031. Rather good! (2)
hallway.
Sepia left Cassia’s office.
I couldn’t quite figure out what was going on.
It was obviously nonsense.
Measurements were not completed for more than 20 minutes.
Average measurement time is 3 minutes.
Even simple calculations meant that Edan had more than six times the magical capacity of others.
Sepia glared at Ethan.
Either way, Ethan was yawning.
“Ethan! Talk to me.”
Sepia hurriedly grabbed Ethan, who had turned around.
But the answer that came back was surprising.
“no.”
“What… Called?”
“annoying.”
“Are you bothered… ? How dare you when the owner is calling.”
As she spoke, she realized too.
Habit is scary.
She, too, was aware that she was no longer the owner.
Sepia’s eyes shook like an earthquake.
‘Ethan and I have no relationship anymore… .’
The thought was tormenting him.
“Are you leaving if you have nothing to say?”
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Why again?”
I wanted to ask.
How the mana capacity is so great.
why did you want to leave me
Why did you leave the Lognes family?
what you don’t like
Until now, Ethan had been working silently for the Logness family.
‘But why did you suddenly leave?’
Sepia thought for a long time by herself.
But I couldn’t understand it at all.
So I wanted to ask.
“What?”
Looking at Edan’s indifferent eyes, I was speechless.
I was afraid of the answer that would come back when I asked someone.
‘If you say you left because you hated me… .’
It felt like my heart would be torn apart.
So I couldn’t ask.
I wanted to tell you that you can come back anytime.
The Logness family is waiting for you to come back.
“Nothing… .”
Sepia bowed her head.
And walked past Ethan.
Ethan watched Sepia’s back and turned around.
* * *
“Are you here? miss?”
Vivian’s voice followed.
Upon returning, Sepia collapsed on the bed.
He still couldn’t forget Ethan’s eyes as he looked at him with indifferent eyes. Sepia had never had the experience of receiving that kind of glance from someone.
In a way, it was natural.
Sepia was a direct descendant of the Lognes family and a woman who would become the rightful owner of the Lognes class. Because there was no Young Ji-min who looked indifferently at such a young lady.
Everyone was busy keeping an eye on her.
Recalling her childhood, she grew up mostly surrounded by servants and maids. They tried to impress her, at least outwardly.
That’s why Sepia didn’t know how to treat people well.
He didn’t even know his own feelings, and he had never said a warm word to anyone.
“My lady, what are you doing?”
Vivian approached Sepia, who buried her head in the pillow.
Sepia has been sleeping longer these days.
Sleep to escape reality.
And when I got up, I headed to the classroom.
After class, Sepia returned to the dormitory and was lost in the void. And I read a book or finished an assignment to do something.
When night comes, she falls asleep after receiving a sleep magic from Vivian.
Sepia’s condition seemed serious even to Vivian. If she could, Vivian wanted to beg Ethan to come back, even on her knees.
“Vivian… .”
Sepia’s eyes were moist when she raised her head.
It felt like tears would run down my cheeks any second.
“Did your interview with Professor Cassia not go well?”
Vivian asked cautiously in a worried voice.
It wasn’t. Rather, Professor Cassia rated herself highly.
“no… .”
Sepia responded with a smirk.
What should I say about what happened today?
Sepia was always disingenuous.
If conversation is mutual communication, then Sepia was in a position to unilaterally give orders to the people of the territory. In the social world, I always wore a mask.
So there was no need to be honest.
“Are you going to leave me someday too?”
Sepia was whimpering.
Vivian had a friendly smile on her lips.
“I promise you. miss. I will not leave you.”
“Hey Vivian… .”
“Yes, sepia lady. I am listening.”
Sepia couldn’t speak easily and only pursed her lips.
I wanted to ask.
Am I a wicked young lady?
What have I done wrong to Ethan?
What do you think is the reason Ethan left?
She couldn’t understand it.
At least Sepia was self-righteous, but her reputation was good within the territory.
His personality was a bit angular, but he cared for the locals.
Everyone thought it could be because Sepia was an aristocratic lady.
‘What if Ethan really hates me?’
Sepia hesitated for a long time.
So I couldn’t ask directly.
“Am I a wicked young lady?”
The evil young lady described in the novel is jealous of others and schemes behind the scenes. And he put the heroine and the main character into a trap.
He did not stop there and even whipped his subordinates.
“no. I have never met anyone so noble and wonderful as the lady.”
Vivian had never served a lady other than Sepia.
However, there was a time when he participated in the social world along with Sepia.
The sepia she watched was more clever than anyone else. Even in magic, he was more talented than anyone else in Logness Castle.
“Did I do anything wrong to Ethan?”
“miss… .”
“Answer me. Did I make a big mistake with Ethan?”
Vivian couldn’t answer.
In fact, Ethan has amnesia. Still he loves you So he hid from you that he had lost his memory and left your side. Above all, Ethan wants to face you on an equal footing.
For that reason, Edan dreams of becoming a hero.
In my heart, I wanted to tell you everything.
‘I want to comfort the lady… ‘
But Ethan wanted a secret.
In Vivian’s mind, whether to tell everything or keep Ethan’s secret, the two opinions were tug-of-war for a while.
“Ethan… . I will come back to you, lady.”
“Coming back? How do you know that?”
