I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years - Chapter 445



Side Story – Fear and Hunger (5)

“You say it won’t harm you?”

“Beep!”

‘Should I kill him?’

Hazel’s cool eyes turned to the sparrow struggling in her grasp. If I put my strength into her hands right now, the poor sparrow’s fate would be over, but unfortunately, she had a promise.

“It’s boring.”

As soon as her palm was spread out, the sparrow in her grasp her her fled, leaving only a few of her feathers her. Hazel waved her hand, brushed off her feathers, and stood up.

“Paymin.”

“Why~Sister~?”

“Are you on the tree again?”

“Climbing trees is quite fun~”

Feimin, who was hanging from a tree like a monkey, smiled and took a bite of the apple. Unlike her struggle with her desire to kill, Fei Min was leading a relatively good life.

Because she didn’t have the same drive as her older sister.

At least she was able to suppress her own desires by wielding’appropriate violence.’

It means that there is a need to see a fair amount of blood, but it is not serious.

‘You speak comfortably.’

“Paymin. Let’s go back.”

“What? “It’s only been an hour since we left!”

“It’s not fun.”

“When I go in, I have to do my homework~”

“You’re just going to do it half-heartedly and just sit around, right~?”

At Hazel’s point, Fay Min pouted her mouth and immediately jumped from the tree. Even though she was more than three times her height, she sat down as easily as a cat and approached Hazel and held out her apple.

“Do you want to eat?”

“Can you at least give me a new apple?”

“But I don’t want to go picking again~”

“Let’s eat it quickly and go back.”

The two sisters headed home at a leisurely pace, as always.

A home that hasn’t changed for 15 years, but I miss it but I don’t.

When the two arrived home, a familiar face greeted the twin sisters.

It was the sisters’ mother, Angela.

Angela put down the ladle she was stirring and walked over to the two, giving them a light hug. She then looked at Fei Min’s body and removed the leaves from her body.

“Feimin, there’s a leaf on your back.”

“Really~?”

Fe Min smiled brightly, as if she liked Angela’s attention her her her her.

A pure smile without any other emotions mixed in.

Hazel put a mask on her face as she looked at her mother and her younger brother. Because it was impossible to reveal the emotions that she had festered inside her.

Because she also loved her mother.

Angela said a few words to Fay Min, then turned her attention to Hazel.

There were complex emotions in her eyes that she could not hide.

Worry, sadness, affection.

When the swirling emotions came into Hazel’s head through her eyes, she would try to smile as if nothing had happened.

“Hazel, are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. “You know that your body is strong~”

A dry answer. However, Angela did not go out of her way to point out Hazel’s attitude. It was hard for her to point out her attitude because she knew the cause better than anyone else.

“I’m going to go do my homework.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Me too!”

Looking at her mother with her eyes containing the slightest sorrow, she climbed the stairs and entered her own room. Feimin smiled awkwardly at Hazel’s behavior and followed her up.

Unresolved issues.

But it is a problem that cannot be solved.

She closed her eyes in front of the difficult task presented to her daughter.

—————–

“Feimin, did you hear that? “Bandits have invaded the village next door!”

“Bandits~? It’s dangerous~”

“I heard the vigilante defeated them and ran away? Could it be that he is coming to our village?”

“No way~ This is a remote village~”

“Paymin, paymin! Mr. Douglas Bakery made a new cake this time!”

“Really~?”

The classroom, where all the children from the small town gathered to learn, had a peaceful atmosphere like any other time.

A scene where people chat, someone reads a book quietly, and someone plays pranks.

But inside, Hazel Mann was looking out her window, giving off an atmosphere as foreign as ink on pure white drawing paper.

And no one approached her like that.

It may be because she treats people around her bluntly, but it may also be because she exudes something that evokes instinctive fear in humans.

“Sister! Do you want to go with me too?”

“I’m fine, so have fun.”

“But mom…”

“I’ll be in the forest, so come play and call me.”

With those words, Hazel walked out of the classroom.

‘It’ll be okay, right?’

“I guess my sister doesn’t want to go~”

Fe Min, who was looking at her back, smiled awkwardly and left the classroom with her friends.

“…I’m bored.”

Chewing on her solitude, she walked alone to the forest and looked up at the sky.

Aside from her burning insides, the sky was clear and sunny.

‘…I don’t need friends.’

It is said that human relationships are necessary to survive in this world, but is there any meaning in human relationships if no one approaches in the first place?

Hazel went into the forest, feeling lonely.

It was very dangerous for a slender girl to go deep into the forest, but at least not for her.

Because it wasn’t just her her her her humans her who avoided her.

“…I guess I should take a nap.”

‘It will take about two hours.’

Hazel, lying down on a suitable tree stump, closed her eyes. All she can hear is the wind tickling the grass and the birds chirping.

How long has it been since she closed her eyes like that?

She opened her eyes to an unfamiliar presence.

‘The smell of blood…’

“…What? “It’s a girl, right?”

“Older brother.” “What should I do?”

“Big brother, I don’t think you should touch it… “

“What nonsense?”

No matter what they said, Hazel got up and brushed the dust and leaves off her clothes.

It was none of her business whether the person in front of her was a robber or something.

‘…Annoying.’

Malice conveyed clearly.

It wouldn’t be easy to kick someone out if they wanted to, but Hazel couldn’t do it willingly.

If she were to chase it away, there would be a higher chance of seeing blood, and if she saw blood… She wasn’t sure if she could hold it in.

“Turn it off.”

“Hey, did you hear? “Get the hell out of us!”

“Being picky.”

“Can’t you see the weapon in my hand? Man, you’re a scary person. When you say something nice-“

“It goes back when you say nice things.”

Instinctive disgust and impulse to kill. Hazel was gritting her teeth without realizing it.

‘I have to keep my promise.’

She knows her own strangeness.

Her ideality was as dangerous as a thin glass, and she could not have known that the slightest provocation could cause it to break.

“Do you think there is something you believe in?”

“Do you think something has happened to you just because you look smooth?”

Her trio of robbers surrounded her with their weapons.

A situation where there is nowhere to escape.

If things continue like this, things will get tough. However, Hazel could not willingly lay her hands on the robbers.

‘If you touch me… It’s the end.’

How has she endured so far?

It was no longer possible to tear down the tower that had been built for so many years. Hazel ignored the three, turned her back and kicked the ground.

“That bitch is running away!” Grab it!”

“Big brother, that bitch is pretty fast, isn’t she?”

“That’s enough to catch it!”

Hazel ran through the forest and eluded the robbers. The robbers who chased her at first eventually lost sight of her and started swearing at her.

“Shit. “You’re as fast as a deer.”

“It’s a waste.”

Her youngest robber looked in the direction where she had disappeared with a puzzled expression.

‘I’m a little anxious…’

But she has no say in him.

From noble mtl dot com

‘…It might be better to just run away rather than being noticed.’

“Anyway, there’s a village in the direction she went… Youngest one, call the kids! “I’m going to attack the village over there this evening!”

“Couldn’t it be a big town?”

“How big can a village in such a remote corner be? Stop talking nonsense and call the kids. If we can’t get there anyway, we’re all going to starve to death.”

Since we were kicked out without being able to capture the village we visited just before, this is our last chance.

The bandit leader looked in the direction where Hazel had disappeared with grim eyes.
