113 – Confident Heart

Read at noblemtl. com

Just after the cool autumn rain,

When the overcast clouds have not yet cleared from the sky.

6 People, including me, went on a trip.

Dungeon investigation practice, and a situation where Selena joined the 5 members of the ecliptic at the recommendation of Lily.

Our destination is the large city of Neldaran, where the Leconta Festival is held.

Neldaran is a large city famous for magical engineering,

Since Heisman, a war hero, was from here, it was a city with its own roots, so it was also an area that could be easily moved using the Mage Tower.

.

.

.

When we arrived through the portal, Neldaran greeted us with sunny weather.

And the situation where I got on a horse-powered car to move to the city.

On a lazy afternoon, while eating snacks prepared by Yeriel, listen to the sounds around you.

You feel refreshed and slightly drowsy at the same time.

Feeling relaxed after a long time.

“Rev! Lily, now I can control up to 5 golems!”

“Oh.”

“Next time we have a party, I’ll show you Lily’s skills!”

Today’s Lily seemed to be in a good mood, as if her stamina was perfect.

Every time, it seems like you haven’t slept well because you’re so engrossed in training.

I don’t know what part of her stimulated her, but it was Lily who grew up much faster than her love affairs.

“Awesome. 5 Times each… “

“Ahem!”

I praised her with the feeling of ‘Hey, I believed in you!’ And cleaned up Lily’s crooked cone.

“All right, all right… Because Lily can… “

“Yes.”

Lily also showed a slightly shy expression.

Anyway, I am very satisfied with how he is steadily growing as a summoner.

Following Kaeran’s scheme, she trains her dragon, which is dangerous for her and sucks out the life force of her caster.

It’s better for Lily to remain as a summoner in order to keep him in check.

Then, Edwin smiled at us.

“Haha, does Lily follow Lev?”

“It’s not like that.”

Lily stretched her own slender knees alternately, she said boredly.

“The royal class circle disappeared~, so I came along because I was a little free. Think thank you~”

“Haha… “

Edwin smiled shyly,

– Jjuuk.

“Mu. Harmless…?”

“Because it looks like it will be sticky.”

I spent my time tugging at Lily’s cheeks for no reason.

And then, Yeriel just smiled and looked in Selena’s direction.

“Anyway, I didn’t expect Selena to come too.”

That’s right.

Selena doesn’t have any contact with Edwin, Yeriel, or Aria,

Lily, who has always followed her well, hastily invited her to join her.

‘It’s not because of me that this happened.’

In the beginning, Selena, Edwin, and Yeriel appear as three people who often run into each other in the gym.

However, as I got into a fight with Gaylon Sharpy and got involved with Selena to learn wind archery, the narrative of the three was erased and still… It just became an awkward relationship.

‘This time, I have to make a complete teammate… ‘

Leaving my thoughts behind,

Selena closed her eyes and belatedly told the reason for joining.

“… Well, I thought it would be fun.”

“Big.”

For a moment, Edwin laughed as if he couldn’t help it.

When Selena glared at her with only one eye open, he flinched and said an excuse.

“Even if it’s funny with that expression… something funny… “

“… ….”

The chemistry between the silent Selena and Edwin, which was often shown in novels.

‘Well, they’ll become close soon.’

When I nod slightly,

-… ?

For some reason, Arya was staring at me.

Just like when he tried to invite me to a party before the screening test.

* * *

With the introduction of Yeriel, we rented a lodging in a good location, and as soon as we unpacked, we headed to Le Conta Square, where the grand festival was held.

“Wow… “

Like Edwin’s gaping mouth, this place had an unexpected grandeur.

It is a circular square, but it is located in the middle of the lake, so it looks like a small island,

It’s like coming to an amusement park, filled with fun-looking amenities,

When you cross the bridge in 4 directions, the straight path is wide open, which makes the viewers feel refreshed.

And at the place installed on a high platform, the presenter was shouting with a high tension as if he was about to start something.

-From now on, Sisak… !!!! I’ll do it!

With a remark that seemed familiar, the procession to announce the Neldaran Festival began.

.

After enjoying the festival without hesitation, the autumn wind turned chilly and the night sky began to turn purple.

‘No matter how you look at it, the sky is beautiful in a fantasy world… ‘

After the exciting parade, we participated in the LeConta Festival’s contest according to our own specialties, perhaps intoxicated with the atmosphere.

Edwin’s sword dance, Lily’s magic engineering…

Because it was an event that only amateurs could participate in, there was an angle worthy of aiming for a prize.

-Now, what’s next!!

And to wait for Edwin and Lily waiting in line in front of me, and to have a meal, we, the remaining number of people, rented an outdoor table.

“Let’s split by two. Is there anyone who wants to order food with me?”

“… !”

After a brief moment of silence, Selena silently rose from her seat.

“… Go slow! We’ll bring utensils!”

“Yes.”

So Arya and Yeriel keep their seats, and Selena and I go to get food.

I’ve seen it since I came…

A variety of food was prepared at the numerous convenience stores set up to enjoy the festival.

-Take a taste and go!

-This way! Drinks are ready!

From smoked barbecue to chicken skewers, teppanyaki, fruit salad, and Chinese-style course meals with recipes.

First of all, Selena and I stood in line for barbecue, the representative food that comes to mind when thinking of festivals.

– Roaring!

‘I was going to buy Lily a meal.’

