#One
“This is delicious, Yuri. You eat it too.”
“yes? what’s this?”
“It’s like jelly, and it tastes amazing. I guess everyone tastes different. I think what I just ate was a melon.”
“okay? Then I… … yum.”

District 2 Epic Class Dormitory.
On the sofa in the lobby of the 2nd dormitory, where only the reddish lights were dimly lit, Rubia and Yuri had a late night secret meeting.
In fact, even if it’s a secret meeting, they just go out late at night, chatting and eating snacks.
Yuri, who has been living only in the royal palace since childhood, kept a certain sleep pattern under the guidance of King Artina and fell asleep unconditionally before 10 pm, so the experience of sitting and talking with a friend of the same age at one deep night like this is even more special. there was no
It was good to see it as a small deviation.
I felt like I was doing something a little bad, so my heart was pounding slightly.
Thinking it was a good idea to come to Frontier, Yuri threw the yellow jelly Rubia had given her into her mouth.
after a while.
Yuri’s expression darkened.
“… … Ugh, Sher!”
The jelly that Yuri ate had a refreshing lemon taste.
However, since it was glass that did not eat sour things, as soon as he ate the jelly, he pulled out his tongue and swallowed the saliva that naturally pooled inside.
It was given to me by Rubia, so I can’t even spit it out… … Eventually, he grunted and swallowed it through his throat.
“Well, you don’t have to force yourself to eat like that… … ”
“… oh no You should know how to eat this. Picky eating is bad.”
Even with the words, it was a pretty strong aftereffect.
Yuri, who had been wiping her lips with the back of her hand, immediately sat on the sofa and shook her legs and asked Rubia.
“Rubia, when are you going to bed?”
“… … huh? Are you sleepy?”
“No, not at all? I’m fine, but you look very tired. I was going to tell you that you can go in and sleep if you feel sleepy.”
Rubia’s eyes widened.
is it? it looked like
On the surface, it looked like a life that was no different from the usual rubia, but the shadows that were swung under her eyes could not be hidden.
Are you falling asleep? Perhaps it was, Yuri thought to herself.
It was Rubia, not Yuri, who suggested this secret meeting first, saying that he couldn’t sleep.
“Ahaha, so… I’m actually a little tired, but I’m not sleepy. Why?”
Rubia smiled vaguely and scratched her cheek.
As Yuri said, his body was a bit tired. Still, he couldn’t sleep, so he was suggesting a tea time late at night, which Yuri had been longing for.
So already, for about thirty minutes, we were sitting on the sofa in the lobby, talking to each other.
“Well, when did you not sleep properly? At that time, the pattern may be broken, and if you are not very tired, you may not be able to fall asleep.”
“is it? Ummm, it could be… … ”
Rubia, who had been pondering in her mind for a moment as to the reason for not being able to sleep well these days, suddenly passed by and muttered as if she were passing by.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t see Ezio today.”
“… … ”
Another Ezio story.
It didn’t matter whether Yuri had a slightly tired expression on her face or not, Rubia remembered Ezio, who had not even seen her nose all day.
Ezio’s life pattern was very monotonous, so whenever he had a chance, he could find Ezio’s shadow by going to the 3rd building’s gym.
However, today, he didn’t show up in the men’s dormitory in Building 1 or the gym, and he seemed to have left the Epic Class premises.
Of course, I didn’t find it that strange. After all, the weekend was our free time. It was possible to go out on a tram and play with a friend who was probably Gabriel.
Yuri, who was tiredly looking at Rubia’s contemplative face, opened her mouth as if tossing it.
“Is he that good?”
“… … uh huh? huh? What, what?”
Seeing Rubia’s bubbly face, Yuri chuckled.
“It’s all written on your face. All day long I’ve been thinking about that skinny guy.”
Rubia blushed and waved her hands.
“Oh, no. I’m just worried about my friend… … ”
“Damn it, I’ll believe it.”
Yuri, who smiled as if it was plastic, continued.
“What do you need to worry about? This is Frontier, a completely safe place with no reason to be in any danger unless you stumble on the road.”
“Yes. Yes, but… … ”
Yuri added to Rubia, who was speechless.
“And, I think I know where he went.”
“… … uh? really?”
Yuri nodded her head.
