753 – 9. There is not a single day without this (2)
There is no bleach as powerful as time.
This is no exception for memories and impressions, so I forgot about it even though I hadn’t seen it for only a few months.
The nature of the character ‘Delphine Jurdina’.
If I had to compare it, yes. Should I say that she is a woman like a ‘midsummer storm’?
Even though we knew it would hit at some point, perfect preparation was impossible. It was nearly impossible to predict her spontaneous and honest desires.
At best, I could only sigh after seeing the past.
I thought I was defeated by Delphine Jurdina again.
Today was no exception.
The night before, senior Delphine suddenly appeared at the academy and was now sitting in front of me. As always, she held a glass of luxurious wine in one hand.
Every time the red liquid sloshed around in the glass, an enchanting scent leaked out. There was still a long time left until sunset, but the sight of the woman who had filled her glass since noon did not feel even the slightest bit awkward.
I don’t know if it suits you.
The uniform that reveals the pure white skin and curvaceous body unique to the Northern people combines with the rich and bright golden hair to create a gorgeous color scheme. Her appearance reminded me of the sun goddess.
So even if you drink in broad daylight, it will inevitably feel like a portrait.
I once again realized the beauty of the woman I held last night. What was even more surprising was that a woman of this size claimed to be my ‘mistress.’
Even thinking about it, it was a bit of luck that made me wonder. It’s just a sad reality that we have to call this a misfortune for today.
Senior Delphine muttered in a relaxed tone.
“I’m glad everyone looks healthy.”
And then I took the time to take a sip of my drink with a smile on my face.
The sight of him smiling slightly was truly magical. The eyes, which resembled ruby, seemed to take on a lustful glow for a moment.
She was an attractive woman whenever I saw her. She should have let out her exclamation, but all that came out of her mouth was a deep sigh.
The reason was simple.
As you can see from Delphine’s brief greeting, it was because we were not the only people present.
The air current that had already started to cool made my skin tingle. I had no choice but to sit like a criminal and wait for action.
Excluding Delphine and me, there are a total of three people standing here.
One of them was a ‘saint.’
She is now called ‘Saint Lucia’, but at one time she was a woman who did not even have a name. Then she met me, and after going through ups and downs, she was recognized as a saint.
She was also my wife.
The cold-faced saint seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today. It seemed relatively clear that the cause was senior Delphine, and the reason was simple.
Because Delphine’s malicious intent was at work in this meeting.
To give an example, yes.
“Why here?”
I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly as if I agreed.
It was just as the saint said. The place where Delphine said she wanted to share her story with her colleagues after a long time was none other than my room.
It was a story I had never heard of.
If we had known in advance, this would not have happened. Aren’t there traces of last night that can’t be hidden here?
Clothes scattered around and the smell of bodily fluids touching the tip of my nose.
The only consolation was that Delphine was in good shape. Well, it wouldn’t have been difficult to guess what happened the night before by looking at me rolling around on the bed naked.
I can’t believe you planned this meeting while I was asleep without thinking about it.
It was a situation where I had no choice but to sigh.
But this was a story limited only to me. Unlike me, who had a troubled expression on his face, Delphine’s attitude was quite relaxed.
So much so that the cold-faced saint looks awkward.
“Why? “It’s been cold these days, so I just wanted to minimize the movement.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard that the winter at the Academy is harsher than at Yurdina Castle.”
“hehehe, that’s right… “Maybe it was because it was so hot last night.”
It was a question and answer that took my breath away just listening to it.
I decided to shift my gaze again to find salvation. Still, I have high hopes that the remaining two will be better than the saints.
It was a vain expectation.
Even the second woman did not have a good expression. No, even the expression ‘not good’ might have been a somewhat conciliatory expression.
A gray spark.
That was the first sight that caught my eye.
The girl’s pupils, which had always been silver-gray, had lost their brightness. Even her complexion was so dark that it was difficult to find even a trace of her previous cheerful appearance.
I don’t know if you feel a hint of hostility.
It was my first time seeing it. Although he occasionally showed a sharp side, this was the first time he had seen such a blatant display of emotion. I don’t know if it was when you first met me.
Have you always been very jealous?
A question suddenly crossed my mind, but it was already too late.
“So why did you call us?”
“hehehe, I don’t know? Returning to the Academy after a long time, I wonder if I wanted to see the faces of my old comrades…….”
“You didn’t want to show off?”
The two women’s voices intersect without delay. At this point, I had no choice but to decide to surrender.
I quietly raised my hands and attempted to suture first.
“Now, now… I guess there is some misunderstanding…….”
“You need to be quiet.”
It was a failure.
The words the saint uttered while glaring at him were filled with many emotions. As someone who considers myself a loving wife, I had no choice but to keep quiet.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Despite my request, the conversation between the two women continued.
“What a show off… “What do you mean?”
“Don’t pretend not to know. Because I’m at the age where I know everything… “The sour smell is still in the air.”
“Oh my.”
Senior Delphine chuckled at Shien’s repeated questioning and burst out laughing. The liquid in her glass was flowing, and the penetrating sunlight was scattering a captivating red color.
“Someone like the princess has bad tastes… “You’re trying to reveal someone else’s private life.”
“Speak clearly. “I wasn’t caught, I was forced to witness it.”
