Chapter 376
Good Friends
The morning of the Valdrova Castle secretary, Mori, was similar to that of noble young ladies.
The difference was that when she opened her eyes in the morning, it wasn't a lady-in-waiting who came to find her, but a mage who came to attend to her.
'Whose turn was it today?'
The gloomy and impure-looking witch,
Or the dragon spawn mage with terrible drinking habits.

"Our lovely Moriiiii!"
It was the former.

With disheveled hair and exuding a gloomy aura, she grinned broadly.
Mori frowned at the obsession that felt like she'd been waiting since before she woke up.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, yeees! No! Actually, I couldn't sleep thinking about you, Mori-yang! Just imagining touching you with these hands today......"
Wе̂ b̊ n̂ о ve.ĺ Еńümа
I want to get out of here.
She thought if she gained free will she could run away immediately, but freedom turned out to be a trifling thing, not as she thought.
If she ran away from here, who would fix her hair?
Even if she was annoyed, she had to admit the girl had good hands.

Mori quietly sat before the mirror and waited for her touch.
"What style today?"
Ẃ e b̂ ň ov̇.е ľ Еň um а
"As always, please make me look calm and intellectual."
"Yeees~."
Echidna, who neglected self-care but poured devotion into precious things.
Unlike her fanatic gestures, when she did the styling, she was more delicate than anyone.
Her hair, messed up from sleep, was straightened stiffly, and even the parting was finished perfectly.
"Hmm......"

Mori checked herself in the mirror.
Seeing herself in the mirror, she confirmed once again that she was worth receiving her help.
"How is it?"
"It's good. It doesn't seem like it'll interfere with work, and there's nothing to criticize if I show it to anyone."
"Of course! Of course! The Regent-nim will like it very much too!"
"Ugh......"
Wеb.ň о̄ vēl̆ Еñ ǔm̈ а̂
Mori, flustered at having her inner thoughts seen through.
Her words stuck in her throat and her face turned bright red.

"Kyaa! You're bright red! Oh my, oh my!?"
Echidna clapped her hands delightedly and cackled.
"For some reason I'm jealous, and anger flares up, but you're so cute I'll go crazy. Huff, huff......!"
"Please calm down, Chief Researcher."
Е̌ń u̇ mа́
"I can't calm down! My beloved Jed-nim found love too so I let him go, but I can't let you go too!"
Echidna grabbed Mori's waist and finally started wailing loudly.
She was an eccentric witch who wandered searching for love, but she didn't have excessive obsession.
Since the strange atmosphere between Jed and Garnet, Echidna had reduced her obsession toward Jed, and when she learned they were engaged, she let go completely.

Must the total amount of obsession remain the same?
As much as she let go, her obsession toward Mori increased.
Е̇ n úm̄ а̊ . і d
"I'm going to work now. Move aside."
Mori tried to push Echidna away as if bothered.
"Ehehe, can't let go. If you don't show me today's smile, I'll keep holding on like this!?"
Finally, breathing roughly like a suspicious uncle, she acted persistently.
A smile, huh.
Mori, as if it couldn't be helped, raised the corners of her lips with both index fingers.

"Kyaa, so cute!!"
Echidna grabbed her own face and fell backward.
She threw a fit close to a rampage and screamed, and Mori left for work leaving her behind.
From far away, the eerie witch's laughter could be heard flowing through the corridor.
In Mori's eyes, the castle staff coming to work came into view.
She recalled when she first came to this castle.
Ѐn u ḿ а̃
The scenery itself hadn't changed from back then, but now people filled it and it was lively.
This was the result of what one man started.

Mori headed toward that man's office.
"Did you have a peaceful night?"
Gray hair, blue eyes.
The calm, luxurious black uniform made him feel like a noble, unapproachable existence.

'He's cool today too.'
Whenever she saw Ferda like this, a stifling feeling welled up.
A girl's life of just writing a few letters and keeping them preciously in a drawer.
Since he had an owner, she couldn't bother him.

