Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine

213 – Side Story / Tsubasa Hoshizora Ending

“The center exam is already around the corner.”

While the two men and women were quietly studying in the room, the woman spoke first.

“I guess so.”

“I’m sorry I went to college in the first place.”

The white-haired woman spoke to the man in front of her with a strange smile.

“There’s really nothing to be sorry about.”

“I thought that since the variance at the University of Tokyo was so high, it would be burdensome for Jin.”

“… “Are you kidding me now?”

A young man called Jin-gun… Hyunjin shook his head and got up from his seat and rummaged through his pockets.

I touched a small pack of cigarettes.

The woman sitting across from her ―― she was about a year older than Hyunjin was Tsubasa Hoshizora.

“Why do you like things that are bad for your lung health so much?” …”

“I like the thick taste. Would you say it tastes like an adult? Oh, would you like to take a sip too?”

“If that’s what being an adult is like, it makes me want to stop being an adult. I said it by the way. Since she’s not your senior anymore, call her by her name.”

“Oh my gosh, stop the habit.”

Hyunjin slapped her knee and made her laugh.

Tsubasa, looking at Hyunjin like that, stood up with a strange smile and followed behind Hyunjin.

They both came out to the terrace of the officetel, and Hyunjin quietly took a cigarette from her pack, put it in her mouth, and lit the lighter.

“If you think about it, isn’t Jin a minor?”

“Whoa… How about it? “I will be graduating soon.”

While saying that, Hyunjin took a delicious drag from the cigarette in her mouth and then exhaled the smoke as if he was regurgitating it.

Tsubasa silently walks up behind Hyunjin and gives him a back hug as if carrying him on his back

To put it bluntly, Hyunjin quit his job as Amelia’s butler.

She felt sorry for Amelia, but she didn’t quit her job because she didn’t like her.

A brief leave of absence.

If you think about it that way, it wasn’t a big problem.

Thus, it was Tsubasa who rescued Hyeonjin, who had nowhere else to go.

“How are the other kids doing these days?”

“Other children.”

“Huh. Something like Ria-chan or Aya-chan.”

As Hyunjin absentmindedly smoked a cigarette, Tsubasa’s question briefly occurred to him.

“Amelia… Well, I’m doing well as usual, and so is Ayako.”

“I’m glad nothing happened.”

Hyunjin’s face naturally turned red as Tsubasa’s skin felt strangely while she was smoking.

“Wow, it’s already so late.”

“I guess so.”

“I told you to speak comfortably.”

“Okay.”

“Fuhu, what is it? “That way of speaking.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m not used to it yet. It’s been a while since we lived together. Well, anyway. Because you want it to be easy?”

Hyunjin and Tsubasa quietly looked at each other.

A strange current was flowing.

Suddenly, the smartphone range.

As Hyunjin and Tsubasa were getting closer, they were started by the ringtone and quickly distanced themselves.

“Ah, kid. It’s a surprise… “

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The two widened their distance in surprise, as if they were stabbing each other, and at the same time turned their attention to their smartphones.

It was Amelia who called.

Tsubasa chuckled, then tapped Hyunjin on the shoulder and said.

“Take it.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

After receiving Tsubasa’s permission, Hyunjin picked up his smartphone and answered the call.

[… ] ] … What? Did you receive it?]

“Oh, yes.”

[What are you doing these days?]

Hyunjin paused for a moment at the sound of Amelia’s somewhat lonely voice

“Just… In moderation, I spend my time studying for the center exam.”

[It’s because I went to college.]

“Yes.”

[Just… After thinking about it, I tried calling.]

“I know.”

[Please come visit the mansion sometimes.]

“I will. When the time comes.”

[It’s a promise.]

“After the center exam is over, I will have some free time.”

[I hope you get good results, Hyunjin.]

With those words, Amelia hung up the phone.

“Have you answered all your ex-lover’s calls?”

