The garden in front of the house. Renee was sitting on a bench in a sunny spot and was in the midst of practicing divine magic.
What I’m doing right now is elemental art, which is the least difficult of all magic.
He was unable to learn martial arts due to his physical limitations, and because he was not immediately educated due to the need to understand the theoretical part, he was learning by the elimination method.
“Whew… .”
A long breath escaped Renee’s mouth. Renee took another breath, released the divine inside, gathered them over both hands, and began to transform the form by concentrating her thoughts.
The basics of elemental art are to realize what is imagined in an image into a shape.
‘fire.’
It’s not too hot, but the warm fire that warmed you up when you camped last night.
That was what came to mind.
Whoops. And it will burn and the form will shake. It will have the same color as red and sunset. Bring it close and it will transfer heat over your skin.
I can’t be sure because I can’t see it with my own eyes, but Renee recalled the memories of the days when he was still seeing and came up with an image similar to it as much as possible.
Whoops-.
Such a sound was heard while extracting the divinity and reshaping it.
quick.
There was also the sound of firewood bouncing. Perhaps it was a phenomenon that occurred while thinking of and making a bonfire.
Rene, who had been rubbing and refining the fire so non-stop, realized that there was nothing left to refine while wrestling with the divine, and posed a question to Vera.
“How are you, knight?”
“You have been very successful.”
“Hehe, that’s good.”
A bright smile appeared on Renee’s lips in response to the answer.
Vera looked at that smile, looking at the fire embodied in Renee’s hand again, and continued.
“It is a strong scarlet color. At the bottom of the fire are several long sticks that look like firewood, and the heat… .”
Vera continued, placing his hand over the fire.
“… It is slightly hotter than human body temperature. Bonfire, right?”
“Ah yes! It reminds me of what I used to smoke while coming to Seongguk.”
“You have reproduced it wonderfully. It’s a level of perfection that I can’t even imagine drawing without seeing the real thing.”
It wasn’t empty words.
The bonfire that Renee came up with on the palm of his hand was so exquisitely made that even if it was actually made by looking at it, it would be believable.
“Imagination is the most important factor in realizing alcohol. You have a talent for elemental arts.”
“Hey, it’s a shame if it floats too much… .”
“I am serious. I can’t do this kind of implementation.”
“Are you a knight?”
“Yeah, that’s why I’m not good at elemental arts.”
That was the reason why Vera dared to dig into the courts of divine magic. Because it was a field with room for development if we dig into it with sense, experience, and knowledge. Judging that imagination itself can cover up his weak weaknesses.
Vera was a man who didn’t invest in things that were unlikely.
Rene nodded her head slightly to understand the words that were being said, and then continued with a shy smile.
“Well, it’s amazing that there are things even knights can’t do.”
“I am human too, so it’s natural.”
“still… I feel like a knight who can do anything.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Is it Hwangsong this time? Oh, don’t apologize or apologize, answer something else.”
Kook-. Vera’s mouth shut.
Renee giggled at Vera’s sight of Vera who immediately shut her mouth and avoided an answer, then spoke out.
“It’s a joke.”
“Sorry… .”
“I still can’t.”
Vera felt a stinging sensation in his heart at the cut-off words. It was because I was not sure what to say when Renee came to play pranks on me.
After about a month or so, Renee had almost finished adjusting to Seongguk’s life and slowly began to show the playful appearance he had seen in the village.
It’s a good thing, but Vera can’t help thinking that it’s because of the people of Sungguk for this mischievous appearance, and he feels like he’s on fire every day.

