Gran’s words may just be a formality, and he may not really want to reconcile. I didn’t like being bullied, though it was strange to say that. There is a possibility that Justina is right. “I’m honestly glad that you’re angry for me. When I stroked her head, Justina made a strange noise. “What, Alto? I don’t know what else to say.” Thinking it would be best to leave it there, I interrupted Justina. It’s just a matter of being carried away by the mood of the moment, and then quickly turning your palm to…” I don’t know how much of this is true… From my point of view, it’s very suspicious.
I wanted to punch myself in the face for doing something so stupid. Visit lightnovelreadercom for extra chapters. I asked him why he was helping me and he said, ‘Do you need a reason to help someone.’ ” I was getting tangled up with a bunch of jerks, and he stepped in. “I haven’t done anything for him, but Estenia still helped me. Gran nodded with a pained look on his face. You’re not really thinking about apologizing, you’re just calculating and stepping into Alto’s mind.” That’s what you’re thinking, isn’t it? In other words, you’re calculating. “Didn’t you see that and get scared? We might get abused by Alto this time, just like we had been doing to him. The trigger was… the last exam, right? Alto showed a tremendous amount of strength, and went from being unranked in the practical examinations to quickly rising to the top of the list, finishing 11th!”īy the way, the first place went to Justina. “First of all, why this timing? That’s what’s unnatural. Not as angry as the anger she directed at Cedric…īut… she almost perceived her classmates, who had pretended not to see me, as enemies. In a way, you’re worse than Cedric, aren’t you?” “That’s also self-satisfaction, isn’t it? You pretend that you have no ill intentions and so he has to forgive you. But I also feel that I have done something really bad to Estenia. Then let’s apologize… this is like that, isn’t it? You guys are just being selfish, aren’t you? I apologized to Alto because I don’t want to carry any guilt and I want to forget it. But I still feel guilty that I left Alto out in the cold. “I couldn’t be sure that Cedric was really gone, and I didn’t even try to find out… I just looked at Cedric, shaking and in fear. “Cedric’s been gone for about a month now, you know? So why would he say something like that at this point in time? If you’re going to apologize, shouldn’t you normally apologize sooner?” I looked at her and saw that she looked incredibly unhappy.Īt some point, she looked just like she did when she confronted Cedric. Justina’s cold voice interrupted my thought. I’d like to believe that they didn’t really mean it. It was just that they couldn’t oppose Cedric and were forced to do so. But I want to put an end to all this.”Īt Gran’s call, the classmates looked at each other. If you’re asking me how I could be so afraid of Cedric and so abusive to Estenia, you’re right. “Hey… guys, let’s not do this kind of thing anymore, okay? I don’t enjoy spending time with Estenia like that, treating him like a tumor. But I really wanted to apologize! Estenia saved my life yesterday, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for myself for abandoning you. “I know you think it’s too late, and I know it’s convenient. It may be a convenient interpretation, but that was how I saw it. To draw attention to it and make it your own punishment…?Īnd maybe he has talked to other classmates…
Of course, Gran had the attention of our classmates. It was not the kind of thing one wanted to talk about in a public place like this. When Estenia was being bullied, I turned a blind eye. “Problems… There has been one ongoing for a long time. “Umm… Why are you apologizing? Did you have some kind of problem with me that I didn’t know about?” I can’t think of any reason for him to be apologetic. In response to me, Gran became awfully serious… I couldn’t think of anything, and I couldn’t help tilting my head. I don’t have such a bad memory that I can forget something that happened just yesterday.” As expected, you seem to remember me this time.” Well… anyway, that’s the kind of man he was. I had been thinking of bears now for a while. If I had to compare him to something… I would say he was a friendly bear. However, even though he looked scary, he had a certain charm about him. In proportion to his body, he had a rugged face. He must have been close to two meters tall. He had a large body, vaguely reminiscent of a bear. I was going to do what makes Justina happy. Was that how valuable I was to Justina? I didn’t know, but… She was so happy to be able to talk to me. Justina was happy to talk about nothing in particular. I placed my bag next to my desk and sat down in my chair. The morning came about as usual, and I went to school with Justina.
