A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Yikes...!

"Oh, Lianne, were you there? I couldn't see because I was small."

……

I was so knowledgeable that I didn't have to go to school already. But I went to school because I wanted to interact with people. Because even though I was young, I found it important to interact with people. Knowledge alone is not enough. I have more to learn.

But what I learned at school was human ugliness.

I was completely floating at school. I have no friends. There was a reason for the royal family, but above all, it seemed that I was distanced from its appearance. I wasn't very conscious at the time, but all the parts were neatly arranged on the completely symmetrical left and right faces separated from humans... objectively and subjectively, I would look beautiful. But that was the subject of bullying.

Besides, the main culprit was his sister, Grete-sama. I've been using people's jaws in high-speed cars since I was a kid. Since then, there have been many people surrounding us. It may be a gift in a sense, but I had a hard time with it.

A saint, and a child as young as six years old, with knowledge equal to or greater than that of an adult. Adults of the aristocracy around me praised me well, as did soldiers. But the children around me probably didn't like such a strange me. Bullying is not so serious, but it still keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

A special person. That's what they say, but the mind is a normal person. I don't feel nothing. I often wet my pillow with tears before going to bed. Of course I won't tell anyone about it. I couldn't say. It is disgraceful that I, a princess and a special being, am wetting my pillow with tears when I am bullied. I was ashamed of the rapid spiritual growth.

"Dear Lianne... how was school?

"It was so much fun today! I played a lot with my friends!

"... is that so? Then above all....."

Yeah!

Belle and I were always together outside of school. I seem to be on duty at dusk while I'm at school, but most of the time it's my priority. I was glad. I didn't think anyone would be able to support me. My mother is too busy to see her, and my father has never seen or seen her face. And my sister and brother are either indifferent to me or hostile. I have a sister and a brother, but I don't see them at all. Probably not a normal family.

It was just Bell. Objectively speaking, it's just an escort. But it was more important to me than that. It was enough to talk. I liked her for listening to me with a smile. Bell was certainly not very good at talking, but he was very good at listening to that. Besides, I enjoyed the conversation with her because I was good at understanding her manners.

One day, it is pointed out that I am in Belle.

"So, at school...."

Today, as usual, I speak fiction. I don't do anything fun. I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to be released. With that in mind, I talk about the fun school life and things that have been created in my brain. I've grown accustomed to lying. I'm sorry about Bell, but the same thing happened today... I thought so, but suddenly Bell's expression became sharp.

"Well, what's the matter, Belle?"

"... you don't have to do this anymore..."

"What... what are you talking about?

"... isn't school fun...?

"... that's what I'm doing today with my friends!

"... that's enough. I don't have to..."

"Uhh...."

I can be gently hugged by the bell in my room. Yes, I expected of her. I had a vision for her, such as my fiction. Embraced and definitely warm. It felt like my frozen heart was melting away.

Warm. Feeling the warmth of a person, I was weeping.

"Uu... uuuuuuu... I don't really have any friends at school. Everyone ignores me at school, or Grete-sama teases me mainly....."

"Again... I see..."

"I don't want to live anymore... even though I just want to live normally... uuuu..."

"It's okay. It's okay to cry today..."

"Uhhhh... uhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

I think I probably cried for the first time in my life this day. I swore at the same time. This tear is about to end. I shouldn't stop for this. We need to move forward. For mankind, for this world.

After this experience, I decided to quit school. Instead, it took the form of a flying class, but it was decided to enroll in the Antimagic Academy. Then life ahead was relatively calm.

I couldn't make friends at the Academy of Magic. Everyone looks at me in the distance and treats me like I touch a swelling. Still, there was no bullying here. I was just alone. That would have been much better than before.

"How was your day...?

"I've been studying alone in the library today. Um, actually, for monsters...."

Report what happened to Bell today as usual. That said, I didn't talk or play with anyone, so I just talked about what I was doing alone at the academy.

I cannot fight on the front lines as an anti-magician. That's because there's a limit to this body. I think you can use magic and have talent. But I can't stand it. That's why I was studying to become an Operations Commander in the back. How should we fight at dusk and how is it appropriate to decide in such cases? I've been studying it.

I'll put the story on the bell. And she was on the front lines, so she had a more practical conversation. Something like this happens on the front line, and I want you to do this at that time. Conversely, such instructions are not good. He taught me that in detail.

Bell also told me about the demonic ecology. It is certainly important to learn in situ studies, but her story of slaughtering many numbers in direct confrontation with the demon tribes was very frustrating.

I was already ten years old by the time I spent every day.

"Happy birthday...!

Thank you, Belle.

I celebrate my birthday alone in my private room. Of course, there was a party at the royal castle, but I was just tired. I got a lot of presents from nobles and congratulations. Still, what I wanted most was a little time with Belle.

"This is a gift from me..."

Thank you, Belle.

I received a gift every year, but this time it was a little special.

Pendant?

"Yes... I made it myself"

"I'm so glad... thank you so much, Belle."

It was a pendant that could not be inferior to ready-made ones. As soon as I put it on, I smile lightly.

"How is it? Does it look good?

"Yes... very good, looks good on you."

"Fufu. I'll keep this on forever."

"Thank you... thank you"

Bell smiled as usual with Nicori. Five years have passed since I met her, but I feel that these five years have been very intense days. And it's all thanks to Bell. I really, really appreciate it.

"Hey, Belle."

"Yes"

"Thank you for staying with me forever."

"... I'm still at your side, Dear Lianne"

"Yeah. Nice to meet you."

Seizures don't happen anymore.
