(This guy, was he previewing my behavior?

That's what Isaac thinks because Nicole showed up at the worst possible time.

Though she doesn't seem very smart, she is also the top talented person in the school year.

Especially in romantic relationships, it exerts a mysterious power, so it's not strange to be ahead.

(No, it's not?

I don't know why, but Nicole looks wary of Isaac.

If there was an unexpected appearance, the reaction was natural.

I don't know exactly without talking to her, but Isaac hasn't been prevented from escaping yet.

(Eh, how did you know this place?! You've been following me all this time?

Nicole was Nicole and thought Isaac was after him.

Hahaha and rough breathing greatly increased my fear as a stalker.

(Maybe they'll attack you again!?

She remembered last year.

It was traumatic that Mark almost attacked me.

Fred didn't seem to come to help me this time, so I felt in serious danger.

"What? What's the matter with you?

Nicole asks questions first while we watch out for each other.

This was to contain Isaac.

It may calm you down while you're talking.

I thought, "I don't think that's possible before my charm."

"Yeah, you want some chocolate? I can't give you a handkerchief, but I can give you chocolate."

Nicole took a small box out of his fearful bag.

From her words, it seems that there is chocolate in it.

In my previous life, I would have received it even if it was a merciful brother-in-law chocolate.

But Isaac didn't like it at all, because it just seemed like "feeding the beast."

"I don't want anything like that. There's something else I want."

"Hih...."

Isaac wanted her to be safe, but Nicole, who was scared, kept her distance.

"There are things I have to do."

"I'll do it... I'll do it..."

I tried to de-alert Nicole, but it didn't work.

On the contrary, for some reason she is murmuring with vigilance.

"... I'm avoiding Amanda and the others, but why is Nicole here?

"Amanda... Oh, yeah! That's what I mean!

Nicole murmured over and over again, convincing himself.

Isaac could understand that she was mistaken, but she didn't even know what it was.

However, I will not ask you in detail because it seems like the story is going on.

Isaac doesn't have time to talk slowly.

"I guess I'm similar. Everyone desperately hates me for a handkerchief. Oh, don't expect a handkerchief because I'm going to give it to Jason."

Isaac said, "No! I tried to deny it.

But I denied it, and I said, "Why don't you do it?" and they might try to give it to you in a mood.

Nicole had to be more careful than the other girls.

"Is it Michael and the others you want?

"Yeah, people don't want it anymore. Jason convinced me. It's the average student you want. Even though it's Valentine's Day, it feels like you're approaching from a boy.... you don't want Isaac, do you?

Nicole looked at Isaac with a gaze.

"Of course," he said, taking a moment to suppress himself by laughing.

(Recently, I couldn't find a chance to talk to Nicole alone. This is a good opportunity, isn't it?

When she settled down a little, Isaac thought it was her chance to make a suggestion.

"There's something else I want. I'm sure you know what that is.

"Pamela... right?"

"Oh, yeah."

Nicole knows that he likes Pamela.

You should use it to strike a stone for later.

It was dangerous, but it was also necessary for Pamela.

"As you may have noticed, Jason is going to break up with Pamela and only marry you. But it's not easy to break up. It also becomes a problem after breaking up. For example, there might be a struggle between my mother and Mrs. Melinda. With Jason now, we could use a tough hand to protect Nicole."

I'm sure Isaac's words come to mind.

Nicole nodded and admitted that Jason could run wild.

"So if Jason runs wild, I need you to help Pamela. I won't tell you to cover me. I just want you to do it in a way that doesn't harm me."

"Hmm, but... I'm afraid of retaliation... I think I should leave it to Jason."

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it."

I knew Nicole was afraid of reprisals from Pamela and the Marquis of Windsor.

I've already figured out a way to relieve her worry.

"I'll welcome Pamela to my wife. The Marquis of Windsor's wrath will subside somewhat if you marry me, who has become Duke, although it will fall more than the royal family. And convince the Marquis of Windsor not to think of revenge. Even though I was able to marry Pamela-san, it's perfectly flat that I won't be able to slowly rub it."

Isaac had no intention of retaliating.

Isaac was trying to retaliate, not against Jason, because he acted on his own initiative.

There is no vengeance because there is no grudge involved.

It's just a betrayal.

The words were not false.

"And I'm with Nicole and Jason. I told Jason I should convince Fred to give up Nicole. Otherwise, Jason and the others would be ripping you apart by now. Because they're serious. Unlike other boys, I didn't run away and hide."

"That's right. I wonder if you appreciate that."

Nicole trembles once.

From her point of view, perhaps the men's sincerity was at a level of personal danger.

He seemed to enjoy getting laid, but that wasn't all.

"I'm on Nicole's side. I support my love for Jason. I just want a little something in return. I'm not asking you to give me anything. I'm just asking you not to do anything more than break up with Pamela. You can leave the rest to me. [M] I'm sure it'll work. What do you think?

"Hmm...."

Nicole thinks desperately about Isaac's proposal.

It is not a bad content.

But Pamela's freedom is the same as giving her a chance for revenge.

