Chapter 86 – ‘Holy’ Ellis’ Day (7)
“…Er…Stel?”
“Ah, ah!…Ian…Help me!…Estelle…I’m…Crazy!!”
“…”
Wow-!
Estelle’s nails dug into her clenched fists.
I didn’t want to show Ian like this.
Because I still think of Ian’s sad face from time to time when I was in first grade.
…But I had to make Delphicia pay.
「Shoot-water-room…」
I tried to chant while ignoring Ian…
Percussion-!
“Estelle!!”
Ian ran towards me in an instant and grabbed my wrist and shouted.
“Let go!!…Ian!! “Let go of this!!”
“Okay, so calm down first and cancel the magic first!! “You can still cancel the chant!!”
“No!!! Ian!! No!! Let me go!! You have to!! “I have to make Delphicia pay more!!”
“Estelle!! Please!!”
“Aaaaah!!! Ian! Let go! Please let go!!!…Ah?..Ahh!!”
Ugh-!!
Perhaps because his emotions were so shaken, the magic collapsed and the magic power contained in the water droplets showed signs of exploding.
‘…Oh, no!’
If the water droplet bursts in this state, Ian will be swept away.
Even if I had to die, I could never see that.
Sigh-!
I tried to pull the water droplet that was about to burst into my arms…
Pugh-!!
“…Ah?”
“…”
On the contrary, the moment the water droplet burst, Ian wrapped around me and bounced away.
“Ah, Ian!!!!”
I heard Evelyn scream.
“Ah…Ah…!Ahh…Ah…!!”
Blood flowed from Ian’s forehead as he fell to the floor.
It was I who let it spill.
“Ah, no.!!..No!!…I-Ian..!…!!Ugh…!!!”
Vomiting sprang up.
I was out of breath.
I felt like my heart was going to break.
I don’t know. I don’t know.
What should I do
What should I do…
I couldn’t think of anything.
My vision just turned black.
“Huh …! Huh ..!.
“Ah… Lady!!!”
So when I came to my senses again…
I was crying in Frederica’s arms.
****
“Hey, Ian!!!!”
Delphisia’s fingertips trembled at the sight of Evelyn screaming.
‘…Lord…Are you dead?’
Did Ian die because of me?
“Ah..Ah..!!..No!!..I..Ian!!..Come on..Come to your senses!!..Off..Ah..Ahh!!!”
I had no intention of making it this big.
I just wanted to mess with Estelle, who was annoying me a little.
It was just that…
“…Please…Please…Someone…Go…Go…Take…Uris…Bring…Anyone…!…I…Ian…I…Come to my senses…Kehehehe!!”
“Ugh!! Are you okay! I came to my senses. Because it’s okay. Don’t call me… Yuris, you’ll be surprised. Ah!…It hurts!”
“Ah..!!..Ah…Ah…Ah…!!!…Kkkk! You idiot!! Sigh…! If you interrupt me like that during a magic chant… What should I do?!… Sigh…”
“No… Evelyn, it was still possible to cancel the chant at that time… So I thought you would cancel it.”
“Shut up… You idiot!… You… You… You… Die!… You… Are… Seriously… Hurt! If so…!!I..I..Uh…What should I do!!..Blah…!!”
“Stop crying because you’re not dead. Huh? And I didn’t just rush in without thinking, right? Anyway, it wasn’t a ‘blade’ series, it was a ‘bell’. At best, I probably broke a bone. And Estelle must have controlled her strength well and is fine.”
“Kkeuuuuutttturing ust.. Heheshe she she she her her her her her she she she or it or her it or it it it it or it or it or or it or it it it it it it it it it it it it? “It’s bleeding… From your forehead…”
“Uh… Really? Well, I guess I was a little offended. Look. “It’s almost stopped already.”
It was only after seeing Ian smiling as if nothing had happened that Delpicia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ha…Thank you…Ian…For helping me…I…Got hurt…And I’m sorry…”
“No, Delphicia, you don’t have to be sorry. Of course, friends should help each other. “Are you hurt anywhere other than your cheek?”
“Uh… Yes, Ian. “Thanks to you, I didn’t get hurt.”
Delphicia laughed softly.
She honestly felt superior when she thought that it was she, and not Estelle, that Ian was worried about next to Ibelin.
“Okay? Then Delphicia…”
“…Huh?”
At that time, she asked Ian as he picked up Estelle’s gift box that had been left on the floor.
“…Did you do this?”
Scary.
Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary. Scary.
Was Ian a man who could make an expression like this?
Maybe it was because Ian was always smiling and smiling, but I never even imagined him getting angry.
“Ugh…Ah…No!…I…No…Ian!”
“…”
I was much more afraid to look at Ian’s face now than when Estelle had cast her spell.
“Mi..Believe me!!..Kkhehe…I..I’m like that…No…”
“…”
Ian’s black eyes pierced Delphicia.
Rattling-!!
Was I caught lying?
Delpicia’s whole body trembled at the sight of Ian staring at her without saying a word.
“Okay…Then that’s a relief.”
After a while, Delpicia was finally able to breathe again after seeing Ian’s faint smile.
“Eveline.”
“Huh…Yeah…Ugh…”
“I’m fine… Now calm down… I’m going to go look for Estel for a moment.”
“Ssi… First, from the nurse’s office… No… Ha… Okay. First, go to the stairs on the right end of the 4th floor. “It seemed like he was there often.”
