I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

129 – Significant Changes – 4

In fact, I kind of knew it.

The fact that both Elizabeth and Yoo Choa have a deep crush on Yohan.

And, maybe John might have a crush on them too.

Isn’t that a matter of course?

Elizabeth and Yoo Choa both have good personalities that everyone likes.

People are naturally attracted to those who show a favorable attitude.

In that respect, Elizabeth and Yoo Choa were able to elicit favorable feelings from many people.

Because he has a bright personality and smiles a lot, so being around them always makes him feel comfortable.

But what about you?

His nature is blunt, and he doesn’t laugh that much.

I learned that a person of true value should always judge the situation calmly and not show emotions carelessly.

The body has adapted to it, and now it is difficult to express emotions unless it is a dire situation.

So you probably don’t like it.

So that must be scary.

Just as other people can’t come close to him, isn’t John also feeling uncomfortable with himself?

When I thought that far, chills came to my whole body.

Maybe it is.

Think about it. Elizabeth and Yoo Choa are always bright and make people feel comfortable.

But what about you? Have you ever had a bright smile like them? Have you ever made other people as comfortable as they were?

Unlike those who always have a lot of people around, there is no one by your side, right?

I was asking Jin Si-yeon as if a question that was buried deep in my heart welled up.

Anyway, you can’t even compete with them.

If you ask anyone, they will choose Elizabeth or Yuchoa over you.

Jin Si-yeon held her own body tightly with both her hands. Even though her summer was now approaching, she didn’t think the cold would go away.

Ah.

It’s cold.

It’s cold.

Please…

Help me…

“What are you doing here?”

At that time, warmth came.

It was time to leave Yoo Choa and I was about to return. I heard a sound in the bush, so I went and found Jin Si-yeon.

Her face, which used to be pure white, has turned even whiter, and she is holding herself tightly with her lower lip biting to the point of turning blue.

She hugged her so tightly that she even had scars on her arms from her fingernails.

Not only did her slender-looking body tremble, her eyes were shaking.

Why is something strange?

“What are you doing here?”

As soon as he heard my voice, Jin Xiyeon raised her head.

She looked at me with her teary-eyed face at any moment and said weakly with her usual uncharacteristic expression.

“Help… Give me…”

“Huh?!”

Looking at this status, it looks like you’re about to get confused?

What!?

Has the villain attacked?

Or did a dungeon appear?

Anyway, what we need to do now is this.

I used her heal right after casting her twilight shadow on her.

Confusion is also one of the status abnormalities. If that’s the case, you’ll need to increase your status ailment resistance to block it.

And Hill ended up walking around to heal her blown lip and the wound on her arm.

It was a heal that couldn’t heal a big wound, but she was able to heal that kind of wound.

Of course, it seemed like once was not enough, so I hung up a few more times.

How long has it been?

Since the shadow of twilight worked well, Jin Shi-yeon’s condition began to stabilize little by little.

“Come out first.”

“Ah. Ugh… That’s right, my leg is loose…”

Ugh. It’s like a guy who needs a lot of hands.

But that is also one of Jin Shi-yeon’s charms.

She is the typical intramural type of her. There were many players who enjoyed her hero academia and also liked Jin Si-yeon’s appearance.

I was like that in her previous life too.

So I held out her hand to her.

“Ah…”

“What are you doing? I’m not holding you.”

“That, but…”

“I don’t know why you suddenly lost so much confidence, but I’ve told you before. I can always hold your hand when you’re having a hard time.”

I squatted down in front of Jin Si-yeon, who was just staring at her hand in a daze, and grabbed her hand.

As if hesitating, her long, stiff fingers are wrapped around my hand.

She is rough and rough with her sword, but that doesn’t mean her hands are bad.

All of this is the result of Jin Shi-yeon’s hard work.

“Ugh…”

“Let’s take a break.”

Her hesitation led her to her bench. After sitting her there, she pulled out her hot drink from her vending machine and held it out.

“Drink some.”

Jin Si-yeon’s expression was as bad as before.

Unwilling to accept the can he held out, he opened it himself and held her hand on top of her thigh again.

“Ah…”

“I heard before that having someone by your side when you’re having a hard time and having someone to lean on is a big help. Well, compared to you, I’m absurdly weak, but it’s okay to lean on me for a little while. “

“…Wait?”

“Um. Hmm. Then lean on it until it calms down.”

Even if it’s near summer, the sun will set.

The sky, which had been filled with red sunsets until just now, gradually darkened, and as if in response, a street lamp near the bench came on.

