19 – Enya and Isabella’s gift
“Haam…”
I overslept last night making equipment until late in the morning.
After rubbing my eyes with my messy hair, I checked the time and it was already 8:30.
Since the class match starts at 10:00, if the preparation time is tight, it can be seen as tight.
“Aww!”
But I stretched out leisurely.
After all, I’m staying in the inn attached to the blacksmith’s academy.
You can reach the test center in 5 minutes on foot.
Even if you wash, eat, and do everything, you still have time.
I rubbed my stomach and leisurely moved to the shower room.
Shaaa…
Hot water pouring over your head.
I love this time of being bruised while being bathed in warm water.
It feels strangely healing.
As I wiped the white steamed mirror, a handsome boy came into view.
She looks good even with her wet hair pulled back, braided hair, or mohican with foam.
As expected, the handsome face of the possessed guy is a national rule.
I like that cliché very thoroughly.
“ha ha ha! Ed! Good morning? My son looks good even in the shower.”
At that time, James stuck out his face and said good morning.
Now I’m used to James’s arms, so I replied with a smile.
“You woke up.”
“yes! Is today an important day? I cooked your favorite kimchi stew, so you can wash it and bring it!”
“Oh, kimchi jjigae? I know.”
Kimchi stew.
James knows how to cook kimchi stew.
This is because I taught them how to make kimchi and how to cook kimchi stew.
The hardest thing about being in a different world was missing the hometown food so much, but I was able to perfectly restore the kimchi jjigae using my memories as much as possible.
bubbling bubbling…
As soon as I came out of the shower, the delicious smell stung my nose.
Kimchi stew made with Macbeth’s pork broth.
Seriously, I think it’s going to be a big hit even if you do a catering business with this.
James’ cooking skills were also excellent.
“Did you wash everything? Just in time! come and listen”
Gobong rice and various side dishes placed in each seat.
And James, who is carrying kimchi stew in the center of the table.
I brushed my hair, put on my underwear and shirt, and went to the dining table.
Before lifting the spoon, I said ‘I will eat well’ and took a spoonful of soup.
Hurulup.
It is an acknowledgment.
As I quietly raise my thumb, James smiles broadly and shrugs.
“Hmm…”
Soon after, while eating, I prepared for the class match.
The level of ‘engineering thinking’ rises to level 3, and the newly acquired derived skill, ‘hologram’ is used.
So now, next to my bowl of soup, there was a hologram modeled after my body.
There were 37 mana stones planted all over the body, and I was contemplating how much mana to distribute to each mana stone.
“Ha ha ha! Ed, do you see here? This is all about praising my son!”
James, however, was not particularly impressed by this bizarre spectacle.
I learned the hologram a week ago.
It’s because I’ve seen myself using holograms many times.
Rather, I was busy reading the newspapers in which my articles were published.
“Ummm… to increase the output more…”
“Also! cancer. The article should be like this.”
“This would slow it down. This part needs to be supplemented.”
“Big. I should have been there. To be baptized with applause from nobles?”

Like this, we are broadcasting in each region.
The relationship between James and I was like a best friend with only the father and son skins on, so even if we did other things while eating, it was comfortable even if we didn’t have to respond to each other’s words.
It’s like a best friend vibe living together in a 10 pyeong two-room.
We get along well, drinking together sometimes, having engineering discussions, and playing card games.
“uh? father. I’ll be back. Now the time is up.”
It just seemed too comfortable.
I casually checked my watch, it was 9:40.
I hurriedly put on my clothes and roughly styled my hair.
I left the house with James sending me off, telling me not to get hurt and do well.
My steps were light, probably because I had a full stomach.
***
The main auditorium of Building 7 of the Basic Tactics Department.
That was the gathering place for the day.
On his way there, Ed was greeted by many aristocrats, because yesterday’s speech made him a celebrity at the academy.
There was not a single nobleman who did not know ‘Sir Fix’.
“Sir Fix. Sir’s speech yesterday really impressed me. I am Ishike, the eldest son of the Brande family.”
