I followed him with a smile on my face.
“Thank you so much, but I like it the way it is. Do you see that blonde- haired boy over there?”
When I pointed to Luca outside the window, the man’s eyes turned towards him.
“Although he is my cousin, he is no different from my own younger brother. I have an aunt and other family members, so I’m not lonely enough to want to adopt.”
When I honestly told him what I was thinking, he nodded leisurely.
“I see. I understand your opinion. If you change your mind at any time, let me know.”
“And before making such a big decision, be sure to listen to your wife’s opinion.”
“…Keep that in mind.”
After saying those words, the man stood up.
Seeing as if he was about to leave at any moment, I quickly grabbed his sleeve.
“The food hasn’t even arrived yet, so you want to go? We haven’t even talked about your wife at all yet.”
“I came today to talk about adoption. I’ve heard your opinion, so there’s no need to spend any more time on it.”
“Since we’ve already met, can you talk a little more with me?”
It was a pity that I had to break up with my uncle so soon. I also wanted to hear your story with your wife.
The man carelessly stroked my head and answered the same question.
“Don’t worry about paying the bill, just eat and leave with your family.” “Yes? No, there…!”
“Then I’ll write to you again next time.”
Pot-!
The man disappeared in an instant using magic. He was truly a newcomer.
* * *
“Sister, you need to cut down on that nonsense. Do you understand?” “Okay okay.”
I lost consciousness while listening to Luca’s nagging for dozens of
minutes.
I want to do that too, but what can I do if I can’t? If you just ignore it, you’ll think about it at night and you won’t be able to sleep.
“What would have happened if that guy had been a bad person! What if it’s a waste product that you want to do with your sister? What if he’s a human trafficker?”
“You’re not that kind of person.”
“You don’t even know what you’re doing!”
“You said he was a nobleman, so he would probably work on government affairs or territory-related work.”
“sister!”
I felt my ears to see if they were bleeding. It was normal.
“Are you covering your ears because you don’t want to hear nagging?” “I felt my eardrum to see if it had burst.”
…To some extent, it’s true that you don’t want to hear nagging.
“Then why don’t you think about the person you’re worried about?” “Why are you coming now after eating well?”
“If it had been bought by that old man, I wouldn’t have eaten it!” “Sorry.”
I continued to stretch Luca’s cheeks.
Now that I’ve been nagging for dozens of minutes, my answering attitude has become insincere, but I was fully aware of my mistakes.
I also knew that it was a situation that Luca could be worried about.
I, too, would have rolled my eyes if I had told Luca that he was giving dating advice to some woman.
“Okay. From now on, I will change my attitude 360 degrees.” “Is it true?”
Luca crossed his arms tightly and shook his head.
“Ugh. I’m glad I stopped by the mall instead of going straight to the dorm. What would you have done if you hadn’t met your sister?”
“Okay, okay. I feel very reassured because I have Luca.” I yawned and roughly answered what he said.
By the way, has Luca still not noticed?
If it changes 360 degrees, it stays the same. I looked at Luca with a faint expression.
There’s still a long way to go, kid.
Luca, who had been looking at me with an untrustworthy look on his face for a long time, suddenly asked a childish question.
“If you ask me to sell you for a few shu, will you hand me over right away?”
“What are you talking about, Luca? How much I love you “If I had to choose you and Shu, I would choose Shu without hesitation.”
“Shouldn’t you at least pretend to be worried?”
Luca opened his eyes in a triangle shape and glared at me. Oh my. I wasn’t fooled this time.
I chuckled and patted his back. “You know it’s a joke, right?” “I don’t know!”
As I walked along with Luca, we found ourselves right in front of the academy building.
Luca stopped and said goodbye. The reason we came here together in the first place was because he insisted on taking us with him.
“Then I’ll go to the dormitory, sister. I don’t know what they do in the club room, but don’t go in too late.”
“Okay.”
“You’re not just giving a half-hearted answer again, are you?” “Oh my god. How did you know?”
I grinned as I watched his eyes grow brighter. And after looking at the timing, he quickly placed his lips on Luca’s cheek and then pulled away.
“Bye. Next time you see me in the hallway, say hello.”
“There’s no need for this greeting?” Luca rubbed the area where I kissed. It was then.
In an instant, the surrounding mana concentration thickened, and a large wave occurred somewhere.
Guuuuung.
“What is happening?”
My skin tingled because of the thickened mana. Has there been a mana explosion around here?
No. There was no explosion sound yet, so this was clearly an omen.
Luca must have felt the thickening mana as well and opened his mouth with an anxious expression.
“Sister. I have a bad feeling about something. Let’s get away from the building quickly.”
However, despite Luca’s urging, my feet did not fall as if they had been nailed to the ground.
Carsion would be waiting for me in the club room.
