Chapter 11 – Dia Celeste.
The weekend flew by and it was Monday again.
No matter how far the rumor spread between those two days, the campus was buzzing with the fact that cashew nut was taken to the discipline room.
Even secondary themes were related to the event. The end of Lilia and the bet between cashew nuts and Efri. Although only the two of them knew about the connection between the discipline room and the bet.
As for Lilia, as soon as she came out of the discipline room, she broke into pieces. She was immediately taken before the steering committee and reprimanded. According to rumors she heard, she flew up to several thick folders with a high pitched voice.
What fell after the commotion broke out was the notice of dismissal. Should I say it’s good luck or bad luck? Lilia was able to remain at the school because of a clause that said, “She will remain a teacher until she finds a new teacher.”
Of course everyone knew. It’s a clause that doesn’t make much sense anyway. At De Rexar Academy, there were tens of thousands of people who would line up if they were looking for a teacher, but she should have been fortunate that she didn’t get fired in one day, let alone maintained.
That’s why the students didn’t discuss whether or not Lilia would be retained as a teacher. She said that in a matter of days she would be kicked out of the academy, but this was the only subject.
Even though it was her first interest in cashew nuts after she entered school, nothing has changed about her. She was a little late, but she went to school by herself, put down her bag, took out her writing utensils, brought books, and checked under the desk. Cashew Nut’s morning time went by without any error today.
There was nothing under the desk today. Even the fan club can’t always give gifts. I thought it was no big deal and easily passed it on.
“Are you here?”
The now familiar voice tickled my ears. When she turned her head, it was F. Lee.
“Huh. I’m a little late because I have work.”
“What happened?”
“Oh, there is such a thing.”
I couldn’t bear to say, ‘I overslept while texting you until dawn’, so the cashew nuts were vague.
Shortly thereafter, a conversation blossomed between the two. To be precise, it was an extension of the story that I couldn’t finish at dawn. Hobbies, interests, things like that. It was a common topic of conversation among ordinary friends.
To others, it was like ‘Cashew nuts made a friend in two days’, so people around them showed a brief interest in the changed relationship between the two. Among them, there were those who made inferences from the ‘bet’, but in the end, they did not reach the secret of the secret master-servant relationship.
And even that interest soon faded. In a way, it was natural. What they are doing now is the number of two extremely ordinary female students. However, the target was ‘cashew nuts’, which drew attention. There was nothing else special about it.
However, it may look different to some people.
“Cashew nuts?”
Their conversation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of another person’s voice.
When I asked who it was, Dia was holding a small paper box.
“Uh, hello. Is it Diamond?”
“Yes, Dia. Good morning.”
Dia smiled and shook her head.
Dia, who came straight to the side of the cashew nut, said in a voice bursting with cuteness.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Huh. I received treatment and got better.”
“The last time I saw you in the hallway, I was worried about you even after we broke up because your complexion didn’t look good, but I’m so glad you did.”
Dia, who let out a sigh of relief as if she was sincerely relieved, held out the box she was holding to the cashew nuts.
“This is a gift, please accept it.”
“Ah, thank you. I will eat well.”
It was like a box of snacks made by several fan club members. As expected, when I opened it, it was full of various candies and chocolates.
He took out a small candy from there. I peeled the skin and put it in my mouth. The saliva slowly melted the candy, creating a sweet taste. Strawberry flavor spread throughout the mouth.
As they were eating so deliciously, their eyes focused on the cashew nuts. Of course, I didn’t intend to eat all of the cashews alone, so I decided to share them in moderation.
“How many diamonds would you like to eat?”
“It’s still a gift, but how… “
“The gift owner said it was fine.”
“Then I will be grateful… “
Dia immediately pulled out a small piece of chocolate from the box and bit it. Her small lips moved a few times, and then a scent burst from her expression.
It’s a cute face, but seeing her like that made me want to stroke her hair. In fact, she had been petted once before, when she couldn’t stand it.
But she couldn’t do it now. Epri, because the owner was there. You must not dare to lay hands on another woman.
‘But if I’m going to get scolded for touching it, wouldn’t it be better to touch it instead?’
It was a cashew nut that was thinking about getting scolded while doing so.
