(EP-173.1) Exposed #2
173 – Exposed Under The Sun #2
Narmi had been holding my head and mumbling sothing for a while now.
“Don’t you know about this ntal protection?”
According to Narmi, there was a powerful magic in my mind that even surpassed that of a fortress’ defenses.
It felt surreal and hard to believe, but she had no reason to lie.
If I indeed had a ntal protection set in my mind, it should be for a good reason.
Perhaps it was one of my parents, my mother or father? They might have given the Jeoksangari (poison) and broke my mana circuit to hide my true identity.
If there was no ntal protection, when Narmi delved into my mind just now, she would have discovered that I was Angmar’s descendant.
When considering this, it beca evident that whoever placed this protective spell had wisely thought of this possibility already.
“Ah, I can’t break through it right now.”
Narmi laid on the bed defeated, like a hacker who had given up on bypassing a strong firewall. I think this was a good analogy to describe the situation.
“You really don’t know? This is a very powerful spell, Theo. No ideas at all, even just a bit?”
Narmi prodded, unable to give up. But I guessed that was only natural as one would normally get curious after finding such a grand spell in a person’s head.
It was the sa as finding a massive vault, akin to what one would see in a bank. I’d be questioning people with lines like, “What could be inside that needs such a large vault?”
But in tis like these, my answer was…
“I’m not sure. In fact, many of my old mories are quite fuzzy.”
“Is that so?”
This was half a truth and a lie. I genuinely didn’t know what the original Theo Gospel had done before I possessed this body. Hence, it was half true. But I did have so understanding of the ntal protection spell, hence, half a lie.
“Hng….”
Narmi pouted as if she were disappointed but then yawned loudly.
“Anyway, we’ll have plenty of ti in the future. Let’s sleep now.”
Then, Narmi closed her eyes. By ntioning that we had plenty of ti ahead, it seed that she still had no intention of letting Mirna out yet.
Various thoughts swirled in my mind, but I was also tired.
For now, let’s sleep.
* * *
When I woke up in the morning, Narmi was sitting in a chair, gazing at from a distance. Her eyes were sowhat cold and icy.
“You’re up first. Did you sleep well?”
“Not really. Theo Gospel, you need to explain what happened. Why were you sleeping in the sa bed with ?”
“… Excuse ?”
Her reaction was not as I expected, and I could infer that she wasn’t Narmi.
“It’s Miss Mirna. Have you returned?”
“Returned? What are you talking about?”
Worried that Mirna might find my night out with Narmi, my eyes began to spin. But I tried to co up with a quick response.
“I thought you were unable to co out for a while after fighting with Miss Narmi.”
“Narmi…?”
She suddenly frowned.
“Miss Narmi, who is that?”
“Miss Narmi, as in Narmi Von Draco. Miss Mirna’s twin sister.”
“I am an only child, what are you talking about?”
Mirna chuckled as if she found my comnt amusing…
Mirna didn’t know Narmi. What the hell was going on? Could Narmi have mysteriously disappeared after last night!?
… Or was all of this just my imagination?
My expression turned serious, as I pondered these thoughts.
“Kufufufu.”
Then the red-eyed lady sitting in the chair suddenly burst into laughter. Only then did I understand the situation.
“Miss Narmi, aren’t you joking too much?”
“But at least you’re awake now, right?”
“Well, yes. But I was genuinely worried. I thought Miss Narmi just disappeared from the world, and Lady Mirna couldn’t rember anything.”
In response to my stern reprimand, Narmi looked at as if she was very sorry.
“Sorry, sorry. I didn’t know you’d be so angry. I just did it because it was a joke I often did to my dad or relatives….”
“Please be careful in the future.”
“Eungeung.”
Narmi coolly replied. Her carefree attitude was as unpredictable as a bouncing ball.
If I were to fall victim to another one of these mischievous pranks, I might really lose a few strands of hair. With this, any hint of drowsiness went away.
Then Narmi said.
“I talked with Unnie.”
“With Mirna-nim?”
“Yeah, we decided to take turns living day by day. Not day and night.”
“Oh.”
Was this a shift to an alternate day work system? Whatever it was, I was relieved that the sisters had co to an agreent. Then, suddenly, tension crept into my mind.
“By any chance, did you also talk to Miss Mirna about us?”
“No!”
Narmi responded cheerfully, unlike before.
“I don’t need to share everything with my sister. For the ti being, I want it to be a secret between the two of us.”
“I see…”
This was good for . As I nodded in agreent with Narmi’s wise words, she said as if she was making a big decision.
“And, I think the ti has co to reveal who I am.”
“Reveal yourself, Narmi-nim? Are you saying you’ll let others know about your existence?”
“Eungeung! I’ve already told Unnie!”
Now, that would be a big deal…
