It was two women who came out to meet us.

One was an older, middle-aged woman who appeared to be a knight, as she was wearing armor.

On the other hand, the other one was very young. She, who appeared to be Karen’s age, followed behind the middle-aged woman, dressed neatly in a navy blue blazer and pure white pants.

When they appeared, one adventurer opened his eyes wide and said.

“Isn’t that the academy uniform?”

Those words caused a stir all around.

“What?”

“Are you talking about that academy I know?”

Several adventurers responded in disbelief, looking like they couldn’t believe their ears.

“How do you know that is the academy uniform?”

The adventurer who spoke for the first time in response to someone’s question spoke emphatically, unable to contain his excitement.

“I saw the academy students when I came to the capital before. I was wearing exactly those clothes at that time.”

As she said this with a blushing face, her gaze was directed towards the younger of the two women.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the woman I assumed to be an academy student.

“Definitely… .”

I was skeptical at first, but the more I looked at it, the more confident I became.

The clothes were reminiscent of school uniforms or uniforms, and the aura emanating from the person itself was unusual.

There was a strong feeling that he was a child of a prestigious family attending the best educational institution in the empire.

“Wow, that stain is no joke.”

Beside me, Becky lowered her voice and exclaimed.

“Ah, if I were born as a nobleman, I would have three wives and have sex with different husbands every day.”

“You really are a woman of unparalleled filth.”

“It’s not that I’m strange, that’s how women are. I’m just a little more honest than other people.”

“Throw away the idea that just because you are, all other women are also like that. And being honest isn’t necessarily a good thing, right?”

“Hey, you don’t know women very well. It is every woman’s dream to receive the cum of several men in her vagina.”

Becky’s eyes flashed with base desire. For some reason, I felt creepy.

“So, just because you are that kind of woman, don’t think that all women are like that?”

“Hmm… . Karen, how about you?”

Becky, who was looking at me and twitching her lips, suddenly asked Karen a question.

“Yes?”

Karen, who had been listening to our conversation with a red face, asked back in a voice with a hint of embarrassment.

“How about me? What is that…? .”

“It’s like this again. Do you want to keep acting innocent? You are a woman who knows everything. Don’t act like a virgin.”

“Well, even if you say that… .”

Becky clicked her tongue lightly.

“It’s because women are this shy. What happened, are you satisfied with just Ethan oppa?”

“Hey.”

This was clearly a question that crossed the line.

“You keep saying-”

“I-”

Karen and I spoke at the same time and looked at each other with wide eyes.

Does this mean that it is with all my heart? It was coincidental timing.

Karen looked at me with a surprised face. Soon, a determined light appeared in her eyes.

“For me, it only takes one person. There is only one person I love.”

“Karen… !”

My heart warmed at the answer that was full of love for me. I felt love for Karen welling up in my heart.

“Ugh… I asked for no reason.”

We exchanged deep glances and reaffirmed our love for each other. Becky, who was watching this, shook her shoulders as if she was fed up.

The impure bully who did not know the beauty of love could not withstand the sweet air that flowed between me and Karen and eventually declared surrender.

“Ugh, I lost, I lost. is it so. Have a good love, everyone.”

Becky raised her hands and shook her head. It was good to take a step back, but it seemed like a proper warning was necessary.

I frowned at Becky.

“Watch your mouth next time. There are things you can say and things you shouldn’t say.”

“I have no intention of doing this anymore. When I see my brother and Karen fooling around, my side feels empty and itches.”

“And don’t teach Karen anything strange. If I get caught up in something bad because of you, I really won’t let you go.”

“Hey, do I look like such a bad bitch? How could you do something mean to your kind and cute little brother?”

Becky said, raising her eyebrows.

“Don’t worry. ‘Because I don’t do anything bad to Karen.”

“… … .”

In a split second, an insidious gaze quickly swept over my body from head to toe. Cold sweat broke out from my back at the short but explicit signal.

“Good love, Karen. This girl wants to seduce the arrogant men in the capital.”

“Ahaha… Cheer up.”

“There is no need to support something like that.”

“There is no recognition.”

“Just get slapped by a man.”

