13. Dating – 01

Back in time for a while, around this time yesterday.

The three of them moved out of the infirmary, where there might be a hearing ear, and moved to a quiet place with few people – in fact, there were only two people present here, but – face to face again and decided to enter the meeting again. .

“First, let me tell you a fact. Your chance to go on a date with Erecaya Del Pendragon alone will come sooner than you think.”

“… How the hell do you know that?”

“Because I have eyes that allow me to see things that normal people cannot see.”

Celica smiled lightly at Jin and patted her temple.

“Looking at the future, it seems that the student council tomorrow will create an environment where Erekaya del Pendragon can go to an amusement park alone with his master. I will lead the whole situation, so I think the master will have to sit still and quietly agree with my words.”

“Wasn’t it impossible for you to change the future that you foresaw were fixed?”

When Jin, who did not understand Celica’s words, asked, Celica nodded.

“That’s right. The moment I became an observer of the present time and space and read the cross-section of time that constitutes the future, the time axis that had been unchanging became immutable and fixed. I am a character who definitely exists in the present time, so the act of foreseeing the future turns into an act of fixing that future in the present world.”

“But if you say it backwards, it would mean that ‘other things’ other than the future I foresaw are not fixed. And if you know the ’cause’ of what will happen in the future, wouldn’t it be much easier to change only the ‘effect’ in that state?”

“… Well.”

… To be honest, I don’t quite understand what you mean. However, since there is a jjambab that has served as Celica’s owner for decades, it seems that you can understand, albeit vaguely, what she is trying to say.

“In other words, the senior is trying to fix only the future that is advantageous to him by looking at the future at a minimum, and changing the result to be met according to his will.”

“That’s right. Indeed, you are the master. You are truly brilliant.”

To put it simply, Celica foresaw the situation that tomorrow, Erekaya and I at the student council meeting might be able to go on a date alone, and if she foresaw something else, a situation beyond her control might come. In some cases, anything more than that would mean no foreknowledge.

Knowing the future and the results that will be derived from it, albeit fragmentarily, is in line with the saying that you can lead the future to your advantage as much as possible.

“But before that, there is something I would like to ask the Master. Master, what do you think the act of ‘dating’ is?”

“A date?”

I put on a somewhat puzzled expression at Celica’s unexpected question, but soon answered with an obedient attitude.

“Well, isn’t that the word for the act of a man and a woman spending quality time alone together?”

Incidentally, I thought of a date as being romantic, like hiding a diamond ring in champagne after renting out an entire fancy hotel restaurant, or sharing a first kiss while watching the sunset on the deck of a cruiser.

– Totally a compassionate mindset. How on earth can you be so old and think of such a delusion casually?

“… What did you say?”

Who is saying what to whom when he himself was a virgin until his death?

– Wash your ears and listen carefully. Traditionally, dating is not something you do for fun, but something you do to make your lover happy and have time to get to know your lover a little more.

-People don’t know each other very well. have a hard time understanding each other. And it can’t be a very natural thing. This is because people cannot hastily express their true feelings to others, and it is difficult for them to open their hearts.

– That’s why dating is an act that starts with the desire to get to know your lover. Knowing what this person likes, dislikes, is interested in, what they are interested in, feels sympathy for that person, and ultimately understands the lover. It is.

– And the joy you feel in the process is not a consideration. Because if you truly like someone, just being with that person makes this time more blissful than anything else in the world.

“… I know you so well, why have you never dated a man?”

In terms of theory, there is no such thing as a Ph.D. level at a very decent university.

“That woman is right. Dating is an act of getting to know the other person a little more and understanding them deeply. I have heard that men and women are separated from each other and the more time they spend alone, the stronger their affection for each other tends to fall. As such, it can be said that the more time they spend together, the higher the probability that Erekaya will attach affection to the owner.”

Complex. Did all the famous people who walked the streets with their arms crossed, watched movies, or took pictures of couples laughing while going on dates, did these kinds of psychological calculations?

– I hate to admit it, but I can’t deny that the ‘amusement date’ that she puts forward will be a very effective blow to me. Because, at this point, I was quite a stranger to entertainment and entertainment, and as such, when I enjoyed the pleasure of an amusement park for the first time in my life, I naturally developed a liking for the man next to me.

“Yeah, I know what you mean… Anyway, dating is a bit sudden.”

When I was dating Altina, I had a platonic relationship, but I had never done anything that could be called a date, so this date is no different from the first date in my life.

But do you think that such a pure and clean me can accept the first date of my life casually?

– do not worry. Of course, if you go on a date with me at this point in time, it will most likely lead to disastrous results, but there are only two people who could be called your helpers. Well, to me, the other one is a bit of an unreliable woman.

“That’s what I’m talking about on my side.”

