Love Letter From The Future

7. Jealousy is my strength (17)

Numerous regions coexisted on the continent.

And this also meant that a lot of different cultures and traditions had been inherited. It is said that the details vary greatly from culture to culture, but there was also a truth that was passed down in common regardless of the East and the West.

Most of them were ethics that mankind should universally accept.

Such as altruism, sacrifice for the community, or the spirit of strong-arms.

These ideologies used to constitute the foundation of the human spirit. These values were important enough to form the basic framework of society, and some teachings rooted in them were also being handed down.

These were lessons shared by the continent’s countless populations.

For example, there was one saying that you will always hear when you live as a boy.

There are three things a man should be careful of in order to avoid disgrace.

It was alcohol, women, and drugs.

In fact, there was nothing I could do about the first two. Because I already have so many karma that I have accumulated.

But I never thought I would achieve the last condition.

Am I going to disgrace myself like this?

Dark prospects began to loom over my head. It was a future that was drunk with alcohol and drugs and acted as a supporter dissolutely.

The saintess would be ripped off every night, and Delphine would go over with whatever I did.

Elsie had a surprisingly sacrificial side. It’ll hurt my feelings, but I won’t deliberately show off in front of me.

Continuing these useless daydreams, I had an accident until I came to a forbidden realization.

isn’t it bad?

Rather, it could be said that it is the life that everyone dreams of. To lead a competent and pretty wife and enjoy every day like a hanryang?

However, I soon had to erase the ominous blueprint from my mind.

It was because the thoughts reached the rest of the women.

Emma would swallow her tears alone as she watched me fall apart day by day. In addition, Seria would wander the streets at night holding a sword every night.

In order to find out the woman who had a one-night stand with me.

Just imagining it was terrifying. I just wanted to prevent a catastrophe in which the peaceful village becomes agitated by a series of mysterious murders.

That’s how I was in the middle of splitting the light and darkness of my face alone.

“Don’t worry too much.”

As if looking inside me, Emma’s assertion continued.

In my own delusion, I had to look at Emma in amazement.

A soft arc formed at the corner of Emma’s mouth. It was a warm, firm smile.

As if to stop thinking about useless things.

“It’s not a formula that was created for the purpose of preparing in large quantities anyway. Not only is it difficult to get the ingredients, but the manufacturing process is also tricky. Of course, the effect is as strong as that.”

“Isn’t it enough to consume it as a favorite item?”

At my question, Emma nodded. Soon after, the expert’s explanation was added.

“For that purpose, there are many more efficient formulations. It’s like the stuff on the black market.”

Hmm, I swallowed my saliva.

If so, what on earth did he hand over this formula to use?

In the end, there was only one way out of this impasse.

“… … Me, Emma?”

“Okay, I’ll try to make it.”

Before I could ask anything, Emma gave me the expected answer.

Is it that easy to understand my inner thoughts?

I cleared my throat to hide my embarrassment, but I couldn’t avoid Emma’s tickling gaze.

“I need some time instead. There are a lot of unfamiliar medicine procedures, so it requires skill rather than knowledge. There are many ingredients that are easy to mistake… First of all, I’ll get the materials within a few days.”

“Thank you, Emma. And… … .”

That’s how my mouth was about to recite the words of apology following thanks.

Emma’s thin index finger touched her lips. I was taken aback by the feel of that soft skin.

Her fingers are so thin and cold.

It was a finger I had touched countless times.

When it touched my lips, it felt different again. Emma didn’t miss the moment when I was fascinated.

“Don’t apologize. Because I got more from you than that.”

“Have you paid off all your debts?”

At the same time, I tapped the hatchet dangling from my waist as if showing off.

It was a treasure worth tens of thousands of gold.

In other words, it meant that it was more valuable than the corpse of the Witchbeast I had dedicated to saving Emma. At the time, the price of the corpse he heard as a gift was about 10,000 gold.

Therefore, there was no reason for Emma to feel indebted to me. If I had been an investor, I would have rarely done more than this.

Still, Emma just shook her head with a strange smile.

“No, I received something more precious than life.”

“what is that?”

“What is that… … .”

