7. Student Council – 06

Student cafeteria in Nineveh.

In a corner out of sight of the others, Claire Delphine Mascarena sat quietly with her lunchbox set in front of her.

There were two lunchboxes on the table.

One in front of Claire and the other across from her.

Claire didn’t even touch her own lunchbox while quietly putting it on the table.

… As if they were waiting for someone who wasn’t here right now.

“uh? Claire? What are you doing here? And what about that lunch box?”

A female student who happened to be familiar with Claire asked a question in a curious tone, as if she was curious about her appearance, but Claire just smiled at the female student and answered.

“It’s just that there’s someone I’m going to have a meal with. waiting.”

Claire gave that answer with a bright smile, and the female student also nodded as if agreeing with Claire’s answer.

As far as the female students know, Claire has a weak and timid personality, but because of her unique caring personality, there are many people around her who get along well with her.

You probably don’t know, but there must have been someone you promised to have a meal with. And that lunch box is the one you promised to eat with that friend.

“Okay, enjoy your meal.”

“yes.”

Answering that, Claire turned her gaze back to the seat opposite where no one was sitting.

Thinking of someone who will soon be sitting across from her over there, eating and talking with her.

“hehehehe.”

The person Claire was thinking of and promised to dine with today was none other than Jean.

No, strictly speaking, we didn’t promise to eat together. It’s just that, somehow, the unwritten rule of having a meal together during lunchtime arose.

Although this is a student cafeteria, and it is a place where Claire can order and eat as many different foods as she wants without having to make a lot of effort, she insists on making her own lunches.

The reason was nothing. It’s just a trivial feeling of wanting to feed him the food he made.

No matter how you look at it, Claire is the daughter of the Mascarena family and is of aristocratic status. There was no need for her to cook by hand.

Because Claire was someone who gave orders to others to cook like this, and was not in a position or position to cook by herself.

However, Claire herself was hoping for that. I wanted to feed him the lunch box I made myself.

It felt good when he ate the lunch box he made.

He felt proud when he said that the lunch he had made was delicious.

He eating the lunch he made and saying ‘I ate well’ to himself… it was good.

just good

Again, I wanted to hear the words ‘I ate well’ from him.

So, at this moment, Claire was waiting for him blankly, staring at the empty seat.

Claire was also well aware that strange rumors had been circulating in Nineveh lately, and that Jean was very reluctant to reveal herself to others.

That’s why I’m late for my appointment with her. There is never a person who is late for an appointment without any reason, and I am not a person who breaks it.

Still, it shouldn’t be too late. If the bento gets cold, it loses its taste. How about keeping the lunch box warm by using a warming spell? However, if the contents of the lunch box go bad… .

However, it was well past lunchtime, and Jin didn’t come until everyone around Claire had finished eating and woke up.

“…..”

The bento had already cooled down a long time ago. But even so, Claire did not put a finger on the lunch box in front of her.

This lunchbox is a lunchbox that she made, but at the same time, it is also a lunchbox that she does not deserve to eat alone.

Because this lunch box was not made for himself, but for someone else.

Claire slowly touched the cooled lunch box with her fingers, contemplating something.

Will I continue to wait for him to come, or will I go out to find him myself?

It’s clear that something is going on. It’s clear that something happened that she doesn’t know about.

Unless… Because there was no way he would break his promise to himself.

Thinking of something, Claire soon picked up the lunchbox placed across from her and slowly rose from her seat.

It wasn’t even worth worrying about. If he doesn’t come here, all I have to do is go find him myself.

The option of not eating with him in the first place did not exist for Claire.

****

The site of Nineveh is too large. With a little exaggeration, it boasts a huge area that is not an exaggeration to say that it is the size of a fairly small and medium-sized city.

Searching for a person’s whereabouts in a place like this is literally a reckless task looking for a needle in the sand.

Of course, no matter how large the area of Nineveh is, there is a limit to the distance that one person can travel around.

Claire also knows where Jin usually hangs out and where his range of action is, so if you walk around with your feet, you won’t be able to find where he is-

“Wind, please be my eyes and ears.”

For Claire, there was a way that was far simpler and more efficient than making such ignorant footsteps.

ugh-

The wind gently blows around Claire. And at the same time, the wind spirit, the sylph, started summoning countless times around her laughing.

The magic Claire used was none other than ‘Wind Guidance’.

It was a kind of far-seeing magic that allowed the wind spirit, Sylph, to share her vision and look into places she couldn’t reach with her own eyes, but Claire wanted to use this spell in a slightly different direction.

Swoop.

Claire pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom. It’s just an ordinary handkerchief with nothing special about it.

But it was also the same handkerchief that Claire had used countless times before, when she was nursing him, wiping his forehead again and again and taking care of him.