“It’s embarrassing to be Sir Pix. Please call me Ed.”
But Ed was adept at conversing with them despite all the attention.
Indeed, ‘El Pandor Rune Terra’ is a relationship-oriented simulation game.
Since he had already repeatedly learned to converse with numerous characters, eliciting the character’s favor was familiar to Ed.
“uh?”
at that time.
Someone spit out a startled chuimsae and pointed at a point.
As I followed my fingertips, I saw someone approaching this place, cutting through the crowd like the Red Sea.
They were the four children of the Duke.
“there. look aside Don’t stop there either. yes. I mean you.”
And the one leading the way was Isabella, the second daughter of the Graham family.
As soon as most of the nobles recognized her, they hurriedly fled and moved away.
Because I had heard of her notoriety earlier.
I couldn’t be blinded by her curse spell.
“hahahaha. I’m sorry, friends.”
However, Lucas of the Elmar family, who had taken the oath as the representative of the new students, was on the way to asking for forgiveness.
As much as Ed took all the attention, he seemed to be paying more attention to managing his reputation.
“Sigh. I’m too focused. I’m going alone, so why did everyone follow me…”
And Enya, who was at the center of them, was uncomfortable with the attention of the people around her.
It was because he wanted to give Ed the gift he had prepared when he was alone with Ed.
“Well? Follow? Who wants to go with you?”
But then, hearing Enya’s words, Isabella looked back and said so.
Then he raised the corner of his mouth and continued with a provocative expression.
“I’m just going to see that commoner? I have some personal business to do.”
“…personal affairs?”
“yes. I have something to give you. Well, it’s cute, so I’m interested in it?”
Are you interested in Ed…?
Enya’s face, which had been clearly nervous the whole time, hardened coldly.
Pajijik- The two women’s gazes collided into the air.
Then Enya spoke.
“What is interest? It’s very uncomfortable.”
“Poop. Interest is just interest.”
“I am saying it because you are. If you do strange things to Ed, I won’t let you go.”
“Wow-. Are you embarrassed? what did i do I just want to give you a present.”
“…”
Enya looked at Isabella with deep sunken eyes.
I took a hard look at my old friend, who had become grotesque at some point.
What was this kid thinking about approaching Ed?
Eventually, Isabella smiled and looked away.
“Anyway, am I going? I’ll give you your gift later.”
With that said, Isabella takes the lead.
In response, Enya strode forward.
He stood next to Isabella and glared at her.
“no. I’ll give you first. I think it will be difficult to meet separately anyway.”
Ed became a celebrity with yesterday’s one-day speech.
Even now, as soon as he appeared like this, he was surrounded by crowds.
It would be difficult to meet him alone.
So Enya took the lead, thanks to Isabella’s provocation.
Isabella looked at Enya’s back as she took the lead and giggled.
“Keuk. To be simple.”
And then he followed right after her.
After breaking through the crowds, I was finally able to arrive in front of Ed.
“…”
Surrounded by such a large crowd, the four sons of the Duke and Ed faced each other.
The crowd around them were voicing their thoughts about the situation.
It is said that the son of the duke came first, so Ed’s career path was opened.
It may not have come as a good thing.
In particular, there is nothing good about getting attention from witches, etc.
He was pouring out all kinds of stimulating thoughts and consuming them as gossip.
But all the rumors didn’t reach Enya’s ears.
It was because when I faced Ed right in front of me, my heart raced and my head became complicated.
Would it be okay if I came to you so blindly?
I got too many eyes, but what if Ed refuses my gift?
I think I’d be too embarrassed to do that.
Maybe he was angry because he misunderstood Ed’s family as the Schneider family yesterday.
“what are you doing!”
at that time.
‘Claire’ of the Grand Duchess Bernhard slapped Enya on the back.
Then he whispered, ‘You can just give it to me.’
Then Enya, who was pushed two steps forward by Claire’s backbone, swallowed a gulp and nodded.
