I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

58 – Dagran and Reina (2)

“…You don’t know about the stubbornness of the dwarves, but you don’t know too much. Let it go. Because someday I will make you laugh.”

Saying that, Dagran got out of Reina’s dorm.

And I pondered why I fell in love with her.

It was sympathy.

The obsession to make her laugh and the sympathy he felt for her turned into love.

But this love could not come true.

Imperial women have been famous for their high noses since ancient times, and they did not treat dwarves as men.

Beauty and the Beast is just a fairy tale, never a reality.

Moreover, doesn’t his own beauty even feel emotions?

‘done. I just need to make her laugh.’

However, I did not have the heart to give up because I did not receive love.

Rather, Dagran was desperately immersed in making equipment, adding poison to the coming.

how much time had passed

It was when Raina had been staying at his mansion for 7 months.

Eventually, Dagran came up with a special potion and device.

It was a device that could detoxify the smoke generated when mana combined with emotion was combined with a drug that could combine emotion and mana.

“Raina! Come sit down! I want to test it—!”

It was when Dagran, who was so excited, entered Reina’s dorm.

Reina, who was doing rehabilitation training in her underwear, glanced at Dagran.

Dagran was startled and hurried to leave the room, but soon stopped.

Then, he approached Reina, who was looking at him with an expressionless face, and said.

“I have something to try. Please sit in a chair for a moment.”

Reina nodded and picked up the clothes that had fallen to the floor.

Then, Dagran held Reina’s hand and said.

“Let’s just test it like this. You don’t know the shame anyway, isn’t it okay?”

“…”

Reina nodded.

After sitting on the chair, I waited for Dagran’s instructions.

Eventually, Dagran told Reina to drink the drug and then ask her to move Mana.

Reina followed the instructions exactly.

-Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiyiyi

Then, a purple haze began to rise.

Dagran jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“Hey! That, you have feelings too! You had feelings too!”

“…?”

Reina tilted her head with an expressionless face.

Dagran hurriedly activated the emotion decoder and absorbed the purple haze.

Then, he showed the results to Reina and said.

“See here? Shame, shame, little anger, insult, skepticism.”

“…?”

“Raina, the feelings you feel! It’s just that you don’t have a way to express your feelings, it’s proof that you feel them too!”

Reina’s expression changed.

With her mouth slightly open, she looked at the purple haze floating around her with a face full of curiosity.

then she said

“But, I don’t feel anything.”

“…it’s just that I can’t express it. Emotions do arise, but they just don’t get communicated.”

Dagran said so and took Reina’s hand.

The color of the haze spreading around Reina’s body began to darken.

“I will definitely find the cause. First of all, you seem to be shy, so let’s get dressed. Great.”

Reina put on her clothes with an expressionless face.

After that, the two talked for a long time.

It was to see if emotions change through talking.

“Raina. In the past… you were going to say that. If you give me a reasonable reward, I’ll give you my body. Are you serious?”

Rayna was silent.

However, a black haze began to rise around her body.

It was a feeling of self-denial.

It’s not sincere.

Dagran let out a sigh of relief.

“Good thing. Because I’m not serious.”

“…”

“I think maybe you just didn’t want to get hurt. It is intentionally trying to push others away.”

Reina lowered her head.

It was a face contemplating something.

After thinking about it, she raised her head and said.

“Even so, what use is it? Still I can’t feel anything.”

Reina paused for a moment after saying that.

Then he said, looking at the black haze rising around his body.

“And… if I felt it, it would be a very faint emotion. Useless by-products that scatter away like this black smoke here…”

Saying that, Rayna looked at Dagran.

Dagran also saw Reina.

In his eyes, he could see Reina’s black haze turning yellow.

Then Dagran spoke.

“…if you don’t feel the true nature of your emotions, I’ll make you feel them. I will make you feel how strong your feelings are, in a way that you, the knight, can feel. Until then, please stay here.”

There is only a week left until the end of rehabilitation treatment.

In fact, Reina was in a state where she could leave whenever she wanted to.

But her haze was gradually changing to a strong yellow light.

Then she replied with an expressionless face.

“Yes. We will wait a little longer.”

***

3 months later.

Finally, Dagran completed the early version of ‘Holy Sword’.

It has succeeded in converting emotions into ‘energy’.

He gasped and ran to Reina’s dorm.

And after giving her the initial Holy Sword he had completed, he tested it by converting his emotions into energy.

-Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

As a result, the holy sword began to absorb the deep yellow haze radiating from Reina’s body.

And that power began to be converted into blue magic.

It succeeded in converting the by-products combined with emotion and mana into energy.

“Bah, let’s go outside! You wield your emotions!”

Dagran took Reina’s hand.

Holding her hand, he strode out into the snow-filled yard.

Strangely, Reina’s heart was beating fast.

“ruler! Come on and swing it! Feel how strong your feelings are!”

“…”

Rayna took a stance.

I closed my eyes and felt the Holy Sword absorb my mana.

– Huung!

Eventually, she threw out a sword.

The black energy imbued with blue magic rushed towards the large rock.

Koo Goo Goo!!!

The earth trembled.

Crack, crack, the rock split.

The place where the black flag passed was a field of snow split on both sides like the Red Sea.

It was an overwhelming destructive force that could not be compared with the previous one.

“…”

Reina captured all the scenery in her eyes.

These are the feelings you have.

That feeling is so intense.

It had been trapped for 27 years without ever erupting.

“Raina.”

At that time, Dagran stood next to Reina.

Reina looked at Dagran.

A yellow haze ran over her body.

Then Dagran spoke.

“Now it begins. Someday, I will make you feel real emotions, not sword skills like this.”

