505.

 

Flowers filling the streets.

 

Walking through the streets where countless flower petals fluttered in the festive atmosphere, Leo fell into thought.

 

‘Worry about Berkia.’

 

If Luna herself thought her lingering attachment was Berkia, then that must be right.

 

On one hand, he thought it was just like Luna.

 

‘I knew, Arron knew… and Luna knew too. We all knew Berkia’s potential well.’

 

It wasn’t hard to know that he would grow into a great magic swordsman without thinking deeply about it.

 

‘That’s why Arron and I didn’t worry much about Berkia when we left on our final journey. But Luna was different.’

 

He recalled Luna looking back toward Berkia until the very end.

 

She must have been worried.

 

A worry separate from being strong.

 

‘Being strong doesn’t mean your heart won’t break.’

 

Unlike Luna, Leo thought his disciple would manage well.

 

‘Actually, I was more worried about Bihar than Berkia.’

 

It wasn’t particularly because he liked Bihar more than Berkia.

 

It was purely because of Bihar’s past.

 

‘Anyway, I can’t think of a way to resolve Luna’s lingering attachment right now.’

 

Thinking this, Leo glanced at Eiran walking ahead.

 

‘Should I go to Elsalvechia when the festival ends?’

 

He recalled the Ersarr Family he had visited during his first year.

 

There would surely be traces of Berkia left there.

 

If she saw those traces, wouldn’t Luna feel at ease?

 

‘…I don’t know.’

 

Leo clenched his fist.

 

Though he was pretending to be calm, Leo’s mind was actually complicated too.

 

When Arron had disappeared after defeating Erebos before.

 

Leo had wanted Arron to remain in this era.

 

He had wanted him to enjoy the peaceful world he had created himself.

 

But Arron chose to return to his original place.

 

It was the same situation now.

 

Leo wanted Luna to stay in this era as much as possible.

 

It was purely the heart of caring for a comrade who had shared the Age of Calamity together.

 

“What are you thinking about so seriously?”

 

“Something about Luna.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Cal let out a small exclamation.

 

“She’s in a spirit state right now, right?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Then do you need to worry? It’s not an immediate problem. I think you can think about serious things slowly later.”

 

Cal also knew that it wouldn’t be good for a spirit to stay for long.

 

But he spoke calmly.

 

“I think you and Luna need to enjoy life more.”

 

“You’re a good guy, Cal.”

 

“Wow~ Being praised by someone who saved the world makes me not know what to do with myself.”

 

Leo chuckled at Cal’s cheekiness.

 

“Ah! Come to think of it, let’s stop by Kurazhu Street! Let me check if the auction item I submitted sold.”

 

At those words, Leo, Eiran, and Chen Xia nodded.

 

Cal went to the auction manager on the bustling Kurazhu Street to collect his settlement money.

 

During that time, Leo, Eiran, and Chen Xia decided to look around Kurazhu Street.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Come listen to the heart-stirring heroic tales of great heroes.”

 

Storytellers and bards were soliciting passersby.

 

It was such a familiar scene that Leo was about to pass by with a chuckle when.

 

“Today I’ll tell you about a secret in history. The story of the Hero of the Beginning, Kail.”

 

Someone was telling a story with a familiar voice.

 

Word must have spread that it was an interesting story, as the area was bustling with people.

 

“There was a woman who loved the Hero of the Beginning, Kail. It was Risinass, the King of Wisdom, who was the hope and bright light of the dark Age of Calamity.”

 

The storyteller spoke in a sorrowful voice.

 

“But the Hero of the Beginning actually loved someone else. It was Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, an elf who was like a single flower – beautiful, pure, benevolent, and noble.”

 

Due to the beautiful voice and shocking setting, the area around the storyteller was packed with audience.

 

“Young Master Leo, Luna seems quite drunk.”

 

Chen Xia said carefully.

 

As she said, there were several empty bottles scattered around Luna, who was telling the story.

 

“My goodness. To think Leo loved Luna.”

 

Eiran covered her mouth, not knowing what to do.

 

Leo was looking at Luna with narrowed eyes.

 

Regardless, Luna continued her story excitedly.

 

Luna’s story was full of immersion.

 

She told it as if she had really witnessed that era.

 

Of course, since she was actually there at the time.

 

Everything was true except for the relationship between Luna and Kail.

 

“The final moment arrived. ‘Luna. You can’t die! You said you’d love me when this fight ends! You left a mark of love on this cheek!’ ‘Sorry, Kail. I don’t think I can keep that promise.'”

