805.

‘Boyfriend?’

Rea made a slightly incredulous expression.

Roon having a boyfriend?

It really didn’t suit her at all.

Of course, Roon was popular with many men.

Beautiful looks that would make anyone lose their mind at first sight.

And her eyes, which seemed somehow lonely due to her sense of loss over Kail, strangely stirred protective instincts.

Was that why? Even knowing about Roon’s overwhelming strength, there were many who boldly declared they would protect Roon directly.

But even so, there was no way Roon could have someone she’d call a boyfriend.

‘Because Roon has Kail.’

An irreplaceable precious existence.

Her feelings toward Kail were stronger than her own, if anything, and definitely not weaker.

Such a Roon having a boyfriend?

‘Did she misunderstand? Come to think of it, Chelsea mentioned it. That she moved together with a man named Leo.’

He was someone not in her information.

According to Chelsea, he was tremendously skilled and seemed quite close to Roon.

When Chelsea talked about Leo, Rea hadn’t listened carefully.

She had been too busy worrying about the dramatic changes Chelsea and Iliana had achieved.

“The relationship between those two was quite heated, you know?”

At Raina’s words, Rea let out a hollow laugh and shook her head.

‘She must have seen something wrong and misunderstood.’

Thinking that Roon couldn’t possibly do such a thing, Rea turned her head toward the monster legion.

‘Anyway, I need to quickly deal with these things and join up with Roon.’

Even though Roon said she wasn’t alone, it was still a dangerous situation.

Rea, who was about to use summoning magic, suddenly looked at the arrangement of the constructed defense line.

‘For something hastily put together… it’s quite efficient.’

“As expected of Lady Raina. You’ve constructed the defense line very efficiently.”

“Huh? I didn’t do this though?”

“What?”

“Cal over there did it.”

“Cal?”

Rea looked at Cal with slightly surprised eyes.

“Cal, that mana potion you gave me earlier. Do you have a few more bottles? If you do, hand them over while I’m being nice.”

“Hey, are you extorting me right now? And it’s incredibly precious, made with time, effort, and money!”

“If I find them by searching your body, it’s one punch per bottle?”

“I really don’t have any! I only made one bottle as a prototype!”

“Miss Runia, you really seemed like a thug just now.”

Cal looking terrified and Runia being brazen.

And Eiran pointing it out from the side.

‘Cal shouldn’t have experience with this kind of large-scale combat, right?’

To instinctively conceive such an arrangement.

He naturally knew how to efficiently deal with enemies.

At that moment.

Breaking through Rea’s magic, the monster legion reached the defense line.

Rea stepped back and observed the battlefield situation.

A moment later.

Cal began supporting the combatants while reading the flow of the battlefield.

Cal’s movements, having aspired to be a supporter since enrollment, were breathing vitality into the battle.

Crucially, at some point Cal was naturally commanding those fighting monsters with the hero Raina at the forefront.

Broad vision. Quick situational judgment.

And the ability to place people in the right positions at the right time.

‘A commander.’

There are many powerful heroes.

But the ability to draw out those heroes’ capabilities and unite strong-willed heroes together is rarer than strong heroes.

‘That child had… such an ability?’

Rea’s eyes wavered.

‘What on earth… was I looking at for a whole year?’

Chelsea and Iliana, who had bloomed possibilities at Lumern that she hadn’t seen, despite thinking she was guiding them well.

Even Cal’s unexpected ability, whom she had thought had no prospects as a hero and had recommended withdrawal.

‘What… was I looking at in the children?’

She bit her lip.

When strength entered her clenched fist.

Flash! Pababababababat-!

Giant arrows of light poured down like rain between the monster army.

When everyone looked up at the sky with surprised eyes, Roon was standing there holding her staff.

“Now that Roon has joined too, this is a won battle!”

Raina grinned and raised her sword.

“Everyone! Let’s annihilate those disgusting monsters!”

