207 – The process of becoming an adult
The next morning. After leaving the dark passage, Siron faced the pouring sunlight.
‘…Is this the place where you even fainted?’
The answer to the question I had always wondered about, where this place is, was finally answered.
The air was so stifling that it was suffocating, and the sand on the floor made it impossible for me to do anything. The result of knocking him out and fighting him was that he never left the training ground.
“Mana, uh… it was a training room. Uhh… huu…”
While looking at the panoramic view of the practice room, Shiron patted her aching back. Is it the effect of losing strength as much as tension has been released? Because of the aftereffects that come right after masturbation or intercourse, I kept sighing unintentionally.
“…are you okay?”
Siriel, who came out of the training room belatedly, asked with a worried tone.

Likewise, she had been exercising vigorously all night, so her walking posture was unsteady, but even so, the first thing she worried about was the well-being of her beloved brother.
As the accumulated tension was released and my heated head cooled, I suddenly realized that this was not a dream, but reality.
“Are you okay? How many times do I have to tell you?”
Siron, who was in the middle of healing himself by patting various places, tried to put on a bright expression towards Siriel, who was feeling sorry and didn’t know what to do.
“When I told you about my engagement, I was bad for thinking of how surprised you would be.”
“…But, I ruined your brother’s first experience.”
“no.”
“Huh? No?”
“…That means it’s not your fault.”
Shiron was so nervous that he wondered if he had ever been this serious before.
“I should have noticed your nervousness… I didn’t know the battle would last this long, but I kept putting off my confession, so I felt your nervousness.”
“brother…”
“So… there’s absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty. Anyway, it’s all my fault.”
“S-don’t say that!”
Siriel was suddenly hugged by repeated self-reproach. A large diamond sparkles on the ring finger of his left hand and stands out.
“It’s not your fault, brother! It was my fault!”
“…okay?”
“It’s all my fault. He’s not some kid, I just couldn’t wait a few days so I threw him away.”
“What did you do wrong?”
Siron stroked the face of Siriel, who was hanging on his belt. At that affectionate touch, Siriel’s mind was filled with an ecstatic feeling and she was dazed.
“It was wrong to knock my brother unconscious and fight him, and it was also wrong to disparage Lucia, my ‘little sister’, in front of him. Looking back, everything that happened yesterday was such a shallow behavior that I’m embarrassed to even remember it.”
“So… you’re saying it’s all your fault?”
“huh!”
Siriel nodded vigorously with a face dripping with honey.
Because of what happened yesterday, her heart became clear without any dirty feelings, and she couldn’t resist the feeling of ignoring her mistakes without any problem.
‘How can he be so kind, kind, handsome, capable, intelligent, and generous?’
Of course, love and trust can turn blind. What kind of man in the world would be able to forgive kidnapping, assault and rape and even proceed with an engagement? Even if you search history books, it is difficult to find such a superman.
The moment we were hugging for a long time. Affectionate kisses were showered on Siriel’s face. Side by side – With each kiss, Siriel’s face becomes more and more mushy. The arms hugging my thick waist lost strength, and the legs that were stepping on the ground also lost strength.
I wish it would be like this for the rest of my life. That’s what she thought, but Siriel tried her best to escape the shower of kisses.
“Hey… brother?”
“huh?”
“I slept well. It’s not that I don’t like kisses, but my father will be looking for them.”
Siriel looked at the sky with a face that seemed as if it was about to explode. As the sun was already setting, my commute to and from the academy was over, and I was worried whether I would be able to safely complete my afternoon schedule.
“Hey, how about missing a day? I’m sure my father-in-law will understand.”
“Oh, no!”
Siriel pushed Siron away. Sweet words without knowing the appropriate amount were a problem, but the subtle change in title to ‘father-in-law’ especially made her breathe harder.
“I’m going to be your brother’s wife from now on. Then, I have to become someone you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show off anywhere.”
“okay?”
“Yes! It shouldn’t have been resolved like this already.”
Siriel, who grieved at this, hardened her heart. Her mother, Eldrina, advised her that the only time a wife with a good husband can show her weaknesses is in bed.
Siriel made a promise repeatedly in her head and clasped both of Shiron’s hands together.
“I want my brother to not regret choosing me.”
“Cyriel is an adult.”
“That’s right, if you’re an adult, you have to take responsibility for your actions. So that’s it for today.”
