Book 1 Chapter 1005
Luna made a dumbfounded expression upon seeing Leo disguised as an elf woman.
'What is that? Isn't that completely perverted?'
Luna, who was looking at Leo, who was beautiful to anyone who saw her, wore a serious expression.
'Did I really fall for a human like that?'
How should I put it?
She couldn't imagine a future where she would fall for Leo at all.
'Of course, I thought he was cool when he gave me flowers.'
Seeing her like this, it felt like that cool image was completely shattered.
'Did my future self go completely mad from studying magic?'
It couldn't be explained otherwise.
'Yeah. They must have gone crazy in the head. I don't want to become a crazy magician…'
Slap-!
"……?"
Luna blankly looked down at her right hand.
Her right hand had slapped Luna's cheek without her will.
Although it wasn't a hard slap, Luna couldn't help but look bewildered by the movement that clearly deviated from her intentions.
Meanwhile.
Lena, who was startled by Leo, covered her mouth with a cry of "Ah-!".
Elena placed her hands on Lena's shoulders.
"Why did this little kid here call Leo-gun 'Mama'?"
Elena narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
"Right. Where is Leo oppa exactly… Huh?! Could it be that elf woman?!"
Chelsea, who hadn't grasped the situation due to the influence of the perception-altering magic, widened her eyes.
Elena smiled brightly at Chelsea's reaction.
"Isn't she pretty?"
"What did you do to Leo oppa!"
As Chelsea protested with a bright red face, Elena pouted.
"Oh my? Look at this one? Do you think I could do that?"
"But you're the only one who could force Leo oppa into such an embarrassing state!"
"Doesn't she look surprisingly good for being embarrassing? And… Lily is doing that because she's being mean to Leo-gun."
Elena, who was acting innocent and blamed everything on Lily, looked down at Lena.
"By the way, who are you, little lady?"
"Come to think of it…"
Chelsea also looked at Lena, appearing perplexed.
"Just in case I'm asking, did you come from the future?"
Elena asked, her eyes half-closed.
In response to the question, Luna, who had been frowning and looking at her palm next to her, nodded instead of hesitating.
"Yes, that's right."
"And you…?"
Elena's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Luna.
She had broken free from the influence of the perception-altering magic cast on Luna.
"Today, I've seen so many… strange things."
Elena muttered and politely bowed to Luna.
Luna scratched her cheek at Elena's attitude.
"Anyway, if this kid really came from the future."
Eiran cautiously said, accepting Elena's words, who had narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
"Could she be… a descendant of Leo-nim… something like that?"
Although she said it questioningly, Eiran was certain.
Lena, who had covered her mouth and blinked at the question, slumped her shoulders.
"…Yes. That's right."
Lena readily admitted her identity.
"My name is Renacion Flov. The second princess of the Archy Kingdom, and…"
Lena glanced at the parade that was moving away in the distance.
"I am the granddaughter of Leo Flov."
***
Chelsea looked at Lena, who was sitting opposite her.
'Uncomfortable.'
The thought came to her mind automatically.
Elena and Eiran were sitting to Chelsea's left and right.
Luna was sitting next to Lena.
The reason Chelsea felt uncomfortable was very simple.
It was Lena's existence.
'Leo oppa's granddaughter?'
Her mind was in chaos.
Realizing that fact, she noticed that apart from her hair and eye color, she bore quite a resemblance to Leo.
'It doesn't seem like a lie.'
Chelsea's eyes darted around.
Actually, it wouldn't be strange for Leo to have children.
Leo was the king of a country.
It was natural to have offspring for succession.
The problem was…
'Whose child is she?'
As if sensing Chelsea's thoughts, Elena and Eiran also exuded a strange atmosphere.
Just then, the door opened, and an elf entered.
The place they were currently in was an elf-style tea house run by Seirun students.
Elf-style tea houses were characterized by luxurious rooms and the provision of all sorts of high-quality teas and snacks.
It was very different from the tea houses Chelsea usually frequented.
A Seirun student working as a server opened the door and quietly placed the snacks.
Eiran, who was sitting next to Chelsea, said.
"This tea house seems to be very popular with Lumern students."
Eiran had an expression of not understanding.
"Why do you think that is?"
"Well, it's nice."
"Huh? Isn't a human-social tea house much better?"
"It's a difference in culture. Well, unfamiliar cultures tend to feel fresher and better."
"Is that so?"
Eiran tilted her head and picked up the handle of the teacup.
Chelsea carefully picked up the saucer with both hands.
She brought it to her nose, smelled the aroma, and placed it on the table.
Then, she neatly arranged the teacups and closed her eyes, lifting the cup to her lips.
Clink-
"The tea is good."
Chelsea, savoring the tea, opened her eyes in admiration.
"Huh? Is there something on my face?"
Chelsea asked with a bewildered expression, and Eiran said.
"I was surprised by how elegant you were."
"The nobles of the Rodren Empire are indeed strict about etiquette. I didn't think Chelsea would be like that."
