Chapter 174 – Even I Don’t Love Myself.

“Mmmm…”

For Chloe, the bed has been transformed into a place for anguish rather than rest.

As a recent phenomenon.

She had the same dream over and over again.

Always greet the morning with the last sentence thrown by a friend, and the dream comes to an end.

Innocent no matter what you do in the dream! It is an area that no one knows and only you know.

That’s why I had a dream that I really wanted to dream…

A dream is not something that happens by one’s own will, so we just wait vaguely for when this phenomenon will end.

“Haaam~”

I’m not afraid of having that dream, but it was true that I felt uncomfortable as if I had a fishbone stuck in my throat when I faced it because I was forced to think a lot every time.

‘I’m really sleepy now…’

Chloe’s blue eyes lose her brilliance and unravel in a daze, sliding down and her consciousness into a world of her own.

Slowly.

Very slowly

The moment your mind and body melt and become one with the bed.

He disappeared from the bedroom and before he knew it, he was in the dance hall of the mansion holding a sword.

“…”

It happened when the older brother was staying at the church and Rike stayed at the mansion at the recommendation of her older sister.

She even accompanied herself and her training when her older sister was away from her or at her mansion.

Unlike herself, who formally learned swordsmanship from her family.

Rike had a fluid attack method that abandoned her systematization and focused on her senses and senses, improvising according to the situation.

It is said that the absurd ideology, theme, and center were obtained from the ugly scythe and brother.

However, there are clear advantages and disadvantages to her method of Liquette.

The free way to change the movement depending on the situation seems perfect as an explanation.

Because there was a disadvantage that it was difficult to settle her posture into the body to the extent that she wielded it while sleeping or unconscious.

The amount of training requires more than the mass of the system.

While following training to make up for that, Chloe realized that the training she had been working hard on so far was not her best effort.

Although Rike’s expressionless expression was unbelievable, the intensity of her training was fierce.

Her body’s fatigue was perfect to dampen the wind in her head, and as soon as Chloe chased after Rike.

And the finish is Dalian.

Her phenomenal baton skills she showed in her combat lessons were just the basics of handling that gigantic scythe.

The first weapon she faced in her life was tricky and difficult to predict.

Chloe’s defensive swordsmanship was quickly put on the defensive, and there was not even a small gap to break the defense and switch to attack.

[ Adele’s Persona – B ]
▷ Create a personality under the mask.
▷ Physical ability increases while the skill is active.
▷ Abnormal status resistance increases while the skill is active.

There was no need to save for more than this.

Clap-!

From the moment the black armor, which started from a brooch shaped like a black rose, consumes mana and seizes the body, the spirit subsides.

Even though her vision was restricted and narrowed, the information and sensations that poured into her head increased.

His body became lighter and his grip seemed to be strong enough to crush the handle of the sword.

“Huh!”

With the activation of the skill, Chloe’s hand movements lead to her reckless actions as her hesitation disappears.

The moment the longsword flashes.

Mana condenses on Rike’s head, and red light bursts out, and her physical abilities rise dramatically, just like her own.

Jjaeng!

The moment when weapons with incomparable power and speed collide.

The repulsive force pushed each other’s bodies apart.

‘···After.’

Pain as if a bat had hit the wrist hidden under the gauntlet.

Chloe’s expression twisted as she breathed under her helmet.

Green onion! Pak! Pak!

With the sun at his back, he rolls to dodge the rain-like red spears, then kicks the ground with such force that the soil turns upside down, inducing a close combat.

It’s not like there’s a definite answer to stick with Ricke, but there’s no answer other than this.

If the distance is far, you will be targeted by blood magic and will be defeated helplessly like the first sparring.

“Today, Chloe is particularly fierce~”

Red flowers bloom on the floor, and the shape of a crown made of blood above the head.

Its appearance also seemed to imitate the round light or the ring-like frame that exists above the heads of the angels, the messengers of the Goddess.

Only elegance makes you feel like a lofty queen or princess somewhere.

Even if she searched all the professional books, it was difficult to find more than one line of information. The opportunity to discover the precious blood magic was such that even her sister would come and see it if she had time.

Chloe’s spirit, clad in her black armor, continued to analyze her, watching her display different blood magic each time.

Seek!

The moment Rike slashes her palm with her scythe, spattering her blood, reflexively blocking it with the broad blade of black.

Chloe realized that her judgment was wrong.

Hot-

“Aww…!”

The blood smeared on her sword forcibly grabbed the blade and bounced in the opposite direction, opening her arms.

Visor!

The longsword she was holding tightly flew away from Rike’s blow and tumbled across the floor of her gymnasium.

