My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

78 – Confession (2)

The trip to find my father was something I had always done.

1 year ago.

Selected as a warrior, choose an academy,

After coming over to the Apelliche Empire to study abroad.

Every vacation, Ruen traveled around the empire looking for her father.

It is quite dangerous for a woman who has just reached adulthood to travel alone, but Luen was not afraid because she was a skilled magician with an excellent level of magic.

Two months in summer vacation.

Two months in winter vacation.

I constantly asked for news about my dad, and I ran around on my own during vacation.

Finding my father wasn’t easy.

There were two reasons for Luen to think.

the vastness of the empire,

The fact that my father is a commoner.

The empire was vast, and there were so many areas to explore.

Since the academy was located in the ecliptic, they blindly followed the ecliptic, Felix, but they did not know which region of the empire their father had settled in.

Besides, he’s not even a noble, but a commoner in the Denver kingdom.

It was certainly difficult to find a father who had immigrated a long time ago as a commoner.

It was impossible for imperial citizens to even remember the names of commoners from other countries.

‘still… .’

Nevertheless, there was one reason why Luen did not give up.

The reason I came to study abroad…

It was only because I wanted to meet my father.

If you can’t see your dad.

There was no need to travel a long way to reach the empire.

There is also a warrior academy in Denver Kingdom.

In addition, the reason why she was persistently looking for her father was clear.

A long time ago.

The fact that my father was a commoner magician who was active in the Demon War and a retired warrior who made a name for himself.

That made him not give up on Ruen.

The same goes for Shunika’s father, although it could be the bluff that fathers usually do.

Luen thought that was true.

My mother cursed and cursed at my father.

The mother who lived with the words ‘Daddy is garbage’, the only achievement of her father that she acknowledged was her footsteps as a warrior.

He was famous, and his skills were good.

A short evaluation from a mother who is full of praise.

So, it was more trustworthy.

‘however… .’

But those were all stories that became meaningful when I found my father.

freshman year.

Two months during summer vacation.

Two months during winter break.

He traveled all over the northern and western parts of the ecliptic, but he couldn’t find any news of his father.

Maybe he changed his name?

such a reasonable doubt.

And after becoming sophomore year.

first summer vacation.

Ruen did not give up and left to find her father again.

This area is eastern.

period is one month.

The continent was confused by the appearance of the ‘double gate’ and the sudden appearance of mid-level demons.

If I made good use of the situation on the continent, I thought that I might be able to find my father this time.

“Alted? Well, it’s a very common name.”

“It’s probably hard to find here. I think you’d better go north. There are a lot of immigrants there.”

“miss. What is your name?”

But it was also bullsh*t.

I used to get a bunch of useless questions, let alone clues about my dad’s whereabouts.

day like that.

and two days.

By the time the date keeps changing and the time keeps passing.

Luen suddenly thought.

‘I want to go back… .’

He was even surprised by what he thought.

After entering the academy, the process of finding a father that he has been steadily doing.

In that time without any regrets.

This was the first time I had the thought of ‘I want to go back’.

But the reason was never exhaustion.

Endless journey and repeated results.

Even within that, Ruen had been patiently looking for her father.

‘Sacher… .’

I want to go back.

The reason for that sentence that even Ruen herself couldn’t believe…

Sacher, there was the face of a friend of the same age.

It wasn’t sudden.

Sacher nestled in Ruen’s heart.

What he keeps thinking about.

It wasn’t just that this was the first time.

From the time I consulted with Schnika.

And at the Red Wolf Gate…

Since Sacher was seriously injured.

Her feelings for him grew out of control within Ruen, and his face came to mind several times a day.

A journey to find my father.

Since I made up my mind and went on this trip, that phenomenon has only gotten worse.

It reminded me of Sacher, and I wanted to see it.

When I ate delicious food, I wanted to eat it with him.

When I saw a pretty scenery, I wanted to see it with him.

I wanted to go back.

To where Sacher is.

to the academy to see him.

I wanted to go back.

Ruen, who came to study in the empire to find her father, was getting to know that important existence in the empire before she knew it.

However, I wasn’t sure about that feeling.

Because it was Ruen who had never liked anyone.

Because it was Ruen who had been abandoned by someone.

I forcibly suppressed those feelings and persevered through the entire month of searching for my father.

And the last day of the trip.

The person Ruen met was an unexpected person.

“Oh, isn’t that the kid who was with Sachere at the time? I think I remember.”

“… hello.”

Ariel Tyrpe.

The princess of Tyrpe Kingdom, and the best alchemist to be expected.

