Chapter 4 EPISODE 4 PLEIADES (4)

The next morning.

Jude thought as he woke up with a groan.

Im really weak.

Although he was healed by Cordelia, his Gueumjulmaek was still there.

When he woke up, he felt heavier and dizzy than usual.

I must hurry too.

He couldnt bear to wait for a month, let alone half a year. He had to cure his disease as soon as possible.

We dont have time.

There was still a few years left until the Great Summons, but the problem wasnt just the Great Summons.

Various events and items that appeared in

Legend of Heroes 2

.

They were literally left unattended. In other words, it meant that there was every possibility that anyone other than Jude and Cordelia could get their hands on it.

In the first place, even in

Legend of Heroes 2

, if a certain deadline was missed, there were many cases where a person who didnt participate in an event or collect an item wouldnt have a chance to do it again, so it would be even more true in this world where everything had become reality.

Even a little night walk in the garden was beyond his limits with the current Judes body thats in a bad shape.

After curing his disease and gaining a healthy body, he had to start training and optimizing it.

Okay, first, the

date

Lets start by applying for a quest instead of a

date

.

After Cordelia accepted his offer and tried to maintain their peace of mind from the word

date

, Jude got up from the bed and began his morning routine.

Wake up, wash up, and eat.

Usually, there would have been a greeting for his parents here, but both his father and mother were away from home.

Thanks to that, its easy to apply for a quest.

A full-fledged day outside while riding the carriage No, its a picnic, so it would usually be difficult to get permission because of Judes weak body.

Of course, its not going to be easy now.

Upon returning to the room after the meal, Jude glanced to the side. Maja looked differently at him than usual, because she was thinking of his mysterious conversation with Cordelia yesterday.

Her eyes were mixed with worries, concerns, and doubts that the young master might have something wrong with his brain.

In the meantime, should I say I want to offer Cordelia a carriage date?

In the meantime, how should I say that I want to ask out Cordelia for a carriage date?

How should he even apply for a date?

He knew that they couldnt just meet on the same day after deciding where to meet, unlike in the past life where they could use a messaging app.

No, isnt there a similar method?

According to Judes memory, he could write a letter asking for a date and send it to Count Chase, and if Count Chase and Cordelia agreed, we could then go on a date.

Itll take about two days.

But he couldnt help it. Although they were engaged, they were both minors and even one side was weak with a disease.

Hey, Maja.

Yes, young master.

That I am.

Yes, young master.

That Yellow No, Im requesting a quest from Lady Cordelia No, I mean a date Do you have any sites to suggest? That Well, like going out for some drinks in a nice place near the mountain Uh, yesterday! Thats right, we couldnt talk properly during her visit yesterday.

Why does he have to say that he wanted to go on a carriage date with Yellow Storm?

Jude was currently in deep agony, but what mattered most right now was Majas help, not the anguish of his heart.

Even if his parents were away, it was not possible to do everything according to his will.

It was impossible to go out of the mansion without Majas help, who is practically his elder sister, and is famous and recognized in the family.

Therefore, Jude looked at Majas lips with nervous eyes.

He had done a lot of nonsensical stuff in the past few days, but what if he was told to just stay home and get drunk here?

Pleaseplease, Maja! Dont make me say that I want to date Yellow Storm again!

Did Judes earnest heart reach her?

Maja nodded with a subtle smile instead of a cold expression.

Okay, lets get ready.

And then Maja smiles again, with her face expressing her following thoughts

I see, you actually wanted to get closer to Cordelia. You did it because you were embarrassed yesterday, and I thought you were all grown up, but you still havent. No, is this because youre a grown up now? Ufufu I think I can see the true intentions of your heart.

No, its not. Its not what Im thinking.

However, Jude was in a position where he could not deny it openly.

Then lets write an invitation to Lady Cordelia. In the first sentence, how about

To my Dear Lady Cordelia whom I deeply love

?

Maja Tantalotte.

Jude Bayers exclusive maid.

She is usually called the Ice Princess because of her cold expression, but in reality, she is a broad-minded woman.

