768.
“You want me to marry Chelsea? What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Not suddenly.”
Abad smiled broadly.
Leo decided to just listen to what this handsome guy had to say.
“Chelsea has been following you around a lot since the day of Lumeren’s entrance exam.”
At first, Chelsea growled at Leo just because he was with Celia, but after the entrance ceremony, she showed great affection for him.
“It was you, Leo, who gave wings to Chelsea when they had no specific goals.”
Abad took a sip of his coffee.
He smiled broadly at his friend.
“Chelsea’s life will shine with you.”
“Even without me, she can shine brightly on her own.”
“That’s true too. But I think there’s a brighter future waiting for you. Crucially.”
Abad said, looking at Leo who was reacting indifferently.
“I’m not saying this just because you’re my sister. Wouldn’t Chelsea be a great bride?”
Abad took on a serious expression.
“She has great looks… … She’s talented and her personality is… … Well, I wouldn’t say she’s good, but she’s really good to those she likes. That child will definitely become more beautiful.”
Abad smiled broadly.
“I don’t think it’s a bad offer for you?”
“I’m not interested because she’s too cute.”
“Chelsea is only a year older than you. Do you prefer older women?”
Abad made a puzzled expression.
“Come to think of it, I don’t really show much interest in my school seniors… … .”
Abad, who had thought about it up to that point, made a serious expression.
“Leo. I know you’re mature, but… … how much are you thinking about?”
“Let’s just say that I have no intention of dating anyone right now.”
“why?”
“Don’t dig too deep.”
Leo stood up from his seat.
“If you truly care about Celia and she also cares about you, I will help you as much as I can. So please don’t mention my marriage.”
Abad nodded.
“Oh, and I’m warning you.”
“huh?”
“If you date Celia, just don’t cause trouble before graduation. That would be hard for me to handle.”
“Why are you worried about that?”
Leo said as Abad burst into laughter.
“Have you forgotten about the accident that happened to Brother Lee? My uncles were racking their brains over it. I don’t want to add to that. Especially Celia, who is a precious girl to both of you.”
Although he seems strict, Seldo Jerdinger loves his daughter very much.
If you cause an accident, L’Wallin’s successor and Nabal will come running at you foaming at the mouth with a sword in hand.
“Leo. Nana Celia always put a lot of importance on the prestige of her family. And I hate to say this, but… … I’m an honor student, although not as much as Celia.”
Abad smiled brightly.
“Did I ever spread rumors about my love life while I was in school?”
Since entering school, Abad has been extremely popular because of his looks, regardless of his family background or abilities.
In fact, he is a handsome guy who receives confessions from all grades, but there has never been any rumor of an affair.
That means he managed himself very thoroughly.
Leo clicked his tongue at Abaddon’s words.
“Did you know that Senior Niel and Senior Marcel started dating because they weren’t honor students?”
Celia’s escort knight, Niel, and Abad’s closest magician, Machel.
As a vassal family representing the Gerdingers and Lwalin, they also spent their school life as near-perfect honor students so as not to bring shame on the names of the Gerdingers and Lwalin.
“What are Senior Marcel and Niel… … Wait a minute.”
Abad, who was bursting into laughter, stopped.
“no way…….”
“that’s right.”
The result was that all the emotions that had been suppressed poured out all at once like a burst dam.
“Always remember your age.”
“What’s our age… … .”
“It’s the perfect age to light a fire.”
A fire once lit is not easily extinguished.
That’s why playing with fire is scary.
“Once I’m done talking, I’ll get up first. What do you want to do?”
“Um. I’ll go back to the dorm.”
“Don’t you care about Celia?”
“Don’t worry.”
Although he had a relaxed expression, he seemed quite nervous.
“But I’m not in a position to talk about her private life right now, am I?”
“Pretending to be indifferent.”
Leo chuckled and left the store.

A cold wind blew.
Leo walked down the street, step by step.
Before we knew it, Lisinas was with Leo.
“You’re pretty good at giving relationship advice. You’re so clueless when it comes to your own relationship.”
“That’s because you and Luna didn’t show it.”
Leo grumbled.
Lisinas, who was laughing at Leo like that, suddenly glanced at the candy being sold at the stall.
At that moment, Leo went to the stall and bought a candy cane.
“Eat.”
“Ugh?!”
Then he put it in Risina’s mouth and walked away leisurely.
Risinas, her eyes wide open, approached Leo with a piece of candy in her mouth.
“Why did you buy it?”
“You and I have been together for several years. Can’t you tell that I want to eat it just by looking at it?”
‘This guy is really quick-witted in this kind of thing.’
Risinas made a slightly sullen expression.
I feel a little annoyed that he is so perceptive but doesn’t notice my own feelings.
The streets of Deang, which had been in disarray due to the civil war, were filled with a hopeful atmosphere as the civil war showed signs of ending.
Although the civil war is not yet completely over, the period just before the fighting stops is when people are most hopeful.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere in Deang was bright overall, with even a night market opening.
While walking around the night market, Leo and Lisinas spent time looking at and buying various items from street vendors or winning prizes by playing games such as dart throwing.
In the everyday atmosphere, Lisinas felt her heart pounding.
“Wow, this seems like a normal date.”
