160 – Alone
Alone
“Miss Abigail didn’t come today either. What’s the matter?”
“I’m going to make money as I always do. He has to do everything by himself.”
Zeroa speaks anxiously, but Aslan answers casually.
At the break, many academy students left the academy.
A few days after Arya visited Zeroa’s house, she left the academy, and Miado, who had spent the last break at the academy, briefly returned to see her worried parents.
If you think about it, except for Diana and Mia, who came in late, the children learning from Rai had no reason to go elsewhere during the break.
Philia and Asran ran out of the house, and Abigail has no home.
Not to mention Zeroa who lived in Legandia.
So even during the break, they gather in the garden and continue to be trained by Rai, so they know each other’s circumstances well.
It is said that they train almost every day, but sometimes they fall out depending on their circumstances.
All four of them were earning their tuition and living expenses alone, Asran and Zeroa occasionally requested adventurers, and Abigail did not tell the others about it, but did a little dangerous work.
Philia earns her living as a tutor.
She doesn’t care about Abigail because each one of them misses a day or two, but she’s worried about Abigail, who hasn’t been seen for the third day already.
And Philia didn’t look good either.
It’s not because of Abigail. Her eyes were only on Diana.
“Lykang, look at this. I have calluses like this.”
“You’ve become a little warrior now.”
“Ehehehe- It’s very awkward. Everyone has lived with this kind of touch. Touch it, it’s hard.”
“Why are you touching a hand that is not soft?”
“Eh- Then, would you like to touch something soft?”
Philia’s eyebrows furrow as she sees Diana opening her eyes thinly and slightly opening the front.
She has been a philia who has no feelings for her until now, but the longer she is trained by Rai, the more she gets on her nerves.
She pounces on The Rye as if she’s teasing, especially when she feels her self’s gaze.
She pretends to be indifferent, but Rai, who sees through her chest bone that is slightly visible, is also her pissed off philia.
“Ahahahaha, Raikang is a pervert.”
Diana sees Rai’s gaze in her and covers her clothes.
Until now, I have kept the line in moderation, but I don’t know what it would be like in a place where there are no people.
Zeroa and Aslan next to her quietly stare at her and watch her, but her spirit of Philia is only poured into Diana, so she doesn’t notice.
After completing her training, Philia goes to meet Sesset.
Tomorrow, the 3-3 will go back to their parents’ house. I haven’t seen her for a while, so I had to watch her a lot now.
The two spend time wandering the streets before settling down in a secluded teahouse.
After chatting about many topics for a long time, Sesset leans over to Philia with her mischievous expression.
“How is it with Raicang?”
“What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with the instructor.”
“You like it.”
“I don’t like it. Not at all. I don’t like it.”
Until now, I’ve been hanging around Rai and sending out lots of signals that I like him, but I don’t know what kind of stubbornness this is.
Even if she reduced her stubbornness a little, she would become a cute woman, but the disappointed three-set shrugged her shoulders and held out the book she had prepared.
“What is this?”
“101 Ways to seduce men. A book by Margarida, the godmother of society, who has a legend of seducing 200 men.”
“It seems great, but as a human being, it’s a legend.”
Philia examines the cover of her book with her nonchalant eyes.
But she noticed that there was a faint interest in it, and she smiled a little and quickly erased it.
She has a cute face of a friend who is curious but she is here and if she laughs she will run away again.
“I don’t need this. I don’t care.”
Philia, who can’t take her eyes off of her even if she says so, 3-3 holds back the corner of her cute mouth.
“The title is a bit blatant, but it’s a better book than I thought. You can learn socialite know-how and negotiation skills that you can’t learn in simple etiquette classes.”
“That would definitely help.”
She bit the bait.
When she gives the justification that she has nothing to do with flirting with men, she sees Philia snapping and her eyes go down.
“Then next semester, see you next year Philly.”
“Huh? Go already?”
“There are many things to prepare before going back to my parents’ house. Please forgive my rudeness.”
Sesset’s escort, Rin, notices her intentions and quickly provides support.
Something in her is a little suspicious, but she can’t help it, as her philia nods her head and gets up from her seat, and sesset hugs her.
“Filly, I’m always on Philly’s side, you know?”
“Yeah, I’m on the three-three side too.”
Philia breaks up with Cesset and returns to Rai’s house.
Rai’s house is crowded.
From Aslan, who settled first, to Sena and Agnes, who occupied the basement, and to himself, the house is lively at night.
