I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

73 – External practice (2)

It was Elaine.

Everyone was sitting in one seat at a time, but before I knew it, she moved to the seat next to me and was looking up at me.

He seems to be hesitating after he comes and wants me to say something.

No, it was because Ji was upset.

“What is going on?”

“ah… That… .”

When he said it deliberately, as expected, Elaine started to panic.

Her blue eyes shimmered as if they contained the blue sea.

Elaine, who had been holding the hem of my uniform with her little fingers for a while, opened her mouth slowly as if she had made up her mind.

“… Sin, I’m sorry.”

I could hear Elaine clearly between the wheels of the carriage and the occasional breath of horses.

It was a creeping voice, but I definitely heard it.

Elaine’s eyes were moist as if she was about to cry, and the hand holding my jacket was trembling slightly.

Should I be kidding about this?

A kid like Elaine isn’t a kid who gets angry for no reason.

Clearly I must have made a mistake.

“Whoa.”

As she rested her chin on her chin and looked outside, Elaine’s shaking head raised her hand.

“It’s okay.”

Then, he slowly ran his silky white hair through it.

Elaine closed her eyes and silently accepted my hand stroking her hair.

It’s like petting a dog because it’s like this.

“So what are you upset about?”

“… sorry.”

“No, I have to tell you why.”

“I can’t speak… .”

“Did I do anything wrong?”

“Oh no! The Count didn’t do anything wrong… .”

‘So what?’

Elaine kept her head bowed in a stooped posture, shaking her head from side to side.

‘Is it fortunate though?’

At least he said it wasn’t my fault, and looking at his attitude, it seems that his affinity for me hasn’t diminished.

Did you just have a bad dream?

Even if you are always a bright person, it is difficult unless you are a robot that shows the same appearance every day.

Maybe Elaine is like that too. Besides, he’s still a 17-year-old kid.

rattle-

Elaine, the white-haired girl, was in deep regret.

‘To be angry with the Count… .’

I was sulking and angry at will.

No matter where Rian went, there was no reason to ask permission from her, who never entered the dormitory.

He had no reason to be mean to Lian just because he stayed out.

‘Why did you do that, really!’

It was the result of an emotional response.

I was upset just because Lian didn’t arrive.

What were you angry about?

that you abandoned yourself?

Not putting yourself first?

Or that it smelled different than usual?

‘In addition!’

Feeling something wriggling in her heart again, Elaine shook her head wildly.

Recently, his condition has been strange.

Normally, I was okay, but whenever I got involved with Lian, I felt like someone was running through my heart.

Even so, when I see Lian again, a strangely warm and cozy wind blows, and my messy mind calms down.

As a 17-year-old girl experiencing a swinging mind for the first time, it is difficult to clearly define her condition.

I don’t know how long this difficulty will last, but at least it will continue for now.

She opened her eyes and looked at Lian, who was sitting next to her.

Lian’s black eyes, calmly looking outside with her chin resting on her chin, made the viewer feel calm.

It was a carriage spacious enough for each person to have their own seat, but Elaine chose to sit next to Lian rather than hers.

It was a choice that was thoroughly driven by her own greed, but Lian did not reject her or show dislike.

“… .”

Even now, Reina is staring at Elaine disapprovingly from afar, but she is not in a position to say anything.

That’s also true, because Raina and Rian are no longer engaged.

So, no matter what Elaine clung to Lian or what she did, there was no reason for Reina to stop it.

Elaine herself was aware of this, so she was more aggressive towards Lian.

“Oh, that’s a pretty wide plain.”

The parties did not appear to be

“Have you ever been anywhere, Count?”

That’s why Elaine kept asking non-trivial questions.

To steal his gaze even a little bit.

“Well? no. It’s the first time I’ve been out this far.”

“Well, then I will guide you!”

“Are you the first one too?”

since when

It made me feel so full in my chest.

“or not! When you arrive, take a look around the town… .”

“Then you get lost.”

“That’s not it… .”

At some point, old thoughts started not coming to my mind.

