Luna, with her arms crossed, looked askance at the Elves blocking their path.
Lunia flinched at the sight of Luna’s delinquent-like posture, her head tilted slightly to the side.
‘Come to think of it, Luna-nim is...’
She recalled what had happened in Luna’s world before.
Barharun.
The city of the High Elves.
There, Lunia had conquered that world while playing the role of an Elf princess.
‘The attitude of the High Elves I saw back then wasn’t much different from the Pureblood Society.’
Furthermore, Lunia clearly remembered how the High Elves had treated Luna at the time.
Later, when she entered Dweno’s world, Lunia was able to read records about how the Elves had collapsed during the Era of Calamity.
That was why she could understand why Luna was reacting this way.
“What is the meaning of this?”
Lunia took a step forward and looked at the members of the Pureblood Society.
Her unique red eyes glowed coldly.
Even in current Elf society, the perception of the Pureblood Society was not good.
Lunia, too, had never looked kindly upon the group, so her reaction was harsh.
But on the other hand, she knew there were still many Elves steeped in pureblood elitism.
Because of that, Lunia could guess why they had blocked their path.
“Miss Lunia El Lunda. You are the future of Seiren and a candidate for Student Council President. Have you forgotten that you are in a position where you must always be mindful of maintaining your dignity?”
‘As I thought, they came here to spout bullshit.’
Lunia let out a frustrated sigh.
“Such a delinquent attitude again.”
“I understand better than anyone that I am the Student Council President of Seiren. And I have never done anything that would bring me shame, have I?”
“The mere fact that you are wandering through such a filthy alley alone damages the prestige of Elves.”
Lunia looked up at the sky and muttered.
“Wow, this is driving me crazy.”
“You should not use such vulgar language. In the first place, why on earth are you hanging around with such a low-class Elf?”
The Elf from the Pureblood Society standing at the front frowned as he looked at Luna.
“Rumors have been circulating that there is someone wandering the streets of this district in a drunken state, bringing shame to the Elves.”
“I wonder who that could be?”
As Luna muttered with interest, her arms still crossed, the faces of the Pureblood Society Elves contorted.
“Is it not you?”
“Was it?”
Luna gave a thin smile.
“A disgrace to Elves, indeed.”
“Lunia El Lunda. To associate with such an Elf. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“Are you not ashamed before the name of the Founder?”
Lunia wore an expression of disbelief.
‘Who do you think you’re mentioning the Founder of the Nebula to right now!’
They were bringing up the Founder right in front of the Founder of the Nebula herself!
Moreover, while insulting Luna herself!
Lunia looked at Luna, feeling restless.
However, Luna looked as if she found the current situation quite novel and entertaining.
“What’s wrong with the way Lunia is now? If anything, the Founder of the Nebula would find this Lunia even more adorable.”
Giggling, Luna pulled Lunia into her embrace.
“Oof?!”
Lunia, her face buried in Luna’s chest, opened her eyes wide and looked up at Luna.
Luna looked down at her and winked.
Lunia, who had been leaning awkwardly in Luna’s arms, took a breath.
‘It feels like my mother’s embrace.’
Feeling the warmth, Lunia’s expression relaxed, and she suddenly thought.
‘But she’s surprisingly well-endowed.’
The thought occurred to her naturally.
“Who are you to presume to judge the Founder’s will so recklessly?”
“This is surprisingly fun.”
Luna smiled brightly as she watched the Elf who kept refuting her by bringing up her own name in every sentence.
“Lunia El Lunda. Because you maintain friendships with humans like Leo Plov, your social circles are becoming a mess.”
But at the words that followed, the smile on Luna’s face vanished instantly.
Lunia, still in Luna’s arms, also felt the sudden change in atmosphere and looked bewildered.
“What about Leo?”
Step.
Luna let go of Lunia and took a step forward.
“He is a thief who recklessly took the treasure of the Elves.”
“Acting all important as if he were chosen by the Founder.”
“A lowly human who gained fame by inflating his achievements.”
The Pureblood Society slandered Leo.
They did not hesitate for a moment to look down on others.
‘Indeed, for this kind of crowd, the truth doesn’t matter. What matters is simply what they want to believe.’
