Since The Fall Of Maglindo
Chapter 07 part V: The Greatest Obstacle and Collapse of the Youth Dream

“Emmm, this week have you any interesting activities? Maybe it can be taken as a consideration to join faster.”

“There is, of course! But it has not been decided where it will go. As I said to you, every week we are always on vacation.”

“It would be so much fun.”

As I praised him, Ryuga seemed happy to think I would actually join his club. Of course I do intend to join, but the conditions I am experiencing now cannot be ignored.

From the beginning there was also one thing that was still stuck in my mind, so I wanted to overcome this one first. The problem is that even though it is finished, there are still many other unpleasant things that need to be addressed. For example, my mother, if she finds out, then I can't imagine when she gets angry later.

“So you will join in this week?”

“The idea is so, but I got suspended for a long time, actually depends also.”

Yeah, that's the main problem. Because by being suspended, I can not move around in school freely, especially plus my popularity that suddenly rose since less than 1 hour ago, he said, it's impossible to carry out Grizelle's abduction plan to get her to tell her the details.

Just thinking about that was enough to make me dizzy, now Sherly even goes into the room because she may have just realized that the conversation with Mr. December has ended.

“What punishment does this disgusting person receive?” He asked Ryuga.

“Nothing, we just chatted from earlier.”

Sherly's face seemed to be unacceptable, I could feel it just by looking at it. But why yes? I don't think he's upset just because I did something indecent to Grizelle, as if he had a personal grudge.

“Where did Mr December go earlier? I want to talk to him.”

“She didn't say anything, but maybe join a meeting, you should know the place.”

Sherly simply responded without asking anything more. When he turned around, his eyes still glanced at me with disdain, but just stayed out. And the moment he opened the door, the people who were swarming outside were running around in disarray. I don't know why, but that's how it happened.

Right after the door was shut by Sherly, someone slapped me on the shoulder again. Yeah, like before because I'm sure Ryuga will talk about his club.

“What's true about the suspension earlier?”

“Iya, instead I think you already know.”

“If the suspension is difficult to handle, but I will try to get you to join as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I give it to you.”

I think it's likely that Ryuga will also be able to resolve the issue about this suspension. Indeed, I still wonder how he did it, only if everything can go smoothly, why not.

So when Ryuga said that he was going to work on it, I was very happy that there was still someone standing next to me. Instead of staying away, he was supportive as a friend. From the beginning I did feel that he was a good person, maybe I should have quickly joined him.

“Ryuga, you're actually weird.”

Hearing that, Ryuga tilted her head in response, it was commonly used to ask without having to open her mouth.

“You know, I've been sexually harassed, and if it's normal, someone will choose to close their eyes.”

“... I don't see anything evil from you.”

“Eh?”

“Maybe you don't know, I'm actually quite observant in judging people. And I think you should have a clear reason for that, not just lust.”

If I were a girl, I might cry now. It is fitting that there are many people who like Ryuga, it turns out that the person is indeed good at choosing words. Maybe I should learn to him sometime, about how to make other people want to be friends with me. If you describe it, Ryuga is like the figure I always dreamed of. He is perfect on all sides who for now still hides behind the impossible word for me.

“But to be honest, I was tempted when I saw ***************.”

“If it might be me who misjudged.” She laughs.

We were just talking about things that were not important after that. When Ryuga said there was something he wanted to do, we finally decided to leave the room together.

Outside I was immediately greeted with a dazzling light coming out of the image, in short they were taking pictures. It's just that the numbers aren't as many as before, I mean the crowd, maybe because we talked for a long time inside, so they got bored. And of course that's what I'm looking for, but I don't think there's anyone waiting outside.

Unlike me who was confused, Ryuga addressed them calmly, he was already like an artist being chased by journalists. Lucky for Ryuga's whereabouts, everyone pulled over when he realized he was about to pass. While I just follow because this is already like an interview, these people are creepy.

When Ryuga and I split up, there were some people who had surrounded Ryuga while I was being chased. Why chase, because now I'm running away.

They're really creepy, I don't think about why they're so curious about my problems. Unfortunately I was very fast, so just running around outwitting them was enough to let me loose. It just so happened that I was hiding in the cafeteria now, all of you were intending to buy something. Luckily no one was suspicious of my presence here, so I was able to take a quiet breath and then sit down on one of the chairs.

