40 – String (6)

From the next day, when the students in the class seemed to be dragging Ellie around, their perception of me gradually began to decline, as was originally intended.

Ellie was surprisingly good at acting. For example, she couldn’t look me in the eyes properly, or when I got close to her, she trembled and became anxious.

The acting was so realistic that even I sometimes wondered if Ellie was really feeling that way.

… Could it be that the crying at the cafe was acting? probably not I hope people go that far…

Anyway, through the student council at the right time, through the mouth of a student who recognized what I had done, my past evil deeds became known in detail within Class D as time passed.

Now, the numerous students who were trying to talk to me disappeared somewhere, leaving only contempt on their faces.

Some female students licked their lips as if they were sorry, but…

If there was something unexpected, it was that even though Ellie must have heard the rumors, her attitude towards me was not much different from before.

Sometimes, I even felt better.

And there was one thing that Ellie lied to me. Contrary to what she said earlier that she had no friends, the people she got along with more than I thought… No, that’s a lot.

Seeing Ellie’s stunned appearance, they shuddered whenever they saw me, and in the end, someone from the guidance department came to investigate three or four times to see if someone had filed an accusation against the student council.

However, there was no way Ellie would reveal my fault with her own words, so the investigation was all over, and her friends were now just staring at us from afar with pitiful expressions.

One day when I continued my academy life day by day.

Another unexpected encounter came to me.

***

Since Edwin’s suspension, Iris has spent her days trying to find something else to keep her occupied.

The two months without him were just a series of peaceful days.

The last meeting with him was so disastrous that I still sometimes think about it, but the engagement was broken anyway, and I got a chance to live a new life by cutting off my long relationship with him.

As the news of her spread to the social world, matchmakers flocked to her family like a cloud, and male students who personally applied for dating came to her every other day, but Iris refused all of them because she did not want to break the peace. abandoned

Having passed those noisy days, it was only recently that Iris felt that she had regained some degree of peace of mind and body.

But lately, Iris wasn’t very good at planting.

This is because, as soon as Edwin returned to school, his name began to be heard from all over the place.

There are even rumors that he touched a woman this time.

He chose a commoner female student from the same class and made him follow him all day long as if he were tied to a leash.

No matter how meticulously the work was conceived, even when the people of the leadership team visit, the victim, the girl, never opens her mouth, so they say that they are having difficulty securing evidence.

What kind of bad humanity is that?

During my suspension, I thought for a moment that I might have changed a bit, but being a person can’t change that easily.

Compared to that… No, let’s stop. No matter who he brings, Edwin cannot dare to compare them.

Anyway, it was really coincidence that I ran into Edwin in the park at the academy while I was calming my anxiety.

At first, he didn’t recognize him at all, but it was only when he saw the reactions of the people around him and the schoolgirl who followed him like a shadow that he knew it was Edwin.

Iris was momentarily taken aback by the changed appearance of him, but she was able to gather her mind at the thought that Edwin would still be the same rotten inside.

“… Edwin.”

“… Iris.”

The first to speak was himself.

And when he said hello, Edwin also reluctantly nodded and accepted it casually.

As soon as the formal greetings were over, Iris poured out her business to Edwin.

“Edwin, judging from how you’re doing, it seems you still haven’t expressed any remorse. Don’t you feel sorry for the person standing behind you now? If there’s even a little bit of compassion left, right now… ”

“Oh, that is noisy. Iris, I wondered if there was a sudden gust of wind that made me stop. Was that just to nag you? I must have told you when I broke up. A woman who talks a lot is not popular.”

“Edwin!! You really!”

“it’s okay. stop, stop.”

Edwin cut off his words in the middle of crying and screaming, and waved his hands as if he was annoyed.

“And I told you. I like obedient women. Unlike you, does he listen to anything I say?”

“What’s wrong?!”

Scared to finish speaking, Edwin suddenly reached out and brought it to the girl standing behind him.

Then he seemed to put his right hand on the girl’s shoulder, and in an instant wrapped his arms around her and pulled her toward himself.

Now the girl’s posture has changed, as if she has been snuggled into Edwin’s arms.

“Eww… ”

However, despite Edwin’s sudden teasing, the female student was unable to resist him in any way.

