768.

“You want me to marry Chelsea? What kind of nonsense are you suddenly spouting?”

“It’s not sudden.”

Avad smiled brightly.

Leo decided to listen to what this handsome friend of his was trying to say.

“Chelsea has been following you around a lot since the entrance exam day at Lumern.”

During their first meeting, Chelsea had growled at him just for being with Selia, but after the entrance ceremony, she showed great fondness toward Leo.

“You’re also the one who gave wings to Chelsea, who had no concrete goals, Leo.”

Avad sipped his coffee.

He smiled brightly at his friend.

“If she’s with you, Chelsea’s life will shine.”

“Even without me, she can shine plenty on her own.”

“That’s true too. But I think an even brighter future awaits her. Most importantly.”

Seeing Leo’s lukewarm reaction, Avad said.

“I’m not saying this just because she’s my sister. Isn’t Chelsea good enough bride material?”

Avad made a serious expression.

“She’s beautiful… her abilities are outstanding, and her personality is… well, I can’t say it’s good, but she treats those she likes very well. That child will definitely become more beautiful.”

Avad smiled brightly.

“I don’t think it’s a bad proposal for you?”

“She’s too young, so I’m not interested.”

“Chelsea is only one year younger than you, isn’t she? Do you prefer older women?”

Avad made a puzzled expression.

“Come to think of it, you don’t show much interest in the upperclassmen at school either…”

Having thought that far, Avad made a serious expression.

“Leo. I know you’re mature, but… just how far ahead are you thinking?”

“Let’s just say that right now I have no intention of dating anyone.”

“Why?”

“Don’t dig too deep.”

Leo stood up from his seat.

“If you truly care about Selia and Selia has feelings for you too, I’ll help as much as I can. So please don’t talk about my marriage.”

Avad nodded.

“Oh, and I’m warning you.”

“Hm?”

“If you end up dating Selia, don’t cause any trouble before graduation. Even I can’t clean that up.”

“Why are you worried about that?”

When Avad burst into laughter, Leo said.

“Did you forget about the trouble Ris caused? The uncles were pulling their hair out because of that. I don’t want to add to it. Especially since Selia is the young lady those two treasure like gold and jade.”

Though he seems strict, Seld Jerdinger cherishes his daughter tremendously.

If trouble were caused, he’d come running with a sword, foaming at the mouth, regardless of being Rwallin’s heir or whatever.

“Leo. Both Selia and I always consider the family’s prestige important. And though it’s awkward to say this… I may not be as much as Selia, but I’m also an honor student.”

Avad smiled slightly.

“Have I ever spread any romantic rumors while attending school?”

Avad had been tremendously popular since enrollment, not just for his family background and abilities, but for his looks.

Despite actually being a handsome man who receives confessions from all grade levels regularly, he’s never had any romantic rumors.

This meant he managed himself thoroughly.

At Avad’s words, Leo clicked his tongue.

“Do you think Niel and Marcell aren’t honor students, so they ended up dating?”

Niel, Selia’s guard knight, and Marcell, Avad’s closest mage.

As vassal families representing Jerdinger and Rwallin, they too had spent their school lives as nearly perfect honor students to avoid bringing shame to the Jerdinger and Rwallin names.

“What do Marcell and Niel have to do with… wait.”

Avad, who had been laughing, stopped short.

“Don’t tell me…”

“That’s right.”

It was the result of emotions that had been held back bursting forth all at once like a broken dam.

“Always remember your age.”

“What does our age have to do with…”

“It’s the perfect age to catch fire.”

Once a fire starts, it doesn’t go out easily.

That’s why playing with fire is scary.

“If we’re done talking, I’ll get going first. What will you do?”

“Hmm. I’ll go back to the dormitory.”

“Aren’t you worried about Selia?”

“I am worried.”

Though he was putting on a relaxed expression, he seemed quite concerned after all.

“But I’m not in a position to discuss her private life right now, am I?”

“Acting all nonchalant.”

Leo chuckled and left the shop.

Ding-a-ling- Ding-a-ling-

A cold wind blew.

Leo walked down the main street with crunching steps.

Before he knew it, Risinass was walking alongside him.

“You give pretty good relationship advice. Though you were clueless about your own love life.”

“That’s because you and Luna didn’t show any signs.”

Leo grumbled.

Risinass, who had been snorting at Leo, suddenly glanced at the candy sticks being sold at a street stall.

At that moment, Leo went to the stall and bought a candy stick.

“Eat this.”

“Huh?!”

Then he put it in Risinass’s mouth and walked away leisurely.

Risinass, eyes wide with surprise, approached Leo’s side with the candy in her mouth.

“Why did you buy it?”

“We’ve been together for years. How could I not notice when you want something just by looking?”

‘This guy is really incredibly perceptive about this kind of thing.’

Risinass made a slightly pouty expression.

If he’s this perceptive, why couldn’t he notice her own feelings? It was slightly annoying.

The streets of Deang, which had been chaotic due to the civil war, were overflowing with a hopeful atmosphere as the civil war showed signs of ending.

Though the civil war hadn’t completely ended yet, the period just before fighting stops is when people are most hopeful.

Thanks to this, night markets were opening and Deang’s atmosphere was generally bright.

Walking around the night market, Leo and Risinass spent time browsing and buying various items from street vendors or winning prizes through games like dart throwing.

