Love Letter From The Future

1. The First Letter (56)

Tan eyes and aquamarine eyes met in the air. Untimely cold wave and heat were mixed. When the cold and warm fronts met, onlookers scattered around them like a rainy season front.

Celine’s mouth was smiling, but her eyes were cold. Seria’s eyes were also cold.

When the two women, who had been ignoring each other, collided, the atmosphere instantly tightened. Celine put the canteen she was holding back around her waist and slowly walked closer to Seria.

Until then, Seria just stared at Celine without saying anything. Are those the eyes of a predator aiming for prey, or is it just an expression of indifference?

No one has yet been able to figure out the answer. Except for one thing, Seria.

Celine stopped right in front of Seria.

She sighed and put a hand on her waist. Then, as if to appease Seria, he opened his mouth.

“You might not be in a good mood these days, huh? I understand… ‘Cause I feel the same way But if you react sensitively to each one like that, won’t other people feel uncomfortable?”

In other words, it was correct. Except for the fact that Celine also wore a gloomy face.

But now no one was able to point it out. Rather, the onlookers began to silently agree with Celine’s words.

Celine was good at that. Creating an atmosphere and using it to carry through her claims.

So, she was good at human relations. In addition to her unique sociable temperament, Celine’s ability to read the atmosphere was also excellent.

Celine didn’t want to cause friction with Seria right now.

Celine still remembered Ian’s furious anger not long ago. There was nothing worse than fighting with Seria for no reason and if Ian and I broke up even more than now.

Even if it was checked, it was better not to be revealed and not to be noticed by Ian. Above all, Celine did not prefer to reveal conflicts in public places like now.

That’s because it was only a weakness. She hoped that the conflict would be resolved, at least on the outside.

“So let’s understand little by little, Ms. Yurdina… After all, we are in a similar situation, but Ian will hate you if you look too sad.”

Then Celine smiled bitterly.

Who would have known that a woman named Delphine Yurdina would suddenly appear again because of their ‘similar circumstances’.

Still, the attempt to form a consensus with the other party also meant to promote harmony. It was a signal to end it like this. This gave Celine several advantages.

First, he made Seria into a sensitive woman, even though she had the right to be angry. Of course, Seria was a little more hypersensitive than usual, but it was understandable. Celine concluded this as a ‘sensitive reaction’ and tried to protect the woman belonging to the group.

Second, even if conflicts arise in the future, at least in front of Ian, I could claim that ‘I made an effort to reconcile’. When fighting Seria, even if he fought, there was no meaning if Ian’s heart left. She also needed a minimum safety device.

Finally, by encouraging reconciliation first, Celine was able to plant the perception that she is generous to those who watched it. These images could be usefully used when a conflict occurred later.

Everyone is bound to cheer for someone close to them, and dating isn’t something you do alone. The influence of the people around me also worked without knowing it.

As the perception that Celine is better than Seria spreads widely, Celine gains an advantage. I didn’t know how effective it would be though.

That was the conclusion that Celine instinctively came to. The composition of recommending reconciliation was advantageous to her in many ways. And as long as Celine directed the picture of her bowing down first, the other person wouldn’t be able to refuse it. That is, if you have minimal social skills.

Yes, if you have minimal social skills.

Unfortunately, Seria was a human with no ties to the word ‘social’. She looked away for a moment as if pondering, then opened her mouth in a low voice.

“… … It’s because you don’t know.”

It was a word that came after a long thought. Even so, Celine’s eyes were filled with wonder as she listened to Seria’s words.

What Seria really wanted to say was, ‘It’s because you don’t know much about your sister.’

However, Seria was extremely lacking in conversation experience. So she left out even the necessary parts for accurate communication. It was a situation that was bound to cause misunderstandings.

Celine, who did not understand Seria’s words, was making a puzzled expression, but a follow-up shot flowed from Seria’s mouth.

“If you do, it will be stolen.”

That was the decisive blow. Celine’s eyes went wild at once.

This was also what Seria said was her own advice. A warning to the woman who will do whatever she pleases, to beware of Delphine.

However, as the words spat out of Seria’s mouth without any explanation, Celine only heard the following meaning.

‘If I do that, I’ll lose senior Ian.’