'Besides, I don't have confidence I'd win even if I fought.'
A woman with nothing to envy in strength, figure, or personality.
Ĕ.n̄ ŭm̂ а . і d
'Well, intelligence is overwhelmingly on my side though.'
Feeling hope that she still had a weapon, she reignited her motivation.
Ferda met her eyes and answered.
"Not bad."
Mori's body flinched.
'Not bad?'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At the unusual phrasing, she sensed something out of the ordinary had happened.
But right now she was Secretary Mori.
She mustn't carelessly bring up private stories.
"Then I'll begin work."
"Do so."
As if nothing was wrong, he sat at the desk and reviewed the stacked papers.

Reflection on the fact of the Regent's 'not bad'.
No, there's no such thing.
A document made up arbitrarily in her head.
'Useless sentiment.'
W̄ е b̌ n о̃v̈ ēl Е̇ n̂ u m̈ а̃.
She had the knowledge and brain of a Sage, but she was also just a girl.
Reason and emotion collided, tormenting the girl's heart.
But surprisingly, there was someone who saved that heart,
"What did you do yesterday?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was Ruri, who entered on the pretext of cleaning.
She stopped brushing and asked Ferda with fierce eyes.
Wе̊b̂ n̂ о v̂е̌l̄ E nŭ m̆ а́
Those fierce eyes were a defense mechanism.
To hide her flushed cheeks.
"What did I do?"
Ferda asked back.
But both already knew what story they were about to tell.
If so, just do it quickly!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Their inner hearts shouted as one.
"Master-nim spent all day making a fuss wondering if she might be pregnant."
Snap.
Mori's hands, moving without rest, stopped.
Wondering if she misheard, she recalled the words she'd said several times over.
Not human body,
Еń.ũ mа̃
Not human heart either,
The word 'pregnant' was certain.

So that's why that silver-haired lewd brat's face was red.
Wait a minute.
'Then Ferda-nim?'
The person most directly involved, who would know all events clearly.
W ё b́nоvel̄ Ёṅ um̊а
His expression was truly red like someone who had pounced.
"No matter how I think about it, Ferda-nim doesn't have that kind of courage, so I came to ask what happened."
"It's nothing. Just......"
He took a deep breath once, and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"We just kissed once."
"Kiss? You mean a kiss matching lips with lips?"
Е num̊ ä
"......Yeah."
Ruri snorted as if it was ridiculous and said.
"Don't say nonsense. Just that once, and you expect me to believe Ferda-nim or Valdrova-nim would show such reactions?"
"......."
"......Is it true?"
Ferda was silent.

Not just simply silent.
Not wanting to show his expression, he fiddled with his face unnecessarily, avoiding the answer.
The intellectual, rigid appearance crumbles because of just one woman.
It's fresh.
That freshness felt like a wave of emotion rushing in and melting Mori's brain.
"Mori, are you okay?"
Еn ŭ m̂ ӑ
Suddenly a question flew at her.
The two who had been talking suddenly turned their gazes toward Mori.

"Is something the matter?"
"The matter is happening in your body, though."
At those words, she realized.
Her heated head ultimately couldn't withstand its own heat and blood had burst.

"I'm sorry. Quickly......"
"I'll wipe it for you."
Mori tried to find a handkerchief, but Ruri wiping it was faster.
Ferda asked worriedly.

"Has the workload been high lately?"
"That's not it."

She sighed through her nose as if it was ridiculous.
"It's because she got a nosebleed just from hearing they kissed once."
At that, Mori's eyes snapped toward Ruri, staring.
"Good for you, gaining immunity by liking obscene books unbefitting of you."
A counterattack hitting the back of the head properly.
Ruri's face hardened.

"......Excuse me?"
"You didn't have an ego. It's not that you don't remember, Ruri Silverwind. No."
A sound of a stifled laugh.
"Should I call you Lucy?"
Lucy is the heroine's name in '49 Ways to Tame the Cheeky Maid'.
Ruri's face turned bright red.

"Is something wrong?"
"Nothing at all, Pelan-nim."

"Pelan?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. Regent Ferda-nim. My head went blank for a moment and I called the wrong name. The protagonist of the novel I've been enjoying lately is none other than—."
"Aaaah!"
Ruri suddenly screamed.

Ferda calmed his startled heart.
"Why are you doing that?"
Ruri didn't answer.
Only her barely visible ears were burning red.

