32 – First Date (3)

Ahem.

My name is Mirren Justiha.

He is Elfi’s only younger sister.

My sister said. I’ve been asleep for 8 years, but Nefi oppa woke me up.

I was surprised that her eyes turned golden, but I’m used to it now.

At first, it was awkward for her older sister, who quickly turned from eighteen to twenty-six.

She soon realized that nothing had changed about the Elfi sister I knew.

By the way.

Elfi’s sister who came back to her house is a little strange.

She would stare blankly at the sky from time to time, and she would show off that something was missing.

My sister used to cook for me whenever that happened, but I ran away with her struggles every time.

I think that’s one of the reasons why my body recovers quickly after being bedridden for 8 years.

… Ugh, it’s horrible to think about.

It must have been exactly a week since you came home? I asked her sister.

[Elphy, I want to see a person with two souls. I couldn’t even say thank you.]

I can still clearly see the reaction my sister showed to my request.

[Neffi?! hehehe, well… I didn’t really want to see it, but that’s it. I have a debt to Mirren, and maybe visit her once.]

If it’s the usual Elfie sister, she’ll simply say, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ I knew very well that it was over.

That’s right, I’m Elfi’s sister, right?

I’m not a 14-year-old girl who doesn’t know the meaning of her sister’s tanned cheeks.

‘This is the first time LP unnie has done this…’

Actually, until then, I didn’t like Elfi’s reaction like this.

My sister was an unmarried woman until her late age, but it was only a voluntary choice for her.

No matter how much a life saver you are, you can’t like a man who hears her affair with her sister every chance you have.

A man who doesn’t exchange letters on such a topic must be nothing more than a playboy and idiot… I thought so.

Besides, my sister joined the Knights at an early age, two years after her debut tant. It was obvious that she would be overly naive when it comes to relationships with men and women.

‘I must enlighten her sister.’

Unexpectedly, I was full of this determination.

Her prejudices are broken soon after her first meeting with her Nefi and her brother.

It was when I bowed her head and said hello to her.

[This is Mirren Justiha. Nice to see you. Nefi brother.]

That was a mistake.

I was supposed to call her Marquis, but she inadvertently treated me like an Elfi sister.

But it was a good mistake.

[Heuk!?]

Her brother trembled as if an arrow had been pierced through her heart. It was when I was in a panic because of my rudeness.

[How could…]

‘How can you say that you have such a spoiled child?’

I closed my eyes. Until Nefi exclaimed.

[You can be like an angel like this!!!]

[Neffi?]

[Yes, you said Mirren, right? Oh, why don’t you come with me? Ugh! My leg hurts.]

[… Are you crazy?]

[Crazy. I opened my eyes to a new view of the universe, but can I? Come on, Mirren. What do you want to eat? Unlike your sister, the chef here cooks amazing.]

[How is my cooking!?]

I thought it was a sandcastle that would break if I touched it for a moment.

If I hadn’t turned it down because of his caring attitude, I would have been on a wooden horse.

After talking for a while, I realized one thing.

‘These two look alike…’

I was sure that Elfi and Nefi were the same kind of idiots. It’s very similar to not being honest.

In fact, they must be proud of themselves for being honest and smart, right? Actually knowing nothing.

On the contrary, I think that’s what suits each other better than anyone else.

So I decided to do something.

‘Let me be a stepping stone for the two of you.’

Because of her pride, Elfi can’t find an excuse to meet her.

Nefi is unaware of the way she looks when talking to her older sister.

It’s a pair that has a good chance of doing well. Above all, what would happen if an older brother who was so good to me when we first met got closer?

I’m sure it will be a very good thing for me.

‘That’s right… My brother-in-law is the age he wants to decide himself.’

“Why did you put up with that stare! And why are you now revealing the truth?”

“I don’t mind pointing fingers at everyone in the world. It’s just… As time passed, I couldn’t handle your distrustful gaze.”

“I didn’t even know that… I resented you and was wary! Hey, if it’s okay with the Marquis, can I get to know you now?”

“Of course. It’s new, but will you… Walk with me, lady?”

“I am…!”

The woman spread her earnest tone and was embraced by her man.

A thunderous applause erupted from the front, left, and right at the beautiful appearance that brought tears to the eyes.

We were no different. A standing ovation was given without regret and cheers were chanted.

Mirren looks at me and Ir Elfie with twinkling eyes. She seems to be worried that we might get bored.

As she raised her thumb to indicate that she was having fun, Mirren’s face suddenly turned pouty.

“What’s wrong with Mirren?”

“Neffi is an idiot.”

“Yeah, if it’s Mirren, then that’s it.”

“Ugh…!”

After a moment of stroking Mirren, who was frowning cutely, a man who appeared to be the leader of the troupe appeared on her stage, covering her breasts.

May he proudly spread his arms and shout.

“The story of this play was written by His Majesty the Great Emperor, and he left a message of thanks to the two mysterious men and women who gave the gift of inspiration for this masterpiece!”

