140 – Living Together

“I’m here now…” ?!”

Before I could answer the question, my body was pulled into the carriage by Jessica’s hand.

As soon as my body entered the carriage, the carriage door closed and Jessica’s face, more enraged than I had ever seen before, came closer to me.

“Hoeheh…” .”

Jessica, holding my collar while Hori was crying at the sudden situation, asked me in a trembling voice.

“What do you mean, confrontation…?” ?”

“What are you talking about…?” . “Jessica would know because she was next to me when the story came up.”

“You’re not saying that right now!! Wow, you’ve been dating for just how long and you’re already trying to cheat on me!!”

Jessica’s angry voice rang so loudly that it seemed like it might make the carriage vibrate.

I knew very well what Jessica would think about what I was about to do, so I didn’t know what to say.

So, I expressed my feelings that could not be fully expressed in words through my body instead of words.

“Ugh… !!”

When he touched Jessica’s cheek right up to her nose and kissed her, Jessica could not avoid the sudden kiss and accepted it.

I wonder if my feelings were conveyed by sharing each other’s saliva and warmth. Jessica’s face, which was red with anger, seemed to have a different meaning than before, perhaps due to her mood.

“Ha….”

Jessica, breathing hot and heavy, sat on top of me and looked down at me.

I raised her body to move Jessica out of the way from above and spoke to Jessica, who was waiting for me to speak with her hands trembling.

“Jessica, listen carefully. “The more women and swords you have, the better.”

“……… I beg your pardon?”

“The more women and swords there are, the better. Then, I’ll come and see you face to face!”

As Jessica rushed out, kicking down the door of her carriage, leaving the panicked Jessica behind, Jessica’s angry voice was heard from behind her.

“I will take revenge in my later years!!! “Just wait and see when I get married later!!!”

“hahahaha!!!”

That is a foolish statement. There’s no way I’d give up on what I can do now because I’m afraid of revenge decades later.

Furthermore, it was clear that all of the children who grew up training in the art of martial arts under me were children of upright character, so there was no way they would just ignore their mother’s unreasonable behavior.

“…… “It seems like some strange words were exchanged. What happened?”

“It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it. What is the next swordsman than that? “Seeing as I asked you to fight here, I guess you’re nearby, right?”

“Yes, my sister is on the horse side…” .”

“Stay here.”

I lowered my gaze when I heard a voice coming from below, not from the side or behind, and there, standing there, was a young girl with a youthful face that somehow resembled Rain.

The girl was shorter than Hori, around 140cm tall, and had the same blue hair as Raine, tied in two pigtails at the back. As Raine once said, she was short but had an unbalanced body with some protruding hair.

If she had been an ordinary girl, I would have been interested in her beauty, but now my interest was not in her beauty but in her surprisingly stable posture.

‘There are no gaps.’

Although she appeared to be just standing there, anyone skilled in her swordsmanship could see that her entire body was in an extremely tense state so that she could respond to any and all attacks.

There were four swords tied to my waist, and I was intrigued as to how to use four swords.

“…… Name is?”

“… Elaine Poe Lionheart. You are nice “I think you’ll enjoy it a lot.”

I guess the other person had the same thoughts as me, but I could feel the fighting spirit of a warrior in their expressionless eyes.

I wanted to test how a girl who was at least 40cm shorter than me would handle my sword, but I couldn’t fight her right now.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t fight right now.”

“…… Why?”

“The sword I use for sparring is broken…. “I don’t think I can fight now because of that.”

“If it’s a sword, there’s another one at your waist.”

As Elaine said that, she pointed to Nanga tied to her belt, but she could not pull Nanga against Elaine.

“If I fight you with Nanga, I don’t have the confidence to finish it without killing you.”

“… ….”

Keeping things in your hands so that you don’t die also works only when there is a certain level of skill difference.

I have not yet crossed swords with Elaine, but judging by the power felt, Elaine’s skills were on the same level as Baek Jeong-nam’s or slightly worse.

Even if it’s a sparring match against an opponent like that, if I keep the circumstances at hand, I will end up getting hurt.

“Um….”

Elaine, who knew very well that what I said was not a lie given her ability, nodded and said that there was nothing she could do.

