Chapter 10 - Quiet on the Roof

...After Bakvik cleared up the problems he encountered and left the gangsters Bakvik didn t go anywhere and remained in the area looking for a place to rest at night

In a dilapidated room that looked like an old cheap hotel room Bakvik placed his luggage there before climbing up to the roof At that moment he thought to himself

"I like this "

From the top of the roof looking ahead you can see the beautiful city atmosphere the lights of the buildings and houses

He also saw a lively festival in the city The atmosphere was quiet On the rooftop he opened his bag and took out a gun he had taken from a gangster

"Wow... this is really good stuff..."

... the sounds of the celebration came from the next room The sounds of musical instruments and laughter He decided to plug his ears with paper because he didn t want to hear them He didn t dislike them but it wasn t something he wanted to hear He slowly drifted off to sleep

The next day Sela a university student, traveled to Veze District 2 a warm and friendly district with clean houses and trees adorning the stone walkways

Sela stopped in front of a simple looking house She knocked on the door A woman s voice was weak like that of a sick middle aged woman

"Who are you?" came a voice from inside the house

Sela swallowed and took a deep breath before replying as if she was feeling pressured by something

Sela spoke in a gentle sincere tone

"Sela... I'm a sophomore from university "

The woman in the room responded quietly her tone gentle

"Sela..."

He didn t reply as if he was thinking about something Sela swallowed a little her face pressed against him Finally she replied

"Come in..."

She walked into the house without hesitation She entered the room with the door open Sela found a sick woman lying in bed seemingly being cared for by a personal nurse

She was shocked when she saw him This woman smiled gently as if the two of them shared some important bond At that moment she was overcome with tears She rushed to hug him and lay on the bed

"You're the craziest! Teacher is the craziest..."

Sela cried out in tears her innocent voice trembling The teacher gently and gently wiped her head

"You told everyone you were fine but you were in this state "

..The teacher gently touched her cheek filled with warmth He smiled faintly filled with warmth

"You ve grown into a young woman now..."

... His right hand gently caressed her head with warmth She told the teacher about her university life the stories she encountered and the jokes she received from Chas and Chenya

"They re so cute! Chas is the determined girl and Chenya is the shy girl They re so cute!"

Including the fact that she was successful in university the teacher said and smiled gently

" her efforts back then paid off today"

... The two of them talked for a while After that she opened her bag and took out a gift box to give to the teacher It might not be a luxurious or expensive gift but she made it with all her heart to give to the teacher It was time for her to go back

The teacher s personal nurse had to continue to look after him before saying goodbye to him

" Thank you See you teacher "

The teacher s smile was as warm as the morning sun She paused for a moment her smile filled with brightness and love for the teacher Then she walked away

..Sela didn t go back to the university She walked around the town of Veze enjoying the atmosphere Children playing in the playground food on the stalls and many people walking around enjoying their lives

..She glanced at a dessert shop on the side of the road. She bought some chocolate cookies and took them to walk around the city to enjoy the atmosphere

... While munching on her delicious pastries she saw Bachwig sitting beside a tree by the roadside She pictured him in her mind recognizing him as someone from the same university They had run into each other several times while walking past She approached Bachwig as he ate the bread Sela greeted him by grabbing his shoulder and peering into the bread in his hand

"Eating alone?"

Bachwig turned slightly innocently but slightly surprised

"Hmm... If I m not going to eat it alone I ll have to share it with you"

Sela who was standing next to clutched a bag of snacks She smiled slightly before saying

"Good luck I already ate some "

He looked at her coldly and thoughtfully

"She s from Room 1..."

Sela...smiled slightly

"My name is Sela Winters...and I know you..."

Sela walked over and sat down next to Bakwik without thinking much She handed Bakwik a cookie and said innocently

"I'm here to visit... my old magic teacher"

Bakvik didn t say anything further just listened well She glanced at Bakvik briefly before asking what he was doing here Bakvik bit his cookie

"I came here because I was bored "

She was a little dazed thinking about something

"Are you free?"

Bakvik nodded slightly between bites of his cookie.

Sela smiled slightly in her heart

(You re such a strange person Mr Bakvik)

Sela invited Buckwick to go for a walk around town with her as they were from the same neighborhood They met by chance before she agreed

"Isn t this a date?"

Sela crossed her arms and sighed in frustration

"Men you know tend to overthink things..."

Bakvik flinched slightly when he heard that his face turning pale

"What you said is true"

...After that Bakvik fulfilled her request which was to take a walk with her as a companion The evening atmosphere was soon to be night and the lights were turned on and lined up beautifully

..Sela her eyes sparkling It was the first time she had seen Veze It was a more beautiful city than she had imagined Bakvik carrying his coat was carrying that kind of person He was walking behind the cheerful Sela Bakvik glanced at her absently

Bakvik smiled slightly.

"Its not a date..."

...She stopped walking immediately Bachwig stopped following her as if time had stopped for a moment before she turned and hugged her chest Her face was flushed

" Haven t you stopped talking about dating yet...?! "

..The two of them walked together Sela walked cheerfully while Bakvik walked behind her with his hands in his pockets The atmosphere of the city was filled with bright lights

Sela talked to Bakvik while they were walking Bakvik didn t talk to her he just listened as if he was opening his heart to her as a friend

Sela

"Before you moved to university where were you from?"

The leaves slowly fell Bakvik picked them up when they were always with him

"I used to live in this city...but that was a long time ago..."

Sela continued to smile and be gentle

"I m from Ishivara... born and raised there"

Bakvik s breathing slowed He took a deep breath of the fresh night air He blinked slightly as if he was open to having this woman as a friend

Later they remained like that At night it should be quiet but the city was full of people still having fun

Bakvik

"Aren t you one of those special people?"

Sela turned around slightly startled while Bachwig quickly looked back at her

Bakvik

"No no I didn t mean that I meant The Honored Student'

Both hands covered and held her cheeks Sela blinked slowly as if something was on her mind deep down

"Yes..."

She said only that as if she didn t want to say much about the matter Bakvik stopped talking about it just stayed with her

Everything is a feeling through their gestures and eyes that they communicate with each other

The leaf remained on Bakvik s shirt He shook it off and it slowly fell to the ground... but it didn t Instead it slowly dissipated as if it wasn t what the leaf should have been

Stay tuned for the next episode.....
