7. Student Council – 07

“Have you waited long? sorry.”

“… huh? uh, uh yes.”

Jin returned to the room with two teacups in his hands. In the back of the room, on the bed, Erekaya was still sitting upright with her body stiff.

But why is he showing such a restless expression?

Of course, from Erekaya’s point of view, it would be the first time she had ever been to a men’s room – this was also useless information that Erekaya had told her in her head – so it would be natural for her to be unfamiliar with it and feel a sense of rejection.

Jin said to stay as comfortable as in his room, but how many crazy people in the world would really live as comfortably as in their own room?

However, even taking that into account, the image Erekaya was showing now was a bit harsh.

He had hardened his body so much, and even though it was only a little bit, he was trembling so much that even Jin, who was watching him, felt as if his body was shaking for some reason.

– It’s nothing. It’s just that in the past, I was a virgin who was too pure and innocent. Well, even now it’s all about maintaining that aspect.

‘… pure? you?’

For some reason, when Jin said that in a way that made him feel sick, Erekaya spoke as if he was bragging about Jin.

– Of course, if I am not pure, who in the world will be pure? I’m a body that won’t even hold hands with another man except for my father until I die? Even if I searched the whole world, the only woman who could claim to be cleaner than me would be a nun in a monastery.

After saying that, Erekaya secretly whispered something to Jin as if telling her a secret.

– Aren’t you attracted? The me of the past, that is to say, the me of the present, is, so to speak, a woman like a blank slate who knows nothing. Even if she pretends to be calm and confident on the outside, she is actually an innocent woman who shudders just by entering the room of a strange man like that.

‘… But what can I do?’

Is this woman really crazy? But what are you saying?

– Tsk, even after coming here, you pretend you don’t know anything and pretend to be clean. Anyway, he’s a man with no nemesis. Does it bother me that I have to explain everything?

Aren’t men like wolves who like to dye innocent women with their own color? And you are a man who can be said to be at the forefront of such a wolf-like breed.

– But it’s okay. That’s right, I’ll allow everything. Even if you go as far as today, I will forgive everything. So feel free to do as you please.

– You don’t have to specify. Isn’t this all a step towards the future of mankind? Could it be that the lamb is trembling like that, no, isn’t it condescending to say that he won’t be able to eat a well-prepared meal?

‘If all the pure and innocent people die, it seems that the order will return to you as well.’

Leaving aside whether the current Erekaya is pure or not, and leaving aside the fact that what Erekaya secretly instigates is close to a crime, the difference in power between Jin and Erekaya is truly vast. .

If Jin misplaced a finger on Erekaya, it would be a good reward for her to slit Jin’s throat.

‘Stop talking nonsense and give advice as usual. It’s a really valuable chance to be able to have a conversation with you right now, just the two of us.’

Saying that, Jin hands over one of the teacups he was holding to Erekaya, who is trembling in front of her eyes.

The Erekaya in his head is so sly and impudent, but why does the Erekaya at this point look so naive and young?

The current Erekaya and the Erekaya in her head are beings with a gap of 10 years.

Then, during those 10 years, what the hell did Erekaya go through and what kind of time did she spend so much that her personality changed so much?

“…..”

Well, now is not the time to worry about that. It would be okay to ask Erekaya later when time overflows, but the opportunity to talk to Erekaya at this point is really rare.

It is a chance that I managed to get after a month of hard work. In the future, in order to seduce her, make her fall in love, and eventually make her happy, she will have to make some kind of relationship here.

“Okay, take it.”

“uh? Yes. Go, thank you.”

Saying that, Erekaya carefully accepted the teacup from Jin. After smelling the scent of the tea, he sips it in a truly elegant manner.

At most, a casual scene of sitting on a bed, holding a teacup, and drinking tea.

However, as a beautiful woman performs the scene according to impeccable etiquette, it becomes a picture-like scene.

Erekaya, who had been sipping the tea Jin gave her, seemed to savor the taste of the tea for a while, and then opened her eyes wide.

“… uh? Is it Earl Grey?”

“Isn’t that what you’re talking about? sorry then I just brought my favorite tea.”

“No, that’s not it. just… I’m curious.”

“what?”

“Actually, I… I like to drink earl gray. That too.”

Watching Erekaya say that while sipping tea, Jin felt a sense of guilt for some reason.

‘sorry… I actually don’t like cars very much. Earl Grey or something, I don’t even know what the hell it tastes like.’

As a modern person living in a civilized society of the 21st century, Jin prefers to drink coffee rather than enjoying noble hobbies such as tea.

Nonetheless, the reason Jin got into the tea and handed it to Erekaya was because he was well aware of the fact that she usually enjoys drinking Earl Grey.

– No matter how great I am, I’m only a seventeen-year-old girl at this point. And girls of that age are bound to believe in the keywords of destiny or coincidence.

‘Fate?’

– yes. Traditionally, the biggest way for people to get closer and closer is to create a common topic between them. In this way, ‘by chance’ something overlaps, and ‘by chance’, if each other’s taste is the same, that kid will eventually feel his destiny in it.

Saying that, Erekaya, who laughed softly, actually felt like a villain.

– You know everything I’ve told you about me, don’t you?

‘My name is Erekaya Del Pendragon. Blood type is A, height is 170.4cm, favorite food is earl gray and other mild food with a clean aftertaste, hobbies are reading and archery, propensity is to hate losing and do one’s best in everything, and the type of person I hate is An unclean and soggy man… .’

