chapter 14
14 – A night full of tension (?) (2)
I never dreamed that Tyr would apologize to me. It was I who made her rude. All Tyr did was grab my arm and put his hand on my cheek.
If that is a strategy, then it is a strategy. The attitude of trying to solve the task in front of us regardless of means and methods deserves praise. In the end, didn’t Tyr achieve what he wanted?
‘I have to apologize.’
I clenched my fists in shame to hide from him. Rather, Tyr was much more mature than I was.
To be honest, I wasn’t that familiar with interpersonal relationships. I’ve lived for over 100 years, but haven’t I lived alone in the north all my life? It just flows as it flows, it’s just that it’s old and has excellent magic skills.
So, I acted violently by drinking and smoking, and I hid myself tightly so that no one could see my weak side so that people would not approach me easily in the first place.
“No matter how much Master gave us the task, we shouldn’t touch Master’s body recklessly. I thought briefly. Sorry.”
‘No… That’s not it.’
I wanted to shout that it wasn’t like that. But I couldn’t open my mouth for fear that Tyr would see me as a stranger. She just licked her lips and touched her glass.
‘Was I such a timid woman?’
Suddenly, a sense of shame came over me. Facing Tyr, who was young but much more mature than I, made her look like an ugly woman.
She was on the verge of tears for no reason, so she hurriedly brought her glass to her. Even if he dies, he cannot show the image of his teacher crying in front of his pupil.
But at that time, Tyr brought up a story that could not be tolerated.
“Now, in the mansion, there is the Yongin that Master has been looking for.”
“…What!?”
She jumped up from her seat in surprise at those words. Then he grabbed Tyr by the collar and brushed her back and forth.
“Tell me! Where is that bastard now!? Right now…!”
“Oh, no, Master! If you go to him now, a candidate for the Dragon King will come looking for you!”
Candidate for Dragon King? Are you talking about that b*tch who says la blah blah? I narrowly opened my eyes and glared at Tyr.
“How do you know that?”
“Sue, I’ll tell you in order! Let go of this for now!”
Letting go of the collar, Tyr sniffed at her, caught her breath, and then carefully brought her out.
“Yongin’s true identity is a maid at a mansion called Trisha. She became suspicious because her mother was drinking ‘Yonghwan Tea’.”
I know that car well. It is a type of herb often used by dragons who cannot use magic stones to improve their condition. But wouldn’t that only grow in the cold land?
“And it was Trisha who recommended it. So, after listening to Master’s words, he secretly followed Trisha. Then…”
Tyr placed a small scale on the table and continued.
“I found this in Trisha’s room.”
You don’t even have to check it out. I know better than anyone what dragon scales are.
“How did you know that the candidate for the Dragon King was coming?”
“I heard you secretly communicate in your room. Did you know how to use the communication port in Yongin?”
It is a series of amazing things that go by. Tyr was digging out the truth on his own with the smallest clues I gave him.
‘But what did I do?’
He was kicking off the blanket, recalling the memory of lusting after his young pupil. I felt intimidated by the sharp comparison.
“Tomorrow… When are you coming?”
“First of all, as far as I know, he’ll come after dinner. Right now, Master is in a weakened state, so if you take out just one magic circle for future borrowing, you should be able to defeat the dragon king candidate!”
The gun… Was still too much, but the magic circle could already be drawn out. Should I say that this is fortunate?
“I believe in Master! Only Master can save the mansion!”
I could not raise my head at all to the disciple who conveyed complete faith to me. So, without using any mana, I gulped down Ignis.
After one drink, I was in a state of complete desperation.
‘Let’s just drink and die today!’
I don’t need mana management. Today I’m just going to take a binge!
—–
“Ugh, hehehehe… Afterward…”
How the hell did this happen?
Me and Aisha only had one drink. He may have drank a lot before I came, but didn’t he empty seven bottles by himself during the day?
Besides, these calculations are not very useful. Now that I drink while managing mana, I’m sure.
If you use mana properly and drink it, drunkenness can make you unable to set foot in your rational mind. As proof of that, I didn’t get drunk at all even after drinking strong alcohol that reached 69 degrees.
“Tie ~ I’m not like that …”
But why is he doing this? I can’t get drunk, but the Archwitch? No way.
Aisha was lying face down on the table, her neck red from drunkenness, calling my name over and over again. Even under her gently closed eyelids, there are tears like the morning dew.
He must have drunk it without using mana on purpose. But if he doesn’t use mana, he’s very weak. Quite a surprise Isn’t it the representative drunkard of Lunatic Soul?
Seeing a whale drown in the sea didn’t seem as surprising as it is now.
“Master… I have something important tomorrow, so use your mana now.”
“Sirut!!”
With a bang, Aisha hit the table violently. I must have drank in a fit of anger because I wanted to forget what happened earlier. Oh, old man… This is even more ugly.
Who is it, the one who ruined my one and only teacher like this? He’s a very bad guy.
‘Yes, I am a sinner.’
Perhaps the fact that I knew something he didn’t know also played a role. I’m sorry, but I’m lying when I say I overheard Tricia’s communications. I couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse for this, so I was just evasive.
I moved the chair next to her. Then I lifted her head slightly and leaned her against my shoulder, then poured her glass of water and brought it to Aisha’s mouth.
