My Childhood Friends Who I Thought Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

chapter 10



10. No, weren’t you angry until now?

Episode 10. No, you weren’t angry until now?

You can cry.

Cecilia’s face twisted strangely at those words.

My emotions fluctuated wildly, as if the long-awaited permission had finally come.

Then, as tears welled up in my eyes, the area around me became foggy.

When I couldn’t even see the tail in front of her nose, she blinked her eyes.

Tears fell in torrents.

Tears that once ran down my cheeks continued to flow without stopping like a broken faucet.

“Huh… Whoa….”

Cecilia cried as she held onto Tail’s hand.

As if emotions explode.

She didn’t cry even when her brother died, but now she bursts into that emotion.

Tale hugged the crying Cecilia.

Cecilia cried even louder at the feeling of her patting her.

She expressed her feelings by weeping like her newborn baby.

Tale continued to calm Cecilia.

“It’s okay. Good job. I am crying well.”

Those words were so reassuring that Cecilia couldn’t stop crying all the more.

So, for the first time, Cecilia expressed her emotions in front of her tail.

* * *

Cecilia, who had been crying for a long time, passed out and fell asleep.

It’s cool, it’s cool.

Tails looked at Cecilia as she leaned her head on her lap.

The child was lying completely defenseless, and even though her limbs were bony, her cheeks were plump, as if her breast meat remained.

It pained her heart that such a young child had suppressed such great emotions.

‘I’ll get better faster now.’

She has expressed her emotions once, so it will only be a matter of time before she gets better.

Since the festering wound has burst, it should heal quickly if treated now.

Tail thought so and she lightly brushed her Cecilia’s hair.

“Hmm….”

She whined and went deeper into Tail’s arms.

Tayl smiled at her baby-like appearance and stroked Cecilia’s head more.

‘I have to go soon.’

It’s getting late, so it’s time to go to bed.

When Tails thought so, she was about to get up.

Chin.

Cecilia’s hand flew quickly and grabbed the collar of her tail.

It was as if he was moving instinctively in his sleep.

The moment the embarrassed Tail tried to remove her hand from her collar, Cecilia gave a small whimper.

“Brother…. Don’t go….”

Cecilia’s eyelashes were dripping with tears.

Seeing her sorrowful and pitiful appearance, Tail stopped her from trying to take Cecilia’s hand away.

‘Ah, I must have met my older brother in a dream.’

Perhaps the collar she grabbed was her real brother’s, not her own.

She was holding her tail so tight that her fingertips trembled.

It must mean that it is that desperate.

‘Ha ha.’

Tayl let out a short sigh and sat down again.

As usual, I should go out and put Chloe to bed this time, but she’s already put to bed, so it should be fine.

With Cecilia’s head resting on her lap, Tails sat there for a while.

* * *

In the end, Tail went out only after dawn.

Fearing that Cecilia would wake up, Tails went outside and quietly shut her door.

Chin!

When the door closed and it became completely dark, Cecilia’s eyes flashed open in the darkness.

She looked very active and well-behaved, as if she hadn’t been sleeping in the first place.

She slowly lifted her body up and sat down, then lifted her bony arm and stroked her hair.

For some reason, the warmth I still felt made me feel like my emotions were fading away.

Tale is kind.

And warm.

Like my older brother.

Seeing her poor self, she just couldn’t get over it.

So I didn’t like the guy who was about to go, so I grabbed him by showing a more pitiful side for no reason.

‘Can I really trust him?’

It felt like someone was whispering in my ear.

‘Can I have a day like he says?’

‘Can he face the rising sun and greet the day listening to the chirping of birds?’

‘Can I laugh and chat and tell jokes like the other kids?’

Dozens of questions confused my head.

At the same time, Tail’s voice rang from afar.

“Be happy. Miss.”

Happiness? Can I be happy when I am unhappy?

‘Is it you?’

I could hear a laugh.

Cecilia’s eyes twitched.

At that time, Tail’s voice was heard clearly this time.

“Because you deserve it, my lady.”

As soon as I remembered that word, the questions and ridicule that cluttered my head like lies disappeared.

Cecilia stood up slowly.

And walked towards her window.

I felt the cold through the window.

Cecilia’s heart beat at random.

She’s going outside for the first time other than the day she’s been here.

“Cecilia can be happy too”

That happiness he once said.

‘I want to be happy too.’

I want to go to a bright place, not a dark place, and I want to breathe fresh air.

I want to see the clear sky and feel the intense sun that is about to burn.

