I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

205 – Past Edelin (Complete)

A strange thought crossed my mind without me realizing it, but I couldn’t make Ryu Ye-rin wait outside, so I slowly opened the door.

Then, I could see Ryu Ye-rin smiling brightly.

Across the dark hallway, Ryu Ye-rin with gray hair faced Edelin in silence. Edelin quietly asked her questions.

“Yerin, do you have anything to do at this hour?”

“Oh, it’s just… … nothing special.”

Ryu Ye-rin shrugged her shoulders and entered the room with her feet extended.

After scanning the room briefly, he sat down on a suitable chair.

“I was thinking of talking for a bit.”

“A story?”

Edelin tilted her head.

I didn’t immediately understand Ryu Ye-rin’s sudden request to talk.

Not only were they not close enough to have a private conversation in the middle of the night, but Ryu Ye-rin didn’t really like Edelin.

“Saint.”

“yes.”

Ryu Ye-rin raised her head slightly and looked at Edelin with red eyes.

The blood-red eyes had an even more eerie glow today.

“Did you confess to your teacher and get rejected?”

“yes?”

Edelin swallowed the air in her throat at her words that came in without delay. What is this person saying all of a sudden?

“… … How about that?”

“aha.”

Ryu Ye-rin sat with her legs crossed, covered her lips, and giggled. It was a dreamy and regrettable laugh.

“The teacher and the saintess’ reactions were strange. So I tried it once and got caught right away.”

“Yerin.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just have a tendency to stick my tongue out sometimes. I didn’t mean any harm.”

“You don’t have to apologize. I’m just a little surprised, not angry.”

“Is that so? Hmm. But what surprised you so much?”

“that is…….”

Even if she had tried it once, as she said, if she hadn’t been sure, she wouldn’t have said it so quickly. That meant that Ryu Ye-rin was sure.

“You’re saying that you confessed and then rejected me? It’s obvious, it’s obvious. It’s not often that our teacher and the saintess act awkwardly. And the saintess likes you, right?”

“… … .”

“They say silence is positivity, right?”

“… … Yerin.”

Edeline muttered in a low voice.

“How do you know that… … ?”

Ryu Ye-rin blinked her eyes. She blinked a couple of times before smiling secretly.

“Did you really think I didn’t know? Even though you made it seem so obvious?”

“Is that so?”

“Other people must have noticed it too. They’re just pretending not to know.”

“……ah.”

Edelin’s cheeks flushed slightly at the thought that her clan members might know.

I made it clear that I like Seojun.

I tried to hide it, but I hid it anyway.

“Well, the saintess would be so depressed every day that you and Jihyun had s*x, so she couldn’t help but notice.”

“s*x, s*x… … .”

“Ah. I spoke out of turn again. I’m sorry.”

“No. Uh, hmm.”

Ryu Ye-rin slightly twisted the ends of her hair.

“Anyway, there’s no particular reason why I came to see you, Saintess. I just wanted to give you some comfort in your broken heart.”

“It’s okay. Rather, I deserve to be blamed.”

“Why?”

“Well, I am.”

Edeline bit her lower lip.

I hesitated and hesitated again, wondering whether to say it or not.

I glanced at Ryu Ye-rin’s expression. It took a lot of courage to bring up the story of the corruption. Also, this story wasn’t limited to Edelin. It could have been a story that would have offended Ryu Ye-rin.

“I… … like someone who has a lover.”

Ryu Ye-rin will also like Han Seo-jun.

“She’s a shameless woman who not only liked me, but even confessed her love to me.”

“Is that so?”

“Again. Even though I was rejected again, I still can’t let go of my feelings. Isn’t that pathetic?”

“That’s right.”

Ryu Ye-rin laughed.

Because she was in a similar situation to begin with.

That’s why Ryu Ye-rin had no choice but to say this.

“Saint, Saint.”

“Oh, yes.”

Ryu Ye-rin says with a smile.

“Why do you blame yourself so much, Saint?”

“Yes? As I said before, I like men who have lovers… … .”

“Why is that wrong?”

He interrupts and asks again.

“Well, it’s not morally or ethically wrong to like a man who has a lover… … ”

“So why? Why?”

