Chapter 96 – 57-1 Festival Preparations, and the Unconscious.

“Haaaaa…!”

A long, protracted yawn.

Let’s rub our eyes and look around. On the bed where the traces of that night remain intact.

Lying next to each other, I watched indifferently as each of them was sleeping soundly, each breathing softly.

‘How much did you do yesterday? I can’t remember.’

I clearly remember what they did while clinging to me, who lost their reason and were faithful to their desires.

‘Did you sleep as is?’

Scratching her head, Allen carefully got out of bed and went straight to the shower so as not to wake the sleeping women.

When I adjusted the temperature and turned on the water, the water stream poured violently from the shower head, and the sticky residue left on Allen’s body washed away from the night and dawn, and he was looking refreshed.

‘I need to exercise.’

After coming out of her shower, Allen looked at them as he brushed her wet hair.

‘I want to do it again.’

As the desire to exercise, which I had decided on in the shower, gradually faded, I wanted to remove the blanket that covered the dangerous part every time I moved slightly.

“It’s okay. I just need to exercise.”

She puts on her clothes, which she has thrown off casually, and Allen shakes and wakes Agnes, who is still in her dreamland.

“Hmm… Good night, Joo-nii-i-ah-um…”

Agnes wakes up and greets me in the morning while looking at me with dreamy eyes, but I wonder if she is quite tired.

How cute it was to see him waking up from sleep and yawning loudly.

“The owner is leaving, so you see him off like that?”
“What? Oh no?”

Soft voice.

Agnes, drunk in her sleep, is startled by her Allen’s voice and picks up her glasses from her shelf.

“Everyone, come back, Master… Huh? Why, why are you…?”

When she slightly corrected her glasses, which had been worn crookedly, Agnes, embarrassed, looked at Allen with blushing cheeks.

“Go, why are you suddenly so friendly…?”
“Why? Is it awkward for me to be friendly?”
“Oh no! Oh, rather…”
“That’s all right. See you later.”
“Ah, yes…! Everyone, please go…”

The sound of a door opening and closing.

Agnes, seeing with her own eyes that Allen was gone, exhaled the breath she had been holding back, calming her burning face.

****

She left the secret room and returned to her dormitory, where Allen took off her yesterday’s clothes, changed into her gym uniform, took a towel and a water bottle, and went out to her playground.

Morning.

Dawn fled and the yellow-blazing sun rose.

Those who go to school all over the place.
Those who exercise everywhere.

And.

Returning from her workout, the blue-and-white girl stops her steps as she watches Allen stretching lightly on her bench.

“…”

Without a word or thought.
Vivian just sits on her bench, warms up her body, and watches the boy running hard on the playground.

I don’t know what to run for. But I was concerned.

One lap, two laps… Ten laps.

As if he wasn’t getting tired, the sight of Allen speeding up and running across the field was enough to stop them in their tracks.

It was then that she was about to head to the shower in a hurry, as if she had noticed that the sweat running down Vivian’s body had cooled off before she knew it.

Running footsteps and panting breath.

The sweaty boy approaches the bluish-white girl who is about to go back and laughs as she runs her wet hair through her hair.

“Good morning?”
“Allen Mestia.”
“Okay. My name is Allen Mestia. Why Vivian Araxis.”
“Why are you running?”

It was out of the blue.

When Vivian asked why he was running, Allen was rather curious than embarrassed.

Why the hell is the blue-and-white girl asking herself?

‘Has your liking increased by beating the bastard who slandered Christine?’

I wondered what Vivian meant by asking, but I didn’t have time to bother with that now.

“You are running to exercise, is there a reason?”
“Okay.”
“Has she been waiting all this time to hear that?”
“No, I didn’t wait. She was just watching.”

Hearing that he had waited, Vivian said calmly, the moment he was about to turn around.

“Let’s eat before taking a shower. I will shoot.”
“Allen Mestia. What are you talking about? I don’t think I’m close enough to have breakfast with you.”
“Then let’s do this. Did you thank me yesterday? In return, let’s have breakfast with me.”
“I remember helping you yesterday.”
“Did I ask for help? Didn’t you just listen?”
“You are an unscrupulous man, Allen Mestia.”
“I am such a guy. So let’s have breakfast together, Vivian Araxis.”

The look of the boy inviting me to a meal while tucking his sweat-drenched hair back is truly shameless.

He said he didn’t want help from yesterday’s work recklessly, and he couldn’t speak to his forced wish to have a meal with him in return.

“I’ll bring a towel and a water bottle, so wait a bit.”

With that said, Allen hurriedly went to grab the towel and water bottle he had left on her bench.

Vivian looked at Allen like that and thought for a moment.

At the time of admission. She had a promise to her sister Christine.

At least I promise to make friends because it’s good.

No matter how dear Christine’s promise was, she had absolutely no desire to be close to anyone else.

Do you know what is hidden in people’s kindly outstretched hands, and dare to take them?

Everyone I’ve seen is wearing a false truth, a mask.

It was just such an ugly creature that hides its own ugly desires with a smiling mask and later reveals the hidden truth.

Allen Mestia will be no different.

Even if you come to me and dazzle me with a false smile like everyone else, I will never get over it.

So, while I was packing my towel and water bottle, I just wanted to ignore his presence and go back.

Why don’t I leave

Are you looking forward to it?

