Chapter 81 – ‘Holy’ Ellis’ Day (2)
“Huh~.”
Every year ‘Elise’s Day’Evelyn used to get especially fierce when she got close, but she seemed to be in a good mood today.
I could roughly guess the reason.
‘…I guess it’s because of the important story.’
Of course, Evelyn seemed to think that I would confess, but…
Let alone a confessionIn fact, she has had relationships with other women besides you, and she plans to reveal that she plans to have relationships with more women in the future.It was.
“Heh heh heh~.”
“…”
The more she saw this happy Belin, the more she thought that this time she might actually die.
‘…Should I at least write down a will?’
If you change your perspective and think about it…
‘…Ian, I actually have a man other than you and plan to have more in the future.’
Ah…
This really doesn’t work.
Let alone a relationship, just imagining Belin holding another man’s hand made her feel as if her five organs and six organs were being twisted.
“Hey, what should I wear this weekend? Speak quickly. “What should I wear to be pretty?”
“…I told you. “You’re pretty no matter what you wear.”
“Hehe… I know, you bastard.”
“…”
Ibelin avoided looking at her because it was painful to look at her smiling face.
‘…Huh?’
It felt like there were a lot of people in the class today.
‘No, it wasn’t a feeling…’
Perhaps because it was ‘Elise’s Day’ Eve, there were actually a lot of kids from other classes.
Bang-!!
At that time, Ibelin suddenly slammed down on her desk and stood up.
“Oh, I’m surprised… What are you doing? “I’m embarrassed so sit down…”
“Hmm!! Come to think of it! Ian!! “If you eat chocolate, you get a disease that will kill you!!!”
Today, Evelyn was spouting nonsense about what she had eaten wrong.
“No… What are you saying? “When did I do that…”
“Shut up. Anyway, if you eat chocolate you will die.”
“…Yes.”
Even if she wasn’t sick, I could feel Belin’s eyes looking like he was going to kill her if I ate her, so I lowered her head to make her obedient.
****
Bang-!!
Estelle looked at Evelyn at the sudden sound.
“Hmm!! Come to think of it! Ian!! “If you eat chocolate, you get a disease that will kill you!!!”
At Belin’s one word of restraint, the eyes of the other women in the class who were stealing glances at her instantly dispersed.
-What is so annoying…
-You always say we’re childhood friends, but at times like this you pretend to be your girlfriend…
-What are you doing?
Some women complained so loudly that Evelyn couldn’t hear them…
I knew.
‘…Eveline.’
If one of them truly gives chocolate to Ian, Evelyn will never interfere.
Sigh-
Estelle slowly closed her eyes and remembered the day of her group assignment presentation a few days ago.
Nothing entered my head.
‘Yes, I’m asking you on a date. …I have something important to say.’
All that remained in my mind was Ian’s confession to Evelyn.
“…Thank you for saying it like that. “Then I’ll go.”
I smiled desperately and walked away from them.
-Kkirik –kkirik
‘You can’t be sad… You can’t be sad…’
To Ian, I was just a classmate and the head of the library department.
So I didn’t even have the right to be sad.
“Ha…”
I only sighed after dragging the wheelchair for a while.
I felt like I could sort out my emotions in this place where people rarely see me.
Tak-tak-tak-
At that time, I chewed my lip when I heard someone running behind me.
‘…Why now!’
It happened sometimes.
If I’m in a place with few people, idiots who have a grudge against me will rush in.
But the timing was bad.
…Because it seemed like it would be difficult for me to do things ‘in moderation’ right now.
“Ha… I finally found it. Estelle.”
“…This…Belin?”
My body trembled at the fact that it was Evelyn who was chasing me.
I was afraid.
That I could hurt Evelyn…
I was afraid that I would be hated by Ian because of that.
‘…Do not come.’
Please…
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
Although she desperately hoped and hoped, Evelyn did not stop.
‘…Ah.’
Although it was painful, I could understand why Evelyn held a grudge against me.
The two would soon become real lovers.
You probably didn’t want to see someone like me around Ian.
So I decided not to approach Ian anymore…
Drop-
“Estelle.”
“…”
And when she finally stretched out her hand, Ibelin, who had come within reach of her, opened her mouth.
“Are you going to eat lunch?”
“…What?”
“Huh? “Are you going to have lunch?”
“…No. “As I said before, I don’t feel well and I’m not hungry…”
Growling─
The belly clock, which usually never made a sound, rang loudly today.
“Ha, it’s hard to even lie about something like this… He really looks just like the old Ian…”
“…What?”
“If you kept hearing this from earlier, why do you keep asking again? I heard you and Ian looked alike from back in the day. Ruler. Take it, let’s eat in that empty classroom over there.”
Evelyn handed me a lunch box.
It was the lunch box she always shared with Ian.
“…Why?”
It wasn’t a question about lunch boxes.
Why are you being so nice to me?
It was clear that I had followed you this far.
She tried to hide my feelings, but Ibelin had already noticed.
Why did he treat me kindly instead of slapping me and telling me not to approach Ian?
