Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

58 – Charlotte Echo (6)

The typhoon was strong.

Rank, rattle.

The windows rattled and shook as the strong wind pounded.

Adele drew the curtains over her, pulled the blanket over her, and returned to Charlotte, who was shivering.

“Boss… ….”

Charlotte staggered to her feet and climbed onto Adele’s lap, who was leaning on her bed.

She then hugged her knees and rolled her body into a circle.

Maybe it’s because we’ve become friends over the past few weeks, and it’s been easy skinship.

“Typhoons are scary.”

Saying that, Adele raised her head and stroked the head of the guy who was looking up at her.

Looking at that pure expression, as if it would be wagging eagerly if it had a tail, it seemed that even if it had something to say, it wouldn’t come off easily.

“Charlotte.”

“Yes.”

“How would you feel if I disappeared.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, what are you talking about?

It was an ominous question for Charlotte, who had recently followed Adele like her own brother.

But yes, if I had to imagine… ….

“Why, why…… ? Where are you going all of a sudden?”

It was like this.

Her voice just trembled, her tears welled up, and she grabbed her collar as if telling her not to go.

Before she knew it, she felt like this just by imagining falling out with Adele, who took great care of her as a maid.

If I really fell, it was almost certain that there would be crying and fuss.

The reaction made it harder for her to say anything, but it was something she had to say nonetheless.

The fairy tale will be solved tomorrow.

Soon, Adele, whose mind fluctuates because of Heidel’s hypnosis, will return.

Shouldn’t her Charlotte, who will feel a big difference between her own self and his self that she has seen so far, should prepare her mind.

Adele answered, biting her lip.

“Eggplant. Far away.”

“Yes? Can’t you take me too? Still, I’m the Bocchan’s exclusive maid…… Right now I can’t even serve one person properly, but I can learn quickly…….”

How should I explain?

How do I explain that the body stays the same, but only the soul changes so that Charlotte understands?

Adele kept stroking her anxious Charlotte, thinking over and over again, but she couldn’t come to mind.

“Because I can’t take you anywhere. I will come back someday though.”

A dark cloud hung over her face as the corners of Charlotte’s mouth drooped.

Her expression looked like it would pour rain out of her big eyes at any moment.

I’d like to say no, don’t go, but she couldn’t say that for fear of annoying herself.

“…… You’re coming back, right?”

But she didn’t cry.

She barely swallowed her cries that rose to her throat.

I felt like Adele would have disappeared if I went to sleep exhausted from her crying.

“Yes.”

“I promise.”

Turning around, Charlotte held out her little hand.

With her fists clenched, only her little finger stuck out like her hook.

Seeing that, Adele laughed and put her little finger on her little finger.

“Yes.”

After making that promise, the two stayed up all night in a dark room lit only by scarlet magic lights.

I read a book I haven’t read yet, and sometimes we chat, and then when my eyes get heavy from sleep, I wash my face with cold water and come back.

Charlotte worked hard to be with Adele, whom she would not see for long, and then, when the sun came up in the morning, she couldn’t stay awake and she stretched out on the bed.

In lieu of a pillow, I cut Adele’s arm and fell asleep with it close to his body.

And.

“…… What is he?”

Around the time the sun rose in the middle of the sky.

Charlotte, awakened by Adele pulling her arm off, sees and realizes the confused Adele.

‘Ah.’

He said he left.

Only then did Charlotte burst into tears.

* * *

“Go away!”

It was a bad command.

From noble mtl dot com

Wow.

Wine bottles, glasses, and objects that could be picked up fell on the floor in a parabolic arc, creating a mess.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone no matter what!”

All of that was Adele’s doing.

The maids trembled and left the room as if running away from his abusive language, assault, and f*cking light that continued every day.

“What are you doing when you don’t turn off?”

Adele’s drunken eyes turned to the maid who stood firm despite her orders.

It was Charlotte, now an adult.

“…… I will clean your room.”

“I would have told you to quit!”

The vase he threw landed in front of Charlotte, who was sweeping the messy floor.

Clang! With a roar in her ears, the shattered fragments grazed her Charlotte’s cheek, leaving a scar on her face.

“… ….”

But Charlotte didn’t care and cleaned up the litter on her floor.

So this room won’t turn into a garbage dump.

“That kid is amazing… ….”

And the maids who watched her through the door muttered.

Now, because of Adele’s violence, most people are afraid to be by Adele’s side.

But Charlotte always accepted his violence without showing any sign of fear, and from her point of view, she only wondered why she stepped in and got hurt.

“Since we were so close when we were young, we might be enduring it because of that.”

