Chapter 163.2

(EP-163.2) Night #4

163 – Day and Night #4

As we were talking about this and that, time had quietly passed midnight and it was approaching three in the morning.

It was the early hours of a weekday.

Given the extensive tasks I had to complete the following morning, staying awake and engaging with someone until such a late hour did feel somewhat burdensome.

I’d be exhausted all day.

Should I skip my morning run for the day? No, Elga would make a fuss.

As I was expecting a difficult day ahead of me, a refreshed Narmi said to me on the promenade overlooking the dormitory.

“Thank you for today, Theo. I came to you out of the blue and started chatting about everything. Hopefully I wasn’t too much of a nuisance. Heu-.”

Heu- She playfully stuck out her tongue, like a teenage girl trying to make amends for a mistake with aegyo. Her face was quite flushed, probably from the alcohol.

Maemmaem-.

Jeujeujeu-.

Buzzing summer insects echoed all around us.

Narmi then added.

“I’m a bit embarrassed to say this, but I don’t actually have any friends. I didn’t have anyone to talk to like this late at night, so I apologize if I acted a bit childish towards you, Theo.”

Narmi probably wasn’t lying. Not many people knew about her existence and very few people could be her friends considering that humans generally moved during the day and slept at night.

Compared to Mirna, who grew up surrounded by many as the Young Lady of the Draco Family, Narmi felt like a loner.

However, didn’t Mirna say the opposite? That people liked Narmi more than her?

... Argh, I didn’t know. The relationship between these sisters was too complicated!

I escorted her to the front of her room.

Now, all she had to do was open the door and go inside, but for some reason, Narmi hesitated to enter.

“Once I go in, by the time I wake up again, the sun will have set. I won’t see the faces of the people walking around in the morning, nor will I see the fields and flowers shining under the summer sun....”

“Mirna-nim? Not really.... Is something the matter?”

“No, I just noticed she’s causing a ruckus in her room—”

Causing a ruckus?

Elga’s words made my heart race.

So, after finishing my run, I hurriedly headed to Mirna and Narmi’s dormitory. From which I heard a commotion, like something being vigorously smashed from inside the room.

This was definitely a sign that something was up...

“Mirna-nim, are you okay? Excuse me for a moment.”

Then, regardless if I was being rude, I opened the door. Luckily, it wasn’t locked. But what mattered most was the state of the room that lay beyond.

“... Lady Mirna?”

It was a fancy dormitory befitting the Young Lady of the Draco Family.

However, right now, the spacious room was sprawled with shards of glass. The sight of my own face reflected in the broken glass on the floor was disconcerting.

The shattered pieces were from the windows and mirrors.

And seeing the blood dripping from Mirna’s hand, she clearly smashed them with the back of her hand and fist.

“Iyaa, what happened here?”

Elga, who followed me, entered the room and clicked her tongue at the sight.

“It’s like a battlefield.”

“You two, who gave you permission to barge in as you please!?”

Mirna turned to me with an unusually chilly tone in her voice.

Quick update:

October has been rough for me mentally but I’m better now. I’ll be updating everyday in the next few days to make up for the lack of updates this past 3 weeks.
