“——That’s all I can say.”
The professor stopped talking and didn't look at Lily again.
Silently ordered to leave.
Lily stood up.
Just before leaving, a faint hoarse murmur came from the room along with the wind.
"I really want to leave here."
The petals of the bouquet on the bedside table trembled slightly in the wind blowing in from the window.
The professor's hunched figure was facing the light.
No expression can be seen on the face turned away.
130. Waves and tiny dewdrops
Lily said hello to Moira and walked out of the building alone.
Some people hurried past her, but they didn't even look at Lily. They walked past her and entered the building.
Although there were still little beastmen waiting for Lily, Lily was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he was walking on the road in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.
"Meow."
There was a soft cry from below.
Lily then felt an itch near her leg again.
Looking down, I spotted a familiar little orange figure.
"……butter?"
Lily was a little surprised.
Lily and the cat have been together for a long time. Now they are even familiar with each other.
At least Lily could guarantee that she wouldn't mistake the cat.
The kitten scratched Lily's calf again.
"Do you still want to come up?"
Lily froze in place for a moment, then saw the kitten take two steps not far away.
Does that mean you want Lily to follow?
Lily followed the kitten.
The kitten would look back every two steps, as if worried whether Lily could keep up.
"Meow."
After a final shout, Lily saw Butter jump to the girl in front in two or three steps.
"Nina?"
Nina sat against the side wall of the tall stairs with her back to Lily.
Left side down, right side up.
She seemed surprised by Butter's return and rubbed the kitten's head.
Only then did Lily notice the wet marks on Nina's clothes.
That is……?
As if she heard footsteps behind her, Nina turned her head and saw a black-haired little girl suddenly appear behind her.
"It's Lily." Nina smiled brightly: "Why are you here?..."
Lily pointed at the kitten.
The kitten walked over to Lily's legs and rubbed against them again.
"Did Butter bring you here?..."
Lily nodded and sat down next to Nina on her left.
She tilted her head and looked at Nina.
Why did this kitten bring Lily here?
Nina's smile remained the same as always.
There were just wet marks all over the school uniform.
"…Bullying again?"
Lily asked.
Nina's original smile dimmed slightly.
She lowered her head.
Lily raised her hand to comfort Nina, but it was difficult because she was sitting at the bottom of the steps. She stood up, walked around Nina, walked to her right, and touched Nina's little head.
Nina laughed twice at Lily's action as if she found it interesting.
The two of them were silent for a while. Then Nina asked:
"Um, Lily. ...Do you know how to avoid being bullied?"
Of course Lily didn't know the answer.
So there is no answer.
After all, with Lily's experience, it is far from enough to exhaust all the appearances of human beings.
No amount of curiosity could make up for it.
"Coco told me that all I have to do is become stronger... but how can I become stronger?"
Nina asked questions one after another, but her eyes were fixed on the sky:
"I have already done my best just to be able to enter this university. I am getting stronger, and they are getting stronger too. I can become stronger than all of them...but there are more and more of them."
This is an ocean of humanity.
The dew cannot resist the waves.
Lily vaguely sensed the girl's situation.
"That……"
Lily was about to reach out, but stopped herself.
She suddenly remembered that she would be leaving here in two days.
Had to leave from here too.
Lily really wanted to help the girl.
But it's hard for Lily, who doesn't belong here.
Nina finished speaking and suddenly stretched:
"I was eliminated from the competition just now... I couldn't help it. Those nobles always stick together, and seven points from them is the limit. Ah, not only was I eliminated, but I was also accidentally doused with magic... Since I have no offensive power, it doesn't count as a foul. Warning them once is good enough for me."
She jumped down the stairs and waved to Lily.
"I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. Take good care of Butter. He likes you very much."
Nina walked quickly and disappeared quickly.
Lily sat there for a while.
I could feel the wind blowing through the trees, bringing a different sound.
"can I help you?"
Lily asked in a childish voice.
There was a rustling sound on the grass at the corner. After a while, a girl appeared.
She seemed to have been there for a long time, but she just hid in the corner, secretly watching Nina, and did not talk to her.
Lily had already noticed the girl hiding in the corner.
Only when she showed her full appearance did Lily vaguely remember that they seemed to have met before.
That day, Lily took Nina, who had just skipped class because of bullying, to see Coco.
On the way, Coco taught her classmates a lesson.
Then the three of them were stopped by two girls who suddenly appeared and asked Coco to join them.
And the girl who appeared now is one of them.
"Ahahaha..." The girl scratched her head:
"How did you find out?"
"Feeling, huh."
"Feeling?...Okay, I won't ask. Let me make it clear first, I didn't follow her on my own initiative...I just hid out of habit..."
Lily shook her head.
"Ah, that, that..."
The girl took small steps closer to the petite girl sitting on the steps.
The closer she got, the cuter she felt the girl in front of her was... This was probably the most stunning thing this girl had ever seen in her life.
Even this girl had some little thoughts of secretly pinching the little face of the girl in front of her while they were alone.
Almost at the moment when the idea came to her mind, the kitten beside the girl stood up and stared at the approaching girl.
Is that... resistance?