Emma’s voice, which continued naturally, suddenly stopped.

Twenty-twenty years ago, a light pink mist was rising from that calm face. Her expression remained the same, but it was clear that Emma was feeling ashamed.

what the hell are you trying to answer?

When I sent a suspicious glance, Emma cleared her throat and slightly averted her gaze. And as if he had made up his mind soon, he even closed his eyes tightly.

The woman’s upper body leaned slightly and the distance between them decreased.

With a very short gap, the sweet breath wets the ears.

The voice that Emma wrung out in spite of her shame was no more than one word.

“… … Bar, that’s you.”

The face of the woman telling the secret story was already blushing.

I had a stupid expression on my face for a moment, and then a peek-a-thon laugh flowed out of my mouth.

What did you say?

I put my arm around Emma’s shoulder, who slowly withdrew, and pulled her as it was.

The result was obvious.

Emma buried her face in my chest while saying uhhh. As if he hadn’t even expected this development, even his breathing stopped.

Now it was my turn to whisper.

“I appreciate your presence too, Emma.”

To the words thrown at her as she hugged the woman with strength, Emma did not respond for a while.

I just gently closed my eyes and entrusted myself to my arms.

For a long time after that, I enjoyed my time with Emma.

As I left the studio, an unfamiliar sound resonated in my arms.

It was the sound of metal keys being struck. It was the last gift Emma gave me as she saw me off.

“… … It is my workshop key.”

There was a faint heat on Emma’s face as she said that. It seemed that the aftereffects of the love affair with me had not yet gone away.

“We also… Hey, it’s a romantic relationship. for now.”

So, he said, feel free to visit us anytime.

The workshops of wizards and alchemists were especially secret places. It was because there were hidden research materials and all kinds of visions that they regarded as life.

So, receiving the key to the workshop had a special meaning.

It meant that I trusted the other person enough to give my all.

There was no way I wouldn’t feel good. I gladly agreed to accept Emma’s favor.

It’s been a few minutes since I left the studio with such a light heart.

My heart got heavy again.

Numerous challenges still remained. For example, the Lady of Lupesia, or a means to catch the vampire.

The case didn’t even start right.

Even so, the questions to be resolved only piled up, so I had no choice but to feel frustrated. The only thing worth looking forward to was the existence of ‘elsie senior’ from the future.

Isn’t it the woman who has been researching a way to restore victims who have been victimized by vampires?

The inference that he might have something secret was reasonable. In particular, it bothered me that he kept a strange silence during the conversation about vampires.

In the end, should I visit senior Elsie again?

It was a car that was lost in these thoughts.

In the distance, gray hair could be seen.

It was one of the symbols of blood relatives of vampires. In addition, the blue pupils reflected below were as beautiful as well-crafted jewels.

For an instant, I thought of the moon.

All men were like that. How can you describe her fairy-tale beauty that carries the cold and darkness on her own, even though she is walking under the midday sun?

But the moment the eyes of the girl and I met.

“… … senior!”

My junior, Seria’s face brightened in an instant, and a bright smile rose like the sun.

A girl with a clear voice walked towards me. His serious expression was already crumpled like waste paper and thrown into a trash can for a long time.

And as soon as Seria approached me, she naturally grabbed my sleeve and sniffed.

Soon, a bleak ship came to mind.

“But why, does it smell like another woman?”

“Because I met another woman.”

In response to my perfectly natural answer, Seria immediately puffed out her cheeks and asked.

“Who are you?”

“If you tell me, they will harm you.”

“aaa! Who are you? … .”

“Even if I act cute, I have no intention of telling you.”

My strong attitude made Seria sullen as if she had died.

It was so cute that I almost wavered, but I managed to make up my mind. No matter what, I couldn’t tell Seria about Emma.

Instead, I bring up another topic to turn the corner.

“So, why did you look so serious?”

“Ah, that’s it.”

Then Seria laughed as if it was nothing.

“I went to visit Miss Hastur, but I heard that she is missing. Then, since I ran into senior Ian, I would like to thank Miss Hastur… … .”

“Please, tell me earlier… … !”

It was a very important story to me, though.
