Elin, washed softly.

I came into Luke’s room.

To be exact, he came in Anne’s arms.

“Thank you, Anne.”

“No, well. I can do this much. You’ll have to work hard tomorrow too.”

“… … ”

Anne carefully laid Elin down next to Luke.

Ignoring the prickling of the back of my hand with the fool’s fur.

I looked at Luke.

“I’m just saying this just in case. You’re not going to touch the princess right now because she can’t move a finger, are you?”

“Not now, nor in the future.”

“I believe that my friend is not that trash.”

“Why on earth are you worried about that?”

He looked at Anne with a resentful look.

But Anne’s expression was full of distrust.

That’s the reaction I’ve been getting since I heard the story about Luke asking me to put him to sleep.

What can I do? It’s all karma.

While taking a deep breath.

Anne waved and went out.

“Good night, my lady.”

“Yeah, Ando.”

Click.

The door is closed.

Luke snapped his fingers and turned off the lights.

It didn’t take long for my eyes to adjust to the darkness.

Elin, lying next to me, is….

“I think you’ll fall asleep even if I don’t try to put you to sleep.”

His eyelids were already half-closed.

That was understandable.

Today’s training was incomparably harsh compared to before.

“… … No. I need to let you sleep.”

“The answer is also a beat late.”

Luke covered Elin with the blanket up to her chest.

It turned out well anyway.

It was also frustrating to be misunderstood so absurdly.

If Ellen sleeps well, today will go smoothly.

“If you don’t let me sleep, I’ll cry.”

“Where do you learn how to keep making threats?”

Ellen answered by just staring blankly at Luke.

“When on earth did I ever do that… But why am I crying so hard?”

“I thought the teacher would feel sorry.”

“I learned only bad things.”

Since when did Ellen’s personality become so twisted?

I wondered to myself, “Who taught you to do this?”

I realized that I was spitting in my own face.

“Would this be okay?”

Pat pat.

Luke patted Elin’s stomach.

I was curious about what it would look like if you cried.

It seemed too much to bother Elin, who had worked hard enough today.

“Yeah.”

Rumble, rumble.

Elin, purring like a full cat.

I felt like it would be better to just have Luke by my side rather than having him pat my stomach.

“Can’t you hug me?”

“No.”

“Even if I cry?”

I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with crying.

“They say women’s tears are weapons… .”

Just by looking at it, it’s clear that Bena and I exchanged strange letters.

“It’s because I’m cold. Hug me.”

Ellin realized that crying was useless and changed her strategy.

“There’s a blanket, so why are you cold?”

“I hugged the teacher when I put him to sleep.”

That was something the princess did on her own.

I couldn’t bring myself to say that.

Because I actually fell into a comfortable sleep while listening to Ellen’s heartbeat.

“… Only today.”

Luke let out a deep sigh.

I hugged Elin tightly.

Because of its small size, it fit perfectly in my arms.

I felt ashamed once again.

I can’t believe I slept so peacefully in the arms of such a small child.

“Thank you.”

“That’s enough to know.”

“I like it.”

“… … ”

“Do you know it?”

“No… …Good night.”

Luke was speechless.

He patted her head, telling her to grow up quickly.

“Koo… .”

Ellen quickly fell asleep.

Luke’s warmth was conveyed to my already tired body.

I couldn’t stand it because it kept getting worse.

“Haa… … .”

Luke sighed for the umpteenth time.

The ticklish breath felt in my arms.

Soft, smooth skin that occasionally touches and squirms.

My heart races when I hear the words, ‘I like you.’

Elin’s mere presence tormented Luke.

I fell asleep groaning in self-loathing.

I didn’t have any nightmares that day.

That fact made Luke even more distressed.

* * * * *

Three days later.

Ellen found herself quite relaxed as she dealt with both Anne and Luke at the same time.

In just three days.

Luke, judging that there was nothing more to be gained from Bertain, moved to Berkeley.

“I will help you.”

“If that’s the case… Yeah, I should help.”

Victor and Nia readily agreed to help with the training.

“… It’s still burdensome.”

“Please stop joking around.”

“That’s not a joke… .”

Elin didn’t look too happy though.

To train properly, the intensity had to be increased.

You really have to push yourself to the limit to improve your skills.

If you really push it, wouldn’t it grow in just three days?

“Are you really doing this?”

Five people gathered at the Bucklin training ground.

Luke firing a mana shell.

Anne, who strengthens and clings to her body.

Nia, who inherited the traditional battle magic of Berklin.

Victor, who handles battle elemental magic.

Coincidentally, the balance was right with two in the front and two in the back.

Elin’s stupid hair fluttered as if in protest.

“No matter how much I think about it, this is too much, teacher.”

“You can definitely do it, Princess.”

“The problem that can be solved by cheering―”

Kiing-!

Elin prepares to dodge as soon as she aims at the mana sphere.

He seemed to have adapted perfectly in three days.

BAM-! KWAANG-!

The floor of the smoke grenade is torn apart by the mana shells.

Elin strengthens her body with mana.

I hopped around lightly like a rabbit.

“Excellent.”

“I’m going this time too!”

Ppaang-!

Anne approached Ellen, bursting out in air.

Since he dodges so well, I decided there was no need to let him off easy.

I couldn’t even see it because I was running with all my might.

however.

