Chapter 201 – Reconciliation

Episode 201 – Reconciliation

In the late afternoon, Abel came to see me as I was returning to the dormitory after hard training.

“Luan!”

“Huh? What. “You came at this time.”

“Did you hear the news?”

“What news?”

“Alyssa is getting married tomorrow! Also, I heard the other person is a 60-year-old man? Do you know what happened?”

Abel could not hide his embarrassment.

This is surprising since I had only heard that they were middle-aged nobles.

Also, did you decide to attend the wedding?

Alyssa said she would be invited, but the fact that the invitation did not arrive until the day before her wedding must have added to the confusion.

I guess I thought I might know something, but unfortunately I was wrong.

Because I was intentionally looking away from this incident.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know. “I now know that today is my wedding day.”

“Really? Ugh… “What should I do?”

Abel couldn’t calm down and stamped her feet.

Seeing that makes me a little curious. I wondered if he would do something like that, no matter how close of a friend he was. I know he has a big personality, but he seemed too desperate.

‘Do you like Alyssa by any chance?’

If you think about it, there isn’t much reason for Abel not to like Alyssa.

A lot of events disappeared because of me, but Alyssa was pretty enough to be liked even if nothing special happened.

Maybe that’s why she hasn’t even confessed to Uni until now?

I just can’t stand it.

Let’s ask.

“Abel. “I’m just asking, do you like Alyssa?”

“How should…” Huh? “What?”

“Do you like Alyssa?”

“W-what do you mean? Oh, no!”

Abel is visibly embarrassed.

Seeing him react so violently just makes me more suspicious.

“Really? “I’m too interested to say yes?”

“Well, that’s because we’re friends…”

“Hmm… Okay? Well, if you are, that’s probably it. Anyway, I don’t know anything, so ask someone else.”

“Huh. I guess it has to be that way. Who is there?”

Abel, who was touching her lips as if he was thinking about it, asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“Luan. Deborah knows, right?”

“… Deborah?”

“Huh! I am a disciple of the Lord of the Gray Magic Tower. Wouldn’t it be possible to get a lot of information just from what’s going around around you?”

“… “I guess so.”

Among the wizards, there will be some who have been invited to the wedding, and above all, since this incident is the subject of so much gossip, even unrelated people will be watching with interest.

Moreover, Deborah has a close relationship with Alyssa, so even though she was hurt by me and locked in her room, she would probably have an idea of ​​the general situation.

I clicked my tongue in a bitter feeling.

“Good! I have to go see it right away! Luan, do you want to go with us?”

“No, I have work to do. “Go with the other kids.”

“Okay! See you later!”

Abel rushed out quickly without persuading me, as if there was no time to waste.

I looked at its back until it completely disappeared and then turned my back.

“Let’s eat and then train again.”

There is no time to look away.

*

Early in the morning, a quiet meal was in full swing on the top floor of the Magic Tower.

Roxana chewed and swallowed her bread and looked secretly at the other side.

There, Deborah, with swollen eyes, was glumly munching on her food.

If it were a typical family where people were just meaninglessly rummaging through their food while eating, it would be enough to hit them right in the back.

But Roxana couldn’t even say a word to Deborah.

Because she knew painfully why her beloved student she was like that.

It was in the meantime.

“Well…”

Deborah suddenly frowned and started crying, wondering what the problem was.

She quickly got up from the chair.

“S, Master. Sorry. “I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

“… Huh. Yes.”

Ta-da-da-da-da!

Small water droplets sparkle and scatter behind Deborah as she moves away.

Roxana, left alone, let her sigh.

“Ha… “What should I do?”

She honestly thought that she would get better after being locked in her room for a day or two, but what was this? A week later, Deborah still can’t shake off her grief.

She would stare blankly into space all day, and she would suddenly start crying like she did just now…

Currently, Roxana has been in deep worry for several days.

“Should I just tell you everything?”

The reason why this sad event happened now is because of her deal with Lu An.

If not, wouldn’t Deborah have started dating her Lu An by now and lived her days in happiness?

When she remembers that scene, her heart aches.

She wondered if it was really right for her to make Deborah sad because of her own greed.

Her evaluation of Luan still hasn’t changed.

He is a possessor and a criminal who repeatedly commits rape.

But at the same time, he was a person who cherished Deborah and was even willing to give up on her in order to avoid harming her.

The scales in my heart fluctuate wildly.

‘Is it really best to confide in me? Won’t it lead to an even bigger catastrophe later? What if other people discover that I am possessed? But wouldn’t my power be enough to hide it?’

She continued to think about it by proposing various assumptions and refuting them herself, and eventually made her decision.

“Let’s clarify this first. “I’m apologizing to Deborah.”

Deborah already knows Luan’s identity.

How can you forcibly separate a heart that loves you so much even though you know it?

If things continued like this, I might get lovesickness and suffer every day until I passed out.

Just as she was about to make her decision, Deborah appeared, her eyes even more swollen.

“Sorry. It took too long, right? The rice must have all cooled down.”

Deborah forces herself to smile and tell a joke.

Seeing that pitiful sight, Roxana erased even her last hesitation and began to speak.

“Deborah. “I have something important to say.”

“Yes? “What have you got to say?”

“Huh. “It also has to do with the reason you’re sad right now.”

Deborah’s eyes widened.

She was startled and confused, but she quickly nodded her head as if it was obvious.

“Did you hear it from Luan?”

“Huh. “I heard you confess?”

“… Yes. “I’m sorry.”

Deborah shrunk even more.