“Yeah!”

Morale soared.

Roon, who had been standing in the sky with flight magic, glared at Rea with an extremely annoyed face.

‘That girl!’

After reincarnating and meeting.

Roon had asked Rea several times whether she had feelings for Kail.

She had no choice.

The person who had been with Kail the longest was none other than Rea.

She believed in Kail’s potential more than anyone and thought they matched best when watching from beside him.

Having spent such a long time together, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had feelings.

But despite her persistent questioning, Rea had denied it several times.

Rather than hiding the fact that she had feelings for Kail, the disappointment of not being told honestly was greater.

That’s why she had told Leo not to come to this place.

She was being spiteful because she was annoyed.

Roon, who had been glaring at Rea like that, hesitated.

A face no different from usual.

But Roon’s eyes could clearly see it.

‘She looks particularly troubled today.’

They had lived like real sisters in their previous life.

As such, Roon had seen Rea struggling more than other companions.

Roon’s gaze turned toward where Rea was looking.

And she discovered Cal who was there.

‘Leo said that Rea couldn’t see Cal’s potential.’

Roon recalled Rea from two years ago, who had confided her worries about Cal.

‘She said he had the skills to advance but she couldn’t find his potential?’

Roon, who had been glaring at Rea making a wavering expression, scratched her head vigorously and made a sullen face.

“Really… I can’t even hate her comfortably.”

***

The attack of a monster army that occurred in a peaceful rural territory.

The residents of Flobe Estate all trembled in fear at a disaster they had only heard of in fairy tales.

But as if to save them, heroes defeated the entire monster army.

So the residents of Flobe Estate held a small festival to express their gratitude to the Heroes.

“Oh, this looks delicious.”

Raina went over to the residents roasting a whole pig and her eyes lit up.

Cal, who had been licking his lips while holding a fork and plate in front of it, widened his eyes in surprise.

“Huh? Weren’t you invited by the Nobles, Lady Raina?”

“I absolutely hate that kind of stiff atmosphere. I prefer this kind of atmosphere.”

Children from Flobe Estate flocked around Raina as she smiled brightly.

“If it’s Lady Raina, you’re the Flame Witch, right?!”

“You’re so pretty!”

“Aren’t the monsters scary?”

The fame of the Flame Witch had spread even to this rural territory.

“Hey! You rascals! You shouldn’t bother the Heroes.”

When an old man among the residents roasting the pig scolded them, Raina laughed cheerfully.

“It’s fine. The children are cute.”

“You’re pretty too, big sister!”

“You look like a princess from a fairy tale! Sister!”

“Ohohohohoho! You have good eyes.”

Cal muttered to himself as he watched Raina laugh happily.

‘Actually, she’s old enough to be an auntie…’

“You know, I felt this earlier too, but you’re surprisingly brave?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You were thinking I’m old enough to be an auntie, weren’t you?”

“Cough? Do you have mind reading abilities or something?”

“I was just guessing, but it seems to be true?”

Grab-!

“Hiiiiek!”

Cal made a terrified expression as he looked at Raina grabbing his shoulder.

The other people from Rodren who weren’t invited to the Nobles’ party burst into laughter at the sight.

They were people who were sick of the luxurious parties of the Nobility and preferred this kind of simple party.

When their eyes met Raina’s as they were laughing, they hurriedly turned their heads away.

“It’s peaceful.”

“How should I put it, the situation earlier was like a nightmare.”

“That’s right. But as expected of Senior Roon. To repel a fragment of Erebos.”

“Lord Leo seems amazing too. But I haven’t seen Lord Leo since earlier?”

Runia and Eiran were having a conversation.

“By the way… A fragment of Erebos has awakened, will things be okay from now on?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. What’s the big deal about just one fragment?”

Roon plopped down next to Runia, who had a worried expression.

Then he brought a large beer mug to his mouth and started gulping it down.

“Puha! Tastes good~! Burp!”

