190 – Omen (2)
Toduk, tok.
From the gloomy sky full of dark clouds, small transparent water droplets fall to the ground one by one.
“Yes… … .”
While enjoying the sound of rain in the calm silence, Claire in her arms digs into her arms a little more with a small drool.
There is no place to dig in anymore, but if you keep watching the act of sticking your cheek and nose, you feel the corners of your mouth rise little by little.
Swoop.
As she brushed up her blonde hair, which was rather bright because it was blurry, the red marks hidden in it were clearly revealed.
The traces I engraved on the pure white drawing paper.
‘… It’s too much.’
This feeling I’m feeling right now.
everything given to me
“yes… … .”
When I touch my cheek with the hand that was brushing my hair, she smiles lightly and rubs her cheek with my hand like a child.
‘Is it greed?’
I thought it would be enough if only one existence could be happy, but now the number has increased a little.
‘It’s not a positive change.’
But it was not an unattainable desire.
“Um… … ?”
The long eyelashes slowly go up, and the hidden blue eyes slowly reveal themselves.
“Sleep a little longer.”
“… … yes.”
When I stroked her head again with the hand that had been stroking her cheek, Claire’s eyelids, which had been floating in my mind for a moment, slowly turned downward, and soon after, the sound of even breathing flowed out again.
Defenselessness in which the slightest vigilance cannot be found.
I listened to the sound of rain hitting the window, keeping my eyes on the face that only I could see.
I hope my heart doesn’t get dull.

“I have an appointment with Jaden, so let’s have lunch first.”
“I will.”
Claire answered as she walked beside Baek Woo-jin as he headed towards the front door.
“Don’t go.”
“Ah, that, this… … .”
I handed him the black umbrella I had just prepared.
“yes.”
“… … .”
His face blushes slightly at the corner of his mouth that rises very faintly.
Even though I knew I didn’t need an umbrella, I prepared it to satisfy myself.
“Come on… … .”
“yes.”
She opened the umbrella she had handed over and saw him off as he left the front door until the front door was completely closed.
“Sigh… … .”
As soon as he disappears, thump! thud! He put his hand on his left chest and let out a hot breath.
A black shirt and a simple black suit.
It was the same as usual, wearing a coat that has now become a symbol.
He must have gotten used to it a bit now, but today, when he was seeing him off, his heart beat especially violently, and he felt very uncomfortable from the morning.
“… Let’s start with tidying up.”
The beat of her still pounding heart was bothering her nerves, but since she couldn’t put off doing housework, she moved her steps little by little.
First, the tea cups and bowls on the table.
Next, I went into Baek Ha-na’s room, wiped off the dust, and remade the bedding.
Finally, I passed through the study and opened the door to the bedroom.
Whoo Woo-wook–
I hadn’t noticed it at all when I had just woken up, but as I wandered through the rest of the house and went back into the bedroom, I noticed that there was a strong smell that reminded me of the night before.
I took a deep breath and removed the duvet and the sheets from the bed. I thought about taking a pillow with me for a while, but soon left the bedroom with only the things I had in my hands.
“Mmm.”
After finishing all the housework by running the washing machine, Claire quietly returned to the bedroom and sat down on the bed.
Toduk, tok.
After a moment of silence, she slowly lay down on the bed and looked out the window at the sound of rain coming from behind.
The one who had to travel by plane once in a day if it was short, or once in 15 days if it was as long as possible.
Even if you don’t borrow the power of a magic tool, you prioritize housework that can be completed in an hour, and after finishing it, you are spending your time like a lazy person with nothing to do.
‘… Is it okay to live a life like this?’
Not free.
The time waiting for that person to come back was still full of excitement, so it wasn’t boring at all.
However, is it because I have been busy for a long time?
To this day, this composure is seldom accustomed to.
“Lunch alone… … .”

