I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun - I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun chapter 38

38 – 38. Clearly a Couple

“…”

“Mi.. Sorry, even I admit it was a bit much..”

When we looked into the mirror we bought on the way, we tried to wipe away the lingering kiss marks on our faces, but they wouldn’t budge.

Not to mention the violent traces left on our neck and collarbone.

Thanks to that, about half of the people passing by us were blushing while alternately glancing at me and Lucia.

“But at least they didn’t touch your lips till the end…”

As I mentioned the only consolation, Lucia, who had sulkingly pouted earlier, brightened up, proud, and pushed her chest forward, as if the buttons on her chest were about to burst.

“Phew!”

I poked Lucia’s belly slightly, preventing her from pushing her chest out further.

Ignoring Lucia’s sideways glance, I continued to urge our steps, and in front of us, a large building came into view.

“Wow… look at the height of the building, it’s huge!”

This is the demon hunter aiming for Raul, the third episode.

The hotel where Silvesta is staying, wrapped in a mysterious black robe.

‘…Honestly, it’s a bit ambiguous to call it a black robe.’

In terms of the story, it’s a role that tries to kill the main character, so it’s treated as a black robe.

In the original work, this character ends up dying a disappointing death in a diary with Raul.

“Lucia, you know, right?”

“Don’t say anything, just intervene at the dangerous moment. Agree?”

Lucia proudly mentioned what I had instructed before we came, and her tension was quite high, returning after a long time.

Maybe she’s in a good mood because of the ring, but she keeps laughing.

Since I can’t just keep receiving, I should prepare a gift soon.

“Still, I have to talk about this.”

Thinking that, Lucia suddenly changed her voice to a serious tone and pointed her finger at me.

“You know it’s because of work, but you’re meeting too many women, aren’t you?”

“Is that so…?”

From Silvesta to Francis, when you think about it, they are all women…

But even if you look at it that way, there are only two, and it’s not like I meet them in large groups and have fun. It’s just two people talking about work…

“Don’t look at other women except me, it makes me really jealous, you know?”

As she playfully puffed her cheeks, it was like a pufferfish swelling when poked.

It’s a cute pufferfish rolling around in the sea when it gets puffy.

“I’ve arranged a meeting in advance, so now, let’s sit in the lobby for a while and wait for Silvesta to come out.”

Saying that, Lucia, who had been sitting next to me, kept making an uneasy expression, even as she ran over and sat down.

I also felt like I was trying to avoid her gaze little by little, as if there was another uncomfortable point somewhere.

Even so, I didn’t miss the small consideration of exerting strength in the hand with the thumb, in case my mood might be hurt.

Because of this, I couldn’t help but like Lucia even when she pouted.

“She pouts so cutely.”

All the physical affection, all the things we do, but a slight sulk that reduces the number of words.

While I was seriously considering whether to pet Lucia, I heard Lucia’s muttering.

“Write me letters sometimes, I like handwritten letters too.”

Look, isn’t she really adorable?

I couldn’t help it and stretched Lucia’s cheeks while holding them.

“Hey! Let go of me right now!”

As I continued to play with Lucia’s squirming cheeks, I felt a presence coming from the front.

When I turned my head quietly, Sylvester, who had been playing a prank in front of us, was sitting and drinking coffee.

“Hello, Sylvester.”

A mask covering his high nose and a hood casually thrown on his shining silver hair.

Dolphin shorts that looked very comfortable to move in, and a few talismans inserted into the waistband.

Sylvester’s appearance was exactly as described in the novel.

“I have been in contact separately through a letter, I am Jack Orlante, representing Francis Watson, a Grade 1 demon hunter.”

While feeling amazed by that appearance, I looked at the person in front of me with a smiling face, and I saw her clear eyes looking back at me.

I felt a bit scared looking into Sylvester’s eyes that didn’t seem to contain such emotions, so I took courage and exerted more strength in the hand with the thumb, just like Lucia.

“Have you read the letter we sent from our side?”

The summary of the main content of the letter I sent to Sylvester as a representative of Francis can be seen as follows.

I know very well that you are chasing after Raoul, the thousand-year-old fox who has run away somewhere.