She handed Dia the right amount of chocolate, so now it was Efrey’s turn. Cashews asked Efri as she rummaged through her box.
“Efri, do you want something to eat too?”
“I don’t eat that much. Can you pick one?”
“Okay.”
Cashews took a hard look inside her box.
First of all, candy-shaped chocolate nestled in the middle. I guess I can’t give you that. It’s the most delicious, but that’s why it seemed that even Dia would want her to eat it.
No big ones, so she looked for small ones. Chocolates of various shapes and candies of various flavors. The chocolate seemed to be there anyway, so she decided to look for the candy.
Starting with the strawberry flavor that I forgot earlier, orange flavor, soda flavor, coffee flavor, and so on, there were dozens of flavor feasts. Among them, there was also a grape taste, and as soon as I saw it, the contents of Dawn’s text message came to mind.
= Do you have any favorite fruits?
– Grape!
– It’s so sweet… The best really
After saying that, Epri disappeared for a while.
After about five minutes or so, Efri returned with her tray full of certified shots of grapes. An explanation followed immediately. ‘I couldn’t stand the sudden mention of grapes, so I brought them,’ he said.
Even after that, Epri’s praise of grapes continued through text messages for a long time. Since he is the owner and her friend, Effrey’s love for grapes was deep and wide, to the point that he eventually gave up even the cashews he tried to give in moderation.
She didn’t have to hesitate. Cashews immediately held out a lollipop colored deep purple.
“Then with this.”
“Does it taste like grapes?”
“Huh.”
Hearing those words, Efri’s expression visibly brightened.
Efri, who received the candy from the cashew nuts, carefully opened the wrapper. The plastic wrapper rustled and landed on the floor. She looked at her exposed hard inner body with an ecstatic expression.
Soon the round thing disappeared into her mouth. A crunching sound signaled that the candy had been broken. Efri, who sucked the candy for a while, gave her expression as if she had her whole world.
“Ehehe, it’s really delicious. Grape… “
Seeing Efri’s cute reaction, which she hadn’t seen before, the corner of Cashew’s mouth went up by itself.
Just then, the sharp voice of Dia interrupted.
“Come to think of it, the two of you seem to have improved a lot since the bet. In the past, I thought they just said hello in the morning.”
“Yeah, that’s how it happened.”
“May I ask how you became close?”
The thought circuit of the cashew nut that received the question ran busily.
Of course, I couldn’t tell the truth. I’m a novice masochist, and Efri is a skilled sadist. So she did one dirty thing, and after that, we texted back and forth and found out that we were compatible. So we became friends
As soon as I said it as it was, the train to Narak was only a matter of time, so I conveyed the truth by blurring only the most important part.
“Oh, just… I got a phone number because of the bet, and since we exchanged text messages, it seemed like we got along well. That’s how it happened.”
“Was it like that?”
Dia’s voice, which had risen sharply for a moment, broke down and continued with a little slack.
“Me too… You must be cashewnut-sama’s friend, right?”
“Yeah, right?”
“Then can I get your contact information too?”
“Uh… “
At Diamond’s bold request, Cashew Nut was at a loss for words for a moment.
Everything related to cashew nuts Lüberg’s personal information was a security matter.
Still, there was no particular reason for giving Epri a number. Because you know the secret. After all, since he revealed that he was a masochist, he was on the same boat, so there was no reason why he couldn’t give away his phone number, which wasn’t even worth 1/100 of that secret.
After pondering for a while, Cashew came to her conclusion.
‘As long as it’s a diamond, a mouse can do it, right?’
She was in the same class after entering school, and within a few days it didn’t make sense that she couldn’t give her phone number to the person who brought her gifts every day because of her security. And even if she leaked, it wouldn’t matter much. It’s okay to change through the carrier.
“Okay, I’ll let you know.”
“Yes, Dia. Thank you. Mr. Cashew.”
Dia nodded once and smiled at the cashew nuts.
= = = = = = = = = =
Dia Celeste’s life has not been so happy since her birth.
She was born in an obstetrics and gynecology clinic near a one-room village. It is a studio where she has lived since she was a child. Her mother was there, but she couldn’t see where her father had gone.
