Chapter 24: —


    <strong>Simrly Contradictory People ()</strong>


    In the end, Violette and Yn wasted most of their lunch time. Yn managed to eat lunch, but considering the amount, it was like only eating desserts.


    Violette didnt really care about her own portions. She had less time to eat because it was the result for her own actions, and originally, she also didnt really eat that much.


    But it wasnt the same for Yn. He didnt have time to eat since he waited for Violette. Theres no way such a small meal would be enough for someone of Yns size.


    Violette kept worrying until after school about whether Yn could concentrate on his afternoon ss after eating so little. She couldnt concentrate at all, but she properly took notes, so its all good.


    (<i>I wonder if hes free right now</i>)


    Violette packed up her notes and textbooks while thinking about Yuran, or rather, Yns stomach. It would be her fault if he was hungry, so she would like to treat him to a meal. But, what if Yn had other ns?


    She shouldve asked about it before the end of the lunch break, but the idea of treating him out just came to her mind during the lesson.


    Yn was bright and calm, hes tolerant, and he was good at taking care of others. He definitely would have many friends.


    To ask him to spare his time after school for her Violette felt extremely apologetic.


    (<i>Lets go to his ssroom for once</i>)


    After thinking this far, Violette wracked her brains even more. Yns ssroom was in the first year ss. It was the ss that was the most strongly influenced by Maryjuns existence. If Violette went there, wasnt that the same as throwing a lit match to a pit of oil? The second years hardly talked about the rumors anymore, but if the originator was there, the amount of time taken to extinguish those gossips would be different.


    Violette knew that Yn and Maryjuns ss were different, but since she couldnt teleport, she still had to walk past it.


    Ill immediately go home as soon as theres a ruckus.


    Not going was not an option. However, she also didnt have to be careless and charge in recklessly. Its not like its wrong to want a ensured escapeter on.


    Violette-sama, goodbye.


    Yes, goodbye.


    Violette returned the farewell from her ssmates who were standing in front of the exit, ready to leave the ssroom.


    From middle school till the end of her first year in highschool, Violette still thought that this school was too spacious. It was so wide, to the point where there were so many ssrooms that she had never been to even after being enrolled in this school for more than a year.


    Yns ss was a ss Violette had never visited before.


    Of course she had experienced being a first year in high school, but Violettes ssroomst year was different. The extreme size of the school resulted in sses being too far apart from each other. Even if two sses were on the same floor, the distance between the ssrooms and corridors werepletely out of proportion.


    And then, there was another thing that Violette had never done before.


    In fact, she had never visited Yns ss to see him even once, even when Violette and Yn went to the same school.


    (<i>I might have been spoiled by him a little bit too much</i>.)


    During middle school, Yn visited Violettes ss every day, so there was no need for her to do so. Now that Violette was aware of the fact that she never went to find him on her own, she reflected on it a little.


    But then, having Violette who was a senior student and Dukes daughter visit him would result in a lot of rumours, and Violette didnt feel like those rumours would go in a very good direction. Other than that, she also wanted to avoid meeting Maryjun if possible.


    Violette could squeeze out a very small amount of courage since right now was already after school, but if this was normal school time, the unfavorable condition would be enough to crush her cue all together.


    Even now, her pace was slow even though she had already decided to go, and she passed a lot of students who were going to return home. Her vain struggle to decrease the number of people in the ssroom was transparent.


    Its here.


    But of course her struggle had its limits. Although she had walked much slower than how she normally walked, the ss where Yn was studying was in front of her.


    When she peeked inside from the open door, the figures of people had considerably decreased. She was relieved that the amount of people was getting a lot less, but she couldnt find the tall figure she was looking for.


    Did he go home already?


    Violette fixed her posture that was leaning forward and leaked out a sigh. Now that she thought of it, the more the amount of people had decreased, the more likely it was that Yuran would have returned home. Her own words of not making any promises at the lunch break were cleanly returned to her after school.


    Hey there.


    !!


    The moment Violette was going to give up and leave, there was a voice from behind. Violette thought that the ones who would realize hering here were the people in the ssroom, so she waspletely defenseless. She turned back without thinking.


    The first thing that attracted Violettes eyes was the persons brown skin. In this country where there were a lot of fair-skinned people who didnt tan their skin, the boy looked unconditionally healthy, and Violette was surprised that she didnt have a sense of incongruity even though this was the first time she saw someone with brown skin. His messy silver hair and perfectly round eyes were cute and it suited him, but the arms that were exposed on the rolled up sleeve were thicker than Violettes. She couldnt help but to think that the boy was short since she was using Yn as the standard, but he was still taller than Violette.


