The Absolute Twin Magician

Liliana Rossweis (part 2)

My morning at school went as it should. No problem at all. The situation of the two friends is also the same, nothing has changed. Perhaps a little different is, Liana looks more cheerful than usual. It seemed like something was making her mood flowery like this.

   Every hour of rest, he always went out and stood in front of the classroom door, like he was waiting for someone. When I saw Kayn passing by in front of the class, Liana immediately greeted him. Kayn looked as usual, responding to Liana like a friend in general. But Liana didn't seem to look at Kayn like an ordinary friend. He also looks more cheerful when he is near or talking to Kayn. Different from his usual nature. As far as I know, Liana is not the type of person who is easily open with others. He's the cover type and shy. If until he acts like it's special to Kayn, it means he keeps his feelings on her. Hmm, I get it. It seems Liana fell for Kayn.

   Looks like Elie didn't notice Liana's behavior on this one. For a few days he seemed very busy. He rarely asked me for a way out. Well, it was only natural for a noble like him, besides he was also a class representative. He was always busy with his position as a class representative.

   But I'm still a little curious about Liana. Is it true that he fell in love with Kayn? I need to make sure. If it's true, this could be shocking news for Kayn.

   At the break, when Elie was busy I deliberately called Liana and spoke to her four eyes. As usual, I sat in the back row. Liana came and approached me.

" Liana, what exactly is your relationship with Kayn?" I asked without thinking. And of course he panicked. His face is slightly red. As I expected.

" W-what do you mean? We are just friends" Liana replied. His words stammer a little. " Ah, like you and Elie, we're just friends"

" really? You look so close" I said "no, you look like you're trying to get close to him"

   Liana fell silent, then smiled faintly. Ah, I feel like he's thinking about something.

" Why are you asking like that Zayn? Don't you like me and get jealous of me being close to someone else?" Ask Liana. This fucker tried to tease me.

" Of course not. On the contrary, if you really like it I can help you" I said casually. If Kayn had a girlfriend, I'd be further and further away from her surveillance. It's a good thing for me "in addition, I'm surprised to see your attitude is so different than usual. I know you're not someone who gets along easily with other people. You can get along with me because Elie started it. The point is, you're not the kind of girl who can easily start a conversation with another guy."

" Uh? Do you think I'm like that?" Liana asked in surprise.

" Yes, at least that's what I can deduce for a while here." My answer.

   Liana kept quiet, then smiled back. A very sweet smile. It shows a femininity that is very attached to him. Her cheeks are back. He looks so nervous. His hand squeezed the end of his shirt, as if hesitating to say something.

" Yes, actually, ever since I met Kayn on the school page the first day we met him, I've seen him as an amazing person. He has a good personality, and also attention. He even loved you as his little brother even though you fought him a lot. From then on somehow every time I saw her my heart was beating fast. Especially when I talk to him, I get more excited. And when you say that I've changed from my usual nature you see, I'm so happy. That means he's a special person to me, to the point of making me change my nature. Just like Elie."

  Liana explained at length. I just kept listening.

" As long as you know, Elie wasn't the cheerful, chatty person you see today. She's a shy girl who doesn't even have any friends besides me. But after meeting you, it changed. It seemed like my feelings for Kayn were the same as Elie's feelings for you Zayn" Liana smiled "it seems like I've liked Kayn since first sight"

   I'm speechless. It doesn't matter to me that Liana likes Kayn, it benefits me. But the problem was what Liana said just now. He said that he felt the same way that Elie felt for me. If he says he likes Kayn, it's like indirectly saying that Elie likes me.

   Elie likes me?! Right one?!! This is completely absurd?!! What good is a person like me?!! That is totally unacceptable to my common sense!

   But if I think about it, judging from her attitude towards me lately, what Liana said made sense. Starting from Elie who insisted on being friends with me, to be willing to take the time to accompany me. Teach me willingly, take a meal together and even give half of it to me. I often look at my face too. And other things. This all reinforces Liana's hypothesis.

   If so, then what should I do?!

   Elie's call broke my daydream. He came to us after he was tired of completing the task given to him

" Hey, what are you two doing in there?" He asked as he walked towards us.

" Liana, keep that a secret" I whispered.

"Well, you're also Zayn"

" What were you two doing when I wasn't here?" Ask Elie. She was like a girl who caught a cheating boyfriend. " I hope nothing strange happens"

" Look down, I won't take it away from you Elie" Liana replied with a big smile.

   Then Elie's face turned red. He immediately hit Liana's arm.

" W-what did you say Liana?! Don't say no!"

   Liana laughed again. Things are back as usual.

   Well, this could be good news for Kayn, and bad news for me. Good news because our surveillance target is apparently in love with Kayn. And the bad news is that Elie likes me this pathetic of me. After hearing that from Liana, I became a little awkward when I met Elie. I hope it doesn't last long.

when I got home, Kayn and I had a meeting again.

" Is there any development of Kayn? " Tanyaku.

