67 – Episode 13. Bazaar, first day.

<7>

‘Did they know each other?’

Chloe, who was watching Lee Si-hyuk’s situation from the roof of a nearby building, clicked his tongue.

If the situation were to happen, Chloe would have intervened first and helped Lee Si-hyuk, just like the case of the guy with the knife.

She was just a girl who didn’t have good feelings for Lee Si-hyeok, so she just hid because she was mean.

However, contrary to her thoughts, Geohan and Lee Si-hyeok started talking while laughing at each other instead of fighting.

After that, the fallen guys got up one by one and wanted to grasp the situation, and soon they bowed 90 degrees to Lee Si-hyeok.

‘As expected, the quality is not good.’

Within Chloe, the evaluation of Lee Si-hyeok went down another notch.

There’s no way a man who walks around with bad guys like that is a proper person.

A lousy man like that shouldn’t stand next to Suisei.

Chloe thought that Lee Si-hyeok must have approached Suisei for some purpose.

It would be unfair to Lee Si-hyeok himself, but Chloe had her own reasons for this prejudice.

In the meantime, most of the people who have approached her Suisei were thinking of taking advantage of her good person.

Chloe always kept a close eye on those who approached her, and when her opponent showed her dark side, she immediately intervened and separated them from Suisei.

‘Because I’ve decided to protect Suisei now.’

A decision I made after being saved by Suisei a long time ago.

However, because Lee Si-hyeok was an unprecedented partner that Suisei expressed a crush on, he just watched silently even though his stomach was bubbling.

However, through today’s case, Chloe finally made up her mind.

Lee Si-hyeok was a low-quality guy, no different from the others.

It would be for Suisei to shatter that black heart, even today.

After coming to that conclusion about Lee Si-hyuk, Chloe slightly averted her eyes.

At the end of her gaze, she saw a male student who was attacked by bullies slowly making his way through the alley in the opposite direction.

It seems that Lee Si-hyeok was busy chatting with the bullies and couldn’t grasp the movement properly.

That look made me feel pathetic for a moment, but Chloe immediately shook her head.

“… I can’t say I’m not responsible.”

If Chloe hadn’t been grumpy and hid, she would have gone to check the safety of the student who had been harmed with her after taking care of the giant in one fell swoop.

As the president of the student council at Edelweiss Academy, ruining work with personal feelings is tantamount to tarnishing the academy’s name.

So, it is up to him to distort the situation.

Chloe activated her direct ability and teleported in front of a student who barely got through her alley.

“Aagh!”

A student who saw Chloe suddenly appeared and fell down screaming in surprise.

“No need to be so surprised. I am here to help.”

Saying that, Chloe reached out her hand to help the fallen student.

But somehow the student’s face is familiar to her.

She’s never had a conversation with her, but she feels like she’s run into them somewhere-.

“Somewhere… ?”

“… The student council president of Edelweiss?”

And to see if that feeling was an illusion, the other person also recognized Chloe’s face.

Then Chloe was able to recall where she had seen the student.

At last year’s exchange meeting, I was one of the students who cheered hard from the stands.

“Are you a student of Cheongmyeong?”

“… By the way.”

“Can I get a detailed explanation of what happened?”

Chloe asked, extending her hand a little further.

However, the student of Cheongmyeong did not hold his hand and stood up on his own.

“Nothing. Enough then.”

After saying that, the student of Cheongmyeong lowered his head and hurriedly moved on.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Is it a matter of pride?’

Students of Cheongmyeong tend to look down on those they consider to be below them.

The backstreet bullies, most of whom are incompetent, are at the bottom of the pyramid they think they are.

Even though it was 3:1, it seemed embarrassing to lose to those guys.

‘By the way, what is he hiding in his arms like that?’

The student of Cheongmyeong put a black envelope in his chest and tried to hide it in front of Chloe.

It was clear that this item was probably what the thugs were trying to steal.

Let’s chase it down and check what it is.

The moment Chloe thought that and was about to move, her cell phone rang in her arms.

It must be Lee Si-hyuk.

Chloe took out her phone with a frown and changed her expression 180 degrees the moment she saw the sender’s name displayed there.

“Suisei!”

-Oh, Chairman, you received it quickly.

“It’s because Suisei is calling.”

A lively voice that is the exact opposite of the chilly voice he had with Lee Si-hyuk.

-I don’t know if I disturbed the chairman for nothing.

“No, it’s okay. It didn’t matter. It’s just that I was free. And even if I’m busy, I’ll answer Suisei’s calls.”

-Huh, thank you for your words, Chairman.

“But what happened all of a sudden?”

Chloe asked in a highly recalled voice.

Did he even worry about himself? However, the words heard over the phone were contrary to Chloe’s expectations.

– No. I was just wondering if you two are doing well.

“… Not really.”

– Is that so? As for me, I want the two of you to become a little closer.

“Why do you want to be closer?”

-Because the chairman and Mr. Shihyuk are all good people. Is it too greedy for me to want the people I like to be close to each other?

The answer ‘yes’ came to Chloe’s mind, but she couldn’t bear to say it.

Basically, Suisei’s evaluation of people is generous.

But I don’t have to go this far to ask Chloe.

So there must be a reason.

I don’t have the slightest sympathy for Lee Shi-hyeok, but if it’s Suisei’s request…

– Chairman.

While Chloe couldn’t answer easily, Suisei broke the silence first and spoke.

“Yes.”

-Actually, I am well aware of the things the president has done for me.

