4. Shall we reconcile?
** 4. Shall we reconcile?
The Circle Room of Eros is like a ruin.
Where dust and debris settled on the floor, Orien was sipping his tea as usual.
Orien, who was endlessly flipping through the pages of her book in the silence, left the teacup at the sound of her approaching light footsteps.
“For some reason, you all come here.”
“What, can’t I come here?”
“I’m afraid it won’t work, but the culprit who ruined the circle room in such a mess came back, so I just asked him once.”
“With your ability, you can recover in one second, but you’re leaving it like this on purpose. Do you know what a bad taste it is?”
Orien then turned to her winds and raised one corner of her mouth.
“What are you talking about?”
“Ehh… “
Winds coughed lightly to avoid the rising dust.
“Collock… Eh, let’s clean up and live.”
“Wouldn’t it be clean in an instant with just one blow of your wind?”
“If I get disciplined here again, the promotion review will drop by 100%, right?”
“I know.”
“…..”
Controlling the emotions bubbling inside her, Wins bluntly spat out.
“How long are you going to use that tone to your classmate? Don’t you feel like cringing?”
“Emperor must have dignity everywhere.”
“Anyway, unlucky year… “
Winds, giggling, suddenly threw up a topic.
“…But I mean.”
Winds said in a strangely insecure tone.
“That… Actually, I have a question for you.”
“Tell me.”
“You know that guy, that… Your junior who just entered school.”
“Alemmal?”
Orien recited Alem’s name indifferently. Then her Wins eyes widened slightly.
“…It must have been Alem, his name.”
“This body knows nothing.”
“So anyway. If I… “
Wins’ expression darkened as she brought her main point. There was a lethargic air that was not easily seen in front of others.
Winds, who hesitated several times to open his mouth, finally made up his mind.
Even if she lied anyway, she wouldn’t work on Orien.
“Perhaps I am wrong-“
“ㅡYou pointed it out very well.”
“!”
Winds trembled in surprise, then shook her head sullenly.
Is that the case?
When she heard the truth from someone who hated her lies, her heart became even more dizzy. Most of all, the thing that haunts her mind right now is the image of him who trudged away after hearing her slanderous vitriols from her.
At that time, she didn’t think too deeply about it. However, as time passed, the anger that seemed like it would never go out was scattered somewhere and only a sense of embarrassment remained.
That’s why I came. In the nest of Eros, which still feels disgusting and frightening. Because the person Winds was looking for was only here.
“Hmm… “
Looking down at Winds, Orien smiled. She was completely overflowing with golden magic in her eyes.
From Orien’s point of view, Winds was now conflicted. It is a question that is too simple and the answer is too obvious for a warrior who saved countless lives and protected the world.
Orien giggled.
“If you made a mistake, shouldn’t you admit it and find another way?”
“… Huh?”
“If you have done something wrong to someone, go first and ask for forgiveness. “
Orien closed the book.
“That’s how it is written here.”
“…..”
Winds laughed.
“You are really honest. You’re not a lie reader, you’re just reading people’s minds, right?”
“You are just too simple. Your thought structure is 0 or 1, how can you not know that?”
“Did you just call me single-celled?”
“The story ended at the point you dared to ask.”
“This color—-“
Winds involuntarily felt the wind gathering in her grasp and hurriedly put it in her pocket. You have to be patient. If you get angry here, you’re really playing around with what he said…
Even the trap of discipline was a prepared double trap. I was even awed by Orien’s clever tactics.
Winds, coughing heavily, asked quietly.
“…That.”
“What else?”
“What are you talking about… I’m that guy… That… Do I have the right to apologize to Alem?”
Winds, who glanced at Orien to see that she was listening to her, continued her words.
“Starting from the entrance ceremony, I bullied him almost every second. But even if she apologized now, where should I start… “
There were too many moments when I tried to force myself into it. Then things she thought she had to do at the time were now poking at Winds’ conscience.
“Haa… Anyway, what, keuh, does he like anything? Please tell me if you know anything.”
Orien’s eyes widened as he covered his mouth with her book before he knew it. She seemed to be desperately holding back a laugh.
Seeing that, Wins burst into anger with her blushing face.
