44 – Questions

Ian looked down at the girl in front of her.

The round green eyes.

A haberlin mouth and a twisted tongue.

Her fingers wiggling incessantly, holding the hem of her own dress.

If it wasn’t the need to pee, she seemed to have something to say.

The droopy eyebrows look like a puppy standing in a bee.

So, I guess she might want to apologize to Rina for her mistake.

Unfortunately, what was more important to Ian right now was to check the facts rather than listen to her heart.

Let’s say that,

“…Ugh.”

And she bowed her head.

A pitiful heroine like a puppy in the rain.

‘If it had been me before the possession, I would have felt guilty.’

Since she was possessed, she has already decided not to act like a player. There is no player taking care of her heroine as if she were raising her, nor expecting her to cling to her role. In the first place, there is a culprit among them, so it’s not even a joke.

In short, to Ian, Lina Roswell is just one of those people who pass by in life.

I just want to solve it because there are things that are intertwined with each other.

That’s why Ian’s voice was cold.

“Remember? The question I asked you at the last training session.”

“… Huh?”

“The day you threw fire magic at me. The question I asked.”

Lina’s face turned white.

It was because the memory of her that day came to mind.

“That, that’s…”

It must have been when her consciousness was clouded by her spores that the flames flew on Ian’s back.

But Lina did not intend to use that as an excuse.

Anyway, in her heart, she had a desire to do what she wanted to do with Ian. Mushroom spores just used and amplified them.

‘What the hell did I do…’

If you go into it, the inferiority complex that Ian exploded because he was nice and weak. Lina’s hands trembled at her sorry.

“It was my fault for attacking you with magic. Sorry, sorry…”

But Ian firmly shook her head.

Are you saying you can’t even accept an apology?

Ian said to Lina who looked up at him.

“Lina. What I want to hear now is not an apology. It’s the answer to the question I asked that day.”

“A question…?”

Ian continued with a determined look.

“The one who pushed me off the roof. Is it you?”

“What… Oh.”

Lina’s eyes, which had been blurry, widened at once in order to search for her memories.

The meaning of what Ian said.

It was because I seemed to know what the meaning of the word, which I had forgotten in passing, meant.

“Wait a minute. Ian, then you didn’t jump yourself…?”

Ian nodded quietly.

His eyes were unmistakably determined.

Seeing that scene, a memory flashed through Lina’s mind.

‘Come to think of it, even in the anonymous room…’

An anonymous chat room where I participated wearing a leaf mask.

There were definitely some masks plotting to get rid of Ian.

Lina used to hate Ian, but the plan was too much for her to hear. Let’s agree with each other and get rid of Ian through the disciplinary committee.

At that time, Lina obviously felt that something was wrong with her.

If Ian did something wrong, just let him be punished.

‘That’s why I objected that it was ridiculous…’

The deja vu I felt at that time seemed to be explained in one word from Ian.

‘But… To ask me that.’

Ian Lee or Rina is suspecting that she is not the culprit.

Lina hurriedly shook her hands.

“Oh, no! Never, never! I never had the personality to…”

She

Lina tried to say no, but she recalled the story of how she had placed fire magic behind Ian’s back. She’s not only that, she’s been showing off since she confessed.

She certainly seems to make Ian suspicious of himself.

“Ah, I’m really not!”

Doridori.

The moment when you want to feel dizzy from the intense slinging.

Ian said.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“Ah, ah…”

Lina hurriedly rummaged through her memories.

Innocence. Evidence to prove your innocence.

The day Ian committed suicide.

Something must have happened that day…

‘Oh right!’

“That day, my brother was sick and went to his hometown! Pi, if you need a portal customs record! I’ll get it issued for you!”

The portal customs records cannot be falsified.

Wouldn’t that be enough to convince Ian?

Lina looked up at Ian with her expectant expression on her face.

“Okay. Then apply. You probably won’t be able to go outside for a while.”

“Ugh, yes!”

Lina sighed at Ian’s calm expression. She didn’t seem very suspicious.

“Oh and.”

Ian, who was about to ask a question, shut her mouth.

A somewhat troubled expression.

‘What the hell are you talking about?’

On the contrary, it was Lina who was impatient.

“What, what?”

“Ha ha.”

Ian let out a light sigh.

In that state, she swept down her bottom once, and then she gave a slightly bitter look and asked again with her serious face.

“Are you a virgin?”

Lina tilted her head, wondering if she just heard herself wrong.

“Huh?”

“Are you a virgin?”

Virgin. Lina’s face immediately heated up as she chewed her words. She pursed her lips in bewilderment, then for some reason she instinctively drew her legs together.

“That… That.”

What should I say?

Her hair is so hot it’s wavy.

“Koko, is this a necessary question?”

Rina asked as she pulled down the hem of her clothes.

“Uh.”

Ian nods her head.

Rina’s face turned bright red once again.

A really embarrassing question.

If she had heard it from someone else, Lina would have ignored or got angry.

