Episode 100
âWhen you already have someone you love with all your might?â
As soon as I heard it, my heart seemed to sink with a thump.
âNo way, I didnât expect it to be that bad.â
âYerine, I hate love potion. You know itâs close to taboo for anyone majoring in magical drugs to bring out that word, right?â
âHuh? Yeah, I know.â
I nodded awkwardly and responded to Raylâs words.
âI hate love potion because they falsely manipulate peopleâs minds. Itâs about creating emotions that werenât true love and itâs about making people misunderstand.â
âYes, the love potion lasts only 15 days at the longest.â
Raylâs eyes slowly shifted toward the chocolate.
He was looking at the box of chocolates with a really pathetic look.
âThatâs right, manipulating emotions. Itâs not real love. It can be seen from the fact that lovers made through love potion often donât last that long.â
âBut the drugged person acts as if they have more passionate love. Just for a moment.â
Rayl said, tapping his finger on his head.
âI mean, even a genius wizard could be fooled hardly by those fake emotions.â
The story that Rayl told me was interesting. But it was still difficult to figure out why he brought it up.
So I just smiled and answered back.
âI see. I didnât know because I never really learned about loveâs potion.â
Rayl stared at me, folded his arms and tilted his head.
For more,
When Eugene snatched the chocolate from his hand, Rayl secretly smiled with remorse.
Eugene, who peeled the chocolate wrapper with a hint of irritation, put the chocolate in his mouth.
Rayl smiled slightly at Eugeneâs appearance.
âNow, what will happen?â
Eugene chewed and swallowed the chocolate, and Rayl didnât miss Adamâs neck moving.
âHow does it taste?â
When asked indirectly, Eugene responded concisely.
âItâs delicious.â
At the words, Rayl smiled broadly.
Eugene definitely swallowed the chocolate completely.
âHey, say my thanks to your brother.â
âYeah, yeah. I told you it was delicious. Iâll tell him that.â
Symptoms of a person swallowing love potion include redness of the face, blank eyes, excessive heartbeat, and murmuring.
But Eugene, who looked down at the Rayl with his blue eyes, had nothing different than usual.
âEugene, arenât you a little hot?â
âHot? No.
Eugene replied, frowning as if it was strange.
âArenât your heartbeats pounding unusually?â
Then, Eugene looked at Rayl with a suspicious look.
âNo, why should my heartbeats be pounding now?â
âYouâre saying no anyway, right?â
Eugeneâs eyes, which looked at the Rayl as very strange, were unshaken.
With his usual sharp and clear eyes, Rayl was sure.
âI knew it.â
The love potion didnât work for Eugene either.
âIf not, thatâs fine.â
âRayl Diamond, did you do something?â
Eugene, who is quick-witted, couldnât just let go of this.
âOh, itâs a little dangerous.â
But it didnât matter much.
At Eugeneâs gaze, as he stares at himself, Rayl whistled and blew up.
âNo way, I wouldnât do that. I know you wonât leave me alone if I get caught.â
âI know that, but youâve been playing weird tricks all this time.â
Eugene raised his voice and took a step in front of Rayl.
âYou, be honest. What did you put in there?â
âI didnât put anything in it.â
âDo you think your lies will work for me?â
In Eugeneâs increasingly threatening eyes, Rayl crept back and thought to herself.
âThis guy is so quick-witted.â
âI really didnât put it in. As you can see, thereâs nothing wrong with you.â
âNot all magic potions work the moment you take them. Especially if it were you, you would have done something to keep yourself out of sight.â
âEugene, I swear. I didnât put anything in.â
âThen why did you smile so much?â
Rayl smiled nonchalantly and made excuses.
âThatâs, I was just glad you enjoyed my brothersâ chocolate.â
âIs that really the only reason?â
âHey, how many years have we been together and you donât believe that?â
âI know what youâve done with Jacqueline over the years, so I donât believe you anymore.â
Eugene spoke with a sharp voice like an awl.
âThatâs too much. Well, I didnât put anything in.â
âThen you should try that chocolate in front of me.â
When Eugene said that, Rayl thought to himself.
âI just bring chocolate with nothing in it just in case, but this is great.â
Thinking he wanted to bring it somehow, Rayl took out the remaining chocolate and peeled it off.
Then he put it in his mouth and rolled it slowly with his tongue.
Eugene did not miss any of the processes and looked closely at it.
âNow, Iâve swallowed it. Check my mouth.â
When Rayl opened her mouth, Eugene frowned and replied.
âGet rid of it. You donât have to do that.â
âYeah. Anyway, itâs okay, right? I didnât put anything in it.â
Nevertheless, Eugene did not stop looking into the doubt.
âDidnât you just prepare chocolate without anything and two chocolates with something in it?â
When asked the right question, Rayl clicked his tongue inside.
âI donât know heâs this persistent.â
âI doubt it no matter how much I look at it. What the hell are you doingââ
âEugene.â
Eugene, who had been spitting out his words with a calm voice, stopped talking.
Rayl looked straight at Eugene and asked.
âDo you like Yerine that much?â
âââââ