Siriel smiled bashfully and left without looking back after a final hug.
like that,
Seeing the back of her leaving without regret, Shiron thought quietly.
‘It sucks.’
A fatal element that has been on my mind ever since. Siriel seemed to firmly believe that Siron was the first.
‘Surely, you didn’t do it skillfully? At least I remember I never got frozen…’
I looked back at last night’s events several times, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find anything that made me look like a virgin.
‘Yuma isn’t the type to go around telling others, but other kids might not know.’
As soon as he returned to the annex, Siron went up to his room and immediately dipped his pen in ink.
“Did you enjoy the hot night?”
“…Surely you stole it this time?”
Siron, who was quickly writing a letter, answered without looking back.
Still, I have a lot to do today. I have to meet the Cardinal and make sure that Dras and his wife’s scars have been properly repaired, and in the meantime, I have to call Encia and send a letter as well.
“As I always say, I wish you could distinguish between public and private life. If you keep doing this, it will follow you even when you run errands.”
“Oh, it can’t possibly be like that.”
Latera sneered at the grumbling Siron.
“I’m an angel. I don’t do anything morally wrong.”
“…Then how do you know?”
“There’s a way to everything, right?”
Latera laughed and looked above Siron’s head.
[Number of Experienced Persons: 1]
A phrase that flashed from the moment you entered the outbuilding. The message window did not classify demons as humans, so it was not possible to check how many demons she had been hanging out with, but Latera was able to check as many as were classified as humans.
“Because today is an auspicious day, I should stop by the cathedral and pray. Ah, Lord. The warrior I serve has finally established a normal relationship with a pure woman instead of a dirty prostitute. Please bless this and brighten the future of our warrior. I beg you to shine brightly.”
“Don’t do it. Do you have anything to brag about in the neighborhood?”
After taking care of the letter she had written, Shiron tapped the swaying top of her head.
“I’m leaving right away, so prepare to leave soon.”
“yes!”
Latera followed along with an excited look on her face. Siron walked down the second floor hallway and looked for Encia, but there was no answer when he called her name today to see what was going on.
“Master, Encia is out of town right now.”
While walking through the second floor hallway, Siron encountered Ophelia on the stairs going down to the first floor.
Encia and Ophelia, who originally managed the outbuildings, were not compatible with Latera and did not often come to the area where Siron and Latera lived, so the radius where Siron and Latera resided was currently managed by employees carefully selected by Eldrina.
“Really? Then when will you come back?”
“It will probably take a while.”
“long time?”
Shiron, who had been tilting her head, frowned upon hearing Ophelia’s story.

capital’s hospital.
Shiron and Seira put on the visitor’s necklace and got on the elevator. Seira’s attire was modest today, but when she heard that she was meeting members of the religious order, she even put on the nun’s uniform she wore in Lucerne.
The two of them, who had reached the top floor like that, were able to face familiar faces while walking down a quiet hallway.
Cardinal Deviale Zebiel, in charge of the Diocese of Lien, ran to Siron, whom he had not seen in a long time, with a bright smile on his face.
“It’s been a while. Brother Chiron.”
“I said I would come with good news, but why are you excited about this?”
“hahahaha, is it obvious?”
The cardinal gave off a cheeky chuckle. What should I hide in front of the warrior? He guided Shiron to the hospital room without asking Seira’s identity.
The luxurious door opened wide, and after walking down the aisle for a while, a man who could be described as middle-aged came into view.
“…Meet the benefactor.”
As soon as Reynold Drass saw Chiron’s face, he stood up.
“How the hell can I get this grace…”
“There’s no need for a clichéd thank you. I’m here just out of courtesy.”
Siron immediately cut off Reynold’s greeting. It was an attitude that could be seen as rude, but it was unavoidable. Although Berian disappeared after killing the Seven Apostles, the fact that it was Reynold who manipulated Lucia remained the same.
“How are you feeling? Judging by the way you’ve come to your senses, it looks like you’ve improved quite a bit.”
“Of course. I woke up the day before yesterday and can now eat without difficulty.”
“Can you use magic?”
“Of course.”
Reynold extended his finger to Siron, who was a few years younger than me, with a respectful gesture.
Grumbling-
A flame bloomed from the tip of my finger, but it was a little different from the usual one. Unlike typical flame magic that burns red, the color of the flame was changing in real time at Reynol’s fingertips.
