Episode 43

“Fan, fan club……..?”

Erica’s reply, far beyond my expectations, was quite embarrassing.

“Of course, not all, but only the sincere, dedicated members who worked hardest gathered here~”

“What?”

“And, and I’m the chairman!”

Erica clenched her fists in her hands and shouted.

“I’m sorry if you felt bad, Yerine. Bu, but I wanted to let others know your charm, too!”

Erica kept spouting out her words in an emotional split voice, and me, Rachel, and Astra just stared blankly at her like that.

At that moment, I had only one thought in my head.

‘What the hell is going on here?’

“I swear, when we pray, I only used photos taken with your permission, and I didn’t do anything strange! So……”

I heard Erica’s voice in front of me with urgency.

“Don’t hate me…”

She came one step forward, almost crying, blushing her face and holding my cuffs tight with both of her hands.

There was one thing I wanted to say when I saw a clear liquid pooling in her sparkling pink eyes.

“I’ll never hate you. It’s okay, Erica.”

Of course, what Erica said was embarrassing, but I wasn’t angry at her behaviour in the first place.

From my point of view, Erica didn’t seem to have done anything wrong to me, but as soon as I saw her look on the verge of tears, I thought so. I think I can forgive everything, even though I have nothing to forgive.

‘God…!’

To be honest, I think I’m going to laugh because I’m so happy.

My favourite heroine is the president of my fan club.

So it’s a double whammy, right?

I don’t know what it is, but I think God rewarded me because I lived a good life.

Come to think of it, I’ve endured all those bad Ace verbal abuses so far, right? Even yesterday, I told him good things.

Eureka, that must be the cause.

For your information, I was insane with great joy at the time.

Now that I think about it, it’s a ridiculous conclusion, but at the time I had reached that conclusion.

“Erica, I’m fine, with the fan club or whatever.”

“Re, really?”

Erica asked with her eyes wide open like a baby rabbit.

“Of course, we’re friends!”

It was Rachel who put the brakes on me when I was a little out of my mind.

“Originally, can you make a friend’s fan club……?”

“It’s all right because it’s Erica!”

Astra, who was looking at me answering like that, began to rummage in her pocket with a “gasp.”

“Yerine, you have a nosebleed!”

“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

“It’s running on your clothes!”

Eventually, she forced a handkerchief into my hand, and I shut my nose with that handkerchief.

“By the way, is Cassius a member of the fan club here?”

I asked Cassius, who was quietly watching the situation.

“Oh, I’d rather have a look at Yerine all alone, but–”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to know your particular taste.”

“Anyway, I’m here for information sharing.”

“But for that, you can just ask me……”

Cassius then replied, scratching his head as if in trouble.

“What should I say, I’m a little embarrassed to do that myself.”

“…….”

I’d like to refute something, but I couldn’t because I understood the feeling.

There is nothing more terrible than becoming a fanatic in front of the character.

“Erica.”

“Huh?”

“Then, what is it, Cassius, a faithful member?”

“Oh, yeah.”

“……yes, I suppose so.”

So, the expectation that the heroine and the male lead of the original story finally fell in love and that the story had regained its flow was shattered.

The heroine of the original is the president of my fan club, and the male lead is a dedicated member of the club.

To sum up, both of them were my fanatics.

“Yes, well… It doesn’t matter.’

Now that I’ve gotten used to this kind of situation, I feel like I’m on the right track.

I don’t know why they like me so much, but I don’t think it’ll be a big deal if I just leave it alone.

‘I have no idea why.’

Then a voice came over Cassius’s back.

“Well, look, I’m sorry, but……….”

The owner of the voice was a female student wearing glasses and braided yellow hair in pigtails.

“Ye, Yerine, could you please sign for me? I’m a real, very, very big fan!”

Still, the reaction was not familiar.

I didn’t think anyone would be crazy about me, and I never thought I’d be asked to sign an autograph.

“Uh… I’ll do it for you. If you have paper and a pen,”

“Argh! Thank you so much!”

