“Huh… Haha…”
“Hmm… I endured it pretty well considering it was my first time.”
Sirpe was sprawled out on the bed, covered in sweat. Almost exhausted. Still, she maintained her sanity until Minwoo was somewhat satisfied, so it could be said that she had better mental strength than most women.
Minwoo put on her clothes and stood up.
“This concludes the one-on-one training. The actual training begins tomorrow. Let’s bring the children and teach them ourselves.”
“Whoa… Haaaaa…”
“Hehe… I guess I can’t hear you.”
Minwoo chuckled and left the room. Sirpe could not come out of the room until the sun set that day.
…
Last night, when she went to the girls’ dormitory, her older sister Lucia was absent. But soon after I gave up looking for her sister and returned to the dormitory, her communication port rang. She was my older sister.
When asked where she had been, she replied that her sister had been taking a short walk around campus. I tilted her head. Yesterday, for such a long time, she walked all over her campus looking for her sister her, but she couldn’t find her … But she couldn’t even think that her sister she was lying . This school is quite large… So it wouldn’t be strange if we couldn’t run into each other by chance.
However, what was the reason why her older sister’s face she looked gaunt for some reason beyond her communication her port her her her?
Unlike other aspiring wizards who generally neglect their physical training, Sister Lucia does not neglect her physical training either. So it was quite rare for her to see her older sister looking so exhausted. She is such an older sister that even at a glance she looks tired …
Of course, she has seen her sister like that once recently.
She was right when I first went with her to the infirmary…
When she came out from behind the curtain and received a physical examination from Minwoo, she had the exact same face as her older sister.
“…”
I stopped thinking about it any further. I definitely checked the health room yesterday. Minwoo was the only one there, and obviously his sister didn’t come. And today’s older sister was also my usual older sister.
Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like I went to see Minwoo today… But I guess it doesn’t matter because I didn’t hear that it was something that happened every day.
“Ha… Let’s go get dinner.”
I left the room and headed to the restaurant.
…
At the restaurant, I encountered an unexpected combination.
“Ronius…”
“Oh..! Ronius! You came quite late too. “Were you sleeping?”
“Sister? Pale too… And…”
“Hey.”
“Minwoo…”
Surprisingly, Lucia, Pale, and Minwoo were eating together at the restaurant. I was so taken aback by the sight that I even forgot to go to the food table for a moment.
It was Pale who woke me up.
“What are you doing? Bring something to eat. Let’s eat together. We just started eating too.”
“Huh? Uh…”
I headed to the meal table in an awkward state, unable to properly understand the situation.
The restaurant was basically a buffet style, so you could choose as much food as you wanted. After roughly choosing a dish, I joined the table where three people were sitting. Perhaps because it was close to closing time, there weren’t many other students in the cafeteria.
The table was basically set up so that two people could sit side by side for autograph purposes. Sister Lucia and Minwoo were sitting side by side, and Pale was sitting across from Minwoo. I naturally sat across from my older sister.
“What is it? Ronius. Isn’t the amount too small even though you are in your prime?”
“Ah, I don’t have an appetite today…”
Pale said something after seeing my plate, but I just brushed it off. And I unconsciously saw my sister’s face her her her her. Actually, what I just said was something my older sister would have said rather than Pale… But for some reason, older sister Lucia didn’t point out anything about my small amount of food.
“By the way, Minwoo… I’m talking about what you said earlier… “
“Oh, that… Do you want to keep listening to it?”
“Uh. Ronius, aren’t you worried too?”
“..You have to tell me what’s going on so you know.”
“It’s a story about the world where warriors lived.”
“The world of warriors?”
My eyes widened at the unexpected word. The world where warriors lived…? How does Minwoo know that?
When I looked curious, Pale spoke in a boastful voice.
“Hehe, actually, I made up my mind and asked Minwoo directly. He said to be a recommender of His Majesty the Emperor, but no one knows the specific relationship, right? That’s why I asked about that.”
“Huh…”
I was surprised by Pale’s boldness of her and turned to look at Minwoo. Minwoo shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s nothing to hide.”
“What do you mean?”
Pale next to me answered my question.
“Minwoo came from the same world as the warriors.”
“What, what..?”
A person from the same world as the hero… Doesn’t that mean he is the hero himself?
But Minwoo denied that part.
“Although we are from the same world, I am not a hero. Unlike the heroes, I do not have any special powers. I just came to this world together as a side effect of the hero summoning ritual. So it was confusing at first, but now I am the emperor. I am living this well thanks to Your Majesty.”
“I see…”
“So, you don’t have to be too difficult when dealing with me. I’ve already started school, and I want to make a lot of friends.”
“…”
I silently nodded to Minwoo’s story. Indeed … Everyone thought that he might have the blood of a warrior because of his black hair his his … But we could never have imagined that he was from that world.
