===Part 9===

And then the next morning.

Lux was filled with trepidation inside his heart wondering how the girl client Nina would make her move, but that day a sheet of request form came to Lux unexpectedly.

【Work description】 I’m withdrawing my request, thank you very much.

The content consisted of only that sentence.

「──And then, in the end what happened?」

「It’s nothing really complicated. I only talked directly with her and solved the misunderstanding.」

Krulcifer said smoothly, but he wondered if the girl client who looked that cornered would be so easily persuaded like that.

「…………」

「Are you unable to believe me that much?」

「N, no, it’s not that I cannot trust Krulcifer-san, that’s……」

「The love poem that the girl wrote was for a senior in this Academy. The content was suggestive, so the girl thought that it would be bad if by any chance the person the poem was directed at noticed it, that was why she panicked.」

「Eh……!? Wa, wait a second Krulcifer-san. You said it was for a senior in this Academy──don’t tell me」

There should be no male student other than Lux here.

When Lux almost said it reflexively, Krulcifer brushed up her hair coolly.

「Basically, in a girl academy where males are forbidden to enter, occasionally a girl who harbored that kind of feeling will appear. Especially here where there are a lot of gallant girls.」

「I, is that so……」

It was an unexpected story, but it felt like it would be better to not get deeply involved with it so Lux stopped pursuing further.

「I told her that I noticed the content of her poems that I picked up. And then, I promised her that I wouldn’t talk about her poem to other people, that’s all. As long as her anxiety of 『perhaps I got found out』, 『she might be telling others even now』 is just removed, then she won’t try to do anything anymore.」

「So, she was persuaded like that.」

「Yes. But, in exchange I also told her one of my secrets as compensation. ──It’s a secret about love just like hers.」

「──Eh?」

Lux raised his voice in respond to Krulcifer’s words that she said with a smile of implication.

「Co, could it be, even Krulcifer-san, is also harboring feeling toward that senior──?」

「……Haah」

Krulcifer came to a stop and sighed in respond to Lux’s question. She directed an exasperated fixed stare toward him.

「Lux-kun, let’s start our usual supplementary lesson soon. Today it will be triple than normal.」

「Eeeeh……!?」

Lux cowered in fright at Krulcifer’s sudden declaration.

「……Even so, I’m finally aware of my own weak point.」

Krulcifer quietly muttered beside Lux who was preparing ink and pen in resignation.

「Eh……?」

When Lux tilted his head, the flawless girl smiled and said.

「It’s how I don’t want to show any weakness at all toward someone who I’m wishing that he will look at myself.」
