76 Another Problem Before Enrollmen Reincarnation of Peace Creator 'sMagician's

"So what I want to say is..."

"I refuse..."

"Eh?"

Who is that just now? Everyone in the room looks dumbfounded, the voice is coming from the girl who is sitting next to me, she looks so angry with something, I'm not sure what is happening with her, but she doesn't look very happy.

"Yuika do you have something you want to say?"

Uncle Alto is the first one to put down his spoon and ask Yuika, everyone else still looks so surprised because Yuika just said something shocking suddenly.

"I've been remaining silent all time, but, why should Erwin go to the academy? He doesn't need to go to school or something, he has a store to take care of, he's an awesome magician too, there's no need for him to go to school or something"

Yuika...

"Yuika-chan, don't you want to see Erwin-kun become a great magician? he has great talent to magic, there's no doubt about it"

"You are just making use of him!!!"

Yuika starts to raise her tone, she doesn't look very happy with what Elis-nee just said, I keep my eyes on her and notice that she's trembling, a tear starts coming out from the corner of her eyes, she tries to wipe it and stare back at her food.

"You will just make him apart from us..."

Yuika is starting to drop her precious tears, my body suddenly moves on its own, I get off my seat and walk closer to Yuika, and before I know, my arms are already around her shoulder and pull her closer to me, I can't think of anything but to comfort her, she may be shocked and confused by what I just did, I can't really see her face but somehow her face feels warm, I can feel it from the back of my head, I try to hug her tighter and bury my face to her shoulder.

"W - wa - wa -wait... E-Erwin...?"

I feel like I need to let go of her, but why my body won't listen to me? I just reacted whenever Yuika looks sad and start to cry.

"Not bad Erwin boy"

I stay hugging Yuika, I don't know how long the time pass already, but, time sure feels slow before I feel someone is trying to pull me from behind.

"Mph..."

I turn my head, Aura is pouting and her face is red and she doesn't look happy, she tries to pull me as hard as she can, I almost drag Yuika with me, luckily I let go Yuika before I fall behind and bump above Aura, I try to cover the back of her head quickly before we fall on the ground, I try to cover her with my body and swap our position, but it seems I won't be able to make it so I bury Aura's face to my chest before we fall on the ground.

"Are you okay Aura?"

I think I hit my head a bit, thankfully it's not really hurt because all I can feel like is just my back that hit the wall.

"I-I'm sorry Erwin-ku... Erwin..."

I try to get up and feel a bit of pain in my left shoulder, I try not to show it to her or she would feel guilty for it, I reach out my hand to Aura and help her to stand, she looks sorry and she keeps apologizing.

"It's fine, Aura, it's okay, don't worry about it"

"What do you think you are doing!!!"

Yuika suddenly slaps Aura's hand and stands between us, it's the second time I heard Yuika yelled like that and behave like a completely different person, she makes me remember when the first time she yelled like that like just yesterday.

"Alright you kids, go back and sit, Erwin, you come here and sit next to me"

Uncle Alto looks angry and even hit the table, it's the first time, a sharp glare he's showing to us is nothing I ever have seen before, I feel a bit terrified, my feet start to trembling, sweats starting to fall down on my forehead, I step my feet and walk closer to uncle Alto while looking down, I'm too afraid to look uncle Alto to his eyes, it's too scary for me to look at.

"Hey, uncle-san, aren't you being a bit rude to Erwin-kun?"

"*Sigh...* Alright, I'm sorry for that, but please, don't do that again, Yuika-chan, Aura-chan too, I can't believe you two would do something like that, you better repent on what you two just did, how if Erwin get injuries?"

"I-I'm sorry..."

Yuika and Aura just answer simultaneously, they look so sorry, Elis-nee gets up from her seat and pat their hair, it looks like she whispers something to them before she walks back to the table, change her seat and sit between them, the atmosphere becomes so awkward in silence.

"So Yuika-chan, can you tell us why are you against Erwin's enrollment? He said it himself, right? He will take the opportunity if he gets one, and here is his opportunity, red-hair... Elis-chan said before that she would enroll Erwin under her name, she's a noble and one of the best graduates from that academy"

"Bu-but..."

"What is it Yuika-chan? can you tell us?"

Ilya-nee is starting to take action, she finally talks, I always saw her remain silent all the time, I think she's trying to enjoy the food so she chooses not to join in the conversation.

"If Erwin able to pass the exam means he will be attending the academy, I don't want that... Ilya-nee should be understood too, right?"

"Yuika-chan might be right, I will feel lonely and have to take care of the store myself"

"Then Ilya-me..."

"But it's for Erwin's future, as a big sister, I want the best for my little brother, and I will support his decision as a big sister because that's what I should do as a big sister"

Ilya-nee...

"Hey Yuika-chan, I know your concern, I know what you are worried about, but, don't you want Erwin to be a top-class magician so you can brag about it?"

What are they talking about now? I just sit in confusion while listening to the conversation, Elis-nee quietly giving back my plate from across the table, she just smiles and sits back after I take the plate from her.

"I won't be able to stay on his side anymore, I can't use magic, I want to go to that academy with Erwin too"

Yuika is starting to cry again, but this time my body doesn't react to it and I just look at her running to the door and exit the room, everyone is just sitting and staring at her disappearing from this room.

I think Yuika needs her personal time, so I think we better leave her alone for now, but suddenly uncle Alto whispers to my ear saying a weird thing.

"Hey Erwin, I think you need to follow her"

"Eh, why me, uncle Alto?"

Yuika needs time to be alone, right? I shouldn't be bothering her, or else, she would seriously hate me, but I think I will just follow what he said, I don't want him to be mad at me again and I don't want to see his scary glare again.
