A day when everyone has no choice but to be depressed.

monday.

But perhaps because they were all young, they were unexpectedly all laughing and chatting loudly.

In such a lively academy classroom.

“Hi Sarah!”

A girl who looks good with tulip hair color.

Ariel smiled at me.

“Hi Ariel. And..and hi Lily.”

Lily, who came to play in our class. Sitting next to me, quietly looking at me.

“Hi Sarah. What did you do over the weekend?”

“Uh..huh? I met a friend..”

For some reason, I felt a little intimidated by her eerie voice.

“Friend? Who?”

“Huh…? Ma…You wouldn’t know even if I told you?”

“Are you a man?”

“No..? You’re a girl?”

“…..”

After that, I swallowed my saliva as I looked at Lily, who was silently looking at me.

But I tried to pretend like nothing happened, sat next to her and smiled.

“What did Lily do over the weekend?”

“….I went home and came back.”

“Oh..I see.”

If I went home… I probably would have seen Sister Dania.

My heart ached slightly at the thought of my beloved sister.

‘…I wonder how my sister is doing.’

I always felt at ease when I was by her side.

I missed my sister’s cooking and her kind smile so much.

I’m sure your sister is doing well too, just like Lily.

I shook my head quickly a few times to shake off the sadness.

“Good morning everyone.”

Iris appeared from the side and said hello.

Actually, I saw her just yesterday. I decided to pretend not to see her and greet her back.

“Hi Iris. How was your weekend?”

Iris smiled sweetly at my words.

“Yes. I had a really good time.”

“What’s wrong, Iris? Why does your face look so pretty? Do you have a boyfriend or something?”

Ariel, looking at Iris’ face, smiled and joked.

But who knew that a joke would come back as a bomb?

“Hehe….I like it one-sidedly though.”

She says so.

She blushed faintly and smiled happily, like a girl in love.

Fighting-

In an instant, the noisy atmosphere of the class died down into a cold silence.

It was as if everyone was plotting something. Everyone was looking only at Iris.

“…What?”

Lily was the first to break the silence.

She looked at Iris with a bewildered expression.

And then the next thing that came out was a voice.

“Mu mu mu mu…..What…what..what are you saying?!!!?!?!?!”

It was Ariel screaming at the top of her lungs.

* * *

After the bomb left behind by Iris exploded.

The Academy was in total chaos.

Iris was one of the Academy’s most beautiful girls.

Such a beautiful face. Such an angelic personality. And on top of that, she has the nobility of a saint.

It would be strange if it weren’t popular.

When she said she liked someone, it had the same ripple effect as if a bomb had exploded in the middle of the city.

Lunchtime has arrived before we knew it.

“……”

“Uh…uhm…was it that shocking?”

Ariel glared at Iris without saying anything.

Iris smiled awkwardly, fiddling with her chopsticks.

Lily was also quite shocked. She just quietly put food in her mouth without saying anything.

And me too. I looked at Iris with a confused expression.

‘What on earth were you thinking, Iris…’

Iris herself probably knows how famous she is.

I’m sure they knew it would get this noisy.

As I looked at her with a puzzled expression, Iris took a short breath and opened her mouth with clear eyes.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance. Actually, it hasn’t been that long since we met…”

“…..”

“But. I don’t want to hide my feelings for him.”

Iris’s eyes as she spoke were infinitely serious and intense.

“……”

Ariel looked at Iris for a long time.

“Sigh…”

Soon, he let out a short sigh and started putting food in his mouth.

“Who is your opponent?”

Iris said with an apologetic expression at Lily’s words.

“I’m sorry..I can’t tell you because he doesn’t want me to…”

“Iris, I feel completely betrayed.”

When Ariel grumbled and stuck out her lips, Iris smiled sheepishly and changed the subject.

“Don’t you guys have anyone you like?!”

“”Huh?””

Lily. And a sound came out of Ariel’s mouth at the same time.

When they looked at Iris, Iris laughed and continued talking.

“They’re all pretty and have good personalities, so I think they’ll be popular.”

“….”

So there was a brief silence between us.

Ariel was the first to break the silence and speak.

She hesitated for a moment over Iris’ words, then cautiously began to speak, watching my expression for some reason.

“…Actually, there’s someone I’m concerned about these days.”

She speaks timidly, her cheeks blushing.

” in?”

I was confused by the story I had no idea about.

‘…..what?’

Ariel…?

Who the hell…?

“Ah..”

….no way.

There was one person who immediately came to mind.

Could it be Robin..?

Robin, the hero of the original novel and the protagonist of the harem party.

There was no one else Ariel could care about.

