Chapter 24 – 22-1. Made This Time.
Returning to her dormitory after lunch with Mirai, Allen notices a letter on her bed.
“Whose letter is this from?”
As she lay in bed, she tore open the envelope and read the contents.
“The handwriting is pretty. But what did you prepare to write and send it with such care?”
Just look at Cordelia. No matter what anyone said, there were only three people who knew Cordelia’s penmanship and secret space.
‘But it’s a bit like breaking into a student’s room… No, I’m not in a position to tell others either. It’s eight o’clock in the evening…’
The content of the letter was extremely simple.
‘Come alone to the secret space until eight o’clock in the evening. You’ll know if I break it, right?’
“You’re cute, my Cordelia sister. That’s how it should be. I’ll have to hang out with you.”
Allen folded her letter and put it on the mattress under her bed, giving him a lovely, dying smile.
“Ugh geug geuk…!!”
Lying on her bed, Allen stretched her body out and her eyelids began to feel heavy as she groaned.
“Ah… Suddenly I’m fucking sleepy… O’clock…P…”
****
“Where else is this?”
When she opened her eyes, she was covered in black all around her.
Just because she was, it didn’t mean she was blind. A space where you feel a sense of alienation.
However, the black space is also temporary. Like a hot haze, the entire space began to shake, and then slowly changed into something else.
‘What. I must have been sleeping… Oh, is it a dream? Is this a lucid dream?’
Allen said that for the first time she realized that she was a dream and she thought about something she wanted and she wanted it to come true…
“Fuck. It doesn’t work. I thought they said anything was possible if it was a lucid dream…”
Allen swears softly. For a moment, without knowing why, the space was vibrating and collapsing like a mirror that had lost its broken light.
A large volcanic area that makes you sweat just by looking at it when the darkness recedes.
Perhaps it was a volcano that was still active, it was so hot that it felt like it was burned just by touching it, and above all, it soared high.
The gray mountain reaching the end of the sky through the clouds was so high that one could lose a sense of distance just by looking at it.
“Wow… That’s damn high…”
She lifted her head and looked at the large gray mountain for a long time, then suddenly her body rose up against her will, and soon her feet did not touch the ground.
“Huh? What, muyangaaaaa!?”
Her body lifted into the air, defying gravity at breakneck speed, as if someone were pulling Allen up the top of the gray mountain.
As she reached the large crater, her body found freedom. But it wasn’t fortunate.
A huge dragon looking down at Allen from inside a crater where he never expected life to exist.
The scales, redder than blood and hotter than lava, cannot be pierced by any weapon in the world.
Not even ashes were left of those struck by the breath of flames that were so fierce that even a small breath could turn a city into an inferno.
[It’s you. The man with the ring]
In an instant, the heavy, low, heavy mana-laden words hit my ears as if my eardrums would explode.
“Fuck…!!!”
[You’re a stronger person than I thought. Any other human would have bled to death on the spot]
It was fortunate that she strengthened her body with mana as soon as she heard the dragon words.
Above all, it is difficult to barely stand in front of a gigantic being…!
A feeling of pressure that knows no end. Something invisible is pressing on my body.
[You manage to hold on. That should be enough to use the ring I made]
The humiliation and defeat experienced for the first time after being possessed by another world.
Allen was conceited that he could avoid his own death, since he had beaten the game many times anyway.
[You’re spreading your thoughts with me in front of you. You’re a man with a lot of guts. It’s enough for today, then bye bye]
A huge shadow covering Arlen, who barely stood still, wrapped in mana.
And falling at a furious speed, Allen couldn’t avoid it as it was…
“Sir, fuck!!?”
Allen, who was lying on his bed in the dormitory, jumps up while swearing.
“What, what was it? I think I had a fucking scary dream… I can’t remember…”
She was Allen who awakened her awareness from unconsciousness, but it seems that she has not fully awakened yet.
“Now… Ah. It’s fucking late…”
****
“Late.”
It is eight o’clock in the evening.
Cordelia sat in her chair, crossed her legs, and looked at the watch on her wrist. She was both annoyed and worried that something had happened to Allen, who hadn’t come yet.
