Resurrected Immortal 51

Chapter 51 – 051. A Change of Heart

“Do you look good these days?”

“Ah…”

Erin put on a troubled look on the face of the girl who was talking to her.
Marva Berman, the schoolgirl she always quarreled with, was one of the people her Erin never wanted to get involved with.
It was a daily routine to always treat her Erin’s existence as a thorn in her eye, disapprove of it, and disparage her Erin.
If I do something that doesn’t feel right or gets on my nerves, like last time, I’ll take her outside and grab her by the hair, shake her by the hair, or spray her face with water.
But if there was one thing that had changed, it was Erin’s attitude.
Previously, she was afraid of Marva and even talking to her, but Erin recently became unafraid of Marva and other female students.
It was possible because she was regaining a sense of psychological stability to some extent through her Eun-hyeon’s sincerity and effort, but to Marva, who enjoyed seeing Erin tremble with fear, this kind of Erin’s growth and change was not very welcome.
Because Erin of the past, who fit her sadistic tendencies, was Marva’s plaything.

“What are those eyes? How could you be so arrogant with that expression?”

Marva twitched her eyebrows and huffed at the sight of Erin revealing her obvious annoyance out of her face.
Could it be because she was caught revealing her thoughts as they were on her face?
Erin shuddered as she flinched and began to make her excuses in her haste.

“No, what kind of expression did I make…”

Her own manner of avoiding her gaze, uttering her needy words, was so ridiculous.
No matter how relaxed she is, and even if she is growing through the hard training she receives from Eun-hyeon, the fear of them is still deeply embedded in Erin’s heart, who has been bullied by Marva and other female students for nearly a year.

“Are you getting some benefit from her smooth appearance? Did you know that you became something just because you were suddenly supported?”

“I don’t even know the subject.”

“A lowly thing.”

The female students behind Marva agreed with Marva’s words, giggling at her and laughing at her Erin.

“Anyway, he’s the younger brother of that warlock.”

“Be careful. He might be learning black magic too.”

“Isn’t that black magician executed by the hands of the leader of Artia Knights after stealing the kingdom’s budget that his father stole?”

“You are completely the father and the son.”

“You inherited your lowly nature as it is.”

“Why is he still attending Aether? They are, in effect, a family of criminals.”

“I know. He wouldn’t be a noble or anything anymore. Why doesn’t the principal expel him?”

“I once asked my father. Duke Armitas defended that child.”

“Oh, from the ducal family? Why?”

“How do I know?”

“I don’t know, because the face is smooth. Didn’t you go and open your legs?”

“Oh my, that’s vulgar.”

“Kick-kick.”

As soon as Marva mentions Erwin’s story, as if she’s been waiting, the students around her in the classroom gossip and talk about this and that.
Among them, there were even vulgar expressions that could not be imagined as being uttered by a noble lady.
She naturally tightened Erin’s hand, which was resting on her book, and began to clench her fist.
The pages of the textbook rolled together between the clenched fists were torn and crumpled.
It was as if her Erin’s heart was being hacked to shreds at her barrage of insults at herself, at her own brother, and casually.
Why did she and her brother have to listen to this?
She knew that Erwin was a person close to a villain who had been learning ‘black magic’ that she was ostracized by the world.
The crime that Elvin committed was that she punished her father, who was violent towards her mother and herself, and looked at her daughter with a lustful gaze.
However, the nobles of the kingdom and their children, the students of Aether, did not know about Elvin.
Even now she wanted to shout that her brother was not like that.
However, since she heard the whole story from Eun-hyeon, she and Erin couldn’t.
Her brother is the mastermind behind the incident in the case of Baron Hersha Jun, and as a villain, he chose to commit suicide with all the stigma covered.
At first, she wondered why she had abandoned herself and died alone, and resented her brother for leaving first, leaving herself in this hellish world.
However, since she heard from Eun-hyeon that they could meet again, she and Erin were able to harden her heart.
Eun-hyeon explained that Elvin entrusted her Erin to him and was looking for other ways to see her Erin again.
Because she didn’t know what conversations and deals were going on between Eunhyeon and Elvin, at first she couldn’t easily believe Eunhyeon’s words for killing Elvin and putting all her stigma on Elvin.
However, Erin decided to trust Eun-hyeon because her brother left a letter with her will and told her to rely on Eun-hyeon when it was difficult.

– If you feel angry and unfair about the false accusations I put on Erwin, remove it with your own strength. That’s the ‘first step’ for you to grow up to the point where you can proudly say ‘it’s okay now’ in front of Alvin, whom you will meet again someday. I’ll make the way

The training is ruthless and relentless, but benign in every way.
To Erin, the existence of Eun-hyeon was more like her older brother than Elvin, and little by little he was established as an important being who healed the wounds in his heart.

‘No. I have to be patient.’

That’s why Erin chose to be patient.
No matter what the students around her say, if she reacts to something and gets angry, she’ll be in more trouble, and her evaluation of Alvin will only be lowered.
Erin was well aware that the reason she gossips, belittles and mocks herself is because she wants to see herself emotionally charged and angry.
Calmly and coolly, I hold back the anger that is about to explode so as not to lose my reason.

“Whoa.”

Erin let out a small sigh and opened her mouth as she looked up at Marva, whose eyebrows twitched as she did not get the reaction she wanted.

“Advice to know the subject. I will engrave it deep in her heart.”

