episode_0025

As hours passed, Faberde’s body showed no signs of improving.

Somehow it got hotter and hotter.

Hands shaking slightly on pale skin.

“cold…”

As she was sleeping, she talked softly in her sleep.

It seemed so cold that even his body was shivering.

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even eat the porridge I brought earlier.

“Wait a moment.”

I got up to get the porridge again.

I was about to leave, but her hand grabbed my sleeve.

“Don’t go…”

“…Whew.”

A lot of things happened with Faberde over the past 7 months.

Although he sometimes showed a childish side.

Nevertheless, it was my first time showing such weakness.

A completely different appearance from the dignified instructor she was until now.

“What are you going to do when you wake up later?”

I sighed and sat down again.

Nevertheless, her hand did not let go of my sleeve. On the contrary, his grip became even stronger, as if he would never let go.

“…Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”

While saying that, I tried to pull my hand away again, but it was no help.

Then my clothes will tear.

In the end, I gave up trying to push her hand away and ran my hand through her hair.

Then he placed his hand on Faberde’s forehead and lifted the hair that was stinging her eyes.

Where can I find a disciple like this? I should feel blessed, but tsk.

After finishing arranging my hair, I still held her hand on my sleeve.

“It’s cold.”

Even though I put a wet towel on it, sweat is coming out more and more.

I held Faberde’s small, thin hand tightly with both hands.

Although she usually nagged me a lot, she was my teacher anyway.

In a world where there are only two of us, my teacher is the only person on my side.

“So get well quickly. Don’t get sick.”

I closed my eyes.

.

“…Trainee A. What is this situation now?”

I woke up to Faberde’s dry voice.

It was already evening.

In the meantime, Faberde’s hand was firmly holding my sleeve, and I was also holding her hand with both hands.

She saw the scene with her own eyes and spoke calmly.

“Let go.”

“huh.”

I immediately released my hands.

“I want to hear what the situation is. Do you think I remember correctly? Say no.”

It was a dry voice, not a cheerful laugh like usual or a cold, dignified voice.

But I know.

“Whatever you think, it’s true.”

“…Can’t you just tell me it’s a lie?”

“It’s a pity, but once I see it, I can’t forget it until the grave.”

“Right.”

“okay.”

The conversation that continued smoothly for the first time in a long time ended with her calm appearance.

Faverde, unable to accept the unfortunate reality, calmly covered himself with a blanket until the end and accepted his fate.

I carefully avoided the place.

May your blanket and pillow rest in peace.

“Aaaaa!! Jeezraaal!!”

After about a minute of penitence, I went back into the room and saw that she was wearing a completely ripped blanket all over her head.

“I have never been so ashamed in my life…”

Faberde was so embarrassed that his pure white ears were turning red.

It’s cute differently than usual.

“Let’s eat something.”

Faverde’s eyes narrowed as he tried to ignore her and held out a spoon filled with porridge.

“Trainee A. I am not a snotty little boy. Disrespecting my teacher is…”

“If you don’t want to eat it, don’t eat it. I’ll eat this.”

“Hmph! I didn’t say I didn’t want to eat. Now I see I have no patience.”

“……”

When I tried to put away the spoon, she got up like lightning and took the porridge and ate it.

I couldn’t help but be moved by the proud face that showed no trace of shame.

I wanted to tell him to eat the porridge himself, but seeing that his hands were still shaking, I thought it would be better to just feed him.

She stared at the dead body as if she, too, was having trouble.

I’m hungry, but I have no energy, and I’m going crazy.

“eat.”

“Ugh…”

Now that Faberde was weak was an opportunity.

We need to create as much black history as possible.

“I will make sure to repay this grudge, no, this favor…”

Faberde ate the porridge like a cat. At the same time, her face turned slightly red.

I have a bad cold.

I scooped up the porridge again and held it out to Faberde’s lips. She ate the porridge, shaking.

After repeating this a few times, I ran out of dishes.

“This is the second time in my life that I have felt this much shame…”

“There are a lot of things to be ashamed of.”

After a hearty meal, she went back to bed.

“Huh… I’m feeling better now.”

After regaining some vitality, she briefly stretched.

I couldn’t help but avert my eyes at that sensational scene.

When my gaze moved away from her, she poked my cheek in dissatisfaction.

