Chapter 352 – The Half-Elf Song of Love #2

I know there is something I really want to say.
Why is he holding a lute?
Isn’t it comfortable to put down the instrument and talk?

I asked Delia.

“Wouldn’t it be better to put down the lute and talk?”
“No! It can never happen. Everything I want to say is contained in the song. From now on, I will sing a song that contains my feelings for my brother.”

Delia let out an awkward laugh and plucked the strings of her lute. The moment her fingers touched the strings, a pretty plausible tune flowed out. It must have been true that elves learn to play musical instruments from an early age.

“Eh, is it a song that puts your heart into it?”
“I can’t help but cringe! This is a tradition for elves like me. I’ve been trying to compose lyrics without sleeping since last night. Can’t you see the papers in the trash over there?”

Delia pointed her finger at the trash can in her hospital room.
Inside the trash can, there was a heap of papers lined with text. Since she said she wrote the lyrics, maybe there are lyrics written by Endelia in her essay?

It was composed by a young half-elf full of sensitivity.
She wondered what it was about, but couldn’t read the discarded lyrics accurately. It was because the moment I looked closely, Delia had closed the lid on her trash can.

“Well, those are failures, so don’t look at them. I think I’m going to die of shame.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t see you. But don’t feelings toward me mean loyalty? You were loyal when I handed you the handkerchief the other day.”

The handkerchief that Delia gave me the other day was an item containing loyalty, just as Valentine’s chocolate is divided into love and loyalty. She asked just in case, but Delia shook her head.

“Even then, I actually lied.
“It was a lie? I thought the handkerchief contained loyalty.”
“Sorry for confusing you.”
“So you…”

I swallowed the words that followed.
If it wasn’t for loyalty, what kind of heart would have been in the handkerchief? She had the same feelings as Delia, like noble ladies who send their loved ones away to war.

“…Ah.”

The moment I realized the truth, my heart was shaken.
It was hard to face Delia staring at me while holding her lute.
Because she was the image of a woman who was in love right now.

‘Delia likes me?’

In fact, she didn’t know Delia’s heart at all. However, she thought that rather than liking me as a man, she would follow me more like her real brother. It wasn’t because she liked that she always played pranks on me, or that she secretly took care of me, because Delia had denied it many times.

‘So what’s going on? I’m a Wiseman.’

I approached the window with a puzzled expression.
To say that the successor of Nine Gard came to like the descendant of the demon king, shouldn’t she accept her heart?

The wizards of Ninggard regard Wiseman as their nemesis.
I am afraid of what will happen if the truth about my birth is revealed.

“…”

It was when I was contemplating with my back turned to the window, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, the sound of a lute playing a melody rang out from behind. Hearing the skillful plucking of the strings, he naturally had no choice but to look at Delia.

Now I understand why elves learn to play musical instruments.
It was to sing a song when confessing to someone you love. It couldn’t be anything other than a romantic confession, befitting elves who live in nature.

Delia, then, is playing a performance she has been rehearsing for her first love all her life.
Only for me

“Is that your first time playing?”
“Of course, this is the first time I’ve heard it properly for a man. Oppa is my first love.”

Something hot welled up in her chest and choked her.
Since it is said to be a song to fulfill her first love, I can feel how hard she prepared for her performance.

The melody of the lyrical lute echoes incessantly.
Before long, Delia’s song was heard.

“I realized it while thinking of you every day
If you leave, I’ll be alone tonight
I can’t stop sighing.”

It was a song that appealed directly to my heart.
The moment I heard her first words, I couldn’t take my eyes off Delia.
Because I thought that her story was contained in the song.

“I fell in love with you like magic
A heart I didn’t know, love for the first time
Now I want to be honest.」

The warm sunlight streamed in from her window and illuminated Delia. Delia looked like a fairy as she sang to me in a pure white dress. Even though the sun was shining brightly on her, Delia was just singing.

“I miss you, I miss you again
I want you to stay by my side
You don’t know how much I like it
I don’t know what you’ll think”

The lute’s melody grew louder and louder, and my heart raced.
Delia’s fingers quickened as she plucked her strings.

