Chapter 62 – Wild Changes (5)
Russ’ words turn the atmosphere into chaos.
The Ade party members who set the mood seriously smiled
He made a fuss while looking at Stion.
“Young.”
Boyle, the bald man, says with a big smile.
The only ones whose expressions did not change were Stion and Russ.
Russ was so sincere,
Stion didn’t like that sincerity.
The moment the atmosphere is about to unwind, Stion speaks heavily again.
“You are late. Starchis has a lover.”
“Uh? Does Starches have a girlfriend?”
“What is it, really?”
But there was no atmosphere at all.
The party members were surprised by the new facts and were busy asking questions.
“I will tell you later.”
He calmed down the surprised party members.
Stion looked at Russ.
“Anyway, it’s over. I have a girlfriend. You should give up too.”
“…”
“They are dating beautifully. There is no room for you to intervene.”
Russ drips her tears again.
“Then the reason for you to be taught by me is gone. How hard do you think you can work because of a heart that won’t be reciprocated? You can do that for a while, but not for long. I don’t want to try for someone who will give up.”
“…”
Russ sat behind her confession with her head bowed again.
Dark black hair poured down beautifully like a waterfall.
“Go back, so. I should have done better when I had the chance.”
“…Will…”
“What?”
Tududuk-
Russ’ tears continued to wet her desk.
“…I’m not doing this because I want to be rewarded, I’m doing this because I can’t give up…”
Russ couldn’t give up her feelings for him.
After he had a lover, it was a series of pain.
She couldn’t sleep every night from the pain in her chest.
She sighed every now and then, and it seemed as if a huge stone had been placed on her chest.
The pain of tearing flesh and bursting skin was an incomparable pain.
This was repeated every day and it drove her crazy.
So maybe she would be comfortable with giving up on her feelings for him.
But she couldn’t do that at all.
She couldn’t imagine herself without him by his side.
The future without him was terrifying and unbearable.
So she had to act.
She had to work hard to stay close to Stachis.
-Widely!
Fioren, a woman with a sharp impression, slaps Stion on the shoulder.
“Stion, you should be considerate of a woman’s heart.”
“What?”
“If it was a heart that could be thrown away so easily, it wouldn’t be love.”
Fioren brushed Russ’s flowing hair through her ears.
“Cutie? Stop crying. Someone give me a handkerchief.”
Boyle, a large bald man, rose from his seat and brought a handkerchief.
Fioren said while wiping Russ’ face.
“It’s admirable, you know how to work hard for the person you love.”
“Why are you making that effort now? If I was going to do it, I should have done it before I had a girlfriend.”
Fioren wiped away Russ’ tears, but her face was still wet with her tears.
“Stop making your child cry, Stion.”
“No, I have to say something. If you liked Starches, why did you draw the line?”
“…Yes?”
“I hear you, brother. You kept calling me a friend and drawing a line.”
Stion pointed with her chin at the ring on Russ’ hand.
“That half too. It’s a friendship ring. Who gives a friendship ring to someone they like?”
“…”
“..Is that so, pretty?”
Fioren lowered her head, trying to meet Russ’ eyes.
Once again Russ, her own friendship ring looked shabby.
She couldn’t open her mouth on this part.
She couldn’t say that she had made a stupid pact called the Stachis Pact.
It was a shameful past.
“I didn’t want to go out with you, but after losing it, did it feel like a waste?”
“No!!”
Russ raised her head hastily and said.
“That’s… Absolutely not! For several years.. Only Starchis..”
“How many years… ?”
Stion laughed.
“Wow… Haha… Do you… Have to tell me this..?”
“…?”
“Steon, if it’s mean, don’t say it.”
“Don’t keep defending him, Fioren. Do you know how hard it was for Starches?”
“…That’s why you’re having a hard time too… Everyone makes mistakes.”
“Stop preaching.”
Stion ignored Fioren’s words and spoke.
“Russ, do you know how I learned your name?”
Stion and Russ first met at Stachis’ hospital bed.
Stion then came up first and she pretended to know Russ.
“…Starchis talked about me…”
“Right. You talked a lot. Especially a few years ago. At that time, he praised you like that. Russ likes this, likes that, saying.”
Russ sensed a strange turn in the atmosphere.
‘No way.’
“Every time we met, we talked about you. As much as i’m embarrassed Did he tell you everything, even the smallest things?”
Russ felt the time passing slowly.
She shook her head slowly to either side of her, rejecting the approach.
“Honestly, I don’t even know if he knew. He is also very insensitive to his emotions.”
‘No.’
Russ’ heart was beating like crazy.
“Starchis never said it directly, but I know, having lived with him all my life. He liked you.”
“…No!! No!!”
Russ covered her eyes with the palms of her hands and began to cry.
