I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country

58 – Beyond the Mountain, the Mountain of Chaos

I had a lot of conversations with Irelp. It was a true language, not the dregs of words swayed by a peculiar instinct.

It was fun to see the Ir-Elpy gradually shrinking every time he talked about a sad situation. Although, of course, she quickly quit because her smile suits her.

As if to bless the new fork in the road that was finally won, His Holiness shimmering beautifully illuminated the night road. No, to be honest, I have seen many moonlit nights like this since I fell in this world.

However, I can say for sure that the most beautiful starry sky is embroidered at this moment.

IRLP. Because you are by my side It’s because I’m in contact with you at this close distance.

We joined hands. It was weak but tightly closed to make a hook and put on a pod. Just those actions filled my heart, and even without words, emotions came and went.

She says while hiding her pitiful, watery eyes.

“Neffi.”

“Yes.”

“I’m scared.”

“What?”

“…”

“Irlp?”

Ir Elfi’s pale pink lips curled up and wrinkled her. Beyond her troubles, she is embarrassed that even her fear leaks out.

“Couldn’t it be that the scam has already started!?”

“No! No, Nefi!”

“Whew, what a surprise. What is it for?”

“That’s it… First of all, all the memories of me, the past… No, the future remain.”

“Mmm.”

“How should I treat the emperor, empress, or Charles when I return… I’ve always hated the empress, but I’m even more uncomfortable…”

“You said you hated the empress in the first place? No, I’ll hear the reason later… I’m sure I’ll be disturbed too. Should I rather go report it alone?”

“No. I think you have to face it properly. Nefi, please just stay by my side.”

Illi Elfie leans on her weight as light as a feather. She has the urge to hug her tight right now and fill her whole body with elphi.

My first girlfriend… Can I go a little further and call her a lover? She was precious and thrilling, and she didn’t want to be separated from her even for a second.

When her thoughts reached that point, a sudden question flashed through her mind like a thunderbolt.

‘Oh, what? It’s okay that we’re dating now, right? It’s the 1st from today, isn’t it…?’

It was settled in a good atmosphere, but there was no answer to the long-standing confession?! How to say, I remember that there was no definitive verbal expression on the ERP side!!!

Should I… Check this? Even asking is out of shape.

‘No no. Let’s calm down. You said I also loved Illelfie. Isn’t that what happened? But maybe it’s just a narrative trick. I love you, but not yet? That’s right That I’m an ellp. We don’t even go out together, but isn’t that the That Elf I slept with in the same bed?!’

Couldn’t it be that the confession of a lifetime flew vaguely? I have such an ominous feeling.

She twists her head forcibly, creaking like a rusty mannequin. Then, the top of the head of Ir Elfie, who was walking with her right arm in her arms affectionately, came into her field of vision.

I floated the rhyme carefully.

“Irelp.”

“Neffi?”

“I like you. Seriously.”

“Me, me, me too. Nefi…”

“That’s why.”

“Yes?”

“What about us… Now?”

I asked with a face rising like a working furnace. I didn’t have the confidence to meet Ir Elfi’s gaze, so I avoided her eyes.

Until the body close to the cold weather senses the chillingly cool air.

“…… Huh?”

She asked after leaving a gap for a long time. I don’t know why, but I had an intuition that even if I was wrong, I was firmly wrong.

Afterward, she questioned me with clear vocalizations.

“What, what, do you mean, Nefi?”

“Hmm? Now, in case you don’t know, we should discuss how things are between us… Ahh!?”

At that time. The sound of her chicken bones breaking came out as Elfie groaned at her right arm that was hugging her. Because of her keen senses, while she was in excruciating pain, she pressed her straight face.

The focus disappears, and the eyes die like dynamics, creating an eerie impression.

“Nepee… Nefi. Nefi. Nefi. No way. After you said that. You even acted like that. Did you mean to treat me like you used to?”

“Doesn’t it feel… Er Elf?!”

“I can’t do it. I have to take responsibility. I can’t do without Nefi now. I believed in Nefi. I had hope that Nefi’s life would be mine. Am I mistaken? Tell me, yes? Nefi!”

“Wait a minute! Oh must I elf! More than that, you’re cheating! Calm down, please!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

Irlp calms down with a deep breath in response to a desperate appeal. Fortunately, the fraud quickly disappeared from her, and she returned to her normal self.

“First of all, I’ll apologize for the misleading remarks, Irlp.”

“I’ll take it. So, what did you mean by that statement?”

“I’m afraid I won’t sound ridiculous… We like each other now, right?”

“You say that now?”

“Ugh. Well, then. Are we dating now…? We’re supposed to be lovers, right?”

“Yeah, it’s embarrassing to hear it directly. So, isn’t it?”

At the moment Ir Elfi’s eyes are about to become ferocious like blades, I do my best to shake her hand and explain.

“No! You are all right. You are absolutely right, Irelpi!”

“Whoops. Of course. Of course you should. You know what will happen if you don’t.”

‘… You’re not infected with fraud, are you? Right? Isn’t that right…? Our LLP has changed…’

Hmm!

