There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

67. Frustration

“This is the final result.”

The homeroom teacher gathered us who had run out of stamina and talked.

“No. 1. Luna party.”

Yuri and Arin clapped their hands together and laughed.

They couldn’t have imagined that they would win against a party of warriors.

Luna, the protagonist of the victory, silently glanced at our party.

“No. 2. Warrior’s party.”

It was correct to say that the atmosphere of our party was, in fact, that of a mourning house.

As soon as the test with Luna’s party was over, Kairin grabbed my collar.

[hey. Dog star. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? How could you make that mistake at the last minute? Are you doing that on purpose? what the hell are you thinking Say something!]

[…sorry.]

[Is it something to be sorry for? this? You say you’re wearing a warrior? we?]

From nob le mt l. co m

Kairin kicked the poor floor.

[sorry…]

[I’m going crazy!]

Leon’s expression also looked very bad.

[Dog star. Your actions I’m really trying to understand, but I can’t control my emotions well.]

he shouted at me

[What was the past month for?]

His voice filled with resentment echoed through the forest.

He deserved to yell at me.

I was the one who saw him working hard more than anyone else.

[stop.]

Seria calmed down Kairin and Leon.

In fact, Seria, who should have been most resentful, seemed surprisingly not to have lost her composure.

[But, warrior… You bastard Sirius!]

[I told him to stop. Kyrin.]

Seria’s subdued voice stopped the rampaging Kairin.

[Defeat is not the responsibility of one person alone.]

Seria’s eyes turned to the floor.

[And if I had to blame one person…]

Seria raised her head and looked at me.

[That’s right, I’m the leader, not a party member.]

After saying that, she turned around helplessly.

[Kairin. Leon. I had a lot of trouble. Even though I missed the 1st place, I knew that you guys are talented enough and wonderful people. I don’t think it was a meaningless month.]

We couldn’t tell what expression she was talking about.

[Dog star.]

She, who hadn’t said a word about me, finally opened her mouth.

[…Talk to me later.]

[All right.]

I answered calmly.

I was confident that I would be happy to hear anything she said.

“Hmm~ Actually, I didn’t expect this either.”

The homeroom teacher also seemed to think the result was unexpected.

“To think that the warriors’ party missed first place. Actually, it’s a ridiculous accident.”

The homeroom teacher laughed as if it were absurd.

“No matter what the process, I think it’s good to be a little nervous. Warrior.”

Seria bowed her head without answering his words.

“Now. The long-awaited last place. The party where the personnel change will take place! The Raven Party!”

Our party was also a house of mourning, but there was another drink on the other side.

In particular, Cairo and Alfonso, who had been sluggish, seemed very uneasy.

If Alfonso had lost because of another party member, he would have been blaming others all day, but it seemed that he was defeated and kept his mouth shut.

Cairo also had a lost face.

“So now I have to pick the two dropouts. Hmm.”

It seemed that the homeroom teacher had not yet decided who to release.

“Um… then let’s do this.”

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and tore it up and gave it to Luna and our party.

“I believe you know better than I do.”

The homeroom teacher looked at us with a relieved expression.

“Choose for yourself, those of you who have directly encountered the battle scene and actually felt it. Raven’s party. Who was the worst.”

It was a cruel story.

The one who was defeated by the opponent he fought just before was also the weakest person selected by the opponent to the people of the division. I thought it was a dizzying thing to fall after being evaluated as the worst.

The Raven Party people’s faces became even more contemplative.

And the expressions of the rest of the people who started writing their names were not good either.

Anyway, it must be because they have to let go of the people they have been in a relationship with for a while.

“Okay then, let’s open the results.”

Only the homeroom teacher smiled and started counting the votes.

“This is the final result.”

He started calling out names one by one.

“Raven.”

Raven nodded.

“No one voted for you! Congratulations!”

Raven was wearing a mask, so it was difficult to check the proper reaction, but he smiled at the homeroom teacher.

Her laugh, which can only be seen very rarely, was deadly.

If I put my mind to it, even high-ranking aristocrats seem to be able to come over, but what on earth is a man like that good for?

“Cairo.”

“yes.”

he closed his eyes

He seemed to be accepting the result in a state of resignation.

“You have two votes.”

He still didn’t know whether to win or lose with this alone.

“Alphonso.”

Alfonso bit his lip.

“yes.”