“… Then, when you get a new sword, are you going to fight then?”

“Okay, can you wait a little while until then?”

“Yes….”

Elaine retreated easily compared to how she showed her fighting spirit just a moment ago.

Since the original purpose was not to determine life or death, but to find out each other’s skills for a confrontation, it was natural to step down now.

So, thinking that the matter was over, I was about to get into the carriage, and Elaine, who was following me, got into the carriage with me.

“…… What? “Why did you come up here?”

“Huh? I’m going to wait until I get a new sword….”

“Wait?”

When I looked towards Lane to see what was going on, I saw Lane stroking his face with one hand and sighing deeply.

“I’m sorry…. Just a few days… “I’ll ask her sister for a few days.”

“Hey! Where?!”

Rain left those words and quickly ran off somewhere without even looking back.

When I looked at Lane’s back, which looked somewhat tired, I could easily imagine what kind of days the two of them had spent up until now, and I felt sad for no reason.

“Um….”

When Elaine got on the carriage and sat down next to me, she made eye contact with Jessica, who was sitting across from me.

Jessica glared at Elaine, forgetting that her opponent was the next Sword Saint, but Elaine just responded with a blank expression as if it was no big deal.

For the short time the carriage entered the mansion, a hell-like time continued.

Time passed and the carriage stopped in the garden, but perhaps because of the atmosphere inside the carriage, no one got off and there was only uncomfortable silence.

-Growling….

But, just for a moment, just as everything comes to an end, the silence that had surrounded the carriage was suddenly broken by the sound of the carriage rumbling.

“Are you hungry?”

“Yes…. I haven’t eaten anything for two days. “Give me food.”

“Yes, people have to eat.”

I got out of the carriage as if running away with Elaine holding on to my sleeve.

Afterwards, Hori, who was disgusted by the atmosphere of the carriage, ran out, but Jessica did not come out until the end and continued to glare at my back.

I stretched out my hand towards the seat next to the bed, almost out of habit when I woke up.

I placed Nanga, who was caught first, against the wall and then tried to catch Yeongta, but I sighed at the unusual weight I felt in my hand.

“… ….”

The hilt of the sword Youngta held in his hand had the base of the blade cut cleanly, as if it had been cut with a sharp blade.

Yeongta, which was once the most suitable sword for sharpening, has now been reduced to a failure, unable to sharpen.

That fact was so sad that I started this morning with tears in my eyes.

When I left the room with the broken Yeongta lying on the side of the bed, Elaine, who had been staying at the mansion for a few days, was waiting for me.

“Were you waiting?”

“Yes….”

“Then let’s go.”

Elaine has been doing morning training with me since the day she stayed at the mansion.

Even though we were together, we were just swinging our swords while looking in different directions, but just having someone next to us made us feel something different.

“Whoa… !!”

After sweating happily in the garden, we headed to the restaurant to fill our hungry stomachs.

Elaine, who had been awkward at first, started to feel more familiar, perhaps because we had been living like this for a few days.

However, a few days had passed since the day he first visited with Lane and Elaine, but Hori still glanced at Elaine during the meal as if he was still unfamiliar with her.

“Have you eaten everything?”

“Yes….”

After finishing eating, Elaine got up first and Hori came next to me as if he had been waiting.

“Mr. Ian…. Do you really want to marry that person? “Jessica won’t stay still.”

“What are you going to do if you don’t stay still? “If that happens, will the already torn hymen grow back?”

“Wow… Trash….”

Hey, did someone threaten me with a knife to give me my virginity? And among other high-ranking nobles, there are people who have more than a dozen concubines, and I am a noble person.

“Then what happens next…” “Would you like me to make you something like a contraceptive pill or an aphrodisiac?”

“We haven’t even met yet, isn’t it too early?”

“You haven’t seen each other, but you are living together, right? Then prepare in advance….”

I’m thinking about this now, but even if the order is messed up, it still feels like it’s stuck.

“Where did it all go wrong? .”

It was a time when I was lamenting over a relationship that was twisted and twisted rather than the string of earphones stuffed roughly in my pocket.

When I heard the sound of the iron door being roughly opened and pulled open from outside, I looked out the window and saw Jessica standing proudly with several maids.

“What else…?” .”
