My Childhood Friend Who Dumped Me and My Ex-girlfriend Are in the Same Class

238 – Crossing (5)

#6

Ah, did I just ask… ?

The air between us froze to the point where I inadvertently thought that.

From the standpoint of the other kids, you might feel like ‘what is he talking about all of a sudden?’. Representatively, Rubia’s expression was like that. He didn’t even understand the intent of my question. She had her mouth slightly open with a fierce face.

“Uh… What are you talking about? What is Stella hiding from us?”

However, as I slowly meditate on the meaning, I gradually realize the weight of the meaning of my words.

Stella is hiding something from us. Because of that, I might leave the frontier tomorrow….

It is an absurd story just to hear. No one will believe Such sudden, absurd words that are close to slander. Even if it was treated as a bad joke, it was not unreasonable.

“Leaving? Here? … Why?”

… But, what if that statement is true?

How will things go then?

“Hey, Ms. Rubia. What are you looking at? I haven’t said anything yet… ?”

If someone pours cold water on a party that was thought to be all about laughing and having fun, the atmosphere will of course go downhill.

“But, it doesn’t sound like you’re kidding…. Ezio didn’t ask that question for some reason… ? … Oh, or just what? I’m not sure. Which one… ? … Stella, isn’t it?”

Assuming what I’m saying is true, thinking about what will happen tomorrow… It was such a demand for denial. Because that should never happen.

“Ha ha.”

Stella drooped her shoulders.

“There are many things I want to say… First, let me ask you why.”

With a face as if looking at something pitiful, Stella continued her words.

“Why did you think that?”

“… ….”

Why did you think that?

About this….

“… Persimmon?”

“… Yeah?”

Persimmon.

It just feels like that.

Was the only answer I could give.

“Persimmon?”

“Yes.”

Stella’s expression became even more bizarre, as if my reconfirmed positivity was truly absurd.

… It’s quite refreshing to see Stella look at you like that. It was so strange that she felt despised, as if she were looking at anything beneath the creatures.

“There’s something strange about you these days. Even now. It must be said that she was like a person going far away….”

“… Surely, is that all?”

I nodded my head.

“Yes. That’s all.”

“… ….”

“Isn’t it? Are you hiding anything from us?”

What can I say? In life, there are times when the feeling comes out. Something like an ominous feeling that something is about to happen, something you must buy…. No, this is a bit different. Anyway.

It was the same even now. I got an unknown feeling. It is what is commonly called intuition and foreboding. I don’t trust it very much, but it’s a feeling that unexpectedly fits. Anyway, it felt like there was no harm in trying.

If it’s not, then it’s not, and if it’s right….

“No.”

Stella sighed.

“I have something to hide. Besides, if it was that important, I would have told you about it a long time ago. We are friends. Isn’t it?”

“Um….”

Well, it was an answer I didn’t particularly trust. Right now, isn’t our past the secret among secrets? Of course, there are various interests intertwined….

Anyway, I can’t bring that up here. With half faith and half doubt, I listened to Stella’s Riverside over and over again.

“…… I just genuinely wanted to play with you guys. Can’t we? Sometimes, I also wanted to do something like this.”

“Your face looks like it would only be today.”

“Yeah, it only makes sense tonight. Didn’t I already tell you? It is the last day of the festival, and it is a day worthy of blessing.”

“… Is it?”

“Yes, that is it. So let’s stop talking about this…. What are you going to do with this atmosphere? It was such a pleasant day. Ezio looks like he’s ruining everything. Please take responsibility and play with me.”

Why is the conclusion like that?

“Anyway, you’re hiding nothing, and you’re not leaving here tomorrow, are you?”

“… Yes. First of all, if you want to leave the company, you need time to organize your stuff, right? Since then, it has only been one day since I returned to the dormitory. Even in terms of time, it would be unreasonable to leave tomorrow.”

“Not tomorrow, but later?”

“… No matter what happens, I will not drop out. OK?”

“I didn’t even talk about dropping out.”

“Isn’t that what you meant?”

“… Well, it was similar.”

“That’s right.”

Stella looks at me as if reprimanding me.

“So, what are you going to do? Mr. Ezio.”

“Um… ….”

Are you going to play together or not?

“It’s kind of like that now. I have work to do.”

“…… What to do?”

I haven’t done enough exercise yet.

