213. Year-end banquet (2)
“Daniel, long time no see.”
Eve, who has been strong since her appearance, and Tana behind her. Tana was looking at me with a disgusted expression for following my instincts, but I cleared my throat and deliberately ventilated the room once.
By the way, when I showed my back, Sen started punching me from behind.
“It’s been a while. How have you been with Tana?”
“Yes, the time I spent in the Meias family library in particular was fantastic! I wanted to live there all my life.”
“I was bored because I always brought rice.”
“haha……”

Just looking at it, Eve is locked in the library and won’t come out, so it seems that Tana brought food because she was worried.
“But you played a lot with Ben and Bathory.”
“I was going to play with you.”
Ben Meias and Bathory Meias.
In the past, they were two people who were very uncomfortable with Tana, but now they seem to have become quite close. That’s a good thing.
“Hey, I’m glad you’re doing well anyway. There was something I wanted to ask of you too.”
“depending on?”
“It feels like I’m just asking for something extra.”
Tana and Eve immediately furrowed their eyebrows, but smiled awkwardly and avoided answering.
However, it is impossible to entrust these two people with a truly dangerous task. The two of them also understood that much, so they just said it and accepted it without much difficulty.
“Tana will probably give you a separate task for the Meias family. There are a lot of things to prepare, so you are responsible for doing things according to my instructions.”
“Hey, what the Lord said was true. The continent will be destroyed, and the culprit is Ares?”
When I went to see the king, the head of the Meias family was also occupied. So, of course, the words went to Tana, who I knew as my friend.
I nod my head, seeing that he wasn’t too surprised.
“Since I’m a student, there really isn’t much I can do, but I’ll ask you anyway.”
“What can I do with what you say? I’ll just look after you.”
I knew that I didn’t expect much from Tana, who was still a student. Eve, who was next to her, was also watching blankly to see if she thought of herself as supporting Tana by the side.
“Eve, let’s go to Yongin with me.”
“Yes?”
Eve is taken aback when she suddenly says that she is going to Yongin with her. At the moment, I was slightly distracted by the rocking thing, but Sen’s hand, which was punching me from behind, gained a little more strength.
“Hey, it hurts now.”
I ignored it because I wanted to know how long it would last, and I just waited, and this is the momentum to do it until the end of the real banquet.
When I turned around, Sen was still looking up at me with a pouting expression.
“……”
Sen has an expression that he is fighting a battle he can never back down from. I slipped to the side and gathered the three people together in a situation where I was stuck in front and behind and said.
“Listen to Sen too. You, too, will go to the land of the dragons with me.”
“uh? me too?”
“Yeah, because I need it.”
I need to go to the land of the dragons and meet Shakalim, the dragon god, but I know it won’t be easy.
In the case of Sen, he is good at moving secretly, so he was included in this schedule.
“Me, Sen and Eve. The three of us will go like this. Everyone else has a job to do, so it’s a minimum number.”
“I’m a little nervous, but I like it.”
“I like it too.”
I thought what if I refused, but Eve and Sen accepted it without saying a word.
“I understand Sen, but why are you taking me?”
Eve’s blue dress was rustling and her arm was rubbing the arm on the other side. He seemed anxious about something, so I said it comfortably.
“Don’t worry, I’m just taking you because you’re the one who seems to know the most legends and stories about dragons. Just think of it as sightseeing.”
“Ah, was it like that?”
Certainly, he clenched his fists with confidence, saying that this was his specialty. Sen, who was watching this blankly, sneaks up to me.
“I will admit it.”
“yes?”
“It’s burdensome, but I think it’s good.”
“……”
“I’m going to go get some beans.”
“……cheer up.”
This may be because the dress Eve is wearing is made of thin fabric, so even the slightest movement causes the chest to shake greatly. Thanks to this, men passing by had no choice but to turn their eyes to Eve at least once.
“I’ve never felt such an overwhelming sense of defeat.”
Sen grumbled and walked away. While praying for her luck, I asked Eve, who did not even know that she had won after winning.
“Do you like beans?”
“Soy? wow! Beans are what I hate the most. I never eat.”
“…Yeah, don’t tell anyone about it.”
If this is enough, you just have to think that the choir is a bad thing. While we were talking more with Tana and Eve, I saw a girl with short hair who was busy roaming the banquet hall by herself and approached me.
