Since The Fall Of Maglindo
Chapter 06: Consequences

Before, I had waited long enough for Sherly to finish the class. And as he had said, my affairs were still not resolved, so now it was my turn to be overcome.

The thing is, I remember that Sherly was going to report me to the police, wasn't that very dangerous? In any case, he will have plenty of evidence against his charges of sexual harassment. In reality, what I did was right, besides that I only realized the consequences now. The normal days at my school are about to turn out to be cooped up behind the coldness of iron bars. But before that happened, he turned out to drive me first into the room owned by Mr. December.

Of course, he had asked me who my homeroom teacher was, and the answer was clear, Mr. December. Precisely it happened after he left the class, while the news about Grizelle had not been conveyed at all.

Now, inside here, the one dominating the eye view is cigarette smoke. My chest feels tight when living something that is not needed in the process of breathing. As the pile of dense smoke moved to the side, from behind it appeared a person whose name was imprinted on the top of the door. He's Mr. December, between his middle and index fingers, caught a familiar cigarette.

In front of me, there were two chairs, as if they had been deliberately equated with our arrival. As Sherly sat down, I decided to follow her. At first, I actually thought that Sherly would take me to the BK room or something first, because generally so. But even to Mr December? I never expected.

“Good day, sir, sorry to interrupt.”

Of course the one who spoke was not me, after all saw the face of Mr. December who looked rancid plus underestimated our existence alone had made me not serious since.

“So my arrival here is to—“

“Actually you don't have to be too polite with me.”

I had expected, this teacher who was in front of me was a different person from the general, I mean judging from his behavior. On the outside, he looks like a genius—the reality is so—the lazy. So it doesn't scare me or anything like that, instead I can calm myself down. Because what I experienced before really made me become hopeful, on the other hand, I sacrificed my relationship with Grizelle to achieve it.

If you compare who suffered the most between me and him, then the answer is still Grizelle. It's nothing, she's a girl, and the way I've done it has crossed a line I shouldn't have crossed. It's just that I don't think of any other plot in which Grizelle would tell me her secret by just asking normal questions, wanting to be seen from anywhere, she would still be unwilling to obey. So by being forced to take advantage of her past, despite not knowing the details, there was at least some rough picture in my head.

“So, what's your purpose here?”

“I to here—“

“I asked the guy next to you?”

I think I'll laugh soon. This guy in front of me sucks at it amazingly, both here and while teaching, there are always things that make me laugh.

And maybe because Mr. December's standing was teacher, so after his conversation was cut off, Sherly could only show her sharp gaze without any killing aura, she said, it's just that his face still shows that what he will say is something serious.

Since the one being asked here was me, so without waiting for the question to be repeated, I instantly strengthened my existence.

“I was brought here for perceived sexual harassment.”

He remembers my name, so maybe I should be proud. But the important part is not that now, because inevitably I have to admit everything.

Thinking of the answer I would use to the question, made my head work hard at one time. It's just that there's still nothing to think of as an excuse that makes me honest, plus it's still forgivable.

“Looks ...” Because this answer can make me safe, Sherly looked at me sharply, and never did she to think I was disgusting like now, so I could only take it and then continued to answer, “Iya, I did it.”

“Reason?”

“... If you know about the Richord cult, it should all be reasonable.”

Mr. December seems to think hard about this, if he can connect all the past related events, then the answer to my statement will be very easy.

I mean, he looks like he knows my family well, at least let's say he knows who my family is. From there, it should be if we talk about some of the worst tragedies that have ever befallen the world, one of which, there must be something that leads to my family. Given that most people at least know, although not in detail, the information still has the same root. However, when the tragedy happened, news was everywhere, all the media that could be used to broadcast. And it was only a matter of years, so I thought that what I was doing had a reason to support.

Even so, I still admit my mistakes, emotions are really hard to resist. Although it is actually very easy for me to be free from all accusations by only utilizing some of the things I have, it is still wrong. At first I had no intention of giving myself up after doing that to Grizelle, but because of being discovered, how else. The one who witnessed it was also the one I least expected, I began to think that luck was not on my side at the moment.

But of course if there is a chance, then I will solve the problem that I have wanted to solve for a long time. Everything I would risk for it, but the negative effect, I would be very hard not to go back to the old me, let alone him no longer exist.

Totally racking my mind, even though I have no intention to go back to the old version. And now I am confused because of that, everything must also be confused, so with Mr. December who is now scratching his head.

“If in detail, I don't know. But the reason you did it like that, isn't it?”

I nodded twice without pause. While I smiled, Sherly remained on her expression.

He had no reason to hate me at first, because I did nothing. However, if now it was clearly different, because he had witnessed something he should not have witnessed.

“But still you did it. So, sorry, does she no longer have her virginity?”

“Still, still! Maybe anyway, because I haven't put it—eh, no, it's just ... thigh part only, I hold it, yes, her underwear ..”.

I feel like shouting with my failed delivery. After all, Mr. December was too at his core to ask, and it was really scary. While from my confession, Grizelle's disgusted gaze grew.
