Although Remiande said she wanted to have a closer relationship with Cohen, Cohen still maintained a certain distance from Remiande.
“Men and women shouldn’t be too close, An-jie!”
So, under Cohen’s strong request, he and Remiande moved into separate houses.
Just like that, Remiande became Cohen’s next-door neighbor.
That’s not how it was supposed to be!
But Remiande had to respect Cohen’s choice and separate from him.
After all, you can’t rush feelings.
Otherwise, you’ll lose your chicken instead of catching it…
Ahem, haste makes waste.
“Okay, don’t be unhappy. I’m not going to run away. What will you eat if I run away?”
Cohen kindly lectured Remiande.
Remiande kept ignoring him, seizing every opportunity to find Cohen.
“Um, Cohen, my faucet is broken.”
“Okay, I’ll fix it.”
“Cohen, I’m hungry again. I want to eat some snacks.”
“Sure, what flavor do you want?”
“Cohen, my back is so sore. Can you help me?”
“I’ll be right there.”
“Cohen, I………”
This was Remiande’s ultimate manipulation of Cohen.
She wanted to sneak into Cohen’s room whenever she had the chance, but even though she hinted at it so much, this blockhead didn’t react at all.
“Damn it…”
Remiande bit her thumb’s nail unhappily.
Cohen really didn’t think about it that way.
Please~ I’m super straight, super considerate of others~
Cohen just thought that Remiande had suffered too much in the past and just lacked someone to be spoiled by.
Who wouldn’t like a cute, beautiful, understanding pink-haired next-door neighbor?
It’s just a bit tiring.
Remiande constantly coming to find Cohen also meant that she didn’t have time to clean her own house.
Naturally, Cohen would clean it.
Sometimes, Remiande would leave some “small surprises” for Cohen.
Like women’s personal clothing or something.
Cohen always ran out with a red face when he saw these.
He scolded Remiande for being so sloppy.
And that was exactly the expression Remiande loved to see. She giggled to herself, admiring his bewildered look.
This was the everyday life she had dreamed of.
So Cohen wasn’t surprised at all that Remiande appeared in his room this time.
It would be a bigger problem if she wasn’t there one day.
Cohen brought the dishes out of the kitchen, telling Remiande to wash her hands properly.
Three dishes and a soup, just an ordinary meal.
“Dinner’s ready!”
Cohen helped Remiande serve rice and prepared to wash his hands himself.
“Ugh—”
Being immersed in the atmosphere of home made Cohen forget that he had taken a heavy punch today.
On the way to the sink, his body couldn’t help but sway violently, accompanied by heavy breathing.
Remiande never missed any details about Cohen.
She had realized when she pounced on him at the door that Cohen’s aura was a little off.
It was like he had been beaten up, causing his energy to be insufficient and his breathing to be chaotic.
And there was also the aura of magic attached to him, but Cohen didn’t know any magic at all.
So this should be man-made.
She really wanted to ask Cohen what had happened today, but he definitely wouldn’t tell her if she asked him directly.
He wouldn’t want her to worry.
So Remiande started to test Cohen.
At the dinner table, Remiande asked Cohen to feed her a piece of meat, but she sat on the opposite corner of the table, the farthest place from Cohen.
If Cohen wanted to feed Remiande, he would have to get up and approach Remiande.
And at this time, she could just take advantage of him—ah, no, touch Cohen’s body to find out what was wrong.
“Ah? Again? Sigh, okay.”
Cohen was still too gentle with her, falling for it so quickly.
“Ah—”
Remiande closed her eyes, opened her cherry-like small mouth, her pink lips and warm breath making her look pitiful at this time.
Cohen’s heart fluttered when he saw this scene.
Damn, when did An-jie become so sentimental?!
He had to admit that Cohen was a little shaken to some extent.
Cohen, constrained by the throbbing in his heart, slowly picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and stretched it towards Remiande’s mouth.
This was exactly what Remiande wanted.
In those few seconds that Cohen approached, Remiande secretly stretched her hand towards Cohen’s abdomen.
Sure enough, she found a slight magical fluctuation on Cohen’s stomach.
According to the flow of magic, Remiande discovered the texture of its operation.
It was the second-year’s steel hardening magic, and based on her current and previous study progress, it was exactly the time when the school teacher was teaching this lesson.
In other words, Cohen was likely bullied by a second-year student.
Because the magic of the higher grades was much more advanced than these basic magic.
If the higher grades wanted to beat people up, they didn’t need these small-power magic at all.
More advanced magic was not allowed to be released in the academy.
