Marilyn Likes Lariensa Too!

CHAPTER 4

“Come down now. Our parents are waiting.”

I was so worried about what would happen after entering the academy that I forgot our family was waiting below. Lariensa and I held hands and descended in harmony.

My parents, or rather Marilyn's parents, asked Lariensa to take care of me, and her parents also asked me to take care of Lariensa.

Our parents cried so much that someone might think we were exiled.

I felt guilty when I saw Marilyn's parents worrying about me so much.

I'm not the real Marilyn…

“Marilyn, your hair is so pretty. Let me see... Oh, this style is familiar.”

At a time when I was feeling sad, Lariensa's mother, Mrs. Jelinus, speak to me.

“Lariensa tied me.”

"As expected, our daughter is really skilled."

Lariensa blushed at her mother's praise. Jelinus nudged his son Lycan.

“See, Lycan. Marilyn looks like a princess, doesn't she?”

Why ask Lycan when your husband is by your side? I feel awkward with him!

Lycan glanced at me for a moment then turned his head arrogantly.

"... This is good ."

If you are beautiful, then say beautiful. It doesn't cost anything to be honest.

“After you enter the Academy, we will not be able to see you for a year except during the holidays.”

“You're leaving tomorrow, right?”

"I have to see your face a lot today."

Including adults, we drank and toasted. Adults may drink alcohol, but they consider us not to drink alcohol because this celebration is for Lariensa and me.

“For our daughter–”

"Return!"

"Return!"

"Return!"

...I think I'm at a drinking party in Korea.

Although there were no alcoholic beverages, the atmosphere was definitely like a drinking party.

Everyone was worried about us entering the academy, but they seemed proud that we passed the exam and were accepted.

A hint of anxiety and anticipation was seen on Lariensa's face.

To me, I may seem excited on the outside, but in my deepest thoughts, I don't really hope. This was all thanks to the fact that I already had an indirect experience with the original novel…

And I already know everything that Lariensa will go through when we enter the academy.

Lariensa doesn't know anything about it, so I have to watch over this kid closely.

I am now a soldier on the brink of war.

* * *

The same morning as usual. But this is also a special day that cannot be compared to any other day.

Since today is the day, we will leave for the capital.

The village we lived in was in the countryside, away from the capital so we had to travel for three days by train to get there.

“We will miss you guys.”

"Make sure to write us a letter."

We were seen leaving by our parents in the morning. We then managed to end our farewell and boarded the train. Lycan was already there when we entered.

As Lariensa had said earlier, It was a carriage provided by the academy only for their best students. It was wide enough for three people to ride, so I didn't think that the trip would be uncomfortable.

What kind of school spends so much money on one student?

Well, according to his novel, the founder of the academy was the king's nephew, so the cost wasn't too expensive for them.

“Dress for the capital, aren't we Marilyn? It took us three days to get in there? ”

Lycan looked up and down and twisted the corners of his mouth.

...No matter how I look at it, he sneers at me.

"Brother, isn't Marin very pretty?"

Lariensa's naive question just pops up.

"Yes, she's beautiful in her own way."

“……”

"I mean, it depends on the person who sees it."

Oh, what a compliment!

"As expected, the brothers also think that Marin is beautiful."

Yeah, right, that's not it.

I was speechless when I saw Lariensa smile and even thought that her brother really praised me.

Lara, look at her expression. Can't you see she's mocking me ...?

Lara's naivety is beautiful, but at a time like this, I became very depressed... Your brother's innuendo has already broken through the bone, but you still don't realize it!

As I raised my head, I could still see the arrogance on his face.

"Lara, I think my shoulders are a little stiff."

"What's? Turn around so I can massage you.”

With Lycan coming out like that, I will take revenge on him.

"Lycan probably thought I was bothering you when he saw you do it."

Lariensa shook her head as I looked towards Lycan.

"How did that happen? I'm sure big brother doesn't think so.”

But he already thinks like that...

Lycan, who was wary of my intentions, raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Then I will trust your massage skills and hand them to you."

