It kept tempting her.

She might be able to get all the benefits, but she just had to live as a trophy.

She didn’t even know if she could do it.

Right now, it was so hard.

She really wanted to choose the easy way.

"I am......."

The moment Eisel opened her mouth to say something with her blank eyes.

Damn!!

Her head turned sideways.

‘...... Ah?'

She didn't understand the situation; her left eye was tingling, and it seemed that tears were welling up in them.

She raised her left hand and touched her cheek, only then did she feel the pain.

‘It hurts.’

‘Why?'

‘Who?’

When she turned her head, she saw a cute girl with short black hair gazing at her with an expressionless face. In contrast to her blank face, harsh words came out of her mouth.

“You piece of crap! Are you flirting with a man without me knowing after you said you would get along with me?”

“What, what?”

“You said you liked me! You said that back then! But now, now... are you going to abandon me?"

Aye, the girl even started to shed her own tears. Even then, she still had those emotionless eyes, so Eisel couldn't help but be embarrassed.

'Edna...?'

The name was written on the badge at her chest. She was a student from Class S whom she had encountered a few times.

“But...?"

She couldn't understand that situation, so she opened her mouth to ask.

However, before she could speak, Edna grabbed her wrist.

"Follow me! You talk to me!”

"Wait for a moment. Eisel is talking to me.”

“You stay out of it!”

As Edna groaned, Jeremy widened his eyes in great embarrassment.

After confirming everything was fine, Edna led Eisel out of the place.

It wasn't until after a long walk, when Jeremy was no longer in sight, that Eisel came to her senses.

“Wait, wait! What is it? What is this about?”

When she let go of her hand with a bang, then Edna looked back at her. Unlike before, this time, those eyes contained human emotions. It was kind of like a relieved expression.

“Phew. That was close.”

“So, what am I doing with you?”

"Ah, that? I just said it out of the blue to get out of there. If you refused without reason, you would probably be bullied until you die?”

“Thanks to that, until I graduate, I won’t even be able to date because I’ll have to pay attention to that son of a bitch.”

Edna gritted her teeth.

“No, I mean. Why did you do that?”

“Why? you know that too. Joining that kid's club would be suicidal. Life will be a little, a little better than it is now. But, is there any meaning to such a life? Do you want to live with your head bowed down under a barrage of curses all your life?”