“yes. Few days ago… Is it Thursday? You and I are in the same class as him. There was a great female professor there, and he called her out. After class, he asked if I could talk to him for a while. I didn’t mean to listen, but I was walking down the hallway and the door was open, so I could hear a little bit of the conversation.”
“The school and the professor… yes… What did you say?”
Recalling the conversation from that time, Yuri said.
“Well? I don’t know the details, but it sounds like you’re making an appointment? Because it was probably Saturday… Oh, that’s right today. Maybe he went to see the professor. It may not have been exactly what I heard.”
The professor who personally called Ezio after the lecture was Nadieli Halennia, who teaches extrasensory specials to Yuri and other students.
When I first witnessed that ferocious and unfamiliar thing, it was Yuri that was startled to me, but soon after seeing it a few times, I get used to it… … Creeper, I thought it was an amazing chest whenever I saw it.
… … So what.
Am I still young?
There was no one around except for Rubia, but it was Yuri who was muttering to herself while being grumpy.
Anyway, Nadielli was a new professor who was newly appointed to the Epic class faculty.
I heard that Frontier brought Nadieli’s amazing work to a career as a chair professor… … Perhaps that’s why Nadielli’s private lab was located on a site other than the Epic Class site.
Where was it, obviously.
Was it District 4? …
at that time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa–!!!
“… … hey hey!”
“… … Come on, what’s happening all of a sudden?!”
Rubia and Yuri, who were sitting on the sofa, screamed in surprise at the sound of an alarm that suddenly began to resound in the lobby.
“Heh, heh heh… … ”
My heart pounded for a moment. In Yuri’s ears, who were trembling with how surprised she was, an emotionless, rigid guide sound was heard.
— An urgent notice to all students at Frontier. Five minutes ago from the present time, there was a terrorist attack and fire of unknown cause in the Lunatic Hall of the Frontier District 4 As there is a risk of a chain explosion of the building, students who are currently out of the house should return to the dormitory as soon as possible, and the faculty and staff of District 4… …
hum hum… …
The inside of the dormitory quickly became noisy. There were a few girls running out of the lobby in pajamas to see what was going on. There was also a loud thumping sound from the stairs upstairs where the seniors lived.
Rubia, who was sitting still on the sofa in the lobby, looked up at the ceiling from which the sound had flowed, and calmly placed her hand on her chest as if trying to calm herself.
“Te, terror… ? fire? explosion? on the frontier? really… ? Hey, has this happened recently?”
“… … ”
“… … glass? What’s going on?”
“… … ”
Yuri, who was looking up at the ceiling with her head bent like Rubia, suddenly swallowed her voice with a serious expression.

“Don’t look away. You are here.”
#3
Whoa, whoa–
… …
Let the strong wind blow
Fall leaves fell in rainwater.
It was so prevalent on the street that I was stung by my feet, and I stumbled upon it. It was a strangely addictive sound. It felt so comfortable that I could fall asleep comfortably if I recorded it as an artifact and played it all night long.
While jiggling the goods in his pocket, he received the warm midday sun on his body. The autumn wind was cold, so it was balanced to some extent. Perhaps because of that, I liked autumn the most after winter among the four seasons.
The sky is high and blue. As I walked towards the store I had reserved in advance, I suddenly looked up at the clouds floating in the wide sky.
I felt kind of scared.
Right now, I was in a very worried state, but the high blue sky was just as it flowed and my complicated mind was indifferent to it anyway… …
“ha.”
Another sigh came out.
Lately, there have been a lot of habitual sighs. There was a lot to worry about, a lot to think about. It’s just been like that these days.
Graduation from the academy is just around the corner.
I was a very sincere and steady student, so my grades so far have been surprisingly similar to my freshman year. There was probably not a single student who was more honest and consistent than me inside the Larsen Academy.
So, almost everything was a failing point.
… … Oh, except for the writing.
That was my only pride.
Anyway, if it’s like this, it’s really paid.
Rather than that, is it forced pay due to failing?
It wasn’t that he wasn’t absent, and it was only because his grades were terribly low due to the practical evaluation.
I’ve heard that only bad students who almost collected failing points are collected separately and after taking an additional test, if they fail there too, they’ll really get hold of it… … To be honest, I wasn’t sure I would pass.
