episode_0039

After Elin’s one-sided declaration of friendship.

“The man misunderstands here…!”

“… So, so what happened?”

Bena aired soap operas nonstop.

Ellen, an avid viewer, was deeply absorbed.

A fluttering fool’s hair.

A gurgling, swallowing spittle.

Fists clenched tightly in concentration.

It’s definitely a cute Elin look, but… .

“Ahahaha… .”

Nia was bored to death.

It’s not the first or second time that the summoning magic puppet show has been amazing.

We’ve been doing puppet shows for over half a day now.

This is… This is not the Youngae gathering I was thinking of!

Nia cried inwardly.

No, why.

Isn’t there that kind of atmosphere at Youngae’s gathering?

Let’s share some tea together.

Chatting about small things.

If you have a favorite English word, you can shyly share it with others!

I wanted to laugh and say things like this with my peers.

Reality was a never-ending puppet show hell.

Shh shh shh shh.

Finally, Ellin applauds as the 9th puppet show ends.

“Is there another one?”

Elin, who shakes her stupid hair without giving herself a moment to rest, wonders if there was a big incident involving a doll (it is true).

“Of course! Gulp… Just have a drink of water… … .”

I feel like my throat has been sore for a while now.

Bena couldn’t control her anticipation and prepared for the next stage.

no.

I can’t let them do another puppet show.

Nia jumped up with a determined expression.

Clap, clap.

Let’s clap our hands to get attention.

“How about taking a short break?”

“What.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Elin and Bena open their mouths as if they realized Nia’s presence.

Ugh.

For a moment, tears almost welled up in my eyes.

Nia smiled with her skilled ability to control her emotions.

“Puppet shows are fun, but I feel like only Bena and Youngae suffer.”

“Oh, no, that’s not it, kolok kolok… .”

Elin escapes from the puppet show to reality.

I checked Bena’s condition and opened my mouth slightly.

“… I’m sorry. I think I pushed myself too hard.”

“No no no no… I had so much fun, Your Highness, this is absolutely not something you need to apologize for!”

Benna added about 112 reasons why Elin did nothing wrong.

He gulps down water because his throat is parched.

“What.”

Then the water ran out and nothing came out of the kettle.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll ask you to bring the tea.”

Nia called the maid waiting outside the room.

“I’ll bring it to you right away.”

The gap that occurred while the maid went to get the tea.

“I think you enjoyed the puppet show today, right?”

Thinking this was the moment, Nia opened the gate.

“How about we stop the puppet show and chat for a bit?”

“Hmm.”

“Joe, I like it…!”

Ellen nodded.

Bena clenched both fists.

“… … ”

And then the silence fell.

Elin has only ever had a conversation with Luke.

After the puppet show ended, Bena became nervous again.

“… I thought about it, how about organizing the titles?”

In the end, the only one who could lead the conversation was Nia.

“Title… ?”

“Yes. We are all chosen as promising wizards, and we will be seeing each other often in the future. We are also similar in age.”

But it didn’t matter.

Because Nia could do anything as long as she didn’t watch puppet shows.

“So what I’m saying is, how about we speak more casually?”

He said something shocking that he would never dare say in a political setting.

Even if they are young ladies of similar age, they don’t start talking this quickly.

In fact, even if you know each other for several years, most of the time you still show respect to each other.

but.

Nia needed a friend.

They are not friends who keep in touch with each other for a purpose between families.

A pure friend who you date because you really want to become close and have feelings for that person.

“Okay.”

“!”

Ellen accepted immediately.

“Can I call you Unnie?”

“!!!”

On top of that, he even called me older sister first.

“Okay, then. Hehe… .”

Nia had to fight back the corners of her lips from rising.

What kind of relationship is it between ‘friends who talk’ among the young ladies?

On important days, we exchange gifts with each other.

Sometimes we meet for no reason.

Confiding in each other’s worries.

This was exactly the ‘friend’ Nia had been wanting.

Of course, Ellen didn’t know it had such a deep meaning.

Not only were there no friends, there weren’t any girls my age around me.

It was just a simple favor.

the other side.

Compared to Elin, who lets go of words easily.

“My, my, how dare I… … .”

Bena was in a state of panic at a simple word.

Let’s take a peek inside her head right now… .

What, what is it?

Why are you asking me to stop talking?

This is our second meeting, is that okay?

Have I ever done something that you liked?

Do you happen to want to interact with the Nisen family?

But my family has no one to put forward other than me… No, no, if you think like that, it would be disrespectful to the family… … .

Or maybe… you really like my puppet show that much?!

…like this.

As you can see, it was a very chaotic situation.

As Bena continued to fuss, Nia smiled softly.

“There’s no need to feel burdened.”

“That’s right. We’re the same age.”

The confusion grew even worse when Ellen also joined in.

…is it really okay?

Really?

Do you dare to speak comfortably to such wonderful people?

Bena, who had been asking herself this question several times, slowly opened her mouth.

“Then, only when we’re together… .”

“It’s hot, so eat carefully.”

“… That won’t work either. You two can speak comfortably… … .”

My voice suddenly became quieter because of the maid who suddenly came in and poured me tea.