If there was a problem inside the academy building, they had to take him out.
“Luca. You run first.”
I pushed Luca’s back, but he stayed in his seat. “My sister!”
“I have someone in the building that I need to get out.”
“Sister, are you crazy? It’s dangerous to go in now. Think carefully. If the person my sister was talking about also felt the wave, he would have been running out by now.”
“What if I couldn’t feel it because I was sleeping or too focused on something else? Besides, he’s a kid who uses teleportation like food, so if he felt this wave, he should have already left the building!”
While saying that, he tried to run inside the building.
But at that moment, Luca hugged me tightly and stopped me from going. “It’s dangerous!”
It was when I was struggling and trying to yell at Luca to let go.
Bang. A loud explosion that seemed to tear our eardrums hit us. Fortunately, the aftermath of the explosion did not reach us.
But I ended up witnessing it.
The explosion occurred exactly in the direction where the club room was located.
As soon as I realized that fact, I was shocked and cried out. “Carsion!”
Smoke from the explosion obscured the view. I pushed Luca away and tried to jump into the smoke.
Luca gritted his teeth and grabbed me like that.
“No sister. The explosion may not have ended, and debris may fall after entering the building!”
“Let go of this.” “Sister!”
I grabbed Luca’s shoulders and contorted my face as if I was sobbing. “Luca, please….”
Shock spread across Luca’s face as he faced me. As a result, the hand
holding me lost strength little by little. “Thank you.”
I was about to run into the building with a bitter smile.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind me. It was a bleak voice without any pitch.
“Did you find me, Lien?”
It was a bit unfamiliar to hear a voice that seemed to be devoid of emotion. But it was clearly Carsion’s voice.
I didn’t even think it was strange and looked back with a smile on my face.
“Kaon! are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
I quickly approached him. Then I felt something strange and stopped walking.
Visualized mana was billowing around his body like smoke. Mana to be visualized, it must be extremely concentrated.
Seeing mana in my eyes means that the mana concentrated in his attention is floating around.
As the power of magic is mana, uncontrolled mana was like a weapon. Because I don’t know what it will transform into.
How did this happen? There’s no way a wizard as good as Carsion wouldn’t be able to save mana.
No way.
Did the explosion earlier come from Carsion?
…Why all of a sudden? What happened while I was gone?
With a confused mind in mind, I looked at Carsion’s expression. He was quiet.
It was so quiet that it felt like the moment something went wrong,
uncontrollable emotions would burst out.
Carsion’s gaze briefly moved to Luca and then back to me. “Kaon. What happened to you?”
“Are you okay.”
He muttered with a face that was not okay at all.
“I’m fine, so please explain. Why did you lie to me?” “…What?”
It was confusing.
What lie did I tell Carsion?
“Okay. I understand that emotions are something that cannot be controlled. No matter who you like, you know I can’t say anything.”
“What are you talking about, Kaon?”
I came to my senses and asked him why, but he seemed to not be able to hear me and continued his story.
“But did you have to lie to me and go see that boy? … I thought we were pretty close.”
Does Carsion think I lied and went to see Luca?
“Kaon. You must be mistaken. I never lied to you. Luca just met me halfway.”
He shook his head slowly. “No, Lien.”
“What on earth is wrong? Kaon. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll calm down first and save my mana….”
“I saw it.”
Carsion looked like he was about to collapse at any moment. What did he see that made him think I lied?
“What did you see?”
When asked what he saw, he spoke with difficulty, as if he could not even put it into words.
“…You, you kiss that bastard’s cheek.” To?
“Did you think I was going to interrupt you two’s date? So you lied?”
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t hear Carsion’s words.
Come to think of it, right after I kissed Luca’s cheek, a huge surge of mana occurred.
So all these explosions were really caused by Carsion? I looked at Luca with a dumbfounded expression.
He looked at me and Carsion alternately with his mouth open, as if he was dumbfounded.
“Sister, this brother now….”
I think there is a huge misunderstanding.
Do you think so too? I think so too, little brother.
We were talking with our eyes, Carsion asked me with blurry eyes. “Sister? Are younger men your style?”
“Ha?”
It was a sight to behold.
When I found out the whole story about why he had misunderstood me, all I could do was laugh.
“Since when have you been dating?”
It was a question not even worth worrying about. I couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted.
“What are you talking about! This is my cousin!”
….
….
A suffocating silence fell for a long time.
After a while, Carsion slowly sat down. He sobbed with his face drained of all his soul.
“I just thought you had a lover….”
“Even if I found a real lover, who would destroy a building for as little as a kiss on the cheek?”
Speaking out, I felt like it was a mistake and a problem I had put aside came to mind.
I looked at the half-collapsed building with trembling eyes. How do you do all that?
His jealousy is extreme 🤣🤣🤣
