102 – back to normal
“Ugh, it’s a goal… ….”
Hyunjin got up from bed and muttered while looking at his smartphone.
Looking at today’s time, it was a normal Monday.
Just yesterday, the finals of the martial arts competition were held.
“Hi, it’s Saksin.”
I couldn’t believe that the item I received from Kanade was a transformation tool. I roughly expected it.
The problem is that after using the transformation once, I felt drained of energy after it was released.
“By the way… ….”
The prom finals.
It ended with Hyunjin’s victory.
“It was difficult.”
Hyeonjin’s ability to beat Hotaru was closer to the point where he was able to beat Hotaru with his temper and physical ability.
If it hadn’t been for Kanade’s tools, she might have been horribly beaten.
Compared to Hotaru, what Hyunjin learned was the form of technique. There was no time to feel the proper flow of energy or anything like that.
I asked Ed for a demonstration and he did it right, but Hyunjin couldn’t learn it properly even though he tried to learn it.
‘If I meet Hotaru later, it wouldn’t be bad to learn something.’
This incident was the part where I realized how far my strength was.
‘Well, I don’t think I’ll ever use it again.’
After winning the martial arts competition, Hyunjin couldn’t meet Hotaru.
It was because he went back straight away.
Smart.
Knock lightly a couple of times.
“Come in.”
At Hyunjin’s words, the door opened, and the servants of the Lionheart family entered.
“Good night, Hyunjin.”
“Ah, yes… ….”
“The master and the lady are waiting for you at the banquet hall.”
“I’ll be leaving soon.”
“No, I will help you prepare.”
At the same time as the servant spoke, several servants who were waiting outside came in at once and approached Hyunjin.
The butler’s uniform brought by the servant was stiffly ironed, and while Hyunjin was confused, he quickly took off his pajamas and changed into his clothes.
“I’ll make your makeup and hair simple.”
“Gwa, that’s fine.”
“I have to.”
The servant opened his mouth after tidying up Hyunjin.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
I wanted to wash it if possible. Rather than this headdress.
Hyeonjin grumbled inwardly and decided to follow the servant’s guidance.
I went to the banquet hall following the servant’s guidance, and William, Amelia, and Kanade were seated and waiting.
Rachel was standing next to Amelia.
“Have you had a good rest, Hyunjin?”
“Yes. Thanks to the consideration of the head of the household.”
Hyunjin replied formally to William’s words.
“Huh, Hyunjin? I never thought you’d be so good to me.”
“That’s an exaggerated statement.”
“With all due respect, whenever we hold dance competitions, our family has never won.”
“Did that happen?”
“It wouldn’t have happened if Tommy and Ed were on active duty, but now there are hardly any servants to stand up for. It must be Rachel at least.”
“Did Rachel go to the prom?”
William nodded and answered Hyunjin’s question.
“Well, that’s right. It’s embarrassing, but I haven’t won a championship in years.”
“I’m sorry, my lord.”
“What is there to be sorry about? Rachel, you fought well too. Only…… Lately, strong people have been robbing the championship every time, so it’s a loss of face as an organizer.”
“What would you do if I didn’t go out and win?”
“Wouldn’t that be something to think about at that time? Ha ha ha!”
William laughed heartily.
“Me, Father.”
“Huh? What is it, daughter?”
“Can I leave today’s chess tournament to Rachel?”
“Um… ….”
Amelia’s words gave William a little trouble.
“Hyunjin’s chess skills are also excellent, so why?”
“I just want you to attend the prom and win, are you planning on playing chess as well?”
“I was going to do that.”
“Now he needs to rest!”
“Um…… There is some truth to that.”
“The food is delicious.”
When Kanade put her food in her hands first, Amelia scolded Kanade.
“Miss Ichinose! Isn’t it bad table manners to touch the food when the other person isn’t even seated?”
“But…… I am hungry.”
“Oh, come on, let’s eat. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”
As a butler, Hyunjin felt a little dizzy at the situation where he was being treated as an honored guest, but it’s worth listening to William’s words, and he sat down thinking the same thing.
“Then, I’ll go back right after dinner. For the chess tournament, Uncle Tommy is enough, isn’t it?”
“Well, yes, but…… I’m a little sorry though. With Hyunjin’s skills, even if he doesn’t win, he’ll be at the top level. Hmm, that was a lot to say. There will be a lot of hunger, so let’s have a quick meal.”
William said, licking his lips as if it was a waste.
