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

#5

He was wearing plain clothes, not a uniform.

Wearing the wine-colored scarf that Mew had bought me long ago, I walked out in the autumn breeze.

Where I am now is a shopping mall. It was a weekend and it was noon, so it was quite crowded except for the streets around the store I just stopped by. Vibrant vitality is very uncomfortable. The shouting of businessmen shouting at the market was also very noisy.

The place where you decide to meet Mew is about an hour more walking from here. That has come quite a bit.

However, it was an inevitable choice because the nearest custom-made accessory store was only here.

It won’t be too late though.

We were supposed to meet around 1 o’clock, so if we just walked like we do now, we would be able to get there just in time.

I fiddled with the box in my pocket.

The outer surface of the case was rough, but soft. You could tell that it was a luxury item just by touching it. yes what I bought it with a lot of money, but it should be worth this much. It was also carefully checked to make sure that he had not been scammed.

Will Mu like my present?

If it was Mew, it certainly was.

When I imagined Mew leaping as if she was about to fly after receiving the gift, I smiled involuntarily.

Mew’s unique and lively smile was completely different from the vitality felt from other people walking around the shopping street now. There was no rejection. It was a smile that made me happy just by looking at it.

okay… …

It is true that I like Mew.

So, now is the time to decide.

I have been hiding my indecisiveness with such excuses as being prudent, since once I take one step from here, there is absolutely no turning back.

Anyway, I haven’t had a conversation with Rubia since then. As long as they are working inside the same academy, of course they will run into each other a few times.

Of course, we just have to meet.

Rubia looked like she wanted to talk to me, but she didn’t force it. I also didn’t want to completely exclude Rubia from my life, but well. Today, I had a lover named Mew.

… … Still foolishly and foolishly, from my point of view that I could not let Rubia go, I thought that it would be the worst thing for Mew, not anyone else, to build a poor relationship with Rubia again.

If I could talk to Rubia normally, it would be after I completely let Rubia out of the corner of my heart.

that’s probably

It seemed like it would be today.

“… … ”

After a while, I left the shopping mall.

The popularity has decreased, and the noise has also decreased.

With my hand gently lowering the muffler that covered my mouth, I re-searched the path I had been walking.

If you go there, you will be able to get there just in time for 1 o’clock.

With that thought in mind, I turned around.

There was a slope leading to a slightly remote place. You can see the vegetation and grass beyond.

From my experience, it’ll probably take you less than 40 minutes to get here. I remember going back and forth twice.

It’s a matter of arriving at the meeting point on time, but not late… … Anyway, Mew was the type to arrive much earlier than the appointed time. In that context, he may still be waiting for me now.

Since I knew it well, wouldn’t it be better if we met sooner——with the same thought, I turned my toes and headed for a slightly bumpy place rather than a flat road.

“Ahh. I remember. At the time, there were probably three particularly impatient cuties there. After all, they caught your eye… … How lucky your friend is. Is not it?”

Saturday, November 19th.

12:13 p.m.

Under the glittering leaves in the midday sun.

“Even if you didn’t come here to play, Rubia.”

“Yes, sir.”

There were Shriel and Rubia walking through the thick forest, joking an old wooden staff and a large and beautiful bag of goods prepared for the students of the Ministry of Magic to buy food.

“The idea of the seniors that sometimes they can do things at a restaurant, but they divide them into groups at the dormitory and cook their own food… … To be honest, everyone thinks that this is close to that of camp, but… … Well, if you don’t even have this kind of pleasure, you’ll definitely lose your energy. As an experienced person last year, I understand.”

“Ahaha… Still, I think it’ll be fun. The kids from the same class gather in one place and eat together… … Something is pounding.”

Shriel chuckled.

“right? I think so too. It sure was fun last year. Of course, it’s not very pleasant for us, who came to buy food according to their wishes… … ”

As the number of 3rd graders in the Ministry of Magic was the same as the number of people, there were a lot of mouths to feed. Even though the money is sufficient, there seemed to be more than ten shops just to stop by. Shriel shook her head nervously.

Originally, about five people would have to come and share their luggage, but there was a reason why Shuriel and Rubia were both in charge of procuring the food.

This is because there was no one other than Rubia who could use the spatial magic of subspace in detail.

However, it must have had a subspace artifact that it is expensive to call at the level of the Lawrsen Academy.

For that reason, Rubia, the only spatial magic user, stepped forward as a substitute for Artifact.