Behaving normally, I started reading the food menu. All I chose was a sweet treat and a cold drink. After ordering it directly to the front— chose to pay it early—lthen back again sitting in the original place, I waited a while until someone came to bring it. In other words different as Ryuga time, actually can also use a way like this, I know that because the person had said, “Well, wait at your table.”

Yeah, that's exactly what he said so I'll just wait. Actually it is rather unique to the way to order it, which uses rote in my opinion. But instead of thinking about it, I finally got my order, a little girl delivering it.

Everyone certainly knows how enjoyable it is to drink ice after tired of activities. Although that one cannot be said to be exhausting, still I ate everything that had been ordered with all my heart. After the bread was finished, I sat facing around while drinking my drink. All it looks like is a bunch of busy people with their mouths just like me, just nothing?!

I accidentally saw Sherly coming. Right now he was looking for someone, of course with his cold and sharp face. But I chose not to hide, and it caught me so much that he walked towards me.

“You're disgusting.”

“Ya, I know.”

But unexpectedly, the look in his eyes that saw that I was a disgusting creature was gone. All that's left of him now is someone who is hard to approach where his coldness can make you freeze.

When he finally raised his face back towards me, we looked at each other, and I saw a beauty I had never seen. To be honest, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

“I suggest that you don't see Grizelle again,” she said.

“Why?”

“You are stupid, but without me even explaining you should be able to know.”

Look, I thought his mouth was as sharp as his eyes. But I like it when he's talking, it's very tempting. It seems that Ryuga did misjudge me, because I would be very difficult to hold it if that time who was in Grizelle's position was Sherly. But I don't think about loving her, because for now she belongs to Ryuga.

“She where now?”

“You're disgusting.”

“Yes, I know. So where is Grizelle now?”

“I told you not to see him again.”

Even though we looked this close for a long time, I felt even more comfortable now. If we compare it, obviously we're the opposite, I mean, different from Sherly, I just kind of humored her when she looked at me sharply.

“What Sherly will enter school tomorrow?”

“He will be in.”

“Then tomorrow I will also enter.”

Sherly exhaled hearing my words. Of course I knew he would not accept it, even so I wanted him to accept my existence.

Just like Ryuga, if I can be friends with him, then my collapsed dream can reappear and be easy to realize. Thinking about it in any way was obvious that Sherly's existence would help me create my own existence. Previously it had been proven how great he was when he managed to make many people crowd just for his sake.

I wondered what the main reason why he and Ryuga were so popular was because they were amazing. They have exceeded the name of class idols, maybe even school idols.

“I told you not to see him again. If tomorrow I see you at school, then you really will never forgive.”

“Then what about my school?”

“Who cares.”

“... It's nasty.”

I knew he hated me so much, and with him willing to put his pride aside in order to convey what he thought was right, made me rethink to follow his request only.

“But, Sherly, if I don't do anything, then something bad will reoccur. Even if comparing it, what I did to Grizelle was still much better than you think.”

“What is it?”

“I can't say.”

After all, I don't want a person who has no business like him to know. Because what I want to reveal is not something that can be easily digested by human reason and mind. Meanwhile, if it intersects with the world I mean, then various bad things will come if not do the provisions properly. And of course I don't want it to happen, let alone hit it. Even though I don't like Sherly because she always foils my every plan, I still can't let her show her role here. Other than to keep him out of danger, I also didn't want him to interfere with a plan I had made inside my head.

But since I didn't answer her question, she slightly showed an annoyed face even though it was only temporary.

“Then I still won't let you meet with Grizelle.”

“But, Sherly—“

He stood up from his seat before I finished my defense. As she walked away a few steps, I took the time to call her name, so she turned her head towards me again.

“Can we talk about this again next time? I have something to say to you.”

He was silent for a moment and then again showed the expression he should have shown.

“You're really disgusting.”

After that he left by leaving the usual sentence out of his mouth just like that. I just left a while later.

For now there is nothing else I want to do in school, the original intention is also to eliminate boredom if only at home, in the end even become chaotic. So now I really decided to go home.

Just to be sure, I stopped by the cafe where Grizelle works. However, I guess he's not here. Besides the place I was making the place to stop, there was another possibility about where Grizelle was now just in her house. I don't think he chose to change residence to avoid me, because I'm also sure that he knows the fact that I don't know him completely yet, I mean his home address.

So by just finishing the non-fulfilling dessert, I went straight home without stopping again somewhere else.
