After nightfall, St. Margaret's School was surrounded by silence like the end of the world. The school and dormitory buildings returned to silence as if they were empty. Dark shadows fell on the garden that was surrounded by trees like a deep forest. Occasionally, bright moonlight would shine through the branches and leaves, but it would be covered by the blue clouds and fall into darkness.
At this time--but it was just after dinner, just after seven o'clock in the evening, which was still early for the night--the students were studying hard in their dormitory rooms. Apart from the senior students who were known as the dorm leaders, who would regularly patrol the rooms of the junior students, the dorm supervisor, who was a school staff, would also check the students 'access in the management room in front of the entrance.
That night, Ye Yuehuan was also sitting at the desk by the window. However, it was not because he wanted to study, but…
The gas lamp hanging on the wall made a "chirp chirp" sound.
Ye Yuehuan's expression was extremely serious.
"…They're here!"
Gazing at the moon outside the window, he finally noticed the darkness outside…Gao Brin. It originated from the textile developed by Jean Gobelin in France in the 15th century. The special feature was the use of various colored lines to cleverly show people, scenery, and other patterns. The curtains were pulled open because of the bright moonlight, and the French floor-to-ceiling windows were also slightly open. Outside…there seemed to be something moving on the dark path.
(Boohoo ~ I didn't let down Liuli and the others.）
Ye Yuehuan opened the French window a little and looked down.
From the small room at the end of the second floor, one could see the grass-covered courtyard and the trees leading to the other end. Although there was some distance between them and the winding dark path, they could still see it clearly.
On the small path…" That thing " was moving at a slow speed.
That thing…
It was a huge suitcase.
The large suitcase used for traveling was actually moving slowly without anyone carrying it. Bit by bit…it only moved about ten centimeters before stopping. After a few seconds, it moved another ten centimeters, and so on and so forth.
"Thump…thump…thump…"
Although it was a distant path, under the hazy moonlight, the strange scene of the suitcase moving gently was clearly reflected in Ye Yuehuan's eyes.
…Victoria is too short!
It seemed to be in the direction of the school gate…
"Thump…thump…thump…"
Night Moon carefully stretched out towards the thick branches by the window.| He attacked. Although Night Moon was not good at climbing trees, she had the mentality of " My attributes are far superior to ordinary people now, so I'll be fine even if I fall down ". She climbed up the tree trunk and climbed down.
Ye Yuehuan walked down the branch step by step. He jumped down the last two meters.
"Slap!"
The tree branches shook and made a loud sound.
Ye Yuehuan got up and crossed the grass, carefully avoiding the sound of footsteps as he slowly approached the dark path.
The suitcase was still thump…thump.
As Ye Yuehuan approached, from behind the suitcase…
As he moved," Thump…Thump…" What appeared was…
A pair of delicate feet.
With buds on my feet| Silk leather shoes. The tassels of the luxurious dress swayed lightly with each movement. The velvet ribbon on the hat fluttered in the night wind.
"Hey, Victoria! Why didn't you call me when you ran away in the middle of the night?"
Ye Yuehuan shouted at the top of his voice as he stood on the grass and looked at the path in the distance.
" Thud…Thud…"
The suitcase stopped moving.
Victoria was startled when she heard the boy's voice. When Ye Yuehuan looked at the back of the suitcase, he realized that she was dragging the huge suitcase slowly with her two small hands.
Victoria didn't seem to want to answer, so Night Moon ran across the grass and approached the path. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the suitcase was very large. If the crafting technique was better, it could even easily contain Night Moon and Victoria.
"Do you think I don't know? He actually ran away in the middle of the night."
"Uh…Uh…"
Victoria seemed to want to say something, but she closed her lips tightly and pretended not to hear him as she continued to drag the suitcase.
"Thump…thump…thump…"
"Are you ignoring me? Was he planning to go there alone? However, the main door is locked and you can't open it. Can you leave without me?”
For students from Saint Margaret's School like Ye Yuehuan, they were not allowed to go out after the time limit, and the gate would be locked. If they were to barge out, they would be grounded on weekends and the school might report it to their parents.
As for Victoria…
There was even a requirement that he needed permission to go out and that he had to bring Gurewin with him. Although it would be fine as long as there was Night Moon Illusion.
But…
“……”
Victoria did not answer Ye Yuehuan's question.
The suitcase was moving at a speed of 15 centimeters per minute towards the main door.
