Chapter 117 – You Have to Be Patient.

“I’ll stop here for today.”

After the liberal arts class was over, the cadets of the Knights Faculty except for themselves gathered together in search of their own company.

Since there were no undergraduates coming to her anyway, Chloe packed her things and quickly left the classroom.

‘It’s finally over…!’

Chloe’s most awaited time at the academy starts now! It’s lunch time.

It’s not because I have a gluttonous appetite for food, but because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my friends.

If the wave of life flows with this feeling for the rest of my life, making a pleasant sound, I don’t think I will have a wish.

“Hehe~”

Steps toward the place to meet friends at lunchtime.

Maybe it’s because my brother made me feel lighter, but when I think of the faces of my friends, I smile unusually today.

Two of his only friends are completely opposite and have their own characteristics and colors.

Everyone has things that they don’t have, so there’s always a lot to learn when they have a seat, even lightly.

One is not only good looking, but her purple eyes reminiscent of jewels are especially beautiful.

The attitude of revealing the scars on the face that one would not be proud of, and the strong mentality that is unconstrained by the gaze of others, are admired and admired naturally.

Unlike the cynical atmosphere that doesn’t reveal much emotion, when you talk, you can see a twisted attitude of thinking about them in your speech.

If you notice the inner meaning, you will be moved a step later, and the charm that makes you chew on it is truly frightening.

Another person would say that the cute appearance reminiscent of a small animal and the strong energy that emits a green light like a green plant are the best charm.

The sociability that allows him to approach others without hesitation unlike himself, and the enthusiasm he shows in practice classes are enough to make anyone stick out his tongue.

Even though it is a style that strongly expresses emotions and vitality to the outside.

I want to learn even a little bit because the ability to notice and stop at critical moments is completely opposite to myself, who sometimes crosses the line alone in excitement or excitement.

“…!”

As he headed towards the meeting place, he saw two figures waiting for him. Speed ​​up your steps and get closer.

“Did you wait? They said it would come out as soon as possible…”

“We just came too~”

Seria’s lively voice makes you smile naturally.

“How about lunch?”

Using Rike’s words as a signal, leave your seat and head to the center of the academy, which is easy to move to, whether it’s a restaurant, cafe, or library.

…

Today, both the swordsmanship department and the knights department had indoor classes, so they hardly moved their bodies.

Thanks to that, it was decided to have lunch lightly at a cafe, so even though no one said anything, I naturally moved to the cafe where I spend time every time.

Although it is a bit far from the academy, the three settle down in a quiet cafe without people, order according to their tastes, and then sit down.

Chloe liked this time when the sunlight was drawing large lines across the empty table.

“Chloe~”

“Yes?”

As usual, Seria digs into the quiet atmosphere and opens the door to the conversation.

“Did we see Chloe while moving after class?”

“Eh~ I would have listened to you for a while if you had called me comfortably…”

Was there a classroom close to the swordsmanship department today?

“It wasn’t close enough that the street called. I saw Chloe from afar.”

At Seria’s words mixed with her brash gestures, Chloe ran her fingers through her own gray hair.

“Well, something embarrassing…”

After all, even if you are alone, you will have to be careful about your behavior. Even if she thinks she is alone, others may be watching.

Shiver-

When the table was filled with tea and simple snacks, Rike reached out her hand first, filled the cup halfway with black tea, and mixed milk to make milk tea.

Since Seria and Chloe’s tastes are similar, she ordered a cool and sweet drink by itself, so she just sucks on a straw without any special process.

“Hey—- I’m going to live for a bit now. I needed something sweet because I was working too hard on my studies.”

Although she looked at Seria, who was lamenting as she continued to consume the chocolate smoothie, Ricke looked at her with a puzzled look. Seria sneaks away from Rike’s gaze and runs away as if her pit overflows with her silence.

“I had to sit still today… That must have been tough for Seria, who likes her moving classes.”

Some time ago – I accepted Rike’s advice to leave out the ‘sheep’ at the end of my name, even if I kept the respect that I had become accustomed to.

Unlike the first time, I called the two names, and Chloe liked it very much because the distance felt closer than before.

Starting with my older brother, calling my friends by their first names comfortably made me realize that my sociability was actually growing.

“That’s right~ Chloe knows me well! If Rike also increases the frequency of her warm compliments to me—”

The main topic was Seria’s talk, and small chatter continued.

As she emptied the salad and cream cheese canapés she ordered for a meal, Seria stared at herself as her green eyes glowed.

“…What’s on my face?”

“Chloe~ I have a question, can I ask it?”

Today, starting with the unexpected story of my brother, there were many stories that I had to prepare my mind or suddenly heard.

Before hearing what her question was, she took a deep breath and finished her preparations, so Rike let out a small sigh as if she knew what Seria was going to say.