Shu-

“Ugh… gasp… .”

Ellen opened a portal and moved without even flicking her fingers.

Luke shuddered.

Moving through space without any movement, without any warning.

Already, Elin was a superior spatial wizard than Luke.

“Ugh!”

Let’s try to have some free time again.

This time, Nia rushed in.

Phagecic-!

A spear of lightning formed at the end of a staff.

On the other side, Anne’s kick comes flying.

It’s already too late to take the portal.

Kwaaang-!

Elin summoned a mana shield in both hands and blocked all attacks.

It was a solid shield with the smallest possible surface area and the highest possible density.

Of course, Anne and Nia’s joint attack wasn’t over yet.

The spear of lightning becomes the spear of flame.

Pour out the water, then freeze it with cold air and stab it.

A fist that seemed to have multiplied into several fists rushed in.

As soon as it touched the mana shield and barrier, it broke.

“Wow… !”

Elin stumbled though.

Never pushed.

If the shield breaks, it will be re-summoned immediately.

It created a crack in the air and let all of Nia’s stabs flow out.

The result of capturing gaps without losing focus until the end.

Shu-

I got out safely.

Elin, who had barely managed to catch her breath, restored the barrier.

With a six-layer barrier.

“Gasp… Phew… .”

Sweat is pouring down like rain.

But my breathing was rough.

Elin was still standing on two legs.

This means you can continue practicing.

“You better not let your guard down.”

Victor swung his cane.

Arrows of fire rain down from the sky.

The moment Elin spreads her shield to block it.

Damn.

Ellen’s ankles were frozen.

Attract attention with a flaming arrow.

Double casting that spreads cold air to the floor.

“Didn’t I tell you not to let your guard down?”

Swish- crunch!

The shield that was being hit by the flaming arrows cracks.

If things continue like this, there’s a risk of being breached.

Elin closed her eyes and released all her mana with all her might.

Clang-

The ice surrounding my ankles shattered in an instant.

It was a crazy thing to do, something that was possible only because the mana was infinite, just pushing out with simple output.

Boom-!

Luke fired a mana shell to fill the gap.

“I’m not there.”

Elin has already moved.

Right in front of Luke’s nose.

“… !”

The moment when you try to compress your mana once again.

side.

Something soft and moist touched my lips.

Needless to say, it was Elin’s lips.

Swoosh… .

The compressed mana disappears.

It’s because my concentration was broken.

Wow.

Ellen fell into Luke’s arms.

“Haa… Haa… Today is the end, it’s over, right?”

Elin’s whole body trembles.

My body was screaming at its limits.

Luke held Elin back from falling.

There was a bewildered smile on his lips.

“… Yes, let’s end it here for today.”

Her lips were still moist.

Elin blocks and evades four attacks while also giving Luke a kiss.

He was a crazy genius that would never be seen again in the world.

* * * * *

I practice and complain of muscle pain.

Release it with a mana massage and then start practicing again.

I was spending another day of training complaining of muscle pain.

“Oh, this is a big deal!”

What was meant to happen has come.

Just as I was about to head to the training ground.

Private Bucklin rushed to find Victor.

“What’s going on?”

Victor was on edge.

I heard it from my younger brother.

Duke Bertain, who is after Elin, will do something crazy.

Because it was Berkeley, located in the capital, together with Bertain.

If there was a disturbance, Bucklin had a duty to suppress it as well.

“Ma, a demon… A large demon appeared in the middle of the capital… !”

At best, I thought they would send a great assassin.

It seems like they’ve decided to go in the direction of causing a complete mess.

Something like, ‘It won’t come out even if I do this?’

“They say that the weapon doesn’t work. The damage is increasing, so if we don’t suppress it quickly… .”

Tough leather.

A demon that only works with magic.

It meant to tell you to come out and not hide openly.

If there is a problem.

Elin couldn’t hide, lest she be swayed by the other person’s intentions.

In a situation where every single battle mage is missing, Elin is missing?

That’s a huge power loss and will soon lead to serious damage.

“Let’s go.”

Knowing all that, Ellen stood up straight and prepared to step forward.

“But… Is that okay, Princess? If the target is you, there might be a trap.”

He asked Elin in words and watched Luke’s expression.

“The princess is much stronger than you think.”

Surprisingly, Luke readily agreed.

“You didn’t even counterattack once, and you just let all four of our attacks pass. Even if there was a trap, you wouldn’t fall for it.”

I simply trust Elin, not for the same emotional reasons.

It was a logical reason to believe the data accumulated so far.

“… Okay. Let’s go right away. Have the battle mage unit standby. ”

“Yes!”

If it’s a large demon, it’s a much larger being than the Chimera that was subdued in the North.

All the power that could be gathered had to be taken with him.

While Victor prepares Bucklin’s soldiers.

Shu-

Elin opened a portal.

“Teacher.”

On the other side, a panoramic view of the capital city, reduced to scorched earth, comes into view.

A huge black bull that attacks everything it comes across.

Woof-

Elin pointed to the demon hand while drawing up her mana.

“Can I just break that?”

I thought I was going to die from the frustration of running away for over a week.

“Of course. Let’s release everything that’s piled up.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Unfortunately, the demon summoned by the demon followers had to face Elin’s pent-up anger.