At that time, staring at the barbecue fire in the distance, lost in my mind, Selena chanted as if to listen to me.

“I am going to join the committee.”

“…… “

As expected, she didn’t accept Lily’s invitation without thinking.

I had something to say one-on-one.

I just answered with my eyes fixed on the fire.

“Good.”

“… I know everything. That you used your hand.”

“… “

“Director of the Gunnery Department, Violet Decrescent… I’m not the kind of person who puts an interest in others first.”

“Okay. Maybe you tried hard enough to catch my eye.”

Despite my pretentiousness, Selena did not waver at all.

“Again, compassion?”

“… “

Maybe it was then.

On the first day of the semester, while looking at the poster where our grades were decided.

I said, looking at Selena with bandages on her fingers from her hard practice.

-I know you worked hard.

-Sympathy… Are you Sim?”

She told me not to show any sympathy.

Selena’s eyes looking at me are sharp.

I guess so. Because she’s a style she wants to prove with her skills.

– Knock knock…

“It might be sympathy… “

When I said sympathy again, her eyebrows narrowed.

Then, he asked me in a slightly cold tone.

“At that time, I had nothing and asked me to teach wind archery… ? So, this time?”

“What?”

“Is there anything else you want from me… “

“This time… “

Selena’s eyelashes fluttered as I turned her head.

It seems that you still have some doubts about me.

“No.”

“…?”

“I just conceded because I thought you were more qualified as a marksman than I am. Heartily.”

“… I think I’ll believe that… ? If it wasn’t for you even in the subjugation of bloody ashes… !”

“… “

“… No matter how you look at it, the chairman was interested in you at that time… ?”

It is natural that Selena is not convinced.

Since she is strict with herself, she must have already recognized me as strong.

However, I only used a trick, and my absolute combat power is not high.

Supporting actors… Because it’s only a supporting role, it can’t completely replace the main role.

I added, counting the stars in her eyes.

“If there’s anything I really want from you, it’s Edwin.”

“…Edwin Gwynns…?”

“Yeah, he’s pretty strong, no, he’ll get stronger. And he’s a good guy like Hogu. Please help him. It would be nice to have the same party.”

“What is that… “

I can’t help it. Even so, the relationship between Edwin and Selena had to be narrowed down.

It’s not for nothing that Kaeran seduced Melissa, Aveline, and Lily.

Because the reality is that you can’t defeat the Great Devil alone.

Selena said, taking her eyes off me.

“… The reason is… I won’t tell you even if you ask.”

“… “

“That’s Lev Denek, because you are.”

Selena knows me too well.

“Then you… then… What are you thinking of doing? Perhaps again, individual actions alone… “

“That’s right, so even if I don’t have… “

“You waited a long time!”

Then, the food I had been waiting for came out.

A large barbecue with an appetizing smell from open fire.

“It was aged and baked with wine directly airlifted from the territory of Artina! “

The clerk dressed as a chef looked at Selena and joked about her.

“If you taste it, you will have a hard time going back to the forest where the mistress is. Because I keep thinking about it.”

“… “

He seems to have some pride. It seems that he is a person with a deep philosophy about meat.

“… It can’t be.”

After Selena answered briefly, she took the meat and left first.

Then the man put his hand over his mouth as if whispering to me and said.

“You look pretty, but you are a cold woman… “

“… Yes. Sell a lot.”

“Thank you, Bocchan!”

I hurriedly calculated and chased after Selena.

.

.

.

After going back and forth like that a few times, all kinds of food from the festival were served to our table.

I said as I sat down.

“What about Edwin and Lily?”

“Over there!”

The place Yeriel pointed to was on the stage.

Put your hand on your waist and say ahem! Lily draws a magic circuit in an instant while walking away.

– Square square…

– Pung pur pung !!!

-Wow!!!

-You’re amazing little girl!

As Lily’s improvised ignition system activated, countless magic firecrackers exploded, and cheers erupted around her.

-Pung pp pp pp pp !!

And sneakily looking at me, did I do well? Sends a signal that

It definitely feels like a school performance, but the level is too high.

‘It seems like yesterday when I confessed to Lily.’

With a smile on her face, she turned her head back toward the table.

“!”

Again, Arya was staring at me.

It feels like our eyes meet often these days…

-…

Her blue-gold eyes capture the night sky, and her silver hair captures the Milky Way.

The beautiful curves of the side and bangs also harmoniously add beauty.

She is also my favorite heroine.

I stopped thinking for a moment at that affectionate and ardent beauty, then shyly said a word.

“Why? Doesn’t it fit in her mouth?”

“No.”

“Then is there anywhere inconvenient?”

“… Lev Deneck.”

“?”

She called me by my full name.

As if reciting Korean letters and Korean letters.

-… ?

Following this, Selena and Yeriel also slightly turned their heads to see what was going on.

-Drink, let’s drink!!!! Let’s die!!

– Buff Buffer Buffung!

It’s still noisy around the festival in full swing,

When I put the tableware down for a moment and put on a questioning expression,

Arya’s fine mouth moved.

“I like it. Lev Deneck.”

“…… “

At her word, in the crowd…

Only our table paused as if paused.

As long as it’s a cliché.

Firecrackers should explode at this timing.

‘It doesn’t explode.’

-……

Maybe,

The confession attack… I guess it wasn’t a technique that only I used.