I made quite a small achievement over the past year with Mu’s enthusiastic guidance, but since it was a really small achievement, it was a development that would not be visible from the outside.
… … Yes, with Mu’s map.
When I think of Mu, it gets complicated again.
The reason didn’t matter.
… … No, maybe this time it was a little different.
It’s already been a year since I’ve dated Mew.
I started getting to know Mew from the end of the first semester of my second year of middle school, so my relationship with her had already passed two years.
I thought I had seen you for a long time. Have you really seen your face without missing a day? Now, even if I close my eyes and draw, I would have been able to draw a portrait of Mew perfectly. Of course, the quality cannot be guaranteed… …
It was mid-November.
Unfortunately, time passes.
Flowing and flowing, it became today.
… … Today was Mu’s birthday.
November 19th.
Mew and her first birthday as a lover.
Last year, I gave as a gift to my seniors and juniors, but well. This time it seemed to have a slightly different meaning. At the same time, one of the reasons that filled me with anxiety had nothing to do with Mew’s birthday present.
So… …
I do not know.
… … Since when, it has become difficult to get along with Mew the way it used to be.
exactly what to say
On the Mu side, it seemed a little different.
It’s not that love has changed. Still, Mew loved me so much and wanted to see my face whenever he had time. We met on the backyard steps as always. There was no change in daily life.
That seems to have been the problem.
… … Mew wanted our relationship to go further than it is now.
It wasn’t a stagnant moment as it is now, but rather a more serious and affectionate romantic relationship.
“Ha ha.”
sigh again
It’s not that he doesn’t know Mu’s heart. The one I knew best was myself, no one else.
But it was difficult.
It was probably impossible.
Mew, who had been clinging to me so far, said that she likes me and loves me countless times. Me too, I couldn’t get over the request a few times and said that I liked it a lot.
… … So, that means I couldn’t say that I loved you.
“ha.”
This is the third sigh.
Because of that. These days, that’s the biggest concern. I was aware of Mew’s dedication, and I also tried various things to repay him.
From my point of view, it was never that I hated Mew, but rather, I was close to liking Mew, who loved me so much with the same heart, but I wouldn’t be doing it now… …
It’s really impossible to tell a lie that you love me. I myself knew it best. Such words were the ultimate expression of affection, which was most valuable only when it came from the heart.
Anyway.
For that reason, a few days ago.
My first fight with Mu.
… … All couples fight. immutable truth.
In fact, it was an ambiguous quarrel that even looked like a fight. Mew’s affectionate quarrel was a little more intense than usual, and because of that, the level of my troubles only increased a little more than usual.
In front of Mew, who was slightly annoyed because it was her birthday, could she not be able to focus on herself a little bit?
In other words, the strife that remained between us was not completely resolved. In fact, there was only one problem that must be addressed in order to fundamentally solve this. That was essential.
… … The reason why I can’t fully love Mew.
We didn’t say anything, but we both knew.
It was also a newly added concern.
what should i say
It was good to see that I was standing in front of a fork in the road now. It was a situation where there was only one option left, not being able to go back and choose avoidance.
Above all—— considering my current situation one by one, the most ideal option had already been presented.
I now
I had to let Rubia go.
And, I had to accept Mu.
… … That’s right.
As far as it goes, just keep going straight. The street was spacious and quiet, so there was no fear of bumping into someone. Because of this, I close my eyes when spraying and walk slowly, swaying on the fallen leaves.
My heart towards Rubia.
The vague love that Mew pours into me right now.
Mew was a good junior.
pretty and cute
I have no intention of denying it anymore.
Sometimes they make fun of me for good looks, but I know I’m not playing with bad intentions. If Mew smiled brightly while looking at my funny face, I was also laughing uncontrollably.
Although a bit arrogant, Mew was undoubtedly a kind and friendly child. It was also a clear fact.
He has no interest in other men, and even pours his love only on me. Sometimes I felt like I was going to suffocate under that heavy love… … Like I said, it wasn’t with bad intentions. Anyway, he was able to do such things because he truly did for me.
I understand Mew’s feelings like that.
To be honest, I still don’t quite understand why he likes me, but unlike before, I knew a lot about Mew. The reason why Mew acted according to my heart was also understood by hearing about Mew’s painful past.
I also understood the earnest desire to release Rubia from the corner of my heart and look only at myself.
of course,
Anyone can understand with their head.
