Because of the silent silence of the scene, Yulia could hear Filiena's familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice very clearly.

"Over there...... School Elder ...... and Naia-sama. ”

"Over there. Thanks—"

"Ah......h

Filiana, who turned her head this way, made eye contact with Yulia.

“！！！”

She subconsciously took two steps back.

Then he turned and ran.

"Miss Filiena!"

Yulia immediately stood up.

"Principal Vilian Academy, give me a little bit, I'm going out to chase her. ”

"Well, what we just said—"

"Yes. Okay, hurry up!"

"Huh?!"

Verian, with her mouth wide open, got up and moved out of the way.

"We've been begging for so long...... None of them worked...... Outcome...... Just because Filiana appeared, she casually agreed......"

Naia, who was on the side, also played with her fingers in amazement.

"That's it...... I'm very happy...... But why...... So irritable......"

And Kelly on the side also stood up. The cake had already been eaten, and she sighed as she looked at Yuria's back as she ran out.

"I said I wanted to go shopping together......"

Of course, Yulia didn't hear these words. As soon as Verian got up, he didn't hesitate to leave the table. The three who were left where they were could only see him trying his best to avoid the lively ladies and chase him in the direction where Filiena had fled.

――――

"Whew...... Call...... It is...... Here's ......."

There is a dead end in front of you.

Thankfully, Yulia forced Filiena into a narrow passage before she ran out of energy.

This is the lab floor that doesn't seem to be being used much. Yulia was tired and out of breath after running up, but fortunately, the only entrance and exit here was the staircase where Yulia was standing, and it was impossible for Filiana to escape.

After waiting for her breathing to calm down, Yulia slowly walked to the right room that Filiena had run to.

Open the door.

A pungent smell of medicine greeted you.

There were several long tables with various beakers, unidentified liquids, and pamphlets written in foreign languages. There's simply no place to hide here, there's no doubt about it.

Filiena was in the corner at the back of the classroom, her eyes wide and pressed against the corner. Watching Yulia get closer and closer, her movements were obviously a little flustered.

"No, don't go any further!"

Finally, as if she had torn through her long-held patience, she closed her eyes and shouted.

Yuria's heart seemed to be slammed into a slam by this sentence.

"Filiena ......"

"Don't call me by name!!"

Leaning against the corner, her eyes revealing a sense of distrust and fear that Yulia was unfamiliar with.

"Well, I'm here to ......"

"Get out!"

She stubbornly rejects any justification from Yulia.

Maybe she didn't want to listen.

Or maybe she didn't dare to listen.

"I won't trust your word anymore, Yulia!"

She twisted her cheeks and reached out to point straight at Yuria's head.

"No matter what you say, I won't believe it anymore! Are you happy to lie to me?! You already knew about the fear of men!"

“.................. Well. ”

Even though Yulia knew that he shouldn't tell the truth, he didn't want to lie to the girl in front of him who had been hurt by him.

Looking at Filiena, who treated herself like a beast of a flood, Yulia felt very uncomfortable.

Yet he had to stand here, trying to resist the urge to turn and run away.

Because this is definitely not a time to ignore the situation and let timidity grow.

Yulia had a hunch that if she didn't dispel her defenses at this point, it might take months or even years to heal her wounds when she returned to the mansion.

Therefore, I must not run away from it now.

Despite facing Filiena who was crying in grief.

"Sure enough...... you knew it from the beginning! You knew it...... That kind of thing...... Still...... Also ......"

"Wait a minute! I really didn't mean to deceive you!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Please believe me! If I knew that concealment would lead to this outcome, I would tell the truth!"

"I don't believe it! Get out! Go now! Get out of here!"

But he didn't move.

Not only that, but Yulia also took the initiative to approach Filiana.

In the back row of this lab, there is only one passage between the two long tables. The table used for the test was too high - meaning that it would be difficult for Filiana to escape from Yulia's presence.

"I said, don't come! Didn't you hear! You ......!"

Ignoring her threats, or rather not paying attention to her threats, Yulia had already walked to the table in the last row.

Even though the trembling Wind Discipline Inspector was only a few meters away from Yuria, Yulia felt as if the two of them had been separated by a galaxy.

"If you don't believe me...... That's okay......"

"Don't come close! I said it, don't come again!"

She screamed in panic.

Yulia had never seen Filiena so embarrassed. And he himself knew very well that in front of Filiena, who had a phobia of men, being so close was undoubtedly forcing her fiercely.

At this point, Yulia didn't plan to retreat.

He reached out and removed the hair ornament, then removed the wig in front of Filiena.

“......！”

Filiena ...... I'm sorry. I ......"

"Don't come again, don't come near me again!!"

Syllable.

The foreign language booklet was slammed hard by her. There was a pain in my cheek, but it was fine.

Yulia thought.

Yulia would rather be slapped hard by her than this painless inorganic.

"Just, even then, aren't you going to retreat?!Yuria!, I warn you!"

"You don't believe me...... It can't be helped. It's just that...... I just hope you don't have that look anymore...... I...... I have no ill intentions ......"

"Man...... None of the men are good!!I'm fed up!If that's the case, don't blame me for doing rough things!"

She picked up the beaker on the table next to her with both hands, which contained a clear, unidentified liquid. Because her hands were shaking violently, it would be quite easy to spill if she picked it up with one hand.

"If you don't want to be disfigured, leave now!!Leave me!Don't try to get close to me again!!"

“..................”

"Very, very good, that's all...... Leave obediently-"

I can't do it. ”

"You!!"

Not only did she ignore Filiana's warning, but Yulia even took two big steps forward.

The distance between the two had been reduced to just two chairs, and Yulia could clearly see tears rolling in Filiana's eyes.

Obviously, it was due to panic.

But at this time, Yulia couldn't care about that. At this moment, he was mentally prepared.

"Leave! I'll say it one last time! Leave! Leave now!"

"I don't want it!"

Bang -

Something hard shattered in front of his forehead. The liquid spilled out without reservation.

Ahead of her wet gaze, Yulia saw-

Filiena opened her mouth wide in panic, but she couldn't speak.

The tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally welled up, and two streams flowed along the bridge of her tall nose. (To be continued.) )