“Karen, why does your boyfriend keep treating me poorly?”

“That… Didn’t your sister bring it on herself?”

“Karen, even you… .”

While we were exchanging words of support and encouragement, the top was ready to leave again. As if we had finished talking with the people from the academy, our driver raised his voice towards the rear of the group.

“Let’s go again!”

At those words, the carts and carriages that had been stopped began to move, making a creaking sound.

“It’s finally a real capital… !”

Expectant voices erupted from everywhere.

Karen, I, and Becky stopped our conversation and imagined what the capital city would look like beyond the castle walls. A magnificent sight that I have never seen before.

The wide open castle gate gets closer and closer. The scenery inside, which seemed breathtaking, gradually widens.

And finally-

“Wow… .”

We had set foot in the capital in the truest sense of the word.

“… Should I just live here instead of going back?”

The sight of the city unfolding before my eyes was so overwhelming that those words came out naturally.

Clean, well-maintained streets and buildings that exude sophistication. I could feel the excitement of the colorful crowds moving up and down the streets.

People were busy looking around with their eyes wide open, like country bumpkins, at a sight that was incomparable even to Quien.

But unfortunately, we were not given time to leisurely look around the streets.

The top went forward without stopping, and we kept turning our heads in all directions as we walked.

Meanwhile, an adventurer pointed his finger toward the sky.

“Over there! Look over there!”

Because the voice was quite loud, the people around them looked up with puzzled faces.

I also raised my head and looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

“That… ?”

Where the adventurer pointed, a winged animal was flying majestically in the sky.

It looks like a small dragon. When I looked closely, I saw that there was a person on top of it.

Karen, who was next to me, said in astonishment.

“Wyvern rider… ! I’ve only seen it in books, but I never thought I’d see it in real life.”

The attention of most of the group was drawn to the wyvern flying with its wings spread out with great vigor. Everyone’s eyes sparkled, perhaps because it was a rare sight.

As expected, the response from women was especially hotter than from men.

Everyone was impressed by the empire’s renowned war weapons… I felt uneasy.

‘I never thought I’d see that again…’ .”

I looked at the wyvern with mixed feelings.

It was definitely a look that would attract people’s popularity. Well, since it is a subspecies of dragon, it would be natural.

However, as someone who encountered it directly on the battlefield, I could not admire it as cool as others.

‘It was terrible… .’

During the past war, perhaps trying to show the kingdom the difference in power, the empire sent out wyvern riders and trampled the kingdom’s troops.

The lethal weapons falling from the sky and the wyverns’ flaming breath took the lives of both soldiers and knights.

Luckily, I was out of the attack path and didn’t get hit directly.

Nevertheless, the memories of that time remained and tormented me from time to time.

The struggle of those whose whole bodies are melting and the nauseating smell of their skin being cooked.

‘… … .’

It burns with a flame so intense that the heat can be felt even from afar. Their desperate screams stick to my ears and won’t go away.

“Baby.”

Spear knives cannot reach, and arrows cannot pierce thick leather.

“Baby?”

The chant of the ally wizard, the only hope, soon turns into a tearing cry.

The commander, who kept shouting for advancement, became pale and speechless and died without leaving a last word.

Soldiers who have lost their will to fight turn their backs and begin to run away, followed by the imperial army –

“Ethan oppa!”

“… … !”

I suddenly came to my senses when I heard Karen’s voice. I looked to the side and saw Karen looking at me with a worried face.

“Are you in pain somewhere?”

I tried to calm my shortness of breath.

“Uh… no. It’s okay.”

“Is it really okay?”

“Okay then. I didn’t hear you call because I was thinking about something else for a moment.”

“… Let me know whenever it hurts. You don’t have to hide that from me, so don’t suffer alone.”

“I understand. Thank you Karen.”

I tried to force a smile to reassure Karen, but it didn’t seem to have any effect.

She still gave me a worried look. But no more words, just,

Come on.

They just held hands quietly.

“… Karen.”

Warm sincerity is conveyed from the joined hands. This is why I love Karen.

Feeling the warmth of my loved one in my hand made me feel more at ease.

We walked in step together, connected to each other like that.
