A year has passed.

A year is a short but long time at the same time, and it is a very long time for one person to change.

The main building of Ale College, which has produced many talented students, was quite spacious and neat.

In that classroom hallway, all the male and female students, regardless of gender, are drawn to a woman walking down the hallway.

“Ah, Shasha. Get out of the main building now. Okay, I got it. See you later. Okay.”

The voice on the phone is clear and bright at the same time.

A white knit sweater and a beige check skirt. Soft reddish-blond waves flow down to her waist. Her bright amethyst eyes are like those of a cat, but she also has the look of a puppy.

He looks proud at the same time, and that’s a cute pride, and his detailed facial features also give him an innocent feel. He’s a little short, but that’s not a noticeable flaw, right?

Her skin is incredibly white, and her limbs are all thin, giving her a delicate look, but her expression is somehow confident. You can’t underestimate her.

‘Is this college…?’

Several male freshmen gathered at the freshman learning center couldn’t take their eyes off of him. The senior student who was in charge of guiding the students from his alma mater smiled as if he knew what he was talking about.

“Our liberal arts college goddess. Her name is Bianca Shamal, and she already has a boyfriend.”

Only then did the dazed male students all come to their senses.

Even the name is pretty.

Celebrity? Idol?

But there is a master.

Well, I guess so.

A woman that pretty would obviously have a boyfriend.

‘What kind of guy would have a girlfriend like that…?’

At that thought, they both sighed at the same time.

Meanwhile, Vita is aware that just walking down the hallway attracts attention from others, especially men.

‘… Everyone’s eyes are going to pop out.’

I’ve personally experienced it over the past year.

‘Anyway, really, men…’

Vita clicked her tongue and ended up laughing in vain.

Of course, I was once a man myself. But now, I find myself thinking like this without thinking.

From a man’s perspective, Vita himself knows that it is inevitable to lose one’s mind upon seeing a pretty woman.

‘But would you mind if I said something a little rude?’

Do they even know that the other person is looking at them?

I don’t feel bad, but to be honest, I feel a little burdened.

No matter how pretty your appearance is.

‘Is this a bit self-indulgent…?’

But that’s the reality. Still, Vita coughed and reflected a little.

I feel like my self-esteem has improved considerably over the past year.

I lost a bit of baby fat and grew a bit taller. Now I’m really almost 160 cm tall.

I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but my breasts also felt a little bigger, which gave me a surge of confidence.

Now, in many ways, I can’t even think of my past self as a man.

‘I said something weird to that Carlyle guy last time…’

When I think about that time, my face still turns red for no reason. It was about a month ago.

-You know, Carlyle. For some reason, I’ve been… um, um…

Lying in bed together, Vita, lost in afterglow, hesitated and then blurted out her words.

-… Didn’t it get a little bigger?

To be honest, I wanted to get confirmation from the other person that it was right.

Carlyle, who had been looking at me with a puzzled expression at those words, burst into laughter. There was no way he didn’t know that I was talking about breast size.

-Why, why are you laughing?!

-Hmm, is that so…? It was originally a little small, but maybe it’s because I touched it.

-… … .

The moment I asked, I felt hurt. It was really not a joke, I had barely managed to hold back my embarrassment and asked, so I couldn’t help but feel hurt.

‘It was originally a little small…?’

He clenched his small fist and hit his opponent hard.

-Die, die!

Of course, after that, Carlyle tried to calm her down by telling her that it was a joke that she was small, so she felt a little better, and when she came to her senses, she found herself moaning in the other person’s arms again.

As she recalled those memories, Vita’s face turned slightly red.

‘Now, in many ways…’

Vita Shamal is a woman. Bianca Shamal is a woman.

She is a very natural woman, and she is now clearly aware of the fact that she is quite attractive to the opposite sex.

Since I came to college, I have been constantly feeling what men’s gazes are toward me.

-Do you have time this weekend?

-Can you give me your number?

Is it the feeling of youth or the feeling of adulthood?

Going to Antiope Academy, my high school, and going to college now have different feelings.

Of course, Vita never liked that approach, nor was she willing to accept it.

There is only one reason.

‘It’s just a color to me.’

It has to be him. I really can’t imagine anyone else but Vita Carlyle.

I’m embarrassed to say it myself, but I really love that guy Carlyle Schultz.

I have long since admitted to myself that I love Carlyle Schultz beyond what I like. I have become so dependent on him that I cannot imagine life without him.

I want to see you right now, but I can’t control myself.

I really love Carlyle more than anyone else.

Still, isn’t she quite popular among men?

‘I’m so in love with this attractive woman…’

Yeah, but.