… That is half a joke.

“Yes. Let’s play later What would we do if the three of us got together? It is meaningful to attend all of these things together. The kids are tired, and they say that glass isn’t good enough. Even if it’s not now, isn’t there an opportunity anytime?”

“… I can’t help it. I see.”

She seemed to have a lot to say, but after looking around her, Stella gave up.

“Instead, we will definitely get together later. Mu too. Got it?”

“… Why me?”

Myu, whose name was suddenly called, frowned.

“Why? Of course Mu has to attend. Enjoy the festival together, and do so many things together-“

“I hate it. Make you uncomfortable They’re not even friends, so what am I doing between you guys?”

“… ….”

Stella closed her mouth in a determined fight.

It was Yuri who responded.

“A friend… No… ?”

A face that was shocked as if it had been struck by lightning. Yuri, who was hardened like a mangbu stone, swallowed her saliva and looked back at Mew.

“Yes. By the way?”

“… ….”

When the cold answer came back, Yuri continued her words with a sledgehammer.

“Ooh, we liked it. Music. Isn’t that enough to be friends? I-I was the only one who thought so… ?”

… Not a broken up lover. Is it even necessary to look at it so sadly? It was such a pitiful expression that I could feel pity at first glance.

She thought she was a close friend, but she felt betrayed when she wasn’t. You know well I’ve been through this once before….

However, Mew crossed her arms with her snort,

“Why am I your friend? Without Ezio, I wouldn’t have gone out with you guys.”

“… ….”

“I am comfortable walking alone. I’m not looking at you badly, I just mean it…. So, I hope you don’t misunderstand at will. To be honest, I felt uncomfortable going around with you guys.”

… Like this trouble maker.

Yuri, shocked by the secondary, left her mouth open and she was speechless. Because of her loneliness, as she was a guy who was hungry for friends of the same sex, the size of her sense of betrayal must have multiplied.

Actually, does she know that she is wrong from expecting something from Mew? I don’t know, so maybe she’s just expecting it and getting hurt….

“Until there-“

“Well, what about that guy? What about him? What is he Am I not as good as that guy as a friend?”

As I was about to announce the disbandment, Yuri suddenly pointed at me and said.

Suddenly, with an unfair mind, I asked back.

“Hey, why are you talking about me?”

“You be quiet! I didn’t ask you!”

Uh, yes….

Maybe it’s because it’s night. Is it because you just woke up? As if her sensitivity had been enriched, Yuri’s eyes became moist as she continued to speak in the quiet air.

… No, please Are you really crying? Isn’t it? Are you just a little bit emotional?

“I tried my best to treat you well….”

“That is none of my business.”

Mu let out a sigh.

“Honestly, we don’t even see each other face-to-face, right? Even though we only played together for a day. But if we were to become close friends, everyone in the world would be friends. And above all… You are too childish.”

“-!”

Yumma… !

You’re outrageous!

“Besides, I don’t like how Ezio treats you carelessly. Are you saying that friends discriminate against each other? And let me tell you, Ezio and I are pretty special. That’s why it makes me feel bad when someone criticizes and ignores her.”

“… ….”

“Do you get the rough idea? Seriously, I don’t even know these basic manners, so what?”

Aside from the extremes of unkindness and negligence brazenly mentioning manners.

“Now, stop! It’s okay, let’s break up for now!”

Even Rubia, who had been staring at Mew, was on the verge of stepping out, so she quickly ventilated her mood as she wanted things to turn bad.

“Uh, ooh… ….”

Yuri is really going to cry like that. The fact that her eyes were wide open and she was biting her lips was like she would shed tears like chicken droppings if she cried even once more.

“You go in first. I’m going to scold him and send him back. Yes?”

I grabbed Mew’s shoulder tightly and said that, Mew twisted her eyebrows and tried to shake off my hand.

“… Hey, what did I do wrong?”

After ignoring it.

“Quickly, huh? Get in quick hurry.”

“… ….”

In the end, Rubia, who held her head down with her firm expression, patted her glass on the back and turned around behind her.

“… Good job. See you tomorrow, Ezio.”

“Uh, see you tomorrow. Stella, you too.”

“… ….”

Stella, who had summoned them by her own will, had a very dissatisfied face. It seems that she did not like being scattered in this way. However, as if she had no choice, she followed Rubia and Yuri as she turned around.

