7 – First meeting with a sparrow

In the huge lecture hall, the faces of the students who were sitting and listening to the lecture were filled with boredom, as if they were going to stretch at any moment.

It was like a fate that even a hero who saved a world could not avoid.

In particular, the class of the professor who is working hard in front of me is famous for being the most boring class in the school, so I said it all.

Thankfully, the grades were given generously and the assignments were few, so I couldn’t help but miss the lecture.

“Sol, you’ll be fine.”

It would be nice to just watch TV quietly.

Even in the middle of the lecture, Doona was staring out the window at intervals, unable to concentrate on the lecture.

With the thought of the brush in her head, lectures have already been put on the back burner for a long time.

Doona didn’t notice that the men who were intoxicated by her beautiful appearance would tremble at her every time she moved and look at her.

“One or two, isn’t it worse today?”

“He must have been like that for the past week.”

“Is it okay? If I take this opportunity to go and talk to you, maybe I can get some points?”

“Idiot, look in the mirror and live. Our face itself is fear.”

“Two dogs-.”

Through Doona’s sensitive ears, the voices of male students chatting in one corner of the classroom flowed in.

Faces that are smoother than expected, facial expressions with a hint of playfulness. They were friends who seemed to be going well, but the level was too low to buy her attention.

Confessing to her, the prince of the duchy, the prince who will lead the empire, her fellow elf whose eldership was confirmed, and even the colossus that holds half of her world’s money, all failed to catch her eye.

“Huh.”

Doona snorted and begged for this lecture to be over soon.

She quietly closed her eyes in her bored heart.

And the imaginary plan for a date with Sol.

Let’s go to buy a smartphone together tomorrow. First of all, I have to buy only the device, buy a SIM card separately, and activate it in my name.

Also, I always manage what I do with my smartphone by installing a couple app, a location tracking app, and a babysitter app.

After that, the two of us went out to eat together and dragged the two of us to a barbecue restaurant, drank heavily, and…hehehe.

Doona’s mouth began to loosen up at the pleasant thought that seemed to make her heart explode at any moment.

If Sol saw it, she would make a dirty expression again. Fortunately, the students had no time to spare for the increasingly complex lecture content, so no one saw Duna’s face.

“Doona, are you okay?”

“Huh?”

After the lecture, someone worriedly spoke to Doona.

“Ga Eun-ah.”

“Professor is gone, why are you losing your mind?”

Lee Ga-eun.

A female college student who stands out with her shoulder-length light brown hair and sharp eyes. She is a good-natured person who enjoys a lot of popularity as a good friend here and there.

Doona and her classmate, a university student.

He was one of my close friends until he was summoned to another world because there were many overlapping lectures.

Come to think of it, it was not easy to adjust again after her return, so I rarely talked to other people.

“I’m fine. I just left some things at home, and that keeps bothering me.”

“What, I was worried for nothing.”

“Enough.”

How can I pass it safely? After thinking for a while, Doona made up her words appropriately, and she only told the truth.

There was nothing to be offended about by Doona’s reply. I didn’t say it was a person that I left behind, but it’s true that I left someone important to me.

“Doona, then the day after tomorrow is okay?”

“Why? Where to go to play?”

“No, if it’s okay with you, would you like to go to a meeting with me?”

“…Meeting?”

Doona frowned at her sudden invitation to meet, expressing her negative opinion.

It’s not enough for her to stick with him all day, but she cuts down on her time with him, and she doesn’t even want to go out to meetings and force herself to laugh and chat with men she’s never seen before.

She didn’t want to be thought of as an ugly woman flirting with other men.

She was unaware of the fact that she was not recognized as a normal woman at the point where she was already half confined to her abduction.

“Yes, a 3-on-3 meeting with the seniors from the same class. I just need to find one more person with you in moderation! You’re the face madam, right? Huh? Only when you come do those seniors feel like coming.”

“I hate it.”

Ga-eun was taken aback by Doona’s displeased look, but she possessed a lark and teased her with enthusiasm.

She tried to convince her Doona in her own way, but she only firmly refused without any hesitation on her part.

“Ah, Duna Yaaa of a of a-“)

“Don’t be cute, I just got a boyfriend.”

“…You?”

“What are those eyes?”

Ga-eun looked at Doona with suspicious eyes without realizing it at the unbelievable sound, and she finally heard a voice.

“Are you lying because you don’t want to go to a meeting?”

“No!”

“You’ve put a lot of iron on the men.”

However, Ga-eun remembered Doona and the things she had seen by her side, and she couldn’t easily believe in the existence of a person called Doona’s boyfriend.

She recalled an event from last year that she clearly remembered.

A student reputed to be the son of a wealthy family suddenly appears with a sports car in the center of the school while walking to eat with Doona.

