Chapter 32 – 04. Do You Know Who I Am?
+++
“Grandma! Why is that… Why did you say accept!!”
After the work was over, Yuina, who was living alone with the family head, expressed her displeasure.
Grandma said that she was a scary person, and it was quite a contrast to the fact that she was dead all the time.
That’s how shocking it was to marry Ryu Si-hwan.
“What are you raising your voice for doing well?”
“Ugh.”
However, that quickly faded in front of the family head’s cold anger.
“It all started because you made such a ridiculous bet in the first place.”
“Yeah, but… I could have won enough!”
“No matter how much a human man is a slave to his lust, there are plenty of alternative means. For example, even if you bring in another woman, you will easily overcome trivial temptations. Because each other’s lives are at stake.”
“….”
“And the flow of mana and the swaying of space… It wasn’t serious. Going to the end of the continent may be an empty word, but teleporting somewhere is not a lie. If so… I would have had to wait for the outcome of the bet.”
“…….”
“Ha. It would have been much better to secretly buy a male slave and hold a night party… You’re making trouble like this….”
“I can’t do such an obscene thing!… There is no… Ah…Yo….”
“… That’s it. Past days. You can go back and prepare a new contract.”
This is a request from Ryu Si-hwan.
I can’t completely trust you guys, so I’ll proceed with the marriage as well.
It was quite annoying, but I nodded my head because I was in the position of being dragged right now.
“I really…Are you doing it?”
“What have you heard so far?”
“… Sorry but… Getting married at this age… And with humans…”
Yuina is now thirty.
For 『Noblesse』, Who lives 5,000 years even if he lives less, being 30 years old was just the level of being just born.
The legal age for marriage is estimated to be around 500 years old, and even that is only considered when marriages between families are arranged, but usually it is only after the age of 1,000 that a person barely finds a spouse.
So I have no choice but to be depressed like this.
Yoo Tae-hee knew that too, so he didn’t criticize him too much for his whining attitude.
“… Think positively. At worst, it could be a human slave.”
“Huh….”
“It is unreasonable to become a human slave to become the granddaughter of the Yoo family, who have managed the ‘human population’ for generations. Not only you, but our whole family could be doused with filth.”
“That… I have nothing to say.”
“Of course it should. And… Surprisingly, it may not be that bad.”
“Yes?”
Yoo Tae-hee showed a slightly girlish expression.
A woman peeked over the solemn head of the family.
“So confident in front of three “Noblesse”… It’s a sight I’ve never seen in any other man. I haven’t lived very long, but even from my grandmother’s generation, such men are rare.”
In the matrilineal society 『Noblesse』, Men are the weak.
This is because women are overwhelmingly born with Norbling.
That’s why women are stronger and their prayers are much stronger. It is for this reason that Yoo Tae-hee is the head of the traditional family, the Yu family, and Ha Yeon-seo is the head of the historic academy.
Perhaps even a [Noblesse] Man would not have been able to maintain such a stiff stance in front of her, even while accepting death directly, and in the case of a lower-level race, it would have been fortunate if he did not tremble .
In reality, El Leonor, the “Elf,” Was just trembling the moment she said she was going to kill herself, but didn’t she say anything?
In that sense, Ryu Si-hwan made a strong impression on her.
“He’s just a cheeky bastard.”
“No. If he was just a criminal who couldn’t grasp the subject, he could be arrogant, but he wouldn’t have been confident in front of my life. There must be something about him.”
“… That’s because Grandma doesn’t know. If you look at his stats, it’s impossible to pass, let alone class A.”
“Then even more so. It’s just that I’ve overcome my stamina with just that level of ability. Everything is not always determined by numbers. The same goes for the top. There are many ways to play an active part, even if it is not a battle.”
“….”
For some reason, because she rated him so highly, her mind became restless.
Such a cheeky person is nothing, so why do they rate it so highly?
‘He’s just a guy parasitizing on dolls…!’
“Anyway, the conversation ends here.”
“No, if… What if that person really is nothing?”
“Then you must make it great.”
“Hey?!”
“If the granddaughter of the Yu family married someone who was nothing, the ridicule would resonate all the way to heaven. Never. That shouldn’t be the case. Do you understand?”
“Yes Yes….”
If it’s not great, make it great.
How can a mere human be made great in this tower?
Yui I was already worried about her future.

Around the time Yoo Ina met Yoo Tae-hee alone, Ryu Si-hwan was also facing Instructor Ha Yeon-seo.
However, the contract was still being maintained, so Eleanor was also with them.
“Do you know that you almost died today?”
“Die? I? I am not dying.”
“Ha… Your shamelessness and arrogance… What should I do? My heart is all pounding. I think I’m going crazy.”