He interrupts again and asks again.

“… … Yerin over there?”

Suddenly I looked at Ryu Ye-rin’s face again.

Ryu Ye-rin was smiling kindly.

“Saint.”

“yes.”

“Don’t you hate Sister Jihyun?”

“yes yes?”

Suddenly, I felt slightly embarrassed when I was asked if I didn’t hate Lee Ji-hyun.

It would certainly be a lie if I said that I didn’t feel even a little resentful towards Ji-hyun, who monopolizes Seo-jun’s love, but even so, I have no intention of expressing those feelings outwardly.

Because liking Han Seo-jun is wrong in itself.

Because I even confessed again.

“I don’t hate it… … .”

“lie.”

He cuts off Edeline’s words with a single stroke.

“Yerin… …Why are you like that?”

“That’s right. Because the saint lied. You don’t like it, Jihyun, do you?”

Behind Ryu Ye-rin, moonlight was shining, but a shadow was cast on her face, making her look a little dark.

“No, I don’t.”

Actually, it’s a little annoying.

“Really? Really?”

“Yes. I don’t hate it.”

A little. Just a little bit. I hate it.

“If that’s the case.”

The ashen-haired woman giggles.

“But you know, I hate Jihyun unnie.”

“… … .”

“You know, Your Majesty. I like that teacher.”

Ryu Ye-rin expressed her honest feelings.

“But I didn’t want to burden you, teacher, so I endured it and endured it, but now it’s just not working out. I don’t want to see that anymore.”

A voice that even conveys a hint of subtle anger.

“How long are we going to have to watch this? Isn’t that right?”

“Us, huh?”

“Yes. Us.”

Points at himself and Edeline with his finger.

“Are you really going to just watch me like this? How can you act so shameless when I confessed to you and you lied?”

“So what do you want to say, Yerin?”

“Why are you acting so ignorant when you already know everything? Let’s be more honest. Your Ladyship, no, Edeline. There are only two of us here. How long are you going to act so polite?”

He knocks hard on the table.

“What do you think will change if you just sit there? Are you just going to stupidly wait around while Teacher and Jihyun suck and bite you?”

“Yerin, you’re going too far.”

Edelin bit her lip as she watched Ryu Yerin becoming more and more open about her emotions.

If I don’t stay still like she said, what can I do?

I’ve already been rejected.

I don’t want to cause trouble to Han Seo-jun and Lee Ji-hyun anymore.

Because it’s so selfish to give in to this feeling without thinking.

“Okay, Edelin. Let me give you an example.”

“what?”

“It’s nothing special. It’s something that can happen in the future.”

Ryu Ye-rin slowly moved her lips.

“Let’s see… … I think Teacher and Jihyun will get along well without any problems. Jihyun has a tendency to be a bit quirky, but Teacher will accept it silently.”

“… … .”

“If we continue dating without any problems, we will conquer the tower and get married.”

“……marriage?

Edeline clenched her fist slightly.

Marriage, marriage.

It feels strange to hear something I had only vaguely thought about from someone else’s mouth.

Han Seo-jun and Lee Ji-hyun getting married?

Marriage?

“What will happen to Edelin after conquering the tower? She might return to the Seongcheon Church, or she might work somewhere else. But one thing is certain: she will leave our clan. It will be hard to watch over you, Teacher and Sister Jihyun.”

“… … .”

“But even if I wanted to forget you, I wouldn’t be able to. When I sleep, your face would flash through my mind. After a day or two, a letter would suddenly arrive. I opened it to see what it was, and oh my goodness. It’s an invitation to you and Jihyun.”

“stop.”

“Edelin would be quite shocked. Old thoughts might be replayed in her head. But she couldn’t express it outwardly. Instead, she went to the wedding hall and congratulated her teacher and Jihyun.”

“Stop it.”

“It’s ironic that you congratulate the person you like for marrying another woman. The teacher will probably think that you don’t like him anymore and will smile brightly and say thank you.”

“Don’t talk anymore. Stop it.”

Ignoring Edelin’s words, Ryu Yerin continues speaking.

“After the wedding, you will go back to your room in shock. You will look at the happy faces of the two of you, reproaching yourself, regretting… .”

