Bullied but Popular

Chapter 56

56 – I want to go home

Upon receiving the elixir, Cecilia immediately opened the lid and approached Luna.

“Luna, try this.”

“what?”

“It’s medicine.”

“……”

As Cecilia supported her head, Luna stood up slightly and began to drink the elixir.

“Gulp gulp… Ugh~ What is this?”

‘Isn’t the Elixir tasteless?’

When Luna groaned as if it were not delicious, Aren observed her energy as if it were strange.

‘… Elixir is amazing.’

Aren, who was watching Luna’s physical condition on the shore, was able to see the phenomenon happening in her directly.

thumping

“Uh… uh huh?”

“Luna!”

Suddenly, a strange sound came from her body, and Luna flinched as if embarrassed, and Duke Hamel saw her change and threw the high priest’s crown and approached her.

“What did you eat?”

“Elixir.”

“…is it real?”

“yes.”

At Cecilia’s words, Duke Hamel silently watched Luna’s condition.

After a while, Luna’s empty eyes regained vitality, and her eyes met Cecilia’s.

“… Lia?”

“… Yes.”

Watching Luna’s reaction, Duke Hamel immediately intervened and met her eyes.

“Luna!”

“Brother…”

After confirming that Luna’s eyes were looking at him accurately, Duke Hamel let out an exclamation of joy and said,

“Luna! You can see me!”

“Uhhhhh”

Realizing that her eyesight had returned, Luna eventually began to shed tears of joy.

“Lee, Lia… older brother…”

“Luna.”

tight

At Luna’s trembling voice, Cecilia quietly hugged her.

On top of that, Duke Hamel embraced the two of them and began to shed tears of joy.

“Keuuh… The lady finally…”

“hahahaha!”

“Huh… Congratulations, Duke! Lady!”

‘Is it a sea of tears?’

Aren seriously contemplated whether he should cry as everyone except him started crying.

The wide open door behind the weeping knights just as Aren’s sleeves are about to go up to his eyes.

‘Can I leave quietly?’

Mohammed moved silently and went out of the door and closed it quietly.

“Phew, I thought I had to cry too.”

“I see? Everyone must have lost their tear ducts.”

“Kyaa yup!”

Seeing Frey suddenly appearing beside him, Aren reflexively tried to scream, only to be stopped by her hand.

“Does my sister have a pretty screaming sound?”

“… oops oops.”

Aren tapped Frey’s hand as if to ask her to remove it, and she lowered it and said amusedly.

“I didn’t know you really had an elixir~”

“Huh? Didn’t you tell your sister?”

“this…”

Kkwaak

“evil.”

Frey, furious at Aren’s words, walked the headlock.

“Yeah~ I didn’t tell you~ Why do you always bully your sister?”

“Th-that’s not it, forget it… is it soft?”

Aren felt something soft and concentrated all his nerves on his head when Frey untied the headlock.

“Well, I’ll be generous this time, because Luna’s curse has been lifted thanks to you, and the problem has been solved.”

“But why did you come out?”

“Why? Cry too?”

“It’s not like that, aren’t you friends with Lady Luna?”

At Aren’s question, Frey smiled and said,

“We’ve known each other since we were young, but we’re not close.”

“Are you my sister? That’s surprising.”

“Isn’t it? I’m a bit friendly.”

“But why aren’t you friends?”

“The personality doesn’t match. I’m bright and cute, but he’s hard and boring.”

‘Are you talking about your personality?’

When Aren was questioned, a woman who appeared to be a maid came up to the two and said,

“Princess Aren, I have prepared a room for you. May I guide you?”

“Um~ What should I do? Shall we go get something to eat?”

At Frey’s question, Aren looked out the window for a moment and then looked at Frey again and said,

“Sister, by any chance, how much mana do you have left?”

“Of course it’s full, I’m a genius, so even if I take a little rest, my mana will come back on its own.”

“… I think I like her confidence.”

“Oops! A sudden confession?”

When Frey tried to joke again, Aren immediately got to the point.

“Sister, please take me to Bolridge.”

“… huh?”

“Take me to Bolridge.”

“now?”

“yes.”

