49. At the forefront where vicious rumors circulate (2)

“How are the students feeling?”

“There are no children in my class who have lost their families, but unfortunately, the situation in other classes is different. Everyone is sad. A lot of kids are scared.”

Most of my brothers and sisters of my average age would have been soldiers.

And while there may be people who are lucky enough to survive this disaster, there are also people who are not.

“It must be the atmosphere of a mourning house.”

“There are surprisingly many students who have actually returned to their families.”

You will return to the family for the funeral and then return to the academy when it is over.

However, it was unclear whether the returning students would be as motivated as before.

Didn’t your family die in the army?

‘You’ll be afraid. He wouldn’t want to die.’

Everyone is like that. Because it’s natural to want to live rather than want to die.

“Your heart must be complicated.”

“The pollution has started moving again. According to a source from the family, the military enlistment time will be extended again.”

“The reservists will be called back soon.”

“It happened so suddenly that I feel like I’m in a hurry.”

“how about you?”

Perhaps the riders who have to fight the hardest against the threat of contamination are the students of Shine and similar riders.

He is expected to graduate soon and enlist in the military.

As in the past, the enormous wealth and human resources required to prevent pollution are beyond imagination.

It means that the dying people will start piling up again.

“I will have to enlist soon, aren’t you worried?”

“I am worried. I am a human too, how could I not?”

Shine is unexpectedly obedient and tells me that she is worried.

“But fear fear fear? Well, rather than those feelings, I have more thoughts of wanting to go to the field and show off my skills.”

“Are you serious? I’m sure no one your age would want to enlist.”

“no. I’m not the only one who thinks this way, all the kids in my class think the same way as me. Since childhood, we have been told by our parents what kind of duties we have. What I’m afraid of is the back drum.”

It was more dignified and calm than I thought.

It would have been nice if other students had followed this attitude.

Reality won’t be so rosy.

“Oh, speaking of classmates, there is a friend in my class who is being bullied.”

“Bullying in Class A? I don’t think it will be easy. Isn’t he bullying you in reverse?”

“hmm… His personality was very gentle and kind. It might look a little gloomy. At least it didn’t seem like I hated dating people.”

“But why is he suddenly?”

“I don’t know how I should treat him.”

“You don’t want to be close to him, but don’t you feel bad about ignoring him because he seems to be sympathetic to bullying?”

“Keuk…should I say that? I don’t know my feelings either. I don’t want to see anyone being bullied…but that would be a bit difficult to talk to.”

Just as there is a saying that all people’s lives are similar, what happens in class is bound to be similar.

It’s okay to watch being bullied, but it seemed that he was reluctant to step forward and build friendships.

“No matter how much you think about it, isn’t this something you’d like to discuss with the general store guy?”

“Ah, I just want to listen. Who asked you to tell me how to solve it?”

Just then, the door to the general store suddenly opened.

Shine stopped talking as if she thought she had a customer, but I knew that our general store never had customers, so I checked to see who had come.

I opened the door and confirmed the identity of the guest who came in, and I thought it was okay.

Even if it wasn’t so, one day the two of them tried to introduce themselves.

We met by chance, so I thought we should introduce each other and get to know each other.

“mister… uh? sorry. You have guests.”

“no. come in. A long time?”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you sooner. There were some circumstances.”

“You must have been busy, so I understand.”

There would have been a lot of work to do.

The biggest thing would have been to organize the church, but I was very curious to see if this had been resolved.

However, in Shine’s presence, he couldn’t ask that question.

“Looking at your face, you seem to be doing well.”

The child’s condition was not very good, but now it seemed that he was eating well.

“Thanks to you, uncle. be my benefactor thank you.”

Someone will notice.

Of course, Fran was the person who opened the door of the general store and entered.

It was the first time I had seen it since I borrowed the holy relic from me.

Seeing that they appeared safely like this, it seems that they succeeded in taking control of the church using the holy relic.

‘I’m very curious about what happened with the religious leader.’

If it was the Fran I knew, I don’t think I would have made the choice to kill the religious leader.

However, it would have been blocked from working externally.

I was thinking of asking later how strong the range of activity was.

“It just went well. I had a friend to introduce you to.”

“yes? friend? to me?”

I wonder if it’s something to be so embarrassed about introducing me to, but I’m surprised when Shine suddenly points a finger at Fran.

“you!”

“!!”

