Chapter 105 – 105. I Know (2)
“Well, what… ?”
“I saw it all. Tesia is having sex behind the fouette.”
Kuuung, and say so.
There was a huge blow to my peace of mind.
Obviously the same thing happened last time.
Nevertheless, while doing the same thing in the same place, the secret was revealed to the student again using the same pattern.
Have I become addicted to mixing with those four people?
Or was the problem my attitude of trying to lead a peaceful yet debauched, dual life?
When something I had worried about happened twice, I had no choice but to blame myself.
“L, Lena…”
“Do not worry. “I have no intention of spreading it to other people.”
Elena seemed to understand her anxious thoughts and reassured me.
The girl gently moved her hand to her cheek and looked closer.
“I was jealous.”
“Yes… ?”
“People from other warrior parties. Tessia and I kissed her, held her hands, touched her skin passionately. “I was so jealous of him doing that.”
There was a sparkle in Elena’s eyes that was very similar to the heat shown by those four people.
“If I had the same heart, I would like to be like Tessia right now.”
Despite her passionate words, Elena did not come closer to me.
I just stroked her cheek a few more times, and she smiled a little bitterly.
“But that can’t be possible. “I am still the duke of the Schubert family.”
“…”
“So, Tessia.”
Elena lowered her arms.
A hand approaches slowly.
The girl gently wrapped my awkwardly stiff hand.
“Can you please wait a moment?”
The girl said.
“One day, when I will be able to take off all these handcuffs with my own strength. “Then I want to formally confess again.”
She said, her cheeks flushed.
“From now on, I want to let Tessia know about my charms so that she can accept me then.”
She spoke with sincerity.
What enters her ears and eyes is a whirlpool of emotions mixed with respect and love.
I just blinked in surprise as the girl warmed my hand with her warm body temperature.
“I will never be pushed aside by the other four people. “I will do my best to secure a place in Tesia’s heart.”
The girl continued her words confidently.
Elena, who fearlessly declared war on the warrior party, followed with a shy smile on her lips.
“So, Tessia.”
Elena raised her hand.
The girl slowly touched her face with the back of my hand.
Side, and.
The sound of a kiss being heard timidly.
An unexpected breath touched the back of her hand.
The tickling sensation caused heat to rise all over her face.
“Oh…”
Instinctively, I let out a sigh or wonder.
With her other hand, she comforted her shocked chest.
Elena smiled brighter as she clearly noticed my reaction.
“Can I show my sincerity to Tesia like everyone else?”
Thud. Boom.
A heavy sound spreads within her chest.
My heart was pounding so hard that it hurt.
Her ears are deafening. A loud beating is heard.
My eyes and cheeks are hot.
I feel like steam is rising inside my throat.
A confession that she has never heard before, where she purely pours out her feelings.
There is no dark heart in it.
Only pure enthusiasm and passionate affection were contained in Elena’s words.
Isn’t this a truly happy confession?
A girl declared that she would put even her own status aside and choose me.
Even if the rivals are the heroes of the country’s salvation and a party of warriors who defeated even the devil lord.
Even though I am being courted so passionately, my heart still belongs to those crazy bitches.
I wouldn’t choose Elena for any amount of affection.
But.
The girl’s heart is so happy.
The girl’s words of only looking after me are so sweet.
Such pure happiness.
The expression a girl makes when she says no.
The image of a girl shedding tears in despair and depression.
Feeling guilty when imagining it.
Two complex thoughts completely eliminated the intention to refuse from my mind.
“… Are you sure it’s okay?”
Finally, I ask again.
It’s hard to even look at Elena with a red face.
It feels as if my soul has returned to being a pure teenager.
“I’m not as cool as Elena thinks. “She is just one of those common people you can find everywhere.”
“Not really. Teshia is a truly wonderful person.”
“She could be deeply disappointed and hurt that will never go away. “Miss Elena could get hurt because of me.”
“I have already made up my mind.”
It seemed like I couldn’t bend Elena’s will with my words.
They say that first love never comes true, and now I finally understand what they mean.
If you put your heart into it so recklessly, and it works out, it would be like trying to find a needle in a sandy desert.
But everything has already happened.
It was all our fault for letting Elena know her secret.
Elena was just moved by me for affirming her existence.
So, this is the best for now.
“… I understand.”
He nodded and accepted the girl’s feelings.
Elena’s eyes sparkled at me with a face as wide as a lily in full bloom.
“Please continue to look after me, Elena. I hope someday I fall in love with you too.”
“Yes… ! Thank you so much, Tesia! And I really, really like it!”
Elena came back into my arms, expressing joy with her whole body.
This time I didn’t push the girl away.
I looked at the happy girl’s expression, both bitter and happy.
