Ending Maker Episode 468
SS #40 Time to back(2)
Five hours before the date.
Cordelia, sitting in front of the mirror, closed her eyes and took a deep breath as if to increase concentration before a match, while Dahlia, standing a few steps away, swallowed dry saliva in embarrassment and tension.
That would be the case, as there were more than one or two things that were different from usual.
‘The preparations are in full swing!’
Cordelia usually wore little makeup.
It was not only because she was still too young to wear heavy makeup, but also because Cordelia had never been very interested in dressing herself up in the first place.
‘Of course, but our young lady is pretty, cute, and lovable.’
Cordelia was born with such exceptional beauty that even if she only wore basic makeup, which was embarrassing to call makeup, like Dahlia, she would not have any problems.
White, clear skin that doesn’t need to be covered up with powder.
Clean features and large eyes that don’t require any optical illusions.
Pink lips, a color that is beautiful in itself.
So, up until now, Dahlia had never recommended Cordelia to wear makeup.
There is no need to force yourself to put on makeup if you don’t particularly want to or don’t necessarily need to.
however.
‘How did you know all that? I heard there are so many different types of cosmetics.’
In front of Cordelia, there were now various types of cosmetics lined up.
Dahlia, who was an adult woman, did not know much about cosmetics because her main job was as a reporter and she was far from having any experience with makeup.
But I still had a rough idea of what kind of cosmetics there were, but it seems my scope of knowledge was limited.
About half of the cosmetics placed in front of Cordelia were items she had never seen before.
‘I’ll be cheering you on, Miss.’
I’m trying to give it a lot of strength because it’s my first date with Prince Yuder-
‘Ouch! Oh, come to think of it, it’s our first date!’
That’s right.
This was Uther and Cordelia’s first date.
Because of my very sickly son, I’ve never even thought about going on an outdoor date.
‘Cheer up, Miss.’
It was the moment when Dahlia, clenching her fists once again, cheered on Cordelia.
“Let’s get started.”
Cordelia, who had been speaking very quietly, opened her eyes and began to reach out her hands without hesitation toward the cosmetics.
In fact, as Dahlia thought, Cordelia had lived a life far from makeup.
Even in her previous life as Hong Yu-hee, she only wore basic makeup.
‘I was a high school student to begin with.’
Anyway, it is clear that I have lived a life of makeup and walls.
But at the same time, Cordelia was also very accustomed to makeup.
Since I met Yuder, or more precisely, since I started working as Yuder’s assistant(?), I’ve come into contact with countless cosmetics.
They say that if a dog studies at a private school for three years, it will be able to recite poetry.
As Cordelia received all kinds of makeup from Uther, she learned a lot about cosmetics and eventually even learned makeup techniques.
‘Because I wanted to do it for Yuria.’
Because I didn’t want to say, ‘Mom, you can’t do it well, so ask Dad!’
In any case, by the time Yuria was born, Cordelia had already become a makeup pro, and after another ten years, she had acquired makeup skills(?) on par with a professional makeup artist.
‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve done it myself.’
Aside from acquiring the skills, Uder didn’t stay still.
Cordelia smiled involuntarily as she recalled Uther rushing to her, saying that dressing her up was his duty and right. She picked up the cosmetics.
And about half an hour later.
Dahlia’s eyes opened wide in surprise, and Cordelia smiled again as she looked at herself in the mirror.
‘Well, okay. Perfect.’
Even if you look at the current Yura, you can’t help but fall in love with her.
Cordelia thought of Uther blushing and embarrassed, yet pretending not to notice because of her pride, and stood up with a dark smile on her face.
“Dahlia, I need to prepare something myself for the last time, so please leave me alone for a moment.”
“Alone… … standing?”
“Okay, okay. Please.”
What on earth are you trying to do?
Dahlia was skeptical, but soon nodded and answered cheerfully.
“Yes, Miss. I’ll be waiting.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
So Dahlia goes out and one minute, two minutes.
Cordelia, who had finally caught her breath, took off the dress she was wearing and began to put on the equipment she had prepared in advance while still in her underwear.
Belts to wrap around your thighs and calves, and magical items to attach to your belt.
Small pockets that fit inside the skirt.
‘and…….’
Even some items I didn’t bring before.
Cordelia, fully equipped, looked back at herself in the mirror, and suddenly thought of the beautiful body that Uther had been praising so much.
‘I don’t need to worry about that… underwear… yet, right?’
Cordelia coughed and changed into new underwear with a slightly red face.
I heard somewhere that true preparation is to thoroughly prepare even for the unseen, even if there is nothing to show.
‘Oh, just in case.’
if.
Really, maybe.
Just in case.
