Creepy-

Luke felt ominous when he saw Ellen’s sparkling eyes.

I feel like if I continue like this, it will have a negative impact on Anne.

“Thank you for coming. First, please sit comfortably… .”

He quickly intervened and interrupted.

Anne lies down in front of Luke with a pouty expression.

It was only then that I realized, “Oh no.”

“I’m sorry, I think I’ve been too careless.”

He sat up straight and lowered his head.

“Hey, is it okay for you to wake up?!”

Anne was startled.

He pushed Luke’s forehead with his index finger.

Luke falls down with a thud, powerless.

“Ha.”

Anne let out a bewildered laugh.

“Okay. It’s okay. Just lie down quietly.”

Even if the words are a little blunt.

A glimpse of her tender heart that could not be hidden was revealed.

“Only the princess… No. If only Elin had cared about it.”

Anne corrected her address, watching Ellen’s expression.

Elin shook her stupid hair as if she was okay.

“By the way, what happened to the orphanage?”

“I recovered everything. With Ellin… .”

Anne elbowed Gaelan in the chest.

“Thanks to my husband.”

“… … haha.”

Gaelan smiled with a mysterious expression.

I feel good knowing that I was of help to a senior I respected.

I am confused because I think I might have gotten my respected senior pregnant.

Of course, I had no intention of canceling the marriage just because I couldn’t get pregnant.

Because I couldn’t just pretend not to know because I took Anne’s first (Gailan was taken away, to be exact) and didn’t have a child.

… In fact, if you squeeze it like that, there’s no way it wouldn’t happen.

“Ugh.”

In the meantime, the knight who had his chastity stolen suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

Ellen and Anne’s conversation continued.

“Who are the injured children?”

“I treated it a long time ago. Well… it wasn’t like it was seriously injured to begin with.”

“Thank goodness.”

“It’s all thanks to Elin’s support. Family matters alone would be complicated.”

“Yeah. No.”

Ellen shook her head.

“It’s something I have to do. I decided to be everyone’s mother.”

“… … Did you really mean that?”

“What is this?”

Anne and Gaelan both raised question marks at the same time.

Their eyes met each other.

Anne didn’t have the confidence to tell everyone the story of how Ellen became their mother.

“There is something like that.”

I just brushed it off and passed over it.

“??”

Thanks to this, Gailan’s doubts were amplified.

Ellin, who had no intention of explaining everything in detail, continued speaking.

“What brings you here?”

“This kid… No, a friend I worked with for years who disappeared without me knowing asked me a favor. I wanted to visit him in the hospital and take a look at his hands.”

Anne gritted her teeth as if she had just remembered something.

Boom-

He approached Luke, releasing his hand.

“Ellen. Please help me.”

Luke looked at Elin urgently.

Meanwhile, Anne blew on her fingers and loaded the pistol.

If there’s one minor issue.

Woof-

That mana is being transferred to Anne’s fingers.

If you get hit by that, your skull might get split in half.

Luke sent a desperate plea to Elin for help.

“… I think my brother needs to be scolded a little.”

This time, Elin didn’t take Luke’s side.

After hearing Anne’s story, it turns out it was because Luke was so annoying.

“Don’t worry, oppa. If your hair gets split, I’ll take responsibility and fix it.”

“No, what is that…!”

“Stay still. If you get hit wrong, your eyes will pop out.”

Paaaak-!

Finally, Anne’s slap landed right between her eyebrows.

“Cough… !”

Luke lost consciousness for a moment.

* * * * *

Swish.

I lifted my eyelids.

A faint consciousness gradually emerged.

Forgotten pain comes rushing back.

“Ugh… .”

I felt like my head was going to burst.

No, it seemed broken.

Because I was rubbing the space between my eyebrows.

“Are you up?”

Ellen came closer to me with her face.

“Hmm, it’s stuck on cleanly.”

“… … Yes?”

“Here’s the introduction. Luckily, Anne split it up neatly so it stuck together well.”

“What is that… .”

I frowned at the incomprehensible sound.

Ellen continued asking questions without paying attention.

“How are you feeling?”

“Is that okay… huh?”

Luke answered absentmindedly.

Clench your fist and unclench it.

“… … ?”

He tilted his head.

Obviously, I still need to get treatment from Bertain one more time.

Strangely, the blood vessels are clean.

Mana Hearts spin powerfully.

The last memory I have before losing consciousness is the moment of trembling in fear before Anne hit me with her fist.

That means….

“Did you focus the pain on your head and treat other areas?”

That is the only conclusion that can be drawn.

“… What? Are you hurt in the head?”

Of course, that wasn’t true.

Ellen immediately corrected Luke’s stupid misunderstanding.

“When my brother lost consciousness. My ancestors visited me.”

“Yes?”

Luke looked out the window.

The sun was still high in the sky when Anne arrived.

