Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

Looking at Teresa who started to look a little nervous because he noticed their sudden side by side, he just smiled lightly, then stretched out his hand slightly, his eyes full of doting.

But just when he was about to touch the other party, he seemed to realize something, before the other party noticed it, he silently withdrew his originally outstretched palm.

In the end, the two just walked side by side on the road of Saint Freya Academy.

But between each other, there is an estrangement that cannot be described in words, and the estrangement that has not disappeared even now...

------

The silent journey is long, but even after a long journey, there will still be a moment when it comes to an end.

Theresa, who led Otto aimlessly for almost half of the academy, finally had no choice but to lead Otto to her usual office.

"call..."

Looking at Otto who was sitting on the sofa in the office with an unchanged smile on his face, Teresa just panted lightly, and then began to rejoice that she would choose to bring him here.

After all, my messy home in the academy is really not a suitable place to invite guests.

Although this place is not too suitable now...

"Ah, sorry grandpa...I'll make you some tea."

The silent staring lasted for a while, and Teresa, who realized that she shouldn't just sit here with each other, just started to signal and get up immediately, then walked quickly to the desk, and reached out to pick up the An exquisite tea set placed on top.

Although there is an unbreakable gap between myself and the other party, this is not a reason for me to neglect the other party.

In any case, the relationship between oneself and the other party cannot be diluted by any reason at all.

"No need for Teresa, you don't need to do these little things yourself."

Looking at Teresa who was holding a tea set and preparing to leave in a hurry, Otto suddenly stopped the other party's behavior with a loud voice, and at the same time, the smile on his face was also inexplicably mixed with some subtle flaws.

"Let Amber prepare the tea."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes slightly sideways, and moved his gaze to Amber, who was standing calmly beside him.

"Sorry, Miss Teresa."

After receiving Otto's signal, Amber just walked from Otto's side to the front of Theresa who was about to leave, and then leaned over to take the tea set from Theresa's hand, then quickly walked out of the room and stretched out her hand Take the door that was opened by yourself.

"Crack-"

The soft sound of the door closing indicated that there were only two people in the room at this time.

Looking at Otto who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face, Teresa, who had been deprived of the reason for evacuation by Amber, had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit back on the seat opposite the other party. .

The two people who sat down facing each other just looked at each other's faces, like acquaintances who knew each other but met face to face, restrained and alienated.

The short time became extremely long under the influence of silence, as if some couldn't bear the restraint lingering in the air, Teresa had to close her eyes, and then exhaled forcefully, and then met the masked man. Otto smiling and looking calm.

Facing her grandfather, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Teresa just smiled, and then asked the reason why the other party came here on a whim.

"Grandpa came to me this time, what is it for...?"

Even though the smile on Teresa's face was so unnatural at this time, when this unnatural smile fell into Otto's eyes, it was him with a calm expression, and a little joy unexpectedly sprouted in his heart .

The time since the last time I had such a face-to-face conversation with the other party is enough to make this immortal who is three years old feel that it has been a long time.

"It's nothing very important, my dear Teresa."

Otto, who was originally sitting, just leaned forward a little bit after hearing Teresa's question, and then clasped his hands together, with unconcealable care and pampering in his eyes.

"I just want to see you. After all, it's been a long time since we sat face to face and chatted like this, haven't we?"

A little content was deleted and the words mixed with real emotions made the expression on Teresa's face begin to ease a little, and the atmosphere between the two gradually began to have the warmth that should be between relatives sense.

"Thank you, grandpa, for your concern. I'm living a very good life here."

Faced with the care conveyed by her grandfather, Teresa, as a granddaughter, just accepted it readily, but the words she said immediately afterward were a little warmth that had been created with great difficulty between the two, giving It was completely destroyed.

"Actually, another purpose of Grandpa's coming this time should be for him... right?"

Teresa said, and then put her hands on her knees, and then she raised her head to meet the green pupils of the other party who looked at her and were full of care and pampering.

"Yes, Teresa."

Facing the gaze cast by his granddaughter, Otto did not make any pale cover-ups.

He just closed his eyes helplessly, and when he opened them again, most of the care and pampering in them had disappeared.

"Why are you so hostile to someone you've never met, Grandpa?"

"why?"

When he heard the extremely naive words from his granddaughter, Otto couldn't help but feel a little more helpless.

"I'm just afraid that you, who are innocent, will be deceived by those with ulterior motives."

"People with ulterior motives?"

Hearing Otto's evaluation of the other party, Teresa almost couldn't help showing a puzzled expression on her face.

