engagement ceremony (2)

After the errands in Pindias were over, Corin and the others returned to Aden.

Corinne was recovering quickly with her regenerative powers, but Arisha and Lunia needed time to recover from their injuries.

“It’s new, but you can’t peel an apple.”

“Umm… I’ll practice.”

It’s the third day since I returned to my hometown. Arisha was taking care of Luna’s sickness.

Originally, there was a separate caregiver, but Arisha said she would do it herself.

“Sister… how is your body?”

“It’s worth it. It’s thanks to the elixir. Where the hell did you get such a precious thing? There aren’t many in the family.”

“Hmm… I guess it’s better not to know.”

Let’s not say that it was purified from the blood of a senior with blue hair in the sarangchae.

Arisha knew the identity of the elixir because she had many opportunities to sample something made from her blood.

“Anyway, your skills have improved a lot.”

“Is that so? Hehe…”

It feels good to receive a compliment. Also to my sister.

“I was immature in many ways during the festival, but now I think I’m getting the basics right. Be more diligent.”

“Thank you… Huh? A festival?”

“·······.”

“Sister, you came to the festival…”

“The apples are salty.”

“yes?”

“Cut it again.”

“Yes, yes… By the way, sister. I came to the festival…”

“What do you do without mowing quickly.”

Runia keeps turning around as if she has no intention of answering. Looking at the strong words and slightly reddened ears, Arisha smiled with a comfortable smile.

“That… older sister. Thank you.”

“·······.”

“The one who saved it. The one who blocked it instead…”

Arisha carefully expressed her gratitude to her sister, whom she hadn’t been able to talk to before.

“I said something useless.”

However, Runia’s reaction was cold. As always, I was about to cower at her cold attitude…

“Your sister is saving your little brother, what reason do you need?”

“yes?”

“What is your last name?”

“Oh, Aden.”

“So, what’s my last name?”

“Aden…”

“What’s your relationship with me?”

“······sisters?”

“I’m telling you the right truth, but don’t shrink. Keep your back straight and your shoulders straight. I’m telling you the obvious, but why can’t I be confident?”

“but······.”

Arisha has always been a sinner.

evidence of infidelity. The family’s nemesis. An illegitimate son who threatens the wife’s children.

With what qualifications would she speak of her younger sister? The day when Lunia, who had taken care of her heart, was designated as a candidate for the head of the family by Garland after cutting a person for the first time. everything has changed

“I am your older sister, and you are my younger sister. Whatever happens doesn’t change that fact.”

“ah······.”

“No, it won’t stop. The bond between you and Lunia Arden will not be broken even if you die.”

Runia’s words reminded me of what I heard from Corin the other day.

Even if they’re not real sisters, even if they’re competing to steal each other’s things, this bond won’t break. It doesn’t change that I’m my sister’s younger sister.

“Sister… are you okay? I might take yours.”

“Whoope… whoohahaha…!”

Runia laughs heartily at Arisha’s words. It was a rare sight for her who was always sober.

“Uh, sister?”

“Looks like you’ve gone as far as the idea of stealing it. It’s a huge step forward.”

At those words, Arisha realizes. Arisha was always insecure. Even though he was designated as the next head of the family like Runia, he did not think he would dare to become the head of the head.

Because Lunia’s flesh and blood was like a heavenly being in a far-high place.

Because everyone said so and I thought so too.

“Of course, I have no intention of being taken away quietly. But, what if I was taken away?

Her expression is bold and does not hide her fighting spirit, befitting her reputation as a heroine. Arisha was embarrassed but happy to see such a face in her sister.

I thought that I had grown up, that my older sister looked at me as an equal…

“But I have no intention of losing to things that are not ripe. He seems to like mature women.”

“Huh? He?”

What are you talking about? It was a confusing feeling, but I soon realized it and the heat started to bloom on my cheeks.

“Oh, isn’t it? Isn’t it like that?”

“Well, try your best. By the way, the engagement ceremony is in a week.”

“No! Not really!”

The younger sister’s infidelity, the older sister chewed on slowly.

* * * *

It was in the middle of a meal with Marie and Hwaran, being treated by the Aden family.

“That’s right. I’m engaged.”

While eating, I suddenly felt the need to say something, so I brought it up.

“Bar, what did you just say? Corinne.”

“betrothal···?”

The two of them drop the potatoes they were eating and chew the fish bones as they are.

“Because I’m supposed to be engaged to Mr. Lunia. One week left, maybe.”

“Hey, wait a minute. Corinne? Corinne? With Lunia-san?”

“Are you talking about the person who is getting engaged to your brother… Arisha-san’s older sister?”

“Uh. Everyone is busy, so I’m not familiar with you, right? Let’s say hello.”

Dreuk! Jangjimun that opens. A beautiful woman in a uniform walked through the door.

“It’s Lunia Arden.”

“·······.”

“······”.

The two stare at Lunia with blank eyes. They all look… bewildered. Um, Ms. Lunia is kind of cool.

Despite being injured, Runia came in with a very upright posture and sat down next to me.

