Once Those Wings Fly, You Cant Ever Stop Them [Part 2]

Emma had been talked about as the fake holy maiden these days, but the students started to wonder why she was called a fake.

The Church only said that Lady Joanna is the Holy Maiden, right?

The Church had only announced Lady Joanna as the Holy Maiden.

Emmas deeds so far floated in their mind.

She hadnt done anything that deserved everyones criticism.

W-Why did we call her a fake

The students felt ashamed for being swayed easily by rumors and started blaming themselves.

It was unfortunate that they were currently being swayed by yet another rumor, though

No, wait, the criticisms she received for being away during the most-important social season were warranted. It couldnt be helped that people would blame her. Moreover, she didnt attend the academy for weeks, even after the new semester started.

Even so, one student spoke his mind.

It was simply outrageous for a noble to not socialize. Especially, overseas travel and the like were not allowed during the period when the envoys from the Empire visited. As securing cotton is the top priority for the Kingdom.

Nonetheless, that one imaginative student was one step ahead of everyone else.

What if she hadnt gone sightseeing but to get medical treatment abroad? Imperial Japan is an unexplored land, isnt it? Most likely, none of the doctors or medicine House Stuart has gathered from all around the world with their wealth can cure Emma-sama. Perhaps the only way to save Emma-sama, the one and only hope can only be found in the country no one has ever set foot in before, Imperial Japan?

It was just an imaginary story.

Yet, the faces of the students who were listening to it became more and more distorted by sadness in no time.

E-Emma-sama I feel so sorry for her

I no, we all believed those rumors without ever questioning them and ended up saying something like the fake holy maiden to Emma-sama when she has only been struggling desperately to live What terrible things have I done

Hey, oi! Emma-sama will be saved, right?

The students who had been listening seriously without interrupting sought an answer from that one super-imaginative student.

The pitiful her has surely been successfully healed in Imperial Japan and then The students hoped in their hearts

No matter how much they searched, the doctor and medicine that can cure Emma-sama didnt exist in Imperial Japan.

However, the answer coming out of that one super-imaginative students mouth was telling them she was already beyond saving.

No way!

Considering Emma-samas deteriorating physical condition, it was inevitable that she wasnt able to return to the Kingdom even after the start of the academys new semester. Its inevitable for her Its inevitable for her, yet Emma-sama w-wants to go to school like a normal young lady, so she exerts herself

This had already turned into his uninterruptable one-man show.

At normal times, he was just one inconspicuous student among many others. Just that his imaginations were a little bit more over-active.

But he had unknowingly opened Pandoras box with no turning back

for he had used his imagination to project Emma, the main cause of every single commotion that had happened so far.

Uughh, *sob* Emma-sama!

What a noble soul!

Its a lie Tell me its just a lie!!!

It was a lie.

It was an outright lie.

In fact, around this time, Emma was stuffing her mouth greedily with the spaghetti napolitan Melsa had cooked, intending to make up for the lunch meal she skipped today at the academy.

However, a new turmoil would automatically be triggered as long as the conditions were met, even if the main cause of all commotions werent present.

No, it had been triggered.

After staying silent for a long time, the tight-lipped super-imaginative student began speaking slowly.

If Emma had been here, she would surely insert, Its all in his head. In reality, it was but a big fat lie. Rather, doesnt he have loose lips? as a punchline.

However, the academy at this moment had become the stage for his one-man show without anyone playing the straight man.

The wings of his imagination, the wings of Emmas commotion, had already been stretched to their limit and were ready to take off.

The next seizure will be fatal was what the doctor said to her family. Emma-samas brothers have been supporting her desperately until the very last minute to fulfill her wish to let her live like a normal young lady and yet

And yet?!

In the end, today, the seizure the seizure that the doctor said would take her life the next time it happened occurred. George-sama and William-sama were frozen in place from the shock and despair of losing Emma-sama Is this not the truth?

Eh? Youre lying, right? Emma-sama will die

That cant be!

W-Waaaaahhhhhh!

The assumptions born by the wild imagination of a single student would, of course, not stay as what the students promised to be [the talk just between us] but spread to every corner of the academy within the same day.

Authors corner:

Serious: I have always thought Im the one who rules over this story.

Comedy: Unfortunately for you, the one who rules over this story is me.

Crisis: Huh? You called? I feel like someone called me just now.
