I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

59 – 59. Apathy Toward Safety

The core of the sixth episode is to untangle the twisted development and find Dylan’s relative, Noah.

It is not difficult to capture Noah himself, but it took a long time to reach the conclusion that he is the final Black Veil and that he designed this test himself.

It is information that can only be obtained by beating up the students, avoiding the pirates, and holding several professors accountable.

It is safe to say that you have to explore every nook and cranny of this island to find out.

“I thought this part was like a detective novel.”

It was an episode that had a similar tone to a crime mystery rather than a romance fantasy.

Personally, I didn’t really like how the plot stretched out like the cheese of a freshly baked pizza.

There should be one or two twists, but when trying to capture the students, suddenly “Oh! Pirates!” and when capturing the pirates, suddenly “Oh! Professors!” and when holding the professors accountable, suddenly “Oh! There’s Noah!” How can one develop a liking for that?

“So, I’m telling you this because someone unusual got involved this time, and it would be troublesome if time drags on like that.”

Therefore, in order to quickly finish the sixth episode, I presented evidence that Professor Heinz is Noah, without dragging it on.

If we were to compare it to a game, it would be like entering the boss room right away without bothering to fight the minions.

Moreover, this episode’s boss, Noah, is not particularly strong, and the process of finding the boss is emphasized, so there is no danger in skipping ahead to the boss room.

That is truly the best choice.

“…Sometimes, I find you scary, knowing all that.”

As I happily boasted with my chest puffed out, Lucia made a face of annoyance and said.

Well, it does seem like the son of a certain novelist knows too much, doesn’t it?

“I have a way of knowing everything.”

Actually, based on what I talk about, the scale is always too big and most of the stories are hard to believe.

With a slight question mark on her face, Lucia obediently follows along, which I am grateful for.

-Page!

So, let’s give a little kiss to the cheek, Lucia, who froze stiffly.

“You… You just…”

“Why? Is it not allowed?”

“No, it’s not that it’s not allowed, but…”

She was so flustered that her mouth stammered, and it was cute, like a foolish goldfish.

Without further ado, I slipped my finger into her distracted mouth, and then she finally regained her senses and moaned while biting my finger.

“Ouch… That hurts!”

“That’s what you get for letting me put my finger in.”

Soon after, she continued to nibble on my finger, then spat it out when my finger was completely soaked.

I wiped my wet finger with a handkerchief, and Lucia sighed as if disappointed.

“I was going to take it in my mouth and attack you right here, but it’s a shame.”

“..Lucia, there’s saliva all over it, why would you put it in your mouth?”

“Hmm?”

At that, Lucia frowned as if she was displeased and tilted her head.

– Tsk!

She took out a lemon candy from her pocket, peeled it, and then placed it on her tongue.

She extended her tongue as if mocking me and said, “Nyah.”

“Eat it.”

“If you eat it, are you going to pounce on me for a kiss?”

“That’s right. So, are you not going to eat it?”

Lucia raised her hand to my waist with a sulky expression, showing that she would sulk if I didn’t comply.

Without any time to react, I hugged her and touched foreheads, feeling the throbbing of my heart like it was resonating through my body.

“Hmm…”

We spent a pleasant time, with our lips pressed together.

“What are you two doing?”

Raul, with a contemptuous expression, and Heidi, slightly wrinkling her brow, became noticeable.

We quickly separated our lips and coughed as if nothing had happened.

But they already saw us and laughed as if they thought of us as perverts.

“This… This is not what you guys think…”

“What are you doing outside when you’re supposed to be taking an exam? It’s so uncouth,” Heidi’s words, delivered in a chilly tone, left Lucía flustered as she glanced at her.

“Why is this one smiling? Isn’t she embarrassed?”

*Snickers!*

Lucía stayed silent, casting her gaze down and sipping her saliva, only to then sense a piece of candy occupying the unoccupied corner of her mouth.

It seemed as though the candy had made its way into her mouth while they were kissing, yielding to Lucía’s desire in the end.

With a sheepish expression, she rolled the candy around in her mouth. Lucía, smirking, pulled up the corners of her mouth even higher.

*Slurp.*

And then, after a while, I realized I had instinctively raised my hand and was gently caressing her cheek.