“Just… . It’s my gut feeling.”
Vivian had no choice but to say so. It seemed that I couldn’t tell you about Ethan yet.
“Nope… Ethan won’t come back.”
There was confidence in Sepia’s voice.
“Yes? Aren’t you coming back?”
“Hey Ethan… . He had a deeper magic capacity than me.”
“You said your magical power capacity was deeper than that of the sepia lady?”
Vivian only blinked at the incomprehensible words.
I desperately shook my head.
But I also didn’t understand.
Ethan had no talent for magic.
I knew how to handle basic elemental magic. A talent that is nothing special. Vivian also knew that because she had watched it from the sidelines.
“How big was Edan’s magic capacity?”
“Professor Cassia took 20 minutes to measure.”
“Twenty minutes?”
“Yeah, not only that, but it took 20 minutes and I couldn’t even measure it all.”
Can the magical capacity suddenly increase?
The mana capacity was not something that could be easily increased.

Just like building muscles, not only did you need constant exercise, but you also needed to be born. Even so, there were many cases where I bumped into a wall.
“Magic capacity can be suddenly increased… .”
“Edan wasn’t naturally born.”
“I think so too.”
“Then, there is only one conclusion. that he tried to die Ethan guy… . I’ve been trying to die for a long time to leave the Lognes family.”
Sepia shared her conclusions.
That’s why the Daesanghoe wanted to recruit Edan.
The fact that it has such a large magical power capacity means that it has great potential. It was a conclusion I never wanted to reach.
“miss… .”
Sepia lowered her head. Silky soft pink hair fell with gravity.
‘No, lady. Ethan worked so hard for you.’
Vivian couldn’t bear to get the word out.
Not long after, Sepia fell asleep.
Vivian, who was about to leave the room, suddenly stopped.
There were two wrapped gift boxes under the table.
It was a basket full of chocolates.
And there was a note attached to it.
One to Vivian, the other.
―Dear Ethan, Happy Merry Merry Day.

‘under… embarrassed.’
Tia sighed.
I remembered a mistake I made at a socialite party the other weekend.
‘What’s up? Are you ignoring my words? Do you know how hard it is for me to be the daughter of Ergé’s company? I’m having such a hard time, are you even ignoring my words?’
‘hehehehe! Good morning. It’s a disingenuous young anime!’
‘Young anime! I thought we were going to make a club? would you like to join me? Ehehe. Don’t you think it would be infinitely fun? Club activities with friends.’
Members of the target meeting must remain calm.
You must not be bound by personal affections.
Investing should be based on accurate data and evidence.
It was said in the book that I have taken countless business management classes and read. But that day, Tia was just excited.
‘Why did you drink so much when you know how much you drink?’
In the end, I got so drunk that I talked nonsense.
I had never drank until I was so drunk in the social world.
“under… . .”
Up until now, Tia had spoken respectfully to everyone. But not as much as that day.
In the end, she talked nonsense while being taken away by the sepia maid.
‘I’m different! I will not fool myself like your master! Hehe.’
Fortunately or unfortunately, the maid seemed reticent.
So, it was unlikely that he would tell the young lady the story he had been talking about while drunk.
That day, Tia woke up and came to her senses.
I remembered all the past events.
I was ashamed.
As soon as I woke up, my face was flushed red. I was ashamed and wanted to die.
I kicked off the duvet without counting.
“Crazy, crazy! Seriously, I must be crazy.”
Tia messed up her red hair for no reason.
I even banged my head against the wall.
“Crazy, crazy!”
Crow, the crow, had followed his words.
“be quiet. I am not feeling well right now.”
Only then did Crow roll his eyes and notice.
‘Yes, I’d rather pretend I lost my memory.’
But.
Every time I saw Ethan, the memories of that time came to mind.
Still, Tia acted without changing her expression.
I’ve never had a full-body performance as much as I did back then.
Fortunately, Ethan didn’t hang on to the matter.
‘Isn’t it rather a good thing?’
Crisis is an opportunity.
So, it’s good to apologize for being sorry at this point and prepare a stronger opportunity.
Tia glanced at the calendar.
Coincidentally, tomorrow was ‘Merry Mary Day’.
On Merry Mary Day, we exchanged chocolates with our loved ones. In addition, friends handed over chocolates as a sign of friendship.
It was a day I made myself to sell chocolate at the Hergé Grand Prize, and it was a day when chocolate sales increased exponentially every year.
Why is it designed to give and receive chocolate between friends?
That way we can sell more chocolate.
‘I have to present chocolate to Ethan.’
While presenting chocolates to class 1 classmates during assembly time, I planned to present more special chocolates to Ethan personally to express my apologies.
The next day, Tia passed out chocolates to her classmates.
“Wow, I’ll eat well. Tia!”
“thank you. After all, Ergé’s company is big, right?”
Tia shared the chocolate with a proud heart.
Then it was his turn to approach Ethan and hand over the chocolate. I did this, so I wouldn’t be misunderstood.
Ethan was looking out the window with indifferent eyes.
Tia cleared her throat beside Ethan.
But Ethan didn’t care as if he was lost in his thoughts.
“excuse me. Ethan.”
“yes?”
“that… I came and picked it up.”
Tia held out a piece of chocolate.
There was something I had prepared, but I said it.
