309 – Regaining daily life (2)
Hwivien, head of the Ministry of Magic.
Her face now was more serious and serious than ever.
“This? Or this? Hmm… “
If I were to record her appearance now and show it to other cadets or professors, they would be greatly shocked and curious at the same time.
If you look at just the theoretical knowledge related to magic, it is at a level where there is nothing more to learn at the academy.
What a problem that puts Hwivien in such deep agony.
What on earth is the problem!?
“No… no! “This isn’t it!”
Hwivien was standing in front of a full-length mirror.
Every time my hands move busily, a different image from before is reflected in the mirror.
Hwivien was comparing the various appearances.
A problem that keeps Hwivien awake in the morning.
It was none other than ‘What should I do with my style today?’
For nobles, fashion was more than just self-expression, it was one of the ways to reveal the prestige of the family.
As the daughter of a great noble family, it was natural for Hwivienne to put a lot of effort into her attire despite her stature.
“Ugh… What’s this.”
However.
Even taking all that into account, Hwivien’s current appearance was quite different from usual.
-Hmm. Today is perfect too.
If it were a normal Whivien, the moment I stood in front of the mirror, I would have given myself a passing grade without hesitation.
With absolute confidence in oneself.
Therefore, the reason why Hwivien is now more confused than usual was determined.
“Is this earring this bad? ?”
Her absolute confidence was in crisis.
“Ah! Annoying, annoying, annoying!!! “Why am I because of that man!!!”
Without fail, it was because of that man, Ceylon.
***
The atmosphere of the academy that Hwivienne last saw was gray in color.
Due to the invasion of Harasin and the Black Root Church that broke out across the continent, there was no place in the academy that was not stained with shadows on the faces of all cadets.
But when she came back, the shadow had disappeared without a trace.
Like the clear sky without a single cloud ahead of fall, the cadets’ expressions were also spotless.
In addition, you can have the luxury of closing your eyes and enjoying the occasional breeze and smiling refreshingly.
Peace.
It was closer to them, more vivid and brilliant than before.
I took it for granted, but the peace that was lost – and that I managed to regain – was so special.
First day.
Hwivien was unable to adapt to the atmosphere as if he was floating.
Two days.
Hwivien wandered around them like a traveler visiting from a foreign land.
And on the third day.
Whivienne walked around the campus of her academy with a lot of strength in her shoulders and neck.
-Why did he say he was excited? Even though you haven’t done anything?
In the past, Hwivien did not understand the female protagonists of romantic novels who were flattered by the achievements of the male protagonist.
However, when she encountered the same situation, her thoughts changed.
This is Ceylon.
The person who brought peace back to them was none other than that man.
The person they praise as a hero is the man who confessed to me!
-hehehe.
I was proud.
To the point where I can’t control it!
Hwivien’s steps from the dormitory to the academy every day were extremely cheerful.
Class?
Magic?
What is that?
In recent years, Whivien’s only interest has been the voices of those praising Ceylon.
-I still can’t believe it. When I heard the rumor that the Great Family’s forces had retreated, I thought everything was really over…
-I’m still curious. What kind of magic did Ceylon perform?
-hehehe.
-If it weren’t for Ceylon, what would have happened to us by now?
-War would have been called long ago and we would have either rolled around like dogs or been hunted like dogs.
-I took the entrance exam with him. I still can’t believe it.
-What? Is it real?
-I told you back then. He said he took the second exam with me.
-Huh? Ah. Uh? For a moment. At that time, didn’t you say that you were upset and annoyed because some commoner was involved?
-What are you talking about?
-hehehehe.
Wherever the Academy went, it was the story of Ceylon.
Even professors!
-hehehe.
Thanks to that, the innocent smile that spread across Hwivien’s mouth seemed like it would stay there forever.
-Hey, look over there.
-Oh! That person-
-Hey… Mr. Whivien… Aren’t you really jealous?
-Are you jealous?
-Hwivien, you are close with him. Let’s listen. I heard that they seemed to get along well from the time they first entered school.
-Him? Could it be Ceylon?
-What, didn’t you know?
-No, I… So what. How close are you?
-It is said that Whivien may have known from the beginning that Silon is the true Harasin.
-What? How?
-That’s what Ceylon said. Because I believe it.
