(EP-281.1) Fairy and Summer Trip #5

281 – The Clumsy Fairy and the Summer Trip #5

While Stella quickly left her seat, Mirna pinched my side tightly.

Then, with a voice as stern as an interrogating officer, she asked, “Is Lady Bellhawk also part of that plan?”

I thought that smart as she is, Mirna might have already guessed the answer. But it seemed she wanted to hear it directly from me to end the conversation.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

As Calm Thinking kicked in, many thoughts raced through my mind in a short span of time.

For example, things like this:Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Had Mirna ever forgiven me for the lies I told, for proceeding with things on my own?

However, to say she had fully approved would be somewhat inaccurate.

Forgiveness and permission—there’s a subtle difference between the two.

As I realized that our future married life might hinge on the answer I give here, a sense of resolve spread through me like ink.

“Mirna-nim...”

“... Why are you calling me?”

Mirna glared at me after pinching my side. I said to her.

“You’re right, Mirna-nim.”

“......!”

Mirna seemed taken aback, her mouth slightly agape as if she were dizzy, and then she glared at me with her tightly furrowed brows.

“So, was this entire journey planned for that purpose? Did you recruit Lady Bellhawk as a guide as part of your scheme, Sir Theo...!?”

“That’s not it.”

“Liar! There’s no way someone as meticulous and cunning as you wouldn’t have orchestrated all of this!”

Meticulous and cunning?

What am I in Mirna’s head?

However, in this case, I hadn’t planned anything specific. It was merely coincidental. Nevertheless, it can be said that this journey has its own fortunes.

“But right now, Elga-nim has secured quite a lot of points and is in the lead. She also helped significantly in winning you over. And most importantly, in her womb....”

I stopped talking at that point.

There was no need to say more. A clever person like Mirna would easily recall how history has shown the kind of treatment a queen who has given birth to the first child receives.

“... Was it Leonoi?”

“It’s Leonor.”

“That’s a girl’s name. So it’s a girl?”

“I’m not really sure about that.”

“Hmph... What a silly conversation.”

Whoosh.

Mirna grabbed her dish and quickly headed in the direction Stella had left.

In the end, I was left alone at the table, drenched in beer.

━Gyuiiiing.

No, I wasn’t entirely alone.

“This trip is going to be tougher than I thought.”

━Yingyingyaing.

The next morning.

When I opened my eyes to a tickling sensation, I found Mirna staring at me. She had woken me up with her feather fan.

“Ah, Lady Mirna.”

As I rubbed my sleepy eyes, Mirna spoke to me in a subtle tone.

“Since I’ve woken you up this morning, do I get points?”

“... Yes? Um, ah, points. Umm... Well, I’m not sure.”

“Why are you being vague?”

“Well, it’s just that waking me up in the morning alone might not be enough to earn points...”

“Then what do I need to do to get points?”

“.......”
