056. This is Romance (3)

‘Well? If you could go back to the past, would you like to go back?’

It was a sudden question, but Zeke’s answer to it was fixed.

Honestly, if I could go back to the past, what would I do?

If you go back to the days of Yeopo in the corner of the room and Jinseong Gamchang, the unemployed

Immediately after that, I will hit the computer with a 3-point shot out of the window and lie down on the bed and sleep well.

And even going back to the time right after being summoned in a dark fantasy wasn’t too bad.

Starting in a situation where you already know the answer is completely different from starting with a bare body in one pair of underwear.

At that time, it took 10 years to clear, but I barely cleared it.

If you go back to that time now, you can clear it in less than a year and see the return angle right away.

‘Because at the beginning of the summoning, even that madman is weak. Can you cook it from scratch? A week cut?’

And when Dave saved the continent and returned to Earth?

tell me what to do

You don’t even look at web novels and just live like you’re dead.

After all, Zeke wanted to go if he could go to the past.

It was still unclear how to return from here.

Zeke nodded.

“Yes, if I could go back to the past, I would.”

Serena looked like she was about to cry.

“You don’t even remember?”

‘I see. Doesn’t he know that I’m a different person from my body?’

However, I can’t tell you anything about summoning or possessing.

It’s hard to explain and I’m glad I don’t get treated like crazy.

“Yeah, but I still want to go back.”

“… … Well, then, when you leave the military, the memories of that time may haunt the instructor again. He suffered so much that he even lost his memory… … !”

Serena pleaded with moist eyes as if to think again.

‘A painful memory? Oh, the stolen money and the academy instructor. You were still caring about that. It wasn’t even the female general’s fault, well, it was all because of Iriel.’

It was only then that Zeke seemed to know why Serena suddenly brought up such a story.

This body seems to be quite deeply intertwined with Iriel in the past.

But Iriel was asking me if I really wanted to regain my memories even though I had hurt him.

under. really.

I’ll take care of myself a little more.

Zeke found Serena’s delicate consideration both funny and ticklish.

Every time like this, I realize that this place is not a dark fantasy.

“I am OK. Serena.”

However, Serena’s expression still showed no signs of loosening up.

The corner of his mouth went down in worry.

Zeke put a hand on Serena’s cheek.

He gently lifted the corners of his lips with the tips of his fingers.

Then, as if embarrassed, she shuddered.

“If I say I’m fine now, it’s all thanks to you.”

“… … !”

Serena’s eyes widened.

“Didn’t you refill everything I lost there? That’s you, not Iriel.”

“… … ah.”

At Serena’s concern, Zeke gave a small smile.

At first, it seemed that her body, which was difficult to even smile awkwardly at all, had become a little freer recently.

Zeke added one more word to the silence.

With gratitude for the warmth that I had never received even when I was in a dark fantasy.

“Even if I went back to the past, would I be able to forget you? Serena. So don’t worry too much.”

“eww… … . Awesome!”

Serena’s face flushed as red as a ripe apple.

Hesitating, hesitating, a backward step.

‘Wow, this is too overblown.’

Zeke was also aware that he had said something embarrassing himself.

“Uh, what if you touch your face like that!”

Serena closed her eyes and said.

“Okay, I’m going out for a while!! Hey, some makeup!!”

Oh, you shouldn’t touch a woman’s face. Well, I did a lot of makeup.

Zeke nodded.

‘I wonder if it’s not the romance world. After all, makeup is a big problem for women here. I need to be careful.’

Zeke’s knowledge of romance has increased by 1.

after swip.

after swip.

Serena stood outside the door, clutching at her pounding chest and taking several deep breaths.

To a sensitive girl, Zeke’s words and skinship were very stimulating.

‘Ah, ah, Instructor… … … .’

Her hand moved to the cheek that had just touched Zeke’s.

Thick, masculine hands.

It seemed that the touch was still lingering on his cheek.

– It’s all thanks to you.

– That’s you, not Iriel.

– Even if I go back to the past, will I be able to forget you?

I heard the answer Zeke had just given me over and over in my ears.

Ah, why is there no recording crystal ball in my hand?

If there was, I could have recorded Zeke’s voice and played it every night before bed so I could fall asleep listening to it as a lullaby.

“Sorry. Uh, what should I do… … .”

Serena stomped her feet.

