-Perhaps… could you let Karssein stay here for a day to rest?

Yesterday, after hearing those words from Harnier, Pollux wondered why she said such a thing.

The boy tried to save himself from being beaten in a bar.

They did not treat the Yarik people and the Imperial people differently, and although they were unique, I can assure you that their beliefs were not as wrong as theirs.

Even though they belong to the most powerful noble family in the Pesselos Empire, the Duke of Bagland.

So, we decided that there would be no problem if we proceeded with the transaction right away.

But, doesn’t asking to stay for a day mean delaying this transaction?

I had no intention of taking up the time of Karssein, who seemed busy.

Since I have to attend the Eastern Noble Meeting, I need to be prepared, and being Lord of Ruthmire is not a very leisurely position.

But after meeting Karsein, I was convinced.

Even if we just talk a few words. Just a light tap on the shoulder.

I knew enough.

Harnier saw it very clearly.

‘First of all, we have taken temporary measures by setting the terms of the deal as a couple, but I don’t know what will happen.’

Pollux sighed softly.

I asked Karsein to stay here for a day to recover and prepare for the sparring match in the best possible condition. You may also want to check your sleep time to resolve Dipeshan Syndrome. I think it was the right response in every way.

But if he doesn’t sleep, he’s just a sandfish.

He may have just woken up and warmed up first, saying he got enough sleep, but he may also be busy with work at this time.

anyway.

A sparring match with Karssein is scheduled today.

To announce the time, Pollux was heading to where Carcein was staying.

As I walk, an Inyoung vaguely catches my eye.

Was Carceine ending his sleep early as Pollux had expected?

If that were the case, Pollux would have sighed immediately.

however.

For some reason, the size of the seal is not that big.

When I stopped walking, it seemed like there was a passenger.

‘Ohh.’

Pollux stroked his chin and nodded.

Because he was a worthy person.

The identity of Inyoung is a woman with her face buried in her hands through her purple hair.

The personality that could not be hidden no matter how hard one tried to hide it was, by far, Harnier.

‘A woman who comes to the man’s room in the morning.’

-Nod.

My head nods involuntarily.

Looking at them now, they seem like a pretty good pair.

They do show some similarities, and they are both helping each other here and there, and they are in a good position for their affection to blossom.

I only saw it at a glance, but I also saw him pulling out of the carriage…

It’s refreshing.

It’s youth.

Wouldn’t it be okay to say that?

My heavy heart eases.

Pollux smiled and approached Harnier.

“How did you explain it well?”

“Huh, huh? Uh, when did it come out…!”

Harnier is startled.

Before long, you breathe a sigh of relief, as if you are glad.

Because the person who called him was not something he was very conscious of.

“Why are you so surprised? Did I do something big wrong to Karssein?”

“Yes? No, that’s not my fault…”

“Then? Did things not go well?”

“This is work?”

Harnier’s face immediately turned red upon hearing that things didn’t go well.

Pollux tilts his head as if puzzled.

“Well, didn’t you want to give Carcein some time to rest?”

That is the reason why Karssein stayed at the Marquis of Ipheros.

This is because Harnier asked to delay the transaction a little.

Due to her wish to give Karsein some time to rest.

“Stay here for a day and rest. Aside from that, wasn’t he trying to convince Karssein to accept that he was overdoing it by testing him with Dipeshan Syndrome?”

Harnier did not reveal his intentions, but Pollux accepted it.

Only then did the heat disappear from Harnier’s face, which had been burning brightly.

“Well, I succeeded in persuading him in a way. I slept through the day while dealing with Dipeshan Syndrome… Karssein admitted that he had been overdoing it.”

“Oh. Is that what happened? That’s good.”

Pollux nods, saying yes then.

If his condition had recovered today, all he had to do was adjust the sparring lineup appropriately and then continue the transaction.

However, on the other hand, the question has not yet been resolved.

“But, the upper part of Plesia. Where were you yesterday? I looked for it but couldn’t find it.”

“Yes? Are you looking for me?”

“Hmm. On the other hand, I was also worried. I was wondering if Carcein might have any side effects. I may have given the car a sufficient explanation, but I still wanted to ask what happened.”

“…”

“It would have been really dangerous to even get a chill this winter… but seeing as he said he was fine, it must have been nothing bad, right? Haha!”

Harnier’s cheeks turn red again at those words.

Anyway, Pollux continued to say what he wanted to say, but when he saw that Harnier was not responding, he carefully shifted his gaze towards him.

And then I notice something strange, and I immediately start sweating.

‘Now, wait a minute. ‘Is Plesia Sanjangju wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday?’

The costumes must have been widespread.

She is not the type of person who insists on wearing the same clothes.

Just then, Pollux’s eyes turn to one room. This area is where Karssein is staying.

Glancing.

Once to Harnier.

Glancing.