Dagran promises to find out his feelings with his twinkling eyes.

At this time, Reina felt a strange sensation of throbbing in her chest.

The more I was with him, the more my body seemed to change.

Could a country like this be changed if he were there?

That day, Dagran and Reina had a long conversation.

To celebrate the day’s work, we had a drink and talked about this and that.

That day, Dagran learned why Reina was so obsessed with money.

Fallen nobility.

It was because the family went bankrupt and sat in a huge pile of debt.

So, Reina’s parents tried to marry her off to a wealthy aristocratic family or merchant.

He tried to raise the family by borrowing the power of his in-laws.

However, there was no man who wanted her like a stone Buddha with no change in expression.

Several times, enticed by her beauty, he tried to continue a serious meeting, but in the end, he gave up after a month.

From then on, Raina started earning money by doing whatever she could.

Fortunately, since he was young, he was talented in swordsmanship and was able to earn money with swords.

That’s how he came to the expedition of the Dwarven United Kingdom, which paid a lot of money.

“…you have done your duty.”

Hearing all of Reina’s story, Dagran smiled sadly.

Then, he put his hand on Reina’s hand on the table and said.

“I will keep my promise. I will definitely make you laugh certainly.”

“…”

Reina looked at Dagran with an expressionless face.

It was an expression without the slightest movement.

– Pound. pounding. pounding.

Contrary to his expression, however, his heart was pounding.

The yellow haze was turning into a golden haze.

He fell in love with Dagran.

***

Another 2 months passed.

In the meantime, Dagran and Reina have tried several attempts to find emotions.

In the process, the two of them spent more time together.

Reina was no longer passive, but active.

I studied to find my emotions, consulted with Dagran, and made efforts in various ways.

“I think I will have to go find a vein today. My father’s disobedience fell.”

However, Dagran’s father did not like Dagran.

It was because he thought he had forgotten his duty as a dwarf and locked himself in his room all day, crazy about a human woman.

Until then, no one knew the existence of the ‘Holy Sword’, so Dagran’s father was dissatisfied with Dagran.

“Then I will go too.”

Anyway, for this reason, Dagran and Reina joined the lode finder.

Reina’s colleague, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, mocked her as a ‘dwarf woman’.

But Dagran did not step forward.

It was because Reina held his hand and shook her head.

“Me, me, me, there!”

It was then.

A huge shadow suddenly casts over the heads of the party.

It was ‘Vayater’.

In the language of the Dwarves, it meant an ancient rumor.

The long-dormant disaster of the snowy mountains has been revealed.

“aaa!!!”

It was an instant for the disaster to happen.

When Bayater jumped to the ground and wielded a claw, the wielding human and dwarf were torn apart.

Even the knights who were attached as escorts died without ever using their strength.

“Sir baaa!!! Everyone retreat!”

“What about the dwarves!”

“Do we know? Does it all look backwards? Bounce!”

The surviving knights began to flee.

Bayater was a monster they couldn’t help themselves with.

In the first place, Bayater is an ancient demon that appears only in dwarven legends.

There was no way that knights who were mere intermediate level sword experts could not handle such a beast.

“…”

However, Reina was worried.

Originally, he should have run away sooner.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat that monster rationally.

I had to abandon all the dwarves and run away.

“…ah, ah… uh…”

But the feet did not fall.

It was because Dagran jumped in to save his comrades.

“aaah!!”

“Aagh!!!”

It was stupid.

Even if Dagran went, there was nothing he could do.

A useless feeling that only hastens one’s life.

Why are humans swayed by emotions?

“… uh, uh… uh…!?”

But then.

Bayater’s gaze turned to Dagran.

He growled lowly, baring his ferocious teeth.

And—

– Whoa!

He lifted his forepaw high and swung at Dagran.

Blood gushed into the air, and Dagran fell to the ground.

A golden haze erupted explosively from Reina’s body.

“Oh, no, no, no!”

My body moved by itself.

Calling out Dagran’s name as if screaming, he rushed towards Bayater.

Bayater’s gaze turned to Reina.

– Whoa!

Raina’s emotions exploded for the first time in her life.

The energy of that feeling was great.

Bayarter jumped at her and kicked her, but her sword energy hit him first.

The outer shell of the bayater, which could not be pierced by any steel, was torn, and the internal organs protruded along with the blood pouring out.

“I’m dying!!!”

Reina roared and swung her golden haze-covered sword once more.

Before Bayather could recover, her sword slashed Bayather’s neck.

The magical beast of legend, Bayater, was unable to use his power properly and ran away.

As a knight, he accomplished a tremendous feat.

“Dagraaan!! Dagran!!”

But none of that mattered.

Reina ran to Dagran and checked his condition.

It wasn’t a deep wound.

“Wait! I! I’ll treat you!”

Reina put her hand on Dagran’s chest and healed him.

Little by little, his wounds began to heal.

However, Dagran was smiling.

He opened his mouth and caressed Reina’s cheek.

“I said I would make you laugh, but you made me cry.”

“…?”

Rayna was startled and touched her cheek.

Tears were flowing.

“I, I…”

When I saw it, strangely, my eyes widened.

Moisture was building up in his nose.

I kept getting a frown.

“Uh, how… this, this…”

It was confusing.

This was the first time in my life.

How should we define this strange symptom?

sadness? anger? And also?.

It was nothing.

It was something more complex and higher than that.

“…”

But soon, Rayna came to a realization.

Actually, it was something I had kept for a long time, but I only realized it now.

Eventually, Reina herself defined the identity of this confusing symptom.

“…Anyway, I guess I love you.”
