Chapter 271 – What if the Dragon Girl

“I heard my name in conversation. What were you talking about?”

Roman’s questions and gaze were directed at him.

Alice, who was preoccupied with yellow flowers with a hazy expression, was in a situation where she could not seek help.

Lilyne, who rolled her eyes here and there, managed to answer while avoiding her gaze.

“Bee, it’s a secret…!”

Upon hearing Lilyne’s answer, Roman loosened her expression and grinned.

“It’s a joke, so don’t look so scary.

“Ummm…”

“But what I said at the beginning is not a joke. I mean it. If you’re an adventurer, wouldn’t it be better to eat a fuller breakfast?”

The lightness of his voice that can be assured that it is a joke so strangely.

Looking at it now, controlling momentum like that might also be a category of skill.

In addition, the scene where Alice, who couldn’t hide her shyness while looking at the flowers, moves her hand slowly under her table and grabs Roman’s little finger.

‘It looks good…’

It can be clearly seen even in Lily’s eyes, while realizing the relationship between the two.

The tension I felt in front of Roman all of a sudden died.

Lilyne, who averted her eyes from the salting that filled her breasts for an instant, asked her first priority.

“I ate bread with Alice before you came, so it’s okay. By the way, Mr. Roman… Are you feeling well?”

“I’m fine. If I get sick, I’ll take a break, but I’m strong, so I can’t do that. How about Lily’s?”

Grabbing Alice’s fork, Roman chewed on the vegetables in her bowl and frowned to see if it didn’t fit her mouth.

Maybe Lily’s four complained of discomfort in front of the two of them, and she was worried.

On that side, she continued to worry, but cautiously opened her mouth to her idea of ​​enlisting the help of her experienced and knowledgeable Roman.

“I might have to say that my head is heavy these days… But looking at Roman and Alice, it doesn’t seem like the aftermath of that incident.”

“At that time, you were examined by the church, right?”

“Yes. I said there was no problem at the time.”

Roman, who wiped the scar on his chin with a thoughtful expression, could not give a sharp answer as to whether there was something he could pinpoint.

“If you can’t find an ideal in the church, isn’t it because your mind is tired? You can’t sleep enough.”

“I think unnie needs a break too!”

“Is that so… But it’s not to the extent that there’s a problem in my daily life, it’s okay. Except for the request, I might have lost my stamina from reading books.”

“I understand! Once you get hold of a book, it’s hard to stop.”

Even as Alice worried about her, she always expressed sympathy.

As the story about Lilyne faded away, Alice fixed her eyes on Roman.

“Roman-sama! Are you done with today’s work?”

“That’s right. I just met the dean… I didn’t have time to do anything else today, so I just came.”

“Ah! So… You worked hard!”

Roman, who brushed the long hair of Alice, who was holding the flower carefully like a treasure, delivered the good news.

“Since the discussions have ended well, let’s work hard together when the sophomore year begins.”

“!”

“Not every day, but once a week is enough.”

“I’ll do my best not to get in the way!”

Upon hearing Roman’s words, Alice’s face and voice showed excitement and excitement.

“What if it gets in the way? Don’t worry. Use this opportunity not as a job, but purely as a platform for growth.”

“Roman-sama…!”

Alice’s emotional expression and Roman looking at it with affection as if it were cute.

And myself watching the two of them from the side.

“…”

It’s definitely not the first time or two that you get caught between lovers.

A sense of desolation, which I had never felt before, pierced me like an awl.

“There’s nothing to worry about or think about because it’s an academy where nobles gather. It’s a place where all the same humans gather, and only those with a strong will will accept it.”

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

Lilyne, who was silently listening to the conversation beside her, tried not to get in between me.

Seria involuntarily opened her mouth to the story.

“Alice is the Academy? The Lofty Academy?”

“Uh. I’m an instructor there, right? Starting next year, Alice will also be an instructor and go in with me.”

Because she understood what Roman said, Lily Ne, who couldn’t understand with her head, blinked her eyes.

It was good news that Seria would like, but from her adventurer’s point of view, it was not convincing.

“You’re not passing it on to Alice, but you’re going to be an academy instructor for one more year? You’re platinum?”

“I know what you want to say. Being an adventurer is my main job, so I’ll have to do commissions in between. Still, it’s quite rewarding to teach young people. Among them, Seria has a taste of teaching.”

Roman was not a man in need of money or power.

A person who paradoxically developed a distance from the desire for wealth while possessing too many things.

It’s enough to just live doing what you want to do.

If it is fun and rewarding, that is the highest value for platinum beyond gold or jewelry.

“I’ll take care of Seria…”

I tried not to mention Seria to Roman at all times because it seemed like a picture that was no different from an inappropriate request.

The other side of her spoke first, and Lilyne, who quickly understood her, bowed her head.

Roman nodded with a smile and naturally added the menu and refilled the drink.