"You both look like you'd have trouble working today. You can rest."
"Both Ruri Chief Attendant and I judge that we're fine."

Accepting the handkerchief, she turned her gaze toward Ruri.
"How does it look to you, Ruri Chief Attendant-nim?"
"......."
Ruri's face was bright red, chewing her lips.
She wanted to twist her neck, but this woman was talent the Far East couldn't do without.
That talent just happened to hold the most humiliating secret.

Even overwhelming force is useless against some opponents.
And that opponent was a girl much younger than herself.
Even making a frustrated expression only gets a ridiculous eye-smile in return.
"Yes, you look fine."
"Then, let's resume work."
Like that, as if nothing happened, they both left to do their respective tasks.

Ferda recalled the atmosphere that had flowed between the two and thought.
'They're close.'

He thought it was fortunate they'd become good friends to each other.

The fact that the Grand Council had collapsed spread rapidly across the continent.
The White House, located in the very center, was buried underground leaving only a dome that no one could enter or exit.
Е n̆u m̀ â
Kings and nobles everywhere fell into confusion.
The reason the continent had been quiet until now was because Blancaros personally mediated.
Above all, because Blancaros existed, it was impossible for large countries to recklessly poke at surrounding small nations.
Whether to strengthen military power, or reduce it.

The discussions, barking at each other like dogs before a fence, changed to a tense silence as the fence disappeared.
Their gazes now turned to one place.
Е n̄_ů m а̂ ..іd
The largest human kingdom on this continent, the Arken Empire.
"The Grand Council has collapsed."
Inside the Golden Palace of the Arken Empire's capital.
Godfrey Arken said so to the man opposite him while hosting a banquet.
"With the place mediating all the continent's conflicts gone, humans can't seem to come to their senses. It looks like something will blow up soon."
"The things suppressing the Empire have finally disappeared."

A giant man with his feet on the table in front of the Emperor, rattling his glass.
Even showing such irreverent appearance, no one dared say anything.
He was the Lord of Storm and Lightning, Storeus.
There was no one here brave enough to discuss manners before a dragon.
"And the Grand Council didn't collapse. It should be said they finally went where they had to go."
"I see. My thinking was shallow."

He just gave a perfunctory answer and played along.
Storeus lifted his glass to the side.

A servant trembling filled Storeus's glass.
Storeus didn't care a whisker about that slave.
Conversely, the moment he cared, the servants wouldn't survive the day, such was his terrifying energy.
"It was set up using demons as an excuse, so with demons dead now, it's only natural it's unnecessary."
Ė n̊ ǔ m а.i̊ d
He lightly swirled the filling glass.
The red wine was so dark it couldn't penetrate light.
"Well, it's enough to look that way. Truth is I just did whatever the hell I wanted."
"How do you know Blancaros-nim's will?"

"He was a weakling from way back. Watching his children die a lot, his heart became callous. So when this world was completed, he only made 3 spawns."
"Even so, isn't it the same for Storeus-nim that you haven't made spawns since the Dragon-Demon War?"
Е ǹú m̌ а
He boldly threw a question that could offend.
"Sometimes you get tired of making them."
Storeus let out a low laugh and downed the wine.
After one sip, he grimaced.
"Tastes like piss. A precious guest comes to the Imperial Palace, and you serve this crap?"
"Would human stuff suit the picky Storm Dragon's mouth?"

"Or did you bring trash intending to fuck with me?"
Crash!
He threw the wine glass as if discarding it.
The hall froze instantly.
Even so, the servants picked up the glass shards and cleaned up.
In that atmosphere dominated by Storeus, only Godfrey was free.

"You've never been satisfied. No matter what I brought out, it would've been the same."
'You' to a dragon.

That irreverence was enough to burn the Empire.
But Godfrey didn't show a shred of anxiety.
He already knew what story he came to tell.
"Just say what you came to say and go back."
W ѐb̊ n̄о̀v̊ еl. Е̇ n u ṁ а̀
At those impossibly arrogant words, Storeus willingly answered.
"Your family's protection ends now. The Empire, you guys clean up your own mess."
The words he threw were a bomb that would shake the Empire.