“Didn’t we say we saw Chloe from afar?”

“Yeah…It was.”

“At that time, I saw you with the actual instructor.”

“Ah… Eh!!”

Come to think of it, it had to be.

I headed to my brother in front of the cadets from other departments watching, with the conviction that I had to pass on the script in her head before she forgot it.

It must have been that moment when the two of you saw each other earlier.

“That… Didn’t you get scolded by the actual instructor?”

“Calling students during break time and scolding them. He’s not that kind of person… The atmosphere wasn’t like that.”

Rike, who was refilling her tea and milk and stirring the teacup with a teaspoon, broke her silence and corrected Seria’s words.

“I’m just saying in case you don’t know… I can’t think of anything else…”

Seeing Seria withering away, unable to refute Rike’s words, Chloe pondered over and over again.

Still, this wasn’t something that could be brought up as a topic of conversation right now.

“It’s not that I’m in trouble… I’m sorry! It’s not just me involved… So when the moment comes when I can talk about it later, then I’ll tell you two first!”

Seria looked at Chloe with a little surprise, then smiled and immediately understood.

“Hmm… I see! Rather, it’s comforting to hear that you’re saying no right now. Then you’ll have to wait!”

“Thank you··.”

I’m curious, but it would be Seria’s strength and sense to discuss her friends and not dig deeper, even with her jokes.

“Ah~ I’m so moved now that everyone left! Chloe, who couldn’t even go into a dessert shop alone when we first met, told me so clearly. You’ve grown!”

Clutching her eyes and pretending to cry, Seria pulled Chloe’s gray hair and pretended to wipe away her tears.

“Yeah. It’s not a matter involving only one person, so keeping a secret is cool like a knight.”

Even Ricke smiled and praised him sincerely, but Chloe couldn’t get any reaction.

Her heart was filled with tears as she felt something fuzzy, so Chloe gulped down a cold drink and managed to hold it back.

Grow.

It seemed that her tear ducts would break down again as she was recognized through the mouths of others where she was infinitely lacking.

“And, thank you so much for understanding my undeserved words…”

Tears did not flow, but their voices trembled, so the two quick-witted people knew their condition, but they treated them as usual and quickly refreshed the atmosphere.

I’m so glad I came to the academy and met these two. Chloe recalled and engraved that thought into her heart again and again today.

*****

“Whoa-“

After having dinner with Chloe and having a long talk, it became a night with the moon shining brightly.

Eclair, who entered the study after finishing the bath, turned his stiff neck around.

For a few days, I was overwhelmed with work and wondered what kind of disaster this was.

Even if they came one by one, the things I had to pay attention to rushed at once like this, so I was distracted until now.

He became the leader of the knights based on his strength and achievements, but the time spent holding the pen and grappling with papers was much longer than the time holding the sword, so he felt empty.

Even so, it will be quiet for a while as much as I have strength.

He discussed with the officials the royal reward to be given to Roman, and as the leader of the Knights of Eunik, he made a performance evaluation of each member and finished the final review with the vice-captain.

Starting with the contract for the supplies and salaries of the knights, there were so many minor tasks that I couldn’t even count on my hands, but I managed to finish it somehow and even kept my promise to have dinner with Chloe today.

-Oh…I told Labuny that I’m having dinner with my sister today ㅡ

As soon as I heard it, I laughed out loud, but on the other hand, I was looking forward to it.

Chloe, who would be frightened if it were a man, calls Roman a brother? Although the situation was strange, he was also pleased with his younger brother’s growth.

How about Today he hears that he is in the mansion, will Roman come to visit?

Being able to see the face is not enough… Never.

After knowing the taste that relieves sexual desire, I came to think of Roman as a habit when my mind is stressed or if I have even a little bit of stamina left.

If I hadn’t known this world in the first place, I would have just lived in a bad mood and didn’t know why, but now it’s different.

‘No matter how urgent you are, you can’t do it in the study. Even if we meet today, we’ll just talk…!’

Having an affair while Chloe is at the mansion is absurdly shameless.

I think I will have a bit of free time in the future, so I made up my mind to take care of myself for today.

…
…

I immediately closed the book that I couldn’t concentrate on while waiting and got up from my seat.

‘… You’re here.’

Sooner or later, I will meet Roman after a long time. He’s heart pounding like crazy.

I quickly checked her makeup in the mirror placed in the study, then sat down on a chair and crossed her legs as if nothing had happened.

There was no other person to notice and detect from inside the mansion other than himself, who was concentrating because the weak sign coming up outside was quiet and cautious.

Bean! Bean!

A small knock on the window.

Seeing Roman holding a wine bottle in one hand, Eclair stood up from the chair with a non-hurried movement, managing his expression as much as possible.

Click-!

The lock on the window was unlocked and Roman entered the study along with the night breeze.
