29 – Lu! Me

Truly, treacherously, I don’t see a big problem with things that didn’t exist in the first place.

You feel a great lack of something that was once gone.

Rumi felt that those words applied exactly to her, and she slowly cupped her face.

‘Why… ‘Why aren’t they looking at this side?’

I guess she got tired of being a nuisance after saving her.

Or maybe she doesn’t pay attention to her because she likes a girl named Delia, who she recently started hanging out with.

No matter what she was, she felt like she was drying up with each passing day, and it felt like her heart was tightening.

‘Then, of course, I should speak first… ‘Is this okay?’

I wanted to talk to you right away.

I am a bit hesitant because I feel like the Heavenly God Church is trying to make not only me but also Dern unhappy.

So, as she was walking down the empty hallway, thinking for a while, the unique scent of cypress trees suddenly lingered in her nose.

“… Dern?”

She called her name and looked around her, just in case.

I can’t even see a similar figure, let alone Dern’s appearance.

She seemed to be mistaken and was about to turn around when she saw Dern’s fiancé walking from a distance.

‘… Student president.’

If I were to describe her in one word, it would be right to say that she is the complete opposite of herself.

‘Unlike me, it’s perfect… A noble and noble person who is not bound by anything.’

She believes that she is an ideal person created by gathering only the elements she wants to be, and she is infringing on the prosecution.

As she gradually approached, she was able to notice that ‘her scent’ was becoming stronger.

“…… “

Why does the body emit such a strong scent of Dern?

The fact itself was difficult to accept, so I denied the reality at first.

The more you deny it, the more your guess turns into a certainty… In the end, I came to firmly believe that this was the truth.

‘… Why?’

Why does the student council president’s body smell like Dern?

The answer to that question immediately came to mind, ‘Isn’t it because we’ve been together for a long time?’

I bit my lip, trying hard to deny this.

‘No… That can’t be possible. Even though they were engaged to each other, Dern… ‘

In her head, she tried to make excuses on her behalf, saying that Dern was not that kind of person.

When she thinks back on what Dern did to her when they first met, she finds it hard to even say no.

She had no choice but to give up her defense.

“… Tsk.”

Since she couldn’t deny it, she had no choice but to accept at once the things she had been pretending not to know.

Starting from this, she is facing all the negative thoughts she had been avoiding.

Suddenly, a piece of ‘clothes’ in the student council president’s arms catches my eye.

‘Men’s clothes?’

I looked at it closely because I thought something was strange, and it was not difficult to recognize that it was one of the clothes that Dern had worn before.

‘…… ‘

Why does the student council president have Dern’s clothes?

Something was strange, so I stared at it and slowly made a guess.

‘Did I pick up something that had fallen? Or did he borrow clothes from Dern? If not that too… ‘Did I steal it?’

I don’t know which of those three is true because there is no evidence.

It didn’t seem like it was stolen since it was carried around too openly.

‘… That said, it seems like I picked it up or borrowed it.’

Considering that the student council president’s body also has a strong scent of Dern, it may be correct to say that he borrowed it.

As soon as such a thought came to her mind, a strangely ‘shameful’ thought crossed her mind.

‘I am… ‘I can’t even talk to Dern for fear of being harmed.’

I can’t help but feel envious of someone who met a good family member and easily achieved the title of ‘fiancee.’

For the first time in my life, jealousy wells up to my throat in such a reality.

“Ah.”

Why do I keep doing this these days?

I think I have no idea why I keep having negative thoughts.

She pinched the back of her hand tightly and tried to shake off these thoughts.

‘Student president too… Because the student council president must have his own difficulties. Therefore … ‘Let’s not be too jealous.’

She is thinking like that and closing her eyes tightly.

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.

I thought that if she returned those clothes to Dern, she might be able to share her story with Dern.

‘Plus, if you’re lucky, you might get praise from Dern.’

She slowly opened her eyes, feeling that no matter what, things would go in the ideal direction.

‘But… Because I don’t think they’ll just give it to me. ‘Do you think it would be a good idea to bring it secretly?’

It looks like he is holding Dern’s clothes very carefully. She felt the need to do something to get it, since it seemed like she wouldn’t give it up easily even if she said she would deliver it on her behalf.

So, while she was thinking about what method to use, she suddenly remembered that she had the status of ‘student president.’

‘If there is a problem with the student council president, there is a high probability that she will go to see it in person.’

