A beautiful golden liquid flowed into Lord Leo’s mouth.
The faces of the surrounding female students froze as they watched.
Gulp-
Leo’s throat moved gracefully.
The refreshing aroma spreading in his mouth.
Along with it, he felt his tired body from training recovering.
As Leo felt his body becoming much clearer and was about to open his mouth, Celia panicked.
“Don’t look! Don’t look at anyone else!”
Celia quickly covered Leo’s eyes with her hands.
“Hey! All of you, back off! Don’t even think about making eye contact with Leo!”
Celia was well-known for never showing any cracks in her behavior.
It was Celia’s motto to always be the perfect top student as a descendant of the Zerdinger lineage.
Yet, this Celia was revealing tremendous emotional turmoil.
“Brother Leo! What will happen if you consume that!”
Chelsea also approached Leo with an extremely flustered face.
“Back off, shoo! Shoo!”
Celia waved her legs while covering Leo’s eyes with both hands, resembling someone chasing away harmful animals.
Though Chelsea slightly wrinkled her face at Celia’s behavior, she took a step back as Celia had said, because Leo was the priority right now.
“Isn’t this overreacting?”
“Overreacting? You’re the heir of the Zerdinger family and our school’s Student Council President! You shouldn’t behave strangely!”
Celia said strongly as Leo tried to remove her hands.
While observing this scene, Chloe stopped her quarrel with Eliza and turned up the corners of her mouth.
“It might be quite entertaining? It seems fun, so let’s see how effective this love potion or whatever is.”
“Huh?”
At Eliza’s words, Chen Sia covered her mouth with her hand and let out an exclamation.
Her ladylike, graceful demeanor was full of elegance.
But her eyes were lethal.
“Is what’s happening now amusing, Miss Eliza?”
At Chen Sia’s question, Eliza averted her eyes.
“Kal, quickly, make an antidote.”
At Chloe’s words, Kal awkwardly scratched his head.
“There is no separate antidote. Just being careful for a day should be fine, right?”
When Chloe gave him a cold stare, Kal hastily added.
“How about this? Besides Eliza, there’s no one here who would do anything strange to Leo, right?”
Kal grinned.
“Since it already turned out this way, how about one person sticks with Leo all day?”
“What?”
“I think Chloe would be good. She’s also the head of the Glorious Dormitory and has been close since the first year.”
Kal’s sly words made Chloe’s face turn red.
“Wha- what are you talking about?”
“Anyway, I believe the effects of the drug will only last about a day.”
“I can also look after Lord Leo well.”
“I was in the same class as Brother Leo for a year, too?”
Chen Sia and Chelsea also stepped forward.
At the sight of this, Celia said.
“Never even dream of it!”
“Hmph, if you’re so dissatisfied, Celia Zerdinger. Why don’t you take care of him?”
At Eliza’s words, Celia replied.
“Don’t say something that will cause trouble. Leo and I are cousins, after all?”
“Celia.”
At that moment, Leo spoke.
“I’ll close my eyes, but please take your hands away.”
At those words, Celia nodded and removed her hands.
Afterward, they discussed what to do with Leo.
“Brother Leo, why on earth did you drink that?”
During the conversation, when Leo said he wanted water, Chelsea approached to pour water for him.
“Chelsea.”
“Yes?”
When Chelsea turned her head to look at Leo, she felt her heart drop.
Beautiful crimson eyes were staring directly at her.
“Wha-wha-wha…”
Chelsea was so flustered that she couldn’t even form sentences properly.
“Leo and Chelsea made eye contact!”
At the sight, Kal gasped.
“Hey! Chelsea LeWalyn!”
As Celia shouted with her eyes ablaze, Chelsea, who was thoroughly flustered, said,
“Ah, no! It’s not because I wanted to, Brother Leo looked at me… Ow! Really!”
Chelsea, stomping her feet, didn’t know what to do.
And when she glanced sideways at Leo, her face turned extremely red.
Seeing this, Leo smirked and patted her head like he usually did.
This usual behavior made Chelsea’s eyes go wide.
“No effect at all.”
At Leo’s words, everyone showed surprised expressions.
“Lord Leo, are you feeling nothing?”
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“Thank goodness.”
Seeing Leo calmly shrugging his shoulders, Chloe sighed deeply in relief.
“Ultimately, it seems you’ve created another failure.”
Celia lazily opened her eyes with her arms crossed.
Kal scratched his cheek.
“That’s what it seems.”
“Hmph, I’m feeling somewhat foolish for a moment.”
Eliza snorted and turned around.
The incident settled down as Kal burst out laughing and said,
“Phew~ Thank goodness it was a failure! Hahaha! Now, it’s time to go stop the kids.”
Kal, who was trying to move past the situation naturally, had his hand reached by Chloe.
“Whyyy!”
“You. Do you actually think you can get away with causing such accidents like this?”
Chloe grabbed Kal’s ear, and Celia brushed her hair aside at this sight.
“How do you plan to take responsibility for this commotion?”
Chelsea, flexing her small joints with a frightening Uduk-Uduk sound, lazily opened her eyes.
“Did you prepare yourself?”
“Hey! I didn’t know it would escalate so much! I really didn’t expect it!”
Kal argued, his face turning pale.
At this sight, Chen Sia smiled faintly.
“Everyone, let’s not blame him too much. You can’t personally punish a student like this, right?”
“Chen Sia!”
“I’ll bring this as an issue to the Student Council. Student Kal, I believe you’ve had a history of illegal drug production and sale captured by the Student Council before, haven’t you? As far as I know, it was warned that if there were any more incidents, you wouldn’t be spared.”
