134. Sepia getting married? (One)
* * *
“Are you staying at the Lynchester Barn again?”
Sepia raised one eyebrow slightly.
That’s Sepia’s body sign that comes out when you face a situation you don’t like or feel uncomfortable with.
It seemed that he didn’t know that the expression on his face showed everything.
Sharp eyes were staring at me. If you shoot with Sepia’s unique cat teeth and eyes, you don’t know what gesture to make.
“yes. I have to train during vacation to become stronger.”
“It’s training again… ? What are you in such a hurry for?”
“Yes?”
I asked in a puzzled voice. Sepia, holding the tableware, let out a small sigh.
what’s so urgent
Although the original story line has changed a lot, it is time to enter the second act.
Of course, fully prepared… .
“There you are. Ethan… . Every time I see you, I feel like I’m being chased by time… .”
“… … ”
Obviously, over the past year, I have diligently tried to become stronger. I kept running to get stronger.
He practiced every day, mastered magic, and followed the lessons of the academy.
The reason why they became stronger was not the grandiose cause of saving the world. There was one reason I ran around in this twisted world.
I did what I could. No, I did something that only I could do.
So, all the good intentions I did could be said to be for me.
The future of the world has become unclear, questions about unresolved possession, and even questions about my existence.
Until now, whenever I faced something unresolved, I turned my gaze to the outside.
Because I wanted to get rid of that thought.
I’ve been deliberately ignoring my heart.
In the end, even when the battle was painful, even when I was in danger of dying, all I could do was grit my teeth and endure.
“that… , You can go a little slower… .”
Sepia was biting her lower lip. Sepia’s habit of doing something when hesitating.
“sepia… .”
Suddenly, I thought that although my body had become stronger over the past year, my mind might have worn out without realizing it.

Just like you don’t perceive that you are sick until you are sick.
Because I couldn’t divulge my secret to anyone.
Now, I think I can understand why the regressors in the novel were so mentally devastated.
Can I lean on someone here and tell them my secrets. It couldn’t be.
“Thank you for your concern… . Still, I’ll take care of what I have to do.”
“… … ”
Sepia set the tableware down until it clattered. He still hadn’t eaten half of the steak on his plate.
“Once in a while… . No, do you know that you have completely changed in the past year?”
You probably don’t want to be like Ethan.
I really have no idea what kind of guy this guy was. So if it’s now, wouldn’t it be okay to ask?
What kind of guy is Ethan, who has the same face as me?
“Who was I?”
“What kind of person were you… ? So… .”
Sepia suddenly stopped talking. It was as if he forgot something while trying to say something.
“Reticent but loyal… , No, he was kind and caring.”
Reticent but loyal?
It seemed that there was quite a distance from me now. In the end, the answer I could give was decided.
“I see.”
Silence came again.
The meal ended in silence. It was the sepia side that stood up first. She seemed to be thinking a lot.
We trudged out of the restaurant and stood on the street. A bleak aura filled the streets.
“I’ll let you know if I can get in touch with Yuffy-sensei… . In the meantime, have a good vacation.”
Sepia left those words behind and walked away. I was standing in a city with a low gray sky.
It was a day that made me think a lot.
* * *
Sepia returned to Logness Class.
A familiar room greeted her. The structure of the room has not changed at all from when I left for summer vacation.
The maids in Logness’ class were well aware that she disliked having her things touched.
That’s why I didn’t carelessly touch the structure of the room or even a small item.
The familiar desk, furniture, and even the dressing table all looked plain, and it was far from an aristocratic lady’s room.
However, Sepia, who hates flashy things, liked them. There was a clang and the door closed.
Sepia leaned against the door and sighed.
‘Ethan… . What happened to you?’
No matter how you think about it, it was strange.
In the past year, Ethan seemed to have become a different person. Is it because I’m getting older?
Maybe that’s why I became a little more mature?
Sepia laid out the sorcery book Lemegeton on the desk.
Last time, Remegeton said he would tell the truth to three questions.
There are only three chances of a lifetime. Still, maybe I could use it at least once.
After a long thought, Sepia picked up a quill and wrote on Remegeton.
-hi? Long time no see.
-It’s been a while. My master, Sepia. What’s going on?
―You said last time that any question will tell you three truths, right?
-Yes.
The quill stopped in mid-air. I couldn’t blow away three chances with useless questions.
―I want to know how to inform you, but this shouldn’t be regarded as a question, right?
―Does the owner have to trust his possessions so much to use them?
Sepia smiled at the answer.
I read it in an old fairy tale. I had to be careful when supernatural beings like demons taught me anything.
―Ah, can’t you believe it?
―I am a sorceress who knows all the truth of the world. Ask anything at any time.
Even a light provocation returned a violent reaction. He seemed to be proud of himself.
―Ah, if you do that again and ask anything, you’ll say you’re done with one question, right?
Remegeton did not answer for a moment.
-under! good night. I’ll show you my power especially this time. Ask where you want to ask.
