117. Hey! jealous… . I’m jealous!
First day of fall break.
Sepia lay face down on the desk in the dorm and glanced at the crystal ball for no reason. I thought about texting Ethan.
After this week period was over, it was the final exam period.
It’s time to get busy studying again. In the first semester, my grades did not go well beyond my expectations.
Fortunately, thanks to meticulous study for the final exam in the first semester, I was able to settle into the 15th place in the entire school. It was all thanks to Vivian.
She gave Vivian the amount of study and paper tests, and even graded her essay.
If it had not been for Vivian, it was dizzy to think of what the ending would have been.
My grades would have plummeted, and I would have never dreamed of going anywhere during summer vacation.
“eeeing! boring… . Where are you all and what are you doing!”
Currently, Vivian was preparing for the week-long entrance exam.
Otherwise, Sepia would have chatted while drinking tea with Vivian.
However, even in Sepia’s eyes, Vivian’s talent was too good to be left untouched.
Vivian was talented in swords, spears, bows, hand-to-hand combat, and even magic.
Sepia recognized such talent first and recommended Nea’s entrance exam.
‘Vivian must be busy right now, right?’
Sepia, unable to bear the boredom, manipulated the crystal ball. It was Ethan who sent the first text.
―Edaan! where are you? Where are you doing?
―I’m out of the academy right now because I have something to do.
While thinking about asking what it was, Sepia texted Tesha.
―Tesya! Where are you doing? let’s play with me
-oh! sepia! I’m in North Barn for a while now!٩｡•̀ᴗ•｡
It’s fall break from today, what is Sepia doing now?｡•̀ᴗ-✧
Surely, you are not already preparing for the final exam, are you?
So, should I be a little nervous? Sepia might lose the ranking!(•̀ᴗ•́) و ̑̑

My daughter and I sent one line, but the reply back to Tesha was 12 lines. In conclusion, since he is busy right now, it was about meeting him later.
This time Sepia texted Anya. There was no reply. It looked like he was fighting a bear with his bare hands while climbing the mountain.
Eventually, I contacted Arthur.
– Arthur, what are you doing?
―Oh, I’m on a date! oh! Arianne is glaring! sorry! Call me later!!!
Arthur, who was watching Ariane in the cafe, was good in his eyes. Sepia pursed her lips and touched the crystal ball for no reason.
‘Should I contact Tia?’
Tia was also friendly, if that’s the case. Because while fighting and reconciling, I felt hateful affection.
―Tia, it’s me! sepia. What are you doing right now?
The reply came after a while.
-what? sepia! What happen?
―No, not really. Do you have to contact me for something?
Why is it so hard to say that we will meet and have a cup of tea? Though puzzled, Sepia wrote a text.
―That’s right. Um, but right now I’m very busy.
-okay? I see… .
Tia laughed at the text message revealing a lot of regret. Currently, Tia was helping the Herze Merchant.
The academy entrance examination period, which only comes once a year, was a good opportunity for the grand prize.
Big and small troubles arose between hotel bookers, reference book buyers, and chocolate buyers, and Tia was adjusting them while gaining practical experience.
No matter what anyone says, she was the successor to the Ergé Grand Prize.
―Hey, do you know what Ethan is doing?
Tia grinned at the letters floating on top of the crystal ball.
Like her heart, Tia wanted to participate in the North Barn auction along with Ethan and have fun shopping.
‘Huh, Sepia, I’ll give it to you on this date.’
Soon after, a long text message arrived from Sepia. It was about Ethan participating in the North Barn auction house.
As soon as she received the text, Sepia packed her things and headed to North Barn.
‘Hee hee! I have to surprise you!’
Fortunately, Subspace had a premium membership to the North Barn Auction House. The Logness family also had a history of participating in the North Barn auction house.
In Tia’s literal sense, Ethan could also attend social gatherings. So if Sepia was occupying one table at a socialite party, that meant she might meet Ethan.
That’s how I waited for Ethan in the corner of the social circle.
Before long, Ethan entered the social world. Although they were far away, there was no way that Sepia would not recognize Ethan.