“If you stay like that for the rest of your life, even Ezio will hate you.”

“… What?”

She let out those words in passing, smiled and headed towards her dormitory building.

“See you tomorrow, Ezio. Music. Sleep well.”

Myu, who followed Stella’s fluttering clothes with her eyes, twisted the corner of her mouth.

“Ha, what are you talking about? I used to be better than I am now.”

“… ….”

“Right, edge-evil! No, why- Ah! What, what! Why hit! Why are you hitting me!”

“Whew.”

One honey chestnut was not enough, so I hit two. Myu, who covered his forehead, was angry, but the more he did, the more he looked pathetic.

… After that, after explaining the 30 reasons why you should be close to someone close to Mew, who was unhappy, I was able to return to my room only after sending Mew back, who still looked unconvinced.

#7

At dawn the next day.

“Oh, the 10th kid come soon.”

“… Why are you swearing all of a sudden?”

I was getting ready to work out for my routine, and Gabriel burst out of the door and put a headlock on my neck. It’s been a while for something this guy

Gabriel, whose expression suddenly became serious,

“Someone is messing around with sweaty boys, but you bastard enjoyed your pink youth while hahahaha with women, so what is this if not a 10-year-old? Or what should I call you? This is also refined as much as possible, so please recommend it.”

“No way, something I didn’t see during the festival….”

“Shut up before you shut up.”

Awesome.

Gabriel’s headlock clenched his teeth seemed to be stronger than before.

Great. You trained hard….

“Was it fun? It was fun? It must have been fun. It’s got to be fun. I hate you Hateful. Ezio. Most of the girls in your class were snatched away by you, and the rest are either invisible or completely blank. Seniors are all in pairs… So where do people like me find a mate? Does this make sense?”

“… It doesn’t have to be here. Do you have any friends in other classes?”

“Friends? There is They are all men.”

Um.

What….

“Yes. Cheer up.”

“Baby. Leave only one! Enough already! Why are you trying to eat alone!”

“… Are you crazy These are my decent friends. Don’t talk like that.”

People are not food.

Unlocking his headlock, he slashed his arm and fired at him coldly, and Gabriel scratched the back of his neck embarrassingly.

“… No, what I was embarrassed and embarrassed, so I played a little joke. I’m sorry if you felt bad…. But, to be honest, it’s embarrassing, isn’t it? I couldn’t even enjoy it properly, but the incident happened and it ended. Like a dog.”

It’s not an opportunity that comes every day, so it might be regrettable. Still, what I just said was over the line. I pat him on the back and open my mouth.

“I understand, but you have to change your mindset and tone. It’s obvious that he goes around thinking about catching girls on a fictitious day. So, will girls like you?”

“… My father said that honest and honest people are the best.”

“There is a degree to everything. You have gone far beyond the limit.”

“… Oh, I don’t know. Bastard. I take care of my front. If I keep talking about this, I’ll only get depressed, so let’s talk about something else.”

As I stepped out of the dormitory, Gabriel followed me. Gabriel put his clasped hands on the back of his head and whistled boredly.

“Hi, what kind of fuss is this? Actually, when I experienced it myself, it was no joke. Wasn’t the cost foolish? Are all demons so sly and strong?”

… From what I’ve heard, it seems that even hiding the fact that the series of incidents were the work of the devil was a failure. It seems to be going around as a public fact. Well, there’s no way you can dismiss those worrisome things that happened on a large scale as simple accidents.

“That’s probably why he survived. Even though the war is over.”

“That’s right. What is the empire doing? Don’t mess with the devils. I don’t know if there will be a lockdown soon….”

It’s not just an unrealistic family, so it was a statement that felt a little bit of a crisis from my point of view.

“Moreover… Well, first of all, because it worked out. They say he killed the devil too. Frontier will also return to its original state after the partial restoration work. Just like last time It’s not something that students like us care about more than anything. Is not it?”

It was difficult for me to agree, so I only shrugged my shoulders lightly as an answer.

… Well, is it really that easy? I didn’t know that this time, it might bring about a different ripple effect. It was certain that sooner or later, something big would change in the Frontier. At least my senses were saying that.

“Ah, that’s right-.”

I was about to tell Gabriel to go away if you are not going to exercise.

