The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

80. That, that crazy. (3)

A battle with a strong one, even if the result is defeat.

There is a clear growth at the end of that battle.

That was the truth and the truth Rin realized.

The most ideal thing is not to be defeated.

Rin knew. That there are people in the world that you just can’t beat.

Then you lose.

Grow through that defeat.

Train yourself to win higher.

In that case.

Have I moved on from the defeat I just had?

──Have you grown one step further?

“…… Heh, heh.”

Inner voice. It was a chant that sounded like a kind of pressure to become stronger.

Rin, waking from a half-seizure, opened her eyes and pulled her body up.

Unfamiliar ceiling.

A bed that is too soft to be used to, and a sharp scent unique to medicinal herbs that pierces the nose.

And the familiar smell mixed with that herbal smell.

And what disturbed my ears was the man’s voice, which I had heard so often recently that I was familiar with it.

“Are you awake?”

“Kale… ….”

The voice of Cale. Rin, who turned her head to that, was taken aback.

Kale. Because she was lying on the bed next to her own, a mess similar to her own.

“Kale… ….”

I had never seen Cale in such a mess.

No matter what opponent she fought against, Cale never seemed to lose.

I was lying in a hospital bed covered with wounds like that.

“…… Okay. You retired and I joined too. Lost. No…… Did you get robbed?”

Cale’s sparring after Rin passed out.

That’s a very one-sided form. It ended faster than the sparring between Rin and Aion.

Feeling Rin’s gaze, Cale shrugged her shoulders shyly.

Puck or a calm poet of defeat.

My defeat.

Because the memory of that moment was not clear, because reason was cut off at some point…… That fact didn’t come across very well.

Cale’s acknowledgment of defeat was hundreds of times more shocking than that.

Of course, if I had to pick someone stronger than Kayle, there would be a few of them.

I was sure. There is no other swordsman in the world who can give you the assurance that you will not be defeated as much as Cale.

Of course, since the opponent was the opponent, Cale’s defeat was probably natural.

The opponent is the strongest swordsman. Aion, the sword that protects the empire.

‘Stronger than my father…… The only warrior.’

Because he was considered the strongest among sword masters, stronger than the chieftain of Eunwolang.

“It’s been a while since I took out Knox. Whatever it is, what else is there to beat his son so heartily?”

Agogo.

As if his socks were hurting, Cale tapped his back as he said that.

However, no matter what.

The fact that Cale was overwhelmingly defeated. Even so, it was hard to believe.

Involuntarily, Rin clenched her fists.

It’s not simply hard to believe, it’s probably because he’s resentful of not being able to watch Kayle and Aion fight.

“Rin, don’t clench your fist. Aren’t you in good shape?”

In fact, belatedly Rin looked at her fist.

The whole thing was swollen and the skin was slightly peeling off.

“…… It’s okay.”

“Stupid. I didn’t even know you were hurt.”

As Cale said. When I realized that I was hurt, I started to feel the pain.

The bitter pain that comes belatedly from the aftermath of clenched fists.

Like that, Rin, who had a slightly teary face, trembled.

Looking at that. Kale with a smile.

From noble mtl dot com

“…… Foot. Looking at it like this, it feels like I was lying in the health room during my school days.”

“…… ?”

Um.

Perhaps it is the same in that it is a hospital room.

Keil speaks incomprehensible words. Rin must have been watching blankly for a moment, but soon the door opened and someone came in.

“Kale, is she feeling okay?”

Creak.

Keil’s body stiffened at the same time as the voice he heard.

Soon after the door opened, a woman walked in.

A strange woman. However, the reason why her atmosphere feels warm and familiar is because she somehow resembles Cale.

“…… She looks like he hasn’t adjusted his strength. If you’re older, you’ll have to grow up a bit. “

“…… Mother.”

The head of the duchy. The one who calls the King of Swords by that name.

A woman who dares to go beyond that and treats the Sword King as an immature kid.

Mother. At Cale’s words, Rin finally realized the identity of her familiar feeling.

“Oops, come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve seen the customer over there. Nice to meet you. My name is Reinhardt’s hostess, Liana Reinhardt.”

“…… Oh. Yes.”

Liana Reinhardt.

The identity of that woman is Cale’s mother. That she is the Duchess of the Duke of Reinhardt.