Still, when I didn’t respond, he weakly tapped my shoulder.

…I guess I’m bored.

I’m bored because I’m full.

“Even if it’s not fun, I don’t know.”

“It’s okay, just try something.”

I’m not sure about Faberde’s actual age, but there are things that women, regardless of generation, like in common.

Awesome drama.

It’s not a joke, it’s a terrible drama that my friend’s older sister’s girlfriend’s in-laws also like. I don’t know why there is a demand for it though.

When I asked a friend, he said it was about the pleasure of relationships between characters, but women are fascinated by it anyway.

“I’ll tell you a story I heard before. It’s about a love triangle between an emperor, an empress, and a female knight.”

“It’s a cliché setting. It feels like a third-rate novel that would have been sold on the street in the past.”

Uh um.

It was written by a friend I know. How did you know?

Faberde’s expression became sour as if he thought it was a trivial story.

“It’s a hundred years too early to make me laugh with such third-rate stories.”

I continued speaking, ignoring Faberde’s lumpy face.

“It begins when the knight meets his lord.”

.

“…So, what happened next? Did the two of you end up connected?”

“The emperor abandoned the knight and chose the empress.”

“Rotten bastard..! I knew it would happen. I knew it would happen..! That bastard was a playboy by nature!”

At first, it seemed like he was listening half-heartedly, but as the plot began to unfold, Faberde’s expression changed.

The change in the female lead’s expression was especially remarkable whenever she went through hardships.

After all, people watch makjang dramas because they are curious about what happens next.

“In the end, the emperor and the knight are separated forever.”

“…That’s the ending?”

She gave a vain look of disbelief.

“It doesn’t make sense. The knight went through a lot of trouble because of that bastard and bastard! He must have endured it, shedding bloody tears every time he cheated..! I can’t understand an ending like this.”

Faberde’s hands trembled as he accepted the shocking bereavement ending with his whole body.

This is why makjang dramas are scary.

“I devoted myself so much to the emperor, but then he died… without even seeing him for a moment…”

“Calm down. Calm down.”

“Whoa…”

Faberde barely regained his senses and tied his loose hair back. To be exact, I tried to tie it, but I couldn’t tie it because my hands were shaking.

“…That doesn’t make sense. I can’t understand it. I can’t understand it…”

“……”

I didn’t expect to be this shocked.

Come to think of it, Faberde said it was his first time hearing this type of story.

In other words, I was caught up in the sad ending drift from the first story I heard.

Even if I was wrong, I was definitely wrong.

I ruined the newbie.

“…I said that, but it’s sad that it ends like this.”

In the end, I opened my mouth while criticizing Han Soo-hee, the author of Hako, for throwing away the ending this way.

All you have to do is change it.

“Actually, the emperor did not die, he was alive. That’s how he met the knight again, and the journey ended for a hundred years.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t they say the emperor was dead?”

Faberde looked at me with a puzzled expression and said. I begged him to save his life, but now he’s asking for probability.

So, how on earth did the emperor live?

power of love? This is so cliché… hmm.

“The knight told the emperor. Don’t die.”

“…What is that?”

She looked as if she had lost steam and was dumbfounded.

“He remembered those words at a critical moment, bowed his head, and was able to live like that. In the end, the knight saved the emperor’s life.”

“Hmm…”

Faberde’s scraggly face softened a little.

“Anyway, it’s good that the two of you are connected. Although the knight is much more of a waste than the child who gets fried to death in lava like that…”

She pulled up the blanket again with a satisfied look on her face.

“So, is there anything else to talk about? I hope the guy isn’t a flirt this time.”

“It looks like you had fun.”

“Hmph. I’ve said it several times, but such third-rate novels can’t touch my feelings.”

“Is that so? Then now let’s go to training…”

“Joe, if you listen a little more, you might change your mind..!”

In the end, we talked about romance novels in front of Faberde all day long.

The expressions on his face that changed rapidly every time he entered the final scene were diverse.

When the cider part came on, he solemnly nodded and listened, and when the sweet potato part came on, the way he rolled up his blanket and cried while making kimbap was a work of art.

The reaction is so good.

It was already well into the night, but neither I nor Faberde had time to worry about such trivial things.

In this world where there were only two of us, she was my support.

A lot happened after that.

It’s been a year since I entered this world.