Neither I nor Jin Si-yeon said anything until the darkness fell around as much as the sound of grass bugs grew thicker.

Jin Si-yeon, who had been quietly holding my hand for a long time, let out a heavy sigh.

Are you feeling better?

“…Thank you.”

“With something like this. But what’s going on?”

What if something really happened?

As far as I’m concerned, there won’t be anything special that will be a problem for Jin Shi-yeon right now…

“Ah. Uh. That’s it. With Elizabeth…”

“Huh?”

Why is he all of a sudden?

“How about being together?”

If we are together…

Well, if you simply say how you feel, it’s comfortable.

Of course, it’s a little uncomfortable because I don’t know how to deal with Elizabeth right now.

Still, since I have to go to England when summer vacation starts anyway, I plan to make a decision before then.

“It’s comfortable… Isn’t it?”

Of course, putting that aside, it is true that being with Elizabeth is comfortable.

She was the first person I met her, and she is, as Elizabeth says, the closest person I know right now, because she is Elizabeth.

“That’s it.”

“…Really?”

“Yes.”

Jin Si-yeon’s hand, which was holding mine, gains strength.

It didn’t hurt, but it felt like the sadness in her hands was getting stronger.

“Because he has such a good personality and is bright.”

“… It is. Elizabeth. She has always been like that.”

It’s between now Anyway, Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon are childhood friends. We met often and played together since we were young.

It must have felt a bit awkward now as the family relationship was intertwined, but in the game, both of them were thinking deeply about each other.

“I don’t know if you know… Elizabeth’s parents.”

“Uh. I know.”

“… Really? Anyway. Nevertheless, Elizabeth was always cheerful. She was, in fact, she must have been having a hard time too.”

I guess so. Because her mother, who was nothing more than a spiritual support for her, became that way.

Even if there were many members of the Taylor family by her side, her mother, who had a great influence on Elizabeth, sealed her soul and left her in a state of veganism, so she couldn’t be comfortable. Will be.

Even so, Elizabeth did not reveal it.

She is always cheerful and always makes people feel comfortable.

So, didn’t she even come up with the nickname Golden Retriever?

“Great.”

“Yeah… It’s great. I can’t even imitate it.”

“Uh. But you’re just as attractive as Elizabeth.”

“… Huh?”

Her self-confidence is down. If that’s the case, I’ll have to try hard to comfort you here.

“You look like an arrogant cat? No matter what happens, you don’t back down. No matter who you deal with, you don’t back down. You’re proud, but…”

I slowly raised the hand I was holding. Jin Si-yeon’s hand, which does not intend to fall, rises along with it.

“He knows how to act childish when he’s having a hard time. If that’s also his charm, that’s his charm. It’s not just about making everyone feel comfortable, that’s also his charm.”

“… Ha.”

“You’re smiling now. Are you feeling better?”

She had a slight smile on her face, which had been dead until just now. Still, just in case she didn’t know, she cast a twilight shadow on her, and Jin Shi-yeon stared at me silently and bit her lip.

“John.”

“Huh?”

“Excuse me. Can I do one thing to make you feel sorry?”

“Hey. What a pity between us… Ugh…”

A pretty face approached. With eyes closed. However, his lips touched my lips precisely without shaking. The hand she was holding was already on the pod, and the other hand was holding my shoulder.

A short kiss where the lips are just touching each other.

With just that, Jin Shi-yeon’s face was red as if it were about to explode.

“…Haa…”

A hot, sweet breath tickled her face. When the silver thread that remained between her lips and her slowly dropped was snapped off, Jin Shi-yeon didn’t know what to do, but then she slowly let go of her hand.

“…That, don’t get me wrong.”

“Uh. Um. What misunderstanding?”

“It’s not because you comforted me. It’s because I like you. And the answer is… Ji, it’s okay if you don’t do it right now. Then I’ll go.”

“Hey!”

“Mi-sorry! I won’t be able to see your face for a while. I’ll go first!!”

She only talked about herself, and Jin Shi-yeon disappeared in an instant. As she ran out into the darkness, I sat down and thought while watching her blankly.

What is it? Jin Siyeon likes me?

Huh… Oh my god.

Jin Shi-yeon. That’s awesome.

You’re putting me into a state of confusion when my sanity is close to 8.

No more than that…

“…We have to see in class tomorrow, but I can’t see…”

I am looking forward to seeing what kind of face Jin Si-yeon will have in her class tomorrow.

I’m sure you won’t fall in?
