1. The First Letter (54)

It’s been a while since I stroked Elsie-senpai’s hair.

At first, she was startled and trembled, but as I continued to pet her, she seemed to have decided that I had no intention of attacking her.

The spasms in her body gradually lessened. Gradually, her breathing, which had been steep, was regaining its rhythm.

“Huh, uh, uh… … .”

While staring blankly at me, Elsie tried to calm herself down by inhaling and exhaling. As if that effort had worked in its own way, Elsie’s stiff body began to relax.

It only takes a few minutes for her to breathe properly and to be able to talk at least a few minutes.

Elsie-senpai, who had regained her senses, had a slight blush on her cheeks. Still unable to erase the moisture in her eyes, she tried to avoid my gaze.

It was a reaction of shame rather than fear. Of course, the fear of me would not have completely disappeared. Nonetheless, I could tell that her perception of me had changed a little in the fact that she wasn’t screaming.

The girl glanced at me. He could get angry at me to stop petting him, but he didn’t. He seemed to think that stroking his hair like this would help him calm down.

She only fired at me with one word, in a voice that was still crying.

“… … Bad baby. ”

It was a small sound that could be described as a whisper. Perhaps she had muttered even that inadvertently, but Elsie-senpai uttered it herself and was startled and shuddered.

And again he looked at me with fearful eyes. He looked like he was afraid that I might swing the hatchet again.

I wondered what kind of reaction would be if I pulled out the hatchet like this, but I wasn’t tough enough to put that wicked imagination into practice.

I just laughed like I was dumbfounded.

“Why am I the bad guy?”

“You, because of you… Hehe, my, how much I suffered!”

Like water drops on a blade of grass, Elsie-senpai vomited a torrent of emotions as soon as I touched her like that. A faint hostility was felt in her eyes.

“Everybody treats me like a dick!”

“I lost to my juniors, so that’s understandable.”

“It was a surprise, you wretch!”

When Elsie-senpai raised her voice, even her voice, no matter how good it was, was sharp enough to pierce her ears. I unconsciously made a bitter sound and hardened my expression.

Then, Elsie-senpai flinched and stiffened her body, and soon became intimidated and grabbed her cone-shaped hat with both hands.

“No, of course I’m not denying that I lost… Yes. I was wrong.”

“So it looks like you suffered a lot.”

At my words, Elsie was hesitant and couldn’t answer right away. He seemed worried that he would accidentally open his mouth again and say something like he did just before.

So I decided to bring out the words that gave her the most dramatic reaction.

“It’s called ‘Piss mannequin’… … .”

“… … Oh no!”

Senior Elsie’s reaction was immediate. She reacted violently, as if she were about to jump on the spot. Just by looking at it, you could tell how much she hated that nickname.

Senior Elsie trembled with her small fists tightly clenched. A murderous intent formed in her eyes.

“Oh, I didn’t pee! That’s all nonsense! you saw it too Right, huh?”

“Well, I don’t remember the details… … .”

Elsie-senpai, who had been clinging to me with earnest eyes, turned into a despairing expression when I blurted out her words. Seeing that, I was fed up and laughed.

It was a cute face. If he had always been good, he wouldn’t have been one of the most popular in the academy.

I nodded as if I couldn’t help it.

“Well, let’s assume that.”

“Yeah, yes! I mean I’m not a peeer! But, those, those bad bastards… Hehe, take it easy on me!”

Elsie-senpai let out a faint cry again, perhaps feeling overwhelmed. Dew began to form in her eyes again.

She tried to hide the tears by running her arms over her eyes, but that couldn’t be possible.

Her sobs only grew thicker. she let out a pitiful voice.

“Hey, you keep calling me to pee, and you uselessly argue… There was no one who took my side, no, no one, no one, uhhh… … .”

If it were you, would you want to take the side of the human being who was harassing people?

I wanted to ask a question like that, but first, I silently stroked Elsie-senpai’s head. It’s like crying all you want.

Originally, human beings were such beings. When the things you do to others come back to you, you become infinitely sad. I let Elsie-senpai cry.

“Me, how do I get married… Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccer allow can’t be seen. … .”

“It must have been difficult, senior Elsie.”

I nodded my head as if I totally agreed with her. Then Elsie-senpai cried even more sadly, as if she had finally met her side.

In fact, objectively, there was no one who would side with Elsie. He drove a gang and threatened one of his juniors, but was ambushed and publicly humiliated.

No matter how you look at it, it was a good thing, not a bad thing. Especially if you think about Elsie-senpai’s usual behavior. It was a strange situation if you took sides.

Unless you’re a man with an ulterior motive like me.

Thinking that the atmosphere was getting better, I whispered to Elsie-senpai in a secret voice.

“By the way, whose fault is that?”

“Yes, yes, of course you… Heep, oh no! Yes, it’s not your fault!”

Elsie tried to point at me as if it were natural for my question, but as soon as my expression became cold, she immediately withdrew her claim. Now, when her emotions were fluctuating, was her chance.

I started persuading her.

“Think again. Why was Elsie-senpai beaten by me that day?”

