)
profit.
Strangely, the door was not closed.
The sound of the door opening was so eerie that the hairs on my body stood on end.
For some reason, Yuria shivered in the cold air, as if the blood in her body was cooling.
It was similar to the sensation I felt before I opened the seal of the letter containing the news of my mother’s death at the academy.
Yuria immediately understood the reason for that sensation.
inside the door.
An azure-haired girl was lying on the bed with her arms and legs sealed in restraints made of stone.
The girl must have been extremely tired, and when YuRia came in, she couldn’t come to her senses and fell asleep with her thin eyelids folded.
Her pale white eyes were swollen red with tears.
‘I’m crying.’
The sleeping girl trembled and sobbed, as if she was having a nightmare.
Every time that happened, my arms and legs would tremble and I would squeeze the blanket with my hands and crumple it.
Yuria cautiously approached the girl.
It was a girl I remembered seeing somewhere.
It must have been the time to escape after being confessed to by Leonhardt.
‘This child… Libya?’
Yuria recalled the documents Kayden had fabricated.
I wish I could have been in a place like this.
And one reasonable thought that follows.
‘kidnap?’
YuRia chewed her lower lip with her teeth and thought as she looked at the poor girl with red blood flowing.
At first, YuRia thought it wouldn’t be.
Both Leonhardt and Kayden were not the people to do such a thing.
Leonhardt, who is smart and righteous, or Kaiden, who makes a reluctant expression when asked to do dirty work and does it reluctantly.
Yuria couldn’t believe that the two of them would do such a thing.
But again, Yuria wasn’t such a foolish woman that she turned her eyes to what was happening in front of her and only saw what she wanted to believe.
“…Oh my gosh.”
It was the second time Yuria muttered that after hearing the cry for the first time.
Then, grabbing the end of her long blonde hair and nervously spinning it around, she fell into trouble.
I had to decide quickly what to do with this situation.
I didn’t know when Leonhard or Kayden would return.
And she quickly came to a conclusion.
‘I have to take him out.’
Leonhardt’s work itself is shocking, but if it is revealed that Kayden, a close friend of the student council, did this, then he will be held responsible immediately.
It’s okay to pretend you didn’t see it and bury the incident, but Yuria is not the type to neglect troubles that are out of her control.
It would have been better to save this girl from here and make sure she was silenced or draw the line that she hadn’t done it.
It should be able to deal with Kaiden’s deviation.
‘But before that, I have to ask Leonhard what the hell this is all about.’
Although Kayden is a bit on the sluggish side, he cannot be said to have a dominant personality.
It has a puppy-like personality that likes to make someone its master and follow it.
There was a high possibility that it was Leonhard who led the work.
‘Why is that child… ‘
Yuria couldn’t possibly imagine the reason.
It was just embarrassing.
Anyway, Yuria slightly bent her knees and shook her shoulders to take the girl away.
“wake up.”
At Yuria’s small whisper, the girl’s eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
Sky blue eyes focused on YuRia.
The poor girl’s eyes shook with anxiety.
“… Yuria… Chairman?”
A cracked voice from crying so much came out of the girl’s mouth.
“right. So be quiet. I’m here to save you.”
YuRia said firmly and took the girl’s hand.
The hands that were holding each other were pitifully weak.
Yuria lifted the girl up with strength in her clasped hands.
“Where does it hurt? Is it to the point where you can’t walk?”
“That, that’s not… place.”
The girl closed and opened her eyes as if to shake off the moisture that was densely forming between her eyelashes.
“Then let’s go. for a moment… ”
Yuria stumbled to her feet and checked the shackles wrapped around her legs.
It seemed like it would be difficult to walk at this rate, but the restraints made of stones could not be removed with magic.
“It will be uncomfortable, but bear with it.”
YuRia said, intending to leave it to an expert to release it later.
Then he led the girl to the door.
Even with staggering and uncomfortable steps, the girl obediently followed Yuria.
However, the unexpected happened right after that.
“… Shi, I don’t like it.”
YuRia was taken aback by those words and looked back at the girl.
The girl shook her head, her lower lip quivering.
“What?”
The moment Libya saw the open door, her heart skipped a beat in fear that came from deep within her heart.
Right before the senior left, the senior hugged Livia softly and whispered.
An affectionate gaze and a tender and unexpectedly respectful kiss on the cheek.
Livia was immersed in the warmth and relief of Leonhardt’s arms for a moment.
Like a lover, the boy looked at Livia.
