1. The 10th Regression – 06

“To flirt with the past you? To make you fall in love?”

Like someone who heard that a dog laid eggs, Jin was ridiculous, but Erekaya herself was surprisingly serious.

– Jin, let me ask you one question first. As you said, the past me was a truly perfect woman with a beautiful appearance, overflowing with talent, and even a lot of money and not lacking in power. do you agree

“So what.”

– I’ll understand what you mean by agreeing. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that it’s impossible to make me happy in the usual way. Since ancient times, human beings feel happiness in filling up the shortcomings they lack, but I have had everything since I was born.

“That’s great, yes.”

Erekaya was a woman who was so deeply narcissistic that Jin stuck out her tongue. No, if you look at it objectively, everything is true, so should I describe it as a woman with clear self-objectification?

– But like everything in the world, there was one thing that I lacked. Even though I was a woman who had everything, it means that even though I was that kind of person, I didn’t have only strengths.

Erekaya let out a long sigh as if she had witnessed the sky collapsing.

– It was that I was too perfect. Because he was so perfect, he naturally had no choice but to develop a better eye for men. Because isn’t it the providence of nature that in order to stand by the perfect woman who is called me, I must be a man worthy of her?

“…..”

At this point, Jin didn’t want to get involved in whatever Erekaya said in the future.

– I couldn’t count the number of men who attacked me like a bug on a flower, but there was not a single man who met my picky eyesight. Even the crown prince of the empire was not strong enough to reach the passing line I suggested.

“… Can you please tell me the conclusion? I’m getting a little tired of listening to you.”

– Hmm, anyway, he must be a man with a short patience. I still have a lot of things I want to say, but I’m already complaining.

Erekaya, who grumbled like that once, soon calmed down her voice.

– Anyway, what I want to say is this. I was also a girl and a woman at the same time. I didn’t express it outwardly, but I also had a lot of interest and interest in dating like my age.

– But I’ve never experienced a relationship in my life. This guy and that guy all felt like chaff, but there was no way a proper relationship was possible. After I became an adult, I was so busy preparing for the succession ceremony and everything that I didn’t even have time to meet a man.

Erekaya let out a deep sigh, saying that thanks to her, she was in a miserable situation where she hadn’t been able to properly hold a man’s hand even once at her age.

– In other words, the way you make me happy is not that difficult. If the way to make a person happy is to fill in their flaws, you can easily satisfy them by flirting with me and making me fall in love. How about it, even if you think about it, isn’t it really a simple method?

“…..”

After hearing Erekaya’s explanation, Jin forgot what to say. Are you saying this woman is really out of her mind?

“There are many things I want to say, but let me ask you a few questions first.”

– any amount.

“Didn’t you just say that you were picky about men in the past? But how the heck do you want me to flirt with you from the past? It hurts my pride to say these things out of my own mouth, but I don’t know how to seduce a girl.”

– Huh… did you have such a problem

At Jin’s words, Erekaya let out a laugh mixed with ridicule. If she had been in front of Jin’s eyes, it couldn’t have been a laugh so thick that he would have hit his head.

– Well, it is an undeniable fact that you are a man who lacks a lot when viewed objectively. He’s not overwhelmingly handsome, he’s not smart, he’s not from a good background, and he doesn’t have money or power. Really, now that I say it like this, I can’t help but be a man who is really lacking.

“You want to fight me right now?”

Jin growled, but Erekaya ignored him and continued talking.

– But don’t worry. Even though you are a man who falls far short of my standards, don’t I exist by your side instead? It is safe to say that no one knows better than me what the past me tasted like, what I liked, and what I would feel affection for. Isn’t it?

That’s right, of course. Because the target is the self in the past.

– In the first place, it’s even more strange that I stick to the side and give advice from one to ten, but I can’t flirt with one. Even if it’s me in the past, after all, I’m a kid, and I’m still cooking a woman who hasn’t gone away from the smell of breast milk.

“Then, is it not that difficult to seduce you from the past?”

– Stupid, did you listen to what I said up until now? Didn’t I tell you The woman who called me was a perfect woman with no flaws. Let me tell you in advance that it would never be easy to seduce me like that.

“…..”

Which rhythm should I really dance to? Why do you keep changing your words?

