(EP-43.2) Too Many #4

043 Too Many Secrets #4

Narmi and I chatted for a while near the balcony.

We mainly talked about the Status Window. I was able to figure out that it was not something anyone could just receive.

So only warriors that pass a secret esoteric ritual can obtain a System?

Yes! That is why only the senior students of the Church receive the blessing Oh my-!

After talking for a while, Mirna suddenly trembled.

Whats wrong?

My sister seems to be slowly waking up! If I get caught doing this, Ill be in big trouble! I have to hurry back!

Narmi hastily explained.

Please keep it a secret that you met me today, okay? My sister doesnt like me talking to anyone. She hates it when I do so. Please keep quiet about this!

Oh, if thats the case, of course I wont say anything.

Really? Youre more of a nice guy than I thought! Anyways, it was nice speaking with you

A nice guy

Was it possible to put such an adjective before me? In the past, maybe, but not now at least.

Narmi, the younger one of the twin sisters, seemed like a good and kind person to me.

Should I say that she was pure, without any hints of hypocrisies and lies?

Talking with her made me feel at ease, to the point that I ended up unknowingly chatting about this and that.

However, unlike Narmi, I was not a nice and kind person. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe me as a poisonous scorpion.

But, I have conditions.

Co-, conditions?

Miss Narmi must also keep it a secret from everyone that I was here today, what you saw earlier and everything we talked about. Everything.

Ah!

At this time, Narmi blushed, realizing my meaning. Perhaps it reminded her of what Elga and I did.

Asking me to keep a secret Is it about you and Lady Lioness kissing?

Have you seen everything thats happened?

No, I havent seen anything at all! I only saw you two kissing, but I got so surprised that I closed my eyes!

It was a relief that she didnt see me do something more indecent than kissing

Even so, there was still the danger of being dragged to the guillotine if this was discovered.

Narmi then said.

Its love that transcends status. Like Romeo and Juliet. Ive seen it a lot in books, but this is actually the first time Ive seen something like that in real life. Ill be rooting for you!

Youre cheering me on?

Yes, yes!

If it was Mirna, she might have used this to blackmail and have me at her mercy.

Meanwhile, Narmi would not only keep this a secret, she was even supportive of it?

It was crazy how two sisters who shared the same body could be so polar opposite of each other

Anyway, I replied in moderation.

Thank you very much! Its really not easy being with someone beyond your status Lady Lioness is the daughter of a great family, while I am a mere commoner that was once a slave

This was half acting, half sincere.

The golden ratio of half truth and false.

Right now, I was a lover trying to pursue an impossible love, walking down a path full of thorns.

A great family. Hey, Im a Draco, so maybe I can help!

Help?

Yes! Like how do the young misses of great families fall in love? What do they like? I might even be able to tell you what kind of gift they would like to receive from a man!

Oh, by any chance, does Lady Narmi have a lot of experience in dating? But youre such a beautiful person, so it makes sense that you would.

Narmi trembled, as if caught off guard by my question.

That, of course! I have more than ten lovers! I have had plenty of experience!

This was clearly a lie. Anyone who saw it would know immediately

Narmi really had no talent for lying.

There was no way she could be an expert at love when she had to sneak around in the middle of the night unbeknownst to her sister.

Perhaps, this was her sisters experience?

Did she have a lot of dating experience? No, that couldnt be. Her older sister, Mirna Draco, was a devout maniac. That villainess was someone very conservative in matters concerning the opposite sx.

Anyway.

This development was good for me.

Now, all that was left was how to straighten the sails as the wind blew.

Thus, I put on a rather desperate expression.

Then, can you help me? It would really mean a lot if I could ask Narmi-nim, who is knowledgeable about dating, for some help.

Yeah, of course! Ill help you! So How do you want me to help? I was the Love Doctor of Corvant.

The seemingly restless Narmi said with confidence.

Was it due to her anxiousness of being discovered that she actually lacked dating experience?

You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent Calm Thinking.

All job experience +5

This was so easy to guess

Also, how cute.

I said with a serious face, holding back the smile that was about to come out.

Can you see me every Wednesday night or so? I want to regularly ask you about dating. Furthermore, I also want to report the situation every week and get some advice on what to do.

Keeping in touch with Narmi.

To be precise, I was seeking a way to have friendly and continuous relations with the Draco Family. This was my plan.

I thought the best way to control and tame them was to have them close to me first.

However, Narmi began to mumble and rub the floor with her shoes, showing an uneasy look.

Every week? Its hard to do it so often I think Ill be able to sneak from my sisters at least once a week. But if she finds out.

Of course, how could I forget? I can also help Narmi-nim, if necessary!

Heueung. Alright!

After thinking about it for a while, my offer for help managed to move Narmi. Give and take was definitely the best combo!

Well.

Does Narmi-nim want to say something?

No, its nothing If Im going to help you with your relationship, I need to know more about the situation. So.

I patiently waited for Narmi to finish speaking. Finally, after a while

So how far did you two go? You and Lady Lioness, I mean.

Was she asking about the progress of skinship between me and Elga?

While I was thinking whether to answer honestly or lie, Narmi waved her hand at my silence.

Of course, I am not asking this out of curiosity or selfishness! In order to help you, I need to know!

She seemed very interested in hearing other peoples love stories. Maybe I should just lie?

That was actually our first kiss today.

Really!? First time today? Wow, so I witnessed your first!

Yes, but because I was very clumsy, Lady Lioness got angry and left.

So you mean, your kissing was awkward and it dissatisfied Lady Lioness.

It isnt good for a man to not know how to kiss, right? Young noble ladies of great families seem to feel that way.

Right! First of all, we like a romantic, perfect kiss. Being clumsy has its own charm, but. If it were me, it would be among beautiful flowers under the moonlight.

It was then that I realized.

I could get something from this situation

Narmi-nim, could you please teach me the correct way to kiss?
