(EP.101)Eye #2
101 – Piercing Eyes #2
“Tao Gospel.”
Someone spoke to me from behind as I was wasting my way through the park to go back to my room.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
There is only one owner of this gentle yet arrogant voice. Mirna Draco will follow me and talk to me.
I turned my head to see Mirna Draco walking in the sun with a black parasol slowly approaching me.
The contrast between the silver hair fluttering under the shade of the sunshade and the red eyes that shimmered eeriely in comparison with it, feels quite surreal.
“Why do you look at people with such startled eyes?”
“ah-.”
Still, her beauty was so amazing that just looking at each other made my heart pound without realizing it. Of course, this thump is not just because of Mirna’s beauty.
“Miss Mirna. I was on my way back to my dorm. Do you have anything to say to me?”
I calmed my heart and bowed my head slightly to greet Mirna Draco. Then Mirna Draco pointed at me and held out the handle of the parasol.
“I walk a little. I have a story to tell.”
“All right.”
I grabbed the parasol from Mirna.
Then he started walking in this park, and Mirna was just walking while he said he had a story to tell.
But to say something about the last time we kissed arbitrarily?
Thanks to this, couples playing a ball game similar to badminton in the park, or couples sitting in the shade of a tree sharing a lunch box, came to me like a striking landscape.
“There are a lot of lovers.”
Mirna Draco, who was looking at them, spoke softly like a passing wind. Of course, my sensitive fairy ears weren’t insensitive enough to miss it.
“The weather is nice, so it looks like everyone is outside.”
“If other people see it, will we look like that too?”
I thought for a moment at Mirna’s question.
Do other people see us as lovers?
Of course, there are people who see it that way, but no matter how you look at her now, she is a young lady and a servant. However, while I was choosing the words, I thought that Mirna would get angry if I said that.
“No matter how you look at it, you will only look like a noble lady and a servant.”
As if Mirna was reading my head, she put what I was thinking and put it on her lips. Mirna added a few words to what I was admiring for a moment.
“Tae Oh Gospel, it’s because you still lack the skills and dignity to stand next to me.”
“that… .”
That’s right.
Mirna, Elgar, and Aira exude an aura that says they are great even if they pretend to be.
Born under the blessings of everyone, from a very young age, an aristocrat who grew up wearing good things, eating good things, and looking only at good things.
A kind of thoroughbread made solely for the purpose of standing on top of other people’s heads.

Confidence close to arrogance and an old-fashioned attitude stood in every move, every step, and at the very least, every fingertip.
Perhaps even wearing rags will not hide the nobility they have built up.
How about me compared to that?
I think maybe I’m a cowardly little bae in the eyes of others.
It is far from noble or noble.
In the first place, I grew up in an orphanage in the 21st century, far from being aristocrats, kings, or commoners.
Even if I sit on the throne wearing a fancy crown now, it will only look like an amateur playing.
Of course, such an affair was an extremely useful camouflage for me now.
If I had the elegance that appealed to me that I was a descendant of a royal family, even if I pretended to, there might have been people at the previous table who were suspicious of me.
Mirna Draco said while I was running such an accident.
“But being human is not all about origin. It is the beauty of life and the will of the Creator to constantly strive to ascend upward in a given environment. In that sense, Tae Oh Gospel. Your willingness to break free from the limits of commoners is a good thing.”
“thank you.”
I didn’t really want to go beyond the limits of the common people.
In fact, I struggle only to survive. Breaking out of the promised dead-end.
“But it is also true that you lack nobility. Noble and old-fashioned way comes from confidence. And confidence comes from skill.”
What does Mirna want to say to me?
Without my reasoning, Mirna soon came to a conclusion.
“Tao Gospel. I want to give you a chance to hone your skills. Because you have a talent for magic. I think that if you enter the magic cave run by the Draco family, your skills will increase dramatically.”
“Magul?”
Just hearing the name makes me feel like I don’t want to go inside. Mirna’s next explanation made me squirm.
“It’s a place no one has ever brought in, but I’m going to put you in there. Just say thank you.”
“That, thank you.”
When I reluctantly expressed my gratitude, Mirna spoke softly, as if very satisfied.
“When you enter and exit there, your magic hierarchy will rise by more than one rank depending on your efforts.”
“Is that real?”
Magical skill rises by one rank?
I heard that it takes 10 years to get from the 3rd to the 4th rank.
But how can it be shortened by simply entering and exiting a place called Magul? Is that realistically possible?
It’s just the Draco family, famous for their black magic and necromancy.
Even if there was such a strange training place, there was nothing strange at all.
“Then we’ll see you again this weekend.”
Shh.
Mirna Draco took the parasol from me. Now that the story is over, that means I’m going to go.
As I was looking at her narrow back as she was getting farther and farther away, she turned around and warned me with a stern word with an angry look on her face.
“And, the romance of a Gwangyeom Christian is a law that should be reverent. I won’t allow you to touch my body until the wedding.”
