I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

12 – 12. Geum Taeyang Who Likes Cute Things

The description of Lucia’s preference for cute things seems to have been casually mentioned in the novel.

Collecting dainty and cute items, liking small animals, and always hugging a small doll when sleeping.

It was a description that didn’t seem to match Geum Taeyang, the epitome of delinquency.

“Is this for real?”

In fact, I chuckled while reading it.

I wondered how someone as notorious as Geum Taeyang could be like that.

But now, right in front of me, Lucia was showing it off as if denying it with her whole body.

“Don’t… Don’t look!”

Lucia suddenly realized that she was wearing rabbit pajamas that covered her entire body, hastily covering her face.

As she lowered her head, the rabbit ears that had been dangling behind her head also flopped forward.

“..They look so fluffy.”

Honestly, she didn’t know much else, but they looked incredibly fluffy.

The entire pajama was covered in soft, fuzzy fur, and the rabbit ears were quite plump with stuffing.

“Ugh!”

I finally grabbed the two rabbit ears attached to the pajamas.

Ignoring Lucia’s scream, I entered the dormitory and said, “Let’s talk inside, it’s not something to discuss outside, even if it’s about money.”

Even if it was a matter involving money, it wasn’t something to discuss casually outside.

“Just a moment! You can’t go in there! Please wait a little!”

Lucia continued to whine as I held onto the rabbit ears of her pajamas, but it was a bit embarrassing to stand in the dormitory hallway like this with a woman wearing rabbit pajamas.

There were quite a few people who peeked their heads out and looked in our direction when they heard the noise.

-Thump!

As we entered and closed the door, I saw Lucia blocking the eNT*Rance, preventing me from entering.

“Umm… Lucia, what’s going on…?”

And then, a girl who seemed to have just woken up walked out.

She looked back and forth between me and Lucia as if trying to understand the situation, then raised her head, and said, “Who’s this? Your boyfriend?”

The reason I came here was not only to raid the author Yeong-ae’s piggy bank but also because of this girl.

“No, he’s just a friend!”

Suspiciously, he was a guy who was very close to Geum Taeyang and was also my roommate.

For the upcoming attack during the eNT*Rance ceremony, the so-called “Short Dream for Eternity.”

He was an informant for the main villains of this episode, the Monmas.

“Nice to meet you, Fate.”

A half-human, half-monma who could also act during the day, Fate.

Of course, she didn’t have horns or a tail like typical Monmas, but that was her unique characteristic.

I greeted her with the friendliest and most harmless smile I could muster.

“Do you know me?”

The guy spoke with a hint of doubt in his eyes when he realized I knew his name.

There was a strong sense of instinctive caution in the atmosphere.

“Lucia told me about you, said you were a good friend.”

Naturally, I came prepared with an excuse, and it wasn’t necessarily a lie.

We had talked about all sorts of things at the cafe, including stories about Fate.

Of course, the essence of it is not as good as Lucia made it sound.

“Well, in any case, it seems like I’m getting in the way. Enjoy your private time!”

As he said that, Fate tried to pass by me and Lucia, but then turned back and said,

“Oh, if you’re planning on using the bed, use Lucia’s bed.”

Of course, I can’t just let Fate go like this.

As I mentioned earlier, I came here because of this woman.

It’s not just to see her face, there’s important information I need to share.

“There’s a rumor that the Saint will be coming to the eNT*Rance ceremony. Would you like to come watch together next time?”

Upon hearing that, Fate’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he soon smiled and said,

“What? Leaving your girlfriend behind and asking another girl out on a date?”

“I heard that you are a devout religious person, and that you have a lot of interest in the Saint.”

If someone heard that Montma was a religious person, they would burst out laughing, but

If you think about it differently, there must be a reason why they are called that by others.

As Montma, I just pretend to “serve” them in order to extract even the smallest piece of information.

“Do you happen to know what this is?”

From now on, I slowly shook her information network.

When I took out and shook the Rosaire I stole from the prince last time, Fate’s expression showed a slight hesitation.

“Of course, there’s no other way.”

The Rosaire is practically an identification card given to paladins.

And the original owner of this item, the prince, is a paladin of a high level among paladins.

Naturally, with this position, he would be able to know about the Saint’s attendance at the eNT*Rance ceremony.

Therefore, this item greatly adds credibility to my mention of the Saint.

“What… is this? You’re quite a high-ranking person, huh?”

So I told him that it has to be returned to the Crown Prince.

If we keep this for too long and the Crown Prince finds out, it will be a real disaster.

