Today was a lucky day. Jenna thought so.

The orientation was boring though.

I decided to go to courage training with the friends I made after entering the academy!

Because I met a senior on the way!

Because I was so good at catching the falling cherry blossom petals!

“Heh.”

As he crossed his arms and made a triumphant expression, Ruran and Klose came running towards him and said.

“Jenna..! Huh, why are you so fast!”

“What? You caught the cherry blossoms? I heard that if you catch them, you will meet your first love. So that’s why you caught them?”

“huh?”

A strange topic suddenly emerged.

No, without even thinking about it, you thought there was such a legend in one small flower petal?

“Huh? Why did this girl suddenly stop moving?”

“Close.. you know. The one I have in my heart, hmmm..!”

“What do you all mean by that?”

Ruran and Klose’s eyes were playfully curved, but Jenna tilted her head with an incomprehensible look on her face.

Ugh, I have a bad feeling about something… I feel like I should avoid it.

Klose smiles and approaches. Soon he grabbed Jenna’s waist.

And then it tickles right away.

“Hahaha! What are you doing?”

“Senior Howlan! What do you think?”

“The two of you are very close. Even though you’re seniors and juniors, it seems like you’re really close, right? We even put our arms around each other’s shoulders.”

“That’s right. Jenna always talks about Senior Howlan. He cooked the food, he praised her, it was honestly a little cringy that she was expelled from school, etc.”

Compared to her friends who had the eyes of a hawk hunting for prey, Jenna, who had no knowledge of love, was infinitely closer to a lamb.

In fact, regardless of the era, the main interest of students is always related to the affection between men and women, that is, love or sexual affairs.

How much is it worth for criminals to pay attention to other people’s relationships? Rather, it is a law that is worse for criminals.

Tired of academic stress and the endless competition system, what they turned their eyes to was always affection and romance.

Beatus students and officials have already publicly confirmed their relationship.

Towards love.

Jenna is surprisingly not without tact. I was very proud of myself.

What is your relationship with your senior? That’s what you’re asking.

Realizing the meaning of her mischievous friends’ prank, she opened her mouth.

“Ah. Senior Dyers is just a senior.”

“It’s so cliché to get away like that, Jenna~”

“Well, even if it’s like that for you… Senior Howlan would be different, right? When I asked him, the man…”

“Puh-huh.”

Jenna laughed and scratched her head at her friends’ frantic reactions.

Senior Dyers likes you rationally? me?

That can’t be possible, kids…

He is scrupulous, has no money, eats the most food, is shameless(?), only knows how to play pranks, and is lazy.

On the other hand, seniors are always sincere, confident, and versatile.

…Looking at me like this, I see a huge difference from my senior.

Something makes me sad.

The reason your senior treats you well is simply because he or she is that kind of person.

There is no rational mind.

“It’s because Senior Dyers’ nature is kind.”

“…Hmm. I doubt it.”

“Because it’s real…”

The answer was too difficult to put to sleep the hawk that had found a good prey to bite.

Lulang did not miss the opportunity and continued to ask questions.

“To be honest, when I first saw you, you were a bit chubby. Wasn’t that diet you did for someone else?”

“What is that again?”

“My previous appearance was, um, scary, and I felt like I was a bit generous, but now I’ve changed a lot. The white hair really suits me. The atmosphere is cool.”

Jenna couldn’t agree with Klose’s remarks.

I don’t know why, but I feel a surge of resistance.

Even if his appearance has changed a little, it doesn’t mean that the person he is is a senior.

So I said something.

He lowered his head and looked at the ground, speaking in a low voice.

“That conductor… was cute. It looked like a grizzly bear.”

“….huh…?”

“…..oh…”

Ruran and Klose opened their mouths in shock at Jenna’s shocking remarks.

‘…It’s serious.’

‘Jenna, if you look cute, then…’

They swallowed the words that jumped up to their throats.

If they are already at this level, it is unconditional unless one of them is terminally ill with less than a year left to live.

Klose and Rouran exchanged glances without Jenna, who was lowering her head.

‘I bet Jenna that the two of you will end up together within half a year.’

‘I’ll bet Howlan senior that we’ll date within 3 months.’

I don’t know if they made sense, but they held hands tightly.

Anyway, I left that mischievous thing behind and started walking towards the [Wailing Chick].

Strangely, my heart is shaking.

Because this is something I have never experienced in my life.

A life of holding a sword, catching low-level monsters in dungeons, and making a living as a mercenary.

There were many days when I was covered in blood, and there was not a single day when my body was healthy.

My co-workers always cursed at me, and I couldn’t even eat properly. If you make a mistake even for a moment, you will be criticized several times over.

There is no separate paradise at the Academy.

Along the way, I met seniors, joked around, and even had a good night.

The group arrived at the Beatus Ghost Story Street [Wailing Chick].

“Wow…”

“It’s so big.”

Klose was impressed by the expansive forest road scenery.

