Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

113 – Shame (4)

The recording is clear in the bright sunlight.

A small rainbow was hung in the plaza where the fountain was spouting, and students in groups of threes and fives enjoyed the holiday laughing hahahahaha.

If you sit on the terrace and watch the scene, your heart seems to become peaceful, but if you turn your head a little, what you see is a dark bar in broad daylight.

Perhaps because of that, the face of the man sitting across from him also looks dark, like a man who has been judged terminally ill.

I wondered why on this fine day I had to hang out with a guy with a face that made me depressed just looking at it, but Chiron didn’t express himself and put down her drinking glass.

She asked, looking pathetically at Kyle, who had been drinking alone and her face was red.

“So why did you ask me to see you as soon as the part-time job is over?”

In response to Chiron’s question, Kyle, who had fallen on her table, raised his head.

Her eyes, bright like those of a deer, were stained red.

She didn’t listen to the answer, but seeing that, Chiron seemed to be able to guess her reason.

“Did you fight Lucy?”

She was a little surprised.

Even when she was working part-time this morning, Lucy bought a lot of condoms.

“What should I do…… ?”

Since yesterday, her head has been complicated and her chest feels stuffy as if she is choking.

The symptoms began when Kyle’s childhood friend, Lucy, whom she had cherished for a long time, said she liked Adele, who was no different from her enemy.

She thinks in her head that she should respect her heart, but in her heart she still can’t forget her, and her pain stemming from the gap between her reason and emotion continues to eat away at him. .

On that subject, I did something that Lucy would hate yesterday.

Since the guy who wanted to change Lucy’s heart forcibly grabbed her body and drove her, it was clear that her evaluation of herself would hit rock bottom.

“Lucy did something she didn’t like…….”

Seeing Kyle clutching her head and lamenting, Chiron clicked her tongue at her tsk tsk.

“Did you get excited just by looking at it and go out of your way by yourself?”

“How did you know? Does it show on your face?”

“Just looking at it, it seems like it. Most of the kids with no experience are like that.”

Something didn’t seem right, but Kyle nodded her head.

“Tell me what you did, I will tell you what went wrong.”

“Yes.”

Kyle told Chiron what happened that day.

I saw Adele and Lucy roaming the streets in a friendly way.

She saw that and realized that she went to Lucy’s room late at night, screaming at her and harassing her.

And she said what Lucy likes her Adele in front of her.

“… ….”

Chiron’s expression, which had been listening lightheartedly at first, gradually deteriorated.

Since it was the first time, I asked her to tell her with the intention of making fun of Kyle for her mistake, but she said that what came out of his mouth was a more serious problem than Chiron thought.

Especially since he saw Lucy shopping for contraceptives this morning.

“I came out yesterday because I seemed too excited, but I don’t want to give up on Lucy. So, how can I change Lucy’s heart?”

Because it is Chiron who knows such a situation, it hurt to see Kyle who still has feelings for Lucy.

She wondered if she should tell him what she saw, but she didn’t feel like telling him because if she found out, Kyle would have a really hard time.

“… ….”

“Kyron?”

As she thought about it for a long time and kept her mouth shut, Kyle, who was already drunk, tapped Chiron on the shoulder, who was distraught and smelled of alcohol.

Then, Chiron, who was determined to make up her mind, grabbed Kyle’s hand, which was placed on her shoulder.

It was said that if it was a landfill, it was said to be burnt.

At the very least, you should know how much Lucy thinks of Adele, who he will be dealing with.

If you knew this and gave up…… In the first place, it was impossible for Kyle to steal Lucy’s heart again, so it was inevitable.

“Kyle, you said you saw Lucy at my part-time job today.”

Kyle nodded his head bewildered at Chiron’s serious look.

“Do you know what Lucy bought?”

“Well? Something to eat?”

Because he had only seen the pure appearance of Lucy, Kyle couldn’t get a sense of it at all even in this atmosphere.

For such a dull Kyle, Chiron told her what she had seen.