When he asked for a strange request at a strange timing, even Frey asked Aren as if he did not understand this time.

“Why are you trying to go back right now? Lia and Duke Hamel will come out in a little while, so I have to tear something out.”

“The kids are waiting.”

“Kids? Lay Rachel?”

“yes.”

Hearing Aren’s words, Frey said as if he was dumbfounded.

“Didn’t you leave it to Lirina? Besides, there’s also a principal in Bollywood.”

“I’m trying to take responsibility because they’re the kids I’m supposed to be in charge of. It’s okay, so take me with you.”

‘He’s not normal either.’

Just looking at what Aren did to the Duke of Nerestia now, it was by no means light.

Honestly, if Aren hadn’t been here, Luna would never have survived.

But this guy said he would be responsible for the children he picked up a while ago and left the reward money behind.

Frey looked at Aren curiously for a moment and then said.

“Aren.”

“yes?”

“Who are you going to marry?”

“… suddenly?”

“huh.”

This time, Aren made a stupid face at Frey’s stupid question and said.

“I don’t know.”

“What about Tia?”

“He’s breaking up.”

“Then will you marry my sister?”

“…Propose again?”

“Puha!”

Frey burst into laughter at Aren’s unexpected remark.

“Puck-cuck-cuck.”

“There’s also a maid here, so don’t you spread strange rumors?”

When Aren pointed to the maid standing on one side with a hard expression on her face, Frey struggled to suppress a laugh and turned to the maid.

“What did you hear?”

“Oh no!”

“Yeah, did you remember the face?”

“yes yes!”

Frightened by Frey’s smile, the maid went white and stuttered.

“Stop teasing me and take me away. I’m supposed to watch Rai’s training tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay~”

Aren and Frey left the duchy without a word while the sea of tears was going on in the Duchy of Nerestia.

***

“brother!”

“I’m gone.”

After asking Frey, Aren immediately returned to Borage and moved to the annex prepared by Principal Tristan.

And I was able to reunite with Rai and Rachel who were playing in the yard right in front of the annex.

“Aren, welcome.”

“Are you here?”

In the annex, Lirina and Tia were also walking together.

“Yeah, thanks for taking care of the kids, you two.”

“What’s more than that?”

Tia chewed on Aren’s thanks and immediately asked about what had happened in the duke’s family.

“It’s a little too much to talk about here, let’s go inside.”

“okay.”

At Aren’s words, the party went back into the annex.

“Keuuu the house should be like this.”

“… isn’t that a bit strange?”

Aren’s annex is entered after taking off your shoes.

Aren always felt uncomfortable because he was wearing shoes even at home here.

However, since you can decorate it however you want here, Aren immediately called a blacksmith and changed the house to what he wanted.

“Why? It’s just comfortable. Rae Rachel, are you uncomfortable?”

“no.”

dori dori

Hearing Rai and Rachel’s answers, Aren looked at Tia and said, “What about Aren?”

“Are the landlords comfortable?”

“… okay.”

At that time, Lirina, who was in the kitchen, spoke to Aren.

“Aren, would you like to eat first? I was just getting ready.”

“Ah, so will it?”

Aren immediately got up and went into the kitchen.

“Oh, please put that food on this plate.”

“Yes, Lirina, is this sauce?”

“Yes, here’s the bread…”

‘What are those things?’

Tia glared at the two preparing food in the kitchen.

‘They’re playing very newlyweds.’

Just as Tia was staring at the two of them, Rai spoke up.

“sister.”

“huh?”

“Are you marrying your older brother?”

“…why do you keep asking about that?”

As Tia’s eyes sharpened, Rai flinched and said.

“That, that… There are only older sisters around you, so…”

“Is that… Really?”

Aren was an outcast at the academy.

But it was only for the same year students and there were only women around here.

‘Aside from me, my older sister Frey sister, Lilina the Britannia emperor? Shouldn’t the emperor be removed?’

While Tia was absorbed in useless thoughts, the meal was ready.

“What are you doing? Sit down.”

“Huh? Uh uh.”

At Aren’s call, Tia approached the table and sat down.

“Okay then, enjoy your meal…”

At that moment, the front door opened violently and the archmage appeared.

