129 – Turns out engineering genius (3)

“Rebecca. I’m sorry, but would you like to go back first? I think I forgot something.”

“Uh, yes.”

Rebecca, who was very intimidated by facing Elena, replied hesitantly. How scared would that confident Rebecca Rose go? It seemed that the aftermath of combat practice was quite large. Even though time has passed, it has not yet fully recovered.

Michelle also saw with her own two eyes how she annihilated the monsters in the South, so Rebecca’s behavior was understandable to some extent.

To be honest, Elena Edelweiss’ strength is phenomenal, and even the most resolute Michelle would be blinded by the thought of meeting her as an enemy. If I had known this beforehand, I would not have made such a mistake. It was like spilling water and thinking about it, but it wasn’t without regret.

Contrary to what she had been told, Elena Edelweiss was not the weak-willed girl she was. In the first place, it was my mistake to try to test the girl who was appointed as the southern hostess for my subject. It wasn’t without regrets, but it wasn’t a good thing.

“Then see you later.”

“Okay, see you at the merchant building.”

That’s how I sent Rebecca first, and Michelle stood a short distance from the lab and waited for her to come. I sent a message with magic, so unless she was ignoring it, I would come out.

Of course, I wasn’t confident that Elena would come here because I didn’t do it with certainty, but should I say it’s an innate feeling?

For some reason, she had the feeling that she would come to see him. And Michelle’s feeling became a reality.

“Miss Michelle.”

A clear and elegant voice rang in Michelle’s ears.

The owner of peerless beauty that will make your heart pound even if you are the same woman. Elena Edelweiss contained her in clear purple eyes. Was this the first time I’d been alone like this without anyone else? Michelle almost looked at Elena in a moment of fascination, even though she knew she was coming.

Normally, it would be normal to stand out more in comparison with others around her, but she seemed to shine more when she was alone. It is like looking up at the bright full moon after the clouds have cleared.

When the opposite sex started to return, the first emotion Michelle felt was jealousy.

There is nothing lacking in appearance, talent, or family line. A person who can’t find faults even if he wants to find them. That’s why she became Damian Krause’s fiancée and future hostess in the South. But that’s probably why Michelle feels these feelings.

Michelle sent the burning emotion down into the depths of her heart. Blinded by jealousy, it was enough to test her once. Because of this, you don’t have to repeat the mistake you made the other day.

Now, she wasn’t stupid enough to not know that it was just a fleeting lingering feeling. Throwing away the feelings of defeat and jealousy, he talked to Elena, thinking about why he was standing here.

“Thank you for coming. Elena. It may sound a bit sudden, but I have something I must say.”

“Is there anything you couldn’t say at the meeting just before?”

In response to Elena’s answer, Michelle answered with a slightly raised corner of her mouth.

“I have no intention of telling others about my faults. It may sound a little pretentious, but Miss Elena Edelweiss. I want to be forgiven for what I did and said to you during the last hunting tournament. Will you forgive me?”

“Um, which one?”

“Everything. Please erase everything Miss Elena saw of me that day from your memory. I will accept all requests within my power, so please be lenient.”

Michelle bowed her head towards Elena, who looked down at her.

A year is not a very long time, but it is not short either. The events of the day had not been erased from Elena’s mind, but neither then nor now did she harbor any ill feelings toward those in the venue who were not pagans.

The territorial attitude of southern noble ladies?

From her point of view, it just feels cute like a child’s angtal. In the first place, Elena didn’t care about other people’s eyes, and she was indifferent to everything other than her interests, so there’s nothing to be said as sediment. They were moderate enough to not cross the line.

Rather, it was not that Elena was unaware that Michelle had taken the lead in drawing the line so that the other young ladies could not cross it.

So, now, Michelle’s apology was not only out of the ordinary, but also a sudden happening. The reason why she is so sure to check that she can get over it must be because she is a woman from the top with her enemies in the South, and because Elena is Damian’s fiancée.

The reason why he behaved differently from the previous time we met at the venue was probably because Michelle accepted Elena’s position. In the first place, the position does not require the recognition of others.

Upon receiving Michelle’s apology, Elena responded in a flat tone.

“I know very well that Miss Michelle refrained from crossing the line that other young ladies that day. This doesn’t seem particularly worthy of forgiveness.”

At Elena’s words that she would move on without further speculation, Michelle bowed her head once again.

“Then, with this, Miss Michel’s business is over. Didn’t you say you would write me a letter earlier? I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Elena and Michelle’s conversation ended here. Elena had the initiative in the conversation from the beginning, and since she had no intention of continuing the conversation, Michelle just accepted it and backed away.

Michelle was a bit bewildered because she didn’t think Elena would accept an apology so easily, but she regained her senses at Elena’s words.

“Ah, from now on, you can write down the business of the Franks in the letter regarding Krauss.

When the clear purple eyes met their shining eyes, Michelle felt that her eyes were piercing his heart. Is this feeling just an illusion? Watching Elena walk away, Michelle bowed her head once more and left.

way back to the lab. Elena was not in a good mood.

When I first met Michelle again in the lab, I didn’t feel anything special. As for Rebecca, she had never done anything to offend Elena. It wasn’t something that crossed the line to the extent of caring too much about what happened at the venue.

But when she called herself aside to ask for forgiveness, Elena could feel the previously invisible resignation on her face. It didn’t matter what it was about. The important thing was that Michelle’s appearance reminded her of herself in the past.

It was as if he was seeing himself who had given up on him in the past, and he couldn’t have felt better. Ironically, it must have been him who made her that way.

There was no guilt. He just didn’t repeat the mistakes of the past. That was all.

“Whoa…”

I take a deep breath and try to blow away the memories of the past.

Elena Edelweiss, who stayed quiet because she didn’t know my feelings properly, is no longer there. So the past will never repeat itself. Regret and lamentation once is enough.

“I have to go back…to his side…”

It wasn’t a big deal, but I unintentionally consumed my heart.

Whenever this happens, the face that comes to mind is, of course, Damien’s face. Thinking of his smiling face looking at me, I felt like I was already recovering, but how could my imagination be the same as reality? Elena accelerated her steps towards the lab.

his hand. His voice, his body odor, his mind. It is her own treasure that cannot be given to anyone else.

The way back wasn’t too far, but even that felt far away to her as her heart burned. She ran through the corridor at a speed that was not walking, but returned to the lab at a speed that was incomparable to the time she left.

“Damian…”

The moment she grabbed the doorknob and was about to open the door, an unexpected exclamation stopped her.

oh oh oh oh-!!!

?

Even though the door has not yet been opened, his admiring cheers can be heard. When I opened the door after clearing my mind to see what the hell was going on, there was Damian cheering as he stared at the sphere Eltman was holding.

“Ah…This is an Artificial Elemental.”

“You are so great!! Sir!!!!”

aaa!!

“to?”
