2 days before the plan starts...
"..."
"..."
Yoon Murasaki and I faced each other in a room.
Yes, today was the day of my fiancé's arrival that I had forgotten about.
Yesterday, the Murasaki family had arrived, but because they needed to rest after the long journey, our eting was postponed.
But even though it was postponed, it didn't an we could avoid seeing each other. And the reason we were alone this ti was because of the wishes of both of our mothers who looked very happy.
(Awkward...)
I'm starting to feel like I'm losing my confidence, for so reason I always have trouble speaking when I'm around this girl. Do I have a problem with this girl?
When talking to the other Umbra Vitae mbers or the workers in this house, I never once felt nervous.
I may be a loner but at least I'm not soone who gets nervous when talking to soone.
I looked at Yoon intently feeling that there must be sothing about that girl that is different from anyone I know.
"Long ti no see, Zend."
As I stared at the girl, Yoon began to speak in a slightly impolite tone.
(Ho~ pretty bold too but good, with this I can confirm that this girl really does hate .)
"Hmph..."
I only replied with a grunt to look like an arrogant Villain.
"You're still hiding your true nature as usual."
"Heh, you're still ddling as usual."
As we exchanged insults with each other, the ti allotted for us finally ran out.
(Strange, when we insulted each other it seed to go faster, are we really better suited as enemies?)
After that, Yoon and I went back to the main room and talked with our families. In the talk, there were many agendas about tomorrow's event starting from the announcent of my engagent and many more.
After finishing talking about important matters, the Wolfled family is welco to stay in this residence.
(I hope that girl doesn't bother anymore.)
Thinking about the past 4 months only makes my head hurt, other than that I'm really very busy today and tomorrow.
...
After being allowed to stay here, at night I asked Yukiko to let go outside for a while.
After that I walked to Zend's room to spy on him.
*Knock*
When I was in front of his room, I kept knocking but no matter how many tis I knocked there was never an answer.
*Gulp*
I nervously opened Zend's room. Since we were going to be officially engaged in 2 days, it couldn't hurt right?
While reassuring myself, I opened the door and there was no one there but a red colored sword there.
"Is that person not here?"
I looked around, and saw an open window.
I then looked at the window and saw a hole in the wall then looked into the distance and found a child in black clothes and a shabby black robe.
"Is that Zend? Why did Zend co out?"
Although I was very curious and wanted to follow him, it was currently very difficult to follow at this distance.
(What is Zend doing at night like this? Ah!)
A thought popped into my head. Various scenarios of Zend committing many cris at night such as gambling, won, and many other negative thoughts.
(I see. Hehe, you're finally showing your true colors.)
I decided to follow Zend tomorrow.
After finding a solution to my problem, my heart beca very calm. Then I saw a red sword in Zend's room.
"Sword? Is this the sword contracted by Zend."
I had gotten the news about Zend contracting a Soul Weapon with the fire elent.
Soul Weapon was a very rare weapon and there were very few Soul Weapon owners in this world so I was always curious about Soul Weapon because there were no Soul Weapon owners in Xian city.
With curiosity, I approached the Soul Weapon and tried to touch the sword.
"Ack..."
But a very painful heat instantly hit my hand that touched the sword.
(Is this what it ans that a Soul Weapon cannot be held by anyone other than the contract owner.)
Knowing I couldn't touch a Soul Weapon, I was a little sad but it was still quite exciting to see a Soul Weapon.
So I left the room while preparing to stalk Zend the next day.
...
The next day, I went to Yoon and had a serious talk.
"Why did you enter my room without permission yesterday?"
When I said that, Yoon's shoulders imdiately jerked in surprise.
Yesterday when I ca ho after finishing the last eting with the Umbra Vitae mbers, Muspel imdiately told about Yoon Murasaki's appearance in my room just after I went out.
I was quite surprised, although it was rude but since we were about to get engaged this kind of action would be normal. But there is sothing important that I need to know, did this girl see go out.
"Of course there's no way I would do sothing like that. Where do you have evidence that I broke into your room at night?"
"..."
"...Ah..."
(This girl is pretty bad at lying.)
"Ehem, it's true that I ca to your room. But it was because you didn't answer my call, I thought sothing had happened to you so I trespassed into your room."
*stares*
"It's true! I'm not lying!"
(Getting suspicious...)
Well, what can I say if it's true. Besides I couldn't confirm whether she was lying or not because I didn't bring Nifl.
"There's sothing I want to ask you. Did you see anything strange back then?"
"Sothing strange? Ah!"
(Did this girl see out?)
"Your sword is too good for soone like you."
(Eh?)
"Soul Weapon is an amazingly powerful weapon but why of all people would choose to contract with you."
(Is this girl not seeing an?)
After that Yoon's ramblings began to continue but I left without listening to the girl's further ramblings.
The more I got to know this girl the more distant my first impression of her beca from her current self. The girl who was graceful and calm has now turned into a girl who is quite annoying.
(Why have I always misjudged won all my life...)
...
In the evening I again asked Yukiko for permission to go out.
"Do you need to accompany you?"
Yukiko looked worried but I refused because this needed to be done secretly. After all, Yukiko yells a lot and worries too much.
After getting permission, I imdiately hid in the bushes close to Zend's room.
But no matter how long I waited, Zend showed no sign of coming out and I unknowingly fell asleep in the bushes.
...
...
"Hoam..."
I then looked up at the sky that had turned into morning.
"Ah..."
After that I was severely scolded by my mom and dad along with Yukiko.
With that, the day of Zend's birthday party began.
