Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

87 – Hunting Festival (3)

The sound of someone talking, the smell of food stinging your nose, the lanterns shaking in the dark.

With Lucy on her back, she walked down the street crowded with people.

Occasionally, his breath mixed with the smell of alcohol brushed his cheeks.

If I turned my head now, I thought Lucy would be staring at me for some reason, so I asked with my head facing forward.

“Why did you drink so much?”

“I was upset.”

Amid the tumult, a voice pierced my ears clearly.

The pronunciation was clear enough to make me wonder if it was Lucy, who had made tongue-twisting sounds just a moment ago.

I heard Lucy’s voice from even closer.

“I feel like I’m going to cry if I don’t lose my mind like this.”

Is it related to Kyle?

That was the only thing that made Lucy shed tears, so it wasn’t hard to guess.

I climbed the stairs to the dormitory.

When I came all the way here, there were fewer people than on the street where stalls were open, so there was less noise.

“I am. Did you like Kyle in the first place?”

Have you?

Lucy uttered the words that bothered him casually while shaking his leg while sitting on his back.

At the same time, I must have decided to lean on my back at all, and my chest and stomach, which were closer together, pressed my back.

“Because I’ve been watching since I was little. It must have been because we were the closest and closest friends. Are you listening?”

“I am listening.”

When I answered, Lucy let out a deep sigh.

“But not anymore. Kyle has more friends than I do and she spends more time with me than I do these days.”

“So did you give up?”

“Yes! I gave up!”

As if trying to hide her upset heart, Lucy spoke brightly for no reason.

Even if I say that, I think I can understand everything.

“You look like an idiot for not saying anything. But couldn’t help it? If you don’t look at it, the result is obvious. If you’ve seen this much, you don’t even have to tell me.”

Lucy took a long break.

She didn’t rush and waited as if she was sorting out her tangled mind.

So, before I knew it, I was climbing the wooded uphill road to the dormitory.

“…… Huh. Like the extras who exited like that, I could see things I couldn’t see because I was in a place where there was no light. Like the stars in the sky right now.”

Following Lucy’s fingers, she raised her head and saw that the dark night sky seen through the thick trees was covered with colorful galaxies.

It was a beautiful sight

“But you know what’s funny? After all, that star is out of my reach. All I can do is watch from afar.”

“… ….”

“Does your expression look bad?”

It deserved it.

My goal was to see Lucy and Kyle connect.

Although that goal has faded a lot now, it was still my goal.

“It’s because it’s a pity that I gave up before I even tried.”

“It’s a waste…… It’s not possible anyway, so why is it a waste…… ?”

“Considering that it is impossible is just an excuse for those who do not take on the challenge.”

After we reached the top of the hill, we began to see the dormitory building.

“So what? You want to try it?”

“Isn’t it better than regretting not even trying?”

“But there was already another woman with him.”

“Did you steal it? Or compromised and told me to start a harem.”

Was the solution too stupid?

Lucy, who had been replying so quickly, was keeping her mouth shut. By the time she thought about that, Lucy replied in a spirited voice.

“Hey, do you think that method is okay?”

“I think it’s better than standing still.”

“Ummm…… Okay… ….”

Lucy arrived at Lucy’s room by climbing the stairs of the dormitory while talking nonsense like that.

I tapped Lucy’s shoulder, who was dozing off as if she had just fallen asleep, and Lucy, who was only half awake, rummaged in her pocket and handed out her key.

Jumping.

As I opened the door and stepped into Lucy’s room, I heard crackling footsteps.

Soon, bang! The door opens and Lucy from the future appears screaming.

“Hey, b*tch, what time is it…… !”

Then my eyes met, and he frowned and pointed at me.

“What, what. Why are you carrying me to my room? I definitely said I was going to prepare for the hunting festival with Kyle.”

“Somehow.”

Once I passed by the future Lucy, who was just blocking my way to lay down the drunk Lucy, she covered her nose with her fingers and frowned at the smell of alcohol from Lucy.

The guy who followed me all the way to the bedroom asked.

“What is the smell of alcohol? I don’t drink.”

“Looks like something happened with Kyle. I brought her after seeing her lying on a street stall, so I don’t know.”