Shine was the first to be surprised, but the surprise passed on to Fran as if it were contagious.

The two seem to know each other.

There was no need for me to introduce the two of them separately in the first place.

“What, do you two know each other?”

“How does the uncle know him?”

“How do you know? just know It’s a general store, here.”

A place where anyone can come in.

Isn’t that what a general store is?

“How do you two know?”

“uh… ”

“hmm… .”

Even though they pretended to know each other, when they asked how they knew each other, they turned around.

“What the hell is it?”

From noble mtl dot com

Not knowing what was going on, I just shrugged my shoulders.

* * *

“Were you the bully?”

“yes?!”

“Ah, mister!”

Was it a shock to ask if I was being bullied so openly?

Shine and Fran’s eyes shake violently.

“Well, it’s even weirder that a pseudo-bi makes friends.”

“that is… .”

“Uncle…!!”

“At least I thought I was doing well in the academy, but I was being bullied for having that ability? Did you propagate them?”

“… … .”

Seeing that he couldn’t answer, it was clear that he had hit the mark.

“In common sense, who would make a good friend for a pseudo-proselytist?”

“Hey.”

“Your uncle said something… I think he might get hurt.”

Shine fidgets and rolls her eyes.

But I had no intention of picking out words.

To be honest, I think this was a very soft way to talk.

“If you had any intention of making friends, at least you shouldn’t have spread the word. Put your hand on your chest and say Don’t you think so?”

“Hmmm.”

When I asked while looking at Shine, he couldn’t answer.

I don’t think you can deny my words.

“Look, he can’t bear to protect you either. Aren’t you scum who gets angry when your mistakes are pointed out?”

“…yes.”

If Fran had ears, he’d probably be droopy by now.

“You didn’t even think about fixing it because your academy life was already ruined, right? Thinking that you’re just going to break up after graduating and enlisting.”

“Uncle… .”

“But will enlisting make a difference? You’re not going to proselytize just because you’re enlisting?”

“Our church is a good place… .”

Frank’s timid defiance.

As I expected, it was clear that he would not stop his missionary activities even if he enlisted.

And I don’t know yet, but the missionary work will be quite effective.

‘It’s strange that he doesn’t follow when he’s raising a person on the brink of death.’

But that hasn’t happened yet.

I thought I should give Fran a proper warning when I was feeling down.

It is necessary to know that one’s own propagation activities can cause a nuisance to others.

For an ordinary person, it is natural that the word pseudo is alien and repulsive.

At that time, Shine spoke to Fran for the first time.

“It’s not good to force someone to like something when they say they don’t like it.”

“yes?”

The barrier to entry is pseudoscience.

If I had been Shine, I wouldn’t have wanted to interfere, no matter how much Fran knew me.

However, as if Shine had already come to me for counseling, she was interested in Fran, who was being bullied in class.

Didn’t you say you didn’t know how to treat her?

‘Let’s put the two together at this point.’

Meanwhile, the two were having a serious conversation.

“Eh, I’ll say everything I want to say coolly in the midst of this. Do you know why the kids are repulsed by you?”

“Ummm…maybe I was just uncomfortable with it?”

“There’s nothing embarrassing about it! You idiot. It’s because when you talk to him, he only talks about the church.”

“Ah… I’m also in the church?”

“No no! That’s not it, he didn’t talk because he was interested in the church, but because he was interested in you, but you only wanted to talk about the church, so the kids started to be reluctant.”

Frank hadn’t thought of it that way.

“You’re interested in me…? I never thought of that.”

Fran’s head was full of religious orders, so he didn’t seem to know that there could be people who were interested in him.

“Isn’t it obvious? Besides, you’re in therapy. It’s normal that there are so many kids who want to get along.”

“I didn’t expect that…”

Listening to what Shine had to say, I could see that he was more interested in Fran than expected.

Doesn’t the fact that he knew such things mean that he himself went to find out about Fran’s situation?

match!

“good.”

“??”

“??”

I mate with applause! When I did, they both looked at me.

“Since it happened like this, how about the two of you getting along?”

“yes?”

“Eh?”

“Even though he belongs to a pseudo-church, he belongs to a healing class. It would be good if you made a connection like this.

When out on the field, Fran will use her abilities to save someone’s life, and she will be protected by soldiers like Shine.

Shine’s situation is not much different.

Injuries were unavoidable when playing in a polluted area.

So if you build friendships with talented people in advance, it will be good for each other.
