Idong(3)

The Merkava exam is divided into midterm and final exams.

It can be said that there are only two tests taken in a year, but this is to be considerate of the students due to the nature of Guardian Academy, which has frequent practical outside activities.

Test scores have nothing to do with guardian promotion, so the students who devote themselves to studying are usually students of the Faculty of Magic who walk the path other than guardians.

“Is it vacation soon?”

“Before that, I have to prepare for the final.”

“Everyone sees it as usual.”

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Jaeger and Lark are as usual. Yes, it’s kind of like a third-class knight. By the time you graduate, even a second-class knight is worth aiming for, so grades don’t matter.

“Didn’t you get a perfect score on your midterm exam, excluding your practical skills?”

“Ugh… Lu, I remember Lunia-sama… Ugh!”

On the other hand, Lark aspires to the Mage Tower. I tend to focus on the written test rather than the practical test to see my skills as a guardian.

“Are you Corinne?”

“It’s me… I’m similar to Yeager when it comes to exams.”

“Haha! Right? Originally, all exams were meant to be taken with your normal skills!”

“You were so confident in the last test, but you kicked the dog.”

“If you say so, I have nothing else to say.”

I only believed in the memory of the previous episode and took the test, but it was completely ruined. At least, he got a perfect score in the practical test with Lunia Arden and got a halfway upper rank. It must have been 60 out of 400 people.

The practical exam is big. I was wondering who would be the instructor for this practical test, but Arisha, who had her school bag wrapped around her, spoke up.

“Mr. Corinne.”

“Uh. Hey, the coat suits you.”

“Euhehee, right? I bought it with a big heart. It’s winter now.”

Arisha, who was wearing a winter uniform, put a coat over it. A coat and a coat, this is quite cool.

“I’m going to have dessert, would you like to go with me? It’s a new place, so why not go alone?”

“Are you buying it?”

“Can I buy it for you?”

“It’s okay, don’t. The man has a kao. I’ll buy it for you.”

I don’t have a plan, but it’s spacious today, so it would be nice to have a meal in the city after a long time. We also need to check how the inn is being sold.

“Corin, I want to go too.”

At that time, Hwaran of Ran mode expressing participation with a smile.

“It would be nice to go with you.”

Arisha didn’t say anything different, as if she hadn’t thought about it.

“·······.”

“·······.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yeager and Lark, who were chattering about whether it was vacation or the end of the term, gazed at this side with mischievous eyes.

Although they are my friends, sometimes their eyes are too cold.

“Huh… I know it’s not manners.”

“Yeah, these days I’m so full-bodied.”

Two people who do not speak to each other and are in harmony. raise your hand

“We’ll go too.”

“Dutch pay…!”

“No, I’ll buy it for you.”

From Hwaran to Jaeger and Lark. It didn’t end here.

“Korii~ Is class over?”

Celebrities jumping into the classroom. As soon as my class was over, Marie came running to me waving her arms.

Maybe it’s because he’s a senior who often appears in first-year classes these days, so the first-yearrs are responding like “Oh, that senior is here again.”

“Marie-senpai, where are you going to go to the dessert shop in the city from now on?”

“Belgiana? I think it was! I saw the flyer in the morning too.”

“Uh, I’m going there, would you like to come with me?”

“If Corinne wants to go, she has to go! Deokgu likes cakes too!”

From noble mtl dot com

Six to Marie. Well, there’s nothing wrong with being a person.

– Envious bastard.

– Hey, let it go. I’m telling you to put it down…!

– Hold on, bitch. Even if you attack anyway

-A man is…! Sometimes you have to fight even when you know you’re going to lose!

This way… To be precise, the brows of the classmates looking at me are twisted. Keuheum… I know, these.

* * * *

Even if you came out to eat dessert, it’s going to be winter (立冬), so you need to look for winter equipment. This is because those who do not have a separate winter coat or equipment have toil on their way home.

We naturally got along with this shopping as well.

“Brother Corinne, brother Corinne.”

Every time I listen to it, I stop my mouth from opening wide at the sound of my brother’s sweet voice.

“Why?”

“I have a question. Knights and wizards always protect themselves with auras and magical powers, don’t they?”

“yes.”