She casually knelt down in front of her, holding out her bouquet of roses and shyly confessing to him.

And, it seemed that he had no interest in it. Doona’s cold-hearted attitude when she went to eat pasta with her, ignoring her briskly.

As a story I heard later, I remember feeling sorry for the news that the friend eventually gave up the shock of being ignored by Doona, took a leave of absence from her school, and volunteered to enlist in the army.

Gaeun remembers it as vividly as it was yesterday.

“Then follow me home.”

“Huh? Do you have a picture of us together at home?”

“My boyfriend, let me introduce you.”

In the end, due to her frustration, Doona decided to make it so that she wouldn’t even think about inviting her to a meeting.

At this point, you should have some serious skinship with Sol in front of Ga-eun. Ga-eun likes to spread rumors, so there will be fewer men flirting with her in the future, right?

Duna always had a plan.

“Huh, Doona?”

“…How else did those sparrows get possessed?”

“Wowaaa-. Doona, is that your boyfriend?”

However, she did not expect such a situation.

It is a situation in which the person you love hangs sparrows on their head, shoulders, and arms in front of their house, and is excitedly biting each other with a trembling expression.

“It doesn’t fall off?!”

Doona saw the sparrows still playing around as she approached, and eventually her patience reached the limit.

*

Doona started chasing the sparrows that were perched on my body with both her hands.

“Profit, go away you guys! This guy is mine?!”

The startled sparrows flew up one after another from my body, flapping their wings with sharp cries.

I gently soothe them, and no matter how much I try to blow them away, the guys who never went will fly away with just one stroke of her hand.

Due to her rough touch through my hair, even the last one flew far away, and Doona, who succeeded in chasing the sparrows away, was busy staring at the flock of sparrows flying far away with a spirited expression.

Now you’re jealous even of sparrows.

When I saw the sparrow flying far away, I felt sorry. To be honest, since I was hanging around with sparrows, I felt good because I felt like I had changed my job to a real druid.

“Duna, why are you taking out your anger on an innocent sparrow?”

“But they’re attached to you without knowing the subject!”

“Do you really want to do this?”

“I-I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Even though they are trying to say one thing, they say they haven’t done anything wrong and use it like a child.

Even so, the way he glanced at me reminded me of a puppy that notices its owner because it was wrong, so I closed my mouth without even realizing it.

Acting like a puppy, it’s so cute that it’s hard to get angry.

“Hey, Doona.”

“What.”

“Shall I go home today?”

The woman who had been quietly standing behind Doona from earlier spoke to her cautiously.

The age that appears to be in the early twenties and the sharp eyes stand out.

It was decorated in a modest way, but the makeup and clothes that could be seen subtly. If you pass by without knowing it, you might be mistaken for a scary person, but a tender figure watching Doona intently.

I could notice it right away.

This person is Doona’s few friends whom she has not seen for 10 days, and they are close enough to bring her to her house.

“Hello? Doona’s friend?”

“Oh, hello! My name is Gaeun Lee!”

“My name is Solashido from a foreign country.”

I took the place of Doona, who was still dumbfounded, and quickly greeted her.

The woman who introduced herself as Lee Ga-eun stared intently at my head and eyes with her eyes, her pupils quivering with a look of discomfort.

… I thought she was a real foreigner and was scared.

“Ga-eun? Feel free to call me Sol. Don’t be so nervous. I’m not a scary person.”

“Yes…”

At my words, Mr. Gaeun finally eased her tension a little.

The people of this Earth are also connected to that world after all, so maybe there is something special about it. I was intrigued, but it seemed wrong to continue talking here.

Thanks to the sparrow performance I performed earlier and the eye-catching appearance, Doona and Gaeun came and doubled the number of eyes.

“Let’s not do this here. Shall we go to a cafe and talk?”

“Oh, I like it.”

“Duna.”

“I’ll go if you hold my hand.”

Doona held out her hand to me.

The expression on her face is still gnarled, but her ears are red and she waves her hand up and down to grab it quickly.

I’ll catch you even if you don’t bother me that much.

I held her hand without saying anything.

Mr. Ga-eun looked at us like that, but she couldn’t hide her surprised expression, and she was looking at her Doona with wide-open eyes.

Why are you looking at me like that? Since we met for the first time today, I should know something.

“Doona! Doona! If you had a boyfriend that good-looking, you should have told me in advance! What, what, look at your hair color and eye color, you look like you’re of mixed race?!”

“I’ll tell you at school tomorrow, stay away.”

“Huh, thank you.”

On the way to the cafe, Mr. Ga-eun began to ask Doona in whispers. The resolute impregnable attitude that Duna had shown during her time as a warrior could not be pierced.

But there are actually people who can’t hear whispers that much, I can hear them all without missing a thing.
