Chapter 31 – Worst Timing
The place Lorraine led me to was none other than her room.
She didn’t expect it to be like this, but her heart pounded as she secretly expected him to go to her room.
‘Hmm, it’s still a pretty ordinary room.’
All there is is a desk, a bookshelf, and a bed.
To put it in a good way, it is tidy, and in a bad way, it is impersonal.
My room, which had a sofa and table, was filled with more things.
Given Lorraine’s practical nature, she probably wouldn’t have deliberately decorated it like Ryuuse.
Of course, the woman’s room is worth just looking at and smelling.
It had a sweet scent similar to but slightly different from Ryuzu.
Let’s admire Lorraine’s room for a while.
“…What did you do to inspire Ryuzu?”
Lorraine crossed her arms and glared at me, she said.
Seeing that he didn’t even invite me to sit down, he seemed really angry.
She wasn’t particularly surprised because she expected it to be an issue with Ryuzu.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Blowing in?”
“The calm and kind kid changed like that as soon as he took your class. “And yet it has nothing to do with it?”
It’s sharp as expected.
No, in times like this, isn’t it natural that you would be the first to doubt me?
Of course, it’s easy to ignore this.
In fact, the fact is that I did nothing.
I have never said anything negative about Lorraine.
In fact, he praised Lorraine almost every day.
‘Well, that would have put even more pressure on Ryuzu and made him jealous.’
In other words, I have never done anything ‘directly’ to Ryuzu.
As for the vulva, the only effect it has is to increase my likeability.
So, I could have been innocent to some extent.
What’s important is how you respond to Lorraine here.
“I don’t know what you mean when you say Ryuzu has changed. “She meant what happened at dinner?”
“Okay. No matter how you look at it, it’s not normal.”
“What?”
Lorraine was momentarily speechless at my naturally virtuous words.
She looked at me for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“You gave me a cold answer, and you suddenly left during dinner.”
“That’s because I put a lot of effort into it, but I heard her older sister nag her, so I might be in a bad mood, and isn’t it because she’s busy studying? “Is that such a problem?”
“That’s right…!”
Lorraine was about to shout for a moment, but then stopped again.
After hearing what I said, she also realized it again.
What happened just now is not something that should be questioned this much.
I chuckled at that reaction.
“I can’t say anything rude between sisters, but that kind of thing happens between brothers.”
“That’s…Normal?”
“Isn’t it rather a sign that we are on good terms just because we don’t yell and fight?”
Lorraine thought about my words for a moment.
She was clearly a genius and her swordsmanship was excellent, but she was an inevitable daughter of a noble family from the countryside.
This means that other than school, there is an overwhelming lack of social experience.
But Lorraine eventually shook her head.
“No. Even if it was normal, Ryuzu wasn’t like that in the first place. “It’s true that she changed suddenly.”
Looking at Lorraine like that, I moistened her lips with my tongue.
Is it because I had a taste of entertainment once?
It made me want to see Lorraine’s shocked expression again.
‘Hmm, what should I do? ‘I’m a little worried about this.’
It’s simple to push it here, but I felt like if I did that, my high favorability rating would go down.
As I was having an internal conflict, the demon Hyunwoo came and whispered to me.
-What are you worried about? Hurry up and push that proud woman out of her mind!
The devil’s whispers are so irritating.
Still, since I heard the devil’s story, I decided to listen to the angel Hyunwoo’s story as well.
-You make me cry by making me cry! Don’t you want to see that cold woman cry?
…It’s strange, where did angel Lee Hyeon-woo go?
Oh right. Leon, that bastard stabbed him to death.
What a gem.
As I think about it, I start to get very upset again.
Coincidentally, there was a punching bag in front of me, so I opened my mouth slightly bitterly.
“It’s not that she changed, but wasn’t that Ryuzu’s true self?”
“…What?”
Lorraine’s eyes widened at my words.
As if I had never thought of something like that in my life.
“I just tolerated it for a while. “Today, I may have let out what I had been holding back for so long.”
“Ryuzu… She originally thought that way?”
It was fun to watch Lorraine change her expression from moment to moment.
Especially because my words are not lies.
Of course, I was the one who lit the fuse.
“Ryuzu just graduated from her academy. It’s a very sensitive time. “At that time, I don’t think she will look good on her sister who even interferes with her fashion.”
“Her interference… I did it all for her…”
“Of course Lorraine did. But from her perspective, Lewzu must have felt bad. To the point where she rebelled against her older sister, whom she admired so much.”
“Oh, no.”
Anxiety flashed across Lorraine’s face.
It was the first anxious expression I saw when I came here.
“What a good girl Ryuzu is. “There’s no way he could have feelings like that for me…”
“Be nice. Isn’t that ultimately an image that Lorraine created arbitrarily? “Ryuzu just put up with it, and she just thought she was a good little sister.”
“Stop… “You’ve only been here for a short time, so what do you know about Ryuzu?”
