chapter 5
5 – Lucy Bellemail (2)
Turb ─ turd ─
Someone’s footsteps were heard in the incineration plant, where only the giggles of the bullies existed.
The footsteps that seemed to be mixed with anger or murderous intent were different from those of hunters who quietly approached and snatched their prey.
As if you are confident. There seems to be a reason why the prey should not run away here. It was such an arrogant step.
The bullies, who were in a position where there was nothing good to be discovered as they were subjecting them to personal sanctions, turned their heads in the direction of the sound in amazement.
And then his face turned blue.
“Adele?”
It was Adele who walked out of the incinerator where no one was supposed to be.
Maybe it’s because it’s a shady place. Is it because he is looking up at him with his imposing tall stature? His face was terribly dark.
In the darkness, the eyes that stood out were looking down at them. The pupils seemed to be trying to hide their emotions, but the fury like a raging wind was not easily hidden.
His gaze is heavy.
His presence was as if the gravity of this place had become stronger, and it had such a power that it naturally lowered the gaze to the ground.
“What?”
Time seems to have stopped now.
“Are you doing it?”
A cool tone resounded in the silence as if words would kill people.
“Adele…… ?”
What responded to that voice was Lucy, who lowered her head in pain, not the bully who had stopped as if her body had frozen.
“No way, no way this… ….”
As soon as she saw Adele, she had an idea.
Adele, who was usually impatient with her Kyle, did this to break her spirit, which she used to treat Kyle with.
Those who looked like bullies deliberately shared Kyle’s fists with Adele at Adele’s order, and said that they used that as an excuse to blackmail them.
He didn’t forget what happened this morning and appeared here now.
“You are the devil…… ?”
Lucy poured out her emotions through her tears, through her rough breathing.
It was anger, hatred, and resentment for what Lucy had suffered up to this point that Adele didn’t know about.
“What on earth did we do so badly to be so mean! You bastard!”
But whether Lucy did it or not, Adele just gave her Lucy a killer look at the guys holding her back.
The bullies who couldn’t overcome their gaze freed Lucy, and Lucy, who had been forcibly standing up, sat down on the ground.
I tried to stand up, but my legs were shaking like a newborn giraffe. She
She tried again and again, but she only made her own situation worse.
“Did you not hear what I said?”
And Adele, who glanced at her like that and didn’t even look at her after that, made her even more miserable.
“What were you doing?” She asked.
The arches exchanged glances among themselves.
She thought that Adele couldn’t remember their faces, but she thought she would run away.
“Don’t even think about running away.”
It was almost as if his voice was gripping their feet like the grip of a dead man.
No, it wasn’t an illusion.
I don’t know what kind of magic it was, but the soil that rose up was really holding their ankles like a hand.
“I know all of your faces and names. So stop messing around and don’t make me ask again.”
One of the trembling bullies finally opened his mouth.
The male student who led this incident stared at him, but now that there is a stronger person, his gaze was meaningless.
“The guy he goes with beats us to get his revenge… ….”
“Revenge?”
At those words, Adele, who touched the evil and raised a bloodline around her neck like a defeated dragon, swung her fist.
The fist hit Yangachi’s face directly, and Yangachi’s head turned at a right angle.
Blood pooled on his lips as his flesh burst.
“Will you take revenge on me now?”
“… ….”
Yangachi shut his mouth.
If you put the word revenge on the child of the Heights family, whose fame, strength, and level are different, your family will be turned upside down.
Although it was within the academy, regardless of status, even taking that into account, the Heitz family’s grip was at a level that could extend within this academy, so if they said anything nonsensical, it was literally death.
“Why don’t you answer me? Are you a dumb asshole?”
“…… No.”
“Know the subject. b*tches like you are, after all, worms who can’t open their mouths properly in front of me.”
Adele grabbed the archer’s head and lifted it up as he bowed his head.
At the sight of his bloody eyes, Yangachi’s pupils crawled on the ground like insects.
“I don’t feel good when those bugs are out there. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I understand… ….”
“If you understand, get out of sight.”
With Adele’s permission, they left the incinerator with their heads bowed politely, not like a bully who had heard such a severe insult.
“… ….”
Lucy, who was watching the whole scene, couldn’t understand the situation.
Adele, whom she thought was black, made the bullies who bullied her back.
I almost mistakenly thought that his anger was for himself.
It was to the point where he doubted that his head was his own.
I’m out of my mind…….
“Could it happen?”
Adele knelt down on one knee and met Lucy’s gaze as she smeared dirt on those fancy trousers.
“What are you?”
After stopping her tears, Lucy asked, curling up his fingers on the ground.
“Why are you being unkind to me?”
Doubting that Adele may have other intentions.
“What else are you going to do… ….”
“There is no such thing as a trick.”