"Teresa, you need to know that every person who tries to get close to you and treats you well at any cost will definitely have a purpose that only he himself will know."

"There is no such thing as being courteous in this world, and judging from your previous evaluation of him, I can only draw such a conclusion."

"I just don't want you, who is kind, to be hurt."

"No grandpa, you are wrong."

Facing the reason Otto told, Teresa just shook her head, and said calmly.

"You don't know him at all. If you can get along with him face to face, and then understand his essence deeply, you will find that he is not the person with ulterior motives that grandpa said."

"Understood? Teresa, you have only been with him for less than half a year. How much can you understand him in such a short time?"

After hearing the words from Teresa, Otto just smiled lightly, obviously sneering at it.

"It doesn't matter whether grandpa believes it or not, or whether he dismisses it."

Facing the other party's reaction that was as expected, Teresa just stood up slowly with a calm expression, and then expressed her opinion to the other party in an unquestionable tone.

"In half a year, I have experienced experiences that I have never been able to compare with in my previous life."

"There are life and death, separation, and even things that even grandpa, you may not have experienced."

"And after going through these things, I can stand here now, with such a positive attitude, to deny your opinion of him."

She stood in front of Otto, looking down at Otto who was sitting on the seat with a condescending attitude, and there was a brilliance in her eyes that the other party had never seen before.

"yes...?"

Looking up at Teresa who was standing in front of him, showing such a firm posture towards him for the first time, Otto just closed his eyes and then leaned back slightly, with a rare tiredness on his face.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, then sat upright, and covered most of his face with his hands.

"Sorry Teresa, can Grandpa be alone for a while?"

"Grandpa wants to be alone, to think about things alone..."

------

"I'm sorry, Lord Otto and Miss Teresa, for keeping you waiting."

Accompanied by the crisp door opening and respectful greetings, Amber, who had left before, returned to Teresa's office with a tea tray in hand.

What surprised her was that Otto was the only one left in the office where there were supposed to be two people.

And Otto, who was staying alone in the room now, just stood in front of the bookshelves placed in the room, and then stared at the books placed in the bookshelves as if contemplative.

"Master Otto, did Miss Teresa leave first?"

After placing the tea tray with the tea set in her hand on the coffee table steadily, Amber just asked Teresa's whereabouts, and then stood respectfully beside Otto, waiting for the other party's reply.

"Amber, you said..."

After hearing Amber's question, Otto just stopped staring at the bookshelf, then turned around, and asked an unexpected question to Amber standing beside him.

"I judge people's ability, right?"

"Ah, Master Otto's ability to see people?"

Facing this sudden question from the other party, Amber was only in a daze for a moment before giving her own answer without thinking.

"Master Otto's ability to see people should be quite accurate."

"Quite accurate..."

Repeating the answer he got from Amber's mouth, Otto just walked slowly to Teresa's desk, and then forcefully opened the drawer under the desk.

"It's still the same as before, nothing has changed."

When looking at the manga that was almost full of the drawer and named the Adventure of Homu, Otto just chuckled, and then took out the passport that belonged to Theresa from his shirt pocket, and then After putting it in the drawer, he pushed back the drawer that he had opened.

"Okay, it's time to accompany Teresa, and Amber..."

As Otto said, he turned around slowly, and set his gaze on Amber who was following behind him.

"Please go and get that gentleman..."

"Please come to me."

Chapter 15

The virtual and real masks dotted with delicate makeup cover the real appearance of the actors. They walk gracefully and have ethereal figures, stepping lightly on the stage that attracts everyone's attention, showing to the world what is attached to the appearance and set in black and white. Set a good look.

Either elegant, or vulgar; or crazy, or indifferent... But there is only one thing that has never changed.

The different actors who climbed to the top of the stage, wear masks to cover their faces, and show the world all kinds of falsehoods, after removing the masks, there is no difference between you and me after all.

It's just that compared with ordinary people, those different actors who dare to wear masks are just a little more courageous.

that's all... nothing more...

------

The long-rehearsed and under-modified play on the stage naturally showed its most elegant side to all visitors as expected.

It's just that for Teresa at this time, the performance in front of her is from her own students, and it can be called an exquisite performance, but it can't make her at this time have any idea of ​​appreciation.

After all, after the previous conversation with Otto, the only thing she could care about at this time was the completely different opinions that belonged to the two of them during the conversation.

"Ugh..."

Recalling the views expressed by the other party before and her own understanding of him, Teresa, who felt powerless, could only sigh helplessly, and then chose to bury herself in the seat that was a little too big for her .