If I use this, I might be able to get those clothes more easily.

So, for now, let’s use this…

‘…… Uh?’

When the plan was building up step by step.

Suddenly, my senses returned and I realized what I was doing.

‘Theft.’

No matter what positive words he added, what he was about to do was nothing more than theft.

The moment this thought crossed my mind, I was about to give up on the plan.

Strangely enough, an ominous thought crossed his mind that if he didn’t succeed in the plan, Dern would no longer be interested in him in the future.

‘That’s… ‘I absolutely hate it.’

No matter what happened, she wanted to avoid that, so she squeezed her hand and looked at the student council president’s back.

The moment she decided to put her plan into action, she immediately went to one of the student council members and told them that ‘a big problem has arisen at the old academy building.’

“A problem has arisen at the old school building?”

“Yes, yes. There were just a lot of people there… Gather together… “He’s doing things that are hard to talk about.”

Maybe it was because I knew that a lot of delinquent students gathered at the old school.

Even though she lied, she doesn’t seem very suspicious.

As soon as she saw that she was a member of the student council, she quickly added one thing.

“Originally, I was going to visit professors… “Everyone was away, so I had no choice but to visit the student council president.”

“Ah.”

Fortunately, perhaps because it is still early in the morning, they also seem to believe this.

He nods his head at his words and hurries inside, saying, ‘I will report to the student council president.’

As I was looking at him like that, I decided to slowly hide nearby and wait for them to come out.

‘If only to avoid responsibility, I will try to check whether what I heard is true or not.’

I could take advantage of this and sneak into the student council president’s office.

‘In addition to that. When I think back to how I was carefully holding Dern’s clothes earlier.’

The probability of bringing Dern’s clothes to a place where there is a problem is extremely low.

There was a high probability of leaving clothes in the student council president’s office.

As I was hiding while making that decision, I saw two students, including the student council president, come out and move quickly.

After discovering this, he slowly moved his body and manifested mana.

‘… ‘Invisibility.’

It was a magic of a somewhat difficult difficulty level.

After causing trouble to Dern, she did not want to cause trouble again, so she had no idea that what she had studied so hard would be put to use in this way.

With those thoughts in mind, I carefully entered the student council president’s office and picked up Dern’s clothes inside.

‘I found it.’

I didn’t like the fact that the student council president’s unique smell was mixed with Dern’s scent.

Still, since she was now in her own hands, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

‘Still, I don’t like it a little bit.’

He hugged her clothes tightly to his chest, deciding to bury his own scent instead of her student council president’s scent.

I quickly got out before anyone else saw me.

Although she worked so hard, she brought Dern’s clothes.

When I tried to talk to her face to face, her face kept getting hot and I couldn’t talk to her.

‘I feel really stupid.’

I don’t know why I keep doing such stupid things over and over again.

Around this time, she was pouring out all kinds of bad words to herself.

She catches Dern staring at her from afar.

“…… “

I feel embarrassed by such gazes and am avoiding gaze.

Dern suddenly stands up and she begins to slowly approach him.

Is something wrong?

She was shivering, wondering if her clothes had been torn somewhere when they were brought in, or if they had caught her own scent so much that Dern had sensed her disgust.

She said something that Dern had never expected.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“… “A story?”

“Okay. I have something to say.”

No matter how much she thought about it, she could only think that the reason she wanted to talk was to reprimand herself.

She stood up from her seat fidgeting, thinking that she had done something wrong.

Dern spoke briefly as he led her down the hallway.

“From now on, I will give you a guest room in my house. “To live there.”

“…… ?”

She thought she was going to be told not to approach.

She tells a completely opposite story.

At first she just blinked her eyes, wondering if she had heard wrong.

Dern still speaks with an expressionless face as if giving himself orders.

“I have to take responsibility.”

Responsibility… ? What responsibility are you talking about?

I’m not sure, but let’s get her nod for now.

Dern looks at himself as if he is satisfied and goes straight into the classroom.

‘What kind of situation is this?’

Her mind is so confused that she can’t quite organize it.

Because of that, she is fidgeting and wiggling her fingers.

Suddenly, a thought flashes through her mind.

‘Now that I think about it, even though I did something bad… ‘I don’t really get punished.’

Going further than not being punished, I actually feel like I have been rewarded.

With that in mind, I thought that if I was doing it for Dern, it would be okay to do anything.

I looked blankly at Dern’s profile through the window outside the classroom.