“How many votes do you think you got?”

Alfonso threw up his guess with a nervous face.

“Two… two votes…? Or maybe three.”

“Ding.”

The cheerful voice of the homeroom teacher contrasted with his desperate voice.

“Five votes.”

Alfonso slumped to his knees as if his legs gave out.

“It could be…”

Um… Still, I wondered if the reason I thought I would only get two votes was because I lacked self-objectification.

By the way, I also cast one vote for Alfonso.

“Zeke… 1 vote! Congrats on surviving!”

Zeke laughed heartily.

“Ha ha ha ha! What a lucky day!”

Zeke hit the back of Raven, who survived with him, with his huge hand.

Raven’s eyes widened as if he was a little surprised by the sudden skinship.

Standing next to the giant Zeke, Raven looked more like a doll than a human.

“Now~ The final dropouts in this exam are Cairo and Alfonso. The two of them are fine. They don’t have to come to my class from now on!”

The homeroom teacher shook hands with them.

“I will definitely come back.”

Alfonso squeezed the homeroom teacher’s hand.

“It’s not like you can do whatever you want.”

He responded in a frivolous tone.

Cairo held out his left hand to see if his right hand was still hurting.

“I too… I will try again next semester.”

“Cheer up. Cairo.”

So the two went down the ridge first.

“Now. Level 1 guys. First of all, I want to tell you that you have been through a lot. Everyone has excellent skills beyond what I thought. I don’t have anything to teach you.”

Something about the last sentence made me feel that he didn’t want to go to class again.

“Let’s take a break for a week. There are no classes. I need time to find replacements for the two people who disappeared.”

I thought the half would be maintained, reduced from 12 to 10, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

“No questions? Everyone, let’s break up here today!”

Back at the dormitory, I lay down on the bed.

As scheduled, I… last minute. I handed over the flag to Luna.

Pretending to give Arin the final blow, I covered the entire area with fog and grabbed the flag and threw it in the direction Luna was running towards.

This whole process was done in less than 5 seconds.

I concluded that no one would have been able to visually confirm that I had betrayed myself.

In fact, from the moment Luna got hurt during the fight with Seria, I couldn’t properly focus on the scent of blood rising from her wrist.

The distance was quite long, so I just kept looking at it, but if Luna had been a little closer, she would have allowed Arin’s attack many times more.

Criticism and criticism from party members. It was all determined.

I knew it would be like this.

However, Seria’s words, which seemed to surround me, only hurt me more.

[If I have to blame one person… I’m the leader, not a party member.]

I couldn’t help but clenched my fists at Seria’s words, attributing my betrayal to her own inadequacies.

Seria obviously knew everything.

That I intentionally allowed Luna access through trickery.

But even so, the image of her blaming herself for it came back to mind.

Before we started, in a nervous voice, her words that you should never just hand over the flag rang in my ears.

A terrible feeling of guilt held my breath.

Ever since I came to the human world, I was the only one who chose to hurt Seria.

My earnest desire to meet you paradoxically only hurts you.

Seria…

smart smart

“Sirius. Are you inside?”

…was her.

I lifted myself up from the bed and took a deep breath.

whoa…

I needed to stand in front of her with a slightly shameless expression.

Meeting Seria with this face now was like publicizing that I was forced to move by someone.

“Come on in.”

I opened the doorknob and let her into my room.

We sat across from each other with the table in the middle.

“Let’s talk.”

I opened my mouth to her who had just looked into my eyes without saying anything.

“sorry.”

Unexpectedly, the words came out of her mouth.

“yes?”

“I’m sorry, Sirius. I misunderstood you all this time.”

It was me who could hardly follow the conversation as to what he was talking about all of a sudden.

It’s me who has to apologize…

“What are you talking about…”

“I’ve said that I’ve understood from Sirius, but Sirius, you’ve been confirming in your heart that it’s June.”

Her blue eyes were out of focus and not at me.

“But I realized it today.”

“There’s no way someone like you is June.”

“There’s no way Yuwol will betray me. Ha ha ha…”

It was a bit of a creepy laugh.

“To think that the person who stabs me in the back like Sirius is Yuwol.”

“I misunderstood something. hahahaha.”

Tears began to form in her eyes.

Tears ran down his cheeks, but the corners of his lips were raised.

“There’s no such thing as June like you.”

Seria spoke to me in a sad voice.
