Chapter 116 – Inside Aria and Winter

Although Haru Kang was surrounded by female elves, Arya sat helplessly under the shade of a tree.

“Aria, just like before, don’t be attracted to Kang Haru too much.”

“Tell your lover…”

Because of Haru Kang’s actions, everything she had been close to with Aria for two days was gone. Aria was worried that Haru Kang would find out that I was with her.

“Why are you even doing that?”

“Stop using magic and leave me alone…”

I used her magical powers to create a space to avoid Kang Haru’s eyes, and her holding time was two hours at most.
During that time, I decided to make gold on her aria’s blind love for her river Haru.

“It was difficult to go on alone without you.”

“Haa… You also have a purpose… I was what you needed.”

[Aria’s inner thoughts: It seems like she sees me as a substitute for a day…}

Arya’s inner feelings, which were confirmed by opening her status window at her meaningful words, were already dim, but cracked.

“I’m a wholesome purpose like no one else.”

“Don’t say anything strange…”

Aria’s relationship with Haru Kang has changed a lot because of the video I sent her.
Haru Kang, who used to call Aria by her name when they were in a relationship, didn’t do that anymore.

Mary, Freya, Choi Yuna, and even her biological sister, Kang Ha-eun, Kang Haru often calls other women by their names while having a relationship with Aria.

“A very wholesome purpose to be helped in an elemental transaction…”

“It’s a wholesome purpose… It’s all because of you.”

“Is it because of me?”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t sent the video chip…”

While I was collecting items, resentment and sadness were welling up in Arya’s heart.
Because of her video chip, Aria has long been aware that Haru Kang is watching her other women through her.

—————–
Item: Casanova’s Perfume
-Effect: Receives favor from the person who smells the scent within 30cm.
– Duration: 30 minutes
– Restriction 1. Can be used once.
– Restriction 2. Only works for women.
—————–

“I know that perfume has a strange effect.”

“Take care of it because it calms you down.”

She didn’t know that [Casanova’s Perfume], Which she used twice, would be used up like this, but she couldn’t spare anything to attack Aria.

However, the attempt to fake the effect of [Casanova’s Perfume] And use a new item on Aria was blocked from the start.

“Spirit Stone 6 to 4…”

“Are you still thinking about that?”

Arya’s obsession with her work intensified when Haru Kang interfered with her business without even working.

“How can I trust you?”

“Yes, yes, I’ll give you 6 to 4 spirit stones.”

Even if Arya took all the spirit stones in the elven village, she was confident that she would retrieve them all later.
Even though I am not her child, I continued her conversation by teasing and comforting her, and Aria came within the range of [Casanova’s Perfume].

[Aria smells Casanova’s perfume within 30cm.]

“Doesn’t it smell good?”

“The scent is nice… But I don’t know the effect you said.”

“Wait for a while and when do you think Kang Haru will come back?”

Arya, whose affinity for her increased, stayed still even when I held her hand, and [Her ring of truth] Was put on her finger.

“… I hope you don’t come back.”

—————–
Item: Ring of Truth
– Effect: The wearer will tell the truth unconditionally.
– Duration: Permanent when worn
– Restriction: Can only be used by one person.
—————–

“You… What else did you do…”

“The truth game?”

On my finger was a ring that looked just like the [Ring of Truth]. Of course, there was no effect because it was a replica with the same appearance due to the conversion ability.

Embarrassed that Arya had confided in her, I teleported to the second elf village.

“Aria, do you want to sit on the swing and take the picture again?”

“Picture…?”

In order to see the effect of the [Ring of Truth] Properly, I did everything Arya liked.
While taking pictures of her or sharing drinks and bread, I even told her little anecdotes to cheer her up.

“Winter, why are you being nice to me…? It wasn’t like that in the past.”

“Yeah, we fought a lot in the past.”

In the remaining 10 minutes until [Casanova’s perfume] Disappeared from Aria, who shared her feelings while empathizing with the anecdote, the two of us went into the past.

******

“Aria!!”

“Noisy!!”

Four years ago, 20-year-old Aria and 21-year-old Winter raised their voices, but even Freya, Yuna Choi, and Isilla could not stop the fight.
Winter exploded in anger because of Aria who kept looking for him even though there was no Kang Haru.

“It’s time to stop looking for that bastard Kang Haru and start!”

“Did you say you’re an asshole? Watch your mouth!”

The difference of opinion was not narrowed, and from that day on, the relationship between the two, which was getting worse and worse, was completely torn.

“Winter, to dinner…”

“I’m not going to eat.”

There were ample opportunities to mend the relationship, but Winter did not, and most conversations with Arya lasted no more than two or three words.

******

“I’m also curious, why did only Haru Kang visit me then?”

“I’ll tell you if I answer first.”

Even after [Casanova’s Perfume] Ended, Aria did not take off [Her ring of truth] And told her inner thoughts.

“It was a useless mistake. I was too proud, wasn’t it?”

“Ah… Yes, you’ve been like that since you were little.”

Arya and I were children of the grand duke and the imperial family, so we knew each other from a young age.
It was a scene described very briefly in the novel, but there were quite a lot of parts that Arya remembered.

“I know I did something wrong, but when I tried to apologize to you, I couldn’t because my pride was hurt.”

“Put…!”

“Hey, are you laughing at me again? Do you keep laughing at me when I come here?”

“Sorry… I did it because I could relate to it and it was funny.”

Her pride and hatred of losing were the same as Aria’s.. Little by little, the two of us found common ground, and I came to know Aria’s inner story.

