The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

112 – Determination (10)

“Serica. Are you okay?”

“Yes… ! Are you okay!”

She was pretending to be okay, but Celica seems to be quite overpowered.

She lay on the floor gasping for breath. Her whole body was covered in sweat and her hair was tousled.

After the sparring, Kayla and I continued to practice.

Then Celica, who was watching us, raised her hand and said.

“Is it okay if I join you?”

At Celica’s words, Kayla stopped with a worried tone.

“The intensity of training is quite high. Can you follow me?”

As Kayla said, the intensity of our training was quite strong.

In fact, it was impossible for her, who was no different from an ordinary person, to be able to keep up.

But Celica nodded her head in her perky voice.

“Yes! I’ll try it!”

And within ten minutes, Celica was exhausted.

Even light leaps had to be followed by Celica’s sprint.

The muscle training that followed couldn’t even catch up to half of us.

While she was breathing lightly, Celica fell to the ground and gasped on her godson.

She put down her staff, which she always cherished, and was busy adjusting her breathing.

“Are you okay? That’s why it’s too much.”

When I handed Celica her water bottle, she immediately took it and gulped down her water.

Then she drank too quickly and choked.

“I-I’m fine…”

Still, I didn’t give up halfway because I had tenacity.

However, training in this way could backfire.

No matter how many potions you have, you can’t erase mental damage or fatigue, so you have to be careful.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

While I was training, Erina just watched me quietly.

Is it because he is already strong enough to not need training? She just watched me work out.

“You sweat a lot.”

Erina carefully wiped her body with the towel she was holding.

While doing so, she secretly groped her body. From her neck to her back and waist. Her touch came down and she narrowly tried to cross her line.

Kayla, who was watching from her side, jerked her head away.

“How far are you going?”

Erina took the towel she was holding. She complained as if she was sorry, but she had no reason to accept it.

She finished as it was and raised Celica from her seat.

“Come on. Let’s get up We have to go back soon.”

“Okay…”

She, who was very tired, got her body up as if she had come to her senses.

“So, why are you here?”

When we returned to the inn, a woman was waiting for us.

Yulia. The head of the requesting office, she came to visit us.

Even she was alone. She was without Colin and her attendants who always stood by her side.

“Yesterday was hectic. Sorry.”

She came up to me with her mischievous eyes and bowed her head.

Did it bother her that she welcomed me while being drenched in alcohol?

But contrary to what she said, the bottle was still in her hand.

“How is it? I brought you a gift as an apology.”

“Am I drinking too much?”

“A. Why are you like that?”

Once a guest has arrived, it is impossible to leave it out.

Erina kept Yulia in check until the end, but she didn’t even listen to her like usual.

After leading Yulia into her accommodation, Celica brought a simple fruit and a glass.

“Kayla. Celica. Can I take care of the children?”

“Yes. All right.”

I wanted to have a conversation with Yulia alone. But Erina, of course, didn’t want to fall by my side.

Yulia opened the stopper of her bottle while facing me and Erina.

“This is more expensive than I thought. I have tried almost all the alcohol in the world, but this is the most delicious.”

When I tilted the bottle against the glass, it was filled with a clear liquid. Taking her glass and bringing it to her nose, the sweet fruity scent tickled her nostrils.

When I tried to hand Erina her glass, I immediately stepped in and stopped it.

“Erina can’t drink.”

While playing the game, Erina also had a drink.

After defeating the demon king, she was seen drinking beer at a festival in town.

She didn’t get exactly how much she drank, but I still remember her drunken big smile.

Ever since she fell into this world, Erina hasn’t had a single drink.

Is it because she doesn’t know what kind of action she will commit if she gets drunk?

“Yes. Then let’s have a drink together.”

We lightly toasted and drank. As the sweet alcohol traveled down her gullet, her body relaxed.

As she said, alcohol had a unique flavor. If I could afford it, I would have liked to continue drinking.

Erina drank her ice water, frowning as if she didn’t like it.

“Erina. You can’t.”

“I know. I have no intention of drinking.”

The fact that I’m talking to another woman just seems offended.

Even so, Yulia just enjoys drinking while humming her song. She didn’t even flinch.

“So. What did you come for Where are the others going?”

“No big deal. I just came to play.”

It didn’t sound like a lie. There was no reason for her to come to me. I already said what I had to say, and my business was over.

Did you really come to meet me and play?

At least I got along well with Yulia, who helped us, so there was nothing bad about it.

“Is that why you came alone? Bring Colin.”

“I hate it. He also started nagging along with the others.”

“It must be because you drank too much.”

“Don’t even say that to yourself. I’m sick of it now.”

Colin was in trouble as much as Yulia behaved arbitrarily. This is a fact she learned from talking with Colin briefly yesterday.

She certainly wouldn’t have allowed me if I had told her that she would meet me alone. When I expressed her question, Yulia shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh, I just jumped out of the window and sneaked out.”

“Then Colin and the attendants.”

“Maybe there was a fuss about finding me.”

