The depth of darkness🕯️

Part 6(English)

He walked with short and uncertain steps and entered the semi-dark and unfamiliar room in front of him.

The rectangular and rather large writing desk was placed at the end of the room and showed its black color in the golden light of the room.

The files and sheets that were arranged neatly and patiently on top of each other and the pens and pencils that were placed together in the cylindrical pen holder showed the importance of the manager's regularity.

The old chocolate-colored furniture arranged in front of the desk and the manager's desk and the wooden table in the middle of the room gave a pleasant feeling to the anxious person who had just entered the room.

The closet for offices and files were hidden in the darkness of the shadows created in the room and were not visible.

After analyzing the room, the boy once again turned his emerald green eyes and looked at the person who was leaning on the old chair behind the desk and wearing a black robe like the other officials he had encountered on the first day of his arrival.

The stranger, whom he knew as the principal of the school, had his face turned towards the window behind him and was staring at the silver-colored moon that stood out like flakes in the sky.
Contrary to the boy's expectation, the hat of the man's robe was not on his head, and his short gray hair, which was a sign of his aging, was fully visible.

His anxiety had disappeared and was replaced by a small anger in the boy's heart.

"' How come he summoned me to come here but now he doesn't even pay attention to me?!!"'

His long black eyebrows crossed and he frowned.
Before anything could come out of his mouth, the man turned from his chair and turned to Yuichiro who was waiting at the door and asked, "Amane Yuichiro, right?" The black-haired boy, who was a little embarrassed, nodded his head several times in approval.
The old man gave a pleasant smile that made the boy regret the judgment he had made so quickly.

With his smile not budging an inch or changing, he asked Yu to sit on one of the sofas.
Yu also obeyed and sat silently.

The seemingly calm and kind headmaster of the Rodley Grylls Boarding School locked his gray eyes on the boy in front of him and began his conversation with the new boy with his seductive smile.

_ Have you found a friend?

His green eyes filled with excitement and he answered, "Yes, I really didn't think that I could find a friend so quickly."

_ I am glad for you ...

_ Well, how is your roommate?!

Yu paused.
He thought for a few minutes and said with despair: "Everyone says that he is a monster and that he is a mischievous and strange person, and some people are even afraid of him, but with what I had seen of him and the help he gave me and even  He was the first person who stepped forward to be my friend...
I do not know what to do...
But...but I don't want to lose a lot of friends and others because of one person....
Does that mean I'm doing something wrong?
Now that I'm paying attention when I didn't pay attention to Mika during dinner because of others... I still feel the torment of his conscience in my heart....
Is he really not a good person?
I am sure that you, as the principal of the school, must know the children here better than anyone else....
What do you think I should do?!"

The elderly man removed the thoughts of the younger boy with a short sentence: "If I were you, I wouldn't be friends with Mikaela..."
Surprised, Yu stared at the man in front of him, whose smile had now faded a little.

He didn't expect such an answer, but he stared at the man and listened to what he continued to say.

_ Mika is not a bad boy, But its name did not look good in this school And if you go along with it, it will slowly destroy the illusion name among others.
So here you not only lose others and your other friends, but also your name will be bad and you will become someone like Mikaela.

Yu lowered his head.
He needed to think.
The school principal's words were completely logical to him, but the torment of conscience in his heart did not allow him to accept these words.

His train of thought was interrupted by the manager's words.

_ But now...
_ I told you to come here for another reason, Yuichiro-san.

Trembling, he was waiting for the reaction of the person in front of him and his thoughts were busy with what was going to happen to him....

Anonymous raised his hand and removed the hat that prevented his face from being seen, revealing his shapely blond hair.
His red eyes flashed in the candle light, which had illuminated the space in a strange way, and he looked at the surprised boy, and his fangs opened up to his ears And with a special enthusiasm and energy that it was not clear where it was coming from, he said, "Hello, little brother."