“It’s a date, right?”
“what?”
Leo looked at Risinas with a dumbfounded expression.
“Then what do you think we’re doing now?”
“hmm…….”
Lisinas, who had been embarrassed, soon laughed bashfully.
“Yeah. It was a date.”
Lisinas hummed, feeling better.
“Did you play like this with Luna too?”
“I had fun. Well, the guy kept drinking though.”
“That’s so Luna-like.”
Risinas burst into laughter.
Before I knew it, the sun was setting.
Lisinas, who was walking alongside Leo, glanced at Leo’s face.
Still a young face.
But because of its unique atmosphere, it doesn’t look difficult.
The red eyes shone even more vividly in the red sunset.
‘It’s fun.’
The ordinary daily life that Risinas had dreamed of so much.
The happiness found in it.
‘I wish time would stop forever.’
Lisinas, who had been thinking useless thoughts, reached out his hand.
And then he took Leo’s hand.
Leo stopped walking and looked at Lisinas’ face.
Lisinas looked at Leo’s face like that, smiled, and crossed his arms.
Leo sighed.
“If you had done it like this back then, I would have noticed it too.”
“You must be feeling quite wronged.”
Leo frowned as Risinas snickered.
“It’s unfair. Because of you and Luna, the young juniors call me a retard and a cripple.”
“who?”
“Your successor and Luna’s successor.”
“iced coffee.”
“They are the ones who like Lumerin but can’t even confess to her… … Next time they see her, they’ll just shave their heads.”
“Ahahahahahaha!”
Risinas burst into laughter.
Then suddenly his eyes opened wide.
“Oh, it’s Celia.”
At those words, Leo also discovered Celia.
Lisinas laughed playfully.
“Shall we take a quick look?”
***
There was a group of people watching from afar at the humans and elves spending time at the night market.
“Wow, the atmosphere is nice.”
“What, it has a kind of pink vibe?”
“Yeah. The atmosphere is really good.”
“Oh my… … This won’t do. I have to watch tears pour from that kid’s eyes.”
Chen Xia, Eiran, and Runia swallowed dry saliva.
Alice was stamping her feet.
Even though they are hero candidates and such, they are girls at an age where love has long been frozen, so they became engrossed in the story even while secretly watching Celia and Garin’s date.
Of course, there were some people who couldn’t get into it at all.
“Are you feeling well? Just your usual Celia.”
Chen Xia looked sympathetic as Chloe tilted her head.
“Miss Chloe. Don’t just read grimoires and strangely difficult books. Read some romance novels, too.”
“That’s right. You should read a variety of books. If you only read certain books, you’ll end up with a weird head like Eiran.”
“You should read the book that Ailan is reading.”
“How are my novels?”
When Ailan started to cry, Chloe said, feeling choked up.
“Airan, do you have the book now?”
“There is one in the subspace.”
“Give it to me.”
“Oh my? This must be quite stimulating for the innocent Chloe.”
Chen Xia laughed brightly and teased Chloe.
Chloe, who had laughed, took the book from Eiran.
And then I opened the page where the bookmark was.
Chloe snorted as she read what was on the page.
“What? It’s nothing.”
“What’s on that page?”
“It’s about the main character and the female protagonist bathing together.”
“Strange? Wouldn’t this be enough of a stimulus for Miss Chloe?”
“You’re kidding. I even tried it myself?!”
Chloe, who was so upset, unknowingly said things she shouldn’t have said.
The girls who had been teasing Chloe were dumbfounded for a moment.
“… … Huh?!”
Chloe covered her mouth in horror.
“Have you ever taken a mixed bath? With whom?”
Chen Xia, with a smile on her face, pressed her face close to Chloe’s.
“Is that person Leo?”
“That… … That… … .”
“What the heck! What on earth is your relationship!”
“Now, tell me more!”
Runia and Eiran also ran up to him and shouted.
“Wow… … The Lumerun kids are no joke… … .”
It was when Alice was muttering blankly.
“You guys. What are you doing, hiding here?”
“I was secretly watching because I thought Garin was going to confess to Celia… … Huh?!”
Alice, who had been answering without thinking at the cold voice heard from behind, turned around in surprise.
There stood Celia, her fierce aura spreading.
***
On the rooftop overlooking the night market.
“What are they doing? Tsk.”
Leo clicked his tongue.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Leo turned his head at the voice he heard from the side.
There, Lisinas was opening his eyes half-closed.
“I’ll tell you this. It was an accident.”
“Huh? Do you like it? Because pretty girls like you?”
“Are you jealous?”
“Jealousy.”
Lisinas, who had laughed, stood up from his seat.
Leo clicked his tongue as he looked at such a Risinas.
“How can I cheer up?”
“Oh my. You care about my feelings too.”
Risinas laughed with a kick, then thought about it and smiled brightly.
“Tell me about your past.”
“My past story?”
“Yeah. Like a first love story.”
“There’s no such thing?”
“Are you stupid? Anyway, I’m curious about your past story. It would be hard to do it with your mind clear?”
Lisinas grabbed Leo and pulled him up.
“Night is coming soon.”
As he said, darkness was approaching.
Lisinas smiled brightly.
“Let’s have a drink.”