The girl’s face turned red like a carrot, and she let out only a thin moan from her mouth, surrendering herself to Edwin.

“Whoops, whoops, that… stop… ”

oh my god…

How harsh he had been to her in the meantime, could he only show that level of reaction to such a terrible tease?

Since the female student was clearly a commoner, did he even threaten her based on her background?

“Edwin!! Stop right now and put your hands down!”

When he couldn’t stand it any longer and shouted, Edwin released his arm from the girl.

Edwin seemed dazed for a moment, but soon came to his senses and returned to the mean-smiling idiot he knew.

“… So, you are still I heard that you’ve been hanging out with a commoner named Eugene these days, but even a commoner will quickly get tired of a woman who is too chaste.”

“Ha, Edwin. Do you really think everyone in the world is an idiot like you? You, who are only nobles in the shell… “

“… it’s okay. Not fun. Ellie, come this way. let’s go.”

Edwin put on a tired expression at his last words, and immediately left in the opposite direction from where he was standing.

‘I can’t… That child somehow… ?’

Iris, too, was about to step out of the spot, but a thought flashed through her mind.

Edwin headed toward the remote garden in the park.

The exit is not in that direction, so why did Edwin lead the female student that way?

From noble mtl dot com

Edwin had no qualms about touching and teasing the girl’s body even in front of him.

You can’t even predict what terrible things he will force her to do, much less in a deserted place.

However, time is too short to go call the others now.

I don’t know what Edwin will do in the meantime.

Even though he was not a leader, he himself, as a member of the student council, had the duty to protect the same students.

In the end, Iris decided that she had no choice but to move on her own, and began to carefully follow Edwin’s trail.

After about 10 minutes, Iris was finally able to spot Edwin and the girl from a distance.

In order to prevent being caught, Iris hid herself, and soon succeeded in approaching the distance where they could hear the two talking to each other.

And if Edwin is forcing him to do something heinous like he expected, the moment Iris was determined to intervene right away…

‘this… what… ?’

What was unfolding there was a conversation that was completely unexpected for Iris.

***

“sorry… Ellie, I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I did that either. I’m really sorry… ”

I am now sitting in front of Ellie almost on my knees.

And with his mouth, he is endlessly repeating only the words containing an apology.

Ellie’s face was still red, and she hung her head down and just fell silent.

‘I’m really going crazy… ‘Why did you suddenly do that?’

Meeting Iris was truly accidental.

One day, Ellie asked me to take a walk in the park with her after lunch, and since it wasn’t a big deal, I readily accepted the request.

And going for a walk in the park like that became our daily routine before we knew it.

But how did he meet Iris in that large park?

The park of the academy is a park, and if you go deep into it, there are various mazes, traps, and even rumors that there is a tree that eats people somewhere.

But in such a large place…

But aside from Iris, the real problem was what happened right after that.

As Iris gave another round of admonitions, an unknown feeling of rebellion welled up in his heart, and the thought of her being with Eugene again made his judgment very twisted.

Captured by the strange grumpy feeling that arose that way, he impulsively pulls Ellie… He had done the same thing before.

He was able to regain his senses after hearing the voice Iris had spoken to him, and it had just happened that he managed to get back to where he was and brought Ellie here.

I looked at Ellie again.

Ellie still lowered her head, just remaining silent.

This is clearly my fault. How on earth am I supposed to apologize? No, it’s something that can be resolved with an apology… ? Should I stop hanging out with Ellie now… ?

While she was desperately shaking her head, Ellie finally opened her mouth after a long silence.

“… good?”

“what? I’m sorry, Ellie. I’ll tell you one more time… ”

“… Hugging like that… Are you good… Even when I first saw it… ”

what? Did I hear wrong… But fortunately, judging from the way he speaks, he doesn’t seem angry…

“If you want to do it, you can do it, but… I was a bit surprised earlier… Suddenly, so… Can’t I tell you in advance next time…?”

“Uh, uh? No, Ellie. I’ll never do that again…”

“…okay, fool…I’ll just take care of it…”

“uh?”

On this day, I pondered over Ellie’s unknown words for a long time.

This is Iris.

I really liked it because it seemed to express the cold impression I had in mind.

My heart is warm.
