96 – Parfait

“…… Yum.”

“Is it delicious?”

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s delicious.”

“Is that so?”

“Did the disciple take a bite too?”

“No, I am fine.”

Ashera put the fork she was sticking out behind her, and White frowned slightly at her.

That’s probably the case, because he doesn’t like sweet things that much.

The sweet-looking parfait gave way to Ashera, and White only quenched her thirst with water.

“Why not eat this delicious food? Sometimes, if you look at it, there are parts that are difficult for the disciple to understand.”

“…… It’s hard for me to understand a master who likes lollipops even though he’s old enough to eat—”

“Until there, shut your mouth.”

“Yes.”

Ashera took a bite of the parfait and her eyes flashed fiercely. White responded immediately.

White was well able to calculate the good that his master tolerated.

Maybe if I added just one more word about my age, lightning would strike right away.

With such a stupid thought in mind, White stared at Ashera as she ate the parfait with a happy expression.

“… ….”

But soon, his expression turned cold in an instant.

What is the reason?

“What are you doing?”

Without turning his head, White muttered quietly.

It was a muttering that could have been seen as a monologue at first glance, but very curiously, the answer came from behind.

“No, I just got curious.”

“I don’t intend to answer you, so please go away.”

“hahahaha, this was a friend with a cold personality.”

With only a slight jerk of his head, White looked at the blond young man seated in a chair behind him with an inorganic gaze.

The young man, Carl von Ajida Haka, raised the corners of his mouth.

“What, I just came here to have a conversation. Does it matter?”

Continuing to remain expressionless, White replied in a low voice.

“Very troublesome, I just recommend going back quickly.”

“Ha ha ha… …. Really, being rejected is a refreshing feeling.”

Carl shrugged his shoulders.

And soon, the smile slowly starts to disappear from his face.

But there was still an interesting light in his eyes.

“…… Qliphoth’s successor, White Qliphoth.”

“… ….”

“Right?”

White’s expression softened.

White slowly rises from his seat.

Turns around, he faces the knife.

“What if?”

“Your tone has changed.”

“If you know who I am, there is no reason to maintain your respect.”

Answering calmly, White looked down at Carl, who was still seated.

And that wasn’t necessarily wrong.

No matter how much he was from the royal family of the Kingdom of Darkness, if he was the successor to the Clifford family, he would not be pushed aside in terms of status.

Even if that’s the crown prince of the Kingdom of Darkness.

A look of annoyance came over White’s face.

“What is the purpose, Carl von Ajdahaka?”

Speaking that, White glanced at Ashera.

As if watching her entertaining spectacle, she glistened inside the gold as she took a bite of her parfait.

‘Haa… ….’

She let out a sigh inside him, and White pressed her eyes.

And then, with slightly open eyes, he looked at the knife again.

“… ….”

…… It wasn’t too strange that he knew his identity.

She didn’t reveal her family name, but she participated in the magic battle in the first place under the name of ‘White’.

If it’s her distinctive platinum hair and a close-up look that seems to contain the sea, those in the know would have already noticed.

So, she doesn’t question that part.

It meant that she could feel unpleasant, but she didn’t feel strange.

White opened her mouth again.

“If I don’t have business, I’ll stop going. Is that okay?”

“Oh, that won’t work. I am very interested in you, boy.”

“… ….”

White shuddered at the words Carl had uttered.

But it will never be out of fear or fear.

At the sensation of chicken meat sprouting, White frowned as he was.

You’re interested.

What is the meaning of interest?

…… Of course, that would be of interest as a mage.

As he spit out those words, Carl’s eye smile and his subtle tone made White feel goose bumps.

And when White frowned, did he sense something strange?

“…… Wait, wait. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s not like that.”

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“Sometimes you can interpret the meaning not by words, but by facial expressions. I wish I could get rid of those contemptuous glances. Because I don’t want that kind of misunderstanding.”

Closing his words, Carl let out a clearing of his throat.

“… ….”

“… ….”

A silence fell that made both of us uncomfortable.

‘Huh… ….’

And even then, Ashera was just watching the situation with interest.

Part of it was because her situation itself was interesting, but that wasn’t the only reason why her eyes twinkled.

As a teacher, as a position to teach White.

It was because a good idea flashed into my mind.

Ashera’s gaze passed through Carl and White one at a time.

‘A genius wizard who reached the 7th circle in his early 20s, and a monstrous disciple who reached the 8th circle before he was even in his 20s… ….’

If you put them together well, wouldn’t it be a good rivalry?

As a teacher, having an optimal competitor for a student is a good thing that I never hoped for.

The corners of Ashera’s mouth began to rise.

‘…… The final match of this Magic Battle is going to be really fun.’

*****

“As the heir of the Kingdom of Sorcery, there is only one reason why I dared to participate in the Great War of Empire Magic.”

“… ….”

Silent, listening, and idling white.

Nevertheless, Carl just continued talking with a smile.

“The staff of an ancient civilization that is on the winning prize, wouldn’t it be worth researching? I mean, it got me interested.”

“…… Was there anything like that?”

White ends up asking a question without realizing it.

As a result, Carl’s expression became subtle but subtle.

“Did you participate in the Magic Battle without knowing what the winning prize was? No, then why did you participate?”

There was a suspicious look that couldn’t be hidden from Carl’s voice.