I couldn’t help but admire the unexpected fact.

“Well, Your Majesty must have been surprisingly versatile.”

“When I was young, I heard rumors circulating about the second coming of the first emperor of Astelnerca.”

“… My sister and brother are both idiots.”

Mirren’s small grunt is like her downcast puppy. Maybe the play wasn’t to your liking?

With refreshed hearts, we left the theater and walked around the central plaza of Eldrian.

Among them, one facility caught my attention.

“Ooh.”

The fountain that pumps water vigorously shows off its majesty with dynamic decorations. It was so big that the top was higher than most shopping malls, so it looked far away.

‘It’s already been nearly three months since I threatened Netion Peace to dance my X-Two dance naked there.’

Except for the day when the Irelpi came, I spent most of my days like a hikikomori.

Maybe that’s why the incident at the time still feels as vivid as if it happened the other day.

“What’s in the fountain?”

Ir Elfi asked as well, turning her head towards the fountain.

“No, because it is a place with a special story.”

Did the dim eyes draw her curiosity? Elfie narrowed her eyebrows and questioned her.

“A special… Story?”

“Ah. I was going to make special memories here, but unfortunately it didn’t work.”

“Huh, huh. You must be very close with him.”

I didn’t think much of it.

“What is it? We’ve seen each other before.”

“What?!”

Irlp’s eyes twisted diagonally. Her eyes look as if she has been betrayed by someone she trusted.

“What’s wrong with elfi?”

“… You must be very close.”

“Physically, it can be said that they are one body of one mind.”

“One body!”

Illelpi asked back, frightened.

“So, does that mean that you mixed bodies?”

“Depending on how you express it, you can see it that way.”

“…”

“Irlp?”

Her body trembled. Unsurprisingly, her lips were twisted and tightly shut.

This was the moment I inadvertently reached out to her.

An urgent cry echoed from somewhere in the central plaza.

“It’s a pickpocket!”

“Oh, my money bag?”

“Come to think of it, my ring too!”

“I saw it. It was definitely a duo!”

The priorities were clear in the central square, which suddenly became noisy. If it was now, I wouldn’t have gone far.

I whispered as I touched the floor.

“Activation of the senses.”

As if the sum had been prepared in advance, Ir Elfi widened her senses without a word.

It wasn’t long before we started running in different directions without even talking to each other.

IRLP and I were aiming for opposite directions. The pickpocketing of the duo must have been an attempt to split into two and join at a certain point.

I tracked the pickpocket without hesitation by detecting the audible sound of hasty footsteps and stolen goods.

“Even a pickpocket is a normal human being.”

It was not my opponent who could complete the race from Jedo to Daegong-dong in 5 days.

In fact, the figure of a man who bursts out a mean laugh with satisfaction is already reflected in the field of vision.

“What, what are you?!”

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Illelpi, it’s that question-and-answer dance is the most comfortable at times like this.”

“Kek!”

By adjusting the force moderately, the capital is planted on the back of the man’s neck. He collapsed on the floor in an instant, as if he had been hit by his tranquilizer gun.

I picked up the pickpocket and returned to the central plaza, but Irlp was already returning stolen goods to the victims.

“Hey, Irlfi. What about pickpocketing?”

“There was a guard at the place where I was suppressed, so I took over right away.”

“Good timing.”

As soon as I put it down like a pickpocket, the victims who had not yet returned the stolen goods rushed in like wolves.

“Take only your own things. I won’t stop you until you feed them chestnuts in moderation.”

As soon as I stepped away from the pickpocket, their reaction was intense. The angry victims beat him to punish him.

… It must be self-sufficient.

Amid a scene of abuse and violence, I quickly returned to protect Mirren’s mental health.

“Did you wait?”

“Yes, brother.”

“…”

Irelfi kept his mouth shut with a hard face. Her mental state is completely unpredictable.

“Irlp?”

“… Why?”

“I just want you to look uncomfortable.”

“Not really.”

“No, no matter who sees you, you’re angry.”

“So no…!”

“aaa!!!”

It was at the height of Q&A with Illelpy. She screamed with an expression that she would die of frustration with Mirren caught between the two.

She came to Mirren’s eccentricities that she had never seen or remembered before, and Elfi looked at Mirren with her dumbfounded face.

“It’s as frustrating as eating a handful of real sweet potatoes. What are you two doing?”

“Mirren…”

“No I just…”

“Kooo! Sweet potato cut! I’ll clean it up.”

Mirren snared at the Irlp with a clearly irritated expression.

“Elfi sister. Why are you lying unnecessarily? You’re in a bad mood! Can’t we just talk? Are you saying that if you hold back, you’re afraid someone will read your heart and comfort you like a ghost? Even His Majesty the first emperor Can’t do that!”

“Wow…”

Mirren next slashed her eyes at me like an axe.

“Neffi oppa is also an older brother. You are referring to the soul of the other side that has been dyed black, right?”

I answered puzzledly.

“Huh? Yeah. Right.”