“Did you hear this?”

“… What are you talking about?”

I blinked.

“Who are you, sophomore? I heard that one senior there dropped out.”

“… What? Really?”

“Oh, he packed up and left yesterday.”

Withdrawal?

This is quite rare in the Epic class. What do you mean by dropping out because you regret it? Of course, there must have been a reason why I had to drop out….

“Why did you drop out?”

“I don’t know. How do i know I just know that I dropped out.”

You look like a useless guy.

What do you know?

“… How strange are your eyes?”

“No, what is that senior’s name?”

“… Ok? Name?”

I nodded.

“Name? … What was it?”

Gabriel contemplated intently, the bridge of her nose crinkling.

“What was it like… is not it? Is it Kane? I don’t know, if I grab someone from my second year senior and ask them later, they’ll know.”

What are you doing?

And a second year senior.

‘…… No way.’

Somehow.

There was one person that popped into my head, and I got serious.

#8

“The dean.”

District 2 Epic Class.

A daytime in the dean’s office.

“This is the requested progress report.”

The dean’s secretary knocked and entered, tapping her high-heeled shoes and putting a stack of papers down on the table.

“Good job. Now go and rest.”

“… I, the dean.”

“Huh?”

The dean was caressing the crystal ball on the tabletop with his chin languidly resting. As if it were some kind of treasure, with a loving touch.

The secretary pauses for a moment before speaking.

“The President of the Student Council is requesting a meeting with the Dean. What should I do?”

“Hmm.”

The dean pretended to be worried. Then she rolled her eyes and looked at the secretary.

The secretary made eye contact with the dean, and did her best not to avert her gaze as much as possible. But the fingers and toes trembled slightly. As if that effort was imaginary, the dean smiled softly.

“I don’t think there will be enough time today either-. Refuse.”

“… All right.”

“Okay, now go get some rest. Don’t come in for another hour.”

“… Yeah.”

After quietly watching the secretary leave, the dean continued to caress the crystal ball.

I didn’t even pay attention to the report the secretary handed over. Because I didn’t have to see it.

Yeah, I know everything.

“Oh.”

At that time,

Uh uh uhh—

As the crystal ball began to glow, the dean raised his eyebrows and smiled even deeper.

Then he looked into the crystal ball and said.

“Yes, it is Lephares. What happened?”

This is a communication crystal ball.

It was also a crystal ball connected directly to the headquarters.

─It’s me.

Someone inside the crystal ball answered.

“Who doesn’t know? You asked what was going on.”

— Are the requested materials ready?

“No, I’m sorry~?”

— ….

The man behind the crystal ball was silent.

“Hey, student personal information is strictly personal information. If you don’t follow the proper procedures, even if you’re the head of the general manager, you won’t be able to tell me easily.”

—What a useless bitch.

“Hey, you talk too much. Is it okay to say shit just because I’m incompetent? If you keep doing this, will you record it and take it to court?”

─It’s noisy. Okay, so I ask you one thing.

The head of the headquarters asks a question.

─Is there any change in your opinion that this method is correct?

“… ….”

Lephares went quiet with a smile on his face.

─Changes will happen. The Emperor’s eyes will watch over us.

“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be okay if it was for the sake of the empire?”

—That word will soon become a will.

“… ….”

Les Phares shrugged his shoulders.

“My opinion is unchanged, but I don’t know if this will work well or not in the future. What, won’t it be as it should be?”

— Incompetent years.

Lephares smiled and affirmed.

“That’s right, I am an incompetent dean.”

─Then you should resign voluntarily, but what is the reason you keep holding a position that doesn’t fit your needs?

“I will. When do you hit me? If an incompetent dean like me was sitting there, there would be endless incidents- I really don’t know what to say. Should I bring in even the perfect superman? Then, no matter what happens, I will deal with it wisely. Unlike me. Right?”

— ….

A moment of silence.

─I’ll call you back later. You’ve been quite busy for four years.

The head of headquarters cut off the communication as if he was busy, leaving the last word.

However, Lephares was still smiling.

“Okay, so….”

I touched the crystal ball again. This time it was a different crystal ball. Les Phares murmured intriguedly as he watched the footage of the scene from start to finish with his chin on his chin.

“… Who the hell is it, the one who helped that child without permission?”

Her eyes narrowed like snakes.
