I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy-Chapter 106: Helena (1)

Unlike the others, it’s difficult to say that Helena completely likes Felix.

Helena, who hadn’t properly established her feelings, accepted this nonsensical group date to organize her feelings or gain confidence.

The Felix she knew and loved had disappeared.

It wasn’t the fault of the current Felix.

That’s why she erased any feelings of resentment towards him.

Then, what remains now? Is it Felix or not Felix?

Who are her feelings directed towards?

The current Felix? The previous Felix?

She couldn’t define it clearly. It would have been nice if she could consider them the same person.

Or if not, it would have been better if she didn’t know at all.

Helena, who had been thinking like this for a brief moment, shook her head and let go of these useless thoughts.

Now was not the time to think about that. Considering the emotions she felt when she learned the truth, if she had found out later... if she had found out after becoming involved with him...

She would have felt an even greater sense of betrayal. So, now was not the time for such thoughts.

Today could be the biggest turning point in her life.

‘Let’s focus.’

Focusing on today. Helena knew well that this was the most important thing for now.

Therefore, Helena, dressed up more nicely than usual, took a deep breath and looked out the window.

Although she had spent a long time preparing, that time wasn’t boring or difficult.

She usually didn’t dress up or put much effort into her appearance, but today was different.

Looking at the faint dawn rising outside the window, Helena stared at it blankly for a long time.

***

After finishing dates with Ashillya and Sylvia, I fell into deep contemplation.

Because the next person I had to date was Helena.

Helena was the most difficult person for me to deal with. Moreover, unlike the others, Helena wasn’t someone who liked me.

‘I’m nervous like never before.’

I thought I wouldn’t be nervous because I often went to the city with Helena, but it was the opposite.

No, thinking about it, maybe it’s natural since we haven’t gone out together since the situation became like this.

Taking a small breath, I finished preparing and headed to the meeting place, trying to calm my nervous heart.

I left the academy and entered the city. Unlike the previous two, Helena had called me to a different place.

‘...Ugh.’

I shivered with an inexplicable chill and started walking.

Surely, she wouldn’t kidnap me and bury me in some dark place.

Being nervous brings up all sorts of thoughts. I didn’t even know why I was so nervous.

Exhaling to shake off the tension, I arrived at the meeting place. It was still early in the morning.

“...Helena?”

At the carriage station, Helena was already waiting.

Her blue hair shone dazzlingly, and her face was whiter than snow.

Large, beautiful eyes, a straight nose bridge, and lips with a faint red tinge.

At the same time, seeing the black matching dress that made Helena’s white skin shine even more, I let out a small exclamation inside.

‘...Felix, you bastard, how could you look at anyone else when you had this Helena?’

Of course, I couldn’t help but criticize my previous self.

If asked who was more beautiful, Sylvia or Helena, Helena’s beauty was beyond imagination, to the point where it would be difficult to choose easily.

I closed my eyes briefly, then opened them and met Helena’s gaze looking back at me.

“...Hello.”

“Hi.”

Responding quietly to Helena’s greeting, I moved to her side.

Although it was still early, quite a few people were walking on the street.

Feeling their gazes focus on Helena, I asked her,

“Where are we going?”

Unlike other dates, Helena had said she would plan the course today, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) so I could only ask purely out of curiosity.

She blinked slowly at my question, looked at me, smiled slightly and started walking without a word.

‘...Ha.’

Swallowing a dry laugh inside at that sight, I quietly followed behind her.

Like with Ashillya and Sylvia, I thought I had dressed up and prepared well, but standing next to them always made me feel shabby for some reason I couldn’t quite understand.

‘Is it a matter of innate quality?’

If that’s the case, if my previous world self had stood next to them, I would have really looked like a squid.

Is it because of Felix’s face that I can somewhat compare?

‘...Well, that wouldn’t have happened.’

I wouldn’t have had the chance to become close to them in my previous world, so it was just a needless worry.

“Felix?”

“Ah, I’m coming.”

Lost in thought for a moment, my steps had slowed, but at Helena’s voice, I came to my senses and hurriedly followed her.

The place Helena headed was unexpectedly a certain carriage.

“Welcome.”

Receiving the greeting from the carriage driver, I got on the carriage and blinked slowly as I sat down on the seat.

“Why didn’t we use your family’s carriage?”

After all, Helena and I are children of noble families.

Of course, we were in a position to use a carriage if we wanted to. Nevertheless, Helena was deliberately using a carriage from the station.

“Just because?”

Looking at Helena briefly as she avoided answering my question with a faint smile, I shrugged.

Well, I guess there are days like this, too.

Although it was a carriage commonly used by everyone, its condition wasn’t bad, so I didn’t feel much discomfort.

“Where are we going?”

“Well, you’ll know when we get there.”

“But why are we going outside?”

I didn’t leave the city in the two previous dates.

That was because the city near the academy had various sights and food all around. But Helena seemed to think differently.

“Just because? We’ve already been all around here, right?”

Come to think of it, I remember going around every corner of the city with Helena.

Perhaps Helena had thought about these things when deciding where we would go today.

Seeing Helena answer casually, I nodded.

Well, she surely wouldn’t actually kidnap me.

***

“Helena?”

As if she had already told the driver our destination, the carriage ran without hesitation.

My expectation that we would go somewhere nearby was completely off the mark.

The carriage ran for about two hours before stopping with the announcement that we had arrived.

Tired from preparing since early morning, Helena had fallen asleep briefly. I woke her up, got off the carriage first, and paid the driver.

“...Hmm.”

After helping Helena down from the carriage by holding her hand, I looked around and sighed.

It was a place I remembered.

At the same time, it was a place not in my memories.

It seemed Helena had chosen a place she had visited with the previous Felix as the place for us to spend today.

Looking at the view of a quiet village with gently rolling fields spread out, I stood still momentarily. Then Helena tapped my shoulder and started walking ahead with big strides.

...I really couldn’t gauge Helena’s thoughts.

But since I had decided to leave everything to her today, I could only quietly follow behind her.

Although we met early in the morning, the sun had almost fully risen.

I frowned momentarily at the flood of Felix’s memories rushing in.

His memories were something that suddenly poured out when seeing a particular situation or scenery, or when placed in the same situation.

‘...This place.’

It seemed to be where Helena and Felix had briefly stopped before entering the academy.

I didn’t know what Helena was trying to do here, where her and his memories remained. Still, I didn’t say anything knowing that she was also suppressing some troubled feelings.

Felix was a very important person to Helena.

At the same time, he was the person she had loved so much.

Whether she intended to reminisce about her memories with him or project him onto me, I couldn’t express dissatisfaction.

I simply hoped that Helena would let go of her lingering feelings for Felix as soon as possible and live happily.

Of course.

‘That won’t be easy.’

She can’t let go of someone she loved so much in an instant.

I don’t have memories of loving someone so passionately.

But I guess that’s how it would be.

With these thoughts, I started following her with heavy steps.