 

‘…She remembers confessing to me?’

 

Luna had clearly said she didn’t remember when she came outside the Heroes’ World before.

 

But as soon as he heard the story about kissing his cheek, he could tell immediately.

 

Leo smiled coldly and pushed through the crowd toward Luna.

 

“Kail smiled sadly! Even Risinass, who had hated Luna until then, at Luna’s death… Eek?”

 

Just as the story reached its climax, Luna let out a scream.

 

She had made eye contact with Leo, who had somehow made it to the front of the crowd.

 

Leo said.

 

“Drag her over here.”

 

At those words, Chen Xia approached Luna without hesitation.

 

But Eiran hesitated.

 

For an elf, dragging away Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, was itself a great sacrilege.

 

“It’s okay. I give permission.”

 

But soon, hearing Leo’s words, she seemed to make up her mind and approached Luna.

 

With both arms grabbed from either side, Luna was dragged away by Chen Xia and Eiran as if being arrested.

 

“W-wait! You guys! I was so nice to you, how can you do this to me?! Especially Eiran! You…!”

 

“S-sorry.”

 

“Ugh! As expected, being nice is all useless! Let go! Let me go! You dogs of Leo!”

 

Luna shouted.

 

“What? What the hell is this situation?”

 

Cal, who had returned with Runia after meeting her while waiting to receive items after getting his settlement money, could only look bewildered at Chen Xia and Eiran dragging Luna away.

 

***

 

Leo’s group enjoyed the festival after joining up with Luna’s group.

 

During this time, Luna didn’t say a single word to Leo.

 

Luna, having sobered up from the alcohol, was too embarrassed by her misconduct to even look in Leo’s direction.

 

Leo also didn’t bother to disturb the embarrassed Luna.

 

He just looked at her with a somehow unpleasant smile.

 

‘Should I punch him!’

 

Luna clenched her fist with veins bulging as she shouted inwardly.

 

Throughout Lumeria City, there were many shops run by Lumern students.

 

Among them was a temporary cafe.

 

“Oh? It looks like a cafe run by third-year seniors?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Cal and Chen Xia widened their eyes as they looked at their school seniors.

 

Since it was a cafe run by Hero Candidates, customers were bustling about.

 

For Lumern students too, the Twilight Festival was a kind of school festival, making this possible.

 

“Oh!”

 

Then a welcoming voice was heard.

 

“Big brother!”

 

All eyes in the shop turned to one place.

 

The reason was simple.

 

A beautiful female student had called a male student ‘big brother.’

 

Cal and Chen Xia also made bewildered expressions.

 

“Senior Lil, don’t you feel embarrassed?”

 

At Leo’s words, Lil’s face turned red.

 

It was definitely not because she felt embarrassed about the form of address.

 

“Big brother. Please speak comfortably even in front of others.”

 

It was because Leo, who had decided to serve her as his master, was using formal speech with her.

 

‘If he’s going to do that, wouldn’t it be better to just call me master?’

 

While Leo sighed inwardly, Lil took their order and went back.

 

“What? Since when have you been calling Senior Lil big brother?”

 

“It just happened somehow.”

 

Leo spoke indifferently while resting his chin on his hand.

 

Before they knew it, the sun was setting.

 

Since the temporary cafe was located in Lumeria City’s Central Square, they could see at a glance the stage where performances were being held to celebrate the Twilight Festival.

 

On stage, famous bands and minstrels were singing.

 

“The atmosphere is nice.”

 

Luna muttered while resting her chin on her hand.

 

Then Lumern’s Music Club came up on stage.

 

Standing in the center was a familiar girl.

 

“It’s Chelsea.”

 

Cal exclaimed in admiration.

 

The Music Club had prepared not only musical performances but also celebratory performances.

 

Soon instruments began playing and Chelsea started to sing.

 

“-♬”

 

Closing her eyes with a beautiful voice, from the Heroes of the Cataclysm to the Great Heroes.

 

It was a song filled with gratitude for those who had worked to save this world.

 

Everyone had blank expressions at Chelsea’s singing voice.

 

When the song finally ended, Chelsea smiled brightly and everyone in the square sent applause and cheers.

 

Luna smiled as she watched that scene.

 

“It’s dazzling.”

 

Before they knew it, the sunset was setting.

 

But to Luna, this scene was as dazzling as sunlight.

 

Leo, who had been silently watching that sight, sighed deeply inwardly.

