Duke, Please Repent! chapter 254

47. The Duke's Advantage (1)

As Serpens had planned, we had to leave the capital before the weekend came.

"So, have you considered the advantages?"

I got on the train and threw a question at Serpens.

He coughed a little and looked into my eyes.

Dodging it, a question appeared on the faces of Eugene and Winston.

" Is there still time left?"

"By the way, someone left the place of punishment even though the deadline was still left.

Serpence talked about the deadline and avoided the answer, but I am not the one to fall for such a shallow number.

Realizing that his plan had been exposed, the guy shamelessly aimed at me again

saw.

The more he did, the more the doubts on the faces of the party grew deeper.

It's an advantage, what do you mean all of a sudden?

No, well! Is there anything this bastard can't show off any of his strengths?

Even one?

Eugene's eyes widened.

Serpence, who faced Eugene's eyes full of surprise, put on an embarrassed expression.

I'm just embarrassed to say

Could it not have been?"

Eugenes, who had glanced at Serpence once, brought up a new family.

I really wish it was like that.

The conversation I had with him that day completely blocked that possibility.

He's a shy guy, but not this time.

" What do you think of your master?"

A timid, shy, and shy child at times, but when you get to know him, he is a warm and weak child.

Considering the authority of the lord fence, I chose one word at most and used it. Winston was speechless and looked at Serpens.

Rather, Serpens, who received the attention, gave a relieved expression. Maybe it's because you know I've been very restrained.

Could it be because of the expression connoting a bit of praise? There was a faint expression of satisfaction on his face.

Anyway, tell me about the merits quickly.

"Is there still four days left?"

But, don't you have a few things in mind? Come on, come on!

Right now?

Satisfaction disappeared from the boy's face, and embarrassment loomed over him.

I thought, 'If I go abroad anyway, I won't be able to carry out the penalty.' After going through the process of 'By the time I come back, Xion will also forget that there was such a penalty.' 'You wouldn't have come to that conclusion, did you?''

"O.Uh "

--9 - 口

Hey, my child would be so cruel! Isn't that right? Believe it?

Every time I said a word, he twitched and shook his body. Then, at the last word I believed, I burst into tears.

If you don't offer any of your strengths, you'll end up as a traitor who broke your promise to me.

'Who came up with such a trick?'

It's all self-sufficient.

Me, narcissism... Can't you answer when there's only the two of us?

I don't know Serpense-? After saying that, you're not going to make a place for just the two of you, right?

As if my words pierced the corner, Serpens's gaze turned to his feet.

Even if he thought about it, it was probably because he was embarrassed by the childish idea and couldn't raise his head.

It almost made me laugh a little at the cat's behavior as if it was looking for a mouse hole, but I tried hard to maintain a strict expression.

"Why did you play tricks like that?"

ugh... .

Otherwise, I would have asked you to write it down on a piece of paper on the last day. Oh, of course, you know we've crossed the water now, right? Why is there such a thing as a slander?"

" O uh... I .

Ji, come on. Please tell me quickly. It's not like you haven't been able to think of one, right? I've pointed out some things, so you need to answer at least three?

Ugh...!

what to do His reaction is so funny that I want to keep making fun of him.

But it's not good to drive too much. If you tease him more, the crybaby fence may appear.

All things require quick control.

It's been tight for a while, now it's time to release it.

Instead, why not extend the deadline and say only one a day starting tomorrow? That's how you fill in 10.

Are you going to squeeze out 10 in the remaining four days, or are you going to say 3 today and earn 7 more days, one a day?

The answer is no different than mine.

Is that really okay?

Serpens slowly made eye contact and spoke carefully. It's a very poignant expression.

When I see this, I can't believe the deeds of the Corruption Fence I saw in [Master of the Holy Sword].

He's such a naive and simple guy, how did he come up with such a scheme?

Okay! Today, I swear by the 'milfeuille' sandwiched with mango cream prepared for Serpence's share!

If you even say that... Serpence, who recognized my sincerity, nodded.

Winston looked a bit puzzled, but Serpens couldn't see it because he was too busy squeezing out his strengths.

The boy groaned and fell into trouble. "Did you really not think of anything?" Oh, no. thought I did... . Maybe nothing came to mind, or something embarrassing to say. Serpens hesitated.

Anyway, you need to know that you're timid.

Don't you know that the more you do that, the more you attract attention?

Eugeus waited for him to open his mouth with dazzling eyes.

Winston had a look on his face as if it was okay, but he couldn't hide his curiosity.

The guy, who had been hesitating in everyone's expectations, had another thought that came to mind, so he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at me.