Did I come to expect anything from that boy?

“Come on, let’s go eat.”

Arlen, who has returned before she knows it, tells her to go to the restaurant.

A smile and a voice without fear.

I was afraid.

I wanted to believe it, but I couldn’t believe it.

Beyond that smile, the hidden desire.

I was afraid that he might strangle me, a firm believer.

“What? Are you feeling bad? Your complexion isn’t zero?”

Allen bends his knees and examines Vivian’s complexion.

When Vivian’s eyes, immersed in her thoughts, showed Allen worrying about her to the fullest, she backed away.

“If you’re not feeling well, let’s eat next time. I don’t have the hobby of holding onto sick people and feeding them for no reason.”
“Okay… Next. Let’s promise the next…”

Vivien left, and Allen stood there alone, staring at the back of the bluish-white girl who was leaving.

Childhood trauma of a blue-and-white girl.

The fact that she almost suffered bad things from her men has plagued her ever since.

I thought that it might be uglier and more terrible than the curse.

If so, the answer is fixed.

There is only one thing I can do to overcome the trauma of the blue-white girl.

“Would you like to eat delicious food, watch interesting things, and talk while walking on the street?”

****
In a noisy restaurant.

Allen sat in her chair and waited for breakfast to be served.

‘There you are, Mirai. There’s a bastard here.’
‘Huh…!’

Awkward steps. But it was also a bold step.

The dark blue girl, carefully passing through the crowded cafeteria so as not to collide with her students, reached the boy safely with the help of her friend.

“Ah, hello… Coke…! Coke…!”

Was it excited because it had been a long time since we met?

The dark blue girl seems to have stopped trying to say hello to the boy she loves with strength.

Then, at the sound of her coughing, Allen, who was sitting in the chair, turned to her side.

“Oh, Mirai! I was worried you wouldn’t come out. Are you okay?”
“Coke…! Yes yes…! It’s okay, it’s okay… Cough…!”
“Sit here for a minute. I’ll bring you water.”
“Oh no…! It’s okay, I’m fine now…!”

Looking at Mirai, who says she’s okay with her hand, Allen pulls out the chair next to her and sits Mirai down and pats her on the back.

“Are you okay now?”
“Thank you, Mr. Allen…!”

Perhaps she has calmed down, Mirai catches her breath and greets Allen.

“Are you feeling better now?”
“Ah, yes. You can come out today…”
“I’m glad. The festival is held this time. I know?”
“Ah, yes… My friends and teachers told me about it…”
“Then, do you know about joining the other class?”
“Everything, the other class?”

Before the meal is served, Allen happily talks about what happened with Mirai.

“Yeah, but Mr. Allen…”
“Uh, why?”
“Tall…”
“Ah, I grew taller because I ate and slept well in the past few days. If Mirai lives like me, she will grow up quickly. Oh, you haven’t ordered breakfast yet? Would you like to eat with me?”
“Is that okay…? I just ate Allen-sama’s meal…”
“You just said it. If you live like me, Mirai will grow up quickly. Oh, wait a minute, I’ll get it right away.”
“Yes…”

At the sound of food being served, Allen gets up from her seat.

And…

‘Mirai.’
‘Uh, what? Why, why are you calling me…?’
‘Isn’t it nice to see you after a long time?’
‘Uh, yeah… Good.’
‘So don’t skip class and listen carefully. And if someone is bullying you, just say it. I will send you to the very end of hell.’
‘Thank you Lecane. I’ll work hard…!’

Le Cane was relieved to see the happy Mirai.

It’s more depressing if you’re alone in the room.

At most, Mirai went to the academy on her own, her intentions were disrespectful and pure, but she had no intention of saying anything to Mirai.

Rather…

‘I wonder if I should be thankful to the bastard… Ha.’
‘Uh? What, what are you thankful for, Le Cane?’
‘Like Nompang said, you have to eat well and sleep well to grow up. Understand?’
‘Ah, okay Lecane…! Me, I eat a lot and grow up…! I’ll do my best so that Allen-sama doesn’t think of me as an embarrassing woman…!’

Mirai and Le Cane are surprised to see the plates filling the table one by one while pulling a familiar cart.

“Eh, are you eating this much…?”
“Today is a little on the small side. Come on, eat a lot of Mirai too.”
“Yes, yes…”

‘You’re crazy. If I live with that guy, a year’s worth of food will be like a month’s worth.’

Surprised by the pig-like appetite, Le Cane was drawn to the future where Mirai suffers even if Mirai and Allen continue, even if they suffer from that endless gluttony.

‘Eating that much, but my body shape hasn’t changed. No, did he get bigger because he ate like that in the first place?’

Question.

Looking at Allen who constantly eats, Le Canet reminded her of the past.

‘Warlike mana… Did you sign a contract with the fire lizard bitch? But this is the first time a woman who cares about humans has never seen a human being kept alive for such a long time.’

The energy of an active volcano felt deep within Allen’s body.

‘I’d rather find out secretly. Then…’

Le Canet removed a part of herself and implanted it in Allen’s body so that Allen and Mirai would not notice.

As some of her secretly planted parts slowly melt away and are absorbed into Allen’s body, Le Canet quickly reverts back inside Mirai.

‘If it’s for Mirai, if that bastard is in danger, then…’
