151.Tell Me Your Wish (6)
“Tina! Did you hear that rumor? The door to the secret library has been found!”
“…I heard it too, but isn’t it just a rumor?”
Martina smiled wryly at Shuri, her tail wagging frantically and her eyes sparkling. It was a rumor that became a hot topic these days, so it was well known that rumors were expanded and reproduced one after another, but this time the case was a little different.
‘Suddenly the door to the secret library was discovered. It doesn’t make sense.’
This is a door that no one has discovered since the Academy was built. There’s a rumor going around that a door like that was suddenly discovered? It wasn’t just going around, and the rumor even included a relatively clear location.
Rumors that are detailed enough for anyone to look at the door out of curiosity are bound to be suspicious. Therefore, Martina suspected that someone had spread the rumor intentionally.
Otherwise, there was no way the details of the rumor could have improved so quickly.
‘Where is the source of the rumors that have become so detailed as to be contrived?’
It is said that the library’s secret library has been a rumor that has been spreading among Al-Aum students since the beginning, but this is the first time that rumors have even been heard about its location. Martina couldn’t help but worry that it might be some kind of trap.
“I heard it too. But rumors are just rumors. “You shouldn’t be swayed too much by rumors.”
“But wouldn’t it be okay to go there at least once?”
“Are you that curious?”
“But this is the first time such a clear method has been presented. Wouldn’t you like to try it at least once? If it doesn’t work out, you can just go back!”
Martina slightly lowered her gaze and looked at Shuri’s tail, which was shaking like crazy. Martina thought that she really wanted to go and that she would be upset if she didn’t go with her.
“I’ll stop by on the way home. “Miss Elissa too.”
“That’s right! “Miss Ellie, we should go together too!”
Martina mentioned Elisa, who she used to come home with these days, and looked worriedly at the still empty seat next to her.
‘You’re coming late today.’
What’s going on?
As Martina’s eyes revealed the worry that could not be hidden, Shuri smiled brightly and said.
“Maybe something happened and you’re late?”
“…Probably so. It will happen.”
But why am I so anxious?
It seemed like nothing bad would happen if she was just a few minutes late, but for some reason, anxiety sprouted in her head. Instinctively, her eyes scanned the entire classroom.
‘Marie, Kenneth, Royan, Victor…Where did Bella go?’
Jjolak-
Goosebumps appeared on Martina’s back her. After all, the ones who weren’t there were Bella and Elisa. Martina got up from her seat without realizing it. It seemed like a combination of being anxious and being too anxious.
“I’ll be back for a bit.”
“Yes? Where should I go?”
“I’m going to pick up Miss Elisa.”
Martina hid her anxiety beneath her face and smiled elegantly as always.
———-
“Oh my, what a coincidence. “I can’t believe we met in a place like this.”
“Be, be, be, Miss Bella?”
At the end of lunch time, Elisa was quietly heading to the classroom where the next class would begin. She flinched in surprise when she saw someone she happened to see.
She is a girl who looks tough and actually has a tough personality. Bella smiled gracefully and approached Elisa. She glanced over Elisa’s body, smiled and opened her mouth.
“Are you enjoying your dating class?”
“Yes… ?”
“Looking at it, there has been very little progress.”
Why are you suddenly saying this? Elisa lowered her head, not knowing what to do at her sudden interference. Bella let out a long sigh in an atmosphere that felt like she was being scolded.
‘I can’t believe I lost second place to this bitch…’
Bella hated her. Even though she is a ridiculously talented Shuri, she is outranked by this gloomy female student. As she worked hard to become the best, she didn’t like Elisa even more than Shuri.
Elisa was a student who didn’t even know she existed until her exam numbers were posted on the bulletin board.
A student she didn’t even know she had.
The fact that she was pushed aside by such a student made Bella feel stressed throughout the first semester.
‘It’s ridiculous to be defeated by a bitch who can’t even use level 3 magic!’
She couldn’t understand the fact that whether she was in practical or written exams, she kept coming in third place by just a hair. Why do professors give higher scores on practical tests? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it.
That’s why Bella couldn’t like Elisa.
“If you move forward slowly like that, it will be taken away by someone else.”
“Take it away, take it away…?”
Bella brought out the foolishness that was not even in her heart and sprinkled oil on Elisa’s heart little by little. Through observation over the past few days, Bella has figured out Elisa’s situation. It has already been decided how to shake her heart
‘Why does that man have so many competitors?’
How dumbfounded she was when she looked at the people around Elisa. Four women are involved with a man who is neither handsome nor attractive.
