I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!
59. Protection and interference, if past it is
"Dear Claudia, what can I do about this one?
"Oh, there's..."
The two people who talk amicably in front of each other are not uncomfortable with each other's good looks. The sight of princes and princesses leaning in together is fairytale.
For Violet, it is also a sight we are already used to seeing.

That goes back to the morning before.
The time of the family reunion, where only one person was left behind as usual, spent pouring all the sensations into having a delicious breakfast, was slightly different this day.
"Speaking of which, sister, is it true you're having an after-school study group?
"Huh..., yeah, well"
He suddenly told the story, and the risotto he was about to swallow irritated his trachea. Is it that upsetting to be able to talk to Mary Jun when she says it's a dish that doesn't seem to be a problem to swallow without chewing?
Most importantly, what she said was the problem.
"I've been studying in the library since I found out I had a test too, but I never met her, so I wondered how she was doing. Then in the meantime, I heard rumors that your sister was studying with you and Claudia."
"Yes, it was..."
Temperature and the taste of working sensitively until just now are lost all at once. Conversely, her hearing seemed to be hypersensitive, and Mary Jun's words reached her ears clearly, word for word. I've thought about blocking my ears so many times, but I've never been able to do it.
What is rumored about us is not particularly surprising in itself.
Claudia was originally a high-profile figure throughout the school, and Violet stands out. And the fact that Violet admires Claudia is also quite widespread.
Even the addition of Yulan, who says these two alone stand out, but is usually unlikely to be with Claudia there... would greatly stimulate human wild horse guts.
So it's not surprising.
Not surprisingly... I didn't want to be discussed here right now.
"It's fun to study with friends! We can teach each other things we don't know, and we can chat at breaks!
There is nothing else in that word. I just talked about it because I heard rumors, and I said that because I thought it looked really fun, that's all.
I guess there was no greed there, and I didn't feel envious. Growing up in the boxyard, she doesn't want me to distract her from her purity, because she's supposed to say what she wants.
So I know that's what Mary Jun didn't say about wanting to be a part of.
What she didn't know was that she was trying to give more protection and help than she wanted.
"─ Mary Jun should join us today."
"Huh...?
"I'm sure it will progress better than going to a solo desk at home. Master Claudia is a brilliant man, and we need your help."
... To be honest, it was a development as expected. From what Mary Jun said, I can imagine what an overprotective, blind father would do without thinking about it.
My father's gaze toward Mary Jun, who tilted his neck properly, was soft, just loving. Cut just there, maybe he was a good father who loved his daughter.
Only one thing, except that this man didn't give anyone any credit for everything he said.
"Please wait. If you don't attend the study group, you have to check with Claudia and the others."
"This is Mary Jun's first test. My sister, what if you don't help her?"
The eye of love that was directed at Mary Jun turns into contempt and pierces her.
The world is as narrow as it is clear that only Violet can be allowed anywhere to benefit from something. When it comes to work, we can be objective, but the family... when it comes to my wife and Mary Jun, I don't doubt that the center of the world is us.
For the sake of Mary Jun's happiness, I would not even try to hide the spirit that Violet deserved to be sacrificed.
"Didn't you ever tell me to throw away the idea that if I were good, that would be good?"
"... right"
Would I have been told? I don't know if they told me. I think they told me to give everything for Mary Jun.
The clenched palms are hot. Bones snap. Putung, I felt like something was interrupting, but I didn't care about that.
What I just ate is going to come out of my mouth. To nausea coming from discomfort, maybe I can't eat any more. He prepared it for me at the corner for Violet. I'm sorry to leave that behind, but I couldn't afford to care less about it now.
"... OK, I will visit Claudia and the others"
Where he refuses, this man won't notice his irrationality. I don't even realize how selfish my actions are in my habit of looking for a reason to make Violet a bad guy.
So I nodded. I won't refuse, he said.
The man who looked down on such a violet to laugh with his nose must have already been satisfied. The mere fact that it's for Mary Jun makes him think he's righteous.
Whatever, congratulations on the head.
"But I can't today"
"... what"
Once a distant gaze is poured into Violet again. The colour of contempt diminished, and instead the irritation darkened, and Violet just glanced at it with cold eyes.
"It's not something I can judge on my own. I must also give due recognition to the members who are studying with me... because I must not be the only one with the idea of being good"
Just as Dotacan is insane, vice versa. It's not good to decrease it and it's good to increase it, how can you say that? Large is said to combine small, but large and small appear to be similar and different.
Above all, at the time you're saying study group, that's not Violet's thing alone. It's insane to fail to talk about what we need to share and talk about at one gathering.
Violet, it's not a good decision to make on your own... let me give you back your reason just like that.
"Oh, you..."
"Excuse me, I'm not feeling very well, please excuse me first"
I feel the irritation turn to anger on my skin, and it swells up. I get up before it bursts. Instead of greeting him, he turned his back by reporting his withdrawal.
I'm not interested in the continuation of the blocked word.
Whatever the objection is, it can't be understood.