It was a bit embarrassing, but it wasn’t an unconvincing story. Actually, I heard that this hero summoning ritual had many variables. In addition to the fact that four warriors were summoned, I understand that His Majesty’s husband also came over in a similar way to Min-woo.
Pale continued.
“So, I’ve been hearing from Minwoo about what that world is like. And it’s really interesting. Isn’t that right, student council president?”
“…”
“Hey… Student council president..?”
“Uh, huh..? Uh, uhh… Right…”
“?”
Pale and I tilted our heads as we looked at Lucia, who seemed to be floating around, unable to join in on the conversation for some reason. I’m only saying this now, but my older sister’s appearance was a bit strange earlier. If you were a normal older sister, you would always be leading the mood in any situation.
..Huh?
While I was taking a close look at Lucia, I noticed that her cheeks were quite flushed.
I asked my sister.
“What’s wrong, sister? Is there something uncomfortable about you?”
“Huh? Oh, no… It’s okay.”
“For that matter… It looks like you have a bit of a fever…”
“No… It’s really okay…”
“…”
They said it was okay, but it was still strange. Cheeks are red, as if someone has a cold.
I stood up and placed my hand on my sister’s forehead.
“Hyaan..!?”
“..!”
Then, older sister Lucia let out a strange moaning sound, flinched, and her body trembled. Then she hurriedly avoided my hand. As I froze at her reaction, her older sister realized what she was doing only belatedly and covered her mouth with her own hand.
“Ah…”
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. A moment of silence. But first, I bowed my head and apologized to my sister.
“I’m sorry…”
“No… It’s okay…”
My sister and I sat down again. The awkward air flowed again.
“Uh… First of all, I want to continue listening to Minwoo’s story.”
“Ah..! That’s right, Minwoo. Come on and tell me the story. I’m curious too.”
As Pale began to raise his voice as if trying to somehow disperse the heavy air, I quickly joined in with it. Then Minwoo nodded his head and started talking. While listening to Minwoo’s story, I decided to continue to monitor my sister’s condition her her her.
“Well… Since Ronius is here, let me briefly explain it again. Unlike here, the world I lived in does not have magic. No, to be precise, there is no magic at all.”
“I can’t believe it when I hear it again. Don’t you, Ronius?”
“Well, that’s right… How can that be? All living things must innately have magical powers from the moment they are born.”
Minwoo’s continuing story was so mysterious that even I, who had no interest at first, found it fascinating. Before I knew it, I had forgotten about watching my sister and was listening to Minwoo’s story.
“Now that I think about it, there was an item similar to the one used by Ronius and the student council president. It was something that allowed people from far away to see each other’s faces or talk to each other.”
“Ah… That’s…”
“Huh? Is there such a thing?”
“Ah… Pale didn’t know? I made a mistake.”
My sister and I said, Oops. The existence of the communication port is unknown to anyone other than my older sister and I at school and the maids who live with us…
“It’s okay. I can trust Pale.”
“What, what? What’s wrong?”
In the end, I simply taught Pale about the existence of the communication port. Pale nodded her head and looked curious.
“Indeed… Such an item… Well, if my father is that magic tower lord, then it wouldn’t be surprising…”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Fortunately, Pale decided to keep quiet about the existence of the communication port. To begin with, he didn’t seem very interested. My sister and I were heartbroken.
“Rather, I want to continue listening to Minwoo’s story. You said there was a similar item, right?”
“Yes. In the place where I lived, there were many useful items that did not have magical power, but because science was developed. Among them, there was an item that functioned as a communication tool for two people. It had many other functions, such as taking pictures, etc. It is also possible to take video…”
“Photo? Video?”
The more I listened, the more mysterious Minwoo’s story became. Technology that records what the eyes see, vehicles that are much faster than horses, objects that can carry hundreds of people and fly in the sky, etc. Moreover, the most surprising thing was that these things were not special at all, and everyone had them or could easily use them.
There were many other interesting stories, so Pale and I were so absorbed in his story that we even forgot to eat.
“So…”
As the story was ripening, a light incident occurred.
“Hugh..!”
Boom!
“Who, sister..?”
Suddenly, there was a sound of the table hitting something, and the glass of water in front of my sister fell over. And coincidentally, the water poured towards my sister, and the front of the school uniform she was wearing got seriously wet.
“Oh my…”
“Are you okay, sister?”
“Uh, yeah… I’m sorry. I accidentally hit the table with my knee…”
“Ah…”
“I’m sorry, Ronius. I’ll go back first…”
“Huh? Nu, older sister..!”
My sister hurriedly got up from her seat with a still flushed face and left the restaurant without even looking back. The rest of us just stared blankly at the back.
“Uh… Should we stop going? It’s almost time to use the restaurant…”
“..Yeah.”
Soon, we too followed our older sister and had a breakup.