Luna curled her lips.
She was tired of being familiar with this type of Elf.
But being familiar did not mean she was not angry.
‘Especially insulting Kyle is something I absolutely cannot tolerate.’
“To whom are you saying such nonsense right now—”
Lunia, who was about to lash out at the Pureblood Society with a fierce expression, caught a glimpse of Luna’s face.
Luna’s face, which had not changed when she was being insulted, was now as cold as ice.
The moment Lunia flinched.
Luna reached out her hand.
Grab!
“Gak?!”
The Elf at the very front clutched his throat.
His body floated into the air and was pulled toward Luna.
“Gack, gack, gack!”
“What is the meaning of this!”
“How dare you attack us!”
The Elves tried to use magic in their fury.
At that moment, Luna lightly snapped her fingers.
Snap!
Whoosh!
A small wind blew.
“No way...”
“W-What is this!”
“The magic won’t activate?”
The faces of the Pureblood Society Elves turned to shock.
They could not use Star Magic.
It was not just that the magic would not activate.
The Stellar Mana itself, necessary to use Star Magic, had vanished.
“You won’t be able to use Star Magic ever again.”
Luna spoke as if it were nothing.
“What preposterous nonsense!”
The Elf whose neck was held by Luna’s Magic Power let out a venomous scream.
“For ordinary magic, it would be nonsense. But for Star Magic, it’s possible. Because your Star Magic is incomplete.”
The current Star Magic formulas were the ones Seiren had passed down to future generations.
Of course, that alone exerted powerful force.
But the fatal flaw was that since it was Luna’s Original Magic, the Star Magic Seiren passed down was inevitably a Minor Copy.
And even that had not been properly completed.
If Seiren had had a little more time, it would have been reborn in a complete form, but unfortunately, the Comet Mage had no time.
“You know that when you use a Magic Formula, invisible traces are engraved on your body, right? The pathways through which Magic Power flows. I’ve ruined those paths.”
“That’s impossible...”
“Yeah. Normally, it’s impossible. But I can do it.”
“What did you say?!”
“Because I am the creator of this magic.”
Luna smiled brightly.
The other Pureblood Society Elves shouted, asking what she was talking about.
However, the face of the Elf captured by Luna turned pale.
Having twisted ideology did not mean he was slow-witted or stupid.
He had finally understood what was happening.
“F-Founder...”
Luna, who had released her Perception-Hindering Magic, smiled cruelly.
“I’m not particularly benevolent or kind-hearted like the stories say. If I feel bad, I have to retaliate to feel satisfied.”
With an expressionless face, Luna pushed the Pureblood Society Elf away.
“Gah!”
Tumbling on the ground, he hurriedly bowed his head.
“Founder of the Nebula! Please forgive me for speaking such nonsense to you!”
Seeing him shiver and shout in fear, the Pureblood Society members following him also sensed that something had gone terribly wrong.
“I didn’t create this magic for kids like you to learn. And I certainly never told you to use this magic to create classes among Elves.”
Luna spoke coldly.
“Above all. I will never tolerate anyone insulting that guy.”
Luna turned her head.
“You will not be able to use Star Magic for the rest of your lives.”
“F-Founder!”
Luna snorted and snapped her fingers again.
With that, their movements stopped.
“What did you do to them?”
Lunia hurriedly approached Luna and asked.
“I erased their memories of what happened just now.”
(T/N: Gdjdgisdkdhdkgdkdvjd. That is insane!!)
Lunia looked back with a surprised face as Luna answered as if it were nothing.
Indeed, the Pureblood Society members who had picked a fight with Luna were now looking around in confusion, not knowing why they were there.
Despite such a commotion, the surroundings were quiet as well.
She had controlled the area with magic.
“You’re amazing.”
“Lysinas or Dweno would have scolded me if they knew. Well, they’re not here right now.”
Luna gave a bitter smile.
Looking at her, Lunia wore an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry for showing you such a sight.”
“It has nothing to do with you. I know very well that such things are an Elf racial trait.”
Luna shrugged as if she did not care.
“Now then, since our mood is a bit gloomy, shall we go cheer up?”
