Conflict (3)
It’s already spilled, so you can’t pick it up. After realizing my mistake, all I could do was apologize.
Experience has shown that it is better to apologize right away if you are aware of a mistake. The big fights between team members during my career as a professional team were always caused by small things piled up little by little and then scorched.
Rather, it is ironic that the guys who usually fight while raising their voices did not cause any major problems. I didn’t know that fact when I was active duty, and only after I became a coach, I realized it from an objective point of view.
Park Noah didn’t know it would be like this, so she waved her hand.
“Oh, no. I didn’t say that to get an apology.”
After all, it would be better to tell this now.
Beware of Olivia Roa. She seemed to have a somewhat deep relationship with Noah Park, but there were two reasons for bringing this up now.
First, to reduce the feeling of repulsion when trying to subdue after knowing the reality of Olivia Roa.
…Secondly, the person who hears this story is Noah Park.
Since he is not the heroine Oh Yun-ha nor Arwell, he is a double-faced protagonist, so if he only reminded him that he is his enemy, he might be able to get cooperation.
‘Besides, I just said it.’
At least I have confidence in what I do because of my experiences so far. In the end, the reaction I just had to do is only to have displeasure because I did it blindly.
“Noah. I told you to tell me in advance, so I’ll tell you.”
“First of all, Olivier…”
what. I stopped talking to the floating system.
Does this mean that Arwell is nearby? I raised my head and looked around.
“···I knew it.”
It wasn’t Arwell’s voice that was heard then. Me and Noah Park turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
Aiden was approaching this way with an angry expression on his face.
“Uh…”
“Eh, Ellen?”
Behind Aiden’s back, he could see Arwell sticking his head out of the wall. He seems to be looking into this side.
Aiden came up to me and grabbed the hem of his sleeve and rubbed it around my nose.
“uh? . . . Ugh.”
“Stay still.”
As if blood was still flowing, the fabric was quickly dyed red. Even though blood would be difficult to wash, as he continued to wipe it, he covered his nose with his hand.
“it’s okay. Just wash up later.”
“Oh yeah. Is it because of my clothes? You can throw it away and buy a new one.”
Aiden smiled lightly and spoke, then quickly changed to a cold face. Then he turned his body and said to Noah Park behind him.
“…that’s why you came here?”
“Ellen. There seems to be some misunderstanding…”
“Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, does it make sense to hit me like this?”
Park Noah looked at me and Aiden alternately in a cold, cold tone of voice, showing that she did not know what to do.
Aiden looked at Noah Park with a distorted expression.
“Aren’t you doing this for a general war?”
“What! Not like that!”
“Then what happened?”
“that······.”
Noah Park looked into my eyes and closed her eyes. She wanted to think for a moment, but she quickly opened her mouth.
“I have something to do with Jihan.”
···okay. This is not what I’m talking about.
‘Faith’ or doing the ceremony on the 25th floor is not something that Park Noah can easily bring up. But I couldn’t even say it rudely.
Aiden snorted outright as if he knew that.
“Hey, Noah Park. If I say that, of course I have no choice but to think in a bad way, right?”
In the end, it was ambiguous, but I had no choice but to mediate. As I put my hand on Aiden’s shoulder, Aiden glanced behind him.
I said with my nose covered.
“It’s not really a big deal, so it’s okay.”
“Well. If Jihan said so.”
Luckily, Aiden took a step back. The problem, however, is that an awkward silence has begun to circulate.
‘···It seems that something happened.’
The relationship between Park Noah and Aiden, who seemed to be on good terms recently, seems to be creaking. I glanced at Noah Park.
Park Noah met my eyes and shook her head. She’d be better off not saying it either.
“I, miss.”
Maybe he had heard the commotion at that time, but yesterday the old woman secretly appeared. It was obvious that he had seen all of this, but he didn’t seem to care. ···Should I say that I have time for this?
“yes. What are you doing?”
Aiden approached and talked for a while, then flinched.
“Is this time?”
“yes. He said he wanted to come early.”
“Aiden, why?”
When I asked, Aiden turned around with a puzzled face.
“My mother said she will be here soon.”
“······really?”
It’s still early in the morning, isn’t it?
Great Hall on the 44th floor.
It was the same on the 44th floor as the sun had not yet risen. In the center of the prayer room, there is a huge stone statue basking in warm light. The figure of a girl with closed eyes, modeled after a stone statue, was ‘Gran’.
In the spacious prayer room, Saint Albain was praying with her eyes closed alone. squeaky. The sound of a huge door opening from behind filled the empty space.
“What are you doing dangerously alone?”
When Arthur Grand’s voice rang, the saint stopped praying and got up. Albein looked back and said with a smile on her face.
“Sir Arthur. I’m sorry for calling you since morning.”
“no. After all, it was time to pray.”
Arthur, walking to Albain, looked at her suspiciously.
“So what’s going on?”
Albain glanced at Arthur, then pointed to the ego sword he wore around his waist.
“Did you drive today?”
“I’ve been wearing it ever since that day.”
Arthur gritted his teeth. It seemed like a lot to ask for.
