“Fray, get under the desk.”
“Selena, it’s okay. I’m actually…”
“I know you’re strong, so please come in.”
Hearing Serena’s resolute voice, Frey begins to hesitate.
Serena, who looked at Frey like that, grabbed his arm and pushed it under the desk and said urgently.
“You’re half-invoked right now. No matter how strong you are, you’ll definitely get hurt in that state.”
“No, though…”
“I’ll protect you. So stay there.”
Still, when Frey did not release the sword from her hand, Serena raised her eyes and struck his hand with a fan.
“Ouch.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already completed the calculations perfectly.”
Hearing this, Frey started looking at the floor quietly with his arms crossed, with a fat expression on his face.
Serena, who read what Frey was doing every time she was pranked by her pranks in the past, smiled timidly and opened up the fan.
“Coo!!”

Eventually, when the owl that was sitting on her shoulder flew out of the slightly open window with a howl, Serena, who was watching it, closed her eyes tiredly and fell into thought.
‘…After 5 seconds, the window will break and a man will break in. The weapon will be a dagger, and it will target my left shoulder.’
And the next moment, the window on the right broke and a masked man broke into the room.
“Ugh!!”
Realizing that Serena was staring at him in the room, the man immediately finished his judgment and began to aim at Serena’s left shoulder.
It was a cold and terrifying judgment that could come from being trained as a machine to assassinate all his life in the Moonlight family.
“It’s within the expected range.”
But Serena fanned the attack lightly, then quickly turned and slashed the dagger and began to look at the door to the left of the room.
‘If you feel the flow of air coming in from outside the door… there will be one on each edge of the door. Looking at the body shape, height, and standing posture, both are in charge of distance.’
Since they were children, and they have always seen each other in the previous episodes, Serena knows all the strategies and tactics they use.
So Serena could easily predict what the assassins would do if they added just a little reasoning from her standards, as if predicting the future.
‘So as soon as the door opens, the two men standing on the edge will throw themselves right and left, respectively, and throw daggers at me. then…’
After making the decision, Serena’s dagger bounced off and kicked the embarrassed man’s shin, then grabbed the collar and put it in front of her.
– Boom!!
And at that moment, the door vigorously opened and the two assassins who came in threw daggers at Serena and then threw themselves at both ends of the room.
“Khehe!!”
However, the dagger they threw hit the man Serena had already used as a shield.
‘Next time, two people will come down from the ceiling at the same time and try to insert a sword into me. At the same time, the guys heading to both ends of the room will prepare a follow-up shot.’
With that thought in mind, Serena, who twisted the stiff neck of the man after being hit with a dagger, kicked the chair lying next to him to the right, grabbed the droopy man and started running to the left.
– Kugugung!!
And at that moment, the ceiling collapsed and the two assassins landed on the floor.
The two of them were trying to insert the sword into Serena who was in front of them until recently, but suddenly they found Serena far away and started collecting swords on the sword.
“Wow!”
“What, what?”
However, one of the assassins who were collecting swords suddenly fell with his head pierced by a dagger.
This was because the chair that Serena had already set up hit the man who was throwing the dagger from the far right and changed its track.
“…shit!”
At the same time, the woman who was about to throw a spear from the left gave up the ranged attack because of the man Serena had used as a shield, pulled out a dagger and started preparing for a hand-to-hand battle.
‘Isn’t the guy below going to be aiming for my feet? He always liked to intervene and intercept the ball at the crucial moment.’
After making that decision, Serena knocked down the droopy man and climbed onto it.
‘The woman in front of me is not good at close combat. So, I’ll probably do an attack based on what I’ve learned, not an attack that comes from experience.’
Serena, remembering her fighting style, smiled and started swinging a fan.
Serena, who blocked the escape route with the moon’s mana, changed the angle of her body to narrow the attack range of the woman in front of her, and then thought for a moment.
‘Then the only attack she can do with a dagger will be stabbing.’
“Ahhh!!”
Unsurprisingly, the woman who looked at the mana of the moon surrounding her in bewilderment immediately closed her eyes and slashed the dagger at Serena with all her might.
Serena then grabbed her arm and instead used that power to pull her towards her.
– Greasy!!
And at that moment, the man behind the sword vigorously blasted the sword around Serena.
“Suck!”
Then, Serena pushed the back of the woman she had been pulling towards her with her feet and sent her right in front of the sword, then swung her fan loudly.
– Scrap!
Then, the woman who had her back pushed was killed instantly by the sword, and as half of them died in an instant, there was silence in the room for a moment.
– Dduduk!!

Eventually, the only thing that broke the silence was the spear that pierced the flesh of the man Serena was riding on.
“Huh!”
But Serena, who had read the slight vibration felt by the man who was stepping on it and was expecting the spear to come out from, quickly raised her foot to avoid the spear, and then kicked the tip of the spear.
“Wow!”
Then the tip of the poisoned spear began to fly forward, and the man with the sword who was looking at it threw himself to the side with a terrified expression on his face.
– Whoops!
However, in the wind, the long-distance officer, who was defenseless behind him, fell down with a poisoned spear stuck in his eye.