“Stop it! I told you to stop it!”

“As time went by, you found a couple on the street. The weather was nice for the first time in a while, so you were enjoying a walk when you saw a couple who looked familiar, walking happily, holding the hands of a child. You were suspicious, so you checked the faces of the couple, and they were… … .”

“Ms. Ryu Ye-rin!”

bang!

Edelin slammed her slammed hand on the table without thinking.

Only then did Ryu Ye-rin stop talking and look at Edelin’s face.

“What on earth are you trying to say! Why do you keep saying this to me… … ! Why do you say this to me… … !”

“……this.”

Ryu Ye-rin smiled blandly and clapped her hands together.

“Don’t be so angry. I was just hinting at what might happen if you just stay still.”

Certainly, if the current relationship between Han Seo-jun and Lee Ji-hyun continues, it could turn out like Ryu Ye-rin said.

“Please be patient, Edelin. I’ll give you a potion as an apology.”

What kind of potion is this out of the blue?

“I prepared something for our saintess because she seemed to be having trouble sleeping due to her uneasy mind. It’s a sleeping potion that will help her sleep soundly. Sleeping potion.”

I’m sure I’d be able to sleep better if I had some sleeping pills.

I felt uneasy today and didn’t think I’d be able to sleep easily.

Anyway, the sleeping potion itself isn’t bad.

But it’s too sudden.

Why these potions at this timing?

“Here it is.”

He quietly placed the sleeping potion on the table.

The round glass bottle was filled with a clear potion.

A transparent potion? This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen a colorless potion.

“It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. You can drink it mixed with water.”

“… … Yes. First of all, thank you for the potion.”

I wondered if I would ever eat it mixed in water, but I expressed my gratitude anyway.

Because you gave it to me thinking of me.

Of course, it was a bit strange to bring up such a strange story earlier, but Ryu Ye-rin must have said it because she was worried about me.

Don’t feel too uncomfortable.

“The effect is certain. It will be able to put even S-rank users to sleep.”

“Ah. I see… … Huh? Yes?”

“Even if you are a teacher, you can still put someone to sleep.”

“Yerin?”

Are you kidding?

He often makes mean jokes, but this time it didn’t sound like a joke.

Edelin swallowed hard and looked at Ryu Yerin, but Ryu Yerin was gently rubbing her lower abdomen with a polite smile on her face.

“Edelin, did you know that the teacher is quite fond of children?”

“No, what.”

“The teacher is a kind person, so he won’t turn away if something happens that requires his responsibility.”

“Yerin… …Are you in your right mind right now?”

“Hmm~? Did I say something weird, Edelin?”

Ryu Ye-rin’s red eyes shine sinisterly.

“Come to your senses, come to your senses… … .”

Kick and burst out laughing.

That laughter contained many emotions.

A slimy, damp, and gloomy desire.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Bring your face a little closer.

“You want me to give up on you like an idiot? I don’t want to?”

“Ms. Ryu Ye-rin.”

“You don’t like it either, right? So let’s join forces.”

He’s getting closer and closer to me.

“It’s a bit difficult for me to do it alone. I have to induce her to let her guard down, and I also have to keep Jihyun unnie in check.”

“I’m sorry, but I have to decline.”

“Do you really want to act that good, Saint?”

Ryu Ye-rin grabbed his shoulder.

I felt a sharp pain in my tightly clenched shoulders.

“Yerin… … I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything about today, so I’ll go back now… … .”

“scared?”

“yes?”

“Are you afraid that once you cross the line, you won’t be able to stop?”

Right in front of your nose.

Red eyes are staring straight ahead.

“It’s hard to cross the line once, but it’s easy twice. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself?”

“What are you talking about, Yerin?”

“You asked me earlier if I was out of my mind? I’ll ask you that too. Edeline, do you think you’re out of your mind?”

Edelin couldn’t readily answer Ryu Yerin’s question.

“You may seem polite on the outside, but you’re not that kind of person. An obsession that comes from a feeling of affection… … You’re the same kind of person as me. If you were a normal person, you would have given up on me long ago or distanced yourself from me… … You make excuses here and there in your mind, but in the end, you stick to me. Do you think you can give up on me?”