“Ahem.”
Cordelia cleared her throat, turned around, and opened the closet door.
And then again, how much time had passed?
Cordelia clenched her fists as she completed her date look by changing into her underwear, putting on a dress, and even putting on a large-brimmed white hat for going out.
‘Okay, let’s give it a try.’
Cordelia spun around, looking at herself in the mirror, and smiled mischievously as she thought of Uther.
* * *
“Yellow… … storm?”
As expected, it was as expected.
Uther’s first reaction to seeing the full-set Cordelia was very satisfying.
He looked at me with a blank expression and his mouth was wide open.
‘What I’m saying is that it’s a different level from before.’
During my first date with Yuder before the regression(?), I prepared passively, thinking, ‘Well, it’s a date, so I should at least dress up a little, right?’
To be honest, Cordelia and Dahlia weren’t very good at dressing up.
But this time it was different.
He himself demonstrated his skills as a disciple of Yuder, the continent’s best makeup artist.
‘We prepared even the places you can’t see.’
Cordelia smiled with a repentant smile, pretended to be calm as she faced Uther and quietly got into the carriage.
And so the carriage set off.
Although Maia and Dahlia were on board together, Uther and Cordelia were sitting facing each other, so they could see each other’s reactions very well.
‘Hoohoohoohoo. Yuder is embarrassed. He’s embarrassed.’
But the current Yuder won’t admit it.
No, even though she herself may not know it, Cordelia herself was a being that was exactly what Uther liked.
Is there a beautiful woman who is the epitome of your taste sitting right in front of you with her beauty turned up to the max?
‘It’s just death, death.’
Whatever your head is, your body has no choice but to be honest – Cordelia recalled a line from a really dirty book that Caesar had recommended, and looked straight at Uther’s face, laughing inwardly.
It was to make eye contact with Yuder, who was trying hard to avoid eye contact but still occasionally turned his gaze as if to steal a glance in this direction.
‘Your face is red. You’re cute. Is this how Yuder feels?’
So you were upset because you couldn’t tease me every day?
Anyway, it was fun.
I was very satisfied.
And then another hour or so.
After arriving at their destination, the Belkane Mountains, Uther and Cordelia got out of the carriage and walked towards the flower garden located in the distance.
“The flowers are really pretty.”
“That’s… … that’s it.”
At Cordelia’s words, Uther answered with a slight frown.
Why is this kid who is so good at acting acting like this today?
Are you that embarrassed?
‘Hey, act properly. Dahlia and Maia are watching.’
As Cordelia glared at him, Uther narrowed his eyes even further, but soon nodded.
‘Child, you’re embarrassed.’
Just as Uther knew Cordelia so well, Cordelia also knew Uther so well.
Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that he is almost a doctor of eugenics?
‘I don’t want to admit it.’
That Uther himself was feeling his heart pounding when he saw Cordelia.
That it goes beyond just being surprised, that I am attracted to it as a person of the opposite sex.
‘But still, our Yuder.’
Was resisting.
I was trying to control my emotions by exerting my rational power to the fullest extent.
The evidence is in those furrowed eyebrows and those occasionally twitching eyes.
The reality that Yuder, a master of acting, is not acting properly.
‘But Yuder, you’ll fall head over heels for me later, right?’
How do you not know?
I’ve seen it all from the future.
“Hehehe, hehehehehe.”
Cordelia, with a dark smile on her face, decided to take one more step since it had come to this.
What was in this place right now was not the innocent seventeen-year-old Cordelia who was teased by Uther every day, but Black Cordelia who had already fallen for Uther.
“No, no bomb?!”
“Stay still.”
As she approached him slightly and hugged his arm, Uther opened his eyes wide in surprise, but Cordelia spoke calmly in a small voice.
“Dahlia and Maia are watching.”
“No, if it’s like this, then of course I have no choice but to see it-.”
Yuder spoke quickly and looked back slightly, then quickly closed his mouth and turned his head.
Maia and Dahlia, who were expressing embarrassment and joy while covering their mouths with both hands, turned their heads to look back, and Cordelia’s face was right in front of them.
It’s too close.
Too close.
Moreover, the height difference was so small that even our eye level and lip level were almost the same, which was very upsetting.
And Cordelia did not miss this opportunity to exploit Yuder’s weaknesses.
Hold her arms a little tighter and press them against your chest.
It’s something that White Cordelia can’t even imagine, but it’s something so simple for Black Cordelia.
“What, what are you doing… … .”
“Shh. I told you Dahlia and Maia are watching?”
Let’s speak quickly. Yuder shut his mouth firmly.
Not only his face, but even his ears and neck were red.
‘Our Yuder is secretly quite shy.’
