“You’ve worked hard. You can rest for today.”

“Hmm, I had a lot of fun.”

I dropped Mirna to Room 6.

Mirna was surprisingly bright, as if she really enjoyed herself.

Meanwhile, I was anxious and uncomfortable.

Knowing that Elga would be in Room 5, the one right next to Mirna’s, was so heartbreaking that I couldn’t calm myself down.

Dalgak, jeolkeodeok-.

When the door to Mirna’s room finally closed, I crept to the next room and knocked on Elga’s door.

“… Elga-nim, it’s me, Theo.”

I softly said, in a voice that only Elga could hear. Though, there were no signs of someone from the inside.

Seureureuk-.

When I turned the doorknob, it was surprisingly not locked.

“Excuse me.”

I quickly went into Elga’s room lest anyone were to see me. Her room was cool, like an air conditioned office.

Turned out, her window was wide open. The wind blew her curtains to and fro.

Knock-knock, rattle, rattling-.

I closed the noisy window and headed towards the big bump under the blanket. Elga should be there.

“Umm, Elga-nim.”

“…….”

“I can see your feet outside the blanket.”

Seureuk.

Hearing this, Elga immediately retracted her feet inside.

She was like a snail hiding under her shell. It almost made me laugh.

“How are you, Elga-nim? Did you get hurt from the duel with Mirna-nim?”

“…….”

Elga didn’t answer. The silence was more terrifying than all the swear words Elga had thrown at me combined.

So I tucked my palms under the blanket, when…

“Aak-!”

Elga suddenly bit my hand like a dog! No, a lion!

Shaken, I hastily pulled my hand out. I could clearly see Elga’s teeth marks.

“Blood, there is blood!”

I was naturally lying. However, the lie had worked as the blanket was lifted and I could feel a pair of blue eyes peering into my palm.

“… You aren’t bleeding!”

“Of course, I was lying. So, Elga-nim, are you in a bad mood?”

“I don’t know, you idiot… Go away!”

Didn’t it feel like Elga’s mood was slowly getting better? I poked the side of the big bump on the blanket.

“Fuhuhu-.”

“You’re laughing now?”

“… Go away!”

“I was wrong. Please don’t be angry.”

“Wrong? What did you do wrong?”

What did I do wrong?

Oh my God, to think there came a day I was hearing such a question.

I wondered how many men had felt so weak and powerless in front of their lover. What should a man say in this situation?

I decided to act like a sinner who had committed a terrible crime, reproaching myself and acting wretchedly.

“At that time, I didn’t choose Elga-nim….”

“You don’t have to say anything, okay?”

Elga cut me off. She then took off the blanket and got up.

Elga’s voluminous blonde hair scattered as she raised her head, while her sapphire-blue eyes were so swollen that her eyes turned red.

I thought about saying something, but she just told me not to. So, I just said nothing. At this time, tears began to roll down Elga’s cheeks.

Elga said in a weeping voice.

“That duel is mine to win. Mirna didn’t have her Lich. I only needed one more shot. I could’ve won.”

“Yes, it was. Elga-nim almost won.”

“I had an advantage throughout the battle.”

“Indeed, you have.”

“But, why at the end? Do I have to feel defeated?”

“… I’m sorry….”

I apologized like a wronged child. Then, Elga’s expression subtly softened.

“… No, what did you do wrong? You just did what you had to do. Rather….”

Elga suddenly stopped talking and mumbled. It was like she got something stuck in her throat and couldn’t get it out.

“What is it?”

“Rather…, I am the one at fault. Because, I’ve been tormenting you, Theo, all this time.”

“Yes?”

I asked back in surprise. Was Elga really admitting her mistakes right now?

“Theo, I would understand if you go to Mirna because she treats you better. Still, I can’t help it. I feel abandoned and alone. I’m just a mean girl bawling under a blanket.”

Elga was really holding back her tears. It was ruining her beauty. She seemed to realize what she’d done wrong.

Elga was probably afraid that I would abandon her for Mirna because she kept bullying me.

But, that would never happen.

I calmly asked Elga.

“So, then, is Elga-nim sorry for bullying me?”

“…….”

Elga neither affirmed nor denied.

She just held back her tears. Perhaps her last bit of pride was stopping her to vocally apologize to me.

“… But, it was just a joke.”

A joke? Would jokes give you a scar on the eye!? Of course, this wound was already buried during my first time with Elga.

Still, what did you mean, ‘a joke’?

I almost got angry, but I tried to remain calm.

It was a miracle in itself that Elga had come to the point of admiring her mistakes.

Was it possible that this was the reason why Elga was the only one to avoid the execution ending and even obtained a position as a Villain Hunter Party Member?

Regardless, this was an opportunity for me to change the relationship between me and Elga.

I simply could not miss this opportunity.

“If Elga-nim really feels sorry for me. How about experiencing a change of position with me?”

“… Change of position?”

Elga asked in confusion.

I then rummaged through my pockets and pulled out an item I had received in class the other day. It was a leash. The same leash that Aira wore.

Seeing this, Elga’s blue eyes widened in disbelief.