The feel of the hair that falls heavily on her head and arms that rests heavily on her shoulders is thrilling. Ah, looking at her lips reminds me of that incident again.
“Drink some water.”
“Suul~!”
“Yes, yes. It’s alcohol, so have a drink.”
She couldn’t tell whether the liquid I held out was water or alcohol, thanks to the heavy eyelids that were undone by drunkenness. Just open your lips and put whatever I spill into her mouth.
If I had a bad heart, how could I be so defenseless? What if it was really alcohol? Does that mean you opened up to me?
As I poured the water little by little into her mouth, Aisha suddenly frowned.
“Ugh… Use it!”
It’s water dude. I know that feeling all too well. When you’re drunk, whatever you eat tastes like alcohol.
Even though he complains with his mouth, he accepts and eats well. I feel like a mother bird feeding baby birds.
‘But why doesn’t he smell like alcohol?’
Aisha’s unique poppy-like body scent combined with the sharp smell of alcohol gave off a sweet scent that could not be stopped like a drug. It was the first scent I ever smelled. I want to take care of it a little more.
‘I don’t know anyway, so it’ll be fine, right?’
Turning her head slightly, I put my face close to her hair and enjoyed the incense. Um… Smell.
“Tyr?”
When I opened my eyes, which had been closed while enjoying her scent, Aisha opened her narrow eyes and looked up at me with distant eyes. It’s a waste. She got caught
“Ah, hahahaha…”
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
“Gren…”
Fortunately, Aisha didn’t ask any further and slammed her nose against her shoulder with her snoring noise.
“I like this~”
I’m glad that the cradle is comfortable.
“It smells good… It’s cozy.”
I’m glad that it smells good too.
“Will it taste good?”
I can’t do that. I don’t like it. Help me!
My mouth really opened slightly, so I quickly covered it again with a glass of water. Then Aisha mumbled the rim of her water cup with her lips like her newborn baby.
“Haa…”
I sighed and ran my fingertips through Aisha’s hair from her face. I wonder if tomorrow morning I’ll kick the blanket with excitement while recalling this memory.
I’d rather lose my memory, but will a wizard like Aisha lose her memory just because she’s drunk?
I have a showdown with Trisha tomorrow, so can I do this?
Well… You can drive out any amount of drunkenness with mana. You don’t have to worry about it.
‘But why are you so anxious…?’
I tried to calm my heart as I gazed out the window where a thick curtain of darkness was drawn.
—–
As soon as he returned to his room after work, he threw his clothes.
“Damn it! Why am I waiting on such an insignificant b*tch!!”
A month. To regain strength, but to fall into the position of serving on an insignificant human being. How trash would my other co-workers look at me?
‘Aisha Rupeltert…!!’
It’s not enough to chew and kill! It’s all because of that year!
Raminasis, who emerged as the new dragon king candidate, extended a merciful hand not only to the dragons but also to the dragons.
Thanks to that, even in the north, the dragons who were living at the edge of the frontier were able to walk with their heads up.
Of course, I knew that only a bright future would be waiting for me in the future.
However, the problem was that a month ago, I ignored Raminasis-sama’s order to wait because I was blinded by the ball, and attempted an air strike on the Witch of the Cold.
“At least a thousand dragons are needed to stand against the Great Witch of the Cold. If you meet them, run away.”
Candidate Yongwang himself said that. What is his greed? The Yongin, who had been recognized for the first time in a while, had their eyes turned over by a bigger ball. I was one of them.
The result was a catastrophic failure. Except for me, all the dragons who participated in the raid that day were annihilated. I realized why the great dragons had to hide in the cold land of the north.
I’ve been holding my breath for the past week, afraid that if I ever run into the Archwitch, I’ll get caught.
But that will end tomorrow. No, it’s past midnight, so it’s over today.
I took out the crystal ball and contacted Raminasis. Then, after a while, her crystal ball was dyed with light, and the image of a woman with her red hair flying around came to mind.
A gracious person who forgives me for moving on my own and helps me get back to my colleagues!
– It’s today.
“Yes! Thank you, Raminasis-nim, for your kindness!”
– You didn’t get caught, right?
There was a person who bothered me to say that confidently.
‘Loatir peirosis.’
It’s not exact, but the look in his eyes as soon as he heard my name a few days ago. It was definitely a life.
The reason is not important. You can’t look at someone you don’t know with such lifelike eyes. If so, there was a high possibility that my identity was discovered.
“Oops, I’m sorry, Mr. Raminasis…”
– Speak.
“Could I move the time forward a little…? It seems that someone knows who I am.”
Then Raminasis-sama’s eyebrows rose sharply. I quickly lowered my head and continued with a quick-fire gun.
“I didn’t get caught by the Great Witch of the Cold! Sure! It just occurred to me that the Countess here was suspicious of me. Sorry!”
– Then proceed after the Count leaves the mansion. Don’t underestimate me as a human being.
“Yes! I will take care of it for sure!!”
Communication was cut off after that. It was the last contact anyway, so I shoved the crystal ball into my mouth without hesitation and destroyed the evidence.
‘There are only a few hours left.’
Tonight is going to be a sleepless night.