“We are in sync with him.”

“He, he…”

“·······.”

Runia looked at the two of them intently and pulled me in with a smile.

“······ah.”

Marie stared at me, distraught. As if eagerly seeking an explanation.

“Uh, why is that…”

“I’m going to have an engagement ceremony with my fiancée in a week. If the eldest daughter of the Dunarev family and the nun of the Cathedral of Zion serve as bridesmaids, Aden will welcome you to attend.”

“············.”

“············.”

A heavy silence ensues. What is this atmosphere?

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel like I have to stand up and say I did something wrong. But if that happens again, something bigger will happen…

“Uh, since when…”

“That’s it again.”

I unraveled the rumors I had agreed with Lunia in advance.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nominally, it is known that we are in the midst of a fateful first meeting and burning love.

Of course, I should tell Marie and Hwaran about this. Are you surprised? Looking forward to the expression of the two people who are dumbfounded.

Hehe, isn’t this also a kind of hidden camera?

“That’s when I fell in love with Mr. Runia.”

“Despite his young age, seeing his upright attitude, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him.”

As if she had read my intentions, Mr. Runia also responded. I didn’t see it that way, but she’s a surprisingly playful girl!

“·······.”

Marie and Hwaran gradually harden. ah, i’m afraid my acting skills. If this is on Earth, wouldn’t it be the talent of a hidden camera YouTuber?

“That’s how we met each other on the day of the full moon—”

“I want to go.”

Then, Marie jumped up. It was not like her who always maintained a polite and easygoing attitude.

“Uh, senpai? Where are you going?”

“·······.”

The glare he saw was cold. For a moment, he was taken aback by Marie’s cold gaze when he saw him for the first time.

“… one hundred years.”

She made an incomprehensible noise and crossed the long paper.

“what?”

What was the problem in the context of the conversation we just had? Play around for another 5 minutes and voila! It was Corinne Locke’s hidden camera! It was like this, but the performer left the set.

I don’t know what it is, but I need to clear up the misunderstanding. That this is all a camouflage to help Runia and a contract engagement——

From noble mtl dot com

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“La, Lana?”

Alas.

Ran looked like she was about to cry at any moment, but forced herself to congratulate her.

“Chu, congratulations… my brother… that… congratulations… why… happiness… huh…”

The words are not connected, and in the end, the sentence is not completed and distorted terribly.

“Why… why…”

Eventually, when I saw Ran shed tears, I realized that something was seriously wrong.

I didn’t care Ran is a girl who said she liked me and asked me to marry her from the bottom of my heart.

I thought it was like a once-in-a-time first love because of the young impression, but it was too inconsiderate to announce the engagement right in front of my eyes!!

no! This is a hidden camera, a hidden camera! No, I was wrong!

“Lana, this is all a lie—”

slap! column disappearing. There was no bird to chase because of Bicheon Yacha’s physical ability.

“──I mean… it’s not real…”

“You’re a sinful man, my fiancée too.”

“Ah… how do I fix this?”

“Okay.”

Runia just smiled mischievously.

* * * *

In the end, Marie and Hwaran were not found until night fell.

I was thinking of clearing up this misunderstanding as soon as we met, but the problem is that I don’t even know where the two of them are.

“Haa… I have to hit the head right away.”

I’m not going to stay out all night, I’ll meet tomorrow when we eat, and we’ll clear up misunderstandings.

That’s it, and first of all… Most of them display the information in my status window that I don’t have permission to read.

『Goddess of the Sun Corinne Locke Argetlam.』

– Acquire the light of the sun Agatram.

– Protects you while the sun rises.

Solar Clausolas. In the previous episode, it was the weapon used by the King’s servant, Ohad Breath.

beauty King Ohad Breath,

I had a tough relationship with him in the previous episode.

The Clau Solas he used was the grand finale of .

sun house. solar realization. solar compression. Oh Hard Breath Raid pattern in three stages. The mighty power of the sun is the strongest ever.

A power confrontation would not be established unless it was Park Si-hoo, who monopolized all kinds of talent and far surpassed the players in the original game.

However, Claus Solas also had a fatal weakness, which was that it was too powerful.

As seen in the sky island, even in the concentrating stage, it consumed a lot of mana.

Is it an item for raid bosses? It would be difficult to use unless you connect it to a specific spirit vein and receive near-infinite magical power.

‘Well, good. Because Claus Solas has not only its own power, but also the power of divine protection.’

【Blessing of the Sun】

– As long as it is exposed to sunlight, no heat or fire can harm Argetlam.

– Accumulates the power of the sun in proportion to the amount of horsepower. (Current horsepower: medium to low 7,320)

The core of the protection of the sun is the ability to completely resist heat and fire.

As long as you have Claus Solas, it’s safe to say that fire attribute systems don’t work at all, and you won’t get hot.

Considering the heat emitted by Claus Solas, it was a natural protection.

The important thing is to accumulate the power of the sun.

In the previous episodes, I fully realized what this power accumulated by absorbing inexhaustible mana could do.

