Give Up

"Why am I here again?" 

Before I knew it, I was in the cave again. Because of the deep mist, I still can't see anything. 

[Kill you...](???)

I heard the same voice again. The voice is enough to make my body tremble. I could see those eyes again. 

[I will kill youuuuuuuu](???)

I felt like I would die. I know that sensation. His roar is enough to make me pissed at my pants. I can see the same scene. A hand is coming toward me. 

Help me. Please let me go. Please let me go. 

It grabbed my neck. It hurts. I can't breathe. 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆ 

"Aaaaaaaaaaa"

I suddenly shouted. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the class. 

"What happened, Seiren? Have you seen a nightmare? You should bring a pillow to the class. You won't concentrate on studying either way. So, at least sleep comfortably."(Sensei)

"Hahaha hahaha"(Everyone)

"Sorry." 

"Now then, let's concentrate on the class. As you guys know, we live on a planet called 'SORE'. Our Moonland kingdom was created by King Johan Moonlight. He was a SSS-Class adventurer. An official adventurer will give you a lecture about adventurer. So,  don't ask me any questions about that topic."(Sensei)

Oh,  an official adventurer will come here to instruct us. Maybe it's during practical class. 

"Where was I? Oh, in our kingdom, the king holds the most authority. After that, there comes five great noble houses. You people know them as five great dukes. After that, it is high level noble, mid level noble and lastly, low level noble. People call them 'Three Level Nobles'. They work for the duke's family. You can say they are vassals of duke house. Seiren's family is a low-level noble, right? Which house do you guys serve?"(Sensei)

"Blackforest house."

"Sensei, I have a question."(Limon)

"What?"(Sensei)

"Sensei, if he is a noble, then what is he doing here? It is a school for commoners. Besides, we only accept awakened students. How did he end up here? " Limon asked Sensei.

"Don't you understand? He is using his family's power. He is only good at that. He is showing off that he is a noble."(Mob boy-01)

"Yeah, he is a freak after all."(Mob girl-02)

"Stop, you guys. I have said from the beginning that he has circumstances. I don't want to hear anything else about this topic. "(Sensei)

Yeah, they really hate me. That's the usual reaction towards me. Well, let's leave this topic. 

Let's continue thinking about a noble family. In this modern century, the power of a noble is disappointing day by day. There are several reasons for that. The first problem is money. Most noble houses are already in danger because of the downfall of their businesses. In this case, there are some companies owned by commoners that are gaining more and more power. Because most of the nobles have awakened being. They often try to fight in the dungeon. Most of them die there. 

But still, in our country, nobles still hold the most power. It is mainly because of this great noble system. In this system, 'The Three Level Nobles' work as a vassal of a duke's family. The Duke family would also support them in terms of business. But there are some 'Three Level Nobles' who don't want to be under someone else. So,  they often act independently. The royal family do control them though. 

*Ding *Ding *Ding *Ding *Ding 

The bell is ringing. Which means it's lunch break. After the teacher left the class, Limon came towards me. 

"I want to talk with you in private. Come with me. I have borrowed the key to the rooftop."(Limon)

"O-okay." 

I tried to follow him. 

"Where are you guys going? Don't tell me a confession?"(Mob boy no-02)

"Hell, no. I have something to tell him privately. That's all."(Limon)

"If you ever feel like dumping Yukino-san, please inform me first. I will console her."(Mob boy- 01)

"Don't even think about it. Yukino is mine and mine alone."(Limon)

Hearing that, everyone went silent. Yukino blushed. 

We left the class. The rooftop key was with Limon. I don't know how he managed to get it. 

But it's really nice. The air on the rooftop is fresh after all. Air feels so good here. I untied my hair. The air feels so good that I feel like my hair is flying. 

In case you're thinking, yeah, I do have long hair. For some reason, mother doesn't want me to cut my hair. Because of that, I do look more and more like a girl. I even have a name like a girl. Geez,  I don't know what's going on. 

