241 – Summer. festival. Fireworks #16

Human relationships are really difficult.

As soon as I graduated from school, I moved from one job to another, so I met a lot of people of different personalities.

Among them, there are good people, and there are really people like this-there were many bad or vicious people.

Especially in the case of bad people, I could talk about the hardships and losses I had for days with them, but… .

Still, what I want to talk about now is the case of people it was nice to meet.

Even after I quit my job, I often or often contacted people I worked with. The number of jobs increased a little because there were many jobs that I went through.

So, on weekends when I really get to rest, there are many acquaintances who buy me food or ask me to meet.

Of course, since my body was one, I couldn’t respond to all of their stories, and I had no choice but to decide the situation in the order in which contact came first or according to the important events of the meeting.

As a result, there were people who naturally couldn’t care.

I think it can’t be helped, but when it comes back to resentment or regret from time to time, I was a little embarrassed.

That is exactly the case now.

“Enio, I haven’t been able to meet you because I’ve been quite busy lately. I guess I have to see the current situation with my own two eyes. If you won’t open the door, I’ll break it in.”

Nike and Victoria.

The quarrel between the two was a very important and serious situation for me.

Enio, who was relatively calm because he was focusing on that, had to be pushed out of his priority list.

However, while I was neglecting it with the feeling that no news could be good news, it seemed that something had gone wrong on Enio’s side as well.

creak, rattle.

The doorknob was also locked.

If I pull with all my might, can I break it?

creak.

The top students of Ludens are strong enough to be called superhuman.

It was a setting where such people lived, so Ludens’ facilities were built to be strong.

Why, can’t kids like Skadi, who have high strength levels, break doorknobs in their sleep?

In particular, the women’s VIP dormitory was famous for being built quite sturdily.

According to what I heard from NPC Hilde one day, “A long time ago, there were many cases where male students broke into the dorm rooms, so they said they strengthened the security.”

creak, rattle.

For the same reason as above, the doorknob did not break even when I pulled it with all my might.

-Victor-kun, what are you doing? I will call someone

Enio seemed flustered that I was about to break into his room.

It’s a bit of a pity that I can’t read the expression on the other side of the door.

Seruk.

Then I felt a cool touch on the nape of my neck.

“… stop.”

It was Alecto, the second of Enio’s three henchmen.

“Merciless Alecto”.

A friend who usually wears a green hood on his head. Unlike the other sisters, he has a quiet and well-behaved personality, but he is also a cold-hearted guy.

He is aiming a dagger curved in the shape of a crescent moon at the nape of my neck.

sting.

No, it was already slightly cut.

I feel the blood flowing.

This isn’t just a warning.

I said.

“Alecto, killing a classmate is a felony.”

“… yes.”

No, I don’t think the word here should be ‘yes’.

I thought about it.

This guy might really cut my throat.

It was clear that he did not mind becoming a felon if it was to protect his master, Enio.

Then how about the other side?

“Megaira, convince Alecto. We need to check Enio right now.”

“uh? me? I… .”

“You were Megara, the one who called me for Enio who didn’t come out of the room. I told you to do anything, so I will do anything. But before that, stop your sister.”

Although Alecto is as cold and ruthless as a shark, he might listen to his sister, Megaira. Then Alecto said.

“… Enio’s room. trespassing. Viktor, we have to kick him out. Rules of Enieris. Protect Lady Enio. under any circumstances. The oath of the day.”

“vow… .”

Megaira’s eyes seemed to waver.

If even Megaira sided with Alecto, I would be kicked out without fail.

Maybe you’ll be punished for trespassing on the women’s dormitory?

Of course, it’s Mega who let me in, but when he turns around saying “I’ve never done that before,” I’m the only one who kicks the dump.

I said.

“Megaira, if you are really Enio’s friend, choose. What is it that protects Enio? Are you going to just watch the days when Enio doesn’t come out of the room forever?”

“I… .”

“rule.”

Koo Woo-wook.

I felt the blade cut into my skin even more sharply.

I can’t say a word anymore.

I feel like my real neck is about to fall off my shoulder.

It was a very serious time.

Maybe 5 seconds passed.

Seruk.

Megaira took out the weapon that was hanging on her back. It is a weapon in the form of a beast-type claw-shaped blade fixed to a glove and girdle.

Megaira pointed the blade at her sister, Alecto.

“Alecto, take the weapon you aimed at Viktor.”

“… it’s mega this. betrayal.”

“I am Enio-sama’s subordinate, but at the same time a friend. It may be right as a subordinate to wrap around Enio-sama unconditionally, but it is not right as a friend.”

Megaira’s choice was more unexpected than expected.

He never thought he would point a knife at his own sister.

“… A traitor to Enieris.”

“Yes, Alecto. I knew you would say that.”

Seruk.

The sword that was piercing my throat is withdrawn.

Go oh oh-.

Alecto and Megaira create tension while facing each other.

“betrayer.”

“Sisters sparring, shall we do it again after a long time? I was born late, but if you think that I have the lowest skills, that dainty nose will be flattened.”

Will I have to witness the battle of the sisters right in front of my eyes?

It was at this time that I was also quite interested.

Knock-down, Gi-ik.

The doorknob I was holding in my hand turned on its own.