“But do I really need to wear winter gear? I hardly feel the cold.”

Even Hwaran, who is wearing a Protestant nun’s uniform, is not a very good outfit to expect cold weather performance. Since the side of the nun’s uniform is open for activity, the cold wind must blow in.

“It’s Aura and magic power that block the heat or cold. But even these are consumed. When winter arrives in earnest, the rate of consumption increases rapidly.”

“Ah~ I see. There are many types of coats.”

“Usually, I use a lot of fur from monsters. Cheap and cost-effective ones are from hounds, but I don’t recommend them. They have a strong smell. I recommend this one.”

“Wow~ Oppa knows so many things!”

Hwaran responds with delight to every word you say. It’s a reaction that tastes like an explanation.

“·······.”

Marie stares at such a flower garden with a strange gaze.

There was something strange about his gaze, but Ye or Lac helped out a bit.

“Right, Hwaran. Did you buy that winter fur hat?”

“That’s a new night observation device from the Magic Tower. It would be nice to have it.”

“Ah, yes. Mr. Hinzpeter, Mr. Bergman.”

Is it because of my mood that the reaction to the two of them is strangely cold?

-Yum yum

Arisha focused on the dessert and her eyes lit up. Arisha is probably the one who enjoys a life that suits her age the most.

“This, this chocolate mousse is no joke!”

“Haven’t you eaten in the East?”

“It’s basically country! There’s no dessert shop in my town, so I had to make it in the kitchen!”

How rural is it… I’ve been to the East a few times for quests, but it has nothing to do with the main scenario.

“Corin…! Eat this—”

“Brother, try this. It must have been baked with honey spread on a thin layer of flour!”

“Oh, was it a crepe?”

“Does it look like egg rolls?”

“Come to think of it, that’s how it is.”

I cut the cake Hwaran recommended into bite-sized pieces and ate it. Suddenly, I think about it and look around.

“Marie-senpai, didn’t you say something?”

“······Nothing.”

Then, Marie gnawed at the strawberry cake placed in front of her. At that time, Hwaran smiled and stood up from her seat and stretched out her hand to Marie next to me.

“Sister, can I try that strawberry cake?”

As I bowed down, the scruff of Hwaran’s neck barely brushed my nose. Pleasant lilac scent wafts through the air. It also sprays perfume.

“Uh, uh uh…”

Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.

Kok, Hwaran dipping strawberry cake with a fork. I pick up as much as millet, does this mean anything?

“lol.”

While picking up the strawberry cake, Hwaran made eye contact with me and smiled brightly.

After a while, desserts were piled up beautifully on a three-tiered tray and additionally came in.

“Huh? Who is it, the person who ordered the mincho cake?”

“it’s me.”

“Ah, are you Marie-senpai?”

Marie lifted the mint chocolate cake from the tray. That grassy cake was placed on me naturally.

“Corine, do you like grass?”

“sure.”

Mincho is the truth. It’s a pity that there is a negative influence that says that this good thing tastes like toothpaste.

I went to an ice cream shop with Marie in the past, and it seems that he remembered what he said at the ice cream shop for over 20 years, eating only green grass.

“·······.”

All eyes were focused on Marie’s words, regardless of gender, but she smiled and placed even mincho macarons next to me. You know my taste well.

“Hmm… Corinne oppa, you like mincho.”

“Huh. Hwaran? Do you want to try it? Although there are different likes and dislikes, it suits people very well.”

“That’s fine.”

Then Hwaran looked at me reluctantly. Without touching the fork, he smiled and stared at me.

Are you asking me to feed you this?

Why don’t you just leave it alone, so when you pick up a fork and cut the grassy cake, Hwaran opens her mouth cutely. When the fork was moved naturally, the mincho macarons fit into Hwaran’s mouth.

“······!!”

Hwaran, who had been waiting for my mincho cake with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. The one who put the macaron in her mouth is none other than Marie.

“Because grassy macaron is the same grassy macaroon.”

“·······.”

Hwaran smiles as she savors the mincho macaron in her mouth.

“It’s delicious, Marie ‘sister’.”

“Gruchi? Do you want more? Mad brother?”

“Haha, that’s all right.”

“I don’t like grassy grass.”