I trust Lariensa with my shoulder. Lariensa's hand felt like a touch from heaven. He then showed off his amazing massaging skills and pressed the muscles in my shoulder.

Someone did say that the more a person does something, the better he does it. Lariensa's massaging skills really improve day by day.

I made a face like a pervert and melted as Lariensa massaged me.

"Marin, does it taste good?"

"Absolutely so..."

As I answered happily, I made eye contact with Lycan on the opposite side. His eyes glared at me full of anger because I made his little sister do things for me. But I'm not afraid of him at all.

“Your massage is thrilling; it is always like a new experience. Your hands are the best.”

Despite the strange praise I gave to Lariensa, she remains proud. I hugged Lariensa like that and looked at Lycan as if to show off. He glared at me, but he couldn't say anything.

As expected, you don't have the confidence to blame me in front of your sister, do you?

Before, it was he who made fun of me, but now, the situation had changed.

* * *

The short three-day journey was never smooth. The beautiful and naive Lariensa may not realize it, but Lycan and I fought relentlessly.

It's like this, for example:

“When I saw you two who were always together, I thought you were like flowers and bees.”

Lycan used to argue like that. It was so clear that he did not need to interpret it. The flower is Lariensa, and the bee is me.

Like bees wandering around flowers, I always clung to the flower-like Lariensa.

Of course, I made sure that I would not suffer alone.

“When I see you, I think of the grasshopper who constantly looks after the flowers.”

“……”

“That means you are reliable.”

Lycan tried to pretend nothing was wrong, even though I could see him trembling.

After all, we fought in front of Lariensa and hated each other in this way.

"Sister and Marin are really on good terms!"

How else, Lariensa is really unwise.

Although she was like this, she was good at studying and also had a beautiful face…

The main character fans are great!

“Marin! Look out, Academy!”

Anyway, after three days, we finally arrived at the capital.

“Lara, let's take a deep breath. I think the air here smells different! ”

It is a world without smartphones, TVs and computers. The village I live in is a rural area of the country, but the capital is much more different from that place.

It looks a lot more lifelike despite not having a smartphone, TV, or computer.

"Can you stop acting so rudely, your province-like inclinations are visible."

Are you not from the same place?

He said that he had been to the capital so many times that he was tired of seeing the same scene.

“Sister, sister! Can't we do a little tour of the capital? We still have time left.”

Lycan may be mean to me, but he is the brother who spoils his sister. If I had said it, he would have teased me for being rude, but when Lariensa asked him to do so, he immediately nodded with a casual look.

“Yes, I'm sure you're hungry, so let's eat near here and sign in.”

Jeez... Who can live with a brother like him?

I gritted my teeth at Lycan, who clearly had a difference in attitude between Lariensa and me. But before long, my sadness was completely gone.

“Lara, look at this. Doesn't that look good?”

“Wait, Marin. Brothers! Marin said she wanted to eat this.”

This way, I seduce Lariensa and get a snack from Lycan.

Lycan had quite a lot of money since he won several swordsmanship contests on the recommendation of the academy. At first, I would drain his wallet in revenge, but when I drank that sweet drink, my heart melted.

As always, free food tastes good.

“What is your stomach made of?”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how did all that food come in?"

While Lariensa went to the bathroom, Lycan did not miss the opportunity to scorn me.

“You must have forgotten that Lariensa also ate with me.”

“Lariensa still growing.”

"Then do you think I'm an adult?"

As I raised my voice while crying, he glanced at me and immediately turned around.

“Do not get angry. I mean it's nice to see you eating well. ”

“...I didn't hear it like that at all?”

If I continue to sit here with this man, I think I will only hurt myself. I stood up with an explosion.

“Hmph.”

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go to the bathroom too."

“That's because you ate too much so your stomach.”.

“It didn't get big!”

“I didn't ask.”

Without Lariensa, I was constantly bullied by Lycan. At first, she was surprised that I spoke back to her, so she couldn't even fight back properly, but today Lycan had become quite cunning.