I don’t respect anyone who is not strong. It was the same as Rin’s creed.

Even though it was obvious that she was a normal person, Lynn nodded in greeting because of her unknown presence.

The aura I can feel is clearly an ordinary person who has not even done basic physical training.

But for some reason, her presence was superior to most swordsmen.

I couldn’t see it for a moment, buried under Liana’s presence.

Lucia crept in behind her and grabbed Cale’s finger.

“…… Lucia?”

Because it was Lucia who secretly showed off that she was sulking from the morning.

Cale, who was unexpected to have approached and grabbed her finger like this, tilted his head as if in doubt.

“Ke, kale. Save me——”

The Duchess simply cut off that earnest request for help, and laughed.

“Ah. Come to think of it, Kale. We were talking about when the ceremony would be held.”

“…… Yes?”

Pure question. A face full of embarrassment and bewilderment.

Let’s make Cale look like he didn’t understand the sudden flow of conversation.

The Duchess asked, tilting her head as if this was it.

“The person you like…… I heard you were Lucia Mage? Isn’t that why you canceled your engagement?”

“No, that man…… No. Did your father tell you?”

“Yes. And since he brought them home, I thought he must be preparing for the ceremony… ….”

I can’t keep up with the conversation even though I’m listening to it.

An engagement? …… Marriage?

Her head started spinning and it felt like it was about to explode.

With a few barely put together words. Lynn asked.

“…… Kale. Are you getting married?”

After saying that, for some reason, a corner of her heart felt choked.

Marriage.

For adult men and women to mate with each other and to have children.

It was so natural that I knew it since I was young.

Rin didn’t understand why it was so frustrating.

“No. I will not. I will not.”

And why is it that my heart that was frustrated at just those words is relieved again? Could not understand.

The Duchess also tilted her head at Cale’s words.

“No?”

“So, it’s a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding. I don’t know how to say this…… Under. Okay. Well, it’s been a while.”

Tup

Cale, who briefly covered my face with one hand, let out a sigh.

She thought about what to say for a while and then said it as if she had decided.

“…… It was an excuse. Actually that.”

“Is that an excuse?”

“Friction…… Should I say I had a bit of a problem with you, so I used the excuse that I had someone I liked.”

It’s like trying to find a job. Saying that, Cale bit her mouth shut.

And the answer is, she’s back from a completely different place.

“Somehow, I was obviously embarrassed. Was it like that?”

“…… Were you listening?”

The Sword King.

Aion Reinhardt, Cale’s father.

When did you come? He naturally entered the room and said shyly.

“Oops…… This father thought you brought prospective fiancées. I’m sorry.”

“I wish I knew by now… ….”

It seems that he has no interest in Cale.

Aion passed Cale who was saying that and approached Rin, who was lying on the bed next to him.

Then she asked.

“That’s what I mean. …… How is it. Don’t you want to marry my son?”

“…… Get out.”

Question and answer dance.

Raise your legs.

Cale loaded with her mana was kicked by Aion.

“Get out, old man!”

It’s hard to believe he’s a patient. Legs that fly very fast.

But Aion blocked it very easily.

Wow!

I can’t believe it’s the sound of legs and arms clashing.

Cheolongseong.

An iron wall that neither breaks nor collapses.

“…… Oh, I blocked it by using a unique aura in the meantime, ah.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Let’s roll over holding onto my leg.

Lucia quietly approached and cast a pain relief spell.

Healing magic was already at its maximum. Because that was all that magic could do.

And after watching it for a while, Aion belatedly murmured.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Isn’t it already immoral to swing a foot at her father?”

A serious consideration of immorality.

And, in the middle of that pointless consideration. The Duchess, who was watching, said.

“…… I think they both look good. If that’s the case, stop making a fuss and go out and talk.”

A sad voice.

“No, the one who hit me first… ….”

“Aion.”

“… ….”

With one word, the eyes of the Duchess, who had silenced the Sword King, turned to Cale.

“…… Are you out? Mother, that, I’m quite a patient…….”

Smile.

Looking at Cale, the Duchess smiled brightly and moved her mouth.

Get out.

A word of only two syllables.

It didn’t take long for the two men who had never grown up to be kicked out of the hospital room.

Without even a fight, just words.

Rin, who watched Duchess Liana, muttered to herself.

‘…… Strong.’

