149 – three not two

“Um, did we feel burdened?”

Starting with Hana Baek, he finishes the meal one by one and scratches his cheek as he glances sideways at the children leaving.

“You made it a burden, not us.”

“… … me?”

The guy who was about to take a bite of the salmon poke that was nicely placed on the plate opened his eyes wide and stared at me.

“What.”

“I-I’m sorry to say this, but… Wouldn’t you find the professor more difficult than me?”

“… That master and that disciple.”

“Professor Baek.”

As soon as I compared him with my teacher, he hardened his face.

“Shut up if you don’t want to get dumped on a plate.”

“… … I was taught to value food.”

It’s like grumbling that I heard only one thing about a middle-aged middle-aged person who would have a crush on anyone if they kept their mouth shut.

“It wasn’t you and my existence that made it a burden, it was the barrier you put on.”

“… … ?”

The guy who chewed salmon and avocado in one bite blinked at the blue film covering us.

“It’s an ordinary blocking magic, right?”

“That is the problem. Isn’t it like advertising that we are having important conversations that anyone can see?”

“… … ah.”

Then he opened his mouth slightly, as if he understood what I was trying to say.

“It looks like you got away on your own.”

I nodded once.

Actually, I left because I was aware of Baek Ha-na, who left first, but I had no intention of telling him that.

“Besides, it attracts the attention of others.”

“Well… … You made a lot of mistakes because of fatigue.”

The guy looked around and sighed at the eyes around him that were subtly focused in this direction.

“… sorry.”

“done. Because I accepted the offer to meet here.”

Swoop.

I interfered with the blocking magic created by Jaden and transformed the structure.

“… Every time I see you, I am just amazed.”

Watching the process of the blue film becoming transparent, the guy murmurs softly.

“As for the magic interference itself, the culprit can’t even dare to try it, but the professor robs the magic itself.”

“I didn’t come here to listen to your impressions.”

“Kuhm, great. It was.”

He put the fork he was holding onto the plate and held out a black envelope from his bosom.

“This is the invitation to the auction house you mentioned.”

A black envelope sealed with a white wax seal.

“It’s for VIPs.”

“… How did you know?”

I didn’t bother to answer his question.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen it in real life, but I can’t recognize it.’

A crowned crow engraved on a white wax seal.

This is an invitation to an auction hosted by ‘Raven’, which is distributed only to British royalty.

Originally, it is an item that can be obtained through Arthur and Josie.

“This is the first time I’ve seen it in real life, too… … Well, since you knew about crows, there’s nothing strange about it.”

“I guess you weren’t too interested.”

“Likely, the acquisition destination is the 2nd Prince.”

“Did you accept it on the condition that the job at the airport be completed well?”

“Huh, it’s similar, but unfortunately you’re wrong… … Can you please save me?”

The guy saw the knife floating in the air and quickly raised both hands and took a posture of surrender.

Tuuk.

“Whew… … .”

It wasn’t until the knife landed on the table again that he sighed and continued.

“In the process of coordinating the case with Prince Arthur, I brought up the story of the auction, and he took Prince Josie’s thing and gave it to him.”

“The source doesn’t matter, but I just want it to not be a hassle.”

“hahahaha, as long as Prince Josie’s eyes don’t roll, the professor won’t bother you.”

“I hope so.”

I kept the invitation in my arms.

‘According to my memory, no incidents will occur at this event.’

The festival is the only rest period that exists to reinforce forces in preparation for future events.

Of course, it comes with the condition that you must obtain the favor of one of the two princes and obtain an invitation to enter the auction house.

Even if you fail, it is the only section where there is no penalty.

However, it created an unintended variable.

It’s not exactly arbitrary, it’s a variable created by a damn bastard playing in the sky.

‘There’s a higher chance of an incident happening inside the academy than here.’

Of course, even that is a very slim possibility.

The worms that have infiltrated the academy now as faculty and students are those who infiltrated to gather information, not for cunning, so there is no reason to risk exposing their identities by causing a commotion.

‘Well, even if an incident breaks out, it’s none of my business since I’ve brought all the important people with me.’