It was a strange line that seemed like it would appear at the beginning of a strange video for some reason, but there was no doubt that it was information that must be learned in order to attract Erekaya.

But is it really okay to do this? No matter how much it is for the future of mankind, is it okay to use cheats to seduce that naive kid?

… Eh, I don’t know either. Let’s think about that later. Now that I have a stone nose, who cares about whom?

“I brought dessert here, so let’s eat it together. Earl Gray usually goes well with something slightly sweet.”

“Ah, thank you. Actually, I also like to eat cookies with tea.”

While drinking tea, Jin and Erekaya shared seemingly insignificant stories together.

Of course, it wasn’t a big deal from Erekaya’s point of view, but from Jin’s point of view, it was a conversation that made my head hurt.

– Don’t slurp your words. Because I hate indecisive men the most in the world. When talking, only look me straight in the eyes. The Pendragon family teaches that communication is done through the eyes of people. In addition! I can’t keep my hands still. You have a nasty habit of fidgeting with your hands when you are having a conversation. Where did you learn that habit from?

‘… annoying.’

Erekaya’s voice whispered so loudly in my head that I couldn’t tell if the tea was going down my throat or my nose.

In addition, it was unclear what Erekaya in front of her was talking about. I’m just arguing with my spinal reflex with only the information inputted into my head.

“that’s interesting… . really.”

At the end of the conversation, which could be said to be short if it was that short, or long if it was long, Erekaya was looking at Jin with a strange look in her eyes.

“I think you and I have a lot in common. And… The conversation seems to go really well. When I talk to you, it feels like I’m talking to another me.”

“… is it?”

Of course it has to be. Because it is true that another Erekaya is actually sitting in Jin’s head.

All Jin did was reciting Erekaya’s words in his head like a spokesperson.

Erekaya, who was so excited and had a conversation with a somewhat flushed face, suddenly hardened her face.

And after a while, as if she had made up her mind about something, she opened her mouth to Jin.

“Jin, actually, the reason I came here today was because of the rumors surrounding you… At the same time, there was something I wanted to ask you.”

“What did you want to ask?”

“If you think my question is rude, you don’t have to answer. It’s okay to despise me. But I have decided that I must ask you this question.”

After saying that, Erekaya looked at Jin with sharp eyes that were completely different from before.

“You are known externally as a commoner who entered high school, but as the student council president, I know a fact that other students do not.”

“When you entered this school, you told everyone that you were a descendant of the Seven Heroes. And the dean of admissions and the president also acknowledged that you are a descendant of the Seven Heroes.”

“… By the way?”

“Yes, I also do not deny that you are descended from the Seven Heroes. No matter how vast this continent is, in order to rise to such a high level at a young age like you, you will need proper teaching from a famous family.”

“But a question arises here. Then, what kind of hero are you descended from?”

“Since Goddess and Thunder Emperor were supernatural powers, they probably aren’t their descendants. Seeing that Altina doesn’t know you, I don’t think they have anything to do with Count Serias. one minute.”

“Jin, what kind of relationship do you have with the Pendragon family?”

Looking at Erekaya staring at him with sharp eyes, Jin thought that something had finally come.

There was nothing to be surprised, embarrassed or frightened about.

In the first place, in order to make Erekaya realize all these facts naturally, didn’t he go out to the training ground every morning and make jokes such as swinging a sword, or dare to show movements that applied the ‘dragon dance’ in sparring with Hugo?

That said, Erekaya wasn’t a woman so stupid that she couldn’t notice anything when she saw so many rice cakes scattered around.

“Of course, you and I cannot be called strangers.”

Saying that, Jin raised one of his fingers and drew a small circle with it in the air. And at the same time, a ‘flow’ of strange power occurs around Jin’s fingers.

On the surface, it seems like a trivial action that just looks monotonous.

However, in the eyes of Erekaya, who has the ability of synesthesia, Jin’s movements must be reflected a little differently.

“Dance of the Dragon… !”

When Erekaya looked at him with her eyes wide open as if she couldn’t believe it, Jin smiled in repentance.

How much blood has been put into practice for the past month in order to practice this simple yet meaningful movement.

In practice, Erekaya is of no use to anyone, but at least in front of Erekaya, she can look like a master. In order to practice this move only for Gao and her bravado, she received all sorts of scolding from Erekaya, but seeing her wide-eyed in amazement There is something proud and ecstatic.

“Then, Jin, you are as I guessed… .”

“There is no need to say anything more painful. I think this is the end of my proof.”

Jin intentionally drew a line with a tone that seemed to be cut off.

The iron rule of lies, the first.

In order to deceive others, it is not necessary to talk about certain facts sloppily.

As if leaving room for something, only the minimum amount of information should be given so that the other person can let his imagination run wild.

That way, even if the lie is exposed later, isn’t there a way to fit it in or a hole to escape?

‘It’s really perfect.’

– Of course not perfect. Who is the ruse? Isn’t it bound to be perfect?

This created a link called alumni who learned the same martial arts as Erekaya. And this link will be of great help when approaching her in the future.

By the time Jin and Erekaya in her head were holding a toast while rejoicing in their hearts, Erekaya in front of her showed a hesitant expression and then opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

“then… Is it okay if I ask you one more thing?”

“What?”

“Your father and mother… So your parents… are you still alive Aren’t they both dead?”

“…..”

But everything is fine, but why is he suddenly hitting me with a pad lip?