No, it should be said that he started not dwelling on old memories.

For Elaine, who has lived in the dark all her life, meeting Lian was like a ray of light.

It was because he was the one who took her away from the shadow of the church that followed like her shadow.

It wasn’t a complete breakup, but strangely, when I was next to Lian, I didn’t have any worries.

Is this what warms the heart?

It was good no matter what the surrounding gaze was. If only I could just look at it from the side like this.

Long-distance travel in the game world was not as great as I thought.

At first, I liked the wide plains and dense forests that I couldn’t see in Korea because they were quite tasteful, but since only the same terrain appeared for several hours, I only remember sleeping afterward.

“Ugh.”

I got off the carriage and stretched my arms up.

From the tips of my toes to my waist and spine, the muscles that were clumped together all at once loosened up and made a popping noise.

The first impression of Belgrove, which took three hours to arrive, was just the countryside.

It is a country atmosphere common in fantasy worlds where the air is good, the wind is good, and golden rice and various crops are spread around.

“It’s quiet.”

“Isn’t there at least one person in the original?”

“This is a stop. If you go to the entrance of the village, one will probably come out.”

It is really only a mountain.

Belgrove was located some distance from the carriage stop.

A few minutes to follow the signs on the dirt road through the woods next to the bus stop.

Wide plains and golden crops everywhere.

It is a small village where shacks are clustered together.

Belgrove was a smaller town than I thought.

‘No, a village like this manages so many crops?’

In the modern era, farming methods and machinery have developed, so one farmhouse can take care of many fields, but this is a fantasy world view.

In a country like this, there wouldn’t be any proper equipment, let alone magic, but somehow her belly button was bigger than her stomach.

Of course, I can handle it, so I’m sure it’s been this way, but I can’t imagine it.

Hans next to me must have had the same thought as me, looking around the length of the field and looking surprised at the size of the huge field.

“It’s huge.”

“yes. It’s like being in a cornfield.”

“corner?”

“… It is nothing.”

‘Is there no corn here?’

It wasn’t ordinary rice, and the crops that grew over my head looked like modern maize.

If I get a chance later, I’ll ask him to take care of it.

“Ahh! welcome! Are you the academy people?”

As we approached the entrance of the village, a man with a good impression approached us with a smile.

Maybe she just came back from work, and there are dust and dirt on her clothes here and there.

“This is Reina. It came from the Phrygian Academy.”

“Raina… okay. Those of you on this side… ?”

“From here on, Hans, Elaine, Hilda and… .”

“This is Rihanna.”

“okay. First of all, we will take you to the town hall. Our chief will be waiting for you.”

No matter how noble he may be, as long as he attends the academy, he must not use his rank as a weapon.

This is also what Adelie said at the entrance ceremony.

That’s why everyone in the academy was able to become friends with the position of equal students.

The same was true for outdoor practice.

We are just students of the academy as long as we are out of practice. Being the offspring of a nobleman and belonging to a promising family, this is just a name tag.

In order to carry out the task, the name of nobility had to be put aside for a while.

That’s why Reina didn’t mention her family name when she introduced herself.

“How do you manage such a large field anyway? I can’t even see the right machine.”

“hahahaha. Even so, our villagers are quite competent. I’ll say hello to the village chief and then I’ll explain it to you.”

The inside of the village was different from what it looked like from the outside.

I admired the colorful flowerbeds planted around the streets and the shops lined up around the square where the fountain flows.

Belgrove, which has a cute yet full feeling, made me feel better while walking down the street.

“The village is really pretty.”

“I don’t know what to do with everyone who comes and says that. Is it very different from the capital?”

“Because the capital is not so secluded.”

“There is that, but I can feel the sensibility only here.”

“Emotion? you?”

“Shut up. Altein.”

For Hans to be emotional, it doesn’t suit him at all.

After following the villagers through the alleyways, an uphill with wooden stairs appeared.

There was a brick building different from the other houses.

“This is the town hall. Inside, the village chief will be waiting for you. Come on in.”