“There are things that appear because they are not family. Maybe Ryuzu hates her older sister, unlike Miss Lorraine…”
“I told you to stop!”
Lorraine became momentarily excited and roughly grabbed my clothes.
Perhaps thanks to her training in swordsmanship, she was quite strong.
I pretended she was falling and used my magic to pull her up.
Naturally we lay down on the bed with Lorraine plunging over me.
Even in that situation, Lorraine did not stop speaking.
“I am Ryuzu’s older sister! Now that Leon is gone, I am the only one who can protect the territory and my family! So, we are working hard together every day…!”
Lorraine gasped and looked down at me.
For a moment we looked at each other without saying anything.
Soon the rough atmosphere gradually subsided.
Lorraine’s face turned bright red.
It’s not just because I was in bed with a man.
She didn’t know how to express her feelings well, even to her family.
But he must have felt ashamed to reveal his entire inner feelings to me, a stranger.
“…Sorry, this was a mistake.”
I grabbed Lorraine’s wrist as she tried to get up.
“No, I’m sorry too. “I thought it wouldn’t work if I didn’t speak a little harshly.”
“…Let’s talk about this first.”
“When you talk, you have to look people in the eye, right?”
Is it because I was shocked by the story about Ryuzu earlier?
Lorraine obediently made eye contact with me.
Those cheeks were still red.
Even this distance would be embarrassing for a noble lady, especially a cold woman like Lorraine.
“I may not be able to teach for a long time, but I value Ryuzu as her student.”
“…”
“So, please face Ryuzu’s honest feelings. Even if her sister’s view is a little off, she will be patient and wait. “Then she will definitely open her heart to her sister again.”
“…I will appreciate your advice.”
Lorraine stood up, forcing my hand away.
Hmm, a bit disappointing.
I’ve seen her breasts many times while sparring, but this was my first time seeing them up close like this.
“…And I’m sorry. “I suspect you have done something.”
“Are you not doing it anymore?”
“If he had really done something, he would have just pretended to be worried and brushed it off. “I’m not so conscienceless as to be suspicious of people who say things like this.”
Hmm, I’m just saying this because I thought it would be more helpful to her plan.
If Lorraine sees it that way, she is grateful to me.
‘Plus, there was an unexpected additional harvest.’
I chuckled as I looked at the slightly open door.
Lorraine, who was so excited, didn’t seem to notice until the end.
‘Did you end up not seeing it until the end?’
What kind of look will Ryuzu show me tomorrow?
As expected, this family always makes me excited.
****
I need to apologize to my sister.
Ryuzu thought so as she walked down her hallway.
Earlier in the evening, she got a little excited and spoke harshly.
It wasn’t her business to be so harsh, but the thought that she was being irritated for no reason pricked her heart.
‘I get angry at my sister for no reason and look bad in front of her teacher. Ugh! ‘It’s the worst.’
With that in mind, she arrived at Ryuzu’s doorstep in front of her older sister’s room.
Her body suddenly stiffened at the feeling of popularity coming from inside.
My older sister, who was always cold, didn’t like it when anyone came into her room.
‘Uh…What, what is it?’
For a moment, I felt a strong sense of anxiety.
Perhaps it would be better to call it a woman’s intuition.
Ryuzu seemed to be pushed back by her anxiety, so she opened the door just slightly and looked inside.
And she saw it.
The image of her sister lying on her bed with her teacher, as if he were lying on top of her.
‘…Uh?’
I didn’t understand the situation.
Or rather, her head refused to process it.
‘What… ‘What on earth is this?’
This is her sister’s room, where even the maids cannot enter.
A man and a woman lying affectionately on a bed.
The whole situation showed only one conclusion.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I knew that the two of you became close friends while sparring.
But she knows that she is not the kind of person who would ever allow a man to touch her like that.
But the two stayed like that for a long time, as if whispering a secret.
That meant that her older sister thought of her teacher so closely that she even allowed him to touch her.
‘Haha… What is it…’
She usually seems cold and says she is not interested in men, but she pretends to be innocent.
When a guy you like shows up, you quickly snatch him up?
No, that’s fine.
But why is it ‘my teacher’?
“…You cat thief.”
A harsh swear word that would never have been imagined in the past.
But now, when Ryuzu did this to her older sister, she did not feel any remorse.
There was no need for talent, popularity, or shine.
It was okay as long as the teacher was by my side.
But her older sister is trying to take that away from her.
As always, she tries to barge into my life and take it all away.
‘Don’t be a damn thing.’
Ryuzu clicked her thumb nail.
Now it’s worn out and almost gone, and he’s biting at it like he’s hysterical.
It can’t be taken away anymore.
Anything else is fine.
But not just teachers.
I never wanted to pass on the happiness I felt when he stroked her head to my sister.
‘…I will never let it be taken away from me this time.’
Ryuzu walked down the dark hallway, biting her nails.
Those eyes made me wonder how I could beat her older sister and get my hands on her teacher.
I was desperately thinking about only that.
-Crack, crack.