“Kulleukkulkuk! Big heuk!”
And at the same time, the assassin, who was aiming for a chance at the bottom of the floor, suddenly inhaled the mana of the moon that filled the floor, and fell to his knees while vomiting blood.
“…shit!”
The man with the knife, who watched the scene with a stunned expression, started screaming and running towards the window.
“Koo!!”
“Kuk!”
But as he approached just in front of the window, Serena’s owl suddenly popped out and began to scratch his eyes fiercely with claws.
“Se, Serena-sama! Please help me!”
As a result, the assassin, who lost his sight, panicked, looked around, and hurriedly knelt down and began to pray.
“That’s why you should have given up on your mission when I gave you a chance.”
“Boo, please! Please…”
“Did you really want to kill my husband?”
But Serena, who was looking at the assassin coldly, relentlessly twisted his neck and headed for the window.
‘As soon as I close the window, an assassin watching the situation will fire a poison stinger. If you dodge it and throw the memorization on the fan to where he is…’
Serena, who was about to carry out the last action she had calculated, suddenly collapsed, screaming at the pain she felt all over her body.
“Ha, ha ha…!”
A complex magic circle floated on her body.
– Puchong!!
And when the stings fired without missing the gap flooded her, Serena grinned and muttered.
“Well, he’s hiding at his desk.”
“Ugh!!”
At that moment, Frey jumped out of the desk and struck a poison stinger with his sword.
“Are you a husband by the way?”
After that, Frey, who was quietly gathering star mana in her hand, looked at Serena and asked in a low voice.
“I never had a wife?”
The moment he finished speaking, a silver ray of light from Frey’s finger pierced through the tree in the distance.
“Bye!”
Then, a short flurry was heard from somewhere, and silence began to flow.
“…marry me, Frey.”
It was Serena, who was already crying, who broke the brief silence.
“Even if it’s a short time… Let’s have a wedding, go on a honeymoon, have a baby, and live in fivesoon-dosoon. Yeah?”
“Serena… Am I okay?”
“It’s okay! I’ve already read your thoughts! You’re not even sure you’ll survive!”
Saying that, Serena got up from her seat and started crying sadly in Frey’s arms.
“Please. Please marry me before it’s too late. Please.”
“Selena.”
“I will never remarry. I will spend the rest of my life raising your child. So please…”
“Idiot.”
Serena, who had been forcing herself for a while, heard Frey’s words and asked, with her eyes wide open.
“What did you say now?”
“Silly.”
Then Frey spoke again with a mischievous expression on her face, and Serena began to look at Frey with a blank look.
“It’s the second time in my life I’ve been called an idiot.”
“okay?”
“Yeah, you were the first to say it.”
Saying that, Serena laughed bashfully, and Frey sighed and lifted her up.
“Anyway, I’m not dying. I’m sure I’ll survive.”
Hearing that, Serena had a dark expression for a moment, then nodded, changing her expression to a brighter one.
“Then, shall we go to our next date course?”
“No, that’s not okay.”
Then, as scary words in various ways came out of Serena’s smiling mouth, Frey resolutely shook her head and looked around.
“Now, we committed a murder in the middle of the imperial capital. Not in a back alley, but in an ordinary dessert cafe.”
“okay.”
“Okay, so I need to get things done right from now on. First of all… the money I have now…”
Frey, looking at the blood-stained room with a serious expression, began to rummage through his arms to see what money was available…
– Clap!
Suddenly Serena clapped her hands and started looking at her with a puzzled expression.
“…Put it away.”
“”yes.””
And after a while, when the dessert cafe staff who opened the door and appeared at Serena’s command, stiffened their faces and began to move in unison, Frey, who was wide open, asked a question in a low voice.
“Have you ever had a kid who said that animals shouldn’t be brought in?”
“There is a saying that in order to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your allies.”
“…maybe this place, was it like this from the beginning?”
“Still, the dessert is delicious, right?”
When Serena had finished saying those words, she smiled, and Frey, who was staring blankly at her, suddenly began to sweat as she looked at the staff in the room.
“It’s ok, they have bad eyesight to the point where they can’t distinguish faces well without glasses. Of course, they can tell the overall outline and color…”
“…I lost.”
After that, Frey interrupted her explanation in a liberated voice, and then quietly followed her and started leaving the dessert cafe.
It was an exceptionally bright moonlit night.
.
.
.
.
.
“Fray. Did you have a good day today?”
“…yes.”
I was quite shocked by the horror dessert cafe incident, but fortunately I was able to have a pretty good time after that.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a play with her, and it’s been really fun to shop in a backstreet where I can find regular stores, and at a bar I’ve been to with her, I can find out that Serena’s weakness is alcohol.
If she hadn’t come to her senses at the end and used her alcohol detox magic, it would have been really bad.
“Look over there. The moon is very bright today too.”
“Is it all over already?”
“In this case, just say bright.”
Me and Serena, who were running out of time on a date, began to lay down on the floor of the playground they frequented and look up at the sky.
“Aren’t you being reprimanded for the assassins who died today?”
“It’s an accidental manipulation.”