“When I become a good kid, I won’t scare you anymore. Libya.”
Livia remembered what the boy had said to her in a low, soothing voice.
And the fingers that burrowed through her hair and rubbed her scalp gently.
“There will be no more ‘bees’.”
He put his lips to Livia’s thin neck and said. Lightly, while biting her neck.
punishment.
Libya remembered those words and shuddered as if starting a game.
Looking at Libya like that, Yuria distorted her delicate face in doubt.
“it’s okay?”
Libya didn’t want to be scared anymore.
I didn’t want to sit in that iron chair any longer.
She took her own life to free herself, and she didn’t want to see her mother’s corpse dangling.
Libya gasped.
When the tears started to fill up again, the swollen eyes began to hurt.
“I will leave that door open. If you step out of that door, this restraint that sealed your powers will be released. But if you’re a good kid, you should stay calm in this room. Okay? Libya? If you’re a good kid.”
After saying that, the senior smiled affectionately, as if Livia, who was quietly being held in his arms, was really cute.
My senior treated me kindly.
I told you that if you become a good kid, there will be no more punishment.
‘I’m betraying my senior.’
Libya thought so.
I wanted to be embraced again in the warm arms of my senior.
I wanted to receive a gentle kiss, and delicately stroke my hair with his big hand.
Wouldn’t it all be lost if I left this door now?
What if your senior never treats you kindly again?
Livia didn’t want to be caught up in the endless loneliness she had tasted after losing her mother.
It was so much more terrifying than the pain from her senior, Livia couldn’t help but dwell on the loneliness and fear while sitting in the chair.
That’s what scares me the most.
“Boy.”
At that time, Livia was startled by the touch of her cheek and came to her senses.
The tears that had been pooling for so long spilled out.
“Are you okay?”
Livia finally recognized the blonde girl who said that in her own world.
Like an intruder who suddenly raised a sharp weapon in a world that had just been made up of only ‘senpai and me’.
she was standing there
An uneasy, uncomfortable feeling welled up inside Livia.
This good boy’s room is Libya who follows the seniors and the rules set by the seniors.
It could have been a complete room with just that.
Then, the senpai gave him so much love that it overflowed, and Libya was able to receive that love infinitely.
Such a perfect world.
A complete world consisting only of seniors and Libya.
But why is this person… Can I come into this room?
In this isolated room where only seniors could enter.
Libya’s unrest was rooted there.
Libya’s twisted monopoly has begun to give an answer.
This person was a special person to seniors.
I was kidnapped by my senpai and entered this room. Maybe I’m special too.
‘But ‘only’ I’m not a special person to seniors.’
Libya felt that her heart was torn to shreds.
I didn’t want to leave this person alone.
I hated the dazzling person in front of me who was loved by my senior.
okay. Let’s do this.
Kill this person and come back to this room.
Then my seniors won’t know, so I’m still a ‘good kid’.
It didn’t take long for the idea to go to that extreme.
“… Fine… Oh.”
Livia finally recognized her hoarse voice and smiled a little.
Yuria felt uncomfortable with the subtle change in Libya, but thought it was because she had suffered so much.
“great. Then let’s go.”
Yuria, who had only held her hand at first, supported Libya as she thought it would be difficult for her to walk.
Right before leaving the door, YuRia felt a terrifying sensation clinging to her back.
However, thinking that it was because of the feeling this strange place gave off, Yuria had difficulty shaking off that sensation.
the moment you step out the door.
click.
There was the sound of a lock being unlocked, and the handcuffs that were restraining Libya were released.
“uh? Is it solved?”
Oh, I see.
A good kid’s room.
YuRia finally realized the meaning of the sign posted in this room.
Originally, it was a room for the purpose of turning bad children into good children.
Of course, there was no reason to handcuff them outside this room, so they must have been designed to be released naturally.
“Good. Let’s hurry.”
Instead of supporting the free girl’s body, Yuria grabbed the girl’s hand as she nodded weakly.
Yuria hurried her steps as if she were running away to completely get out of the uneasy place she had left behind.
Anxious thought that there might be someone in the break room suddenly came to me, but fortunately there was only a chill in the break room when I arrived.
“Now, if we just get out of here… ”
Yuria let out a sigh of relief.
If it was in that basement, it would be safe from here on out.
“Kreureung… ”
It was then that an eerie sound came from an unexpected place.
Yuria felt tension spreading through the nerves of her body.
ngl this feels kinda horrifying.
