68. A completely twisted future

***

“M-I’m sorry… !”

Luna’s face was flushed red as anyone could see.

It’s very awkward to say such a thing, and everyone feels that it’s not used to it.

“…”

At the time when even the natural looking at it was greatly perplexed, Milia ironically felt relieved.

‘I’m glad you apologized properly.’

Rumors inflated due to Luna’s misunderstanding spread quickly, and eventually caused damage to Han Chun-seong.

I couldn’t get enough of it. It was because Luna, knowingly and unknowingly, showed an apologetic expression to Han Chun-seong.

So all weekend I persuaded Luna.

It’s better to apologize properly to Han Chun-seong.

The Luna I knew wasn’t a twisted or bad child. Because he’s just a close friend who’s really bad at dealing with people.

“…”

You could tell that just by looking at Luna, who handed her an apology and bowed her head.

Even this look of hesitant lips and not knowing where to put his gaze was a reaction that could not have been shown if he hadn’t been really sorry.

Then, I also looked at Han Chun-seong.

“Are you apologizing for the past rumors?”

When asked if that was the case, Luna nodded slightly instead of answering.

I felt that it was my turn to step out as he hesitated with his lips stretched out in embarrassment.

“right. Rumors spread due to Luna’s misunderstanding. I still think it’s too late, but Luna came here because she wanted to apologize in person.”

“It was… it was.”

“Luna was really worried about you. Like how Instructor Carly treated you coldly last week, in fact, I also thought that this should be settled properly.”

My heart, speaking on behalf of Luna, was extremely calm.

In fact, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

There were some cases where Luna’s misunderstanding or judgment caused damage to someone. Every time I’ve been mediating the situation.

Just like now

“…”

After that, Han Chun-seong was silently looking at Luna strangely, as if she was surprised by Luna’s attitude.

And even that attitude. I felt taken for granted.

‘Because it’s Luna.’

Luna is pretty and full of charm.

However, for Luna, her sharp personality, which was more than enough to cover up her charm, served as a major disadvantage.

Due to self-righteous or self-centered thinking, no one can readily approach Luna. And even the approaching person treats them roughly like a rose with thorns or hurts them with sharp words. There was no one to hang out with except for me.

…and that’s why. It was really rare for Luna to hand over an apology.

So it was expected. That Han Chun-seong would have the same reaction as now.

“okay. First of all… Thank you for apologizing like this. It’s something I didn’t care too much for now, but I apologize. It seems to ease my mind a bit.”

When Han Chun-seong accepted it more easily than I thought, I looked at Luna rather than replying.

Now was important.

The broken relationship must be corrected quickly so that it can go smoothly. And the important thing is that I shouldn’t have done it instead.

Luna had to say it herself to have the proper meaning.

“…”

Even when Luna hesitated to answer Han Chun-seong’s words,

Seruk.

I lightly held Luna’s hand and encouraged her.

As usual, our eyes met gently, and Luna nodded.

“at that time. After sparring with you… I’m really sorry that I only said what I had to say, that I misunderstood you on my own…”

However, I was a little surprised by the apology that was neater than I thought.

‘Has Luna grown too?’

Or, I didn’t know if my words persuading him over the weekend had a big change of heart. Even so, I was more satisfied with Luna continuing her conversation more than I thought.

Apologize properly and look at Han Chun-seong as if to face it.

Luna’s blushing, blushing appearance was attractive enough for me to see.

So inadvertently… my gaze went.

To Chun-seong Han, who will look at Luna like that.

“……”

Han Chun-seong, who blinked in an instant, was different from before.

It seems that Luna’s appearance is so unexpected, but the feeling of bewilderment is revealed in the expression.

And at the appearance of such a celestial castle… .

My heart was greatly shaken.

“…”

One side of his chest throbbed. It felt like a sharp pain for no reason.

The insubstantial pain as if someone kept digging my chest with a knife.

It was… so strange.

I wanted to set things right between the two of them for Han Chun-seong, who had been harmed by a close friend’s misunderstanding. So I put all my effort into persuading Luna all weekend.

‘I really did… .’

I didn’t know why my heart was shaking like this again.

It’s a very good thing for the two of them to clear up misunderstandings.

It’s definitely a good thing.

Why is that all of a sudden… you want to hate it?

***

A night full of darkness.

clap.

Returning to the dormitory, Chun-seong leaned against the door as it was. Then, he wiped his face down and took a deep breath.

“……”

Breathe out slowly, breathe in again, and calm your confused mind.

“What the hell… how is it going?”

