299 – KIDDING (2)
Isabella clearly heard what Theo said.
But it was confusing. Not only did my pupils get bigger, but my mouth opened without me realizing it.
I heard that I had something to ask of you, so I expected it to be something out of the ordinary, but…
‘······Go with yourself, let’s live together!’
What does that mean?
Even though it was unexpected, it was too unexpected. If I had been holding water in my mouth, I would have squirted it all out.
‘I was a guy who had no idea what he was going to do, but I never thought it would be like this.’
Isabella’s eyes fluttered.
Whether she was embarrassed or not, Theo had his usual calm demeanor.
Theo opened her mouth.
“I’m not saying we want to live together forever. Just for the time being. “About two months?”
Theo added her words as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, of course, my senior seems to dislike crowded places, so let’s find a quiet place. Mountains and sea. “Which do you prefer?”
“Well, that’s not important! Whatever the period and location, uh, whatever…! “The important thing is that we live together!”
Theo nodded his head calmly.
“That’s right.”
“But go, why are you suddenly asking to live together?”
“······Ah.”
Only then did Theo realize why Isabella was so embarrassed.
‘You didn’t tell me why we have to live together.’
When asking something from another person, it is better to get straight to the point rather than going round and round… His long conversation habits emerged.
Theo opened his mouth again.
“Ah. I’m sorry, senior. You didn’t tell me why. In fact, I’m going to be in a lot of danger.”
Theo told Isabella what had happened.
After joining the Survey Corps, starting with the battle with the Light Acolytes, making Fiat an ally, subduing the Light Acolytes who lost their senses and bringing them into the Academy, becoming immune to Imitation Elixir, etc. ······ Isabella explained the current situation in as much detail as possible to make it easier to understand.
However,
“Well, what does that have to do with us living together!”
Isabella still looked embarrassed.
“There are many people in the Healer’s Guild who can use recovery spells and magic!”
Theo answered without delay.
“Of all the people I know, the person who is most proficient in healing spells is my senior.”
Theo continued.
“And my senior helped me more than anyone else. I will definitely pay you back someday. Please help me, senior.”
Theo’s eyes were quite serious. He stared at Isabella with burning red eyes.
Hwaak─
Isabella’s face turned red when she felt Theo’s gaze.
She was so embarrassed that some random words came out of her mouth.
“······We just exchanged what we wanted. “That will continue to be the case in the future.”
“For just that reason, they won’t even use Lenimide’s 11th Word for me. “I felt my senior’s trust.”
The price of Renimid’s 11th word is that the caster loses half of the sacred power he has accumulated so far and falls into a state of fainting for several days.
After Isabella used her spell on Theo, she actually lost half of her divine power and lay dead in her bed for several days.
Isabella understood Theo’s words to some extent in her head. If she’s going to leave it to an unproven therapist, she’s going to leave it to herself.
What is currently blocking her is her conservative reason that has been built up over a long period of time.
‘Wow, an unmarried man and woman live together! Oh, that’s ridiculous…!’
No matter how well I think of Theo, I want to walk the same path he walks… But it wasn’t easy.
Moreover, no matter how careful he is about being a beggar, there is a high probability that the rumor that he lives with him will spread. And a horse without feet can travel a thousand miles in one day.
Whatever the reason, it was clear that other people would only focus on the two people living together…!
Theo stared at Isabella in silence.
“······.”
She is lowering her head, unable to make eye contact with him. She was red all over her face, down to her ears and neck.
Theo felt the need to appeal more strongly.
‘It can’t be anything other than Isabella.’
Who else but her can restore herself, even at the cost of sacrificing her own body?
No one else came to mind except Isabella.
‘First, let’s make them look into each other’s eyes.’
Isabella did not explicitly reject her request, but she did not agree.
If she stays alone for a long time, she may refuse. It felt instinctive.
‘We have to push now.’
Zech.
Theo stood up. He grabbed both of Isabella’s shoulders as she still lowered her head.
“!!”
Isabella was startled and raised her head.
Theo and Isabella’s eyes met.
As soon as her eyes met, Isabella’s head was about to lower again.
Theo muttered.
“······I don’t need anyone else.”
Isabella’s downward head stopped.
Theo lowered her body and brought her to eye level. Then, looking into her wildly agitated eyes, she said:
“All I need is a senior.”
* * *
After leaving the student council room, I headed to [The Hilte].
“Huh.”
I let out a short breath.
It was eventful, but in the end, he succeeded in getting Isabella’s permission.
‘It was successful, right?’
─·····Ah, uh, ah, ah······ Ah, I understand, so I’m going out! I’ll contact you later!
Well, my voice was a bit harsh… But I said I would understand, so wasn’t that okay?
Since you said you would contact me separately later, I will ask you then how to return the Light Acolytes to their original state. We’ll be staying together for a while, so I’ll have plenty of time to talk to her.
Anyway, I need to find a place to stay with Isabella for a while.
Anyway, people related to [Turning White], Including [Learning Mind], And people related to the church will eventually find out no matter where I am.
It would be more effective to set up the ground first, prepare, and then welcome them.
Of course, it is best to be caught as late as possible, so we plan to avoid areas belonging to the Balderk family.
Squeak.
After arriving at [The Hilte], I opened the door and went in.
The steps went underground, not above ground. There are researchers brought in from Taylor and [Ford Company] In the basement.
Tap, knock.
After going down the stairs for a while, I saw a crude iron door.
I looked into the small gap at the top of the iron door, and after a while, the door opened.
Taylor, who was standing in front of the door, welcomed me.
“Welcome, Theo. “Did your job go well?”
“Yes, okay. “By the way, is everything going well with what I asked you to do?”
“Yes, he is scheduled to undergo surgery soon.”
Taylor led me to one of the many rooms.
There were dozens of researchers and a Fiat in the room.
The chief researcher was exchanging questions and answers with Fiat, who was lying on the operating table, while the researchers crowded behind him were taking notes on the documents they were holding.
The chief researcher bowed to Taylor.
“Are you here, Deputy Manager?”
“hahahahaha, yes. Are your preparations for surgery going well?”
“Yes, we were conducting a final Q&A with the patient before surgery. “The patient requested that it be put on as strong as possible.”
“It is a good attitude to serve a precious person. hahahahaha, you say you don’t have any chronic illness?”
“Yes. In addition to Q&A, we also conducted a detailed examination, but since he has a strong body, I think he will be able to move without any discomfort even if he is implanted with the strongest one.”
While the two were talking, I made eye contact with the lying Fiat.
I walked to the Fiat.
“I’m about to have surgery, but aren’t I nervous?”
“······Theo Lin Walderk. “You were a man who could tell jokes.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Of course. “Did you see me as a devil or an angel, Fiat?”
Fiat said with a chuckle.
“······Hmm. “To be honest, I’m a little nervous.”
“It’s a big deal. “A person who didn’t even flinch even when he lost his leg.”
“I’m not nervous because I’m afraid of doing something wrong. Just······”
Fiat stopped talking.
I asked back.
“Just?”
“My whole body trembles at the fact that I can once again walk the path of nothingness.”
“Thank goodness. There is a high probability that it will be better than before. I had a fight with the guy who had the surgery you had before. “It was a very strong enemy…”
“······Besides.”
Fiat continued, interrupting me.
“······My body trembles even at the thought of becoming your wife. ······Hmm, to be honest, I’m really embarrassed. “The day will come when I will be held in a man’s arms.”
“?”
