“I just wish everyone would die.”

Adolescent Ludwig Persia Vivian was a cynical person.

Born into a prestigious family, she was quick-witted. From a young age, Vivian was exposed to all kinds of dirty stories by secretly eavesdropping on the servants’ conversations.

I directly dealt with several groups of humans who were getting older. Her values began to be established from then on.

People are monsters who cause harm to others through their disgusting pretense and ugly nature.

There is one thing that everyone hates. Ludwig Persia For Vivian, it was a person.

On the outside, there are people who pretend to be more humble and honest than anyone else, but drop all the pretense. These are monsters named Hoengjok and Aristocrats.

There are those who pretend to be more loyal to their master than anyone else by making all kinds of fawns in front of them, but in reality, they live with swords in their arms. These are monsters called slaves.

There are those who are caught in the middle of nowhere, causing harm to others and being vulnerable to incitement. These are monsters called citizens.

“Then there are almost no people who are not monsters.”

In the end, the conclusion was drawn that most people are monsters. From then on, Vivian’s life was a series of ‘distinctions.’

That child is a monster because he doesn’t reflect on harm to others.

That person is a monster because he killed someone.

That person is a monster because he deceived and defrauded others.

That person is a monster because he ignored and neglected his terminally ill mother.

If you look at the newspaper and make distinctions with an expressionless face, the day will pass by before you know it. Whenever she finished making a distinction, she always said a sentence, as was her habit.

“I wish all the monsters would die.”

Extreme values lead to extreme conclusions.

“Sister. I learned how to ride a horse today. It took 2 minutes! Well done, right?”

“How can our Luna be so cute!”

“Hehe! I held you too tight, let go, let go..!”

“I don’t like it. I’ll be like this for the rest of my life with Luna!”

Although she divided people into two categories, she loved her family deeply. You should always make an exception for your loved ones. Vivian thought so.

She wanted to become someone who fights monsters and wins. Vivian, who did not have the strength to do so, chose acting.

In order to live in this society full of monsters, you need to hide yourself. Human Vivian will completely hide her true feelings from them so that they never know.

She made that promise again today as she flipped through a page of the newspaper and sipped coffee with three sugar cubes in it because it was so tasteless.

.

A few years later, she became the student council president of the academy. As time passed, her values also showed a clear change.

“Aaaa. Why did I do that? Huh?”

The prestigious student council president, who seemed perfect to everyone, slammed his head against the desk. Of course, this happened when I was alone.

“What is a ‘monster’ and what is a ‘human’.. Anyway, this guy’s puberty is the problem!! Why was I so stupid? Why did I judge people based solely on black and white?! Oh my god damn it..”

Since joining Beatus Academy, Vivian’s values have changed rapidly as she has made many good friends.

He went from being a pessimistic middle school student, a friendless outsider nobleman, to a student council president who is benevolent and praised by everyone!

“Our cute and precious students should never know about my past. That actually didn’t exist. Yes, yes, that’s right, Vivian.”

She looked at Luna’s photo to calm her mind and body. Then, I was able to return to being the prestigious student council president.

“Hmmm! I guess no one saw it..?”

Vivian, worried that someone might have seen her, glanced out the window of the student council room.

There is someone.

“…….”

Vivian almost lost her breath at the cold eyes that looked at her as if she was extremely pitiful.

He was a young man with black hair more beautiful than Black Crystal. Whether you look at it objectively or subjectively, he is very handsome.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to admire this boy’s face, but now there’s a problem to solve first.

Vivian, in luxury student council president mode, raised her hand and said with a bright smile.

“Hello? Have you heard?”

“What are you talking about?”

The boy tilted his head as if wondering. Good luck Vivian! Heaven hasn’t abandoned you yet.

She sighed with relief and continued speaking.

“It’s nothing. Looking at your outfit, you’re a freshman? What brought our friend to the student council?”

” While I was walking around, I heard a thumping sound so I came. ”

“E~i. It looks like our friend has really bad hearing! I’m sure they used a soundproofing spell, but did you hear anything else?”

“That kind of crappy magic can’t block my hearing. If I heard more…”

“What if you heard more??”