My job now is to turn around to leave the room.

But as if he wouldn’t allow that, a slender hand reached out from the bed and grabbed my collar.

Lucy buried her head in the pillow and muttered something incomprehensible.

“What are you talking about?”

The future Lucy, who had lowered herself, heard that and raised her head.

I don’t know what he was saying, but the expression on his face was very mysterious.

The guy pondered whether to speak or not, and then opened his mouth.

“…… He asked me to cook because he was hungry.”

It was definitely absurd.

Lucy fell asleep watching Adele to see if she was messing around with her food, and opened her eyes on the table.

“Wow, I really did and left.”

Is the Adele he knew right?

Are you really saying that he prepared a meal for you when you asked for it?

Lucy, who came from the future, couldn’t help but think that when she saw the rice and soup carefully prepared on the table.

What kind of person is Adele in her head?

A man who killed a generation for an unknown cow.

Aren’t you the one who killed Kyle and Anastasia in front of my eyes?

When I told her not to do that, she didn’t listen to her words, but she listened to what she whined about while drunk?

Rumble.

With her head twisting tight, the boat roars loudly.

I was thinking seriously, but the atmosphere was broken by that ignorant ship.

Lucy quietly rolled her eyes and scanned the food on the table.

“Smells nice… ….”

I didn’t ask for it, but Adele even prepared her own.

But should she say that eating it hurts her pride.

She was about to kill Adele, but as she was hesitant to eat it herself, a note under her bowl caught her eye.

Lucy took out her note and read it.

─Don’t mind and eat yourself too.

A simple and clear note that she wrote in anticipation of her hesitation.

For some reason, it was a very strange feeling that Adele seemed to see right through her.

“Oh no, they tell me to eat, so they eat.”

Lucy picked up a spoon and scooped out a spoonful of soup that was still warm.

It was a clean soup that was considerate of myself who would suffer from a hangover.

I hate to admit it, but it tasted good.

“… ….”

In this way, she becomes distraught whenever she sees a different side from the Adele she knows.

Is what you see the real Adele, or is the Adele you see now the real Adele?

If that’s not the case, they’re both the same person, so maybe it’s just that he didn’t know it properly?

That was when Lucy was thinking about it.

Kikik.

The door opens and Lucy leaves the room.

She asked as she looked at Lucy who was eating her meal, her face still not coming to her senses.

“What…… Every day it sticks to me like a parasite and I didn’t do anything, but for some reason, I cooked a meal today…… ?”

At the sharp words she heard, Lucy, who had matured, gnashed her teeth and answered.

“I didn’t do it, it was Adele?”

“…… ?”

Why does that name pop up all of a sudden?

Drunk and unable to remember what happened last night, Lucy tilted her head.

“Don’t you remember? Adele brought you here when you were drunk.”

“… ….”

Lucy rummaged in his head with a serious expression as she ran her hand over her chin.

Now that I think about it, the vague memories of last night come to mind.

He confessed his melancholy feelings to Adele, and when he was told to lift it up, he meekly put it on his back, and even that was not enough. I became more and more clear.

At the same time, the clearer the memory became, the more Lucy’s expression hardened like a stone statue.

“… ….”

“Looking at the reaction, it looks like you did something strange. What did you do?”

Lucy avoided the mature Lucy’s gaze.

What would she say to her?

I didn’t say it directly, but I compared it to the stars in the night sky that you care about.

She found herself admitting the pain of her own broken heart and the feelings she had been reluctant to admit in her drunkenness.

Because of the difference in her status and her Charlotte by her side, she was about to give up this feeling too, but she said that stealing and harem seemed to be better than standing still, and she sincerely considered those words.

How can I say that?

Her face heats up just thinking about it now.

She said what she said, but I think she would bite her tongue out if she said it with her sober mind.

“aaagh!”

Lucy grabbed her head and screamed.

She said that if she didn’t remember, she’d be less embarrassed, and in her heart she told her to lose her memory.

Of course she was, but there was no such thing as losing her memory.

Her memory of last night, which only came back to life the more she hit her forehead, made Lucy feel like she just wanted to die.
