32. Demalico

Lately, I’ve been feeling a strange connection with Rin. He approaches with a smile while holding his body too close.

And I often try to get confirmation that I don’t hate myself, but at first I wondered if he was insecure.

But looking at the expression, it’s not like that.

‘Is it just that I just want to keep hearing that?’

For example, just as I want to keep hearing from my lover that I love her, Lynn wants to keep hearing that I don’t hate her.

To be honest, I feel annoyed and tired now, but I gave up halfway because I couldn’t smile so brightly if I told you that once.

“Wow, you must be really tired.”

Just now, Rin came to our class and talked, so Tana, who was watching it, stuck out her tongue.

“Why don’t we just date each other?”

I sighed as an answer to Tana, who spoke sarcastically.

If it was usual, Eve would have intervened here and stabbed her painfully while being polite, but today it is quiet.

“Well?”

“What kind of book could our Eve be so obsessed with?”

Tana and I turned our attention to Eve, who was sitting next to us, but Eve was still reading, unable to hear us.

“What book are you reading?”

“I think it has something to do with plants? A picture is drawn.”

As we continued to look at it like that, Eve, who met our eyes as she turned the pages of the bookshelf, asked in amazement.

“Uh… Why, why are you like that?”

“What are you reading so intently?”

“Because our Eve is cute.”

Tana playing a prank on me and Eve looking at the cover of the book. It’s definitely a book about plants, but I don’t think I’m so immersed in reading it.

That level of concentration was the same as when reading a romance novel. Because Eve likes romance.

While I am puzzled, Eve whispers.

“Actually, I have a Belliment that I have been raising since 2nd grade, but the color is strange.”

Belliment is the name of a flower, and it is characterized by its strong vitality that blooms at this time of year and continues to bloom until winter.

The flowers are pretty and even beginners can easily grow them. I was interested in it because I had grown various plants while living in the forest of the Demon Realm.

“The color is strange?”

“Originally, it’s normal to have a light purple color, but that’s black.”

“Black color?”

I was going to tell you that if you put some red or yellow color on it, the color may change a little depending on the surrounding environment, but black?

“Where are you growing them?”

“There is a flower bed at the back of our restaurant. I was secretly raising them there.”

“okay? It’s lunch time soon, so let’s go together.”

So we listened to the lecture and ate lunch at the restaurant. Then, when we went to the back of the restaurant, the flower bed was really blooming with black flowers.

“Hmm?”

Although it’s behind the restaurant, there’s no big problem with the element itself because it’s a flower with a very strong vitality. Because Eve takes good care of it, it looks more lively than the surrounding plants.

“Then why don’t you buy a flowerpot and grow it behind a flower bed like this?”

“Actually, I didn’t mean to raise it…”

Tana and Eve were talking, but I frowned and continued to check the belliment.

‘The problem is that the colors are different, but the shape and texture of the leaves are different. The stem, on the other hand, is overly strong.’

When I dug down the soil, there were quite a few corpses of insects.

“……”

I knew something strange was going on, but I didn’t really know why it happened.

However, one thing is for sure, as opposed to Eve who worked hard to raise the veilment, someone malicious is ruining this flower bed.

‘It’s not just Elements. The flower bed itself is broken.’

Elements were particularly severe, though.

There were also things like cherry tomatoes and basil grown in the restaurant in the flower bed, but what does that have to do with me? The restaurant will take care of it.

But personally, I was curious.

Even in the barren environment of the demonic forest, growing crops to eat and flowers to refresh the atmosphere, I didn’t know about?

‘It’s interesting.’

After saying let’s go, I broke up with the two and went to May separately.

Mei’s gang gathers on the school roof during lunchtime and hangs out among themselves.

“What is he?”

“Are you E class Daniel? Are you secretly close to Mei?”

“It’s not like they’re close, it’s just Mei playing with them.”

I heard something saying, but I just ignored it and went straight to Mei. She leaned over the railing and sucked candy and asked me without looking at me.

“What’s up?”

“Let’s put some kids in the back of the restaurant for a while.”

Then Mei asks what are you talking about and looks at me, biting the candy.

“There’s something strange there, so go and check it out.”