I sipped her glass with a mean expression. For a moment, I wanted to punch myself in the head, but I decided to hold back.

After that, Yulia began to relieve her accumulated stress through conversation.

I just listened to her complaints.

She only chimed in or answered from time to time, but that alone kept the conversation going.

“Anyway, Schnella. He always frets because he can’t eat me.”

“Still, isn’t it better than Carlson?”

“Don’t even mention that bastard. Even now, you’re a bastard who’s eager to bring me down.”

She was outspoken about gossiping about her own co-workers and swearing at her rivals.

Is that so? She was more agitated than usual.

Her voice grew higher as she drank, and she smiled.

Then all the alcohol was gone. She let out a sigh as she tapped the empty bottle.

“Would you like some more wine?”

“Really…?”

“Yes. She wouldn’t normally be able to drink often.”

When she heard Yulia’s words, she felt sorry for her.

It seems that he is under a lot of stress to get hit by work and take the position of the commissioner.

She didn’t say it herself, but it all came out of her attitude and tone.

Still, she was able to drink and chat as much as she could now.

It would be better to leave it as it is.

“I want to meet you when I go back to the capital.”

“Mister?”

“The old man at the steakhouse last time.”

She must have been a regular. Even then, the attitude towards each other seemed to be more than just a customer and a shop owner.

After hearing the story, the relationship was quite deep. It is said that they have been together for almost 10 years and have continued to this day.

“When I was a receptionist, I owed a lot to you. Thanks to that, I can eat and drink to my heart’s content.”

“I’ll have to go see you when I go back to the capital later.”

“Yes. Then let’s go together I will buy it for you.”

While her story was blooming, Erina glared at Yulia in an uncomfortable posture throughout her life.

As the chatter that lasted for nearly 30 minutes showed no signs of ending, it seemed that her patience was reaching its limit.

“Slowly stop. How long are you going to waste your time needlessly?”

“Why are you doing that? We’ve become comrades, so let’s not be rigid.”

Yulia’s playful tone was scratching Erina’s nerves.

Erina and Yulia were in complete conflict.

She was the only one who brushed aside her blunt attitude and her threats casually.

That’s why Erina couldn’t treat Yulia carelessly.

“Why on earth do I have to spend time with a woman like this?”

When she grumbled as if asking everyone to listen, I stepped in and stopped Erina.

“Erina. Wait a munite.”

“Yes. I won’t be able to see you for a long time tomorrow anyway.”

At her sly attitude, Erina shut her mouth while suppressing her fervor.

Another thirty minutes passed like that. Empty bottles piled up on the table.

Yulia’s cheeks turned red as her words gradually faded.

She let out a pleasant sigh, as if her composure had finally been resolved.

“Whoah…”

I ran out of alcohol. It’s been a long time since all the fruits Celica brought have fallen.

“Well, I should go soon. The kids will be really worried.”

“From now on, don’t sneak out and just come. Bring Colin too.”

“Yes. I don’t know when that will be.”

As Yulia said, we don’t know when we’ll meet.

I had to head to the forest of Hellwood, where the elves are, tomorrow.

Yulia’s party also had to go back to the capital and do their own thing.

Yulia got up from her seat and headed for the front door. She opened the door and she went out with a cool breeze.

“It’s okay to go a little slower. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“…Because I don’t have time.”

As the story progresses faster, I have more things to do.

The immediate priority was to rescue Tyria and protect the Elven Forest. To do that, we had to move as quickly as possible.

Yulia was already aware of my decision. She still clicked her tongue in regret.

“Still, take a little more rest.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

“What are you worried about? You will do well.”

Yulia believed in me. That heart was enough for her.

But she was worried about me too.

“But don’t overdo it.”

“…”

“It’s just an investigation. It’s not like we’re directly confronting the elves, it’s just reconnaissance.”

She was right. All he had to do was wander around the Hellwood Forest and grasp the situation.

But I had to meet Tyria. And I had to make her her ally.

To do so, a clash between the elves and the demon army was inevitable.

Still, I couldn’t tell Yulia all the facts.

“Can you walk alone?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. Anyway, if you go near the mansion…”

“Ah! Commissioner!”

I heard Colin’s voice in the distance. The attendants were also by her side. When Yulia disappeared, she seems to have been looking around.

Seeing Yulia smelling of her alcohol, Colin immediately frowned at her.

“No matter how much I try not to drink alcohol. What if I run away!”

“Whoops… okay. We finished drinking, so let’s go back.”

Having already enjoyed drinking to the fullest, she had no regrets. She moved on, ignoring the laments of those around her.

Even in her absent-mindedness, Colin bowed politely to me.

“I’m sorry. Seohyun. Didn’t Julia-sama bother you?”

“No, it’s okay. It was more fun than I thought.”

Yulia looked behind her and smiled as if she had heard me.

“Yes. I was happy too.”

Yulia moved her steps while shaking her hand. She faded out of sight last, with Colin following her.

After spending so much time, her drawing room was a mess.

‘Still, was it fun?’

At least I had someone I could drink with, so there was nothing wrong with that.