“Ex-lover, that’s too harsh.”

“Oh my, the wind?”

“It’s not the wind…” ” …”

When Hyunjin was about to say something, Tsubasa placed her hand near Hyunjin’s mouth and whispered in his ear.

“At least, not when you’re with me.”

“You have to explain what is prohibited so I can understand.”

When Hyunjin asked carefully, Tsubasa smiled and kissed Hyunjin’s cheek and said.

“Joke. It was just something I said. Should I sleep now? “It’s a center test tomorrow.”

Tsubasa said so and opened her arms to Hyunjin.

“That’s good too. Don’t you usually go to college drinking parties?”

“Drinking party… Yes, it’s a lot, but I’m tired. And… “

You are there.

Tsubasa smiled softly and lightly bit Hyunjin’s earlobe with her mouth

“Ah, child! What are you doing!”

“It’s been a while since we lived together, isn’t it time we got used to it? Hmm~”

Hyunjin started and quickly fell from Tsubasa’s side.

‘It’s definitely been a while.’

Not long after becoming a second year, Hyunjin applied for leave from his job as a butler, and that was partly because he and Amelia had become estranged from each other.

Crucially, the reality is that we had to work hard to achieve our goal of taking the center exam, and that of Tokyo University.

Just because a character is possessed in a novel, it does not necessarily mean that he or she has extraordinary brains.

Since Hyunjin knew that fact, he had no choice but to try his best to avoid it.

“I’m nervous about the center exam, but… Do well.”

“I will.”

“I’m distancing myself from you again with disappointment. Well, it’s okay. Hyunjin, I can’t even feed you.”

Tsubasa had changed quite a bit. When she first met Hyunjin, she acted quite stiff and like she wouldn’t trust anyone, but ever since they started living together, she’s been asking for a burdensome amount of skinship.

Of course, Hyunjin thought that such a life was not bad.

“Would you like a beer?”

Tsubasa suddenly opened the refrigerator, took out a beer, shook it, and asked Hyunjin.

“Oh, that’s good.”

“No snacks… Should I at least order delivery?”

“No, it’s okay. “I’ll make it with what I bought in moderation.”

Hyunjin took out the appropriate ingredients from the open refrigerator and started cooking.

Before long, Hyunjin finished the dish and served stir-fried pork that was reasonably edible.

“It’s amazing… “

“What is it?”

“Well, I didn’t know I would get so used to Korean food.”

“That’s what happens when you live together, right?”

Hyunjin responded with a moderate grumble.

“Hmm~ It’s still delicious.”

Tsubasa muttered as she ate a piece of the stir-fried pork served by Hyunjin.

“… “I’m sorry.”

Hyunjin took a sip of his beer, took a deep breath, and apologized to Tsubasa.

“What?”

“I’m trying, but I don’t think it’ll work out.”

“Center test?”

“Yes.”

“I told you. “Living with just you isn’t particularly difficult.”

“Still.”

Hyunjin didn’t want to lean on Tsubasa. To be precise, he wanted to become a man who could at least take care of himself.

That became her reason for living when she started living with her.

Tsubasa’s house is certainly a place of abundance and lack of anything.

“… How is your relationship with your family?”

Hyunjin asked carefully in a low voice, and Tsubasa answered with a grin.

“Actually… I do not know. When I think about it now, I had a lot of inferiority complex under my sister who was good at everything, and I gritted my teeth and tried to keep up.”

“…”

Tsubasa opened her mouth with Hyunjin in her sights.

“My world has changed since I got to know you and held you in my arms. Hyunjin.”

“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

“The important thing is to enjoy the time I spend with you.”

Tsubasa said that and took a sip of her beer, then she approached Hyunjin and kissed him.

Hyunjin, who felt the taste of cold beer in his mouth strangely shaking his emotions, did not even try to shake it off.

Hyunjin hesitated for a moment as the liquor slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, but Hyunjin made up his mind.