Suddenly, Ye Yuehuan seemed to have thought of something. He had a 'maybe this is fun' expression on his face.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Victoria, who had turned a deaf ear to Ye Yuehuan's voice earlier, seemed to be startled. She turned around with an expression of disbelief.
Ye Yuehuan said with surprise,"
"What, what's wrong?"
“…………！！”
"Can't you speak? Ah, I know. It's tooth decay, right?”
“！？”
Victoria looked annoyed.
"In that case, your cheeks are swollen. Right…Ah, left too."
Victoria frowned and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to shout,""It's no different from usual, okay?？”
Ye Yuehuan didn't notice her expression at all."
"Are you going to see the dental staff? There was no need for such a big luggage. Open it and let me see…Woah! Why are there so many things? A change of clothes, a large mirror, and a chair!？A tea set for ten people, a big vase that could fit you inside…What is this…There's even a camp bed!？Where are you going? It wasn't like they were going to immigrate to the New World. The luggage this time is even bigger than the last time. You really can't learn. A naughty child must be taught a new lesson!”
Ye Yuehuan mumbled non-stop as he started to deal with his luggage. Victoria anxiously waved his limbs and protested in silence. Ye Yuehuan kept arranging the luggage without permission.
"People with toothaches better behave themselves.”
“！？”
Victoria pressed her swollen cheeks with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Listen up, we'll be back as soon as we're done with the dental work. Also, you must never tell anyone about this small hole. Otherwise, it would cause trouble for Avril and the student who dug the hole.”
If Teacher Cecil knew about this, he would definitely say in surprise," Didn't Student Ye Yuehuan already tell me everything?”Alright.
After a few more moments.
With one hand holding Victoria's small suitcase and the other holding Victoria's struggling hand, Ye Yuehuan planned to sneak out through the passage Avril had dug.
He hid Victoria's extra luggage in the woods, went back to his room, took his wallet and coat, picked up a suitcase with luggage, and came over to help her lead the way.
He turned around and looked at Victoria, who was filled with displeasure and worry.
"Ah, this is bad. I forgot!"
He looked at his face with a question that said,"Did you finally remember?"”Victoria and Night Moon pointed at their feet. Dressed in buds| On the feet of her small leather shoes, the pansy buds that were wet and shiny by the night dew swayed by her feet.
"Don't step on the flowers. Teacher Cecil will be sad."
“…………！”
Victoria lowered her head slightly. Night Moon almost burst out laughing when he saw Victoria's action.
As soon as they left the school, Ye Yuehuan held her hand tightly to prevent Victoria from running around. The luggage was unexpectedly heavy and it was quite difficult to carry. However, this extremely smart, rude, and actually almost never left the school Victoria, if she was left alone, who knew where she would run off to. She might get lost, cry because she didn't know how to get a vehicle, fall into an ancient well or an animal trap and be discovered by a strange uncle with a smirk. Then, she would be whipped, handcuffed with candles... In short, she couldn't let such a loli run around.
"Where's the Dentist? Victoria?"
“……”
Victoria began to walk forward in silence.
Ye Yuehuan, who was following behind them, smiled secretly. (Young man, you're black.)
Finally, Victoria arrived at the place where she had been with Ye Yuehuan before-the only station in the village. Little Three| In the middle of the corner roof was a round clock that was emitting light. It was already past seven o'clock.
Ye Yuehuan did not say anything else. He knew where Victoria was going, so he said calmly,
Victoria was expressionless. She just silently held Ye Yuehuan's hand and entered the station. In order to buy a ticket, she shook off Ye Yuehuan's hand. After his hands were free, he told the station staff his destination in a low voice. Ye Yuehuan hurriedly grabbed Victoria's hand."
"Are you angry?"
Just like a child. However, this was what a tsundere loli was!!
“……”
Victoria ignored him and shook off Night Moon. Ye Yuehuan hurriedly told the station staff,"
"Same destination as the girl just now.”
"... to Horovitz?"
"Yes."
Ye Yuehuan hurriedly nodded, took the ticket, paid for it, and caught up with Victoria.
Her small figure had already walked onto the platform. Ye Yuehuan hurriedly caught up."
"Victoria…"
“……”
"Are you angry?"
Victoria still did not answer.
The small platform began to shake as the steam train entered. Stars twinkled in the night sky.
In the distance, other passengers could be seen passing through the ticket gate and entering the platform.
The dark steam train spewed white smoke and arrived at the platform.
The conductor got out of the car and pulled the brass door handle to open the door.
