# 45 - 45
* * *
After that day, I went on many walks with Lycian.
The location, of course, was the Central Library.
The “Hall of Wisdom”, filled with the exuberance characteristic of great nobles, showed by its very architecture that an enormous amount of capital had been invested.
“You can tell just by looking at this central square built in the middle of such a huge library.”
The walls of the central courtyard were decorated with colored glass, not plain glass.
Colored pieces of glass formed geometric patterns as they rose to the ceiling.
Lycian and I were sitting on the sofa closest to the stained glass wall.
Although the sunlight was not abundant due to the winter season, the rainbow-colored light filtering through the stained glass still held a charm that brought peace to one's heart.
“I was very angry with the librarian that day.”
Now I think it was fortunate that I was able to solve that problem.
Thanks to that, I wonder if Lycian has opened his heart to me a little.
Otherwise, such outings would be difficult.
I glanced at Lycian.
Lycian was slowly reading a thick book that seemed to be at least 800 pages long.
“It is no coincidence that he was chosen as the best student in the academy.”
How can he read such a small text easily and quickly with extensive reading?
As the sun's rays fell and his silver hair shone divinely, I found myself staring in amazement.
Sure, sure.
They said that he had an angelic beauty that fell from heaven.
It is no coincidence that he is the real male hero of...
This is why most players, without exception, when they first play, begin with the conquest of Lycian.
After watching the ending with Lycian, the real male hero, they then search for their favorites and beat other male heroes to see new endings.
This can be called the official path of.
Simply put, is it everyone's first love?
Of course, there were other common endings as well.
It is the end of Lycian's corruption.
There is also an ending in which you reach the maximum level of affection with Lycian, and then are caught “deliberately” falling in love with another male hero, causing the angelic Lycian to literally lose his mind.
It would be understandable if he lost his mind.
Lycian is exactly what he seems – a silver-haired, beautiful and pure-hearted man.
I looked at him and asked him.
“Lycian.”
“Huh, yeah?”
“Why didn't you respond to my messages?”
The reason I suddenly asked this question was more of a bit naughty.
Anyway, despite having a good personality and being the only person who didn't hate Tullia from the beginning.
Why didn't he respond to the messages I kept sending?
This is correct.
After I owned Tulia and got that damned main mission, I immediately got busy planning and executing.
Maybe it's because I've played this game for a very long time since the time of Han Ena.
My body was moving almost involuntarily. Even during those stressful days, the body doesn't lie, right?
As I sought to curry favor with Grand Duke Fraser, avoid the machinations of the Lilius family, and strategize, I was constantly sending letters to the academy.
The recipients were Lysiane and Leon.
The twins.
But the content of the messages was simple greetings.
Modest inquiries about luxury from a younger sister who is not very close, sentences that exude an awkward air.
But I had no choice but to write it.
Lycian and Leon Fraser.
These twins were among the male protagonists of the Kuriko series.
To achieve the massive difficulty rating of A, I had to max out the affection levels of all the main male characters that appear in.
“Thinking about it, it's a really fraudulent schedule.”
Since I wasn't in a position to deal with things one by one, even while I was busy, I regularly sent letters to the academy every few days.
I even made the contents a little different in case the twins compared the messages they received.
“It's not like there's a camera here, and I don't have a secretary who writes for me.”
I personally wrote it by hand!
Personally handmade!
I wrote two letters to each of us and sent them every three days without interruption!
The fact that I sent Tedric away with just a few letters wasn't just a random skill either!
But no response arrived at all.
I didn't feel bad about it.
To be honest, I thought “well, of course” and kept sending messages like a bulldozer whether I got a response or not.
But when I saw Lysiane looking so calm now, after ignoring all those messages, I suddenly had a malicious suspicion.
“But I, I answered?”
“…Huh?”
“Sent seventeen responses.”
“…But I didn’t receive any?”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Lycian and I exchanged glances simultaneously.
I frowned suspiciously.
“You're not lying, are you?”