I was so happy that I hurried over to say hello.
But Ethan was not alone.
He was with a beautiful woman. Blue eyes that went so well with blonde hair, and the woman was beautiful even in sepia.
‘ah… .’
Sepia couldn’t easily approach Ethan.
The two exchanged various conversations. As if Ethan was joking, the woman occasionally smiled enchantingly.
‘Hey, I’m guessing he’s acting as a lover?’
I’m not a lover in the social world, but I used to make a partner who went in and out together that way.
‘I know very well that you are a man. You may not be able to hold back your blood for a moment. But if you make a mistake, you’d better come outside and solve it.’
Sepia had said that to Ethan at some point. It was around the time Tesha had an accident with a quill in the club room.
However, to say that was the case, the woman oozes cuteness. Jealousy welled up in one side of my heart.
I didn’t want to admit it. But obviously, that feeling was jealousy.
‘too bad! really… .’
Someone approached the sullen sepia. It was a man dressed in a black suit.
“hello. It is an honor to meet a beautiful lady in a place like this.”
At that greeting, Sepia glared at her opponent. However, Sepia soon smiled generously.
“I have a partner.”
It meant that since I had a partner, I shouldn’t be fussing around. Sepia turned her eyes to the table where Ethan was.
Before he knew it, Ethan and his partner were climbing the stairs to the second floor.
‘Pa, partner… . Hee… , I want to be Ethan’s partner too… !’
Sepia hurriedly made her way through the crowd to the second floor. It was not easy to move because the social circle was crowded.
When I arrived at the hallway on the second floor, only a blonde woman was standing in the hallway. Suffocating, Sepia glared at her opponent.
“Oh? hes a cute kid Who are you?”
“What about Ethan?”
“Ethan went into his room.”
It was only then that Sepia was able to smile slightly. But I had a lot of questions. Sepia lowered her voice and asked.
“who are you?”
“I asked the question first. Hey. Who are you?”
“Sepia von Lognes. You are the legitimate successor of the Logness family, and you will become the lord of the Logness class! Now it’s your turn. Who are you?”
Aphrodite smiled at such a bold child. Even at a glance, it seemed that he was deeply in love with Ethan.
“If you open yourself up like that, you’re not attractive.”
“Huh? I’m not attractive because I’m talking about it… ?”
“Remember. A woman is beautiful only when she has a moderate amount of secrets.”
The woman approached Sepia while making an incomprehensible sound. She whispered in Sepia’s ear.
“If you like it, go quickly and attack Ethan.”
“Cover, cover? Come over! vulgar and filthy… .”
“Whoops, the courageous one wins love.”
Sepia took a step back and smiled. The woman still had a beautiful smile, but Sepia noticed.
“You tried to seduce Edan and failed, right?”
“uh… ?”
Aphrodite was embarrassed. Because that was true.
“I did it by chance, but it seems to be true.”
“… Are you a funny kid?”
“Do you know why Ethan is like that? Ethan likes me.”
Sepia whispered in the woman’s ear. He told himself that sleeping in the summer was cute.
If it was Tiana Tesha, I might be okay with it, but I never wanted to share Ethan with a woman like this.
“The day we spent the night together, I said I was going to die of cuteness.”
“Foot! Fuhahahaha—!”
Aphrodite laughed at this cute girl. Like I said, it was so cute I thought I would die.
All the men she was with admired her beauty. It’s not that I said it was cute.
Cuteness couldn’t beat beauty. At least that’s what Aphrodite saw.
“Honey, even chickens are cute when they are chicks.”
“What, what? … Aren’t chickens cute when they’re chicks?”
“Are you all curious about how long that cuteness will last?”
Aphrodite turned coolly and walked down the hallway. Eventually, she opened the door to Room 204 and waved to Sepia.
“Cheer up! What a cute little boy.”
“No, someone said I was a kid!”
Eventually, the door closed and Sepia stood in the hallway. The next day, Sephia was caught following Ethan.
* * *
A restaurant in North Barn.
