Chapter 8: 8 - (Ellyn) Well, I'll be here to listen to you if you want ~~
...
After some time walking, Sebastian and I ended up in a kind of trader place or something like that. You can see why I see some people passing in front of some points and taking some things from those points. Even with the difference in time and space, it seems that this kind of thing is the same in any world...
*thinking
Naomi ... I don't want to believe it's her because it would be very convenient that I ended up in the city where she and the other 3 newbies are. But maybe I'm making a mistake ... Like, what are the chances? It may not be it even , but that doesn't prove completely. I'll have to pay attention to that later ...
...
But one thing I have to agree with her. Maybe I really did overdo this outfit. People are looking at me in a very strange way. What's wrong with my clothes? It's funny that Sebastian didn't say a word about my outfit ...
- So, here it is?
Sebastian looks kind of depressed. Has what happened left him in a bad situation?
- Here is the commercial center of Creast Fall. - Hmm , so I was right ...
- Know. They are places where they exchange or sell materials or something, right?
- I wouldn't say change, but basically you're right. - Don't they change? That's weird.
I look around and notice that there are a lot of people walking around here ...
- Hm. I understand. It seems quite crowded at such an hour.
- Well, that time is when many people leave schools or their jobs and come by. - Ah, the talk of being released or something ...
- I see.
...
Of a sudden, it was an awkward silence between us. Come on, Sebastian! Get up! Oh, I know ...
- So ... what did you want to conf ...
- Aren't you going to praise me ?
- Praise what? - Are you serious, Sebastian?
- What, you silly ~~?
* turning slowly in front of Sebastian
- Then? - Go, speak the right words to a girl!
- Hmph ... You look beautiful ... - My holy father!
- What a dry compliment.
- Huh? Didn't you say that I don't know how to choose a girl's outfit? - In desperation, we say something.
- I said, but as far as I remember, you only left a shirt, shorts and sandals. Now that I'm like this, I think a compliment is the least I can get, don't you think?
Honestly, I don't like to talk that way. I look very ungrateful for what she's already doing for me .
- Wait a moment ... Where did the jacket, skirt and socks come from? - From one time I saw a friend of mine, only that she was pink.
- I used magic to create an extra piece of clothing.
- But the clothes I gave you were not green. - What is a sin.
- I changed their color. And the size too. It got too tight on my breasts and my hips ...
Fine. Maybe I said something strange ... Maybe he is not one of those who keeps imagining dirt things just by hearing something like that ... I hope ...
- Right...
- So ... Say something, Sebastian.
Sebastian ended up giving only a slight smile, but somehow, I feel that smile is what he can give for now.
- Ellyn ...
- Yes?
- Are you ... are ... - Am I? Comp ...
* boink
- Oh! My head. Why did you give me that flick? - That hurt!
- You are inattentive and calm and too much for someone who came from another world. - My holy father! Did I need to throw this in my face?
- Hey, this is not an el ...
- But you have a high mood.
- Huh ? I-Is that good?
- Well, I like people like that. And that's what makes you so beautiful in my eyes ...
...
- Ellyn? Why are you standing there?
- You know, have you noticed that you say unusual things to say to girls ~~?
- They told me that.
- Know. But thanks for trying to praise me ~~
" I hope you continue with that thought about me ... "
...
- Are you hungry, Ellyn? - I would eat a whole fish if I gave it!
- Yes, I'm a little hungry.
- Okay ... Come with me.
Sebastian ended up walking a little ahead and started to cross the street. I ended up following him and ended up stopping in front of a place called MC Don ... Don what? I don't know, it seems like calling to eat, noticing pe ...
* entering through the door
WHAT A DELICIOUS SMELL!
- Wow! - It's so colorful it's making me dizzy .
- Just don't overdo it, Ellyn. Behave yourself. - Okay, dad rs
- Fine!
- Will you want something specific?
- What can I ask for?
- Do you see those panels over there where are those people in red, yellow and orange uniforms? There are some dishes or snacks they are selling today.
-Can I ask for anyone?
Strangely , Sebastian made an expression of sarcasm that made me curious as to why. But I think that he has been through this
- Can choose.
- Yay ~~
- I wanna ... the one with the green stuff inside. - It seems to be very healthy!
- Ah yes.
After choosing, I see him picking up something from his bag and he asks me to stay here at is he back. But I don't know ... This place is very welcoming.
- Just wait now. - Huh ?
- Whyyyy ?
- Oh, my daughter, calm down ... - Hey, get out!
- Don't you dare touch my hair.
What a calmer climate ...
...
- You told me there was something you wanted to confirm something. What was?
GULP! Oh really? Ahem ...
- Does it have to be here?
- Ellyn ...
Sebastian is looking at me with an expression of concern . I think I better tell him ...
- Okay ... Is it ... remember when I told you that I can locate areas that have the presence of magic?
- Yes I remember.
- So, when I went to your house to get the clothes, I decided to locate some places with the presence of magic and when I went to know the direction ...
- What?
- The school where you study has a great amount of magical presence ...
He was silent for a second.
- Wait. What? - Did not understand?
- At your school, I felt a lot ...
- I understood that part. So, did you go there just to confirm this?
- Yes. - Even because it surprised me too.
- And why didn't you tell me in front of the school?
- I was going, but that Stella saw me and I had to improvise. - And that Naomi is also there.
- So, your way there ...
- It was a way of being able to get you out of there and we can talk about it without anyone you know knew what we would talk about. - And to get out of there soon!
- And why didn't you stay invisible and find me inside the school?
When he asked that, I ended up realizing that if I told him about my magical energy being in half, I would have to ask ... No ...
