153 – Reunion (3)
Outer road of the ecliptic.
-Dagdak, dagdak.
A small carriage that runs through the night.
“Huh, it’s late at night, so I can breathe a little better now.”
“Shh, quiet.”
The man with a finger in his mouth immediately calms the boy down.
A person with black hair and a beautiful face, which is not common in the empire.
The boy is the accent of Kaeran Heath.
The man has an appearance similar to Kaeran Heath, but
Unfortunately, neither of them were Kaeran himself.
The man is Crow Fay’s deputy guild master.
A man called Reikan.
And the boy had a normal look with his navy blue hair and was wearing round glasses.
The eldest son of the Heisman family and the older brother of Nicolsetta, who was killed by the Three-Headed Dog.
It was Macleod Heisman, who “Was” The head of the Assistant Magic Department at Claris Academy.
The two had three things in common.
Firstly, belonging to the same guild Crow Fay.
Secondly, he has not been on the frontlines many times, so his face is relatively unknown.
Thirdly, Crowfei and the Heisman family are now under investigation for joining the demons, so they have become fugitives.
“Uncle. So where are you going?”
“Didn’t I tell you to be quiet?”
“I have nothing to lose anyway, so shouldn’t I know what I need to know to do the last dance?”
“… “
At Macleed’s words, Raykan opened his mouth with a blunt expression.
“… Go to the Sanctuary.”
“If it were the imperial sanctuary, it would be inside the imperial palace, right? Besides, the direction I’m going now… “
“Precisely, it was a sanctuary, a place.”
“… Yes?”
“What do you think should be the first thing the saintess should do after returning?”
“Okay. Party? Like a welcome party?”
“… You don’t even know that the saintess is frugal.”
“I was joking.”
After Psyche, the saint, left her seat, the heart of the sanctuary of the Divine Grand Park at the edge of the ecliptic began to lose its luster.
“It will be completely shut down soon.”
If this condition continues… The ecliptic will not be able to use the infinite magic power source as before.
Thus, in preparation for this, Evenbahu, famous for magic and industry, grew instead.
“So you’re trying to restore the sanctuary for the stability of the people of the Empire as soon as possible?”
“…… “
This time, Macleed got it right, and Reykan remained silent for a moment.
There is no longer one’s own side among humans.
To find a way to live, you must once again join hands with the devil.
“Tomorrow, the saintess will visit this place in person. Our purpose is… “
That’s how the moment he got off his luck.
“Let’s kill the saintess, right?”
Macleed went further and said as if he expected Reykahn’s words.

A bathroom full of steam in warm water.
-Sticking! Click!
The little fox, which had been half submerged in the bathtub in silence, suddenly started struggling, shaking both legs.
“Sorry… ! Sorry… “
Yeriel hurriedly took out the fox, held it to her chest, and stroked his head and neck.
“It was very uncomfortable… sorry. I felt bad… ?”
-Kreu…
The little fox’s feet sweep down the subtle curves of Yeriel.
Perhaps because her skin was as soft as silk, his wet feet kept slipping and tickling the center of her curves, the tip.
– Whoops?
-Sureuk, sureuk.
I tried to position his paws elsewhere, but the baby fox’s short legs only rubbed my chest over and over again…
“Not nice… baby is fine I won’t do anything scary anymore.”
Of course, Yeriel didn’t care or be conscious of this.
Because little foxes are animals.
But maybe you don’t even know Yeriel’s heart,
-Beep!
The guy started to struggle as if embarrassed to be hugged.
“Yeah, I’ll put it down, stay still for a moment. Are you hurt?”
Yeriel lightly covered the fox with a towel and even washed herself.
‘Because the fox is cold… I need to finish it soon… ‘
* * *
“Baby, this is fine… ?”
After hurriedly washing up, Yeriel first wiped the baby fox’s body with a warm wet towel.
– Growl.
As I put it on his lap and wiped every nook and cranny, he let out a pleasant cry as if his mood was relieved.
“Are you a gray-haired child?”
-Kleureung…
As Yeriel smiled and stroked the boy’s soft fur, a man she had forgotten for a moment came to mind.
-Yes, Lev is nice.
-It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal.
When you stroke his hair,
His sharp eyes drew a subtle arc,
– Why don’t you do more?
You sneaked up to me and whispered a prank in my ear.
“Yes… You look alike.”
– Sniff?
Water drops fall from Yeriel’s slightly closed eyes as she gazes at the fox on her lap.
“I miss you.”
.
.
.
– Kreung!
The cry of a fox asking to finish quickly.
Yeriel’s spirit returns to that sound.
“Ah… !”
He became sad again without realizing it.
Now is the time to dry this child’s body.
