My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Chapter 107

Throughout the banquet, Kalix couldnt take his eyes off Lelia.

There was no exception even when Carius came and took Lelia and Kalix to greet the vassals.

Carius was very proud to introduce Kalix.

Lelia was confused when she saw Kalix, who had suddenly become softer.

Whats wrong with you? Does it hurt somewhere? Are you trying to show signs of seizures?

He may be asking for medicine because he has finished taking it. Thats why she stared at him with a sudden glow in her eyes.

Then you two can talk.

Carius took Lelia and Kalix to the terrace and pushed them in.

Lelia looked at the closed curtain and immediately asked Kalix.

Are you sick? Can I get you some medicine?

But Kalix grabbed Lelias arm without saying a word.

His stare

His eyes were strange. It was a look of great determination, as if to trust only her.

[What, what]

She couldnt figure out what Kalix was thinking.

What the hell is this? 

Sir Kalix?

Dont worry.

What?

Im sorry Im being so narrow-minded. Now dont worry, Ill I mean, I mean

Ill protect your secret!

Lelia closed her eyes tightly. 

[What are you even saying?]

Especially to someone whos made a huge decision to confess a secret.

Dont worry, huh? Just trust me. Youve always trusted me.

Yes, well, of course

Yeah, yeah. Whats wrong with dressing up as a woman? Its common anyway, isnt it? Like a man dressed up as a woman!

What?

No, I am! So dont worry. Yeah, I understand. Now I understand you.

Kalix spoke gibberish, but nodded to himself speaking as he was so determined to do so.

Lets just let it go.

Lelia thought and changed her mind.

Make sure to bring your friends with you later. Into the main garden outside, all right?

Uh, okay.

When Kalix answered roughly to Lelias question, she stepped out of the terrace.

Uncle Carius, who was guarding the front of the terrace, asked why she had already come out, but Lelia shook her head and headed toward her grandmother.

***

By the time the banquet was about to end, Lelia opened the menu to confirm that the inspection was completed.

• Large update is imminent! The inspection will be completed soon. Im sorry for the inconvenience.

Scheduled time for inspection: 10:10 p.m.

Please look forward to the special pension lottery that will be even more refreshing!*(*)*]

Far from the inspection being finished, the time was even extended. She clenched her fist and controlled her anger.

[Come to think of it]

Lelia left the banquet hall and headed for the place. Entering the small central garden inside that she told Kalix about, she saw four people waiting for her.

Fortunately, Kalix seemed to have delivered her words well.

Each of the four people sat or stood far apart.

Their eyes gathered as Lelia approached.

Why did you ask us to get together? Do you want to play captain?

Romeo asked playfully. Lelias expression hardened.

Last time too, Romeo spoke as if he knew everything.

Lelia slowly opened her mouth.

I have something to tell you. I mean its

She hesitated because she didnt know how to open her mouth and tell them. She closed her eyes.

Im actually an alchemist.

Ha. No wonder. But how can you have this power I dont know?

Romeo answered straight away and tilted his head. He thought that message from the last time was done by Lelia, too.

Contrary to expectations of a huge response, their reaction was minimal.

Romeo was the only one who was amazed, and the rest honestly didnt seem interested.

Lelia was somewhat despondent and just blinked.

And the fact that Im here treated like family

As she opened her mouth to continue speaking, Romeo got up from the bench and approached.

Lelia.

Yes.

You remember what I told you, right? You dont have to explain anything.

Its

Were not gonna ask you anything. We wont have any questions.

I dont know why, but Im sure youll tell me when the time comes.

Lelia looked at Romeo, confused and smiling. 

[What are you talking about?]

In the midst of the hecticness, Griffith and Oscar also came towards her.

They didnt say anything, they just looked at each other.

Only then did Lelia understand what Romeo had just said.

Not only Oscar, but Romeo and Griffith also noticed everything.

He even seemed to know that Lelia was a family member of the Superion family. He must have felt it instinctively.

Thanks to Romeos eyes.

In an instant, her eyes filled with tears.

Sigh

Lelia breathed low and bowed her head. Tears welled up quickly and fell to the floor.

Romeo put his hand over Lelias head and murmured softly so that she could only hear it.

Im afraid someones the crybaby.

