chapter 216
216 – Offensive – 3
It’s not my first time coming to Elizabeth’s room, but my heart races every time I come in. Especially when I think about that bed. However, Yoo Cho-ah, who came in for the first time, was amazed when she saw the room and started looking around.
“Wow~! This is a noble’s room~! What is this?!”
“Ohhohoho! These are dresses! Do you want to try them on?!”
“Eh. I don’t think Elizabeth’s dress will suit me.”
“Hmm?! That’s not true! Especially this green dress…”
The two start squealing noisily as they put the dresses on each other’s bodies. While I was watching the two who seemed so happy, Jin Si-yeon came near me and spoke in a slightly subdued tone.
“There is someone in Jinga who heard similar hallucinations.”
He is a class A hero and has visited many ruins with Jinhorang. Jin Si-yeon muttered with a serious expression when a person who did not appear in the game told her that he had had auditory hallucinations some time ago and that he had only mentioned it in passing during a family meeting.
“At the time, I just laughed it off… but isn’t this something big about to happen?”
I can’t say no. But that didn’t change anything. Because eventually the end will come.
“Johan! Johan! How about this?!”
“Don’t you think it looks good on Choa?!”
“Oh… that’s amazing. But isn’t it a bit too exposed?”
The cut is deep enough to clearly expose the cleavage, and there is nothing covering the back. The slit is so deep that even one side of the thigh seems to be exposed.
“You have a pretty original, so you look pretty no matter what you wear.”
“Is that so? Hehehehe~! Then I should try this on later~!”
For a moment, Yoo Cho-ah grinned with a red face and scratched her head. Elizabeth, who was staring at her, picked up another dress and placed it on her body.
“How does this look?!”
“Needless to say, she’s beautiful. Everyone recognizes Elizabeth’s beauty, right?”
“Oh~hohohohohohoho!! That’s right!! As expected, Yohan! You know something!! Ohhohohohohoho!!”
“…It’s good.”
“Don’t do that because you are just as beautiful.”
“…Tsk!”
Looking at the two who didn’t know what to do with happiness, I also praised Jin Si-yeon, who was grumbling. She was stunned for a moment by my words, then quickly turned her head. The nape of his neck and ears were red, and his cheeks were twitching, making him look like he was trying to hide his smile.
-smart.
Then there was a knock on the door. Elizabeth went and opened the door, and Jeong Soo-yeon came in, pushing a tray.
“I prepared snacks and tea. Let’s eat dinner later…”
“I didn’t know that my mother would prepare it herself.”
“First of all, I’m the host. Is everyone okay with tea?”
She skillfully brewed tea and poured it for us. And there are snacks and small cakes placed. England is said to be serious about the car, and it sure looks amazing.
“Oh, that’s right, Mom! This is it! I made it!’
Yu Choa took out a gift and held it out. Originally, she should have given it to her earlier, but she was too distracted and couldn’t give it to her. Jeong Soo-yeon smiled brightly at the woman who held it out to her.
“Oh my!! Isn’t this a madeleine?! How! I really like it! Can I try it now?”
“yes!”
She took a bite of the madeleine inside the package and raved about how delicious it was. She was so happy that it made the person who gave it to her feel better, so she accepted what Jin Si-yeon gave her and smiled brightly.
“There are some dangerous things going on in the fortress dungeon! It will be a great help! Thank you!”
“It’s no big deal.”
“Ah. This could save my life.”
Is it my car now? I handed her what I had received from the lab earlier, and she fell silent for a moment after receiving it.
“…Thank you. I guess you gave me this out of consideration for my health?”
“Huh? Do you know what it is?”
“Yeah. Isn’t it a stamina enhancer? I heard it was being made in a research lab. I heard it’s not on the market yet.”
Since I am close with Shin Hae-rang, I was able to get it sooner.
Jeong Soo-yeon, who was looking at it closely, smiled brightly and patted my shoulder.
“Thank you so much for this! Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, but can you help me out?”
“Yes? What…”
“I have something to bring from below. It’ll only take a moment!”
She smiled and took me outside. On the way out, Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah offered to help, but she politely declined, and as soon as she came out, she took something out of her pocket and held it out.
“what is this?”
“It’s the Taylor family’s necklace. It’s made of a brilliant stone.”
[Myunghwanseok Necklace.]
[A necklace containing the power of the underworld. When worn, you can negotiate with beings from the underworld.]
