104 I... Like Them?
I opened the windows and cast furtim, before jumping down from the third floor. To the bottom. I made sure to cast Silentium and levite to not make any sound after I landed.
The window was aimed towards the school, so all I had to do was head straight to it. I made sure to stay near the path, but at the same time, off of it, if any students pa.s.sed by, I might accidentally b.u.mp into them, even while I'm invisible
Better safe than sorry
As I followed the path back to the school, I detected, Serena and Ariel's location with deprehendre, They weren't at their dorms and seemed to be strolling around
I-I'm not spying on them, I'm just going to see if there's any problems...
Since they were on the direction of the school, then it should be fast. I can't be late or master will...
Just thinking about it gives me goose b.u.mps.
A minute later, I reached them. They were near a pond and were sitting on a bench, on a platform near it. The pond really looked beautiful at night
"This is a pretty good spot, it's also quiet." Said Ariel
"Yeah, for some reason I'm not feeling tired at all and I'm not in the mood to sleep" Said Serena
Lucky you... I have h.e.l.l waiting for me after this... I wish I could sleep...
"John was lost in thought today..." Said Ariel
"hmm? Yeah" Replied Serena
Why did the conversation suddenly s.h.i.+ft to me? Moreover I feel bad spying on them like this so I'll just go.
"hey Ariel, I've been meaning to ask but, you usually pay a lot of attention to john don't you?"
Hm? Maybe I'll just stay for a little longer...
Ariel hastily nodded with a proud expression
"Why do you look so proud..." Asked Serena
"Hehe..."
"Hey Ariel... What do you... Think about john?"
Hm...?!
"John... He can be brave but reckless... He's kind to others regardless of their status and doesn't treat them badly, he gave me a reason to live... john is like... the star? No... Sun? Hm... Either way, I really like john."
Eh?
Before I realised it, the moment she finished speaking, I ran, I ran as fast as I could, without making any sound, straight inside of the school
When I finally realised it, I stopped, I was right in front of the portal.
Why did run? Guilt? No, I felt guilty for listening over their conversation, but that's not why. Why am I so happy? Why do I feel like I just won the lottery? Calm down... Calm down...
"*Inhale* *Exhale*"
I Can't calm down at ALL!
Alright, I'll focus
-----------------------------------------------
"Ariel, you sure are amazing..." Said Serena a saddened smile on her face
"Eh? Serena, What's wrong?" Asked ariel as she got up and sat beside her
"You can express your true feelings and you understand them..."
"Serena... do you also-"
"I don't know..."
-------------------------------------------
"Master, what are we doing today?" I asked with a happy expression as I approached her in the fields
"? More offensive training, start warming up" She said with a confused expression
"Right away" I happily replied
I began to run around the field, for some reason I wasn't running out of any energy
"Stretches."
"Of course, of course"
"One two... One two... One two..."
"Push ups"
"Of course, of- course."
***
"999... 1000..."
I needed a break to catch my breath, My energy was starting to weaken
"Good"
"Um, master... What about the offensive training?" I asked
With a poker face, she just stared at me
"We'll start now."
"Okay!"
"Come at me, using the stance I taught you yesterday"
"Okay!"
I'm overflowing with energy, there's no way I can possibly-
***
"I-I give..."
Completely loss, I somehow managed to graze her, but that was it. I got beaten to a pulp.
While I stared at the stars in the sky, master extended her hand to me and naturally I grabbed it. In a single motioned she raised my entire body from the floor, as if I weighed as much as a feather.
"So...?" Said master with a curious expression
"So?" I repeated
"What happened?" She asked
"Y-You could tell that something happened?"
She nodded
"W-Well you see..."
There's no reason to hide it from master, and besides she told me about herself so...
My embara.s.sed expression changed into a calm smile as I stared at the sky
"Recently, I've started to see a friend as more than just a friend, or rather, both friends... But I didn't change the way I acted around them because I didn't want things to be awkward between us, before coming here, I heard something from one of them that made me really happy... But I don't know what to do... So I'm trying to distract myself with training..."
"So my training is a distraction?" Asked master with a cold look in her eyes
"Ah, no, I didn't mean it like that, it's more like, being here helps me calm down..."
Master who heard this stayed silent for a moment, and then she spoke up
"I don't know much since I've only ever had one boyfriend but... If you're thinking this deeply about them just tell them how you feel, girls like that."
"It's not that simple... If I end up as a couple with one, I feel like it'll change the relations.h.i.+p we have as a party..."
"Then why not both? If you all like each other what's the harm?"
Wh Having two cute angels for myself... That feels like a sin... But when I actually think about dating them for real, I get a strange warm feeling in my chest... So that's what this feeling was... I'm romantically attracted to them... I like Serena and Ariel. But...
"I'm not sure they'd like that..."
"You can't be so sure until you try."
But master, didn't you look like you were about to kill someone when I asked what would happen if your boyfriend dated someone else at the same time as you? Is what I want to ask, but I'd better not
"Alright, master. Thank you, I'll need more time to think about it, but I'm sure I'll eventually come up with an answer"
Master who heard this, patted my head and smiled as she said "Good luck"
As I got up to leave, she stopped me
"Where are you going?"
"Eh? Uhm, isn't training over for today?" I asked
With a creepy smile on her face she shook her head
N-No! S- HELP!!!
