Episode 18 The wind is not blowing well (3)
The Wolf class swept by a storm called Rachel.
Unlike the cadets who were babbling, I couldn’t open my mouth easily. Chloe’s expression was gloomy. Fortunately, she seemed to have come to her senses, but her face was covered in dark clouds and she looked gloomy.
It seems that he is quite upset that he was so helplessly subdued by Rachel. But if I may defend myself, I would say that the opponent was the 4th seat of Joaquin Academy.
That means that when it comes to Rachel, only three cadets out of 2,500 can gain the upper hand.
Moreover, since Changseongga is a family that marries the powerful men of the time and carries on only the strong bloodline, his innate brute force is likely to be the strongest in the school.
To be honest, it was Chloe’s fault for pulling out the knife first, but Rachel was the one who provoked him by telling him to attack first. It’s hard to say who was more at fault.
But the problem is that Chloe is in the same class as me, and we have to spend almost a year together, while Rachel is in the same class as me, which we rarely see each other in. I scratched my head.
It’s not like I can just say, “You pulled out the knife first.” If I do that, I’ll be the target of the next stab.
Chloe’s shoulders slumped as if she was discouraged. I felt sorry for her for some reason, and when I tried to comfort her by saying something, she hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth first, mumbling.
“…Do you like the big swordsman too?”
“what?”
“…Do you like that big chest of the swordsman too?”
“… … .”
Chloe raised her voice and sobbed with hopeless eyes.
‘That was the point that pissed you off?’
I was speechless. I thought she was just being unilaterally attacked, but it was because of her chest. For some reason, she had been holding her hands together on her chest and turning her head to look at me.
‘My heart… … .’
I thought, rubbing my chin.
Well, I’m not all that generous when it comes to breasts, but Rachel’s milky breasts were just too offensive, and Chloe’s weren’t that small either.
In the world of martial arts called Heart, the only woman who can compete with Rachel is Media? Even Abel is no match for her. The thought of turning most women into batteries flashed through my mind.
But if she were to be honest here, it would be like stirring up a beehive. Chloe was still holding the cutter knife in her right hand.
When there’s no sashimi, I’m no match for Chloe, who’s stronger than before. I don’t want to see blood as a reward for my tongue-twisting behavior.
In the end, the answer is set and all I have to do is answer. She’s still a young girl in the midst of her growth, so who knows?
… The chances seem a bit slim, I said, swiping my face once.
“I don’t really like big breasts.”
“… … .”
Chloe was glaring at me with her flounder eyes. Her hand still holding the cutter knife was still not strong. I added, drooling.
“Perhaps you would prefer something smaller?”
The sin of abandoning a man’s conscience, I will receive it sweetly someday. For now, life comes first.
“… Really?”
“huh.”
Then, Chloe’s face brightens. The smile she had lost returns to her lips. She wipes the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and then puts the cutter knife in her pocket. I let out a sigh of relief.
Chloe smiled faintly, tucking her slightly flowing red bob behind her ear. I’m not sure… but it might be a gesture to appeal as a woman.
The atmosphere that smells too much like spring is not good either. Of course, Chloe is a yandere. If she were to show any more affection for me, she would try to shove me into the refrigerator right away.
I had a gut feeling that if this situation continued, it would be really dangerous, so I quickly said something to change the subject.
“By the way. Chloe, that… Knox, how are you doing after that?”
At the mention of Knox’s name, a shadow fell over her face. It seemed that she disliked her brother quite a bit.
When Chloe thought about it, she wondered, ‘Why does she hate Knox so much?’ She hated the Auditore family, but Knox, somehow, seemed to have a mixed feeling of ‘hate’?
But I decided not to ask because I was a bit reluctant to dig into someone else’s family history. I wasn’t that curious. Even if I were deeply involved with that assassin’s family, I would just have to be careful walking at night.
As I was lost in thought for a moment, Chloe opened her mouth in a voice permeated with a faint dryness.
“My brother is currently hospitalized in the Academy Hospital.”
“Why are you hospitalized? There are no traumas in subspace training.”
Chloe shook her head in denial, her side hair now disheveled.
“… Actually, I don’t know for sure because I didn’t go and look, but from what I heard, it’s definitely not an external injury. So, there’s no need to worry, Mr. Geomma!”
“hmm.”
Even though I cut him up mercilessly, he didn’t seem so weak that his mental state would break down to that extent.
‘That kid, isn’t he harboring other intentions?’
Physiognomy is a science, and Knox’s emotionless, bitter mouth came to mind. Could it be that he was trying to lull me into a state of carelessness by hospitalizing me and then hit me in the middle of the night? It’s quite possible.
And ambush is his specialty. Of course, he could just stomp on you again, but that time, it felt like he was actually going to cut off your neck. Preventing an accident in advance would be one of the best ways.
“Chloe, can you tell me which ward and room Knox is in?”
“…yes!?”
Chloe opened her eyes wide in surprise. I smiled brightly and answered softly.
“Originally, men grew up fighting each other. Go and have a short conversation like a man.”
“…still.”
Talking to Chloe, I feel like her relationship with Knox isn’t entirely bad, but more like a love-hate relationship.
