After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me - After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 41

41 – Full Moon Night (7)

From noble mtl dot com

Lina Roswell is nice.

If you grab someone who knows her Lina and ask them about her, they will give you a hundred answers.

A kind smile. Kindness. Thoughtfulness. Take care

Her friends, her family, and everyone who knows her like her.

In short, ‘kindness’ is her identity.

Even if you don’t know someone, someone you can comfortably come up to and have a day’s worth of small talk, laugh, say hello, and finally say goodbye happily.

Lina knows better than anyone else that she is what others think she is.

“Everybody expects that from me.”

It is quite enjoyable to meet other people’s expectations. Satisfied people immediately follow and like her.

Lina enjoyed it too.

But she’s gone.

– Of course Lina will help with this, right? I’m having a hard time.

-She always takes good care of her younger siblings. Also Rina.

That kind of ‘expectation’ soon became a framework.

The frame that a person named Lena Roswell should be kind, caring, and friendly.

– You must be nice because you are Lena Roswell.

At some point, other people’s compliments started to sound like that.

In the end, Lina was consumed by her own image.

Everyone looked forward to Lina as if it were natural. Some people have chatted because they were bored, and there were people who seriously consulted about cheating lovers. There were people who asked for a little help because the assignment was difficult, and there were people who wanted to see what the little spirits looked like.

Acquaintances, friends, and even family.

Everyone leaned on Lina as if it were natural.

Because Lina is a caring and kind child.

At first, she was happy that she was helping others. It was such a bliss, she deceived herself.

She was probably like that.

She started to rot from the deep inside.

“…It’s hard for me too.”

Lina hugged her knees.

Her parents died in an accident, leaving her family in charge.

In order to feed the rest of her younger siblings and rebuild the family, that level of spec was needed.

Lichten Academy came up at the behest of her relatives.

“…Actually, I have to live like a stubborn person.”

I don’t even have money to live on right now.

Rice and supplies. I can’t buy things that I don’t need, or even the things I need. Because when you feel comfortable, your younger siblings will have a hard time.

Such is the weight of the family that Lena Roswell carries.

In order to raise her remaining siblings and raise a family, somehow Lichten must graduate.

So you have to compete hard.

She must get a scholarship.

“… I’m not that nice either.”

Kook.

At some point, her fists were tightly clenched.

Lina released her fists with a sigh.

She then looked around.

“……”

It is a space full of darkness.

It was several hours ago that she realized she was trapped here.

– The moon is bright today.

With the last thought that the moon rising in the sky was particularly bright, she opened her eyes and was here.

Everything around is pitch black, as if you’ve fallen into the deep sea.

But Lina seemed to know where this place was.

“… In my consciousness.”

The reason for this speculation was simple.

She’s been through that freaky thing.

That is the voice that suddenly started coming from one day in my head.

– Is it difficult?

– You don’t have to be too kind.

I was afraid at first.

She thought she was crazy.

But when I heard it, it was a voice that moved my heart.

Because Lina told me what I wanted to hear the most.

— Look at that guy named Ian over there. They’re blocking your way should i remove it?

At some point, aggression came out of nowhere.

At first I refused.

But she couldn’t forget that sweet whisper.

It was only then that I realized.

Those whispers are finally bringing out the things within Rina herself.

‘… These are my deep feelings.’

When I thought that way, I felt no hesitation.

— Do you want to become stronger? I can help

As I listened to her whispers, my growth accelerated. Her overflowing magical power was hard to control. Faith in her whispers only grew stronger.

— Can you lend me your body?

At some point, when it whispered like that.

Lina nodded her head.

She said that was the moment she lost consciousness for the first time.

But I liked that moment.

When she woke up after losing consciousness, she felt refreshed beyond words.

She felt free from the things that oppressed her.

— Quaaang!

One day she attacked Ian from behind.

When she regained her sanity and had no regrets about it. She had the feeling that something was wrong, but she swallowed that irritation right away.

Because.

‘… It was me who hated Ian.’

Ian.

Ian Black Angus.

I only hate that child.

I hated him even before the strange whispers in my head.

If a person named Lina is defined by the frame of ‘goodness’, Ian is a small hole in the frame to Lina.

She could be nice to other people, but she was not particularly nice to Ian.

Whispers didn’t miss the hole.

