It’s overwhelmingly comfortable when the female lead goes dark.
#74
Daisy stared at the thick wolf’s front paw resting in her palm, then withdrew her hand.
[Whimper…….]
The wolf cried out with a disappointed expression.
But that expression didn’t last long.
This was because Daisy extended her palm and spoke.
“Shake.”
Tap!
“Sit.”
Thump!
“Down.”
Whoosh.
The eyes of the black wolf lying down shone brightly, as if gazing at something precious.
Daisy unconsciously reached out and scratched the wolf vigorously.
“Good boy. Good boy.”
[Hehehehe!]
The wolf made a strange whining sound as it laughed.
At the sight, Daisy burst into laughter despite herself.
“So this is what you wanted.”
[Hehack!]
After sitting down for a long while and petting the wolf, Daisy suddenly murmured softly.
“……I thought I just drew something weird.”
Looking at eyes that saw only her, something felt strange.
Her heart tickled in an odd way.
“This really is a strange creature…….”
With her face buried in the wolf’s long black fur, Daisy had an intuition.
She too would eventually give her heart to this strange bird, just as the original Daisy had done with Elizabeth.
Just as the original Daisy had.
So then…….
“……I’m glad.”
After a moment of silence, Daisy whispered softly.
“That you can change as you please.”
No matter what happens to me, you’ll be able to escape.
[Hehack.]
Daisy gently stroked the feathers on the head of the bird, which had shifted back to its avian form, and spoke.
“Alright. I’ve decided on your name.”
[Squawk!]
The bird’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as it jerked its head up eagerly.
“Your name is…….”
As her heart swelled with warmth, Daisy felt herself melting uncontrollably and continued.
“Kkam-soon-i.”
[…….]
That was true.
Naming skills and emotional moments were separate matters.
It was then.
“Ahem.”
A stifled sound came from behind the clearing.
Daisy and Kkam-soon-i spun around in alarm.
Between the white trees, a head of raven-black hair caught her eye—hair she couldn’t believe she’d somehow missed until now.
There was only one person at Eldvain Academy with hair quite that dark.
“Felix Ardearon?!”
At Daisy’s call, Felix emerged with his usual blank expression.
“You… how long have you been there?!”
“Just arrived.”
“Just arrived when?!”
At Daisy’s question, Felix remained silent for a moment before speaking.
“……’Turn into a polar bear.'”
You bastard, you’ve seen everything from the start.
* * *
“…….”
“…….”
The standoff between two people and one jay in the clearing of Seymour Forest didn’t last long.
One of them had rather limited patience.
“This won’t do.”
Daisy clenched her small fist firmly.
“Bite down hard and just bear with it a moment. Once you wake up from passing out, your memories should be wiped clean.”
“Memories don’t disappear that way, Daisy Sable Hart.”
“At the very least, they’d develop enough sense of caution not to go around carelessly mentioning someone capable of inflicting this much pain.”
“…….”
That… was a fair point.
Felix nodded at Daisy’s rather logical argument.
But he had no intention of taking the punch as offered.
Not when he recalled the strength in her grip.
“I’m not planning to tell anyone.”
“How am I supposed to believe that?”
“Since my own Summon is more problematic than denigrating someone else’s.”
“What?!”
At Felix’s words, Daisy flared up in anger.
It seemed that much wouldn’t be enough.
Just as Felix was about to offer another reason, it happened.
“Why is Soon-dol a problem! Where would you find a sweeter creature than Soon-dol!”
Ah, so that was the issue…….
“……I’d wager you’re the only one in the entire school who thinks that.”
“It’s because no one’s ever really looked closely!”
Felix didn’t believe that careful observation would make that enormous wolf appear cute, but he chose not to voice the thought.
Instead, he said this:
“And besides, there’s no one to tell in the first place.”
“What do you mean there’s no one to——!”
“…….”
“……I see.”
Right—you’re a promising budding villain, after all. Really now.
Daisy rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
Watching her, Felix turned away without hesitation.
“Well, that’s it.”
“Wait.”
“……What is it?”
“While you’re here, tell me what you think. In your view, what is this jay……?”
[Screeeaaak!]
“……What do you think Kkam-soon-i is?”
[Chirp.]
Felix watched as the jay shrieked at “this jay” but nodded contentedly at “Kkam-soon-i.”
