I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun - I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun chapter 33

33 – 33. The Real Couple

“..He’s so shameless.”

I pride myself on being familiar with most scenes after living for a thousand years, but for some reason, it infuriates me when these guys in front of me act familiar and call me their sweetheart.

How does this guy know everything about my true identity and my mana-engineering flux core?

“Sweetheart.. Heehee.. Sweetheart..”

God, please use your brain.

This is a serious matter that could cost someone’s life.

The person in front of me can’t coNT*Rol himself and is completely infatuated with a woman.

Just by observing his actions, it’s even possible to mistake him for a nine-tailed fox instead of me.

“To think that a few words could make a woman go crazy..”

Of course, I admit that he’s good-looking and capable.

They say he defeated the crown prince without a scratch when he entered Class A.

Even if it’s not that, just his knowledge about who I am is enough to make him highly regarded.

However, I don’t really like this guy.

“Why is this guy around Heidi…”

The reason this guy rubbed me the wrong way was that he seemed like he wanted to take Heidi away from my side.

It piqued my curiosity, and I was just a little curious about that guy and the girl named Heidi.

“It must be love at first sight.”

From the small, charming atmosphere to her cute appearance and her cheerful personality.

I liked her, and as I became more interested, I couldn’t help but notice Jack, who was often with her.

And for some reason, whether I knew why or not, he seemed to be keeping other men away from Heidi.

No, to be precise, I vaguely knew why he was doing this to Heidi.

“He’s just a scumbag.”

He’s probably trying to prevent other guys from getting close to Heidi and wants to have her all to himself.

There are even girls who adore him to the point that they can’t live without him, as if they think they won’t survive without him. Why?

…I also thought about that, but the saying that he’s a playboy isn’t just for show.

“If that guy saves me, I’ll have to repay the favor…”

I feel like I need to somehow fix that trashy mindset that can make several women cry.

Just looking at that blonde girl named Lucia is enough to make the world seem wonderful.

No, more importantly, how did he manage to captivate a guy like that, with a tan and a punk style?

A guy who walks around like a punk, but as soon as he hears the word ‘wife,’ he clings to her.

“He must think honey drips from her eyes…”

No matter how much I think about it, it seems dangerous to leave Heidi by that guy’s side.

I can already imagine that innocent girl calling Jack her husband and cooing next to him…

No, it’s already getting on my nerves. Let’s not even think about that terrible image.

“Lucia… Let’s talk about this now.”

“Ugh… I don’t want to… Let’s stay like this a bit longer…”

Now they’re hugging each other tightly, both sitting on my lap, and acting like idiots.

They’re barely twenty years old and haven’t even earned their living properly, even though they’ve lived for a thousand years.

It’s a bit strange to say these things to people who are fifty times older than me.

“Seeing them like this, I really want to vomit. Seriously.”

When I regain my strength later, I’ll have to break their spines with a single blow.

They’re just so… no, they’re despicable.

It took some time to stop Lucia, who had suddenly rushed in a frenzy.

She seemed to dislike being called “my lady” or “madam” because she was quite stiff.

I’m glad she seems to like it a little now. If Lucia is okay, I should call her like this more often in the future.

“hahahaha… Is this heaven?”

Looking at Lucia with a blissful expression while her head was being petted, it made me feel happy for no reason.

The only problem is that with Lucia occupying my lap and not coming out, everyone’s gaze is focused on us.

She herself doesn’t seem to care at all, and I don’t really care about people’s attention either. What bothers me is the poor waitress who just stands there, not knowing what to say and looking like she’s about to go crazy.

“In her position, Lucia and I must seem really strange…”

Being perched on my lap and making embarrassing sounds at a cafe, it’s even weirder that no one’s paying attention.

Besides, we still haven’t properly explained the Magitech Flux Core and what we need to do, thanks to this situation.

“Lucia, we really need to explain it now.”

We shouldn’t delay any longer, whether it’s the people in the cafe or Raoul, because it’s causing inconvenience.

I grabbed Lucia’s waist and gently sat her on the chair next to me before speaking.

“Since Lucia and I have something we need to do together, you need to listen carefully.”