“Monster?”

“I see~ Hmmmm. Yes.”

Student council president Vivian was never embarrassed. She kept a smiling face until the end and closed the door very quietly.

Then, after casting the night sound spell more thoroughly, he spoke in a very quiet voice.

“It said Howlan Dyers…, right? Howlan Dyers. You need to be by my side from now on.”

She barely managed to hold on to her shattered mentality and thought about catching the boy.

Of course, Dyers heard everything. It seemed like something annoying was going to happen.

.

“You are this new student Dyers, right? Uh-so handsome! The black hair is really cool too~ Do you want to join the student council? I am the student council president.”

“Get out.”

“Dyers, I’m here! Would you like to join the student council this time?”

“I’m busy.”

“Dyers, I’m here again!”

“Even if you talk, they won’t listen, so you can’t persuade them logically. I’ll go away.”

“Dyers!”

“Oh really.”

“Magpie, I’m here again! Let’s eat together today too.”

“……”

I was obsessed with catching the boy for over a month. Even if you think about it, it’s really persistent.

“Hmm. I said as many as ten words today. If you keep going like this, it won’t be long before you start flirting with the student council. Then you can go and convince them not to tell you about the secret!”

She clenched her fists and promised again. We will definitely lure the magpie to our side within this week.

In fact, secrets didn’t seem so important now. A lot of time had already passed, but Dyers seemed to have no intention of talking, seeing as there were no rumors going around.

More than that, there was an error.

Since becoming student council president, there has not been a student who was not friendly to Vivian. Except for the boy I met just a moment ago.

To summarize Vivian’s psychology, it was like this.

If I do this, will you reject me? If I do this, you won’t accept it? her. I know it’s because I never give up. I don’t know, just accept it quickly.

She appeared perfect to everyone, but in reality she was just an ordinary student who still retained her childlike appearance.

The reason she clung so persistently to Dyers wasn’t just because he came.

“…It’s so similar to my old self that I can’t leave it alone.”

There is a conclusion I have come to as a result of stalking, or rather observing, him over the past few weeks.

He did not give his heart to others. I kicked away and ignored everyone who approached me.

Just like my past self who thought humans were monsters.

The reason Vivian changed was because she created a new relationship. She also wanted to open the closed door of Dyers.

This was sympathy.

“Now that I think about it, I always read books related to curses.. How should we talk about that?”

She persuaded the boy by bringing out curse-related keywords.

done.

This is it.

Dyers is now a paper slave, or rather, her loyal co-worker.

.

After joining the student council, Magpie worked harder than expected.

On days when we had to work overtime because we had a lot of work to do, it became a routine for the two of us to stay and talk about trivial matters.

When I get bored while working, I talk to the magpie and play around with it.

The magpie responds as if it is annoying and continues.

Back to work.

repeat.

Other people might think it was strange, but it was a very satisfying daily life.

I keenly realize how precious it is to have someone to talk to while working.

By then Vivian had changed her opinion of Dyers.

I thought he was a similar type of person to me before, but he was a much better person than that. To the point where he was very proud of himself for seducing the magpie.

He had a knack for making himself feel comfortable.

The student council president, who does not easily play pranks in front of others and acts perfect, has turned into Vivian, who constantly plays pranks and acts in front of magpies. Even so, it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The reactions that came out every time we joked were fun, and when we talked together, I deliberately took the time because I wanted to talk a little more.

She was good at acting and thought this was also a type of acting. Magpie feels a kind of pity that he should be taken care of because he is a similar type of person.

She looked at Dyers’ face, concentrating on his work. A man who concentrates looks handsome. This is no different from the law regardless of time and place.

Vivian suddenly thought.

Am I acting now?

Vivian closed her eyes and thought.

Maybe it’s not acting.

The smile that comes out as a conditioned reflex every time I see Dyers, and the corners of my eyes that curve. Maybe it’s not skillful acting.

Maybe this sympathy I felt every time I talked to Dyers.

Maybe this feeling isn’t sympathy, but a different kind of emotion I’ve never experienced before.

“What do you say?”

She chuckled and immediately denied that possibility.

It was later that Vivian learned about that feeling.
