65 – noticed
A few days after returning from the church, I was awakened by a knock on the dorm door.
Classes were still suspended, so I was taking a leisurely nap, but I didn’t know how to stop the sound of that guy knocking.
I thought it would go away if I pretended not to be there and ignored it, but it stayed like that for 30 minutes as if I knew everything about it.
“… who are you.”
When I opened the dorm door with a voice mixed with annoyance, I saw Elaine with a frown on her face.
Elaine, who had both an expression and a teary-skinned face, immediately shouted as soon as she saw my bland face.
“Bae, Count! Are you going to sleep all day?!”
“What… .”
I’m speechless, so I’m speechless.
What’s wrong with sleeping on days when there are no classes?
“What is it, Elaine?”
After staring at Elaine protesting for a while with her eyes closed, Elaine finally gets to the point.
He put down the black backpack he was carrying on his back.
“Did you eat?”
“I didn’t. I just got up because of someone.”
After coming back from the church, I had eggs cut all over my body and I was lying in bed, and there was nothing to do but sleep.
I also defeated Mephisto, and I don’t know if it’s because of the fatigue of the past.
“Then me! Can I make you a meal?”
“you?”
“it can not… ?”
I leaned my back against the wall and thought about what had happened the other day.
‘You must have cooked once before, right?’
After the fight with Mephisto, the day he followed me to the dormitory, saying that he would take care of the sick.
The day I messed around with my room cleaning, massage, and cooking that I didn’t even ask for.
‘Looks like it went well.’
He made bread in the shape of a goblin, saying it was a specialty of the capital.
The taste was the same as any other bread, but I remember that it was good to eat because it tasted okay.
Originally, there is a separate person in charge of cooking at the main character’s party, but she has cooking skills that are not too bad in the game, to the extent that Elaine sometimes does it.
She is compared to Raina, who grew up as a flower in a greenhouse and can’t do housework at all.
Of course, that’s part of Reina’s charm.
I went into the room holding my bag in front of the door and nodding to Elaine who was looking at me.
“Come in.”
I didn’t ask for it, and he said he’d do it, so there’s no reason to refuse.

girls’ dormitory.
The floor where the magic elevator stops in the middle.
There, Reina, a beautiful woman with brilliant light purple hair, kept fiddling with the elevator button.
“… .”
The place where she touches and takes off is none other than the middle floor of the dormitory.
It was connected to the male and female dormitories by a bridge, so unless you went to the first floor, it was the only place where you could come and go.
Beep-
When the button is pressed, the elevator door closes and begins a slow descent.
Reina looked at the ever-changing scenery outside and searched for memories from the past.
Right after Mephisto stepped down, her gaze was directed to only one place.
It was Lian, her ex-fiancé and the main figure in the eradication of Mephisto.
He acted casually, but because it was Reina who had been watching him for a long time, he was able to notice the small change.
His actions with his hands on his sides without anyone noticing, and the subtle cold sweats.
Even the gait that was different from usual.
It is clear that he overdoes it in the battle with the devil, but he does not show it.
It might seem conceited to some, but it didn’t work for Reina.
It was clear that he had been injured, whether small or large, in the fight with Mine.
“Ms. Iceteen?”
“hello.”
Upon arriving at the middle floor, the students gathered around them gathered around and greeted Reina one by one.
Not being obsessed with class was the keynote here at Phrygia Academy, but class was something that could not be ignored.
She is the son of a full-fledged imperial duke.
Even if I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but get a lot of attention from people around me.
“Miss Aistin, have you eaten?”
“If it’s okay, come with us—”
“sorry. I have a prior arrangement.”
Rejecting the outstretched hands to prepare a stepping stone for success, Reina passed through the central aisle and headed for the men’s dormitory.
“Oh, the men’s dormitory?”
“Then, what is a prior covenant with a man?”
‘It’s not a prior promise, it’s just that I’m going to check on my health as a classmate.’
As Reina headed straight to the boys’ dormitory, the names of the sons of nobles went up and down among the girls, but no one could guess.
I never thought that the proud duke’s princess would be heading to her former fiancé’s room.

