After the confession time, which included various meanings, nothing else happened. For dessert, I forgot to order a light snack to soothe my bored mouth.
The atmosphere was light from the beginning, but now it is much lighter than it was back then. I had nothing to hide from Marie anymore, and Marie also expressed her feelings.
did someone say There is no relationship as close as the one who revealed each other's secrets. What's more, Marie was able to put her mind at ease because she wasn't a burdensome opponent from the beginning.
"Oh, I'm curious, where did Isaac learn to write like that? Did someone teach you?"
"I didn't learn it, I learned it myself. To be honest, I never dreamed that the Xenon biography I wrote as a hobby would turn out so well."
"Ohhh… that's amazing. Is it really a hobby? There are various stories in it for a hobby?"
On this occasion, Marie asked me all the questions she had been curious about. She could see the intense curiosity in her eyes.
"As you know, I read a lot of books. When I read the autobiography of an explorer or adventurer, I can experience the world, at least indirectly. I can ask my father for advice."
"That's right. So, what about the demons? The end of Sakran has been dealt with quite in-depth. As a result, perceptions have changed."
"Um… there's no way to explain that. I just hated being discriminated against by demons, and I never imagined that the influence would be so terrifying. All stories are all fiction."
"Is it too vivid for a fictional story?"
"Again, I never imagined that things would turn out like this. I was only writing as a hobby, right?"
"Well…"
Even though Xenon's biography was written as a hobby, Marie couldn't easily believe it. Of course, she reacts like that because she doesn't even know that I'm a reincarnation in her dreams.
I couldn't come up with any reasonable excuses for this, so I was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Marie shrugged her shoulders and seemed to believe her.
"Okay. The world is wide and there are many geniuses. You can think of one of those geniuses as you. Isn't it?"
"A little… I'm embarrassed."
"It's a shame. By the way, no matter how much I think about it, I can't believe it. My boyfriend… my friend is the author of Zeno's biography."
Marie hesitated a bit, whether she was embarrassed to say the word 'boyfriend' or because I didn't confirm it properly. And until he smirked at me.
I guess I'll have to get a confirmation stamp on the way back. Right now, it is not suitable for stamping due to the atmosphere, so I have no choice but to be patient.
Until then, it's best to try not to turn the mood awkwardly. As I listened to her and raised my teacup, I let out a faint smile.
"Haha. That's right. At first my family asked if I really wrote it."
"As expected… I envy my family members. You can preview Xenon's biography before it comes out."
"Even if my parents don't know, my brothers and sisters can't read the manuscript. I'm at the academy, so it's difficult to send it."
"Do you have to buy your own brothers and sisters too?"
"It's not like that. My father gets the books directly from the publisher and mails them."
Books were always available through bloody competition until publishers introduced new technologies. The nobles were no different, and even Marie had a hard time finding it.
But my family is a little different. My parents read Zeno's biography in advance through my manuscript, and Nicole and Dave learn about it through a book sent to them by the publisher. Therefore, a catastrophe that even family members can't read rarely occurs.
However, Dave is currently busy with the Knights Templar, so I don't know.
After hearing my answer, Marie seemed to ponder and smiled bitterly. Somewhere with a mischievous smile.
"Then you're still writing?"
"yes."
"Can you show me some of it when I've used it all up? I'll look at it a little bit."
"no."
"Hey."
where to eat raw When I reacted decisively, Marie let out a sad voice.
Of course, she wasn't sincere, so I was half-joking.
If Marie really wants it, I'll be happy to show it to her. I'm not the kind of person who would do anything stupid with my manuscript, so there's no reason to reject it.
"Show me just once~ I'm curious about the next part~"
"I haven't even written it all out yet."
"Are you going to show me everything?"
"no."
"Puuuuuuuuuuuuu…"
Marie is now dissatisfied by inflating her cheeks like a jjanggu. In any case, I could only see cute Entalor in my eyes.
I took a sip of the tea with a happy smile. At the same time, I found out what time the current time was.
Is this what it means to say that time does not pass? Apparently it was 6 o'clock when we started eating, but it's already 8 o'clock.