"Then, can you tell me the 10 strengths?

would you?"

"Of course, why can't you do that?"

Then let's try it.

numbers are clearly visible. If I give you an advantage, I will consider it.

'A little bit, I gave it to you!'

I read the example sentences written by others first before writing the self-introduction letter, and there is nothing wrong with having an example.

Especially if I remember that he couldn't even find the criteria for his strength.

"Then, first of all, I am proud."

Isn't that shameless...?

"Is it shameful to say it badly, or to be bold when it's good? And secondly, I'm handsome."

...that's so shameless.

I have only said two things yet, but Serpens stuck out his tongue at my dignifiedness.

I guess I'll pay tribute to my wonderful side that I don't have. Or say it.

"Compared to Serpens, he can't even follow his toes, but Serpens are of a post-human level, aren't they?

It's just that he's handsome. Right, Euges?

...I'm an elf, so I think it's a little difficult to judge how good a human is. But it's nice to see a confident figure.

That's weird. I can't even find the 実' character for ugly, but somehow I feel like I've been told that I'm ugly.

Hahaha, by elf standards, any average human would look ugly. As it is a true race, it must have been impossible to lie.

"How does Winston look?"

" if I lose weight, I don't think I'll look good."

It's not that I haven't seen him lose weight.

Is it the same psychology as saying to an ugly child, 'You will become handsome when you grow up'?

Maybe he's a muscle devotee and can't say he's handsome with a fat face. Then there is nothing you can do

However, understanding with the head did not relieve the cluttered mind.

Wow, that's a real shame! I grew up hearing my mom say I'm handsome every day since I was little?!

叶...

All of a sudden, Serpence caught on.

He must have recalled the possibility that Yoo Seon-woo's face, which he had never actually seen before, was handsome.

It would be nice to just accept it as a sign of having confidence.

"Then what about the third?"

Huh, are you proud?

I stretch out my thumb and index finger under my chin

said to

No matter how arrogant I say, Serpence is an action taken on the basis that it cannot be denied.

As expected, he nodded with a look of anger. It means accepting it as an advantage.

Fourth, positive mind. Fifth, bright and energetic personality. 6th, caring for others 一. 7th, good counselling 一. 8th, excellent sociability. 9th, not picky eaters. 10th, handsome and scared of money I have a good friend!

"Last said, that friend".

Of course Serpens!

Is that an advantage?

If it were known that he was friends with him, only him would know how much people would envy him.

How can I be so proud of my friend, but not the other way around?

It's not a big deal to have an advantage. Think easy, easy!

Ummm...

As if Serpens knew it, it was mysterious

made a face

When I throw a topic like this, thinking deeply and thinking about it is also one of his strengths.

Acknowledging that the second merit is somewhat controversial, let me say one more thing in particular.

"Can I still give you more?"

Of course! I'm an absolute plus!

Serpens nodded his head at the lightly thrown words.

When I see those eyes that even show respect, my shoulders automatically shrug

lost.

Eleventh, I love myself!

I finished the list of merits with a confident smile.

Beyond the glasses of the guy who looked at me with a blank face as if possessed, my triumphant face was reflected in the green eyes.

properly impressed.

Ugh~, I was really cool! Isn't it?

If only I hadn't added that word.

Serpens straightened his expression and answered with a grunt for nothing.

I envy myself who can confidently say that I love myself, and I thought that I wanted to be like him. Probably because I'm embarrassed to say it with my mouth.

"Hey, you still look like you want to have me as your perfect older brother, don't you?"

You are mistaken.

One of my strengths that I didn't say is that I can read Serpense's expressions well, right?

You lost one advantage today.

Don't do that, call me hyung! If that's difficult, hyung!

Isn't the difficulty level higher?

"If you miss the original bandit, anything becomes more difficult."

Realizing that the more he talked, the more he would put him at a disadvantage, Serpens kept his mouth shut. He has a stubborn expression as if he won't open his mouth no matter what.

However, unlike his expression, he opened his mouth before I could say anything.

Instead of calling you like that, if I could cut the number of advantages in half, I would.

I thought I heard wrong.

Does it make sense to throw away your ego just to mention 5 strengths?

He calmed his mind and looked around.

Eugenes smirked, and Winston covered his face with the palm of his hand as if he couldn't watch anymore.

'I heard you right, right.'

It's a very harsh proposal, but this kind of compromise is not right.

Even if I give right education, I should refuse. I should... .

Then I'll give you just one.

refuse.

It seems that the calculation was not correct.

There were signs of worry, but the guy eventually refused.