When her sparring was over, Rike stopped the bleeding on her palm with her blood magic and at the same time took out the ointment from her arms and applied it.

Aside from the scars on her face, it was her nature to pay her attention to taking care of her body every time.

“It’s like every time, but in an instant, I feel like I’ve become a different person. I’m sure it’s great that even my body movements have become faster, but…”

“I want you to tell me coolly.”

Under the influence of her skill, Rike, who had become accustomed to the unusual tone of voice, continued her thoughts without paying attention.

Including Seria, who is not present at the moment, each of the three members showed and revealed their skills, so whenever there was a gap, there was time to give and receive feedback.

The bond deepened and the intimacy of knowing each other’s secrets increased, further strengthening their bond.

“If it’s as explained, Chloe will change it to her desired personality or dignity, right?”

“Yes.”

Facing the harmless purple eyes, Chloe nodded with a metallic sound.

The heat rises to the point where steam rises from their bodies, they are soaked with sweat, and water drips down their jawlines, but each other’s expressions do not show how their bodies are.

“I think it’s good to create a variable by changing the tempo of an opponent who doesn’t have a one-sided relationship. What should I say about this feeling…”

Rike hid her used scythe somewhere and picked up her own sword as it fell.

She spins the twir-sword and grabs her blade, then hands the hilt to herself.

“Swords that have become faster and stronger as hesitation dies are definitely tricky, but in my opinion Chloe, who is cautious before using her skills, is more difficult to deal with.

My friend’s serious hwadu, which I hope will be helpful, rings in my head.

“Doesn’t Chloe like herself now enough to want to change her personality with her skills?”

There, the world twists like a whirlpool, and the dream ends.

…
…

Originally, after this, there was a saying that it would be better to consult with her older sister or older brother.

Dreams always end at this point.

Chloe woke up from the recurring dream and spent time in a daze with only her upper body raised on the bed.

Now he doesn’t have to make lunchboxes, and he doesn’t have to drop by the church unconsciously.

“Hey…”

Let her wash her dry face over and over again at the complicated thoughts that force her to face her evasive mind.

Realizing that she couldn’t sleep any longer, Chloe finished her brief preparations and headed to her kitchen.

“Sister~”

“I don’t have a packed lunch, so it’s okay to sleep more, but you woke up early today.”

The early hours I got used to in just a few days.

When she wakes up and goes downstairs, she always prepares and eats breakfast with her older sister who wakes up before her.

What has changed is that Rike has passed away and she is helping her sister learn how to cook.

Rike went back home holding her hand with her brother, and she was happy, smiling brightly like a child.

Even after recalling her harmonious and beautiful memories, Chloe’s head forcibly changed the subject because of the uncomfortable feeling.

‘When should I mention it?’

Chloe had her mind on the other side as she had breakfast with eclairs.

A dessert shop that went bankrupt due to an accident in the empire.

Now, there was only one valid reason for being together with my older brother.

There may or may not be such a thing in the future.

A mutual, verbal promise.

The intangible opportunity without a clear form felt so precious.

‘If I tell you, will you go with me…?’

It may be unfounded confidence.

Chloe has a belief close to faith that Roman will accept the request and accompany her with a cool smile.

Legitimate opportunity.

I wanted to cherish this opportunity again and again until I thought it was too much to hold back my emotions.

I thought that if I used it, the time would run out and I would regret it from the moment we parted ways.

Rather than enduring the present and waiting for an affluent future, wouldn’t a greedy human being hope that the present he is breathing in would be the most enjoyable?

“Chloe.”

“Yes?”

“Are you worried about anything?”

As I stopped my mumbling mouth and hands while thinking of her, her older sister asked me sharply.

“No…! Nothing…!”

At Eclair’s question, Chloe shook her head, showing off her messy hair.

“If there is something difficult to solve by yourself, feel free to tell me anytime.”

“Huh···.”

Because she is the older sister, and because she is the closest, the fact that she harbors a worry that she can never talk about comes to me with a great sense of guilt.

But I have no intention of crossing the line.

Because my sister is the most important to me.

Like a church member who lives with only invisible faith as food and reward.

Just a simple delusion is enough to make me feel like I’m going to get a nosebleed.

‘For now, today…’

There is an older brother’s practice class.

That alone is enough to give you the anticipation and energy to endure the day.

Sigh.

Whoops-

As soon as I opened the door of the mansion, the cool morning air sharpened my relaxed mind.

“···Ah.”

I’m just going crazy.

What the hell is this doing

Even though I know exactly what I want and for what reason, I can’t come down.

Chloe Dritna, what does she want to do?

I am afraid and distressed about the time ahead whether I will be able to live happily with the relationship as it is.
