I’m Not Doing This With A Friend

 

“Well, what are you going to do?”

I wiggled my eyebrows.

“Don’t think strange things. Because I asked you to teleport me to the club room. “This is a women’s dormitory, so if someone catches you when you leave, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Even if it wasn’t a women’s dormitory, it wasn’t a good idea for others to see us walking together.

Because it would only prove the rumor.

The club room was the only place where he and I could be in the same space without worrying about other people.

Carsion looked down at the button of his shirt I was holding, and his face suddenly contorted as if he was in pain.

“Black. Lien’s little hands are so cute… … .”

“Stop talking nonsense.”Is it hard for both of us to get along?”

At my question, a slightly troubled look appeared on his distorted face.

“It’s not like that.”

“then?”

I tilted my head and looked at Carsion as if asking what was the problem.

He rolled his eyes and took a deep breath as if he had decided on something.

“Lien, I asked you to teleport first.”

Carsion suddenly said something incomprehensible and hugged me.

My face was naturally buried in his chest, and my vision became black.

After a moment of embarrassment, I burst out laughing when I heard the sound of his heart pounding like crazy.

It seems like physical contact is necessary to teleport.

I don’t know if we need to have this much contact.

Come to think of it, it was already the second time. To be able to smell his mesmerizing scent so close.

I instinctively snuggled into his arms, wanting to smell his scent more deeply.

“What are you doing…?” … ?”

Suddenly, Fior’s voice was heard. It was a very displeased voice. I was startled and pushed Carsion away from his chest.

I never thought Fior would witness this scene.

Moreover, even though it was an instinctive action, I hugged him tightly. I didn’t know I had this much lack of self-control.

“Te, I heard that teleportation requires physical contact. I didn’t know it could move so quickly. haha.”

I quickly looked at Fior and made an excuse, but he just looked back and forth between me and Carsion with blurry eyes.

“… … Please, can you please go out and have a relationship? As you can see, I’m studying.”

“It’s not like that.”

I denied Fior’s words appropriately, neither strongly nor weakly. This is because I was worried that strong negativity would be said to be positive.

I asked, pretending like nothing was wrong and taking out a book across from him.

“But Fior, why are you studying in a way that doesn’t suit you?”

“… … “You are saying this because you are aware that it is exam period, right?”

“That’s what a child who didn’t do until yesterday suddenly opens a book.”

Oh my. They say that if you do something you shouldn’t do, it’s time to get kicked out.

I’ll be there soon.

“When you die, the chessboard you brought to the club room will be mine.”

“I don’t know why people are talking about my sudden death, but if you don’t mind 60 years from now, you can take it.”

“thank you. “When you get tired of playing with it, I will place the chess pieces one by one next to your grave.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“well.”

Fior couldn’t say anything directly to me but grumbled that he was returning favors with a vengeance and that he was telling jokes as if he meant them.

Then, Fior looks somewhere again with blurred eyes, as if he has discovered something. I also naturally turned my head to follow his gaze.

Carsion, who had been turned to stone, stood there far away.

I knew He would be embarrassed, but I never thought he would turn into a stone like that. Even though he hugged me first.

Seeing as how well the teleport worked, it seems like he had the spirit to do so again.

Is it because I snuggled into his arms?

“Hey, Carsion. Wake.”

Fior, who was worse off, stood up and clapped his hands in front of Carsion.

Then, free from petrification, he barely managed to turn his head toward Fior with a stiff movement.

Carsion whispered something in a voice so low that only Fior could hear it. Then, without even looking back, he quickly leaves the club room with machine-like movements.

As soon as the door closed, I asked Fior.

“Fior. What did Kaon say?”

“I don’t know. “I’m going to take a cold shower and come back, so I’m not supposed to pretend to be friends with you in the meantime.”

Then he stares at the door with an expression as if he sees all the crazy people.

“shower? “Why are you taking a shower all of a sudden?”

“well. If I knew that, I wouldn’t have made this face… … .”

Fior stopped speaking and then slowly opened his mouth as if he realized something. He hurriedly opens his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“I guess he was sweating a lot because he was nervous about hugging you. “he must have felt uncomfortable because he had a very timid personality.”

is it?

I shrugged and thought. Next time, I’ll have to hand out some of the antiperspirant to him that I made myself.

* * *

The only sounds coming from the club room were the sound of pages being turned and something being scribbled with a quill pen.

How much time has passed? Fior opened his mouth with his eyes fixed on the book as a thought suddenly occurred to him.

“Lien.”

“huh.”

“Now that I think about it, I feel a bit unfair. “Even though you look like you’re having a lot of fun in the club room, you study hard.”

“Who said what?”

“… … “I heard you study in a way that doesn’t suit you.”