Elena let out a laugh and hogged my arms for a long time after that.
***
The evening glow that burned the sky slowly set, and the stars, along with the approaching ultramarine light, illuminated our faces one by one.
I was taking pleasant steps with Sally at the Academy, where streetlights were slowly lighting up the road one by one.
“Hehe, hehe~.”
“Keeuh?”
“Does it feel that good?”
“Kiruk.”
“Of course! Tesia accepted my confession, so I couldn’t help but be happy!”
I spoke loudly, but no one in the academy could hear me.
“Even though we’re not going to become lovers or anything like that right now, at least there’s a possibility for me to be in that position, right? “I feel like I’m going to fly away because I’m so happy with just that!”
She looked at Sally with a smile and continued humming.
Sally also clicked her tongue happily.
Today is a really happy day.
I have never experienced such a happy moment before.
That was the moment I was thinking that.
“Hehe, Teshia said she would be late. “So something like that happened?”
Just before heading to the main gate of the academy.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
Even though the temperature touching my skin was definitely cool, the breeze felt warm.
The green magic contained within made me straighten my waist.
“Then I guess you are the cat thief who was cheekily spying on us earlier, Miss Elena Schubert?”
She, the wind itself, said.
An elf wearing a stylish military uniform, with long, smooth blonde hair fluttering, slowly approached me.
Perhaps because I was so nervous, cold sweat formed inside my uniform in an instant.
Sally, with her tail fully erect, slowly took her steps and stood in front of me as if to block me.
The back of Sally, who seems to be trying to encourage me.
I finally gained courage and called the elf’s name.
“Liliana, sir… ?”
“Hehe.”
Liliana just smiled.
In a smile that felt relaxed, I felt a lot of pressure that couldn’t be expressed in words.
“You don’t have to be that nervous. “I don’t really have any intention of saying anything.”
“Yes? But I just thought it was cheeky…”
“It’s true that it’s shameful because I secretly spied on adults’ affairs. If not, would it be correct to say that he is precocious?”
“Eww…”
A word from Liliana that touched the sense of guilt that had been in her heart from the beginning.
I didn’t have anything to say, so I just held her hands together politely and lowered her head like a defeated soldier.
“Sorry…”
“Oh my, there was no need to apologize. This is completely indiscriminate at the time and place… Huh. It was our fault for not being able to discern between right and wrong.”
I thought I just heard the word ‘estrus’.
She raised her head and carefully made eye contact with Liliana.
“… Hehe.”
Liliana’s clear green iris.
I felt a sense of kinship with that relaxed smile.
“It’s just like me.”
“Yes?”
As if reading my inner thoughts, Liliana spoke.
“Your eyes. Both the color and what’s inside it. “He’s completely identical to me.”
“Well, that…” … Are you going?”
“Yes. It’s clear.”
After saying that, Liliana approached.
Every time she took a step, Sally snorted as if threatening, but she didn’t seem to care at all.
“Maybe you fell in love with Tessia for the same reason I did. I understand that well.”
“If it’s the same reason… ?”
“Hehe. Guess what it means.”
Lady Liliana reached out to me with her still beautiful smile.
“We’ll be lovers from now on, right?”
“Yes…”
“Hehe. Then let’s work hard together.”
“Yes?”
Out of embarrassment, he looked straight up at Liliana and raised a question in his voice.
Of course, I thought you would criticize me or say something to check me.
Liliana’s tone was so gentle that I could not believe my ears.
Sally also tilted her head to the side as if she didn’t understand.
“I see so much of myself reflected in you. The person I like and the reason I like it.”
So, Liliana continued her words leisurely.
“Did you say it was a sense of kinship? Maybe that’s why I can’t hate it at all.”
“Liriana…”
“Oh, of course you’ll have to be careful about the other three. Especially since we will be meeting Ariel at the academy in the future.”
Hearing that, a chill ran down her spine once again.
If you make a mistake and get a failing grade from Professor Ariel, your graduation will be in jeopardy.
Liliana looked at my shaking gaze with a mischievous look in her smile.
After shaking my hand, she said her last words.
“Let’s do our best together. Towards each other’s first love.”
“Yes, yes.”
Liliana seemed to be satisfied with my stupid answer and turned around.
The wind blew again from somewhere.
Liliana disappeared as if melting into it, leaving only a small trace of warmth in my palm.
She looked down at her palm in a daze.
Then, she quietly muttered the question that suddenly occurred to her.
“… “First love?”
I remember that Liliana was definitely in her late 80s.
So, does that mean she had never experienced love before she met Tessia?
Instead of making half-hearted calculations, she shook her head left and right vigorously.
It was because Liliana, who still remained in her mind, seemed to be quietly smiling and getting angry.