Yes, yes

Accepting with a long sigh, Jude lifted his pen and began to write a love letter to Cordelia.

***

Two days later.

The carriage that departed from Count Chases manor and stopped at Count Bayers was now running smoothly over the road leading to the Belkain Mountains.

Four people were inside the carriage.

The first two was Count Bayers youngest son, Jude Bayer, and his exclusive maid, Maja Tantalotte, and the other two were Count Chases daughter, Cordelia Chase, and her escort knight, Dahlia Ale.

The people of both families took their place in the form of facing each other.

In other words, Cordelia sat opposite Jude.

Do you not like it? I hate it too.

Cordelia also had to reply to Judes love letter.

Cordelias letter was also a love letter, as it was about going out on a date in a carriage and drinking together.

Yes, I know how you feel.

He felt the same way when he wrote the letter.

But instead of sighing, the corners of Judes mouth raised slightly. It was because of the sight of Cordelia in front of him.

Its a complete full set, perfect for a date.

She was going to see flowers with her fianc.

She wore a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun out and her white and heavy dress, with a long skirt filled with laces, made her pinkish-red hair stand out.

Of course, it completely looked good on her.

Anyone would admit that Cordelia was a very beautiful girl.

Honestly, if you separate the fact that she was Yellow Storm, her appearance was pretty and cute enough to the point of applause.

Yes, if only she was not Yellow Storm.

As the pretty girl in front of him was also letting out looks of admiration at his looks, and as he thought that she was Yellow Storm, he couldnt help giggling and letting out a laugh.

Well, Im in the same situation.

Jude also came here dressed in the best clothes for a date. Furthermore, Jude also had an Adonis kind of look. So, Cordelia who saw him, was blushing.

As expected of Yellow Storm. Youre true to your instincts. Its just a beast, a beast.

No, Im not? Its not like that? Arent you the one whose eyes are wide open?

They only exchanged glances once and they felt like they could hear each others thoughts.

Then Maja and Dahlia looked at the two, each with a happy face.

Theyre a good match.

Youre both cute.

As the pair looked at each other, snarling and laughing, the other two who misunderstood their behavior as embarrassment, smiled warmly.

And half a day passed by.

The carriage finally reached their destination, the middle of the Belkain mountain range.

***

Hey, isnt the weather nice?

I know. The flowers are very pretty. No, not as much as Cordelia, of course.

Oh, dear heavens! No. If you make fun of me like that

The two walked for a few minutes while exchanging words awkwardly as if reading a Korean book.

The pair, barely keeping their distance from Maja and Dahlia who looked pleased, sighed at one point.

F*ck, I really cant do this.

I dont care how much you curse but do it with a smile. Because I can see your face.

Oh, f*ck. Really f*ck. I cant f*cking do this.

Jude felt dizzy and tried to speak, but at the same time, he felt a sense of self-destruction that he was thrilled with the appearance of a beautiful girl who kept cursing.

By all means, hold it in. Weve already come all the way here.

But what are we going to do now? Its still quite some distance from here to the seal.

I have an idea. Did you bring all the supplies?

Excuse me, of course. Who do you think I am?

Yellow Storm whos 2

nd

in the server.

Yeah, Im the servers DIE! No, should I just go back?

Aww, dont be upset being second. Dont lose your smile even when you turn around, okay? Now, smile?

Cordelia, who gave him a middle finger instead of a smile, laughed as she glared at Jude, who said after coughing in vain.

At least, youve got the items.

Huh, did you know I was troubled hiding it inside my skirt?

As she said that, she lightly shook her skirt.

Good. As expected, its Yellow Storm. I believed in you. Thats my Yellow Storm.

I dont really want to be

your

Yellow Storm, so tell me the plan first. How do you intend to go from here to the seal?

It was just the two of them here, so Maja and Dahlia were watching with their eyes wide open.

Jude stealthily moved his body, completely turning his back on Maja and Dahlia, and said in a quiet voice.

Its simple. See that cliff over there?