It was only then that Lien raised her head and looked at him, hearing a voice that seemed quite depressed.

Before she knew it, Fior had taken his eyes off his book and was looking at her.

“Unlike that bastard Carsion, I am a hard worker. In particular, I am working hard not to fall behind in my specialty, swordsmanship.”

“That’s a bit surprising. “I thought you were a swordsman genius like Carsion.”

As Lien raised one eyebrow and honestly expressed what he felt, Fior laughed.

“Thank you for thinking similarly to that monster. Well, it’s not as bad as you think.”

“In terms of ranking?”

“Has it never been within five fingers?”

Lien looked at Fior with a puzzled expression.

The number of people majoring in swordsmanship was overwhelmingly high at the academy.

In other words, if you have never stepped outside of the five fingers, it is not at a level where you can say you have no talent.

“You are so good at making it seem like you are not bragging. Can you teach me that way of dealing? “Kaon will pay the tuition fee on behalf of you with the Love Hawk.”

“I didn’t specifically say this to brag.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Lien ignored Fior’s words and focused his eyes on the book again. Then, perhaps because he moved his arm incorrectly, he dropped the pen he had kept next to him on the floor.

Looking at the pen rolling around in the distance, Lien felt extremely annoyed.

‘Why would you go that far?’

It was when I decided to just study without using a pen. Fior stood up from his seat and placed the pen in front of me.

Lien looked at the pen in front of her with a quite mysterious expression. Fior tilts his head.

“what’s the matter? “Where did it break?”

“no. “It may be new to you, but I was thinking that maybe it was just pure luck that I met nice kids like you and Kaon in this club I happened to join.”

“Hahaha, what is that?”

Fior started laughing as if he had heard something really funny for the first time in a while, and suddenly stopped laughing.

His expression becomes strange.

“Wait a minute, Lien. Even so, I don’t think you really think Carsion is a good person, do you?”

“What’s wrong with Kaon? “Even though he looks harsh and sensitive, he is kind by nature.”

???

A question mark appeared on Fior’s face. He had a shocked expression on his face as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

“Can you say that after seeing what Carsion did to me?”

“Yeah… … “Isn’t that because you two are bad friends?”

Fior’s face turned white.

‘oh my god. ‘I really think I’m misunderstanding something.’

I knew Carsion was acting pretentious in front of Lien.

However, I could not have imagined that Lien would not have the slightest doubt about Carsion’s true personality even after hearing the rumors.

‘Carsion, what are you going to do with this bastard?’

While Fior was worried about his friend’s future, Lien was struggling with herself as she lost focus on her studies.

‘Oh, I hate studying. If it were an herbal encyclopedia, I could read it hundreds of times… … .’

Her eyes turn to the comfortable sofa and cozy blanket. The objects were clearly still, but it seemed as if they were tempting me.

After much thought, Lien decided to sleep for just 30 minutes and slowly got up from her seat and headed to the sofa.

Lien, who has just picked out a blanket, lies down on the sofa.

“Fior. “Wake me up in 30 minutes.”

“what? “You didn’t look sleepy at all, but you suddenly fell asleep like this?”

“OK, thanks. I’ll believe it. Oh, by the way, it’s okay to wake me up late, but if you wake me up early, I might get a little angry.”

“… … Lien? Are you really going to sleep?”

Fior was taken aback and waved his hand in front of me a few times. You can definitely feel the presence, but there is no movement.

He let out a laugh.

“Good behavior for once.”

He looked at Lien, whose eyes were closed.

I felt it from the first time I saw her, but she was definitely a pretty face. Whether it’s pure white skin or concave facial features.

The more I knew about her personality, the more attractive she became. Even though she looks blunt, she is more playful than anyone else and has a soft side.

It was understandable that Carsion, who had a personality breakdown, would act like a screw was missing whenever he was in front of her.

I thought that it would only be a matter of time before I started liking Lien if we stayed together, not just Carsion.

I just hope that my crush on Lien doesn’t develop into something else.

Meanwhile, as Lien closed his eyes to sleep, Carsion suddenly appeared in her mind.

‘By the way, is Kaon taking a half-body bath instead of a shower? ‘Why don’t he come like this?’

‘… … It’s been a while so I think it will come soon. Looking at this now, don’t you think I was playing all along?’

It seemed a bit unfair then.

Lien decided to put off trying to sleep after Carsion came and woke up.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Despite the startled voice, Lien got up and languidly headed to the desk.

Fior looked at her with strange eyes as she sat down on the chair.

“You said you were sleeping?”

“I lost all my sleep because of you, so take responsibility.”

“What?”

Fior’s face was colored with embarrassment.

Did she notice that I was looking at her the whole time?