It was a past that any maid who wanted to stay in this mansion for a little while would know.

At that time, Adele took care of Charlotte who was sick, and took her to play every day.

Why did he suddenly change after taking care of him so well?

She didn’t know why, but she felt sorry for Charlotte who waited on him, and at the same time she was grateful.

Because she wouldn’t be able to wait on Adele if she didn’t have her.

“…… I’ll just go away.”

After finishing her cleaning, Charlotte bowed her head and closed her door.

The maid’s uniform, which had been tidy just a moment ago, and not even a speck of dust, was a mess with wine and shards of glass.

So Charlotte emptied her full trash.

When the day comes, she puts out as much trash as she threw away in the morning.

And when the sun went down, she sparred with someone who had worked as a mercenary for a long time, and when it was late at night, she read and studied alone in her small room without warmth.

It was a routine that I repeated like a machine after Adele disappeared.

The time to sleep is short, and while awake, it is a daily routine that puts her body at risk, but Charlotte endures and endures.

Adele, whom I saw as a child, seemed to know everything, but he may not be able to as time goes by. She

She needs to be strong so she can help without endangering Adele.

For that purpose, her whole body would roll to the point of dust, and she would read a book alone in a small room without warmth.

Waiting for Adele, who promised to return someday, she had lived a life of perseverance for Adele, thinking of him.

But.

It was unavoidable that even that mind would become a little blurry now.

It has been several years since Adele disappeared.

There is no sign that he will return, and now memories with him are about to fade.

In such a state, since I sometimes waited on Adele, who was becoming more and more ferocious, it was inevitable that I would like to rest in peace little by little.

At times like that, I turn over the worn-out diary I read every day so as not to forget the faded memories, and remember the warmth you left me at that time.

It was the only driving force that made it possible to endure Adele’s violence, but with the passage of time, what you left behind continued to fade, and it was around the time I feared that you might not return.

Smart.

I knocked thinking that no answer would come back like usual.

If you open the tightly closed door and wake up Adele, who has to go to the academy, you’ll throw everything in the room like yesterday and make a fuss.

I sighed at the sight of the future unfolding, but I couldn’t help it.

All the servants took both hands and feet for his violent behavior, so the only thing he could do was endure it.

Whoa, took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

“Boss, can I go in?”

No one will listen, but out of etiquette, he said that and opened the door.

“Okay, come in.”

At that moment, a familiar but unfamiliar voice came from beyond the door.

Unlike Adele, who raised her voice every day, it was soft and quiet.

The hand that was trying to open the door stopped at that voice.

It’s not because I wonder why he would start cursing at me in normal times.

This voice, this tone, it must have belonged to him in faded memories.

With that alone, Charlotte knew that her own long wait would be over.

“Ah.”

This is Adele.

She is the Adele she has been waiting for so long.

She reached out to him when he was still young, showed him a new world, sometimes saved him from danger, took care of him when he was sick, and dared to fall in love with him.

The thought of his return made him unable to enter the room.

How should I treat him when I see him? Should I say he’s been waiting a long time? Why should he be complaining about coming back now? Or should he just jump on his chest and hug him like he did when he was a kid?

I don’t know.

So she couldn’t move.

Standing as firm as a stone statue, I can hear his approaching footsteps.

Trumbling.

I can’t control my trembling eyes, and steam seems to rise from my complicated head.

It’s a reunion I’ve been waiting for so long, but I’m nervous and I think it’s going to be messed up.

Kikik.

I couldn’t do this or that, so the door opened.

“Why are you standing there like a statue?”

She looked up at him.

Adele’s face she saw every day.

However, even though the face may be the same, the atmosphere flowing from the expression is quite different.

I was used to the caring nature that could not be hidden.

Thump thump…….

My heart started beating.

From a certain moment, the heart that could not feel the beating came back to life.

Thump thump…….

Blood circulated all over my body at the busily beating heart.

Fever rises in my ears, and my face feels like it’s about to explode.

The warmth he had left in himself poked out his head like a spring sprout.

Why did you make me wait so long?

Do you know how much I suffered because of you?

The heart that was overlaid on the affection that was resenting and arguing melted away in an instant in the warmth.

I was willing to forgive those things just for the fact that he returned as promised.

What remained in my heart like that was just a feeling of yearning.

It’s just that heart that waited for him and longed for him again and again.

“Ah, ah. Sorry.”

Then the surroundings began to blur with delight.

As soon as I saw him, I couldn’t control my tears.

As soon as they met Charlotte, she bowed her head because she couldn’t look unsightly.