-great. Still, I don’t know what people mean. If you ask Ethan to name his favorite characters in order, what kind of answer will he get?
Sepia asked with the mindset that it would be worthwhile to make a living. He didn’t have to refuse to show off his strength.
Soon the letters were written slowly on the paper. However, Sepia, who received the answer, was taken aback.
―Ethan doesn’t like anyone.
A lot of questions filled my mind. I even thought that Remegeton didn’t know what to do.
‘Ethan doesn’t like anyone?’
Is it possible for a person not to like someone at all? Could such a person exist in the world?
-lie. Ethan likes me.
―Ethan doesn’t like anyone. I’m closing the door of my heart That’s the truth.
Sepia wrote with a tight grip on her quill.
―Then guess who I like?
-Are you testing me?
-okay. I’m testing you.
―Sepia von Logness loves Ethan. did you get the answer? Doubtful owner.
At that answer, Sepia hardened like a shadow. Because it was sincere and true.
―Ethan really doesn’t like anyone? Is that possible? How can a person not like someone at all?
Sepia wrote the questions in her head incoherently.
Suddenly, Sepia remembered the day she closed her heart as a child. The days of being locked in a room without meeting anyone went on for a long time.
At that time, it was Sepia who opened the door alone and came out. I believed that I opened the door with my own power and came out.
―Are you asking books about human affairs? It’s literal. Ethan doesn’t like anyone.
-Don’t talk nonsense. Are you really going to break it up and throw it on the beach?
Perhaps the threat worked, Lemegeton didn’t answer for a moment. However, a sentence soon appeared on the bookshelf.
– Were you too unkind? Ethan doesn’t want to have a deep relationship with anyone right now. In that way, the door to the heart is closed.
-What is the reason? Why?
Sepia bit her lower lip.
―My answer ends here. If you are curious, use the opportunity.
It was impossible to answer only the truth forever.
‘You said you closed the door of your heart? Because Ethan lost his memory? What is Ethan’s lost memory?’
My mind was intricately intertwined.
Sepia finally decided to ask the first question.
―Okay, my first question. Now tell me about Ethan’s lost memories.
Only after the sentence written by Sepia disappeared did the answer come back.
―The current Edan has no lost memories. The one who lost her memory is you, Sepia von Lognes.
Again, it was an incomprehensible answer. When Ethan asked me to tell him about his lost memory, he said nonsense that he had lost his memory.
“hey! You really have to rot under the sea to come to your senses!”
Sepia shouted in a voice. But Remegeton was a book. Since I couldn’t hear Sepia’s voice, there was no way the conversation could be established.
smart.
Then a knock was heard. Sepia covered the Remegeton to make a cracking sound.
“miss. This is Vivian.”
“yes! come in. Vivian.”
Entering the room, Vivian studied Sepia’s expression.
For some reason, Sepia’s expression looked complicated, like a messy mixture of heartache, anger, and bewilderment.
“The head of the house is looking for you.”
“Dad me?”
“You are looking for it by the name of the head of the family.”
Search by name of head of household.
It didn’t mean looking for personal reasons. It meant that he was looking for Sepia for an official matter related to his family.
“Okay? When can I see you?”
“I told you to bring me now.”
“Yes… . Okay. I will prepare.”
My heart is already complicated, but since the head of the household is looking for it, I had to meet him first. Soon, Sepia moved to the cozy drawing room.
“Sit down. Sepia von Lognes.”
“Sepia von Lognes, see the head of Logness.”
Sepia lifted her skirt slightly to show her respect. When I met her solemn eyes, I felt a sense of tension.
“Come here and sit down. sepia.”
Sepia, sitting across from her father, Halion, rolled her eyes for no reason.
“How was life at the academy? Didn’t you receive an award in the magic field this time too?”
“Yes. I guess I was very lucky.”
“Luck is also a skill. And making luck is also a skill.”
At Halion’s words, Sepia nodded.
“You are right.”
“As you know, the Logness family is more gifted with magic than any other family in the Empire. In that sense, making luck is also skill.”
Sepia looked at Dangju. I felt ominous. However, whether he knew it or not, Dangju continued talking.
“I believe you are well aware of how the Lognes family is born with magical talent and how they pass it on to future generations.”
At those words, Sepia was at a loss for words.
“… … ”
“As the father and head of the family, I knew a good matchmaker. See you sometime.”
And the ominous prediction did not go wrong this time either.
The reason Dangju found it was related to the arranged marriage, which had always been a worry in Sepia’s heart.
“father! I… , I think it’s still too early to get married.”
“You too will be twenty-one after this month. Do you think that a marriage of convenience will make your married life bad?”
Not all married couples are unhappy. At that time, Sepia’s mother was also a magician who came to Lognes class through an arranged marriage.
That’s how I met Halion and lived a happy life.
“I… . But I… .”
“You cannot stay a child forever. See you soon.”
The two hands on her knees trembled.
There was no justification to convince the head of the family. Sepia finally nodded her head with a disapproving look.