But now it was waving its hands and setting.

“How much time has passed?”

“Except for the few times I woke up after getting hit by Anne and getting treatment from my ancestors… I think I was unconscious for half a day.”

Today is the last day I receive treatment from Bertain.

Bertain, seeing the fallen Luke, said this.

-Oh, that’s good timing. Today will be the most painful day. Tie it up tightly! I’ll treat it right away. Baby, you drain some of the blood that’s gathering in your mouth.

The final treatment started without me even realizing it.

Bertain carefully pieced together Gernom’s soul and perfectly connected Luke’s torn soul.

In the process, the black blood that rose was all taken out by Elin to an extra-dimensional space.

“How many times has it happened? You don’t remember at all?”

“… Yes. None.”

During the treatment, Luke regained consciousness several times.

-Kreuk, ugh… .

Every time, I lose consciousness again due to the excruciating pain.

“Anyway, it turned out well. You didn’t feel any pain in the end, right?”

“As a result, I see.”

Luke wondered if this was right.

I decided to let it go, thinking that it was a good thing.

Exactly.

If you flick your finger, your inventory will open normally.

Woof-

Because I was able to take out Mana without any problems.

I’m trying out various spatial magic to see if it’s really been fixed cleanly.

Hot.

Ellen grabbed Luke’s wrist.

“You shouldn’t be so excited that you think you’re all better and use magic spammily.”

“… I just experimented with a few things.”

Luke isn’t a kid.

I wouldn’t be so reckless as to ruin my body that I worked so hard to heal on the same day.

“Collect the mana quickly.”

But Ellen stood firm and stood up.

Luke wanted to clean up the blood he had spilled in his inventory last time.

I had no choice but to scatter all the mana I had raised.

“Good job.”

Then Ellen stroked Luke’s head.

“Sometimes I think Elin sees me as Anna the dog.”

“… … ”

“Why don’t you deny it?”

I was just joking.

I’m confused because there’s no response.

Let’s look up at Elin.

“… That might not be exactly wrong.”

Slowly avoid eye contact.

“Huh.”

Who do you think has been the one to raise you like this?

Luke is at a loss.

I pulled Ellen’s ball.

Since my body was completely healed, I felt quite strong.

“Ugh… .”

Ellen’s cheeks stretched out like rice cakes.

I felt an urge to test how far it could stretch.

“So, does Elin like children or animals?”

“Mi-ah-nae… … .”

A stupid hair that droops down.

Glistening eyes.

Even the voice that crawls in.

I let him go because I thought he was showing some signs of reflection.

Elin, holding her blushing cheeks, muttered quietly.

“It seems right because you always disobey and do whatever you want.”

“… … ”

This time Luke slowly averted his eyes.

It was because I didn’t have the confidence to refute that statement.

“Ahem. When did Anne go back?”

The topic changed naturally.

“I’ll knock you out and then. I’ll prepare what you asked for, right?”

“Ah.”

Anne pretended to be angry.

As expected, he granted my request.

“I guess my sacrifice between my eyebrows wasn’t in vain.”

Luke smiled faintly.

If Anne will grant my request, I’m ready.

“Ellen. Do you remember the promise we made before?”

“What kind?”

“The day we decided to go on a date. If all goes as planned, it’s tomorrow.”

Ellen made her stupid hair into a question mark shape.

“Didn’t you say there was something to prepare? But you, oppa… .”

I could guess what it was going to be about without even hearing the rest of the story.

Luke must have figured that he hadn’t had time to get ready since he’d been lying around all day.

“There are many ways.”

The corners of Luke’s mouth went up.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of the unexpected surprise he was going to give me.

“You asked other people?”

“… … ”

Of course, the process was discovered right away.

It’s okay because we still don’t know the results.

Luke continued, pretending not to hear.

“If you have time tomorrow, would you like to go on a date with me?”

“Hmm… .”

Ellen crossed her arms and shook her stupid hair.

Actually, even if you called it a date, the content was obvious.

Enjoy the beautiful streets.

Eat something delicious.

While walking around talking.

I’ll confess in the evening.

Is it because I have Bena as a friend?

Because I occasionally read romance novels, I could clearly see what would happen tomorrow.

but.

It makes sense that the opponent is Luke.

So what if the date content is obvious?

The opponent Elin will face is not the male protagonist in the novel.

The person who will walk with me on this pretty street is Luke.

Luke is also the one who will feed you delicious food.

Luke is also the one who will confess at dinner.

The person who will be welcomed as the groom.

The father of the baby that will be born later is also Luke.

Because I think Luke would be so happy if he filled Ellen’s seat next to her.

“Can I expect it?”

“Of course. We will make it the best moment.”

“Hehe. Then… .”

Even though I knew the outcome was obvious.

“Okay. Make me the happiest.”

I gladly accepted the offer.