Taang! jump

“The Princess Appears!”

“Open gently, sit here.”

“Yep.”

It was Frey who came late to report to Principal Tristan what had happened at the duchy.

After confirming that Frey was sitting at the table, Aren greeted the meal first.

“Now then, enjoy your meal.”

Rai and Rachel follow Aren’s words.

“Enjoy it.”

“Geuk keu ~ well done.”

Aren stroked the heads of the two children as if they were cute and started eating.

clatter clatter

“I’ll cut Rachel’s meat, so give it to me.”

nod

“Would you like me to slice the rais too?”

“… Hyung, I’m not like that.”

“Hey, how are you?”

‘… looks good.’

Tia watched for a moment as Aren and his two children ate.

At first, I doubted if this guy was sane because he raised children, but Aren was surprisingly good at taking care of children.

On the contrary, he seemed more alive now than he had been in Borridge.

In addition, I felt that the children also depended on Aren.

Rachel approached Aren as if she was going to receive the affection she hadn’t received in the past, and Rai could see that she was relying on Aren without realizing it.

‘He’s such a strange guy…’

Tia, who had been observing Aren for a while, said as if she had suddenly remembered.

“Ah! Hey, what happened at the duke’s house?”

“Huh? Aren hasn’t told you yet?”

At Tia’s words, Frey looked at Aren and said.

But Aren was in no position to answer.

“I’ll just cut this up and tell you.”

“… Sister Frey explains.”

“I can’t be excited, listen carefully!

While Aren cut the meat, Frey started talking nonsense about what had happened at the Duke’s house.

After a while, Tia and Lirina, who had listened to Frey’s explanation, looked at Aare in shock.

“So, did you really treat Luna?”

“I didn’t do it, I only unlocked the gift and the high priest did the rest.”

“That or that!”

While Tia was surprised, Lirina thought of something and looked at Aren and said,

“But why did that High Human do such a thing?”

“What are you asking about?”

Frey spoke coldly at Lirina’s question.

In response, Lirina’s body moved slightly, and Aren looked at Frey and said.

From noble mtl dot com

“Why are you bothering Lirina?”

“No, did you just say that?”

“Really? Anyway, I don’t know the purpose, but I’m sure who sent it.”

Dark Priest.

The one who scorned the Duke of Nerestia five years ago and cursed Luna.

I don’t know his exact purpose, but the Dark Priest who sent the High Human will be hit with a high probability.

After thinking for a while, Aren immediately said in annoyance.

“I’m guessing here, but I don’t know the exact situation. Let’s eat.”

I don’t know the true purpose of the Dark Priest, but somehow the curse was successful.

That’s all Aren can do, and I didn’t want to care about that anymore.

At that time, there was a child pulling Aren’s sleeve.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“Then, is Luna-sister okay now?”

“Ah~ then! You don’t have to worry because everything is better.”

“Phew, I’m glad.”

After listening to Aren’s story, Rachel let out a small sigh of relief, perhaps feeling relieved.

A father’s smile spread across Aren’s lips at that cute appearance.

“Hey~ Why are you so cute!”

“Wow.”

Aren hugged Rachel and rubbed his face against Rachel’s head.

“This cute guy~ He’s so cute~”

“Curry!”

‘Okay, I’m dying.’

The women in the room looked at Aren as if they were curious.

It’s because it’s the first time I’ve ever seen Aren like this.

“Come on! Let’s get the meat~”

“Ah~ mumbling.”

“delicious?”

nodding

‘What’s wrong?’

The expressions of the women become more and more strange as Aren’s expression of affection becomes more and more intense.

“Lilina, have your cooking skills changed?”

“… Has it changed…? Khehehe! It’s because there are so many ingredients I’ve never seen before, and what we have here is our country’s cuisine… Do you like it?”

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

Lirina’s face slightly turns red at Aren’s praise.

‘They’re trembling!’

Tia, who was watching this, only felt worse and worse.

tuk tuk

“huh?”

Just then, Frey approached Tia and slapped her on the shoulder.

“Huh-huh, it’s Tina~”

“… what?”

“I can tell you what you’re thinking~”

“… what?”

“Whoop whoop.”
