Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death

“I don’t think he meant to hit me so lightly.”

“… Then how hard is it?”

“Look out of the way. I will do it.”

I think it was a really fortunate timing. What made me come to my senses at the moment when Hoan was aiming for the back of my head with his clenched fists pulled tight.

“You can’t do it.”

“John!”

I bowed to Adrine and looked around. And Adrine told me that.

“It’s a flimsy building, a bathroom under construction.”

“Ahh. no wonder.”

“no wonder?”

“I thought the scent didn’t suit you.”

Adrin, who wondered what she meant for a moment, blushed and said.

“Oh, it can’t be helped! I passed through an underground waterway.”

“It’s a joke. Wait.”

I looked toward the clock tower through the window in the bathroom wall. It was 0:55. Judging from the fact that his head was still pounding, the aftereffects of using [Goblin Illusion] had not completely resolved.

“I think the roll call is over… Could it be a problem?”

“It won’t matter. Officially, we practiced for a play until late. Shall we leave?”

I walked out, leading the rather bewildered Joan and Adrine. Leaving the restroom under construction and outside the administrative building where the rain is pouring.

I didn’t even wear a raincoat, feeling like I was taking a shower, which I had to do anyway. It didn’t feel bad to wash away the stench that covered my body.

“John… Are you breaking up like this?”

“Because it’s late… If you go to your dorm room, you’ll probably find a play script from your literature teacher. Please read it when you have time.”

In the original work, the literature teacher directly transcribes the excellent work he selected and distributes it to the children.

“The title of this performance is… You said Romeo and Juliet, right?”

“yes.”

“What did you mean by having me in the play?”

“You will find out.”

“when?”

“After reading it.”

Of course, the script for the play is based on Shakespeare’s masterpiece of the same name. But when I turned in my homework, I did as much adaptation as I needed. Perhaps, I hope that it can solidify the likability that needs to be maintained between the main characters.

I stood still for a moment, but I didn’t hear footsteps receding.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

“… ”

Still couldn’t hear footsteps. The sound of the rain continued for a long time, and Hoan’s voice interrupted it.

“miss. You catch a cold.”

“… .”

The Guardian Knight’s voice is a bit muffled. It was probably because of the internal wounds caused by trying to hit the stones thrown by the Chimera.

“Isn’t Yohan going to the dormitory?”

“yes. I’m going to stop by the auditorium and then go.”

“Are you going to practice at this time? … Shall I go with you?”

“no. You don’t have to. I’m going to see if there’s anyone waiting.”

“… Then we can just go.”

Adrine hesitated for a long time even at Hoan’s urging. I wonder if a minute or so has passed. She struggled to open her mouth.

“Do you have a question.”

“You do.”

“I want you… How should I treat it?”

“how?”

“Should I treat you as a devoted god, or as a young master of the Empire who entered the academy?”

I know why she asks that question. It’s my relationship with her, who has already raised enough likeability through the [First March] event. Nevertheless, there is one reason why he does not enter into a full-fledged love route with Adrine.

she is conflicted

Because God is an object of worship, not an object of love.

Although I have an idea to attack all the love routes under Escomin’s hint, I need to be delicate about the order and timing. At least I have to avoid the ending where Sabaki’s sword goes to the goal.

In the end, my answer has no choice but to be ambiguous.

“Treat them as you please.”

My words may have sounded a bit cold. Adrin looked at her toes for a long time before turning her back. The place I have to go anyway is the opposite direction to them. Anyway, I am not a participant in the preparation of this play, but a subject.

After they disappeared, I looked up at the wing-shaped sculpture in front of the administrative board for a moment. I had a conversation with Miri here. It wasn’t raining like it is now. The shock of that time is still there.

The fact that even though she has the same look and voice as Miri, she is just a game character. The fact that she doesn’t know about me, ‘Jung Yo-han’.

And I don’t know exactly how the [only one god] event predicted by the system log will appear. I opened my inventory and looked at [Escomin], but there was still a lot of time left.

shoot aaa-

In fact, it may not be a situation that is technically too far-fetched. Of course, today’s harvest is certain. 3 [Perm Flesh] and the Chimera’s deterrence that must have gotten stronger and stronger.

And the growth of the ability points obtained at the same time as defeating them is an achievement that could not be better than this.

However, even at this moment, the rainwater filling the canal is also a medium for Kirov’s magic.

If Ong is really raising the difficulty by delaying her appearance, then I have to force what she’s doing to bring it to the surface. After she reaches the level of an archmage, any attempt I make is too late. Therefore, I must first strengthen the relationship between the main characters and then confront and defeat her.