She came to the Imperial Alchemy Society for a while, and was on her way back to the kingdom.

Ariel, who had a completely opposite personality to Ruen, had no hesitation in dealing with the shy Ruen.

“How are you Sacher? I’m working on the alchemy store business with him, but I haven’t been there even after it’s completed. I thought I would do well on my own. do you know Sacher, when he works, he has a brittle side.”

Even when I came to the Empire this time, I didn’t stop by the Alchemy Shop…

I don’t think I’m too interested…

But I heard that it’s going very well…

The money came in little by little… .

Ariel chatted without knowing the end while facing Ruen at the teahouse.

It was a friendly attitude that made me wonder if we had seen each other twice today.

And Luen thought.

if this person

If it’s this active, and if it’s someone close to an adult.

that it might solve your problems.

So, without hesitation, I spoke up.

“excuse me… ”

“huh?”

A person who keeps worrying these days.

If you don’t have it, you’ll think of it, and if you fall, someone you want to see.

A month-long trip to find my father.

During that time.

A person who rummaged through his head without a break.

Sacher.

And about the way you treat him.

Ruen confessed everything to Ariel without hesitation.

Ariel’s attitude is different from the lighthearted attitude she was shown at first.

Seriously and focused, I listened to Ruen’s story.

And after all the talk.

The words that came out of Ariel’s mouth were surprisingly simple.

“what. You like it.”

“… yes?”

Likes.

Ruen’s eyes shook at that unfamiliar word.

And Ariel smiled and looked at her like that.

“I don’t know why you’re thinking about this… Ruen, you like Sacher. That child is so deeply rooted in your heart, even normally. Even now when I travel. It doesn’t leave, it keeps lingering in your head.”

Likes.

I like Sacher.

The truth of the emotions he had been ignoring turned into a sledgehammer and hit Ruen on the head.

His only two friends in the academy.

A smart and capable student, but a sleepy and lazy student.

He has become so famous now that everyone on the continent recognizes him as a hero.

The first meeting was the worst, but it was already a memory and I was looking at a year.

I became a friend with whom I could open my heart for a year, but now I have become a member of the opposite s*x whom I want to give my heart to.

Ruen listened to Ariel’s direct advice and only then realized.

That she likes Sacher. That’s why it was so frustrating and painful.

Ruen greeted Ariel and stood up from the spot.

I wanted to see Sacher.

I didn’t hide it anymore, I wanted to like him to the fullest.

So I ran without stopping.

I returned to the academy in a day by carriage.

and where he is.

In ＜The Moonlight Night＞.

Luen conveyed his sincerity.

“… I like you, Sacher.”

that day.

Luen confessed to a man for the first time.

* * *

“… Luen.”

“i like you. I like you, Sacher.”

“no no. Calm down, Luen. I know your heart enough It’s okay if we don’t talk more.”

I don’t know what happened, but Ruen suddenly became a straight woman.

in that embarrassing situation.

I slowly organized my thoughts.

In the meantime, I was able to treat Schnika and Ruen as friends.

Even though they continued to express their liking…

Because he didn’t confess himself.

Ruen, Schnika, Delia, and Karin.

All of them have a crush on me beyond the ordinary, and I don’t hate that either.

Of course, even if I like Karin, it’s a relationship that shouldn’t continue.

However, in an ambiguous relationship that only expressed good feelings for each other.

Ruen, who was the most shy, confessed first.

It’s embarrassing, but maybe it was inevitable.

I’ve been putting off making excuses for so long.

For now, I had an obligation to answer her.

give me a little time

I didn’t want to make such lame excuses.

Ruen, who was always silent, mustered up so much courage.

In that courage, countless worries and fears would remain as traces.

I am from such a proud Luen.

I didn’t want to run away cowardly.

“Louen.”

“… … !”

I carefully hugged Luen again.

Unlike the one she brought before.

This time I held her in my arms.

I could feel her little body trembling in my arms.

“thank you. For giving me courage.”

“… … .”

As for the complex relationships around you…

To be honest, I can’t give you an answer yet.

To the precious people who have nestled in me at any moment.

I like all of them…

If they all confess like Ruen.

I’m not sure how to react.

But one thing is for sure… .

“I like Luen too. I should have told you first, but I wasn’t sure in my heart. Sorry.”

One thing is certain.

That’s what I like about Luen.

She was wrapped in crush and remained only as a friend.

Now she has become one of my favorite women.

Am I too nervous?

Ruen’s body stiffened.

Carefully caressing her shoulder…

I whispered quietly

“i like you. I like you, Luen.”

It was embarrassing, but it was a sincere confession.