“What are you so busy with?”
“Daniel? You must be busy Now I have to take responsibility for the Ren family alone.”
“Don’t think too hard. You have a strong back.”
“Elise? Well, he’s a good kid, but I think he’s going to make a strict distinction between public life and life.”
what a disgusting thing to say
“No, I am known to be favored by Elise right next to you. spend some time That will definitely change the way people treat you.”
“…… Thank you.”
Most nobles already know that Elise has overwhelming trust in me. There were aristocrats who talked to me several times, and there were also people who looked at me.
And if I had a long conversation with Ha-yun, I could make the nobles present here at least misunderstand that the Ren family and Elise have a close relationship.
“Honestly, it was very difficult. Knowing that his uncle passed away, the other aristocrats must have thought that since a 17-year-old boy became the head of the household, he was virtually extinct.”
The nobles were judging that even if they dared to be friendly with the already crumbling family, returning later would be an unreasonable request.
In addition, the Ren family maintained a close relationship with the treason, the Maiden of Time.
Originally, it would not have been strange if they were executed together by sitting together, but if you put it that way, most nobles had their own relationship with the shaman of time.
It was deliberately cut neatly so that the nobility did not have sparks.
Hayun glanced at the nobles around us, looking at us, and smiled softly with a glass in her mouth.
“It’s definitely effective. It will be easier next time.”
“Yeah, that’s how you make some friends.”
It wasn’t alcohol, it was just juice, but we clinked our glasses. Then, Ha-yoon found a love bracelet on my wrist.
“Oops, I forgot that.”
In the last episode, Ha-yoon cut the bracelet on my wrist and made a half-confession, saying that it would be nice if my love with Eris failed.
But this time, before I even cut the bracelet, I called the people together and found that the bracelet was still on my wrist.
“Give me your hand.”
Hayoon seemed to be thinking of cutting my bracelet with her own hands again, but I obediently held out my arm and asked.
“You’re not going to cut it, are you?”
“……”
Is there such a way to say that a person flinched? Indeed, Hayun looked at me with an expression that read it perfectly.
“Tee… do you have a lot?”
“No, not at all. So I hadn’t even thought about it until now.”
Even after hearing that, Hayun took out a pair of sewing scissors from the small bag pocket she always wore around her waist and cut it in pieces.
“what? But can you be so blunt? I’m a little hurt.”
not.
You have already told me enough, and I was very confused. So I removed my empty wrist and told Hayun.
“I can’t give you an answer right now. But when it’s all over, I’ll give you a clear answer.”
“……”
“I’m sorry, I can only say this right now.”
Hayun, who bowed her head in response to my answer, looked at the glass she was holding with both hands, and then slowly turned her gaze to me.
I don’t know if it’s because the lighting is bright or if someone got drunk on Hayun’s glass.
Hayun, who had become blush to the extent of seeing this for the first time, said to me as if something was wrong with her.
“Do I have to build a family? So, I have no intention of dating anyone with a light heart or starting a relationship with a man.”
“Well?”
Seeing me with a confused expression on my face, Ha-yun was relieved because she felt like she had won a little.
So, I’ll add the backstory.
“I’m just saying that dating isn’t the end. The point at which everything you say is over, in fact, may not be over for me.”
“……”
“I am just getting started. Although some may say that there is virtually no chance because I am later than everyone else.”
Ha-yoon, who wet her lips with the drink in the glass, declared to me with only a glance.
“Originally, the last thing to pick up, the earliest to cut down the enemy. Because it’s the swordsmanship I learned.”
Seeing how even romance was substituted for swordsmanship, I laughed in vain.
“Certainly, the double wielding sword was cool.”
“uh? saw?”
“You practiced in the village. My posture was a bit shaky, but it will get better if I correct it.”
“Chiit, I was going to show you when it’s finished.”
Although Hayun was tickling, her gaze reached the entrance, and she sighed and pointed at the chin.
“Do you think I should go?”
When I turned my attention to her words, there was an elf, who could be called the pinnacle of beauty, who staggered into the banquet hall with blushing faces.
“Because you are sleeping in your room.”
I tapped my forehead, I said sorry to Hayun and headed to Eris.
swish!
Behind him, he heard the sound of Hayun throwing the cut love bracelet out the window.
