Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 393. One Too Complicated Day in the Academy. 1
The day had turned into an afternoon and finally the sun was about to sink. On that day, everything seemed to change so much.
Too many complicated things happen to everyone.
Rexa with her sister and fiancee's problems, Xenon with her brother's problems and her relationship, the Magic Council with her work and papers piling up, the three otherworldly teenagers who must strongly resist emotions due to Xenon's attitude.
Rebellenarmee also has some of their problems. However, it is not so noticeable because they have many secrets for now.
**
At the place where Kaito and the two sisters are now, along with Xenon and the twins, they are in the fancy canteen inside the academy.
The hustle and bustle of all the students who ate there felt so crowded.
The sun had not set at that time, but there was a reason why they chose to go there to eat.
The main reason was to calm Xenon who was still in shock and the second reason was to avoid unwanted things, such as hearing unpleasant news from students who could gossip arbitrarily in the corridor passageway.
Although there is actually no guarantee for them to avoid gossip and news circulating in the cafeteria, but the crowd can disguise the sound of people who are gossiping.
Jessie and Jene sat down next to Xenon and got him some food.
“Xen, here's dinner for you. We eat faster so you can rest” while giving food, Jene patted Xenon's shoulder which made him regain consciousness. “This, eat”
“Thank you, Jene..-sama”.
It was obvious that Xenon was still unable to focus his mind and brain performance.
Jessie gave him a warm drink, “Xenon, drink first”
“Thank you very much, Jessie-sama. I'm fine, not thirsty”
The three teenagers from another world who were sitting opposite the three members of the division recalled what happened before they decided to move places.
***
Previously, in the corridor passageway…
This happened when Kino had just arrived after talking to Rexa. Ryou tells her what happened and the reason why Xenon could become such a shock.
“Rexa was here and told Xenon that she and the arrogant girl were no longer engaged because she had gone to the girl's house with Lucas and Mark. About so”
Clearly it made Jessie and Jene not only shocked, but unbelieving and pale.
Seeing that, Kino who had just met Rexa felt that Xenon should be able to accept all of those things.
‘Xenon-san, Rexa-san did this for you. I hope you can understand each other. After Rexa-san heard everything from me, I hope you guys can make up’
At least that's what Kino had in mind.
Jessie held her fiance's hand while asking, “Xenon, is that true?”
“....” Xenon was silent
Seeing the silent response from him showed that it was reality.
“But, does Vexia-sama know about it?” ask Jene
“Rexa-sama said that he had informed Marquis van Houdsen. I.I have absolutely no idea how to..” before the sentence is finished, Xenon covered his mouth with one hand. As if speechless, he became mute again.
The complicated situation of the nobles made Ryou himself annoyed and whispered towards the elder brother.
“Can I be mean and say rude to resuscitate them?”
“Do not do so, Ryou.” replied the older brother while whispering
“But I'm sick of this royal drama. Moreover, all the things about nobles are greatly exaggerated”
“We must understand the situation of Xenon-san, Ryou. Can't make all these things harder”
“I see what you mean, Nii-san. But I can't stand it anymore. Give me a choice now. Want me to put out my evil words or do you do something with the drama there?”
This time, Kino is made difficult by the choice of the younger brother. Despite all that, it was only natural that Xenon and the twins were in shock.
The complicated relationship existed before the three teenagers from another world arrived. At least, that's the setting of the place.
Just thinking of something that might help, Kino looked in the direction of the front hallway, several students and schoolgirls passed by.
‘They..being talking about something’ thought.
Looking at the conditions around them at the moment, a place of silence might be good for now.
“How about we move to a quieter place?” kino's Suggestion
Kaito responds, “I agree, it can calm us”
Passing through the corridor, they decided to look for a room that could probably be considered quiet at this moment. But it's impossible.
Kaito looked at his pocket watch at the time and it was 03:55, which meant he was only about to enter at four in the afternoon.
“You want four o'clock. Which place is approximately quiet but the atmosphere is comfortable and shady?” ask Kaito while putting his pocket watch back in
Jene replied, “In the park is quite quiet but the area is open”
“Jam so far, there are students who have gone home but there are also those who are still following lesson”
“Library is also quite crowded. Unused classes are usually locked. Because today is the day of admission so the members of the division are released from the curriculum and asked to patrol”
“It won't be easy to find a quiet and comfortable place. Even if to the astonishment by the other members, Jessie and I might be asked to patrol as well and take care of the dorm administration for the freshmen”
Ryou thought, “Hmm~then..Kantin you guys are crowded not?”
“Cantin?”
“I think the place is better. It's late in the afternoon, I'm sure it won't be that many. There Xenon can also eat something or drink a warm drink to calm down”
“I had a chance to see a spot far enough from the crowd when you guys brought me there the first time. I think we can try to get there”
“Delicious food while chatting can sometimes make the heart calmer and Xenon needs it”
Xenon tried to restore himself and replied, “I'm not hungry”
“You don't but I'm hungry. Prioritize my stomach over your troubles, got it?” Ryou answered casually
Of course it's all a lie. Both Kino, Ryou and Kaito have no appetite, hunger or satiety.
All of that was done because he was concerned about Xenon's current mentality.
‘In Japan, people who are having problems usually go to a cafe or something, order a cake and eat there while chatting’
‘Cantin this place is like a special grade luxury canteen at Oxford University, more classy than a cafe in Japan’
‘At least during the empty spot and away from the crowd we can get, Xenon can calm himself and we can also discuss many things there’
‘Only this is the best choice’
That was how Ryou planned and it seemed that the elder brother understood that.
***
That's how they finally chose the place.
At first, as Ryou had expected at the beginning, the canteen was very quiet. There were hardly any students eating there.
The six of them entered and sat in the most corner seats, separated by the middle and front.
His current position, their table was close to the wall and was near a large pole there.
Judging from its position, it is quite closed and suitable to avoid the main highlight.
The first hour after arriving, all they do is take food and eat.
But Xenon did not touch anything. When Kino picked up the warm tea with tiramisu, Xenon responded slightly.
“Xenon-san, this will help you a little better”
“Thank you, Kino”
Xenon wants to eat it to the end. Then half an hour later, the cafeteria started to get crowded. Until finally it was as it is now.
Now, Xenon was back uninspired.
Ryou who is still busy with vanilla parfait and his honey stares softly.
“Xenon, if you like that.you will only make yourself tormented”.
“I just can't believe Rexa-sama can get that far”
“Before I had time to think that your sister had a mental disorder for choosing an arrogant, impolite and very chatty girl like Misha. But I'm glad he's more genius than I thought”
“You don't understand!” Xenon raised his tone slightly and looked towards Ryou. He's serious now. “Rexa-sama can make a lot of people bother with his decision it”
“But on the other hand he is trying to protect what is best for him”
“What?”
“Do not pretend to be stupid, Xenon. Rexa clearly said that she did that to protect your honor. If you consider it useless, then for me. You're the one with soul disorder”.