Besides, I’ve been building walls around women since I was the guy next door.
Of course, there was Natasha, but the current Yuder hasn’t seen Natasha in six years.
And there was one more condition that Cordelia had not considered: the current Yuder was a hot-blooded, stormy-stressed 17-year-old.
“Yuder, why are you suddenly pushing your butt back?”
Instead of answering Cordelia’s question, Uther closed his eyes tightly and recited the Heart Sutra diligently. Cordelia tilted her head as if worried about him and looked back at Uther.
Pressing your chest a little closer.
“No, no, no. Let’s talk about our work.”
“Okay, let’s do it.”
We were so close together that it was enough to whisper.
At the sound of Cordelia’s breath on his ear, Uder flinched again, then opened his mouth with difficulty.
“First, we must go to the Temple of Solari.”
“You mean, separate Dahlia and Maia?”
“… … Yeah, so I have a route in mind.”
“You mean we should just jump off that cliff with flying magic? There’s a shortcut.”
“… … That’s right. You… … .”
“huh?”
“No, it’s server number 2.”
“Heh, of course- Hey! If you tease me like that, I won’t cooperate?”
When Cordelia pretended to be angry, Uther let out a sigh of relief before continuing.
No, I tried to continue, but Cordelia was a little faster.
“But, Yuder, if the two of us just jumped off, Dahlia and Maia would be really worried. They’d try to follow us somehow. So, I have an idea.”
“… … What is it?”
“therefore…….”
Cordelia pressed her chest against his again and whispered softly, and Uther nodded despite his various pains.
* * *
The rest was history.
Slowly distanced from Dahlia and Maia, at one point Dash and Cordelia jump down the cliff with Uther in their arms.
But right after that.
There was one thing that was different from history –
“I want to have some time for just the two of us! I, I’m a gentleman so it’ll be okay!”
Uther shouted with a red face, Dahlia and Maia looked terribly embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, and Cordelia clenched her fists and cheered inwardly.
‘Yes! This is it! This is it!’
The usual Yuder would not have responded, but the current Yuder was half-enchanted and was in a daze.
That’s why I accepted it without thinking, even though I was being pushed hard both physically and mentally, and ended up with the same result as now.
‘i love it.’
I really really really like it.
Cordelia, who was quite satisfied, grabbed Yuder’s wrist as he writhed in shame and started running.
And about 10 minutes later.
It was about time for the exhausted Uther to ask Cordelia to carry him.
“Cordell… … Leah.”
“Yeah, yeah, you want me to carry you?”
“… … No, that… … not that.”
“then?”
“You… … the fuck… … aren’t you going to do it?”
Uder, drenched in sweat and looking like kimchi, asked in a low voice, and Cordelia flinched for a moment.
It was because I realized that I hadn’t said the word “fuck” even once since I returned(?), not to mention today.
“I didn’t do it, I just made it small so you wouldn’t know.”
“What the… … is an exclamation? You said… small?”
“Yeah, you said shit~~ when you jumped off the cliff earlier?”
Cordelia’s acting skills were outstanding, but was she flustered? Or was it because it had been so long since she had said such an exclamation?
It was a little awkward though.
I’m talking about the tone or facial expression when expressing exclamation.
‘But, but there’s nothing I can do!’
After I became close with Yuder, I refrained from using exclamations because I didn’t want to be seen as a ‘swearing woman’, and after Yuria was born, I completely forbade using exclamations because I was afraid that it would have a negative effect on Yuria.
‘And now that I think about it, it’s a bit embarrassing!’
Should I say that this is truly the dark history of my childhood?
Anyway, Cordelia, who had let out a cough, quickly tried to change the subject.
“Anyway, are you okay? If we want to make it on time, I think it would be better if I carry you… … right?”
Cordelia spoke to Uther, who had already collapsed on the floor, with her face close to his.
Then, instead of stealing glances at Cordelia’s sternum or feeling embarrassed at her approaching face, Uther met Cordelia’s blue eyes with his cold, mysterious green ones.
Yuder’s usual appearance.
The cold eyes of Uther that Cordelia fell in love with.
Uther grabbed Cordelia’s wrist.
He looked straight into Cordelia’s eyes as she flinched and tried to step back, and at some point he opened his mouth to speak.
“Yellow Storm. No, Cordelia Chase.”
Cordelia flinched again at the cold call.
What is Uther trying to say?
Are you trying to question Cordelia, and whether she really is a traitor?
then-
No it wasn’t.
Cordelia had a gut feeling.
That’s not what Yuder was trying to say.
“You are from the future.”
Words that cut to the heart.
Cordelia swallowed dryly at the sight of such a childlike figure.
He nodded.
