Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

44 – Memory (2)

In a world bathed in light, the first thing I felt was pain.

“Keah… ….”

A pain like being stabbed in the brain.

Pricked by a sword, beaten by a whip, burned with a heated iron, and poison permeated all over the body…….

It was various types of acute pain that I had never felt before, but I automatically understood what it was caused by.

From noble mtl dot com

“After.”

When the intense pain subsided, I wiped the saliva with the back of my hand.

The reason it ended like this is probably because it was just a mere memory.

“Why did you remember this, Adele?”

It was incomprehensible to me.

Why did I remember something I never wanted to feel again?

As if answering that question, the color spread in the pure white world like paint dissolved in water.

─December 24, 1091. Her mother passed away I didn’t know that, but it seems that her mother was a witch.

─January 1, 1092. Her father got weird. I think it was because of the loss of his mother.

─January 21, 1092. Beaten by her father His body was bound and his blood drawn. He passed out in that state.

While the world was being colored, someone’s voice sounded like an echo.

─January 23, 1092. My body is weird

─June 8, 1092. While she was unconscious, she allegedly hit an academy classmate.

─February 1, 1093. Blood was drawn again by the returning father.

It was a diary.

A diary written not in writing, but in Adele’s voice.

─April 4, 1094. The abnormality of my body seems to be the influence of my father.

─July 1, 1094. It seems that I am not myself anymore. Measures are needed

─February 27, 1095. Tomorrow, my father will return…….

──── Hwaaah.

The world has fully regained its form and color.

That place was the study.

The library where I found the traces that Adele had hidden a while ago.

─Adele.

A profound voice I’ve never heard before.

Heidel turned around and looked out the window at the rain.

And behind him stood Adele, who looked just like him.

─Why don’t you listen to me?

Heidel turned around.

He held a flask of freshly drawn blood in one hand and a bloodstained sword in the other.

─Why would a father harm his child with his own hands?

I couldn’t read Heidel’s expression as the study was dark.

Unsure if he meant it or not, Adele replied with a wrinkled face.

─Does anyone who knows the reason ask?

─Are you saying that your mother wouldn’t want something like this?

─That’s exactly what it says.

─But.

Turb, tumble.

Heidel put the flask and sword down on the table and approached Adele, who was standing still.

I put a heavy palm on his shoulder.

─Isn’t resistance to me the limit now?

At his insensitive words, Adele bit his mouth tightly.

─I don’t know how you’re keeping your mind from my 【Hypnosis】, but lately, haven’t your thoughts become hazy and violent?

Hypnosis?

Violent?

I still don’t know what you’re talking about, but Adele seemed to have a story behind her.

And that story is probably why it called me out.

─That’s obviously true.

Adele grabbed Heidel’s hand on her shoulder and lifted it up.

She is only a memory of her, but she teased her mouth as if daring Heidel, who felt a sense of dignity that could not be ignored.

─But even if I fall asleep in hypnosis one day, I have no intention of giving up.

That was the end of the conversation.

Perhaps his business is over, Adele turns around.

She threw open the door that was firmly shut and left the study.

Closing the door, Adele spoke one-sidedly to Heidel in the dark.

─Again, Mother will not forgive you for doing inhumane acts for your sake.

Boom!

The door is closed.

She sighed and leaned against her wall as Adele, who had been bragging about her as if she had been fine just moments ago.

In that state, it flowed down her legs as if she had lost strength.

She sat down on the ground and put her hand on her forehead.

— … When the tension is released, the mind becomes hazy…….

The moment your eyes become cloudy and cloudy.

─Brother?

A voice came from the other side of the hallway.

Adele lifted her head with difficulty and saw the owner of the voice.

I could tell who it was without even looking at her.

—Is that Charlotte?

There was Charlotte cleaning the hallway.

A little younger than I know.

─Are you all right?

Throwing away the rag she was holding, Charlotte ran towards Adele.

With a puzzled face, she fumbled over Adele’s body, then asked in a still childish voice.

—Uh, how did these wounds…… ?

— … Injured in a sword fight with her father.

—Is that so…… ?

─It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry and just do what you’ve been doing.

With her hand beckoning Charlotte, Adele staggered to her feet against the wall.

She laughed as if she was dumbfounded as she watched her back, which was getting farther and farther away.

─What else happened while I was unconscious…… A guy who doesn’t normally talk to me sometimes approaches first…….

After those words, the world was once again enveloped in light.