Kal’s face turned white.
“Kal planned it and intended to certainly report it to the Student Council. Although the incident started with Kal, you can’t really call him the main culprit. Don’t blame him too much.”
“Leo! As expected, you’re the only one who understands!”
Kal, staring at his defending friend, made a face as if he was about to cry.
Everyone among the female students also seemed to think so upon hearing Leo’s words.
“Anyway, why was a failure created?”
“Because of Kal.”
Chloe tilted her head in wonder, and Chelsea, crossing her arms, replied.
The incident settled down that way.
As Leo headed back to his room, he murmured,
“Kal got it right.”
Leo looked down at the potion bottle.
“People have been thinking the same way for the past 5,000 years or even today. Thinking drinking would make a difference…”
Leo smirked.
Dwenno’s potion of love.
It was not supposed to be drunk.
Recalling 5,000 years ago, Leo laughed.
Click-
That day, it was after a meeting about future matters at Guardstron.
Only the five Great Heroes remained seated in the conference room when Dwenno placed a small bottle filled with golden liquid on the table.
“What is this?”
Lissinas asked curiously.
“A potion of love.”
Lissinas, Aron, and Kyle looked at Dwenno in disbelief.
“Someone kept bothering me to make it, so I did. It lasts only a day, but its effect is clear.”
With serious intent, Dwenno spoke. Aron widened his eyes and asked Kyle,
“Who on earth was it?”
“Exactly. Who thought up such nonsense? It would be better just to say yes when someone likes you.”
“Kyle, though I agree entirely with your opinion, I can’t tolerate the way you, being dense, expressed it.”
“Why you little dwarf, are you picking a fight all of a sudden?”
Kyle frowned.
Looking intently at Luna, Lissinas did the same.
Luna casually looked away and played dumb.
“What a surprise, you spend your time creating such nonsense. Unexpected.”
In response to Lissinas’ words, Dwenno said,
“I hadn’t intended to create it. However, upon contemplating, love is indeed a beautiful emotion, isn’t it? As a worshiper of beauty, it was a sentiment I couldn’t ignore. So, I attempted to create it.”
“I’m not curious at all about how you could interpret it so perverted.”
At Kyle’s words, Luna suddenly stood up and said,
“Since we’re here, let’s try it out, Kyle.”
“What?”
“Drink.”
“…”
Kyle squinted his face and looked at Luna.
“Why should I drink this bizarre potion that I don’t even understand?”
“You’re the best candidate.”
With a sly grin, Luna approached Kyle holding the flask.
“Here. Aaa!”
“Are you not going to push me away? You fool.”
“Just drink it!”
“As a leader, I can’t let a party member ingest something so peculiar. Luna, get rid of this immediately.”
“Tch!”
Luna uncorked the potion and attempted to force Kyle to drink it.
Kyle grabbed the bottle from her hand and forced Luna to drink instead.
“Ump? Uuuuump?”
Wide-eyed, Luna struggled and tried to shake it off.
Kyle tightly wrapped his hands around her back and held her firmly.
Luna struggled at first when embraced by Kyle but soon became red even to her ears and lost her strength.
Lissinas hesitated to speak, while Aron’s eyes widened.
“You drink it. Don’t try to feed it to someone else.”
“Huuh—!”
Luna let out a strange groan and pulled away from Kyle, her eyes tightly shut.
“How dare you feed this to Luna!”
“Should I just stand there when you try to forcibly feed me something with magic?”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
As Lissinas and Kyle squabbled, Luna, with fluttering eyelashes, glanced cautiously at Kyle.
Somewhere in her expression was tension,
But her face was slightly flushed as she looked at Kyle.
Kyle approached her, leaning in toward her face.
“What do you think? Am I someone you could fall in love with?”
“Kyle…”
“Luna! Just a moment…”
As Lissinas attempted to stop Luna urgently,
“What kind of nonsense is this! You son of a g*n!”
Whack-!
Luna rammed her head straight into Kyle’s face.
“What a wild woman…”
Kyle groaned, clutching his face.
Ignoring Kyle behind her, Luna confronted Dwenno.
“What is this?! Absolutely nothing happened! Total failure!”
At Luna’s words, Dwenno wore an expression of disdain.
“Failure does not exist in my vocabulary. Especially not for art.”
“What?”
“When you’re thinking of making someone drink it, that’s surprisingly low-level. Of course, drinking it can help with recovering from fatigue. But the true way to use this potion of love that I created is different.”
“What is it?”
At Luna’s sleepy glance, Dwenno’s eyes widened.
“Spraying! The moment you spray the potion on your body, you revert to the form you were born with!”
“…”
Luna’s mind went blank as she couldn’t comprehend instantly, and Lissinas’ face also showed confusion.
Aron turned red as he listened and asked,
“So, spraying this potion will dissolve all your clothes?”
“Exactly! Aron!”
“How can you call such a perverse potion a potion of love!”
As Luna shouted, her ears turning red,
“You don’t understand! Imagine two good-looking people seeing each other’s beautiful bodies in a room! And all of this during a day when everything on their bodies melts away! Wouldn’t they naturally fall in love?”
“Calling such a vulgar potion a potion of love! You perverted dwarf!”
Luna yelled furiously.
“Again, you utterly fail to understand art!”
Lissinas held his head in despair and sighed deeply.
“So this is the hope of the world.”
‘Maybe only I know the real effects.’
Leo shrugged.
‘Kal probably won’t try making it again.’