I was a little worried about Lee Ye-sol and Yoon Do-sik, who couldn’t bring them due to circumstances, but Lee Ye-sol’s own ability is strong and the paladins are with her, so it’s okay. something to do.

‘Or that Yeonju and I are targeting me.’

They don’t know about the other shadowy guys, but if they’re the Dark Heavens who have been directly harmed by me, they’re the ones who can carry out an attack even if they know Claire is by their side.

And it was also the situation that I personally wanted the most.

‘If it ever appears, it would be nice if the bishop level would step up in person.’

It’s very unpleasant to chew on their hearts, but if you can get closer to Dark Heaven’s stronghold through it, it’s something you can tolerate.

“Are you going up?”

When I got up from my seat, he raised his head and asked.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“You must come as a representative at the opening ceremony tomorrow… ?”

“It’s annoying.”

“… … Since you rolled us like that, can’t you accept that much?”

“exactly.”

I said to the guy who was looking straight at me.

“I heard he rolled on the floor after being hit by a cane thrown by an old man.”

“Puhh… … !! Coke, kheheheuk?!”

He spat out what he had put in his mouth and kicked his tongue at the coughing man to cancel the blocking magic.

“I intend to take responsibility for the role I have taken on, so you guys should do the right thing.”

“Keuk, kkeuk… … !!”

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Jayden knocking on my chest, as if choking.

I shook my head at that guy and headed for the guest room.

“Have you come?”

Claire approached, wearing a pajama with pure white down.

As if it were natural, she came to my side and waited on my clothes.

I get my coat, hang it on a hanger, and unbutton the jacket one by one.

I asked, staring at her shiny hair.

“The children.”

Startle.

Her hand, which had been moving softly, stopped for a moment, then moved again.

“… She said she was sleeping in Miss Hana’s room.”

The nape of the neck and earlobes slowly turning bright red.

A little while ago, I understood why she reacted the way she did.

“Excuse me… … .”

She turned around and took off her jacket.

I carefully took out the white glasses cleaning cloth I had hung in my front pocket from Claire’s jacket.

“Miss Hana must have been happy.”

“Initially.”

“… … ?”

I headed to the sofa with Claire tilting her head in her arms.

You might be curious about the story behind it, but in her arms, she waited patiently with her head resting on her chest until I spoke first.

He told her what had happened at the restaurant.

“I guess that happened.”

She blinked her long eyelashes slowly and looked up at me with her blue eyes.

“Maybe it would be better for you to tell me that you don’t mind.”

“Well.”

Rather, wouldn’t it be more concerned about the part that I heard the conversation.

I grabbed the case lying on the table without giving Claire a proper answer.

The inside finished with luxurious silk is neatly folded and stored.

“Since he said he would become an adult himself, paying attention to this part would rather be ignoring him.”

“…I don’t think this incident has much to do with adults.”

I lowered my head and looked into Claire’s eyes, who was looking up at me.

“……..”

Even though we didn’t really see eye to eye, she lowered her head subtly, her cheeks blushing.

I lifted her chin slightly and made her look into my eyes again.

“Uh, Woojin… Mr.?”

“You seem to be paying more attention to Baek Ha-na than usual.”

“That, that’s… the festival will start soon and considering the physical condition…”

Claire, as I had just said, stammered uncharacteristically and defended herself vigorously, arguing for one reason or another.

– One, how about this one?

-Rather than that, the one I chose seems to suit Miss Hana’s requirements.

-But you don’t have to buy just one, do you?

‘You did a good job bringing me.’

Instead of cleaning glasses, I opened my eyes with Baek Ha-na carefully looking at a handkerchief with the brand logo behind.

“That’s why I’m interested in Miss Hana…”

Claire’s eyes widened, then she trembled and quickly closed them.

It was time for each other to move their hands slowly while feeling each other’s breath.

-Beep~

“……?!”

Her closed eyes opened wide and in an instant, she escaped from my arms.

“Well, well, it seems like a small child has woken up…”

I thought as I looked at her back as she ran towards the bedroom.

‘Should I have brought Ye-Sol Lee as well?’
