206 – 206 – A Nail Named You #7
206 – A nail named you #7
“It’s been quite a while since we met like this, hasn’t it? Isn’t it the first time since vacation?”
handsome man.
It means a handsome man.
And, in my opinion, handsome men were those who had an easier life than others.
An example of that is right in front of my eyes.
Platinum hair that seems to indicate that he was noble from his birth, and his neatly shaved appearance.
From long, slender limbs to skin without a single blemish.
“Orca.”
“Victor.”

Just the slight smile of the guy in front of me was enough to spark a humane feeling in my heart.
Perhaps because of the location of the church, he seemed like a young priest who had just been appointed.

Just being there makes you feel good.
Poo deuk podeuk.
Even if you don’t want to know that the eyes of the nuns pretending to wipe the church windows with a dry towel are glancing at Orca’s face, you notice it.
“Is that person Prince Orca? The first time I saw it, it was cool.”
“Like a prince.”
“No, isn’t it more like a young saint than a prince?”
look.
Because it is like this.
Of course, this guy is far from being a priest.
Although it has a nice appearance.
If you look inside, it will wind like a strange maze more than anyone I know.
I said.
“Orca, I never thought you would join hands with the Church. To think he would even inform Cain, the head of the household, himself.”
“I did not know that you, Victor, would try to negotiate with the Church for the acquittal of Victoria or Flora. But isn’t the original world unpredictable?”
“What is mine?”
“What my.”
“You must have a reason for doing this.”
At my question, Orca Arclight looked around.
Then she smiled lightly at the nuns who were washing statues or washing windows nearby.
“Sisters, could you please leave for a moment?”
Although I had to spend 5 million René to infiltrate the female dormitory.
Orca wouldn’t have to do that.
With just a light smile, anyone will do this guy’s favor.
It is truly an EASY mode of life.
Finally, when only me and the two orcas were left in the chapel.
Orca touched the loose lips.

Just that alone changes the mood of a person.
“Victor, as you know, Arclight will soon collapse. It will be smashed to pieces. Because I will make it.”
“… … .”
“You leave your family to survive. Isn’t that a common story? I think that’s why you broke up with Victoria. I’m just doing the same thing.”
Yes, you can.
However, the orcas I knew were not small people who barely acted to save their own lives.
“Victor, in a way you were wiser than any of us. Family head, it won’t be easy for even my father, Cain, to escape from this incident.”
“What is going on?”
“not a big deal. It’s a repeat of history that always happened. Victor, do you know the curse of the Arklight family?”
“There is no such thing.”
The Arkwright family was exceptionally blessed even among the Three Dukes, who are said to be descendants of the old king Gilgamesh.
Absolute perfection, nothing lacking.
Although there is always something in the heart that can be called the innate arrogance that comes from it.
Is it okay to call it arrogance when a perfect person feels perfect and looks down on other guys?

