I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!
169. Trust and friendship
Long time ago, the class seemed to be reflecting on the tests I had refrained from so far, and I wasn't left behind more than I thought.After a long rest, Violet's classmates turned to curiosity, but no one came to ask him directly.
I don't know who's imagining what, but the Verhan insinuations are easy for many people to imagine.At least Bellows wasn't the one who cared about the outside world.Otherwise, I wouldn't let a naughty boy pretend to have a daughter who should be gentle as a prostitute.He could not even imagine what kind of rating his daughter would be given in a short-cut haircut dressed like a boy in a social world where a long, beautiful hair girl would be held.
Vio, I'm here to pick you up.
"Yuran"
Just like the spring wind stroked your cheeks, your heart calms down when you hear that voice.There is no warmth or freezing cold, and the heart that stood beside me is filled with sorrow.I couldn't help but feel that there was someone beside me who needed to focus on something else.
The world is narrowing.Slowly, there are fewer things to see.I'm sure that's not a healthy thing, but I still feel much more free than ever.
It is much better to be in a narrow, small box than in a large outside world.

The three of us who met at the entrance headed for a room that Rosette had prepared for us.Located at the edge of the school building, the room has only one window, even in the corner room.There is no dark atmosphere thanks to the rotten lights, but artificially too much light can sometimes feel darker than darkness.
I don't want to make heavy air.However, as a result of avoiding the eyes and seeking a place for only three people, it was only here that it was more suitable than anywhere else.
"Shall I eat it first?It would be a waste if it cooled down. "
"Well... what did Rosette do?"
"I made avocado and cheese salad.I was obsessed with it the other day. "
"Well, the combination is definitely delicious.Maybe I'll ask for it next time. "
"It's so delicious! Would you like a bite?"
"But Rosette's share."
"Vio, do you eat so much?"
"... that's right, thank you very much."
As if there were no blanks for a few weeks, the familiar air envelopes Violet.I don't have to think about who cares.With a lovely smile, Rosette is still the princess everyone admires and the only friend Violet has ever met in the outside world.
I wonder where it's appropriate to start.Even if I lay face to face with an explanation of a past year, there are too few parts of my life that people can hear.Even if you're not imprisoned, there are events rolling around that make you want to cover your ears everywhere, so it's not even a wound that can be successfully deceived.
(I wonder how far Rosette knows in the first place....)
Yuran knows everything.Those who have seen Claudia, Milania, and Violet from childhood can largely imagine.Anyone who comes from another country like Gear has no chance of knowing unless he hears it from a legend.
In Rosette's case, we've been surrounded by so many people from other countries.And if there be any one of them that saith not, his house shall not be spared evil slander.And actually, that's where hell meets heaven.
For Violet, it was definitely hell.But it must have been heaven for my father to be with his beloved family.
─ ─ That's why it's so scary to talk about it.
(If.... if to Rosette)
If they say that the house was heaven.
I was told Violet was funny.
(I'm not saying that... I'm not saying that)
Really? I'm not just drunk on my misfortunes?
Are you sure those houses were wrong about the worst families?
Wasn't it really me that was wrong, that was funny?
It's another thing to cherish, to be affectionate, and to earn full trust.I doubt it because I don't want to be hated, and I can't believe it because I don't want to get hurt.
She'll take it at all, and you can tell me you weren't wrong, no explanation.How can you say that it was so painful and painful, and that it was all their fault that I had nothing to do with it?Should one fact be accompanied by a lot of pain and suffering?Would Rosette be able to stay close to herself?
And when the plating peels off, is it disappointed, despised and hated?
All the nasty imaginations overflowed one after the other.It is not because it is cautious to draw beyond the end, even though nothing has yet begun.If you imagine something bad, you'll give up when something really bad happens.If you scratch yourself before someone cuts you, you'll mislead the cause of the pain.
The hand holding the fork trembles and hits its teeth, making a small noise.I could not help but feel the fear of the rosette laughing calmly."Maybe" comes to mind on its own, but it will come with the substance.
I couldn't reach for lunch because I still had half of it left.I can't tell if I'm hungry or full.However, no matter what you say, it doesn't taste good and only your throat feels unusually dry.
"Dear Vio....?"
Oh, I'm worried.He was always smiling and trying to keep the air calm.I want to say I'm sorry, but I'm sure what I'm about to say will make this space even heavier.
Grasp your hands tight on your knees, surrounded by a large palm that stretches from next to you.The body temperature of the person who had been trying to stay close to me, and kept silent for a long time, relieved the chilled fingertips.
It is not convenient for all anxiety to be blown away just by that.But I felt much more at ease than talking alone.Because Yuran, who knows everything, can't lose his weak heart and tell a big lie.
You can continue your friendship without talking like this.It's not only right to tell her everything, even if it's okay to worry about her.I'm still wondering if it might be better for us to be unaware of each other.
I've already made up my mind.
"... I need you to ask Rosette something."
If I could, I hoped that even after I exposed everything, I would laugh at each other in that dim gazebo.
