107 – I said – 2
***
I woke up after a good night’s sleep and looked out the window to see that the waves had subsided. There were no clouds and the day was clear, so the boat seemed to be able to float without any problems.
“Did you sleep well? Did you wake up early?! I was going to wake you up when I was done.”
When I went outside, Elizabeth was already up. Is it breakfast being served on her table?
Looking at the time, she wasn’t even six o’clock yet.
“You woke up early too.”
“Yes. I’m going to prepare breakfast… “
“Yeah. Anyway. Did you sleep well?”
“Yes!!”
“And that… Last night…”
“…Ahhh!!”
Her big smile, her face turned red in an instant. I nodded my head as I looked at her with a clear expression of bewilderment.
Yes. I’m ashamed to mention what happened yesterday, so I’m tearing up, but let’s not bother mentioning it now.
There will be an opportunity later.
“…Don’t drink too much.”
“Ahh…”
Elizabeth groaned for a while, but quickly regained her composure when I didn’t tell her about yesterday.
“Oh, oh-ho-ho-ho! Yes! That’s right! Anyway, come and eat. Do you want to eat and wash up?”
“Yes. But what about the boat?”
“I called a while ago. They said they would be back soon.”
“Really?”
That’s good. Elizabeth sat down in her apron and looked at me with the same bright smile she always had. Of course she still had the heat from before, though her face was red.
“Eat a lot! There’s more toast. Oh, do you put ketchup on fried eggs?”
“Huh? I just eat whatever they give me. Anyway, it looks delicious.”
Fried eggs on toast. And bacon and sausage. Stir-fried mushrooms and even strong coffee.
It is said that Koreans are full of food, but I don’t think this kind of breakfast is bad.
“I tried to dress up the English way! Isn’t it like having to eat in the morning?”
“I heard they eat what they give. I will eat well.”
“Enjoy your meal~.”
With a smile, Elizabeth suggested a meal. She put a fried egg on the crispy toast and took a bite. Well. It’s good.
The bread is savory and the fried egg is moderately salty, probably because it is buttered.
“What is this?”
“It’s called baked beans. It’s common in England.”
I tried scooping it out with a spoon, but the salty and sour taste makes me feel good in the morning. I chewed and swallowed the bacon along with it, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Elizabeth.
I was looking this way with a smile.
“Don’t you eat?”
“Ah! I have to eat! Hohoho!! It’s so nice to see Yohan eating deliciously!!”
“I made it delicious, but I have to eat it.”
“Oh ho ho ho!! It would be nice if I could make it for you at the academy too!”
“Uhh. I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart. You must be busy in the morning too.”
Unlike men, women say they have a lot to do in the morning. In particular, Elizabeth is always well-groomed and neat. It would take quite a while just to wash and tidy up that long hair, but asking for breakfast would be an outrageous thing to do.
“Breakfast can be eaten at the cadet cafeteria, or you can have it with sugar brine.”
“…Do you even eat that these days?”
Looking at me as if she was fed up, Elizabeth nobly cut the toast with a knife and took a bite, then shook her head.
“It hurts to eat like that. I want to take care of it. Really.”
“Because I’m taking care of the calories.”
“Calories alone are not enough!! You have to take good care of your nutrition!!”
“Yes yes. I understand.”
In this way, we finished our breakfast by continuing small talk. It was a pleasant meal in itself. The toast was also delicious.
“I’ll wash the dishes.”
“Ah! It’s okay if I just do it!”
“No. If you get eaten, shouldn’t you do something?”
“Ho-ho-ho! Then, shall we take a break?”
I got another cup of coffee and while Elizabeth sat at her table watching me, I immediately started washing the dishes. Her butt hurts.
“Why?”
“Just like that! It looks good!”
It’s a voice full of joy. Even the actual face is full of smiles.
I thought you would be having a hard time because of what happened yesterday…
As expected, did my support work?
“Then take a look.”
“Yes! I plan to see a lot!”
I could feel the gaze from behind, but it didn’t matter.
I just calmly continued washing the dishes.
“Should I wash up soon?”
“Huh? Yes. That’s how it should be.”
“Then go home. There is still time before the boat arrives. Today’s class starts at 11 o’clock… So you have time to spare.”
Elizabeth rose from her seat as she wiped off her last plate and put it in the cupboard. After seeing her head to the sofa and turn on the TV, I went into the room and took a shower.
After washing properly, I went downstairs to find Elizabeth watching TV with a serious expression.
“Why? What happened?”
“Um… Yes.”
– Currently, heroes are entering the black dungeon in Uijeongbu to challenge again! Will I be able to succeed this time?!
– No heroes have succeeded in conquering black-level dungeons that exist all over the world. What has been revealed so far…
Black Dungeon.
The camera was showing the dungeon with the highest level of difficulty among the dungeons currently existing all over the world.
There was tension and determination in the faces of the heroes entering the place, and hope and anxiety coexisted on the faces of those who supported them.
