Chapter 1070 – 1070. Magic School Shutra (7)
“Are you okay. For me, the current situation is like a wish come true.”
“Radish…”
Ariel could no longer continue her words and had no choice but to lower her head.
She couldn’t even tell exactly what her face was like.
But one thing is certain…
“Me… Don’t say anything else later…”
Haha, of course.”
She said that she did not want to show her face to Seong Su-ho right now.
.
.
Ariel remembers the conversation with Seong Su-ho…
“Hanelone, Milena…”
I was able to understand the feelings of the two people.
“… You guys… Why that kid… “I think I know if you like it.”
Unfortunately, the words that Ariel uttered in her sleep did not remain in her memory.
“Tomorrow too… Word… Together… Suuuuu…”
As Ariel was held in Seongsuho’s arms, she slowly fell into sleep, recalling the memories of riding on her white horse with him.
***
As soon as Ariel saw me, she gave me an apology instead of a greeting.
It’s like taking out the oxygen in the lungs.
“S-sorry! It’s late!?”
I shook my head as I listened to Ariel’s apology.
“No, I didn’t wait that long.”
Ariel actually got angry at my calm appearance.
“I won’t wait! We were supposed to meet in the morning, but now…”
Ariel got angry, and then she looked at me and looked up at the sky carefully.
The time when the sun rises in the sky and shines brightest.
Ariel knotted her words in despair at the sight of the sun rising in the sky.
“It’s already lunched…” .”
As Ariel said, I have been waiting at the meeting place outside the school since morning until now.
A whopping 5 hours!
But I wasn’t particularly angry.
“Like I said, it’s lunchtime. Since this is the case, let’s go downtown and have a meal first.”
“Yeah, yeah…”
“If… “You’re not late because you had lunch, right?”
“Oh, no! Well, I overslept…”
Haha, it’s just a joke. Let’s go.”
“Huh…”
Ariel did not express any dissatisfaction even though she was manipulated by me.
She was just sweating and catching her breath.
After walking a few steps, I looked at Ariel’s condition and asked.
“Let’s take a breather first. Or shall we go by carriage?”
“Well, the carriage…”
If it were a normal Ariel, she would have immediately expressed her intention to refuse.
However, it seemed like the relationship had been established since yesterday, and furthermore, due to being late, it was not easy to express opinions.
‘You listened to me well yesterday… It may be that it is slowly having an effect on temperament.’
Thinking like that, I pushed ahead with a more forceful attitude.
“If you walk downtown like this, you might get tired and not be able to get around properly. Let’s ride.”
“Uh… “Yes, yes.”
So Ariel got into the carriage with me and went to the downtown area.
After Ariel got into the carriage, she started apologizing again.
“I’m really sorry… Because of me…”
Ariel admits her mistakes and apologizes without excuses.
Her apology was so good that everyone should imitate it.
But…
‘If this continues, today will be ruined.’
Ariel’s reflection seemed excessive enough to ruin the day.
“I’m late…”
“Chairman, you don’t have to apologize anymore.”
After stopping Ariel’s apology, I spoke firmly.
“I understand the president’s feelings. But we even rode in a carriage, so it would be a waste to only exchange things like that.”
“Oh sorry… It’s uncomfortable because of me…”
“No. “It’s because the chairman seems uncomfortable.”
“Uh… ?”
I opened the carriage window and smiled at the countless beams of sunlight pouring in from the forest.
“The reason I rode the carriage was because I wanted the president to calm down. But if you just apologize like that… “It’s uncomfortable for the president, and it’s uncomfortable for me, right?”
“… I guess so.”
After hearing what I said, Ariel seemed to realize something and took a breath of the cool air flowing in through her window. She exhaled and relaxed.
After taking a few breaths, Ariel looked at me with her calm expression and said something.
“I’m sorry I’m late. Next time I will never be late.”
Ariel’s eyes were full of power as usual, all the tension in her body was relieved, and she was filled with relaxation.
I looked at Ariel’s relaxed appearance and nodded her head.
“It’s okay if you’re late, so please be careful when you come.”
“Haha… “I actually felt comforted when I apologized.”
Ariel laughed awkwardly, but there was joy in her voice.
To lighten the mood further, I started joking around.
“I can’t believe the Chairman is so distracted… “It’s something you can’t even imagine at school.”
“Tsk…”
Ariel blushes and lowers the corners of her eyes.
I pushed Ariel a little harder.
“Has the Chairman ever been late?”
“Ugh… Two… “It happened twice.”
Ariel answered with her bright red face.
But I looked more surprised at her answer than on her face.
“Really? Uh? Really!? “Why?”
It was as if a large catch was caught on the bait thrown as a joke.
I looked at the fluttering large fish with a grin, and the large fish fluttered as if in chaos at the sight of my eyes.
“Bye, it wasn’t a big deal. Just… It just so happened…”
“I’m curious because it’s nothing special. “Please tell me then.”
“Ugh…”
If it were a normal Ariel, I would have just passed over the fact that she was late, let alone her detailed explanation.
But perhaps because she was late today, Ariel…
“Well, the first time was during the spring semester of my freshman year. My hometown is a hot area, so I caught a cold as soon as I came here…”
He began to tell me his embarrassing anecdotes without hiding anything.
Of course, in the process, my already red face became even redder.
So, I began my date with Ariel, enjoying the scenes of her embarrassing past and the renewal of her blushing intensity.
.
.
Originally, there were two places to visit today.
After breakfast, we planned to ride a horse at the equestrian center, and after lunch, we planned to go to another date spot.
However, due to Ariel’s tardiness, the schedule had to be changed.