“Well, okay.”
Despite the royal family’s harsh interrogation, senior Delphine’s relaxed attitude did not break down. She just let out a humming sound and raised her bored voice once more.
“I thought you would like it.”
“What, what…?” … !”
However, she hid her bones within it.
Shien’s face turned red after allowing the unexpected blow. Eventually, she looked restless, and then she glanced at me.
No matter how clueless she was, she couldn’t help but feel intuition.
No way, even in Yurdina Castle…….
As her eyes became lukewarm, her tone of voice became more urgent.
“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding! Sir Ian… No, brother? It was truly a coincidence back then! “Because it was a coincidence!”
‘Coincidence’.
The first night I spent with Sien flashed before my retina as I closed my eyes in silence. Even the unusual castle wall that the princess saw at that time.
The answer that finally escaped my lips felt somewhat awkward.
“…… Oh yeah.”
“You’re misunderstanding!”
Shien looked tearful and raised her voice, but that was all.
Because it wasn’t very persuasive.
At this point, victory or defeat was almost certain. Because no words could break Senior Delphine’s composure.
That was when senior Delphine smiled like a winner.
“Well, you have some other business, right?”
This was a claim made by a woman who had never said anything before.
The saintess’s body, which was preparing to argue once again, flinched. The eyes of the princess, who was consoling her shame, and Delphine, who was smiling mischievously, were also directed towards the epicenter.
The name of the woman who captured everyone’s attention is Emma.
She was the most insignificant person in this place in terms of status, but she was a great person whose true identity we had to go back to the mythical era.
Actually, no one here knew this fact.
Except only me.
So, it was natural for Emma to take a low stance and let out an awkward laugh. Should I say that she is the only person here who does not burn out her fighting spirit?
Emma’s reasoning continues quietly.
“It’s strange that it’s simply a call to cause jealousy. “Why did you have to call us all at the same time on the same day?”
“It’s faster to handle everything at once, right?”
“It’s an overly complicated method. Also, it happened that this kind of meeting happened…….”

Soon, the light green eyes secretly look at me.
I could tell just by looking at that strange air current. The fact that Emma also has some kind of relationship with me.
As if to prove this, the saintess’s expression was crumpled.
“No way…” Even Sister Emma… ….?”
“No, wait. “I think there’s a misunderstanding. Let me explain everything.”
Why do I have no choice but to pick up common excuses?
I hurriedly tried to explain why, but I doubted whether I would be able to persuade the angry woman. I couldn’t afford it anyway.
Because Emma had continued her reasoning before that.
“Actually, it’s the same as summoning the people who went to the North, right? “Except for those who could not come due to unavoidable circumstances.”
At her persuasive point, the anger of the trembling saint stopped.
Senior Delphine was the same as she turned her gaze while making a faint snort. At first glance, his attitude seemed like he wasn’t interested, but I knew.
That is the behavior that Delphine shows when she finds out my true intentions.
If I had to interpret it, it was a reaction closer to saying that it was no longer fun because I couldn’t play pranks anymore.
“Hmph, for a commoner, he has a pretty good sense of humor.”
It was a de facto declaration of surrender.
The tone of voice was sharp, but the content was closer to acknowledging the other person. As Delphine, a meritocrat, said this as a compliment.
However, the expression ‘commoner’ bothered me so much that I had no choice but to open my mouth.
“Um, Senior Delphine? Anyway, the word ‘commoner’ is a bit… ….”
“Oh my, if you have any complaints, will you keep your mouth shut like you did last night? “It’s good for me, though.”
Even if it is a rebellion with an end in sight.
As a man with many sins, I eventually had to keep my mouth shut. The saint’s harsh gaze was a bonus.
Therefore, the leadership of the speech falls back to senior Delphine.
“That’s right, I discovered something new while investigating Leoric’s residence with the elf.”
“Was the information important enough to be conveyed in person?”
“I don’t know how it is for you, but it is for me. “It’s a problem that involves our family.”
‘Family’.
As soon as I heard those words, I was suddenly struck by an intuition. A premonition that will guide my path in the future.
Is it because I sensed something unusual in Delphine’s voice, which had already become serious?
The women who were growling also remained silent and calmed their expressions.
At that time, all the audience’s attention was focused on senior Delphine’s lips.
“According to the records, Seria… Ouch!”
Senior Delphine covers her mouth and suddenly gags.
It was natural for the attendees, including me, to look stupid.
There was no warning, but suddenly?
It was the very next moment.
Senior Delphine, who had managed to control her anger, uttered her first words under her heavy breath.
“Ha, ha… Sorry. “It’s like this often these days.”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Even the expression that it had become cold was an understatement. Literally, cooling.
The blood drains from the faces of the audience. And an eerie chill runs down my spine.
No way, no way.
That couldn’t be possible, I thought to myself, but I was counting down the nights I spent with senior Delphine.
Senior Delphine’s hand carefully stroked her lower abdomen. While squinting one of her eyes.
“At this level, is it worth coming to visit in person?”
And static.
No one could open their mouth without permission. All they do is open their eyes and cover their mouths.
The end was a tearing scream.
“This, not…” FERKUSuuu!!!”
It was a scream full of anger uttered by a saint.
Haha, Go to hell, Ian.