In the everyday atmosphere, Risinass felt her heart racing.

“Wow, this feels like an ordinary date, doesn’t it?”

“It is a date.”

“What?”

Leo looked at Risinass with an incredulous expression.

“Then what did you think we were doing right now?”

“Hmm…”

Risinass, who had been flustered, soon smiled broadly.

“You’re right. It was a date.”

Risinass, in a good mood, hummed a tune.

“Did you play like this with Luna too?”

“We had fun. Well, that guy kept drinking the whole time though.”

“That’s so like Luna.”

Risinass burst into laughter.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting.

Risinass, who had been walking alongside Leo, glanced at Leo’s face.

Still a youthful face.

But because of his unique atmosphere, he didn’t look young.

His red eyes shone even more vividly in the red sunset.

‘This is enjoyable.’

The ordinary daily life that Risinass had dreamed of so much.

The happiness enjoyed within it.

‘I wish time would stop forever.’

Risinass, who had been having such idle thoughts, reached out his hand.

And grabbed Leo’s hand.

Leo, who had stopped walking, looked at Risinass’s face.

Risinass looked at Leo’s face like that, then smiled brightly and linked arms.

Leo sighed.

“If you had done this back then too, I would have noticed.”

“You must be quite resentful.”

When Risinass chuckled, Leo frowned.

“Of course I’m resentful. Because of you and that Luna guy, those young junior bastards call me an idiot and a moron.”

“Who does?”

“Your successor and that Luna guy’s successor.”

“Ah.”

“When they themselves like Lumern but can’t even confess… Next time I see them, I’m going to shave their heads.”

“Ahahahahaha!”

Risinass burst into laughter.

Then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“Oh, it’s Selia.”

At those words, Leo also spotted Selia.

Risinass smiled mischievously.

“Shall we take a little peek too?”

***

There was a group watching from afar the human and elf spending time at the night market.

“Wow, the atmosphere seems nice.”

“What, what’s with this pink atmosphere?”

“Right. The atmosphere really seems promising.”

“Damn it… This won’t do. I need to see tears pouring from that bastard’s eyes.”

Chen Xia, Eiran, and Runia gulped down their dry saliva.

Aris was stamping her feet.

No matter how much they were called Hero Candidates or whatever, as girls at an age when they were deeply interested in love, they found themselves getting absorbed while secretly watching Selia and Garin’s date.

Of course, there was someone who couldn’t get absorbed at all.

“The atmosphere is good? She’s just the usual Selia though?”

When Chloe tilted her head, Chen Xia made a pitying expression.

“Miss Chloe. Don’t just read magic books and weird difficult books, read some romance novels too.”

“Right. You should read books in a well-rounded way. If you only read specific books, your head becomes weird like Eiran’s?”

“You should read some of the books Eiran reads.”

“What’s wrong with my novel books?”

When Eiran made a tearful face, Chloe said indignantly.

“Eiran, do you have a book with you now?”

“I have one in my extradimensional space.”

“Let me see it.”

“Oh my? It would be quite stimulating for innocent Miss Chloe though?”

Chen Xia smiled brightly and teased Chloe.

Chloe snorted and received the book from Eiran.

And opened to the part where the bookmark was inserted.

Chloe, who read the content on the page, snorted.

“What? It’s nothing special.”

“What content is written on that page?”

“Content about the male and female protagonists bathing together.”

“That’s strange? This much should be sufficiently stimulating for Miss Chloe though?”

“You’re being ridiculous. I’ve even done it myself!”

Indignant Chloe ended up saying something she shouldn’t have without realizing it.

The girls who had been teasing Chloe were stunned for a moment.

“…Huh?!”

Shocked Chloe covered her own mouth.

“You’ve tried bathing together? With whom?”

Chen Xia, with a smile on her face, brought her face close to Chloe’s.

“Could that person be Lord Leo?”

“That… that…”

“What! What exactly is your relationship!”

“P-please tell us in detail!”

Runia and Eiran also rushed over eagerly and shouted.

“Wow… The Lumern kids are no joke…”

It was when Aris was muttering blankly.

“You guys. What are you doing hiding here secretly?”

“We were secretly watching because it seemed like Garin might confess to Selia… Huk?!”

Aris, who had been answering thoughtlessly to the cold voice heard from behind, looked back in shock.

There stood Selia, radiating a menacing aura.

***

On the rooftop overlooking the night market.

“What are those guys doing. Tsk.”

Leo clicked his tongue.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, hearing a voice from beside him, Leo turned his head.

There was Risinass with his eyes narrowed drowsily.

“Let me tell you, it was an accident.”

“Hmm? Must be nice? Having pretty girls say they like you?”

“Are you jealous?”

“Jealous, my ass.”

Risinass snorted and got up from his spot.

Watching such Risinass, Leo clicked his tongue.

“What do I need to do to make you feel better?”

“How unusual. You’re even caring about my mood.”

Risinass chuckled and pondered, then smiled slyly.

“Tell me about your past.”

“My past?”

“Yeah. Like stories about your first love, for instance.”

“I don’t have anything like that though?”

“Of course you would say that. Anyway, I’ve become curious about your past. It would be hard to do while sober, right?”

Risinass grabbed Leo and pulled him to his feet.

“Night will be coming soon too.”

As he said, darkness was approaching.

Risinass smiled slightly.

“Let’s have a drink.”