My conscience was a little pricked because of my personal curiosity, but if you endure it for a while, you can easily find out the secret.

“Do you know what my bastards are? They are all friends.”

“Hmm?”

This is a bit of an unexpected answer.

Of course I thought you were just thinking like a limb.

Then he pouts his mouth and asks after a while.

“how much?”

“Well, as long as possible?”

“Can you tell me what is causing this?”

If I say it, I feel like I’ll be hit right away, so I shake my head with a serious expression for nothing.

“No, it could be dangerous if you know nothing about it.”

i mean

Then, Mei tangles her hair and gets annoyed.

“Anyway, this bastard’s academy never has a quiet day. As long as Reiros is left behind, the incident will happen after it calms down.”

“……”

My conscience is pricked for no reason, so I keep my mouth shut.

Mei let out a deep sigh and turned her back to the gang.

“Guys, do you guys know what’s going on in the flower bed behind the restaurant?”

He may have asked just in case, but the entire gang flinched at the moment. That’s not the end, even the students glaring at me for bringing the topic.

“what?”

Mei looked puzzled as if she hadn’t expected such a reaction.

“You know what?”

May asked with a frown on her face, and one of the girls who had been keeping her mouth shut slowly opened her mouth.

“That’s where we smoke…”

“What?”

“No, Mei doesn’t smoke anymore. We go and smoke by ourselves.”

Then Mei shrugged and looked at me. You say this? A smile came out of her expression as if asking.

No, but why are these students talking about smoking cigarettes so confidently?

“Where do you buy them from?”

However, it was strange that the condition of the plants had changed so bizarre just because I only smoked secondhand cigarettes.

“Say it.”

But when Mei said a word, she immediately responded with a smirk.

“We don’t know. It’s where Demalico personally drilled, so if you give him money, he’ll buy it for you.”

“Hey, honestly, you’re going to leave some of that, right?”

“Because he said he had no money these days.”

“I’m following you somewhere, so I’ll have to follow you.”

Suddenly, I gathered my eyes again with a cough and asked the people who were whispering to each other.

“Where is Demalico?”

If you look at the gossip like this, it means that there is no one here.

Then one of the boys replies.

“I am resting in the dormitory because I am not feeling well today.”

“You idiot, you bastard.”

“Ah, today was the day I got a cigarette.”

He squatted down and slapped the grunt in the head and headed for the door.

“Stop it from today. From today on, if you smell cigarettes in the academy, you’re after whoever smokes.”

Then, they were about to rush at me, but after May told me to calm down, they followed me.

“What are you following?”

“Demaliko and I have been friends since first grade. And something strange is why you follow me like this.”

“……”

Actually, I came simply because I was curious about the color of the flowers that had changed so much, but I felt that the situation was going strangely.

This was a bluff for Mei, but it wouldn’t really be a big deal, right?

That’s how we found Tana and Eve eating snacks at a cafe on the way to the dormitory.

“Hey, didn’t you say you were losing weight?”

“You worked hard in the morning!”

“Lunch Eve ate deliciously, so dinner Eve will work hard…”

It’s all the same Eve anyway…

“Daniel, did you find out why the flower color changed?”

“Um, I’m looking.”

Just in case Mei heard about it, I hesitated and went straight into the dormitory.

“The color of the flower?”

Mei’s low voice from behind.

I quickly climbed the stairs right away, but Mei followed closely behind me.

“Is it possible that you were trembling like this because of the change in flower color?”

rough speech.

“……”

“hey.”

I started to get annoyed, pounding my back with fists, but I got to Demalico’s room on the 3rd floor just in time.

“Hey, Demalico!”

“Look at the fuss around trying to turn this around.”

He was a boy who didn’t know his face, but he didn’t want to hear Mei’s accusations, so he opened the door without knocking.

There was a girl and a boy who looked like Demalico.

At first I thought they were dating, but it wasn’t because of the fact that they were holding a dagger around Demalico’s neck.

At first, the girl was someone I knew.

“sen?”

Contrary to her usual overflowing emotions, she was aiming a dagger at Demalico with a completely expressionless expression.

Demalico is crying.

“What, Malico?”

The skin had turned into tree bark and was falling off.