“It can’t be.”

Both of them are smiling… but their eyes aren’t smiling.

Ten seconds for a cold smile to follow. I lifted the teapot and filled the empty teacups for the two of them.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Naturally, their eyes turned to me.

“Keuheum, because the cup is empty.”

“Thank you, Corinne.”

“Thank you, brother.”

What else do you need? Yeager and Lark, who were watching me, looked at me with strange eyes, so they gave me a bit of a scolding as well as refreshing the atmosphere.

“This is to fill it up in a sensible way. Don’t you know the manners of a gentleman?”

“······Right.”

“It’s as natural as breathing.”

I grew up in a Confucian life. It was a life of setting spoons and chopsticks in advance, pouring water into a water cup, and turning them around.

Anyway, everyone said they came to the dessert shop together, but conversations diverge when six people gather together.

“Hey, look at my arms.”

Wow, Yeager rolling up his sleeves and showing off his solid muscles. Lark touched the guy’s biceps and admired it.

“You’re working hard.”

“Because I’m a knight. You should do some exercise too.”

“I’m a wizard.”

“Stamina is national power! Don’t you know?”

“And I… I’m not that absent, am I?”

Lark walking on the sleeves of his robe. Yeager is choking on the ridiculous biceps, but Hwaran suddenly grabs my wrist.

“Wow, oppa, your forearms are really strong.”

Slowly, Hwaran’s soft palm brushes against my forearm.

“Heh, thank you for recognizing it. These are the core muscles that can be developed by exercising for 8 hours a day. Huap…!”

When I put strength on my forearm, my full biceps touched Hwaran’s hand.

“Wow! That’s great! It’s as hard and big as a rock!”

Unlike Hwa, Ran is rich in reactions. I have a taste for showing something.

“Kuh… Koganom’s forearms are acceptable.”

“······ Shall I exercise too?”

Two people who admit defeat. Yeager aside, Lark needs a workout. So where can I climb the stairs of the Mage Tower?

“Wow~ The muscles are like a rock with steel planted in it.”

Hwaran gently caresses my forearms and wrists as if in a mysterious way. If I were to arm wrestle right now, I was confident that I would be punished, but to admire it this much is something embarrassing.

“Kuh, keuhum…!”

A coughing sound is heard from the side. It was Marie’s voice.

“Hwa, Hwaran sister? Isn’t that… the girl too shy? Corinne seems to be in trouble too.”

Hwaran, who seems to be surprised by the words. She carefully released the wrist she was playing with and asked with an apologetic expression.

“Really? Oppa, did you feel bad when I touched you?”

“Uh, uh uh? No? It wasn’t like that…”

“I see! I was worried that you might be offended again.”

Hwaran laughs lightly and starts touching my forearm again. For some reason, it seems that the gaze is not looking at me, but at the other side…

“That, you like muscles.”

“yes I like it’.”

Are you talking about muscles?

The back of my head stung.

······

······

······

A third dessert is served and a new black tea is also served, but a heavy atmosphere occupies the table.

Why? Why is the atmosphere so heavy?

“You say you have a potato farm? Do you have potato cakes?”

“Yes. I put it in a mold and bake it in the oven and serve it.”

“Ah~ but isn’t it hard to call it a cake?”

“It’s called a cake! Then it’s a cake!”

“That’s right~”

“profit···!”

At this point, I have no choice but to find out.

Marie and Hwaran. At some point, the two began to engage in an unknown nervous warfare.

“Kuh, keuhmm… I’m going to the bathroom for a second.”

“Oh, me too…!”

“Oh, my stomach hurts too…”

As soon as I quit the start, Yeager and Lark naturally followed.

I also looked at Arisha, but he missed the timing because he was conflicting between the new cake and me.

The hallway of the building that came out like that.

“Ha~ Did you two fight?”

“Your son is the worst in my opinion.”

“I agree. Jebishack.”

why are you like that

* * * *

‘······heavy.’

Arisha was regretting her decision not to follow the men.

The atmosphere that changed at some point while I was busy concentrating on the new cake made me want to say this.

“Hehe~ I see. It would be nice. The house is in the countryside with good air. We don’t do that.”