The girl reacted tremendously hotly, then took a pen and paper out of her pocket.

While signing the girl, Cassius and Erica glanced at the paper a little by little.

When I finished signing, the two crept up and began to look at me.

“What, what’s wrong with both of you?”

Then Cassius opened his mouth first.

“Yerine, you know.”

I could tell by the voice that sounded softer than usual. That he wants something.

“Can’t you sign it for us, too? Please?”

“……”

To be honest, I felt a little sorry for the look of Astra and Rachel looking at the two, sincerely tired.

Still, what can I do?

While sighing, I had no choice but to answer.

“Okay. Bring the paper and the pen.”

Time went by so quickly.

After taking the midterm exam, the anniversary of the Academy foundation day was approaching.

“Now only a month is left until the academy foundation day!”

Astra talked excitedly, swinging her arms.

“Isn’t there a month left? I can’t wait.”

Rayl said, putting the book he had on his side on the desk.

“Me too, when it comes to Academia, then it’s the Academy foundation day.”

Rachel gave a word and smiled. She usually showed a smiley face, but I could tell for sure. That she is sincerely waiting for the day.

When you think of the opening anniversary of a Korean school, you won’t come up with a very exciting image. There is no way that students will be interested in the day their school was founded.

However, the Academy’s foundation day is at a different level.

It is the day of the biggest event in the Academy, and a huge banquet is held from late afternoon to night.

Full of all sorts of magic, glittering decorations, and top-notch food.

“It’s better to focus on something more productive than to be fascinated by events that are still a month away.”

Yeah, we won’t be able to develop our wits overnight.

“There’s a lot we can do in a month. There’s something else in it–”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and stopped Eugene’s words.

“Hey, Astra, Rachel, and Rayl, they all will do well. You don’t have to say that.”

Then Rachel burst into laughter.

“Ah-ha, it’s all right, Yerine, it’s all right, Eugene’s been kind of worried about us.”

“Don’t say anything strange, Ale Club.”

Eugene retorted Rachel’s words. Eugene’s face had turned slightly red.

‘Anyway, that tsundere……’

That’s true, Eugene usually doesn’t even say a word to anyone he really doesn’t care about. He might have given advice from his own perspective.

“What were you talking about?”

“Ah, Cassius.”

Cassius, who appeared with plenty of books, poked out his head and asked.

When I saw it, I put on a levitate spell and carried Cassius’ book to my desk.

“Oh, thank you, Yerine.”

“No problem, ah and we were talking about the school anniversary.”

“Oh, come to think of it, is there about a month left?”

Cassius said, tapping the object with his finger. His golden eyes shone through his dark hair, gazing at the audience.

Then Professor Frain opened the door and entered the classroom.

“Come on, everybody, have a seat.”

With the recent midterm exam over, Prof. Frain’s delivery was only about half as usual.

“With this, I’ve delivered all the information and you can leave. Ah, Spade and Ace, please come to my room in 10 minutes. That’s all.”

As soon as Prof. Frain’s words were over, the students ran out of the classroom to spend a golden Friday evening.

“Yerine, we’ll wait at the cafeteria!”

“See you later!”

Astra and Rachel waved out.

“Yerine, would you like me to come with you to Professor Frain’s private room? I’ll wait until you finish talking.”

Cassius came up to me and told me.

“Oh, well, I don’t know how long it’s gonna take……… Why don’t you eat with the kids instead of waiting for me? I’ll be there as soon as I’m done.”

“Well, I don’t really care. I’d rather go with you.”

Then Eugene snapped in with a prickly voice.

“It doesn’t matter because she’s coming with me anyway.”

When Cassius heard the voice, he replied, staring at him with his golden eyes.

“Eugene, you’ve never been with Yerine before. You always went separately.”

Eugene glanced at Cassius, who said so with his arm crossed.

“So I just said I’d come with her because she’d be bored if she went alone. Is there a problem?”

Was it just my illusion that Cassius’s eyes seemed as shiny as they turned into tigers?