But if you don’t become a warrior, the incident of meeting Ariel will disappear.

How and when on earth did you seduce her?

‘….Isn’t he the main character for nothing..’

Are you saying that it’s okay even if there are no events?

I felt a little offended.

Some people are struggling like this, trying to find peace.

Who says he’s just flirting with women with good fortune?

That too, my friend Ariel..

He stuffed his food into his mouth, determined to embarrass himself the next time they sparred.

but.

“….I have it too.”

“Cluck! Cluck!”

I ended up spitting out the food I had just put in my mouth.

just now.

I felt like I heard something I shouldn’t have heard.

I looked for the voice’s whereabouts with trembling eyes.

Lily was picking at her food with an unreadable expression.

“Uh..huh? Li..Lily, what did you just say?”

My voice stuttered like a broken machine.

Lee… Lily…

no way..

No..?

It won’t be.

Surely not my little brother. That can’t be happening.

I don’t know about the others, but Lily…

But would the heavens be indifferent?

I had no choice but to despair.

“I like…no. I have someone I love.”

Her words shocked me like a bolt from the blue.

At Lily’s words, Iris and Ariel looked at Lily with their eyes wide open.

“What..what is it. You too..??”

“Oh my..! Congratulations Lily..!”

Unlike them, I couldn’t say anything.

Like a cuckoo struck by lightning, he just stared blankly at her.

“Good…sleep…good…”

I tried hard to raise my voice.

I couldn’t convey my feelings properly because of the trembling.

It’s definitely something to celebrate.

Because liking someone is a great blessing.

As long as Lily is happy, that’s enough.

If Lily is happy, then that’s enough…

– I will live with you for the rest of my life!

– Sister~ Give me a kiss!!

– Hehehe.. Sister..

– frozen..-

Memories of her came flooding back and tears welled up in my eyes.

Even though we’re not related now, I still feel lonely as if she’s leaving me.

I wanted to firmly believe that I had misheard, but Lily’s expression was infinitely serious.

‘…..Robin…’

..this son of a bitch..

You piece of trash, you thieving bastard…

You’ve given up your job as a warrior, and now you dare to seduce my sister, not to mention Ariel?

I decided.

I will never forgive Robin.

I will make you pay the price somehow.

I made that decision and swallowed the burning fire inside me.

While I was making that decision, Ariel continued the conversation.

“Still, it’s fortunate that we don’t have any overlapping likes. To be honest, I’m not confident in my relationship with you guys”

“Hehehe.. That applies to me too.”

“…….”

The three pretty girls, excluding me who was holding back tears, finished their meal while chatting happily.

* * *

[You seem to have a lot on your mind, disciple.]

‘You’re here…’

As I heard my teacher’s voice in my head, I mustered up my strength and answered her.

[Hmm… why is the grass so dead?]

‘…No…now…it’s okay…’

Not until now, though.

I was shocked to learn that Lily loved Robin. I’ve been in a state of total ecstasy ever since.

But in the end, was time the answer?

As time went by, one hour, two hours passed. My heated heart gradually calmed down, and I was able to look at the situation rationally.

‘…..Okay. Let’s accept it.’

If Lily likes it, then that’s fine.

If Lily really loves Robin…

I guess I should cheer you on.

Because I long for Lily’s happiness more than anyone else.

I cursed Robin earlier because I was so excited, but in reality, I didn’t hate him that much.

Although Robin had a harem, he was a very upright man.

Good looks, good personality, and distinct talent.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most promising groomsmen in the academy.

Given his personality, he would probably never betray or make Lily sad.

I’m not Lily’s mother. I have no right to interfere with her love.

…..In the end, if Lily wants it, she goes to Robin.

but.

But a harem is not allowed.

How dare you leave Lily and meet another woman..?

That was something I could never tolerate, even if it meant dying.

If Lily dates Robin.

Robin must look at and love only Lily.

I wondered if he would ever turn a blind eye to a child as lovely as Lily.

In the novel, Robin is the main character of a harem party.

He could have kept another woman by his side to spite Lily.

If that happens.

That’s when Robin will really pay the price.

A hundred times as much as it hurt Lily. No, a thousand times. No, ten thousand times. I will cause you pain enough to kill you.

“…Okay.”

[Huh? What do you mean?]

I feel sorry for Ariel who likes Robin… but I will take Lily’s side.

Ariel is a really good friend, but…Lily is my beloved family member and sister.

With that firm resolve, I looked ahead clearly again.

‘…..Lily. Just trust me.’

For your happiness, I will try.

This was the beginning of Lily’s so-called love fulfillment operation.
