I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

167 – Altair(4)

The sky was bright and clear, befitting the day the Seongshin Festival was held. As it has been since ancient times, it was impossible for it to rain at the Seongshin Festival. As if to represent the authority of Altair, the god of the sun and sky, this day always maintained clear weather no matter what year it was.

It has been a long time since the sun rose in the sky, but it seems that it has no intention of moving there, so it must be the power of the gods.

In such a clear blue sky, Noel saw black dark clouds forming far and high, invisible to the naked eye. It was just a small dark cloud, but an anomaly was an anomaly.

There was no need to think about why such clouds formed at the Seongshin Festival, which always maintained a sunny day, so Noel erased the dark clouds by waving his hand. It was obvious that he would only amplify the anxiety of people who were seen in the eyes of others.

The duel with Damian will begin soon, but Altair doesn’t show any signs of coming out.

I didn’t know if I was looking for an answer on my own or if I was completely distorted, but Noel couldn’t help but feel sorry for Altair’s troubles.

The only time I can talk to him comfortably is today, but if I miss the time like this, Altair will have to wait a long time again, so I hoped that she would be able to get an answer a little earlier.

Except for this and that, Noel’s current condition was not bad.

It’s true that she was put in a bit of a complicated situation, but it didn’t make her feel bad. As the memories of her past flowed in, she felt various emotions cross, but aside from that, the duel that was about to happen was one of the things Noel was looking forward to so much.

It is a Holy Spirit Festival where many talented people gather, but only a few of them can become the main characters. And surely, the name of Damien Krauss will be written on that list.

Many would pick Reinhardt if they were looking for someone my age who excelled in swordsmanship, but if they were looking for someone who was the strongest, everyone would pick Damian without question. He knew how to handle any weapon, and the best he could handle was his own body.

It is the opinion of many that being broad and versatile is inferior to polishing one thing to the extreme, but he was the one who shattered that opinion. This can be seen just by looking at how much Reinhardt, who is said to handle the sword the most, is looking forward to meeting him at the Holy Ghost Festival, just like Noel.

Perhaps the current interest of the Faculty of Engineering students is whether Damian will win or Reinhardt will win in today’s duel.

A duel with Damian was what Noel had longed for.

Altair’s quietness was, in a way, close to her good fortune. At least he could stand in front of Damian as the perfect Noel Estelia.

Her simple fighting spirit is probably one of the reasons she wants this duel, but she also wants to be acknowledged by him for letting her know that she is losing for the first time. It is recognition as a competitor who stands on an equal starting line, not the mind of a student who wants to be praised by the teacher for doing well as his skills improve.

Now there are other reasons mixed in, but Noel decided not to think about them.

The entrance declaration started and Noel headed to the venue. In the previous match, I didn’t pay attention to the gazes and shouts looking down at me, but I was nervous, so I was nervous.

He put his hand on his beating heart to calm it down and turned his head toward Damian, who was walking toward him. His face, which looked more spleen than usual, didn’t look like the Damian he knew, but he looked somehow familiar.

Judging by the look on his face, it seems like he really intends to win even if Altair were to be his opponent, just as he said.

If Altair really comes forward, will there be a chance that he will win, even if he is Damian? In fact, the question of probability would not matter to him. If he made up his mind to do it, he had the mindset that he would achieve it somehow, so from the moment he made that decision, no matter what the outcome of the duel was, the outcome of his relationship with Altair was fixed.

Damian stopped her steps for a moment, looked at Noel’s face, then loosened her stiff face and spoke to her with a bright smile.

“Noel!”

The appearance he had earlier disappeared all over the place, and he returned to the Damian that Noel knew. It was a sudden enough change for Noel, who was nervous even without it, and Noel faced Damian with a surprised face. Noel questioned Damien, who changed his mood after seeing his face.

“Damian?! You’re surprised that he suddenly shouted like that! But are you okay right now? Until just now, your face was so spleen, but now why is it so soft like pudding?”

“No, I came up very nervous, but seeing Noel just like this puts my mind at ease…I definitely knew Altair would be there from the beginning. Oh, but that doesn’t mean I ignored Noel! Don’t misunderstand. Don’t listen, okay?”

“I know. That would have made me nervous too.”

Noel replied with a smile to Damian who was talking with a smile.

When he first saw Damian approaching him, he thought he wouldn’t have feelings of fear or nervousness, but he didn’t. Even so, the man who pressed down those feelings and came here without hesitation seemed amazing.

Looking at Damian’s smiling face, Noel seemed relaxed as well.

The fact that she recognized at one glance that he was her Noel gave her extraordinary pleasure. He may have good eyesight, but he also meant that he knew himself well. Noel laughed at the bitterness in her heart as she felt a strange sense of superiority over herself, and soothed her in her heart.

‘If you’re going to be that jealous, come out and talk.’

‘….’

‘Eight, coward.’

‘@#$%@#%@^%!!!’

Altair said something, but Noel didn’t listen. If you feel so unfair, you can come out right away, but what if you keep hiding? It seems that it hurt to hear such words today after the proposal was rejected at the first meeting, but even when Noel saw it, Damian’s behavior was understandable.

He doesn’t even have memories of the past like himself, so if he’s suddenly forced to do that, he’s bound to misunderstand. I know he was in a hurry to keep Elena in check.

“So, is my opponent now Noel? Isn’t Altair suddenly popping out in the middle?”

“I wish I did…Well, I can’t guarantee that. This guy is a total fickle guy, so he’s completely selfish.”

‘@#%$^$^@$^#!!!!!’

Uh hush!

Altair reacts even more violently when he speaks badly in front of Damian. It’s fun, so I don’t even know if I’m kidding.

Leaving behind Altair, who kept muttering inside her, Noel asked Damien what he thought of her. Normally, it would be right to wait until she can ask her own questions, but since time is really short, simple questions like these would be fine.

Not many, just one question, enough to relieve Altair’s hesitation. Noel knew what it was and knew what Damian would say.

“Damian. Altair has something he wants to tell you. Can I tell him?”

‘!!!!!!’

At Noel’s words, which she had never heard of before, Altair shouted in silence. She’s Noel, and she shares what Altair is thinking, so of course she should know what she wants to say to Damian, but letting Noel say it wasn’t what she wanted.

‘Don’t worry, wait a minute.’

Noel looked at Damian as he calmed the screaming Altair inside him. Looking at her with a mischievous smile, she seemed to already know what answer Damian would give.

Damian, who blinked her eyes at Noel’s words, answered her like this after a while.

“Really? Hmm…I’m curious, but later. I’ll hear it from Altair myself. Even Noel doesn’t seem to listen like this. I also have a story I want to share with her. I also have something to say about what I said today. .. It seemed like I was talking a little one-sidedly and running away.”

“Yes, I understand. I will tell Altair that way.”

“Yeah. Well…Actually, I think you’ve already heard it.”

At Damian’s words, Noel laughed. Because she was right.

Noel saw that her emotions, which had been intense just moments before, had now subsided, and she knew that his answer was the answer, as she had expected. After hearing Damian’s words, Altair immediately tried to jump out, but Noel stopped him and kept his initiative. She said she still had work to do. When she confirmed that the problem was resolved, Noel said to him, pulling out the sword strapped to her waist.

“Then shall we begin?”