“How do you feel? Do you look okay?”
“…That’s okay.”
Although the answer was cold, Seira had pure admiration for Reynold’s skills. Looking at it from the corner of my eye, I saw that it was a mixture of fire and alchemy magic. The patient, who had just woken up from his hospital bed, performed two magic spells on the spot without even chanting, and the young human named Seira was evaluated as having achieved a great achievement.
“How are you feeling, Dexter?”
“He has moved to the temple and is receiving treatment.”
Even if no one said anything, the cardinal took the initiative to answer.
“You mean the temple? Why?”
“After the miracle occurred. It is a suitable place to pray every day in gratitude for the warrior’s grace. Why would you call me here?”
“What? Hero?”
“You realized it without me having to say it.”
Devialet smiled kindly at Siron, who was startled.
“Extraordinary divine power, the relief shown right after he said he would step forward, and the son who woke up. And a strong relationship with Lucerne. Even if he is not a hero, there is no way he could not notice that Brother Siron is an extraordinary person, right?”
“hmm…”
“Sir Dexter is a wise man, so you don’t have to worry about revealing the hero’s identity.”
“…Lord Dexter can be trusted.”
Shiron, with his arms crossed, looked intently at Reynol, whose eyes were shining from earlier.
“Reynold Dras.”
“Yes, yes!”
“But not you.”
“Is that so? If that is what the hero means.”
“…yes?”
Reynold opened his eyes wide and looked around. With one word from Siron, the warm atmosphere that had filled the room suddenly changed.
The cardinal, who had been smiling benevolently just a moment ago, also wiped the smile off his face, and the nun waiting next to Siron took out a cane from her bosom.
“Seira, let’s erase this bastard’s memory.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Wait a minute! You’re erasing my memory, what?!”
Reynold instinctively deployed defensive magic in response to the hostile attack. Dozens of layers of protection were spread between him and Siron, and a large amount of mana was sucked out of his Danjeon, causing him to feel a slight sense of dizziness.
however,
Dozens of layers of protection were broken in vain with a single gesture. Seira completely subdued Reynold with a few flicks of her staff in the air.
“Why, why are you doing that!”
“It’s not because you have a heart, don’t be too resentful.”
“The warrior said so. It’s all God’s will, so please accept it.”
“No, no! I need to hear the reason. Why are you doing this to me!”
“Do it quickly.”
“From where to where do I erase?”
“The fact that I’m a hero and everything related to apostles.”
Wow-
When Shiron’s order was given, Seira struck with her staff.
“Huh, this time, one thing is solved.”
Seira wasn’t enough to see that Reynold was drooping after being hit on the head, so she used various magic to secure him.
Siron bowed his head to the cardinal with his hands joined together.
“Cardinal, I’m sorry for causing a commotion. It involved an apostle, so we had to handle it carefully.”
“No, if it is the warrior’s will. This is also God’s will. If necessary, you can erase my memories as much as you want.”
“…the Cardinal is a good person as expected. I’m fortunate that he’s the ‘only’ person who knows that I’m a warrior.”
“Hero…”
Devialet, whose heart was filled with joy under Siron’s admiration, felt his tear ducts becoming moist.
I wasn’t against the idea of erasing Reynold’s memories, but I had some dirty and dirty suspicions, but now I’m okay with it.
At the moment when he was ruminating on such emotion, Siron suddenly stood up from his chair.
“Then I will excuse myself.”
“Why don’t you at least have a cup of tea?”
“I’d like to do that too, but I’m mentally and physically tired today.”
“…Unfortunately, I guess I’ll have to postpone it until later.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll see you again soon when I have some free time.”
Siron bowed to Devialet once again and left the hospital.
There was a carriage waiting in front of the main gate. Siron trudged over and let out a sigh of relief as soon as he boarded the carriage.
Seira looked at the limp Shiron with worried eyes.
“What are you going to do now?”
“What should I do? I have to finish my magic training.”
“But, you’re my only younger sister. If you’re my older brother, I should follow you.”
“…That’s okay. I wrote that I’d be back soon. I’m not the type of person to break a promise, so you’ll have to wait.”
“Kids these days really don’t understand?”
In a rare occurrence, Seira spoke to Siron with anger.
“How old are you? Does it make sense to leave without even showing your face to find yourself?”
