If I do it, it’s romance (1)
“Where have you been?”
“Looking at nothing. I guess I was wrong.”
Leonard answered briefly and headed for the men’s quarters. It was a colder reaction than usual.
“what····”
Narsha looked at Leonard’s face with a sidelong glance. White jade-like skin and beautiful features. There were no dark circles around the eyes, and the pupils were as clear as the blue sky.
You don’t look too tired, so why are you doing that?
“… unlucky.”
Narsha quickly took her eyes off her.
Almost at the same time, the door to the women’s dormitory opened.
Jeniel woke up late and hurriedly walked out with swollen eyes. He opened his mouth slightly and yawned.
“Haam-”
The second winner of Rock Paper Scissors, Narsha, chose Jeniel as her partner. Rather than staying up all night with strangers, it would be better for me to be with Jeniel, whom I am at least a little familiar with.
By the way, when I was dating Leonard, I had dinner with the couple Jeniel and Karios a few times.
Well… even so, there are all kinds of awkward things.
“·······”
After Leonard and Pierre entered the inn, the conversation was completely cut off. The neighborhood was as quiet as a rat dead. A desolate peace lingered in the rocky desert, and a calm night wind blew through her hair.
wheee
I’d rather have a magic beast appear.
Narsha glanced at Jeniel. Leaning on the railing next to her, Jeniel was looking at the distant sky. There was a bright starlight in her big eyes.
“Wow······”
Narsha was stunned without even realizing it. Even for a woman like her, she had a beautiful appearance. It was a face you couldn’t help but notice. After staring blankly for a long time, Jeniel said while maintaining his gaze.
“Are the conference preparations going well?”
“Uh, huh?”
Narsha shook her head urgently. Then he answered as calmly as possible.
“yes. depending on.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“·······”
Conversation cut off after that. I was sorry for some reason. If I had become a partner with someone else, I would have passed the time talking about this and that, but I singled it out for no reason.
After thinking about it for a while, Narsha made a big decision. He pursed his lips and spat out the words with difficulty.
“You, you? How is it?”
“Eh?”
Jeniel looked at Narsha in surprise. Perhaps because of his image in the Magic Tower, he seemed a bit surprised. Then he smiled brightly and accepted the conversation.
“Hehe, I didn’t even apply. It’s so hard to be selected, and I’m not as exceptional in practical skills as you are, so I’m sure I’ll fail anyway.”
“Oh, no…”
Narsha’s cheeks turned red at Jeniel’s praise. To touch the most vulnerable part? It felt good, but at the same time it was embarrassing.
Narsha shut her mouth. I blinked my eyes back and forth, thinking about what to say and how to respond.
It was then. Jeniel looked up at the sky again and asked.
“How are you and Leonard these days?”
“uh······?”
Narsha blinked blankly. I couldn’t understand the intent of the question.
How are you today because you are that child?
Of course, I still hate and hate…
It was definitely such a feeling.
When Narsha couldn’t answer easily, Jeniel added.
“take care? You two talk a lot these days.”
“That, it’s just… I can’t help but say it.”
“Don’t you take me home every day?”
“Is not it.”
“Then we must have become very close.”
“Oh, no. It’s a tailing service, so it’s not really…”
Narsha waved her hand and denied it. And I thought at the same time.
Why is Jeniel curious about this?
Of course, he had been best friends with Leonard since they were little, and his love story—his relationship with his ex-girlfriend—was a subject that could spark interest.
But it wasn’t just curiosity. At least Narsha felt that way. Jeniel wanted a more serious answer.
It feels like being in the 2nd person, not the 3rd person.
Maybe it’s mixed with jealousy?
“But why?”
Narsha raised her senses and asked.
I tried to dig into the other person’s heart, but that self-confidence melted away with a single smile from Jeniel. Jeniel laughed innocently at Narsha.
“No, it just seems like the two of them are getting along well lately. I heard that you also took care of it yourself.”
Then, pure white energy rushed in and completely covered Narsha’s doubts. Suddenly, the direction of doubt turned to himself.
Well, maybe I was mistaken.
He’s even engaged to a girl, so could he have feelings for Leonard?
Narsha laughed softly.
“It was done deliberately. I hate to see people die.”
“Well done. People have to live and see. Did you use healing magic?”
“yes? Oh, that’s a researcher’s thesis about a musical box…”
After that, the conversation went smoothly. Narsha talked about this and that without even realizing it.
She was completely wary of Jeniel’s “Beauty World”.
＊＊＊
the next morning.