“Puhahahaha! dog is laughing It’s like a bitch.”
And Isabella, who was watching all of this from behind, mocked Enya for her unusual appearance.
However, Enya, who was rather irritated by Isabella’s sarcasm, walked in front of me with courage.
He stood in front of Ed with a determined face, and finally conveyed the matter.
“Me, over there.”
“…?”
“That, later… Would you like to see me separately?”
“…”
“I have something to give you. Yesterday I fixed my scabbard… I misunderstood Ed’s family and caused strange rumors to circulate… So, as a return…”
Originally, Enya was going to give her a gift right here.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t here.
That’s why I suggested that the two of us meet separately.
In fact, even making this offer was very embarrassing.
I feel like my heart is about to explode.
Fortunately, Ed readily nodded.
“Yes. Then, after the class match is over, I’ll come and visit you.”
Ed’s answer is that he will find himself.
Confirming this, Enya nodded and turned around.
With a red face as if it were going to explode, Dodo-do escaped from the crowd.
Claire looked at Enya happily and followed her, and Lucas, who was shaking hands with the nobles around him, followed them.
However, Isabella, left alone, rather approached Ed.
Everyone looked at him with a nervous expression.
Before long, Isabella, who was right in front of Ed’s nose, looked at him with eyes that seemed to eat him.
Even the spectators who were watching were suffocating.
“Wow-.”
However, with Isabella’s exclamation, the tense atmosphere was released.
The heavy sunken air was ventilated.
Then, she smiled and spoke next.
“You don’t seem to be afraid of me?”
Observing Ed’s unwavering face, Isabella’s eyes shone sharply.
She took Ed’s right hand and continued.
“So I like it more.”
She said and took something out of her pocket.
And put it in Ed’s right hand.
She said, twitching the corners of her lips coquettishly.
“You will take special care. Even if you meet me as an enemy, I won’t be broken as long as I have this.”
Ed looked at the grotesque doll placed in the palm of his hand.
It was a girl doll with scattered hair and tears of blood.
“Keuk. Good job then.”
Isabella turned her back with those words.
Then, the rest of the Grand Duke’s descendants followed.
However, her movements were somewhat bizarre.
It floats through the air without your feet touching the ground, passing through the crowd like a ghost.
Of course, the reason she moved this way was to quickly catch up with the group.
It was a bonus that a little playfulness was activated.
However, the nobles, who were well aware of her notoriety, hurriedly opened the way in surprise.
I distanced myself from her so as not to get entangled with her even a little.
As Isabella moved out of sight, one of the nobles who had spoken to Ed spoke urgently.
“That, that! You’d better throw it away right away! You might be cursed by a witch!”
“A witch?”
“Yes! Haven’t you heard the rumor about the witch Isabella?”
Witch Isabella.
Of course, Ed was familiar with Isabella’s old nickname.
A nickname earned by punishing an opponent in the most gruesome way.
All the men who were cheated on by her had suffered severely from her curse.
Among them was a nobleman who passed out after banging his forehead on the marble floor laughing maniacally.
He said he suffered from mental illness after repeating that for 3 days.
Her appearance was so horrifying and grotesque that the nickname of the witch spread openly.
“I know, but it’s okay.”
However, despite knowing this, Ed put the doll inside his pocket.
While everyone was looking at him incomprehensibly, Ed opened his mouth.
“Because I can’t just throw away something I received as a gift.”
“········.”
The nobles sighed at Ed’s remarks.
Gossip about this began to be heard from all over the place.
Sir Pix is a very nice person.
It is clear that he has already been possessed by a witch.
No, it’s just naive.
And so on, each added a word to scold Ed for accepting Isabella’s doll.
‘Has Isabella’s part already started?’
But Ed didn’t care what they said.
The important thing is that Isabella showed interest in her at an early age.
Receiving this doll as a gift from her signaled the beginning of the event.
Ed clutched the doll in his pocket and muttered something meaningful to himself.
‘Isabella. I’ll definitely save you this time.’
