(EP.273)Confession #1
273 – Reconciliation and Confession #1
A hot summer followed.
However, no matter how bad the sun is, incidents happen and there are many things that need to be dealt with.
-Did you hear that? Some time ago, Sir Tae-oh and Prince Reinhardt had a big fight once at the dance hall.
– Wasn’t that just a rumor? I saw today that both of them went to work and talked well.
-I heard you went hunting together yesterday?
When I listened closely, I could hear the voices of the maids talking in the court vividly. I’ve overheard this story countless times over the past few days, so I don’t feel it anymore.
“So, this time, with the amount collected by the Belhawk family, we will decide to proceed with the Secret Service to be held in the Northern Territory this time. The decision of the business that will be in charge of the event will be made later.”
After the court meeting in the afternoon.
When I was about to go out of the meeting room by simply synthesizing opinions and saving a seat. Someone grabbed my shoulder.
“Sir Tae-oh, I heard the story well. You did a great job with the untitled cost issue.”
A large figure soaring high into the sky in a large palm. And the thick bass and the gaze like a beast. He is Prime Minister Reinhardt, who can be said to be the second-in-command of this court.
“… Reinhardt Ball.”
“If there is time, I would like to have lunch together. How is it?”
“… Well.”
“I made a reservation at the court, so let’s go there.”
The man’s hand pushed my shoulder, and I had no choice but to go to the restaurant he had reserved. Seeing us walking side by side like that, the gossip grows louder.
– Do you think you two are getting along well?
– Didn’t you say you had a fight?
it will look like that
On the surface, Reinhardt and I tended to get along well after the fight. The problem was that I was starting to feel a little burdened because I wasn’t so flawless.
“Every day I eat lunch here. How about a drink? I heard that they offered half a car starting this afternoon. I have no work, so I can drink.”
“… Well, you know, I don’t drink alcohol.”
“okay? This can be happen. Rather, I heard that you were on vacation this weekend. At the same time, I also have an empty schedule for this weekend.”
“… Well, that’s right.”
“Last time I saw it, it seems that he handled the falcons well while hunting. You must have used some kind of magic to control the hawks?”
“I just caught a few rabbits.”
“I caught four. One of them was a horned rabbit about 1 meter tall. He’s usually invisible because he hides in his burrows, but he caught a dragon.”
“Well, the hawks suffered more than me.”
yesterday.
Reinhardt encouraged me to hunt, so I traveled with him through the forests that belonged to the Lioness.
At first, I thought, ‘You’re not trying to shoot me as an excuse to hunt.’ There should be more people who were assassinated on the pretext that they fell off a horse while hunting, or died from a misfired arrow.
Surprisingly, however, the hunting proceeded normally, and I was able to catch several rabbits by training raptors using ‘bird taming magic’.
Reinhardt seems to have noticed that.
Reinhardt chuckled.
“This time, we confiscated a few goshawks from the Belhawk family lab. So, in order to get them to fly and show off their skills, I’m thinking of going falcon hunting in the forest I own nearby.”
Are you telling me to go hunting again this weekend?
For a moment, I wondered if something was up. It was concluded that Reinhardt was inviting me to falconry out of sheer favour.
The people of the Lioness family are straightforward and fiery in nature, but once the problem is solved, they will no longer question it or gossip about it.
Is it the weekend?
Hunting was fun. It was also tasteful to eat the rabbits I caught myself.
“Well… .”
Well, I didn’t really have a set plan.
After I pondered for a moment, Reinhardt said with a subtle feeling.
“If Sir Tae-oh and I have to show that I’m doing well, people will no longer notice us, right?”
“It is.”
With that feeling, while I was sleeping, someone appeared in the dining room and took the chair next to me. Then he says a word to Reinhardt.
“Tae-oh has an appointment with me this weekend. I can’t hunt.”
She was Elgar, the young Lioness in a red robe. Looking at the red medals hanging on their shoulders, it seems that the award ceremony that just took place went well.
I decided to say hello to her first.
“Elgar-sama, this time you won a medal. Congratulations.”
“Ah oh.”
Elgar received a medal this morning from Aira at the royal castle. Of course, the reason is that he made a big contribution to stopping the secret experiments and frenzy that took place in the Belhawk family.
It was a bit disappointing that Elgar, who was actually the party, was not very fond of it. By the way, my sister and I, Draco, each received their own prize money in recognition of their respective merits.
And in my case, I got a pretty big reward of two days off.
During the reward vacation, Reinhardt was recommending hunting.
“Do you have any plans for the weekend?”
As Reinhardt frowned, Elgar said, “Just, uh, there. Anyway. I know that because I can’t hunt on the weekend,” he said as if nailing a nail.
I was a little embarrassed when I was caught between a woman and a woman. So I just sip the water.