Just as no one would say that a person looking down at an ant is arrogant.
It was kind of natural.
That such a clan was cursed.
It’s the first time I’ve even heard of it.
Orca said about it.
“As you know, those who are born with platinum blood have everything from birth. But strictly speaking, not everything.”
“What if not everything?”
“The one thing we really want. It alone is bound by a fate that can never have it. Even the original Arclight Icarus, who did not have a throne. Even my father who chased only the shadow of the woman he never had. me too. Even my sisters.”
“… … .”
“The longing burns like the sun in our blood. We reach for the light, but we can never have what we long for, just as a bird cannot reach the sun. never. Rather, it just goes down.”
Squeak.
Orca looked at her open palm and asked.
“Victor, despair that there is something you cannot get even if you throw away everything you have and everything you will have. You probably know what it is, right?”
I think I know what this guy is trying to say.
Orca has a strong inferiority complex towards her father.
Cain was trying to make Viktor his son-in-law and make him his successor rather than Orca, who had no talent for arclight-style swordsmanship.
“No matter what you do, you won’t be recognized by your father. Is that your despair?”
Orca Arclight.
Although this guy appears in the dark in many routes.
In fact, this guy wasn’t the type of villain who would say, “Actually, I did it because I did it.”
People can only speculate on the behavior of this guy by looking at the contents.
And I can see I invested the most time.
I wondered if this guy’s behavioral principle was an inferiority complex and hatred for his father.
“Father.”
But Orca picked it up and laughed.
It’s different from the nice smiles of people up until now.
Laughter as if the wind was escaping.
No, it might be better to describe it as laughter, but I thought this was the only truth this guy was showing.
“Father’s approval. Did you see that too?”
“… … .”
“It has to be. Because I thoroughly portrayed myself with an inferiority complex.”
“Is it all acting?”
“Do you think I would want my father’s approval or something? For the Arkwright family, full of arrogance and self-righteousness?”
It was an amazing story.
Didn’t Orca want to inherit the family?
“To be honest, after that day, I didn’t mind taking over my father or the family. Yes, we couldn’t even call ourselves a family from then on.”
that day?
It was when I was interested in a new keyword.
“Okay, stop talking like this. Shall we tell you a little funny story? Viktor, have you done anything with the guys from Pimblebert?”
“… … .”
“I can’t get in touch with some of my old friends. Like a coward, I don’t think about it now. As you know, I joined hands with Pimblebert.”
“For what?”
“Yes, to destroy this terrible world. There is nothing but sadness in this world, Victor. People die like dogs, they are separated and lost. To call such a place Ludens or Yu-hee? Isn’t it funny?”
He laughed as if he had just heard a really funny story.
Then he said with a straight face as if he had struck a knife.
“As expected, it would be better to correct what I said earlier. I’m not allied with Pimblebert.”
wow
rattle-.
The summer wind coming in through the open window swayed the orca’s white hair.
“I-”
White hair shines as if snow has fallen.
“—I am the winter of the world.”
“… … .”
I think I know one thing for sure here.
At first glance, Leroy, the head of Pimblebert, and Princess Orca had a collaborative relationship of equals.
As expected, the head of Pimblebert is Orca, not Leroy.
The world moves in the direction this guy plans and designs.
And the world this guy is looking at must be a world of cold winter.
* * *
“The situation is worse than expected.”
After getting out of the chapel, I thought about it alone in my room.
It’s a vacation that I was trying to live lightly, but why are these things bursting out?
“Victor, I wonder if this ariol can eat this deli manju… !”
“Eat.”
Ariol, who came to the club room after a long time, eats snacks.
“I don’t know about Arnoi, but leave a share for Puipu or Poipoi.”
“I know… ! And I wonder if it’s okay to drink this peach-scented drink… !”
It’s not a drink, it’s a vitality potion.
It would be okay if I let her drink at least one.
“yes.”
Ariol drinking the vitality potion.
The guy looked around his head left and right for a long time, and his honey-colored eyes sparkled as if he had found something else.
“I wonder if I can eat this cotton candy… !”
He’s going to eat anyway, so he asks everything.
Suddenly, curiosity arose.
“No, don’t eat.”
“… that I knew… .”
It was a drooping ariole.
It is very pitiful for Pom to droop as if he has lost the world.
“It is a joke. You can eat it.”
“I know… !”
The boy licked the cotton candy.
What makes him feel so good with only one cotton candy?
By the way, looking at this strange nymph made me feel a little better.
After all, there is no use in worrying about the problem.
To me, time is literally gold.
The worry is short and the decision and action are quicker the better.
“Nike.”
The place I headed was in front of the women’s dormitory.
Nike, who came out to the front door, saw me and wiggled her hair in ponytails.
“Victor, didn’t you say that club activities are taking a break today?”
“It is, but. It’s an emergency. This time, Nike might trip over you at Seonghwangcheong.”
“me? me!? why me?”
Nike looked very flustered.
that would be embarrassing
“Is it because I don’t go to church diligently… !? Or, because I only ate the bread provided by the church in the first grade and didn’t give an offering… !?”
“I don’t know why either. The interrogation might be held in a while. I think we can prevent disasters by preparing in advance.”
“If you are prepared… how? is there a way? Seonghwangcheong people are scary… .”
Nike shuddered.
I said to Nike.
“If we work together, maybe we can do anything. Before that, there is someone I need to convince. Nike, it might be a bit of a difficult experience for you.”
“Ugh… , I don’t know why it’s so busy since it’s vacation! I don’t know! Say anything! I am Nike Mokey Mokey of Rash Guard Forest… ! I won’t hide… !”
The trembling form with clenched fists is somewhat uneasy yet reliable.
Compared to the time when I was trembling like a frightened raccoon at the beginning of the semester, I think I’ve grown up.
of course.
Nike’s confidence also faded after a while.
“My, can I convince the Black Star Duke well?”
After Nike heard of my plan, he was very scared.
It’s like putting your hand in a tiger’s mouth to avoid a lion, so it’s only scary.
But I thought this method was the best.
“To prevent whales from fighting, another whale must be inserted.”
No matter how prosperous, it would be difficult to deal with two ducal families at once.
So, if you let Balak get involved in this matter, you can create a ‘little gap’.
Shrimps like us can escape even with that small gap.
“Yeah, but I don’t think you’ll listen to me… .”
Nike seemed a bit insecure.
Of course, I had my own confidence.
In fact, there were many cards that I could trade with Balak.
It’s just something I’m keeping because I want to use it as a last resort.
“Nike, the Dukes are interested in you. Balak will listen carefully to what you say.”
“I don’t think it would be bad to just ask Enio… . Enio, he quietly listens to what you say, Viktor.”
Of course I’ve thought about that too.
But when I asked Enio, the answer that came back was this.
“Are you going to convince my father? no.”
look.