Since we are aware of Raoul’s whereabouts, let’s attempt to capture or kill him on the scheduled date.

I have been preparing such a plan, and if you move in a certain way, we can capture Raoul together.

Various greetings, self-iNT*Roduction, and incantations are attached, but the essential message is a simple request to capture Raoul together.

“..Well, I read it. The fact that Raoul is in the Academy, I had already anticipated, but…”

As you can see, by putting the word “already” in front of “anticipated,” Sylvester had already suspected that Raoul had gone to the Academy.

She probably realized that Raoul was going to the Academy in the near future, even without me giving her a hint through the letter.

Since she has been suspicious of the Academy for a long time, she must have already conducted her own cross-verification.

“Will you cooperate, then?”

With that, Silvesta nodded as if she would.

She flicked her finger at me, requesting a detailed explanation about Raul written in the letter.

There were no specific words asking for an explanation, but the atmosphere was just like that.

“I am currently studying at the academy and only acted as a representative due to my connection with the student council president. I don’t know the details.”

Of course, I didn’t need to go into detail about Raul’s situation, so I talked about the student council president instead.

“More precisely, I should say that it is connected to the Watson family, not the student council president.”

She even mentioned the name of a family that was too difficult for a hunter to handle alone.

Maybe it could be difficult to handle later, but Silvesta is not a person whose survival is certain.

Since my mouth was heavy, it wouldn’t hurt me much to let slip such words.

“Just remember that the student council president needs you.”

The one in charge of this is me, but from Silvesta’s perspective, Francis is likely to think that he is the one in charge.

I continued to focus on Silvesta and began to explain the plan to her.

“The date and time are specified in the letter, and the method is written as well, but let me explain it once more.”

“Around lunchtime, break through the strictest wall in the academy and infiltrate directly into the professor’s dormitory to stage an exorcism. It’s not a big deal to explain it all over again.”

“..You seem to know it well. There’s no need to repeat.”

By the way, the wall she will break through connects directly to the professor’s dormitory, which is the most guarded area in the academy.

As soon as we knock on it, chaos will break out in the academy, and security companies and professors will flock to that place.

‘When Silvesta attracts everyone’s attention and reduces the number of guards, we will go in and extract the magical engineering core.’

In other words, it means using Silvesta, the boss-like character of the third episode, as a decoy for our plan.

Silvesta probably can’t even imagine that I’m deceiving her.

The evidence that I can only tell the truth is overflowing.

“Well, I’m curious about why Raul went to the academy. Of course, you don’t know the reason either.”

So I guess that’s why we’re having such a relaxed conversation without doubting what I said.

There are many reasons to trust me, but a few key ones include the fact that fairies are inherently proud and hardly cooperate with humans.

Raul, who is on high alert, is an exception because he has no strong aversion to humans and his life is at stake.

Furthermore, Francis readily agreed, but getting a hunter’s license is not something you can just give to anyone, so my words about having obtained the license only increase my credibility.

“Why did he just give that to me, though?”

There seems to be something hidden deep inside the student council president who handed me a hunter’s license.

I have no idea what it is.

I raised both hands as if to indicate that I had finished explaining.

“I will attach the locator myself to Raul. You can confirm the target’s location with the terminal I sent, just like the letter.”

By the way, this locator serves as evidence to gain trust.

It would be much more reassuring if, as an assassin, I could see the target’s location with my own eyes.

As I mentioned earlier, all the details like dates and places are in the letter, so everything has been said.

“Well, let’s meet again in two days.”

I lowered my head and started to get up, having adjusted the attack date to two days later with Silvesta.

“Just a moment.”

Silvesta stopped me and pointed alternately at the kiss marks left on my neck and face by Lucia.

“By any chance, are you two lovers?”

…Why do people these days always ask these kinds of questions as soon as they meet someone?

I had asked Lucia to be careful not to leave any marks when she kissed me, but it seems like she ignored my request.

I glared at Lucia belatedly, and she whistled, avoiding eye contact.

I sighed deeply, showing a faint smile, and answered Silvesta’s question.

“Partly, we are lovers.”
