46 – Episode 9. Cherry Blossom Festival.

<9>

Looks like I didn’t get caught stealing or farming.

If you did, you would have used your powers to subdue me right away, you wouldn’t have spoken to me like this.

“Could you show me the invitation?”

Chloe said in a cold voice.

But I can’t.

From noble mtl dot com

The name of the sender as well as the recipient is written on the invitation.

The moment I found out that I was Suisei’s guest, I would be firmly stamped by that Chloe.

I’m sure he’ll try to harass me by meddling in everything.

… This is why I didn’t want to come to Edelweiss Academy.

“Invitation? I left it in the presentation room.”

“Looks like you came from the auditorium. The presentation is starting soon, so why did I come to the main building from the auditorium?”

“To go to the bathroom.”

After saying that, Chloe’s eyebrows twitched.

“Your name?”

“… Byungsik Park.”

Of course, it is out of line to use the name Lee Si-hyeok. This Psycho student council president must have checked the list of who Suisei had invited.

“Byungsik Park.”

Chloe muttered the name over and over again. For a while, silence continued in the hallway-

“There is a restroom near the auditorium, so why did you come all the way to the main building, Mr. Byungsik?”

When Chloe opened her mouth again, her tone was much softer than before. I don’t know why, but it seems like something that upset me has been resolved.

How can I see an angle that can be crossed… ?

“Were you near the auditorium?”

With a look of wonder, Chloe let out a shallow sigh, then turned her head to the side and shouted,

“Oli! Come here!”

The only person Chloe calls Ollie at this Edelweiss Academy is Olivia, the head of the guidance department.

She sees Olivia quite often today. Although she wouldn’t want to see me again in Olivia’s place.

“Did you call? Chairman.”

“Are you sure you said the intruder was a woman?”

It seemed like he was still looking for Tomoe.

When she thought that I was almost caught by that fake ninja, a strange rage surged up.

Tomoe Free Pass. I’ll only use it for things that are grueling.

“I’m not sure, but it was too small for a man’s body. Perhaps it would be better to assume it is a woman and pursue it.”

“… Then it would not be this man.”

“If it’s a man- Hee-ik.”

Olivia finally turned her head towards me, and as soon as she saw my face, she was taken aback.

It seems that the encounter in the men’s bathroom earlier remains as a bad memory.

“Why, Olly?”

“Ah… it’s nothing!”

“It’s not this guy, right?”

Olivia nodded her head desperately. Chloe, who watched her for a while with her strange expression, opened her mouth again with a voice that seemed to have troubled everything.

“Go back to the auditorium with this man and check the invitation. It’s Olly’s turn soon after the recital.”

“But Chairman, we haven’t caught the intruder yet.”

“It’s okay, go.”

Saying that, Chloe raised her hand, and Olivia’s face turned pale, and she waved her hand away hastily.

“Wait a minute, Chairman. At least on my feet-.”

When Chloe snapped her fingers, Olivia’s screaming image disappeared. Chloe turned her gaze towards me this time, and as she slipped up the hem of her skirt, she greeted me gracefully.

“It can make you a little dizzy, so please be careful. Byungsik.”

“Wait a minute—.”

Before I could finish my words, the world strangely distorted.

“—Wait.”

The next moment I was in front of the auditorium entrance.

Instantaneous movement.

A rare ability that allows you to get an A grade even if you can only move your body.

However, Chloe was able to move a target that had not even been touched.

The modifier ‘space’ is attached to the front of the name, so it’s like an S-class talent.

It was the first time in my life that I felt strangely moved by the momentary movement.

“Woo-wook.”

This is a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

I shut my mouth that looked like I was about to vomit at any moment and staggered away.

I need something to hold onto… If it continues like this, a catastrophe will happen here.

Fortunately, the hand that had been wandering around caught something that looked like a hard pillar. I don’t know what’s inside, but it looks like it’s wrapped in something like cloth.

“Haa….Ha….”

“Ooh!”

As I rested my weight on the pillar and took a moment to catch my breath, I finally calmed down. But a woman’s voice, as if holding back nausea, came from the pillar.

If there’s a girl around who’s going to put up with nausea, she’s probably Olivia. But why is the voice coming from the pillar?

With that thought in mind, I raised my head, and the next moment, goose bumps all over my body and the dizziness disappeared at once.

What I was holding was none other than Olivia’s thigh. Thighs that are stiff enough to remind one of a pillar, befitting the setting that he did athletics until middle school.

I hurriedly removed her hand from her thigh and stared blankly at Olivia as she staggered with her upper body bent.

… Get caught

This is 100% caught.

I looked around in panic.

Fortunately, except for Olivia and me, I didn’t even feel the presence of people.

… First off, there are no eyewitnesses. Now, if only Olivia, her party, is somehow persuaded -.

“Over there.”

I called her while imagining her various situations in my head. The moment she stumbles and barely lifts her upper body-

“Uweee)

My ears heard a grotesque sound that didn’t go well with the girl’s school at all.

<10>

In front of the auditorium entrance.