Shoot aaa-

You can’t stand like this indefinitely. I started walking towards the auditorium.

The road from here to the main auditorium is relatively easy. However, there were puddles of water all over the school building, which had been raining for a long time.

I’m walking towards the auditorium like this, but I think the probability that someone is waiting for me is 50%. And that ‘someone’ is narrowed down to two people.

If those two waited for me, it would still be a situation where I could be relieved about the affinity with them, which I was worried about.

I hurried my feet.

***

Ida was crying bitterly. On the width of her skirt was a play script with the words ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written on it. Evangeles took a little resentment toward her.

“Stop crying, you girl.”

“But… that’s too much… Two people in love… black… black… ”

“Here, loosen your nose.”

“… Great.”

Ida puffed on the handkerchief her brother had given her and blew her nose. Her eyes were red like rabbit eyes, and Evangeles, who was about to say something harsh, sighed instead of holding back.

“Let’s go. You’re not coming.”

“I will come… If you are going, oppa, go alone.”

Evangeles knew. When Ida is stubborn like this, words don’t work at all.

Being alone with a brother and sister in a large auditorium can be quite lonely. Of course, if Ida had kept her mouth shut.

“Oh… Kkeuk… ”

It was a repeated pattern that continued after the children who read the script went back. Before Evangeles could feel any anxiety, Ida exploded again.

“why! Whoops! Why, why not!”

“… hey.”

“Why two people in love! Hurting me!”

“… Did I! Why are you hitting me?”

“Huhhh! It’s so sad.”

“If you’re going to beat him, beat John!”

“Where is Brother Yohan going to hit you!”

At the same time as Evangeles said, ‘Then I am!’, a clanking sound echoed through the auditorium. It was the sound of the auditorium door opening. Evangeles and Ida’s heads turned almost at the same time. At the entrance to the auditorium, a familiar figure cast a shadow.

It was John.

drenched in rain.

“Brother John! Brother John!”

Ida frantically ran towards Yohan who appeared. But Evangeles ran faster than her. Before long, Evangeles grabbed John by the collar.

“hey. Was it really like that?”

“what are you doing. Why are you grabbing Yohan by the collar!”

“Hey, look out of your way.”

Evangeles screamed as he pushed his sister, who was trying to untangle herself.

“Is it really like that!”

“Let me understand the words.”

Then, Evangeles threw the script of the play that was in his arms to the floor and said.

“this!”

“What is that?”

“Did you think that my family would look down on you because your family was ruined?”

Yohan had a calm expression on his face, but inside he sang for joy. The modifications he made to the original ‘Romeo and Juliet’ are having the desired effect.

There is only one crystal that can explain the distance she had with Evangeles and the ambiguous distance she had with her younger brother.

Keeps the plot and setting of the original, but with only one change added by himself.

In the script he wrote, Romeo’s family was additionally explained in the middle of the play. That family was ruined by gambling.

Like the Espertz family.

And the explanation that the Juliet family owns a large vineyard is revealed in the middle.

It was clear to see how Ida and Evangeles, who had read the script, would have accepted the story. And it wouldn’t be strange if they felt a little unfair.

The Hermes family is also famous for its good character.

Not only Evangeles and Ida, but even their father, is someone who doesn’t look down on the Espertz family’s gambling ruin. In particular, Evangeles’ father was rather a person who appreciated John’s character.

“Tell me, it’s a baby!”

Sometimes anger, not kindness, explains the friendship. Feeling that the story was told as he intended, Yohan said with a deliberately gloomy expression.

“That was a story to me.”

“Fuck. what a story!”

“I wonder if I can really make Ida happy… You won’t be unhappy because of me… .”

“Turn off.”

Ida, unable to hold back her sorrow, buried her face in the width of her skirt. Evangeles also untied his grip and turned his head slightly.

John struck a decisive blow at him.

“sorry… Evangeles, what I didn’t tell you right away… I can’t help it even if it’s a qualification. I… Unlike you, my family was ruined by shameful things.”

Evangeles’ voice was watery as he said, ‘You bastard’. Although he learned martial arts at a young age, this soft-hearted character is probably shedding tears in silence.

And the results of this skit also appeared in the system log.

[Relationship with Evangeles has been restored.]

It was a satisfying message. Now, I just need to keep my relationship with this guy good again from now on. Ida, who had been crying for a long time, spoke in a hoarse voice.

“By the way, why are you so late? … Who is Adrine?”

Of course, I meant to tell them what happened today. I planned to lead them little by little into a relationship where I shared my secrets.
