Chapter 731 They are different
[Quin’s POV: ]
The house made of chocolate was right in front of me and after everyone else had their chance to take one piece of whatever they wanted from this, it was finally my chance.
“Quin! Quin! Take the fountain! The fountain! You’ll love it~!”
Lady Reinelle was suggesting me even though she had been quite during the other people’s turns… but there was no reason to not listen to her suggestion.
In the first place, everyone was saying this chocolate house was the best thing they have had in their lives, so there wasn’t really any need to think too deeply about what I wanted to have.
Everything was going to be amazing.
“Alright, then I will take the fountain.”
“Not the whole thing! You should still leave some for others so just cut it in half. Oh, wait. Let me do it for you~.”
She… was amazing.
And beautiful.
“Oh, thank you Lady Reinelle.”
“Haha, how many times do I have to call you Quin~? You can call me Elle~.”
She was an important figure that even Princess Bell and Mia admired. I shouldn’t really be comfortable calling her without honorifics, but for some reason, I didn’t really feel any discomfort calling her as the people closer to her did.
“Here~.”
She was pretty, attractive, had a special elegant air to her, and her eyes… her pretty pink eyes were so attractive that I sometimes get lost in them.
They were gorgeous, perhaps they were the main reason her overall beauty was elevated to such new degrees.
“Thank you… Elle.”
“Yes~. That’s right~.”
She felt familiar to me, as if we had already known each other for a long time but… well, I don’t know.
I don’t even know many people in this world yet so how could she feel familiar to me in the first place?
The closest person I can compare to her would be Uriel but the two of them are completely different people.
‘Yes Uriel is pretty cool and amazing on her own, but both she and Lady Reinelle seem fundamentally different people to me.’
Uriel is talkative and cheerful. She knows a lot about magic and the world and how the world works, and she is a free spirit that does whatever she wants. Including kissing her fiancée all around the school even though everyone is watching.
‘Hehe, she even tries to hide themseves even though it’s so obvious.’
They have created a unique trend among the couples of the academy where the couples try to be as open to one another as they can and try to do anything and everything that they wouldn’t have done otherwise in the presence of other people.
‘It’s in pretty positive thing in a way but on the other hand, it could also turn out to be concerning if they start crossing the moral and social boundaries.’
That would be breaking the school rules and if we come across people doing things that were clearly restricted and prohibited within the school grounds, we would have no choice but to properly report them to the authority.
‘Though, I know Uriel and Lucyfer wouldn’t do something that they shouldn’t for a fact.’
They knew what was right and what was right so, they did just the things that were allowed but less practised.
That was how the two of them were, while it comes to Lady Reinelle or even Master Axion, it’s completely different.
“Try taking in the fragrance of the fountain.”
“Hmm? What does that mean?”
“Smell it, dummy.”
“Oh.”
Her laugh was elegant, like that of the ladies of the high society, or like some of the noble ladies of our school that I don’t really like much when it comes from the others… but her elegance is completely different from those young girls.
“This… how can this be? Is this really chocolate?”
I can smell the fragrance of various waters, the fresh water that was the same as I had smelled from the fountain outside.
There was a unique smell of a deep concentration of water element, something I could sense pretty well, and at the same time, there was this inexplicable feeling of amazement growing inside of me… asking me to devour that chocolate completely after only a little sniff.
“Haha, eat it. It’s yours. ”
She patted my head with a happy smile on her face, and walked towards the other side.
She was different from Uriel.
‘If it was Uriel in her place right now, she would hug me, and rub her face against mine saying I was cute. And I knew she would do the same with Med.’
She showed her affected openly while Lady Reinelle, even though she wanted to interact more with us, talk more, and be more open, she restricted herself from doing so.
Her way to show her effection and emotions was different from Uriel, and there were many more things different about both of them.
‘They were unique individuals who are unique in their own places.’
But that’s probably what makes both of them so special…
“Hmmm… this is heavenly…”
One bite.
One small bite was all it took for me to fall into love with cut of chocolate fountain.
“Hmmm~. Even the heavens might envy us for having something so good…”
The second bit, and my mouth was full. Along with my heart, of course.
“Wow…”
I was swimming in the ocean, perhaps a river, or a vast lake that has been untouched by any life since its creation.