But she felt it instinctively.

In Ian’s mind, right now, Lina’s stake in herself is infinitely small and insignificant.

On the other hand, Lina had a lot of things she wanted to say to her Ian.

She needed Ian to avoid entering that dark world of consciousness.

So…

‘I need to be of any help.’

Lina lowered her head.

– Sarak, Sarak.

Lina wiggles her finger at the hem of her petite skirt.

She procrastinated like that for a while and then she struggled to lick her lips.

“Huh… Do you want to check it?”

Speaking of the conclusion, unfortunately, I have not been able to confirm that.

The sound of professors and staff, who belatedly grasped the situation, searched the dormitory.

Ian handed Lina a black handkerchief.

“There’s a handprint on your neck, so cover it up.”

With Lina Roswell showing a somewhat moved expression, the scenario ended like that.

From noble mtl dot com

The customs clearance record confirmed that, as she said, she had been to her family located in the central Great Forest.

Since her aggression was ultimately caused by spores, the possibility that Lina was actually the culprit was considerably reduced.

Of course, just to be sure of the last possibility, well.

Looks like she’ll have to wait until Lina Roswell’s probation ends.

Two days after the scenario was finished.

Ian is sitting opposite Sylvia at a high-end teahouse in an upscale shopping district located east of Lichten Academy.

“I heard from Sebastian that he likes this place quite a bit.”

Sylvia, who opened her mouth like that, started talking about various things.

A disciplinary committee was held for the ‘Median House Incident’.

All the Shale cultists died, and the only surviving suspect was Lina Roswell.

But there was no child who was victimized by her.

“There was also a girl named Mercy who supported Ms. Lina quite passionately? She said that she was in a good mood or something. She’s so stupid.”

It is said that the only victim refused to be punished.

Moreover, all the academy students said it was because they couldn’t take care of her, and she even asked her to punish herself if she wanted to punish Lina.

In the end, it is said that Rina’s punishment ended with her cotton bat punishment of her 5 days probation and one month of volunteer work.

Rina’s kindness also played a part, but it must be that someone moved behind her. It was pretty clear from the context who it was.

“Why did you help him?”

“Lina Roswell is worth keeping.”

Sylvia continued her words as she elegantly put the teacup down.

“It was quite difficult. Roasting the professors. Lobbying. But it was worth it because no one had any particular stakes. Lena Roswell had no enemies.”

Sylvia looks this way, emphasizing the word enemy.

“Somehow it seems like you’re telling me to listen?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

With her serious face, Sylvia continued her words.

“Ian already knew you were being referred to the disciplinary committee, right?”

“How do you know that?”

“Don’t underestimate the information power of the Laurent Chamber of Commerce.”

“Looks like the professors planted it.”

“What a big deal!”

Sylvia hurriedly looked around her and whispered, leaning her upper body in front of her.

“It’s usually called research sponsorship. hehehe.”

“……”

“Of course I won’t tell you directly. But there’s a nuance. I don’t want you to get close to me… To such a degree? Rather, I’m curious how you know that.”

Ian shrugs in his seat.

Sylvia sighed and asked.

“In the case of the Median House incident, you’re rather responsible. That’s because of something else… Could you tell me why the disciplinary committee is being held? It seems like it was quite a while ago. The disciplinary committee is Rina The positive case is a lucky case, and it’s not easy to escape. The average is an expulsion.”

She just didn’t show it, but Sylvia’s question was definitely full of worries.

She deserves to be worried.

The level of punishment given by the disciplinary committee is extremely intense.

Ian pondered for a moment.

She told Sylvia that she could now explain the situation she was in and ask for help.

Sylvia is a wonderful person.

But the reputation of the heroines is high.

She’s not suspicious of Sylvia, but she’s Ian.

So Ian shook his head.

“Hmph! I knew it. Let me give you one piece of advice instead.”

Advice.

Of course, we have a plan in preparation for the disciplinary committee, but the opponent is the successor to the top of Laurent.

It wouldn’t hurt to ask for advice.

“What is it?”

“Anything that is too big will not perish.”

Sylvia laughed triumphantly at the look in her eyes, asking what that meant.

“No matter what, Ian your presence is called upon.”

“…Presence?”

“Yes. I mean you have to be famous. For the better, of course.”

“My image is already the worst?”

Ian himself knows more than anyone else that Pongpong’s image is not good.

“Of course, Ian’s image is rubbish.”

“… Hey.”

It hurts to hear that in person.

Pushup-

After laughing once, Sylvia twirled her fingers.

“You know what? Notoriety is, after all, popularity.”

She opens a napkin and draws a large downward arrow. Then she swivels the napkin.

“You know how soon there will be a common ability test for each grade level?”

Hmm, come to think of it, yes.

Besides, there are a lot of abilities that have grown through this scenario.

“Take an active part there. From my point of view, this ability evaluation will be a good opportunity for Mr. Lee.”

Sylvia smiled brightly, as if telling her to trust herself.