It was a blatant provocation. It was abnormal if he could maintain his reason even after hearing those words.

The man I had a crush on for over 10 years. It’s not the same as appearing out of nowhere and claiming to be a competitor, but I was even ridiculed in a public place.

Celine chewed her lips, filled with emotion. Intense anger flashed in her eyes. Before he knew it, even the cold hostility was felt in those tan eyes.

“… … Oh, yes.”

It was a voice like frost. It was as if sharp pieces of ice were embedded in it like grains. Only irritation and anger remained on Celine’s face.

The students crowding around remained silent. A few of them signaled with a wink that they should dry it off, but Celine was quicker than that.

One step at a time, as she moved her foot, the distance between the two women quickly narrowed. Truly close range, Celine twisted the corner of her mouth.

“Have you lost a lot to your sister? Now even men… It’s nice to see the sisterly love that gives way to her.”

It was at that moment that Seria’s eyes became soggy and sank. Celine’s ridicule pointed at Seria’s weakness that she most wanted to hide.

And even the possibility she feared most of all now, Seria never wanted Ian to be taken away. It would have been the case with anyone, but especially against Delphine.

The beginning was just such a misunderstanding. However, there was no better opportunity to resolve old feelings for the two women who were already deeply emotional.

Cold words flowed from Seria’s mouth. When the callous voice touched him, he felt as if he would burn his skin.

“Don’t worry, senior Ian isn’t the kind of person to leave without a word. I promised you last time. You, Senior Ian, seem quite unreliable.”

“Ian oppa is trustworthy. But sometimes I like people so much that I get rid of them… He kept spending useless time hanging out with some serious girl.”

Celine then snorted. Her sharp gaze scanned every detail of Seria’s face. Seria’s expression had already turned cold.

“Come to think of it, it’s funny, why are you so teary-eyed? You’re just getting back what you did, isn’t it?”

“I don’t know what you mean… … .”

Seria honestly didn’t know what Celine was saying. It was unreasonable for her to understand the complicated world of dating because she didn’t even have friends. It was Seria who still defined my feelings as ‘friendship’.

But sometimes only the ignorant can discover the truth. Seria thought very simply, and that’s why she was able to touch the essence of the matter simply.

“If you don’t like me hanging out with senior Ian, tell him directly. Don’t whine at me next to me.”

”… … What?”

Celine’s eyebrows narrowed. It was clearly a bewildered response. It was not Seria who would miss this.

Although she had no talent for conversational skills, she still had the intuition of a master who had been trained while hunting monsters. I instinctively knew what the opponent’s weakness was, and that if I stabbed a weakness, I had to bully that part relentlessly.

Seria’s cold voice poured out without interruption. Seria, who had no intention of promoting friendship with her opponent, was basically eloquent. It was because it was enough just to translate my thoughts into language without filtering.

“I mean, go ask Senior Ian. Don’t meet me, or don’t meet me… Don’t you have the courage to do that?”

“I’m not saying Ian wants you to cut ties… … .”

“Or not?”

Silence, Celine’s mouth fell shut. She just stared at Seria without saying anything.

”Sounded like I wished that, but to my ears.”

Celine lowered her gaze slightly. If the composition was captured like this, there was no answer. It was his true intention that he didn’t want him to pay attention to other women.

However, Celine was well aware that it was excessive wind. Even so, he couldn’t hide his desire not to meet a rival like Seria.

Admitting this would only be a farce that interfered with friendships. Crucially, Celine hadn’t officially entered into a romantic relationship with Ian yet.

That point took away the language from Celine. Celine licked her lips silently.

Seria, who was guarding the silence, let out a deep sigh. It seemed that if Celine had nothing to say, it wouldn’t be worth fighting any more.

She only left one word.

“If you do, it will be taken away, Celine Hester.”

Just like me

Seria swallowed the words behind her. However, it was certain that those words had severed Celine’s last string of patience.

Celine’s tawny eyes glared at Seria fiercely. Her hand involuntarily reached my waist. I didn’t intend to draw the sword, but all swordsmen look for it when they feel hostility. It was just such a gesture.

However, in the current situation, that was enough to get the book. The next moment, Celine had to hear a chilling warning.

“Don’t pull out that sword.”

