Chapter 242 – 22. Harem Clan Strengthening
A gymnasium alone.
She swung her sword.
Huung-
A sharp blade made of iron cut through the air and made a heavy sound.
But that’s for a while.
The more the sword cut through the air, the faster it became, creating a fierce punch.
‘Not enough.’
But she wasn’t satisfied.
A stronger, faster sword.
Even before graduating from the warrior training school, his goal was to restore and perfect the family’s swordsmanship that had been practiced. If there is anything else, is it about improving your skills? However, this is the dream of any swordsman, or any martial artist.
But now it’s a little different than then.
I seek to become stronger, but I have a more proper purpose.
‘To be of help to my older brother, I have to become stronger… !’
My brother, that is, something that helps Han Si-woo.
To help the goal of ending the war he told his clan members.
That was the reason Baek Hye-yeon wanted to become stronger.
“…Whoa.”
After practicing for about 30 minutes without a break, she took a break with a short sigh.
Although impatient, she was not yet to the point of overtaxing her body and pushing herself too hard.
But there are signs.
A shade of uneasiness is visible on her pretty face.
It was because of the recent stagnation of skills.
Her current hero rank is C. She awakened her magical powers in the training camp, and upon graduating, her high rank was measured. Even after that, she has been steadily growing, but still lacking somewhere to become a B-class.
“Why are you so incompetent…”
“It’s because you’re in a hurry.”
“Immediately… As expected, ah?”
Hyeyeon turned her head, embarrassed by the voice she heard from behind.
“Brother…”
Han Si-woo was standing there.
“Ruler.”
“…Thank you.”
Baek Hye-yeon took the towel he handed over and wiped away her sweat.
She moves her body so vigorously, and not only did she swing her sword for 30 minutes, but she had been practicing for a long time, so her whole body is sweaty. Thanks to her, she noticed a little bit, but Siwoo didn’t seem to care.
‘It’s okay, right?’
“I’ll sit next to you.”
“Yes?”
Siwoo sits in a chair without even listening to the answer.
I feel like I’m suddenly not feeling well.
“It must smell…”
“Huh?”
“Oh, no.”
She, who was flustered by the self-talk that came out of her mouth without realizing it, soon shut her mouth.
Something felt awkward.
Shiu takes good care of her when she is at the mansion, but she spends little time at the mansion.
It’s normal to go abroad to work for at least 15 days, and even after returning to Palania, it’s common to take care of other women first. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have the personality to greet and talk warmly when she approaches first.
Still, it was nice to be together.
“Do you think your skills aren’t improving?”
“…Yes.”
Hesitating, then answer.
It is clear that Siwoo is strangely good at reading his mind, and that his inner feelings are already revealed.
In this case, she decided that it would be better to consult frankly.
“Hmm.”
Siwoo thought while gently stroking my chin.
She didn’t think her brother would help her with her slump, but she was glad nonetheless. Because he is so serious about solving it. That alone gave Hyeyeon great strength, she thought.
“Good.”
“…?”
“Wake up, Hyeyeon.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Let’s hang out.”
“…Yes?”
Baek Hye-yeon blinked her round eyes and looked at him.
I’m worried that my skills aren’t improving, but let’s go out to play. What does this all of a sudden mean?
However, Siwoo took her hand and dragged her without explanation.
“Aww, now, wait a minute!”
Embarrassed, Hye-yeon forgot the smell of sweat she had been caring about until now, and she was dragged away by him.
It’s not something to shake off if you use mana, but Hyeyeon couldn’t do that. While the thought that she should practice came to her mind, deep inside her heart, she wanted to play with him.
“…”
Eventually, she let go of her body and followed him.
The place where Siwoo arrived with Hyeyeon in that way.
“Oh, brother?”
It was in front of the bathroom.
“Why?”
Siwoo smiling casually and Hyeyeon looking at the bathroom door alternately.
She crumpled and grabbed the bottom of her top with a flushed face.
“Ah, no, but, this is, too, too soon, ah, yes, older brother, it’s okay, but still.”
Siu wasn’t the one who didn’t notice.
Holding her hands as red as her blush, he smiled at her.
“I’m leaving, so wash up.”
“…Ah.”
Baek Hye-yeon, realizing something about her with her short words, opened her door and entered her with a ghostly speed.
“Cute.”
He caught a maid passing by and told her to bring Hyeyeon’s clothes she was washing in the bathroom. At least, she said, approaching her in a bright and lively outfit that she doesn’t wear often.
The maid nodded her head with a firm expression, as if noticing something in her. Then she quickly ran to Hyeyeon’s room. Seeing that, Siwoo couldn’t stop laughing.
‘Because here and in the original world, the love stories of maids are the same.’
Rather than that, he asked her to go out on a date, so he needs to be prepared too.
Siu walked towards his room with light steps.
Baek Hye-yeon muttered while looking in the mirror.
“A date… This is a date, right?”
“Then of course!”
The maid who was drying her hair beside her agreed with her.
It was the maid who brought her clothes to Hye-yeon at Si-woo’s order.
“Ha.”
A very long date.
It’s probably the first time since the two of you went out to eat while vacationing at a resort after a New Year’s party. At that time, we hadn’t done anything other than walking along the lakeside together and eating at a nearby restaurant, but she was very excited.
