"I'm glad the door to the school building was unlocked! It was bright because it's a full moon outside, but it's dark in the school building. I wish you had a lamp. The evening school has an atmosphere. After a weird dream, don't feel extra scared..."
Micah shrugged about that, moving forward with a solo solo as she connected along the wall with her hand.
I could hear the girl sobbing at the timing of getting to class in a little while.
Micah shrugged and stopped walking.
(Am I hearing something wrong!? No. It's a cry. The voice of Dahl? It doesn't look like it. No, there might be someone in the classroom.)
"Is anyone there?
As Micah spoke, she entered the classroom where she arrived, while the sobbing voice stopped perfectly.
In the light of the moonlight from the glazed skylight, I could see every corner of the classroom... but no one was there.
Micah got cold as her spine froze.
(Yep! Um, what's the sobbing voice?!? Were you really a ghost?
"Da, da, da, da! Dal's here, isn't he?
"Huh. Oh, Micah! What's wrong with this late at night, Usa?"
Dahl came out of the grass a little while making a big stretch.
Micah felt her own heart unraveling frozen with fear at the sight of the swallowing Dahl.
"Huh. When I saw Dahl's face, I was horrified. Lulu, the white cat, is sleeping all round there, and we're all glad we're looking good."
"Micah is a loner, too. Tomorrow, I'll put you to sleep in your bed with me, so don't worry, Usa"
"No, I didn't miss you... I'd like to go back to bed if I could, so I'd like to sleep alone." Wow!
Looking into the classroom window, Micah accidentally shouted when she found a nogging figure who should not have been there earlier.
If you look closely, the figure was the silver-haired girl, Nancy Leon.
Nancy has a crying face.
"Nancy! What are you doing there?
"Ugh, Master Mikael found me. I was just asking Cartus, the beast, to listen to me."
There was a chameleon on a rock in front of Nancy, riding a little.
"Nancy's chameleon power of the angel beast is to be erased for about a minute, Usa"
Dal explained it to me.
Was it Nancy's hair that lit up in that silver color for a second? That cry isn't a ghost either, is it Nancy!!
With relief, Micah approached Nancy.
"Nancy can hear the beast, too?
"No, I can't hear you, but I always tell Cartus that we have something. They might laugh at you for acting weird, but Cartus listens to me right as I tilt my neck sometimes! When Cartus asks me, it calms my heart."
"I know, that feeling. I'll calm down when I tell Dal the Beast, too."
"You understand! Master Mikael!
"I'm a classmate, and you can have a tame mouth, okay? Did something sad happen to you? I'd like to talk to you, too, wouldn't I?
"Sad or painful... I hate myself for making a good face for everyone because I don't want our people to hate me..."
"Oh. It's painful and hard not to like yourself. I know what makes you want to cry."
"Jess told me today, but she often pointed out that people change corny attitudes like chameleons. I want to cure myself, but it's painful to be concerned about what people think."
"Well. It's a normal emotion that people don't want to hate, and it can be an important skill at work to be able to change people's attitudes on an ad hoc basis... If Nancy hates herself because of that, it's a problem."
"I've done terrible things to Sofia today because of our attitude...... and I really hate myself like this!
"I think you should apologize to Sophia, okay? Isn't it because the other guy's on the axis that's painful? Why don't you think about yourself on the axis?
"What axis yourself?
"I guess you mean giving priority to what you want to do over what they think. I think Nancy suffers because she despises her feelings. The point is, you take care of yourself more."
"Taking care of yourself, is that what self-love is? Wouldn't you like to be a wagamama or a narcissist? Wouldn't everyone hate me if I did that?
"Hmm. I don't know what to say. It's easy to understand. Who's important to Nancy?
"What's important to us is the Cartus of the Beast!
"What kind of voice would I give you if that cartus, for example, didn't want other angel beast rabbits, dogs or cats to hate me, and I was tired of fitting everyone?
"Cartus!? If that happens... don't push me like that. It's okay! Whoever hates me will never hate me! I'm definitely on your side, so it doesn't matter who hates me, so don't worry, you can act the way you want! I'll call you..."
"Yes, that! Tell that to yourself!
"Oh dear! I think I know what it means to take care of myself. Thank you, I think it made my mind lighter that it was painful. We'll apologize to Sophia and talk to her tomorrow!
"Yeah. I think Sophia would love that." Come on, it's too late. Shall we go back to Nancy's room? "
"Oh, really! It's time for this! We need to get some sleep! Thanks, Mikael!
Seeing Nancy with a sunny expression, Micah also felt her heart warm.