“Haa-”

Vita let out a deep sigh.

We’ve had some problems recently. We’ve unintentionally entered into a cold war with Carlyle.

***

A cafe near the university. Vita met two friends she hadn’t seen in a while.

One of them, of course, is Sasha.

“Ah, Bianca! Over here, over here-!”

A friend who is always outgoing and popular, with brown hair and red eyes that look like a squirrel. A theater and film student who matches his personality.

Another person is also very familiar to Vita.

A silver-haired schoolgirl bursts into laughter.

Emily Swan, who even looks like an elegant lady with her hair up, has transformed into a college student who is even more like a flower.

It’s been almost a year, right?

Emily and I made up at the graduation ceremony. Actually, we never fought, so there’s no need to call it a reconciliation.

It was a bit awkward because things were tangled up. And Emily asked for some time. Vita thought that was probably the time Emily needed to sort things out.

‘But Emily is still…’

Because I liked Carlyle.

And then, at the graduation ceremony. While I was taking graduation pictures and chatting with Sasha, Emily slowly approached me.

-Bianca, Sasha. Congratulations on your graduation.

Then, for some reason, Emily looked hesitant for a moment, took a deep breath, and said something.

-It’s a little late, but… could you check my phone for me?

-Ah… Yeah!

-Now, wait a minute!

When the two people opened their phones together, a message popped up.

A new chat room was opened with three people participating.

-Are we still friends…?

When Vita looks ahead, she sees Emily with an embarrassed expression and slightly biting her lip.

“I’m shameless, but… ”

Instead of answering, he hugged Emily’s body. Sasha did the same.

“Of course-!”

Just, with that.

It took some time, but it was resolved simply.

It wasn’t awkward because it was a meeting that followed.

Entering the cafe, Vita’s mood, which had been gloomy, slightly improved at the sight of her close friends.

“You didn’t have to wait long, did you?”

“Huh? Not really. I just ordered coffee.”

“Well, still. It was quite close. Maybe because she’s the queen, she showed up the latest.”

Vita made an apologetic expression at Sasha’s teasing. But at the same time, she pursed her lips slightly.

“Again, you’re the queen. Seriously, Shasha. How long are you going to keep playing around like that? We’re college students now.”

“Yeah, it’s okay. My boyfriend really likes me like this.”

After entering college, Sasha finally found the boyfriend she had long wanted.

“Is it because it’s the 100th day now?”

“Yeah, last weekend.”

“So that’s why you seem so happy these days. Oh my, really… ”

“I’m alone here… ”

“Ah… ”

“Et-”

Vita and Sasha stopped at the sudden voice. Still, they couldn’t help but stop at such a topic, knowing who Emily had liked in the past.

“Just kidding, why are you like that?”

Emily laughed hysterically.

“There are a lot of men anyway… ”

There was no trace of regret in her cool smile. The next moment, Emily stretched, making a strange sound, “Ahhh.”

“I don’t have time to date anyone right now, and I don’t have any intention of doing so. I probably have to do my student teaching next semester. I’m pretty busy these days.”

Emily went on to transfer to a different school.

My family has been involved in education for generations, and I think this is a career path that suits Emily’s kind personality.

“Well, at least. Can’t you at least listen to your friend’s love troubles?”

“Em, Emily… No, how?”

“So what’s the problem? Your boyfriend can’t do it?”

A curious expression.

He had asked to meet her but had never said why, so Vita was a little taken aback.

***

“Why are you reacting so naively?”

Sasha was shaking her head from the side.

“Someone who has been acting weak recently.”

“It was a bit much. Bianca, even now… Your expression is completely sad. I don’t think you’re worried about your major at all.”

Vita nodded in agreement with Emily’s words.

“Ha, right… ”

Now that your first year is almost over, you need to decide on a major. The university you entered requires you to decide on a major in your second year. Except for some departments.

“Your major is probably cooking?”

“Yeah, I decided.”

After studying several cooking videos on my own for Carlyle, I became truly interested in Vita’s cooking.

“Actually, I’ve been interested in cooking for a long time…so I was thinking about going in that direction.”

“It suits you, awesome!”

“Yeah, Bianca. You’re good at cooking, so I think you’ll do well?”

Well, I have no worries at all about my future career.

It’s a problem between Carlyle and his lover.

Recently, the cold war has been continuing unintentionally, and Vita has been having a hard time, but he has continued to push his opponents away.

It wasn’t a matter of pride. It was a matter of something else.

“So, you know.”

After hesitating for a while, Vita sighed deeply and told us about her recent worries.

“… Carlyle is going to study abroad.”

“What?”

“Huh?!”

