Chapter 42 (A Girl Being Loved by G.o.d)

"Oi ! is that ?!"

"You know, the one who"s being talked about..."

"But, her invitation being rejected, right ? and yet, why they hold hands ?"

"At any rate, how enviable... if only I know forbidden spell..."

"It"s not that easy, that"s why, Cecil-sama were so interested in him you know ?"

"But, seriously, no matter how many times I see it, she"s really beautiful... furthermore, she"s strong and smart... certainly, a girl who"s being loved by the G.o.d eh..."

Those are the words which I"d heard when walking pa.s.s the corridor.

That shows how much attention the people gives toward Cecil Arclight, a center of public attention.

I looked at Cecil-san who currently opened the basket next to me.

".........................."

Well... if it"s this person, then I can understand as to why she always becomes public attention.

Right now I sat on the edge of water fountain together with Cecil-san.

Because the surrounding is being surrounded by thick trees, furthermore the branches and leaves bend over which takes the form of roof covering the fountain, it is hard for the surrounding people to see this place unless they come closer.

What inside of it are lightly toasted slices of breads with meat, cheese, and tomatoes as it fillings.

"Eh ?... is that means... these are Cecil-san handmade ?"

"I see, so you"re able to cook..."

Cecil-san then hands me the herbal tea which being poured to the flask lid part.

And eat another sandwich again.

This herbal tea... and this sandwiches are superb.

or rather, I ate up the sandwiches that being offered in no time.

"I had almost eaten them all but, is it really alright ?"

After all, Cecil-san had only eaten two of them.

"Yes, after all, I"m someone who doesn"t eat much."

Cecil-san said so, and drinks the herbal tea with both hands holding the flask lid elegantly.

After some time had pa.s.sed, Cecil-san put the empty flask lid which being held by her hands on her knee, and start the conversation...

"Though this might be a slightly impolite question... may I ask you something ?"

"Then..."

Cecil-san long eyelashes are turned down slowly.

"Why do you want to pair up with Kyurie Velstein ?"

"You feel a strong attraction toward her... something like that?"

"Cecil-san... the reason why you want to have a good relation with me is because you found out the value of the forbidden spell right ?"

Hearing that, Cecil-san pulls away her body and put her index finger on her thin pink lips.

Previously, Zix-san had mentioned about that briefly, its just that I only want to hear it from the person herself.

"Its justー"

Cecil-san then looked at me with a sidelong glance.

... that eyes, I"d seen it several times.

Those eyes feel very mysterious and captivating... however, somewhere I feel something dangerous are keep hidden.

"Now, just a little... I feel an interest toward the individual called Sagara Kurohiko."

"Indeed..."

Feeling overwhelmed, I unintentionally bent my body back.

And before I"m unable to regain my composure, Cecil-san is already returned her posture.

"Let see..."

I answer her question after I thought about it a little.

"Holding an extraordinary beauty... furthermore being strong, smart, and blessed with talent... a perfect person... I guess that kind of impression ?"

"If what I"d said hurt your feeling, I"m sorry."

"......................."

"Is that really true ?"

If I"m not wrong, I"d heard it during liberal art lecture.

"If I"m not wrong, it"s level 29 ?... is that mean ?"

"I-I"m sorry..."

I cautiously respond her handshake.

"You don"t have to be that cautious you know, it"s not like I"m going to eat you or anything like that~."

Cecil-san smiled while saying such a joke, however... it"s not like I hesitate or anything.

"He ?"

"Yes ?"

"Yes, what" about it ?"

"Ah, are you worried about that ? fufufu, you don"t have to mind it, it"s alright you know ?"

"??"

The words that Cecil-san said the day before yesterday night appeared in my mind.

When she said 『my ideal』, if that is also included then...

I don"t know if it"s alright for me to say this, howeverー

"I might be not in the place to say this but... I"m a little worried about you..."

"Cecil-san is like a fragile gla.s.swork being put on a stand with dangerous balance... that is what I feel."

"However, even though no one suggests changing the stand with a different stand, it"s only thinking about satisfying those who see... fixedly, fulfilling the role of a beautiful gla.s.swork in silent... that is how I see it."

"That"s why, if I can support that stand then it would be good... even if the stand can be changed, rather than changing it, I choose to support it..."

"It might be difficult, but if you want to do join exploration, please don"t be reserved and say it. of course, even if it"s only for the forbidden spell, it"s alright..."

An unpleasant sweat comes out after finished saying it.

In a panic, I try to dish it up with cheerful words.

"I-I"m sorry to say something strange like that ! Haha, what am I saying,seriously !"

Her delicate shoulder and slender feminine line figure really stand out.

However, I"m unable to see her expression.

Just now, I might offend her feeling...

The words that Cecil-san left behind with small voice is,

"This is troubling ne~, Kurohiko... if you said such words thenー it makes me want to have you more you know ?"

..........................................

After the lunch break is over, next is a magic art lesson.

When everyone going outdoor to the place where I fight the Cyclops and make sounds such as thunderbolt, I"m reading a book alone inside...

"........................"

Well, knowledge is important anyway, even Kyurie-san said that.

However, because Cecil-san difficulty toward Kyurie-san... they give the feeling of restraining each other, thus they never talk to me during cla.s.s, rather it makes my lonely feeling stronger.

That Aira-san with lively tone said,

Thus she pats my back while cheering me up.

I went to the library after informing Kyurie-san about it.

It is not part of this building, however, it is being linked to this building with a pa.s.sage with a roof.

Then a high ceiling library spread in front of my view.

The light that comes out from the half circle ball is different than the blueish color that comes out from the crystal, the light that comes out has an orange color.

Somehow, it gives the feeling of a cla.s.sic cafe where a bookworm gather.

The reason why I feel this place is like a cafe is, there"s a certain noise that gives such impression.

Right...

If I"m not wrong, the place to read is located underground ?

Immediately I go toward the counter-like place. and tell them that I"ve come here to meet Claris-san.

Claris-san is currently in the underground special reading room.

I thanked the person then goes toward the special reading room that the person had told me.

Personal Impression :

well, that aside, I can sympathize with her, you know those feeling ? when all your hard work only being regarded only as "talent" or "a gift"... and those people rather than trying to achieve the same thing via hard work, they just give up by saying "well I don"t have the talent for it"...d.a.m.n it ! I know your feeling Cecil-san...QAQ

->Overall : at first I thought all the character are quite shallow... turn out it is quite deep... when I think about it for a bit.
