I was busy walking between the buildings in the academy.

Even so, Carly, whom I had faced a moment ago, flickered in front of my eyes.

—-I think it can be postponed to a later date if there is a prior agreement, but since Cadet Han Chun-seong has obtained clues about his skills, I fully understand how excited his heart is. So… OK, let’s meet on the weekend night.

Carly answered me with a little hesitation. That’s how I made an appointment with Kali to practice at 9 o’clock on the weekend.

And even now, I couldn’t stop the steps I took.

‘I’m late.’

In my heart, I just wanted to run, but my body wasn’t completely normal, so I couldn’t bear to run.

Because I feel like I’m going to fall while running. So, the best thing now was to walk quickly and head for the park.

…

“…ha”

I was able to reach the park not too late even though I was breathing heavily.

And I could see The figure of Glesia sitting on a bench and waiting for me quietly.

Looking at her back, her mouth was open in a daze.

“…it can’t go on like this.”

really… .

I didn’t have the slightest space in my heart. Meeting someone regularly in this situation came as too much of a burden to me.

It wasn’t that meeting Glesia was burdensome, it was just that I was having a hard time.

I couldn’t afford to do that just because I met someone else, and I felt like my head would explode just thinking about the work and skills to be done next week.

He took a deep breath as he approached slowly.

“Glesia.”

When I carefully called her, I could see her turning to me.

Sararak.

As she looked straight at me with her signature dark blue hair, Glesia’s eyes went up as it were.

“late.”

“…sorry. I didn’t want to be late either.”

As I spoke, only an awkward laugh came out.

I checked the time and it was past 6pm. It’s only 2 minutes, but I’m late because I’m late.

Naturally, while seated next to her, he made eye contact with her.

“Sorry to keep you waiting again.”

“…It’s okay. But I’m glad you came here.”

“Relief?”

“I heard that you passed out. So even if you couldn’t keep your promise today, I was going to accept it.”

…Glesia said with her eyes closed as if she hadn’t opened them when.

At that, I inadvertently asked.

“Has the rumor spread already?”

“They’re actually in the same building, just different floors. Then, once rumors spread, they spread really quickly. There’s agar. It’s not just me, other cadets are also interested in you. It can spread even faster.”

I nodded my head at the words that followed, and I felt a momentary sense of distance from my excessive words.

Even if I didn’t come, I said that I was going to accept it.

Because that was a bit odd.

“I see. But Glaceon. Even if I didn’t come, were you going to keep waiting in the park?”

“I was just waiting in the park to gather my thoughts. And in fact, I went to the infirmary as well. You are already gone.”

I felt that we were at odds with each other in her calm words. I don’t know when Glesia stopped by the infirmary, but I was grateful for that word alone.

“Thank you anyway. You said you came because you were worried about me.”

“…worry?”

“uh. Didn’t you come all the way to the infirmary because you were worried about me?”

I laughed a little while talking.

He had to be concerned enough to find me in person. And Glessia’s worries sounded pleasant.

“right. Maybe I was worried about you too. Because we are friends.”

“okay. Because we are friends.”

“yes. You and I are friends now.”

It was funny to see each other repeating the same words.

It made me think again.

‘A friend.’

If we were really friends, I needed to communicate properly.

“Glesia. I’m saying this because we’re really friends. We promised to meet regularly now and we are meeting like this.”

“yes. Why?”

“It’s nothing else… I want to change it a little bit fluidly. Of course you do too, but I also take time off regularly. I feel like I’m running out of time.”

Rather than neglecting Glesia, now was the time for me to focus.

I was just focusing on Karite and my growth right now, so I couldn’t afford to worry about anything else.

Even today, I had completely forgotten about Glesia. There was no law saying it wouldn’t happen next time.

“……”

Looking at Glesia who didn’t say anything to my words, I carefully brought out the words.

“So. For the time being, let’s go visit each other whenever we want to see each other. Of course, it’s good to meet regularly, but to be honest, I can’t afford it right now.”

“…How much do you have free time?”

“I have someone I need to meet right now, and more than anything, I feel like I’m standing at an important crossroads in my growth. In fact, the rumor that he lost consciousness yesterday also happened while training yesterday.”

In response to Glesia’s question, I didn’t say anything else.

As I did before, and as Glesia told me now. We have clearly established our relationship as friends.

If so, I also wanted to explain the situation as it is, rather than hiding something from her or making excuses.

“Agar Castle. What the hell… how much are you immersed in your training?”

When she asked if she didn’t understand what I was saying, I told the truth.

“actually. Lately I’ve been getting clues about… skills.”