[T/N: Do you all remember this? Romeo once said this when they were kids :)]

Lelia seemed to be filled with grief at the consideration of her friends. She couldnt stop crying.

An inexplicable apology. 

But her friends understand her. 

[Thank you for recognizing me.]

Emotions rose with various complications in her mind.

Hey.

At that time, Kalix, who looked more serious than anyone else, approached.

Lelia slowly raised her head.

[So So what about Kalix?]

Why are you crying?

Kalix made a big frown. Then he looked at Romeo, Griffith and Oscar.

What are you doing? Why are you making him cry?

What are you saying? Romeo looked at him annoyingly, but Kalix didnt care.

Kalix patted Lelia on the back and comforted her. Oscars eyes persistently looked at the hands patting Lelia.

Hey, dont cry. Theyre not going to say anything. Dressing up as a woman isnt a bad thing.

[T/N: Im so done!!! T_T]

Lelia suddenly felt like her tears were drying up.

[No]

Dont be discouraged! Who wants to cry? Whats wrong with a man dressing as a woman? Hey, dont ignore him or spread the word that hes a cross-dressing man. Im not going to let you down. Ill just use my sword to Do you understand?

Oscar, Griffith, and Romeo. The three turned their heads as if they hadnt seen Kalix at all.

Romeo, in particular, turned back and walked to the bench, patting his chest.

Lelia looked at her friends in bewilderment.

[No, you guys Why did you just notice and not tell him? What about me?!]

In the meantime, Kalix looked at Lelia and handed her his cravat as if to use as her handkerchief.

Well, Sir Kalix. I think theres a misunderstanding. Im actually

Kalix raised his finger up and took it to Lelias lips. Then he pushed lightly.

You dont have to tell me. I will keep your secret. Your grandmother will get well soon, too, so dont worry. You have your brothers with you.

No, thats not it. Actually, I have a confession to tell you

Oh, I already told you. Thats it, man! Now get out of here! Go away!

Kalix turned nervously. Then he strode toward the place.

Lelia looked at Oscar with her eyes, telling him to do something.

Oscar suddenly approached and rubbed Lelias lips, where Kalixs finges touched, with his thumb.

What are you doing?

After rubbing her lips with his thumb, he turned his head without saying a word. Lelia was dumbfounded and couldnt speak.

Turning to Griffith, he only glared at Oscar with frightening eyes.

Lelia eventually looked at Romeo.

[Yeah youre the only one who can help me, arent you, Romeo? Youve been like that since you were a kid.]

Romeo, who met the gaze head-on, scratched his forehead as if he was in trouble.

Lets just let it go.

But how could you possibly leave such a misunderstanding

Romeo waved his hands.

You know hes always like that anyway. He believes in what he wants to believe and sees what he wants to see. How can I break that stubbornness? Hell find out slowly.

Lelia sighed.

[Ive revealed that Im an alchemist, but He did not even say anything important.]

[I need to talk about the cure for Kalix.]

By the way, how do you use alchemy when you dont have magic, and you dont feel the same way? Let me know.

Romeo asked, Do you need anything else? with his eyes sparkling with academic curiosity.

Lelia looked at Romeo as if he were being cheeky and just turned away.

When she walked away like that, Oscar and Griffiths eyes caught fire in an instant.

Do you want to talk to me?

When Griffith asked, Oscar blinked slowly. The red eyes looked alive.

The two men were about to point their swords at each other.

No, hey, are you fighting again? All of a sudden? Why?

Romeo jumped and stopped the two.

He took the two to the banquet hall, saying, Lets not do this but drink.

Not knowing what was going to happen in Kalixs room after a while.

***

Meanwhile, as she was about to go back, she paused and retreated.

Perhaps Kalix was in an odd state of mind. She felt like she had to try again to confess the truth.

Knock, knock

She thought of going inside his room. There was no sound coming from inside.

Lelia, who had been agonizing, finally opened the door and went in.

Squeak.

When she opened the door slightly, she saw a dark interior.

He didnt come to the room? Or are you sleeping?

At that time, she suddenly had a scary thought.

The idea that Kalix might have a seizure like last time and be sick alone in the dark.

So she went inside, closed the door, and carefully looked inside.

Sir Kalix?