After completing the probe, Remiande suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Cohen.
Cohen was also taken aback.
He wondered what kind of trouble she was going to cause this time.
Remiande changed the topic and directly asked Cohen what was going on.
“Who hit you?”
“Ah? An-jie, what are you talking about?”
Cohen felt a little guilty.
“You can’t fool me. You took a punch on your stomach, and they even used steel hardening magic.
Why didn’t you report it to the teacher when you were beaten?”
Cohen was silent about this.
Remiande knew that Cohen was going to muddle through again, so she said to Cohen very strongly.
“Tell me, tell me who did it, and I’ll go to school to get justice for you.”
She was the student council president, so finding out about Cohen’s affairs was a matter of minutes.
Although she had never done this before coming to the academy.
Cohen was so gentle, so his reputation at school must be very good.
And someone dared to attack such a person?
Cohen still chose to remain silent in the face of Remiande’s questioning.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell Remiande.
Wait, it didn’t seem impossible?
But Cohen couldn’t say it. He always felt that something bad would happen.
What if she retaliates against me!
Then what should I do? Isn’t my villainous weakling life a life?
So please, An-jie, let me go.
Remiande sighed when she saw that Cohen was still silent.
“Come here, I’ll apply medicine for you. Why are you so confused?”
“Huh!? Oh, okay!”
Cohen, who was interrupted from his thoughts, slowly walked towards Remiande.
Remiande, who took out the medicine box, applied the medicine to the cotton swab and gently wiped it on Cohen’s abdomen.
Remiande’s eyes straightened when Cohen showed his abdominal muscles, almost making her wipe the drool from the corners of her mouth.
She still had to maintain a good lady image in front of Cohen.
While applying the medicine, Remiande began to think about how to make the criminal receive her torture.
When torture appeared in Remiande’s mind, the strength in her hand gradually increased.
“Ah—it hurts, it hurts!”
“Ah! I’m sorry, Cohen!”
Just bear with it a little longer!
After applying the medicine, Remiande returned to her room.
She opened the secret door in the room, walked in, and turned on the light.
What came into view was countless firearms.
From handguns to high-precision firearms, everything was available.
In fact, there were no firearms in this world until recently.
Everyone was still keen on using swords and magic to hurt each other.
And the emergence of firearms had to be attributed to Cohen.
One day, he inadvertently said that the students in the academy were like characters in science fiction movies.
Remiande was very interested in this. She was interested in everything unknown. Including everything about Cohen.
So Cohen told Remiande a lot about science fiction, including guns.
The manufacture of rockets and airplanes was of course a fantasy for the current Remiande.
But the times would not stop there. Rapid development would make these things appear in this magical world sooner or later.
Times are progressing, technology is progressing, and we are also progressing.
Cohen just accelerated the process.
But firearms were different. As long as she had the conditions, she could make them exactly the same as Cohen said.
So Remiande imitated the details Cohen said and made firearms herself.
It had to be said that Cohen’s drawing skills were also good. She didn’t expect that he would know so much.
Cohen was also half-knowledgeable. In fact, the things he provided couldn’t make firearms at all.
And under Remiande’s countless experiments and improvements, the truly modern firearms were born.
And the world’s opportunities were always coincidental. This process was discovered by the military of the royal family.
Remiande, who should have been arrested, was favored by a staff officer of the royal army and was specially invited to be the royal military designer.
Firearms were also first equipped in the army and were well received and purchased in large quantities by the army.
Remiande also understood the advantages and disadvantages of firearms and required the military not to spread or resell weapons, and announced her intellectual property rights.
The staff officer waved his hand and agreed arrogantly.
Remiande was also allowed to join the ranks of the royal family, but due to her studies at the academy, Remiande had to join the army after graduation.
And she didn’t want to leave Cohen too early. At this time, she had already accumulated countless wealth because of firearms.
In fact, the entire community was already Remiande’s property, but Remiande had never told Cohen.
She appreciated Cohen’s diligent and hardworking appearance of paying rent every month.
Although this money would go into Remiande’s pocket, she just liked it this way.
Anyway, this money would be their common property in the future.
That’s what Remiande thought.
She liked the shocked look on Cohen’s face when he found out in the future.
He would definitely hold his head and tremble and say this is not right, this is not true?
That would definitely be very interesting!
“In the end…”
Remiande picked up a specially made precision firearm that had been debugged, loaded the ammunition, and attached magic to enhance its power.
Cocked.
At this time, the firearm in her hand was not like a mold, but a magic wand full of magic and able to kill people.
“Let me see who is so bold.”
