Luna used her sleeve to wipe away the sweat that had formed on my forehead.

I quietly accepted Luna\'s touch and opened my eyes.

……This is too close.

If I moved my body even a little, our faces would collide.

For some reason, my heart started beating faster.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

Luna asked in a small voice as if she was worried about disturbing the students\' sleep.

I decided not to answer, as I couldn\'t fully express my concerns.

Luna, who seemed to have taken my silence as a yes, made a sad face.

“If you\'re having a hard time, talk to me. We, we\'re friends…….”

Luna suddenly stuttered.

I just watched Luna\'s reaction.

Lost in deep thought.

“…….”

It\'s not easy to affirm or deny the word \'friend\'.

Friend…….

Would she still call me a friend if she knew my true nature?

I am the creator of this world.

The misfortune and sorrow of everyone, including Luna, was written by my hand.

Even if I told her, she wouldn\'t believe me.

\'I\'m tired, a little.\'

It\'s been less than a week.

There\'s been so much going on, and I\'ve had so many thoughts.

In the process, I realized that this world is not a virtual reality made of text, but another reality.

That\'s why.

\'……I can\'t accept it.\'

Luna\'s feelings for me are a burden.

I lowered my gaze and looked at Luna, who was looking up at me from my chest.

The soft orange light emitted from the magic lamp made her white and light pink hair stand out.

Then, without me knowing it, a pure emotion came to mind.

\'She\'s pretty.\'

It\'s not an empty compliment, she\'s as beautiful as Rene and Fron.

But she doesn\'t seem to realize it because she\'s so insecure.

Then, just as I was about to look away in case our eyes met.

……Luna slowly moved her body.

Thud-

Luna was suddenly in my arms.

Blink, blink.

I blinked blankly because her actions were so sudden.

I knew that Luna had feelings for me, but I never thought she would like me this much…….

My ears were starting to turn red when.

“Adel.”

Luna called out.

I opened my mouth at the sound of her voice, heavy with deep-seated sorrow.

“Why do you call me?”

“Adel.”

Tightly.

Luna, who had called out to me again, grabbed the collar of my clothes and pulled me close.

Before I could even part my lips to answer, Luna’s tearful voice rang out again.

“Adel.”

“…….”

Luna’s hands were trembling.

I couldn’t do anything but cover her hands with mine.

Just like when I helped Luna kill the captive in Orgon.

But, her trembling hands did not stop even as I gently caressed them.

I opened my mouth to speak to Luna.

“Were you afraid of the humans?”

Shakily.

Luna shook her head at my question.

She didn’t seem to be lying, so I asked her another question.

“Were you afraid of that human?”

If it wasn’t the human students that she was afraid of, then perhaps it was Terias that she feared.

After all, Terias had shown his might by instantly repelling Samuel and the students.

Rustle-.

However, Luna shook her head again, as if to say that wasn’t it either.

Then what was she afraid of?

‘Surely not…….’

I raised my hand and wiped away the dried bloodstains stuck to my face.

Here and there, I was covered in wounds and the blood of the human students.

My current appearance was not a pretty sight, to put it mildly.

“It’s not me that you’re afraid of, is it?”

“That can’t be……!”

Luna denied it loudly.

At that, I immediately raised my index finger and placed it on Luna’s lips.

“Quietly, the other students might wake up.”

“U, uh…….”

Was it because of the lighting?

Luna’s face turned even redder.

Only then did I remove my index finger from her lips.

And I asked her the next question.

“Then, what are you afraid of?”

If it wasn’t the human students or Terias, then what was it that she was afraid of?

After Terias, the next biggest threat would have been the Imperial Academy instructor, Besaha, but I had dealt with him myself.

Luna let out a deeply gloomy voice.

“……Death.”