“Tsk…”

Marva, who felt Erin’s cold anger leaking out from her calm expression rather than her anger, was pressed by her Erin’s spirit, flinched and kicked her tongue.
Erin was then lost in her thoughts, not paying attention to her Marva’s reaction.

‘I want to see Hyun.’

Erin, who cleaned up her place as soon as all classes in her school were over, and before anyone could find her, she quickly left school.
Sure enough, when she saw the silver-haired man waiting for her at her school gate, she smiled brightly and ran towards him.

“Hyun-a!”

“Why are you running like that?”

“Hehe, just.”

“Let’s go.”

As soon as she saw her face, she saw Erin who smiled bashfully, and Eun-hyeon also smiled and immediately moved on with her steps.
Suddenly, Erin lunged at her Eunhyun’s back and she hugged his back tightly as she took a deep breath.

“Hmm?”

Eunhyun tilted her head at Erin’s sudden action.

“Haaa…”

Erin, who exhaled her breath deeply, was holding Eun-hyeon’s back tightly with a comfortable and cozy expression after relieving her stress from the whispers of the students earlier.

“Okay…”

“What? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

Erin’s reaction was so bizarre that she gave Eun-hyeon a rare expression of bewilderment.
Her Eun-Hyun tried to force her Erin’s arm around her own waist to release it.

“Ugh! Please stay like this for a little longer.”

“…”

She resisted so hard, and then hugged him so hard that she couldn’t even force it apart.
In the end, it was up to Eunhyeon to pay attention to the gazes around her.
She was normally Erin, who was very concerned about people’s gazes, but the part where she didn’t care about people’s gazes and acted unexpectedly in strange parts was a difficult part for Eunhyeon.
This is because there have been many cases where Eun-hyeon got stuck in this way recently.

“You are like this often these days.”

“Yes…”

“What’s going on?”

“Huh…”

“What is it?”

“It’s just a common thing…”

Although he didn’t explain in detail, Eunhyun could guess what had happened to Erin.
She gave her a small nod, then untied Erin’s arm around her waist and turned her body to stroke Erin’s head.

“Lol.”

Eunhyun’s touch made Erin smile and she was enjoying his touch.
I really felt like I was being healed, and the bad feelings that had been creeping up until just now were disappearing like snow melting.

“Hey! Wait. Commons!”

“Eww…”

The moment she let go of her hand that had been stroking her hair and was about to move her steps, a male student’s urgent voice stopped Eunhyeon and Erin in their tracks.
Perhaps predicting a familiar voice and the situation that would happen in the future, Erin frowned as if she was strangely in a bad mood.

“Hmm?”

Eun-hyeon turned her head and moved her gaze toward the male student who was calling out to them.
She gasped at how hastily she ran, and the boy who was glaring at Erin shouted at Erin.

“I would have told you to wait? Are you ignoring Orp-sama’s words?”

“Hey, I obviously had something important to say, so I refused…”

“Shut up! I told you you don’t have a choice! Stop talking and follow me!”

Eun-hyun stepped into the middle of the male student’s arm who was about to stride and grab Erin’s wrist, stopping him.

“What happened?”

“What are you again?”

“I am the ‘older brother’ of this child. May I ask what your business is?”

“Let go of this hand!”

The male student roughly shook Eun-hyeon’s hand that was holding his arm, and quickly responded to Eun-hyeon’s question with an arrogant attitude.

“Villad Orba, the eldest son of Count Orba, likes your younger brother quite a bit. Get out of the way, as this is your chance to give your brother the honor of dining with you.”

“If that’s the case, I refuse.”

“What?”

“It appears that my brother declined the invitation. Am I wrong?”

Glancing at Erin’s expression, Erin immediately answered Eunhyun’s words.

“I said no!”

“I say so.”

“These are cheeky pairs…”

The moment she frowned and glared at Eun-hyeon who was disturbing her.

“It’s a spectacle.”

“What? Who dare… Omg!”

Hearing the woman’s voice accusing her, the boy distorted her face and turned her head to identify the owner of her voice. As soon as she identified the woman’s face, she held her breath. .

“I don’t see any consideration or respect in the way you invite people. Did Billard force you to bring him?”

“That, that…”

At the words of the woman glaring at herself with her fierce eyes, her male student’s shoulders shrank.
I slowly changed my gait and walked towards Eun-hyeon and her male student, and all the students who were on their way home from school in front of the gate were all glancing at Eun-hyeon.

“Hello.”

“What, what?!”

When Eira Olivion, a girl with bright blonde hair, greeted her Eun-hyeon politely, her male student looked at her in surprise.

‘Hu, the noble lady of the marquess greeted a commoner man like that… ?’

In a completely unexpected situation, the male student started to get nervous while breaking out in a cold sweat.

“What is your name?”

“Yes?”

“Name.”

“That’s Grass Broad.”

“You are from the Viscount Broad. Okay. Go.”

“Ha, but…”

“Tell Orpah my name. Wouldn’t that at least be an excuse?”

“Ah, I see…”

Gorene couldn’t help but nod and hurriedly left her seat.

“I felt like I was facing an annoying situation, so I intervened on my own. Did you step out for nothing?”

“No, thank you for removing the annoying thing.”

‘Wow, that’s cool…’

Eira, who had been showing off her charisma with sharp eyes until just now, smiled at Eun-hyeon and showed a sudden change of attitude, and Erin looked at her with a shocked look.
As if she had changed her mask, Erin, noticing her introverts that only women can recognize, stared at Eira with a dumbfounded expression.