After listening to the whispers, all the aggression was directed at Ian.

“…Why did I do that?”

Why? Why did Ian hate him so much?

And now, trapped in consciousness.

Why do I have to remember his face?

Why do I keep thinking of Ian?

“……”

Lina tightened her arms around her knees.

She then remembered as she buried her face in it.

The first meeting with Ian.

◆

At the beginning of the semester when Lina just entered the academy.

This is the story of when the owner of Ian’s body had not yet changed.

Magic modeling practice time.

“Everyone has prepared the materials. Then the class begins.”

At that time, Lina had no money.

After she bought the book, she couldn’t even buy the essentials.

She said that, but it’s embarrassing to say that she just didn’t bring it.

“……”

She put her hand in her desk in desperation.

Of course I won’t touch anything…….

– Basrak

Something caught in my hand.

‘… What?’

With her round eyes, Lina carefully took out a paper bag from her desk.

In the envelope, there was a small note along with practice materials.

Ian Black Angus, the name written at the end with a black hearted comment.

‘… If it’s Ian, he’s a bad rumor.’

Rumors were already circulating that he had been rejected by some girls.

Lina turned her head toward his seat.

Ian hurriedly lowered her head after staring at her.

‘… It’s embarrassing too.”

Lina was troubled.

Is it right to use this?

But it reminded me of her younger siblings who were left in her hometown.

She is not in a position to refuse help from others.

‘… And it’s true that I’m grateful.’

Ian’s bad rumors are just rumors.

To be honest, the first time she opened this envelope, she was grateful and even a little moved. The moment I read the note, I felt burdened and embarrassed.

Slightly, I became interested in Ian.

After that, I felt half uncomfortable, half grateful and half curious.

The same thing happened at lunch.

“Let’s go get something to eat Rina!”

“Oh, over there…”

It’s a burden to buy something to eat outside. I didn’t even bring a packed lunch.

‘… No way.’

She put her hand in her desk just in case.

The lunch box placed on the desk as if it were natural.

“Lina, what are you doing?”

“Ah… Yes! Let’s go!”

That kind of help continued for days.

Without even talking to them.

Always looking in the desk, what Lina needed was magically there.

‘… Isn’t he actually a good kid?’

The wariness towards Ian is also dissipating.

Maybe she’s a good kid.

I feel like this is the first time I’ve been taken care of by someone like this.

At the academy where young students are gathered.

‘… Are you interested in me?’

Pounding.

Slightly sore around the heart.

But it’s not all that bad.

After receiving help like this several times whenever I was in trouble, I naturally became interested.

Then one day, she asked her friends.

“What do you guys think of Ian?”

A casual question to hide your interest in Ian.

“Oh he. I heard he bought Sir Sharon a sword the other day.”

“I’m busy serving Lady Emilia as well.”

“There’s no girl who hasn’t confessed to me. Isn’t that a bit extreme? I feel really bad.”

“Really. Worst of the worst. But Ms. Rina, why are you asking that?”

“Ahahahaha. Nothing. But when did that happen?”

“It was just yesterday.”

On the same day she handed her the prepared food and lunch.

It was clear that he really poked at everyone like a joke. Like the rumored Ian.

Lina bit her lip.

She felt betrayed.

I really hated the fact that I had even the slightest interest in a guy like that. It’s also the first time since coming to the academy.

“…….”

“Huh? Ms. Rina? What’s wrong with your expression? Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

When I came to my senses, I found myself crumpling her face.

“Ah… Ahahahaha. No. I’m a bit dizzy.”

The first feeling of betrayal tasted like undiluted coffee. The mouth is bitter, but there is no dessert to swallow.

It was the first day that Lina’s ‘kindness’ was punctured.

And time passed.

Preparations and food were always placed on the desk, and there were no notes in particular.

She was reluctant to write and eat them, but Lina was too desperate to deal with those feelings.

Then one day at lunch.

Rina searched inside her desk, as was her habit.

Today, for some reason, the lunch box was not included.

‘…Yes, I’d rather not receive it.’

Lina thought that she would starve rather than feel this uncomfortable. After she stays, let’s go to the forest and pick some fruit.

Grabbing her hungry stomach, Lina propped herself on her desk.

— Took.

Lina raised her head to the lunch box placed on the desk.

Ominously dark hair.

Ian Black Angus was standing there.
