36. Back to the academy. (Part 1.5 Finished)
***
I moved to the port to return to the empire again.
“Okay!! Be well!! Iron-blooded daughter!!”
“May Drake be safe too.”
Drake and Sophitia say hello. Unlike when I came, it was decided that Asha would return with us.
The issue of the Apostle of Wrath has also been resolved, so monsters will no longer come down to the north. Sophitia Coldheart’s heart disease seems to be cured soon.
‘If it’s a stone, it’s trustworthy.’
I have a strong cold side, but in the end, I have a personality that takes care of the person who will take care of me. If you fell into the game like me, would you like to see it later?
“Pine, how was the hot spring yesterday?”
Fine hasn’t spoken to me since a while ago. The shock at the hot spring was so great that the habit that had stuck to me had disappeared.
“I can’t speak..”
When Sophitia mentioned the hot spring, her face went red like an exploding bomb. A glass knight covering both of her hands and bewildered.
“Pine. Are you okay?”
“..Hike. Suck.”
On top of that, it hiccups and runs away whenever I approach. Her snow-white hair flutters and hits her backwards.
‘The status window is rather nice.’
A pale pink status window appeared in front of you. Heart emojis are bouncing and falling under my feet as if I’m teasing someone.
[Lee Soo-hyun♡ Fine Grancia 4% ‘NEW!!’]
Fortunately, it didn’t go down. Before coming to the North, Fine’s attitude, which had always intended to hold me tight, changed to the opposite.
“Ah.. Uh..”
I could see golden wolf eyes swaying between my covered fingers. It’s definitely pretty enough that anyone can fall in love with it.
To the extent that I wonder if the night sky full of stars looking up from the pure white snowfield might be that color.
“..Licht, what the hell did you do?”
“Just a casual greeting.”
Sophitia looked at my face with a strange expression. Why, what I only kissed him on the cheek. In reality, they didn’t touch each other and only made noise.
Things like skinship should be done with someone you really love after dating. If you do something just because you want it without reason, it’s not pure love.
I love Fine, but now Fine is….
“Pine, don’t stay away and come here.”
“No.. No.. Pervert..”
Aren’t you an innocent girl who is ashamed of acquiring strange knowledge just by reading books?
‘I don’t think I even know how to kiss in the first place.’
If it’s true that you know how to do it, even if you hugged me by the nape of my neck and pressed your lips together, it didn’t seem enough.
Oddly enough, just touching his lips with his finger would relieve his rage, or even making a sound without even touching his cheek, he made a cute excuse and ran away.
It’s ridiculous to believe that kissing will make you fall in love. I played a little prank on that innocent wolf, and his reaction was like that.
“Perverted dog..!”
When I approached, I took a step back. Fine, who didn’t seem to change her emotions, now even screamed when I tried to approach her.
“Disciple, if you know this….”
“There was no unhealthy physical contact. Master.”
Drake lamented as he grabbed me by the shoulder. If Emperor Locke finds out, the North will be split in half. I know. But I couldn’t help it.
“It was necessary.”
I can’t see Fine getting entangled with a bad boy and asking for a kiss. Now, even at the academy, I often take off my helmet, so I might get caught saying I’m a woman.
Shouldn’t I stick by my side and help Finee learn true love?
She is just trying to give back what she has been given, just as she told me of her love when she was a nameless saint.
Although the relationship with me is on the rise. Considering that there was a harem route in Kinel and Nex, it could cause enough problems.
‘From a game company’s point of view, it might be better to give hope and then give it up.’
That’s the penalty for me. It doesn’t make sense if it was to capture her demon lord to change Fine’s past.
If I had stopped acting because I was afraid of penalty, by now I would have fallen into the machinations of the demon lords and would have been next to Fine, who couldn’t remember his friends, family, or even his own name.
But Fine also deserves to be happy because her original life was taken away from her.
She worked hard for her sake. She also tries to take care of her future as a saint herself. But is this really for Fine?
‘..Honestly, I don’t know.’
This question kept lingering in my heart. What a contradiction. Even though he felt that for Fine’s happiness, someone like me had to distance himself.
“Pine, if you don’t come soon, I will leave you behind.”
“…”
The double thoughts of wanting to go out with Fine continue to collide. To be honest, I thought the status window was bad too.
Why do you want to believe in numbers so much?
Maybe our Fine is too cute to break down all negative emotions.
“Leave it and take it.. Roll it up..”
I threatened to leave you behind, so look at them coming to my side with wobbly steps.
If you have any hopes, at Grand Hearts Academy, hang out with Fine and go on a date, and get close enough to openly talk about things you didn’t know about each other, and in the end….
“It is a lie.”
“It was real..”
