Chapter 154 – The Trial of Nistrond and the Naked Half-Elf

Bella’s sudden words shook his composure, albeit briefly.
It was a voice whispered in their ear, so my lovers didn’t seem to hear what Bella asked for.

“Kuhmm…!”
“What the hell is that bad whisper? Should I call you Fox instead of Bugilma?”

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard!
The lovers could not help but see what Bella was whispering to me at a distance where they could reach each other.
Rebecca just looked at Bella with a cold expression, but Kate was different. He strides directly over her and lands on Bella’s shoulder! She did and raised her hand.

“Hey, Bugilma-nim? What did you just say to our Mongma-nim? You’re not acting strangely while my sister and I are staring at each other right next to you, right?”

In an instant, a tingling tension flowed in the storage room. I tried to mediate properly before it was too late, but something unexpected happened.
Bella stepped away from me and she revealed what she had just said without missing a word.

“I thought you two would like to have a meal together?”
“What did you say?!”

She said it so confidently that not only Kate but also I, who was listening next to her, were taken aback.
What the hell is Bella thinking?
Are you trying to proudly declare that you will NTR me in front of your lovers? Maybe it was because of the cancellation of the contract with Ninggard.

“This, this fox-like Bugilma…!”
“Kay fighting! Don’t back down!”

Rebecca watched from behind her as if from her throne, as Kate confronted her Bella head-on. As expected of her homeroom hostess, she didn’t step forward to save her face, but rather put Kate first.
If Bella defeats Kate, she will then face off against her final boss, Rebecca.
You could say it’s a mountain beyond a mountain.

2v1.
It was an overwhelmingly unfavorable composition, but Bella never showed weakness. Conversely, she overcame the disadvantage of her numbers by displaying her intelligence.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. The reason I asked Luke to eat wasn’t a date. It was because I wanted to become friends with the only magician in the guild. I don’t particularly see Luke as a man.”

Bella’s words sounded quite convincing to me. It is a plausible statement that it is a meal to simply strengthen friendship, not to build friendship between men and women.
To be honest, I don’t even know what feelings this black-haired beauty has for me in the first place.
She thinks they became close while performing together or escorting them.
But she’s a woman who doesn’t express much emotion, so you should know what she’s thinking.

“If you’re feeling uneasy, everyone should eat together, right? You, who are Mr. Luke’s regular party, are also a valuable force in the adventurer’s guild.”
“That’s great! Me and my sister are going too!”
“After the escort quest is over, I’ll introduce you to a good restaurant when I return to Yoensu. Let’s have a group dinner.”

In the end, she tried stabbing her to eat alone, but it turned out to be eating together. However, even after the promise was over, a tingling energy flowed between Bella and Kate, like sparks. Like a battle between a dragon and a tiger, the two women tried not to back down even an inch with me in between.

“You should know it well! I’m in control of the dreamer-!!”
“Are you using the expression dominating your boyfriend? You suddenly feel sorry for Luke.”

But in the end, Bella and Kate had no choice but to withdraw from my side.
Nistrond, who was competing with me, suddenly began to emit a great cold wave.

Whii-i-i-!!

“Aaaaagh! Chu, it’s cold!”
“Ah, what is it all of a sudden? It looks like the wand is getting angry.”

The heart-freezing cold forced Bella and Kate to stay away from me. I understood somewhat of Nistrond’s heart, who suddenly let out a chill like mad.

‘Honestly, I’ll have to listen to the opinions of the magic wand!’

I was giving him a serious trial when women suddenly appeared and started fighting for love. Nistrond, who had become the Overseer, was quite angry.
Thanks to that, I was able to see an extraordinary scenery with a water whip wrapped around his body.

Squeeze!
The water whip quickly froze from the tip. The fluid that formed the shape of the whip completely froze and did not obey my will. If I stayed still, even the hand holding the water whip would freeze, so I quickly let go of the water whip.

The cold wave got so strong that I honestly couldn’t let the others watch it anymore. I don’t mind staying at the temple, but it’s a big deal if my escort Bella or my lovers catch a cold.

“I want to be alone, everyone please leave the room! It might be dangerous!”
“Wowaaaaa! It’s cold! Dreamy-sama, do your best!”
“Luke! You can’t lose to a wand!”

The party who were watching from inside the storage room shivered and left the room. Before I knew it, only me and Nistrond were left in the storage room. Now, you can say that the true meaning of the ordeal has begun. There were no lovers to watch over from the side anymore.

Whii-i-i-!!
Nistrond’s ordeal never ended with a cold or freeze. In the storage room, thick snowflakes began to flutter in all directions. It wasn’t snow falling from the sky, it was artificial snow created by Nistrond.

‘You can make a blizzard happen? What the hell is that magic wand?’

Snowstorm!
Now, thick snowflakes flew incessantly toward me. In the blink of an eye, the inside of the storage room was covered with snow, and white breath escaped from my breathing.

“Kuk!”

It was really winter.
From within the vault, Nistrond summoned Winter. It was difficult for me to see straight ahead because of the raging snowstorm. However, it is only when you overcome these difficulties that you can awaken as a rune mage.

‘I can’t live as a third-rate wizard for the rest of my life!’

My rank as a wizard is third-rate!
In order to get rid of this third-rate label, he is willing to sell even his soul. To be honest, even if I go around bragging about myself as a third-rate wizard, the tone is really bad.

“Suck!”

I raised my magical energy and poured all my magic at Nistrond, who was faintly visible in the distance. The assault continued until dawn the next day.