 

***

 

After the sun set, the group first returned to the dormitory.

 

It was to organize all the things they had bought while looking around the festival.

 

Luna, who came to her room, organized her luggage.

 

Most of it was magic-related items.

 

Luna looked at the magic books she was writing in one corner of the room.

 

They contained magic that Luna had created after seeing the mages she thought of as the future.

 

Luna, who had been wearing a gentle smile, took out a bottle.

 

“By the way, this really resembles that crappy medicine.”

 

It was when Luna was tilting her head.

 

Knock knock-

 

“Come in.”

 

When she answered the knocking sound, Leo opened the door and entered.

 

At that, Luna made a startled expression and turned her head.

 

“Hey. You remember confessing to me, right?”

 

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

 

When Luna’s face scrunched up, Leo curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Don’t play dumb! I know you remember everything from when we defeated Jerdiak in the Heroes’ World.”

 

Luna, thinking she was caught, made a frustrated expression then soon snorted.

 

“Fine! I remember! So what!”

 

“Why did you lie and say you didn’t remember?”

 

“Because you were so nonchalant it was annoying!”

 

Luna shouted loudly.

 

Looking at such Luna, Leo frowned deeply.

 

“And what was that story from earlier? Because of that, rumors are spreading on the street right now that I liked you!”

 

“That’s great!”

 

“You could just tell the truth, so why are you spreading false rumors!”

 

“I’m definitely going to make it seem like that’s true! I’m going to brainwash all the other kids too! That you used to like me!”

 

“You chatterbox.”

 

“I endured my embarrassment and confessed to you! How can you be so nonchalant?!”

 

“I can be nonchalant. If you had shown signs from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.”

 

“Ah! So frustrating! Then how did you know that Risinass liked you?! He showed even fewer signs than me!”

 

Actually he had shown signs, but Luna just hadn’t noticed at all.

 

“I found out by reading the letter he left behind.”

 

“So you didn’t know while he was alive?”

 

“Right.”

 

“Ah! Really! Why on earth did I fall for such an idiot! And why does he like this idiot!”

 

Looking at Luna stomping her feet and throwing a tantrum, Leo chuckled.

 

“The one who fell in love loses.”

 

“If you move that mouth any more, I’m going to kill you.”

 

Luna growled.

 

“I confessed while even kissing your cheek! Give me back my confession!”

 

“Say something that makes sense. And what’s the big deal about kissing my cheek.”

 

“It is a big deal! Risinass could never do something like that!”

 

“He couldn’t. He even stuck his tongue in my mouth.”

 

Crack-!

 

Luna was so surprised that she unconsciously put strength into her grip.

 

Accordingly, the bottle she was holding also shattered into pieces as if it had burst.

 

Naturally, the contents inside also splattered everywhere, and Luna was drenched in it.

 

Luna, who was too surprised, opened and closed her mouth.

 

Then she rushed at Leo, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him violently.

 

“When! When exactly!”

 

“Before, when I saw him in the Heroes’ World.”

 

“Don’t be ridiculous! That gentle Risinass would never do such a thing! You must have pounced on him! That’s what happened!”

 

“Not at all.”

 

“He was a complete perverted dragon!”

 

“Aren’t you being overly naive?”

 

Leo teased Luna.

 

Luna, who was thoroughly irritated, grabbed Leo’s collar even more forcefully and shook him.

 

The two people, who were struggling while pressed close together, suddenly felt something strange.

 

Sizzle-

 

The sound of something melting.

 

“Wait, why are these clothes like this?”

 

“Don’t try to change the subject!”

 

When Leo realized the oddity and spoke, Luna’s face turned red to her ears as she glared.

 

“Hey, wait. What was that thing you just broke?”

 

“I bought some perverted potion that the Old Man made at the auction house, something like a love potion or whatever.”

 

“What?”

 

Leo showed a rarely seen panicked expression.

 

And he hastily pushed Luna away.

 

Drip-

 

Luna also realized something was wrong and looked down at her body.

 

And seeing her clothes slowly melting away, she let out a scream of horror.

 

“What! Why is this actually real!”

 

“That bastard Cal…”

 

Luna screamed while Leo clicked his tongue, realizing who the culprit was.

 

Eventually, Leo and Luna were left in their birthday suits.

 

“Inventing such a potion! I’m going to kill that perverted Old Man!”

 

“He’s already dead.”

 

“I’ll kill him twice!”

 

Luna’s furious voice echoed throughout.