Even though he is a normal person, even though he is a person who seems to be able to subdue him without difficulty even with such an injured body. For some reason, she had a polite mind that she didn’t know.

It must have been because she was so strong.

* * *

Two men kicked out of the hospital room are walking aimlessly around the mansion.

Soon after, a man in uniform approached and asked.

“Oops. Did you just get kicked out?”

“…… Butler.”

“The butler…… Mister.”

Butler Albert.

The one who devoted himself to Duke Reinhardt for decades.

For a moment, as was customary in the previous episode, I almost called him butler.

I managed to put the uncle behind him and smiled shyly.

In the previous episode, I soon became the head of the household, and that’s why I called him the butler.

Because now I am not the family head.

The head butler.

In fact, after the head of the family and the duchess, she has full authority over the affairs inside the mansion.

“…… Oh right. Mr. Butler. I have a favor to ask of you.”

I don’t know if it’s the butler of another family.

He is the butler of the Reinhardt family.

The story is that if he is an ordinary person, he cannot be.

When I said I had a favor to ask, Albert tilted his head and then nodded.

“…… Ah. Are you talking about the investigation of the mechanism?”

“Uh, how can I… ….”

“I was listening to it while you passed out. He said he came because he had to look into it. We are already investigating, so the results will probably be out tomorrow at the earliest.”

…… This uncle

I’ve always felt it since the last episode, but he’s too competent.

No. Maybe that level is enough to serve as the duke’s butler.

Let me stand embarrassed as I lost my words in an instant.

Albert shrugged.

“First of all, Prince Cale will pass away soon. The Duchess must have come out of the patient room soon. Aren’t you in the physical condition to walk around yet?”

“Let’s rest for a while, this is enough to move, but… ….”

“Go back and rest.”

Ugh.

Reluctantly, he nodded that I knew.

Because it was also true that my physical condition was beyond words.

Well, it was healed in real time because of the healing magic.

It is a self-evident fact that at this level, it is necessary to recuperate for a day without moving.

“My lord. Take this.”

Soon I will leave.

When the mansion became quiet, Albert pulled out a bottle of potion from his chest and handed it to Aion.

A potion with refined recovery magic.

It was an item of the Mage Tower, and also a one-time artifact that was sold at a fairly high price.

Of course, its effect is wound healing.

“Hmm? Cale is already gone, but are you saying to hand it over to me?”

“Don’t pretend to be strong. Dalian, I saw it too.”

“…… Ugh.”

You got hit while watching, didn’t you? To Gongja.

Let’s say that with that meaning in mind. Stunned by his words, Aion shut his mouth.

Then he recalled.

The sparring with Cale that happened just a few hours ago.

Quooo!

The mana that filled the arena begins to dissipate.

The snowfields, plains, and oppressive sky that stretched across the arena disappear.

‘The sword is quite sharp, though. It’s too early to pierce me.’

‘…… There’s no law to look after that lowly man.’

‘Because a castle wall shouldn’t collapse no matter who the opponent is.’

A wall that does not collapse no matter how much you knock on it.

On the contrary, an iron wall that strengthens momentum.

In front of that castle wall, Cale’s body collapses.

The end of the couple.

And not long after that.

The castle wall, which seemed unlikely to collapse, trembled.

It wasn’t to the point of collapsing, though.

His sword was sharp enough to carve a small crack in the castle wall.

From noble mtl dot com

“No, what… …. It’s better if you apply saliva at this level.”

“Didn’t you stop by the hospital room to quietly bring out a bottle of potion?”

Large.

Aion, who was completely aware of his intentions, coughed.

Then Aion took the potion and emptied it neatly.

There is a moment of silence.

Soon, at the end, Aion spoke.

“…… Cale, you’ve grown quite a bit. While I couldn’t see it. The old guy…… You are all grown up.”

“Yes, I see.”

Albert nodded quietly.

Aion quietly brushed his hair and said.

“At first, I thought I might have become a completely different person.”

“…… No wonder you think so.”

Actually.

Because Cale has changed 180 degrees to the point of being suspicious.

Just. As if that wasn’t the end, Aion continued his words.

“I could understand it after sword facing each other today. It seems to have changed a little, and I don’t know what’s inside. That guy…… My son is right.”

“…… Is that so?”

At Albert’s question, Aion nodded and smiled.

“Yes. I just felt that way.”
