Chapter 82
Even if you condemn me as a demon, I wont feel a thing, you know. Im a demon anyway and this school was found especially for demons.
I said before standing up from Lulers laps.
AhThis was easier than I thought.
I had been hoping that she would be smarter than this, but it seemed like I overestimated her, right? Did you really think I would confine you in this place just to show you my lovey-dovey act with Luler? I didnt have time for that nonsense. If I had that much time, I should use it to catch up with my study.
I had received something interesting from Ren yesterday. He told me theres a magical shell which could record a persons voice. He also gave me many of these shells.
Those shells had been scattered in this greenhouse. Well, I really wanted to know what was she going to do next if she was punished because she had harmed a high-ranked noble in this place?
Certainly, we couldnt give her a punishment because she would get sent back to the human kingdom. She would have to receive a punishment there. If she was a noble of a higher rank, maybe she would escape from her deaths door.
But she wasnt one.
She will receive the punishment for those who harmed a high-ranked noble. To top it off, I was also the princes fiancee too.
WhyWhy do all the things that were mine are always stolen away from me? Both you and WhiteWhy do both of you have to steal whats mine!?
WhiteWas that my name?
Why did she know my name from my old world?
No
Dont tell me
A person like youeven if theres a world placing in front of you, It wont be enough. Because you are a greedy person. I murmured only for her to hear. When her hateful eyes turned to look at me,
it was like that moment
when you pushed me
You dig your own grave.
Sunny.
Nobody could do this to you except for you yourself.
If she was really her then I wouldnt reveal that I was actually White. I wouldnt talk about the things that happened in the past.
Even if I wanted to ask her just one question
All this time,
Had you ever looked at me as your friend?
Even if I didnt want to, I had to let Filne go. It would cause a big commotion if others were to see demons detaining a human. The violence between human and demon was a delicate issue. I shouldnt do anything out of my position. Even if I could do it, it wasnt what I supposed to do.
If I took an action like her then,
I wasnt that different from her.
I wouldnt use a knife to stab other people just like her. I chose to do only whats right because I wasnt a judge. Let the truth spoke for itself.
Knock knock
Come in.
I knocked at the door of the headmistresss room while holding a bag filled with the magical shell. I came to this room alone. In fact, Luler also wanted to follow me here, but I told him I wanted to talk to my mother in private.
Shiwa? What is it? Why do you come here at a time like this? My mother put the document in her hand down before turning to me. She looked really worn out as well. I guessed being the headmistress came with a pile of work.
I apologize that I disturb your working time, mother.
Its alright. What do you want to talk to me? Quite a serious face you have there.
I walked towards her desk and slowly poured all the magical shells out. I pressed into one of them.
Thats rightI was the one who used the knife to stab her!!
!!
Filnes voice boomed from every shell. Her voice could be heard crystal clear from here. My mother frowned a little. She must have thought why did I bring this to her?
I was stabbed by the human named Filne last week, mother.
You were stabbed!!? How is this possible!!? Why hasnt you report me about this!?
I apologize, mother. I didnt want to cause a big commotion by not having enough proof so I made her confess everything and then recorded it in all these shells.
Sigh, Shiwa, I know you are a capable child. You must think you can do everything by yourself, right?
My mother leaned into her chair. Both her voice and the expression on her face all told me that she was frustrated. She didnt look pleased with me at all.
Its not like that, mother. I never think about it that way, but I didnt want to anything without proof.
SighYou are just like my younger self. I will let this slide because this is the first time. If something happens in the future, come to me first before doing anything. Do you know what will happen if you fail?
I understand
It seems like I should paraphrase my sentences
I deeply care about you. I know we dont have that much time to be together. I dont know why, but I feel like I havent met you in such a long time.
Mother
Dont be wary to say anything to me. Theres no way I wouldnt believe in my daughters word, right? We are a family. I want you to know that no matter whenno matter how big that problem iswe will always gladly help you.
She gently smiled at me much more than I had ever seen before.
AhHow could I forget it?
I used my knowledge as an adult to solve everything by myself since I was born in this world. It was like I was alone. Sometimes, I had closed off my heart from other people.
My wound heart from that world
I had met many different people in this world such as friends that I thought I wouldnt ever have or a love that I thought I had discarded of it so long ago.
I thought I was good enough to help other people, however, that wasnt the case at all.
Maybe the one whos being helped
was me
Yes, mother.
S-shiwa!! Why are crying!!? Do you still feel hurt by your injury!!?
My mother quickly consoled me who was crying my heart out over here. It couldnt be helpedWhy did my mother suddenly speak heartfelt words like that!?
But
It had been a long time since I cried like a child.
I wasnt sadI only didnt want my lacrimal gland to get clogged!
I told my mother everything. She told me she would do anything to bring that vulgar girl to hell as fast as possible. Her eyes looked really scary while saying this.
I guessed she would swiftly take an action before tomorrow even come. Even my father had to surrender to her when she was angry.
My mother gave me permission to skip a class to explain everything to her. However, theres still a time left before the school ended so I felt a little bored.
I suddenly thought of something at that moment
I had never used the key to Lulers room.
Normally, it would be him who came into my room. What did he feel when he used the spare key to come into my room?
BathumpBathump
My heart was beating like crazy as I stood in front of his room!!
Finally, I used the key to unlock the door and went in. I normally came in here when Luler was in this room. Well, I did come into this room many times so why did I suddenly get nervous like this!!?
His bed was still the samethe floor was still the sameeverything was the same as before.
Only he wasnt here.
Flop
I sat at the side of his bed while thinking about our first timeNo!! Why did I think about that!!?
Hold on
I heard that when I wasnt here, that girl liked to get close to him, didnt she? I also saw her at this dormitory many times too. There wouldnt be some kind of weird relationship between them, right? Even if I knew that its impossible for that to happen.
How could I say it? I hate to admit it, but I was really jealous!!
He was my fiance so how could I not get jealous!? There should actually be many girls who went after him, right!!? If he changed into a flirtatious person during the time he couldnt remember me, I wouldnt tolerate it!!
The door isnt locked?
Speak of the devil, he came to the room right away. He looked relieved when he saw me.
Shiwa, where did you go?
I spent a long time with my mother, but that isnt importantyoucome here.
?
Kneel down and crawl here. Dont make me repeat myself.
!!
What was he doing during the time I wasnt here? I was going to squeeze it all out of him!!