'Because there is nothing from tomorrow…'
You just need to get in before it's too late. I wished time would pass a little slower.
"Isaac. Then can you tell me how many volumes of Xenon's biography end?"
Marie clasped her chin with one hand and asked me a question while I looked at the clock and thought. To that, I slowly put down the teacup and answered.
"Probably… it will end in around 20 volumes. There are still many stories to be solved."
"There's still a lot left. Is the story all in your head?"
"Even if it is, there is a separate notebook that records the development. I don't know if you remember, but do you know the picture I showed you by mistake last time?"
"Oh, that? A picture of a steam locomotive?"
I nodded. Marie seems to have noticed it even though it was drawn as if it were drawn by an elementary school student.
"There's a story written in that notebook. I brought it with me by mistake, but I won't be bringing it to the classroom in the future."
"Huh. That's great. You have another world in your head, right? I really doubt you're the same age as me."
"Even if you give me such an unfamiliar compliment, no congo water will fall."
"Sheesh. Was it too obvious?"

Even if I said that, I couldn't help but shudder in my heart. Occasionally, Marie unconsciously utters words that seem to penetrate my essence.
Last time, he joked about whether I was writing a book, and now he said something like that even though he had no idea that I was a reincarnation. These are questions that make you poke.
"Well, I'm serious about it, though. Then can you tell me when the next volume is coming out?"
"It'll probably come out in a month or so, but when the 10th volume comes out, I'm thinking of taking a hiatus until I'm in 3rd grade."
"What?! What is that… ah, because of the academy problem?"
Marie was momentarily perplexed, and instead of shouting out loud, she spoke as if she had understood. She seemed to understand, as she was feeling with her whole body that she was also quite busy until she was in third grade.
"Yeah. I have more free time from the moment I enter the third year, so I'll start writing from that time. It's a little noisy, but it's unavoidable for my studies."
"Um… You said it was a hobby, but it seems like it was real? Can't you just live as a writer?"
"You should think about that after graduating from the academy. For now, I'm planning a career in history."
My dream was to be a historian until Zeno's biography became a hit. So, it is highly probable that Xenon's biography didn't care even if he did poorly.
Upon hearing my answer, Marie looked at me with a curious expression and smiled slightly. She and she opened her mouth in a proud voice.
"Isak all have plans? I'm envious.
"I'm unique. I'm sure everyone else is just like you? What do you like the most in lectures?"
"Do I like to play best?"
what kind of pororo I looked at Marie with a puzzled face.
Marie looked at my expression and chuckled like an innocent girl.
"It's a joke, and alchemy was the most fun in the first place. The professor explains it well."
"right."
"But now…"
After a moment's silence, she glanced at me and smiled.
"I think history is the best."
"… …"
"My family hated me because I was forced to learn, but not now. Thanks to someone."
"Hmm. Big…"
I coughed up to hide my flushed face and picked up the teacup.
*****
Time passed so quickly that it rotted my teeth. I wished that time passed a little slower if possible, but no matter how omniscient and omnipotent God is, he cannot stop the passing of time.
We both had no choice but to move to the dormitory, feeling sorry for the time that passed so quickly. But that didn't mean our sweet time was completely over.
"… …"
The dark darkness has subsided and only the faint light of the street lights up. Most of the restaurants were closed and there were hardly any passersby, so the quiet atmosphere subsided.
And the two of us were walking slowly, very slowly, holding each other's hands on the street.
Hoping that this sweet time will pass even a little later. In order to delay the arrival time at the accommodation even a little.
Me and Marie didn't say anything, just kept our heads down and walked around holding hands.
"… …"
I looked down at Marie with my head down. She, like me, keeps her gaze fixed on her ground and walks endlessly.
I vividly remember her surprised face when I first held her hand after leaving the restaurant. It was a very cute reaction, unlike the bold kiss.
'I wish this time was forever.'
Is there really a happier time than being with the opposite s*x? I lifted my head down and looked up at the night sky.
The stars were densely packed in the darkness, forming a single Milky Way. I was almost mesmerized by the truly beautiful and mysterious sight.