‘Where shall we go again today?’
It was my first city date, so I was very excited.
Hyeyeon, who was half-nude, was led by the hand of her maid and quickly entered the dressing room.
In less than an hour, she was armed with high-quality makeup and dressing. Very fast and skillful for a maid alone. Even with her own eyes, Hyeyeon admired her face as she looked at herself in the mirror.
“Great…”
“I put a lot of effort into it because it was Hero Hyeyeon’s date!”
“Hehe, maid. How about me?”
“You’re so beautiful! I’m sure Siwoo-nim will like it too.”
The maid laughed and nodded her head.
Skill is also skill, but the original version is good, so the result is as good as this.
“Um, but the clothes are too…”
Hyeyeon awkwardly looks at the skirt of her dress.
She doesn’t wear skirts, let alone dresses, so her one-piece dress that comes up to her knees is awkward. She used to worry about blood, sweat, and dust, so the colors she wore were bright and dazzling. She looks like a stranger in the mirror.
“No! Hero Hyeyeon usually only wears clothes like that, so you have to wear something like this in front of Siwoo!”
“Um, is that so?”
I didn’t understand it well, but it must be because the expert said so.
Soon, Baek Hye-yeon finished her finish perfectly and left her room.
The maid looked at Hyeyeon from behind and cheered her with her fists clenched.
‘Cheer up, Hyeyeon!’
A secret that only some users do not know, not to mention Siwoo Han and most people.
That is cheering for Baek Hye-yeon, Ash, and Gwen.
Baek Hye-yeon and all of them are good-natured women, but there are servants who secretly cheer for them, thinking that it is too much to not touch them for several months. So is she
Han Si-woo, the owner of a busy mansion, often turns his gaze outside. Even within a clan, there is a habit that is not a habit of only touching one’s own party members, or more precisely, the woman one has already touched. How pitiful did the other women look thanks to that.
‘Today will be fine!’
“Hmm, something tickles my ears.”
Siu, who was waiting for Hyeyeon in the lobby, touched her ear.
Just in time, I see Baek Hye-yeon coming down the stairs.
I got up from her sofa and went downstairs to meet her.
“Yeah, it’s pretty. Hyeyeon dressed like this is pretty too.”
“Ah… Thank you, older brother.”
“Thank you for giving me the chance to date a pretty girl.”
‘Date!’
An answer that instantly solves the troubles of washing one’s body in a bathtub.
Her Siwoo asked as she escorted her leaving a few steps behind her.
“Where do you want to go?”
“Me? Hmm, I’ve been thinking about it…”
“Then I’ll guide you on your own.”
“Yes, I like it.”
The two got into the carriage.
Since the mansion is on the outskirts of the capital, it is better to take a carriage to go to other places.
Hyeyeon tensed her legs together and placed her hands in her fists on her lap.
It’s an attitude that would mistake someone for bullying.
He didn’t bother pointing it out. It was best to relieve her tension through conversation.
“I heard from your party members that you don’t go to town often?”
“…? Did I do that? I guess I just didn’t go out because I had nothing to do.”
It was Hyeyeon’s honest inner thoughts.
If you say that, she is like an unemployed person who is always alone in her mansion, but she just doesn’t go out because she has no business. In the first place, she had all the people who could be called her friends in the mansion, and all the facilities were fully equipped in the spacious mansion.
However, Siu, who hadn’t said it with that intention, let out a sigh.
“Ha.”
“…? Uh, did I answer something wrong…”
“It’s not like that. It’s just… I think I’m too focused on work.”
“Um, I don’t know.”
“Originally, I didn’t know this the most.”
“…”
The carriage stopped while Hyeyeon seriously pondered the meaning of his words.
They had arrived at the place that Siu had told the coachman beforehand.
“Let’s get off.”
“Uh, yes.”
When I got off with an escort, the area was overflowing with people.
I wonder if I’ve ever seen so many people lately.
“Brother, is this place…?”
“There are no movie theaters in this world, but there are theaters.”
“Ah…”
I feel like I’m actually dating him.
A date with a man you’ve never done before on Earth.
It’s a pity that a man you have a crush on already has children and a lot of lovers, but by the standards of this world, it’s not that uncommon. Modern people’s sensibility still makes Hyeyeon hesitate, but she didn’t say no to it.
“I’ve never seen a play.”
“Uh, yes. Even on Earth…”
“Really? So this is your first play?”
“…Lol.”
Smile like a joke
I don’t know why the word “First” Excites me so much.
As the two stood in front of the theater, the surroundings soon became noisy.
“Oh, that man…”
“Right, right?”
“I think you’re right, warrior!”
It was because of the people who recognized Siwoo’s face.
Although it has subsided somewhat in other countries, the Kingdom of Palania is still as hot and popular as Siu. An A-class male hero from Palania who has appeared for the first time in decades. And the queen’s lover. In addition, there were many words to modify Siwoo.
“This.”
I thought someone would find out, but I never thought it would be this soon.
He grabbed Hyeyeon’s hand.
“Let’s go inside.”
“Ah yes!”
It was the start of a fun date.