I stomped my feet hard and headed for the bathroom. It was childish, but it was an act out of a desire to tell him I was grumpy.

But there is one fact I forgot.

"...Where's me?"

I'm a little, no. I'm very bad in terms of directions.

“Why ... I did not find the bathroom?”

Although my village has a simple road structure, I always get lost in the same place every day. Lariensa and Marilyn's parents were very emotional about it, saying that it was a side effect of my head injury, but actually, I was bad in terms of looking for direction.

And now, I was in a capital city that was more crowded than the village.

“Slow down, let's slowly return to where we came from..”

It would be nice to have an item like 'Doors Anywhere!' Doraemons!

Why can't someone like Doraemon help a desperate child like me now?

I'm back on the road I remember, but I still can't see Lycan or Lariensa. Slowly, I became anxious and bit my nails as I looked around in panic.

"Aah!"

But then I hit someone.

My forehead took the heaviest blow, and now my head hurts so much. That bastard! You killed my brain cells!

Well, I'm not sure if I'm looking ahead properly. I then glared at my opponent.

But when I raised my head!

“……”

I became speechless.

Hello it poked my eyes sharply.

"Are you okay?"

The light became brighter as the man opened his mouth.

“Eh, wait a minute..”

It was so bright that I felt like crying. I'll talk to you after I delete it.

After wiping away my tears, I calmly looked up again.

In front of me stood a very handsome and beautiful man.

With mysterious silvery blue hair color, and clear greenish blue eyes like the sea…

“Jeez, I'm fine..”.

What is not good is its appearance and aura that makes a person feel better just by looking at it. The owner of a beauty far more dazzling than Lycan, who was already quite attractive (who I don't want to admit) gave a deadly smile to me.

Ugh, what a heartwarming smile…

But because I kept looking at it, I got used to it, and now I can see straight into the man's face.

Silver blue hair and turquoise eyes...

It's not a common combination. Come to think of it, there are male characters depicted similarly in novels...

Sibel was a boy with a fresh sea-like appearance. The silvery blue hair and turquoise eyes really remind me of the clear sea during the summer days.

"I'm glad you're okay. Then I'll go..”.

Gasp!

I remember now!

Blue silver hair, turquoise eyes!

It was the male lead. Sibel, the male lead in this novel!

In contrast to its refreshing appearance that resembled the sea! He's evil! He has a lot of secrets! He will overthrow my Lara in the name of love in the future! You are useless! You're despicable! Rubbish thing!

“Yes, Sibel..”.

"...What's?"

I immediately stopped talking and cursed inwardly, Sibel then looked at me with a stiff look.

Realizing that I was not seeing Sibel at the moment, I quickly hid my confused feelings and laughed out loud.

"I'm fine, you can continue."

"Do you know me?"

"No."

"I thought you just called my name ..."

I didn't call your name. I just cursed. So go!

[T/N: Sibel sounds like Ssi-bal ( ⁇ ), which is a curse word in Korean.]

"Cannot be. I'm sure you're wrong."

Sibel looked at me from top to bottom with a meaningful gaze.

This silence is very uncomfortable.

“Marilyn Launer!”

Fortunately, I could see Lycan walking towards me from a distance with an angry expression on his face. I was happy to run there, but then, I had no choice but to falter.

I could see Lariensa next to him.

I know that the two are destined to meet one day because they are the male and female lead of the novel, but they should have never met. I decided to protect my friend from the handsome male lead.

“Marin!”

As they approached, Sibel's head was about to turn around and look at them. I desperately took off my coat without thinking for a moment.

Whooshing sound!

Then I threw it in Sibel's face. Taking advantage of his blind spot, I held Lariensa's hand and quickly escaped.

Lycan was stunned and alternated between Sibel, whose face was covered in my coat, and us, who were currently running. He then chose our side and followed us.

“What happened, Marilyn!?”

Even Lariensa, whom I dragged, denounced me for what I had done, but I could not help it.

Sibel, who finally turned around after we ran, stood stiffly with the coat I threw at him.