"Seems like you're enjoying yourself." (Limon)

"Y-yeah." 

"It's been a while since we have been talking. I mean alone."(Limon)

"Yeah, I guess. You stopped talking to me ever since we entered high school." 

"I guess you're right. You know that I am officially dating Yukino, right?"(Limon)

"Yeah." 

"Then you should congratulate me. It's normal, right? Everyone congratulated us. Except from you."(Limon)

"You want me to congratulate you?" 

"Isn't it obvious?"(Limon)

So, he just wanted me to congratulate him? What's with him? He knows that I like Yukino. He should at least know that it is one of the most difficult things to do. 

"Hey, I am getting mad now."(Limon)

"Why?" 

"That's what I want to ask you. I am saying that Yukino is my girlfriend now. Why don't you just give up?"(Limon)

Limon yelled at me. 

"I...." 

*Punch 

Before I could start talking, he punched my face. 

"What's the problem with you? You stare at her like a creep. I really do hate you. You just look like a maiden in love. I can't bear seeing you these days."(Limon)

*punch 

He punched my face again. 

"Listen, stop staring at others things. From now on, she is mine. I don't want a creep like you to stare at her. I freaking hate that smile of yours when you're looking at her. It makes me jealous."(Limon)

*Punch 

He punched my abdomen. It hurts. I fell down to the floor. 

*Kick 

He kicked at my pin*s. 

"Just admit defeat and say that 'Yukino is my sister-in-law.'"(Limon)

"Y-yukino is your sister-in-law." 

*Kick 

He kicked my face. Some blood is coming through my nose. 

"Don't even think I am joking. We used to be friends. Not anymore. I said give up on her." (Limon)

"I-I don't think I-I can. Sorry." 

*Kick 

He again kicked at my abdomen. It hurts like hell. But why can't I just give up? 

"Listen you f**king ba**ard, I am saying just give up on her. Just give up. Just give up."(Limon)

*Kick *kick *kick 

"Gwa"

I split the blood. 

"Limon, what are you doing? Just stop. He will die if that goes on."(Yukino)

Before I knew it, Yukino was in front of me. She was trying to save me. She is really a good girl. 

"Let me go Yukino, I will kill that ba**ard."(Limon)

"Sensei is looking for you. She will find out that you're doing something like that. Let me handle him. You should just go."(Yukino)

"No I won't. I won't leave you with him."(Limon)

*kiss 

Suddenly, Yukino kissed Limon. Limon calmed down.

Yukino hugged him in front of my eyes. I don't want to see them anymore. It must be a nightmare. I will wake up soon. I am sure of it. I *snob don't wanna see this nightmare again. That demon was 100 times better. 

"You see,  it was my first kiss. You can understand how much I love you, right? So, believe in me."(Yukino)

"Okay, if you said so." (Limon)

He kissed her in front of me. Then he smiled at me. It's a smile that villains often give when they win against mc. I can understand now that he is not my friend anymore. He leaves the rooftop. 

"Sorry, Seiren-san. He easily gets jealous. He was manly, right"(Yukino)

"Why?" 

"Huh!?"(Yukino)

*Snob *snob *snob 

"Why is it Limon not me?" 

"Oh, that? It's simple. You're not manly enough."(Yukino)

"Then why did you comfort me that day? I thought you..." 

Before I could finish my line, Yukino replied 

"That day!? Oh, the first day of school. I thought a girl was crying. That's why I tried to console you."(Yukino)

She thought I was a girl! No wonder she was kind to me. 

"You see, Seiren-san. Just give up on me. I just can't see you as a person of my opposite gender." Yukino explained to me.

Yukino started leaving the rooftop.

She stopped in front of the gate and said, 

"Give up." 

*Cracked 

Hearing her voice, I feel like something cracked in my heart. 

She vanished into the thin air. I can't see her anymore. 

I am really thinking, why was I born in this unfair world? She was my last hope. I feel like dying. I really want to die. 

I really am cursed.....