Sepia glanced at Ethan. I had a lot of questions. Looking around the restaurant, I saw quite a few lovers.
The ambience of the restaurant itself was good.
But the atmosphere was just fine. Sepia’s head was full of questions about the woman.
But it was not easy to ask. To ask, he had to confess that he had watched Ethan with the woman.
For no reason, Sepia sipped only water.
‘Yeah, but I wonder who that woman is!’
Currently, Ethan was staring at the menu with indifferent eyes.
“Hey, hey, Ethan!”
“ah? what’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing.”
That’s what I was asking outright. Ethan laughed as he watched Sepia mumble.
It was a warm laugh.
Sepia herself didn’t seem to know, but if she had any questions, she would evade things like that.
“what. Do you have any questions?”
“ah… . So that’s it.”
“What is it?”
“You know that. who is that woman?”
After speaking, Sepia looked at Ethan’s eyes. Sepia hastily added a lame excuse.
“Ah, so I happened to see you and a blonde girl from a distance yesterday in a social circle. I didn’t know much at the time because it was far away, but for some reason I thought it was you, so I suddenly remembered… .”
Ethan thought of someone for a moment and then smiled.
“ah… . The woman! I don’t know, she’s a woman I don’t even know.”
Even if I told her it was Aphrodite anyway, there was no way Sepia would know who the goddess was.
Aphrodite was definitely a goddess from another dimension.
Soon, Sepia heard from Ethan how he had accompanied the woman by chance.
Ethan touched the lucky ring once.
‘Did I meet Sepia because of the lucky ring?’
Soon after, the clerk took the order. Sepia rolled her eyes and looked at Ethan.
“Sepia, what were you going to buy at the auction?”
“uh? Auction? Oh, just what and what?”
Sepia laughed awkwardly and evaded it.
“Be careful. I think the auction organizers planted people among the bidders.”
While the food was being served, Sepia had to listen to the auction’s notes from Ethan.
Edan took out a catalog and even told me the appropriate price for the artifact. As Ethan, he hoped that Sepia would not be solicited at an expensive price.
“uh… , uh, yes, thank you… .”
It was a story of no interest to Sepia. All her attention was on her date with Ethan.
“You’re trying to buy a teddy bear that will be up for auction tomorrow, right? You like teddy bears.”
Ethan pointed to a teddy bear in a catalog item. It was a gentleman teddy bear with a bowler hat and a mustache.
“A teddy bear? Yeah, I like it, but… .”
Oddly enough, Ethan was well aware of Sepia’s likes and dislikes. He knew he hated toast.
That was something Vivian didn’t even know about. Because when Vivian prepared toast, she just ate it.
‘I know my likes and dislikes better than Vivian… .’
These were things that could not be known unless you watched yourself carefully for a long time.
‘How much memory has Ethan lost… .’
Anything like that could have been learned through Remegeton. Because Lemegeton said he would tell the truth to three questions.
Sephia glanced at Ethan. Again, it was a careless eye.
‘I hope the price of jewelry doesn’t rise too much at tomorrow’s auction… .’
Ethan raised his head while thinking about that. I saw sepia with seasoning on the corner of my mouth.
“Hey, sepia.”
“Uh?”
“I got seasoning on my lips.”
Ethan handed over the tissue with nonchalant eyes.
Sepia couldn’t take her eyes off Ethan for a moment.
Careless yet well taken care of. I’ve also heard of Sepia. To call such a man a bad man.
‘Bad Guy… !’
When she first heard of such a type in the social world, Sepia snorted. I even thought it was childish.
If you like it, shouldn’t you express your liking properly? But Ethan didn’t come that way.
It seemed to be caught, but it was more regrettable and more affectionate that it was not caught. Sepia wiped her lips and met Ethan’s sharp eyes.
Eyes as black as obsidian, black hair that went well with them.
‘Bad Guy! A man like Ethan was a really bad man!
Calming her pounding heart, Sepia put her hands together around her chest.
‘cool… ! the best!’
Actually, after experiencing it myself, I felt like I knew why everyone loved ‘Bad Boys’.