“Contraception.”

“… ….”

In that moment, Kyle stiffened.

Forgetting to blink her eyes, staring into space at her with unfocused, blank eyes, opening her mouth like an idiot.

It was very sad that he couldn’t accept reality, but Kyle had to accept that Lucy’s heart was already tilted that much.

That’s how I’ll either fight or give up.

“If I add what I saw to your words…… It must be clear that Lucy thinks of Adele that much. Actually, it’s not too surprising since we’re adults now, but I thought you should know.”

From Kyron’s point of view, it’s like, ‘Well, it’s surprising, but it can be.’

Then, as she remembered what Lucy had said that day, a puzzle was put together in her head.

“So… ….”

So she thought it was Adele when she came to her room that late at night.

What was Lucy trying to do if she wasn’t herself and she was Adele?

The haunting delusions kept coming back to her, biting her tail.

I thought I would stop breathing just imagining it, so I tried to stop thinking about it, but now, just thinking about Lucy, that delusion followed.

“Adele… ….”

Kyle muttered the name as she caught her heavy breath.

She named the man who had tormented her for years, and now the enemy who took Lucy away from her.

Whether he intended it or not, it was an obvious fact, so the anger and inferiority complex in Kyle’s heart ignited.

* * *

“Stop crying… ….”

Adele said as she looked down at Lucy, who was still weeping sadly with her face buried in his thigh.

But Lucy held Adele’s waist tightly with her arms, clinging to her like a leech, not thinking of falling off.

I couldn’t help it.

It’s because they didn’t think about the end of the worry that they might think of themselves as promiscuous for how long they’ve met and that they’ve already thought about mixing their bodies, and the embarrassment that rushes in as if they’ve shown disgrace.

So if she raised her head now, it was obvious that she would see her face, swollen with her tears, and she didn’t want to show it, so she had to hide until she calmed down again.

“…… I think I’m going to die of embarrassment…….”

“Don’t die. Then I am not sad.”

“… ….”

At those words, only sobs flowed from his mouth, but he drew an arc.

In the midst of this, hearing such words somehow made me feel good, and I felt that my embarrassment was neutralized and lessened.

“hehehe…… It feels strange to be comforted by a child who looks like a child.”

Lucy wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and looked up.

On a shady bench under her tree sat Adele in her young form, and she lay on her thigh.

In the grass right in front of the bench, there was Charlotte sitting on a mat with a sullen look on her face, Tina kneeling with her hands raised in punishment, and Anastasia holding Tina like her doll.

“It looks like you came to play, but I’m sorry I took up your time.”

“All right. It’s obvious that the work has grown like this.”

In Charlotte’s eyes, Tina said, “Ugh…….” She groaned and averted her gaze.

It was a moment when she felt the absence of Raviel, who had always taken her side and protected her lately.

“I didn’t expect to be this embarrassed…… Tina’s fault is right…… Tina apologizes…….”

She was Tina, who had never apologized to Lucy even once, but maybe it was because she had been scolded as much as she was today. .

“I wish it was like this normally.”

“Usually, Tina didn’t do anything wrong, so she didn’t have to apologize.”

“What do you mean… ….”

“More than that, young boy! Why did you naturally go back to your original tone!”

As soon as Tina gets into an unfavorable topic for herself, she points out Adele’s tone and she jumps to her feet.

Her intentions were obvious enough to be seen in her eyes, but Charlotte didn’t stop saying anything and gave Adele her eyes.

Her unspoken pressure was that it was now time for her to return as a child.

“… ….”

Adele chewed on his lips as the arrow suddenly returned to her.

“Haven’t I done enough… ….”

“… ….”

The cold silence of the three people who came together replaced the denial.

Adele, who had planned to naturally finish her role as the child of the day with Lucy’s intrusion, sighed at the fact that things didn’t work out as planned and checked the time through the clock tower in the center of the academy.

The hour hand just passed lunchtime.

I thought it would take more time to return to my original body.