Come to think of it, when was the last time I looked up at the sky like this? When I was at home, I had nothing to do, so I watched it often, but after coming to the academy, I was so busy every day that I didn't have time to look at the night sky.
towering-
As I was staring blankly at the Milky Way, Marie suddenly stopped standing on her legs. Naturally, I had no choice but to stop on the spot.
When I checked why it had stopped, I had arrived at a fork in the road. It is a fork in the road leading to each accommodation.
I wanted to take her to the girls' dormitory, but unfortunately, due to the rules of the academy, if I did, I would receive a severe warning. I don't know why this rule was made, but I'll follow it first.
In any case, it also means that the time has come for us to part. At the fork in the road, I shifted my gaze to Marie.
Coincidentally, Marie had just turned her head to me.
"… …"
We looked at each other without saying anything. Then he gave strength to the hand that was holding it.
What should I say at this time? Should I say I don't want to fall, or should I say goodbye to him?
As I was pondering on my lips, Marie looked at me with her moist eyes and quietly opened her mouth.
"…Isaac."
"…yes."
"That… you know. We…"
"Are you dating?"
As Marie hesitated and hesitated, I struck first. Then Marie frowned heavily, and then she slowly nodded her head.
I told her instead, but she is the one who turns her gaze to the side as if it's embarrassing. I smiled softly at this.
"I'll tell you frankly and frankly. Originally, the only story I wanted to tell you today was about Zeno. The behavior you showed me was unexpected."
"… …"
"Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't like you. You were the first friend I made when I entered the academy, and there was no other person I was comfortable with like you.
At my words, Marie slowly raised her face to face me. Her eyes fluttered slightly as if she was nervous.
Then I put my other hand to her face, not the one I was holding. A slightly warm yet soft texture passed through her hands.
Marie's eyes widened in amazement when I put her hand to her face. His face was also noticeably redder than before.
ugh-
I looked at her eyes, which began to tremble like an earthquake, and then slowly began to touch her face. And…
side-
My lips and Marie's lips met, just like Marie did to me in the dining room. If it was a bird kiss, I'd have to break it right here, but I didn't stop there.
"town…!"
It wasn't a simple kiss, it was followed by a deep kiss that would be common among lovers. There was no room for her tongue to fit in Marie's lips, but that doesn't matter. This was just an act to confirm my mind entirely.
Moreover, there is a high probability that Marie did not even realize that her lips were tight and closed, probably because she was extremely nervous. I wanted to tap my lips like a knock with my tongue, but I managed to resist. It is enough to take the intensity out slowly.
For now, we just need to check each other's feelings with only our lips pressed against each other. Marie would have liked it too.
"Whoah!"
"… …"
A long and short period of time passed, and as I parted my lips, Marie burst out of breath she had been holding back. Her face popped right away! It was red as if it was about to explode and he was breathing heavily.
I also wanted to fan my hands because my face was hot. I acted courageously in my opinion, but my embarrassment remains the same.
Then I looked at Marie, who was not sure what to do, and quietly opened my mouth. He couldn't hide his trembling voice.
"And now he has changed his mind."
"Uh… uh…"
It didn't matter if Marie couldn't think normally because of her embarrassment. I approached Marie and hugged her.
Then, I could feel Marie's body stiffen vividly.
Finally, I put my chin on Marie's shoulder and gave the final blow.
"I like you, Marie."
"… …"
"Is this okay?"
Then, Marie's stiff body loosened. Then she raised her arms and hugged me gently.
"…yes."
Her timid reply continued, and the two of us shared each other's warmth for a long time.
*****
Under the night sky with the Milky Way, the two men and women were about to share their body temperature while checking each other's feelings.
It was too late at night, so there were few passersby, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
"… …"
And a pair of red eyes stared intently at the lover who was making an act of love.
Although it was difficult to see the figure because it was hidden in the dark, it shone as clearly as the red eyes. Because of that, she felt even more ominous.
The person who watched the sweet atmosphere of the lover with complicated eyes narrowed his eyes in half.
The feeling of being very displeased has been fully expressed, and it seems as if they will leave at any moment.
"…no."
But soon after, I closed my eyes completely and suppressed the urge. Then, the red-eyed owner muttered in a meaningful voice.
"At least not now. Now…"