[Increase in horsepower]
[Stamina increases by 1]
[Mental strength increases by 1]
[In case of status abnormality, status abnormality can be recovered immediately by dealing with beings of the underworld]
and! Mysterious stone necklace?! This is very precious, right? The options are good, and in particular, the deal with the underworld, which can immediately recover from status ailments, is almost a fraud, so it was one of the highest-quality necklaces in Hero Academia.
Never thought you’d get that here.
“This… such a precious thing…”
You can’t buy this even with money. Because there is no one selling it. She smiled as I looked at the necklace in confusion and patted my shoulder.
“The reason I’m giving you this isn’t just to get me up.”
“hmm…”
“I heard you became a strong pillar for our Ellie? Haha. You can say that Ellie means everything to me. A necklace like this is not a waste at all for you, who stayed by Ellie’s side and supported her when she was having a hard time.”
“Thank you.”
“Hmm. If anything, I should be more grateful. And…”
She paused for a moment and looked at me. After that, he nodded slightly.
“pass.”
“yes?”
“As a mother, I wish you could only love Ellie… but I know it’s a difficult situation. Still, I hope you don’t neglect Ellie.”
…omg! Did you really get caught?!
I looked at her in confusion, and my mother burst into laughter and stroked my head.
“Women know it when they see it. Men don’t seem to have noticed yet. The eyes Choa and Siyeon give to you are the same as our Ellie’s eyes, right? And you were also giving the same look to everyone.”
I can’t believe you noticed that in such a short period of time. It’s scary.
“I won’t blame you. To be honest, it’s a woman’s pleasure to want to be next to a great man. The opposite is also natural. The one you originally liked loses… Ellie confessed first, right?”
“Um, yes.”
“And the other two?”
It’s a ghost. I looked at Elizabeth to see if she had said something, but she just smiled and shook her head.
“Mom knows everything.”
“Hahaha… well. If possible, I’d like you to keep it a secret for the time being.”
Anyway, my plan is to officially inform the Taylor family and Jin family after I become S-class.
Even if I tell you before then, it won’t do any good.
“Hehehe. I’m looking forward to what my son-in-law will do. Oh, by the way, I agree with it.”
It’s a fortunate story. Anyway, my mother-in-law said she would allow a harem. Actually, I was prepared to get hit once.
“But… there’s one thing I’m worried about.”
“yes?”
“I hope you don’t try to handle it too much alone. It’s the same with Ellie, Choa, and Siyeon. Marriage isn’t something you do alone. It’s about being happy together.”
Still, this is something I have to do.
I shook my head and she grinned at me.
“Then give it a try. I will support you.”
That alone was enough.
Anyway, this is a truly grateful story. Not only do you have one less person to persuade, but you also gain someone who can provide support if the situation arises.
I bowed my head towards her with a soft smile.
“thank you.”
“Well, for something like this. I should be the one thanking you. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to talk like this. And…”
A hand came to my head and gently stroked me. I looked up and saw that she was looking at me with warm eyes.
“You didn’t even get to see Ellie fall in love.”
“ha ha ha…”
“So don’t be too hard on yourself. I noticed that Choa and Siyeon also look very strong.”
“is that so?”
“okay.”
Does this mean you are a real adult? I felt much more at ease with her calm answer.
“Then stay inside. I’ll get it right away.”
She lightly patted my shoulder and went down the stairs. I think asking for help was just an excuse and I just wanted to talk like this. I stood there watching her walk away and then went back into the room.
“Oh? You said you had something to bring. Why are you coming in empty-handed?”
“Ah. My mother said I could do it alone.”
“is it so?”
I sat down and looked at Elizabeth, who was tilting her head. And I took a sip of the black tea, which was slightly cooled and in a perfect state to drink. I once heard that riding a car is like riding a person’s heart. Just like that, the car my mother gave me felt like it contained her leisure and softness.
“Anyway, let’s continue what we were talking about earlier.”
I guess the conversation stopped because I came in. But what were you talking about?
“Now, wait a minute! If you say that now…!”
“It’s about what we do on our first night.”
“Cough! Cough!!”
The tea I was drinking got stuck in my throat. When I coughed, embarrassed because it was such a random story, Elizabeth quickly patted me on the back.
“Oh my?! Are you okay?!”
“Ugh. It was so sudden… The first night. The first night… Why are you talking about it now?”
“Oh my? This is important. We’re all thinking about it too.”
It’s an important issue.