He dismissed Lucy, cutting her off.
“I know what you think of me, but as a human being, I just do the obvious.”
It’s a very obvious thing to say, but it wasn’t natural for Adele to do it.
Lucy still couldn’t trust Adele, but it was dangerous to be in this state where no one would come, and she didn’t budge as if her body wasn’t her own, so she answered quietly.
“…… I can’t move.”
“I see. Then I’ll just take you to the infirmary.”
Adele carefully lifted Lucy up with her arms supporting her hamstrings and back.
He felt terribly resentful and humiliated at being helped by Adele, but Lucy stayed calm because he knew that it would be unreasonable for him to express those feelings now.
“… ….”
“… ….”
Only awkward silence flowed between Adele and Lucy, who were not even friendly and in some ways were enemies.
Neither of them had any intention of breaking the silence first, so this atmosphere would be maintained until they reached the infirmary.
Since she didn’t say anything, Lucy’s nerves naturally focused on unfamiliar stimuli.
An arm with protruding veins supporting the hamstrings and arms.
Fingers touching thighs and sides.
Adele’s breasts pressed against the side of her body while holding her.
For example, my breath is synchronized with his steps.
For Lucy, who had no experience of being embraced by an extramarital man, it was something she couldn’t help but care about.
‘Never mind…… Opponent is Adele…….’
While repeating that, I tried to give her a command to get out of her head, but as the saying goes, the brain doesn’t know infidelity, it only reminded me of them more.
Eventually, Lucy admitted that clearing her head was impossible, and did not try to suppress the welling thoughts.
Then, strangely, she felt the warmth and coziness in Adele’s arms, whom she would not normally have wanted to see.
‘Well, it’s only natural since he’s a human.’
I thought he was a cold-blooded man with ice floating in his veins, but these are just words to express his personality.
It is natural for a human being to have a warm body.
And isn’t there something else like that?
Cats are said to have been carried by their mothers by the scruff of their necks when they were kittens, and even as adults, if they hold on to her scruffs, they become calm.
This is also a similar phenomenon.
You must have been hugged by your mother many times when you were a baby, so being hugged by people must be a trigger that makes you feel the inherent warmth of growing up.
Considering that, it wasn’t strange to feel warmth and coziness from Adele.
This had nothing to do with his feelings.
“I have arrived.”
While thinking that, Adele’s steps stopped.
I arrived at the infirmary before I knew it.
A medical room where you can feel the smell of medicine and the warmth of the sun as soon as you step in.
It is also a very quiet place for the comfort of patients.
So, I thought it was quiet…….
“Is anyone there?”
There was no one to welcome him because he had no intention of being in the infirmary.
“Just put it on the bed. You’re not seriously hurt, but you’ll be fine when you wake up.”
“Maybe it’s because he’s an uneducated commoner, so he doesn’t have any sense of hygiene.”
“What?”
“Since he was sitting in that filthy place with his wounded body, he could have been infected.”
After sitting Lucy in the chair, Adele rummaged through the drawers and came back with disinfectant in a red bottle and cotton swabs.
Lucy was rather taken aback by the act, as if she were going to treat her herself.
Something that Adele would never do.
Only the way they talk is similar, but inside they are completely different people.
‘No. Am I crazy?’
Lucy shook her head, as if that thought would lead to acknowledging the difference between Adele and her that she had seen so far and feeling grateful to him.
No, it’s right to be grateful, but what Adele is doing now is to compensate for her usual bad deeds…… Same thing.
Anyway, it was natural for him to receive it, not the favor.
Since you hurt that much, isn’t it natural to give him medicine?
“Ugh…… !”
As he thought about it over and over again, he felt a sting on his skinned knee and frowned.
“Do you have any other sore spots?”
Adele skillfully finished the disinfection and put the medicine back in place.
“No.”
Lucy shook her head, thinking that she wished she could have helped as much as this.
“No, there’s no way there isn’t.”
He was reckless.
He didn’t listen to people before, but this time he didn’t listen in a slightly different way.
“Outward wounds are easy to recognize, but internal wounds are difficult to notice. So be honest with yourself about how you feel so the doctor can tell.”
“You are not a doctor.”
“It’s not for me to know. It is to inform the doctor.”
Adele pushed Lucy, holding a piece of paper and a pen, asking her to quickly recite the sore spot.
With that attitude, Lucy had no choice but to explain in detail about the pain spreading throughout her body.
She was about to quietly leave her infirmary after Adele made sure that Lucy was asleep with a soft sound, and put up the notes she had taken so far where they could be seen.
“Lucy!”
Her infirmary door slams open, and her Lucy’s childhood friend, Kyle, walks in calling out to her.
“Adele, you bastard…… !”
As she was about to leave, she spotted Adele and rushed at her like a mad dog, grabbing him by the collar.