After everyone gathers together for a simple dinner and goes back to her room, Philia sits on the bed and reads her tactics manual, and suddenly comes to mind the book Se-Seth gave her.
‘101 Ways to seduce a man.’
This is a book that I do not want to read because the title is too obvious.
Philia smiles and puts it to her side, holding up her tactical textbook again.
“……”
She’s holding the textbook, but her eyes are still fixed on the book Sesset gave her.
‘Yes, it’s the book that three three gave me, but out of etiquette, I should read it at least once.’
Justifying her self, Philia picks up a book.
The title was explicit, but the content was even more explicit.
Philia’s eyes widen when she sees a book that describes not only meeting a man, but also how to hold her in bed.
Philia, whose cheeks were red, probably thanks to a small light source that glowed orange, stayed up all night and immersed herself in her reading.

“I’ll go to my parents’ house for a while.”
The next morning, Aslan speaks at everyone’s gathering.
“Come, go and don’t come back.”
“What are you saying, without me you’d be lonely.”
Responding to Rai’s words, Aslan shows her letter.
“It looks like you and the older brother have a hard time preparing a place. There will definitely be a fight again, but since it’s a place where you’ve worked hard, at least his face should be reflected.”
“Wow- you have normal thoughts sometimes. Your brother is a good person, so don’t be upset.”
Athran, who has good acting power, leaves right after eating.
From noble mtl dot com
There is already a wagon prepared by his older brother Rawls in front of the academy gate, so he said that all he had to do was leave his body and walk away without preparing anything.
“I’m going to play with Kara unnie. I put my lunch on the stove. If it’s cold, it won’t taste good, so warm it up and eat it.”
She is nominally Rai’s maid, but as the free Senna goes out, she says.
She first met Zeroa’s younger sister during a horseback riding competition, and now she’s quite close and goes to her street often.
“Don’t touch the dried laundry because I’m going back and walk it. And mister, I told you to eat it on a coaster.”
Senna comes back and puts a coaster under Rai’s drinking glass.
“It leaves marks on the table. I have to say a few times.”
“Yes, come play, Mom.”
“Put your drinking glass in the right amount of water.”
Senna nags while wiping the table and then leaves.
After Sena, who has good living power, leaves, there are only two people left in the living room.
“……”
Ray is lying on the sofa and reading a book, and Philia is just staring.
Philia, thinking of the 13 policies to do when alone with a man, is startled when Rai looks up.
“Why, why?”
“I want to ask you. Why are you so nervous?”
“Oh, uh. That, tea! You haven’t finished your tea? Can I make some more?”
“……That’s it?”
As soon as Rai said anything, Philia jumped up and took the glass he was drinking and quickly headed towards the kitchen.
Philia, who doesn’t know why she’s so nervous, puts a bunch of tea leaves in the teapot and pours her water into it.
Taking a deep breath and calming her mind, she sets her cup and teapot down in front of her rye.
“Here.”
She then sits down next to Rai.
‘132P Paragraph 3. Always keep a subtle distance when sitting next to you. I have to make the other person approach me, not me.’
Philia, who completely memorized the contents of the book with her outstanding intelligence, was following the teachings of her teacher, Margarida.
But since Rai occupied the entire three-person sofa, she said that Philia was sitting around his waist.
She’s lying on her side, so there’s no room for her legs. She’s a philia sitting where she can be far away, but from the side, she’s like an intimate lover.
“……”
“Tea, have tea.”
Philia tilts the teapot and fills her cup, as if Rai’s silent stare is burdensome.
As Rai half raises her body, her face closes.
Ignoring her deep breath, Rai grabs her glass and drinks.
As she watched his side profile closely, Philia’s heart thumped.
“How are you?”
“Hmm… Thick.”
“Do you like dark things?”
“Oh, I like it. Not as much as this.”
Lai, who drank strong tea that was made with half tea leaves and half water, felt that the more she drank, the more her mouth dried up, and lay down again to drink the tea.
‘141P 12 paragraph. Light touch. Respond positively to what the other person has to say and pat him lightly on the shoulder.’
Philia grunts and clears her throat.
“Do you have any plans today?”
“There’s nothing in particular? Zeroa also said that he might not come today, so you’ll probably watch the training.”
“That’s a great attitude.”
She nods her head and pats her rai on the shoulder.
However, Philia’s touch was a little different from her book.
As her superior patted her direct subordinate as if comforting her, Rai stared blankly at Philia’s hand, which felt the strong pressure.
“It feels like the first time I’ve felt it in 15 years. No, maybe it’s been 20 years?”