After graduating from elementary school, which is compulsory by the state, Dia had to jump straight into the livelihood. He took a part-time job during the day, seven days a week, to ease the burden on his mother, and when he left work, he studied for his intermediate school diploma.
Since then, respectful words have been attached to Dia. It was a habit derived from the law of survival, saying that it is better not to let go of words than to let go of words in order to please many people and have an amicable relationship.
Thus, Diana, a hard worker, earned her intermediate school diploma in no time at the age of 19.
The next target was Drexar Academy. Although it was strict, it was a prestigious academy where success was guaranteed if you studied hard and graduated.
The process, of course, was not smooth. He had to combine studies and work. Still, because of the routine she had been doing before, Dia was finally able to accept the acceptance letter from Drexar Academy.
He felt very refreshed when he went to school wearing a pretty school uniform. All middle schools wear uniforms, so academies usually prefer places without uniforms, but Dia wasn’t like that at all.
In that way, Dia became the student she wanted to become.
And on his first day of school, Dia gets to see one of the most famous people in the kingdom.
Cashew Nut Lüberg. The duke’s daughter.
Although she did not watch the drama directly like Efri, Dia was also fascinated by the narrative of cashew nuts in her own way while studying history. The descendants of the family who solved everything with the power of love made Dia have an unknown longing.
So, in the end, I did it on the third day of her admission.
“I admire you.”
Diamond, who gave her a gift with a brief message, quickly disappeared in front of the cashew nut.
At first, the effect was not great. In fact, at the beginning of admission, there were many people who paid tribute to cashew nuts for any reason.
But it was only Dia who did it every day, and that’s how she became a person who is the ‘representative of people who admire cashew nuts’.
Diamond, who became her focal point, unintentionally made her a central role for some.
“Can I join in giving gifts too?”
“You are the princess of the Lüberg family. It must have seemed very high… “
Each had different motives and purposes, but there were those who wanted to express their admiration for Cashew Nut, and Dia united them to create something similar to her fan club.
After that, Diamond’s simple gift was systematized and delivered under her desk every day. There were times when she couldn’t collect her gift because it was a free meeting, but at this time, she gave her gift by paying her own expenses.
At the same time, her admiration gradually turned to liking. And that crush eventually made Dia fall into the swamp of her deep and dark love.
The glossy black hair of cashew nuts looked so soft. Her deep and cold inner side was majestic enough to freeze anything, and the way she kept a reasonable distance from anyone gave her appearance a persuasive power.
Of course I knew. That love can’t come true anyway. It wasn’t just a family matter.
Homosexuality.
Even if there is a corner that is recognized in modern society, there was no way that such a thing would be allowed in the strict drexar academy. Just listening to the seniors say that there are some students who were dragged to the disciplinary room and expelled for doing such a thing. There was no reason for Dia, who should be aiming for her success, to do such a thing.
While I was having such a conflict, Efri appeared.
In the morning, a showdown to break the Magic Stone was suddenly held within the class. Cashew also tried hard, but in the end the victory was Efri’s.
In fact, it seemed negative until then, but I just passed it on. Well, there are a lot of things going on in the world, and cashews can’t always be great. And the fact that she won a match against cashew nuts can itself be a source of pride for her career.
Then, the development that the discipline room couldn’t grasp continued.
“Cashew, can you take a short walk with me?”
What the hell had happened in just a few hours, before I knew it, the two of us were able to talk alone.
And only two days after the incident, the two became extremely close, chatting since morning, and even sharing gifts they gave.
For a moment, I had strong doubts, and I squeezed through the flow of the two and asked. How did you become so friendly?
The answer that comes back is also.
Because we are friends.
That was it.
‘That’s right. Just simple… It must be a friendship.’
I didn’t think it was difficult. It’s usually because there are many cases where we become friends while fighting. Efri and cashew nuts are probably one of many examples.
Still, it’s not too late. The two of them must have normal tendencies, unlike themselves anyway. Like a normal woman, she will like a man, and in the end, if they become close, they will be friends.
That’s why, if you act more actively than now, you can overcome the relationship between the two.
So that’s where I got the contact information.
‘I won’t lose, Efri. I will definitely overcome it.’
After thinking about it, Dia stared at the cashew nut’s contact information on her phone.