“Because that kills my personality.”

“It’s not what you’re talking about.”

Arya has a cold personality, and she pretended to be with Choi Yuna, Freya, and Aishilla, and her pride was strong, so she hated feeling left out.
For that reason, Arya had to have Kang Haru by her side before she entered the dungeon.

“We talked a lot. Give me the ring back.”

“… Winter, this ring… I want to use it on Haru Kang.”

Now that she’s cleared up the misunderstanding, she’s trying to get her ring back, but Aria said everything she thought about for a moment because of the [Ring of Truth].

“It can only be used by one person.”

“That’s a bit disappointing…”

It was a regret full of sincerity, and I put the video chip in Arya’s hand while getting the ring back.

“Did you steal it this time?”

“I said I didn’t mean to take it…”

Two days ago, in the same place, Aria, who blushed after trying to snatch her video chip, lied as she blushed again.
She did well to get [Her Ring of Truth] Taken away, and Arya returned to her proud, reluctant personality.

“If you see the video chip, give it back or throw it away, or watch it with Haru Kang.”

“I don’t have anything to watch with Kang Haru.”

Aria, dissatisfied with her relationship with Haru Kang, tried to smash her video chip and squeezed it with her hand.

“Aria, if it’s hard, can I hold Kang Haru for today?”

“It’s okay. From yesterday… That’s the day.”

Her female elves weren’t the only influences that Haru Kang left Aria alone.
A day came to Arya that even her healing spells could not solve, and it greatly influenced Haru Kang’s behavior.

Even Haru Kang, who had not had a relationship with Aria, who started the day from yesterday, openly expressed her dissatisfaction.

“If that’s the case…”

“Where do you keep going?”

Arya then sits on the swing as Winter uses the teleport and she operates the ether to enter her photo album.

“Should I say thank you when I come back?”

Aria, who looked around her photo album, said that whenever she looked in the mirror, her face, which had always been cold, had a subtle smile on it.

“It’s chocolate and pomegranate tea. Teas and medicinal herbs used by elves don’t suit people, so I bought this at least.”

“Winter, people say that sudden changes in people lead to death… Be careful.”

“Stop saying things like that, just say thank you.”

“… Thank you. I’ll eat well…”

I handed her premium homemade chocolate and pomegranate tea and went back to her fourth elven village to give Arya a good night’s rest.

“Ah! Aria, before we go to rest, can we increase the trading volume in this town?”

“Yeah, do that.”

As for Arya, when I first watched her words and actions, she was puzzled, but she accepted it purely because it was a situation that benefited her.

“Winter, you can tell me the outcome of the deal tomorrow.”

“Okay. Get some rest and see you tomorrow.”

To improve her relationship with her aria, act on her mood and personality during the day, but not at night.

‘Little night.’

Most of the items I collected were for teaching assistants, and I was also focused on attacking Aria with Soon-ae and teaching assistants.

‘Coming to think of it, it’s strange because they’re childhood friends.’

I’ve been watching since I was little and grew up, so I was like a childhood friend with Aria.
Aria, her proud childhood friend who would rather die than lose, looked forward to seeing her at night.

However, because that day came to Arya, I couldn’t start raiding right away, so I decided to set the order of raiding her in the fifth elven village where Aishila is.

“Haa! I got some gloves. You fucking bastard.”

“Why are you swearing? If you saved me, you saved me.”

While preparing for the teleport to the fifth elf village, he harassed Haru Kang.
Even Aria, who loves Haru Kang, didn’t stop my actions, perhaps because she became sensitive because it was that day.

“I did it because putting my hand on your shoulder was disgusting. Please understand.”

“Teleport or something.”

She put her hand on Haru Kang’s shoulder and took Arya’s hand to move to the elven village where Aishila, her last heroine, is located.

“Isil! La…?”

“Why are you looking for an elf who isn’t out?”

Haru Kang expected Isilla to be waiting for her in the fifth elven village formed around the World Tree, but it was a vain hope.
The elves waiting for us in the fifth village were the elders of the village.

“Welcome.”

“Thank you for the welcome.”

The World Tree was the center of the elves, and you need to be polite to the elders of the village who guard the World Tree to avoid conflict.

“I’ve set up a meeting at four o’clock and dinner.”

“Yes, thanks for the arrangements.”

Now, there are six hours between less than ten o’clock and the meeting time, and I ask Ishila to escort her to her house.

“This is Isilla and her…”

“Isilla!”

Haru Kang didn’t even finish talking to the elder elf, but she stormed into the house and rolled outside with her spirit.

“How rude is this, even if it’s the Emperor’s Majesty!”

“Big! I’m sorry that I used the spirit because I was surprised.”

In the house where Haru Kang jumped out, her parents, not Aishila, walked out together.
To Kang Haru, they were the expectant mother-in-law and father-in-law, but to me, they were the elf and her husband, new target targets.

“Aisilla is…”

“There is no Isilla here!”

“Yes, I beg you to let her go, as I will not be able to meet Aishila.”

And instead of welcoming Haru Kang, the prospective son-in-law, the two of them suppressed her anger and tried to drive Haru Kang out of the village.

‘Is mom right..?’

I was amazed at Aishila’s mother’s beauty and her body, even when Haru Kang received her scoldings and banquets.
She did not appear to be a woman with a daughter over 20 years old, as if to prove that Huturu was not included in the targets of the raid.

‘Is there a saying that this is why married women are the best?’

I took a closer look at the appearance of the elf, Aishila’s mother and her target, and opened the status window.