It's still horrible.

(Speaking of scary...)

Nicole sees Isaac.

He was also a terrible man to her.

"If you could marry Pamela... you wouldn't be interested in anyone else?

"I promise I won't be interested, except for one person."

"Is that... me?

"What are you talking about? It's Lisa, Lisa. I love only Pamela and Lisa."

Isaac laughs at Nicole's words.

Nicole laughed at his mistake and deceived him.

"I hope so. I'm not going to stick to Pamela. But remember, Pamela is a woman who kicks me down the stairs, so she's not that nice."

"Oh, I'll remember that."

You still want to treat Pamela like a killer!

Isaac feels angry with Nicole's words, but persists that he doesn't have to blame them right now.

It was so hard for me to accept the proposal.

Just keep this in mind.

"Je..."

As I tried to speak, I heard a rattling noise running down the hallway.

Isaac shuts his mouth.

Nicole also read the air and kept quiet.

When the footsteps run away in front of the classroom, Isaac exhales lightly.

"I hope things work out with Jason."

"Not for me, but for Isaac."

Sometimes the interests coincide, and Nicole laughs ill when he doesn't just say he's an accomplice.

Isaac smiled back.

Well, I'll go.

"Yeah... where are you going?

Nicole asked in suspicion as Isaac went to the window instead of the classroom door.

"We're being watched near the lift. Go through the window to the school gate."

"That's right... Good luck."

Nicole said, "What are you talking about?" Isaac went outside the school building.

Isaac feels disobedient and exalted by unusual behavior.

Moving in hiding in the hedge, I heard a woman sobbing from the shade of the tree.

(A girl who didn't come true and broke her love....)

I wonder if she is crying in a place where no one can find her.

I'd like to leave you alone if possible, but Isaac must also move in hiding.

In the meantime, make sure you know who's crying.

--Tiffany was crying.

"Ah" sounded unexpectedly.

Tiffany, who noticed the voice, turned to Isaac and quickly hid his face with a handkerchief.

"Why?"

She said, "Why?" Why are you here? "Why did you call me? There were two meanings.

Isaac saw it in the sense of the former.

I heard Tiffany crying.

(Amanda and the others can't say they were hiding.)

Isaac has pride, too.

I couldn't say I was on the run.

But the answer would be a huge misunderstanding for Tiffany.

(You've been worried about me....)

Otherwise, Isaac wouldn't be in the shadow of the school building.

I just thought you'd come and see how Amanda and the others were doing.

But thank you. And Amanda? I couldn't say such words.

I don't want Isaac to hear it right now, because there's only going to be a pathetic voice.

Isaac was in trouble with the situation.

--We can't leave Tiffany like this.

--But if we stay longer, Amanda and the others may find us.

It was a very troubling situation.

But Isaac chose to stay.

When I'm sad, I know that Lisa and Patrick know I'm glad someone's here.

Isaac decided to take a little risk for his childhood cousin.

After a while, Tiffany stopped crying.

Thank you, Isaac.

"Don't worry about it.... let's go home together."

"What about Amanda?

"It seems difficult to refuse to be confessed on Valentine's Day... I'm going home like this. A strategic retreat."

"Yes... Charles..."

"That's it."

Isaac waits as Tiffany tries to talk about Charles.

"Why don't you talk to Lisa about Charles? It might be easier for the same women to talk to each other."

"... that's right."

Isaac didn't listen, thinking, "Listening to Charles and going deeper would make Tiffany even more mistaken."

But Tiffany is different.

I felt like they said, "I don't want to go where I'm sad."

"You don't want anyone to see that crying face, do you? Let's hide at the school gate."

Isaac gained a reputation among Tiffany for his gentlemanly response, which was even more attentive.

----------

"Isaac... there he is!

Amanda was looking for her near the school gate, when she found Isaac's back on her way home.

If it's true, I'd like to rush over, but Amanda's legs stop all the time.

Believing that Amanda would find Isaac, Judith, who was with her, also found Isaac.

She tries to rush, but Amanda can stop her.

"... why?

"You'll see."

Next to Isaac, Tiffany was walking by.

She is nothing but a cousin.

Judith didn't know why Amanda stopped.

"What's that?

"Don't bother those two."

Amanda realized that the match had been decided, and she was weeping.

But Judith doesn't understand.

So?

"I can't tell you why... but I can't."

Amanda didn't talk much.

But I read from her gaze what Judith was thinking.

No way!

Amanda answered nothing to Judith's surprise.

Just one word and murmuring.

"If I'm a childhood friend... did I have a chance?

Judith collapses on the spot.

― ― The winner of Valentine's Day is Tiffany.

Raymond interrupted her and couldn't even challenge her.

I regret not being defeated at the end of the day.

"Is this okay?

Come on?

Raymond and Paul, who were chasing them, watched Isaac's back worryingly.

- What will Amanda and the others do next?

- Is it okay to mislead Tiffany even further?

They were worried about Isaac in two ways.

But I tried to believe that Isaac would be thinking about the future, but I couldn't trust him because of the softness of Tiffany.
