“Are you up?”
The first to react was Estelle. Following her words, Delina also looked up. There stood Vansent.
“Vansent!”
Delina warmly smiled with delight. As Estelle mentioned, Vansent, seemingly just awake, squinted his drowsy eyes and looked down at Delina.
“What’s up, Vansent? Where are you going? Why are you all dressed up like that at home? Did you even style your hair?”
“I’m fixing this.”
Ignoring Estelle’s sunny questions, Vansent casually picked up his gun. Yawning, he quickly inspected the gun with his eyes, while mentioning, “There are some worn-out parts. Just need to replace the components.”
“Oh, really?”
“I’ll fix it now.”
With that, Vansent took the gun and promptly left the room. Estelle gestured for Delina to follow him, and Delina bowed to Estelle before following Vansent.
“Were you sleeping?”
“I stayed up all night on the carriage and arrived this morning.”
“You didn’t sleep because you were thinking about some experiment you want to do again, right?”
“Yeah.”
‘Anyway…’
Vansent was more passionate about experiments and inventions than anyone else. Shortly after arriving in the room, Vansent opened the door. As they entered the vast room, various experimental items were piled up.
“…The size of the lab seems to be getting bigger.”
“Since I have more time to experiment at home. I’ve also organized the academy.”
“Oh, I heard from Lady Hujak. Rumor has it that the professors at the academy were going crazy trying to catch you?”
When Vansent went to the academy to go through the professorial process, the professors, who used to ignore him, had gone mad. But now, they were eager to keep Vansent at the academy.
As the youngest professor at the academy and having absorbed all the books in the academy library, practically all the academy’s data was in Vansent’s head.
“They stuck to me so much that I threw a few experiments at them and left.”
“Do the professors really step back that easily?”
“They are giving it willingly. Who would stop them?”
Indeed.
As the direct successor of the Elpisha Viscount, Vansent couldn’t be openly stopped. As if to inform the desperate hearts of the frustrated professors, letters were piled up on the desk.
“Are all these letters sent by the academy professors?”
“Yeah, but they’re all engagement proposals.”
“Really?”
“Since they can’t stop me openly, they are probably trying to get involved with their daughters.”
Although not as numerous as Vansent, Delina’s eyes widened at the substantial amount of letters. While a few came to her, it was very different. Looking at the letters Vansent received, it seemed like he could build a tower.
“Indeed, he’s quite impressive, unlike me. To think he’s already at this level.”
At her words, Vansent’s hand, which was releasing the gun, stopped abruptly. In the momentary silence, Delina took her eyes off the letters and looked at Vansent. Vansent was staring at Delina silently.
“Why?”
“You got engagement proposals too?”
“Yeah, I received a few.”
“From where?”
“I got them from the Viscount’s house, and also from the Marquis’s house… They are all second or third sons I’ve only seen a few times, so I don’t really know them.”
“Only from there?”
“Yeah.”
“I see.”
Upon hearing that, Vansent focused on repairing the gun again. While watching Vansent repairing the gun for a moment, Delina turned her head and noticed small targets floating in the air.
“What’s that? Is it something new you made?”
“Air targets. But they have additional functions.”
As Vansent pulled something like a handle, the large and small targets hanging in the air began to move in various directions. Vansent approached Delina, handing her the repaired gun.
“In real combat, targets move, right?”
“…Yeah, that’s true.”
Delina, who had been staring at the targets as if they were something miraculous, properly gripped the gun. Targeting the largest one, Delina showed no hesitation.
The targets hanging in the air were now swinging loosely, with holes accurately pierced right in the center. Vansent’s eyebrows subtly rose as if to say it was impressive. However, Delina, who hit the targets, was focused on something else.
“Hey, what’s this? It makes almost no sound?”
Wearing earplugs due to the piercing gunshots being a daily occurrence, the gun repaired by Vansent was much quieter than before.
“Yeah, I added a device to make it silent.”
“…”
“The weight is a bit heavier than before, but it’s good for quietly taking down someone.”
“I’ve never really thought about assassination, but… is this really good?”
Delina’s eyes sparkled. In the meantime, Vansent stopped the targets.
“When I saw it last time, your skill has improved.”
“Of course. I’ve been practicing a lot.”
Even during his time at the academy, Vansent’s experimental spirit remained unchanged. Whenever he came to the viscount’s house, he would call Delina and have her practice shooting. Thanks to that, Delina had to practice desperately.
“It was the first time with moving targets, but it wasn’t bad, right?”
“Yeah, the result was decent for the first time.”

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
