Chapter 54. I dont mind going to hell by your hand.


    Thank you for your time today.


    I didnt do much. You did most of the solving by yourself.


    Theres a big difference between having someone exin to you and not having an exnation at all. Thats why Violette is grateful to udia who helped her in her study.


    The study session ended when the sky began to darken. The four of them started to clean up the table at the end of the session. The writing utensils, books and papers disappeared to their bags one by one.


    Violette and Yn stood up after putting their things into their bags, and turned to the two people who still remained standing with them and bowed their heads. No, it was only Violette who bowed, while Yn just stered a fake smile on his face.


    I am sorry to have disturbed you, Mirania-sama.


    Have a safe trip home. See youter, Yn.


    Sorry to bother you.


    Mirania smiles briskly. He keeps smiling untill they leaves the room. His overly perfect smile looks a little terrifying.


    Now, if youll excuse us.


    Violette follows Yn, who turns his back on her after thest-minute greeting. She looked back at the room one more time before closing the door. It was not particrly funny to see Mirania waving his hand as their eyes met.


    Behind her, udia, who looked away, was also lightly waving his hand to her, which was somewhat funny.


    It made her a little happy.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    youre in a good mood.


    What?


    Shes been smiliing the whole time.


    Im not at .


    Violette wanted to deny, but it was an irresistible feeling that made her close her mouth. Its human nature to be bothered when people say things like that. Someone like Violette, who usually wears an iron mask, people might be curious about her expression if she suddenly smiled losing her tight expression.


    But fortunately, Violettes expression is not loose. For ordinary people, she is still as mysterious as ever.


    To Yn, Violettes expression appears as if she is smiling in a good mood. To Yn, Violettes smile is more precious than any other treasure in the world. Thats why he is bothered by such a suffocating feeling. Because her smile today was not for him.


    It was a lot of fun, wasnt it?


    Yn ?


    Yn stops suddenly, and Violette stops as well.


    When she looked beside to see what was going on, Yns face was downcast and his eyes were hidden by his bangs, making it difficult to tell what is he thinking. Yns expression was hard to make out because his eyes were hidden by his bangs. Even though she could see her face it is his golden eyes that she couldnt read.


    If Yn hides them as if hiding a secret, no one can tell what hes really thinking.


    Whats wrong, Yn? If we dont go soon, the gate will be closed.


    Vio-chan.


    A clear voice reaches to her ears with a slight tremor.


    It was always a pleasant moment for Yn when he called her name. For Yn, the fact that he could call Violette by her nickname brings greatest joy to him. He feels as if he is showing off a sparkling treasure, conveying his bubbling heart and secret feelings without hiding them.


    Words as important as the confession of love.


    That is why he did not want anyone to call Violette by a nickname. He wanted to be the only one who could call her by a nickname. Because that simple name conveys his feelings for her.


    Were you happy to talk to udia?


    Violettes smile is all he needed. There is nothing more precious than her smile. For Yn, it is an immutable fact, and there are no exceptions.


    Therefore, if Violette was happy, there was nothing more important than that. He could endure any hardship just in exchange of her smile.


    Until he saw Violette in front of udia with an happy smile on her face. He thought he could face any obstacle just for her to be happy.


    Its okay if Violette is happy.


    Its okay if Violetteughs.


    If it had been someone else,  if it had been Mirania, Yn could have forgiven her. He wouldnt have bat an eysh on whom sheughs with.


    But udia, no.


    Just not that man.


    Yn wanted to please Violette. He wanted to help her. He doesnt care how he feels for that. He doesnt care what he have to do to make her happy.


    The feeling towards her is not a lie. It has never not changed.


    If Violette wants, she can return to udia whenever she wants. She can pass her time with him now. They can always get together again tomorrow in the same way.


    Yn can still dere that he doesnt care about anything else except for Violette. He would do anything for her in a heartbeat.


    That is why Yn is so shaken now.


    If it was something else, it didnt matter to him. If it was someone else, he didnt care. Even if udia was with someone else, he wouldnt have cared.


    Because it was Violette, because Violetteughed, he felt so suffocated.


    Because with just one smile, Violette can go to heaven. And with just one smile, she can send him to hell.


    Since all he want is Violettes happiness, he can swallow this bitter feeling. If Violette is pleased, Yn will dly choose hell.
