92 – Eve (5)

-There will be an imperial procession soon, so follow the instructions and pay special attention to safety…

-Is the prince already?

-You originally came on the day of the inauguration of the student council president.

-This time, last year’s president, Kyle, is coming, right?

Due to the procession that was about to begin, the streets of Academy Square became narrower and more crowded.

“I’ll just pass by for a moment!”

Like a person possessed by something, I jumped into the crowd to find the missing saintess.

You can’t see it wrong.

It’s not the kind of clothes or appearance that you would easily see at the academy.

‘Iris… !’

It seemed clear that Iris had said something to the saintess while I was away.

In an instant, among the people procrastinating, I saw the back of the saintess wearing a priest’s hat.

“Saintess!”

-… !

She flinched at my cry.

– Pervert.

-…

But don’t look back

No matter how loud the sound of the fireworks was, I could definitely hear my voice, but I felt like I was ignoring it.

“Excuse me!”

I hurried my steps a little faster.

-Tadat.

The saintess’ stride is not that wide.

It was a well-known fact.

Because there were many times when I walked in line with her steps.

Every time they walked side by side like that, she was a person who pays attention to the little things and pays close attention.

-Tadadat!

And, the moment the saintess tried to escape through the narrow alley,

– Tup!

“!!”

I was able to hold her delicate wrist.

-ridge. ridge.

In my hand, between the soft clergyman’s robe, I felt a warm pulse.

“Saint… ”

“… let go… please.”

“!”

However, as if the saintess wanted to shake off my touch, her arms soon gained strength.

Moreover, he hadn’t looked back.

It was a time when a conversation was needed rather than a coercive attitude.

“Holy Lady, let’s talk.”

– Poof.

“Huh… !”

When I turned the saintess around, I could finally see her face.

Sadder than ever… she was crying

Clear tears were running down her eyelashes.

And from below, I heard the kind voice of the saintess I liked and longed for.

“… You are too much of a person.”

“!!”

My heart skipped a beat when I heard her slanderous words for the first time.

At this word, I feel like I want to get down on my knees and apologize right now.

“What did you hear from Iris-sama… ”

“Why did you follow me… ?”

“that… Because the saintess was crying.”

I couldn’t stay still because I was crying…

It was a pretty banal excuse that is common in the media.

How did things unfold in that situation? ?

The saintess quietly muttered as if it were the same as expected.

“You are a saint again… ”

“…?”

“Remember? Until now, I have been courageous to Mr. Hayu from time to time… I asked for a name… ”

– That’s not it! Could you please call me by my first name…?

Was it in the carriage before coming to the academy?

– By name… please call me

Even in Floria’s cabin… It was.

“… … ”

Something began to burst out of the saintess’s mouth.

“Even if you call me Prissy for a moment, why do you come back as a saint? Every time I met Hayu, I thought and thought again… Am I that uncomfortable, or am I a difficult person?… ”

“Never uncomfortable or difficult… !”

“But I think I know now.”

A slightly resigned and condescending tone of voice,

The saintess with her back to the alley has sparks in her eyes, and people’s shadows pass by.

“If I can be called by name by you, no, if I can share the same time with you, then the title of saintess… Maybe I can put it down… I had such bad thoughts… But every time that happened, you showed up to me and told me to go the right way… ?”

“Sung, no Prissy… ”

-Fuck…

“Whoops.”

She held my hands together and smiled benevolently.

The smile of a saintess that she shows to others.

“You don’t have to force yourself to call… Now that I understand why… you are… It can’t be mine, and I have work to do.”

I have nothing to say.

My subconscious really won’t let me call Prissy’s name… I guess it did.

It’s stupid.

You can’t even call someone you like by name.

Prissy whispered into my eyes, holding her hand tightly.

“… Can you keep your eyes closed and look this way?”

Reflected in her eyes, I had a pretty stupid expression.

Then she slowly approached me and started kissing me.

-…

The moment your reason is about to be eroded by a heart as soft as coffee cream, desperate,

-… !

The lips moved apart again.

And Prissy spat out softly.

“Hayu, I love you.”

“… … ”

Seeing the sadness in your voice and eyes,

She probably thinks that I, who was taken away by Iris, will not be able to keep my promise to the end… It seemed like he was guessing.