* * *
“Then, Sir Tae-oh, think carefully.”
After eating, I parted with Reinhardt. Even during the breakup, he was encouraging falconry.
If there’s one thing I’ve felt while spending time with him, it’s that Reinhardt likes hunting more than he thought.
“I heard you two fought, when did you become close enough to go hunting together?”
When Reinhardt became invisible, Elgar asked me. I just shrug my shoulders.
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know what you two did, but I think Daddy liked you.”
“Is that so?”
“Now, whenever it’s a holiday, I’ll ask you to go hunting together. Because Richard is still young and he hates hunting.”
“okay.”
It’s a little ambiguous to be invited to go hunting on every holiday that you’re going to have a hard time getting. At least it’s better than being hated.
Hunting, well, it’s fun.
Any man will instinctively feel an interest in hunting.
The same goes for the anti-fairy Tae-oh Gospel, who has little fighting spirit.
“… So, are you really going to do it?”
Then Elgar spoke to me in a low voice.
“Are you hunting? Would you like to go with me?”
“No, Mirna Draco, you decided to tell that girl the truth. Are you really going to say that?”
“ah.”
It was then that I realized what Elgar was trying to say.
“Yeah, of course I should.”
Elgar glanced around at my gracious answer. She spoke softly only after she realized that the people at this restaurant were doing something different.
“However, the situation has only stabilized now. Aren’t you saying you’re going to pour oil over there again? If Mirna finds out about it, she’ll definitely run around, right?”
That’s right.
A lot of great things have happened over the past few days. From Queen Aira’s return to the kingdom, to the purge of the Opal Belhawk, and the nymph fever corona riot… .
It’s about time I’m just starting to get a little quieter. If we declare a bomb on Mirna, there will definitely be another big problem.
Because Mirna is both an individual and a group called the Draco family, so even if she goes wild alone, the aftermath is enormous.
“But, it’s better than hiding it and finding out later. What if Miss Mirna, like Elgar-sama, captures me with a noose and tries to extract the mana circuit?”
“hey… ! that, that… ! I said I’m sorry… .”
Elgar’s voice, which was about to scream, grew smaller and smaller.
Maybe it’s because he’s reflecting on how big of a mistake he’s made. And it was all because I was shielding information.
So, rather than causing a bigger problem, I decided to openly reveal myself like a man and make a head-to-head breakthrough.
Should it be said that the fairy Tae-oh, the macho Tae-oh beyond Geum Tae-oh, and Matthew’s persona have arisen within me? If it’s a man, he’ll break through head-on without having to measure this or that.
“Hey, are you going to tell Aira the truth then?”
“For now, it’s a bit… .”
The macho Tae-oh inside me gets smaller.
It is because I become infinitely dwarfed by standing in front of Aira. It was like instinct. The instinct that I still have to curl up my claws a little more.
As if reading my depression, Elgar sighed.
“Hey, how are you going to carry out the plan with that? At first, Ira, she had a bit of a taste. I’ve been a little sane these days, though. How are you going to seduce Ira?”
“Yeah… .”
“Aren’t you going to participate in the Bi-muje?”
At Elgar’s question, I thought of the untitled festival to be held in a while. A contest to determine the Queen’s national anthem. I am not qualified to participate, so I may participate.
“That would be one way.”
“But can you beat Aira?”
“That is the problem.”

No matter how much my skills were improving, it seemed that it would take some time to catch up with Aira. Because as much as I was growing up, Aira was also growing.
said Elgar.
“It’s just a word I hear, but did you hear that Aira is slowly entering the 8th rank?”
“It’s terrible.”
According to the Ark Mountain Sage Society, there is a greater difference between the 6th and 7th orders than between the 1st and 5th orders.
That’s why he’s no match for Aira, a 7th rank Archmage, Pelto, a 6th rank black wizard. If so, how big is the gap between the 7th and 8th ranks?
I have to diligently complete daily quests to improve my skills.
“Anyway, I’m going to have a conversation with Mirna this weekend. Let Elgar know that too. Please accompany me.”
“huh.”
Elgar snorted a little. She suddenly frowned. It looked like a person with something on it or a person who was sick.
“Are you okay?”
“No, I’m just a little hungry.”
“Isn’t there a problem or something?”
I was embarrassed. Because what happened these days was enough to shock Elgar. If there is a problem with Elgar and Ai due to the recoil, there is no way to do it.

Except that for some reason, the name went back to being a conspiracy, there seemed to be no problem.
Anyway.
It was the weekend of last weekend.
I made an appointment with Elgar to meet Mirna. I was really excited, but when the time came, I was trembling.
At last, the door of the high-end fairy restaurant where they had a conversation with a room was opened, and Mirna Draco appeared.
“Do you have anything to say to me? What the hell is going on?”