… … Again, sigh comes out.
Today was the weekend.
So, Muwa decided to meet outside.
It was called a date.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but if you think there’s a problem with dating between lovers, it’s even weirder.
On the contrary, I had to be bold.
Of course, I didn’t even have the slightest intention of making a date with Mew confidently in front of others, but… …
Anyway.
Since it’s Mu’s birthday and nobody else’s, it was only natural for the two of us to go out together.
Was it just yesterday?
I made an appointment with Mew, who still seems sulky.
But the day before he said that, he spent the night with his eyes wide open, pondering and contemplating until he finally came up with that difficult word.
— I’m waiting there. … … Tomorrow will be the happiest day for you and me that can mean a lot to you.
— … … Yeah?
How red was my face back then?

Don’t say squeaky. I had my own thoughts. Mew didn’t know that those words would come out of my mouth, so at first I opened my eyes and made a shrill sound without hiding my laughter.
Mew smiled happily with tears in her eyes.
If the senior said that, he also said that he would expect very, very much.
… … I, too, smiled a little in front of Mew.
“Come on-”
Not long after I opened my eyes and continued walking, I found the signboard of the store I had reserved and went inside without hesitation.
There was a metallic smell all around. Carefully examining the items on the kiosk, I spoke to the owner wearing the single-piece glasses.
“that… It’s called Ezio Cranil, which I ordered two days ago… … ”
“Wait a minute-”
The owner opened the door inside the store without asking or questioning, and after a while came out with a small box. After opening the box and checking the contents, I closed it back with a short exclamation.
and… …
Whoops.
I slowly put my hand in my pocket.
… … Now it was my turn to pay.
“Come again-”
like that.
I can’t afford to buy expensive packaging.
As I looked at my empty pockets, who had compromised by attaching a cute ribbon, I let out a deep sigh that I don’t know how many times it has already been today.
“… … haha.”
Well, though… …
I didn’t feel like it was worth it at all.

Saturday, November 19th.
morning at 9 am.
“——Everyone knows, but keep that in mind. We never came to play. In order to follow the long tradition of the prestigious Lorsen Magic Department, you, the 3rd graders of the Department of Magic, who are expected to graduate from the 41st class, will inherit the will of the Magic Department seniors including myself and cultivate magic with an upright mind… … ”
Southwest of Helios, the imperial capital, a place about 3km away from the location of Lorsen Academy.
Traditionally, as the third-year graduates of the Lorsen Academy approached graduation, on the podium of the large auditorium around the spacious dormitory where camp training was held at a certain time, a beautiful young man with shiny, light brown hair was shouting with a more solemn face than anyone else.
The young man, who participated in the camp training as an assistant professor as a representative of the graduates, was obviously trying to convey the will of the seniors to the juniors by preaching the meaning of the camp more seriously than anyone else here… …
“Wow! Not funny! Be wise!”
“Don’t do that, tell me about your first love!”
“That’s right, Shriel-senpai is handsome! It was popular when I was in school! Talk to me!”
“Shuriel! Shriel! Shriel!”
“… … these guys! I didn’t come here to play!”
After all, are you not interested in speaking?
The 40th Lorsen Academy Magic Department Senior Graduate—— After cutting off Shriel de Laparte’s cry, to hear Shriel’s school days, the auditorium chanted his name as he left.
After all, it was Shriel who was trying to calm down the atmosphere for a long time after that and somehow continue the old-fashioned speech, but he was also a graduate who had experienced the Ministry of Magic camp training earlier.
Just because I graduated a year earlier, what’s the difference? The image of the senior who was struggling on the podium like the one he is now was vaguely coming to mind… …
“You must have had a lot of trouble… … ”
Shriel sighed and put her hand on her forehead.
by his side like that.
“I, Shuriel-senpai. If you’re in trouble, I’ll make it quiet for you… … ?”
“… no it’s okay. heart is grateful ——From now on, the guy who comes out of his mouth like the story of his first love comes up to the stage as soon as I call and reveals his dark history one by one! More than!”
Rubia, who was preparing a short speech as a representative of the 3rd year of the Ministry of Magic, asked Shuriel with her hands neatly put together, but she quickly put on a hard-lined smile when she saw Shuriel who silenced them all.