When Roon wiped his mouth with his shoulder and let out a light burp, Runia’s face turned pale.

“R-Roon senior. Please maintain your dignity.”

“Huh? Dignity? Does that feed you?”

“…Are you drunk?”

“I don’t get drunk from this much!”

Runia and Eiran looked slightly flustered as they saw Roon in his completely relaxed state.

Roon, who reeked of alcohol and had slightly unfocused eyes, was clearly drunk to anyone who looked.

But seeing Roon looking happy, the two Elves burst into laughter.

As Roon was chatting and giggling like that, he suddenly looked toward one side of the party hall.

Corner of the outdoor party.

Someone was sitting there silently.

“What’s that gloomy thing doing over there?”

Roon frowned slightly and approached Rea carrying two beer mugs.

“What are you doing alone looking so pitiful?”

“Ah! Roon.”

Rea looked at Roon and smiled bitterly.

Roon plopped down next to Rea and shoved a beer mug into Rea’s hands.

Then he gulped down his beer.

Rea just stared at it quietly while holding the beer mug.

After a moment.

“Roon. I… I was wrong…”

“Hey, you damn fraud lizard.”

“Huh?”

Roon stared intently at Rea.

“You liked Kail, didn’t you?”

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

“I figured it all out. That you liked Kail too.”

Rea’s face stiffened slightly.

Roon snorted as she looked at Rea and said.

“Why didn’t you tell me honestly? Would I have eaten you alive if you told me honestly?”

“…Sorry.”

Rea smiled bitterly.

“I was afraid it would make you feel worse.”

“Hmph. My taste in men isn’t completely ruined. Seeing that you liked that bastard too.”

“Or maybe we’re both ruined? Seeing that we liked such an idiot.”

“…Maybe? That stupid bastard.”

Roon made a sullen expression and looked at her half-empty beer mug as she spoke.

“Rea.”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t think you were wrong.”

“…”

“I think you’re just wandering a little.”

Roon tilted her head back to look at the night sky.

She could see stars shining as if they would pour down.

“If it were 5000 years ago… a single mistake… a brief wandering would have been directly connected to the world’s destruction… but not now, right?”

“…”

“Don’t try to shoulder it alone like 5000 years ago. It’s become heavier than 5000 years ago to carry alone. Let’s share the burden with us. If not that…”

Roon raised her head.

She could see the Heroes who risked their lives for the world after 5000 years had passed, and their budding successors.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to share the burden with future generations too?”

“You’re much more mature than me.”

“I realized it recently too. I was foolish.”

“…”

Rea closed her eyes.

Then she said.

“I’m sorry for hiding about Kail.”

“It’s okay. I was being sharp too, wasn’t I?”

“That’s true.”

“Actually, I was worried because if you became a rival, I thought I’d have no chance…”

Roon opened her eyes drowsily and tilted her head slightly to look at Rea.

And she chuckled softly.

“Now that I think about it, you have your own advantages and I have mine. I don’t think there’s anything to feel inferior about.”

“…Where exactly are you looking when you say that?”

Without saying a word, Roon poked at Rea’s chest with her finger.

And she sent Rea a very pitying look.

“You’ve become even poorer than in your previous life?”

The corners of Rea’s eyes trembled.

Her lips repeatedly twisted into a fierce expression.

“I’m going to kill you, you damn drunk elf.”

“Now you’re acting like yourself.”

Roon giggled with delight.

Watching such Roon, Rea pressed her temples and said.

“By the way, how did you know I had feelings for Kail?”

“Heh. That’s a trade secret.”

Roon made a smug expression before downing the rest of her beer.

Watching such Roon, Rea made a troubled expression.

In this world, there were only two pieces of evidence that she had feelings for Kail.

The first was the final letter to Kail that she had left in her journal in her previous life.

She had sealed it so that only Kail could read it.

Even Rea herself, who had sealed it, couldn’t read it, and the journal was currently in her possession.

