chapter 31
31 – First Date (2)
The hem of my clothes swayed lightly as I was in a daze.
“… Fast.”
“…”
“Brother Nefi.”
“Oh, yes. Mirren.”
Wearing in a wedding dress at Ilelp was no different from the experience of having lightning strike in my brain.
My appearance must have been rather pitiful, looking like a traveler whose soul had left for freedom.
The twist stemming from the fact that the outfit Mirren chose was a wedding dress, not a dress suitable for a social party, is also a twist…
‘It’s so unexpected…’
Because it’s the appearance of a beautiful woman that I don’t usually notice.
That’s because it’s Ir Elp Youth.
I was shocked internally.
“Uh… Oops. I want to change!”
She hesitated and turned around. He seemed to be trying to hide his blushing cheeks.
“Irelp.”
“… Why?”
“In the dress you are wearing…”
Mirren’s golden eyes sparkle. Perhaps it was because I squeezed her hand as if to hasten her answer, but her lips did not go through a filter and spoke instinctively.
“Again, it would be nice if I could see it. Definitely.”
“Neffi. That means…”
IrLP’s question could not be continued.
“Oh my God…!”
“Brother Nefi…!”
It was because Madame and Mirren in the dressing room each gave a burdensome look of ecstasy and pride.
“I also really want to see the dress Elfi unnie wore.”
“At that time, please order from our dressing room! By all means, give me the honor!”
“Eh? Huh? … Ah?”
“Yes… Yes, yes, yes, nefi?!”
I, who was aware of the remarks that came out of my impertinent throat, and the Illelpi screamed involuntarily.
It senses in real time that the eyes that were already focused are becoming more intense.
“Wait! I mean, that’s…”
“Neffi’s strength is being honest.”
“”Miren!””
Me and Irelp were of one heart and one mind and screamed out loud.
Her true identity, Mirren, was hiding behind me and maintaining her meaningful attitude.
“I want to change as expected!”
“Uh, yes! Yes!”
Elfi covered her sunburnt cheeks and started running. Even wearing those clothes and shoes, I felt the impression that she had a well-balanced run.
Behind her, the madam with a truly sinister smile followed slowly.
I sat down on the sofa as if I were about to collapse at the scene as if a storm had passed.
“Haa, what is this?”
“How was Nefi oppa and my sister?”
Miren asked with a smile on her face.
‘… What is it? Did Mirren’s smile originally contain such a devilish temperament?’
No, no.
What kind of blasphemous doubts about this angelic child? Mirren is just a kind and pretty younger sister.
Her sparkling golden eyes urged her to answer steadily.
“Everyone in the Empire knows how beautiful the Ellp is.”
“What about my brother besides the people of the Empire?”
“…”
The answer is fixed. Isn’t it a fact that I’ve already admitted in front of Irlp.
Confirming that again… I feel embarrassed and nervous.
“I think it’s pretty…”
“Isn’t it? There are many other good things about Elfi.”
“Be sincere in everything.”
“If you give your heart once, it’s a lot.”
“Yes.”
She looks dissatisfied with my plain acceptance. Then, like a presenter reading a Korean book, he talked to himself.
“Oh, I want to be a family with Nefi.”
“I already consider Mirren a little sister.”
“For me, Nefi’s brother and Elfi’s sister…”
“Miren!”
Mirren’s words could not be followed. It was because Ir Elfi, who had completed her transformation in the uniform of the Nelf Lugia Knights, urgently called Mirren.
Mirren puffed out her cheeks as if feeling sorry for her, and she jumped up and headed towards Elfie.
“Now let’s see what Mirren will wear to her.”
Irelfi said.
“That’s good.”
I agree like a knife.
“My clothes should be inherited from Elfi unnie’s.”
“No, I can’t allow that. I’ll have to choose the cutest and highest quality products.”
From the beginning, Mirren’s clothes were the goal, but because of Ir Elfi’s strong outfit, she forgot about it for a while.
“Ooh…”
Mirren cutely expressed her dissatisfaction, but my will was firm.
In the end, Mirren was caught in Madame’s hands and disappeared into the secret room to measure her.
Only the two men sat side by side on the sofa, silent.
As if I had made a promise to each other, I quietly put my hands together, and my back was stiff, so it was an uncomfortable posture.
“…”
“…”
A silence dominated by subtle emotions weighed down the air around us.
I feel like I won’t be able to say anything for the rest of my life if I stay silent like this.
Thus, I decided to speak first here.
“Irelp.”
“Neffi.”
“”…””
Did Irr Elfi have the same thoughts? Coincidentally, the timing when the two spoke out overlapped remarkably.
I just coughed and asked.
“Hmmm. Illelpi, what should we eat for dinner later?”
“Hmmm. As Neffy said in the morning, I think it’d be better to have some kind of meat.”
“Yes, that would be nice.”
“Yes, that would be nice.”
“…”
“…”
Once again a heavy silence overtook us. This guy’s heart was beating so thump-thump that I was worried that I couldn’t hear the sound next to me.
‘I’m immortal anyway, so why not stop my heart muscle?’
The moment you arrive at such a terrifying idea.