    In the school where there were many students who acted like a superior gentlemen, he was an extremely normal rather than normal, he looked like a very lively boy.


    Do you have any business in my ss? Or maybe you are looking for someone?


    Y-yes


    Apparently, the boy didnt feel shy talking to people he just met, just like his appearance. He didnt seem to have any ulterior motive, so Violette didnt have to be vignt against him, but her instinct told her to move away since the distance was shrinking too quickly.


    Even so, this person had expressly called her out first, so its not like she shouldnt talk to him. Yn was not in the ssroom, but she couldnt be sure whether he had returned home or just not in the ss right now.


    I am looking for Yn Cugrus, but did he already return home?


    Yn?


    The boy repeated Yns name, sounding more like he was surprised rather than asking her a question. Was it too unexpected? His gaze roamed around while making a thinking posture, and after a moment, he opened his mouth as if he had noticed something.


    Wait, are you actually that Violette?


    Eh?


    Having her own name being called so suddenly, only question marks came into her mind, unable to even nod.


    Violette was sure that this should be the first time she met with the boy in front of her. She would never forget such a characteristic person.


    Without noticing Violettes puzzlement, the boy nodded over and over again looking like he was convinced.


    Youre just like what Ive heard of Of course he will be that overprotective, eh.


    Er Did we ever meet before?


    Ahh, sorry. It must be disgusting for me to call your name out so suddenly, right?


    I dont think its that extreme


    His appearance as heughed with an open mouth reminded Violette of the sun, but in a different way from Yn. If Yn was a warm fine clear day, this boy was like a zing evesting summer. Violette felt like she was scorched, but she didnt dislike his presence.


    Im Gia Fort. This is the first time were meeting.


    I am Violette Rem Vahan. It seems like you already know about me, though.


    Its because Yn often talks about you. Its true that this is the first time we meet, but for me, you are more like an acquaintance now.


    Yn did?


    Ive been buddies with Yn since middle school.


    Violette herself said how Yn and the boy, Gia were quite simr before, but what came to her mind first was how it was unexpected.


    Both Yn and Gia surely had many friends. However, the atmosphere they gave off was thepletely opposite. In short, their type was different.


    Such two people were good friends, and from what Gia said, it seemed like they have been friends for quite a long time. Violette didnt understand the meaning of friendship from the beginning, so the rtionship between these boys werepletely out of herprehension.


    Im sure he shouldnt have returned home yet, did you find him?


    He wasnt at the ssroom.


    Maybe he was asked to do something I think he wille back here soon, do you want to wait for him?


    No, its alright. Its not like we made any promises before, so Ill excuse myself now.


    Violette was thankful for Gias consideration, but waiting at this ce would be bad for her own heart. She didnt know whether Maryjun had returned home or not, and she also couldnt be sure whether Yn who she didnt make any promises with woulde back.


    It waspletely Violettes slip up for not making any promise with him before.


    Can you help me ry a message to him?


    Sure, what is it?


    Im sorry for today, Ill apologize again next time Can you convey that to him?


    Got it~ Ill convey it to him with full responsibility!


    Thank you.


    It was a pity that Violette couldnt meet Yn and appease him for making him hungry today, but then, she also managed to meet Yns good friend, so this was also a harvest.


    When they were still young, Yuran would always stick behind Violette, and he would always find some spare time to go to her ce even after attending school, so Violette was happy that he found himself a good friend. She knew that with Yns personality, everyone would like him, and its easy to imagine that he could make good friends, but having the real thing in front of her was different.


    Her important younger brother got a good friend. He still showed his face to Violette quite often right now, but that would also became less and less one day. Yn was a childhood friend who was the closest to Violette, but he might graduate from that in a not so distant future.


    It was wonderful that her important person had someone important to him, but Violette wondered why she felt a bit lonely when she imagined it.


    Violette could finally go home with a good mood today after a long timeas if. She was jumping to a wrong conclusion. They said that before one reached their home, it was still considered as an outing, so she shouldnt have dropped her guard before she left the school gate.


    Violette.


    udia-sama


    Can you give me a little of your time?


    Before she could pass through the entranceway merrily, she was stopped in her tracks.


    Theres no way she could reject udia who was asking her with a serious expression, and she could almost imagine that her future was about to change its course.
