(EP.148) Aspect #1
148 – New Aspect #1
after.
Take a breather before opening the door.
profit.
Opening the door, Mirna, wearing a cardigan over her school uniform, was standing there.
“Mirna, what are you doing here?”
I pretended not to know anything. I thought I could understand why Mirna had come to my room at this late hour.
All I care about was the closet behind me.
The wardrobe where Elgar hid.
“Can I go inside?”
Mirna took off the cardigan she was wearing and handed it to me.
It sounds like you want it to hang on a nearby hanger. I’m asking if I can go in, but it seems like my actions are already full of thoughts of coming in.
In this situation, no, no. If I said that, it seemed that Mirna would raise some suspicions. As if she felt my hesitation, Mirna added a few more words.
“I know it’s late. But I will only share a few short words.”
“Then come in.”
“Excuse me.”
I move my shoulder and Mirna enters the room.
The dimly lit room is designed as if you were just about to go to sleep. Mirna Draco looks around to see if she likes the cozy atmosphere.
“It’s the first time I’ve entered a man’s room.”
“Really?”
As far as I know, I think I came into my room a while ago and found the elf professor Stella’s stockings.
Memories like the black history of that time must have been completely erased from Mirna’s mind.
Mirna said bluntly whether she had read my thoughts like that.
“Of course, I’m talking about officially entering this way after being invited.”
“okay.”
“It’s a different feeling than when I saw it during the day. The feeling is different from what I thought. It’s been cleaned well, so it smells good-.”
Mirna’s impressions of my room are generally positive.
I’m glad I turned on the incense candle.
I can’t smell Elgar’s perfume anymore.
Shrek.
Mirna sat down on the bed.
I opened the refrigerator and tried to give you a glass of water, but when I realized that there was Elgar filled with beer, I stopped.
If Mirna said, “You don’t drink, don’t you? What is this?” If you ask, it will be difficult to give an answer.
“It’s too late, so there’s nothing I can give you. I’m sorry, Miss Mirna.”
“it’s okay. I have something to talk about anyway, so I’ll go after that. So, Teo Gospel, I’m sorry to take your time, so I’m going to ask you straight up.”
“Yes, lady.”
“What do you think about what happened before today?”
“… Well, what exactly do you mean by what do you think?”
“I’m asking about the trivial provocation of the young Lioness. Now come and try to intervene between the two of us. Do you have any idea what the plot is?”
At Mirna’s question, I was very concerned about the gap in the closet door that was slightly opened.
It was fortunate that the room was dark, but it was clear that blue eyes were coming out from inside that black darkness and staring at Mirna.
Elgar is watching us like a wild beast that hid itself in the bushes.
Thanks to you, I had no choice but to be careful with my answer.
“It’s something I don’t even know. Why did this story suddenly come up? .”
“Is that real?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it sounds like it is the dogma of Lioness Youngae, who is also reckless and reckless. I knew that. They must be attacking the Draco family.”
“The Draco family?”
“Tae Gospel, maybe it’s an excuse for you. The maiden of Lioness, who does not know how high in the sky and has no shame in common sense, is aiming for you, a slave. It makes no sense.”
“that… .”
If you think about it from Mirna’s point of view, it’s true.
If I had grown up as a daughter of a large family from a young age, I would like to meet the prince, and I would not have had any interest in the half-elf who was a slave downstairs.
“That makes a lot of sense to Mirna-sama.”
“However, Teo Gospel is a different story if you are Mirna Draco’s fiance. That naughty girl must have just wanted to provoke me by taking what I had.”
“Well… . okay.”
As I listened to Mirna’s story, I placed a similar interest in the closet behind my back. Mirna will never know that Elgar is listening to this.
If Mirna brings out more bad stories about Elgar, their relationship may deteriorate to the worst.
I figured I’d have to do something about this situation before things got worse between the two of us.
However, if we talk outside, Elgar hiding in the closet may come out and threaten me with “What did you say outside?”
what can’t be good
Mirna asked while diligently rolling her head.
“Tao Gospel, so what do you think about Lioness Young-ae?”
“About Elgar?”
Shrek.
Then I heard the sound of something moving in the closet. Of course it will be Elga.
I had a gut feeling that something had caught my eye.
Mirna in front of me and Elgar behind me.
I was sandwiched between a giant dragon and a lion, and I was a dog squirrel being bitten by the females.
While giving the answer that Mirna likes, she has to give an answer that will satisfy Elgar at the same time.
“Even though Elgar-sama has a side that makes it seem like an innocent person, there’s a side of it that is selfish and violent enough to be uncontrollable. In addition… .”
Looking at Mirna’s expression for a moment, she seemed quite satisfied. However, there seemed to be dissatisfaction in the stinging gaze in the closet at the back.
“Still, you are deep inside yourself. You are also attractive as a woman.”
slurp.
The gaze on the back of my neck seems to have softened a bit.