Space-based magic was perhaps a realm that interfered with the dimension, so it was not a type of magic that anyone could easily handle. Even Shuriel recognized the danger and majored in magic in another realm.

But Rubia was different.

It was from the 6th grade of elementary school that he had learned the basics of space magic on his own without any instruction from anyone.

Indeed, since the opening of Lorsen Academy, he was a magical genius, praised as the greatest talent ever. Shuriel recognized Rubia’s outstanding genius.

As much as she had to fold even herself, Rubia had a superiority that no one could match with regards to magic.

It was even more surprising considering that Rubia was not a nobleman with a surname, but a commoner from that remote village.

Of course, as the eldest son of Count Laparte of the Solar Empire, Shuriel had a wonderful personality that did not discriminate against commoners.

rather… … I don’t know if I had a favor.

It was Shriel, who was walking the same path as Rubia, speaking bluntly, but the fact that the tip of his voice was trembling a little could only be noticed by Shriel’s mother… …

With the birds chirping and chirping in the background, Shriel suddenly spoke to Rubia on the left.

“Soon, Rubia, you will be graduating too.”

“Ah yes. Yes… … ”

“How do you feel about graduating?”

“Well… … ”

After thinking for a while, Rubia answered.

“It’s a little bit chilly. I’ve been to the academy a lot… … Do you mean that something doesn’t feel right? It seems like yesterday that I entered the school, but when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was graduating… Ehehe, I don’t know either.”

“I understand. It’s been about a year since I left the academy and joined Akasha’s Star, but there are times I still miss the academy days.”

“is that so… … Oh, right. How is life there?”

“Well? Akasha’s Star?”

“yes.”

“What… Because I am the youngest and lesser wizard there. While helping with some chores, I am being taught by senior wizards.”

“Shu, Shuriel-senpai will do chores… … ? hey.”

“Even if you were a senior, you were the biggest fish in small water after all. As you know, wizards belonging to the Star of Akasha can easily exceed Exy (6) even in the basic hierarchy.”

The current magical hierarchy of Shuriel was Pente (5). If it is labeled as belonging to Akasha’s Star, there is still one more rank left.

For that reason, he was recognized for his talent, and although he had set foot in the giant horse tower, he had not yet entered into formal research.

“Rubia, are you also Pente now?”

“Ah yes. Earlier this year… … ”

Shriel raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“Early this year? … Right. I mean, it’s been a few months since I’ve graduated that I’ve accomplished so quickly… … It’s you too, Rubia.”

“Oh, no. It’s all thanks to my seniors who taught me a lot while I was in school. I haven’t really done much.”

“If you teach one, you will awaken yourself, but what I should teach you is what I wanted to teach you. Rubia, you are better than me. Modesty is good, but in the world of wizards, it is better to keep in mind that excessive humility leads to anger.”

“Yes, yes… … I’m sorry… … ”

“… … I didn’t mean to say sorry. Anyway.”

Shriel slowed his steps for a moment.

and then,

“Rubia.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Where do you plan to go when you graduate?”

“… … What if I graduate?”

“okay.”

Shriel said without looking at Rubia.

The neck was a little stiff. I wanted to drink some water, but I didn’t bring a water bottle. When I entered the shopping district, I thought I would buy one.

bruises, bruises.

“The Star of Akasha is fundamentally promising and always welcomes new mages with talent. Of course, the conditions are extremely tight, but if it’s you, Rubia, you can definitely pass it. … No, he may have approached it from there first. Because your talent is so special.”

“… … ”

“More than anything else, Rubia, you will be able to decide your desired career direction without difficulty there. Akasha’s Star was originally born by absorbing the three magical schools. Akasha’s star also achieved the most achievements in space magic, which is particularly difficult to deal with. If you want to advance there, the Star of Akasha will be a very suitable home for you.”

“… … ”

“Oh, but don’t take my words too seriously. I’m just telling the truth. Your magical talents are too good for me to go anywhere to rot. Wouldn’t it be better to go to the top horse tower on the continent and achieve it, it meant the same thing.”

“… … ”

“… … Jung If you don’t like being in the tower, that’s also your freedom. I have no right to decide your future. However, I want you to know that I personally have such a wish. Most of all, I thought it would be comfortable for me to have a junior come in to take over the chores for me, hahaha… … “

“… … ”

“… … Was the joke bad? sorry. I’m not used to this. Apologize if you feel bad.”