“Didn’t the elders directly issue an order?”
“I’ve already planted quinoa in the elders, so don’t worry too much.”
Hearing those words, I looked at Serena, who was looking at the sky from the side, and said.
“Who’s that bastard?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“I’m planning on slaughtering the entire elders, but you can’t even slap your stingrays.”
Serena heard that and started to burst out laughing.
“Aww… how are you?”
“The friends I’ve recently made friends with are quite useful. So, the Senate will be able to wipe them out quickly.”
“Can I trust you?”
“If you keep doing that, will you give me orders?”
I frowned slightly, and Serena responded with a pleasant smile.
“From now on, we’ll talk at night, by letter. I’ll send you an owl every night.”
“Uh… It must be a bit difficult to receive at times, isn’t it?”
“That’s up to my owl to decide. He’s as clever as he is.”
I nodded my head at those words and immediately asked a question with a curious expression on my face.
“By the way, how the hell did you find out about all this? And, how did you avoid the penalty in the first place?”
“I do not know?”
Then, she began to slander me by using her old habit of speaking frequently.
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you right now.”
Thanks to that, the memories of my life being dealt with by Serena in the past came to mind, and when I put on an annoyed expression on my face, Serena smiled and opened her mouth.
“When everything is clear, I’ll tell you then. There are so many things I’m still not sure about.”
Hearing those words, I began to stare at Serena for a moment.
“Why? Are you pissed off?”
“No, because you’re pretty today.”
I was praising her for doing the best she could for me, but suddenly Serena began to make a mischievous expression on her face.
“More than Kania?”
“yes?”
“Is Kania more precious? Am I more precious?”
After hearing her words, I began to think about fifty thousand thoughts in an instant.
Probably, that was the only moment my brain caught up with Serena’s computational speed.
“”Kania is precious as my henchman, and you are precious as my fiancee.”
It wasn’t.
Instead of catching up, I read my thoughts.
“Look, you’re in the palm of my hand.”
“…haha.”
Serena, who followed my lines at the same time, spoke with a cold smile, so I smiled and started looking at the sky again.
“I have one question.”
“yes?”
But Serena suddenly frowned and asked a question.
“…Who’s the handkerchief you were holding earlier?”
Hearing those words, I took out the handkerchief from my pocket and said.
“My brother gave it to me.”
Serena, who listened attentively to those words, immediately looked into my eyes and said with a smile.
“Is it true?”
“Am I going to lie in front of you saying I’m crazy?”
Saying that, I was about to put the handkerchief back into my pocket when Serena suddenly took my handkerchief.
“Come on, here.”
“This…”
Before long, the handkerchief in my hand again had a small moon engraved on it.
“Hey, morning is about to come.”
Serena said with a frown as she quietly caressed her handkerchief, feeling a gentle energy that is not poisonous for the moon’s mana.
“I have to go now.”
Saying that, Serena, who was about to get up from her seat, looked at me as if she had suddenly remembered and started talking.
“This test was designed by Clana-san in collaboration with the Moonlight family.”
“Yeah, I knew it would.”
“However, things went wrong with Professor Isolet’s arbitrariness.”
“What?”
When I heard that, I frowned, and Serena whispered in a low voice.
“Professor Isolett’s arbitrariness changed the commanders of each team, and the plan went awry. Do you understand what I mean?”
“…there is an assassin among commoner students.”
“Careful, Frey.”
Serena quietly nodded at my words, looked at me with a worried expression and said,
“If there is more information I find out in the future, I’ll share it as an owl.”
“Wait, don’t go yet. Serena.”
“yes?”
Hearing that, Serena tilted her head, so I whispered to her quietly.
“If I don’t drink the antidote before morning, I’ll die? Don’t you give me the antidote?”
“ah…”
Serena heard those words and quietly took out the medicine bottle from her pocket.
“Are you talking about this?”
“What, was it real?”
I asked just in case, but when the antidote really came out, I was bewildered, and immediately reached out to the medicine bottle she was holding, but…
– bum bum bum
Serena took the cap off the vial and drank the antidote inside, and started watching her with a blank expression.
“What are you doing…!”
I was about to shout with a bewildered expression on my face, but suddenly Serena grabbed me and threw me on the floor, and I accidentally crushed her.
“…Oh my (drink).”
After looking at her with an expression that she didn’t understand for a moment, Serena said with a smile while holding an antidote in her mouth.
“…yes.”
It’s impossible to die like this, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
.
.
.
.
.
After such a long time, Frey headed back to the duke’s mansion.
“Coo!”
The owl, who had left for a while for the two of us, returned to Serena’s shoulder and began to stare at her.
“You’re here.”
“Coo!”
Then Serena, who was gently stroking the owl sitting on her shoulder, began to mutter with a dark expression that was completely different from before.
“That was really true. What was written there was true. Then, then, you eventually…”
The owl looked at her with a worried expression and slapped her with her wings.
“I was wrong Frey. I… I was wrong… So…”
Serena started muttering in a trembling voice, even shedding tears.
“…Please don’t ever leave me again.”
Soon the sun began to rise in the sky.
