“It’s an emergency. emergency!!”

As soon as we left the general store, the children gathered in Fran’s dorm room.

Only Gabriel, who had suddenly become involved among us, looked puzzled.

“What do we do?”

“I know. What should I do?”

“The boss suddenly said that you guys would have to go to the military soon. Did you feel dizzy?”

“I worked really hard not to show off.”

There was a reason why the children made such a fuss.

Enlisting in the military a little early wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that if I enlisted in the military early like this, the plan I had made with Franc would be ruined.

“What should I do?”

“Why not just run it a few months earlier?”

“You said the reason you don’t touch him is because he’s a minor. He’s so stubborn that if he doesn’t do it, he’ll never do it. “Without exception.”

When I realized that my friends were secretly thinking about what I was thinking, I was moved to tears.

Just worrying about joining the military would give you a headache, but aren’t you thinking about your own situation?

“I have no idea what the hell is going on.”

“Gabriel, aren’t you a little embarrassed because you don’t know the situation? Actually, how did this happen… .”

Ariando told Gabriel, who did not know the situation, the story of the relationship between him and his uncle.

Gabriel was surprised and said to me.

“Are you okay? ”

“are you okay.”

“You must be very heartbroken. It must have been planned with great intention. But I think it worked out better. A relationship that is only about the body is an unhealthy relationship. “I think it’s good to slowly open your mind with the mindset of starting over again.”

Gabriel said something strange, saying that it was a good thing that the situation had turned out this way.

“Oh, that’s not it. If we enlist, we’ll be stranded for 10 years, and who knows, maybe he’ll have a baby in that time. If I were to come back and seduce you then, would you accept it? No, wouldn’t it be more of a problem if I accepted it?”

That is correct.

Since he had to enlist in the military soon, he didn’t have enough time to properly flirt with his uncle.

That’s why I made a plan to foul.

I didn’t think I could keep hiding that fact when my friends cared so much about me.

On the day I was alone with him, I couldn’t tell him in detail because I got the feeling that he knew he would come back soon after seeing him return.

‘Indeed, in that short period of time, something incredible happened.’

I was embarrassed, and even though I had made a promise, I didn’t tell my friends because I still had to wait and see if it would actually be kept.

I felt like now was not the time to hide it because I was embarrassed.

“Actually… !”

“Ahh! I’m dying of frustration. “Is there any way?”

I was about to tell the truth, but my friends were already not listening to me.

“If you join the military, you won’t have much personal time for a while, right?”

“Shall I ask my mother for a favor?”

“Are you going to ask me a favor when you said with a straight face that you didn’t want to owe your mother anything?”

“It’s not someone else’s business, it’s a friend’s business, so I can do that much.”

“Rather than burdening someone else, shouldn’t you just go on a formal vacation?”

“I just joined the military, how can I ask for leave? “It doesn’t make sense.”

“I heard there was a monster attacking the front lines.”

“Ah, that’s right. “There was that.”

“I won’t be able to take a vacation until I resolve all that.”

The children sigh deeply.

At that time, Ariando spoke.

“Eh? “If you can’t go on vacation because of monsters, isn’t that an easier situation?”

“It’s easy?”

“huh! All we have to do is go and wipe them all out. And let’s proudly ask for reward leave.”

“… “Is this possible?”

“Ohh?”

The children’s eyes light up at the unexpected solution.

I hurriedly said, because I thought the children would really do dangerous things if I continued like this.

“It’s okay if I don’t do it anymore.”

“Are you going to give up completely?”

“I heard you like me! You can’t just give up on something like this! “Is that all you wanted?!”

“You say you can catch all the monsters?”

The children, who misunderstood the statement that it was okay not to do anything, went into an uproar.

They misunderstood that I was giving up because they were worried that they were in danger.

I had to wave my hands and quickly make an excuse.

“no! That’s not it, I already had a conversation with him! That’s why I said it was okay.”

“conversation? “Are you talking about the day we left first and stayed behind to talk for a while?”

“yes! You promised me that day. Please accept me and not ignore me anymore.”

“what is this sound? “Tell me more about it!”

Fran hurriedly told me what happened with his uncle that day.

“So you confessed that you like me?! Did you confess and give permission?”

“No, Fran, you were acting so calm! You did everything you had to do! I’m so proud of you!!”

“sorry. I’m a little embarrassed, and the promise hasn’t been clearly kept yet… .”

I was going to tell you when I was sure.

I knew the children would congratulate me, but as you know, aren’t there children among my friends who don’t realize their own feelings?

Because it was a selfish choice, I became so ashamed and embarrassed that I couldn’t even lift my face when I saw the children who were truly happy.

‘I’m a selfish, bitch.’

When I heard that you and I were connected, I was scared that the child would realize his feelings.