“I, I'm not lying...!”
Lycian denied as his face turned bright red.
“Lee, brother Lycian. Welcome. How are you?...Ha.”
Then he began to speak, as if feeling frustrated with himself, so he quickly wrote down the words with a pen on paper.
When I saw the content written in his distinctive, elegant handwriting, my eyes widened.
“This is crazy. Isn't this the content of the letters you wrote?
Did you save all this?
“Brother is truly a genius after all...”
“…It's not that important.”
Then it looks like he actually sent replies.
“They must have disappeared because I moved to a new residence.”
With all these different incidents, the letters must have been lost.
“I never received one.”
Lycian looked at me carefully, then took out a new piece of paper.
Words flow smoothly without hesitation.
“…What are you doing, Lycian?”
When she looked closer, she gasped.
To my dear Tulia.
I hope that you are well.
Send this reply to the message you sent.
I hope you haven't caught a cold...these phrases were carefully written.
“Liziane, don't tell me you're writing down all the replies I never received?”
"Yes."
"Now? All of that?"
Is he crazy?
Why would he suddenly expose himself to such hardship?
“Tu, Tulia. You.”
Lysiane continued speaking, writing with elegant posture.
“You feel pain, don't you?”
“…”
“Okay, okay...”
“…”
“He waited for me for about three hours.”
“…”
“I, I remember all the content.”
“…”
Why do I feel like my heart looks just like a cotton ball?
What is this feeling of suffocation, as if you are drowning in water?
All this because Lysian has silver hair that is as white as snow.
His kindness, falling like the first snow, must have touched my heart and melted.
That's why the atmosphere seems strangely stifling, and then stifling again.
She smiled slowly.
“It's okay, brother.”
I slowly held Lisien's hand as he moved his pen ceaselessly. His hand was warm.
“It's really okay. Because I'm grateful.”
Lycian stared at me intently. He quickly smiled brightly.
“I, I'm grateful too.”
"…Yes."
A little tickling feeling.
While I was smiling, an idea suddenly occurred to me.
Is it possible that Lisian is the person who loves me?
* * *
Thanks to the presence of a star that always follows me, I rarely notice it anymore, as if it were a shadow.
Cute wings that resemble fairy wings.
Body shimmering with golden color.
My status window icon, which looked a bit like a magical girl icon?
I clicked on the status window with my eyes and looked for the main section.
Letters appeared in the air instantly.
Main Content: Repayment of Karma
You are scum!
You have no money, your luck is bad, and everyone hates you!
(Except for one person) No one likes you!
Goal: Achieve “A” rank before the “true rank” appears!
In case of failure: death
Compared to opening the status window frequently, I didn't check the main task window as much.
Because the word “death” was very clear.
The sentence that caught my attention was this one.
(Except for one person) No one likes you!
Except for one person...
My grandfather now cherishes me.
Absolutely.
But it's thanks to my hard work.
Since I have made no effort at all, since Tullia is literally a stupid idler who only enjoys luxury.
Someone has loved Tullia in this world ever since.
Isn't it Lycian?
I was suddenly curious.
These kind and friendly family members were the first I had ever met, even though they were Tulia's blood relatives.
I wanted to check Lysiane's level of emotion.
“But how can I check this?”
The grandfather's affection indicator never showed up when I wanted it to.
It appeared and disappeared on its own.
There seems to be some special criteria, but I haven't figured out what those are yet.
Then it happened.
[System] Would you like to check Lycian Fraser's emotional level?
[System] Lycian Fraser's Personality Importance: ☆☆☆☆☆
'What.'
As if reading my thoughts, letters appeared in the air.
At the same time, unlike Grandpa, Lycian's character received five-star importance.
This makes sense. He is also the main male protagonist of the Kuriko series.
[Yes]
I quickly pressed the [Yes] button with my eyes.
This was synchronized with a small sound effect playing.
A cursor appeared above Lycian's head.
'Huh?'
When I checked the color of the affection index, I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows.