Not twice.

You have to try as desperately as possible to stand next to the person you love.

“Tsubasa.”

“Huh?”

“I’m not confident.”

In response to Hyunjin’s confession, Tsubasa just hugged Hyunjin without saying a word.

“It’s okay, Hyunjin. There will definitely be difficult and painful times… “Because the effort itself to not give up and be by my side is cool.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Then, shall we settle down and sleep now?”

“I’ll do it. Lie down first.”

Hyunjin said that and made Tsubasa lie down first, and then after cleaning up, he lay down next to her.

Tsubasa got so close to him that he could feel her her her her body her heat her her. That day, Hyunjin could not sleep until dawn with his eyes wide open, and he only opened his eyes around 3 o’clock.

***

The next day.

Hyunjin woke up at dawn to the sound of flying sparrows.

Even though her throat was burning, she tried to get up carefully so as not to wake Tsubasa.

Tsubasa woke up first.

“… “You woke up early?”

When Hyunjin woke up and rubbed his eyes her, what he saw was Tsubasa wearing an apron.

“You said you were going to cook as quietly as possible, but I didn’t wake you up, right?”

“I woke up because of the sound of birds.”

“Yes, I said I was going to take a test at the center, but I’m sorry if I made you cook… In the sense of having a good trip.”

Tsubasa said, handing Hyunjin a well-tied two-tier lunch box.

“I knew how to cook too… ?”

“What on earth did you see me for? Of course, if you live alone, you can at least cook. “I didn’t do it because it was a hassle.”

“I will eat well.”

Hyunjin accepted the lunch box Tsubasa handed her and kissed her cheek.

“What kind of affection has been going on since this morning… !”

“I wish I hadn’t done it.”

“That’s right.”

“I’ll wash up and come back.”

Hyunjin said as he put the lunch box on the table and took off her clothes.

“You do a lot of things you don’t do before.”

“Even if I didn’t say anything, I would have done it first.”

“You know me too well.”

“Wouldn’t it be strange if we lived together for over a year and didn’t know each other?”

Hyunjin said with a chuckle, and Tsubasa answered.

“I have to get out quickly.”

…

…

After finishing her bath, Hyunjin saw Tsubasa off and headed to the center’s examination room.

Hyunjin looked at his watch while riding the subway.

She seemed a bit breathtaking. Normally, she was going to come out a little early and go, but Tsubasa forced her to go back to bed, so she had no choice but to spend a hot time.

‘It was a long exam preparation life.’

This one center test will determine the outcome.

Hyunjin strengthened her resolve and walked out of the station she had arrived at.

…

…

“Ha.”

It’s over.

It wasn’t that long, but it was a long exam life of about two years.

While thinking about that, Hyunjin sat down on the bench and lit a cigarette.

“Fufu.”

After taking a deep drag on my cigarette, I looked up blankly at the sky.

I thought I did a good job, but at the same time, I remembered the promise I made with Tsubasa around the beginning of my second year.

‘Please go to Tokyo University with me.’

That was the story.

They say there is nothing more difficult than making a late promise.

It wasn’t a long deadline. I didn’t usually get excellent grades.

If you look at it, Hyunjin was good at physical work and memorization, but he wasn’t that good at studying.

It would be more accurate to say that she wasn’t good at anything unless it was something she was confident in or interested in.

If you think about it, studying was like that.

“Tsubasa, I miss you.”

I said I was a little busy today with a lot of college assignments, so I could pick you up in the evening.

Let’s go after killing some time at the arcade.

Hyunjin walked while thinking that.

***

It was late evening.

Since Hoshizora was forced to participate in a college drinking party, he planned to drink in moderation.

“Come on, Tsubasa-chan. Here, get a drink!”

“… It’s okay.”

“One drink is okay! Are you saying you can’t drink what your senior drinks? Ah?”

Tsubasa sighed inwardly as she saw her college senior offering her a drink with her face red.

