When I Reincarnated, I was One of the Villainess’ Followers. . .But I Decided to Live My Life Freely.

That day, I hurt my dear friend. It's just pathetic, but I couldn't suppress the desire that had bubbled inside me, and I attacked the defenseless silane.

I still feel regret every time I look at Silane's face as to why he did that.

But my best friend was much bigger than me. He said to me, "I'll forgive you."

I wonder what a good friend you really are... you're falling in love again. No, of course this is a joke, isn't it?

There is no doubt that such tolerance is the beauty of Silane, but on the other hand, I think it is also a quite dangerous weakness if we change our perspectives.

After all, I easily forgave the opponent who had just attacked me the day before... whatever I said, I wonder if it was too careless and careless.

In addition, the remarks that then popped out of Silane's mouth were cut off.

"... from now on, make a proper agreement, right?

See? It's not...!!

It's like saying, "Attack me." It's not a good joke to make at a place where there were a lot of ex-cons and beasts like Lily.

Camelia, who was on the same spot, must have felt something similar. After confirming that Lily had sunk and disabled, she talked to me as if she was still stuck in the wolf.

"... Iris, may I have a moment?"

"Eh? Oh, oh..."

Feeling the pressure from the camel, I shook my neck vertically while confused. This is air that must not be defied. She keeps pulling her arms and dragging her to an empty classroom.

And as soon as I entered the empty classroom, I was chased to the wall... and I was stared at by my camelia from the front. That's the Duchess, very powerful.

"Hey, Iris. What does Mr. Silan look like to you?

I am confused by the sudden question, but Camelia's expression is serious. I'll take a deep breath and answer carefully.

"... my dear best friend."

"So, what do you think of your best friend?

"I take care of it. Silane's smile is a treasure for me."

Answer Carmelia's questions again. There is no lie in the word. I wonder why, my chest is twitching and painful.

"Well, I see. I was relieved to hear that. I feel the same way."

"Same...?

"Yeah, it's the same. I also think that I am a dear friend of Mr. Silan's. And I want to protect Mr. Silane. Isn't Iris the same?

"Ah, ahh... that's right. Yeah, I want to protect Silane, too."

Silane has too many gaps.

In particular, you should be more vigilant about your roommate Lily.

"Who does the Silane trust the most? Do you understand Iris?"

"The one Silane trusts the most... is probably me. This is not complacency."

"... hmm, you understand, right?"

Camelia looks upset for a moment, but immediately returns her expression and continues her words.

"But you betrayed that trust and you attacked Mr. Silane."

"Ah... oh, that's right. Reflecting."

"Of course. But Silane forgave you. Then I have nothing to say. But... you can promise me that I won't ever pretend to betray your dear best friend again.

Camelia's words sting me. [M] Absolutely, she's right. It is never acceptable to make the same mistake next time.

"... I swear."

"I see. Let's trust you, who Syran trusted."

Thank you, Camelia.

"But there's really no next time. If you ever betray Silane again... you'll never be able to get close to him again."

The eyes of Camelia who warned me were more serious than I had ever seen.

If the Duchess' daughter was concerned, it would be no joke or anything, and she would really not be able to get close to Silane. Imagine the situation and tremble unexpectedly.

If we keep dealing with each other the way we've always been, the relationship between the three of us will not change. It's not a difficult story. No way.....

◇

In conclusion, it's not that simple... the past of breaking relationships with one's own hands continued to weigh heavily on me.

The result appears in my recent attitude. I don't really know the distance to Silane because I'm conscious of all kinds of strange things. I'm in trouble.

"What kind of distance do we usually feel...."

No one can hear me talking to myself.

Of course, I've noticed that Silane has a frustrating expression every time I respond.

But in the end, there was nothing we could do about the situation... only time had passed. The subtle grooves still show no sign of being filled.

As I continued to seek out a sense of crisis, I heard stories of a prom hosted by the college.

This is it! I thought so. We can no longer rely on these events to overcome this situation.

Pair with Silane and you'll be able to reduce the distance with a little force. That way, we may be able to regain our previous relationship as best friends. No, I'm sure we can get it back.

In that case, the question arises as to how to pair with Silane.

Lily and the others will undoubtedly plan something to pair up with Silane. Camelia may offer a pair to protect Silane from such a situation.

In such a situation, I don't feel like there's anywhere else I can go... no, don't give up. Think, think, think, think.

... ah.

The moment I was about to hold my head, I remembered that I had a right. It's a monopoly that Lily's runaway gave her.

Using that right would force something against Silane. Of course, since the chairman has spontaneously said it, there's no need for Syrran to obey... I'm sure he'll obey even if he says there's no other way. My best friend I know is that kind of person.

I wonder if it's wrong to use something like that as my best friend. There was such a conflict, and I didn't use that right.

But I don't think that right should be used now. Something whispers in me.

... I'm not trying to use my rights to embarrass Silane. I'll just use it as a trigger to invite Silane. That's all.

While I was thinking about it, I got a call from Silane. I wonder if there's something you two want to talk about after school. All of a sudden I was a little surprised, but this is a great opportunity.

We were walking around the academy for a while, but when the students stopped, Silane stopped and turned around and looked at us. When I hear about Syrran, I'll cut the ball out of me. I think so, first listen.

Silane raised her mouth and opened her mouth with a bad face.

"Um... why don't you skip the ball with me?