– Anyway, you don’t have to worry about anything. If you just prepare and follow what we tell you, at least there won’t be any reason to ruin your date that day.

Well… I wonder if I can really trust two women who have never held hands with a man… .

But even so, there was no other alternative, so in the end I had no choice but to nod my head.

****

“… date.”

Student dormitory, Erekaya’s room located there.

At most, she returned to her room, but without even taking off her uniform, she sat on her bed in the corner of the room and muttered that with a blank face.

Erekaya is a trespassing maiden. It wouldn’t be strange to be called the best in the empire, except for the princess. She was a woman who could be said to be a high-level virgin who learned and grew up surrounded by people who looked after her from a very young age.

But even if she was like that, she could say that she knew everything she knew because she was her age.

Often in novels, women who grew up in strict confinement are often portrayed as ignorant beyond the level of not knowing much about sex-related fields, but that was completely different from the truth.

Because, basically, women from aristocratic families are born with the duty of passing on the lineage they were born with to their descendants, and in order to do so, they had no choice but to have a wealth of related sexual knowledge.

To put it bluntly, on the day I didn’t teach anything for no reason and then went somewhere and played with fire with a stern guy and lost my virginity, it was truly a disgrace to my family.

As such, Erekaya had a lot of knowledge about various things that happen between men and women, contrary to public perception.

So, of course, I knew very well what the act of a couple in their prime of life going somewhere alone was called.

“date.”

Yes. No matter how much I think about this and go through all sorts of considerations, the act of visiting an amusement park with Jin tomorrow… It must have been a date.

It’s not like he’s facing Jin in class A’s classroom as usual. Or, like in the student council room, it is not like facing Jin from the position of the student council president and secretary.

Only men and women, I was able to stay by his side while being faithful to that position, so if this is not a date, what on earth can it be called?

Moreover, as usual, there are no uninvited guests who intervene between the two. Women like Altina von Rudel Serias and Claire Delphine Mascarena can never accompany the expedition tomorrow.

Because tomorrow is only… Because Jin and I decided to go to an amusement park alone.

“… Ahh.”

Of course, nominally, he wasn’t just going out to enjoy entertainment or play with Jin.

This was only because he had taken the best course of action to supplement himself, who was vulnerable to entertainment and entertainment, and to resolve the request entrusted by the president as the student council president.

And considering Erekaya, who was not used to such a place as her status was her status, Jin was the representative of the student council and escorted her.

… But, but that kind of backstory has nothing to do with it. Not interested. Not interested.

At this moment, all her interests were focused on her date with Jin tomorrow.

I remember the very time I walked down the street with him not long ago, under the pretext of purchasing supplies for the student council.

At that time, Erekaya and Jin weren’t very close, so it wasn’t something that could be called a date at all.

At most, we ended up walking shoulder-to-shoulder on the street together, sharing our impressions of each other’s purchases, and after purchasing everything, sitting across from each other in a dessert shop and looking at his face more closely than usual.

And, crucially, the ending was not so good due to the intervention of unexpected guests.

But tomorrow is different.

As a result of Erekaya’s own research, the amusement park she and Jin will visit tomorrow is very large. And there are many things to see and things to enjoy.

The large size of the amusement park means that the probability of meeting someone she knows is inevitably reduced, and the fact that there are many things to see and enjoy means that the amount of time she can spend with him increases. .

If so, there is only one conclusion to be drawn here.

Erekaya can monopolize a man named Jin all day tomorrow. And that too, without any hindrance, just the two of you.

I can monopolize everything of him, feel everything of him, and enjoy his time alone.

Yes, only a woman named Erekaya Del Pendragon.

“jin.”

In fact, Erekaya doesn’t have much interest or interest in amusement parks. Because she was basically a person with no taste, and she was a woman who enjoyed more pleasure in pursuing a high level of personal life rather than entertainment to appease her personal boredom.

But none of that matters. No, I’m rather happy.

I don’t know why, but just the thought that Erekaya del Pendragon could be by my side all day with a man named Jin tomorrow fills me with ecstatic emotions.

I don’t care about my pleasure. I don’t need my pleasure. It is only my pleasure to be with you and to spend time with you.

“… I.”

Erekaya caresses the necklace hanging around her neck very carefully, but at the same time with a passionate movement.

Every time I touch this necklace, I feel alive. I feel connected to you. My whole body is filled with the feeling that I am with you.

Is this why people gift jewelry to others?

In order to ask you to remember yourself forever, and to relieve the other person’s loneliness even if you are not by their side.

Wrapped in a warm feeling as if Jin was hugging her, Erekaya gently threw herself onto the bed without even taking off her uniform.

It seems that today I will not be able to sleep easily because of the anticipation of tomorrow.