More at readwn

Just like that, tears flowed down Prissy’s cheeks.

“… … ”

“So now… I’ll let you go.”

– Took.

Our holding hands move away again.

People cheered behind them, and countless lights twinkled.

But this alley with me and Prissy was dark like a deep tunnel,

In this, her white priestly uniform had its own light.

As if you saw a ray of light in a dark place, grab… I wanted to hold it.

All the way from the past, it seems that she was able to come this far because she always shined.

“… … ”

I set the saintess as my goal to live in this crazy world and used her as my driving force to never give up.

Where should I start talking about this heart?

That was the moment I was about to open my mouth.

“… Ah, inside!”

“…?!”

Prissy looked serious for a moment and pulled the hem of my clothes.

Following her gaze, Eliana was there.

-Have you seen this one?

-Those who find it must immediately report it to the Leading Committee.

I couldn’t hear the subject, but Eliana seemed to be looking for me.

Intuition was telling me so.

Besides, seeing that there are many knight cadets following him, it seems that he is doing a pretty big job.

‘What kind of situation is this… ?’

Fortunately, we were able to hide behind a pile of scraps left over from preparing for the festival.

Prissy’s hands are shaking a little.

“Hayu, you can’t be with me… It’s dangerous.”

“… no. I’m fine. I’m just glad you hid it.”

I calmed the saintess as much as possible and thought calmly.

Eliana must have met Iris in my room and talked about something.

And since Iris was lying down, I don’t think the two of them had a good conversation.

Eliana is looking for me… Did you find out my true identity belatedly?

“Hayu… Eliana is also targeting you… maybe because of me… ”

“Prissy-nim, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Eliana started targeting me openly.

Prince Kyle tries to intervene in the festival by advancing the schedule.

As with things in the ecliptic, if there is a connection between the two,

Dealing with these guys blindly targeting me might also be getting closer to the ending.

‘Can you win… ?’

In order to do that, it would be an easy victory if Iris passed on the magical power…

I saw the saintess trembling in front of me.

If you take over all your magic power, you might find a way to release the circle.

“Prissy, please wait a moment.”

“… yes?”

Maybe the two of us can start a new life quietly…

– angle angle angle.

“!!”

Then, in the darkness, the sound of mysterious footsteps was heard.

-Chalbak.

Stepping on the stagnant water, the identity of the approaching voice…

“… You were here.”

[※Caution: Kwon-ju has a high intention to kill. Be careful with your behavior]

A little creepy voice today. It was Iris.

“… What are you two doing?”

She was smiling a little for some reason.

“Miss Iris.”

Iris passed me by and looked down at the saintess and said a word.

“… I thought you understood what I was saying.”

“… !”

Prissy’s face turns pale at her cold words.

“… I understand the taste of the noble saintess.”

“no. Prissy just hides me… ”

“… I don’t want to hear it.”

Accompanied by a hollow voice, a familiar pain began to creep in.

– aaa… .

It was a tightness I hadn’t felt in a long time.

power of kinship.

Iris, wearing a black dress, bent her knees to meet Prissy at eye level.

“… !”

-Suddenly.

Then he touched Prissy’s lips and said.

“… Good luck on the outside, behind the scenes… ”

“… … ”

“Iris-sama… !”

When I tried to make an excuse, Iris stopped talking and flicked her hand.

“… Be still, Rezen.”

Prissy also seemed to have noticed the situation, and now she looked at Iris as if to listen to her words.

“… … All right.”

Iris walked by my side again.

And whispered in my ear

“… The plan went awry.”

“As expected, Miss Eliana… Are you looking for me?”

“… right.”

“However… It has nothing to do with Prissy, right?”

She frowned slightly and glanced at me.

“… The reason they are targeting you is because of that woman.”

really? just because of that?

The face of Prissy, who is still trembling, is not good.

‘this… ‘

Iris said as if blowing wind into my ears.

“… mana… Do you want to take over?”

“… ”

“… Listen to me.”

If everything is handed over… exactly…

Her voice was like a demon whispering.

“… tell me yourself to that woman.”

“What do you mean?”

.

.

.

“… Gone, forever.”

Iris’ cool words linger in my ears.
