Love Letter From The Future

4.5 Interlude: Between Lover and Dog (2)

Celine let out a long sigh.

It was only after hearing my story that I felt relieved. A variety of emotions flashed across his expression.

Relief, joy, and a hazy pity and pity.

The emotions I could understand were rather rare.

But I was only thinking about Elsie-senpai.

Celine had a particularly strong obsession with me.

Of course, there was no way Elsie-senpai who confessed to me looked nice.

As an analogy, it would look like an existence stealing away a friendly older brother.

In Celine’s eyes, emotions such as sympathy and pity were reflected. No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one possibility.

It meant that as a woman, she sympathized with senior Elsie’s miserable feelings.

So I felt my heart shrink even more.

Did I hurt you too much

She looks strong at first glance, but Elsie was a woman who was hiding a tender inner side.

I don’t know, but it would take quite a while to get over the pain of a broken heart.

And my guess was soon proved.

It was thanks to Celine’s bitter muttering.

“Yeah, that’s right… Somehow, I hear him crying every night.”

“… … Was that all?”

“And the sound of cursing Ian.”

I thought I could understand why Celine came straight to me.

Indeed, he was like senior Elsie.

Lately, when he ran into me, he looked down, coughed, and blushed, but in his room, he was cursing at me.

Even so, he would still show an obedient attitude towards me.

It was like that when you look at the way he nodded whenever he greeted them, or he promptly fulfilled every time he handed over a trivial request.

Even if that were the case, the resentment of the woman he harbored within him could not have subsided.

It was heartbreaking.

Seeing that I had such a gloomy expression on my face, Celine carefully gave me words of comfort.

“You, don’t worry too much! Anyway, if you’re senior Rainella, you’ll have a better partner than Ian oppa, huh.”

“… … Is that a compliment?”

I was a bit taken aback and asked again.

If Elsie could overcome the pain of a broken heart and stand up, it would be a welcome thing. But to comfort her by saying that there must be many men better than me.

It was not wrong. That’s why it felt like I was stabbed to the point.

Of course, whether it was or not, Celine didn’t seem to care at all.

Her expression, which had even erased even the slightest pity, was completely relaxed.

I was dumbfounded inside, but decided to leave Celine alone for now.

Because the wandering look was pretty cute.

For a long time, Celine added a few words as if she had suddenly become anxious.

“… … But brother Ian, you know? I have never bullied anyone.”

“Who said what?”

I dismissed Celine’s concerns with a snort.

In fact, there was a history of creating bad public opinion towards Seria.

Did you solve it well with Seria on that point? I think I’ve apologized before.

Thinking that I should find out someday, I had a chat with Celine alone that night for the first time in a long time.

Without being able to erase the shadow of Elsie sunbae sunbaenim in a corner of my heart.

However, there was one fortunate fact.

Thanks to defeating the corpse giant, a lot of troubles were solved.

Not only did hundreds of territories survive, but they were also able to protect their livelihood.

That alone was worth giving my life for.

But aside from me, there was one person whose spirits increased, and that was the saintess.

Conceited, she put her hand on her chest and straightened her shoulders.

Breasts full of presence were emphasized again. Whenever that happened, I would look back on the pleasant memories with the saintess.

That soft, bouncy feel.

It was great.

I inadvertently put my chin on my chin and tried to nod my head, but I managed to hold it in.

Even Yuren was sitting next to her.

Giving Yuren a strange misunderstanding was a no-brainer.

Maybe he’ll come back with a knife, asking what he did to his sister.

Read at readwn

Just imagining it was terrifying.

I felt cold sweat running down my back as I admired the proud saintess.

“Ahaha… Ian, you should have seen Patriarch Eindel’s reaction then? That old man said he had used blood for reserve, so he kept his mouth shut while he was about to explode into a rage… Pooh.”

“… … Is it such a great achievement to subdue the family of evil gods?”

“Absolutely!”

The saintess clenched her fists and said that, as if the excitement of the victory hadn’t gone away yet.

It had been a long time since she had been so excited.

He cried and cried only when I woke up and clung to me, and it seemed that he was so happy that he gave that ‘Patriarch Eindel’ a shot.

So, I had no choice but to smile faintly while looking at the saintess.

If she was good, I was good too.

“Catholic religion exists to protect mankind from evil spirits. And it’s no exaggeration to say that the family of the evil spirits are at the forefront! It is truly a mythical achievement.”

Of course, I came to stand at the helm of that brilliant achievement.

As a saintess, it was a treatment that might feel a bit unfair.

No matter how much I risked my life to attack, it was because the saintess was the one who weakened the corpse giant and provided a decisive opportunity.

Even the blood she wrote had enormous value equivalent to a castle.

Even so, the saintess did not show any sign of regret.

Instead, he just looked at me with proud eyes.

