42. Awareness

Shira smiled brightly as she ate the ice cream that Ian had bought.

“Um- it’s delicious.”

She giggled and swung her legs back and forth. The leg that moved under the round table tapped Ian’s leg that was sitting opposite him.

Ian would have been annoyed if he had simply tapped him, but every time he touched his leg, the clever Shira swept his toes down as if he were sweeping his leg.

Ian frowned as he felt her toes playing with my feet-.

“… … what are you doing?”

“yes? what?”

Ian, who was looking at Shira, who pretended not to know, started to ignore her, thinking that her purpose would be to play a prank again and see her reaction.

As if she didn’t like it, she swallowed the ice cream in one bite and immediately left her seat and pointed to another dessert.

“I want to eat that this time.”

“Are you going to buy it?”

“Are you going to be petty when you become a man?”

“… … Only this time.”

Again, this time, Ian got up from his seat and headed for the store. It was unthinkable for Ian to wear school uniforms, saying he had no money to buy clothes, and to only eat school lunches because he had no money to eat.

‘Since I visited the Duke of Iritsu.’

His spending of money improved. What happened, the betrayal of mankind? Shira didn’t think so.

Her hometown seemed suspicious of that, but… … Isn’t that a charge that can be solved just by sending a messenger to the Iritsu home and confirming that the duke is in good health?

What was important was why, how, and how his spending grew.

‘Is the two of you even engaged?’

That was most likely.

The Duke of Iritz was a person who valued ability above all else.

What if Ian had used some method to defeat the demons that invaded the Duchy and the Duke had confirmed him?

Due to the nature of the duke who is greedy for talent, there is a high possibility that he tried to put Ian under his control.

How to seduce a 3-star Summoner who is strong enough to defeat advanced demons? The easiest was still the beauty world.

At the same time, the Duke had Stella, who was well-known for being a beautiful woman, and Stella also had a crush on Ian.

‘It’s just speculation… … .’

Shira thought it wasn’t like that and looked at Ian. With a stupid expression on his face, he walked away with dessert.

He looks so simple and stupid, often showing a figure that goes beyond her imagination.

That gap, the difference is so unbearably good that I feel like I’m falling for him.

‘Why this year?’

Seeing Shiira sticking to her persistently, incomprehensible questions arose.

Why are you sticking like this?

The previous Shira showed interest in me, but it was a level of interest that could not be called a liking.

It was just the eyes of a little special and unusual child.

Now is?

He was constantly scanning my body as if he was going to find out everything about me, tapping my psychological locks, trying to find out the secrets about me.

‘Why are you doing this all of a sudden?’

Others would have thought she was doing this for her. No face, no ability, there’s nothing I can’t fall in love with.

But I didn’t believe her. I couldn’t believe it exactly. Because she was a woman who had enough room to play with me whenever she was joking.

“Oh, Ian. Shall we ride it this time?”

“… … No, I want to go back now.”

“Why already?”

“I don’t really like going out.”

Maybe it was because he was weak, or was it because he was with Shira, who was too young to go crazy.

It felt like the period was moving faster. You must have been at least ten years younger than me, but did young children originally like to run around like this?

‘I’m mentally tired… … .’

There was no way this body, with its broken abs and physical strength, would have been so tired of marching like this, if there was a problem, it was the mind.

As if I was a Moorim who had been subjected to the Great Law of Absorption, my energy was sucked into her, and I had no time to fight it.

“Then let’s stay until the night!”

“… … Why again?”

“I told you there were fireworks at night.”

“Fireworks… … .”

I was looking forward to what kind of magic he would show this time.

In a different world, they would use firecrackers using magic and pets instead of gunpowder, but I wondered how big they would shine.

“Then, will you go back after seeing that?”

“uh!”

After hearing my words, Shira smiled wide and led me to another attraction.

Looking at her with a tired expression, she tilted her head backwards at me, as if asking why.

“what’s the matter? You were supposed to stay until the night, didn’t you?”

“No, it was, but… … .”

“Then you were just trying to pass the time in vain until the night?”

“help me.”

In the end, I couldn’t rest until I followed her and enjoyed all the attractions in the water park.

evening time.

As the sun goes down, darkness falls and magic lights up the city, Shira somehow managed to get a place on the terrace of a famous restaurant.

Shira, who sat by the window and ordered a course meal, looked outside with her chin crossed and spent her time looking forward to when the firecrackers would explode.

However, it was still quite early for the fireworks to explode, so Shira, who lacked patience, quickly lost interest and began to summon her summoned beasts and put them on the palm of her hand, loving them here and there.

“Ian! look! Our blue, these wings have thickened.”

“… … Is it thick?”

“It’s thick! Do you want to see this?”

She bent her upper body and extended her hand on which the blue bird was placed. Naturally, her breastbone was exposed, and it naturally caught my eye.

