chapter 24
025. I hate you (1)
The full moon was floating in the background of the blue night.
“Tia, Erje, what do you want to say?”
“Also, I don’t know what you are doing.”
Tia turned around and smiled once. Following that gesture, the white dress fluttered.
At those words, Ethan was silent for a moment.
It was not difficult to investigate someone behind the scenes with the financial resources of the Ergé Company.
However, Tia has not investigated Ethan yet.
I wanted to know about him like solving a fun riddle.
“I think you are a very interesting person. Professor Sylvia’s one and only disciple… . And that’s not all.”
Tia strode towards Edan and put her hand on the sword at his waist.
Ethan quietly watched what Tia was doing.
“I’ve seen the sword you used.”
Tia asked if she could draw your sword with her eyes. Ethan nodded once.
Sreureung-
A black blade came out of the scabbard.
The sword made of arcenite steel was soaked in black light as if sucking in moonlight.
“This sword, a sword made of Arkensan steel. Right?”
Again, Ethan nodded.
Tia held her sword up and down in the moonlight.
The action was as skillful as having touched the sword for a long time.
“Besides, this sword isn’t just an Arkensan steel sword.”
Isn’t it just an arcenite steel sword?
That was a story I had never heard of before.
“It looks like Orichalcon was added to Arken steel.”
Orichalcum.
It is famous as one of the three major magic ores, and was known to have the property of absorbing magic.
It is said that if Orichalcum enters the sword, it can easily cut through even the wizard’s magic.
“In other words, the sword you have is not only made of steel from Arken, but also refined orichalcum. Most swords couldn’t even show a business card to this sword.”
Tia looked at the sword with deep eyes and put it back in the scabbard.
“I got it from the Lognes family.”
“I was expecting that much.”
hehehehe, Tia laughed.
Soon she grabbed Ethan’s tie and came closer to meet his eyes.
It was so close that you could breathe.
Ethan did not avoid Tia’s eyes.
“Is that why you called me aside to talk about this?”
“Gee, I’ve been acting like an aristocrat. Nobles say what they want to say round and round.”
A smile formed on Tia’s lips as she put down her tie.
Then I took a step back.
“I don’t know you well yet… , I don’t know what you’re trying to do by creating a club… ,”
Tia slowly approached Ethan and whispered.
“I will join the club you are going to create.”
Ethan was lost in thought for a moment.
That was definitely good news. Including Tia, there are a total of five members: Arthur, Anya, Tesha, and Ethan.
When Edan didn’t respond, Tia tilted her head.
“Do you like it?”
“It can’t be. I was hoping you would sign up.”
Tia and Ethan looked at each other for a moment.
“and… … ”
“Something? Tia.”
“I will tell you directly. Ethan.”
Tia smiled softly and leaned against the balcony.
“I want to buy you. Your time, your swordsmanship, your eyes… .”
“… … ”
“how about it? Tia Herze and the Herze Company want you.”
A moment of silence passed.
“Sounds like betraying the Logness family?”
“Betrayal… , Word choice once is too much. If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’re asking for betrayal.”
Tia sighed playfully for a moment. The white dress fluttered once in the wind.
“In this case, it is called fair employment. In other words scout. How much do you get from the Logness family? If you work for Hergé, I will give you twice that amount.”
“I need some time to think.”
“Huh, that’s right, right?”
Ethan just turned around first.
Even after he disappeared, Tia stood on the balcony for a while.
The night view of Central Ban was also beautiful.
He is favored by Sylvia Lynchester.
In addition, he protects the daughter of the Lognes family.
There were some people from the east in the empire, so it wasn’t that strange, but in Tia’s eyes, even that was a mystery.
‘He’s also a fun person. I want to buy you.’

Just like when she saw an expensive necklace or earrings at a jewelry store, Tia wanted to get her hands on Ethan.

The weekend was peaceful.
On the campus, the spring day was now in full swing.
It was not difficult to find flowers on each campus outside the window.
Sepia glanced at the crystal ball several times.
Ethan said it would be time for tea on the weekend.
But there was no contact.
On Saturday Sepia was sitting in a chair.
The dorm room was quiet.
“How about contacting her first?”
Vivian, unable to watch from the side, asked cautiously.
However, Sepia shook her head.
Apparently, Ethan said that time is fine on the weekends.
If you hadn’t forgotten the promise, you would have been contacted.
Until Friday, Sepia was excited about going on a picnic.
I prepared sandwiches, cookies and tea by myself.
They were even looking for a place to view flowers.
However, there was no contact from Ethan until Saturday passed.
Before I knew it, the dorm room was getting dark.
“How would you like dinner, lady?”
At those words, Sepia came to her senses.
Could it be that you forgot?