I was swimming, flowing, going somewhere.
It was a strange feeling, something I had perhaps felt before as well when interacting with my cute familiar inside that special egg.
It was certainly amazing how a mere piece of chocolate could cause one to feel so calm, so peaceful, so… rejuvenated. I don’t even know what to think about anymore-
“Oy oy oy. You will bite your hand, Quin.”
“Hmmm?”
I was lost in this special feeling.
These deep waters.
These rains, and this source of water…
I could feel I was feeling something. Something special.
It was like being drawn towards something mysterious. Something new and unique that I had not known before.
It was special so I wanted to keep feeling it for a little longer, but I heard a vice, and sensed a familiar touch on my hand… a touch that brought me back to this reality.
“Chry?”
“Your hand. You were going to bite it.”
Chry was holding my hand that was almost before my mouth… the chocolate that was there just a moment ago was gone as well.
Where did it go…?
“Where’s my chocolate?”
“You ate it all already, of course.”
“No I didn’t. I just took two bites… did you eat my chocolate?”
I know I only took two bites. They were just two. I know for a fact. And then I was just standing there, swimming in that ocean or lake or whatever it was… there is no way I finished that big piece in just a blink of an eye.
“You ate it, didn’t you Chry?”
He does this pranks sometimes, steals my things, bullies me for no reason. But now he was stealing my chocolate as well? How can he do that…?
“I did nothing like that, Aleequinn. And look around. It has been half an hour since master and others finished their own piece of chocolates and went back.”
“Hmmm? What do you mean…?”
What did he mean by that?
Went back?
“Hmmm? What…? Where did everyone go?”
The dining room was empty now. There was only a few maids and butlers let here who were doing the cleaning.
What was happening?
“You have been standing here just like this for more than half an hour now.
Master said you were lost in the waters or something similar and weren’t even listening to anyone.
They advised it was best to leave you like this since this might be a moment you have some kind of breakthrough, so I was here watching over you as you slowly finished your piece of fountain slowly, taking one bite after another.
Slowly feeling the taste, the texture, and you even did this strange smelling this-”
“Alright alright. That’s enough. I get what you are saying.”
The clocks around us were also showing that a pretty long time had passed since we had started eating the dessert.
The time I was lost in that water, ocean, river or whatever it was must have been much longer than what I perceived… 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
“You would have hurt yourself had you bitten your fingers as well so I had no choice but to stop you… I apologise if it hindered your breakthrough in any way.”
Chry, this friend of mine had stayed here with me, standing here, just watching over me all this time. And, after doing all that for no reason at all, he was also saying sorry to me? .
“Don’t apologise like that, dummy. You were just looking after me so there is nothing for you to apologise for. If anything, I should thank you for-”
“Don’t thank me for something small like this. It’s not like I did anything special. On the other hand, did you get the ‘enlightenment’ that the Master was talking about?”
They must have somehow known what was happening to me since they told him about this breakthrough thing.
Sadly though, I fell just a minute shy from reaching the end of what I had been feeling.
“Only if I had a little more of that chocolate, perhaps I might have reached the bottom of that ocean, or the end of that river. Haaa… well, perhaps next time.
And it WAS NOT your fault. So don’t you dare feel bad about this.
I would have been sadder had I bitten myself so thanks for saving me.”
I hugged him lightly as a thanks, and looked behind him at the clock that was almost reaching my night study time.
“Anyway, I heard them saying there’s a library filled with special books here as well? Can you show me where that is Chry~?”
He didn’t say anything after that hug and looked as if he was lost in his thought, but he snapped out of it at my second question, and looked back at me.
“Oh, you want to see the study area?”
“Is that where the books are, then yes please.”
“Ah, sure. Let’s go there then… but you are alright, right?”
“Of course I am alright. What would happen to me in the great Heliox estate~? Haha, thanks for worrying about your friend but I’m perfectly fine.
Let’s go now~. I want to read about the water thing Lady Griz talked about earlier.”
Pulling him by his wrist, I started walking and dragged him along with me.
This was the house he grew up in, in a way, so I had to have a personal tour of this house from him.
Uriel and Lucifer weren’t here so he was the only one I was closest with in this new place.
He should take care of his one and only study partner, shouldn’t he?
