The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"Oh, it's lunch. It took longer than I thought."

Felix is murmuring a little further away, but it's the sound of a bell that scratches off.

I can see the audience holding their ears loud.

The truth is, I was supposed to finish the selection meeting and leave before the bell rang.

(Your head is about to crack....)

Ana also pressed her ears hard and accidentally bent her body.

The sound of your body trembling as you grab your heart with your bare hands.

Numbling stimuli run through your head and toes, and you can't stand very straight.

Your head pops white, filling it with violent sounds.

Nah, nah, and strange sounds echoed in her brain, and Anna reflected vaguely.

(I... what were you thinking...?

--Galaaaaahh!

The bell rings again.

It will ring ten more times until noon.

Repeating metal sounds.

It's like a bell attached to a hair ornament.

But it's stronger and heavier than that little tone.

(What, that's... yes, there's only one thing to think about. Kill the king... that's why I'm here.)

Every time the bell rang, Anna groaned unconsciously, as if she had been beaten all over her body.

With the hand holding my ear, I squeezed and crushed my hair.

--Galaaaaahh!

(Kill the King... Exploiting Espiana and humiliating Rodrigo, killing the abominable King Luden.....)

But why?

When you always consolidate your will while listening to the sound of the bell, you can concentrate so much, but now something is caught.

It slipped up to the throat, swollen, and scratched Anna's heart.

It's painful.

I can't stop sweating.

Inside your body, something says, "No!" he shouted.

"... uhh, gu"

Your beautifully cured hair and makeup are getting upset.

In the past few days, I've trained my trunk, and I've become so beautiful that I can't see the shadow that I've bent my body.

Ravaged by the sound of the twelve o'clock bell, it is as if the magic has dissolved ashes.

But Anna couldn't afford to be aware of it.

--Galaaaaahh!

I wonder what's on it.

I wonder what it's being held hostage to.

A murderous intent in your chest.

I'm sure it'll be easier if you leave this to me.

Someone's lips spinning quiet compliments. Straight eyes.

Slow hands that have squeezed us over and over again.

Such a thing floats in an intermittent fashion, scratching Anna's heart.

(Kill... no, wrong... no, kill... kill...!

Every time the bell rings, the impulse to attack Felix grows stronger.

Anna was desperately embracing her body as she was about to be torn apart by a conflicting will.

"If this engagement story is based on a visit last night, it's a complete mistake. I only went to deliver gloves to Miss Caroline as a knight.... damn, the bell sounds loud."

"Really, I can't hear you. But if a man like you persists in an unmarried woman's room, isn't there one thing to do? Well, you're either gonna do it or you're gonna fuck it."

"Take care of yourself. In front of a woman! Could you be a little more careful?

Behind the suffering Anna, there was still a raging argument about her.

Lucas was irritated, and the bell sounded loud and almost screaming.

When Lucas roughed up his voice, Felix laughed at it.

"You don't have to worry, do you? Because Elma, you don't seem to mind at all!

Looking in the direction he was pointing, it was true that Elma was still staring down at the bard in her arm, and still stuck her cheeks.

Covered with glasses, I can't read my expression, but as far as I can see, my heart is not here, and so on.

Lucas almost looked up to heaven silently, but after a while he called out to Elma, "Hey."

"I don't want to be misunderstood, but I need you to react and at least join the discussion. Why are you so indifferent?"

"Yes...? I'm sorry, it's a little hard to hear...."

"I hear why you're so indifferent!

When Lucas yelled at her to avoid losing to the sound of the bell, Elma opened her mouth softly.

"I don't mean indifference."

"What do you mean? I can't hear you!

"indifferent! It has to be something! I told you!

It's rare for Elma to yell back.

However, Lucas, with his bouncing, rarely stepped deeply into the opponent.

"I see! Then stop stroking your brother! Look at me!

Straight and can't afford to say anything.

For Lucas, who wanted to retain his authority as a colored man, it was a word he wouldn't say in ordinary times.

With surprise, Elma raised her face, and Lucas continued to struggle.

"Think a little more about me! Put it in perspective! How many times have I told you how I feel? Learn a little and react, idiot!

"Bye, stupid...!

"I didn't mean to tell you in this situation, but I'll just say it again for you, disastrously dull! Look in your eyes and listen to the hole in your ear!

It was a distant atmosphere from the whisper of love, but I decided to get angry and reached out to remove the glasses that hid my expression.

"Look, I..."

"Please wait!

But Elma grabbed his arm very quickly.

"... no, no, no!

"Whatever!

Gugu, gugugu.

Still, Lucas tried not to touch the glasses and Elma's attack to prevent it.

The two forces were balanced, and as a result the two hands trembled in the air with touch.

"Don't try to take off your glasses naturally! Or are you indifferent? Why does His Highness always say things like being dull or stupid about me?

"You're simply stating the facts! Wait, do you prioritize the combination of perceptions? On the spot? Now!?"

"It's very important!

It's unusual and Elma is saying it back strongly.

The audience, whose ears were blocked by the sound of the bell, began to let go of their hands and step out into the tight air created by the two.

After all, it seems that a situation more important than the Queen's Selection Board suddenly arrived, and everyone unconsciously rang their throats.

Ana crouched in sweat, so she didn't get into anyone's sight.

"I hear you say it back, who is disastrously dull!? On that tough face are the sapphire-colored holes that are as beautiful as Baltan!?

"Are you humiliated or complimented!?

"Don't get caught in one of the retreats!

"I have no idea what you're trying to say!

Both tones are finally getting intense.

The audience completely abandoned their efforts to protect the tympanic membrane and desperately tried to pick up the conversation between them from the gap between the bells.

"I'm still reading and studying hard! Don't tell me you're stupid, don't know, or break your heart!

"What kind of 'study' is that?! You, what are you reading and where are you going this time!

So...

The final bell rings loudly as rewards are harsh.

When Elma put her strength into the arm holding Bardo and tried to say something back,

"------ahh, ahhhhhhhhh!

Finally, Anna, with her bloody eyes open, stood up and quickly jumped on Felix!

…………

Too suddenly, the audience can't speak. I just shook my shoulders a bit at the sight in front of me.

I see a girl slowly leaning on her feet as if she had prolonged her time.

Hair is fragile, eyes are glowing brightly, and their appearance is like a beast that strikes its prey.

An arm holding onto something like a needle slices the air and grabs Felix's throat without a doubt -

"Unfortunately, we're having an important conversation right now, so could you please be quiet!?

"Abububu!?

--Dogoh......!

I thought I'd catch it, and Elma, holding Bardo in her arms, shaken it off with a no-look.
