TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 9
The
Arcazam Library, where books from all over the
continent are collected.
In
a corner of this library, a girl was devoting herself to reading.
Her
blue hair, reminiscent of the sky, swayed in the breeze from the slightly open
window, and her beautiful face remained motionless, like a doll, while her eyes
continued to follow the words in the book in her hands.
Her
pointed ears that poked out from the gaps in her long blue hair showed that she
was an elf who had received the blessing of the spirits.
“…………
Haa”
The
girl, Shīna Yuliel, who had been devoting herself to reading the book in her
hands, suddenly sighed and dropped her shoulders heavily.
She
frowned and let her gaze drift in the air as if something was bothering her.
She turned her attention to the book in her hands again, but this time she
stared at the open page while frowning.
"Argh,
gosh. I can't concentrate at all."
Putting
the book she was reading on the desk, Shīna sighed loudly again and looked up
at the ceiling of the library.
An
unfamiliar feeling swirled in the depth of her chest. She was confused by the
urge to run away at any moment.
"What
is wrong with me?"
Shīna
muttered in a small voice so that it would not be heard by others.
She
thought that the urge in her chest would subside a little if she could speak up
her mind, but contrary to her expectations, the urge grew louder.
It
reminded her of an event at lunchtime today.
She
was having lunch with the others when Nozomu accepted Irisdina's request.
Irisdina
was a little nervous as she asked Nozomu for a favor, and Nozomu was at a loss
for words but agreed.
Irisdina
looked nervous, which was not like her usual self, but her smile when he agreed
was so beautiful that even Shīna, who was also a woman, couldn't help but be
fascinated by it. And Nozomu was also fascinated by her.
"What's
up with him. It was just a request, why is he looked so..."
Remembering
Nozomu who was infatuated with Irisdina, she felt a surge of indignation.
However, the feeling in her chest that had risen like a geyser quickly subsided
and was replaced by an inexplicable regret. This was because she had also been
invited to take part in the request, but had turned it down.
At
that time, Feo interrupted Nozomu and Irisdina. Shīna could tell from the grin
on his face that he was planning something again. As a young man of the fox
tribe who got involved in various things just for the fun of it, it was no
surprise that he wanted to join too this time.
However,
he immediately invited Shīna to join him. The grin on his face clearly told her
that he was thinking of something terrible, so Shīna refused the invitation.
"Sigh~,
why did I refuse..."
After
all, it was her choice to be here, but even so, Shīna couldn't help but frown
at the unpleasant feeling that was spreading deep in her chest.
At
that moment, Shīna's ears heard the voice of a woman she had been hearing a lot
lately.
