Chapter 22
Episode 22 – Jealousy
The streets of Star City under sunny weather.
Stores and stores that make your mouth water even when you smell them.
Numerous students were discussing harmoniously with their respective groups here and there.
And between them, there was a man and a woman walking side by side in such an awkward state that everyone who looked at them took their breath away.
It was just me and Dina going back to the dormitory.
Sweat drips from my forehead down my cheeks.
It’s extremely awkward, but in a way, it might be a good thing for me.
She is somehow the protagonist of this world.
The opportunity to be alone like this has come, so at this time, you have to become close at least a little.
Because I have to get close to her to increase my chances of surviving.
Since there were many times when it was just the two of us, why are you talking about this now?
Do you know how to deal with a transcendent beautiful girl whose soul is a man? Shut up if you don’t know.
‘…… I have no idea how to treat her.’
I glanced at Dina and saw a dark expression on her face.
Unless my [Sixth sense] Is broken, I’m sure she’s always aware of me.
But I can’t think of the reason why he is conscious of me.
‘Is it because you hate me so much?’
To say that, the emotions watching me are mixed up.
I don’t know how to deal with it because I’m not sure whether it’s something I don’t like or am interested in.
The fact that Dina is the main character of TS also contributed to that.
‘Should I lighten the mood first?’
Once big. As I loosened her throat, I could feel Dina’s distracted consciousness shifting this way.
“Hey… ….”
As I open my mouth, Dinah suddenly glares at me with her piercing eyes.
With that look in her eyes, she felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife, so she closed her mouth again.
‘I should just shut up and go!’
If you say one more word, it will kill you. My purpose is to survive, not die. Huh.
The long silence begins again.
Maybe because the dormitory is a bit far from the street?
The number of people walking around gradually dwindled and eventually it was really just the two of them.
Beat and beat.
I could hear only the sound of the footsteps of the two walking on the ground, and I was already liberated and walking down the street in a half-dazed state.
“Excuse me.”
Suddenly she started talking to her.
Surprised, the rest of her body trembled and answered.
“Yes?”
She seemed to be thinking a little more.
“That, the red-haired woman I was with all day.”
Ah, was it possible that she only wanted to be close to Scarlett?
You were conscious of me because I looked close to Scarlett?
‘Then, all the sharp gazes until now must have been jealous of Scarlett’s friendship with me.”
Well, Scarlett fighting the devil one-on-one during the entrance exam was kind of cool.
I decided to actively introduce her to her Scarlett.
Scarlett in [Outside Young] Is one of the people who has been following Dina all along, so if she gets close to Dina, she will like Scarlett too.
“Scarlett? Using Zweihender.”
“Yes. She is him That, maybe.”
“You are interested in Scarlett! He’s really nice! Her personality is also very righteous, so if her friend is in danger, she will immediately rush to rescue her, and her personality has a puppy-like side, so she is even cute!”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes?”
“Actually, he decided to become a knight because he thought it would be nice if no more people got hurt in the war. Aren’t you really nice?’
“… ….”
Kya. Scarlett, I’m giving Dina a lot of compliments on you.
‘You should thank me. Really.’
Somehow, I even said what I read in [Outside English], But…… Well, it doesn’t matter.
‘Because it’s not even important.’
But somehow, Dina’s expression seems to have gotten a little darker.
‘Oops. You’re jealous.’
Even in [Oeyeong-do], She emphasized that she has a strong desire for exclusivity throughout her life.
She probably doesn’t like the fact that she seems friendly with Scarlett, whom she’s plotting.
How do I relieve my mood? In fact, should I say she’s not very friendly? Once I was about to open her mouth to make an excuse, Dina spoke again.
“…… You must be on good terms with her?”
Since Dinah is jealous, I wanted to tell her that we didn’t get along very well, but she would be weird if I said that she just said that and we’re not close.
“Yes. They are on good terms.”
Then Dina leaned over to me and said, “Huh.” And she snorts. Are you measuring each to kill?
“How close are you?”
Now that you’ve come this far, it’s probably better to just answer honestly.
“If Scarlett is in danger, she is friendly enough to run to her rescue.”
This is not a lie.
Although it is said that it was an entrance ceremony test made of fantasy, it was the first colleague who entrusted his back and fought together.
She wouldn’t even know it was a test…….
‘You must have thought that my life was at stake, but you took the lead in fighting alongside me.’
To be honest, I don’t think I can expect much from force yet, but as of now, the one I can trust the most is Scarlett.
She has already risked her life for me, so if she is in danger, she has no reason to hesitate to save her.
‘I’m going to make it so it won’t be dangerous in the first place.’
Dina stares at me for a moment. Somehow, it seems that her mood has gotten worse…….
“…… Then, how long have you two known each other?”
“Huh? Is it from yesterday?”