I want to walk on the crispy lawn and go to the valley and play water sports.

At the end of that, Tail was with him everywhere.

Her small, skinny hand trembled slightly and grabbed the edge of her blackout curtain.

It has been several months since I looked out the window.

Since she first came here, she has never seen beyond this space.

‘Yes. See.’

She might be disappointed when she sees it.

She may be no different from this dark space she is staying in.

I still wanted to change.

Cecilia, determined, closed her eyes tightly and pulled back the blackout curtains.

And she slowly opened her eyes.

“… Whoa, whoa.”

The world unfolded before her eyes was beautiful.

The sky shimmered like jewels, and the large moon softly illuminated the world.

The scenery of the quiet monastery and the lights of the trees scattered here and there caught my eye.

The scenery I hadn’t seen in a long time was so wonderful that my heart raced at random.

It was the opposite of what I thought would be disappointing.

At that time, a familiar figure was walking from a distance.

‘It’s a tail.’

As she watched him quickly walk away, Cecilia involuntarily smiled lightly.

* * *

The morning air was colder than expected.

“Ugh. Cold.”

Tail rubbed her arms and hurriedly walked away.

‘I’m going to go to bed soon and warm myself up.’

I thought I would have to go to sleep late because the time it came out was delayed more than I expected.

It’s almost time to arrive at the lodging where the monks are staying.

From afar, I saw someone squatting on the steps in front of the dorm.

‘Who are you?’

I tried concentrating mana into the eyes to secure my vision, but the opponent was wearing a hood, so I couldn’t confirm who it was.

‘There’s no one here at this hour.’

Maybe….

‘Are you the abbot?’

Are you here to catch yourself sneaking out?

‘Oh no way. That grandfather can’t get up early in the morning because of his age.’

It was only yesterday that you grumbled that you were getting older and sleeping more.

Buck and go.

Tail walked slowly towards the inn.

The squatting person did not even move his body.

And then.

Buck and go.

When you reach all the way in front of your house and try to pass a person wearing a hood.

Tup.

His arm quickly came out of his hood and gripped Tail’s clothes.

The moment Tails looked at his opponent in a panic, his long blonde hair flowed out as his hood was pulled back.

And at the same time, Tail recognized the opponent and made a surprised expression.

“… Chloe?”

At the same time, Chloe’s gorgeous, bright blonde hair blew in the wind.

As usual, she had fair skin and a beautiful appearance, but for some reason, it seemed like fire was burning in her eyes, so Tails took a step back.

And seeing him wince at her, Chloe bit her lips as if hurt.

Then Tails scratched her head and asked cautiously.

“Uh…. Didn’t you sleep?”

Tails asked with an awkward smile. Chloe pursed her lips and said curtly.

“I woke up.”

Tayl felt strange at her words.

His skill was more effective than I thought.

Didn’t he calm down just by looking at Cecilia?

Because it is a skill that makes you feel comfortable, those who fall asleep while receiving the skill do not wake up easily.

‘As long as my emotions don’t become unstable.’

For example anger.

Tail frowned slightly, not understanding.

‘What did I do wrong to Chloe-sama?’

According to her own memory, I think I went to help her get a good night’s sleep.

‘Are you upset about something else?’

Just when I thought so, Chloe opened her mouth with difficulty.

“You. Did you go to Cecilia?”

Feeling like she was being questioned for some reason, Tail replied one beat late without realizing it.

“… Yes.”

At the same time, Chloe’s beautiful face crumpled.

His clenched fist trembled.

For some reason, it seemed that things were going badly, so Tails approached urgently.

“Chloe. Fine….”

Before Tale finished speaking, Chloe turned her body around and answered sharply.

“Okay. I’ll go.”

The eyes, which were kind like those of a puppy, became ferocious like wolves before I knew it.

‘It was a big deal.’

Everyone could see that she was angry.

Tails, who had never seen Chloe angry before, hurriedly followed her.

“Chloe. I’ll take you.”

“… I do not need.”

After giving a short answer, she turned around and glared at Tail who was following her.

“Don’t follow me. I will be angry if you come.”

No, weren’t you angry until now?

Those words reached the top of her throat, but Tail held her down with her superhuman strength and stopped her.

“… All right. Please go in carefully.”

Chloe’s face strangely crumpled at Tail’s words.

As if this wasn’t what you wanted.

Biting her lips hard, she bluntly turned her body in front of her, then quickly moved on with her steps.

Tail, who continued to look at Chloe as she walked away, entered her quarters only after confirming that she had completely disappeared.