“Hmm. We’ll have many more opportunities to meet in the future, so please be more relaxed next time.”

Nia, who had a regretful appetite, passed over it naturally.

Asking for more here would be nothing more than pressuring someone to show off their status.

“Then since we’re friends… .”

Huroop.

Nia, who had poured some tea, gathered her courage.

“There’s something I really wanted to do. Can you listen to it?”

“Of course! But what are you talking about…?”

Benaga tilted her head.

Ellen made her stupid hair into a question mark shape.

“Reading.”

“Reading?”

“Among them…reading romance novels together.”

It was a dream I always wanted to try with girls my age.

Screaming while reading the ticklish lines.

If there’s something frustrating, let’s get angry together.

In the touching ending, they shed tears together.

I wanted to have the emotional exchanges I couldn’t have when I was a promising magician named Nia Bucklin.

“Love story…! I love it so much!”

Bena, who was so serious about the story that she even wrote a puppet show script, nodded vigorously.

“Yeah.”

Elin shook her stupid hair as if it didn’t matter.

“Follow me. I’ll show you to the library.”

An excited Nia headed to the library with Elin and Bena.

* * * * *

chin.

I put down the novel I had rented.

[How to tame a wolf]

A romance novel with a total of six volumes in the series.

“I was lucky today.”

It’s not too late to read it when you’re a little older, it’s the same book that I wouldn’t lend you, saying the same strange things.

Today, I happened to be able to borrow the entire volume because my grandmother was out of town.

“Is it okay if I bring it as I please?”

“I left it on the rental record, so maybe?”

Shrugging her shoulders, Inia picked up Volume 1 of [How to Train a Wolf].

A cover with dreamy letters on a red background.

“Then shall we read it together?”

“Like… .”

Nia and Bena clung to Elin.

“Ugh… .”

But Elin, who was stuck in between, made an uncomfortable sound.

No one could care less.

“Gasp… !”

“Oh my… .”

[He sucked her lower lip and ran his tongue over her teeth. His hands touched her plump… … ]

A scene that starts with a love scene from the beginning.

The obscene sentence proved why the book’s cover was red.

Tub.

Nia closed the book without realizing it.

“…? What are you doing?”

Elin tilts her head.

He was very close to me and we read the novel together.

It was surprising that he closed it without even reading a few sentences.

“Excuse me, did you not understand the scene just now?”

Bena, her face reddening, asked stammeringly.

“Yeah.”

“… You haven’t received sex education yet?”

“Huh? What is that?”

An answer couldn’t be more pure than that.

Nia and Bena’s eyes met in the air.

At that moment, they acquired the ability to communicate with just their eyes.

‘What should I do? It seems like Elin doesn’t know anything.’

‘Ah, isn’t it too early for the princess to read this book?’

‘I guess so?’

Elin seemed to be of the opinion that the baby needed to be protected.

‘wait for a sec.’

Nia’s hand, which was about to return the book, suddenly stopped.

‘Should I just check a little more? It might not be like that from now on.’

Nia Bucklin, 14 years old.

It was an age when there were many things to be curious about.

‘… Is that so? If you feel like it won’t work, just stop reading… .’

Bena Nissen, 13 years old.

A girl who is so passionate about stories that she writes novels and creates puppet shows on her own.

There was no way I could tolerate such provocative and obscene text.

Nod.

At the same time, the girls nodded and continued to turn the pages of the book, unable to contain their curiosity.

“Ugh… … .”

Even though I was so embarrassed that steam was rising from my face.

“Ugh… .”

I kept gasping for breath, but I didn’t stop reading.

“Um… .”

The only one who is dissatisfied with this situation is Elin.

[…cry some more, until I like it.]

What the hell is this?

I never understood why men and women enjoyed doing such things.

Rather, the person next to me is blushing and getting hot.

Elin, who was caught in between, only increased the discomfort index.

It was he who saved Elin.

-Your Majesty, are you here? It’s dinner time.

It was Luke’s voice coming from outside the door.

“Huh, huh?”

“ni, Nia… What should I do with this…!”

“Uh, uh, for now, here… !”

While Bena and Nia were startled and hurriedly hid the book under the blanket.

The liberated Elin walked over and opened the door.

Click.

“Phew, phew… .”

Nia managed to hide the book just in time for Luke to come in.

“Teacher.”

Prison.

Ellen ran to Luke and hugged him tightly.

“Have you been here the whole time?”

“Yeah, Bena showed a puppet show.”

“You haven’t only done puppet shows so far, have you?”

“No, Nia just brought me a novel… .”

Elin’s voice trails off anxiously.

Knock knock knock.

The instinct to sound the alarm when you see the shaking fool’s hair.

Nia and Bena moved their feet without realizing it.

“Um, but teacher.”

Elin raises her head and opens her mouth with an innocent face.

“What does it mean when a man and a woman mix their tongues―”

“, Elin!”

“Princess!!”

“Euboopeup… .”

Ellen’s mouth was instantly shut and she was dragged away.

Nia and Bena’s faces were so red they were indistinguishable from tomatoes.

Pushik – and the steam came out of my head.

“Ugh-?”

As the two reacted so intensely, Elin’s head tilted.

From that day on, Elin became curious about new knowledge.
