The Golden Sun of the Academy

Chapter 71

Corruption (1)

The time when the golden sun met the sky.

Near Hongik University Station, I succeeded in contacting Anya and Chevalier. As soon as I came up from the basement, there was a famous hamburger shop as a super-longevity company in the building I saw.

Wearing plain jeans, a white T-shirt, and a light rider jacket, Anya looked at the Chevalier in a striking nun’s uniform with a curious look.

“Lee… … . Doesn’t it stand out too much?”

“Are other Awakened people around you similar?”

Chevalier muttered as she looked around in the wide-sleeved nun’s uniform, waving her arms. By the standards of the majority of the general public, the clothes that stood out were correct. However, the Awakeners who were seen from time to time were also formidably distinguished by their clothes-excessive exposure, full-body armor, etc.

Anya looked around for a moment and then nodded. Certainly, there were plenty of people who were more eye-catching than the girls to say it was because of their clothes.

“is it? If it wasn’t for the clothes… … . Why are my eyes so focused… … ?”

“uh… … . If you don’t know, it’s not bad to just stay that way. no sheep.”

“okay?”

Seeing Anya unable to read the desire in the eyes of those around her, Chevalier shook her head as she looked her up and down.

While they are aware that their eyes are focused on them, they are completely unable to grasp the emotions contained within them.

‘Maybe it’s better not to figure it out?’ As Chevalier reflected on the meaning of the gaze focused on Anya, her mind went blank for a moment.

“By the way, what are you going to do now? There will be no purpose for coming.”

“ah. that… … . wait for a sec?”

After telling him to wait, Anya disappeared from Chevalier’s sight for a moment, then reappeared a moment later. When she returned, she was smiling as if she had picked up something.

“You can go to the department store near the transfer station!”

“What have you been doing?”

“Ah, seeing a familiar face. I asked about the purpose of coming here.”

“yes? why is that… … ?”

“… … It’s my first time doing something like this, so I need to look around.”

“… … Isn’t that dangerous?”

“well… … . It wasn’t like that at all when I saw it.”

Chevalier narrowed her eyes at Anya’s words and looked at her. What the hell does he want to do? Chevalier, who thought she had a little understanding of Anya, corrected her thoughts.

Ordinary people could not understand Anya, and Anya could not sympathize with ordinary people.

Under the judgment that Anya’s troubles would be known only by watching, Chevalier quietly followed her lead.

The two entered the department store after passing between the high-rise shopping district and the wide paved road.

Upon entering the first floor of the department store, a colorful cosmetics shop and a perfume shop with all kinds of fragrances greet the two.

Unlike Anya, who was excitedly looking around, Chevalier was repulsed by the feast of luxurious items. Chevalier raised his arm and covered his nose with his sleeve, frowning at the strong smell of perfume.

“Lee, are you okay?”

“little… … . It’s dizzy, but it’s okay.”

To Anya’s worried question, Chevalier answered with a shy smile to alleviate her worries. Looking at Chevalier, Anya looked around and found a chair near the bathroom.

“Would you like to sit over there and rest for a while?”

“no. It’s really fine! I said I would help, but I can tolerate this much.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

I started walking around the first floor of the department store with Chevalier, who refused to take a break. In this action of chasing after Golden Sun, Anya felt something hanging on her chest go down little by little.

Anya and Chevalier ran across the white department store floor, and Anya asked people in the middle if there had been a commotion during the day.

The reply was that there was an affair between a blonde young man and a foreign lady, and the young man had run away.

After hearing the story, Anya was sure that the young man who had run away was Golden Taeyang.

“Lee, let’s go outside.”

“Really?”

“uh… … . I think I saw everything I had to do here.”

“Then, let’s get out of here!”

Chevalier, who was dying, was delighted with Anya’s words and was revived in an instant. In the middle of going back to the front door to go out like that… … .

“no… … ? Why are you stopping?”

“… … .”

Anya, who had been walking along, stopped. Do I really need to stay in this terrible place? Chevalier’s already pale face turned pale.

The place where the two of them stopped was in front of a cosmetics store. The mirror held out was accurately reflecting Anya’s appearance.

Anya’s gaze stays on the mirror.

She was staring at the mirror and the cosmetics underneath, as if possessed.

“Rie, have you ever put on makeup?”

“no. Why makeup?”

“Makeup… … . Shall we try?”

“… … yes?”

Anya, thinking of the golden sun for a moment, bit her lower lip… … .

went inside the store

“Eh… … . let’s go together!”

Anya and Chevalier were distracted by all kinds of colorful cosmetics and fancy cases, and looked around.

Contrary to the bold steps they entered, the two of them who entered the room slowly began to feel intimidated.

“welcome!”

Since it was the first time for both of them to be in a store like this, the lively greetings of the clerk did not even reach their ears.

It was because Anya hadn’t been paying attention to her appearance, and Chevalier thought makeup was an act unsuitable for a clergyman.

When the female clerk saw the two bewildered, she came running in a hurry.

“Is there anything you are looking for?”

Anya’s eyes lit up at the clerk’s words.

Her eyes were filled with strange heat.

Anya suddenly turned around and grabbed Chevalier by the shoulders.

