My Childhood Friend Who Dumped Me and My Ex-girlfriend Are in the Same Class

#7

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.

In front of the auditorium, where we barely arrived, we saw the senior students of the student council waiting for us.

As I bowed my head moderately, showed my student ID, and entered, it was a magnificent hall.

Behind the heavy door is a vast space that cannot be seen at a glance.

Beneath the distant ceiling, which is visible only when you tilt your head almost vertically, a dazzling and beautiful chandelier brightly illuminates the interior of the hall.

The number of seats installed at an angle far exceeded the number of people inside the hall.

The students who entered were sitting on the assigned seats and talking with the friends next to them with their voices being silenced, or it seemed like they were just waiting for the entrance ceremony to start.

I headed to the seat that the senior had given me in advance.

There is a popping sound.

A few students turned around at the sound of footsteps, then turned their gaze back to normal. Whether it is the best talent in the empire, everyone feels an unusual atmosphere.

-chin.

I sat down not far from the podium in front of me. … … I’m a little nervous. It really feels like something is about to start right.

I see people sitting here and there on the seats on the 2nd and 3rd floors inside the hall. These are the distinguished guests invited to the entrance ceremony.

The Duke of the Empire, the Count, the King of the Principality, the Grand Duke of the Principality… There were a lot of tall people. very many

For some reason, there are more distinguished guests than freshmen entering the school. what is this

That was then.

“—Our daughter! It’s here! here!”

While I was rubbing my palms, which were starting to sweat, suddenly a loud cheer erupted from the second-floor seats.

“Wow, my daughter! Mom believed! Well done!”

“Whew! Our daughter is the best! It shines even from afar! Dad and Mom are the proudest Yuri in the world!”

murmur murmur.

Everyone at the scene looked back.

“Ah ah ah ah ah… … ”

There was a human blush. His ears are so red that he can’t even say anything.

“Ah, uh, ji, really… … ! I don’t know now… … !”

The blond kid, who had been shaking his hands and shoulders, finally drooped as if he had put everything down.

He puts his forehead on his wrist, shakes his head, and walks to the seat like a zombie.

Well.

… … I won’t make fun of you next time.

So, me and the blonde kid finished the entrance.

Let’s just stare at the back of the head of the girl who was roughly three squares in front of me.

Finally, it was 10 o’clock, when the entrance ceremony began.

… … By the way.

Some of the student council seniors, who were standing in various places in the hall, talking and discussing something.

noisily.

I wondered why… …

Looks like no one has come yet.

It really is. There were fourteen students sitting in the seats, including myself.

I thought that blonde kid and I were the last, but there must have been a freshman who was late from the entrance ceremony.

Either there is an unavoidable circumstance, or it has a sloppy personality. Everyone who enters the Epic class said that they were all just weird kids, well.

Perhaps long after the entrance ceremony begins, they may barely attend, or they may not appear at all… that’s gone too far

It was about 5 more minutes.

– Ahh. There will be instructions for a moment.

A voice amplified by magic reverberates inside the hall.

— The event has been delayed for a while because one freshman hasn’t arrived yet. We apologize for the inconvenience to our distinguished guests.

The student council seniors thought that it was too much to delay the entire schedule because of one student as it was because of the tight schedule of the VIPs, so after a brief discussion with each other, they tried to start the entrance ceremony.

— As it is judged that any further delay is unreasonable, from now on, the 61st Imperial Frontier Academy regular Epic Class entrance ceremony will be held… …

At that moment.

Bump—!

“Sorry, I’m sorry… ! I’m here… … !”

A voice mingled with suffocating breath echoed from behind.

The timing is really good.

The student council senior, who was about to start the event, was startled and withdrew for a moment.

Then he glances at the freshman who has just come in and beckons him to come quickly and sit down.

“Heh… hehe… Sorry, the train, heh… Got it wrong… I’m sorry for the road, I’m confused, heh, I’m late… … ”

He was a smarter person than I thought.

Have you misunderstood the route? It might be.

This is a surprisingly common mistake. People who don’t live in the Empire usually have never been on a train.

Anyway, as soon as the door opened, everyone looked back reflexively, just like the blonde kid, and that was the case with me.