However, Mirna in front of her frowned as if she didn’t like my answer very much.
“How could such a wild horse-like girl have the charm of a woman? I can’t understand it. That Mirna and Lioness. If you look at the two of them, of course they will choose me, right?”
“That is-.”
Since it’s in front of Mirna, should I nod my head?
I hesitated for a moment.
It seems that the momentary hesitation did not like Mirna very much.
Because Mirna, who doesn’t know anything, thinks that there is no reason for me to hesitate.
“Why can’t you tell the truth? Why are you hesitating? Please, Tae-oh gospel, you. You’re not thinking such nonsense as to choose Lioness Young-ae, are you?”
Mirna jumped up from her seat.
Then he glanced at my forehead with his hand, and it looked like he was trying to make sure that I had some kind of fever and couldn’t have a proper accident.
“There is no fever. Then why did you hesitate to answer? I bet you haven’t weighed Mirna and the Lioness girl, have you?”
Mirna looked very anxious.
After all, this was more than just a matter of love, 300,000 gold – because it was like a huge war with the rise and fall of the family.
As long as I had that option, Mirna couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. It may be being pictured in Mirna’s mind right now.
Imagine choosing Elgar over myself.
“Think about it, Tae Oh Gospel. Lioness is the woman who made you a slave. You’re the one who created those terrible scars on your eyes.”
Shin-wook-shin.
At Mirna’s words, the scar on my right eye started to throb unusually. It’s usually nothing, but once you become conscious of it, this scar stings strangely.
Startle.
At the same time, I could feel the presence of someone in the closet trembling slightly. For Elgar, this scar is a symbol of guilt.
But Mirna, who was not aware of such a thing, continued to speak.
“Imagine you are marrying a young Lioness who has no affection for you. Your marriage will come to an end. I’m sure I’ll be a persecuted husband!”
Mirna was like a seasoned salesperson gossiping about a competitor’s product. Actually, the role Mirna was playing was no different from that.
It must be the intention of lowering the opponent and elevating himself.
And it worked out pretty well.
Because in my head, I was living as a husband who was tortured by Elgar. that’s a bit… It was time to make up my mind.
-Crumb, crumble.
Something made a loud noise in the closet.
Mirna Draco stops talking while trying to say something to him.
“What are you talking about?”
“ah. What does this mean… .”
I hurriedly turned my head. Then I saw a small glass tube lying on a table near the closet. There was a dog squirrel Kungkong, spinning a chat wheel.
“It’s a buzzing sound. This is my dog squirrel. The sound of us having a conversation wakes me up and seems to move.”
“Dog squirrel? Come to think of it, I remember you said you had pets. Can you show me?”
“sure.”
I showed Mirna the squirrel in the glass cabinet. The dog squirrel that I have raised, Kung Keng Keng, just spins the chat wheel hard, regardless of who sees it.
━KongKong-!
“Cute. This is the first time I’ve seen a living squirrel so close. I heard that it is a creature that doesn’t follow people well.”
Mirna’s words reminded me of the time I had had a conversation with Aira earlier. Aira also looked at the dog squirrel and said that it is a creature that doesn’t follow people well.
I don’t even know how I’m raising this guy.
Just give him food and he will take care of it and eat it in moderation. Occasionally, he walks out of the glass box and comes in on its own.
ㅡ kkkkeng.
After a small barking, the dog squirrel Kengkeong stretched out its front paws or hind legs once at a time and yawned loudly.
Usually, it is easy to think that rats are nocturnal, but dog squirrels are active in the morning and during the day, so they sleep at night.
The guy quickly picked up sawdust on the floor, dug a hole and fell asleep. Mirna saw it and said.
“It would not be polite for this child to be noisy while sleeping. Tao Gospel. That’s 300,000 gold. So, I want you to think carefully about which choice is the right one.”
With that, Mirna and I ended our conversation.
After she left the room and long enough to no longer feel her presence, the closet opens.
Elgar tilted her head slightly and asked me.
“Hey, did you go?”
“Looks like you are gone.”
I glanced at Elgar’s expression quickly. It was because we didn’t know what kind of reaction Elgar would react to hearing our story in the closet.
However, Elgar’s expression seemed quite calm. I’m not angry, and I’m not happy either.
Then Elgar yawns with her mouth wide open. At first glance, the fangs reflected in the lantern look pretty sharp, so it’s creepy.
“I’m going to go to sleep now. It looks like I will be busy from tomorrow.”
Elgar left my room as if she had nothing to say.
The room they all left was light like a boat with a heavy load off it, and it seems to be unusually quiet because it’s sleazy.
A lot of different things happened today.
If there is one thing that is certain, is it that many things will probably enter a new phase from tomorrow?
Elgar and Mirna will oppress each other and do anything to get me chosen.
This is how it happened.
I have no choice but to make the most of what has happened.
That’s it.
I decided to lie down on the bed first.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
Because I had a lot of things to do with Aira.