I felt like my body was floating as if I had been on drugs.

Of course, I’ve never done it before, but it must have felt like this.

The area around my heart is tightened so tightly that it hurts, and my eyes run dizzy.

Her mood showed no sign of calming down.

at that time,

“What are you doing here?”

After finishing her make-up, Iriel returned to the drawing room.

Damn-!

Serena slapped me on the cheek.

In an instant, she changed to her usual face.

Iriel looked at her as if seeing something strange.

Suddenly, he slapped me on the cheek and changed to an expressionless face.

No, the corner of his mouth that kept flinching was unpleasant.

‘Boy. Did I eat something wrong?’

Serena turned her gaze to Iriel.

“Uh, yes. It must be Iriel.”

However, he still couldn’t hide his excited voice.

Besides, Serena had just heard such a story from Zeke.

His jealousy of her had long since disappeared.

On the contrary, a sense of superiority welled up in his heart, not knowing that it was high in the sky.

“Ah, you’ve done your makeup. Whoops. Ailee did a pretty job. Let’s go in together.”

“What, what is it?”

Iriel bites his body with a rotten expression when she laughs and calls it friendly.

“Whoops. I have something to tell you, Instructor. Whoops. How did Instructor Zeke hum? Didn’t you say you were curious about whether you became my benefactor?”

“… … .”

“Whoops. And I’ll let you keep going to the academy. Fufufu.”

“…”

‘Why did he say this all of a sudden?’

What the hell happened while I went to fix my makeup for a while.

Iriel couldn’t adapt to the sudden change in Serena’s attitude.

“Whoops.”

“… … .”

That ice-ball laugh was very annoying, but

First of all, since what I was curious about was true, I followed Serena into the drawing room.

*

Iriel and Serena came back to sit in front of Zeke.

“First of all, the instructor is here. I’ll tell the instructor first.”

Serena said while making eye contact with the crest of Joheiden hanging behind Sieg.

Wanting to see if there was something there, Zeke turned his head slightly and looked behind him, but there was nothing there.

“Instructor.”

“Well.”

“Can you come with me to Justia’s banquet soon?”

Zeke’s eyebrows narrowed.

‘banquet? it? Isn’t that the nobles gathering together to sip drinks and talk about politics?’

To be honest, I wanted to refuse the position because it was annoying and did not suit Zeke’s taste.

But there must be a reason why she said this.

“Why?”

“Hmm, I know the instructor doesn’t enjoy that kind of atmosphere. But, this time, the instructor became Justia’s target.”

“It is, but…”

“You managed to get away with it this time, but maybe Justia won’t give up, right?”

Serena asked for Iriel’s consent. Iriel shook his head.

“Yes. Zeke, you know better… but Aunt Hella’s obsession is quite strong…”

Jack stroked his chin.

‘First of all, they must be busy chasing after the Lost Hope bastard… … . Still trying to bother me… … ?’

It was a pretty big deal, so I thought Justia wouldn’t pay attention to herself for a while, but the woman named Hella seemed quite persistent.

‘Then I don’t know what Serena is trying to do, but I’ll have to listen.’

“So, what does that have to do with attending Justia’s banquet?”

“There, I intend to announce that Instructor saved my life.”

“Why?”

“If you tell them on the spot that you are Joheiden’s benefactor, it will be quite difficult for them to touch you.”

‘ah,’

To be honest, it would have been easy for him to overthrow Justia even if he just stepped out.

What I did to avoid trouble

Serena and the people she cares about get hurt.

Getting into trouble because of that was not what Zeke wanted.

However, Serena’s proposal did not hurt herself or involve the people around her.

‘This is just lending a name.’

The best she can do.

A level of help that is not burdensome.

not bad.

‘Is it the right way?’

At that time, Iriel intervened from the side.

“So what do you mean Zeke saved your life?”

“Yes, Iriel, you should know in advance. I’ll tell you. Is it okay, Instructor?”

Serena glanced slightly.

Zeke nodded.

This plan was Serena’s strategy.

Zeke decided to see how far his disciple thought and how he acted.

Serena turned her head to Iriel and opened her mouth.

“First of all, I’ll tell you this first. Instructor Zeke has no memories of the past.”

“what!?”

Iriel’s eyes widened to the point where they couldn’t grow any further.

It was the same with Zeke.

‘No, you say that here!?’