" No, I haven't found my best way out yet"

   Kayn and I sat in the middle room. Discuss what we will do to address this issue. Like Kayn said, our problems are deadlocked. There's no other way but to take Liana to the base and have Stephanie neutralize the curse. But we can't do it. We had to find another way.

" Zayn, how about you? Is there something strange today?" Ask Kayn.

" There's "my answer seriously. Kayn is also serious.

" What is that?"

" That Liana, it seems like she harbors feelings for you" I replied "in other words, she likes you "

" Hmm. that's it.."

   Our room was quiet for a moment. I closed my eyes, counting backwards in my heart. Three, two, one...

" Haaaaaaahh???!!"

   As I expected, Kayn cried out hysterically after realizing the meaning of my words. It was a little late, but it made me happy.

" What's your expression?" I asked while trying to hold back my laughter

" W-what are you saying?! Don't joke Zayn!!"

" I'm serious, he really likes you. He told me himself" I replied casually.

" Of course, I also often see you two chatting in front of the class. What are you two talking about?"

" I-it's he who always greets me and invites me to talk. Every time I go in front of your class, he always stands in front of the class and greets me." Obviously Kayn "yes, he did what friends do in general."

   I'm nodding. This isn't my problem anyway. But still it makes me more excited. I was eager to hear Kayn's answer and tell Liana straight away.

" So, what's your answer?" I asked, "can't you just ignore it, right?"

" Wait a minute, you're not kidding, are you?" Ask Kayn to make sure. It seems he still does not believe my words.

" What am I kidding for?"   My reply. " So, your answer?"

   Kayn was silent, thinking hard looking for answers. It's a problem that can't be mapped. One mistake and Kayn could regret a lifetime.

" If he does think that way, I can't refuse him." replied Kayn. " She's pretty sweet anyway, but there's a lot better people for her than me"

" So you accepted it?" Ask me again while walking towards the door.

" If that's what he wants, I'll take it"

" Good" I said. Without Kayn knowing it, I was already outside the house. A pair of wings appeared on my shoulder. The effect of the transmutation made my face a little creepy. " I'll tell you"

" Zayn...What are you doing?" Kayn asked glared at me.

" I'm going to go find Liana and relay your answer to her"

" Y-you.don't do that!!"

   Too late, I've flown over the sky of the city of Bluelagoon. Radiated by moonlight, the night view of this city turned out to be quite beautiful for the eyes. I'm accelerating freely up there. I knew Kayn would come after me. He will find me very easily.

   But I have a very big mistake. I don't know where Liana lives. Well, then this is what I'm supposed to do to find him.

   I also landed on top of a tower towering in the middle of the city. I need to think of a way to find Liana as soon as possible. Without realizing it, there was someone on top of that tower. He saw my monster form and looked a little scared.

" W-who are you? A monster?" Ask a girl who's there. I'm appalled. I know this voice.

" l-liana?"

" K-you...Zay?! Is that really you?!"

   I managed to find Liana, but in bad shape. He saw me as my monster. Its bad. I looked at him listlessly.

" Z-zayn, are you.. monster?" Liana walked back away from me. He trembled, well who was not surprised when he saw a friend who had been with him turned out to be a monster.

" T-wait Liana, I can explain it "my rebuttal. " It's not what you think it is."

   I'm trying to clear up this misunderstanding. It would be terrible if Liana spread my identity like this to school. But someone showed up and screwed it up.

" Yin!!!!"

   Kayn's voice sounded so loud, followed by the appearance of a knight on a pilgrimage light shot towards me. He pushed my body and pressed it against the floor. I can't move. His body is really heavy.

" What are you doing, you idiot?!! It's a public place! Don't carelessly use your weird magic!!" Shouted Kayn.

" K-kayn wait a minute—

" If for example an enemy who knows your magic is in this city what will it be?! Your identity as a Magic Knight will be revealed!!"

" Stop Kayn!!"

" Our organization has many enemies who hold grudges!! Don't do as you please Zayn!! Think with a mature head! You can divulge the secrets of the stupid Magic Assosiation!!"

"L-luck...." Liana who has been quietly approaching us "is that really you Kayn, Zayn?"

   Things get more complicated because of the appearance of this fool. You're the fool for leaking everything, not me!! Look, Liana so heard all your complaints from the beginning

" Liana?! Why are you here?!" Ask Kayn hysterically. He looked at me with a questioning face.

" Foolish fool" I said annoyed.

   Kayn. He felt very sorry. This is all his fault.

" The Magic Knight? Magic Assositions? Whatisit? " Tanya Liana. His fear of my monster form has disappeared.

   Kayn sighed, looking at me

" should I erase her memory?" Ask Kayn

" No, it seems like it's time we tell him" I replied

" Well, that's right "

   After things calmed down enough, we started to approach Liana. Time to get serious

" Liana, whatever we say is a big secret, don't divulge anyone" Kayn said.

" B-good."