And at the forefront was a face I knew.
Breath Taylor.
With Jinho.
Two S-class heroes.
They were leading other heroes and trying to attack the black dungeon in Uijeongbu.
“Will it work this time…?”
Well. I don’t think so.
There are not enough pieces to clear the black dungeon.
In Hero Academia, the last piece was Yuchoa.
It won’t be possible, at least not until summer vacation is over and Yu Choa meets her own mentor and becomes a little stronger.
But not everything went the same way as Hero Academia… Maybe it could work.
“I hope you come back safely…”
“I guess so.”
Because no one died after trying the black dungeon and failing. Everyone escaped before that… So I won’t die. Of course you will get hurt.
– I’m just worried that the villains will rampage while the S-class and A-class heroes challenge the black dungeon. In particular, the movements of the villain organization called the Blade of Dawn have become frequent recently…
– Dililing!! Tiriling!!
It was then. Elizabeth’s terminal rang. After receiving it, she talked on the phone for a while and then looked at me with her head nodded.
“Now the ship is coming!”
“Okay? Shall we go now?”
I don’t have any luggage, so I can just go down. She went out with Elizabeth. The weather is pretty good.
“It’s a bit unfortunate…”
“Shall we come back later?”
“Oops?! Is that okay?!”
“It won’t work.”
“Then right now, even next week!”
“Ah. Next week will be like that. We have club activities too, right?”
“Ah… I did.”
The midterm exams are over, and the camp training is over. You have to go back to your normal academic schedule. As such, it won’t be easy to make time like this on the weekend.
What can I do? Life as a cadet is originally this tight.
I lightly patted Elizabeth’s back, who seemed a bit sullen.
Elizabeth’s expression brightened as if that alone had cheered her up.
“Still, yesterday was fun… So we can look forward to the next one, right?!”
“That’s for sure. I also had fun in my own way.”
“Thank God… Ho ho ho!! Then again next time!”
Yes. Yes. Let’s go again next time.
If you have a chance.
I returned to Wando by boat and returned to the academy through the gate. I stayed out all night unintentionally, but since I didn’t miss class, it wasn’t a problem.
“Then see you later!”
The academic schedule starts today.
I have to go to class later, so I’ll see you again.
“Okay. See you later.”
She broke up with her and went back to her dormitory to rest and pack her bag. The time is… Not too late.
As I walked leisurely into the classroom, I saw familiar faces.
“Did you rest well?”
“Okay. Did you rest well too?
I accepted Max’s greeting and sat down. Because today is only a theory class… I need to work hard on my skill training.
“Ohohohoho!!! Hello!! Everyone!!”
The door burst open and Elizabeth’s cry, full of her vigor, was heard. As much as she is her popular figure, her greetings towards her pour out. Elizabeth sat down after receiving all of them, and put the Bluetooth earphones in her pocket.
“What do you hear?”
“Hey, Joe, I was listening to something good!!”
“Really? Is it okay if I listen to it?”
What kind of music is it that you’re plugging it in like that? Curious, she tried asking, but Elizabeth only hesitated.
Ah. Do you have any taste in music? I respect you if you like, but I can’t force you if you’re shy.
“Okay. Okay. But I guess it’s good because it’s still plugged in?”
“Ho-ho-ho! That’s great!”
It was when she said with a smile. The classroom door opened and Jin Shi-yeon entered. Unlike the lively Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon’s expression was completely subdued.
“Why is he dead again?”
“Well…? What happened?”
I got up from my seat and approached Siyeon Jin. Jin Shi-yeon, who was sitting in her seat with her hands in her pockets, raised her head slightly as I approached.
“What’s wrong?”
“Do you see it?”
“Yes.”
“Whoa. I went to my parents’ house yesterday. And I had a sparring with my father.”
“Ah. That’s right. The tabletop must have been broken?”
“…Ugh. Just thinking about it is terrifying. The S-rank wall is amazing.”
I guess so. It would be impossible to beat Jin Ho-rang at the current level of Jin Si-yeon.
“I thought my skills had improved by catching the undead this time…”
Looking at your sullen appearance makes me sick to my stomach. Our team’s main dealer…
“Is everyone here? Have a seat.”
The door opened and Kim Yeon-ha entered. When I went back to my seat. Before she started her class, Yeon-ha Kim gave her an announcement that she always did.
“There is dungeon attack training this weekend.”
Dungeon attack training is something I always do. It won’t be strange. But to make an announcement is to say that there is something…
“This is also reflected in the final test. And there is no limit on the entry level… There is no limit. Choose the level of dungeon that you think your team can best attack and report it. Details have been sent to each individual message. Check it out.”
I immediately took out the terminal and checked the information.
Team members have to be grouped together by the members of each class… The location is… Overseas. Are you Japanese?
This is the main story.
This is where I came into conflict with the Blade of Dawn villains. I’ll have to tell Yuchoa to be careful later.
If it’s necessary, I’ll go there to help too.