“Can you remember the body of a man exuding here?”

Nod.

At Claire’s words, the sylphs nodded as if they remembered the smell.

“Then find me. Right now, as quickly as possible.”

At the same time, the sylphs started to scatter in all directions.

Sylphs can go and appear anywhere where there is wind and air. Those sylphs will soon be able to find out where Jin is now.

If other wizards on the continent saw how to work the spirits in this way and find traces of people, it would have been a great application that would have nothing to say even if they fainted on the spot, but Claire herself was not very impressed.

Because at this moment, there was only one thing that was important to her, nothing but to reveal his whereabouts.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before the sylphs found out where he was. And the place where he was now was an unexpected place that Claire had never expected.

“… men’s dormitory? Your own room?”

Nod.

At Claire’s question, the sylphs nodded their heads up and down as if they were not mistaken. And at the sylphs’ answer, Claire bit her lower lip without realizing it.

I knew what was going on. I thought I was late for dinner with her because something unexpected happened.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Nor was there anything wrong with his body.

He hadn’t come to the restaurant in the first place. Locked in his room, quietly without coming out of there.

“…..”

Claire knows too. You can never blame him for this.

Meeting with him at lunchtime, eating together, or bringing her a lunchbox was always something she liked, and I had never made an appointment or set up a schedule with him beforehand.

but… But I couldn’t help but feel sad. I thought it was an unspoken rule for each other to meet and eat together at lunchtime even if there was no promise or promise.

At the same time, on the other hand, I was a bit scared.

Could it be that he was tired of himself? It was only once or twice that he hung out with him, but in fact, did it become an annoyance for him to cling to him?

Did he get tired of being next to a plain, characterless woman like himself?

In fact, Claire doesn’t know men very well. The only men she knew and got close to in her life were her father and siblings.

But even she knew a little bit of ‘common sense’.

Men don’t like women who are plain like themselves. I heard that the majority of men prefer and like women who are flashy and radiant.

… Yes, for example, a girl like Erekaya, the student council president, and Altina, who spends a lot of time with him at the gymnasium.

Kaya, the daughter of the Duke of Pendragon and the student council president of Nineveh, was originally a human living in a different world from her, but Altina, who was also Claire’s friend, was a woman with the opposite direction.

Unlike Claire, who is sober, passive, and not very assertive, Altina is a woman who shines wherever she is.

She is active in everything, lively, and even considerate of others, and she is also very beautiful even for Claire, the same woman.

Jin is also a man. If you hang out with such Altina every day, practice sword training together, and share many things, you may have no choice but to be attracted to such a woman.

In the process, Jin may have naturally compared Altina and Claire.

And as a result, wouldn’t Jin have been unable to find the value to hang out with Claire, who is relatively inferior to Altina and ugly?

“…..”

no. Let’s never think strange thoughts. Nothing is certain yet.

Perhaps, he suddenly caught a cold and was lying on his bed in his room.

Maybe he’s still getting a good night’s sleep because he’s tired today and overslept.

Maybe, he forgot to eat with himself because he felt uncomfortable and indigestible today.

With all kinds of excuses for Jin in her head, Claire slowly moved to the room the sylphs had told her about.

Obviously, obviously, something must have happened. There must have been an unavoidable circumstance that prevented him from having a meal with him.

I didn’t know why. However, Claire feels that this kind of heart is very frustrating and uncomfortable.

Why is this? Why is he feeling these emotions?

I’ve never felt anything like this before. I’ve never felt my heart tremble so much because someone was late for an appointment with me or I couldn’t see another person for a day.

Why is she so restless at the thought of him now?

Even Claire herself couldn’t understand her feelings. However, the feeling of not being able to stay still took hold of her.

Only the thought that this unknown feeling, burning like a wildfire, can be resolved if she faces Jin fills her head.

Turbuck.

And so Claire arrived. Where he usually stays, his dormitory, standing in front of his door.

Still holding the lunchbox in one hand, Claire hesitated for a second as she stood in front of the door.

Is it really okay to just jump in like this? Still, it was another man’s room, and Jin would have his own privacy, so would it be okay to break into it without making any arrangements in advance?

… But, but he also broke his promise to me. It’s not like I really promised you with my little finger, but you broke your tacit promise with me.

ok, so it will be fine Because this is the teacher to the end. So, even if you insist on this much, it might really be okay.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the door to surprise him—

“… jin.”

A woman’s voice is heard from inside his room.

No, that earlier was not an hallucination. Because right now, in his room, there really was another woman sitting on the bed.

In an instant, Claire’s mind turned white.

Claire thought that Jean hadn’t been able to eat with her for some reason. It was assumed that he had broken his promise to her.

And her guess wasn’t wrong.

It was because Jin was secretly dating another woman in his room.