Chelsea gave a sheepish smile at Elena and Eiran's words.
"I usually drink it normally, but when I come to a place like this, I end up following etiquette."
The interior of the elf-style tea house was very luxurious, so Chelsea naturally followed etiquette.
"Hmm? You were a young lady from a noble family. Just like her."
Luna looked at Lena next to her.
Lena also smelled the tea and drank it, just like Chelsea.
It wasn't the first time she had done it.
Flawless etiquette.
Chelsea wore a strange expression as she watched.
'That's Rodren-style etiquette.'
It wasn't imitation, but the etiquette of someone who had been educated since childhood.
At that moment, Lena, whose eyes met Chelsea's, smiled with sparkling eyes.
It was as if she was saying, "Did I do well?"
As Chelsea looked at her with a strange expression.
"It's obvious she's my granddaughter."
Elena said with a sweet smile.
Chelsea glanced sideways.
"See, she's cute because she resembles me."
"You said she looked arrogant when you first saw her."
Chelsea said, pouting, and Elena smiled sweetly.
"Doesn't she resemble me in that too?"
At those words, Eiran fiddled with her hands and said.
"Well… since she's in elf form… she could be my granddaughter…"
"This is just a disguise."
Lena replied, fiddling with the tips of her pointed ears.
"Ah! I see."
Eiran nodded.
Elena tilted her head, looking at Eiran.
"Why aren't you disappointed?"
"Leo-nim is the king of a country, isn't he? Don't kings have many wives?"
"What?"
"Even if Lena isn't my granddaughter, wouldn't there be a child born between Leo and me?"
Chelsea looked stunned at those words.
"Moreover, whoever Lena was born to… it means that in the future, Leo will no longer see the women around him as children."
Elena looked at Lena with a slightly sulky expression after hearing that.
"Does your grandfather fool around with this woman and that woman in the future?"
"It's a secret."
Lena smiled sweetly and brought her index finger to her lips.
"And I could be Eiran-nim's granddaughter."
"What?"
"Because I have elf blood flowing in my veins."
Chelsea's mouth moved in a sputter, and Elena frowned slightly.
"Of course. My father could have elf blood."
"She's completely playing with us."
Elena pressed her temples.
"So? Who is your grandmother?"
Chelsea asked bluntly, frowning.
At those words, Lena blinked her red eyes.
"Are you sure you won't be shocked?"
"……."
Chelsea, who looked slightly tense at those words, nodded.
"Yes."
"It's Iliana."
"What?!"
Chelsea exclaimed and jumped up from her seat in shock.
Lena smiled sweetly at her reaction.
"It's a lie. Who my grandmother is is also a secret."
"Screeeech!"
Chelsea showed an expression of annoyance.
Lena burst into laughter, watching her.
"By the way, is it okay to reveal information that could change the future like this?"
Eiran asked cautiously, and Chelsea narrowed her brows.
"If you think about it, isn't this the world of heroes?"
It was a plausible hypothesis, but Elena shook her head.
"If that were the case, they wouldn't approach us like this… Seeing that our emotions aren't changing, it's not the world of heroes."
Lena sipped her tea at the words of the three.
"After all, I came here because of magic. There's no way the future will change. I even considered the possibility of my identity being revealed when I created the magic array."
Luna tilted her head after hearing Lena's explanation.
"Lena, your personality seems to have changed a bit all of a sudden?"
"Yes?"
Lena looked slightly flustered.
"Um… it's not that my personality has changed… it feels like you're treating us more familiarly than before? There's no distance."
"That too, but you seem more mature as well?"
Eiran blinked her large eyes and tilted her head, and Elena also looked perplexed.
At those words, Lena feigned innocence.
"I want to see more of the outside."
At that moment, Luna stood up and said.
"Oh, I'll go with you."
"We're going to where the pervert is, so come there."
Luna smiled and left the tea house.
"Pervert?"
Eiran tilted her head, and Chelsea replied.
"I think she's referring to Leo oppa?"
"Ah…"
Eiran understood and nodded awkwardly.
"By the way, granddaughter…"
"I'm really curious who her granddaughter is."
As Eiran and Chelsea's eyes darted around.
Elena stroked her chin.
"Hmm. Anyway, that human. It means he can be seduced if I try."
"Elena-senpai is quite proactive."
"Yes. I'm the type who needs to get what I like. By the way, how do I seduce that human?"
As Elena pondered.
"Um… the book said that you can seduce someone by giving them medicine. Wouldn't it be enough to make them drink something like that?"
"……."
"……."
Elena and Chelsea looked at Eiran.
"Eiran. There are no magical potions like the ones in those unhealthy books you read in human society."
"Huh? M- I mean! Aren't there love potions?! They appear so much in novels!"
"…There's no way."
Chelsea sighed softly.
Elena, seeing Eiran looking disappointed with her ears drooping, thought.
'If you look closely, this one seems the most dangerous.'
