“What the heck. So now I’m supposed to take a class with Lehman for an entire semester?”
Grumbling a little to herself, Reina picked a spot that’s some distance away from the group and huddled close to the ground, her expression serious.
“No, but really. Why’s the epidemic spreading every day?”
The Pluntria Empire was a land that had the blessing of the dragonfolk, and it was certainly close to what could be called paradise on earth. Although there were some epidemics that had also spread far back in the past, they weren’t this bad.
But the epidemic this time was spreading so severely these days.
“Haa… It’s bothering me for some reason.”
Mulling over what could be causing it, Reina clicked her tongue. However, at that moment, some commotion around Lehman grew louder.
“Wait. Don’t touch it.”
“That’s poison… isn’t it?”
Poison? Reina turned her head unconsciously.
But sure enough, weren’t Lehman and the crowd around him also looking at her?
“……?”
Eyy, no way. Really, no way.
Were they casting suspicion on her just because there’s poison?
There’s so many people in this world who could handle poison besides the people of House Chantra anyway…
“Ah…”
…No, not a lot, yeah.
Of course, of course. There’s not a lot.
Again, to reiterate, this was a world of magic.
Thus, magic replaced not only medicine, but also science and technology. There’s no need for anyone to use poison except for assassinating someone.
“Reina.”
One person near Lehman snarled her name. She was the only poison wielder in this place.
“Huu…”
Poison as an attribute was not rare but certainly not common. And thus, the only person who could have used it in this place was her.
However, wasn’t it too hasty of them to conclude that she was the culprit? Unless their brains were as smooth as the sky, they’d think that it’s much too obvious for her to release poison since she’d be the only suspect. So, how could she have openly wielded it?
Standing up on her feet, Reina patted off the dirt on her hands.
“Are you suspecting me?”
“Then, is there anyone else besides you who’d do this?”
As if Reina’s question in itself was ludicrous, all the people opposing her stood standoffishly in front of her. As the guy who spoke glared daggers at her, Reina smiled in vain.
She already decided on this before.
They’re going to say this or that about her and criticize her anyway, so if she had to retort, she’d best say whatever she had to say without any hesitation.
“Friend.”
As she arrived in front of them, Reina tilted her head to the side and asked.
“Do you wear your brain just as a decoration?”
“…What?”
It was certainly absurd to hear such a thing from Reina. After all, she’s notorious for being the poster child for ‘wearing a brain as decoration’.
“Do you have any right to say such a thing to me?”
“Oh? Then tell me, how did you come to that conclusion? You’d do that only if your brain really is just an accessory.”
Tapping one finger against her cheek, she said this straightforwardly to the person whose face had turned bright red.
“Now that I think about it, I’m the only one here who can wield poison.”
“Yeah, and that’s why you—”
“Yes, exactly. I’m the only one who can wield poison, so it’s obvious that everyone will start suspecting me, just like you.”
“……”
“But, why in the world would I use poison to kill Lehman’s plants? Anyone can tell that, in a situation like this, I’m the first person to be suspected.”
At her line of logic, everyone in Lehman’s group promptly shut up.
“See? You all think so too, yes?”
As the person who tried to corner Reina grew quiet, she stared at Lehman this time.
“If something like that happened with poison, don’t you think you should suspect that someone is trying to frame me?”
At this, everyone’s beloved—who seemed so delicate that he’d collapse after just one hit—took a step forward. Soon after, an oh-so-pitiful question flowed out of Lehman’s lips.
“Reina… What on earth have I done so wrong to you?”
Now, what kind of creative nonsense was this guy spouting?
“Haa… What are you on about this time?”
“Why… Why do you do this to me all the time? Did I ever slight your feelings before?”
Laughter spilled out of her automatically. She had so much to say, and she wanted to list down many of her sound arguments, but unfortunately, she was speechless right now.
‘I don’t get it. Why do I have to suffer the wrath of these villains…’
She knew well enough that she was being attacked here, but she’s so dumbfounded that she couldn’t help but laugh.
As Reina scoffed more, Lehman swept a hand over his eyes tiredly.
“I was just… I was just going to let it slide.”
Everyone’s very dear beloved, whose lips were quite beautiful, enunciated each syllable of this statement slowly as though he was calming down his rising tears.
“Even if you always tried to get me in trouble… I thought… I thought we could still be good friends…”
“Oh?”
That’s what Reina’s supposed to say, not him.
“Was it because I went to Cressen?”
At this, the people around Lehman began to murmur as if they already knew about it.
Then, looking as if the whole situation was getting too much for him to endure, Lehman clenched his hands into fists.
“Or… Or is it really because I’m closer to the other children of the nine families compared to you?”
Lehman looked up at Reina with an expression that was filled with utter grief, and he begged.
“Please… I’m having such a hard time, so please… Just please stop it already.”
Watching the performance of everyone’s beloved, Reina shifted her posture obliquely.
“You guys aren’t even religious fanatics or whatever… Say, Lehman. Are you done now?”
To reiterate once again— Reina would no longer just stand idly and let herself be trampled.
If she’s going to get cursed at, then they should just get cursed at together.