We were ordered to support the North as in the original story. Since a black magician was found in the north of the continent, the teams in the east and west were randomly selected, and 6 teams, including the 3 teams I belonged to, were selected.
A situation where you have to move to the northern part of the continent right away. But there was no suitable means of transportation.
This is because the drivers in charge, including Ergon, return on the day the mission ends. However, it would take quite a while to bring it up now.
Inevitably, we boarded a large van driven by construction experts.
Bung-Bung-Bung-Bung
It’s a cute looking old van. It was the so-called shit car.
There were plenty of seats for a total of 12 people, but the team members were clearly uncomfortable. It’s because Jeniel and I come from aristocrats. Pierre turned his head to the back seat.
“Is your seat okay, Professor Leonard? Researcher Jeniel? They shouldn’t be treated like this… I’m really sorry.”
The other team members also watched closely. It was a heavy atmosphere as if he had committed a high treason. Since it is a society with strict caste system, it was inevitable to be sensitive to this part.
However, Jeniel smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up.
“I am completely fine. The seats are spacious, the seats are quite soft, and I think I can get rid of it again.”
A heart that is as kind as the outside.
I smiled at him too.
“I am fine too. The ride quality isn’t bad either.”
It was a lie, of course.
The ride was comparable to that of a large truck, and the shaking was so severe that the ground could be felt. It was the first time I’d missed my sedan.
But what… I’ll give you a ride, but I’ll go without saying anything.
Bung bung bung bung
A van that advances dangerously.
Suddenly, the scenery outside the window changed from a desolate land to a verdant meadow. It was adjacent to Mount Hernis in the northern part of the continent.
How far did you travel like that?
After a while, the van stopped on a green field. The construction specialist behind the wheel said.
“Im here. This is where we can go.”
The height of Mount Hernis is 4,000m above sea level.
As it is 1.5 times the height of Mt. Baekdu, it was impossible to complete it by car. In short, I had to walk from here. When the van door opened, the team members got out of their seats one by one. I got out last
“under······”
I took a deep breath and looked around.
The green life was sprouting in the hot spring area, the rolling mountains were truly magnificent, and the infinitely tall mountain peaks rose above the clouds in the distance.
Narsha muttered to herself.
“Ah… that’s filthy high.”
As she said, it was filthy high. But where we had to go was not normal. It was the headquarters over the ridge.
If it was east, there would not have been a need to cross the ridge, but since it was west, we had to start climbing.
While everyone was just watching, I personally took the lead.
“Shall we go soon?”
······
chirp- chirp- chirp-
Peaceful birdsong in the mountains.
Sunlight fell through the thick leaves, and the petals in full bloom swayed in the cool breeze.
1 hour after climbing the mountain.
We reached the middle of the mountain before we knew it. The team climbed the mountain laughing hahahoho. It was a harmonious atmosphere, as if a mountaineering club had come.
“The scenery is pretty nice.”
“I think it will be perfect if you come in the fall.”
“Iknow, right. The road isn’t too steep, and of course there’s a cliff behind it…”
Attack mage Adelin glanced behind her. There was a steep cliff about 10m away from the trail.
It is a unique fantasy scenery that cannot be seen in Korean mountains.
Adelin looked at the cliff for a while and joined the chatter again.
“Still, it is very pretty. It’s completely different from Tyronica.”
“As expected, it seems like you did well to come.”
The team members chatted and moved on. But I wasn’t. Climbing the mountain cautiously, wary of the surroundings with a stiff face. This is because there is a handshake of infidelity.
「“I was attacked by the demon while Team 3 was providing support. Fortunately, there are no fatalities… Team 3’s Leonardo-sama and Jeniel-sama were in distress.”
Due to the monster’s attack, only the two of them, Jeniel and Leonard, are in distress. Probably falling off the cliff you see over there.
The best way was to go to another hiking trail, but unfortunately, there was only one way to go over the mid-slope.
So there was no choice but to prepare for the attack.
The problem is that we don’t know when or how the raid will be conducted.
It was written from the point of view of the main character, Karios, that “Jeniel and Leonard were attacked”, so I, the author, did not know the detailed information.
So you just have to be careful.
“·······”
I narrowly opened my eyes and looked around. 「Aesthetic sense」 did not miss a falling leaf or a rolling gravel. It responded sensitively to even the slightest movement in the forest.
Four trilogy- Four trilogy-
how long has it been like that
Something creeped past deep in the forest.
Judging by the wooden club and the horns on its head, it looked like an ogre. An ominous demon that feels twenty-twenty.
It was the beginning of the foreseeable raid.
I stopped.
