Aisha was happy.
That’s right, isn’t it the moment of revenge that has finally come? This is a golden opportunity to pay for all that Vera has suffered in the past.
Things like the big hand that used to be a bee and put a chestnut on it, etc.
Aisha felt her heart pounding at the thought that she was finally able to avenge her past, and uttered those words.
“Strengthen!”
A question I ask with my eyes twinkling in an attempt to pretend to be naive for others.
Vera replied with a frown at the sight.
“go away.”
“yes?”
“I’m not the kind of person who’s idle enough to play with a kid like you.”
Aisha’s eyebrows rose.
“… Rene-sama’s tail or the subject that you follow.”
What it does is truly Aisha-like provocation. Vera frowned at the words and looked at Aisha.
I thought about grinding my cheeks, but it was impossible.
‘… rot.’
He is a child of the kingdom. That is to say, she is the attendant of that quirky woman.
To touch this little boy is to touch the heart of the woman, and Vera is not able to deal with the little boy according to his nature.
However, there was no way at all.
Vera looked around quickly.
‘none.’
The saint entered the room with what seemed to be my maid.
In other words, if it is now, it means that you can touch the little boy to some extent at a water level that doesn’t get caught in the oath.
There were good excuses, too.
“… yes, good Don’t do that fight.”
“Five.”
“The place is… .”
Vera looked around once more, and when he found a small vacant lot behind the dormitory, he chinked and said:
“Don’t do it over there.”
The place I pointed out was a space where the view was somewhat obscured by tall trees.

Vera crossed his arms and looked at Aisha across from him.
The expression on his face was not annoyed or excited, but surprised.
‘fairly… .’
have a talent
I thought he was just an annoying kid, but when I looked at him, he was a kid with a lot of skills.

Of course, I can’t say that I’m very talented right now, but considering that I’m a kid who hasn’t even finished growing yet, it’s at a level I’m looking forward to for the future.
‘… Did you say it was the start of a saint?’
So close.
In my mind, he was such a talented person that he wanted to take him to the gutter and teach him directly, and then use him as a limb, but as it is related to Seongguk, that would be impossible.
Vera let out a short sigh of anger.
Because Renee’s face came to mind.
‘Inbok is a lot of women.’
Where did you pick up these things, and indeed, one Inbok is not a natural woman.
Perhaps because I’ve only met such good people, I was able to say such a relaxed voice.
Vera, recalling the conversation he had with Renee during the day, felt his stomach boil again at those carefree words, and spread his arms.
brushed away thoughts The gray pupil turned towards Aisha, who was preparing to rush with the dagger in her hand.
‘… I don’t like her.’
That little guy looks pretty funny, so can I teach you a little bit of entertainment?
“Lower your posture.”
“What?”
“I mean, don’t look at the gaps. If you’re facing off against your opponent, make them nervous at the thought of when you’ll run into them. It’s eroding your mental power.”
Aisha’s expression darkened.
‘This isn’t it… .’
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, that’s because things didn’t work out the way you expected.
That was Aisha’s initial plan.
Vera now has lost his memory. It is a state in which memories of the past are brought out and the personality of childhood has come out.
In other words, he didn’t know how to fight. The one who learned from the future Vera should be stronger.
But, why… .
‘… Why are you the same as usual?’
Has it become a class rather than a match?
Was Vera a monster since childhood?
Aisha’s lips protrude. Its tail swung unhappily.
“Aren’t you going to run away?”
Vera’s calm tone. Aisha, filled with a sense of dread, rushed to Vera, surrendering herself to her emotions, as she had always done.
The distance narrowed in an instant. Short crossed eyes. And the beat according to the breath.
Aisha’s dagger sprinted towards Vera’s waist, considering the things that had usually made Vera sore.
Immediately after, Aisha felt that the dagger would hit the target if she stretched one more span, and her eyes twinkled, adding strength to her hand.
“It’s obvious.”
Vera twisted slightly, and the dagger cut straight through the air.
Vera’s legs lifted, followed by heels hitting Aisha’s crown.
Tight-!
“Aww!”
Aisha lay flat on the floor, rubbing her top of the head, and glaring at Vera with wrinkled eyes.
Vera laughed at the sign and continued.
“I don’t know who the master is, but I’m pretty sure he’s an asshole. The teaching method is exhausting. Where in the world can anyone fight with such honesty?”
who taught me… , that is, it was an insult to myself.
While Aisha was trembling, she suddenly shook her head and raised the corners of her mouth.
‘This is it!’
The reason why he thought of a way to make fun of Vera even in the midst of the pain he heard.
Now Vera is cursing himself. If you get your memories back, you will definitely feel ashamed of this.
No, maybe he’ll tear the duvet up like Renee-sama!
Aisha asked with an excited face, forgetting that she was sick right away and that Vera had hit her again.
“Then what do you do?”
“You have to use the terrain. And you have to use the age of four years. After you used the fact that you were a child to induce vigilance, you had to mix things with anomalies, whether it was sprinkling dirt, sticking a dagger, or kicking him in the groin.”
“yes? That is cowardly.”
“Where is the cowardice in the fight? If you kill someone anyway, no one will know, so just do it.”
Vera, who had been nagging at me to keep my dignity as a knight if I opened my mouth, said it with my own mouth.
“Do not chase after garbage that has no form, such as pride or honor. Ultimately, it is ingenuity and meanness that endangers life.”
This is also what Vera said with his own mouth, who said to live for pride.
“After all, they are all the same beasts. If you don’t kill, you die. Compassion is the worst poison. Understanding and forgiveness are illusions created by cowards who have a fear of harming themselves.”
From then on, the things Vera said with only one corner of his mouth raised went against what he had ever said.
Aisha’s eyes twinkled and her tail was straight.
‘You have to remember everything.’
I’ll have to listen to it later.
At that thought, Aisha just nodded her head with a very, very satisfied face.

