A week has passed.
In other words, the festival is here.
Rene calmed her breathing as she felt that the tremors that had been scratching her chest had now turned into a strong earthquake.
Second date with Vera.

On our first library date, we wore pods, so this time, let’s go further than that!
Renee, who had clasped her hands tightly with such a heart, lifted her head at the sound of a ‘trick’ knock.
“yes!”
After the answer, the four apprentice priests, including Hela, entered the room with a ‘click’ sound, and Annie, the most energetic of them, opened her mouth.
“Lady! Is it today?”
“Ah yes… !”
Renee’s cheeks turned red. Head turned downwards. Somewhere shy, and also a pitiful appearance.
Annie felt her heart pounding at the sight and trembled, and continued speaking with a determined expression.
“Only trust us! Today I just fell for Vera… !”
“Annie, be careful. The choice of words is vulgar.”
“Yeah, hey.”
Annie pouted her lips and glared at Hela.
‘In the meantime, I’ve been going around with Vera, and people have become boring.’
Before leaving Seongguk, he was a very quirky and funny person, but after all, does the environment make a person? I went around with an uninteresting person, and the lack of fun seemed to have shifted.
“Hey, don’t fight… .”
“Hey, we’re fighting. Come on, come on. It will be very busy to prepare!”
Hela frowned and changed her expression abruptly before seeing Annie approaching Renee, saying, “Huh,” and smirking.
Should it be the same? Shouldn’t there be no development?
Hela shook her head, remembering that her colleague, whom she had met again after a few months, seemed too immature.

Only the two apprentice priests who stood back and watched them knew that the two people who looked at each other patheticly were actually the herbs and the food.

“Are you done?”
“yet! Not yet! Just for a while!”
Renee’s expression darkened.
For an hour and thirty minutes, Renee, who had been devoting so much time to decorating because of Annie, who was full of passion, felt exhausted and began to mumble as if muttering.
“If I walked around anyway, I would be confused… .”
It’s not okay to go out in moderation, let’s say it with that intention.
“I don’t know!”
Annie groaned.
“Lady! You can’t win Vera’s heart that way!”
Whoops-!
Annie’s eyes shone with passion as she continued to speak with her fists clenched.
“It’s a later thing to get distracted while walking, and it’s perfect for the moment we met! Aren’t we going to meet up dressed up? That’s important! For example, first impressions, first impressions! Come on, lady. Imagine? Vera, who was waiting for me when I opened the door after decorating it, was surprised to see the saint, and my heart was pounding! Grabbing it!”
The look of surprised Vera.
Renee, who had hardened her body at Annie’s sign, heard those words and let her imagination run wild.
The material was sufficient.
I just had to recall Vera’s reaction a week ago when he sat in Vera’s arms on the pretext of learning swordsmanship.
The corners of my lips went up because I felt like I had won for some reason.
Renee was taken aback by the thought that today’s Vera might show it again, and straightened her back with a serious expression.
Rene, who easily believes in other people’s words, followed Annie with a determined expression and once again burned her enthusiasm.
“Boo, please!”
“sure! Trust me! I’m just going to give you a very good match today.”
Annie answered that with a more serious face than at any other time in her life.
If someone you don’t know sees it, isn’t it too much? And I can say passion. However, Annie was in the midst of thinking that this was not enough.
‘I’m going to spend the whole day crawling again.’
It’s only been 3 years since I’ve lived there. This means that you can clearly see it without seeing it in person.
What kind of shame do you have so much? Even when the name ‘Vera’ comes out, it rattles and rattles. When I hold my hand, it hardens like a chrysalis, and when I go into a conversation, I even forget how to say it.
Annie didn’t want to see such a frustrating sight anymore.
‘If this happens, I’ll die faster from a vase than the two of us.’
That’s never going to happen. Renee herself had no intention of rushing, so she had to push her back.
Confidence? there couldn’t be Isn’t it only double digits for the men he’s changed over the years?
Annie, who has a knack for dealing with men, decided to pour out all the skills she had accumulated today and teased her hands again.
“Sister, do you remember everything I said?”
“yes… ! Keep your back straight and your head down 30 degrees from the front! In addition… .”
“When you smile, you can see your dimples! And keep your stride as narrow as possible! The saint has a straight and pretty neck, so she has to keep appealing that point! The coat was deliberately one size bigger, so I thought I would hide as much as possible inside it! It stimulates the protective instinct!”
Renee’s head continued to nod up and down.
What floated above his face was a concentrated expression.
In that way, Renee was swept away by Annie’s atmosphere full of passion and listened to seduction sermons for over an hour, and forgot 90% of them.