Rather than feeling like I was still completely connected to my uncle, the relationship had stopped at a level where I was at least not treated like a child.

So, if possible, I wanted to tell you after I became an adult and had my feelings properly confirmed.

“You can do that if you’re embarrassed.”

This time, his friends readily believed his lie.

“You finally accepted it… .”

“How far has progress gone? “Has something changed?”

“There is no progress yet. “They just accept what I do.”

“If that’s the case, nothing has really changed from before.”

The children had strange expressions, as if they were somewhat despondent.

“Thank you for your concern, and I’m sorry.”

“no. I was helping you because you were having a hard time, and I didn’t intervene because I wanted to know everything that happened between the two of you. “I’m satisfied that it went well.”

It was quite disappointing, but Baine comforted me in a calm voice.

Along with my gratitude, I thought that with friends like these, there was no reason to hide my honest feelings.

“So, this means we don’t have to do what we planned?”

“yes. Thankfully, I think that will happen.”

“But isn’t it a bit of a waste to make a plan? “Isn’t the reason you didn’t tell us anything because you were trying to stick to your plan?”

Although a clear promise has been received, the only thing that has changed is a subtle change in attitude.

So, when I became an adult, I tried to act according to the plan my friends had made.

It was a clever calculation that he couldn’t refuse since he promised to accept it.

“It can’t be helped. “Enlistment is not something that can be avoided.”

“Since this has already come to an end, shall we give Hyuga a try without overdoing it?”

“But I think so. “Since the boss accepted the franc, I have to celebrate it even more on the day I become an adult.”

“yes?!”

“That guy is already quite popular with women. Wouldn’t it make you feel safer if you put a stamp on it?”

This was revealed to prevent the children’s reckless behavior, but somehow the children were getting more angry.

“You’re not the kind of person who would break a promise you made to me! “I believe it!”

“Oh my, can you take a look at this guy? Are you already taking care of your man?”

When I spoke in defense of the man, the children seemed to be having fun and poked me in the side with a sinister look on their faces.

“Yes, yes?!”

Ariando’s words, referring to the man as his man, make everyone’s face get hot.

Sometimes I feel scared, wondering if I would even dare to use such words.

“Ahaha, I’m going to cry if I keep doing this. “I need to stop teasing you.”

While the other children were talking cheerfully, Shine was seen making a slightly subtle expression.

“… But I kind of don’t believe it. That guy was extremely stubborn. But was that iron wall really due to age?”

Sure enough, Shine expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that it was hard to believe.

“What does it matter? “As long as the franc is good, that’s fine.”

The other children were unable to recognize Shine’s subtle attitude.

And suddenly, as I received Shine’s help, I realized that I was actually ignoring and swallowing the words for her.

How long can we be selfish?

Considering my relationship with Shine, it was right to end things now.

“… “There are people here like me who have feelings for you but can’t express them.”

“???”

“Franfranc, what does that mean?”

All the children look at me with puzzled expressions.

But it was impossible to close my eyes forever.

“You’re all adults now.”

“… … .”

“???”

“Before you regret it, I think you need to know your feelings clearly and put them in order.”

The person who showed the biggest change in expression upon what I said was Shine.

“Mr. Shine.”

“Why are you calling me suddenly?!”

Anyone could see that he was embarrassed, but he was actually denying it.

“Teacher Rebecca, not me, already has a good relationship with you. There are two of us anyway, so I don’t think it will make much of a difference if one more person is added.”

I hope that Shine doesn’t end up regretting being scared and ignoring his feelings.

If the reason she can’t be honest is because of herself.

Instead of doing that, I want to tell you to have courage.

It was as if he had gained more courage from them.

“No, I think it’s better to be able to hang out with friends who know who I am and who I’m close with, rather than with people I don’t know.”

“uh… . So, are you saying that among these people, there are more people than you who like the boss?”

Ariando nodded at his neat organization.

“yes that’s right.”

Shine was almost confirmed… .

It is true that Baine was liked, but it did not seem like he had clearly developed feelings for her.

However, I think that if an opportunity arises, that feeling can quickly turn into a deep feeling.

“… “I guess I shouldn’t have come here.”

Gabriel’s expression hardened as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

Ariando said, crossing his arms around Gabriel’s arm as if he had no idea.

“You’re in the same boat as us now! Even if we die, we die together, and if we live, we live together!”

First of all, Baine didn’t seem to have any intention of doing anything right away, so we decided to attack Shine.

He looked straight at Shine, who was speechless, probably confused, and said.

“Don’t try to hide your feelings and give up for no reason because of me. “I have received help so far, so now I want to help.”

Ariando clapped his hands at my declaration of aspirations.

Clap clap clap!

It was a rather cheerful applause to come out of the silence of the dorm room.