Then Mirren pats her on the chest and drives her away in indignation.

“Oh hey! Seriously. Why does Nefi omitting the subject needlessly and causing misunderstandings? The expression is also subtle and ambiguous! If you make a play like that these days, you’ll get scolded!”

“Mi, I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry, unnie too, Mirren…”

In response to Mirren’s fierce momentum, I and ELP’s apologies followed.

“Are you sorry for me? Why are you saying you’re sorry only for me?”

“Big.”

“Ugh.”

“Neffi oppa is also an older brother, but Elfi really seems to be more stupid than before I fell asleep. Oh, that doesn’t mean Nefi is better.”

“…”

“…”

We couldn’t help but be stunned at the feast of Mirren’s right words that left her speechless.

Glance.

IrLP and my gaze met like a strabismus.

I couldn’t stand Mirren’s glittering gold and opened her mouth.

“…Sorry for misunderstanding.”

“… No. I feel bad about this too. I’m sorry.”

“In the first place, Nefi’s brother stayed with her sister all day before. Besides, her sister didn’t go out after coming back to our house, so she was even nicknamed the

Knit Aristocrat in the social world. Who are you going to do it with?”

“That’s… Mirren is right.”

“Eh? Did I get that nickname?”

I feel quite ashamed of the existence of a very realistic nickname.

On the other hand, Ir Elfi keeps glancing at me with her eyes, feeling her guilt.

‘What are we really doing…’

I couldn’t afford to pass the time awkwardly like this. I awkwardly held out my hand to Ir Elfi and said.

“Keuheum. Let’s pretend that there is nothing because each other has faults.”

“Okay, ok. Thanks Neffi.”

“What will my sister and brother do without me? If this happens, they won’t be able to get married and will stick together.”

“Ha?”

“What?”

What kind of house… A book of poetry? Are you sure I’m not wrong about what I’ve heard?

Is the mansion where people live these days a house of marriage? Or a booklet of poems?

At Mirren’s bombshell remarks, our astonished eyes gathered around her.

“Mirren? A wedding?”

“The book of poetry? Who? Our Mirren?”

To our reaction full of question marks, Mirren gave an easy answer.

“What’s strange? It’s because I’m asleep. I’m actually 22 years old. Even if I say 14, I’ll be at an age when I’ll find out a marriage partner in three or four years.”

“That… Thing.”

“That’s right, but…”

In order, it was the response of me and Irelp.

At Mirren’s sharp words, we were all shocked as if we had been hit by a stone.

As I was endlessly craving empty space with a devastated expression on my face, I managed to come up with a brilliant idea.

“Yes… I guess Mirren should get married too.”

“Neffi?”

“But!

“Conditions? These are few for Nefi’s older brother… What are they?”

Mirren asked, tilting her head. I smile and declare confidently.

“First, I’ll be able to beat Ir Elfi in sparring. I’ll be strong enough to protect Mirren!”

I should be at least the strongest person in the world.

“Brother Nefi?”

I ignored Mirren’s narrowing eyes and continued her words.

“Second, she should live longer than me. She should be able to take care of Mirren without me.”

About 500 years?

“That’s nice, Nefi!”

Ir Elfi readily agreed, exuding her bright colors. She was so bright that she even clapped her hands cheerfully.

Of course, Mirren had the exact opposite reaction.

“What’s good?! Brother and sister, what nonsense are you talking about! Can’t I love you too?”

“Ugh, the head of the Justiha family agrees. What kind of recklessness is this, Mirren?”

“Yes, Mirren. I am the head of household.”

“Uh… Uh…! Only when the two of them get along well…!”

Mirren looks up at us with tears in her eyes.

Usually, I would go into pampered mode and allow anything, but this time it was impossible.

Mmm! If it’s not enough, I’ll have to assert the authority of the nobility of the country.

Around the time when the three of them were in the middle of a squabble.

A thick voice from behind grabbed us.

“Oh, I thought it was a familiar back figure, but it must have been the leader of Justiha.”

“Who?”

Turb. Turbuck.

Lights were brightly lit on the darkening streets. Thanks to this, the human figure approaching this place quickly took on a concrete reality.

As the owner of the voice became more and more clear, I had no choice but to mutter to myself in a panic.

“Ha! Does this make sense?”

I looked at the man rubbing my eyes four or five times, despite the fact that I was a Netion Peace body that couldn’t be wrong.

For him who is biologically and physically impossible to exist here…

He was a man whose strength seemed to touch his skin.

The owner of a body so large that even with the height of Netion Piece, which he prides himself on being quite large, he would have to bend his head.

The deposited traces of training led us to guess his strong muscle strength and agile body lengthening.

Brown hair fluttering like ripe ears of rice enhances the man’s vitality.

I blankly muttered his name.

“Battlante Chester…”

The center of a story of militant heroism handed down orally for over 500 years.

A piece of the first head family that exists in the image world of Netion Peace.

The appearance of a man who couldn’t exist in this world was there.