“Even you can see it’s not just a jay, can’t you?”
“…….”
Certainly not.
Felix recalled the moment the jay had transformed into a cat, then a viper, and then a wolf.
No animal in this world shifted form like that.
This was less an animal and more…….
“Felix?”
Felix lifted his head at the sound of Daisy calling his name.
Daisy and the jay were both looking at him with hope in their eyes.
They resembled each other.
Thinking that, Felix shook his head.
“……I don’t know.”
No matter how heartless he claimed to be, he couldn’t bring himself to speak the word that had crossed his mind before those eyes.
“I figured as much. Sigh—I’ll need to spend some time rummaging through the Library.”
Daisy sighed as she spoke.
“I could ask Monica Raoli—something might come of it—but she’s too perceptive. She’d figure out it’s my Summon the instant I tried to explain. And she’d definitely sell that information for a tidy profit.”
That would certainly be troublesome.
“Before she does, I’ll have to sell it for a higher price myself.”
“…….”
“Why, what.”
“…….”
The Sable Heart Countess… didn’t she have quite a bit of money?
It was then that Felix tilted his head in puzzlement.
Rustle, rustle.
The sound of something approaching grew louder, and then it suddenly emerged between the white trees.
[Grrrraaagh! (Who’s there?)]
“Argh! Not again!”
The moment Daisy recognized what it was, she seized Kkam-soon-i from where it perched on her shoulder as if it were a baseball and hurled it forward.
“Go! Kkam-soon-i!”
Screech, thwack!
The black bird shot through the air like an arrow and tore across the polar bear’s lower jaw.
[Grrrrk! (profanity)]
As the polar bear staggered, Daisy grabbed Felix’s hand and shouted.
“Run!”
“…….”
The grip of the hand that seized him was so crushing that Felix forgot to mention that the polar bear had just completely passed out.
* * *
“Huff, insane, huff, the Academy… there’s still a polar bear, gasp, still around…….”
Daisy arrived at the front of the bear dormitory and bent forward, breathing heavily.
“…….”
Felix said nothing, watching her.
He only stared down at his hand, which was still being held.
“That won’t do. I’ll have to stay away from Seymour Forest for a while.”
[Chirp.]
“Oh, Kkam-soon-i, you’re back,”
Smack!
Daisy straightened up from her bent posture and instinctively released Felix’s hand, then struck the bear that had appeared before her across the cheek.
The bear, its thick forepaw pressed against its cheek, spoke with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
[Chirrup.]
“Oh, so it’s you, Kkam-soon-i.”
Sorry, sorry.
Felix opened his mouth as he watched Daisy gently pat the cheek she had struck.
“So you’ve learned the bear form as well.”
“Oh, right.”
Daisy looked afresh at the black bear before her.
Whoosh.
The black bear shrank in an instant, transforming back into the small black bird.
[Chirp.]
Felix opened his mouth as he observed the transformation.
“It would be good to show as many forms as you can. You may need them later.”
“Oh, I hadn’t thought of that.”
“You have now. That’s enough. I’ll take my leave.”
Felix offered this unexpected advice and walked into the dormitory without a backward glance.
Daisy stared after his departing figure in a daze before snapping to attention and shouting.
“Hey! Really, don’t tell anyone!”
No answer came back.
Chapter 18. Clubs
“Our adorable, precious little bear cubs! Good morning to you!”
“…….”
“…….”
“If you find greetings tiresome, announcements will be made in the new Labyrinth from now on,”
“Good morning, Supervisor!”
“Right, greetings should be snappy.”
Sparkle, her face radiating warmth as always, flashed a brilliant smile and continued.
“Now then, starting today, first-year students can also participate in club activities!”
“Wow, clubs!”
“There was definitely a club I wanted to join!”
“Do you know which club the Student Council President is in?”
“Wouldn’t Daisy know something about it?”
How would I know, you fools.
Daisy slipped quietly away from her seat to avoid the other students who were glancing around in search of her.
She ended up sitting right next to Felix.
“…….”
“…….”
The two exchanged a greeting with nothing more than a brief glance at each other, then turned their attention back to Sparkle.
Not that she’d had any intention of joining a club in the first place…….
“And every student must participate in at least one club activity.”
I could strangle the Principal right now.
