85.
After we finished eating, we chatted with him.
Lancia heard a very shocking story about him.
‘… … An incurable disease?’
It was a half-joking story, but it must have been true.
A nonsensical, absurd disease that reduces the lifespan of each summoned beast.
I couldn’t believe it, but there was no reason not to believe it.
‘Indeed, the reason why the summons are strong… … .’
Ian was the second multiple summoner to appear after the first emperor, and none of his summoned summons were weak.
Probability of summoning three minions and all of them being 3 stars or higher, and the probability of unlocking all of the minions’ original arts.
absurdly low If that was possible, it was a genius from heaven.
‘It’s called Jae In Park Myung.’
At the same time, it was entirely up to him whether his lifespan was shortened. If he wants to, if he can reduce the summons of his summons even now and continue his life—.
“… I can live.”
“yes?”
“Even now- if you leave the academy and enter a desolate estate, if you hand over your summons to someone else. Life can be saved.”
After hearing Lancia’s words, Ian looked at her as if she was talking nonsense.
But her words were not over.
“If you do that, your life will be saved. Is it your destiny to defeat the demons? You have already done your part.”
Ian Clark, I found out very little about him after he passed out. It was very easy to find out about him, how many rumors had spread about him.
It is said that he had already killed numerous demons to save the academy from danger, and even cut the heads of top-class demons.
This was a feat that an ordinary summoner could not achieve even if he worked hard all his life, and it was an achievement that reached several marquis, or even dukes.
He has already done his duty. If he retired, no one would say anything to him.
Will it be-.
“Are you still going to fight for your life?”
Death means the end.
Even if I give my life to save the world, it means nothing to him.
Nevertheless, Ian smiled and looked at Lancia.
“Of course.”
“… why?”
What the hell made him that way?
Lancia looked at Ian with a puzzled look.
Ian looked at her with unsuspecting eyes.
“Because I have to.”
“What-.”
“Because it can be.”
There is life in his eyes. Where did the person who looked like a droopy corpse from before went? In just a few hours, he seemed to be a completely different person.
“Because only I can do it.”
The moment she heard those words, Lancia thought of her mother. Just like you said, who lost his life in the first place.
—Rancia, there must be something you can do.
-No one else, only you.
I didn’t understand the meaning of the word when I was young, but now it’s different.
Now, he seemed to be able to understand the meaning of those words a little.
“Ian Clark.”
“why?”
“Until now, I have proposed to you half-jokingly.”
Lancia slowly got up from her seat and walked over to the seat in front of him. Because she was usually wearing men’s clothes with knights, her behavior was very masculine.
“Not this time.”
Having said that, I knelt in front of Ian and placed a hand on my chest. The oath of chivalry, which the knights often used to make.
“I swear by the name of Lancia Ariel.”
She never thought she would do something like this, but she spoke skillfully, as if she had been waiting for this moment all her life.
“Ian Clark, I give my life to you.”
For you, I will offer my spirit and body.
“Until that resolution is changed, all of me is yours.”
It was a shame for a maiden who had just graduated from the academy to say it, but Lancia completed her oath perfectly without blushing or stuttering.
“May that thought last forever-.”
So that she could be by your side forever, she prayed from the bottom of her heart.
* * *
‘What kind of rice cake is this?’
While we were talking at the restaurant while digesting food, I listened to Lancia’s oath and looked at her blankly.
It was a sudden oath, but the contents of it did nothing to harm me.
It would be foolish to refuse even if there was nothing to lose, so naturally, he nodded and placed his hand on her head.
“… What is this?”
Then she rolled her eyes and looked at me. I quickly removed my hand, wondering if something was wrong, and Lancia shook her head and stood up.
“Ian Clark, the son of a baron, doesn’t seem to know anything… Touching a woman’s hair is something only her husband can do.”
“… Oh, you’re giving it all away?”