The lyrics that convey the feelings of an adolescent girl, a sincere confession without grandiose adjectives, and her voice that calls me anxiously.

Throbbing.

My heart is pounding and I think I’m going crazy
Delia raised her head and looked at me.
The moment our eyes met, it felt as if our hearts were connected.

“Every time I see you, my heart beats
I think my mind is broken
I will endure shame and confess
I like you.”

The roaring melody of the lute came to an end.
Delia confessed to me with her sincere heart.

“I like you, Brother Luke.”

Her voice resonated clearly in the hospital room.
It was the first time in my life that I received a confession through a song with a deep heart.

I’m in love.
It was a great shock, as if my heart had been pierced by an arrow.

Delia asked me cautiously.

“…Is the song okay?”
“Huh? Uhh… It was really good.”
“I’m glad your brother likes you.”

Of course it’s okay!
I sang a song that put my heart into it, and I can’t help but be moved.

“…It’s okay.”

I nodded her head, and tears welled up in Delia’s eyes.
She was Delia, who always put her pride first in front of me, but she couldn’t seem to hold back her tears now.
Delia put her lute down on the bed and she got up and came over to me.

“Are you crying right now?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Stupid.”

Delia wiped her eyes with her sleeve, then reached out and pulled my arm.
She pulled so deep without stopping that my hand ended up on top of her chest.

“Luke, can you feel my heart beating?”
“It feels good.”

I could feel her heartbeat on top of Delia’s soft breasts, where my hands were pressed against her.
I can feel her love for me as much as her heart beats.

“So what are you going to do?”
“What do you do?”
“Right now, oppa is courted by a half-elf. What I just sang was a courtship song. You choose whether to accept my heart or not.”

Is it a love song?
What a romantic song.

Delia closed her eyes as she demanded an answer from me.

There is nothing to worry about.
Because my answer has already been decided.

Whether it’s the descendant of the demon king or the successor of Ninggard.
It’s not Romeo and Juliet, why should we be bound by origins?

Anyway, I planned to drag the secret of being born as a descendant of the demon king to the grave.
We will destroy the weasel family and be freed from the cursed fate.

Hearing the song of courtship, he was able to make decisions.
I have a girl who loves me and she just doesn’t want to give up because she’s just from scratch.

Addressed her to Delia, who closed her eyes.

“You can open your eyes now. I made a choice.”
“Really? Are you accepting my heart?”
“Well…”

But I’m sorry to say that I just accepted it.
How many times have you been beaten by this half elf?

Like making them horny by showing their panties when they are alone, or making them excited by pretending to kiss with a snack bar.
In her many ways, she has a lot accumulated.

I opened my mouth with a pensive expression.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think so.”
“What?!”

Delia screams in shock at being told no.
Delia let go of her air of pretending to be cool and she clung to me.

“Why! What am I missing? If my brother tells me, I’ll fix it right away! I even said I like the song, but why are you saying I can’t do it now?”
“There’s a difference between having a good song and accepting your heart.”
“Hey! If you come out like that, there’s nothing to say …! I can’t play my brother for a while? But I can play with a favorite person! !”

Delia finally panicked and started blaming herself.
He tugged at her silver hair and let out a voice full of regret.

“Hey heck… I’ll do it in moderation…! Idiot, idiot! But what should I do with my brother’s good stuff!”

If she teased her any more, Delia is about to jump out of her window.
I decided to end the joke here.

“You seem to be misunderstanding, Delia.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think it’s okay to reject your heart…”

I couldn’t stand it, so I stopped laughing at her without realizing it.
Delia must have finally realized that I was playing a prank.
Her face turned bright red.

“Hey!! Are you playing with people’s hearts right now?”
“How does it feel to be pranked on?”
“Ugh…”

Delia opened her mouth with a mumble as I brazenly stepped forward.

“…That’s not bad. Anyway, you accepted the confession.”
“Right.”
“Because today is the 1st, take note of it. Don’t say too much about the details.”

Delia raised her hand towards me.
It was she who made the shape of her heart with both her hands.

“Because Luke is my first love!”