When I stopped in the first line, the team members following me hit each other’s back one after another.
“Ah!”
“Ouch!”
“Eek!”
moans in succession.
Defense Wizard Pierre asked while rubbing his forehead.
“Ah… why is that, Professor Leonard?”
I looked into the forest and answered quietly.
“It is a surprise.”
“A surprise attack…?”
It was then. Ten trolls wielding hatchets emerged from three overgrown trees.
Kiheek ——–!!
A truly fleeting attack.
It was a trap waiting for us even before we reached it, which we couldn’t detect with our “aesthetic sense.” However, with “quick reflexes”, I was able to respond in time.
I immediately spread a magic field in the air. The trolls with ferocious smiles were blocked by the magic field and fell to the ground. Attack mages, including Adelin, killed them in one blow.
“Is it over?”
“no. there.”
I raised my index finger and pointed forward.
A huge ogre was running through the dense forest. It wasn’t one. There were at least 10 of them that showed up everywhere. In addition, wild dog-type demons and monkey demons appeared.
It’s a tough number to kill with 3 attack mages.
We naturally formed a rank with our backs to the cliff.
Perhaps he was going to stumble here and be in distress (?).
Geeing-
Attack wizards cast magic on both hands. I also went into a defensive posture. Before long, he clashed with the demons. Fireball and other offensive magic were “thrown” into the forest and exploded, and the monsters rushed through the acrid smoke.
Queee
An attack that pushes with mass.
My teammates were not harmed by my defense magic, but I couldn’t help myself being pushed back little by little. This was an issue with the attack mage’s capabilities.
A battle that gradually turned into close combat.
Whoops! Whoops! Kwaguaga River!!
The attack mages focused on ogres, and after killing all the ogres, they dealt with the beasts.
I looked at Jeniel while casting defense magic. Jeniel was already at the edge of the cliff.
If you miss even one step, you are in danger of falling down.
just as expected.
Replying to @Mr.
The wild dog-type witch beast lowered his stance and charged at Jeniel. Startled, Jeniel lost her balance. My body leaned down the cliff.
an imminent situation.
“Uh-uh-!”
I headed straight for Jeniel.
The “Agile Reflexes” purchased for this moment.
He quickly stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Jeniel’s waist. As soon as I lifted her up, I manifested [Iberium] with my other hand and deflected the wild dog-type demon beast.
Break it!
The guy fell down the cliff. On the other hand, Jeniel escaped falling in my arms. Even after that, while protecting Zeniel in his arms, he manifested defense magic, and eventually succeeded in defeating all the monsters.
The team members breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whew… it was hard.”
“I almost died. Suddenly, some magic beasts.”
“So. If it wasn’t for Professor Leonard, I would have been in real trouble.”
Only then did I let go of Jeniel. Jeniel, whose cheeks were flushed, looked up shyly.
“Go, thank you…”
“Be careful.”
Saying that, I looked around.
I checked the corpses of the witches just in case, but all of them were dead. To be precise, I didn’t feel the magic.
The thing that prevented the handshake of adultery called “distress by raid”.
No matter how well the novel is designed to flow according to the original, my will is unstoppable.
The writer said he would fix it, but who would stop it?
It was a time when I was relieved to think so.
Right-handed-!
Suddenly, a tree fell in the distance. The eyes of the team members all headed there. One more soon after.
Right-handed-!
in a dense forest.
Something was running towards it at breakneck speed, destroying nearby trees. The ground shook at the heavy kick.
thud-! thud-! thud-!
A gigantic body comparable to that of an elephant. Skin like iron armor and long ivory like a spear.
It was the wild boar-type witch beast Calydon who charged right in front of me before I knew it.
Queee
Calydon headed straight for me and Jeniel. It was a tremendous speed that was not commensurate with its size. I immediately manifested the “Barrier” and collided with Calydon.
————!!!
“Barrier” and the super-giant wild boar
Despite the difference in body size by about five times, Leonard’s magical abilities completely ignored the laws of physics. The one that bounced off was Calydon. Its massive body floated into the air and landed shaking the ground.
thud-!
The problem is that only the laws of physics are ignored, and other laws are fully applied. The shock from the huge collision permeated the ground intact.
Damn- damn-!
The ground started to crack. The crack that spread like lightning came out exquisitely and only spread to where Jeniel was standing.
Is this also the aftermath of the “Sword Arrow” and “Crimson Flame”?
Anyway, this is the edge of the cliff…
“ah······”
The moment I spit out a short moan.
Kugeuggeuggheu ——–!!
The ground collapsed.
Me and Jeniel fell down a cliff .