I felt a greater sense of crisis now than ever before.

That’s Gerard and David’s sparring today. All of that, including the confusion he experienced after getting to know Adelia, wasn’t that important.

Because such things can be passed over as just happenings in the moment.

It was a good ending though.

However. The fact that Luna apologized to me at the training ground was a big deal that couldn’t be compared to what happened before.

‘Because it’s impossible.’

Luna’s apology was originally something that shouldn’t have happened. I would have accepted it with ease if someone else had apologized for being entangled with me in such a matter.

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but it shouldn’t be like ‘Luna’.

The Luna I knew is a heroine with a carefree personality, self-centered and self-righteous. I definitely felt that way when I first met her at the entrance ceremony.

So, seeing Luna’s attitude towards me, I was relieved even though it was unpleasant at first.

Because it was Luna’s personality I thought.

“Why did you suddenly change your attitude?

It is true that rumors spread due to misunderstanding and that I suffered damage. But that didn’t mean that Luna would show such a drastic change of heart.

Luna’s ‘correct change’ is too premature to appear now.

That was entirely Leonhardt’s fault. He corrects Luna’s character and guides her on the right path.

That becomes a decisive opportunity, and Leonhard and Luna later develop into a romantic relationship.

The main character of this world was Leonhard, and Luna was his heroine.

But today… it’s broken.

I was feeling a great sense of crisis, almost certain.

The event that can be said to be the biggest turning point for Luna, who has to be involved with Leonhardt, has disappeared as of today. This is purely because I feel good or bad. It was something to be taken very seriously.

“I… what should I do?”

Even as he spat out suppressed words, even his vision seemed dizzy.

A huge crisis that Leonhardt will face in the future. And when he fell into critical condition due to an unavoidable major wound.

‘Who the hell will heal him?’

I was very conscious of Leonhardt being the main character, to the extent that I thought about him hundreds of times.

Because he is the world’s ‘protagonist’ who will overcome the first crisis that will soon come upon this academy, and the catastrophic events that will follow.

If Luna doesn’t get involved with that guy, everything will be ruined.

The foundation of this world I believe in. The belief that Leonhardt would go through and overcome all trials was greatly shaken.

“…”

Awareness was the event that could be said to be an important quarter for Luna to become conscious of Leonhardt in earnest.

You shouldn’t act like this. There is someone who corrects it and leads it straight.

As much as Luna was the main heroine, her emotional portrayal comes out in great detail even within the work.

How big of a decision she made before she apologized, and even how hard she made up her mind… all of them.

Because Luna is properly apologizing because she properly admits her self-righteous thoughts, values, and mistakes, and makes great progress to move forward.

That the most important branch related to Leonhard has completely disappeared.

I had to feel it all over again in my blank thoughts.

Seruk.

Even as I roughly unwrapped my cadet uniform, my heart suddenly felt endlessly stuffy.

All along, I’ve been vaguely feeling it.

The world I know called Groa and this world are gradually different. But it was a feeling that was clearly realized through Luna’s apology.

“…the future is completely changing.”

Is there anything that worries me as much as that right now?

As much as I know the future of this world, I have been thinking about the attitude I should take.

The moment I grew up in sparring with Leonhard. I’ve been thinking that if I get involved with the main characters as much as possible, I’ll have to break off the relationship and help them.

Yes, it is because they need them to make this world run properly, and to safely overcome various disasters and accidents.

Since it was directly related to my comfort, I really took it for granted.

That’s how important he was looking at the main characters of Groa.

It’s not that I’m trying to discriminate against anyone, it’s because the world could really be ruined without them in the first place.

“The Grand Royal Academy…”

I muttered the name of this world in a daze, and an empty laugh leaked out.

Looking at the title alone, it can be seen as a common novel that is intertwined with various heroines in academy, but in reality, it is a novel that leads to a tightrope that is close to a dark fantasy.

Obviously, there are some absurd developments, and many readers curse.

Nevertheless, the reason why many readers followed the novel called Groa. It was because he was curious about how Leonhardt would overcome in the midst of endless crises.

Crisis comes without a break.

dump.

I sat down on the bed and continued to breathe deeply.

‘different.’

I thought I should clearly recognize that this world is different from the Groa I know.

The main heroine who can be said to be one of the main pillars to overcome the crisis in the future.

Today, the biggest quarter that Luna will be involved with… Leonhard has disappeared. It was like facing another reality.

Now I’m at peace

The crucial fact that I can no longer entrust the future of this world to Leonhard… … .