How nice it would be if she even wore her wedding dress that she wanted to wear. If you come late, the boat has left and you have no choice but to leave it behind. Bloody
“Oh, Fine. Could you apply some burn ointment today?”
“..Here.”
When I first came to the North, it seemed like Fine was impatient with me. Now, when I lift her face mask and show her bare face, the reaction is like this.
“Didn’t you apply it?”
“Do it yourself, do it yourself..”
Turned her head to the side and handed her the ointment without making eye contact. The state of maintaining a certain distance.
“Then I will accept it gratefully.”
“Hey.. Licht..”
The reaction is so sensitive even if you lightly touch your finger. What if you really kissed me? At the hot springs, my rationality endured.
“Every day.. Must be applied..”
“I know. Blood.”
I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about it at night, but forcing myself to endure it was the right choice. If I had crossed the line at that time, I wouldn’t have seen such a cute Fine.
I also thought that everyone was like a beauty group prepared to surround me.
Maybe he could have woken up in the basement of the imperial palace with his entire body chained up.
“Princess Sophitia, I will leave now.”
“Just call me Sophie. If you’re Pine’s boyfriend, he’s a close friend to me too.”
I said hello to the Grand Duchess of the North just before boarding the ship. A woman with bear ears dressed in black from her head to toe.
“The choice of words…. It seems wrong, but…”
“How are you? You’re a male friend right?”
This person keeps stabbing me in the same way as the pillar westerner. Still, let’s consider ourselves lucky we didn’t add poison to our dinner at the hot springs.
“My princess, take good care of me. Black Knight.”
“Do you need words? If you don’t, I’ll do just fine.”
“Be careful not to be jealous. Are the Yinrang people afraid if they get it wrong?”
A little cold sweat ran down her neck. Were there more features I didn’t know about? Fine, when she was a saint, she was of the Yinrang tribe, so I never heard her say anything.
She had a strong feeling that something was wrong, but since she wasn’t going to see any other woman besides Fine, she decided not to care.
Even if he’s very jealous, his defense is weak, so he’ll collapse in one hit.
“Ah, can you tell me this when a man named Plinz returns?”
I decided to leave a message for the pillar westerners who might be possessed by this game.
If the grand route and status window are visible only to me, it’s as if they entered because of me.
“There is a pure love black knight in the academy.”
“..Okay. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’ll make sure to tell you.”
This is enough to figure it out. I don’t know if a cure for heart disease will be completed in the near future, but I’ll be able to meet you someday.
“Thank you. Sophie.”
I got on the boat with a lighter step than usual. Maybe it’s because I looked back at my heart in the North.
Wouldn’t it be nice if she could be a little more honest with Fine. As she thought, she was hit by the wind and waves.
***
Under the blue sea lies the deep sea.
“Why aren’t they selling sea rabbit feet!!”
“Hey, I don’t sell it to dirty land dwellers.”
At a general store there, a man and a middle-aged man with octopus feet were raising their voices at each other.
A man with impressive red eyes and white hair struggles to purchase an item that is not for sale.
“Can I make a tempting proposal?”
“Is that…?”
Soon he took a step back and held a silver amulet to the merchant.
An item large enough to drop the soap bubble cigarettes smoked by merchants. It was a token that looked similar to the one Richt showed when entering the hot spring.
It looked inferior to gold, but the reaction came out as if it were a sufficiently precious item.
“A hot spring ticket that only high-ranking people go to..?! Where the hell!”
As he tried to snatch the shiny silver in front of him, the white-haired man quickly stopped his gesture.
“Uh-huh, don’t touch it.”
“I will sell the sea hare’s feet!! So come on!!”
The white-haired man checked the octopus vendor’s reaction, his face turning red.
“Good. Do you trade?”
In the end, he succeeded in bartering with the goods he wanted and left the store leisurely. The man started talking to himself while looking at the jellyfish shining beautifully in the dark sea.
“I bought the snow marine crystals in advance.. Unicorn horn…. No. This must go to the land of fire.”
He smiled contentedly at the flow of his thoughts, took a long piece of parchment from under his arm, and read the article.
“Suhyeon-ah.. What is this while you were writing down what you did for the magic hat try..”
A man with the pseudonym Plinz, with a sullen look on his long list. He expressed his displeasure by tousling his white hair once.
“Even I couldn’t do it, so I spread it to the community to ask anyone to come and break it….”
When Plinz reached out his hand, small bats formed a straight line and his favorite weapon appeared. A reddish magic spear.
“There is nothing provided by the game company. If this is the case, then I should protect my princess.”
After confirming that the spear could be summoned from the water, Flints drew an arc around his mouth.
“As long as this is resolved, the monster’s attack will not be a problem.”
As the words erased from the parchment increased one by one, the player who used to use the nickname of Grand Princess of the North’s husband moved to another place.