*

The morning was bright.
About 12 hours had passed since we started attacking Nistrond. Of course, as expected of an ordeal that would take a fortnight to pass, Nistrond was still stuck to the ground and holding on firmly.
I skipped sleeping and focused on attacking him, but I had no choice but to take a break.

It’s meal time.
Three meals a day, the Ninggard side is supposed to feed me. If I skipped meals and used magic, I would really die of exhaustion. I had no choice but to eat as much as rice.

‘It’s free food, but I can’t eat it, right?’

People say that if you like free things, you will go bald, but as a person from another world, I have been a glutton since I was born. The hair roots are very strong, so even if you pull hard, not a single strand falls out. So, you can enjoy it for free.

Smart!

“Hey, Dreamcatcher! I brought you some food!”

Soon, a member of the Ninggard brought me breakfast.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just an attendant, but a silver-haired half-elf of noble birth. Delia, the daughter of the CEO, delivered a meal for me.
The moment the storage room door opened and Delia entered, I couldn’t understand why that little boy was only delivering meals.

“Why does Delia bring food? She has a lot of attendants working here.”
“You can legally escape the lab! You can goof around while I bring you food!”

Hearing Delia’s words, he immediately understood.
It was the Ninggard organization that overworked the members to the extent that the calendar inside the temple was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday. Even though she was the daughter of the head of the temple, she was no exception. Dark circles were already visible under Delia’s eyes. It’s only been a day since she arrived at the temple, but she seems to have worked pretty hard in the lab.

“You seem to have escaped from the lab.”
“So I’m going to take a break here. Since I’m bored, let’s talk while eating together.”
“Let’s eat together? Is this for one person?”
“You have to pay for the delivery you brought.”

Delia passed me the tray of her meal and she quickly took away the dessert or something. She was slightly taken aback by the half-elf’s audacity to steal her meal right in front of her eyes.
Is there no shame in becoming the successor of Ninggard?

“Excuse me.”

But even if I paid attention to it, Delia rather responded by saying, “What should I do?”

“Yum yum. What are you complaining about? After all, all the food from this temple is mine. I’ll have to eat the cheesecake and chocolate balls.”

The silver-haired half-elf stuffed the dessert into his mouth while puffing out his cheeks like a squirrel. Having all the desserts taken away in an instant, I truly had a bad night.

‘This Kampnyeon is fucking shit again!’

While receiving a polite apology, she thought that we would get along well with each other in the future, but it wasn’t.
This half-elf kid was the type to pull aggro like breathing.

Yes, maybe we can share some dessert with the delivery fee.
But if you brush your mouth like that, you have no choice but to have a good night.

Shaking.
I asked Delia, restraining her clenched fist as if to calm down the Black Flame Dragon.

“Delia. You’re 20 years old, aren’t you acting like a child? You look young, and I’d believe it if you said you were 15. Actually, you’re 20 years old and you’re younger, right?”

A cheeky half-elf kid with huge fucking tits.
It’s to the point where I want to abuse not only my hair but also my breasts with honey balm. But after hearing Delia’s words, I felt even more absurd.

“You’re 20 years old. But since you’re a half-elf, it doesn’t matter if you act like a child, right?”
“What?”
“Twenty years old by half-elven standards is seven years old in human age. The average half-elf lifespan is 300 years.

Seven years old in terms of human age?
What kind of fucking logic is this?
I was speechless because I didn’t know that a person from another world would refute with such bizarre logic. It was cold inside the storage room, but thanks to Delia, her blood pressure rose and her body warmed up.

“No shit. So, did you waste your age by living for 20 years?”
“Don’t be angry, you’ve developed a half-elf sensitivity!”
“Ahhhhh…”

If I had any more conversations, my dreamy sensibility might burst out and abuse my breasts. I kept my mouth shut and ate the breakfast on the tray. Dessert portion was completely gone, so the quantity was insufficient.

Didn’t you say that even dogs won’t touch you when you eat?
Fortunately, Nistrond stopped the blizzard while I was eating. When it was time to eat, I was able to eat without any threatening behavior.
But Kamp didn’t know a proverb that even a wand knew.
It was because I was constantly pulling aggro from the side.

“I was also tested by a quarter staff just like you in the past. At that time, it took only three weeks for me to pass the test.”
“So what?”
“I heard you said something funny yesterday? You told Bella that you would pass the quarterstaff test in 15 days. That’s actually an almost impossible record.”

Delia added her words with a serious expression.

“Only those who have the qualifications to become great wizards can pass the ordeal in 15 days. I, the heir of Ninggard, couldn’t do it, so what can someone else do?”

It is a tone that concludes that it is impossible to pass in 15 days.
I got a fever for no reason and told Delia.

“What if I pass the ordeal in 15 days?”
“There’s no way something stupid like that would ever happen.”
“Would you like to make a bet? How long will it take me to pass the ordeal?

A bet on the right to wish.
I accidentally asked Delia for such a terrifying bet. Delia thought she would win, so she accepted the bet.

“Okay! If I lose, I’ll do anything for you! I’ll do whatever it takes to apologize to you naked!”
“Okay. If I win, apologize naked like an elf blood. You must be naked. Okay?”
“Hick! Gee, are you really naked?”
“Yes.”

The Half-Elf’s Naked Dogeja!
As soon as she heard my answer, Delia’s expression stiffened for a moment. But she soon let go of her expression and she looked at me with a confident face.

“Okay. Let’s make a bet. Whether you can pass the ordeal in fifteen days.”
“I have to apologize naked in front of everyone else, not just me. Is that okay?”
“Muh, of course!”

So me and Delia made an insane bet on her naked apology.