Roxana, who tried to add her words lightly, became more cautious about such actions.

“No. What is there to be sorry about? “You can confess.”

“… “Master, everything is okay?”

“Me? I’m fine. “There is nothing bad about it in the first place.”

Roxana lightly shrugged her shoulders.

She could never have imagined that Deborah would mistake her and Lu Ann for her lovers.

To Deborah, her words she felt nothing but consideration. Her eyes, which had barely dried, became moist again.

“Hey… I’m a teacher…”

“Why, why are you crying? Stop! Huh? Stop!”

“Huh…Sorry! Haaaaa!”

Deborah was immediately held in Roxana’s arms.

Roxana patted Deborah on the back, sweating heavily at her sudden loud wailing.

“Deborah. Are you okay. So don’t cry. Huh?”

“Uuuuu… Sorry! I did that on purpose! She knew that Master and Lu An were meeting, but she deliberately pretended not to know! Then, even if you confess, you can pass it off as an incident! She acted cowardly because she had nothing to lose! Really sorry! Wow!”

Deborah confessed her true feelings and asked for her forgiveness.

Roxana was truly embarrassed.

‘What does this mean?’

She clearly heard it with her ears, but her brain refused to understand what it meant.

In the end, after carefully interpreting her words, Roxana realized one thing.

‘You’re misunderstanding!’

I don’t know the exact reason, but Deborah guessed that she had some kind of relationship with Lu An.

Where should I start explaining?

Roxana, who was worried, first calmed down Deborah, who was about to lose her breath.

“Deborah! “Would you please listen to me first?”

“Sorry! Sorry! Haaaaa!”

“Well, that’s not it! Luan and I have nothing to do with each other! “You’re misunderstanding!”

The moment the shout spread, Deborah stopped.

Not only did my body stop, but even the tears that had been running down my cheeks like a highway stopped.

Deborah raised her head.

“… Well, what do you mean? Are we not in a relationship? Are you really doing this because of me? Are you trying to give up Luan? Hehe… I’m a teacher…”

However, she arbitrarily misinterpreted Roxana’s words and cried again.

Roxana frowned.

At this point, it’s time for her to start to understand, but the usually smart student only chooses to do stupid things.

More than anything, she was dissatisfied with the fact that she was misunderstood as having such a relationship with Lu An.

She shouted bitterly.

“I said no! Why don’t you listen to me like this? Me and Luan have nothing to do with each other! You’re misunderstanding! Do you understand?”

“… Really?”

“Okay! “I really don’t know why there was such a misunderstanding.”

When Roxana became truly angry, only then did Deborah break free from the swamp of misunderstanding and face reality.

She pouted her mouth as if she was being wronged.

“But Master had a date with Luan at the festival.”

“Date? No, that’s… But how did you know it was me? He must have been in disguise.”

“Even though their faces are different, their behavior is the same? There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize you, Master.”

“Oh my? I see…”

Roxana was slightly touched by the deep understanding of not only her exterior her but also her interior her.

But the conversation is not over yet.

“Master. “You really have nothing to do with Luan, right?”

“I told you so.”

“Then what is the recording chip that Luan gave you last time? When I played it back, it made a groaning sound.”

“Yes? Moan? Ah! That? What noise do you make when you do yoga? But did you see the screen?”

“Yes. At that time, the screen in the audiovisual room was broken. But it was like that. It was yoga…”

Deborah looked a little disappointed.

She felt guilty that she had betrayed her Master her just by not giving up her love for Luan, but she knew it was all an illusion.

As she sighed softly, Roxana spoke carefully.

“But Deborah. Is there something more important to talk about besides this?”

“Is it important?”

“Huh. Actually… After saving him from the stadium…”

Roxana relayed every detail of her dealings with Lu An in her lab.

Deborah was puzzled at first, but as she continued speaking, her expression changed moment by moment, and at the end, her mouth fell out.

She cried and glared at Roxana.

“I hate you, Master.”

“Ugh! I’m sorry. I didn’t know you liked him this much. I thought I would forget it soon…”

“Don’t make excuses.”

“Yes. “I’m sorry.”

Roxana lowered her head.

She caused her to misunderstand with her pointless actions of her, causing her to suffer and also caused her great hurt, so there is no way she would be ashamed to look at her.

Her respect as a teacher is beyond words.

Deborah was silent for a moment as if she was taking stock of the situation, and then she asked,

“Anyway, Master, what you’re saying is that Luan doesn’t hate me?”

“Huh. Yes. Rather, it’s the opposite. I pushed you away because I wanted to protect you because you were so precious to me. “I don’t know what I heard, but it probably wasn’t sincere.”

“Luan made me…” ” ” .”

When I gave her assurance, Deborah’s cheeks turned red.

She immediately stood up with eyes full of determination.

“Master. You definitely said that Alyssa’s wedding would be held at lunch, right?”

“Huh? Oh, right? “I heard it will be held at Count Gheto’s Naone estate?”

“… Good. Then I’ll come meet Luan. “I might not be able to come in today!”

Deborah confidently declares that she will spend the night with a man outside of her home. Roxana belatedly acknowledged that her student had grown up.

“Do whatever you want. Instead, should you use contraception properly?”

“Well, are you still doing that?”

“Okay? I’m glad. Hurry up and go. Luan will be waiting too.”

“Yes! “I’ll be back!”

Deborah quickly ran outside without even wiping away her tear stains.

Roxana smiled as she looked at her back.

“You are young. It’s youth.”

It seemed like spring came too quickly this year.