As rumors about me spread really fast, even the image I showed at the training ground today will spread quickly. Then there is no point in hiding it.

I said it in that sense.

“…!”

Seeing the surprised Glesia, maybe it was my hasty idea.

The wide open eyes and dumbfounded expression made Glesia look really surprised.

“…a skill?”

“uh. I haven’t finished it yet, and I think it will take some time, but I’ve got a clue.”

“Really… did you get a clue about the skill?”

Glesia’s eyes, which repeatedly asked, had a young disbelief that it was hard to believe.

Even pure Glesia was asking this question over and over again. And I know her reaction is a normal one.

It must have been that Instructor Ludmina spoke to me in an excited tone that was rare to see today. Even the look of Carly, who was really surprised.

‘That’s because it’s hard to believe that I got a clue about the skill.’

Even me, I would have been very surprised if Leonhardt had given me a clue about the skill at level 4.

“How the hell… how is that even possible?”

“No matter what… I honestly don’t know. Let’s really earnestly want and hope again, because it seems like heavenly luck followed me.”

“…because I desperately want it.”

I felt again how absurd it was for me to have caught a clue about the skill by seeing Glesia’s casual conversation.

fortune or miracle. No matter what, there was really no shortage of skills. The fact that clues about skills appeared to me was unexpected even for me.

“So. Glesia. For the time being, we’ll put off meeting regularly. I want to devote myself to my practice.”

Continuing, I speak sincerely.

Glesia, who told me that she was a friend, would understand me. And I thought you would accept… … .

“for now… .”

However, Glesia, who suddenly closed her eyes, showed a hesitant appearance.

“Yes, for the time being. Until I complete my skill.”

“That… until exactly when?”

Looking at Glesia, who was strangely obsessed with dating, I couldn’t understand again.

‘Why are you doing this?’

…I thought you would accept it if we became friends. It didn’t really feel like that.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.

“For now, until next week.”

“Until next week… .”

“okay. Until then, I want you to stop meeting regularly for a while. Because you understand me is something you can do after that.”

Seeing Glesia’s constant questioning, I didn’t feel frustrated with her.

Because she is such a pure woman. She wasn’t the type to keep her thoughts in mind in the first place. The direct type who tries to express the feelings he feels and seeks answers from the other person.

…In a way, it can be said that being too direct is a problem, but I thought that was her nature itself. Because sometimes I know there are people who have to act that way. could be accepted

And at my repeated answers, Glesia finally seemed to understand.

“…okay. I will.”

“thank you. Glesia.”

Even as I spoke, my heart was at ease.

Weekends were also a time for me to rest. And even if I met someone in my current situation, it seemed that my heart would continue to be sold on training.

Right now, I have to meet Karite tomorrow, so I can’t help it. It was because I needed the minimum amount of time to go along with the training.

“Agar Castle.”

Let’s inadvertently make eye contact with the voice we heard. Glesia looked at me with very strange eyes.

His transparent eyes seemed to contain something different from before.

“You are the first for me.”

“…first? What is your first time?”

For a while, Glessia exhaled calmly and answered again, while being taken aback by the bottomless, unique way of speaking.

“Someone I truly considered a friend. And I’m saying that you’re the first person to ever accept me like this.”

“It was the first time in that sense. If you say so, I will be grateful.”

Surprised by the sudden words, I could only nod my head.

Because her words are sincere. I had nothing to say other than thank you.

“So, I have a lot of questions among my friends.”

“What specifically are you curious about? I will answer anything I can answer.”

For me, Glesia wasn’t my first friend, but I could say that she was a close friend.

“I’m curious about what friends usually do.”

“…with friends?”

“yes. In that sense, I want you to do what friends do while I’m with you. Speaking directly like this, honestly, I’m embarrassed too. But if I say this, I think I can act comfortably with you in the future.”

The words that followed did not feel like such a difficult request.

In the first place, being friends doesn’t mean doing anything special, just hanging out with each other.

“What a difficult request that is. Since we are friends, I can do anything between friends.”

“That… is it true?”

“yes. Really.”

…I felt strange at the moment while answering.

‘Is this something I have to ask again and again?’

Even though I thought that way, it was Glessia again. I was convinced again.

“Then can we start today?”

…Glesia asks in an expectant tone. For a moment I wondered if I was mistaken.

‘The concept of a friend I think… .’

Is Glesia’s concept of a friend different?

“Uh… you can do it.”

As I answered, I couldn’t explain this strange feeling in words.

And then.

Glesia has arrived.

And that’s without me even having time to react at all… … .

Really… it came so suddenly.