“How can the saint take my weapon as she pleases? Even at the sports festival…!”
“You said you were sorry. Anyway, I brought it today and it worked well.”
Arthur felt uneasy for some reason at the words of the saint. The sense of a first-class paladin began to signal a crisis.
Whether he knew it or not, Albain coughed and started talking.
“Hmmmm. I have something to discuss about calling Sir Arthur. This time, the Yoosung Academy is about to conduct a big operation, and he asked for help.”
“Are you asking for troops like last time? It doesn’t matter if I go.”
“no. It’s a little different this time. They told me that I had to move quietly, so I couldn’t get help from outside forces.”
“That sound…”
Albain nodded at Arthur’s reaction.
“yes. It’s not about the military, it’s about supporting other things.”
“Who is running the quest?”
“It was probably a quest from a newly created special class. It is safe to say that they are aspiring heroes.”
“Hmm. Is there anything else I can apply for other than holy water or something like that?”
Albain smiled strangely at those words.
“So, there is a good way.”
“What? If it’s the next saint candidate…”
“That’s what Astiel will take care of. Rather, Sir Arthur’s weapons are relics, aren’t they?”
“Yes, of course. Not now, but it was once a holy sword. But why are you asking that…?”
Because of what had happened, Arthur was defensive about the weapon’s question. The instinctively wary tone made Albain smile.
“Ahaha. I heard that Seo Ji-han was going into that special class.”
“If you are an aspiring hero, there is nothing strange about it. Do you plan on giving him a separate support and enticing him to join the temple again?”
“It is not. This time he won the overall event.”
“Five! It’s something to celebrate.”
“Sir Arthur, do you know what the injury of winning an all-round championship is?”
Arthur thought about it, then shook his head.
“I do not know. I was too busy to listen.”
Hearing Arthur’s answer, Albain smiled and said.
“It’s a relic-class weapon. Isn’t that great?”
“That’s fine…”
As Arthur answered, he felt a stinging sense of uneasiness and paused. Because it reminded me of what the saint had asked before.
“… Saint, please.”
Arthur stared at Alvain with trembling eyes, but to no avail. Albein, her squint, clapped her chin and pointed to her ego sword, which she had already held out her hand.
“So, give it to me.”
“…Oh, Granny.”
Arthur muttered in a vain voice.
Aiden’s mother returns soon.
Upon hearing the news, everyone scattered to wash because they were not talking. I couldn’t even finish the conversation properly, so it goes without saying that we broke up in an awkward state.
‘What about Aiden and Noah Park…’
With such worries, I wiped my nosebleeds, showered, and then changed into the clothes handed over to me. It seemed that the clothes I brought were shabby.
‘I came to my friend’s house to play, but I want to be like this.’
What. If it’s polite or something like that, you should. The person I will meet from now on is one of the people who has a big influence on the wizarding world.
“But why is this so good?”
I put on all my clothes and looked in the mirror, and the clothes handed me fit just right, as if they were made in my size.
“It’s like Ellen made a custom order for you.”
I looked back in surprise.
“hi?”
. It didn’t feel popular at all. Did you come by magic?
“You are the one Ellen talked about.”
Aiden’s mother, who was blonde, looked alike so much that I wondered if Aiden would have grown up like this, except for the fact that it wasn’t a characteristic of the family. Besides, whether she managed it by magic, she looked like a sister with a big age difference from Aiden.
“···hello. Nice to meet you.”
I grasped the situation and immediately bowed my head and said hello.
“I am always indebted to my daughter.”
“What is the situation?”
My mother answered with a smirk. I wondered if it was because of prejudice or if it was sarcastic, but the words that followed were not like that.
“Rather, our Ellen would be in charge.”
“yes? No, that’s…”
“I am quite objective in my evaluation of my daughter. In the past, he was a guy who only believed in his skills and had no arrogance, but these days he does a lot of cute things. Am I supposed to be human?”
My mother got up from the bed, spewing out words without hesitation. She then came up to me and patted her on the shoulder.
“It’s changed since I was talking about you, so I’m grateful for that.”
“Oh, yes…”
It’s softer than I expected, but it has a charismatic tone. No, it would be strange to not have as much influence as the Aiden family.
Aiden’s mother took a step back.
“Anyway, I’m sorry to startle you. I came here first because I had something to say.”
“Are you talking to me?”
“okay. Oh, of course, the next time we see each other, will we see each other for the first time?”
My mother put her hand on her chin and looked me up and down carefully.
“Ugh. As my daughter said, it would be correct to say that you are an irregular. You must have never learned magic, have you?”
“···okay. I guess so too. Because the body already has many properties mixed in.”
It seems that he quickly noticed the attributes of my mana whether he had any skills or not.
Aiden’s mother whispered as if the examination was over, smiling brightly with a look similar to that of Aiden.
“Probably like that, after a few months, my body will explode and die.”
The content was shocking.
I was trying to figure out if I had misunderstood what I had just heard, and I quickly realized that it was meaningless. It was just stupid to open your mouth and ask a question.