I see it. Its the end of the flower field.

Once we get there, you carry me and jump off.

It sounded crazy, but Yellow Storm was convinced of his plan. She could tell that Outboxer009 could say this to her because he had a map.

Is there a secret passage under the cliff?

Its not a secret passage, but about 10 meters downwards, theres a path under the cliff. Well go that way to the seal.

Jude had checked the terrain on his way here.

And he was sure of one thing.

Although there were some slight differences, if one looks at the big picture, the terrain of this world and that of

Legend of Heroes 2

matched.

Of course, remembering the way was possible because he was the one who had reached rotten water status from just stagnant water.

Will Maja and Dahlia come after us?

Because its 10 meters down, they wont be able to come down quickly. And we have a solution for that too.

What is it?

Instead of answering Cordelias question immediately, Jude took a moment to pause. At the time that Cordelia, who as always tried to interject him, he opened my mouth.

Just make one promise first.

What promise?

The promise to hear me and not be angry. Dont even hit me.

what are you going to say?

Is that a promise?

Yes, so what the hell is it?

Its this

Jude started talking in a low voice.

After a while

At the edge of the flower field.

Jude looked behind his back and signaled to Cordelia.

Now!

As promised in advance, Cordelia suddenly held Judes hand. Maja and Dahlia, who saw the bold skinship, let out surprised voices, but there was still more to be surprised.

Run!

Jude and Cordelia ran towards the cliff edge and leapt without any hesitation.

Young master?!

Miss?!

No, what are the things that those who are already engaged doing now? Its not that their love is unachievable in this life that theyre trying to achieve it in the next life.

Either way, the surprised Maja and Dahlia reached the cliff edge in the blink of an eye. And they both breathe a sigh of relief.

This is because they witnessed the sight of Cordelia, who carried Jude in her arms, landing on the ground with <Fly> magic.

Young master!

Miss!

Maja and Dahlia, who both raised their voices, looked around helplessly. They were trying to find a way down.

As expected!

Dahlia did not know how to use <Fly> magic.

Jude hurriedly urged Cordelia, and Cordelia shouted with a completely red face.

I want to spend time together with Ju-Jude! Well be back before dinner, so just wait! Dont worry about us!

Miss!

Dahlia shouted out of panic, and Jude urged Cordelia again.

Quickly! Quickly, the next line!

Were not going to do anything weird! So, dont worry! Ju-Jude is a gentleman!

This was enough.

Maja and Dahlia were the only ones here anyway. Count Chases coachman was taking a nap in a faraway place, so if only Maja and Dahlia were to shut their mouths, the coachman would not know.

Either way, they succeeded in getting away from Maja and Dahlia, and they also finished making excuses to earn time. Now, the only thing left was to head for the seal quickly.

Lets go! Quickly!

Cordelia reacted quickly to Judes prompting. It was also because she felt like she wanted to hide herself in a mouses hole.

After a few minutes.

Once they could no longer see Maja and Dahlia, Cordelia burst into anger.

Oh really! Why did I have to do it! No, carrying you while jumping off a cliff, making excuses, and then I felt like you tried to hit me!

She said that with a terrible face.

For such a Cordelia, Jude explained in his calmest possible tone.

Ive already said it once, I have Gueumjulmaek. I cant carry you with this slender arm. And how will I hit you? It doesnt make sense if I hit you. Why, Im a man with a disease.

That Gueumjulmaek! Gueumjulmaek! Just heal that Gueumjulmaek!

Yeah, Ill hug you so that youll feel better, Ill also hit you.

No thanks? What is this crazy guy saying?

Yes, yes. Anyway, are you feeling better now? Then lets hurry up. We dont have much time.

The possibility that Maja and Dahlia would really wait for them was zero. They had to finish their job before the two finds them.

Ha, really. Just heal that Gueumjulmaek.

Yes, as soon as it gets better, Ill bake or boil or do whatever you want, so lets go to the seal first.

Take the lead.

Come along then.

Looking back on the surrounding terrain, Jude strode along.
