35 – Relationships
My immersion slowly broke and when I came to my senses, Pushchel was lying in front of me.
“……Good job.”
The knight who served as referee came up and put his hand on my shoulder.
The Imperial Academy swordsmanship professor and sword master knight was smiling at me.
With an expression full of pride and memories, as if reminiscing about the moment he reached his sword master.
“Rest.”
At the end of the knight’s words, the mind that had been overworked and pushed to the limit flickered out.

Like the authority of aristocrats, social gatherings were being held under high ceilings and chandeliers made of jewels.
The atmosphere of the social church was generally good, where tricks and tricks were rampant to steal even the men who were not to Irelle’s taste or whom Irelle once ate and threw away.
It was a problem because it was so good.
After Irelle appeared in the social world, the atmosphere in the social church was bloody because Irelle monopolized all handsome men.
Since one of the most handsome men in the empire had no choice but to do so.
Handsome men liked Irelle as if possessed, but women did not.
Among them, there were ‘imperial larks’ who spread rumors in the social world, and there were young ladies who looked at Irelle, who monopolized handsome men, with disapproving faces.
‘Am I talking about Robert for you to hear?’
As usual, you can use the wind spirit to cover his ears, but Irrell was curious about the story about Robert.
Irelle, who was sitting in the front row of the social church, controlled her facial muscles with superhuman strength and overheard the conversations of the young ladies.
“Did you hear about the hero Robert recently?”
“I don’t know much about him except that he’s a warrior who broke off his marriage with someone.”
“I only knew that, too. When I looked into it personally, it turned out to be amazing.”
“Really?”
“People who know Robert have been complimenting him. He has a good family and good manners, he is recognized by the Order as a hero, and he even became a sword master this time around.”
“Your face is also very handsome. Why did you break up with someone like that?”
“The woman said they broke up the engagement, but in fact it could be the other way around.”
“Rumors say he’s usually promiscuous.
“I heard this rumor from a young lady I know. She broke off her engagement after having s*x with dozens of people in her fiancé’s room!”
“Oh my God… That’s hideous. It’s not even a beast. That’s enough to make me fall in love with Robert.”
The young lady’s voice grew louder and louder. And laughter erupted from all over the social world as if they had heard these stories.
‘Has Robert fallen out of love? I’m not sure if I’ve lost my temper. I’m the one who turned down Robert, who came to visit me every day, asking me to meet him only once until the day I left the mansion.’
‘And it wasn’t even dozens, but five.’
Ir El’s hands and feet trembled little by little with anger rising from the unfair rumors.
There was also helpful information for Irelle, who had been listening silently.
‘I’ve been wondering since I heard rumors that Robert was a hero. He was officially recognized as a hero by the Order?’
‘Robert had almost no weight in the comics, but he’s a hero. Did I change because my existence influenced me?’
‘When I think about it, the kindness and consideration and the way he saved me were all very different from Robert in the comics.’
‘Going to the dungeon where demons live in order to recover the power of the holy sword, surely the pink-haired woman I saw before wouldn’t be going with me, right?’
‘To come to a social church to collect donations. That’s an excuse and he’s coming because he wants to see me. That’s kind of cute.’
‘When I talk to you, I have to bounce it off and then accept it.’
Irelle smirked inwardly at the thought of taking Robert, who was at a loss, and educating the young ladies who were talking behind their backs.
Time flew by like an arrow.
After the dessert time was over, the hero Robert, who had come to receive the patronage of nobles, stepped into the social church.
“Kyaa!”
“Ohhh!”
From noble mtl dot com.
Exclamations of admiration erupted from the audience.
A hero who looked like he lacked nothing went up to the podium in the center.
In order to defeat the demons, various expensive magic tools and potions are needed, so the noble ladies responded enthusiastically to the speech that regular support was needed.
Almost an hour had passed, and Robert’s speech was over.
It was an impeccable speech, true to his reputation as a warrior.
After coming down from the podium, Robert greeted the young ladies who were supposed to sponsor him.
After greeting the young ladies, Robert approached Irelle and greeted him.
