Episode 106
“I need coffee. Coffee.”
After fighting several more battles, Berotanis’ special unit was now treated as a separate unit rather than a simple support unit.
Those who did not fit in left, and those who remained became closer and closer to each other, and gradually began to function as a single ‘unit’. However, just because they were used to fighting did not mean that fatigue disappeared.
“I’ll live a little.”
“I told you to drink the potion instead.”
Cordelia looked at Eileen with a weary face as she gulped down her iced coffee.
“This taste doesn’t come from a potion.”
Eileen savored the strong caffeine rush as she washed her stomach. Memories of her past life, when working overtime was a daily routine, came flooding back.
Even after learning the truth, their daily lives did not change immediately. They were busy trying to prevent the disaster right before their eyes, as they could not find Ajar’s traces or the changed plan.
The magic that Nox had collected over the past 200 years and the strategies he had laid out in advance were equally vicious and deep-rooted.
“Let’s go, we’ll be there in thirty minutes.”
Lucian, carrying a sword, approached Eileen and Cordelia. Behind him was Lakerta, carrying a full load of luggage.
“Oh! Are you going together this time?”
“Yes. Since it is a stronghold type monster, we decided to build a barracks outside the stronghold.”
“It’s true that it was difficult to heal the wounded during the last expedition.”
They had become accustomed to combat. That also meant that they had become accustomed to injuries and losses. They were still students and had been mobilized for relatively low-risk tasks, but there were still some who had suffered serious injuries, such as losing limbs.
Lakerta said with a serious face.
“If it gets cut, take it out carefully. I have to put it back on.”
“Can you just tell me not to get hurt?!”
Eileen slapped Lakerta on the back, but regretted it because her hand started to hurt.
‘It’s a stone! It’s a stone!’
It was a playful conversation, but the content was so serious that they held back their words. It felt like a distant past when they had played in the water and played pranks on each other.
“Eileen, go that way.”
“Uh huh.”
The battle followed immediately. Eileen now skillfully controlled her powers and cut off the monster’s breath. Although she didn’t make direct contact, she could clearly feel something bursting through Star’s senses.
‘Until recently, I was trembling with fear.’
It was amazing how I was able to adapt to the smell of blood and the roars of monsters even after experiencing them several times.
‘It’s terrible.’
Eileen shook her head, trying to shake off the sensation that had surged to her fingertips. She wanted to maintain her composure as much as possible for the coming battle, but she couldn’t stop the shadows from suddenly appearing.
As the last monster was safely dealt with, someone let out a groan they had been holding back.
“Ugh.”
A student who had had some of his flesh torn off by a spider-like monster was rolling on the floor, holding onto his thigh. The magician from the magic tower who had been deployed with him skillfully stopped the bleeding from the wound, but the pain seemed extreme, as if there was poison in it.
This is what real combat was like. Even when there was a comrade writhing in pain, you had to eliminate the target in front of you first, and move your body in a set order.
It was when Eileen felt a little tired as she followed his back as he disappeared on someone else’s back.
“Eileen.”
A face suddenly appeared under the lowered head.
“Wow!”
Felix grabbed Eileen’s arm as she stumbled in surprise.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”
“Eww. No, what’s wrong?”
“I just called you?”
A question crossed Eileen’s face. She looked at him strangely, and Felix confidently met her gaze and smiled brightly. Feeling somewhat discouraged, Eileen pushed Felix’s cheek.
“Okay, okay.”
“Isn’t it soft? You can touch it more.”
“what!”
Felix placed his hand over the back of Eileen’s hand and placed it on his cheek. Eileen’s face flushed as her white, round cheek filled his palm.
“Let’s go out quickly!”

Felix, who was happily watching Eileen turn around after pushing Felix away, slowly followed her. Cordelia, who was watching the whole scene from behind, clicked her tongue.
Whenever he slaughtered monsters without much interest, the sight of him acting so meekly was so disgusting. When Cordelia turned around, she saw Lucian looking in the direction where the two had disappeared with a darkened expression. Sighing deeply, Cordelia approached Lucian and lightly kicked his shin.
“Ouch! What the?!”
“Revenge from a past life.”
“what?!”
Cordelia, who was muttering something incomprehensible, walked ahead.
“Let’s go back without acting so pitiful.”
It was a cheap punishment for the crime he had committed, but it was something that was incomprehensible to Lucian at the moment. Lucian grumbled and followed Cordelia.

“They said they would provide accommodations and food to the Rosewin family, which is close to the subjugation site, until the next mission.”
At Albert’s words, the eyes of Eileen and Lakerta, who were eating, widened.
“Rosewina?!”
“Surely the Baron Roswin is around here.”
“Huh! Then I guess I can meet Andrew.”
Lakerta, who was snorting, looked excited at first glance. After a long time, they excitedly packed their bags and arrived at the Rosewin Estate late at night when the moon was setting.
“welcome.”
The lord, Baron Rosewin, came out in person to welcome them. Eileen and Lakerta searched diligently for Andrew, but for some reason, only his wife and eldest son were standing behind the baron, and Andrew was nowhere to be seen.
“I don’t think Andrew is asleep yet.”
“Are you out of the office for a moment?”
Their suspicions deepened when Andrew did not show up for a late dinner later that evening.
“He’s not coming.”
“I see.”
It was when Eileen and Lakerta were gloomily drinking their cocoa for dessert.
“Hello, Little Duke Lucian.”
Baroness Rosewin and the eldest son of the family, Liam, approached the table where they were. Lucian rose smoothly and greeted them.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Baroness.”
“You must be very secure with such a handsome son. Oh, this is the first child, Liam. He was unable to attend Verotanis due to some circumstances, but he is a very intelligent child.”
Liam stepped forward and greeted him. He looked like Andrew, but with a sharper gaze. Shaking hands, Lucian asked.
“Nice to meet you. Oh, is Andrew in the territory? We used to work together in Verotanis, but I don’t think I saw him today.”
The Baroness’s eyes wavered at those words.
“Ah, ah. You knew our Andrew? Oh my, why didn’t he tell you that? Haha.”
The Baroness glanced at the maid behind her while fanning herself.
“Bring Andrew! I’m sorry. He doesn’t like to move. I just went to bed early and didn’t bring him out.”
At those words, Eileen and Lakerta exchanged glances.
Andrew was passionate enough to take the top job at Verotanis. There was no way he wouldn’t come see his friends just because he was annoying.
“Then that’s it… … ”
When the Baroness left first, Liam followed her with a puzzled expression. When Andrew arrived at the restaurant, it was late in the evening when the other students had all gone back to their dormitories.
“Andrew!”
“I’m sorry. Did you keep me waiting long?”
Andrew entered the restaurant, smiling cheerfully as usual. Eileen, who was relieved to see that he looked fine, unlike what she had worried about, froze slightly as she smiled.
‘The clothes… … ‘
Andrew was wearing a loose-fitting suit. It was a good-quality suit made of luxurious fabric, but it still looked like he was wearing someone else’s clothes.
‘It looks like it would fit the Liam I saw earlier.’
No one showed that Andrew was uncomfortable, but Andrew, who was quick-witted, could tell from the momentary silence that his friends had noticed something.
‘I didn’t want to get caught like this. But I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
This level of shame and embarrassment was now familiar to him.
Andrew Rosewin Biggie. Smile confidently wherever you go.
The boy in ill-fitting clothes forced a smile.
