Cecilia stood on the bench to return to her room only a few dozen minutes later. I finished my sandwich, looked at the stars, and sighed.

Then I finally calmed down and felt like returning to my room. The tears didn't come out of it, but the mood was somewhat depressed, and Cecilia was walking down the hallway.

(Somehow, it's getting late...)

There are quite a few people in the hallway of the dormitory, but it creates an atmosphere that says today is over somehow. Looking at it, I felt like Cecilia was the only one who hadn't finished today, and I felt a little depressed again.

Cecilia stood straight in front of the room. I opened the lock, entered the room, and closed the door behind me.

Shortly thereafter, the door was knocked on for some reason.

I turned around with a surprised expression as soon as I entered the room. When I opened the door and looked outside the room, Jade stood there.

"Jade, what's wrong?"

He laughed like he was in trouble, and found out that he had something to do.

It's unusual for Jade to visit Cecilia's room alone. Perhaps something had happened to Laurent and everyone else, and she opened the door and invited Jade into the room.

When Jade enters the room, he locks the room in a proper manner. Then he turned to Cecilia.

"Jade, what's going on? Could it be, what's Laurent?"

Laurent?

Huh?

Jade's eyes widened after Laurent's name. It was as if I had heard the name for the first time. Or it looks like you heard the name of someone who wasn't supposed to be here.

That's right, that voice...!

Cecilia distanced herself from Jade. Because his voice in front of him didn't belong to Jade.

Cecilia knows the voice of the Lord.

You're Marguerite, aren't you?

Jade was not surprised by the carefully released words. Rather, I take Cecilia's words as a matter of course.

Jade... No, she was like Jade, and once she covered her face with both hands, she exposed herself to Cecilia.

She was still Marguerite.

Her long hair, her tallness, and her amazing beauty.

She stared at Cecilia with her long, lying eyelashes.

"Yeah, that's right. It's been a while, Cecil.... or should I call you Cecilia?"

Marguerite echoed as she felt the sharp coldness.

Marguerite's unfavorable but invisible attitude distanced Cecilia further from her. I'm turning my back on the window in order to jump out of it.

The height from the window to the ground is quite high, but there are also low hedges planted below. If you fall there, you may get hurt, but only your life will be saved.

I wanted to see Marguerite, but I also wanted to talk to her again. Even though Cecilia was so close to her companions that she said, "Let's talk about it." Cecilia didn't have enough weather.

Marguerite shows her wrists to alarmed Cecilia. There was only one bracelet attached to it. I put away all the treasure I used to change my appearance. In other words, she's pretty much all round now.

"I know that you will adopt such an attitude, but I have no hostility now." Rest assured. "

……

Even if you say so, you won't be able to feel safe.

Marguerite's expression seemed a bit unfortunate. It looks as if Cecilia is lonely about not trusting her.

Even if not upset by her expression, Cecilia chooses her words carefully.

What kind of errand did you have?

"I'm here today to do you a favor."

Please?

You're the only one who can escape from this academy.

Unexpectedly, Cecilia frowned.

"You ran away from the academy."... what do you mean? "

The next thing Janice is after is this academy.

Regardless of Cecilia's wide-open eyes, Marguerite stands up as if time was running out.

"There are noble sons and daughters in this college." The eggs that will move the country in the future. Have you ever thought about it? If all the students of this college die, what will become of this country..... "

That 's--

"It's going to take a lot of damage." Moreover, it is possible that the nobles will unite with the King who could not prevent the situation and turn the flag against him. He's after it. "

“What are you going to do?”

When asked in a shivering voice, she lowered her gaze.

"I can't betray him enough to say that.... well, that's enough treachery."

But...!

"I don't care about other people." People in this country don't care about anyone. But... you owe me one. So, run away. "

When I was told that, I couldn't nod if I understood. You can't run away. If Janice is thinking about something like that, she has to stop it.

Cecilia took a step towards Marguerite with a sigh of relief.

Can't you stop it?

"I can't stop it either." I'm not going to stop it in the first place.

But your operation will kill a lot of people, right?

"That's why it doesn't matter. She's the only one I care about."

Marguerite says so as if it were cold.

Cecilia couldn't seem to tell if she was lying.

In other words, she won't stop until Janice tries to stop the operation.

Cecilia lowered her voice as she stared at Marguerite.

"I'm sorry, I can't run away." It's impossible to leave everyone behind and run away alone. "

"That's right..."

Marguerite slowly approaches Cecilia. Then I touched Cecilia's cheek with my long fingertips.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The moment Marguerite murmured, Cecilia's body stiffened like a stone. Like a traveler stared at by Medusa, he can't move a fingertip. Even the eyeballs are stiff, and I can't move my throat. Now I can't call for any help.

(Oh no...!)

Cecilia checks her wrist with a solid line of sight. Then, there were seven bracelets that had not been worn before. A treasure that could change her perception to make Cecilia trust, she probably hid her bracelet until now.

"I've already assumed that you won't nod easily." That's why I'm going to force you to come. "

Having said that, she stretches her arms to the side of the person who hasn't touched Cecilia. Then the space at her fingertips cracked. Someday, it was the power to move to a different space.

Well, let's go.

As Marguerite moves her palms from her cheeks to her arms, Cecilia's body walks naturally. I'm sure this is a force that can only move others the way she wants while Marguerite touches her.

Even though you don't want it, your body walks on its own. We're headed for that tear in space.

I don't know where that leads, but I'm sure it's very far from this academy. Otherwise, Cecilia will definitely return to this academy.

A place far enough away to lose the urge to move. In a prison where it's impossible to get out. I don't know, but if I step into that space, I'm sure I'll never make it back to this academy.

Cecilia screams desperately.

(No...!)

Cecil!

A deafening voice blew up the door with a tremendous sound.

Suddenly, Marguerite takes her hands off Cecilia.

Having gained physical freedom, Cecilia rushed away from Marguerite and ran to the person who would have kicked the door.

Dante!

Are you okay?

Dante's voice was unusually impatient.

As soon as Marguerite saw him, she jumped into the tears of space. Dante tries to chase it, but the space is immediately closed.

"Ahh, that's too bad!" Isn't that the example of Miko Sun who escaped now? "

Dante, who hadn't met Marguerite in person, checks with Cecilia regretfully.

"Yeah.... but how did you know?"

"No, I mean, I was using strange force, and I was just as beautiful as I heard."

"Not that way!" why is Marguerite in my room..... "

When Marguerite arrived, she should have been dressed as Jade. But why did Dante think Marguerite was in Cecilia's room? That was what she wanted to know.

Dante nodded, “Oh, that way,” and told me how he decided to rush in here.

"At first, I found Jade standing in front of Cecil's room and thought," Oh, it's unusual. "After a while, Jade came out from a completely different direction than Cecil's room. so....."

There's two Jades! "Perhaps that was...!"

... so, it looks like you ran.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." They're not going to get away with this.... so why did they try to get hold of Cecil? "

That's right!

Is that so?

Cecilia grabbed Dante's arm with both hands and cried out roughly.

"Dante, gather everyone!" Maybe this academy is dangerous! "