After passing the horse riding range, we headed to the second location.
The second place is…
Chaeaeang!
“Big!”
It was a swordsmanship training center that tickled her ears with countless metal friction sounds.
I blocked Ariel’s sword and opened her mouth with a calm expression.
“Let’s rest for a while.”
“Huh, oh, oh… “Yes.”
After hearing me, Ariel took a step behind her, exhaling heavily.
Then she sheathed her rapier.
Slurp. Crash.
“Huh, wow…” Phew…”
Ariel sheathed her sword with a Stoic display despite her heavy breathing and trembling arms and legs.
Looking at Ariel like that, I thought it was a good thing she came here.
‘It was the correct answer this time too.’
The reason she was able to get the answer right this time was, of course…
====================
[Sword Lover], [Bow Lover], [Swordsmanship LV 23], [Archery LV 22]…
====================
It was thanks to the temperament window.
Ariel, like her horseback riding, also enjoyed weapons-related fields.
She didn’t just like it.
Ariel touched her rapier in her scabbard and smiled happily.
“Whoa… She said it was a training center, so she didn’t expect much… “It is as well maintained as the weapons in our family.”
Ariel was looking at her weapon with her loving eyes, as befitted her title of [Her Sword Lover].
Ariel looks like…
‘Medieval version of military fanatic… No, should I say I’m a fan of cold weapons… ?’
It didn’t really matter to her either way.
What’s important now is…
“Suho, thank you so much. “For bringing me to a place like this.”
Ariel’s attitude had completely changed.
At some point, he started calling me by my name…
“Rather, thank you for coming to a place like this, senior.”
I also started calling Ariel by the title “Senior” Instead of “Chairman.”
It wasn’t just her title that changed.
“Whoa… Suho, I knew you were a multi-talented kid, but… Who would have thought there would even be a martial artist…”
As Ariel exchanged swords with me, she became more and more talkative.
Until yesterday morning, Ariel, who didn’t talk to me first and answered in short answers…
“If I were to enroll two years later, or you were to enroll two years ago… It would have been really nice.”
He began to openly reveal his crush on me.
For your information, the time when Ariel began to openly reveal her crush was not when she entered the swordsmanship training center.
As soon as…
“You are the first man to handle a sword so well. To be honest… “I want to take him to my father right now and brag about having a friend like you.”
It started when I got a taste of my swordsmanship.
Ariel seemed to value her swordsmanship skills much more than her horseback riding skills.
Every time we clashed swords with Ariel, a smile filled with joy that went beyond a bright smile flowed like a tidal wave from Ariel’s face.
That’s how much Ariel liked my swordsmanship.
I smiled awkwardly and answered.
“Haha… “Wouldn’t your father scold you for bringing a man with you?”
“Heh… Shouldn’t it be the other way around? My father would have been happy and hugged me as soon as he saw your sword skills. “I’m proud to have brought a man like you.”
Ariel smiled broadly as if imagining the situation.
Ariel seemed happy to even be praised by her father through me.
“And I feel sorry too… I can’t believe I’ve finally met a child like you. 2 years… No, it would have been better if I had known at least a year earlier.”
Ariel seemed genuinely regretful.
However, I responded with a smile to Ariel’s regretful appearance.
“I think I’m fortunate to be able to meet my senior even now?”
“Tsk…”
After hearing what I said, Ariel turned her head as if she was surprised.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
I was worried when I saw Ariel suddenly turn her head and approached her.
Ariel jerked his head away, looking somewhere else, and smiled at me with his tangled hair.
“I moved vigorously for the first time in a long time, and I think I got muscle pain. It’s okay, don’t worry.”
“Okay…”
I almost laughed instead of answering.
Ariel was smiling brightly, but her face was red.
I had seen her red face before, so it didn’t bother me much.
What concerns me now is…
‘Oh… It’s steaming.’
It was steam rising from the top of Ariel’s head.
Since I was sweating a lot and getting fever, it looked like steam was rising like that.
I was relieved to see my surroundings blocked on all sides.
‘If it had been a group room, everyone would have been staring.’
Fortunately, the place we were at was a small sparring hall, so it was just the two of us.
If we were in a group room, everyone would have stopped sparring and just looked at the top of Ariel’s head.
I just watched the scene in amazement and didn’t tell Ariel.
‘… If I tell you, it will ruin the mood.’
After we got closer, we decided to use it as a joke.
I kept joking like that and asked with a worried expression.
“If you have muscle pain… Shall we stop for today?”
“Oh, no! It’s okay now!”
Ariel desperately wrung her hands, showing off that her muscle pain had improved.
However, despite Ariel’s appearance, I did not shake off the worry on her face.
“It’s a big problem if you overdo it when you’re sick. It’s slowly coming back.”
“Oh, no… It’s really okay…”
Ariel somehow seemed like she wanted to be here a little longer.
‘It’s completely different from yesterday.’
A woman who strongly expressed her opinions and calmly assessed the situation.
Ariel, the cool-headed woman I knew, was no longer anywhere.
A woman who puts her tail to my opinions and accepts them.
There was only Ariel in front of her, looking up at me obediently.
‘Well, it’s not over yet.’
The game is not over until you cross the finish line.
So, let’s take care of her heart and come to her senses…
‘Ah! That would be great!’
A brilliant idea occurred to me.
I said to Ariel with a bitter smile.
“Then, let’s take a break and see how things are going?”
“Ah! Yeah, yeah! That would be nice.”
Ariel smiles brightly when told that she doesn’t have to go back.
I threw a bait that Ariel couldn’t ignore.
“Sir, if it’s because of muscle pain… Would you like me to give you a massage?”