“… Yes? From yesterday?”
Dina asked back as if she couldn’t understand.
“Yes, we first met on the way to school on the day of the entrance ceremony.”
Dina’s expression rapidly darkens. She said that there seemed to be something different about that expression from before, and she said… ….
‘What is it? Why are you crying all of a sudden?’
My appearance was almost expressionless, but my senses, strengthened by [Sixth Sense], Could detect even faint emotions.
If the emotion earlier was ‘a little anger’, now it is ‘sadness’… No ‘upset’?
‘What did I do wrong again?’
Did you just have something to be upset about?
“…… There is something I left behind. Go first.”
After saying that, isn’t it going back the way you came?
“… ?”
‘Sitpal, why do you look like a real woman?’
For me, a mother-in-law, female-like reactions and emotional changes are uncharted territory.
I don’t know how to deal with it when it comes out like that.
‘Isn’t she actually a real woman? The acting is real.’
Surely that guy could fool even my [Sixth sense].
Because he’s that much of a munchkin.
‘Ah, I don’t know. I should go back and rest.’
She and she both have to act as S class supervisors all week, but I want to take a break for now.
Since my physical condition was so bad right now, just walking at Dina’s pace was quite an ordeal.
She dragged her tired legs back to the dormitory.
*
‘Ugh… …. It’s too awkward.’
It’s happened a few times already, but it was so awkward walking down the street with Siu.
I want to talk to you, but should I say I’m too nervous?
‘What do friends usually talk about?’
I wanted to keep her conversations going as if they were among her normal friends, but it was too difficult for her as she had no friends for so many years.
It would be better if the other person spoke to her, but he was just glancing at her.
How long has it been? Suddenly, Siu opened his mouth.
“Hey… ….”
Could it be because I was focusing too much on him? My body was so stiff that I only turned my eyes to look at him.
Then he suddenly shut his mouth tightly.
Just that alone caused a stir inside Dina.
‘What is it? What was he trying to say?’
Of course, I had no idea what he was trying to say.
So this time, I mustered up the courage to try and talk to him.
“Excuse me.”
I was taken aback by my own voice, which was louder than I thought, but I pretended nothing was wrong.
“Yes?”
Siwoo looks at himself. He forgot what he was trying to say in an instant as their eyes briefly met.
‘What was I trying to say?’
Embarrassed, I brought up a story that had been in the back of my mind since yesterday.
“That, the red-haired woman I was with all day.”
‘Am I stupid? Why are you talking about that woman here!’
While he was blaming himself for bringing up this topic of conversation, Siwoo replied.
“Scarlett? Using Zweihender.”
‘Your name was Scarlett, right? At this point, she needs to find out what’s going on.’
“Yes. She is him That, maybe.”
When she was about to ask how their relationship was, Siwoo interrupted her and started spitting out compliments about Scarlett like a rapid-fire cannon.
“You are interested in Scarlett! He’s really nice! Her personality is also on the very righteous side, so if her friend is in danger, she will immediately rush to rescue her, and her personality has a puppy-like side, so it’s even cute!”
‘I’m interested in a woman like that! That, she’s cuter than that?!’
Could it be that Siwoo already likes Scarlett!
It shouldn’t be. If he ends up dating Scarlett, he’s less likely to get close to Siu.
Nothing is as bad as approaching someone who has an owner.
No matter how much I wanted to be close to Siwoo, I couldn’t do that.
‘Couldn’t they be dating already?’
“…… She must be on good terms with her?”
Let’s say that.
“Yes. They are on good terms.”
He answered without any hesitation.
“Huh… ….”
‘Seeing you answer like that, we might not be dating yet.’
But you have to make sure.
“How close are you?”
“If Scarlett is in danger, she is friendly enough to run to her rescue.”
Hearing her words, Dinah felt a tingle in the back of her head.
His words sounded as if she would be willing to give up even her life for her sake.
It also sounded like it was not worth living in her world without her.
‘Already… …. Is she loving that much…….’
This might not be the place for me to intervene.
Dina thought so, and she asked one last time.
“…… Then, how long have you two known each other?”
And the answer I heard was unexpected.
“Huh? Is it from yesterday?”
‘Since yesterday? Not last year, but yesterday?’
She emphasized the question as if to instill her conviction.
“Yes, we first met on the way to school on the day of the entrance ceremony.”
Her words warmed her heart a little.
For some reason, I felt like I was about to cry.
“…… There is something I left behind. Go first.”
After Dina walked away from Han Siu, she teleported right into her room.
She thought, sniffling as she lay on her bed, her face buried in her pillow.
‘…… If so, she might not be dating yet.’
If the two of you were lovers, you would have given up… If you’re not in any relationship yet.
“… It’s still safe to intervene.”
There is still a chance to turn his heart back to himself.
