Chapter 507: Confusion and Fear / Yuki

“Yuki-san, stop fighting like this and come with us. Everyone is waiting for you.”

Minami-sensei spoke to me in a tone of voice that was so relaxed that I couldn’t believe we were on a battlefield. The other classmates around me also called out to me in the same manner.

“Ms. Shirayuki! Let’s go together! There’s no need for classmates to fight each other!”

“That’s right, Shirayuki, come with us! The Raddle Company will guarantee your treatment. They’ll give you a safe and even more luxurious life!”

“Yes, Yuki, we can go home! All we have to do is help them a little bit and they promised to send us back to the world we came from!”

The Raddle Company……! We can go back to our world? If that’s true, there’s no reason to say no…….I grab the red gem embedded in my chest in my hand and remember the reality. Betraying the Elysian Empire, or even Rafishal, means death.

“Is everyone……with Professor Minami except me and Reina?”

I asked that because I was curious about someone. If……Yuta-kun was there, I thought that I would drop everything and follow him even if my life was in danger.

“No, unfortunately, besides Yuki and Reina, four more people have not been able to join us.”

“Who are they?”

“Iwanami-kun, Sakaki-kun, Nagisa-san and Yuta-kun. But don’t worry, Iwanami-kun and Sakaki-kun have already arranged to join us. We don’t know where Nagisa and Yuta are yet, but we will find them.”

After all, Yuta-kun is not here……I felt disappointed and somewhat relieved.

“I see, I’m sorry……I can’t be with everyone right now.”

That was all I could say. The most important thing to remember is that I can’t just go back to my old world with everyone else, but I have to find a way to deal with this red gem before I do that.

“I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to get back to your original world with your entire class. Why don’t you understand that?”

“I do understand. I know, but now is not the time. Please give me a little more time.”

I told her, “Not now,” but for some reason, Professor Minami did not accept it.

“My God……you were an honor student, Yuki, but you have been poisoned by this world. Have you learned luxury and can’t get rid of it?　No, or have you found someone you love in the Elysian Empire? If that is the reason, I understand, because we are both women but the most important thing is your classmates! We are the only ones you can trust!　Think again! Yuki Shirayuki! Give up that man and come over here!”

Minami-sensei’s tone suddenly became scary. The sudden change made me feel fearful. Something is wrong……Minami-sensei was supposed to be a kind and sincere person, not someone who would order her students around in such a rough manner, even if they were wrong. And strangely enough, the surrounding classmates, instead of questioning such words of Minami-sensei, began to blame me.

“Ms. Shirayuki! You got a man? I’m so sorry, I didn’t think you were such a slut.”

“Yuki, that man is deceiving you! Wake up and come with us!”

“Even an honor student like you can make mistakes, or has lust changed you?”

There was something wrong with everyone’s tone of voice and the words they uttered…….I was going crazy because people I knew blamed me unjustly.