Of course, it was a very subjective worry to the last, and it was a worry that was far from the truth.
Renee’s attitude now was her own effort to somehow calm her beating heart if she didn’t do this. Every time he talks with Vera, he is embarrassed, and he is frustrated with himself.
However, does this ultimately have its limits?
Renee felt his stomach ache again in the calming atmosphere, and quickly rolled his head to weave the words together.
“Yeah, seeing that, Daeshinjeon was a bit bustling. Could something happen?”
“Ah, maybe it was because the Apostle of Love returned to the Holy Land for a while.”
“Are you the apostle of love?”
“Yes, he is a long-term dispatcher for 5 years. I heard that you are going back for a while this time and resting.”
“Aha… .”
Renee nodded at the words he heard, and asked the question again, feeling the curiosity rising inside.
“Who is the Apostle of Love?”
“Neither do I. Because I’ve never met you.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, when I returned to Seongguk, I had already been dispatched, so this is my first meeting as well.”
“You seem to be very busy.”
Renee spoke like that, continued to say, ‘Um,’ and then asked the question again.
It is because there was someone who came to mind when I was dispatched.
“By the way, Rohan-sama isn’t dispatched?”
Rohan meets once in a while. A person who always exudes a bright and noisy atmosphere.
I heard that he was the most dispatched person, but Renee had never heard of where he was going after he came to Seongguk.
“It is a wait order right now. Since the Saint has only recently come here, it is best for the apostles to stay by her side as much as possible. This is the reason why the Apostle of Love has come to take the time to come.”
“ah… .”
At the words handed down, Renee felt embarrassed for some reason and continued to speak with her head bowed slightly.
“I’m sorry for why. Because of me… .”
“You don’t have to worry. I don’t know about anyone else, but that person, Rohan, goes out to play, so the saint wouldn’t even care.”
“oh.”
An aura of understanding rose above Renee’s expression.
Vera looked at him and had a thought.
It was a fact without an exaggeration. After the indefinite waiting order was issued, Rohan literally became a fool and went to a city near Seongguk to live in the nightlife.
Returning to Seongguk is always at sunrise, drowning in alcohol and staggering.
It was a good thing for Vera to see the most vigilant person go out like that, but Bargo’s mouth was getting more and more sighs at the sight of Rohan’s pathetic face.
“I’m a person who doesn’t have any good things about getting close.”
Renee could not refute the words this time.
“that… Well, yes.”
Renee’s head dropped down. It was by understanding. From Rene’s point of view, Lohan was a person who needed a lot of improvement in his lifestyle.
“Now let’s go inside. It’s dinner time.”
“Ah yes.”
Renee trembled at Vera’s hand as it fell on mine, and then got up.
slow walking gait. Vera, as always, was walking at Renee’s slow pace, so as not to strain him.
Renee felt elated for some reason that he was walking according to her own pace, and as a smile appeared on her lips, she suddenly felt such a question fill her head.
‘Looking at that… .’
Vera will soon be an adult. I was just 18 years old, and I heard that I was born in the winter, so when this winter comes, I will be legally old enough to enjoy entertainment.
So, in the next four months, Vera could go out for a drink too.
Close-!
Rene’s body hardened at the thought of him.
“Lady?”
Call of Vera. However, Renee couldn’t answer it because of the thoughts that came to his mind and the worries that followed made his head complicated.
‘what if… .’
If Vera follows Rohan to the nightlife. Drinking there all night.
‘Wow, a woman… !’
if you meet
squeak squeak. Renee’s movements became stiff like a kokeshi doll.
“Lady?”
The call is heard again. Rene, startled by this, lifted herself up and spoke out in a hard, hard tone.
“Yep!”
“Where are you uncomfortable?”
“Oh no!”
Renee answered it like that, and pointed the cane again and moved forward.
Vera’s words did not follow. Vera silently took his hand and moved on.
In that quiet atmosphere, Renee suddenly uttered those words in a delusion that was constantly floating in her head.
“Knight.”
“Yes.”
“Ugh… Does the knight like alcohol?”
Immediately after speaking, Renee, who was reflecting on the words she had said herself, suddenly felt an ‘Oops’ feeling.
Vera was still a minor. He wouldn’t have even tasted alcohol.
But, I didn’t think of him, so I opened my eyes and asked a stupid question that I couldn’t answer. what are you doing now Renee’s eyes were tightly closed in the rising sense of shame.
“I enjoy it to some extent.”
That answer came back. As a matter of course, a blank expression came out of Renee’s mouth.
“… yes?”
“I haven’t drank since I came to Seongguk, but before that, I enjoyed it occasionally. Especially on days when I couldn’t sleep, there were no sleeping pills.”
For Vera, this was the answer he came up with as he recalled the events of his previous life. In addition, it was the answer Vera did because he was not aware that he was currently underage.

Of course, from Ren’s point of view, unaware of such circumstances, it sounded like ‘I was addicted to alcohol until I was 14’, and Renee’s expression naturally hardened accordingly.
“… is that so.”
“Yes, um… Saying this reminds me of you again.”
flinch. Renee’s fingertips trembled. This time, it was a tremor so great that even Vera could feel it.
“Lady?”
“No, no. no… .”

Oh my gosh. Confusion filled Ren’s heart. what i just found out
‘Rain, delinquent youth… .’
Horrible people that only exist in big cities. Vera was the delinquent.
My heart is pounding. thud. It felt like going down. I didn’t feel like I shouldn’t know.

Of course, it had nothing to do with Vera’s dating a girl he liked to drink! but! Renee felt upset when he thought of him.
Kok-. Rene’s hand gripped Vera’s.
“Ugh… Knight?”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Liquor is… Not good… .”
For some reason, I feel nauseous. When I spoke to Vera in that tone, Vera tilted his head and answered.
“Yes. If you are addicted to alcohol, you will become like Rohan, so it is something you should always be on the lookout for.”
evil. Renee’s expression brightened. I was depressed. I was happy. Although tired of the constant ups and downs of emotions, Renee answered Vera’s words with joy in the colors that immediately came to mind.
“Yes?”
“Yes, but why are you asking for alcohol all of a sudden?”
“Yes? Oh, nothing!”
Just right. The cane touched the ground. Renee walked like that with a smile on her face.
Vera continued that thought as he watched Renee burst into laughter.
‘Do you want to drink?’
Perhaps it was too early for René, who was only 14 years old. Vera thought about it.
‘… no. You may.’
Recalling that René was just the age of puberty, he nodded his head slightly to understand.
Aren’t you at the age where you want to look like an adult? It was right for a girl of that age to be curious.
Vera was worried.
If Renee wants it, should I bring her a drink? Either that or I have to push it.
Vera, who had been contemplating for a while, and making his expression hard as a result, shook his head to shake his thoughts away.
‘It’s up to you to decide.’
He had to follow the direction Renee wanted.
