When She Becomes a Witch

At dusk of summer

Something's wrong with my partner, Souzillo.

That was Chloe Neulai's every worry about this place.

He's kind of weird these days.

His face is slightly red, his eyes are not focused as blurry as they are loud, there are things up in the sky even when he talks to him, and his movements are swollen.

Maybe... he's not feeling well.

I guess I also had a light summer cold.

Besides, you must be forced to go to school because it's about him.

Sometimes he was an international student from a distant country, and Soudirou was really keen to study.

But if you keep pushing me like this, I'm sure one of these days...

He shakes his head plumply, and Chloe kicks his worst imagination out of his head.

When this happens, what can I do?

I don't think Souzillow will listen to Chloe. I know because I'm a partner. I can't do Souzillo. He's the one who gets mean, even when they say he's impotent.

Something else...

"Oh, Mr. Chloe Neulai. What's the matter with you? Classes are starting now, but I don't know if they're coming in."

Somewhere glossy voice. This.

Keeping his head up, Dr. Magnolia, also Chloe's instructor in charge, stood there.

While Chloe was thinking in front of the classroom, it seemed like it was time to start the class.

"Ah... su, excuse me. Right in the classroom."

"Wait a minute."

Gently, he was stopped from opening the door to Magnolia, and Khloe stopped moving.

"Mr. Chloe, if you have any troubles, you need to talk to me right away. That's why we have the instructor in charge."

With a soft grin, but with a serious voice, the teacher said so - Chloe was about to cry.

Yes, you don't have to carry him in alone.

After school.

Softly, Chloe walks down the hallway with a private faculty room.

This is not the first time I've talked to Dr. Magnolia here.

I have been visiting to talk about things I don't know in class and things that have stuck with me.

But this time it's a little different - not just about Chloe, but about Souzillo.

Magnolia Ray, and finds a plate written in English, takes a few deep breaths, then knocks on the door thoughtfully.

"Come in, you can come in."

The reply was immediate.

I put my hand on the door knob, but it kind of feels very cold and heavy.

Still, Chloe spun the knob vigorously.

"Excuse me!

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Chloe."

……

In that little room, there are two teachers. Women and men.

The female teacher, of course, is Magnolia, Chloe's instructor.

And male teachers say.

"I'm Ijad Sihave, instructor in charge of Souzillow Hino. Say hello today."

I narrowed my golden eyes a little and Dr. Ijad smiled at me. It's like telling Chloe to feel safe.

"Please, Mr. Chloe, sit in that chair."

"Yes, sir"

"You don't have to be nervous, I guess not. But it would be nice to talk to you as relaxed as possible. Dr. Ijad has a big body, but he's not scared of anything."

Dull, the teacher laughed as he rocked his small, light purple hair.

"... Dr. Magnolia, you're joking too much"

"Oh well, I'm sorry. Bye, Mr. Chloe."

"Yes!"

And Chloe starts talking to the two of us.

Worry that your partner, Souzillow Hino, has recently fallen ill.

"... oh, well"

"Hmm."

The two teachers look sinister.

Chloe is anxiously attacked, but it is an unexpected word to be called, wondering if she has been thought of as a student who is also unable to manage her partner's physical condition.

"Mr. Chloe. From what we've seen, Mr. Souzillow is health itself. Don't worry about it."

"... oh, nothing physically, there shouldn't be a problem"

Saudirou is healthy.

... but if so, why not?

Unexpectedly, I look at the two teachers with incredible eyes.

"But Soujiro Hino has a certain great problem. Mind problems also affect the body. I guess that's what you saw in your eyes as ill health."

"Trouble...... Soujiro has something to worry about?

"Yes, he was very, very troubled. And I came to talk to Dr. Ijad about yesterday."

Magnolia tells Chloe that only with a soft grin.

But Chloe - her mind seemed to be splitting right now.

"... why, why, Soujiro, didn't talk to me, we're partners, but what..."

I wanted to cry. But there are no tears.

How can he not rely on me when he's my partner?

If it can be solved after Chloe, I will help her, and if there is anything that doesn't lead to Chloe, I will make an effort to fix it.

Yet. Why?

"Oh. Don't get me wrong, Chloe Neulai. Souzillow doesn't hate you. On the contrary. That's why he's bothering me now."

"On the contrary..."

"I mean, he - he sees you as an attractive kid. That you are conscious of being a paedophile."

Dr. Magnolia's, slowly chews the words in his head.

... it's, I mean, Souzillow, about me.

The moment the thought came there, Chloe felt her cheeks get hot.

Unexpectedly keep your face down with both hands. I must have looked bright red like an apple right now.

No way.

But.

... Sure, then it also explains the strangeness of Souzillow's behavior here. It follows.

The two teachers stared at Chloe, bored with a bright red face, with a soft grin.

"Well, the teachers are pretty busy, too. This concludes the consultation!

"Oh, no, Dr. Magnolia"

"Kohon... well, it's a school for young people. Sometimes this happens. There are no school rules that prohibit socializing at the Alstromerian School... but moderation is like observing it, because you are both pre-marital."

"Chi, hold on, Dr. Ijad"

Chloe, in a state of confusion, was kicked out according to two teachers.

And the door closes mercilessly.

"I don't know... in this state... teachers are terrible..."

But I can't help but stand up in this place more than I've been kicked out.

Chloe walked in the hallway.

From time to time, the cool breeze of early summer cools my burnt face and my raised head.

Oh, well, Souzillo thinks so about me, and he's giving it to me.

Fluffy, wind blows on the pretend.

A gorgeous, refreshing, cool scent, kind of resembling a lavender scent, tickled my nose and disappeared.

Is it because of the scent? Softly, the excess heat disappears from my head.

... Will he still be on campus?

If I were, where would I be?

Meet Souzillow.

So determined, Chloe walked to the library first.

The library at the Alstromerian School is large anyway.

Of course there was plenty of books, and there was a couch and table for the students to read the book slowly, and there was a large desk and chair with a compartment so that they could study.

Of that large library, there was a figure of Souzillow Hino in front of the study desk.

Chloe leans softly behind him. Almost there, I thought I could reach my shoulder.

"Chloe, you haven't been home yet."

"Ugh, yeah."

I was trying to intimidate you, but I'm a little sorry and kind of embarrassed to have been spotted lightly.

"Was Souzillow the one who stayed and studied?

"Oh, I thought I was a little quick... to design some dresses for summer exams"

"Oh, well, look... okay"

"Oh, I don't mind. Because it's a dress for you to wear."

That said, he offered his usual white notes. The hand was a craftsman's finger, even though he was still studying, and Chloe loved it.

Peri.

In a quiet library at dusk, the sound of turning a notebook sounds.
