It was another new day as the alarm on my phone forced awake.
Following the usual routine I got ready in no ti and headed to attend the class.
Minding my own business, I sat in my seat yesterday's seat.
The class was about to start, I looked around but couldn't see Mitshua.
I turned on my phone and sent her a ssage asking her the reason for her absence.
—-"if you do not reply the kiss penalty per day will be double"—— after checking the text again I sent the ssage to Mitshua.
Perhaps it was the threat, I instantly received a reply from her.
—-Bastard, I am sick today! Now don't disturb .—
'Oh, then I can leave early and follow the plan I made yesterday.'
Just as I had seen Mitshua's reply I saw the two people entering.
"Shouta, I am feeling sick these days. I will sit near the window."
Claire quickly sat beside on the empty seat on my right.
There was a girl already sitting in front of and behind was the wall.
Before sitting, Claire passed a note to the girl sitting in front of .
The girl sitting in front was startled when she saw a note being suddenly dropped by Claire.
She slowly opened the note and read what was written on it.
She looked back at Claire sitting on my right and her gaze moved between and Claire as if she had discovered sothing interesting.
The girl nodded towards both of us before turning his head back to the front.
Shouta who just saw Claire sitting beside my right felt uncomfortable.
'Fuck, yesterday that Mitshua sat beside that boy and today even Claire is sitting beside him?'
'No, I can't allow them to have any contact with anyone other than ', Shouta roared inwardly as he headed towards the girl sitting in front of .
"Miss, my friend is sitting just behind you. Can I exchange seats with you?"
Shouta spoke in his politest tone.
"Noo~" -the girl replied decisively. She already agreed to the note Claire had thrown earlier.
"Thank you so much Miss, I will definitely repay the favour next ti."
-Shouta even laughed out aloud. Being refused..he had never even considered this possibility because it was sothing impossible in his mindset. Which girl can refuse his sunny face?
"Didn't you hear say No? Don't disturb or I will complain to the teacher.
The smile on Shouta's face froze.
His self-esteem would never allow him to ask to exchange a seat with Elandor that's why he asked the girl in the first place.
"Shouta, it's ok."
"It doesn't matter where we sit as long as we are in the sa class", said Claire softly.
Her expression told as if she had won a secret war.
"Yes, you are right Claire. It's just a seat."
Shouta could only clench his fist as he walked back to where he ca from.
In his mind, he had already morized Elandor's na as one of his love rivals.
I looked at Claire who was smiling.
"It seems you are having quite a fun?"
"After the classes are over, stop Shouta from going to Mitshua's house and the thing I asked is it done"
"Okay, even though I wanna see what you gonna do..cuz of this fking slave seal I will do what you told."
Claire replied unhappily.
It was clear, like yesterday she again wanted to stalk .
"The address of Shouta's old house where his younger sister and mother lived has already been sent to you in the morning , check your inbox. The ssage must be from an unknown number…that is my secret phone number."
I checked the inbox, there was indeed a ssage from an unknown number with various details that I asked Claire to inquire of.
Soon the class started, throughout the ti neither nor Claire interacted much.
She did ask so stupid questions like how I raised my strength in the break?.. but I was mostly unresponsive.
With the bell ringing, I quickly left the class.
Before leaving, I made sure to rember Claire what I said once again,
"Stop Shouta from going to Mitshua's house at all costs today."
I left without looking behind.
The surety brought by the slave seal plus Claire's sudden interest in would be enough for her to listen to .
'But I do wonder how she will hold Shouta back from going to Mitshua's house? As a protagonist, I don't believe that he will not get the news that Mitshua is sick. I will ask her later about it~'
Stopping the unnecessary thoughts, I boarded a taxi
outside the campus.
The destination was of course Shouta's house.
After an half hour of drive, the taxi dropped in front of a slum.
"Well the situation of people living here indeed seems miserable but it's not that bad to be ashad and hide about?" -I muttered to myself.
There was it ….a shabby house with only 1 room, probably they were using the public bathroom provided by the governnt.
Without feeling any disgust, I walked over and opened the door of the house which was not locked.
As I entered inside I saw sothing which caught off-guard.
"Mother, don't worry!"
"You will get better soon."
"Yesterday, my older brother told on the phone that he successfully enrolled in the famous Martial University."
"In no ti he will beco a successful and strong person. Then we will have enough money. I don't believe with enough money and top doctors we won't be able to find a cure for you."
The young girl who was holding the hands of a sick woman lying on the bed was crying with tears falling one after another.
"Mother, I got a new part-ti job. With it, I can earn enough to pay our electricity and water bills."
The sadness and gloominess in her tone were not sothing that could be hidden even if she wanted to.