There was even a saint among the competitors. No matter how you look at it, Elisha’s chances of winning are extremely close to 0%. Bella decided that she could take advantage of this situation and at this time she approached this timid girl.
Since Martina was in the classroom and there were other people during lectures, the only time she walked around alone was right after lunch.
“Think about it. Is there one or two people around you who like him? Do you think you can beat those people and win love?”
As Bella pointed out the pain in her lungs, Elisa recalled numerous faces in her head.
Karina, Milia, Leni, Sif, and Viola, who had been showing suspicious signs recently… Each one had a formidable character. The only one who is still actively competing with her is Millia, but aren’t Millia and Johan on good terms to the point where they sleep in the same room?
“Do you think you can win love with such a lackluster attitude?”
“B-but…”
Bella’s words struck her as timid as a dagger. Bella’s words she were extreme, but she wasn’t wrong. She knew that she would never be able to survive the competition if she just followed along at her sleeves like she did now.
“To win the competition, sometimes you have to take risks.”
Bella deliberately smiled softly and spoke her words to her. Although her appearance she made her look fierce, her smile her her her was softer than before, making Elisa listen to Bella’s words at least a little.
Because it was too sweet to just ignore.
The fact that she couldn’t just ignore it and move on also played a role.
‘How naive.’
Bella, seeing the change in Elisa’s attitude her her, swallowed her sneer. And that ridicule fueled the fire in Bella’s heart.
“Because of this bitch…”
“…Yes?”
“It’s nothing.”
I hide the feelings of inferiority and anger that have stuck in my heart and put on the mask again. This was something she was already good at with Bella. She felt that it was time for Bella to finally get her luck.
“Do you know? There is an item in the secret library that is said to grant wishes… If you are Elise, it is worth a try at least once.”
Negative emotions are easily contagious.
Bella knew that fact better than anyone else.
“Rain, secret library… Uh, just a rumor… Oh, no?”
“There really is a secret library. I’m telling you this because I feel sorry for Miss Elise. Considering Sir John’s tendencies, wouldn’t it be more advantageous to show ability rather than make a half-hearted appeal?”
“B-but…”
“So are we going to be pushed out of the competition like this? There are times when you have to use any means possible to get what you want.”
Elisha’s body stopped at those words.
Her Her Her unrequited love Her Her Her alone is so painful, but what happens when she becomes untouchable at all? As soon as my eyes caught the negative emotions she had been ignoring, her heart began to beat wildly.
Wandering eyes.
A blank expression.
Bella spun around and struck her final blow.
“Go to the northwest section of the library when the scarlet and black mix. There is a purple book with nothing written on it. When you open page 231 of the book, a door to a secret library is revealed.”
‘I’ll probably tell Miss Martina.’
Anyway, all she can do is interrogate.
Bella disappeared across the hallway without waiting for Elisa’s answer.
All that is left is Elisa, standing silently and looking at Bella’s back with a complicated face.
“Miss Elisa? “What were you doing here?”
“Hey, Martina…”
She appeared, as if in a play, switching batons with Bella at the perfect timing, and looked at Elisa with a worried face.
Elisha spoke to her, unable to hide her complicated face.
“Well, that is…”
——————-
“John! Where are you going?”
“I have somewhere to go for a while. “Sleep first.”
“Can’t I go too?”
“No.”
“Tooth. Have a nice trip.”
I opened the front door while being seen off by Milia. The slightly cool night air caressed my cheek. It’s good weather for moving.
I went straight into the studio and into the hidden tunnel. According to the rumors spreading today, Shuri or anyone else will enter the secret library within a few days. I was thinking of installing a surveillance device that I had purchased at a high cost so that I could understand the situation before that.
Actually, it’s easiest and most convenient to stick Lue there…
[Are you planning to stick me in a dirty, damp tunnel?!]
…, So I gave up on that method.
That was the easiest. Of course, I have to work a little harder during lectures.
Anyway, I quickly arrived at the tunnel dug in the library.
The entrance to the tunnel was in the western section of the library, so it was quite a distance to the entrance to the secret library. I slightly opened the door to the secret passage and looked inside.
Good. There is nothing.
I leisurely opened the passage of the library and entered inside.
Perhaps because it was the middle of the night, the huge library had an eerie atmosphere. A ghost or something won’t come out, but we need to do it quickly. Since I have to start escort work in the morning tomorrow, I thought I would just install it quickly and leave.
Sneaky. I quietly looked around and approached the location of the secret library that I remembered.
On the bookshelf that serves as the door to the secret library, there will be a book with a purple cover. If you put a signal nearby and wait…
Huh?
I stared blankly at the purple book scattering blue light.
It was a blue light that only those qualified to enter the secret library could see.
