150. Relationship with Anastasia

***

“Is there a stalker following the cadet Han Chun-seong?”

“…Yes?”

When Chun-seong blinked blankly at the unexpected question, Anastasia shook her head with a worried expression and sighed.

“Nope. it’s nothing. Just spill it.”

Even as she turned around, Anastasia felt strange.

‘Maybe it’s not something I have to interfere with.’

From earlier, he felt that a female student was looking at him.

And the moment Cadet Han Chun-seong appeared in the park, he even remembered clearly that he muttered strange words.

—-Seriously…why do you like a guy like that?

To her, Luna’s words clearly sounded like a voice with some emotion. But even if she told Cadet Han Chun-seong about it… She didn’t know the exact circumstances, so she was thinking about it.

“All right… .”

Looking at the nature of receiving the words with a shy expression, Anastasia spoke lightly.

“Let’s go straight to the cafe. I think we can talk at a cafe.”

“Then that’s good for me.”

At that pleasant answer, Anastasia suddenly glanced through the vegetation, thinking that if this were the case, it would have been better if they had made an appointment at the cafe from the beginning.

It seemed like she hid her body for some reason, but even so, to her, Luna was nothing more than a cadet.

It was said that hiding does not mean hiding.

Anastasia shook her head, thinking for a moment of Luna’s appearance with pink twintails.

‘Because I’m at an age where I can like anyone.’

And even to her, Han Chun-seong seemed attractive enough to be popular with the opposite sex.

“Miss Anastasia. I will buy it this time.”

“There is no need for that.”

“Nope. The other day, I even got dinner, and I’m sorry too. Let me buy it.”

Her nature is cautious, but when she expresses her opinion vigorously, Anastasia looks at him for a moment and then nods.

again.

that buck

But as the two slowly left the park, Luna, who had been hiding in the bushes, revealed her face.

“…ha. what about this?”

While muttering, Luna became troubled.

I don’t know why he hid himself, and he had no reason to hide like this, but after he became aware of it, he had already acted.

Surrounded by a strange feeling that she had to help Milia, Luna began to follow them carefully.

“It doesn’t look like you have deep feelings, but I just need to confirm a little more.”

I didn’t know why the two were meeting, but I wanted to confirm it.

To make Millia not have to suffer… .

“that’s right. This is all… for Millia’s sake.”

Luna rationalized her actions and began to move cautiously.

again.

So, Luna’s strange tailing began again.

Unbeknownst to only one, the two are aware of the bizarre and bizarre tailing… … .

with my daughter

The cafe’s distinctive bell rang and several people entered the cafe.

As Chuncheon and Anastasia entered, several people inside the cafe paid attention to them for a while. Soon after, the bell rang again and Luna entered the cafe.

“…?”

The beings inside blinked their eyes at the entry of the beings that drew attention one after another, but soon each focused on their own work.

good.

After ordering a light drink, he sat down and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Miss Anastasia. First of all, thank you for taking the time to do this.”

“No. Because I also had business with cadet Han Chun-seong.”

When Anastasia, who had taken a sip of the drink, took the word lightly, Chun-seong smiled lightly and nodded.

‘It’s not a bad start.’

He made a good impression on Anastasia, or at least he felt that way.

“And I thought deeply about what you said last night.”

“okay?”

When Anastasia looked at me with her chin propped up in interest, she slowly spoke what she had been thinking about.

“First of all, I want to tell you that you don’t have to worry about Glesia. At least I won’t be the first to approach Glesia unselfishly.”

On the subject of most concern to her, I gave affirmations from the start.

I won’t be the first to approach.

“Hmm. Cadet Han Chun-seong will never approach first. That’s a very thankful word, but on the contrary, that word must be… . Glessia can get close to the cadets of Hancheon Castle. Sounds like that, right?”

When Anastasia pointed out, I nodded slightly awkwardly.

“I don’t think that is very likely, but if that happens, I think I need to rethink my relationship. I know that Anastasia-sama wants me to be Glesia’s friend, but I think that Glesia’s feelings should be looked at separately.”

There was no hesitation in answering.

The fact that Anastasia thought highly of Glesia and said unconventional things to me was an important topic that made me think about it again and again.

However, no matter how much Anastasia said, I thought it was a rather presumptuous judgment for me to confirm my relationship with Glesia as it is.

‘The human heart is… .’

Because you don’t know how it will turn out.

I know it because I feel it.

As we met eyes like that, Anastasia suddenly smiled lightly.

“That’s not a bad answer. Although I didn’t want my first friend to develop a relationship. Certainly, we need to respect Glessia’s heart as well. No matter how much I am a family member, I can’t limit everything. The answer is good. If Glesia had feelings for the cadet of Hancheon Castle. At that time, Chun-seong Han can seriously judge himself.”

“…thank you for counting.”

“There is no need to be too grateful. I just think that’s the best decision.”

When Anastasia answered and took another sip of her drink, I slowly quenched my thirst with my portion of the drink.