An angel who saves us from the other side has descended to the earth.
“”Miren!””
We stood up at the same time as if we had come together and shouted the same name.
“It’s shining. My Mirren, my little sister.”
“…I’ve said it many times, but she’s my sister?”
Even though I’m an Elf, I don’t deny my words. It is also true that Mirren’s dress shows off her presence more prettier than anyone else in the world.
“I was just going to take my measurements, but I just found a dress that fits me and I’m wearing it.”
Miren was tired cutely while spinning around.
Sounds of chatter can be heard from all directions at the appearance of a little angel who has no choice but to attract the attention of those around him.
As if embroidering her early evening sky, the harmony of her soft indigo and indigo blue gave her the illusion of holding her up as her moon fairy.
Mysteriously shining golden eyes are like the full moon illuminating the night road, and keep stealing attention.
“This is… This is this. Give me this!”
“Oh my God, it suits Mirren so well!”
Madam saw our fierce reaction and approached with a subtle smile.
“Whoops, if it’s not a burden, can I give the dress that Lady Justiha tried on to the two marquises as a gift?”
“Are you okay with that? I can pay properly… I don’t really know, but they say I have a lot of money.”
“You know what you just said, looks really stupid, Nefi?”
“Noisy.”
Madam smiled and corrected her misunderstanding.
“The two marquis are new to our dressing room… Please consider this a bribe in the sense that you will visit us often.”
“Then thank you. I’ll pay for the bribe right away.”
With my fingertips, I boldly declared, drawing from the left corner to the right corner of the dressing room.
“From this side to that side. I’ll buy them all.”
“Oh my God!”
“This line I’ve only seen in romance dramas, this situation! I wanted to repeat it someday… A red line has added to my bucket list.”
“Neffi, do you know your eyes are a little loose?”
It was only then that I became aware of a sense of reality after listening to the point made by LLP.
It was after the madam withdrew to pick up all the products.
“I did it because I was in the mood, but do I really have the money to buy them…? If it’s not enough, would you lend me some money? I don’t think I need an IOU between us, right?”
“I don’t know what it is, it’s a romance, it’s a bucket list, but it won’t be obvious, so don’t worry. Even if I’m not good enough, I can take care of Neffi’s useless luxuries.”
Irelp adds, ‘There is also the grace of healing Mirren…’.
“Thank you, brother Nefi.”
“Anyway, where is the money I can’t spend for Mirren? Even if her brother does manual labor, she has to earn money for Mirren’s clothes.”
I was so proud of Mirren for not forgetting to thank her properly, so I petted her.
Until her next line pops out.
“Even if Nefi doesn’t have money, it’s a solution if Elfi sees the dress she’s wearing today.”
“”Mirren!!!””
My voice and Irelp’s voice hit the peak again. Both of them were speechless at Mirren’s bewildered eyes, but…
It was hard to shake off the unpleasant feeling that I was somehow getting involved.
◇
We left the billing for the dressing room to the imperial family and were walking along the main street.
She insisted that Mirren prefer walking and watching rather than in her carriage.
She held the hands of the two of them in the middle of me and Ir Elfi and waved them vigorously.
For that reason, Ir Elfi’s hand and my hand would often touch each other, but Mirren didn’t stop with a puzzled smile.
“Now it’s time for the play Mirren wanted to see.”
“Yes, they said there was a play the three of them wanted to see together.”
“Oh, what kind of play is this, Mirren?”
Mirren replied energetically.
“It’s a play called .”
“That’s right… It’s a strange title.”
It is definitely a title that reminds me of a repertoire I saw somewhere.
Well, people live in the same place, so you must have seen similar titles in previous lives or wherever.
“If it’s an inappropriate play for Mirren to watch, will she come out midway through?”
“It’s okay. I’ve already heard the outline.”
“Are you famous enough to be rumored?”
As if waiting for my question, Mirren chanted with her eyes twinkling.
“The story is about an aristocrat who is known to be bad in society and a female knight who live together for each other’s circumstances. As time passes, misunderstandings between them are resolved, and the two men and women passionately fall in love.”
“That’s right… It’s something that makes me feel deja vu.”
There are all kinds of creations in the world.
Isn’t Mirren overly quick with the content of her play? Usually she doesn’t bother to find out, even if she doesn’t like spoilers…
No, if it’s a famous play, there will be many times when you have no choice but to listen to it. Let’s not dig too deep.
It’s just fortunate that Mirren isn’t something you can’t bear to see.
While we were chatting, the theater was showing off its majesty with its magnificent size.
“Is this a theater? It’s quite big.”
“It’s a specialty of Eldrian. Even His Majesty’s wife and his wife come here from time to time.”
“You must have suffered a lot.”
“Yes, really. There are few places where assassination is as easy as in a theater. I would like you to be a little more careful. Well, it may not be my job anymore.”
“It won’t belong to you?”
“Oh, that’s a slip of the tongue. Let’s talk about it in detail later, and let’s go in.”
“Um… Ok.”
Since she didn’t express any particular embarrassment, I didn’t have any questions.
I just moved into the theater, melting into the cuteness of Mirren, who often bumped my hand with the suspiciously elf.