“My, why did I get hurt… … ?”

“Didn’t someone interrupt you then?”

At my words, Elsie’s blue sapphire eyes went blank. Her memory must be fumbling around at some point in the past. That day, when me and Elsie collided.

There were other characters. The reason Elsie-senpai couldn’t be wary of me was because, on the contrary, he was too wary of that person.

Elsie-senpai, who was silent for a moment, soon dyed her blue sapphire eyes with cold hostility. As if chewing, someone’s name flowed from her mouth.

Just like back then

“Delphin, Yurdina… … .”

done. I had a hunch. At this moment, all of Elsie-senpai’s anger and resentment were directed at Delphine-senpai.

In the first place, it was impossible for Elsie-senpai to turn hostility towards me, the object of fear. He was an opponent that made his legs tremble just by being by his side. Revenge was not possible.

If that were the case, it would be better to project that hostility onto the person he originally disliked.

Delphine was more suitable than anyone else for that purpose. I continued to whisper to senior Elsie.

“If you could get revenge on Delphine, what would you do?”

“… … revenge?”

Senior Elsie looked at me as if she were attracted just by hearing her words. I nodded heavily.

“Yes, then Elsie-senpai’s honor will be restored. He was the first to defeat Delphine Yurdina, wasn’t he?”

“Yes, yes, but… uh, how?”

“Hunting.”

I said it in a tone full of conviction, as if that was the only answer. Elsie-senpai’s eyes went blank for a moment.

“The heir of the Yurdina family had a tradition of winning the hunting festival while attending the academy. But what if we win the hunting festival?”

“I can feed you some candy… Yes, that’s fine!”

After hearing my suggestion, Elsie’s face suddenly brightened. Looking back, she was a lovely girl. It felt as if her smile alone made the surroundings brighter.

At least that was until she opened that dainty mouth.

“I can give that bitch a shot! Okay, you’ll have to screw it up to the point where you won’t make that cocky noise again… … .”

“… … uh, well So I’m telling you, why don’t you join me?”

I suggested that before anything harsh came out of her mouth.

Elsie’s suspicious eyes turned to me. That’s right.

Elsie-senpai had plenty of reasons to be hostile to Delphine-senpai, but I didn’t. She must have heard rumors going around. Even so, you wouldn’t think there was a reason to go all the way to the hunting festival and defeat Delphine.

A complicated story involving letters from the future, Seria, and even the conversation I had with Delphine that night.

It was difficult to explain all of that right away. So, while I was in trouble, Elsie asked me with a tilt of her head.

“yes? why me? It’s better to be with guys who are more talented than you… Heehee, oh, okay! I’ll do it! I’ll do it! No, let me be with you!”

I didn’t have an answer to give back, so I gave an answer by sneaking a hatchet from my waistband.

It shouldn’t be like this, I felt embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. There were limits to my verbal skills, and there were no limits to my hatchet.

Still, just being able to encourage Elsie-senpai’s motivation was enough. Now, there was no worry that Elsie, who was burning with a vengeance toward Delphine, would take part in the hunting festival.

However, senior Elsie seemed to have a bit of a strange habit.

“that… Hey, hey.”

Now was the time to part ways. Elsie-senpai seemed to be calm too, and as we were going our way, I heard a sudden call to me.

When I turned around, there was a small girl with slightly blushing cheeks, pulling my collar tightly. I looked at her with bewildered eyes.

“That, that’s what… … .”

The girl looked very shy. I waited patiently for her to make up her mind. I wondered what he was trying to say.

In the end, Elsie-senpai closed her eyes tightly and asked me in a crawling voice.

“Can I stroke it again…?” … ?”

Naturally, I couldn’t answer right away. Because the proposal was so unexpected, I had no choice but to stare at her in a moment of stupidity.

Then Elsie-senpai must have gotten even more embarrassed, and dropped her blushing face. The hand that grabbed my collar went into strength.

“Boo, I’m anxious!”

With a voice full of shame, Elsie-senpai shouted that. Only then did I get a rough idea of the situation.

She was plagued by vicious rumors. Her overly sensitive nerves must be bothering her. Not long ago, she even received a life threat from me.

He wants to heal that wound. At the very least, you can be relieved by confirming that I, the culprit behind this situation, have no intention of attacking you anymore.

If that was the case, there was nothing he couldn’t do. My palm stroked Elsie-senpai’s head again. To be honest, I was a little uncomfortable because the cone hat got in the way.

Elsie-senpai, with her head bowed down, calmly accepted my petting. It also looked pretty cute.

I threw a joke to commemorate my reconciliation with her.

“If you’re nice in the future, I’ll pet you again.”

“… … Who knows who can be your pet!”

Elsie-senpai cried out in tears, but she looked at me and felt intimidated again.

I couldn’t help but laugh again when I saw that.

Anyway, I got a reliable colleague.

If only Celine could be persuaded like this, one of the obstacles to winning the hunting festival would have been passed.

I was thinking so foolishly.

Until the next day, when I heard that there was a knife fight between Celine and Seria.
