Chapter 29: 29

Chapter 29 : Oji-sama and I

 

 

"A midterm exam is it~. No~that's hard"

"Oh, Ann-sama. You seem to be having fun aren't you."

As usual, the three of them studied before the test.

As a duke's daughter, Miriella tries to behave with dignity and also composure. Because of that, she is often seen as a genius by her classmates.

"I don't know....... I don't even know what I don't know anymore."

"Miriella, hang in there!"

"Miriella-sama, first of all, let us do a thorough memorization."

Miriella has always been a child who was not good at studying.

Anessa has been teaching her the range of questions from a while ago.

 

 

-------------------------

 

“Come to think of it, it seems that academic achievements are also used as criteria for judgment isn't it.”

Anessa spoke to Ann next to Miriella, who was desperately memorizing. Ann nodded with "Ah" and interpreted the rest.

"Princess of the White Rose, is it" (Ann)

"Academics, behavior, popularity, and good or bad appearance. Was it I wonder?" (Anessa)

"It seems so." (Ann)

"Princess of the White Rose" is a title bestowed on a woman who is recognized as the best in the school, and is determined by a school-wide vote at the school festival.

Even the first-year students here and there are beginning to recognize the story. However, neither Miriella nor Ann seemed particularly interested.

“Both Ann-sama and Miriella-sama have enough qualifications I think.”

Miriella, who raised her head at those words, interjected with a serious face.

"Academics are like this you know. I am at this point is impossible."

Ann stroked Miriella's head.

Miriella, the one who Ann knew, was working hard to collect votes using her entourage. Ann smiled wryly while remembering the nostalgic setting.

"I also, don't need it I think. the flag with Serge-kun is already up anyway."

"Flag......?"

"Nuh-uh. First of all, because I can't behave like a noble, it's no good."

Anessa lowered her eyebrows, saying, "Ara ara." As for Anessa it's unfortunate, but it can't be helped if both of them are unmotivated.

Anessa too, didn't continue the talk ending at that point.

 

 

-------------------------

 

The first midterm exam was successfully completed.

Lunch break on the day the results were posted. Everyone who was spending their lunch break in the second music room as usual had a relief expression on their faces.

Today, when classes end until noon, everyone brings their bags and has lunch.

"Miriella, it seems you didn't have any red dots! You did well doing your best!"

"Onii-sama. Please stop, it's embarrassing."

Alexis is the one who laughs while looking at them.

"You brother and sister are all bad at academics."

"I'm above par when it comes to political science!"

"I am also, if it's music and physical education."

"Now now. Everyone did well doing their best."

Ann generously praised them as if she was a teacher. Anessa smiled and nodded in agreement.

Alexis cleared his throat with an awkward manner and glanced at Miriella.

"Today, the first year too, classes should be over by noon. I happen to hear this but, these days in a student town a rarity..."

"Ah! I have to go soon"

*gutari* and Miriella stood up.

"Everyone, because I have an important things to do, so please excuse me here. Good day."

"Have a safe going"

"Do your best okay!"

Miriella bows her head and leaves the music room immediately.

Alexis and Edmont twisted their heads at the two girls who waved their hands off. While looking at Alexis with her sideways glance, Ann prayed for Miriella's good fight.

A gazebo near the old school building. This is the place where Leon brought Ann, who had just entered school.

Ann told her that it's a perfect place where people can't see you, even though it's open enough to feel the presence of people nearby. That's why Miriella called Leon here with a letter.

(Even though I always sent letters to Oji-sama.)

When they lived apart, she often sent letters. And yet, she rewrote the letter that called out to him here over and over again.

It may be the first time to call out like this.

Maybe Leon can predict the reason why he was called out. Thinking so, Miriella was becoming unable to stay.

A shadow fell in front of her when Miriella looked down in endless worry.

"Sorry for the wait"

When she turned her head up, she saw Leon's familiar face.

She feels like she haven't seen him in a long time.

Leon is usually on the podium in math class, and they sometimes talk after class. However, it was just a "relationship between an uncle and a niece who meet at school," and Miriella felt a sense of distance.

"It feels like it's been a while isn't it. Even though we see each other's face every day."

To Leon, who loosened his mouth when he said that, Miriela in a flash matches her eyes. The joy of knowing that they felt the same thing.

“I also feel like, I was able to meet Oji-sama for the first time in a long time.”

"Un"

Leon also sits down on the bench where Miriella was sitting.

When she looked up frustrated at the distance that wasn't too close, he smiled softly, "What?". The look on his face makes her heart hurt. Unreasonable complaints come to mind that he doesn't know people's feelings.

"You see, Oji-sama."

Maybe Leon's attitude will change from tomorrow. It might be happier to continue the relationship where she is loved as a niece like before. She shoved such uneasiness into the depths of her throat.

"I, about Oji-sama, I like you"

Their eyes waver as they stare into each other's eyes.

Leon's mouth is about to say something, but it closes without saying anything.

I like Miriella. No wonder. He met her shortly after he came to this world, and have been sharing his secrets ever since. She has been loved like his sister, like a niece.

However, he knows that calling out and telling him like this doesn't mean "I like you" in that sense.

That's why, to be misleading alone mustn't happen.

Because Leon thought so, he hesitated about how to respond.

"From Oji-sama's point of view, I'm still a child. But, I have always yearned for Oji-sama. For a long time I don't know when."

Miriella's scarlet eyes never let Leon go.

A strong girl, Leon thought.

"I love you lots. Oji-sama."

She said what she had to say.

Miriella couldn't bear it and dropped her gaze.

Miriella was vaguely aware of it because she had captured his face firmly.

That Leon didn't realize this feeling.

"Miriella"

When she was called and looked up, she saw Leon's face frown.

What should I do, I had troubled him. Miriella realized that and immediately turned pale.

"Miriella, I you see"

Leon gently puts his hand on the clenched hand. As if to tell the pale Miriella that it's okay.

"In order to live as Leon in this world, I have intended to do my best until now. Even to take a job as a teacher, it's because I was desperate to find a place for myself."

"Yes"

"Miriella, who was with me together all through and yearn for me, is an important person to me."

Rarely, Leon spins the words stutteringly.

"It just, until now that is, because I've been working with all my might to live. I've never thought about that sort of thing or rather"

"Yes"

Leon put a little strength into the hand he put on and looked at Miriella.

"I can't give you an answer right away, but I'll think about it properly. Will you wait for me?"

"Yes"

Finally unable to endure it, Miriella's eyes filled with tears.

However without spilling it, Miriella nodded.