“But, is it okay to use such a position to seduce women?”

However, there is nothing better than conveying false information to Fate.

With the testimony of a person presumed to be a high-ranking Holy Knight, and even Rosario that proves his identity.

“Of course, there is a possibility that Fate and other Mongmas may feel uncomfortable with the idea of the Saint attending the eNT*Rance ceremony.”

There wasn’t enough time to create any other confirmation, and above all, it is a fact that the Saint is coming to the eNT*Rance ceremony.

Whether the information that the Saint is coming is fake or real, the fact that they have to pay attention to it is a great burden for them.

“The Saint naturally has a strong resistance to magic attributes.”

That’s why the Mongmas planned this eNT*Rance ceremony terrorist attack under the assumption that the Saint would not come.

On the other hand, the Saint, Eden Holloway, came here to secretly catch the Mongmas hiding at the academy.

“But if both Nihil and the Crown Prince are in a bad condition, the Saint will also be targeted by the Mongmas.”

That’s why they spread the perception that the Saint is secretly among the Mongmas and try to lower the intensity of the attack.

Since this attack is just a “stepping stone” for them, they don’t need to go all out and reveal themselves.

They all know that if the incident gets bigger, it won’t end at the level of the Saint, and the kingdom will provide support.

Therefore, although they have to proceed with the operation they must carry out, it is better for them to significantly reduce its power.

“In fact, they used too much force at the eNT*Rance ceremony and ended up being pursued by the Saint and the kingdom.”

So, first, we have to find a way to reduce the intensity of the incident at the eNT*Rance ceremony.

Naturally, Fate, who was focused on my words, nodded as if she heard something good and then hurriedly ran outside.

“For now, I’ll consider going together. Have a good time!”

That’s how she should leave. I told her this so that if she makes a mistake, the species could be exterminated by the Saint.

As I watched Fate leave, Lucía’s murmuring voice came from behind.

“I believe in religion too..”

Continuing to grumble like that, it seems uncomfortable.

“While I kept pushing her away, she asked me out on a date, someone I just met today.”

Ah, so that’s the problem.

I took a lemon candy out of her bag, put it in my mouth, and pointed to the beds on both sides.

“Where is Lucía’s bed?”

In response, Lucía pushed out her lips and pointed to the right bed.

As I carefully sat on that bed, I noticed a cute teddy bear placed in the corner.

It appeared quite old, but the patched holes and the small ribbon carefully tied on its head showed deep affection.

“Ah! Oh no!”

However, the opinions about the doll could not continue.

Soon, the teddy bear in my hands was taken away by Lucia, who noticed that I was fidgeting with it.

“Hmm… There are so many things here…”

But aside from that, there were quite a few cute things.

Various dolls, animal figurines, snow globes, and more, placed not only taken away from me.

“Oh no… What should I do…”

However, she seemed embarrassed that her taste in these things was revealed to others.

Anyway, didn’t Fate also see this? It’s not something I’m particularly concerned about.

Moreover, considering the evil hobbies of the male protagonists who like Heidi, this is just…

“There’s no need to worry.”

Yeah, compared to them, this is just a small matter.

“It’s cute and adorable, I like it.”

Upon hearing that, Lucia slightly opened her closed eyes and looked at me.

“..Are you saying that I’m cute?”

What nonsense is this?

“It’s not Lucia, it’s the interior. The interior.”

Do you think I find that golden sun cute? That’s a ridiculous thing to say.

I got momentarily angry, but since I am the one asking for a favor, I have to hold it back.

Anyway, Lucia asked me, in a bewildered manner, if there was anything that bothers me.

“Um… If you’re talking about something like that…”

It’s nothing major, but the round tail attached to the end of Lucia’s rabbit pajamas has been swinging and jiggling with every movement.

It has been bothering me since earlier, and it would be more comfortable for both of us if she wore normal clothes instead.

I looked at Lucia, who was becoming tense at the mention of something bothering me, and said.

“If you could just take off that outfit?”

“What… what?”

Then, Lucia hurriedly covered her chest with her hand.

No, what’s the matter? Why react like this? Your response makes it seem like I committed some kind of s*xual harassment.

As I silently watched Lucia, who was blushing and making a fuss, I could hear a hint of disdain in her voice.

“Wh-what do you mean, asking a grown woman to undress! You trash!”

“What is this crazy Kim Taeyang woman saying?”

I have to admit, no matter how I think about it, this woman is undoubtedly a pure troublemaker.