At that time, someone presumed to be the daughter of a nobleman spoke to me.

Beige hair, skin as white as whipped cream, and a sharp nose. A confident face.

Anyone can see that it is the face of a nobleman.

She introduced herself as Nervi and took Jenna away, saying she had a favor to ask.

It wasn’t long before she revealed her true feelings.

‘There is someone I want to confess my feelings to… I saw a really pretty flower on a cliff…! ‘Can you please save me?’

‘Confess your feelings..? ‘I’ll give it a try!’

Before they knew it, they had gone deep into the forest, and when they were alone, Jenna began climbing up the cliff to the place Nervi had pointed out.

I hit the wrong stone and cut my fingers and broke my nails.

However, even though we reached the top of the cliff, there was not a single flower.

The moment he saw Jenna, who had no choice but to come down empty-handed, Nervi’s attitude changed.

“Puhup..! Are you really asking me to do that? I’m not stupid.”

“yes..?”

After trusting and not doubting the other person’s intentions, what came in return was ridicule and contempt.

Nervi continued speaking while holding Jenna’s shoulder.

“I called you to warn you. To stay away from that guy you always hang around with.”

“yes…?”

Looking at her still shaking, Nervi stroked his head in frustration.

“So, commoners… I am Nervi of the Sili family. The family has already sent an engagement proposal to him, a member of the Howlan family. Don’t you understand this?”

“What do you mean, I’m good…”

Nervi squeezed Jenna’s arm tightly as if she were angry.

“Since we are going to be fiancés in the future, I will end our romantic relationship in advance. Do you understand now?”

“ah…”

This was something Jenna heard when senior Dyers won overwhelmingly at the retirement ceremony.

‘I said I’d put in a request for marriage talk first and see…’

So, did the senior accept marriage talks with this woman?

“…is this something that your senior also accepted?”

“He’s quite arrogant when it comes to commoners. How could he possibly refuse to marry a member of the noble family, the Silly family?”

It wasn’t. thank god.

‘huh? ‘What’s so good about it?’

I don’t know what’s good about it.

I feel like half of the dull and frustrating feeling from before has been lifted.

Jenna asked again.

“So. Do you like your senior?”

“No. He has a handsome face and can be played with, but what kind of person suddenly develops feelings for a complete stranger? Well, that depends on how Confucius comes out.”

As she said that, Nervi covered her slightly red face with a fan.

When I see that, something stirs inside me and it’s hard to hold back.

It feels like the intestines are twisted and the duodenum is twisted.

It feels similar to the time I vomited after eating about ten cream buns.

“In other words, you, a commoner, will only lower his value, so you should leave now.”

“…….”

“You are misunderstanding the good deeds that Confucius did as a nobleman in a strange way. This is why good deeds should be done while observing people.”

“…….”

I don’t know what to do.

really.

Jenna was puzzled. I used to hang out with my seniors a lot, but it was just a close senior-junior relationship.

So, this feeling right now is simply ‘concern’ for the senior who was taken by a strange woman.

It will never be anything special.

“Anyway, if I’m going to marry someone, I’m going to tame them by holding on tightly from the beginning. I can’t see my spouse playing around with another woman, right?”

“Puh-huh.”

Jenna laughed. At the same time, Nervi’s face became frowning.

“Insolent commoner..! What’s funny? A noble’s words are heavy…”

That’s bound to be funny. Previously, she just called herself a ‘commoner’, but now she calls herself a ‘nonsense woman.’

In the end, the title of commoner is a fake, and the real thing is that I abandoned this because I was concerned about myself as a ‘woman’ next to my senior.

I don’t even think about the senior who will give me the cake, but I get jealous.

The noble daughter who seemed scary started to look like a jealous kid.

It was annoying to say things like ‘I’m going to tame you’.

She opened her mouth and tried to speak to Nervi.

But nothing was delivered.

This is because a black figure approached in an instant and grabbed Nervi.

.

“Uuuu…”

Jenna fell to the floor and continued to moan.

“Huh…huh…”

Exhale briefly and inhale repeatedly. My lungs hurt.

Then raise your head and look ahead.

“Ghost! Evil spirit! You were the culprit, Dyers?!”

The man who defeated him in an instant speaks with crazy eyes.

“Recently, I had a strange smell, so I came to visit Teishi instead… It was a really great harvest.”

He stared at his senior with a creepy smile.

The senior’s expression… is not visible.

All you can see is the senior’s torn, dirty, and bloody back.

“Wooo!”

“Kkeeek!”

The undead bites the evil spirit.

The evil spirit eats the undead again.

Hundreds of undead and more grotesque evil spirits fight against each other without retreating an inch.

“Whoa…”

Sweat is beading on the back of the senior’s head.

At the same time, the villain also became increasingly short of breath.

As the fight between evil spirits and the undead showed no signs of ending, the senior raised his sword.

With the way of holding the sword changed.