“Why? Are you hungry? “Let’s eat.”
“…You know I’m not asking that.”
“Ha… They resemble each other in this way.”
Opening the empty classroom door, Belin opened her lunch box and said.
“You know, what if I knew? The human mind is not a mind if it moves as it pleases. And it’s okay for that senseless bastard to starve for at least one meal.”
“…”
She felt disgusted with herself.
Until now, I thought people who treated others with prejudice were disgusting, but I was no different.
She was prejudiced, and she was judging the innocent Belin as she pleased.
“…Oh, don’t be mistaken. Estelle.”
Evelyn said, her sapphire-blue eyes sparkling.
“I’m not saying I’m going to make concessions. “No matter who the opponent is, I will never be taken away.”
“…Don’t worry. “I never once thought about taking it away from me, nor did I think I deserved it.”
“What… Hey, do you know how many times I’ve been around that bastard and watched women get screwed? …The bastard should be reasonably handsome, but he’s so damn selfishly handsome… You bastard.”
“…”
Ian is handsome.
I definitely had no choice but to agree with this.
“Well, 90% of the women who are attracted to Ian give up within a week.”
“…Why?”
“Because of me. Honestly, I’m pretty, right?”
“…”
Yum yum- gulp-
This time too, Ibelin devoured her grilled eel, saying something she couldn’t help but agree with.
“Children who have been stabbed once just give up simply because they have this pretty childhood friend by their side all the time.”
“…What about the remaining 10%?”
“She’s one of those kids who think they’re good looking. The kids mistakenly think that even if I am there, they can somehow seduce Ian.
“…”
“They usually fall off within a month. “That bastard must be very tactless… No matter how much she appeals, it doesn’t work, so she turns around and says, ‘Ah, it was tea.'”
Does this refer to me?
But I never had a crush on Ian or thought about him for his looks.
“And Estelle, it’s not 10%, it’s 9.9%.”
“…?”
“The last 0.1% are women like you who just like a person named ‘Ian.'”
“…”
“Honestly, I’m pissed… But they say they’re going to die, so what can I do? Go and argue? Or beg? Don’t take Ian away from me? “You can’t do that.”
“…”
“Haa… Well, even though I said this, if it feels like I’m going to get Ian taken away right in front of me, that might be true… But for now, I just believe that Ian will choose me.”
“…I-I…That far…”
“You’re saying you don’t want to die? What would you do if Ian died today? “I will die along with you.”
She was Ibelin who spoke casually, but that made her seem even more sincere.
Because it felt natural to Evelyn that if Ian died, she would die too.
‘…Ian is dying?’
Just thinking about it made my blood run cold.
It should never happen, but…
If something like that happens, I will first find and kill all the people who killed Ian.
And then…
Just-!
The sound of my fingers snapping brought me back to reality.
“Look. The fact that you even think about this seriously means you are one of the 0.1%. “Usually they think it’s a joke and laugh it off or they get scared and walk away.”
“…Why, why are you telling me this! Something like this…!!”
Forcing myself to face the emotions I had been suppressing…
It felt as if he was telling me not to give up on Ian.
“Ha… That’s right.”
Evelyn sighed deeply, pouted her lips, and said.
“I know it’s really stupid, right? I know… I know… Sigh, I can’t just leave you alone…Ahh!! “I’m already starting to regret it!!”
“…Eveline.”
“Joy! Don’t be mistaken! I’ll say it again, no matter what you do, you have no intention of handing over Ian, right? I just came because I was worried! …Sigh, but why do I really care so much? “Is it because I really look like Ian when he was young?”
“…What was Ian like when he was young?”
Actually, I was worried from before.
What was it like about Ian when he was young that he resembles me?
“Hmph!”
Then Evelyn laughed with a characteristic laugh.
“Aren’t you curious~? But I won’t tell you~”
“…”
“It’s a secret between me and Ian. I think of it as ‘childhood friend privilege.’ Still, I’ve been that guy’s childhood friend for 15 years, so I should have at least one of these things. Hey, eat some more than that. “Lunch time will end soon?”
“…Oh, yes. Okay. “I’ll eat my lunch well.”
“Okay, enjoy it. But…Huh? What is that elf? “Walking in the sky?”
“…”
As if to make room for her so she could eat comfortably, Ibelin approached her window, making her strange noises.
Swoosh─
“Ah~! This! Th! Main! Word! Place! This! Crack! Energy! Big! Done! All!”
“Don’t speak loudly. Evelyn…”
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Evelyn still in check.
‘…Thank you.’
Seeing that, I was deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart.
‘…Thank you for allowing me to love Ian.’
I know it wasn’t an easy choice.
Even I, who was not qualified, was distressed just by seeing Ian getting along with Evelyn.
Moreover, it was Evelyn who was by Ian’s side for the longest time.
The time we loved does not determine the size of love, but it was definitely as painful as the time we loved.
‘…But don’t worry.’
Evelyn will never regret anything because of me.
For the first and last time, I am giving you a macaron that contains all my emotions…
Because I have decided to end my love tomorrow.