At that, White let out a clearing of his throat.

He glanced at Ashera, then gently pressed his temples.

In fact, the reason why he gave her heart after participating in the magic battle was all because of her.

The reason she participated in the preliminaries of the Magic Battle was because of Ashera’s provocation, and the reason she decided to do her best in the finals was because of the condition she put forward.

If Ashera was the cause, it was also the cause of the last attempt to crush the sword overwhelmingly.

‘No, did I just fall prey to provocations?’

…… Is it like that?

With a stroke of her chin, White began to seriously consider her concerns.

‘Maybe I have a simpler personality than I thought.’

…… That was not a very pleasant conclusion.

With that, White’s expression naturally distorted, and at that point, could he have noticed where White’s eyes were headed?

Karl’s mysterious gaze soon moved from White to Ashera.

“Come to think of it, boy, is that black-haired girl in your company?”

“… ….”

…… And.

To that question.

The simplest, if simple, question.

For a moment, White had to be engulfed in the feeling of his heart pounding and sinking.

How should I express this emotion?

…… I didn’t know very well.

It was a little uncomfortable that I couldn’t define it with one emotion.

If I had to put into words the identity of the emotion I was able to clearly feel.

That could be called shallow but clear anger.

…… I don’t know why.

I don’t know.

Ashera, who showed interest in Carl, who rose to her 7th circle at her young age, and to see Carl giving her her attention.

I don’t know why, but I felt very uncomfortable.

White’s expression changed to a more stern expression.

“Karl Von Ajdahaka.”

“Hmm?”

Facing Carl, who questioned him questioningly, White continued her words in a cold voice.

The inside of the wall was in a state of deep stagnation, like an abyss with no end in sight.

“Don’t show her interest in her. Don’t talk to her, don’t even look at her. This is a warning.”

“…… ?”

Carl tilted her head, but regardless, White opened her mouth again.

“Because I can’t say for sure how I’ll behave if I ignore the warning. Take care of yourself.”

“… ….”

“… ….”

Static.

A cool silence fell in an instant around the three of them.

Of course, the starting point was the word that White had uttered, which could be described as cheesy.

“…… Pooh.”

It was none other than Ashera’s feeble laughter that broke the mysterious silence.

What was so funny, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and started to let out her extended laugh.

“Ah, aha. Ahahahahaha!”

“…… ?”

And, of course, the sound of laughter made White just bewildered.

Why are you bursting into laughter in this way, in this situation, in this atmosphere?

White sincerely couldn’t understand.

How his own words might have reached others, he hadn’t even guessed that simple.

From noble mtl dot com

“Hot.”

And at that point, Carl, who was making a blank expression, also let out a laugh.

A light of a little absurd appeared on his expression.

At the same time, the light seemed strangely interested.

Karl’s gaze passed White and Ashera one at a time.

Soon, as if he was genuinely having fun, he raised the corners of his mouth.

“Don’t worry, boy.”

“…… ?”

“I guarantee you nothing to worry about. You can swear on this in the name of the royal family.”

As if it was so funny, Carl continued with a smile on his face.

With an expression as if he was about to burst into laughter at any moment, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.

“I’m not shameless enough to covet someone else’s lover, and I have a fiancé.”

“…… Ah.”

And.

…… And.

With the words that Carl had uttered, did he finally realize what he was talking about?

It was a realization too late, but it only increased White’s shame.

“… ….”

In an instant, White’s expression hardened like a stone.

-Don’t show her interest in her. Don’t talk, don’t even look at me. This is a warning.

-I can’t say for sure how I’ll behave if I ignore the warning.

– Take care of yourself.

…… Slowly, he recalls the words he had uttered.

And finally, I was able to notice it.

In what tone was his own words spoken, and in what form he approached them.

…… How the hell did Carl and Ashera hear it?

“… ….”

Woe!

As soon as White’s lips were tightly closed, his expression instantly turned red.

The belated feeling of shame and shame gave White more pain than any mental attack.

And just like that, White was blinking blankly, looking very shocked.

“What is it, disciple?”

Ashera opened her mouth with a mischievous smile on her lips.

White’s head creaked and turned toward her.

“Are you jealous now? Are you jealous? Huh? Right, right?”

“… ….”

Silent White, nonetheless Ashera smiled.

As if happier than ever, she poked her finger in White’s side with her beaming smile.

“Master Lee, are you a little moved? Oh, what a sinful woman I am. To make a disciple have such feelings…….”

“… ….”

“It’s okay, disciple. I think you can! Is it because my disciple likes me so much? I can understand.”

Ashera tapped White’s side, tapped her shoulder, and tapped her on the cheek as her stretched mouth was tightly shut.

Soon after, she delivered a finishing attack with a mischievous smile like that of a goblin.

“But, um. Yes. ‘Because I can’t be sure how I will act’, Rani.”

“… ….”

“A little, no, a lot more than I thought. As a teacher, I am quite ashamed. If I, who just listened to it, would be like this, how would the disciple be by now…….”

“… ….”

“I’m really sorry, but don’t do that next time, disciple.”

Hook!

Ashera’s words took shape, and she became an arrow, which she fervently pierced White’s heart.

Beetle-

White staggered her body once.

And I think.

‘Am I going to die?’

Not just spit out, but seriously.

White started thinking about the least shameful way to commit suicide.