Remembering Baek Woo-jin’s words before leaving, Claire crouched down holding Baek Woo-jin’s pillow in her arms.
His body odor permeates the body slowly through breathing.
Claire.
Pleasant low-pitched voice.
A large, warm hand wrapped around her waist.
The moment she was about to bury her face in the pillow that Claire gently embraced, the deep affection she felt last night.
-Beep beep~
– Huhu, do I have to properly shake off the water before entering?
The familiar voices of the two could be heard through the slightly open door, and Claire quickly got up and got off the bed. Then, quickly checking her attire, she passed through the study and came out into the hallway.
– Claire!!
“Oh, didn’t you say you were going to the lecture today?”
“… what. It’s like a schedule, something that can change at any time.”
Answering Lee Ye-sol’s question as naturally as possible, Claire offered her palm for the fairy flying towards her.
“Did you make it yourself?”
“It was made with great care.”
A fairy wearing a light green raincoat that went very well with her hair color climbed onto the palm of her hand and smiled.
– Chambang Chambang!! Do not soak this in water!!
“okay.”
A fairy running around wearing small boots with frog stickers on them.
However, Claire couldn’t help but laugh once again at her wet hair.
It is because the image of flying around with sparkling eyes in the falling raindrops was drawn even though he did not see it.
“I must wash.”
– Pia!!
Soaking yourself in warm water was also something the fairy liked, so the little fairy smiled at Claire’s words and flew to the bathroom on her own.
“Whoop whoop~”
“… What. That blasphemous laugh.”
As Claire headed to the bathroom together, her brow slightly wrinkled at the low-level’s demeanor with an eerie grin. However, despite such a threat from a superior, Lee Ye-sol opened her mouth with her signature smirk.
“Because the professor seems to have a strong desire for exclusivity.”
“what… … .”
Claire, who was about to say that she was talking nonsense, shut her mouth. It was only a moment later that he realized that Lee Ye-sol’s eyes were on his neck and shoulders, which were clearly visible.
The power of healing could erase any number of marks, but it did not.
because he didn’t want to
And I didn’t want to show it to others, so I stayed in the mansion today.
“… It’s not like that.”
“Um~? What do you mean?”
“… … .”
At the mischievous question of the subordinate, Claire glared at her for a moment, then ran into the bathroom as if to run away.
“Huh, let’s go in together~”
At an opportunity that rarely comes, Lee Ye-sol chased after her to tease Claire with her eyes shining.

-Pu-wook… … .
The fairy sprawled on the table, eating the chocolate until her little belly was convex.
Lee Ye-sol, who was watching the scene, cautiously opened her mouth.
“The missing person reported five days ago.”
“Did you grab the tail?”
“Sorry, I couldn’t catch the tail.”
“… … .”
Claire’s eyes narrow at Lee Ye-sol’s answer.
“I would have sent a knight.”

Queen.
Bishop.

Rook.
Knight.
As a name for the Holy Knights to thoroughly hunt down the wanted and the followers of evil spirits, the Knights were the best in tracking skills of the Holy Knights.
“There has been a report that it is presumed that the operator who disposed of the remnants of Quick Dust was also disposed of.”
“Let’s unite with other temples and continue the investigation.”
“Yes. I will tell you that. And around 2:00 a.m. today in Korean standards, a large number of white bones presumably belonging to children were found in Los Angeles, USA, and Tosca, Italy.”
“Is it human sacrifice?”
“For now, the weight is leaning in that direction.”
Massive white bones, heart extraction.
What can be guessed from the clues revealed was the extent of human sacrifice.
“The heads of governments and associations have expressed their desire to resolve this case secretly out of concern about the pandemic.”
“Ha, you’re looking at me with a nonsensical attitude.”
For the first time, Claire showed blatant displeasure.
“The Executor is alive and well, and the professor’s inaction has been revealed, so he probably doesn’t dare to go against our intentions.”
That way, when a disaster that is difficult for one’s own country to handle befalls, they will be able to look for help with even a little less attention.
“Tell them you won’t get involved.”
“I will.”
I pretended to respect the will of this side, but I must have hidden the intention of turning the damage of the incident that could happen later to this side.
“Other specialties.”
“I have one thing for you.”
Claire, who had carefully stretched out her hand toward the sleeping fairy, paused for a moment.
“Due to the recent disappearances and other rising crime rates, it was suggested that we move up the schedule of the Clergy Assembly.”
“It would be better to ask the person present.”
“… God Vuir ordered the executor to attend this meeting.”
Lee Ye-sol and Claire’s faces hardened at the same time.
The reason was that Claire hadn’t heard anything, and Lee Ye-sol, of course, thought it was a matter that she, as a senior, had also been told, but the reason was that she found out it wasn’t.
“… Tell me you agree.”
“Yes… … And… .”
“Whoa.”
At the short breath of the senior, Lee Ye-sol continued with an awkward smile.
“… The host country for this conference has been changed to Korea.”
“… … Who do you like?”
At the cold tone that chilled her spine, Lee Ye-sol unknowingly avoided her superior’s gaze and pursed her lips.
“The great ones… … .”
“under.”
The ferocious eyes that seemed to commit disrespect right away and the deep valley between the eyebrows.
Whether or not to order a new model, Lee Ye-sol had to seriously consider.