smart.
“Lady?”
“Yes, I will go!”
In front of Renee’s dormitory door, Vera took a step back and stood upright at the sound of a voice coming from within. His expression is a little more blurred than usual.
There was no other reason. It was because of the tension rising over Renee and the two of them going to the festival.
It was a reaction that he was not even aware of.
From https://noblemtl.com
Only the thought of being uncomfortable and awkward kept running through my head and I was rubbing my nails with my fingertips for nothing.
shudder-.
The door opened.
“Sorry. Did you wait?”
“No… .”
For a moment, Vera raised his head at the sound he heard, and then took a deep breath as he saw Renee.
Second after the library. … No, the accident stopped for an instant when Renee came out with an incomparable amount of strength compared to that time.
A white blouse, a long sky blue skirt, and a large navy blue coat that wrapped Renee over it hung over her shoulders.
It could be said that it was neat or glamorous, but it was a dress that could be clearly seen as far as it was decorated and came out.
Vera, who had been blinded by the clothes for a moment, looked at Renee’s face.
The long eyelashes were swaying neatly above the eyes that fell down.
Her white hair was curling and falling a little differently than usual. The slender, pure white nape of the neck that was exposed because only the left side had her hair behind her ear was attracting attention.
“Vera?”
Vera stopped, startled by the words he had heard, and continued.
“Didn’t wait a bit.”
Renee internally cheered at the reaction and the firmness felt in the tone of voice he heard.
‘done!’
As Annie said, ‘first impression’ seemed to work well.
As the euphoria that was brimming with excitement gave strength to the hand holding the wand, Renee struggled to calm the twitching corners of her mouth, then extended one hand to Vera and said:
“Then shall we go?”
“… Yes.”
hands touched
Renee snatched his fingers between Vera’s fingers and squeezed them. Then he felt strength in Vera’s hand.
widely.
The two began to move at the signal that Renee touched the ground with his cane.
“Where are you going?”
“… There’s a little bit of time before the night market opens, so I’ll try to get some food first. I know a good place, so I made a reservation there.”
“Reservation?”
At what time did you even make a reservation? Renee, who had come up with that thought, made a surprised face, and Vera answered.
“I had a business to stop by nearby, so I settled it on the way.”
It was a lie.
A few days ago, I got up early in the morning to make a reservation and drove to Fifth Avenue. Reservations were full, so he found out the contact details of those who made a reservation, paid more and got a table.
However, Vera, whose pride did not allow himself to speak of that fact, added such a statement as if it was insignificant as much as possible.
“Fortunately, there was only one seat left.”
“That’s fortunate.”
Renee grinned, concentrating on the tone in Vera’s voice.
‘I’m nervous.’
Vera is nervous. He wasn’t the only one nervous. Now we are conscious of each other.
Renee felt a tingling sensation in her spine that Vera was finally starting to become conscious of herself.
At the same time, in another corner, a ferocious feeling came to mind, and it was because of the fact that I had been suffering alone for a while.
As a result, there was a playfulness that came to mind.
‘Let’s try to be a little more nervous.’
I hope Vera also rots his stomach as much as he has been rotting his stomach alone.
Rene, who tapped Vera’s hand with such a heart, continued the question with a smiley tone.
“Vera, do you have anything to say to me?”
I came out dressed like this, don’t you think about it?
At the question posed with that intention, Vera’s body began to harden even more.
As usual, you should say ‘You are beautiful’ because it didn’t work out.
Isn’t that right? Doesn’t it seem like you’re throwing a fluke? Isn’t the phrase ‘You are beautiful’ too harsh?
Surely there are better words.
There must be words that can praise René’s outfit in a simple way, without feeling greasy, without seeming to be flirting… .
Vera bit his lip at a passing thought, and broke out in a cold sweat at the elusive countermeasure.
“No?”
A ringing sounded in my ear.
Confusion came to mind at the words of the dunning.
Vera finally sheds it in a trembling tone.
“… You are beautiful.”
I spit out those harsh words.
sad mood.
Vera recalled his concern that René might misunderstand the intent of these words, but fortunately it became a futile concern.
“Is that so… !”
Renee’s heart thumps at the answer she returned! and felt a fall.
I felt my face heat up. It felt like the hairs all over my body were standing up.
It was because the trembling in Vera’s voice as he was speaking seemed serious, for some reason the momentary hesitation.
“Uhhhhhhhhh… !”
Renee coughed in vain and lowered her head.
He struggled to calm his pounding heart.
In my head, I was in the middle of thinking about what Annie had said before it came out.
– You see, ma’am? You have to be relaxed! Even if you are not relaxed, you have to pretend to be relaxed! I don’t have to be you! You are nothing to me! It makes me fuss with that kind of sign… , yes? It’s nothing? Oh my gosh, explode! It’s ‘pretend’. pretend!
pretend to be relaxed. irritably
“Vera.”
“… Yes.”
“How did Vera wear today?”
Keep your back straight, your head slightly down, and your neck long to show the nape of your neck.
Vera’s pupils trembled slightly at the question he posed as he recalled what he had learned one by one.
It was an awkward act, but it was because he was shaking Vera’s stomach by reconciling it with beauty.
Vera opened his mouth as if possessed as he watched Renee’s white hair ruffled, then swallowed the words again.
‘how… .’
have to say It was because of such concerns.
How do you explain what you are wearing today, what you look like, and why you are like this?
Maybe this explanation sounds like something to brag about. Otherwise, it would feel too dull.
Vera, who had rolled his eyes again with concern, continued, trying to make up his mind.
“… Light clothing. I’m wearing a shirt, pants, and a coat over it.”
“What color?”
“The shirt is white, the pants and coat are black.”
“In addition?”
“… I left the holy sword because I thought it would attract attention, and instead I hid the dagger in my arms.”
After saying that, Vera took one breath and took a deep breath, looking into the distance for nothing.
“This is a dagger that the saint gave me as a gift.”
A small smile appeared on Renee’s lips.
It was a smile that came to mind because he was satisfied that he had the gift he had given him in his arms.
“… awesome.”
It was a word with the subject removed.
Naturally, Vera’s confusion deepened.
Is the dagger cool? Is it cool to have a dagger in your arms? if not… Are you saying you’re cool?
I do not know.
I don’t know what it is, but for now.
“… I’m sorry.”
It was very frustrating.
