A boy who gets excited and challenges others.

At that, Princess Albrecht frowned.

“Do you have any complaints?”

“It’s not because I’m dissatisfied, but because I’m a bit screwed. No, why is the crew chief sitting in our crew office?”

“The daughter gave permission.”

“What should I do?”

It was a bombshell of a level that I couldn’t even imagine saying to the princess. But no one in the room was surprised. This is because I have already experienced it many times.

Only Cheon Woong, who stopped by Magic Crew’s office for the first time, was shocked.

“Wow… !”

“No, let’s think logically. That person is Pantera’s captain. Our rival! But are you staying together?”

“Does it matter?”

“Of course it is! You got to watch every move of our crew members as they trained.”

“Evans, don’t think that everyone in the world is as selfish as you. Don’t you think that Cheonwoong could help them with their training?”

“That’s as unrealistic a story as me helping a Panthera crew member”

“That’s because that’s what you think. Before they were divided into crews, they were in the same school and were seniors and juniors. Isn’t that right, Cheonwoong?”

“Ah… Yes, that’s right.”

Stella couldn’t follow their conversation and answered half-heartedly. It was a reflexive answer.

“And what do you think? There are only two people training anyway.”

“Your Majesty, does that make any sense? Don’t you know how powerful those two are?”

“Don’t play with words. I don’t know your intentions. If the saint was not here and only the hero was training, he would have been allowed to watch a hundred times.”

“Oh, you cowardly attack me with facts!”

Phew-.

However, even though I could not follow the conversation, I was able to read the general atmosphere. Stella let out a small laugh.

It was idyllic peace. An extremely rare sight to find in the aftermath of a disaster. That’s why it was warm and attractive.

“Your Majesty seems to be on good terms with Mr. Evans.”

Those were the words that suddenly came out of my mouth.

The reaction was outrageously violent.

“What? I? With this psychopath princess?”

“… Huh, now you’re being blatantly rude. A thousand things.”

“Thousand things? this… !”

Sigh-!

Evans’ hand grasped Albrecht’s golden hair.

At the same time, Albrecht also grabbed Evans’ hair.

It looked ridiculous. But neither side wanted to let go. It was as if their feelings and desire to win were more important at this moment whether or not the world was watching. It’s crazy and vague.

“Put it first. Huh? Don’t you let go?”

“Ha… What a troublesome and childish guy.”

The princess’s hand also scanned Evans’ body. This is to tear off the hem of the clothes.

Evans’ violence causes enough pain to Albrecht, but Albrecht’s abuse does not feel like violence to Evans. That’s why you want to ruin your clothes.

“What… ! What are you trying to do!”

Evans’ hand knocked away Albrecht’s struggling arm. Albrecht’s fingers flew out and tore the hem of Evans’ clothes.

As a result, one button fell off. Tap, denggrrr-.

“Huh?”

“The durability of the button is extremely weak. Foot.”

“Profit… ! Was this what you were aiming for?”

“Then would your wife openly try to tear off your clothes? I fully expected you to hit me. Huhuhu.”

Albrecht is now free from Evans’ grasp and tidying up his hair by tying it back. Evans huffed and looked at the floor, looking for a button that had rolled somewhere.

Stella held a small, round object between her fingers and handed it to Evans.

“… Here, here it is.”

“Oh, thank you. Anyway, you’re the only one suffering for no reason because of Her Highness, the temperamental princess.”

Evans and Stella’s hands brushed together and a round button came into the boy’s palm.

“… !”

Suddenly, Stella’s eyes widened.

This is because there is blue thread on the button. Originally, school uniform buttons were fastened with red thread.

“Oh my, I heard that it tends to break easily because it was recently installed.”

“When was it torn?”

“That’s a secret.”

“… .”

At that moment, Stella’s eyes, which had always been hazy due to the disaster, began to shine. A thought came to my mind like a lightning bolt, a remnant from the past.

An unidentified stranger whose face was covered by a strangely smiling white mask.

A monster who engages in a duel with Stella on equal footing, puts a bandage on the wound on Stella’s chin that he inflicted, and then disappears as suddenly as the wind.