… … My head is hardened.

It was as if he had been afflicted with high-ranking petrification magic.

There was a girl in a white uniform who was shy and ran to the seat, covering her face with both hands.

After taking a seat, he walks around with his head bowed towards the seniors in the student council with a haggard smile.

Up to that point, I guess he’s just a dumb friend—

I thought it would have been the end.

In my still complicated mind, the girl’s pale pink hair color caught my eye.

Although the texture was slightly different from the wavy smile of someone in my memory, his characteristic mouth and eyebrows did not change at all.

The face with a smile as lively as a flower in full bloom seems to be drawing an unnatural smile that doesn’t fit well with the cheeks slightly dented than before.

It was a little late to realize, though.

Naturally, I put her name in my mouth.

“… … Rubia?”

#8

a childhood friend

If there was anything to be said about her, what would it be?

Once you start arranging it, there will be no end.

What kind of person Rubia is to me.

Even if he spent hundreds of nights counting the stars, he would not be able to recall all of his bitter memories with Rubia.

… … Yes, bitter memories.

There is such a thing.

If there are happy memories that make you burst out laughing when you suddenly think of it.

There are memories, not memories, that make your heart ache and make you smile bitterly just by passing through your mind for a moment.

Both are the same but different.

What they have in common is that they were happy once in the past.

The difference is whether or not the object I recall is still with me… … There, the boundary between memory and memory is drawn.

Rubia was not by my side now.

So it was a bittersweet memory.

Because the memory has been diluted over time.

Just thinking about it for a moment is nothing.

If I erase Rubia’s existence from my life in the first place, that would be the same as killing myself.

I hate suicide. Rubia will be sad.

Rubia will also want me not to forget her. I did too. I hope Rubia remembers me.

So, from when on, the two of us became a relationship that we will never forget each other until the day we die.

Rubia and I have known each other since we were eight years old.

When you are bored with nothing to do while lying on the hardwood floor in summer, when you want to make a snowman while looking at the snow piled up in the winter, the first person that comes to mind is the first thing that comes to mind… … It was each other.

We couldn’t be so happy when we were together.

It was said that when we were together, what was so fun, the smile did not leave his bright face.

Because it was.

They said that when we were apart, we quickly became depressed.

So, I didn’t want to feel anxious and depressed, so I wanted to meet them even one day sooner.

Rubia and I when we were young.

In that cramped country academy, they kept sticking around.

We were teased like children of that age, but we were not ashamed. Come to think of it, Rubia must have been a little shy. First off I wasn’t If you twist, you guys will join in and play together. It was such a position.

In fact, they were really trying to get in between us, so we secretly kicked some of them out.

Don’t call it narrow-minded jealousy. Rubia also said that it was more enjoyable to be with me, but when the kids approached it, it was difficult.

I was a noble in name only.

what should i say about this You could simply call it the Fallen Nobility. The only son of Baron Kranil of the Solar Empire, Ezio Kranil. That was me.

There was no great interest in family genealogy.

This is because there is nothing more ugly than touting the glory of the past established by others as if it were your own.

Anyway, the family had no money.

Because of this, he could not attend a good academy like other nobles. When I was born, it seems that I was still richer than the common people, but when I was eight years old, I realized that I had moved to a remote country estate.

“… … ”

I still have vivid memories of seeing a hut-like house built on a wide meadow and being bruised.

It was there that he entered the Academy Elementary School.

How many former students are there? There wouldn’t have been a hundred.

As a child, the academy I attended was a rural academy that barely passed the crisis of closure with subsidies, and it would not be strange even if it collapsed and crumbled.

Before entering the academy, I met Rubia for the first time.

what do i say… …

because I was young

Because puberty was about to come, and he was a little kid.

Even if the surname is attached to the back of the first name… … Still, it was because he was the only son of a noble family.

However, he was ashamed of himself because he was a noble as well as a fallen aristocrat.

I didn’t like the fact that I was living in a much smaller house than before. It seems that he had a grunt mixed with dissatisfaction, but after being hit by his father several times, his mouth went in.

Even so, I was still ashamed and saddened by my situation, so whenever I left the house to contemplate in the name of taking a walk, I sighed as the ground went down.