After dinner, Renee sighed heavily, stroking Aisha’s head, who was lying on her knees as she sat on the dormitory’s bed.
There was a hint of despair on the inside.
‘… In the end, I got nothing.’
He seemed to wake up to the fact that he had not gained anything even though he had blown away the whole day and brought out the Vera of the past.
‘Once I intervened in the last time period, it was definitely after the Empire Founding Festival.’
Should we be satisfied enough that we were able to solidify what we expected with certainty?
Rene, who continued to think, recalled Vera, whom she had spent the day with, and suddenly thought of such a question.
‘Last time I was… .’
How the hell did you roast that Vera?
What did he do to change Vera like this?
A feeling that was a little strange to do for himself, yet intolerable, began to settle in Renee.
It was jealousy, and it was also a desire for monopoly.
It was obviously something he had done, but at the same time it wasn’t his job, and for some reason he felt that Vera had changed because of someone else.
It is right to dismiss it as a childish feeling and brush it off, but how easy is that?
Is love such a rational emotion?
Isn’t the selfishness of wanting the other person’s past, present, and future to be their own, a natural obsession that follows the sweetness of love like a shadow.
As Renee continued to think, what should be called a competitive spirit arose.
‘… A naughty woman.’
It was the competitive spirit of myself in the last round.
I’m much better than that girl.
I am honest with my feelings and I know how to bump into them.
I don’t do sleazy things like that behind the scenes.
So, along with the rising anger, strength was added to Renee’s body.
“Aww!”
Aisha flinched and let out such a sound.
Renee’s body trembled.
Rene, who had stopped contemplating, later realized that Aisha’s ears were in her hands, and was startled and apologized.
“Oh sorry! I was thinking about something else for a while.”
“Ugh… it’s okay.”
“Oh, it hurts.”
A word spoken by gently rubbing the ear area with your hand.
After confirming that there was no problem by moving her ears flutteringly, Aisha lifted her head and looked at Renee’s complexion.
Then he tilted his head and carefully asked the question.
“… Renee, where are you hurting?”
“yes?”
“You look bad.”
“ah… .”
Did Aisha know how she felt on her face?
Renee felt that a look of disappointment came up for nothing, so he corrected his expression and answered.
“No, I must have been tired from lectures these days. I’m okay.”
That’s how I did it myself.
‘Yeah, it’s me who wins in the end.’
The loser didn’t have to care because he was the one who was going to have Vera after all. There’s no need to shake your emotions like this.
While the thoughts continued, Aisha, who was watching the scene, realized that Renee was definitely different from usual, and took her head off the knee she had been cutting until then. And said in a playful voice.
“Rene, can I tell you something interesting?”
“yes?”
“I was just trying to know this… .”
It’s about the shameful remarks Vera said in Dalian that he did with an exhilarating voice.
He wanted to make Renee feel better, so he had uncovered Vera’s dark history.
Renee’s eyes widened slightly.
It was because he realized that a new Vera he didn’t know had acted out of the blue. Maybe he had done harm to Aisha.
Renee, who had listened to the story with a worried look at that thought, burst into laughter as he said, ‘Poo-sup!’
“And Vera… .”
“Vera was very rude.”
“Yeah, when you smile, you smile with only one corner of your mouth raised? And again… .”
The reason why Vera found out that he was pretending to be there in front of Aisha with all his pretense.
A smile suddenly appeared on René’s face as he heard the story.
Aisha’s consolation had a definite effect enough to blow away all the negative thoughts that had come to mind.
‘Accumulation of Black History.’
Renee asked Aisha the question with a smile on her face.
“Oh, so Vera went back to his room? You checked, right?”
“Yeah, Renee-sama ordered it, so I went in quietly. Oh, I heard swearing.”
“I must be mad.”
“Shall I scold you?”
“No, I can do it.”
René made the smile on the corner of his mouth deep and added a word to himself.
‘Of course, it is Vera who is coming back to be scolded.’
*
Early moning.
Vera frowned at the sunlight shining through the window and woke up, shaking his head at the memories of the previous day, which suddenly began to wander through his mind.
The gray pupils trembled pathically, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Unknowingly, her gaping lips trembled, revealing Vera’s feelings.
His trembling hands moved steadily and covered his face.
A swear word came out of his mouth.
“… rot.”
Vera lay in bed like that of a crying girl, shivering in shame for a long time.