Chevalier, who met Anya’s eyes that were burning like fireworks, was startled by the force and hiccups.

“Rie-!”

“Uh, uh. yes?”

“let’s do it.”

“… … yes?”

Chevalier’s face instantly turned red at Anya’s words that cut back and forth. No matter how clerical they are, they just don’t practice it, but they have everything common sense, and they do everything they can imagine.

Leaving behind Chevalier, who had swallowed her saliva, Anya boldly shouted to the clerk.

“The two of us… … !”

Anya paused without finishing her words, pondering for a moment.

Then he looked the Chevalier up and down for a moment.

“… … not this I’ll do it!”

“uh… … . What about me?”

I changed my words.

At Anya’s swift change of attitude, Chevalier opened her mouth.

Then Chevalier, who pondered for a while… … .

“I’ll do it too!”

As if he realized something, he set out to do it himself.

* * *

Anya looked Chevalier up and down and changed her words.

“… … not this I’ll do it!”

“uh… … . It is, but What about me?”

At Chevalier’s question, No was instantly stunned. For some reason, when Chevalier said he wanted to put on makeup, I became impatient.

A strange feeling welled up in her chest and Anya raised a question mark above her head. It was the first time I felt this way. I feel twisted like the heart of a snake that recommends the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

Then he looked the Chevalier up and down.

Looking at it objectively, it was pretty. Even if it wasn’t, I could tell the difference to that extent.

It was just a problem because she was pretty and couldn’t understand the feelings of other people.

however… … . It seemed that I could understand it a little now.

I want to stand out in front of the golden sun.

I don’t know why. I just wanted to draw attention in front of him. I don’t like it when I imagine Golden Sun giving attention to other people.

It was the thought I had from the moment I saw my face in the mirror before entering the store.

I’m sorry for Chevalier, but I came in blindly first.

In the meantime, I went around without makeup, but when I thought of Taeyang’s face, I wanted to monopolize his gaze.

however… … .

“I’ll do it too!”

Chevalier’s sudden words made Anya dizzy.

Chevalier hated going to see Golden Sun with makeup on.

Here Anya was thrown into confusion. Chevalier obviously came along to help him.

Of course, it was right to help her instead of stopping her if she wanted to.

But why?

He wanted to stop Chevalier from choosing cosmetics next to him.

Seeing Chevalier smiling brightly, Anya’s eyes wavered.

Anya, who couldn’t make up her mind for a moment, sat down in her chair and corrected her posture as the staff approached. Yes, if you become prettier than Rie, you will be able to monopolize Taeyang’s attention.

“Come on, customer. Let me help you.”

Thinking only of the golden sun, he makes his skin white.

Thinking of Taeyang’s interest, he draws his eyelashes long.

Thinking of Taeyang’s gaze, he painted his lips red, very bright red.

Because I can’t lose to Chevalier.

He didn’t want to turn his attention to someone else.

“oh. You are so pretty. The original version is good, so I think it is very well received.”

Anya, who looked in the mirror when the staff’s touch was over… … .

He also looked at his own clothes.

Are you dressed too casually?

I wanted to tear it all apart.

When this is over, I’ll have to check my bank account balance.

* * *

Chevalier only then understood Anya’s purpose. It was such a cute worry. I felt like an idiot for having been suffering all alone for nothing.

It’s my first time doing makeup, but when I was about to do it, I was afraid that it was difficult, so I guess you asked me to go with you!

Is it somehow dangerous? Like a child left at the water’s edge, the worrying about Anya was gone. Instead, it was personal desire and rationalization that occupied it.

‘Human Chevalier’ whispers in her ear.

– You’ve been patient for a long time, but you can do makeup. Are you helping a friend there?

A time of agony came to Chevalier. You shouldn’t do such worldly things… … .

Anya, who narrowed her eyes and looked around, came into view.

… … to do. I wanted to do it so much. Even though he was a priest, his desire was not castrated.

As a priest, Chevalier had lived a life rejecting secular things.

Anyway, Chevalier was also a girl of high school age. She also wanted to wear makeup like all of her friends, and there were many things she wanted.

If he had been in France, the clerical priests around him would have stopped him.

– A saintess must distance herself from the world.

-Saints must abandon worldly desires.

-The saintess must be mmm.

-The saintess… … .

When I think back on those memories, I feel stressed and fed up. I thought maybe I might have let go of myself. In Chevalier’s ear, the ‘Human Chevalier’ strikes a decisive blow.

-There is a pretext for helping a friend, but at this level, even the person in heaven will forgive you? to be honest… … Don’t you want to too?

Think long, but act fast. Chevalier said to Anya.

“I’ll do it too!”

In the name of being helpful to a friend, she decided to try something worldly. And I apologized to the Lord in my heart.

‘… … sorry lord Please forgive me just once, just once.’

After finishing Anya’s makeup, the clerk moved closer to her.

On the other side of the Golden Sun table, Kang Ha-neul is crossing her fingers. Then, he glanced at Taeyang’s eyes and brushed his long side hair once.

Kang Ha-neul was confident. As I asked Taeyang the other day, he is younger and has long straight hair.

The preparation was perfect.