Yeriel wiped his body one by one with a dry towel.
Even though he was a baby, he even wiped his face with sharp lines, and the fox seemed to be in a good mood and helped Yeriel by lifting his chin.
“Smart baby. Thanks… !”

Just thinking that the bath was over, I suddenly felt tired.
Yeriel changed into pajamas…
– Beans. Bean.
“No. It’s dangerous outside for baby.”
I caught the fox knocking on the window and put it by the head of his bed to see if I wanted to go outside.
And when Yeriel pretends to close his eyes, the fox sneaks up on him and tries to walk to the window.
“Is the baby a naughty boy?”
-Beep!
Looking at the confused guy’s dark eyes, Yeriel laughed.
“My dear. There is me I had something to tell the saintess, but I couldn’t.”
-Kerung…
“Will you tell me instead of me… ?”
Why did he just awaken as a devil, no, a fallen angel?
This time, she was lucky enough to defeat the Archdemon with her feelings for Lev and return thanks to Arya, but if this happens again…
She might hurt her loved ones.
“What happened to my body… did it happen?”
I’m afraid.
So I’ll have to tell the saintess as soon as possible and find a solution.
“I’m a little scared… “
Even if the solution is to be killed, surely.
‘But I, I don’t want to forget Lev… ‘
If you think about forgetting Lev, it’s scary as if you’re trapped in darkness.
-Keo…
I wonder if the baby fox noticed the change in Yeriel’s emotions,
She turned her steps toward the window and began to press her cheeks.
“Huh…?”
Even in the middle of this, Yeriel thought it was so cute,
“Baby… Irion.”
I hugged the guy who was hesitantly approaching.
– Pounding.
The warm body of the guy conveys her warmth as if comforting Yeriel.
“I feel relieved to be with you… “
-Kreung…
“Aren’t you afraid of me now?”
– Whoops!
Are you really listening?
Or, does she look so pitiful for herself, so she comforts her?
It didn’t matter.
Yeriel closed her eyes and hugged the baby fox.
She
Poured out her words that were inside her.
“Thank you… By the way, I pretended to be very strong, but I don’t think I was. It’s funny even to you… ?”
-Areung?
The guy let out a cry with an accent that sounded like denial.
“Edwin and Selena are trying to overcome somehow… Rev. She even asked me to take care of Aria… “
“I’d rather get help from Aria… Will I be able to do well in the future… ?”
Worry is a negative emotion, so once you start thinking about it, it bites its tail.
Thinking about Lev makes her sad,
I feel sorry for her thinking about Arya, who had to end Rev with her own hands.
Also, when she thinks about herself that Arya saved, it gets hard to get her way.
When she thinks of the demons that will come to her confused self, she gets scared on the other hand.
“Lev, what would you do if you were Lev… ?”
– Keo.
The only thing that comes back to Yeriel’s question is the cry of a fox.
“Sorry… “
Coming to think of it, I don’t want to burden him any more.
“Then at least once… Even if it’s just one goodbye… If you can… “
Even at the expense of her own life span, at any cost,
If I could say just one short word to him…
“It’s really, really good… “
Yeriel seemed capable of moving forward.
‘I decided not to cry anymore… ‘
As expected, I plan to spend the night in tears again today.
“Without me Lev… I must be really stupid… “
.
.
.
-……
Not luxurious, but neatly organized private rooms.
A pleasant autumn night with a cool breeze blowing.
-……
Not even the cries of the little foxes could be heard anymore.
“Mi, I’m sorry Lev… , but I’m crazy about you… What I want to see… “
So, with his head bowed, Yeriel sobbed for a long time.
.
.
.
– Pounding.
How much time has passed like that, she hasn’t been able to sleep properly due to her insomnia, and Yeriel, who is half asleep and hazy…
She felt the texture of the object she was holding slightly different.
“Baby…?”
Where does the soft hair go, the texture of the smooth skin, and the hard thing that stretches straight into the hard muscles is palpable.
-Sue… Swoop.
Probably, what she is holding is a person’s back, and about the spine between the curves of the back.
In general, most people would scream at this creepy situation, but…
“…… “
Yeriel didn’t have to.
– Pounding.
First of all, with my sense of smell, I felt the body odor of a familiar man mixed with lavender bath powder from before.
– Pounding.
Because a certain sound, like the beating of a heart, was transmitted to oneself, reassuring this space.
“Ah…… “
Above all, there was intuition.
A woman’s vague intuition about a man.
Yeriel cautiously opened her eyes and slowly raised her head.
Then she said there was…
“Hello, Yeriel.”
It was a dream.
No, the man who didn’t come out even in my dreams…
I was facing Yeriel.