Did I forget to mention that we can have tea on the weekends?
Shouldn’t you come first and ask if you have time?
“ah… I’m okay. I am not hungry.”
Sepia went to bed and fell face down.
I just had no energy all over my body.
“Vivian… .”
Sepia buried her head in the pillow and mumbled.
“Yes, lady.”
“Find out what Ethan is doing.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After speaking, Vivian stepped back as if she had received an order to celebrate.
Soon the door closed and Sepia was left alone.
I couldn’t sleep.
I tried manipulating the crystal ball.
There was no text message or contact from Ethan.
‘What am I doing on this golden weekend… .’
Sepia looked up at the ceiling.
I don’t even know what’s on my mind.
If Ethan was friendly with someone, he wanted to interfere for some reason.
Grumpy.
Especially Ethan and Tesha.
It was the same when I saw the two of them sticking together.
That was the reason Ethan suddenly had the cookie shuttle.
I tried to keep the two apart.
However, Tesha stuck to Ethan’s side.
Then he said he had to go to the store too.
The two would have exchanged pleasant conversations.
I’m sorry.
And on the other hand, I was envious of Tesha.
If I hadn’t met Edan in a master/servant relationship… .
‘Besides, Ethan walked side by side with Tesha to the store even though he knew I was watching him… .’
That was outrageous, so he made an unreasonable request.
It was a request to turn the cookie into a piece of cake.
This time I tried to talk while drinking tea.
I’m sorry.
Originally, I have a strong desire to monopolize.
Sepia pulled out a sandwich from the picnic colander.
I looked at the sandwich and put it down.
The ugliest sandwich was the one he made.
Even to her, it looked different from the sandwiches sold at bakeries. Still, he intended to secretly feed the sandwich he made at the picnic and ask how it was.
Wasak.
It wasn’t bad, but it was edible.
‘If I said it was tasteless, I was going to say it was made by Vivian… .’
Sepia put the sandwich down and lay down on the bed.
The night was deep.
Sunday morning.
Sepia heard about Ethan from Vivian.
That is, Ethan left for Central Class on Saturday.
And I knew sepia.
That there was a socialite party in Central Class.
“Ethan went to a social circle while I was waiting?”
“Sepia girl… .”
And that wasn’t all.
It was the custom of Logness’ servants to take a break on the weekend, unless there was a special call.
Even Sepia could understand that.
“Who was at the socialite party with you?”
“This is Sylvia von Lynchester.”
“What about Sylvia? Professor Sylvia?”
“Yes, that silver knight Silvia is right.”
If it was the Lynchester family, Sepia knew it too.
If Rogueness was a family of wizards against demons, the Lynchesters were a family of knights against demons.
Among them, Sylvia’s father was the current head of Lynchester.
So I couldn’t understand more.
Why is Sylvia going to the social scene with Ethan?
“Why is Professor Sylvia with Ethan?”
“After investigating, there were rumors that Ethan was Sylvia’s disciple.”
Only then did Ethan, who was fighting Mine, come to mind.
Was that swordsmanship the Linchester family swordsmanship?
“You mean Ethan was dancing with Professor Sylvia at a socialite party while I was waiting for Ethan to contact me?”
“miss… .”
The promise between the two was not confirmed.
Vivian couldn’t bear to say that.
“Are you saying that a servant of Logness enjoyed a socialite party with the lady of Lynchester on the weekend without the owner’s permission?”
Her hands were trembling on Sepia’s lap.
“Even with that, the owner made me wait endlessly!”
Perplexity into anger.
Anger turned to betrayal.
Sepia’s hand trembled as she bit her lower lip.
“If this is the case, just go to the Lynchester family.”
“miss… . I know you’re disappointed and angry, but… .”
“Vivian.”
“to?”
“Go and get Ethan.”
The small hand on her lap was still shaking.
* * *
The socialite party lasted all night.
Come to think of it, I haven’t had a single sip of alcohol since I fell into this world.
It wasn’t because I hated alcohol, but because I wanted to stay sober.
“Did you return after having a good conversation with Tia Erze?”
“Ah, yes. We had a good conversation.”
“Get a drink.”
Still, I tried to endure as much as I drank too much.
Until Tia provoked her drunkenly.
“Oh, Ethan, is it possible that the man avoids alcohol?”
“It’s not… Do you have a teacher… ”
“You’re not going to refuse the glass the lady pours you, right?”
Tia’s eyes were slightly open since she had already been drinking somewhere.
“It looks like Tia already drank some alcohol, but if you consume more than that, it will be a bit difficult… ”
“Why is Edan of the world with such a long tongue?”
Quick.
I send you today and I return alive.
Today’s socialite drunk is Tia Erze.