“Yirel. It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Yeah. How are you?”
Even without sponsorship, Robert came up to Irelle and said hello.
‘That’s right.’
Looking around, I saw the faces of the young ladies watching the situation.
After blowing a laugh at the young ladies who were talking behind their backs, she looked at Robert with a haughty expression.
“Irelle, if time permits, can we talk separately for a moment? I want to clear up the misunderstanding that occurred on your birthday.”
“You don’t like it?”
“Yes.”
‘Huh?’
Seeing Robert walking back with a bitter smile, Irelle was taken aback.
‘Just because you were rejected once?’
Irrell, who tried to accept moderately after showing Robert who clung even if he was rejected once or twice to the ladies of the social church to show who had the upper hand, was taken aback.
‘When I was at the mansion, no matter how much I rejected you, you came to visit me every day. Now, just because I rejected you once, did you just give up and leave?’
The muscles in her face, forced to maintain a haughty look, trembled precariously over the purple color of her nearly bottomed wine glass.

After winning the Imperial Swordsmanship Tournament, I was embarrassed because the holy sword fell asleep.
In the process of becoming a sword master, I felt the power of the holy sword affecting me and went to the church to awaken the unreasonable holy sword for me.
“Hmm.. I think Holy Sword will wake up in about a year.”
The saint inspected the holy sword in an upright posture.
“Is it a year?”
“Yes, but there are ways to shorten that period.”
“What is it?”
“The dungeon core can be shortened each time it is destroyed.”
“The Holy Sword absorbs the nuclear demonic energy.”
“Yes.”
Since he had to destroy the dungeons as a hero anyway, Robert immediately prepared to destroy the dungeons.
While coming to the church, I borrowed a sacred object and bought a large quantity of holy water.
I set a date to head to the dungeon with the warrior party members and asked them to prepare the items.
And finally, he attacked the cult.
The name is a fund support association for dungeon exploration, but in fact, the money was enough to support the church.
The social church is where I go to somehow improve my relationship with Irrel.
In the journey to fight the demon king, the crisis will come again due to the wall of my talent.
In such a crisis, the holy sword could have been sacrificed again, and one of the party members could die or the warrior party could be wiped out.
I needed talent to protect my surroundings.
On the morning of the day I went to a social church, I dressed up in flowers.
Wearing clothes tailored to the most famous tailor in the empire. Five ladies-in-waiting were attached for auxiliary makeup and hair care.
Listening to the ladies-in-waiting’s compliments on my appearance, I moved toward the social church.
I came to the social church because I was desperate for talent, but I was afraid.
“It wouldn’t be the wrong choice for me to go now…”
I was worried because I didn’t know how my actions would appear to Irelle.
When a man Irrel had a crush on approached, it was romance.
However, if a man Irelle hates approaches, that is the subject of punishment.
Because the power of the goddess still remained in Irrell, it was difficult for her to become the target of punishment. This is because you can become the object of a curse like your previous life.
“Kyaa!”
After clearing my mind and entering the social church, I heard voices of admiration for me.
As I went up to the podium in the center, I glanced at Irelle. In this place, only Irelle looked at me with a bored expression as if she wasn’t interested.
‘Now I’ve completely lost my feelings.’
I forced myself to begin my speech.
Speaking of speeches, I was confident because I often saw them when I was under the 7th Prince, Ersen.
About an hour later, I came down from the podium and thanked the young ladies who had decided to sponsor me.
While saying thanks to the young ladies, Irelle didn’t even glance at me.
And even though Iriel was not on the list of sponsors I received, I approached him.
As I turned to Irrel, a strange air enveloped me.
Everyone who was talking in groups stopped and looked at me with interest.
‘It would be interesting for the ex-fiancé to approach, besides, this is a social church.’
My footsteps stopped in front of Irelle, the most beautiful woman on the continent.
Seeing Irelle with an annoyed look on her face, it seemed as if the result was already expected.
Without talent, people around me could get hurt more, so I mustered up the courage and forced myself to keep my mouth shut.