***
After dinner, Hyunjin and the others took a light bath, and returned to the mansion on a private plane.
Kanade didn’t seem to mind that Hyunjin called Amelia a lady.
As soon as he got off the plane, Hyunjin asked Kanade.
“Kana-chan.”
“Ugh…… ?”
“Mother, didn’t you say anything?”
“Yeah, I told you to have a good trip.”
I’m sure, even if that’s the case. To take a kid who has just turned 13 on a plane and let it run wild.
“I speak English well.”
“Then there won’t be any problems…… “
Hyunjin answered moderately, but at the same time he was worried. Isn’t foreign countries a dangerous place to travel alone?
Especially when you’re young like Kanade.
“How was your attendance?”
“In moderation, I did well on my own.”
“You’re not absent, are you?”
“Yes. I said I couldn’t go because I had a fever.”
“Did your mother cooperate? … “
When Hyunjin made a puzzled expression, Kanade held Hyunjin’s hand and said.
“Take me home.”
Amelia, who was next to Kanade’s words, muttered as if she couldn’t help it.
“Yes, Hyunjin. I can’t help it. Please let me go.”
“Okay.”
Hyunjin went to take out her bike at Amelia’s words, and Kanade decided to wait in front of her mansion.
As Hyunjin brought out her bike, Kanade carefully boarded behind her and then opened her mouth.
“Hyunjin.”
“Huh?”
“Why do you call Amelia a lady?”
“Uh…… Yes, because Amelia is my master.”
“If you become Hyunjin’s master, will she be able to hear the voice of a lady?”
“What, right? Maybe.”
“Then come to me.”
Kanade made an offer to Hyunjin.
“Huh? What?”
Hyunjin pretended not to hear while pedaling, but Kanade was still the same.
“I have a lot of money…… So, come to me.”
“Mmm.”
At Kanade’s bold words, Hyunjin shook her head and said.
“I’m grateful for Kana-chan’s feelings, but…… Unfortunately, that’s hard.”
“Why…… ?”
Kanade asked in a puzzled tone at Hyunjin’s words.
“It’s a matter of the heart.”
“Mind?”
“Yes. For some reason, when I see Amelia…… In a corner of my heart, I want to think that I want to help. That’s how I feel.”
“I see… ….”
Kanade showed a look of regret.
Hyunjin felt a little depressed at the gaze he felt from behind.
‘Kanade is looking for me.’
What is the point if the heart is not reciprocated?
‘I want to make everyone happy.’
Even while pedaling the bicycle, Hyunjin couldn’t properly answer Kanade’s words.
She went on to answer now, she wondered if it would hurt her.
***
“It’s all over, Kana-chan.”
“Hyunjin… ….”
“Huh?”
Kanade got off her bike and grabbed Hyunjin by the hem of his sleeve.
“What’s going on, Kana-chan?”
“How was the thing I made…… ?”
“You mean shoes and gloves.”
“Yes. And the transformation equipment…… “
Kanade didn’t look as dazed as usual.
When she brought up the story of the tool, she began to openly reveal the feeling of being pounding and beating.
‘I guess.’
There are people who like to be evaluated when they make something.
‘Hmm.’
To put it bluntly, these items were so convenient that they could be called perfect.
And first of all, it’s cool.
Should I say that there is something that satisfies a man’s passionate soul?
The transformation suit was such a guy.
“The suit is still in the development stage…… I will add more cool features later.”
“What are you making, you bastard?”
“Something cool.”
“Oh, what. It’s nice, but…… “
As Hyunjin murmured, her words spilled out, Kanade pushed her head in her head and said.
“Pause me.”
“hahahaha, Kana-chan. Yes, yes…… Good job.”
Hyunjin stroked Kanade’s head a few times. After a while, she slipped out of Hyunjin’s grip and raised her thumb.
“I want to go in now!”
“Yes, Kana-chan. You must be very tired, so hurry up and take a nap.”
“Yes!”
Kanade entered the house with a happy expression on her face.
“Whew.”
She sighed as Kanade went back into her house.
Okay then, back to school tomorrow.
She thought it would take longer than expected, but she was glad that Amelia’s intervention prevented her from going to a chess tournament or something.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you’re only getting 1800 points and you’re dealing with at least 2000++ or even a grand master?
“By the way.”
The Sports Festival is coming soon.
I have a feeling that something interesting is going to happen.
Hyunjin stepped on the bicycle pedal again.