I evoke the threatening atmosphere by clearing my throat. His arms, which seemed to be pressed by iron, were now as soft and gentle as cotton wool. It’s good though. I feel like I’ve been trained, but how is it?

“Then, of course… I should report it.”

“See?”

“To Mirren. We’ve been together all this time, and if we say that we’ve had a relationship like this, Mirren might be shocked too…”

Eir Elfi seemed to agree with me, and a shadow fell on her face.

“That’s right. You will definitely see it as strange. My heart knew it long ago, but I never dreamed that we would end up like this. My image is far from that of a lover.”

“Haa…”

It took a while for me to sigh anxiously. Another trouble came to me urgently and sounded the alarm.

“Irelp. There is one bigger thing than that.”

“What is it?”

“I went out to fight you, Mirren knows. I sent it in the mail.”

“What, what?! Why did you bother with Mirren?”

“No, that’s right, you might really die. You should leave a note in order. Because there’s such a thing as just in case…”

“Ugh. In conclusion, it’s my karma. Phew! …… But it’s not the right time! Hurry up and go to Eldrian. Hurry up!”

“Ahhhhh! Let’s go!”

IrLP who unfastens his arms and speeds up without any regrets. I follow her, keeping her sprint just in case she gets lost.

The scenery that stretches like a solid line puts my excited emotions to the fullest. Even though he constantly abused his legs, he had no choice but to admit it.

‘Even if the relationship is different, IrLP is still just IrLP.’

It was absurdly like us to not be able to find the romantic part even in the most reversed relationship.

If it’s fate, I’ll accept this too…

A little disheartened, I felt this way.

◇

The time when the sun has not risen yet. The feathery clouds are sparsely colored in the indigo blue of dawn, sending a fresh breeze down.

Our sprint is truly an outsider’s realm, so we arrived at Eldrian in less than half a day.

Me too, Ir Elfi too, passed saliva with a dry throat in front of Chester’s manor, which finally arrived.

It was difficult because I couldn’t figure out what to say first.

‘Your sister subjugation went well…? Or is it the 1st day from today? No no no Am I going crazy with fraud?’

“Neffi…”

Ir Elfido turned her head to me without a word, as if she was still at a loss for words. However, there was no way that I could be sharp.

Maedo I only took one step toward the manor with the feeling that it would be better to be hit first. At a time like this, if there was even the blood of Siegharun’s spirit, he would deflect the hawk.

…What am I thinking? As the situation became extreme in a different sense, I sat with my strange imagination inflated.

Our only option was to harden our hearts and leave our mark as Chester’s mansion.

Kikii Iik…

The door to the garden is so rusted that the sound of opening it is bleak. After passing through the garden, what you see is the entrance of the mansion. It was a shabby and narrow building for a duke.

Just then, the voice of a girl we were so afraid of broke through the darkness of the early dawn.

“Elfie sister… Nefi brother…”

“Whoops!”

“Suck.”

On the steps in front of the gate, Mirren was sitting alone. Her frowning face and gleaming golden eyes made me guess her condition.

“Mirren…”

“Oh, um, how are you? Mire…”

The moment you want to ask for a sad regards. My words couldn’t follow. Because I saw Mirren jumping up and running with all her might.

At first, I thought it would lead to a touching reunion in which my sister was imprisoned. Isn’t that a cliché based on atmosphere?

It wasn’t until I realized that Mirren’s speed was unusual that I corrected her misunderstanding.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

I witnessed it. The bloody pain that landed on Mirren’s face. The anger before and after the ballot burned hotly and covered her whole body.

Immediately after that, her body floated in the air, releasing tremendous kinetic energy.

“Mireee friend friend, friend, friend, friend, friend!”

A single-pointed blow. A kick aiming precisely at the center of Irelpi rises under the dawn sky!

I know the identity of this famous kick.

“Heh, Hectopascal Kick!?”

Chwaaa!

Instinctively defending, the footsteps of the Irelph dug a deep furrow in the ground and dragged a considerable distance. While questioning Mirren’s mysterious physical abilities, she opens her mouth wide at her suspicious behavior.

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

“Mirren…?”

It is a bizarre scene where the hit IrLP is fine, but only Mirren breathes heavily.

Landing safely, Mirren was trembling as she laid on her knees. Her vibrations around her body transmit her anger and fear. But Mirren’s true feelings in the face of bare ground…

“With this… I’ll forgive you. Stupid sister. Really stupid. Really stupid. Really, really, really…!”

“Mirren…”

“Huh, huh… Well, well back. Elfi sister… aaa!”

Worry and longing. Or it was a pleasure.

Mirren slumps down in her seat, forgetting about her face. As she draws water from the fountain of eternal water from the fountain of gold, she pours out beads of tears.

Ir Elfi hesitated for a moment, then gently hugged her sister with her glowing eyes. At the reunion of her white sister, the tip of her nose grows cold without me knowing.

On the other hand, I was puzzled by Mirren’s condition, crying and making a fuss in the arms of Ir Elfi. I couldn’t inadvertently intervene between the two, and I couldn’t afford to call her attention.