At that time, he must have been angry with the kiss.
* * *
That evening when I finished reporting to Aira. I had to sit still in the dormitory, so I went outside and walked through the park.
I had a lot of things to organize in my head, so I decided to take a walk while enjoying the evening breeze.
– Wiieng.
However, the mosquitoes were very sticky, so it was a bit annoying. Is there any magic spell to keep mosquitoes away? If it were a demon lord, there must be such a spell.
“hey. Where are you going?”
Then someone sitting on the bench spoke to me. It was Elgar when I saw she was wearing sweatpants.
“Mr. Elgar.”
“Where are you going at this late hour? Are you going to make a harem?”
“… … .”
Last time I confessed that I was going to make a harem, but I was really upset. I asked Elgar, pretending to be okay.
“Well, Elgar-sama, what’s going on here in the park?”
“I was waiting for you to come out. So, what did you talk to Mirna with that girl before? As soon as you left, I followed you. Haven’t you two talked about anything?”
Elgar acted like a strict lover trying to crack down on her boyfriend. I don’t like talking to Mirna.
“We didn’t talk much. They just said they would take me to a place called Magul.”
When I told the truth lightly, Elgar asked, as if she was really startled.
“hell? If it’s a magic cave, isn’t it a ghost cave? You said you’d let me in there?”
“Do you know what it is?”
“I heard it was a training ground for the Draco family. It’s a strictly secret place. Will you let me in there? Mirna Draco That guy. It looks like it’s going to be big.”
Looking at Elgar’s reaction, it was clear that Mirna Draco’s favor was quite large. I’m also glad I didn’t say no. With that thought in mind, I sat down next to Elgar.
“… … .”
“… … .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Neither Elgar nor Elgar said anything.
Slightly awkward air.
―Buu-woong, boo-woong-.
Under the glowstone street lamp, big moths like Tinkerbell are flying around like crazy. I was the first to open my mouth amid the boredom and impatience that reminded me of the old days of border work.
“He kept it a secret. The things I told Elgar.”
“huh.”
“You’re giving me a title to help me, aren’t you? To help revive the family.”
“… … .”
Elgar turned her head away from me with a very dissatisfied expression on her face. I thought that she would stop talking again for a moment, but she muttered a little reluctantly.
“Make yourself stronger than me.”
“… … ?”
“Be stronger than me, and climb higher than anyone else. I’m going to become a man so great that I think I can’t handle a man like you alone.”
“He is a great man… .”
“However, the male lions that fail to do so will not be able to protect the herd and will only die horribly. So, try your best to live and die somewhere.”
I could see that this was a kind of permission in Elgar’s own way.
You’re telling me to become a man big enough to speak harem proudly.
And if that didn’t happen, there was also a threat that Elgar would bury me with her own hands.
Shh.
After Elgar said those words, she took her hips off the bench and ran Pababat. Looking at her back, I was able to relax a little bit of the tension that had just been on my body.
“I allow this.”
Is it because you have big breasts? Elgar also has a broad heart. If I ever make a harem, of course I should give Elgar the first place.
Anyway, it was great that both Mirna and Elgar tried to help me.
If I become stronger and better with their help, Ira, who doesn’t know what to think, will be able to attack as well.
To be honest, I still don’t know what Ira is really thinking. Earlier, when I reasoned about the descendants of Angmar, I was really thrilled.
What kind of expression will Aira make when she finds out who I am?
When I find out that all the stories I’ve been told are lies, I may turn into a ghost and try to strangle myself.
I was destined to become strong to subdue such Aira.
“Is it a Magul?”
I don’t know what might be lurking there, but I think it’s good to go inside to see what’s there.
So, let’s spend time listening to lectures and practicing-.
The weekend came quickly.
I was guided by Mirna Draco to the Magul, which was located in the basement of the Draco family’s mansion.
“You mean there is a magul in the basement of the mansion?”
“The villa itself is like a kind of lid that covers the dungeon.”
According to Mirna’s explanation, the reason the villa was built here in the first place was to seal the dungeon called ‘Magul’.
bum bum, bum bum.
The basement was deeper than I thought, so I wondered if I would have descended about the 5th floor. I could feel the chill in my body as if it was a lie that the sun was shining down on the ground.
To be more precise, it was more like a kind of ominous magic rather than a chill.
Would it be better to say I’m going back even now – when I’m thinking like that. I was standing in front of a huge iron gate so that I could barely see the end by raising my head.
And on top of it, something like a nameplate was scrawled in a nice handwriting.
“Those who enter here, give up all hope now.”
“What does that mean? Will you give up hope?”
Mirna Draco shrugged when I asked.
“Solomon’s warning.”
Solomon’s warning. The story became a bluish breath from his lips, and it was disturbed. Without having to ask what that meant, Mirna kindly added an explanation.
“Actually, this mansion is the villa of the former king Solomon.”