“Of course. A forest with good water and good mountains is better than the smell of livestock.”

They are clearly smiling and chatting, but their eyes are not smiling.

“I wasn’t angry, but isn’t Ran really cute?”

“Really? My brother often calls me cute.”

“Really? Ahaha~ I’m envious. I’ve only heard that she’s pretty.”

“Hmm~”

‘Nu, someone take me out.’

The cake doesn’t fall off anymore. With trembling hands, she passed the black tea over her neck, but even at this point, Arisha didn’t notice why the two were fighting so fiercely.

“haha······.”

How many times have they stabbed each other? Marie didn’t show the slightest hint as she tipped the teapot over her teacup.

– Awesome…!

“Hehehe…”

Arisha is a tea stem that freezes in front of your eyes in real time. It is as if the waterfall has frozen as it is.

“Oh, sister. If you eat it chilled like that, it won’t taste good.”

“What kind of thing is that?!”

Marie was surprised to see that the tea she was pouring had frozen.

“·······.”

“·······.”

‘Ah…now there’s no cake or black tea.’

Arisha crackled at the empty bowl and broke out in a cold sweat.

Is this the kind of blade that is driven by the tongue? Why did the day stand like this?

“I-I’m also in the bathroom…”

“Arisha, sit down.”

“Arisha, sit down.”

“yes.”

With Arisha back seated between them, Marie and Hwaran stared intently at each other.

“Sister, don’t you like me?”

Ah… you didn’t even take out the real knife.

“Hmm, that can’t be the case. All of Corinne’s motives like ‘things’. Didn’t you misunderstand?”

“That’s a relief. I thought you hated me.”

heavy.

Inside Arisha, the images of Hwaran and Marie are more like harmless small animals.

Hwaran was a blunt and blunt person, and Marie was a second-year senior who was kind to everyone. For example, an arrogant cat and a lively dog.

But now it seemed that the leopard and the wolf were fighting each other.

“Arisha, what is your opinion?”

“Yes? Me? Yes? Also, is it about desertification in the East?”

“no.”

“Why, because I don’t think desertification is going to happen until I die.”

“Arisha.”

“Geez, really! I’ve been to a land that’s really deserting, and it’s not that hot!”

“Arisha, please focus.”

“Yes, yes… don’t fight and get along well with each other…”

“Are we not fighting?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Arisha…!”

“Yes…! Am yo. Yes, um yo!”

They laugh and stab each other with knives, so how can they say they don’t fight?

It means that you put honey on your mouth and there is a serpent in your stomach.

From noble mtl dot com

“Why do I not like Hwaran in the first place? It’s all thanks to Hwaran.”

“······What does it mean?”

“Do you remember at the Hunting Ground? Hwaran drove me. I couldn’t help it because I could only use ‘beginner magic’.”

“·······.”

Hwaran can’t guess what he wants to say. Marie continued her conversation.

“I, at that time, because of that incident, I woke up as a vampire. Thanks to that, Korin came to save me, and the fate continued like this… Yeah!

“·······.”

Hwaran’s expression cracked as he twisted the corners of his mouth.

“Thanks to you, ‘our’ Corinne and I said hello to our parents at home and did everything! Thanks to you!”

“Thank you. Is that the same as permission to marry? Corinne’s ‘brother’ has already received permission from the head of the family.”

“profit···!”

“······Chit.”

shortness of breath comes out of breath, out of breath Why are the two of them doing this? It would be nice if we could get along well with each other.

“Hmph, well, Corinne will go down south with me this winter too. I have a few hot spring inns. Corinne should go too and get some refreshment.”

“Really? I’m going to ask Corin oppa to go to the holy ground of Zeon. If you go there, you can also receive a blessing from the saintess. The saintess’ blessing is better than a musty hot spring, right?”

“Uh, Corinne was supposed to go to my house…”

“”????””

slap! and returning gaze. Marie and Hwaran’s blazing gaze poured out on Arisha.

“Arisha, what do you mean by that?”

“Uh… Koh, Mr. Corinne has business in the east… Didn’t Mr. Corinn tell you that you are going to have a party with me… and watch the Japanese food?”

Arisha wished she had fainted at the gaze of the two who quickly became a dog chasing chickens.