The really bad part was that the blue bird she had in her hand and her chest were in a straight line, so she had to look away from her chest to avoid it.

If I turn my eyes, I’m sure they’ll make fun of me for why I’m turning, but if I keep looking at it, I’m sure I’ll make fun of where I’m looking.

As I stared blankly into the air, I was stunned, and my vision was filled with flesh-colored backgrounds.

When I woke up and looked ahead, Shira was looking at me with a smile on her face.

f*ck.

“What were you thinking?”

“… … nothing.”

“Ah, a lie. Is this-?”

Saying so, she tugged on my bikini strap and started bouncing around. The melody played by the taut bikini string fills the dining room.

It was fortunate that there were no other people’s gazes, so if someone had been watching this, it would have been so sensational that it would have stopped her straight away.

I sighed heavily and looked over the terrace as she had done before.

Light was twinkling both on the ground and in the sky. It was truly a dazzling sight.

Some scientists on Earth have said that the reason why you can’t see the starlight beyond the sky is that there is too much light on the ground.

Now that I came back, I could easily see that it was a complete lie.

Whether there is light on the earth or not, the stars shine.

It travels millions of light-years to reach Earth and appeals to its existence. The story of sailing through the sea of stars is always something to admire.

“Ian.”

And Shira’s tone of voice changes. I sensed her tone of voice suddenly became serious, and I adjusted my posture and looked at her.

Cold amethyst eyes pierce me.

“What will you do if humanity is in danger?”

“suddenly?”

However, when she heard the topic she brought up, the steam was gone, and the tension went away.

I thought it was something to be talked about seriously.

Human beings, this is a stupid question.

The answer was fixed.

“Why am I worrying about that?”

“… … What?”

“If something like me is a problem that can be solved by thinking about it, there is no way I will be in a crisis in the first place.”

One superman, one Ubermensh, will come out and save mankind?

It’s like something out of a fairy tale or a philosophical book.

The reality was not so gratifying.

“—Oh, that’s right. You asked the question wrong. So, what if humanity is in crisis, and only you can save it?”

“What kind of personality test is that? What’s popular among kids these days?”

“Are you kids these days too?”

“… … Yes, though.”

I pretended to think for a moment and let out a sigh. She must have intended to ask me such a question, how should I answer it?

It wasn’t long before the answer to that question came.

Humanity is in danger and only I can save him.

Because this premise was very similar to my situation.

The answer is.

“Don’t fall into a crisis right from the start.”

“okay?”

“So, what is this? A personality test?”

“yes. similar The answer you answered is how to fix it when you are caught cheating. I’m glad. Ian, I don’t think you’re the type of person I would like to have an affair with.”

Or it might not catch the wind at all, and Shira began to laugh at herself.

And then.

hoo-.

A bird flew from the sky with the sound of an owl chirping. Shira raised her hand as if familiar with it, and landed the bird on my arm.

After untying the note tied to the bird’s ankle, Shira began to read the note with a serious expression.

“What is it about?”

“Well… … It’s a girl’s secret letter. Shall I show you if you want to know?”

“No, that’s okay.”

It’s a girl’s secret letter, so maybe she’s even exchanging letters with other girls, then that bird is probably the bird that plays the role of Jeon Seo-gu.

‘Maybe it’s because of magic, it’s really fantastic.’

Thinking like that, she waited for her to read the letter. After reading the letter, she folded a small piece of paper and put it in the owl’s mouth, and the owl who received the note flew away and disappeared.

After reading the letter, Shiira’s expression, which looked a little depressed, had changed to bright.

What the hell was written, I couldn’t quite understand.

She smiled softly, leaning back and approaching me.

“Ian.”

Whoa, whoa-.

Whoops!

Fireworks started to light up the sky from afar. A beautiful smile spread across Shiira’s face with her back to the firecrackers.

“Today was fun.”

“… … okay.”

Seeing her acting as if she was going to die soon made me feel anxious. Because she was more likely to behave like a patient who had been judged to be a terminally ill patient.

Fortunately, she quietly watched the fireworks. After the fireworks, she waved a hand and returned to the dormitory.

I also went to the dormitory late.

* * *

Shira burst into laughter as she recalled a letter from the family.

[Confirmation of the survival of the head of the Iritz family]

[As a result of the investigation, the charges against Stella Eritz and 3 others were canceled]

[Interact with Ian Clark to find out the secret]

[All for mankind]

“For Human.”

Everything for humanity.

The motto of the Marquis Acacia, full of pride to support mankind from behind.

But at this moment, Shira was more than just the safety of mankind, she was glad that Ian didn’t have to be killed.

‘Oh, I see.’

I liked Ian

Aware of that fact, Shira turned and looked at the place where Ian was.

He had already left after he had left.