Victoria got on the train, and Ye Yuehuan also followed behind her in a hurry…
The conductor blew his whistle.
The car door closed after a sound.
Victoria sat lightly at one end of the box. Although she was petite, her fluffy breasts were still there.| The silk and lotus leaves occupied two seats. It was as still as a doll, and only its emerald green eyes blinked occasionally.
His expression was heavy, and he looked listless compared to his usual self. However, her round cheeks were as usual, as if she had applied blush, showing a warm rose color.
"…Aiya, is there already someone?”
The door suddenly opened, and a young woman entered the room that Ye Yuehuan and the others were in.
"It's getting late and there are few passengers. It feels so lonely.| Lonely. Can I sit with you?”
Reminds people of the sweet scent of lilac perfume, delicate| " Please go ahead..." Ye Yuehuan said as she raised her head. When she saw Ye Yuehuan's face, she showed an " Aiya " expression.
"What? So it's you."
“……”
The person standing there…
Heavy nun robes. It was a pair of gray blue eyes that reminded one of the dry blue sky in the desert.
It was the young nun who stole the Dresden porcelain plate at the bazaar.
Soon after, Ye Yuehuan and the others got off at a station and took the mountain railway that led to the depths of the mountains.
It was the Abt-style train, which was equipped with toothed rails and gears to climb steep mountains. Unlike the train he had just taken, which lacked exquisite windows, curtains, and other decorations, it looked rather simple. The lighting was also very dim, making people feel that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little.
"Ka dang, ka dang dang-!"
The train started moving slowly.
It swayed left and right.
From the floor came the metallic sound of the gears on the tracks and the train gears.
The carriage was surrounded by a pale light that resembled moonlight. Victoria, who was sitting silently beside him, also turned pale. The lamp hanging on the wall was covered by a bluish-white glass lampshade. The hazy light that resembled moonlight was the light from the wall lamp, and it fell on the two of them.
"…Aiya, what a fortuitous encounter!”
The simple door of the private room where the two of them were in was roughly opened. It was a young woman... the nun who had just taken the same train.
Ye Yuehuan said slowly as if he was taking revenge,"
"What? It's you again."
"Yes, yes. Seriously, where are you guys going?”
His mischievous tone carried a hint of disgust.
Victoria stubbornly remained silent, turning a blind eye to the two of them. It was obvious that when the two of them were talking, they gradually became more and more awkward. He had thought that her cheeks were swollen, but upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that her cheeks were bulging. Ye Yuehuan was confused and could not help but tease her.
The nun who sat down in front of them made Ye Yuehuan look embarrassed.
(Am I teasing Victoria in front of her? Or was he flirting with Victoria in front of her? Or should he teach Victoria in front of her?）
As if they had discovered the strange aura around Night Moon, the nun and Victoria could not help but retreat.
After calming down, Ye Yuehuan felt bored and could only look out of the window to divert his attention.
However, it was dark outside, and he couldn't see anything at all…He could only retract his gaze.
He casually glanced at the nun sitting in front of him.
The wall lamp emitted a pale light like moonlight, swaying left and right according to the frequency of the train's shaking. Her blue and gray eyes looked healthy, bright, and feminine during the day, but now they looked mysterious and strange. The shadow of her eyelashes was cast on her fair, freckled face, making her look particularly slender.
The nun's pale face dimmed as the wall lamp shook. As she watched, she unconsciously felt uneasy.
The nun suddenly spoke in a very cheerful voice, contrary to the strange atmosphere.
"Where are you guys going? If we continue forward, we'll be in the mountains."
"... Yeah."
"Besides, it's so late."
"Where is the nun going?"
“…………”
The nun shut her mouth and stared at Ye Yuehuan's face."
"What about you guys?"
"Well... we're going to Horovitz..."
"Why? You're the same as me. I'm going to Horovitz too. No wonder they took the same train."
“……”
Silence filled the air once again…
Looking at Victoria outside the window, he glanced at the side of the nun reflected in the window. It was only a brief moment of sight, but the nun still noticed it and stared back at Victoria with a stern gaze. However, Victoria, who was supporting her face with her hand, had already returned her gaze to the window. The nun thought for a while and looked away from Victoria's small back.
"My name is Midori. Midori. Abaga. You are?"
"…Night Moon Illusion…"
At some point, the mountain train had crossed the mountains and arrived at its destination.
Horovitz Station.
The small town that was published in the classified advertisement.