‘I miss Hyunjin.’

When she tried to text Hyunjin to tell him that she would be late and that she should eat first, the senior still insisted on drinking.

“Come on, Tsubasa-chan. Today you will drink and die! You don’t always hang out when drinking, but it’s been a while since you started hanging out, right? Now, take it! “Take it.”

Just when I was about to get angry at the man’s attitude as he continued to hand out grain wine to Tsubasa in an excited voice.

“You say you don’t like it.”

A man with a familiar voice said, grabbing the wrist of the man who was urging him on.

“What are you~!!”

The man, whose face was red, must have reached the peak of intoxication, silently grabbed the beer bottle and swung it at Hyunjin’s face, but he lightly swatted it away and said.

“I am Tsubasa’s husband.”

“What, what?”

A drunk man responded to Hyunjin’s words with his tongue twisted.

Hyunjin sighed once and grabbed the drunk man by the collar and said.

“He’s Tsubasa’s husband. Damn you bastard. “If you do that one more time, I’ll turn you into porridge.”

With a scary expression, he let go of the collar he had grabbed with a threatening expression, then grabbed Tsubasa’s wrist her and said.

“Let’s go, honey.”

“Ah, uh… !”

After Hyunjin took Tsubasa out of the bar, he sighed and said.

“Are you okay?”

“… Ah, hmm. It’s okay.”

“I’m sorry, I should have come sooner.”

Hyunjin apologized.

Tsubasa didn’t know how Hyunjin knew and came to her bar, but she was happy about this situation.

“How did you find out about it?”

In response to Tsubasa’s question, Hyunjin drew a V on her chin with his hand and said, ‘Hmm… ‘ … ‘ He sighed and then opened his mouth.

“I thought it was there.”

“I know that no one but you drinks.”

“Let’s at least get a feel for it.”

When Hyunjin spoke jokingly, Tsubasa puffed out her cheeks as if she was slightly pouting.

“P.Y. So, what about the center exam?”

“Narrowly passing the score… I guess it’s like this.”

“What, you should have gotten to the senior level.”

“Unfortunately, your husband is not like that.”

“I’m not even married yet, but he says I’m my husband.”

“Huh? So, you’re not getting married?”

When Hyunjin asked Tsubasa in a surprised tone, Tsubasa suddenly broke free from Hyunjin’s hand, walked a few more steps, spun around, looked at Hyunjin, and said.

“I wish you could propose in a more cool way.”

Then Hyunjin suddenly took off her clothes.

It was not the casual attire he usually wore, but a black butler’s uniform.

“Then, will you marry me? Lady?”

Hyunjin lowered his posture and took out a small case from her arms.

Like a butler who will obey orders at any time.

Tsubasa’s pupils were trembling slightly.

“… Do it.”

“Huh?”

“Fatal death… I do it. If you suddenly come in like this…”

Tsubasa burst into tears while standing.

It was Hyunjin who changed the ice-cold Tsubasa, who seemed like she would never shed tears.

Tsubasa, while crying, approached Hyunjin and took the case he offered her and opened it.

The contents of the case included an impressive ring with a jewel that sparkled in the dark night sky.

“What kind of jewel is this?”

“Colorless Sapphire.”

“The reason I chose this… Are there any?”

In response to Tsubasa’s question, Hyunjin held her hand and stood up.

“Even if this color is desired, love will never change… I prepared it with that in mind.”

“Really, stupid… “Shame on you.”

Tsubasa sat down on the spot once again and began to cry.

Probably other girls don’t know.

I think Tsubasa is the happiest person right now.

The dark memories of her childhood she were saved by a turbulent young man.

“Okay, shall we go home now?”

“… Give me a piggyback ride. “My legs felt weak.”

Hyunjin walked with Tsubasa on his back without saying a word.

The twinkling stars in the night sky seemed to support the love between the two people.