‘It works.’
It was the moment when Margarida’s confidence rose.
She seems to be familiar with women, but the excitement she feels after 20 years. It was a great effect.
Philia smirking at her and touching her shoulder was a scary lie.
As she thinks of her next step, the door to her cellar opens and Agnes emerges.
She is an undead that is poisonous to sunlight. She is always a sleepy girl during the day, but sometimes when she wakes up, she comes out to get a snack or something to drink.
Of course, at the right time.
Meeting her eyes with Philia, Agnes sees the eyes of the beast and her body stiffens.
As she looked at her fearful eyes telling her not to aim for my prey, Agnes put her foot back and slowly closed the door.
‘Mr. Lai, what did you do wrong?’
Agnes prays for Rai’s soul and goes down to the basement again.
‘Didn’t you come out to get something to eat?’
Unable to understand Agnes’ actions, Philia tilts her head and looks down at Rai.
It’s time to be alone.
A time like this was rare because Aslan and Senna were always there.
She was a philia who simply put her hand on her shoulder but felt the warmth flowing from her hand.
She, on the other hand, was terrified of Rai as she smiled and felt the strength in her hand gripping her shoulder.

“Today’s request has been cancelled. I bought fried chicken from the morning this morning, so I bought it, but I want to eat it with you…”
As Zeroa enters with a bright smile, she sees two people sitting.
Clenched hands. Eyes not to disturb hunting time.
No matter how cunning Zero she is, she is not blind to this danger.
“Breakfast was good but…”
As Rai tries to get up, she suddenly sees Zeroa shoving her fried chicken into her mouth and loses her words.
Hot steam rises, but Zeroa, who has poured all of her into her mouth, smiles awkwardly with her puffy cheeks.
“Lee Jae, how are you?”
“……”
“Mahim, another heal has been created, so let’s talk about it.”
Zeroa bursts into tears as the hot fried chicken fills her mouth and runs away.
“What is that?”
“Sure. What’s going on?”
Philia, unable to understand his behavior, tilts her head.
Rai shrugs her shoulders and lies down again. Philia doesn’t know what caused her, thinking she’s somehow lucky, and she doesn’t think much of it.
“Would you like some more tea?”
“No, I’m not hungry now.”
“Then, can I get you a snack? There are cookies that Sesset gave you yesterday.”
Philia gets up immediately after Rai nods her head and goes to the kitchen cupboard.
She’s a little bit, but the thought of getting closer to Rai makes her heart flutter.
Philia returns to the living room in a bright mood with a small smile while holding a box of cookies from her cupboard in her arms.
“Don’t think it’s strange that we lay together, Raikang.”
This b*tch year.
When she came back, Diana was there when she came.
It is also lying next to Lai, leaning her head on her shoulder, looking at her book.
She was Diana with ferocious eyes, but rather her eyes grew thinner and she rubbed her head against her shoulder.
“Hey, it’s annoying, so go lie down.”
“Eh- I don’t like it. It’s the most comfortable here.”
Seeing Diana lightly putting her hand on Rai’s chest and posing as if she were hugging her, Philia trembled.
As Diana meets her killer’s eyes and smiles brightly, Philia feels something snapping in her head.
Putting the box she had brought on the tea table, Philia looked down at the two of them and then lifted her feet.
Diana and her legs crossed between Lai and the sofa, and Philia lay down and occupied the opposite side of her Lai.
“Hey, it’s narrow. What are you guys doing?”
“I’m falling, I’m falling! Kyaaak.”
Diana pretends to be in her urgency and hugs Rai tight.
Philia, who frowned at her never losing sight of her, also hugs her rai.
“……”
“Do you feel good?”
Looking up at Diana, who doesn’t mind Philia hugging her rai, she asks.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a guy, but why don’t you be a little self-respecting?”
“Eh- if it’s good, it’s good. Look, Philia likes it too.”
Her seat was narrow, so Philia, who was almost on top of Rai, her face turned red.
Pleasantly hugged, Philia, who received the gaze of the two close to her face, bowed her head in shame.
“You’re so cute- Laikang, will you go on like this? I don’t care if it’s Philia.”
“Stop talking nonsense, come back bigger.”
“Eh- you’re unkind. Then I’ll come back later with a full body, so let’s stay like this for now.”
Diana said that and hugged Rai tighter.
As if she would not give up, Philia also hugged her tightly, and her soft skin came pressure from both sides of her.
She was a rye with concentration that was incomparable to others, but she was so strong that she couldn’t concentrate on her reading.
