Episode 239.2
(EP-239.2) Sumr Vacation #4
239 – Each Sumr Vacation #4
As I held the gold-embellished paper up to the firelight, beautifully flowing words ca into view.
「After a eting with the Stella rchant Guild board mbers, we would like to inform you that the following schedule has been set.」
「X month X day, X ti. At Ark’s Great Temple VIP conference room.」
‘I see.’
They want to attend a eting at this date and ti. It seed the high-ranking mbers of the Bellhawk family would gather to negotiate and discuss so adjustnts with .
「You have calmly judged the situation!
You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience 5」
It was roughly what I had anticipated, nothing to be surprised about.
This felt inevitable. It’s just that I got it quicker than expected. But I did like their prompt decision-making.
“So, is it true that you’re going to marry the winner of the martial festival?”
At that mont, soone spoke up, drawing our attention. It was Narmi, who had been chatting about banshees earlier.
“It sounds like a romantic story. Didn’t Princess Atalante of the Arcadia Kingdom do sothing similar? She said she would marry the one who could defeat her…!”
I didn’t know who Princess Atalante of the Arcadia Kingdom was, but from Narmi’s story, it seed there was another headstrong royal in the world like Aira.
Even Elga once said, “You have to be stronger than to marry .”
Perhaps the strong won of this world had a universal desire to be defeated and dominated by a stronger man?
Elga tossed so dry firewood into the bonfire with a click of her tongue.
“It’s just a waste of ti. Is there anyone in the world who can beat you?”
Aira chuckled softly at that.
“Fufu, Elga. My cousin Elganes, you’re being humble. I think we could have a good match. Are you not confident enough to fight ?”
Elga frowned in response.
“What are you talking about? Of course, I’m confident. But I don’t have the slightest intention of marrying you. I won’t participate in that silly little tournant.”
I had already expected that Elga wouldn’t join. The martial festival would begin in about a month, and by then, Elga’s belly would start to show.
She wouldn’t be in any condition for fighting.
Thinking about it made anxious.
Ti was running out.
“Who do you think will win?”
The conversation ended with the romance-loving Narmi posing a subtle question to the bonfire.
Hwoooooooo-.
At that mont, a strong gust of wind blew from sowhere. Because of it, I had to hurriedly reach out to keep my hat from flying off.
Then I got up from my seat, feeling a little chilled by all the gazes drawn to .
“Excuse , I need to go wash my hands.”
* * *
As the lazy sumr evening party started winding down, Elga followed when I went to wash my hands. She poked on the side.
“Hey.”
“What’s the matter?”
“After talking today, I’m sure of it. Aira, that girl. She’s hiding sothing. I think she’s up to sothing.”
“Up to sothing?”
“That’s right, a secret sche.”
‘A secret sche….’

[T/N: Kkungkkungi is the literal sound of secret sche if you spell it in English (from Korean word).]
It felt strange to hear that familiar word coming out of Elga’s mouth. It sounded like a baby na. Kkungkkungi. Is this what they call Gestalt collapse?
I was thinking about what if I nad my child with Elga, Kkungkkungi…, when suddenly—
Diiing-.
==============================
Na: Kkungkkungi lv. 1
Job: Fairy lv. 1

‘What is this?’
I was startled by the text that appeared before my eyes.
Whose status window was this?
No, why even ask? It was clear that this was the status of the child nestled in Elga’s belly. But the na was “Kkungkkungi”! I was stunned by the turn of events.
Did the na I ca up with get stuck in the status window?
Surprised, I activated Calm Thinking and thought of the na Elga had given in advance, “Leonor.” Then the letters in front of slowly changed.
==============================
Na: Leonor lv. 1
Job: Fairy lv. 1
Talent: 《Staying Still》
Disposition: Neutral

‘I see.’
Depending on what na I give, the display in the status window changed.
At that mont, sothing clicked.
The na displayed on my status window:
「Na: Theo Gospel Angmar」
This was because I had nad myself Theo Gospel. The status window’s display wasn’t absolute.

So, what was this body’s original na? As I was pondering over this, Elga poked my side again.
“Hey, are you listening to ?”
“Yes.”
“What did I just say?”
“… That Aira-nim has a secret sche?”
“That was a while ago. What’s next?”
“Um….”
“Why aren’t you paying attention!?”
Elga growled as if she was angry.
It was understandable to be upset when soone isn’t focused on your words. But the things that just appeared in front of were too interesting to ignore. Our child’s na could have ended up being ‘Kkungkkungi.’
Elga sighed reluctantly.
“Anyway, Aira isn’t doing this because she wants to get married. She’s plotting sothing. What do you think?”
I nodded at her question.
“I think so too.”
“Like the announcent that the big event will be held in the Tarantera estate at the Witch Forest. I have a feeling sothing’s going on, No… but that aside.”
Seureureuk-.
Elga reached her hand out.
Her hand was aid at the straw hat I was wearing on my head.
“How much longer are you going to wear that unsightly thing? Hand it over. I’ve let it slide for the past few days, but I’ve had enough!”
“……!”