That too, abandoning himself and going off alone for almost a year.

Actually, strictly speaking.

It’s not that Carlyle is abandoning her, it’s just that his heart feels that way.

“What should I do…?”

Of course, I know that this feeling is childish.

But still.

Do I really have to go? Even if it means falling?

Just imagining it was so dizzying, but I couldn’t see the answer, so I covered my face with my hands.

“That’s it…?”

“I said the two of them fought again… It wasn’t even that much of a fight.”

However, Emily and Sasha had somewhat uneasy expressions on their faces, so Vita immediately refuted.

“We fought… Seriously. I haven’t seen Carlyle at all in the past few days, and even though I got a call from him, I didn’t say a word… ”

No, you said you fought.

But, since he said he would answer the phone, there is something suspicious about it.

“Just in case, I’m asking. You called and didn’t say a word. Is Carlyle like that to you too?”

It hit the nail on the head. Vita was left dumbfounded by Shasha’s question.

In fact, it is because he is unilaterally keeping silent.

“It’s just crooked.”

The conclusion was quickly reached. Even Emily got involved.

“Yeah, it’s crooked.”

The two people’s combined attack made Vita’s mouth drop open, and she ended up crying.

“Then, what should I do…?”

I can’t keep up, but I don’t have the confidence to just quietly comply.

I know it’s childish. I think so too.

But the two in front of her were her closest friends, so Vita became somewhat honest about her feelings.

I looked back at it again to be honest.

‘…I don’t know what to do.’

How to start a day and how to end another day.

Of course, I can do quite well on my own, but I had no problems even before I met Carlyle.

I can’t even imagine.

Really, Carlyle Schultz, you can’t do without him.

I’ve become so used to it, so dependent on it, that I can’t imagine my life without Carlyle.

You may become depressed every night thinking about that sweet voice, that strangely good smell, or that big, warm embrace.

It’s a bit selfish, but I still think it would be better not to go.

I honestly feel a bit sorry for Carlyle for deciding to break up with me.

So, Vita said to her two friends with a sad expression on her face.

“Without Carlyle, I… I really don’t know what to do… ”

This is my honest feeling.

Even with tears welling up in their eyes, both Sasha and Emily had ambiguous expressions on their faces.

A total lover appears!

-You too, Shasha…?

-No, not that much…

After exchanging glances, I begin to comfort my friend who is crying.

“Be honest with me.”

“Try to act cute a lot.”

“… Will that work?”

I don’t think it will work.

There is no sign of Carlyle changing his mind, so it is not really an issue to begin with.

‘Really, what should I do…?’

Vita’s eyes went dark.

***

The science building at Ale College.

People in white gowns came out of the building, chattering noisily.

The afternoon study is over.

“Finally, it’s over!”

“I thought I was going to die from exhaustion.”

“Let’s go get some coffee.”

When it comes to magic, it is the most cutting-edge scientific field, a discipline that studies things that were impossible in the past to make them possible.

Even though this department was filled with the best talents at this university, there was one young man who particularly caught everyone’s attention.

He has black hair and golden eyes, and is tall and slender.

The silver name tag on his coat was engraved with the name Carlyle Schultz.

His handsome and handsome features and cold and intelligent impression were enough to make the many female students watching excited.

“Carlyle, where are you going?”

There was no other reason why Carlyle, who was coming out of the building, stopped for a moment and turned around again.

“Go ahead, guys. I have a question in mind.”

“Should I order some coffee for you too?”

“No, not really. I’ll do it myself.”

“That guy, that guy.”

The classmates all looked at Carlyle, who was moving away, as if they were tired of him.

Its very existence is a fraud.

There’s no need to say anything about looks. If even a man sees you and thinks you’re handsome, then there’s no need to say anything.

The head is obviously smart.

Because I got into the best comprehensive university and the most prestigious department with a scholarship and am maintaining my top ranking.

“Your girlfriend is cute too… ”

“Ah, Bianca… ?”

Because they are so handsome, they are famous at school.

Among science subjects, science. Because of the nature of the male-only subject, the flow of conversation was like this, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

“That guy is just a mutant.”

“Did you see the lunch box last time…?”

A man who is too busy with his research to have time to meet up. A girlfriend who packs a lunch for him.

Public opinion suddenly changed.

“Hey, hey. What kind of cafe is this between guys?”

“Let’s go to a nearby bar.”

“What about that Carlyle guy?”

“Once he goes to the professor’s office, he never comes out. Just send him a text message, that’s all.”

His classmates’ expectations were not wrong at all, and it was almost two hours later that Carlyle finished his Q&A session with his professor.