“hehehe… Doing something together with me…”

It feels like the guy in front of me, Raoul, is looking at me like I’m trash, but it’s probably just my imagination.

While lightly stroking Lucia’s head like that, I wondered where to start.

“How much time exactly do you have left?”

I quietly asked him about the remaining time.

“Huh?”

Lucia made a surprised sound, but this is quite an important issue.

Even though I don’t know, his remaining time won’t be long.

It’s three days before the start of the main third episode, which is not even a week from now.

Raoul and his colleagues, including Heidi, tried to steal the Magitech Flux Core.

This means that Raoul’s remaining time is so short that they have to rush their plan.

‘But, if Raoul’s remaining time here is longer than the start of the third episode…’

There is a possibility that it will be easier to steal the floating core using the third episode.

The worst case scenario is if his lifespan doesn’t have more than 10 days left until the third episode begins.

Of course, I don’t think it will fail, but if it does, the plan will be more complicated because there aren’t enough personnel.

“…”

Anyway, after hearing my words, he sighed, as if it was difficult to speak, and tapped his head.

I reminded him once again that I am his collaborator and said in a trembling voice after turning my head several times.

“We have about two weeks left.”

“That’s a relief.”

“..what?”

Luckily, two weeks was quite a stable period.

Isn’t there still 5 days left even after the third episode begins?

The possibility of us three stealing the mechanical floating core, going through all that trouble, has decreased a bit.

“The truth is, it would have been difficult for us to break through on our own, you know? The academy’s ceNT*Ral area is where the floating core is.”

This was the part that Raul has been questioning all along.

He originally planned to challenge the core theft alone, risking his life.

To be honest, if Raul had executed that plan alone, it would have definitely failed.

At the time, when we were struggling because there weren’t enough personnel, how could he steal it alone?

“Since the ceNT*Ral area of the academy is the most heavily guarded place, it’s impossible.”

As it is a device that maintains the core of the academy’s facilities, they have even hired a private security company to protect it.

So in order to break through there, we have to neutralize the security company that protects it.

“In the original work, the spec swindlers like Heidina Nil were the ones who swept all of them…”

Obviously, we don’t have the ability to neutralize them all on our own.

“So, the best option we can decide on now is to neutralize the security company.”

I told Lucia and Raul this information, and they nodded as if they understood.

Then, after contemplating for a while, Lucia tilted her head and asked.

“So, in order to protect his life and extend it, we need the core or whatever it is. And it’s difficult for us to break through because of the strict security… Isn’t that it?”

“That’s a good summary, Lucia.”

Even though it’s the first time she’s heard the story, I’m satisfied with how perfectly she summarized it while patting her head a few times.

She laughed shyly and accepted my hand, then took her head off and added a question.

“But how are we going to make those security companies withdraw? Isn’t the employer the academy, not you?”

It’s a valid question. They won’t step aside just because we ask them to.

They are also working for money, and for security companies, customer trust directly correlates with reputation and profit, so they are very sensitive about this aspect.

“Since polite words won’t resolve this, we have to make them step aside.”

So, naturally, we have to create a situation where they have no choice but to step back due to external pressure.

Fortunately, we have two very definite ways to make the security company step aside, ways that could potentially shake the academy.

“hehehehe…”

As I thought about the successful future of our plan and chuckled, Lucia, who had been looking at me disapprovingly, muttered with a snicker.

“Jack, when you laugh like that, you look completely sinister.”

I did laugh a little sinisterly a moment ago, but did it really look wicked to others?

I let out a slightly uncomfortable chuckle, and Lucia also laughed and muttered in a voice that seemed half-spoken.

“It’s cuter when you smile like an angel.”

I couldn’t hear it properly, but it seemed like a strong statement.

I decided not to dig into what she meant. Ignorance is definitely bliss.

“No, even if you laugh like this, Jack is still cute.”

I did a good job pretending not to hear.

I grit my teeth and pretended not to hear while starting to explain the next plan.

I calmly received Lucia’s gaze, who was looking at me with a firmer look.

Why do you keep looking at me with those eyes, so intimidating?