His seat was rekindled with vigor.

The seat leading to the trivial Saddam ate up time and time again.

“Roman-sama, try this too!”

“Eat Alice, too. They only take care of me from earlier.”

“No! I’m eating a lot too.”

Alice giggled and carefully placed the sliced ​​ham and cheese on her crackers.

She continued with her drop in her lover’s mouth.

“…”

I was just happy to see the scene where my acquaintances continued to hang out.

Receiving a bitter feeling inside her, Lilyne found it difficult to raise the corners of her mouth.

‘I never had a day like this. I must have gotten older too…’

I didn’t know that Seria filled the house with lively energy every time, but now, I wonder if loneliness without a partner came to me out of nowhere.

Her inability to bless others innocently made her feel ugly.

“Do you two often hang out?”

At Roman’s question, Alice looked at Lilyne and smiled with gratitude from her.

“Because I am so lacking, I owe a lot to my sister.”

“Okay?”

“I also learn a lot from watching Alice. We learn from each other.”

“Anyway, my sister and I talk about magic well.”

“Hoo.”

Lilyne also rejoiced and sympathized with Alice’s words.

‘It’s not like this, but I need to change the way I see the two of them.’

Unlike the bitter inside, the friendly atmosphere made people feel peaceful and there was no distorted displeasure.

“There are so many things I can learn from my sister. She is also a senior in terms of life experience as a woman, right?

“That’s right. Lily’s the trouble-free side, especially among adventurers, so it would be helpful for her to learn.”

“Me, me? Not that much. Ahaha…”

She just didn’t want to raise her voice and argue with others, so she just tried to solve it as gently as possible.

When Roman and Alice stood up for her, Lilyne showed a smile through her troubled face.

“Anyway, unnie’s popularity with men is no joke.”

“Mmmm.”

Seeing Roman nod her head without her denial, Lilyne lowered her head at the sensation of her face heating up.

“He is very knowledgeable about dating and helped me to make sure I didn’t make a mistake because I was inexperienced, so today’s seat is a token of my gratitude!”

“Romantic relationship?”

Let Roman raise a questioning voice over Alice’s words.

Lilyne’s whole body trembled.

*****

Roman left her shop and took Alice by the hand and walked towards her mansion.

There was still time until the academy ended and the imperial family’s duties were over before the three women returned.

She was about to show me the inside of her mansion, which she hadn’t been able to properly show until then, and she also showed me taijutsu.

“Roman-nim. Is your sister okay?”

She seemed to be worried about Lilyne Alice as she stormed out of her seat as if in a fit.

– Well, I remembered something urgent, so I’ll go!

I vividly recalled Lily’s back as she hurriedly left her seat with one of her silver coins on it.

To infer the reason, it wasn’t even impossible from Roman’s point of view, so she barely held back her rising smile by biting her lower lip.

‘I mean, Lily’s sometimes has a weird corner too.’

Until now, she only showed a mature and dignified appearance, but isn’t she quite cute?

“It’s okay. If you’re really worried, visit me later.”

“Umm… It’s uncomfortable when guests come to me when I’m not feeling well, so that’s a concern.”

As the two of them walked, they arrived in front of the mansion.

Roman unlocked the gate and pushed on.

Kki-Ik-!

Upon entering the yard of her mansion, Tero, which was hanging over her head, jumped up.

– Shiiik! Hiss!

“Tero! Can’t go in!”

As she had a criminal record, Alice caught Tero from the air and warned her as she was about to throw herself into the dirt.

The flower bed in the mansion managed by the sisters Rike and Dritna was something that Tero Hanji coveted, even though it was different.

When he went to Alice’s room, Roman, who had seen Tero’s place before, picked up an empty flower pot placed next to the flower bed.

“Should I scoop up the soil?”

“Ah…! Is that okay?”

“It’s okay, as long as Alice decides on a room for her use and puts it there.”

In the flowerpot he was holding, was a flower Roman gave him and Tero lying down with a satisfied face.

I picked it up and entered the mansion together.

Upon arriving inside the secluded mansion, where no one else was present, Alice, who had put the flower pot on the floor, was embraced by Roman.

“I’m sorry! Something is unbearable…”

“It’s the same.”

“Hey! I really like it…”

After gently sweeping her from the head to the back, Alice rubbed her cheek against Roman’s body.

“Alice.”

“Yes!”

“Can I ask a question?”

“Sure!”

He briefly kissed Alice, who was waiting for her mouth to open, and only Roman brought out her curiosity.

“If dragons give birth to a child, the egg shape is different from that of normal humans, right?”

“… Ma, that’s right!”

It wasn’t even such a great secret that some of the dragons took pride in it.

Alice, imagining her future separately, rubbed her heated body even while stuttering her words.

“So what if Alice gets pregnant with my child in the future?”