“Uh, how are you… ?”
As I scooped out the blooming vermilion lump and put it in my mouth, Elaine asked with a worried look.
You can feel the bittersweet seasoning spreading in your mouth and the savory taste of the meat when you crush the chunks.
Although the name is different, it was the taste of meatballs seen in modern times.
“Five.”
I was honestly surprised.
I never thought I would be able to experience this taste here.
So, I sincerely praised Elaine.
“I didn’t know you could cook so well. It is one of the few dishes I have eaten recently.”
“I, really? Wow!”
Elaine jumped up and overjoyed at my praise.
The corners of my mouth go up involuntarily at the visibly happy look.
I can cook to a certain extent, and I have a good personality.
I don’t know who it will be, but the one who takes Elaine must be a lucky bastard.
Of course, as long as I exist, there will be no romance with Siegfried, the main character.
Because I can progress the main story enough without getting involved with him.
I don’t even want to see him messing around with that guy who’s in a bad mood.
“Now you eat too. Don’t look at me.”
“I’m OK! Just watching the Count eat makes you full.”
“Are you my mother?”
We ate all of Elaine’s food while talking nonsense.
I was going to wash the dishes out of conscience, but Elaine insisted that I didn’t even do that.
What is it?
Are you continuing the nursing care that you couldn’t do last time?
‘but. I was asleep in my bed then.’

Just like last time, get a neck and limb massage from Elaine and clean up the messy room,
Another popular movement was felt outside.
“Elain. Have you called a friend?”
“Yes… ?”
Looking at the reaction, it seems like I’m not Elaine’s friend.
But did anyone ever come here?
Elaine, you could say it’s an extension of the last hospital visit, but
I don’t remember living an academy life so fulfilling that my classmates would come to my room.
Or has it been rumored that he is sick because he has not been seen outside lately?
‘Could it be Bella?’
Come to think of it, it is time for classes to resume.
“Stay here a minute. Don’t come out.”
I left behind Elaine, who was sitting on the floor, and went towards the front door.
A familiar face as soon as you open the door without hesitation.
“Reina?”
There was Reina with her arms crossed, her silky light purple hair hanging down.
“… .”
‘what?’
I quietly blinked my eyes at the situation in front of me.
why is he here
Reina crossed her arms and wiggled her fingers as if she didn’t like something.
“What is going on?”
There’s no way he’ll come to visit me privately.
Did you get a word from Bella about the class?
Other than that, I don’t remember.
“… .”
“If you don’t have anything to say, close it.”
“… you.”
As I was about to close the door, Reina’s cool voice stopped me.
After looking at it still, he paused again and then continued talking.
“I haven’t seen you for a while.”
“Because there is no way to get out. Rather, I respect the kids who go out and chat every day.”
“Then have you been in your room all week?”
“right.”
Not to be precise, but there was no way Reina had come before that, so I just covered it up.
“Do you have anything to tell me? I thought it was about time.”
“at the time?”
“Aren’t you here to talk about the resumption of the semester?”
“It’s not like that.”
Then why did he come?
Looking at his expression, it doesn’t seem like he came for class, and it doesn’t look like he’s been asked to do anything.
But again, there’s no way Raina would visit me, her ex-fiance, for no reason.
“… It was too invisible, so I just came to check if there was a violent death.”
“It’s such a tearful worry.”
“It’s not because we have to worry, we have to check whether we survive as a class. Unless you are free to go outside like now, you should definitely check the number of people—”
“Yeah, I got it. It’s okay because you’re alive, right?”
“… It looks like it.”
“yes. then.”
“Now, wait a minute.”
When the door was half closed, Rayna grabbed the doorknob.
“That, where you were hurt—”
“Count?”
At that time, Reina stopped talking and Elaine approached from behind.
Is it because of my mood that Elaine’s voice felt colder than usual?
Rayna’s eyes widened when she saw her.
“Eh, Miss Elaine why… ?”
He stammered to the point of being quite surprised and pointed at Elaine, who was seated behind me.
“Ah, did you come to visit me in the hospital?”
“Count, I made a dessert inside, so go eat it!”
“dessert?”
“hehehe, I made it simple. Hurry up and eat. I’ll massage your arms ‘again’!”
“Wait a minute, I haven’t finished talking to Reina yet.”
“I’ll take it to the princess, so come on… It’s getting cold!”
“Ah, got it.”
Suddenly, Elaine started pushing me into the room pushing my back.
He is in a hurry to see what he has prepared.
Are you planning on taking care of yourself today?
Except for the frown, there was nothing wrong with it, but being taken care of like this wasn’t bad either, so I was pushed into the room without hesitation.
“ah… .”
Leaving behind Reina, who seemed to be putting on a sad expression, I went straight back to the room.
Mc receives “Obsession”
Too many hints that Elaine like the MC, but MC didnt want to move tsk tsk always talking about the plot in the right path, he didn’t even consider that the butterfly effect was so big that many people starting to change and future now is uncertain because of him.
😮💨 Im starting to lost interest on this one.
Lmao
‘Again’ = Elaine’s deliberate attempt to annoy Reina by making it clear that she’s already given Ryan an arm massage in the past
Yep, these girls are definitely seeing each other as rivals when it comes to the MC haha.