She frantically regrets her past.
As they say now, she didn’t become Stachis’s lover because she drew the line herself.
Had she just let it go, she would have taken the seat next to him to be her own.
The anxiety that such a wonderful person could not like you,
Her eagerness not to fall for her other women hardened her.
If only she had a little more courage.
“Ughhhhh”
No matter how much I tried to endure being in front of the Aid party member, the sound of crying came out loud.
Russ slammed her forehead into her desk and grabbed her chest.
She liked him and she liked herself.
Her tickling feelings she had once felt with him were not her illusions.
She thought it must be an illusion.
Starchis is kind, so I thought he would take care of me more.
Russ cried for a long time.
****
Russ sobbed and calmed down.
Beside her, her fioren took her full seat and comforted her.
After Stion made her cry once, her heart felt relieved.
The old grievances about him bullying her brother seemed to go away.
So, I felt sorry for Russ, who was crying now.
She didn’t regret what she had done, but she watched her and continued to swallow her saliva.
Making someone cry has a bitter aftertaste.
Russ, whimpering, opened her mouth in her stiff air.
“…Suck..Well, yeah, sucks..But how to fight, sucks, tell me..”
Russ kept taking her breath out of sync and couldn’t get her words right.
Fioren looked at her with a smile as if she was treating her child, because she was cute that way.
It was different from the sharp first impression.
“…No. Do you think crying will change your opinion?”
Stion shook her head.
That’s it, and this is this.
“Huh.. That.. I’ll be really good at it, hee-eup.. I’ll be good at it.. Hee-uh..”
“Hey, stop crying!”
Stion is hot.
She seemed to be the bad guy all the time.
Unlike when the atmosphere was set earlier, the number of people who sided with Russ and sent her stinging glare increased.
“Sion, just teach me.”
Bald boyle says
“If you’re going to do it, you do it, Boyle. He’s a avant garde you’re a warrior too There must be a lot you can tell me.”
“…I have no talent for teaching..”
“Neither do I. I came to this position after struggling to live. I have something to teach you.”
“Stion, are you saying you’re going to shut up after making a kid who likes your younger sister cry?”
Naturally, Fioren also helped Russ.
“I mustered up the courage to be honest and told you everything. Are you telling me to just go back like this?”
Stion was placed on a cushion of thorns.
‘Ac..’
“No, it’s because I have no talent to teach you something. As you can see, I fight crudely.”
“Even if that’s the case..Suck..If you let me know…”
“There’s nothing to tell you because these are instinctive movements.”
Stion nailed it.
He wasn’t even lying.
He wasn’t the kind of person to teach anyone anything.
Russ showed her disappointment.
‘Then… What on earth should I do to help Starchis?’
She thinks
At first, I thought that if I developed my skills, anything would be possible.
I cringe from the first page.
Russ was embarrassed that her tears kept flowing.
Now I see that she was just too much of a nuisance to Aid.
Stion told her no.
I am no longer here and do not want to interrupt their time.
Russ staggered from her seat.
“Pretty girl, where are you going?”
Fioren asked, holding Russ’ hand.
Russ took her big breath, calmed her breath, and folded her waist to greet her.
“…I’m sorry for bothering you again and again. I’ll just go..”
And hastily Russ turned her around.
As she wipes away her tears once again with her forearm, she is about to head for the door.
Stion called her.
“… Wait.”
“…Yes?”
“Aye. I don’t want to…”
“Steon.”
“Ah, Fioren. Just look at a pretty girl and she’ll have her eyes rolling. Even if you didn’t have any skills, you’re kicked out of the party! Know?!”
Stion bluntly shoots at Fioren.
“Thank you, Stion.”
And Fioren noticed why Stion was doing this and smiled at her.
Stion looked at Russ and said.
“I cannot teach you. Like I said, I’m not one to teach anyone. Even Starchis, who uses the same weapon, I didn’t teach him.”
“…”
“But, experience can be accumulated. You guys are all responsible. Don’t you try to put it off only for me?!”
Stion shouted while looking at the party members.
“The kids who aren’t there may feel unfair, but you guys convince them. Russ, follow us in the future.”
“…Yes?”
“Anyway, we’re taking a break from the Starches party. You follow us Then, learn your skills.”
“Are you asking me to follow the A-class quests together… ?”
“If you’re scared, stop.”
“That, that’s not it, won’t I be a nuisance..?”
“Why is it a nuisance? I won’t help you I don’t care if you die or not.”
“…You lie again, Stion. With life as the most important thing.”
“Anyway, it’s for my sister’s sake, so I’m accepting it. Okay? Not for you.”
Russ bowed her head once more.
Also, it was partly to hide her teary face.
“Thank you very much..”
“Come here in the morning starting tomorrow. We also solve a lot of emergency missions.”