‘The last one was… the marriage contract buried in Dragonnia.’

Of course, that had become impossible to find when Dragonnia was devastated by Monster Queen Silatuna’s invasion last year.

Since it could have been powerful evidence that Kail had existed, Rea couldn’t help but feel regretful.

‘If that were discovered, I could prove Kail’s existence.’

“Did you perhaps find the marriage contract between me and Kail?”

“Pfft? Cough! Kehehe! Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Roon, who had been drinking beer when she heard this, began shaking like crazy.

Roon gaped at Rea with her mouth opening and closing.

At that moment.

Rea realized she had said something she shouldn’t have.

Roon’s eyes blazed with fury.

“Marriage? Maaaaarrrrriiiiiage contract?! How far did you go with that bastard!”

Roon threw down her beer glass and lunged forward to grab Rea’s hair.

At that terrifying momentum, Rea’s face turned pale as she said.

“K-Kail suggested it first! Kail did!”

Judging that the dead tell no tales, Rea instinctively answered that way.

“That bastard! Playing with my pure heart! I’m going to kill him! And Rea, you! Today you die and I die!”

Roon, who had lost her mind, began rampaging with a terrifying expression.

Frightened by this, Rea ran away.

When Roon tried to chase after Rea.

At the sudden commotion, Runia and Eiran came running in shock.

“Why, why are you doing this!”

“R-Roon senior! Please calm down!”

“Let go of me!”

As Roon tried to shake off Runia and Eiran who were holding her back and chase after Rea.

Thud-

Someone embraced Roon from behind and pulled her down to sit.

“Calm down.”

Roon hesitated at Leo’s action of suddenly appearing and embracing her.

But that was only for a moment.

In her anger, she tried to bite Leo’s arm.

But Leo was faster.

Crack-!

“Urk?!”

Leo instantly twisted Roon’s neck slightly.

Leo sighed as he looked at Roon who had gone limp, then handed her over to the flustered Runia and Eiran.

“Take her and put her to bed.”

“Roon senior, are you okay?”

“Y-yes.”

Runia and Eiran took Roon away.

Leo clicked his tongue and followed after Rea.

***

Thud-

“Haah… Really. What kind of chaos is this.”

Rea slumped down where she was.

When she came to her senses, she had somehow reached the location where the fight had taken place earlier.

“Wait… But why should I be the one running away?”

When she thought about it, it was unfair.

“Kail was unattached, wasn’t he?”

Of course, the marriage contract itself was something she had tricked Kail into.

‘Still, it has nothing to do with Roon. If she’s upset, she should have acted faster.’

Of course, she couldn’t bring herself to say that.

That would be like pouring oil on a fire.

“Haah.”

Rea let out a deep sigh and looked at the battlefield.

In the distance, cheerful music could be heard from where the party was being held.

It seemed to be dance time.

The party where lively songs echoed.

And not far away, the battlefield where mabeast corpses were scattered.

She was reminded of the time right after overcoming the difficult battle 5000 years ago.

“…It’s hard, Kail.”

Thinking it was words that wouldn’t reach him, Rea murmured softly when.

Step-

When she heard footsteps from behind, Rea’s body trembled with a start.

‘Did she chase after me? Already?’

Thinking Roon had followed her, Rea was about to run away urgently when.

“Nice atmosphere.”

At the unfamiliar voice, Rea startled and turned around.

“Who are you?”

Rea looked with wary eyes at the young boy who had reached right behind her, evading her senses.

But the white-haired young boy didn’t seem to care about Rea’s reaction.

Leo, who had been enjoying the music coming from afar, smiled and extended his hand.

“Shall we dance to one song?”

“So, who are you…”

“Miss swindler lizard?”

“…”

Rea’s eyes widened greatly.

In Rea’s eyes, the color of the young boy’s soul began to become visible.

“Ka…”

Her voice trembled.

“…What?”