If you’re nervous, you’re nervous. If she said she was angry, her anger would change from side to side, so if someone else saw it, she would have suspected that she had bipolar disorder.
Jump!
“Nuh, sorry for being late!!”
At this time, Allen hurriedly opened the door and ran to Cordelia, saying he was sorry.
“What were you doing that you couldn’t keep the appointment time for? If it’s a good reason, I’ll treat you favorably.”
“I slept because I was tired from studying all night!”
“It would be wonderful if that was true. But what if it’s a lie?”
“The results will prove it. And I’ve been studying pretty hard and I’m aiming for first place in my grade.”
“If it’s you, it’s definitely possible to win first place. So is that all?”
“Yes?”
Allen woke up at 7:58 in the evening.
At first, I woke up not remembering the dream I met with the dragon, but as soon as I looked at the clock, the time I promised had already passed… It piled up and I was late! It’s an excuse called…
‘It doesn’t work… 2 weeks is half…’
“Okay. I tried to extend the week as promised. I’ll just watch it for today. First place in the grade.”
“Oh, go, thank you? No, thank you, Cordelia.”
“But instead of extending the period, shouldn’t we be punished differently?”
I thought it would be easy… It’s not.
“Uh, what kind of punishment…?”
“When you open the closet, there are two sets of clothes. Change into the one you like.”
“Ah, I see.”
Cordelia points to the closet. I suddenly felt uneasy.
‘Last time I was staring at myself dressed as a woman… Shit… I can’t believe it?’
Unknowingly, in front of the closet, I started to get nervous about what clothes were in the closet.
‘I’d like a glass of water…’
“Don’t procrastinate, hurry up!”
“Oh, okay!”
Unable to overcome Cordelia’s back, I opened the closet.
“Butler’s clothes… Is that? And this…”
He let out a sigh of relief and at the same time he let out a sigh of despair. Of course, it’s not that I’m against wearing women’s clothing, but for some reason I’m not at ease.
“Hurry up and jump in front of me. I’ll give you 5 minutes.”
I answered by opening the closet and taking out the butler’s uniform from among the two suits hanging on the hanger.
“I see, Sister Cordelia.”
As I casually threw off her school uniform, I heard Cordelia clearing her throat.
It seemed to be a signal to change clothes in a normal place, not shame.
Reluctantly, I left the school uniform top I had taken off, went into the changing room, quickly took off the school uniform pants and put on the hanging butler uniform.
“Oh, fuck… I’m so damn cool. I’m going to go nuts if I do this.”
Like Allen’s frivolous words. If someone else saw Allen in a butler’s uniform, they might fall in love at first sight.
Strong body and broad shoulders. And the sharp appearance and superior height.
Muscles, looks, height. It’s literally a trinity away.
“Ah, don’t be late.”
Self-absorption for a while. Allen hurried out of her locker room and stood in front of Cordelia, waiting for her to open her mouth.
“Black tea.”
“Yes!”
She stayed still for a while, and then, as if her throat was quite dry, she spoke only of her black tea in an indifferent tone, and Allen rushed to her kitchen.
“Obviously this combination was the best.”
I wanted to pick out the branded leaves to Cordelia’s taste and make black tea quickly, but I was in no hurry.
‘I don’t want to boil it again because of pointless faults…’
After finishing her preparations, Allen puts tableware and tea on a cart covered with white tablecloths and goes to Cordelia.
As I poured the branded black tea into Cordelia’s teacup, Cordelia’s slightly hardened face seemed to have loosened up a little, as if her profound scent naturally made me feel better.
“Allen.”
“Yes.”
“When you wear a butler’s uniform, call me lady.”
“Yes, Miss Cordelia.”
“And why did you choose the butler’s uniform?”
“Yes?”
She did not understand the meaning of Cordelia’s words as she savored the aroma and taste of the black tea.
‘No… What kind of expression is that confident? I really… I don’t even have a bad temper…’
“Immediately change into maid’s clothes instead of butler’s clothes.”
Putting down the teacup, Cordelia looked at me with an expressionless expression… Handmaid… Ha… Shit.
‘How come your tastes are major… Fuck.’