Chloe is chewing on her lips and drooling as if she’s worried about something. This is when I unleash my special move.
“Chloe.”
“yes?”
I lightly placed my hand on her head and stroked it. There was a smile on her lips, a smile that had been honed through many years of experience in the food service industry.
“Please.”
“… … !”
Chloe’s face turned red like an active volcano.
『How to Encounter a Yandere 1. First, pat her head. Then she’ll eat half of it and go in.』
It was a moment when I felt rewarded for studying on YouTube for a few days before going to bed.
* * *
Joaquin Academy’s ward VIP room.
Knox was lying in bed, shivering. Feelings he had never felt before were stirring. His heart was pounding.
The concentration of something rising from deep within showed no sign of abating even with the passage of time.
It was because of that kid.
‘Ganggeomma.’
Now, it was a name that I couldn’t even bring myself to say out loud. I could only mutter it silently to myself.
Every time the pitch-black eyes of the Ganggeomma passed through my head, I felt a tingling sensation in my body from the extremities.
It was a vivid fear that I was experiencing for the first time. It was painful because the anger towards that kid and the disgust towards myself were mixed together.
He lived his entire life without ever knowing defeat. No matter what his enemies were, they were cold and cold before Auditore’s genius, Nox’s ‘Hongryundo’.
That was until yesterday. Knox lost. No, it would have been better if he had just lost. The guy’s mood changed, and in less than a few seconds, he was mercilessly cut down like a sashimi fish.
It didn’t hurt to have my flesh cut off, but the excruciating pain of having my heart broken made me lose the will to get up.
I thought, ‘Would it be different if it were night?’, but when I thought about clashing swords with Kanggeomma, my body’s joints jumped in strange directions.
“Fuck!”
Knox slammed his teeth into the shelf next to him. The basket of apples, bananas, and other fruits clattered and bounced up. The metal shelf dented in the shape of a fist.
‘Kill. Kill. Kill.’
Yes, he can kill you. Nox’s true calling is assassination. With the power of all of Auditore, he could cut off the head of that bastard, Ganggeomma.
There was only one obsession that filled Knox’s mind.
‘I have to kill that guy and bring Chloe back.’
Chloe is Auditore’s subordinate. Moreover, her potential as an assassin is far beyond Knox’s own approximation.
It was at that time that the flame of revenge was burning coolly in his eyes.
Knock knock knock
A knocking sound permeated the white walls.
“Who are you!”
Knox narrowed his eyes and shouted a sharp voice through the door. As if in response, the sliding door to the sickroom slid open with a thud and ruthlessly moved to the side.
“grow.”
It was Ganggeomma. Nox flopped down on the bed with a dumbfounded expression. His jawbone popped. The fighting spirit that had been burning until just now suddenly died down as soon as he saw Ganggeomma’s face.
“You, you, you.”
My words stuttered unconsciously. My teeth hit each other so hard that my tongue almost got chewed. I managed to close my mouth by clenching my gums.
Kang Geum-ma walked towards Knox with his hands deep in his pockets. Then he pulled out a chair next to him and sat down, leaning back.
“I guess Auditore has a lot of money? He’s no joke in the hospital room.”
Without paying attention, he scratched the back of his neck and looked around the hospital room. It was probably just his actions, but Knox’s forehead became wet. The cold sweat that had gathered on his forehead began to flow down in a stream.
“Can I eat this?”
“… … .”
Kanggeomma asked, nodding to the apples in the basket on the shelf. Knox’s chin nodded slightly. It was the moment when he learned what an invertebrate reflex was.
“thank you.”
I picked up a juicy apple and took a big bite. Whether it was delicious or not, I ignored the juice spurting around my mouth and kept grinding my teeth.
Only the corners of his mouth moved, and no sound escaped from between Knox’s teeth. All he felt was pure fear. When he faced the guy, his stomach twisted and he felt like he was going to vomit.
As Knox covered his mouth, Kanggeomma grabbed the fruit in the basket without changing his expression. Could it be that he came here to see the end? Instead of reacting, his body froze in shock.
Kanggeomma tilted his head at the sight, took out an apple, and began to peel it gently. The apple peel, which was peeled so transparently that you could see through it, looked like silk. It was a possessed sword play that made you lose your mind.
“If you can’t eat rice, eat some fruit.”
He then placed the smooth, spherical fruit on the shelf. Even while doing so, Nox flinched. His body unconsciously reacted to every useless action of the swordsman.
“Well, it looks okay, so I’ll go.”
Kanggeomma stretched once, got up from his chair, and headed toward the door. Knox’s gaze quickly scanned Kanggeomma’s back and the fruits on the shelf.
‘If it’s now.’
The guy is defenseless. Knox slowly reaches out toward the shelf. He doesn’t even hear the sound of the hospital gown rubbing against his skin.
At that moment, Kang Geum-ma turned his head slightly back with the door half-open. Nox received a dreary look in his eyes.
“Oh, and.”
“… … .”
“If you plan on getting revenge on me.”
The air in the hospital room is stifled by the dry voice.
“I will dry up Auditore’s seed.”
widely-
The door is closed.
The apple on the shelf was split into eight pieces and spread out.