By the time it became a third party and a sack of barley borrowed, Mirren stopped coddling her like an adult and stared at her.

“Brother Nefi.”

“Yes, Mirren.”

“Thank you. I think you went through a lot because of my stupid sister.”

“Meot!”

At Mirren’s sharp scolding, Elfie’s transparent cheeks turned red like the tears in her eyes.

“This is enough for Mirren.”

“No. I feel shameless and sorry that I always seem to only receive from Nefi oppa.”

“Not at all!”

“…So that’s why. Neffy. I think I have one thing I can give you.”

“Hmm? I’m fine…”

Mirren’s expression still had a cry that hadn’t gone away. Even as tears trickled down her cheeks, she stood firm.

Despite my objection, Mirren’s lips opened with a sweet smile.

“It’s okay if it’s Nefi oppa. I’ll give you our Elfi unnie. Even if I die because of my older sister’s personality, I wouldn’t be honest anyway, but I actually liked my oppa. So, I’d rather speak for you. But what?”

“… Ah.”

“…Well.”

“Brother Nefi? Sister Elfie?”

In response to our lukewarm response, Mirren’s eyes brightened. I’m sure I would have assumed that I would be very embarrassed or that Elfi would yell at her because she was shy.

I don’t seem to mind the assumption that it’s already a step too late.

“Mirren…”

“That’s it…”

Illelpy held my hand with an awkward expression. I also caught her with her face reminded of her embarrassing mind for no reason.

“That’s for us from today. So… That’s it.”

“Uh, yes. That’s Mirren. That… You know? That’s it.”

“Brother Nefi…? Sister Elfi…?”

Miren’s golden eyes flicked around in confusion. Her head tilts repeatedly in both directions as she stares at us.

It was when we were scratching the nape of our necks with embarrassing expressions.

A rustling sound came from behind, and a cheerful, manly voice shook the early morning.

“You two there! As of today, they are married! Now they are lovers! Why don’t you proudly tell your family about such a happy occasion?”

“Little Duke!”

The owner of the voice was Bartlante. Assuming the situation, it seemed that he was finally stopping by the mansion after finishing his report to the imperial palace.

Mirren covered her mouth with her hands, but she couldn’t hide her dismay.

“Brother Nefi and sister Elfi…? Finally…?”

“Yes, the Little Duke is right.”

“It’s true, Mirren.”

Miren’s eyes twisted strangely after hearing our confirmation. She trembled in her legs and began muttering her incomprehensible words to herself.

“It’s been a long time… It’s been a long time. The day will come when my efforts will eventually be rewarded…”

Mirren’s hand that had covered her mouth spread all over her face before she knew it. Although she couldn’t see in detail, her bright joy was clearly conveyed.

Looking back at her, Bartlante put her hand on her chin and looked over Mirren’s shoulder. She was staring at the gate of the mansion. He scolded someone on the other side of the gate as if he were clairvoyant.

“But… Arnel? It’s good that you didn’t leave the young lady alone, but it’s not good to overhear. Come out here.”

After Bartlante’s solemn scolding, the gate slid open, revealing a boy peeking out.

Arnel Chester. He was one of Chester’s twin siblings who flirted with Mirren.

“I’m sorry, brother. And I apologize to Marquis Justiha and Arteon.”

“Arnel did nothing wrong! Did I ask for everything?”

“Is that so? I’m glad it didn’t cause any trouble.”

I wondered if the situation was being sorted out in such a cool way. But we had to grapple with the coming chaos again.

“Get out of the way!”

Quang!

A girl bursts out like a darting arrow by kicking her door. The girl glared at her eyes, which were wet like her furrows on a rainy day.

Enella Chester. As Arnell’s twin sister, she was a young girl with a somewhat condescending temper.

“Brother Nefi. Really? Did you really… Have a crush?”

Enella appeals as an ordinary girl, as if she didn’t have the confidence to maintain her elegant tone while crying.

I silently nod my head.

“Ughhhhh! This is nonsensical…That can’t be…”

A fog gathers in the green eyes. Soon after, tears poured down like pouring rain. The grievous figure of the girl remained with the magical power that naturally aroused sympathy.

It was a time when I couldn’t do anything because I was flustered. Enella sniffed and wiped her tears three or four times before she turned around and jumped into her mansion.

“It was my first love eee!!!”

Kudang-dang-dang-dang!!!

“…”

My mind is confused.

Until now, I fought a fierce battle with Illerpy, confessed again, talked about this and that, and met Mirren. Finally, unwillingly, until Enella became her first love partner…

‘That’s right. This is my daily life.’

The days when sloth and chaos coexist are the essence of me who fell into this world.

I closed my eyes, bent my head, and raised my head up to the blue, dawning sky.

I could feel IrLP’s thin fingers through the gaps between my hands.

I was moved by the reality that I was holding her proudly, even though I was late entering her mansion.

It was around the time when she was holding back the feeling of wanting to hum.

Suddenly, Bartlante asked casually.

“By the way, when are you two going to get married?”