“… … ”

“Um, no. Just pretend that the recommendation itself is not there. I think it was too sudden. It’s something you should think carefully about. so… … ”

“… … ”

when we’re done talking

–widely.

“… … ”

Shriel suddenly stopped walking.

and,

bruises, bruises.

… … drop.

——Again, once again.

bruises, bruises.

… … drop.

“… … ”

footsteps sound.

There was nothing but his own.

… … Since when?

“… … Rubia?”

The place Shriel looked back to.

Whoo oh… …

There was only a single sharp wind that was passing by on the uninhabited slope.

“Guys, your tastes are really bad. He also had a divinity to look after him, but in the end he was eliminated from the nomination just because he was a man. Of course, there must have been something like that because only one person could be taken with you in the barrier. Whoops… … 』

The weather was good. The wind was also cool.

It was such a bright and bright day that I wondered if today would be the best weather for playing.

It was such a good day. It seemed like I could have a particularly enjoyable time today.

“♪-♬”

I entered the slope with light steps.

The chirping of birds and the gentle smell of grass that blows gently through the leaves and tickles the back of my nose. I liked it very much. Again, this place was much more comfortable and good than the crowded streets and shopping malls.

fiddling with it like a habit,

About 5 minutes after walking down the slope.

“… … yes?”

… …

The chirping of birds chirping suddenly stopped.

The bright sun was still shining high in the sky, but for some reason the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped slightly. It was a little cold.

The wind was cold, but it wasn’t.

Unexplained chills began to cover my shoulders and back. It was a very eerie feeling.

Whatever it is, I pressed the muffler firmly.

like that,

Ignoring the sudden anomaly, I took just one step——

“… … uh?”

that one step.

With one step, the entire environment around you changed.

saah… …

“… … !”

The hairs all over his body rose up to the top.

A goose that runs along the back of one’s back.

“What, what… … ”

I was caught in a state of being immobilized, like when I was pressed by scissors while sleeping, so I had no choice but to stand still and lick my lips.

Whoops— Whoops—

The bodies of the chirping birds were hardened like stones, and they fell head-on from the branches they had just stood on to the ground.

slur… …

The beams of sunlight that had just fallen through the leaves were getting shorter and shorter, and eventually disappeared from the sky.

The surrounding area, including me, slowly began to be colored with a muted color. The dark muddy floor turned black like darkness. It was as dark as a deep swamp.

sarrr… …

The green vitality of the surrounding plants withers in an instant. The blackened and shrunken leaves lost their strength and fell to the ground with a crunch.

“What, what… … ?”

To my ears that are bewildered and hesitating.

device device geek——

An unknown noise is ringing from somewhere.

It was like the terrible sound of crazy scraping metal against metal, or the voices of the crowd whispering so loud that if you continued to listen you would become deaf.

I barely lifted my trembling hand and covered my ears, but it felt as if it had pierced the back of my hand and directly pierced my brain.

yet.

The sky was blue and high.

It was filled with black paint, as if day and night had changed at some point.

It was so meticulously painted that every single thing was left behind, and it was so ominous and pitch black that I couldn’t even see a single sparkling constellation… …

short of breath

My whole nervous system was burning.

He bent over with his right hand covering his face, trying to calm his trembling eyes somehow.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… … ”

like that,

In the dark forest where the light has completely disappeared.

——Rubia aa!! Fuck this!!!

“… … !”

I was blown away by the shock.

It was close, but from far away, someone screamed.

It was a very desperate cry, so I turned my head towards the source of the sound, surprised without realizing it.

… … no, more than that. Wait a minute.

What did you just say?

Unless I heard it wrong, that voice was definitely calling someone’s name.

The momentarily stiff head rolls taut. A series of accidents continues without end.

… … hurry.

I have to get out of here.

Mu is waiting for me.

What time is it now?

But didn’t someone just call Rubia’s name?

Rubia is here?

really?

but.

It’s dangerous now.

If I don’t go out now, I might die.

Rubia dies.

… … Rubia is going to die?

No, it could be the same person.

you don’t care

Find a place to escape quickly.

And get out of here.

If I don’t go out, I will die.

just came in

Chances are good enough.

Now turn around and go straight ahead.

and–

——Break!! wake up!!! Give me Rubia, you bastards-!!!

Once again a muffled cry is heard.

… … Have you ever heard of a voice?

