Chapter 154
The Young Lady’s Estate was quiet.
After lunch, I was enjoying teatime, and as I drank the crunchy nurungji from the teacup, I nodded my head.
“Hmm… indeed, nurungji is the best for overeating.”
Nurungji with a Korean sentiment.
It’s just well-made rice that’s been scorched over a fire, but when it comes to soothing a bloated stomach, there’s nothing better than this, since there’s no Gas Whalmyungsoo in this world.
I had eaten too much at the Friends of Forest earlier, and my stomach hadn’t digested yet, but after eating the nurungji, my stomach felt more at ease.
Nurungji is better than Americano, indeed.
As I put the teacup with the nurungji on the table and was taking in the cool breeze,
“Ricardo.”
The Young Lady, who was sniffing the aroma, looked at the teacup with the nurungji and said,
“What are you eating?”
“It’s nurungji.”
“Nurungji…?”
“Ah, should I say sungnyung?”
“Sungnyung?”
“You can think of it as a drink that mister eats.”
“Ricardo mister?”
“No?”
The Young Lady sniffed the nurungji on the table repeatedly.
She seemed curious about the brown liquid in front of her.
The Young Lady brought her cat-like eyes to the table, rested her cheek on it, and rolled her eyes as she asked,
“Is it delicious?”
“No, it just smells good.”
“Hmm…”
The Young Lady glanced at me once, then slowly reached for the nurungji on the table.
I pretended not to see the Young Lady’s cute face as she moved her hand while glancing at me, and I made a comment about the weather, “The weather is nice,” while hiding my smile.
“Oh…”
As the Young Lady blew on the teacup to cool it down, I heard a sucking sound, followed by her surprised exclamation.
The Young Lady made a cute sound, “Oh!”
The Young Lady, who was eating nurungji for the first time, had her eyes wide open.
The food of the commoners seemed to have suited her taste.
I smiled as I looked at the Young Lady, who had a smile on her face, and thought that her taste was not very noble-like.
“Is it delicious?”
“Eh…?!”
The Young Lady, who had been caught eating the nurungji, quickly pulled her face back from the teacup and pretended she didn’t know what I was talking about.
“I didn’t eat it!”
As the Young Lady turned her head towards the window and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I looked at her with a straight face, and she looked sulky.
“It’s just that you didn’t eat much.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Were you going to say something?”
“Have I ever scolded you for eating?”
“Yes, you have.”
“…That’s true.”
As the Young Lady looked down, I smiled and made eye contact with her.
“So, was it delicious?”
“Yes, it’s a strange taste. It’s very fragrant and makes me feel healthy. I don’t know about the taste, but it’s somehow addictive.”
“Oh… the Young Lady is getting older too.”
“No! I’m young.”
“It’s only natural.”
“Cheeky…”
The Young Lady, who was making a face and talking, pushed her teacup towards me and said,
“Want to switch and drink mine? It’s cocoa.”
“You have no conscience, do you?”
“I left one sip.”
“Who puts just one sip in someone’s nose? And this isn’t even one sip, is it?”
“If you close your eyes, it’ll feel like one sip.”
“…”
“No?”
As the Young Lady looked at me with a sulky face, I shook my head and surrendered to her whining.
Since nurungji was easy to make and the ingredients weren’t expensive, I looked at the brown nurungji and nodded at the Young Lady.
The Young Lady’s cute face as she looked at the nurungji was something I couldn’t resist.
“Fine, then.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
A noble who likes nurungji, the Villainess – I was in a good mood because of the Young Lady’s strange taste.
“I don’t think you’re very noble-like, Young Lady.”
“I am noble, though.”
“No, it’s not that. Your taste isn’t very noble-like, Young Lady. You eat anything that’s given to you.”
“No, I don’t like carrots, bell peppers, or eggplants…”
As the Young Lady counted the foods she didn’t like on her fingers, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Most nobles would only like refined food and luxurious dishes, but the Young Lady was far from that.
And the Villainess, who knew how to say “thank you,” had a shy reaction that touched my heart.
In the past, the Young Lady never said “thank you.”
-Not thankful!
-I want to eat meat!
-That’s the Butler’s job, of course.
I thought that time might make people more docile.