In reality, she was tapping her table, fidgeting and clasping her index finger.
There was even a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of her right hand.
Even so, an unknown grace flowed out, but it was true that she was quite agitated.
Of course, if the head of the Yu family came directly, even Ha Yeon-seo, the head teacher of the academy, would not be able to treat her carelessly.
It’s like that in social position, and it’s severely behind in distribution.
Ha Yeon-seo’s distribution is as good as Yu-ina’s older sister, but Yoo Tae-hee is far above her.
At least the family head of the Ha family would have to come down to be able to stand against them on an equal footing, but there was no way that the head of the family, who was most actively fighting at the forefront, would come down to the first floor, the end.
“Enough with that nonsense, why did you call me? It was too late.”
It is already night outside.
Quite a bit of time was wasted arguing with the householder.
“There is no apology for causing such a commotion. What happened It is unreasonable to expect such things from you.”
“I know.”
“…… What are you?”
“Identity? You know being human.”
“There is no way that an ordinary human could act as recklessly as you. What do you believe in so much? The doll next to you? Is that doll this valuable and capable?”
“Uh. You can’t even imagine.”
“…….”
Where the hell did this human come from?
His gaze, which had been looking at Sihwan all along, turned to Bari.
She, as always, is sitting there with an expressionless expression.
It certainly felt like something extraordinary, but was it really that great?
‘It was interesting, but…… What the hell is it that humans can rely on like this… It’s not simply because of his personality.’
Even she was started by the life of her family head.
She probably would have withdrawn in a sweat if she had been alone.
Because she had other people, she desperately put on a neutral expression.
When she got into a one-on-one fight because of Ryu Si-hwan’s tricks… Deep down, I wanted to throw away the elves and leave.
‘What the hell… That man….’
To think that something like a human would accept it.
No matter how good a doll you have, it cannot be explained with just that.
“After… I see. I will do my best so that this issue can be resolved smoothly from the academy’s point of view, so please… I’m begging you, don’t do it any more.”
“No, why are you talking to me? I was quiet. The family head came in.”
“…….”
He gladd at him with absurdity, but he was still brazen.
“Okay. I can’t ask for anything from you. He is a really annoying person.”
“You talk too much in front of yourself. Annoying.”
“I can say something worse, can you hear me?”
“No.”
“New contract tomorrow… Don’t worry, I’ll attend the wedding too.”
“If you call it a wedding, I feel so sorry for the bride. Let’s just make it a marriage contract.”
“Yes, the marriage contract. Seriously, what the hell is this… Noblesse society will be turned upside down. The marriage of the granddaughter of the Yu family and a human… Even at our academy… Ha… My head hurts just thinking about it.”
Whether it was just a gesture or if it was actually a pain, he pressed his temple with his left hand that had been banging on the table.
“I guess the Yu family is a bit big? At the end of every word, you say Mr. Yoo.”
“… It’s not a big deal, but it’s one of the five major generations.”
“Odaesei? What kind of martial arts It’s very childish.”
“…… Among them, the Yu family has produced many outstanding warriors from generation to generation. Even if she is Yuina’s older sister right now, she has already risen to the rank of ‘Rosa Clava’ at an early age… It is safe to say that they are the best family in the tower in terms of strength.”
“That’s right. But what is Rosa Crava?”
“….”
Ha Yeon-seo really hurt her bones.
“It is a kind of title and means a realm. If you successfully graduate from the academy, you will be given the title of ‘Star Jiye’. Rosa Crava is, much, much higher than that, seven levels higher.”
“Oh oh. So what now? How good is the A class at the academy?”
“It will fall. Not even worth fighting for.”
“It’s too much.”
“How can I actually do that? Even if you become a star after graduating, nothing will change. Either you work hard and grow while stepping on ‘Presia’ or ‘Louis Vuitton’, or you die because you fail in a non-remarkable mission. Usually it’s the latter. For reference, the head of the Yu family is ‘Esperado’. You and even this academy can be wiped out with a single finger.”
“Swimming… Are you high?”
“Sure, it’s two steps higher than ‘Rosa Crava’.”
“That’s right. Well, it was somehow attractive.”
“…… If you talk nonsense like that in front of the head of household, your throat will be cut off. Look out.”
He kindly warned me, but he didn’t even pretend to hear.
“How are you? What about Yuina?”
“I don’t feel the need to tell you.”
“Are you weak?”
Pudeuk.
“… It’s not something I want to hear from you.”
“I can’t speak because I’m weak.”
“Stop the flimsy provocations. How much do you intend to annoy me?”
“Okay okay. Calm down.”
“Whoa….”
Deep sigh.
The wrinkles seem to increase every time I deal with this man.
“I am tired. Just go back today. See you again tomorrow.”