On the contrary, it seemed that she was more excited because I was doing well.

“… … Well, can’t you do something reckless like that time again? Ian, as others say, you really almost died then.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

While making promises that seemed unlikely to be kept, I turned my gaze to Yuren.

He was just looking at me and the saintess with a satisfied look.

Whether the saintess and I had a conversation or not, there was no way to interfere at all.

No matter how much it was, it was embarrassing to leave it alone like a conifer in a snowy field, so I was about to hand it over.

“Ian, then take care of your sister for a moment. I have unpacked luggage… … .”

He left with a wink in one eye.

Today was the day to leave the mansion and head to the academy.

If there was something he hadn’t packed, it was natural to prioritize it.

However, the fact that the escort knight was away and left a request was tantamount to saying that I had to stay by the saintess’ side for a while.

In the end, I had to listen to the proud saintess’ boast for a long time.

It was fine though.

Because spending time with the saintess was always fun.

Thanks to that, I was able to melt the time until I said goodbye to my family.

Separation from family was always the same.

I just hugged my father and mother, then my older brother and Leah, in turn.

My father and mother told me to take care of myself, and my brother handed me a rough opal. Considering that it was a gemstone that even I had never seen before, I wondered if there might be a recently discovered mineral vein.

The person who shared the deepest hug was always Lia.

She buried her face in my arms and tightened her arms around me. The touch of the soft woman’s body pressed me hard, and it felt uncomfortable in many ways.

Leah looked up at me with watery eyes.

“… … How are you?”

“Yes, Leah. See you next vacation.”

It was an obvious greeting.

Finally, I turned around, and the Percus family stared at the back of the wagon I was leaving, and it was over.

But today, in the meantime, a new mystery has been added.

As usual, it was because Lia, who kissed my cheek with her lips, left a meaningful word.

“I won’t wait that long, brother.”

What do you mean?

I wondered for a moment, but the party had been waiting for too long.

In the end, I had no choice but to put Lia’s words aside and walk away from the mansion.

Inside the carriage, the sound of Doran Doran and his party’s conversation could already be heard.

The main target was Elsie senior.

With her mouth covered, the saintess was casting a pitying look at senior Elsie.

“Sister Rainella, I heard… He confessed to Ian that he was different. My heart hurts. If you ever need help from the heavenly gods, please come to us without hesitation.”

It was not something that could be hidden forever.

In the end, everyone in the party found out about the incident between me and Elsie-senpai, and because of that, Elsie-senpai seemed to be humiliated today.

If I knew it would be like this, I’d rather have it thoroughly clamped down.

However, it was inevitable that the source of the rumors was not on my side.

I heard that senior Elsie, caught in the saintess’ provocation, inadvertently confessed.

Indeed, the speech skills of the saintess who walked the political arena like thin ice were terrifying.

Of course, even if the saintess teased her, she wasn’t Elsie-senpai who would stay calm.

She immediately bared her teeth and let out a growl.

“… … Hey, put your hand away.”

At that, the saintess silently removed her hand covering her mouth.

It was a brief moment, but it was clearly visible.

The corners of his mouth drew an arc with a smirk.

Unable to hold back any longer, Elsie raised her voice.

“When I asked if this bitch was coming, he really… … !”

It was then that I let out a clearing of my throat.

Surprised, Elsie-senpai’s eyes turned to me, and then, embarrassed, she avoided my gaze.

And the blushing girl hesitated and sat down again.

He didn’t seem willing to talk to me yet.

I had a slightly bitter look at that point, but the saintess only had the smile of a victor.

Eventually, a sigh came out of my mouth.

When I arrived at the academy, I thought I would have to set up another place with senior Elsie.

A few days to talk to the party like that.

I was finally able to stand in front of a familiar campus.

It was a scene that did not feel particularly real because I had been through all kinds of upheaval.

It was also because the vacation was not over yet, and Jungang-daero was quiet.

Did I really return to the academy?

It was a sudden cry that awakened me from my bewilderment.

“… … aang!”

It was a small, cute voice.

It seems to have imitated a menacing beast in its own way, but it wasn’t scary at all because of its tone.

My eyes went blank and I followed the source of the sound.

There stood a girl with dark blue hair.

The two hands were folded as if following the claws of an animal, the eyes closed and the upper body forward, the form was quite lovely.

Soon I had no choice but to ask stupidly.

“… … What is it?”

“Kuhmm,” the girl cleared her throat and straightened her posture again.

Still, there was a blush on his cheeks, as if he was ashamed.

The girl lowered her pale gray eyes and said.

“that that… It’s a dragon! The puppy seems to already have a seat… … .”

Seeing that, I couldn’t help but smile.

You’re finally back.

It was because there was only one place on earth for such a careless princess to stay.

It was the end of a long vacation.