I feel queasy.

It was the same familiar voice that I vaguely heard in the alumni’s speech that echoed openly inside the academy earlier this year.

But it’s completely different from back then, it’s really desperate and my throat is going to tear, so I feel like I’m voicing a cry like a forceful force… … I could never be sure of anything.

The extended thoughts eventually go somewhere.

“… … ”

I looked down at my hands.

It’s a very small hand for a man.

The sword was barely able to hold onto it and wield it, but it was such a fragile palm that he couldn’t even use proper swordsmanship yet.

Crazy, Crazy——

Even if the magic power was raised to the limit, it was the end of the faint sparks fluttering.

In the first place, except for a few basic magic, there was nothing he could handle. From a hierarchical point of view, it is clear that Dio (2) will only be at the level of ordinary Ena (1). maybe even lower than that… …

okay.

What is this that I can do

You should run away from here.

And, after escaping from here and running quickly to the shopping street, I have to somehow find someone with good skills and bring them here… …

“… … ”

… … If so,

When are you coming back here?

Would you believe what I said about this situation? Would people willingly cooperate with me, even at the risk of my life being threatened?

it wouldn’t be Ordinary people don’t risk their lives for strangers.

It wasn’t like a low-level barrier from what I felt on my skin. The grip of death I have never felt in my entire life. It was gradually tightening my neck. There must be something more serious than me right now. You can tell just by hearing the sound.

Temple, if possible, it is better to visit the temple. To counter this ominous energy, there was no one with superior abilities than the priests and paladins belonging to the temple.

… … And, the nearest temple was two hours away from here.

“… … ”

I wonder if I’ll ever be able to go out in the first place.

Then, I have to do it.

no.

like it has been so far.

As soon as he saw Rubia who fell into a pond when he was young, he instinctively jumped in without any worries.

It was all I had to do.

“… … ”

… … Whoops.

I pulled something out of my pocket.

Small items in a luxurious case and tied with a pretty ribbon. Carefully he took it in his palm and placed it on the withered grass.

I lift my head and look up at the tree.

square— square—

He picked up a pointed branch and straightened it a few times.

With this the position was recorded.

I put it in smartly in my memory, so there was no reason not to come back here.

no matter what happens in the future.

Because I couldn’t lose that much.

Whoops.

The muffler that Mew gave me was also rolled up and placed on top of it.

“… … ”

I thought quietly.

… … music.

I would be waiting

As time goes by from now on, the weather will get a little colder. Do you want to wear warm clothes? I wish it were Even though it’s not winter yet, the beige scarf that Mew always wore in winter. I wish I could wear it today.

In the square in front of the fountain, celebrating my first birthday as a lover and me, I would have been looking forward to spending such a happy day.

I also.

I was hoping for that.

“haha… … ”

Now, I’ve decided to give up Rubia.

Finally, thanks to Mew, who looked after me completely, along with the gift Mew has been looking forward to, I hope that I will continue to like Mew in the future as well.

… … no.

I was going to say I love you

It was too late though.

Only then did I accept my heart.

… … I did.

“… … Fuck.”

I couldn’t stand it and grinded my teeth.

The salty taste also permeated through the tongues, where the taste of iron mixed with blood flowed.

Why, well.

Because of these misfortunes that seem to happen only to me, I can’t stand the rage that rises to the top of my head. I can’t control my feelings for Mew, who is stabbing me so violently that my heart aches.

“Fuck, f*ck… Fuck… … ”

Tears dripping down my eyelids, gagging at the tip of my chin, eventually dripping down to the ground.

… … I clenched my fist.

Now was the time to make a decision.

Let’s not give up hope. The most important thing is to get out of here as soon as possible and then go see Mew.

Of course, in the process, I had to make sure that the owner of the name that the man was calling out was someone I knew, and if so, her survival had to be ensured.

I knew nothing but that a dangerous situation was going on, but it had to be what I thought. However, it will be difficult to obtain immediately. If it had gone smoothly, I wouldn’t have been shouting Rubia’s name so desperately.

It was all difficult.

… … very much

The explosive heat boiling from my chest warmed my body, which had been engulfed by the chills.

My son-in-law was intensely dyed with a bright scarlet color, and I took a step forward, which had been frozen in place and had not yet moved. A heavier wave than usual resounds.

Tub.

Walk forward, not backward.

“… … ”

Towards the source of the sound, I started running.