* * *

Enio’s visit opened.

“Because of me, I can’t make you fight.”

Enio’s voice from inside explains the reason for this sudden opening.

Alecto and Megara, who were glaring at each other, drew their weapons at the same time.

Although it was a bit disappointing not to be able to see the twin sisters fight.

It was clear that the fight between these sisters would not end simply as a fight between brothers, so on the one hand, I felt very fortunate.

Ssss-.

wind blowing from inside.

“Then excuse me.”

I went into Enio’s room.

My first impression was that it was very wide.

I think it would be more accurate to say that this is a ‘house’ rather than a ‘room’.

When I was in high school, I went to a well-to-do friend’s house, and was surprised that his room was as big as all the rooms in our house combined.

Just that feeling.

The entire floor was covered with a soft black carpet.

On one side, there was a dining kitchen that I was very coveted.

A lot of expensive stuff, from clothes storage furniture and mirrors to beds and sofas to TVs made of magic crystals.

The color of the pillars, ceiling, and furniture is all luxurious black.

In this place where everything is luxurious, the most precious thing must be the dark-haired girl sitting quietly on the sofa.

“Enio.”

“Victor-kun, it’s been a while.”

Enio was wearing a black nightgown with a red ribbon.

It would be better to describe it as silk pajamas.

Enio was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea elegantly.

There was a kettle and teacups on the table in front of the sofa, which I think were prepared for us.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect Viktor-kun to come as a guest, so I didn’t prepare anything. This is a female dormitory. Viktor-kun is someone who would never come into a place like this.”

“Originally, it would have been.”

“But, it seems that there are no absolutes in human affairs.”

It was Enio who laughed.

I sat down in front of him.

Megaira and Alecto stand around and watch as if they were watching us.

Somewhere in this awkward situation, I opened my mouth.

“I heard you haven’t been coming out for the past few days?”

“It’s vacation. Because I lived a busy life. Do you think it would be okay to lock yourself in your room for a few days? Also, it’s summer, so the sun is strong. I have weak skin.”

exactly.

Enio’s skin was white enough to be seen through.

But these reasons are all lies.

“Did you say you were raising foxes? And I was sick too. However, looking at it now, Enio, you don’t even look sick. I can’t even see the fox.”

“Actually, it’s a lie.”

Enio spoke plainly, as if he were joking.

Unlike Victoria, who was very embarrassed by even the slightest lie, Enio didn’t seem to feel much remorse for having lied and deceived others.

“Lies make a woman more mysterious.”

“is it. Enio, I think it would be good for you to stop being mysterious.”

After answering appropriately, I looked around again.

There didn’t seem to be any issues whatsoever.

In fact, Enio’s room was equipped with everything, including kitchen facilities, so it wouldn’t be a problem to live without going out for a few days.

“… … .”

But it is also true that there are some things that are not clear.

So I looked under Enio’s feet.

Enio’s white feet without stockings. It is a rare sight.

The shadows below… is not visible

Maybe it’s because the carpet on the floor in this large room is so black.

I guess I need to look more closely.

Dalgak.

I dropped the sugar spoon I was holding on the floor.

If you do this, you will be able to take a closer look at Enio’s feet while pretending to pick it up.

So, after saying lightly, “I’ll pick up the spoon,” it was when I lowered my head to the bottom of the sofa table.

I felt something strange.

“… … .”

The cutlery is gone.

I must have just dropped it to the floor.

when you’re a little flustered.

Enio said.

“But, I wasn’t the only one lying. This world is full of lies. So beautiful and so cruel.”

Listening to Enio’s voice.

I found out a surprising fact.

The fact that the carpet on the floor of this large room is actually red.

The spoon also rested quietly on top of it.

Only thing I didn’t notice right away was that the whole room was covered with something black. It wasn’t a black carpet.

“… Run away!”

I shouted at Megaira and Alecto.

They’re quick-witted guys, so they’ll notice even if they don’t talk about the situation.

“What, what is this?”

“shadow… .”

However, neither Mega nor Alecto could lift their legs from where they were.

The reason is simple.

Because these black shadows stretched across the ceiling and walls and furniture and everything, encroaching on our legs up to our ankles.

I never thought it would be so wide and thick.

Squeak.

My body sinks into the shadows.

I tried to struggle like a person trying to get out of quicksand, but my body was sinking deeper and deeper.

“no… , I can’t be beaten like this.”

I reached out.

What I grabbed onto was the table leg.

The moment you hold onto it with all your might and try to break free from the bondage of the shadows.

Shuk.

Enio, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up.

“… … .”

Enio quietly looked down at me.

He tilted his head as if he was puzzled by my resistance to the swamp of shadows, and finally raised his white paws.

And gently put it on my face and give it strength like stepping on it.

“Shhhhh… .”

It was as if they were pressing deeply on a struggling person to get out on land.

Thanks to that, I ended up falling into a very black and dark shadow.

The last thing I saw was the black tail protruding from the back of Enio’s nightgown. Multiple tails, rich like those of a fox.

“Even if you came a little earlier. It would have been dangerous. regret. But it’s already too late. The shadow becomes reality. Reality will become a shadow. darkness into light. Light turns into darkness—”