“… … Ehehe, I will go!”

like that next door to me.

In a house smaller and shabby than me.

I saw a girl my age waving to her parents with a bright smile and going out to play with a fruit basket in her side.

… … I thought it was shiny.

Well, because it’s commonplace.

Since I was a child, I’ve been living in a rural area like this, so it’s only natural. The environment I lived in would have been completely different. He hid his envy for being able to laugh like that while showing his absurd pride.

What I was thinking about that day was something like this:

Are all commoners like that?

Is living in a house like that just accepted as such a natural flow?

Is that so?

Me too, someday… … Will I be able to leave the house with a bright smile without worrying about anything like that?

Accepting this small, shabby hut as completely mine… …

… … I don’t like that.

Why, well.

My parents didn’t seem to care much about their downfall. On the contrary, he seemed to be happier than before. Did you have enough money?

Even though their family had collapsed, they became a noble in name only, and now they have become such a shameful family that they can’t even take a step in the social hall, but they quickly adapted to life here.

Gradually widening the relationship with a terrifying affinity.

Neighbors, friends, and arbitrarily.

And, they brought their daughter to me.

It was the girl I saw then.

“This is Rubia. I’m the kid next door to you, how about you? Isn’t it so cute? Attention is also very good. … … Come on, Ezio. I have to say hi.”

Why?

My face was so hot that I couldn’t make eye contact.

On the other hand.

The girl… …

I greet you without being shy, with a bright smile without a single speck of what I saw back then.

“Hello, Ezio! i am rubia Shall we be friends?”

… … That smile.

i was good

I can’t forget the smile that appeared on that face.

No matter how different the nature of her bright smile, I was convinced of her true identity.

… … no doubt

Rubia sat on the seat and continued to stare blankly at the messy uniforms with her hands squeezing them together.

The identity of the girl, presumed to be Mu, is still unknown. However, Rubia was able to recognize it as clearly as possible.

… … this is it, What’s going on?

Someone tapped my shoulder, which had hardened due to an indescribable shock, and vibrated it lightly.

“Baby, can you reveal the girl? huh? If you stare at it with such a piercing gaze, isn’t it inconvenient?”

“… … !”

The spirit that had run away suddenly returned.

Looking to the side, there was a green-haired man with a slightly frivolous impression. He was a freshman like me.

… … If he hadn’t paid attention, I might have stood up without realizing it. I sighed, feeling grateful from the bottom of my heart.

“… … oh Was I watching too much? greatness. It’s not like that. I just looked at it to see if it was someone I knew.”

“Ugh. right-?”

The man laughed in a way that he did not believe it at all.

“It’s pretty. Nice to meet you first I am Gabriel Lamanika. Where is it, I came to study in a country I don’t know. Best wishes in the future.”

“… uh. This is Ezio Cranil. Nice to meet you too.”

at that time.

From the front, there seemed to be a big uproar.

… … Is it your mood?

That’s it.

I felt a deep gaze from before.

“… … Ohh?”

Gabriel gave an interesting look.

Since it’s a strong signal from somewhere, the blond kid I had messed up my hair a lot was glaring at me.

Gabriel pats me on the shoulder.

“Hey, Ezio. Did you see he’s interested in you? is not it? I go? Is that girl looking at us?”

“… … Probably because of me.”

“What? really? Hey, you’ve already seduced a girl just because you’re pretty… … ”

“Because that’s not it. once shh The old man sees it.”

The eyes of the student council senior are facing this direction.

Adherence is good, but he talks too much and his voice is unnecessarily loud. Gabriel smiled as if he knew what I was saying and sat back upright.

– Ahhh.

A voice amplified with magical power hum and spread out inside the hall, which had ceased to be a commotion.

— New students and distinguished guests who participated in this event. You’ve been waiting a long time. From now on, let’s start the entrance ceremony for the regular Epic Class of the 61st Imperial Frontier Academy.

Clap clap clap… …

A thunderous applause fills the hall.

While a certain student council senior offered a formal greeting on behalf of the absent dean, I had no choice but to desperately stop the sigh that was about to come out of my mouth.
