A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched

Volume 7

Chapter 3-Chris and Marin

(TL:By Rafael)

One day, a boy fell in love with a girl.

　

　He was born at the end of a family where emotions are considered unnecessary, and he has lived his life believing that this is how it should be, but there was an unexpected event that changed it all.

　

　Such an irregular event that came without any warning.

　

　It happened by chance when the boy was just walking around the mansion.

"Is that ......?"(Chris)

　

　There was a child walking around with a lot of books.

　

　It wasn't until a little later that he realized that it was the daughter of the house. At that time, the boy only thought that she was going to fall down.

　

　He didn't intend to pay any attention to her, but he couldn't ignore her when she came from the direction he was going. So he called out to the girl.

"Can I carry it............?"(Chris)

"Oh, thank you very much, ......!"

　

　The boy held up a few books.

　

　But he couldn't see the girl's face.

"Where are you going with these books?"(Chris)

"A little further, to my room. ......!"!

　

　Hearing this, he started walking.

　

　

On the way, the boy noticed something and asked:

 "A book on healing magic, ....... Does it make sense for a child to read it?"(Chris)

　

　All of the books he was carrying were difficult reading material that would make even an adult tilt his head. He wondered if such a young girl would be able to look through them and understand them.

　

　To the boy, at least, it seemed futile.

　

　Because all he had in him was a great sense of resignation.

　

　

　He was not born or raised well, and his efforts were futile.

　

　The fact that he was born into a family of assassins cast a deep darkness over his mind.

"I'll be the one to decide if it makes sense or not!"

"Huh ......?"(Chris)

　

　But then...

　

　The girl staggered and said:

"The result of hard work always exists. Still, it is up to the person to find meaning in it. I'm only halfway there, but someday ......!"

　

　After nodding widely, the girl finally showed her face and smiled.

　

　And then she said: 

"One day, I will be recognized by many people. ......! --And."

　

　There was not a speck of cloud in her eyes.

　

　The light of faith for her belief in the future was so bright.

"..................A!"(Chris)

　

　The boy was fascinated.

　

　And at the same time, he was longing for it.

　

　It was only a matter of time before it would turn into crush, and then sublimate into love.

　

　That's how full of hope the girl-Marin's smile was.

"Do you have any dreams?"(Marin)

"Dream ......?"(Chris)

　

　The boy, Chris, made a dumbfounded sound at the sudden question.

　

　However, even if he took the time to think about it, there was no answer.

　

　Because he didn't have any dreams.

"Surely, one day you will also have a dream!　Let's try to make it come true!"(Marin)

　

　Marin said, and started walking again.

　

　Chris was a little behind, and followed her.

　

　

　

　It was a nostalgic memory, the original scene of the meaning of life in Chris's mind.

◆

Chris walked to Marin's room.

　

　Chris stood in front of Marin's room and thought back to it.

　

　Since that day, the boy's dream, his goal, had been set.

"Young lady. I will definitely take care of you..."(Chris)

　

　After saying that much, he suddenly put his hand over his mouth and coughed.

　

　But then, what was in the boy's hand was a clot of blood.

".................."(Chris)

　

　With cold eyes, he gazed at the clot on his own hand.

　

　He wiped it off with a hand towel and put it away.

　

　Chris then walked off as if nothing had happened.

TL Note- Every villain is a hero of his own story and ....Cleo was second in love too...the irony.