The most awkward silence in the world ensues between Olivia and I, who are seated at both ends of the bench.

The red bob bobbed up and down with a whimper. Olivia held her knees in her arms and she continued to cry.

Since she has shown a side of herself that a weak-willed young lady would never want to show, that reaction is only natural.

“… Stop crying because I’m fine.”

“Heeuk… sorry… sorry.”

I was the one who cleaned up Olivia.

She took her mop from the bathroom and roughly cleaned her floor, then Olivia, who had come to her senses a little, used her powers to burn away all the misery she had done to her.

Including mop, of course.

Olivia has been in this state ever since she managed to wipe her mouth with the tissue I brought.

It’s fortunate that she didn’t notice the injustice I did because of her panic… Should I say

But is it okay to stay like this? I’m still able to afford it, but Olivia won’t.

“Shouldn’t you be entering soon? I heard it earlier, so it seems that it will be your turn soon.”

“That..But..I… hehehehe… hehehehe… “

It seemed like he couldn’t escape the shock.

What is this?

Anyway, I’ll have to check the invitation to clear my doubts. Olivia is unable to do anything but cry.

Um… Wait for a sec.

I thought of an unexpected possibility.

After Lee Si-hyeok emerged as a human rights activist, a more full-scale study was conducted through several more experiments.

As a result of that research, a tactic that uses a passive has been discovered.

Lee Si-hyeok’s passive is to heal one ally’s mental condition at the start of the turn.

However, even when not in combat, if you attack a nearby object with an ability, it will be judged that your turn has started and you will be able to recover the status ailment.

It was a buggy play, so it was patched, but it’s worth a try just in case.

I took out a colorless element and flicked it with my finger. The colorless element hit a nearby street lamp and made a metallic sound.

Olivia jumped up at the sound and raised her head.

“What… something, just that.”

“I’m just bored.”

“… You shouldn’t throw stones just because you’re bored. As a leader, this is unacceptable! … What?”

Olivia screamed and moved her body around with a puzzled look on her face.

Did the tactic work? Or are you just startled by the sound?

I couldn’t be sure as either side had potential.

“Looks like you’ve gotten a little better.”

“… I see.”

Although his expression is still gloomy, he is not in a state of panic like before.

“Then let’s go quickly. You should check my invitation too.”

“Okay. Let’s move.”

Olivia returned to the lead manager’s face and stood up from her bench.

I moved to the box seat where Baekso was waiting. Olivia followed me in a dark atmosphere.

“… Senior? What are you doing so late?”

“I had a little work.”

After whispering the same to Baek So-so, who turned his head and whispered quietly, I counted about 10 seconds and took out the invitation envelope from my chest.

While I was thinking about how to hide my name, Olivia opened the door and pulled me out.

“Ugh, wait a minute.”

“… Has confirmed. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

With that said, Olivia bowed her head politely, then immediately turned around and took her stride away, disappearing from my sight.

After checking her invitation envelope, she seemed satisfied.

Or maybe you don’t want to be with me even a little bit longer after showing such insolence, or there isn’t much time left for the performance.

Well, whatever it is, it’s fortunate for me.

I sighed and went back into the box seat.

“… Who are you out there?”

“I’ll tell you when it’s over.”

Baek So-so in the dark made a puzzled expression, as if he was dissatisfied with my answer, but soon turned his head and began to focus on the stage.

All of the girls at Edelweiss Academy were gifted with fairly high-quality skills.

Most of the performances are followed by unknown faces.

But there were also students I had seen in Legends of Academia, such as Leona, who was moderating, and Olivia, who played the piano with a pale face.

And the final turn.

Suisei, wearing a blue dress, came up to the center of the stage.

Right before the performance started, Suisei glanced over, and Baek Soso waved his hand vigorously and silently.

I also slightly waved my hand in line with that, and Suisei smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

And finally, the performance begins.

As if the usual light voice is a lie, an aria with tremendous volume resonates throughout the auditorium.

“Wow… “

Baeksoso let out a quiet exclamation.

Soprano Aria by Handel, Let Me Cry.

Anyway, the classics of this world seemed to be the same as the world I knew.

But I never imagined hearing this from Suisei’s mouth.

There’s never been a setting like Suisei knowing how to sing in Legends of Academia.

The more you know about this world, the more interesting it is.

Amidst the crowd who were obsessed with the beautiful soprano, I noticed someone taking rough steps. The direction is towards the doorway on the other side of the stage.

Even in the dark, gray hair is familiar.

This is the girl who helped us take pictures after dinner.

But somehow, she was stealing her eyes with her arm.

Are you crying?

I was so impressed?

If not-

“Bravo!”

As soon as the girl left the auditorium, Suisei’s performance ended.

Everyone got up from their seats and started giving a standing ovation.

Amid thunderous applause, my eyes were not on the stage, but on the doorway through which the white-haired girl had passed.

Why are you looking at me like this?

Because he is related to Lee Si-hyuk’s past?

No, then I must have passed out by now.

Then what is this?

I just stared blankly at the doorway until the applause stopped and Baekso poked at my arm.
