Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 31 - Writing a Memory

The season changed very quickly, not feeling now almost into autumn. Liyuna, who is content to spend her summer vacation, must return to school. Incidentally, the first hour is a swimming lesson.

Yvette invites Liyuna to change into a swimming uniform in the dressing room. After that they entered the indoor swimming pool at the school. Their swimming teacher was waiting by the pool with a whistle.

"Everyone, let's march!" The complete swimming teacher orders wearing swimsuits and swimming glasses on his head.

All the 2nd graders followed the orders of the swimming teacher, they lined up neatly and sorted according to height. Liyuna and Yvette, who were about the same height, stood next to each other.

"Today, we're going backstroke swimming. From 1 to 5 absences, enter the pool massage according to the specified."

Students with absentees mentioned began to enter the pool, they followed the swimming teacher's orders carefully. Because they are still 2nd grade SD, the swimming pool they use is not too high so it is safe to be made to practice.

The swimming teacher gave instructions by having his students face the pool wall, then he asked them to hold the edge of the pool with both of their hands and raise their bodies with both feet on the pool wall. After that their feet should kick the wall and the body is straightened parallel to the pool and both feet slightly flapping so they can float.

When all students managed to float with backstroke swimming, the swimming teacher asked everyone to practice the movement continuously until the lesson is over because after that will be assessed.

Liyuna who quickly learned, got almost perfect grades. While Yvette who is not very good at sports gets unsatisfactory grades. Liyuna tried to comfort him.

"It's okay, Yvette."

"Yuna can always do anything." Yvette said in a very lethargic voice.

They walked to the dressing room to change uniforms, but before that they bathed first so that the body was clean of chlorine water.

After that, Liyuna and Yvette returned to the class to continue their next lesson, which was the language lesson. Yvette who was very proficient with the lesson had a slightly improved feeling. Liyuna was also happy to see Yvette back as usual.

Time goes by very quickly, the bell for rest has rung.

"Let's go to the cafeteria!" Take Yvette with gusto. He had forgotten that before his heart felt a little sad for not being too proficient in sports lessons.

Approving Yvette, Liyuna immediately left the classroom and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Yuna, yesterday's news was very surprising, yes." Yvette said on the sidelines to eat.

Liyuna who understood the direction of Yvette's conversation also agreed. The news of the killing of the Havelian Park bomber is both shocking and frightening. Based on Liyuna's knowledge since there was in the Red String world, the Elish City was a fairly safe city and it was impossible for such an incident to happen. But apparently, he misjudged. A city as peaceful as Elisien could also happen such a dangerous incident, it seemed like no one was truly safe in this world. What's more considering the fact that Liyuna always dies in the game makes her even more worried. Fortunately, he was not caught up in the big incident.

"True, it's a good thing we survived."

"Right, I also never expected something like this to happen in Elisien."

The two of them immediately finished the food on the tray. After that Liyuna and Yvette had to split up because the homeroom teacher called Yvette to the teacher's room. Liyuna, alone, decided to buy chocolate-flavored ice cream and eat it under a shady tree in the schoolyard.

He took shelter under the shadow of a tree so that the sun would not hit his body directly.

It had been a year since he had been in this world. Liyuna had started to adapt well and started to come out of her shell. He tries his best to get used to the environment and familiarize himself with the people nearby. Liyuna had already started to feel that she was truly a person from this world.

His body that had once been extremely weak was gradually starting to improve. During the summer he was not feeling dizzy as before and he started to try to exercise regularly every morning so that his body can become healthier.

The fact that Liyuna has a weak and sickly body is real. Although in the game never mentioned that Liyuna is a woman who is easily sick and has a weak body, the 18-year-old girl who now possessed her body had already felt how painful it was when Liyuna's body fell ill. Once, he had a high fever just because he was too tired to study. At that time his body felt like he had been hit with a boxing glove. Although he was initially unfamiliar with such a body, he was now able to adapt. Liyuna's body had also started to improve compared to one year ago.

Right now all he had to do was wait until the prologue started.

Liyuna unwrapped the ice cream and stuffed the ice cream into her mouth. As the seasons were about to change, he had to cut down on cold foods so as not to get sick. When Liyuna's body fell ill in the fall or snow, it felt really uncomfortable because her body would be at its weakest and sometimes had to have her body fitted with an infusion tube to include nutrients.

Liyuna raised her head, staring at the tree leaves that looked extremely dense. The sunlight entered from the cavities of the leaves that could not cover each other, making Liyuna's eyes slightly glare.

The world suddenly felt like it was stopping. The shadow of a boy sitting under the lauriel kamfer tree again reached Liyuna. He was the boy he had previously seen when he accidentally saw a painting last summer. Although the shadow of that person reappeared, Liyuna still could not see his face. His face was like covered in a thick black fog that could not be pierced by the sun. In the depths of his heart, he knew that what he had seen all this time must have meaning. The real Liyuna must have been trying to tell him something.

But for now, though, he did not know what his vision meant and could only write what he saw into the small notes he started to carry everywhere after such images just started to appear.

As the boy's shadow began to fade, Liyuna wrote it down into the notepad. So far, he has seen the shadow of the boy twice in the near future. He had thought that the boy was a childhood friend of Liyuna, but all that was impossible because in the shadow that he saw Liyuna's age was no more than eight or nine years. He was sure that the age of Liyuna he saw was no less than that, so it was impossible that she was Liyuna's childhood friend.

Shadows like this are sometimes quite disturbing because they just cross without knowing what the trigger is, so for now Liyuna just chose to write what she saw into the notes and try not to think too much about it. He was sure that one day the answer would come by itself.

Time passed, everything seemed to happen just like that and the day that had been waiting for arrived.

Little Yuriel had entered into Liyuna's palace.