“Yes, thanks for letting me know.”
Sigh—
Ian walked out of the classroom with her messed up gift box in his arms.
“…Ha..Haa..Haa!!”
“Are you okay Delphicia?”
“Uh…Yeah…Suina…It’s okay. Fortunately, it went well…”
Bang—!!
At that time, a loud sound rang out from the classroom once again.
It was the sound of Evelyn kicking the wall.
“…Uh…Ibelin..?”
“…”
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
Ibelin, who walked without saying a word, glared at her Delphicia and said.
“You fucking bitch.”
“…W-What?..S-Fuck you?”
Everyone knows she has a fierce personality, but she has never seen her swear at anyone other than Ian.
“Yeah, fuck you. “Is that you?”
“…W-what? Why…Suddenly…Swearing…”
“What are you pretending not to know? “I broke the gift Estelle brought me.”
“Ah…No…Ibelin…I…No…”
Sigh—!
“Don’t lie to me before I tear you apart. “I’m barely holding it in right now.”
She was slapped by Ibelin.
It was so strong that the inside of her mouth exploded.
“Off..!!..Ah…No…!…No!!…You…You…Saw it too…!!Ian also believed me when I said no ..And…There is also evidence that I did…!”
“Haa… These fuckers really see Ian as a hotgu.”
Sigh—! Oops!
“Hey, I told you not to lie. “It will tear your mouth apart.”
“…Ouch!…Ahh…!.Ugh…”
“Fuck!! Do you really think Ian was fooled by your shallow lies?”
“Ha..Sniff…I…Ibel…”
Sigh─!!
“Listen without interrupting. Fuck you bitch. Ian wasn’t fooled, he was fooled. Why? Because you’re good at acting? Do you like it?”
“…Ugh!…Ugh…Uv!…”
“No!! Because I just want to believe it!! Fuck!! I really want to believe that my classmate didn’t do something like that!! But what the fuck? Did it go well? Do you really want to chase after me?”
“No!…No!…Mi…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…!”
“Haa…Yeah, fuck you, you should be sorry. You treated my childhood friend like this. But…”
Belin let out a long sigh and said, stroking her forehead.
“Aren’t you sorry to Estelle?”
“…Huh…Huh…!..I..Ibel…Rin…”
“If you like Ian, you’ll know! “How hard is it to convey your feelings to Ian when you have a childhood friend like me by your side!!”
I knew it well.
Delpicia also thought about giving chocolate to Ian, but couldn’t tell him because she was afraid of Evelyn.
The 2nd year senior is Red Rose’s successor.
Estelle was the runner-up for the second year, but…
If she had to choose the scariest person among the second years, it was always Belin.
“…But Estelle tried to tell you. She said she was going to give it a go whether it worked or not, she said fuck!! “I can’t even imagine how much thought Estelle put into preparing the gift, so why did she make it like that?”
Wow—
As Velin’s magic spread, her golden hair fluttered in the air.
“…When Estel comes back, apologize properly.”
“Ugh…!Ugh…!Ugh…!”
“Fuck you…You’re not answering?”
“..Ok..Ah..Ah..Okay…!…Ha..I will!…I will apologize..Ugh!!”
“Haa… If you knew, stop crying, you fucking bitch. How many times are you going to cry because you did a good job? Whoa… Fuck, how many times will I make you cry like that? “Fuck.”
“…”
“What are you talking about? Why? Are you upset because your friend got slapped? Do you want to get hit too?”
“…Ah…No…Ibelin…”
“Or take that fucking bitch to the nurse’s office!! Ah-oh!!! “I really feel like shit!!”
Bang—!!!
Evelyn left the classroom, closing the door roughly, but…
No one remaining in the classroom could open their mouths.
****
‘…Estelle!’
Blame-! Blame-! Blame-!
She was running around looking for Estelle, but she was nowhere to be seen.
“Oh my~! Senior Ian! What a coincidence!☆”
…What I saw instead was Elfriede.
“I’m sorry, Elfriede, but I don’t have time.”
“Chiit~! Sunvan looks busy just by looking at me. “They said they contacted me last time too…”
“…Elfriede. “I really don’t have much free time right now.”
“To? Oh, no… Just a moment! It really only takes a moment… Eh… Because it’s Ellis’… Day…”
“…Sorry. Later.”
Blame-! Blame-!
I apologized to Elfriede and ran back.
But…
‘…Doesn’t exist.’
I looked around the entire second-year building, including the one Evelyn mentioned, but there was no sign of Estelle.
Estelle in the wheelchair wasn’t going to be faster than me, so that meant Estelle had already gone home.
“…”
I sat down on the stairs and took Estelle’s gift box out of my pocket.
Although it was extremely wrinkled from what had happened, I could still tell that it was filled with sincerity.
“…I felt really good.”
Just a few tens of minutes ago, I was truly the happiest I’ve ever been in my life…
In an instant, I felt the worst.
“Ha…What should I do…”
I didn’t tell Estelle, and I don’t plan on telling her in the future, but…
I was looking at ‘past me’ and ‘Estelle’ overlapping.
That’s why I approached Estelle first.
Just as I was helped by Evelyn, I also wanted to be helpful to Estelle.
…But.
It wasn’t until I was running around looking for Estelle like my heart was going to explode that I realized it too late.
“It wasn’t just because of that…”
In the time we spent together, Estelle had become undeniably important to me.
