Normally, there were a lot of people in the college, and the college was closed at the Shinto Festival, so it was idle.I pay for what I'm interested in at the festival, and what's not, I go home to make up for the short summer vacation.
Cecilia walks through the uninhabited campus toward the dormitory.The step could not be said to be too light.
(I'm not feeling well.....)
Naturally, perhaps, his expression, which talks about the past, was somehow gloomy.Cecilia probably wouldn't have thought of it if it was just a sad expression.But I felt that his expression was mixed with something else.
(Well, I don't really understand that either.It may be because of my mind....)
"What are you doing here?"
Suddenly there was a voice on his back and he looked back.Then there was Oscar.
"Oh, Oscar! What's wrong?Have you seen it at the festival? "
"No, I didn't go to the festival.Give my father a call. "
A call from the King would have gone to the royal palace.Even if it is in the same city, the distance takes more than an hour by carriage.I'm a really busy prince.
I mean, why are you here?You were supposed to be the one going around with Lean today, right? "
"Ahahah... Actually, I got hit by an egg..."
"Eggs?"
"Yeah, I think he's been being mean to me lately...."
Cecil turned his jacket and saw wrinkles between Oscar's eyebrows.So Cecilia tells Oscar what happened earlier.In the meantime, Oscar's eyebrows became even more wrinkled after only a minute of talking.
There was a problem with the security system.
"I can't help it because I'm a soldier the church followed me.People who don't have that much training..... "
"No, let's officially protest around here.But I don't know if they'll ask me honestly if I can lend them a soldier. "
The Kingdom of Prospere does not define the Catholicism to which the Son belongs as the state religion.This is because there are two objectives: to guarantee the freedom of belief of the people and to separate religion and politics (for each festival), but it cannot be said that 90% of the people are completely separated because they believe in Catholicism.
The King cannot ignore the words of the supreme priesthood, the fact that he holds the Shinto Festival, which is the biggest event of Caritas, with the name of the country, and the fact that he has given permission to execute the "ritual of selection" for the selection of priests at Vroucher College are due to the circumstances around it.
"'Don't let the country talk about religious events!They're going to say, "
"I'm sure you're right.If we didn't cooperate, we wouldn't be able to do this like this.... "
Oscar rubs his eyebrows against Cecilia's words.
The delicate state of Calitarianism and royalty seems to be heavy on the shoulders of the next king.
"So, are you going back to the dorm and getting dressed now?"
"Yeah, it's going to stand out like this."
Cecilia nods to a word that was released to switch.
"Then I'll come with you."
Huh?
"The one who hit you with the egg is a student of the 19th grade school, right?You shouldn't be attacked while you're changing clothes.I'll keep an eye out for you outside. "
"That's comforting, but... but is that okay?"
"Oh, I don't have anything else to do after this."
There will be plenty of things to say and do, but he will not say so, and stand next to Cecilia.
"Thank you. Now, let's sweeten it up."
Oscar pulled up his cheeks.
Cecilia changes her clothes while Oscar is standing in front of the room.Fortunately, Katsura managed to see it by wiping off the dirt, but the uniform and Ain's coat on it were pretty dirty.
(I'd like to wash my wigs thoroughly once, and I'd better be quiet in the dorm today without going to the festival anymore...)
It's a big festival once a year, so I was looking forward to it, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Cecilia spoke to Oscar standing outside the door, sleeving through his shirt.
I'm sorry, right?
Hmm?
"I let the prince do something like a bodyguard...."
The words smiled at the sign of Oscar.
Don't worry about that.And whatever the prince may be, it's only natural that he wants to protect the person he likes. "
Cecilia is hardened by that word, which is said to be Sarasa.Then, I kept my cheeks warm and made a strong voice.
"Oh, Oscar, that's pretty clear...."
Shouldn't I say it clearly?
"No, well, I guess I'm usually embarrassed..."
Cecilia holds the button on her chest, thanking for the existence of a door separating the two.
That's how I said what I wanted to hear from you before.
"Ah, you know! I'm a man!"
What is it?
"No, that's why. I'm a man!Does Oscar still like me?Or is it because of the influence of Lean's novel that men are concerned about...? "
Huh?
I hear a mixed voice of astonishment and anger, and my neck slows down.
Cecilia was searching for words in the silent Oscar, and suddenly a big sigh was heard outside the door.
Is that confirming my taste?
Well, yes.
"Don't tell me you've confessed because I like men and you're a man?"
Honestly, yes is a difficult question to say.I didn't really think that Cecil liked him because he was a man, but now I think he likes a man.
Oscar sighs out the door again.
"... for example"
Hmm?
For example, what are you talking about?
Strangely and firmly in front of him, he starts talking.
For example, if you are a woman.Still, I think I loved you. "
……
Instead, everything would have been smooth.They wouldn't have misunderstood me like this. "
"Uhh...."
Cecilia's chest is crushed by the pain.
I wonder if that was conveyed, but across the door he sighed.And then you make a calmer voice than usual.
Gender may motivate you to favor the other person, but isn't that why you don't like what you like once?... at least for me. "
"Oscar...."
"Your strange sense of justice, always bright and honest, the kindness of your heart that anyone will forgive, innocent manners..."
One breath.
"I like that smile that makes you laugh at me."
……
It doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man, does it?
"That's right...."
I can barely nod.
I can't help but confess clearly, my ears, cheeks, and body are hot.I haven't checked it in the mirror, but I wonder if it has become quite red.
Cecil, have you changed yet?
Ah, yeah.
Then I'll open it.
"Wait a minute!"
I wear clothes as well as scissors, but it is embarrassing to see this bright red face.
Cecilia tries to hold the door to stop Oscar from coming in.But he opened it first, and Cecilia jumped into his chest with the same momentum.
"Ah, you!"
She tries to leave her body immediately, but she is embraced.The hands around my back and back of my head gradually increased my strength so as not to let go.
(Heart sounds loud -)
I don't even know if it's my own sound, his, or both.
Oscar's serious voice reaches his confused Cecilia's ear.
"Think about it for once.Leave aside positions, gender, and other things.I know exactly what you think of me.... "
"... yes"
My voice trembles.
"Promise? Next time you say," I'm a man, "you won't understand."
"Okay! I'll think about it!"
That weakens Oscar's arm.Then, her hand, which was turning around the back of her head, stroked her head in a daze.
Well then, I'm going.The killer's not caught, so be careful. "
"Ah, yeah. Okay."
Happy with the answer, Oscar turns his back and leaves.Cecilia still stuck her burning forehead to the wall after watching her back disappear.
"'Properly', what should I do..."