-Wow… Because he’s Leolian?
-Well, maybe so?
– This is indeed a great family…
-Huh…?
But since when?
-Hwivien, you can meet Ceylon personally, right?
-Huh… Heh…?
Hwivien’s expression, which had been so sloppy as ever, began to become complicated.
-Ah… Mr. Ceylon… Isn’t it so cool?
-So. That you did all that without anyone knowing… That’s so noble.
Even when I heard stories praising Ceylon, I couldn’t help but laugh.
-I envy Hwivienne… I can’t believe I’m so close to someone like that…
Complex and subtle emotions sprouted deep in Hwivien’s heart.
It was a sense of crisis.
Until before, Whivien was one of the few people in Ceylon who was treated without discrimination even though he was a commoner. He was one of the few people who understood his special position as an assassin, a warlock, and a true member of Hara Shin.
In addition, she has the distinction of being the daughter of a great family born with the most noble bloodline in the world, and the head of the Ministry of Magic who is admired by many!
Hwivien was a special entity to Ceylon.
It was too much.
It was not Hwivien’s personal opinion, but objectively.
In fact, the number of male cadets who felt hatred toward the world upon seeing Hwivien hanging out with Ceylon was enough to fill an academy classroom.
But now it is different.
People no longer care one bit about the fact that Ceylon is a common people.
From Noble mtl dot com
The fact that he is a warlock and the fact that he is an assassin.
The true Harasin has now become a glorious group of members of the Great Council.
People no longer envy Ceylon, who hangs out with Whivien.
I envy Hwivien, who matches well with Ceylon.
Not only women but also men.
Not only cadets, but even professors!
Daughter of a great family.
Chief of the Ministry of Magic.
One of the most beautiful women in the academy.
Each of them were titles that would never be overlooked, but they became infinitely smaller in the face of the title of hero who saved the world.
Hwivien reflected on his attitude towards Ceylon so far.
[I can’t believe a woman of my age is interested in me.]
[You should be a little more grateful!]
Wouldn’t it be enough to express that attitude in words?
He was arrogant and overbearing, but there were no problems.
Because Hwivien deserved it.
But not anymore.
[I can’t believe a man of that caliber is interested in me.]
[Miss Whivien should learn to be a little more grateful.]
Because Ceylon has become qualified to have such an attitude.
Hwivien, aware of that fact, was intimidated.
His confidence was shaken.
Will we no longer be able to treat Ceylon as before?
-No!
He didn’t like that.
It was difficult for Hwivien to imagine a different relationship between him and her than it was now, and he didn’t even want to imagine it.
More than anything, I was afraid that the man would be disappointed in how he had changed.
A woman who changes her attitude depending on her position or conditions.
She didn’t want to be seen as that kind of person by that man.
Therefore, Hwivien made a firm determination.
She said she would never be intimidated by Ceylon.
I will treat him like before.
***
This is how Hwivien sat in front of the mirror for longer than usual and put more effort into dressing up than usual.
“Ha…”
But.
Despite her firm resolve, there was no progress in Whivien’s decoration, and in the end, she sighed and lowered her head.
“I feel stupid…”
A sudden feeling of skepticism came over me.
“It’s not a problem that can be solved just by trying a little harder…”
When she no longer had even a sigh left to exhale, Hwivien lifted her head again and looked into her mirror.
‘Was I always this ugly…?’
Is it because he thinks Ceylon is attracted to his confident appearance?
Her lack of confidence reflected a particularly shabby image of herself.
“…”
If that man saw himself now, how would he react?
-Oh, Miss Whiruck. Why are you in Vienna so strangely?
Should we make fun of ourselves by making silly puns like usual?
-…
Or will he be disappointed and turn his head away without saying a word?
Maybe it’s the latter?
Look at those people.
Ms. Aedrin.
Unlike me, her personality is honest, cute, and lovely.
Did you?
That person really makes no sense.
How can a person be so pretty?
Even if I were a man, I couldn’t help but like that woman, right?
Kasha?
… No matter what, I’m better than her.
Anyway.
With people like that around, is there any reason to be obsessed with a woman like me?
Huh? Is not it?
Hwivien asked herself as she looked in the mirror.
He looked so shabby that he could not deny the advice.