It was a real sword with a black blade hanging from the waist. It was on a different level from Mokdo. Still, Seria, warning Celine, didn’t even put her hand on her scabbard. It doesn’t even seem necessary.

”… … You will regret it.”

It was a calm voice, as if speaking the simple truth. It was an insult beyond rudeness. It was to the extent that onlookers who were not involved in it momentarily held their breath.

The moment he heard that, Celine’s eyes lit up.

Even so, she had an inferiority complex to high-ranking nobles. He could not bear to hear such blatant insults from the object of his hatred.

A beam of light, stuck in the air.

Celine, who was outstanding in terms of magical power, was able to launch her sword in an instant. A series of attacks that followed at once could overwhelm opponents several orders of magnitude higher if the advantage of a surprise attack was utilized. However, the opponent was Seria.

Celine’s blade splattered and slipped with a strange sound. Seria’s sword, pulled out before I knew it, let Celine’s foot sword flow.

When the unexpected sword strike occurred, the surroundings became noisy. The voice that said it should be stopped, but a realistic question was raised about who would be able to dissuade Seria who pulled out the sword.

Originally, ‘swordsmanship training’ was also lecture time, so there had to be a professor who supervised it. However, today, due to the professor’s personal circumstances, he was conducting self-training. There was still time for the assistant to return after checking attendance for a while.

The sound of someone running outside the swordsmanship training ground was heard. I went to find someone to help. Professors, seniors, anyone was good.

The blood splashing had to be stopped. If the injury occurred, it was a felony enough to be a ground for expulsion.

The commotion began to draw more attention to the swordsmanship training grounds. Celine and Seria, who exchanged battles several times, took a few steps back and glared at each other before they knew it.

In the meantime, the win or loss seemed clear. Even though Celine struck with all her might, she couldn’t even brush Seria’s collar. However, the traces of Seria’s check were engraved all over Celine’s body.

“I admit the courage to pull out the sword with that skill, but… … .”

Seria still said that in a nonchalant tone. It was an overly straightforward way of speaking that made her nickname ‘Yurdina’s slut’.

”… … Stop it, it seems the game has already been won.”

Celine groaned again and kicked the ground. Seria let out a small sigh as if she couldn’t help it, and straightened her posture. and that moment.

“hey!”

A man’s shout made the two women’s swordsmen stop, as they were digging into each other’s distance. However, the difference in skills between the two women was a problem.

Seria had plenty of time to retrieve the sword. Her sword was immediately put to a halt, and before she knew it, it was drawn back into the scabbard at her waist.

But not Celine. Celine’s blade couldn’t overcome her strength and moved forward while hesitating. Celine gritted her teeth and tried to stop the blade, but the blade narrowly passed Seria’s forearm.

blood spills It was a shallow wound. But when the onlookers parted ways and a man appeared from among them.

The sight he saw was one.

Celine holding the sword, and Seria bleeding from her forearm.

At least for that moment, it seemed clear who was the perpetrator and who was the victim.

Ian, a man with dark hair and golden eyes, placed a hand on his forehead. He walked angrily.

Celine hurriedly took the sword away. Her face was stunned, as if she still hadn’t grasped the situation properly. This was also the case for Seria, who suddenly had a scar on her forearm.

Celine moved her lips as if she wanted to say something to Ian, but Ian passed Celine with a cold attitude.

The place Ian arrived at was Seria, who was kneeling in a daze, clutching the wound on her forearm. He sighed heavily and pulled the bandage from his bosom.

It shouldn’t stay like this. Such an instinctive sense of crisis hit Celine’s brain. She stuttered and opened her mouth.

“Lee, Ian brother… me, i… … .”

“Celine.”

Ian spoke in such a cold voice without even looking back at Celine. It was the first time in his life that Ian treated Celine so coldly.

Even more shocked, Celine’s mouth lost its language. When Ian glanced back, the golden eyes looking at Celine were cold.

”… … Please, let’s talk later.”

Celine froze in place.

Seria also seemed to be desperately looking for something to say, but there was no way that she, who usually couldn’t choose her words properly, could respond to such a sudden situation.

“Are you okay, Seria? Just in case, let’s go to the temple.”

I just got out of there with Ian’s guidance and support.

The only thing left was Celine.

It’s dumb, looking down at the ground with eyes in despair.
