“What?”

I had no idea what Eugene was talking about.

‘Sad? What does he mean all of a sudden?’

I tried to figure out the situation by spinning my brain fast.

“Apart from the fact that you suddenly disappeared from the Academy because of the regulations, I thought you would say something after it was over.”

Eugene squinted his blue eyes and said, looking down at me.

‘Regulations? Suddenly disappearing from the Academy?’

Only then did I notice that he was talking about the appointment as a Housekeeper.

“But you’re not even coming to me, so I can’t talk about it.”

“Hey, what do you want to talk about?”

Did he want to know what the meeting actually felt like?

But he seemed to know better than I do.

Even though he wasn’t in the Housekeeper conference yet, he would have heard from his father about it.

‘That’s weird. He hasn’t really picked a fight with me lately.’

When I looked at him with all kinds of thoughts, Eugene gave me a rather strange look.

“No, isn’t it natural if I want to congratulate you?”

The moment I heard Eugene’s words, I felt as if I had been beaten in the back of my head.

“Ah.”

“No, apart from that, what else can I say?”

“Yes…”

“You didn’t think I’d be here again to pick a fight, right?”

When he asked me that, I lifted my index finger and thumb, almost to touch each other.

“A little bit.”

“This girl, really.”

Eugene was grumpy with an irritating accent, but his expression didn’t look as angry as I thought.

“Congratulations, anyway.”

For some reason, it was a calm and resonant remark.

I looked at Eugene, who turned his head slightly to the side and turned his gaze outside the door.

As he rolled his deep blue eyes, Eugene noticed that I was looking at him without a word. He opened his eyes wide as if surprised for a moment, then turned his head to make eye contact with me.

“What, what’s wrong?”

Only then could I come to my senses.

“Oh, no, thanks.”

“There’s nothing to be thanked anyway.”

Eugene mumbled in a low voice with his arms folded.

And for a while, the silence sank.

In the meantime, both I and Eugene seem to have been staring down at the ground, unable to think of what to say.

“How does it feel to be a Housekeeper?”

Eugene first broke the silence and asked.

‘As expected, you wanted to ask that.’

I didn’t know what to say.

I didn’t know how to convey my feelings to Eugene, who is already sensitive to being a Housekeeper because of his family affairs.

After all, I decided to be honest.

“Well, the pressure was tremendous.”

“I guess so.”

“But I feel better because there are good people.”

At the words, Eugene opened his mouth as if to say something, but for some reason, he shook his head and shut his mouth.

“What, you got something to say?”

“No, it’s no big deal.”

“Why, you can say it.”

“No.”

“It’s all right.”

In the end, Eugene showed signs of agonizing, stroking his chin with his index finger, then sighed and opened his mouth.

“You saw my father, didn’t, haven’t you?”

I replied with a nod to the remark.

“Yes. I saw him.”

I didn’t bother to say that his father had done a cheap thing to me by moving the meeting place 30 minutes before the appointment time.

“…did he look all right?”

Eugene hesitated slightly, and said,

To Eugene’s question, I asked him again, slightly narrowing the gap.

“In what sense?”

“Health. Maybe did he look too tired, things like that.”

“Oh, he looked totally fine, just like he looked at us at the banquet.”

In the first place, there was no way that a person without energy could give off the spirit of tearing and killing a wild wolf with just his eyes.

But there’s no way I can say such a scary sermon.

“Oh, I see. That’s a relief.”

Eugene scratched his head awkwardly and talked.

Then he hesitated slightly, poking his head out to the side and talking to me carefully.

“By any chance, what did my father say to you?”

When asked by Eugene, his father’s figure looked at me with cold eyes like an awl that froze me and pressed me in a cool voice, appearing before my eyes.

“…uh, he said a lot.”

He replied, kicking his tongue with a voice containing his complaints. Then Eugene came to me with a very sorry expression.

“I’m sorry. Well, he didn’t mean to hurt you, he’s just–”

“Eugene, thanks for the consolation, but I’ve already been picked up by your father.”

“Uh…”

I sighed at Eugene, who rolled his eyes helplessly.

“Really, it felt like it was only cute to hear what you said.”

“It sounds like you’re turning me around.”

Eugene, who was secretly protesting, slowly opened his mouth, tapping his fingers and thinking about what to say for a moment.

“Well, he’s a little…… he can treat you harshly, but don’t put too much meaning on it. Because he does that to most people.”

Honestly, I thought it was right.

When I saw his tight lips and his chilling blue eyes, I wondered if there was any object or person in the world he liked.