“…Come to your senses!!!”
Slap!
At the moment when the accident progressed to that point, Hwivien vigorously stood up and slapped his cheek with both hands.
If things continued like this, he felt like he would fall into a swamp and never get out.
I had to do something.
I wanted to do something after meeting Ceylon.
But he didn’t have the courage to do that right now.
“Courage? Ah!”
A trick came to mind.
Whivien left the room at her brisk pace and headed somewhere.
And a while later.
“Ceylon!”
Hwivien was facing him while heavily drunk.
“Hey, you coward!!!”
“Oh my, Ms. Whivien. Why are you so drunk…!”
Ceylon sighed as he saw Hwivien in a state of insanity.
At that sight, Hwivien let out an awkward laugh.
In his lament, he felt sincere concern, not disappointment for himself.
Courage was added to the hangover.
Hwivien attacked Ceylon with even more fierce force.
“It was definitely like that back then! You said I was alone! Was that a lie!?”
“What about lies? I’m 100% pure and sincere! How much I’ve been stumbling around!”
“Really!? Then prove it!”
“Yes!? Proof!?”
Papapod!
The button exploded.
Hwivien pulled on her blouse with all her might.
“Come on!”
Surprisingly (?) Whivienne, revealing her appearance in ordinary underwear, closed her eyes and shouted.
“…!”
Ceylon fell into multiple chaos.
Why is this woman suddenly acting like this?
And she wonders if she should touch this guy now, or if she shouldn’t!
“You won’t come!? Even if you do this, you won’t come!? Hey, you won’t come!”
When Ceylon hesitated, Whivien snorted her breath.
“You coward! Yes! I understand!”
“Yes!?”
“I understand!”
“Well, what did you know…?”
“I can just go!”
It was a majestic gait, like a general going into a duel.
Hwivien approached Ceylon at a rapid pace.
“Uh oh-“
Ceylon tried to distance herself by backing away from her, but Whivien wouldn’t allow it.
Tap!
Whivien drove her Ceylon into her wall and struck her wall with all her might with the palm of her hand.
It was an act called ‘hitting the wall’ in romantic novels.
“Dew, it’s Duneby…!?”
Hwivien glared at Ceylon with swirl-shaped eyes.
Oh my.
What should I do with this person?
Ceylon fidgeted inside her for a moment.
“…”
Finally, she nodded her head resolutely.
It wasn’t polite for her to step away from here.
No matter how drunk she was.
Also, it was not polite to leave this situation entirely up to her.
“Yes, I’m ready.”
“Eh?”
Ceylon gently pulled the back of Hwivien’s head.
“…!”
The lips of the two people overlapped.
‘aaah!!!’
Hwivien, who slightly woke up from a hangover due to this tremendous stimulation, internally screamed with a mixture of joy and shyness.
“…!”
But before he could enjoy the joy, Ceylon hugged Hwivien even more tightly.
I can feel his lips, touch, embrace, warmth, and breath even more clearly.
Ceylon’s hand, which was hugging the back of Hwivien’s head, slowly goes down as if melting.
From the nape of the neck to the spine.
The intense yet delicate touch reminds me of her skin.
Hwivien realized something new.
Breathing while kissing was more tricky than I thought.
“Fuha!”
She ran away from Ceylon, as if running away, her breath coming in short gasps.
“Should we stop here?”
And the moment she shyly shook her head in response to Ceylon’s subsequent question, she was once again kidnapped by his touch and kissed her.
Hwivien was thinking just now.
Let’s take advantage of this momentum and go to the end!!!
I was confident.
Who are you?
It was Hwivienne who had read countless romantic (sensual) novels.
‘Should we stop here? Should we stop here!? It’s laughable. That leisure. Let’s see how far we can go.’
Hwivien planned to use his overwhelming theoretical knowledge to put Ceylon out of its senses.
But she soon realized.
The fact that there is a huge gap between practice and theory.
Hwivien realized something new.
Kiss, which is treated as lightly as a handshake in romantic (sensual) novels, is actually quite a provocative act.
“…!”
Finch!
Whivien’s body trembled as she hugged Ceylon with all her might.
“All right… Wait a minute…!”
It was a moment when the confidence of Teacher Whivien, who prided himself on being an expert, was denied.
