Chapter 77: 77

“Then why can’t we take classes together?”

Kir’s words were twisted from how embarrassed he was. He looked at me and Mr. Jeremy again with anxious eyes. He seemed to want to take classes with me. It’s clear to me, but Mr. Jeremy couldn’t feel it.

“It is not for me to choose, it is for Lady Aide to decide. We can’t suddenly change Grand Prince’s progress, so Lady Aide will learn again what she has learned.”

Mr. Jeremy already had a good feeling towards me, so the eyes staring at me were gentle. Instead of refusing, he handed me the option. Kir’s head turned to me.

“You’re going to attend class with me, right?”

His voice trembled slightly, his eyes fluttering in earnest. He really doesn’t want to get separated from me. I scratched my cheek in embarrassment.

At first I thought it was some kind of trickery, but at this point, I couldn’t understand why Kir was trying so hard because I didn’t want to see him. But he did everything he could, so in the end, his foolishness caught my ankle.

Mr. Jeremy said that the level difference between Kir and me would be quite huge. For me, who spends more time studying than actually playing, trying to learn with Kir will be a loss.

However, seeing the purple eyes looking up eagerly, it is not easy to say no. When you are young, it is a period for you to value your friends more than others. I accept relationships with friends more deeply than when I was an adult, and I tend to be highly dependent on them. More so because I know how much Kir relies on me.

Even though I was a year younger, Kir was chasing after me like an older sister. I don’t want to show off, but knowing that this guy has a lack of affection because of his environment, I couldn’t cut Kir off. Even though I know it’s useless, I don’t know why I’m so soft-hearted sometimes.

So I decided to give Kir a chance.

“First, let’s take another class. Maybe there is a part where our progress meets?”

Hearing my positive reply, Kir’s nervous face opened wide.

“That is one way. Let’s do it.”

Mr. Jeremy’s face as he answered looked shaky. He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to think that maybe the other subjects would just be the same. To be honest, I didn’t expect much because I partially had the same thought. Looking at Kir’s personality, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything that he likes after history.

And it always went as expected. Surprisingly, Kir’s study progress was far behind me. The only thing Kir was better than me were the etiquette and art-related subjects that I didn’t learn because I didn’t think I needed it. He was slightly better in practice, but his theory was worse than mine.

The reaction of Kir’s tutors when they first saw me was the same. Dissatisfaction with the sudden appearance. Then, they ended up giving the advice to take a separate class because I couldn’t go along with Kir, like how my progress in aegyo and cleverness did not match.

The more I met Kir’s tutor, the more he noticed. Even when Mr. Jeremy said it, he still said, ‘We should still go to class together!’

In the end, I got the same advice from all of Kir’s tutors.

“It would be better for Lady Aide to take classes separately from the Grand Prince.”

Like that. He tried to change their mind by attacking the teachers who didn’t like me, but he ended up getting angry because we can’t attend classes together because the progress does not match. I was terrified of what would have happened if I had cut off classes with Mr. Hafterry.

Am I amazing? Or is this kid stupid? I couldn’t stand it, and stared at Kir with such a blatant expression. Kir, who has been proud of himself, was sitting with his shoulders squashed, not even straightening  his body.

“What’s this?”

If you have something to say, say it. As I put my hand on my waist and looked at him angrily, Kir’s head sank even more, digging into the ground.

“You told me to take classes together, so what is this?”

This time, Kir did not answer. I wanted to be angry, but I couldn’t. If it had been the normal Kir, I would have shown a confident attitude of saying ‘What should I do?’ The bitter words that were about to come out were just swallowed.

Still, it was frustrating that Kir was so discouraged. It’s like seeing a younger brother who came in after being beaten outside.

If Kir shouted and cried, I would get annoyed and go back, but when he looked like that, I sighed in confusion. Then, Kir’s body shook at the sound of my sigh, making it even more frustrating. I couldn’t find anything to say. While I was calming my bitter mind, Kir muttered.

“I will try.”

I sent a glance saying ‘what nonsense were you talking about’, and Kir had the courage to meet my gaze.

“I will work hard and study hard. So, let’s go to class together.”

Kir’s pretty face was desperately distorted. I can’t help but cry, so I clench my teeth so that the tears don’t fall. Actually, I didn’t understand Kir’s reaction. The world doesn’t fall apart just because he can’t see his friend for a day or two, so I don’t know why he was trying so hard to stop me.