“You’re grabbing a horse’s tail. I said I’d give my all, but that doesn’t mean I can’t s*xually harass my body.”
“No, when did I s*xually harass you… .”
“Did you not know? When a woman feels s*xually ashamed, that is harassment… .”
As I listened to Lancia’s words, who was getting dizzy, I remembered that this world was created in 21st century Korea, which was filled with Confucianism and PCs.
A world in which human rights exist for virtual beings that do not exist in reality, and the foundation of the game may collapse if only a few lines of text demean women.
“… All right, you just have to be careful in the future.”
“Be careful when meeting other women in the future.”
Surprisingly, she took a step back, even though she looked angry. I felt puzzled by that fact, but I had no intention of rekindling the anger that had barely subsided by pointing it out.
“I have a question for you.”
“what?”
“Is that oath, can you do it as you please?”
“… I am the head of the Ariel family. If anything happens to the governor, it means that I will be the full power of this family.”
“… … what it is.”
“I don’t need to explain.”
To me, her words sounded like she would stab even my father if something happened.
Even though there was nothing that induced me to be on my side, it was especially problematic for women to give everything to their lover in this way.
“… Don’t kill me.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Watching her take off the shichimi, I felt sleepy and realized that it was time to go back.
I looked at the clock and realized that I had passed the time I had originally slept, and I began to feel very sorry for waking up the maid and the cook in the middle of the night.
“The maid who found me.”
“Oh, I already told her to punish me.”
“… No, why are you punishing them?”
“That’s because I left you in the hallway and headed to the restaurant first.”
“It was because I asked for something to eat… ”
“At the time when I left a patient who couldn’t control my body alone, I couldn’t fulfill the duty of a maid. What would you have done if you were walking alone down the stairs while the maid was gone and you fell?”
I had nothing to say. Because that’s what I thought when the maid left me alone and left.
However, if she was punished for making a mistake while trying to save someone, she was likely to be reluctant to help others in the future.
“… Still, don’t punish me. I must have been embarrassed.”
“Hmm- if you really say that… I’ll tell you to finish with education.”
“Yeah, some education would be necessary.”
While we were talking, I touched my lips as I recalled the squishy texture that covered my lips.
Seeing me suddenly touching my lips, Lancia tilted her head to see what was going on.
“… No, I see.”
Usually, the restraints of the aristocracy. It is also the law that the higher the position of the noble, the more chastity is valued.
Among the three-star summons, there were also unicorns that only virgins could use by setting them up, so it will be even more so in a different world where chastity is the real power.
So, there was a high possibility that Lancia, who had not yet married, was a virgin.
“Well… me, that.”
“Did you get sick again?”
“First kiss, huh?”
It was a difficult question to ask, but I couldn’t beat my curiosity. When Lancia heard my question, she tilted her head, then turned into a blush and blushed.
“Ah, ah, no, that… Because that was a lifesaving act! Where is the man who hits lifesaving counts!”
“It’s your first kiss.”
I laughed awkwardly in regret. Then he told her to calm down.
“Oh, that’s good. Because it was my first kiss too.”
At those words, Lancia turned her head away without licking her lips.
Covering her blushing face with one hand, she carefully opened her mouth.
“Well, that’s good… .”
I could see Lancia’s fingers stroking my lips.

“aave-!”
The next day, a huge eagle flew over the duke’s mansion.
Noah got on top of it, and without waving his hands at random, he freely fell towards the mansion.
A startled eagle tried to catch her, but Noah’s summoned beast appeared before him.
woohoo-!
“Ian! I went!”
I tried to reduce the impact on my own, but the weight of the giant statue, which weighed several hundred tons, smashed the entire garden of the mansion and landed.
However, Noah took out the decree from his bosom saying that the garden was not important.
“Well, Ian Clark. Here, obey your Majesty’s orders!”
As Ian received the bull from Noah, he looked at her expression. I haven’t seen her for only a few days, but how much she suffered, her face was covered in fatigue.