The end of remembered memories had arrived.

—Anyway, have you seen it?

Adele muttered as she stared into the void.

─I don’t know if it’s another ‘me’ watching this memory or the me swallowed by hypnosis, but keep that in mind.

No, he was looking at me.

You will not be able to see me at the time of this remembered memory, but you will be seeing yourself.

And this memory is a message to me.

─Beware of Heidel. He only uses you to avenge his mother.

… ….

“… ….”

When I opened my eyes, I was in the study.

I returned to the point of view with my own eyes, not the point of view of a third-person observer.

I checked my watch to see how much time had passed, and it was less than 5 minutes since I touched this magic circle.

“What is…….”

I don’t know.

Assimilated Adele’s memories are not arranged and are jumbled.

Once I took out the book, I put it back on the bookshelf and pulled a nearby wooden chair to sit down on.

“So Adele wasn’t abused because of sword fights or s*xuality?”

She leaned against the table and put her hand on her forehead.

It was because I felt dizzy while assimilating with Adele’s memories, not mine.

A deep breath calmed her pounding heart.

“The reason why Adele called me to the fairy tale was because she fell for the characteristics of Heidel to the point that she couldn’t bear it anymore?”

Ha ha.

“Why are things suddenly more complicated…… If you were beaten because of your grades, it would be simpler and better.”

Even though I didn’t try to sigh, I sighed naturally.

I thought Adele was just a villain who started a fight with Kyle, got beaten up in the middle, and took away the heroine in the second half.

He thought he could live without problems if he just cared about his grades and dealt with the evil around him.

For some reason, he was a guy who lived a more complicated and bizarre life than the main character, Kyle.

“What and how much more do I have to do to get my breath fresh?”

So it was a situation that let out a sigh…….

* * *

Since Kyle and Kyle haven’t been to school for a while, Lucy has time in the morning.

It’s a good time to spend just sleeping, but it’s a pity to waste time on sleep, which I used to spend sparingly, so I came to the academy early.

So today, I arrived at the academy long before the lecture started, and I was going to water the flower beds to pass the time…….

“Anastasia, what are you doing here?”

Lucy found Anastasia in the flower bed and asked in a bewildered voice.

The reason why she was dumbfounded was because she was buried in the flower bed and only her head was sticking out like other flowers.

As if they were about to be buried alive.

“…… Cold…….”

Anastasia said that and turned her head away.

It was only then that Lucy realized that the watering can she was holding to water the flower bed was watering Anastasia.

“So what are you doing here?”

“As you can see, they are planted in flower beds.”

“No, so why was it plugged in?”

“Adele plugged me in saying I don’t have time to deal with you today. But it was more cozy than I thought, so I was resting here.”

“… ….”

It’s a strange answer, but Lucy, who somehow understood it, put both hands in Anastasia’s armpits and lifted them up.

Like a carrot being pulled out——and Anastasia was pulled out.

“But you cling to Adele well. Other people are afraid of him and can’t even dare to do that.”

Lucy lifted Anastasia’s arm as if she were babysitting her little child, and brushed the dirt from her clothes.

As if she was accustomed to being taken care of like that, Anastasia took care of herself and moved her body so that it was easier to brush her off.

“Are you scared?”

“You don’t know. In the old days, you would have hit them with your fist instead of planting them in a flower bed like this. A place where you can’t see very well.”

“He didn’t sound like such a bad person.”

Anastasia lowered her head and looked down at Lucy, who was squatting and dusting herself off her body.

As if she had memorized, she cut off her words, who had been memorizing Adele’s evil deeds, and asked.

“But why are you clinging to Adele when you know that Adele is a scary person?”

“Huh?”

At that question, Lucy couldn’t help but tilt her head.

Does she cling to Adele herself?

From noble mtl dot com

Because it was completely incomprehensible.

She said, “I often saw her talking while going to school. And during group assignments, during retreats, and so on, we always stuck together. Isn’t she actually scary?”

“No, that is… ….”

It’s a bit different.

What he said on the way to school was probably asking for an apology from Adele.

There was another reason for that during the retreat, so isn’t the case different from Anastasia?

Lucy thought so, but Anastasia spoke first before speaking out.

“That won’t work. If you say things like that to monopolize only you.”

“What, what?”

“You’re just trying to scare me away from me. I am not fooled.”

The absurd sound left Lucy speechless.

I wanted to refute, but she couldn’t figure out where to start, so she just opened her mouth like an idiot.