“…”

The sour taste of the lemon drink flowing down my throat seemed to wake me up a little more.

And he spoke over and over again.

“And I have a suggestion for what you suggested to me.”

“Don’t be afraid to tell me. Because I said so too.”

Seeing the way he was being spoken to indifferently, I cautiously met his eyes, thinking about the date.

Anastasia’s appearance shows a completely different maturity than Glesia’s.

She was one of the absolute beings in this world.

…I had to properly ask for help from her.

“Next Thursday… can you give me one more minute?”

“It’s next Thursday, so does the meeting have another meaning then?”

Seeing the questioning look, I nodded calmly.

“Yes. That’s right. But I think Anastasia-sama will have a hard time believing me.”

“Tell me at once. I will listen and judge unless I believe Cadet Han Chun-seong’s words.”

When she continued, as if telling me not to worry, to be honest, I couldn’t find a way to accurately explain my current situation.

What was displayed on the status window was something that only you could check, and it wasn’t something you could show to anyone else.

So, the way forward that only exists for me now. In other words, it was not appropriate to explain in detail about ‘escape from death’.

Exactly one week from today, an apostle will come to the academy and threaten my life.

And after thinking about it, I thought of something else.

“Now… there is someone who is looking for my life.”

Indirectly, I turned my words around.

I decided to tell her the words that added another ‘lie’ to the ‘truth’ that my life was threatened.

“…!”

Anastasia, her eyes wide open, paused for a moment.

And I shouldn’t have missed this moment.

“As much as I can’t believe it right now. Anastasia-sama must have a hard time believing me too. By the way, next week today. There will definitely be an entity seeking my life. All I want is for Anastasia-sama to protect me then. That’s all I want from what you said to me the other day. The only person I can trust and rely on is Anastasia.”

Now she’s confused. I delivered the words as if in a rush.

At this point, when I had a justification for what I said to me in the evening two days ago, I had to ask her for help somehow, and I needed to make her accept it.

“If you tell me more specifically about the existence that is aiming for Cadet Han Chun-seong, I might be able to use my hands right now.”

And what Anastasia answered me was, to my surprise, not disbelief or any other question.

As if she believed in my bottomless words, she was telling me what to do next.

to be more specific.

“…I am completely unaware of the entity that is targeting me. However, if I had to guess, I would think of it as an ‘apostle’.”

Even I, who continued, felt that my words had no basis, but I had to push hard.

The reality is that I have to mix lies with the truth I know and seek help from her somehow.

“You mean the apostle?”

“Yeah. I think Anastasia knows a little about the accident I was involved in last time. Regarding the incident with Letea, the Apostle of Sacrifice. At the time of the accident, before I lost consciousness, I had a strange feeling that the apostle would come after me again.”

As soon as I thought that Anastasia believed me, I was able to communicate smoothly.

To the point where even I wonder if I’m this good at lying.

“…There is no concrete evidence yet, but it seems that you feel the crisis intuitively.”

“It feels like a kind of ‘revelation’ to me. I don’t know if the apostle left a mark on my body, but recently I’ve started to feel a strong sense of danger.”

It is possible to doubt enough, but Anastasia, who believes in words, is amazing… I delivered the words at will.

In a way, my words were not completely false.

Even if the goal written in the ‘way to go’ was only visible to me right away, it was like a kind of revelation.

Status window truth based on plain truth.

‘That’s like a revelation that will help me avoid death.’

Right now, my top priority is to get more specific hints by achieving level 5 of the attribute. Nevertheless, Anastasia is the one who will be the greatest strength. You could say it was her.

Because I thought that if she gave me a condition first, she would listen to me even if she didn’t completely believe me.

“…….”

I didn’t avoid her blue eyes looking straight at me without saying a word.

And I appealed to her with my eyes for the sincerity I felt.

I need her right now, I want her to lend me her strength… … .

“Whoa… .”

As she let out a deep sigh, my heart thumped.

A car that I really wanted to refuse.

Anastasia gave a shallow smile.

“If Cadet Han Chun-seong says so, do I have to give time to Cadet Han Chun-seong all day?”

“no. I would like you to spend with me from after my lecture until the evening.”

Since Carly was there during the lecture, I thought that there was no need for dead-end help.

Even Kali is the most reliable person to me.

The problem was empty time after that.

At my words, Anastasia nodded slowly.

“I see. I said I’d listen first, so I’ll give it that much time. It’s really hard to believe that an apostle appears at the academy, but that doesn’t make it look like Cadet Han Chun-seong is lying.”

The words that followed took me by surprise.

‘It’s so easy… ?’

Earlier, I had thought countless times how many words I would have to convey to convince her.

However, not long after the words were conveyed, Anastasia agreed very readily.

…this is the reality.

Even I couldn’t believe it.

“Really, what are you so surprised about?”

Anastasia, who smiled softly, looked strangely pretty… but a smile leaked out without my knowledge.

“No. I just… thank you for trusting me.”