He got up from his seat.

“I’ll just get up.”

“Thank you for your hard work, listening.”

“No, Professor. I am the one who is grateful that you took the time to tell me.”

“It’s nice to see you working hard.”

The old professor patted his shoulder with a proud expression.

“I heard that you can study abroad after the semester with a scholarship from the school?”

“Yes, Professor. I think so.”

“Just suffer for a year. I’m sure it will help your future.”

Carlyle greeted the professor and left the lab.

The sun is setting soon.

I can’t attend the drinking party with my colleagues. I have a prior engagement tonight.

Carlyle’s mind hasn’t been at ease lately. It was a little like that.

Of course, the biggest reason is his girlfriend Bianca. To be honest, he also doesn’t want to be separated from his lovely girlfriend.

[Just suffer for a year. I’m sure it will help you in your future.]

[Once you go, no matter which path you choose, studying abroad itself is an experience.]

It’s not just studying abroad.

His specialty, magic, is the most cutting-edge technology.

And he gets a job as an intern at one of the world’s leading companies with the highest reputation in this field.

It’s something like that.

‘Do I really have to go…?’

Carlyle Schultz knows that this worry is pointless.

But what makes me feel uneasy is that my mind is wandering about things that have already been decided and cannot be changed, and it is only because of Bianca Shamal.

It was thanks to Bianca that he first realized that even a decision that had already been made could be wavered.

“After-”

A deep sigh naturally comes out.

***

It’s understandable to feel sad.

He has been thinking recently about how to comfort Bianca and give her reassurance.

Bianca Shamal is an adult. A woman with clear opinions and clear dreams.

I really like cooking and I am very interested in it, so I need to continue attending my current school here.

So, you can’t follow where you go.

Yeah, of course.

It’s unrealistic to think that Bianca would give up her dream and go study abroad with me.

The opposite is also true.

I want to be with Bianca, but I can’t give up this opportunity.

With Bianca Shamal, it’s for the future of both of us.

‘I have to take responsibility.’

Because he had made a promise to the other person, Carlyle had a firm belief that he had to take responsibility for the family and the other person after starting a family.

Bianca Shamal is responsible for her entire life, so she needs to develop her abilities to do so.

I’ll do everything you ask me to do, and I don’t even want to get a single drop of water on my delicate hands.

Because I want to make you happier than any other woman.

Just once.

If there is ever a time when you and Bianca have to part ways, it will be now. It will end with just one time.

The department’s curriculum initially includes a study abroad program.

However, Carlyle Schultz had the best grades, so ironically, he went abroad a little earlier to graduate early.

[Bianca, wait…]

[I have nothing to say.]

Naturally, Carlyle is not too comfortable with the ongoing Cold War.

Of course I understand completely.

I know that the other person is reacting with such emotions as disappointment and resentment.

So, in the future to come, I have been thinking about how to comfort and reassure Bianca who will be left alone, and I have prepared two gifts.

One is important documents. And the other one is-

“You’ve been waiting for more than ten days?”

A female clerk smiles as she looks at him.

“He’s a kid from far away. I’m sure your girlfriend will like him too.”

“I would appreciate it if you would do that.”

Carlyle nodded.

Bianca once told me something, so I referred to that memory.

-Carlyle, look at this. Isn’t it cute?

Hand him the phone.

How sparkling her fresh purple eyes were. Carlyle, who hid his inner feelings that the other person was much cuter, looked at the screen and answered.

-Did you originally like dogs too?

-Yeah, kind of… ? But I’ve never raised one myself… I’d like to try raising one someday if I get the chance…

That’s the dog in the video. It’s the exact same breed.

Because it’s so innocent, cute, and chubby.

Carlyle was a little curious.

He grabbed the puppy by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up in one hand.

‘It just looks like a piece of shit…’

What kind of pedigree does this guy have? He even has documentation proving that he has his own breed, and he even has a small price tag. I’m a little suspicious for no reason.

Kkiing- kkung-

“Ah, wait a minute! If you hold the child like that-!”

I don’t know why, but I feel confused.

In any case, from Carlyle’s point of view, two preparations were completed.

It took several days to prepare these gifts.

Well then, now.

It’s time to go cheer up your girlfriend.

Will it actually work?

‘No, even if there isn’t… I will definitely solve it today.’

Carlyle was in good spirits.

Bianca had been really upset with him for the past few days, so they hadn’t seen each other. Not being able to hold her soft body for a few days was driving him crazy.

‘If these don’t work…’

I have to get down on my knees. I have to beg really hard.

Carlyle’s only thought was how to appease his girlfriend, Thorazin Bianca Shamal.