- Well ... I think that here would not be the best place to talk ...
- Do you have a reason? - Has...
...
- Ellyn? - Yeah, it looks like I can't hold this any longer ...
- I have a request to make.
- What request?
- So, is ...
- Sebastian ?
Before I say anything, I hear a female voice on our side and realize it's Cassie, wearing a red uniform and with her hair up.
- Cassie? What are you doing here? - Big brother, right ...
- I came to eat with some friends from school. And you?
I realize that Sebastian is a little tense and I think I better stay in mine until something happens. But right ...
- I ... came to eat something.
- Right ... And she?
Okay, follow the wave...
- My name is Ellyn. Nice to meet you ~~
I don't know why, but Cassie's expression makes me look like she didn't like me ... I had liked her way ...
- Pleasure ...
- And she's a friend of mine, if that's what you want to know.
- Know...
...
- Does Naomi know about this? - Hey!!!
- Yes I think. - She almost freaked me out so she knows.
- And will you do that? No more or less?
- Cassie, what's wrong?
- The problem? Like, I don't know, the same day Naomi goes over to the house and in the afternoon, you're going out with another girl.
- Cassie, I told you. Ellyn is a friend of mine. Only that.
- Humrum . It was like that with Alli ...
- CASSANDRA, ENOUGH!
...
It was the first time that I saw Sebastian angry. I ... didn't expect that. Sebastian was acting so calm... But ...
- Excuse me, is there a problem here?
Out of nowhere, a boy in the uniform of this court food ended up showing up here, with an expression of concern.
- No, no problem.
Cassie just said , turned and she goes to the exit of the court food, walking fast, leaving those people nearby with the same uniform as she confused. People are looking at us both, with a strange look ... The same look as ...
- ( sigh ) Sorry about that.
- N-No problem.
After that, that order of food arrived and we ate, without saying anything else. I think I should talk to him about my magic when he is calmer ...
...
05:00 PM
...
After we left the court food, Sebastian and I ended up going back the same way we coming. Apparently, he started walking back home, which is where Cassie might be. But there is still a silence between us...
...
- Ellyn, is it okay if we do it another day? - What a depressed voice.
- Okay, Sebastian.
He doesn't even look at me or look around. Just forward, like I was sure where he was going ... Yeah, maybe I know what it feels like to be like this ...
- Sebastian ...
- What is it, Ellyn?
...
- Why did Cassie act that way?
At that moment, Sebastian continued walking, but slower than he was a few seconds ago.
- I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it.
- Why not?
- Why ... Ellyn, why do you want to know?
...
- Look, since I showed up, you heard me, even though I said things that seemed impossible to someone normal. So, listening to you is the least I could do. Even if it's silly or very personal to you.
- I don't know...
- Well, I'll be here to listen to you if you want ~~
...
- Well ... It is not something very wrong or strange, okay?
- I won't judge you.
- Fine...
Before starting to speak, Sebastian stopped walking and started looking at some trees across the street.
- It was a year ago. At the time, Ian and Stella were pissing me off to find someone. They kept saying that I needed to find something that would make me interested in something besides helping people, so that I could focus on myself. And that's when I met a person ... Aliison ...
- Let me see ... A girl?
- Yes. We was fellow class and she never was someone who called attention. She was a normal student. We both ended up having to pair up in an activity ... And after that point, she and I started to spend more time together. And in a way ... I was liking her.
- Dated?
- Almost ...
- Almost?
- Well, she and I spent time together, even outside of school. But there were times when she always said she needed to go home early. I didn't question and said that everything was fine. But there was a day that it happened and I went home. Later, Naomi sent a message saying that she had gone out with some class friends and Allison was also there ... At first, I thought it was a coincidence or she didn't want to tell me why I don't know ... girl stuff. But then Naomi sent me one message saying that Allison was ... dating with a boy from the 3rd year of my school.
- Oh ...
- I didn't believe it, but Naomi sent me an image of a conversation from one of Allison's friends. And another image ... It was a photo of the two of them kissing. And the last picture ... was to said they had done ...
...
- Well, at the time, I was wondering why. Whenever we were together, she was always cute, kind and caring , but when I saw those images, I just accepted right away that she was not who I thought she was.
- What did you do?
- The next day, I distanced myself completely from her. Every time she approached, I left. And after a while, she stopped too. She and I didn't speak to each other at that time. And she changed completely , both in behavior and appearance. Showing who she really was ...
- But what does Cassie have to do with it?
- The only people who knew about this story were Naomi, Ian , Stella and a few students close to Allison . But after that, Cassie realized that I was different . And one night, she ended up asking me why I was that way ... It was at that moment, that I told her everything. .. It was the first time that my sister, after understanding how life works, gave me a hug, saying that everything would pass. .. And I ended up releasing all the weight of holding it all by myself ...
...
- After all this was over, my sister kept an eye on the people I talked to or had relationships with. And besides, I also started paying attention to whoever approached me. ..
- So, she was only worried if I use you or deceive you?
- She doesn't trust people she has not seen before or with whom she has already spoken. In the case of Ian and Stella, they didn't even have to convince her that they were good friends. And Naomi was the same, only with slight differences.
- I see.
- Sorry if I spent too much time talking.
- No need to apologize ~~ I was just amazed to see you that way.
- Ah rs. Well, at least, you've already seen that I'm not as wise or a saint as you think.
- Can be.
After that, we started walking towards his house again, but I'll have to go straight through or hide to enter his room later ...
* looking at Sebastian from the coast
" I think deep down ... We are the same in something ..."