“Oh, yes! I’m in a bad situation, so I’ll pay you a bribe to apologize! Okay! You devil!”
“It’s nice to see you now that you’re being honest.”
Orien said with a smile.
“Shouldn’t you already know? In the middle dimension, where the cultures of different dimensions are mixed and enjoying an unprecedented cultural boom, Alem, who has just been summoned, is the only one who has ever experienced the cultural life.”
“Uh…..”
Winds recognized her answer right away.
“Oh, coffee! That’s right, why didn’t I think of that?”
As Winds clapped her hands and was about to leave right away, she let out a spiteful voice from Orien.
“But you know what? Yesterday, Makia bought her coffee and went to visit Alem in the hospital.”
“Oi, then why did you say that!! Who are you kidding?!”
Wins, who had been raging and angry, soon her expression became bewildered.
“Wait… what? Visit? Was he hospitalized? Why?”
“What do you think it is for?”
Orien calmed down a bit.
Actually, she didn’t mean to say this far. Of course, it would have been more interesting to hear from her directly.
Still, I wonder if it feels like they’re giving away a service.
Orien tossed it.
“It’s the heart spirit.”
“Simma, yes, sim… “
Winds nodded lightly, but his body froze.
‘No way… because of me… ‘
In her head, the reason must already be solidified as her own fault.

“Ahhhhh… “
Makia, who had been stuck in a dark laboratory all day today, stretched her slumped posture. The shirt inside her wrap gown tightened like it was about to burst.
“Euggeukgeuk.”
After a series of movements made her bones sound five or six times, Makia let her stretch out. She let her long yawn flow from her tiny mouth.
“Ahhhhh… I’m tired… “
With her familiar motion, Makia, who dispensed the juice from her coffee machine, immediately received the hot water and took a one-shot.
While her body wrestled with the hot liquid that suddenly invaded inside, Makia brewed coffee to drink slowly this time.
It was her own set routine.
“Ugh… I’m sleepy… “
Makia, who moved in a daze with her mug in one hand, stopped in front of a desk.
“Suddenly… The results would have come out.”
Among the cluttered desk, the combination recipe for the tranquilizer that Alem had requested from Makia the other day was scattered around.
Since the formula was already perfectly mastered in Makia’s head, all that was left was to see how the result of the combination he had never seen before would be born.
Actually, it was because Alem told me that it was a tranquilizer, and when she simply looked at the combination, she couldn’t even infer Makia at all.
‘As expected, the universe is vast.’
The life of the animals and plants on the inhabited planet was almost the same regardless of the dimension, but despite this, the behavior patterns of each dimension were very different. In particular, the more you go to pharmacy, the more the difference in the formula becomes more prominent.
Makia realized anew that human improvisation is infinite and eternal.
“Oh.”
Beep- beep-
A notification has been sent that the machine that processes drugs in various ways has ended. Makia immediately opened the lid of the machine.
“What kind of medicine is it?”
As the steam rose once, Makia rubbed his palms and hummed to him. When she was alone, her personality tended to be a little childish.
Of course, if even one person comes close to her, she immediately turns into a cuddle.
Puchwig-
When all the hot steam had escaped and she was finally able to put her hand inside her machine, Machia without delay took out a beaker of the medicine and poured it into each of her test tubes.
And then 30 minutes passed.
“……”
It didn’t take long for Makia’s face, who had been watching her reaction in the test tube, to go beyond her paleness and become contemplative.
“Uh, why…”
The speculations in Makia’s mind as to how he could have taken this drug with such firm belief that it was a tranquilizer ran after her.
This cannot be. It’s morally unacceptable…
“Heh, heh…” “
Makia muttered as she sat down on her bare floor and shook her head.
“No… This… You’re so pitiful… “
A tranquilizer?
“Ha… under!”
Makia snorted at her in a fit of spirit.
Makia, as a chemical engineer, felt unbearable rage at the question of who had created such a poison for humans.
“I have to tell Alem… “
The identity of the drug he had been taking for several years, believing it to be a tranquilizer.
In fact, it was more like a drug that viciously stimulates the brain nerves, making people half assholes.
So the one he calls a close friend is the one that wanted to kill him the most, interesting.