“And anyway, my father is a wizard and a very good Trump. He’s very judgmental.”

“I agree with that.”

I could never have had a good impression of him, but I couldn’t help admiring his leadership after the opening of the Housekeepers meeting.

As a newcomer there, I never seemed to be able to keep up with his deep insight.

That day I realized how much influence a person with innate sense, acquired effort, and age can have on others.

He was even very rational at the Housekeepers meeting, and he didn’t ignore my opinion if it was a profitable matter.

That was why I couldn’t say I had nothing to learn from him even though I had a bad impression in our first meeting.

“I’m going to be Trump-like my father. I want to be a strong and capable Trump like him.”

Listening to Eugene’s story, I looked up at him with a frown.

“Are you serious?”

“Why, you got a problem?”

I grinned at him who was so inquisitive.

“Hey, that’s not it. I’m not going to be Trump-like your father.”

“What?”

Eugene frowned back at my words.

“Spade, I know you have a bad impression about him, but you have to admit my father’s ability as a Trump.”

“That’s right, your father is a great Trump. I know it better than anyone since I saw in person. And I think there will be a lot to learn from your father in the future.”

As I said so, I took my back off the wall and walked out in front of Eugene.

“But shouldn’t we have a big dream?”

Eugene tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what I was talking about. I answered with a confident look on my face.

“I’ll be Trump beyond your father.”

Eugene, staring at me through, opened his eyes wide and looked at me blankly with his mouth open.

Then he smiled and covered his mouth with his hands.

“Ha, you’re so…….”

But he did not utter the words that remained behind.

“I am really what?”

“No.”

“What, let me know.”

“No, I won’t tell you.”

Eugene’s answer was like an iron wall, and I complained with my lips pout.

“Dirty bastard.”

“I’m better than you.”

“Who is going to admit that.”

“Okay, are you going back to the territory for vacation?”

I answered his question with a nod of my head.

Eugene also slightly raised his head.

“Don’t you go to the territory, too?”

“I have to go. I’ve never stopped by while I was in the Academy.”

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“Yeah.”

Eugene answered and took his back off the wall he was leaning against and turned toward the door where we could see the campus building.

“Are you leaving tomorrow, too?”

“Yeah.”

“It’ll take some time to get there.”

“Well, the distance is similar to your territory.”

“Get some rest when you get there. You must have had a hard time putting up with the appointment.”

I twisted my purple hair with my fingers, glanced at Eugene and said.

“I’m gonna take a break. Go home and get some rest. Don’t train early in the morning until you get home.”

“You told me not to, so I should.”

“If you’re going to do it, do it with care. Because it’s your own body that will suffer.”

“Yes, you speak so beautifully.”

After a long time of dabbling, some time had passed.

“Oh, I think I’m going to have to get going.”

The eyes, as if they had blue sapphire in them, suddenly grew, and then returned to their original state.

“Yes.”

“I’m going to get going.”

After greeting Eugene, I tried to step out of the door, but suddenly I heard Eugene’s voice slightly crack behind my back.

“Spade, wait a minute.”

Turning my head back, Eugene was reaching out one hand as if he were trying to hold on to me out.

“Why?”

“No, just, I thought of something to ask.”

“What is it?”

For some reason, he rolled his eyes around and bit his lips slightly, and hesitated, killing his lips with his tongue.

The words that finally rang through his lips, were really unlike him.

“Do you believe in superstitions?”

I frowned and asked back at the nonsense words that suddenly popped out.

“Superstition?”

“Yes, superstition.”

“What kind of superstition are you talking about?”

Eugene, who was agonizing over what I said, answered dryly.

“Just, anything.”

When I delayed answering because I still didn’t know his intentions, Eugene added an explanation.

“Well, you know. When you can make your wish come true if you do something specific.”

“Oh, there’s a lot of that.”

Still, I couldn’t tell why he asked such a thing, but I replied with a light smile.

“I think what I do is more important than that.”

I spoke to him, looking at him in his eyes.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to believe in superstitions. I mean that’s what I think.”

“……uh, I know what you mean.”

Eugene said with a nod.

“Yes, I see.”

“Did I answer your curiosity?”

“Uh.”

I didn’t know if my answer would have been what he wanted, but Eugene seemed satisfied on the boat for now.

“Yes, you can go now.”

“Yes, then I’m really going.”

“Uh.”

Eugene waved back.

“Have a nice trip, Spade.”

At that time, his blue eyes were drawing fine curves like the crescent moon.

It was a beautiful, calm smile with eyes.

“Yeah, see you later.”

Was it my illusion that his face at the last minute looked lighter?