The Young Lady before her collapse was like a rabid dog – the analogy was a bit extreme, but she used to complain a lot.
-I won’t eat it!
-Eat it.
-I said I won’t eat it! Bell peppers and eggplants are a bad combination!
After her collapse, the Young Lady, who only ate the food I made, used to complain a lot.
Perhaps it was because of that time that our relationship became closer.
It’s good that it’s good.
The Young Lady during her Academy Days was a person with a strong sense of self.
She would insult commoners.
If someone was of a lower status, she would ignore them and treat others carelessly, and most of all, she knew she was superior to everyone else.
After losing her leg due to the Dark Magic incident, her coldness had disappeared, but if it were to return, I wouldn’t know what would happen.
The Young Lady I see and the Olivia that others see would be different, after all.
In the novel, the Young Lady was a crazy woman.
She was a Villainess who fit her name, with a cruel personality and a sharp tongue.
She was like Darbav, gentle to those close to her but cold to others, as described in the novel.
However, the difference was that in the novel, no one was on the Villainess’s side.
Anyway, I liked the Young Lady’s appearance, both now and in the past, so it didn’t matter.
“It’s delicious…!”
I smiled as I looked at the Young Lady, who had her fist clenched and her eyes sparkling.
I should make more nurungji.
I went down to the kitchen to boil some nurungji, and the Young Lady was smiling as she emptied her teacup.

In front of the Student Council Room in the Academy.
The Executives, who had come out to discuss the incident that had occurred before the start of the new semester, were entering the Student Council Room one by one.
2nd Year Top Student.
3rd Year Top Student.
Treasurer, General Affairs Officer, Disciplinary Committee, and other students with Executive qualifications were entering the Student Council Room.
And in front of the door, a man with green hair was waiting for someone with an anxious expression.
“Why aren’t you here…”
‘Tuk.’ Ruin, who was biting his nails, muttered to himself in a worried voice, as he had arrived early but the person he was waiting for was nowhere to be seen.
Since the day his unique magic stopped working, Ruin had been emotionally unstable.
The magic that had allowed him to stand out from others, his own talent, was now gone.
The unique ability that had allowed him to efficiently create fire magic was now gone, leaving Ruin’s body like a blank piece of paper.
He could still use magic, but it was slower to learn, and having spent his whole life studying fire magic, the loss of his “Fire Script” ability was a huge problem for Ruin.
Ruin’s self-esteem had hit rock bottom.
And the only person who could solve this problem was one person.
Not that they could solve the fundamental problem, but the person who could comfort him and listen to his troubles was Yuria.
Ruin was waiting for Yuria.
To tell her about his mistake and his situation.
Ruin, who wanted to whine and be comforted, waited in front of the Student Council Room for a while.
About 10 minutes passed.
In the distance, a familiar silhouette was walking towards him.
‘Yuria!’
Ruin smiled.
Yuria, who was walking down the stairs, was as beautiful as always, and Ruin thought she would smile gently at him and listen to his worries as if they were her own.
Ruin, who had been leaning against the corridor, pushed himself off and walked towards Yuria.
With hurried footsteps, he quickly walked towards Yuria.
With an awkward smile, Ruin walked towards Yuria, and when she stood in front of him, he said in a trembling voice.
“Yuria, I missed you…”
Yuria said, without looking at Ruin.
In a cold, emotionless voice, she said.
“Don’t talk to me.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t want to talk to you.”
‘Tuk.’ Yuria patted Ruin’s shoulder and walked past him without looking back.
Ruin, who wanted to follow Yuria, turned around with unsteady footsteps.
Because he wanted to talk to her.
To apologize and tell her about his mistake.
Ruin thought that if he apologized, Yuria would definitely forgive him, so he desperately tried to follow her.
But.
“Senior.”
His junior, Histania Hanna, did not allow him to do so.
“You’ve done something interesting, haven’t you?”
“What?”
“I heard from Yuria. What you did.”
Histania Hanna looked at Ruin with a dry smile.
With a cold voice and a stiff expression, Hanna’s tone was not like the junior he knew.
The eyes that looked at Ruin with interest were so intense that they seemed to be filled with anger.
Hanna said with an empty laugh.
“You really are comparable to someone, aren’t you?”
Hanna’s words were like a dagger to Ruin.