“Can’t we just cut it all off and tell you everything about the past? Well, if you were sane in the past, you wouldn’t blindly believe me, but if you help me, I think I’ll be able to convince you enough.”

For example, I don’t think it’s impossible to convince her by telling the information that only Erekaya del Pendragon knows, or by telling the future information that will happen soon… .

No matter how much I think about it, this seems much more realistic than the crazy thing of seducing the daughter of a duke and making her fall in love with him.

– No, it’s the other way around. That method is risky in many ways.

However, Erekaya directly opposed his words.

– When you think with common sense, would you believe that you are a regressor when you see a person who recites information that only you know? Perhaps the me of the past thought there was a traitor stealing information from within the Pendragon family. Because in the past I was a very reasonable person.

You do a good job of packaging the fact that there are so many doubts as being reasonable.

– In addition, if you hear the explanation that the end can be prevented only if you become happy, there is a possibility that you will not feel happy with the burden. After all, happiness is not a factor that can be artificially created. Even if it could be made, it would not be happiness, it would be just falsehood and deceit.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s what you said.”

I never thought such common sense words would come out of the mouth of a woman who spews absurd words to flirt with herself.

“By the way, everything is fine, but how are you going to approach the noble lady and the only heir to the Pendragon dukedom? No matter how much I think about it, the problem seems to be that a rogue on the street without a mediocre background gets close to the daughter of a duke.”

– No problem. Because at this point, I am in an environment where I can easily approach even a man like you who lacks in background, appearance, and ability.

“what is that?”

– Nineveh Academy. have you ever heard of

I’ve never heard of it. I’ve been rolling around in this world for over a hundred years, how can I not know where it is?

Nineveh Academy. To put all the rhetoric aside and talk about the main point, it is an educational institution that nurtures human weapons.

It’s an educational institution, and it teaches various studies, but that’s just a bonus. Can you believe that more than half of formal education hours are in combat-related classes?

In fact, it is known that in the past, it was not an academy but a military academy, but it was changed to the current name because it smelled too military.

By the way, the reason why Jin knows so well is because he also seriously considered trying to enroll here.

In order to fight against the demise or to survive in this world, it was indispensable to improve personal abilities, and Nineveh specialized in such methods.

To be honest, what does Jin, who has lived in the 21st century, know about how to improve his skills? As for martial arts, I only did a few Taekwondo kicks in the army.

However, for various reasons, Jin had no choice but to give up on entering the academy.

The biggest reason for this is that it is the most prestigious school in the empire, so it is a place where children of all noble families enter the school, and it requires a thorough background check as befits an institution that trains students into human weapons.

When you think about it, it couldn’t have been normal. Wouldn’t it be more strange to pick up people who don’t know where they came from, educate them diligently, and develop their skills? Seriously, if you’re a spy from another country, how are you going to deal with it?

‘Of course I’m not a spy.’

In fact, it was even worse than that. Because I am a smuggler who has crossed the dimension.

– In the past, I was studying there. No, I can’t simply say that I’m in school. Because I’m serving as the student council president there.

“student president?”

I thought that it was really diverse, but I also thought that it was natural for the heir of the Pendragon dukedom to take on at least one such good-looking combat coat.

– Due to the nature of the student council president, who has to oversee all students at the academy and have to pay attention to them, there will be plenty of opportunities to approach me. And if the me of the past showed a gap for a moment, I would not miss the opportunity and bite the scruff of the neck. Yes, just like when a tiger goes hunting, it seeks the golden opportunity while hiding itself.

“By biting your lips and sucking on the nape of your neck, that’s for later, and I think it’s better to consider how you can enter Nineveh first. As I said beforehand, the security of Nineveh is as strict as that of the imperial palace. It’s impossible to infiltrate head-on.”

– I had no intention of making you imitate a phantom thief. In the first place, since it was in the early days of regression, it was a topic that did not have much power.

When Erekaya said that she hadn’t expected it from the beginning, Jin was a bit moved, but she was moved.

– I have all the ways. I will specially enroll you as a special student.

“A special student?”

– For reference, my preference is a fresh and pure romance between students. No matter how old the country is, isn’t it really cute?

Saying that, Erekaya burst into laughter.

– So what do you do? In order to hunt tigers, wouldn’t one have no choice but to become a tiger first?