“No, I don’t… … .”

“I’ll tell you for sure. You can’t give up on your teacher. You’re too scared of such a subject to hesitate and hesitate again, and in the end, you’ll regret it. You won’t do anything.”

Ryu Ye-rin quickly distanced herself.

And he smiles and speaks as usual.

“So I’ll give you a chance. Let’s be a little more honest, Your Majesty.”

“… … .”

“Well, okay. I can’t get full on the first drink. I’ll be going now. Please think about it at least once, Your Majesty.”

“… … .”

“I’ll leave this potion here. Then I’ll take my leave.”

“I am.”

“huh?”

“What do you plan on doing if I go to Seojun and tell him what happened today?”

Ryu Ye-rin just smiled without saying anything.

“You can tell me.”

“yes?”

“Whether you say it or not, it is up to the saintess. There is nothing I can do about it.”

Ryu Ye-rin says as she slowly opens the door by holding the doorknob.

“But, Saintess, you have no intention of saying anything, do you?”

With the squeaking sound of the hinge, Ryu Ye-rin glanced back.

“Because you’re not that kind of person.”

With those words, Ryu Ye-rin left the room.

Edelin stared blankly at the door where Ryu Yerin had disappeared.

Not that kind of person. What on earth does that mean? I thought it would be better to ignore what happened today, but that was only for Yerin’s sake, and there was no other reason…

“ah.”

Suddenly I saw a potion lying on the table.

A sleeping potion that can even put someone with abilities like Han Seo-jun to sleep.

If you abuse this potion, you will be able to accomplish many things.

but…….

“Don’t think stupid thoughts.”

Edeline shook her head.

It is true that I was surprised by Ryu Ye-rin’s blatant words and actions today, but there is no need to be unnecessarily influenced. So let’s shake off all those useless thoughts.

You shouldn’t bother Seojun.

On a topic that has already helped me several times.

Any further nuisance is no different from a beast.

So Edelin grabbed the potion tightly and threw it into the trash can. Let’s throw this potion away. I don’t want it in front of me.

“… … Now that I think about it, has Yerin ever shown her emotions like this?”

Even though it was the wrong direction, it seemed like this was the first time he had shown his sincerity to this extent. That must mean he was sincere about Seojun.

“……ha.”

Edeline let out a deep sigh.

What should I do going forward?

Would it be better to just forget what happened today?

I feel like Yerin might do something weird. Should I stop her?

Many thoughts swirled through her head, but soon Edeline leaned back on the bed and slowly closed her eyelids.

My head is so complicated.

First, let’s think about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Edelin slowly fell asleep after organizing the events of the day in her head.

Ryu Ye-rin’s proposal for cooperation was difficult and surprising in many ways, but no matter what, I have no intention of making things difficult for Seo-jun.

So let’s not think about Ryu Ye-rin’s proposal any longer.

Because it’s something that should obviously be rejected.

… … So Edelin refused to cooperate with Ryu Yerin, and later regretted what happened that day.

***

“Edelin, Edelin.”

“… … .”

“Go to Edeline’s bed and sleep.”

“……ah.”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar face.

It was Charlotte. Charlotte was shaking Edeline’s shoulder.

Edelin slowly looked around. This was the church’s office. It seemed like he had fallen asleep on the sofa.

“You kept groaning. Did you have a nightmare?”

Edeline smiled weakly.

I had a dream about something that happened a long time ago.

Edelin couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the vague memories of the past.

“It’s hard to cross the line once, but it’s easy twice… … That’s true, Yerin.”

“Edelin? Why are you talking to yourself all of a sudden?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Edeline slowly got up from her seat.

I’ve already crossed the line that was taboo once.

In this episode, a line that has never been crossed in countless episodes has been crossed.

So now, the time has come to decide.

As Yerin said, once you cross the line, it’s so easy to cross it a second or third time.

– Are you afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself?

A word from Ryu Ye-rin that suddenly came to mind.

At those words, Edelin slowly nodded her head.

‘That’s right, Yerin. I don’t think I can control it anymore.’

This is the last time.

Edelin made a final resolution in her heart.