Suppressing the mushy feeling, I quickly withdrew my hand because Raúl and Heidi were right in front of us. Lucía stuck to me like glue, rubbing her face against my hand again.

As I forced down her rising lip corners, I looked at Heidi and Raúl on the other side.

The expressions on their faces showed that they had no intention of giving up anymore. In other words, they were utterly dumbfounded.

“Damn it,” Raúl muttered as he turned his head.

We pondered whether we had gone too far, but Lucía, who was hugging me tightly, came into view.

I thought she might be shouting loudly, but I had no good reason to refuse, so I just accepted.

“Ha.”

Heidi, with an angry expression, turned her body sharply and urged Raúl to follow her back to where they had come from.

And, still surprised, Raúl, after casting a glare at me, followed Heidi from behind.

“Just a moment, Heidi!”

I rushed over to Heidi and grabbed her sleeve. “I’m sorry for being so oblivious. We won’t disturb you, so you two can have a very… good time. Got it?”

“Well, I’m sorry about doing something like that right in front of you…”

“Surely you had a reason for following us this far, right? Hurry up and speak, then go back to Lucía.”

She shook my hand off forcefully and glared at me as if telling me to speak.

I had something to say, but the situation had taken a turn for the worse, making me hesitate. Unintentionally, Lucía stuck close, took my hand, and started speaking.

“It’s okay; you haven’t done anything wrong, so you can speak confidently.”

“… Yes.”

“That’s not something you should be saying!”

The words almost burst from my throat, but with great effort, I held them back and carefully began to speak to Heidi.

“Uh, have you ever seen someone in a suit, looking a little aggressive, and carrying a gun?”

“No? I haven’t seen such a person. Why?”

“That person has a grudge against me and followed me all the way here to try and kill me.”

“..What?”

Heidi seemed puzzled for a moment, then quickly seemed to understand, urging me to explain as she tapped her fingers.

I must not have had a good image if she could accept that someone was after me.

As I lowered my head with embarrassment, Raoul added from the side, “Is it possible that this person chasing you is a woman?”

“..No, not at all.”

I wonder how these people see me.

Looking at Lucia, she smiled brightly as she squeezed my hand with more strength.

Yeah, besides Lucia, there are no good people around me.

As I continued to gently stroke Lucia’s sunny head, Raoul mumbled, “It seems like that person might be trying to kill a woman.”

“No, it’s a man who’s gone crazy wanting to put a bullet in my forehead.”

“So, what do you want?”

“If you find that person and try to escape, can you send me a message?”

I said this and took out a notebook and pen from my bag, quickly sketching a rough image of Nikhil and handing it to Heidi.

She nodded and made an ‘O’ sign with her fingers, as if she understood.

As I felt gratitude welling up once again, Heidi asked me, “If they’re trying to kill an Academy student, won’t they be visible? What if we also get attacked?”

“It won’t be like that. That person won’t want any trouble either. You guys probably won’t be targeted.”

“..Are you sure?”

Nikhil probably won’t go after Heidi either. Even Lucia, who was right in front of him, didn’t want to provoke him unless necessary. Naturally, Heidi should be safe.

By the way he’s acting, it seems more likely that there’s someone behind Nikhil’s actions rather than him trying to kill me of his own volition.

“I’m sure. So, just let us know when that guy is planning to leave the island.”

Naturally, several individuals who could be linked to Nikhil’s background kept coming to mind.

As I finished the sixth episode and began to suspect the place, I wondered if they would call Nikhil from that direction.

“Sorry for involving you in this while you’re also taking the test. I have some other places to go.”

Of course, I don’t plan to tell them the detailed background. With this many people in our group, it would only complicate things if I told them too much.

And if you were to ask me where I got this information, it would become even more troublesome.

“Take this for now, it’ll allow communication over long distances.”

Lucia handed me a magical device that enabled one-way communication over long distances.

I handed it to Heidi, then turned back towards the ship, taking Lucia’s hand.

Heidi urgently spoke to me as if to object, “No, where are you going? It’s an island, after all. It would be better to tell the professors…”

“Oh, don’t worry about that.”

With a hidden agenda, I smiled and said, “I’m actually leaving this island entirely. I’m heading to the professors right now.”

Well, it’s not entirely inaccurate to say I have a hidden agenda. I’m going to confront the professors, but either way, I’m heading in that direction.

I didn’t tell a lie.