Stella recalled the trace he left behind. The button of the clothes he was wearing had been torn from a violent fight with himself. Eden Academy’s exclusive school uniform button that I immediately recognized as soon as I saw it.

It was still in the trash can in Stella’s room.

Forgotten doubts took over her mind. The extinguished embers began to burn brightly.

When Stella first ripped off the school uniform button from the gunman, she guessed that there was a gunman inside the academy. But I couldn’t find it.

There wasn’t much time. She is a third-year student preparing to enter society, the leader of Pantera, and the most promising hero on the continent. Some even say that she, not Frey, is the hero.

So I forgot.

But not now.

Stella’s watch started spinning again.

*****

Quiet darkness and dark clouds like a barrier. Thick darkness falls gently on the ground, making everything dark.

In it, we are in the library of the main building.

“What is your relationship?”

Imperial Princess Albrecht asked, raising her tone sharply.

I, who did not understand the meaning, had no choice but to ask back.

“What?”

“Cheonungwa. The moment you see your button, you won’t know that Cheonwoong’s prayer has changed.”

“Ah, did you feel it? I really have a good sense of humor even when I’m weak.”

“Cheonwoong? Joker, did something happen during the day?”

Maria asked. I can’t help but answer that.

I immediately responded with joy.

“Nothing much, I was at the crew office after school and Cheonwoong stopped by. It seemed like he felt a great sense of emptiness when the crew members died.”

“So what happened?”

“I was just going to let her go, but this woman insisted on holding me back? So we got into an argument and this crazy bitch ripped my button off. Why, that button that was torn off last time.”

I pinched my clothes to show off and exaggerated the hem. With her white hair hanging down, Maria looked at it closely.

Albrecht muttered indifferently.

“What she is curious about is why the child became agitated when he saw your button.”

“Even though I am your senior, is it okay to call me child?”

“What does it matter? She also accepts it obediently.”

That’s right. Sigh, I can’t catch the pod. Annoying.

If it’s the “ button… Didn’t you fall back then? When I collided with senior Cheonwoong.”

“Oh, I forgot to leave it there. When I went back, it wasn’t there.”

“What? Are you saying that the two of you had a fight before? wait. no way… The clash with Cheonwoong two months ago was… ?”

Albrecht’s slouched eyes look at me suspiciously.

Why are you looking at me like that? What you think is correct.

“Ah, that’s me. What do you think, it’s crazy?”

“I was wondering what kind of crazy guy survived a fight with Cheonwoong, and it turned out to be you. It’s worth it.”

“Reaction is really boring. At the very least, you should show some level of sincerity by bending your arms horizontally like an S. This side decided to reveal their true identity.”

“You talk nonsense like an old man. Is that right? Come to think of it, you caught the hero and interrogated him. The ‘person kidnapped by the gunman’ written in the newspaper must have been a hero.”

“Correct answer! Hey, if you tell me one thing, I will understand ten. After all, she is a princess.”

“It was a lip service. Instead, it would be nice if you could at least answer my question.”

Albrecht pursed his lips.

“What is it?”

“Cheonwoong Stella.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t think you and her were connected in a past life. When I think about ‘your personality in my past life’.”

Ugh, that’s a bit expensive.

“Looking at their expressions, I guess they won’t just tell me.”

“Hmm… First of all, the prediction is accurate. Because I was involved with Cheonwoong. That’s pretty deep too. Maria knows this too. Right, Maria?”

“Yes, because the incident between Joker and senior Cheonwoong was very famous. I know it little by little.”

While saying that, Maria chewed her lower lip with a slightly worried look on her face.

It’s worth it. What happened with Cheonwoong was an incident that can be considered the worst thing that I can look back on now that I have reformed myself.

“But, speaking is a bit difficult. It’s dirty. It’s a bit… .”

“I will use the mystery reward.”

“Huh?”

“I’m curious. It’s a relationship that the demons of the world will keep in their hearts. The main woman should listen.”

No, you really want to listen? What kind of good story is this? You don’t have to be that passionate!

“You have already refused the main woman’s mystery reward. Surely you won’t refuse again? I don’t think you’re that faithless.”

“Keu… .”

I have no choice but to dig up memories of my past life. Far away, on the other side of consciousness, past relationships are pulled together with gray threads.