“…… Huh.”

Chloe immediately understood what Suisei was saying.

In the meantime, Suisei was weeding out the bad guys who secretly approached her.

Perhaps Suisei was also aware of it.

“That… Suisei, sorry.”

Not everything is forgiven just because the intentions were good.

So Chloe tried to apologize right away, but-

-I don’t mean to blame, Chairman. Because I know very well that the president did it for me. And I know very well that the chairman is not such a poor judge.

“Suisei… !”

-But the chairman. Sihyuk is an exception.

“…… Why?”

Chloe hesitated and asked why.

And Suisei’s answer was the worst reason Chloe could have imagined.

-Ah~ I said it.

Unlike Chloe, who was in a miserable mood, Suisei’s voice over the phone was a bit embarrassed and relieved.

-Of course, but only the president should know about it. If rumors spread, would I be ashamed and hide in a rat hole?

“Yes, Suisei.”

-Ah, I took too much time. Chairman, please work hard and see you at the dormitory at night.

“Yes, Suisei. See you later.”

As soon as she hung up the phone, Chloe’s legs gave out.

“… You knew it would be like this.”

Chloe muttered, as if admonishing herself.

If a day like this came someday, I would have decided to cheer for Suisei with a smile.

However, unlike the decision she had made a long time ago, tears flowed from Chloe’s eyes.

It was the first broken heart.

Chloe is crying.

As I was about to leave the alley, I saw him and stopped Yuri and the others following me.

“Why is that? Older brother?”

The giant, Yuri asked me with a puzzled expression.

“… Nothing. I have something to think about.”

You left me alone and disappeared, why are you crying so sadly now?

My head is a little confused because I can’t feel any cause and effect between the two incidents.

… It’s okay.

I didn’t see anything.

It is quite rude to meddling in other people’s affairs.

I don’t know why, but Chloe will take care of it.

“By the way, Alex ordered the booster retrieved?”

I dared to bring up the story I had with Yuri earlier and asked.

If you’re chatting here, Chloe should be able to notice moderately.

“It’s not an order, it’s a request, brother.”

“Huh?”

“… Right, brother?”

Yuri looked at me with desperate eyes.

Since it’s in front of her subordinates, I wonder if it’s a story to save her face.

“Oh, that’s right. Didn’t you say Alex asked for a favor?”

“Yes. It looks like you need a little more hands.”

“Well, it seems Alex is quite dependent on you, Yuri.”

After I said that, the thugs who were listening to the conversation in the background let out an exclamation.

Yuri nodded her head slightly and expressed her gratitude with her eyes.

Well, I can give you lip service like this.

It’s like he’s been helping with the Special Section.

“Is the recovery going well?”

“Everything is impossible, but I did some of it.”

“Awesome. Are you capable?”

“I was lucky.”

Surprisingly, Yurii succeeded in absorbing the remnants of the Zetas family and establishing her own organization.

Even if not as much as when the Zetas family was in full swing, it seems to be one of the best in the back alley.

I thought that she was an extra A that I would never see again because she was badly beaten by Alex, but I thought she had that kind of ability.

“By the way, if trouble happens like before, don’t force a fight.”

I thought the three bullies were cheating on a good student, but when I heard the story, it turned out to be the exact opposite.

It is said that while they were collecting boosters in the middle of following the location marked on the map, a fight suddenly broke out.

The opponent was a talented person, so right after the three of us managed to subdue him, I intervened and interfered.

“You guys should take care of yourself too.”

I said scratching my head to hide my embarrassment.

Then the three thugs who had been beaten up by me put on a moving expression.

“I will keep this in mind!”

“You are merciful, brother!”

“I will engrave it on my bones!”

… What is this reaction?

“Then we will go to the next location…. Please give my regards to Alex.”

Yuri said, glancing at her subordinates.

I nodded happily and waved.

“Yes, please suffer a little more.”

“””Enter!”””

Three bullies nodding at the same time.

… I feel like I’ve become a gangster executive, so it’s not very pleasant.

Anyway, with all this noise, Chloe must have noticed that I was here too.

The moment I looked back with that thought, someone’s head banged against my chest.

Of course, the main character of this golden twin tail is Chloe.

“Lee Si-hyeok.”

Chloe looked up at me with puffy eyes.

“Why did you approach Suisei?”

“… Huh?”

“Answer me.”

My voice was half locked, perhaps because I cried for a long time.

However, the tone of the speech, which omits honorifics, gives off a clear sense of threat.

… Has it finally come?

Answer: Depending on the situation, I may not be able to return to the dormitory safely today.

I swallowed and slowly opened my mouth.

“… I didn’t really approach it first.”

I put in my mouth the excuses I had thought of so far.

“If I had to argue, Suisei approached me first, and I’m just hanging out.”

“… What?”

“Sure. You don’t have to worry so much.”

If I said this, Chloe would probably have understood it roughly.

My sincerity that I have no feelings for Suisei!

“We are just friends who only know each other-“

“Lee Si-hyeok!”

Chloe interrupted me and shouted.

I was surprised by his spirit, and I answered in honorific language without even realizing it.

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes.”

“I don’t care what you are thinking.”

Chloe raised her tiptoe and grabbed me by the collar with her tiny bracken hands.

“But, just remember one thing.”

Looking straight into my eyes with a messed up face, Chloe opens her mouth again.

“If you ring suisei, then you die and I die too.”

“… Huh?”

“Just know that.”

What?

What kind of development is this?
