Episode 114
I hardly slept on the day I was evacuated to the Academy.
Thanks to the consideration of the professors, I was able to get water, food, and warm blankets and stay in the western spire.
There was an old bed so I could sleep on it, but I couldnât get any sleep at all.
In the end, I stayed up all night looking at the maps I got from the professors.
It was in preparation for the situation in which we had to escape the Academy.
If I know the way to the place around the Academy, I can use teleportation.
âI wish there was a better way, but this is the best way.â
There was a possibility that we could not stay in the Academy until the end.
Even if fewer people were coming to the west spire, we would definitely be caught if we stayed here for a long time.
âBecause Iker has broadcast it nationally to offer me to him.â
There was no guarantee that all the Academy students would be on my side.
Therefore, it was highly likely that we would have to leave this place on a day when someone caught us.
âYerine, wouldnât it be better for you to sleep now?â
Cassius opened his mouth carefully.
âAt least itâs safe now, so I think itâll be okay.â
Even Cassius, who says so, did not sleep at night.
I also told him that he could sleep if he wanted to, but he refused, saying that he also couldnât sleep well.
âBut Iâm sure itâs the same for everyone who canât fall asleep in this situation.â
For more,
âNo, itâs not like that.â
Maybe it was not to Erica, but it was a word I said to myself.
When Erica wiped away her tears, Cassius, who was staring at the floor with a mixed face, and Professor Fraine, who was biting her lips with a sad expression, caught my eyes.
And the guy with the silver hair.
ââ¦â¦.â
When our eyes met for the first time, Eugene couldnât say anything.
Unlike other children, he wasnât even crying.
With his trembling blue eyes, he just looked at me.
âEugene.â
I called out his name and reached out my hand.
Eugeneâs eyes turned to my hand.
He took turns looking at my hands and face several times.
As if my hands were a marvellous creature.
And carefully held my hand.
ââ¦â¦.â
His hands were cold.
Looks like heâs been standing outside for a long time.
âYerine.â
As soon as I raised my head, his eyes were looking at me like a blue wave.
And as the blue waves surrounded my body, Eugene rushed to me and hugged me tightly.
âYerineâ¦â¦â
It was a trembling voice.
It was the second time he called me by name, not by my last name.