“Yes! Where should we go first?”
“Spending money is the best way to cheer up.”
===
The place Luna and Lunia headed was Courage Street.
Befitting the Twilight Festival, Courage Street was also bustling and full of life.
Temporary auctions were in full swing throughout the street.
Tourists caught up in the festival atmosphere actively participated in auctions to buy good souvenirs.
In addition to business and auctions, street performances were in full swing.
Luna was once again helping herself to the alcohol sold on the street today.
With a glass in one hand, Luna looked around the street until a section gathered with storytellers appeared.
Among them, stories about the Great Heroes were overwhelmingly popular.
“Now then! Who is the man the Founder of the Nebula, Luna, loved!”
At the voice heard then, Lunia pricked up her ears.
“It was none other than the Divine Blacksmith! That is, Dweno!”
At that cry, Lunia burst into laughter and looked at Luna’s face.
Luna’s face had turned terrifying.
Seeing Luna’s face, Lunia covered her mouth.
“How was it with Dweno-nim?”
“You said you saw Dweno in person, didn’t you?”
“Yes. I saw him in the Hero Record.”
“He asked you to be his nude model, didn’t he?”
“...Yes.”
“Do you think I’d like a pervert like that?!”
Seeing Luna scowl, Lunia scratched her cheek.
“Then, among the Great Heroes, were there no ones who loved each other?”
“Yeah. There were no couples. Although there were people with feelings.”
“R-Really?”
Lunia’s eyes widened.
“Of course.”
“W-Who liked whom?”
Lunia asked, swallowing hard.
Luna looked at Lunia, drained the contents of her glass, and said with a smile.
“Kyle loved me.”
“Excuse me?”
“He loved me quite passionately.”
Luna spoke nonchalantly, saying something that would have earned her a kick in the butt if Leo had heard it.
“Ah—”
Luna let out a sigh, holding her head as if she could not help it.
“He loved me so anxiously and wooed me so much. I’m telling you, he always looked at me with burning eyes.”
“...When I saw him in person, I thought he was a cold person, so that’s unexpected.”
Lunia thought of the Hero of Beginning, Kyle, whom she had met briefly in Dweno’s world.
He had had a somewhat dry and dull impression.
Looking at Lunia, Luna said.
“Yeah. He was that kind of man. But it’s true that Kyle loved me. By the way, this must be an absolute secret. Especially from that Leo fellow.”
“Ah, yes. But why specifically a secret from Leo...”
“Because it’s a secret.”
Luna smiled mischievously, placing her index finger on her lips.
As Lunia nodded blankly at that smile, Luna grabbed passing people and said.
“Do you know this?! The Hero of Beginning, Kyle, liked the Founder of the Nebula, Luna!”
Seeing Luna acting like a total drunkard with a straight face, Lunia wore a serious expression.
‘It doesn’t seem like much of a secret, does it?’
“Step right up! Everyone! Let me introduce you to a mysterious medicine! Its name is the Love Elixir!”
At the item with a familiar name heard from a street auction, Luna narrowed her eyes, and Lunia looked incredulous.
Anyone with magical knowledge knew how ridiculous a Love Elixir was.
As expected, when boos poured out from everywhere, the auctioneer spoke.
“I cannot reveal the exact source of this medicine, but for now, why not buy it and see? Who knows, maybe your love will really come true?”
But the auctioneer shamelessly continued the pitch.
In fact, at auctions like this, such nonsensical items appeared occasionally.
Because it was a festival, humorous items were also featured.
The Love Elixir up for auction was contained in a beautiful bottle.
The golden elixir, emitting a beautiful light, seemed valuable enough for ornamental purposes alone.
Seeing the liquid itself look like a piece of art, several young couples caught up in the festival atmosphere showed interest and participated in the bidding.
“They’re selling all sorts of things.”
It was just as Lunia let out a hollow laugh.
“That elixir.”
“Yes?”
“It looks a bit like a medicine made by a certain pervert. Let’s buy it so I can check.”
“Ah, yes.”
Lunia participated in the auction with a dazed expression.
Even while staring intently at the Love Elixir, Luna let out a hollow laugh.
‘Nah, there’s no way.’