Also once toward Karssein’s room.

Was it because he really wanted to wear those clothes again?

…no. It’s not that way. It can never be that way.

Considering the direction I walked and the fact that I was looking back…

It was reasonable to assume that she came out of that room.

But…

Didn’t you say you slept well all day?

Harnier knowing that… all day long…

“Ahm! Hmm!”

Finally, he cleared his throat and turned around.

“Huh, huh! Oh, no. That could be… that’s possible, right! okay. It’s natural to care for sick people!”

Pollux stutters and turns around as if running away.

There’s no use making excuses. It does not change the fact that the truth that Harnier tried to hide has already been revealed.

The girl’s face turned red again.

“Hmm? Harnier?”

What is the action she takes as soon as she opens the door?

“Why are you suddenly approaching me… Ugh!”

He shuddered out of shame and hit Karssein on the back.

***

The bloody breakfast time passes without any time to recall the reason why Harnier got hit on the back.

I still don’t know why I got hit…

First of all, I felt like I knew what changes had occurred in my body.

▶Western region-only status abnormality: Dipeshan Syndrome disappears!◀

▶Stats that should have been reduced will remain the same!◀

A debuff that has never been lifted while playing this game.

From the time I stopped by Ipherus Marquis, even after clearing the episode, the status abnormality that I had been having disappeared.

Therefore, the stats remain the same.

You may not think it’s a big deal, but the meaning of having a debuff lifted is very significant.

The sparring with the Marquis of Ipheros is coming up now.

This means that there is a greater chance of passing the test with Pollux Tutulum.

but.

That possibility does not mean my victory is certain.

My insufficient stats will not reach Pollux who rushes in to test me, but I will be pushed back by a long way.

His vast experience would have a significantly different texture from my sword fighting experience.

so.

I had to be very prepared.

To avoid dying.

“Hmm?”

When I arrived at the sparring venue a little earlier than the scheduled time, I felt that he was popular and turned around.

I immediately drew my sword and took a stance.

“Hmm. There’s still time left for sparring. There is no need to start this early. It’s okay to relax your body a little more.”

“…”

“You are still impatient.”

Seeing no sign of backing down, he also points his sword at me.

“Carcein? There is no need to immediately lead to a sparring like this…!”

“Stop it. Top note.”

“…Pollux.”

“That boy has no intention of backing down. I guess so?”

“Okay.”

Nothing will change if we delay further.

There is only one way to clear this episode.

All I have to do is prove my skills in order to make a deal with Pollux.

“…”

Harnier had no choice but to step down.

Pollux narrowed his eyes and asked as if measuring me.

“Can you tell me since when did you pick up a sword?”

Since when?

It was a bit of a difficult question.

I don’t know whether to hold it based on ‘me’ or Karsein.

Then Pollux withdrew his question.

“No. That was a useless question. You will find out when you clash swords anyway.”

chuck.

“Go. Carcein.”

fault!

He hit the ground and quickly got up and approached me.

visor!

A chilling sound rang out.

***

When Karssein set foot here.

Pollux had already guessed once.

I stepped forward with the intention of doing something.

Even the eyes were different.

He is looking at himself clearly, but there is something sharp in his eyes.

What is inside there?

To find out, we ended up having to clash swords.

The opponent, Karsein, accepted it.

‘okay. I’d like to take a look at this now. What is that cold, sharp beast that dwells in your body?’

After a brief warning, Pollux immediately rushed towards Karssein.

All that was left was the sword’s conversation.

-visor!

The first sum is achieved.

It was a heavy union.

Pollux’s physical condition is overwhelmingly superior.

It must have been quite difficult for Carcein’s unfinished body to receive Pollux’s first sum.

Nevertheless.

He was not easily pushed away.

‘Hoo. Did he step back momentarily to reduce the impact, then support his body’s balance with his front legs and push it this way?’

Pollux narrowed his eyes.

It may be different in other matters, but in Dalian, I am sincere.

This attack was a sword attack that would have been knocked out in one hit if it had been a group of idiots holding only a sword.

They are regaining equal status through excellent judgment and calculation.

Following.

-visor!

By changing the route at once, they even looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

It’s a truck made by guys who are too busy blocking it.

This meant that even in the meantime, the thought of continuing from defense to the next attack was continuing in my head.

in other words.

It means that he is sincerely engaged in this sparring.

Let’s try a few more sums.

It was a good move.

Calculating and practical. Efficient movement is being made.

I’m sure I can’t praise you enough.

“…”

Pollux’s expression was dark.

Even though there were only a few hits, Pollux’s brows furrowed as he was drawn to the smell emanating from Karssein’s sword.

He soon furrowed his brows and thought to himself.

‘What on earth is this? This sword.’

How can a human sword feel so cold, dark, and lonely?

What happened to this young boy?

Is it possible for a person to be this angular, like a doll?