‘Compared to the previous round, Baltazar’s subordinates have drastically decreased.’

The king’s servant, Permak, dealt with the iron mountain king incident, and although it was accidental, killing the sword demon here was an unintended best result.

Lastly, originally this power belonged to Ohad Breath, the king’s servant. The difficulty of attacking Ohad Breath without the sun would drop significantly.

On the other hand, unlike before, when I was helpless without players, I now have reliable colleagues.

Much sooner than expected, no… Arisha, who became stronger than the original, Marie, who was supposed to disappear from history… and Baltazar’s sword demon-class extra boss character–

-smart!

“Who are you?”

“It’s me, brother.”

Bicheon Yacha Hwaran.

Because she supported me too.

I’ll have to clear up the misunderstanding first.

-Dreuk!

The paper door opens and Ran enters my room, dressed in Aden-style pajamas.

She usually wore only a black nun’s uniform, and it suited Hwaran as well, but as the mood shifted to Ran, this traditional white nightgown also suited her well.

“Okay, what’s the matter?”

“·······.”

The blue-eyed girl didn’t answer my words, came lightly into the room and lay down on my bed.

“I’ll sleep here.”

“······Are you angry?”

As in the past, Ran does a bold act of blowing away the male and female 7-year-old children.

“······okay.”

Misunderstandings need to be resolved and the two of them need to be comforted, so let’s talk for a while.

“Lana, what my brother said…”

“I don’t want to talk to my brother.”

“uh······.”

I was instantly taken aback by Ran’s cold tone.

Well… it’s worth it. Saying she likes me, bragging about being her fiancée in front of the kid who asked me to marry her…

“Okay, let’s lie down and talk.”

It’s cold that winter hasn’t gone yet. I covered Ran with a thick cotton blanket and lay down on the bed.

“·······.”

“·······.”

We had a moment of silence on the bed.

Staring at each other enough to catch the movement of each other’s lips in a dark room where the moonlight is the only light.

Ran was the first to break the silence. Ran gently stroked my hair with her slender fingers and let out a heavy sigh.

“You’ve been hurt a lot. Are you okay?”

“Hey, you know. Look, you’ve got the same new skin as before, right?”

“······It’s different. It’s completely different.”

With a sad-looking smile, Ran lightly brushes my bangs.

“I told you not to get hurt.”

“Huh? Yeah, that’s right.”

“If my brother gets hurt, I’m hurt too. You’ll wait until I come…”

“I didn’t have time. I’m sorry.”

“It’s our fault that we were late. If only it wasn’t for that fantasy…”

“A fantasy? Ah~ what kind of fantasy did you see?”

“My dream is that my brother is marrying someone else.”

– Cool!

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No, no matter what kind of fantasy it is, it’s like that…

“In the fantasy, my brother looked happy. As if I had no corner to intervene…”

“that······.”

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No matter what it is, Hwaran is a raging adolescent girl.

The experience in the illusion couldn’t have been so pleasant. The phantasmagoria of seeing the person you love marry someone else must have spurred on your fake engagement.

“brother.”

“huh?”

Ran narrowed the distance between me and me on the bed and pressed them close together. Then, he wraps his hands around my neck and raises the corners of his mouth while intertwined.

“Do you know what I was thinking as I went through that vision?”

“Uh, what were you thinking…?”

Ran, who gave strength to the fingers he was holding, tightly adhered to me. They brush cheek to cheek and whisper in my ear.

“My brother is unconditionally mine. I have no intention of giving it to anyone else.”

It was said kindly, but it was like a declaration of war. No matter who I date, I have no intention of giving up.

“Uh… that, is that so?”

Ran giggles while exuding the desired sexiness. Contrary to Hwa’s blunt demeanor, Ran… really has a knack for making men rattle.

“So brother.”

Ran loosened her hands around my neck and stretched out her palms wide. It was only for a moment, but Ran had a blush that seemed to be embarrassing.

“Can you hold my hand…?”

“That, that’s about it.”

Hold out your palm to the open palm. Even though I was twice as tall, Ran’s strength still far outweighs mine as she holds the pods in my palm.

“My brother gave permission.”

“huh?”

Ran jumped up and rode on me as if to attack me. Hey, why is he like this?

“I’m going to sleep holding your hands tight like this.”

“Uh… is that so?”

Won’t you get sweaty?

“It’s too late. It’s too late to resist…”

“???”

“It’s all your brother’s fault.”

“Mii-ian?”

Ran held her hand tightly and buried her face in my chest. I couldn’t see it because my face was buried deep, but even the exposed ears were dyed red, so Ran seemed ashamed of this situation.

Well, if it’s calm like Hwa, it’s okay, but Ran, a woman from a well-to-do family, should be ashamed just for a man and a woman sleeping in the same bed.

“It’s all because your brother did something wrong.”

“Yes, yes, I was wrong. Do as you please.”

Ran’s eyelids drooping. It was something like a warrior who was determined to die, so I couldn’t say more than that.

I don’t know what it means to sleep holding hands.
