186. While He Was Sleeping (2)
As the sun slowly descended, dark shadows began to fall in the room.
Stella, who was looking down at Deius, who hadn’t woken up yet, notices the two little boys sneaking into the room hiding in the dark.
“Professor Erica was right. You are sleeping.”
“I told you not to come, but you who keep coming back are also really amazing.”
“I followed that map.”
“I, I came here because I thought you would do something strange to Deius.”
Aria and Eleanor.
The two female students quietly come to Deus’s bed and start talking about this and that.
“But I’m a bit nervous when I come.”
“I want to do some sketching.”
Eleanor took out a notebook that fit in one hand and began to lightly draw Deius’ sleeping face with a pen.
“As expected, I have to draw with my own eyes rather than drawing with my imagination.”
“Is it because you always support me? They don’t know that a child is an opportunity.”
Aria then lifts Deus’ blanket and tries to lie down next to him.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing!”
“Do you think opportunities like this will be common? Watching the professor sleep from the side?”
With her blanket lifted up, Aria is so confident that she starts persuading her.
“The professor I know never sleeps defenselessly like this. This is your chance.”
“… ….”
“I heard that only professors who are tired of catching four great devils will have this opportunity.”
Although she was practically forced, Eleanor is being persuaded. No, she wanted to be persuaded.
Mana extending from Eleanor’s hand as she slowly put her notebook into her hand draws her magic.
As she is, she puts her magic on her own body and on her aria’s body.
It was a secret type of magic that blocked not only the breathing of the two, but also the faint sound of movement.
“If we do this, Deus will not hear us.”
“As expected, princess. Because you are competent in many ways.”
Arya said she was excited and immediately lay down on Deius’ right side, while Eleanor hesitated but quickly lay down on her left side.
[They are bold children.]
Stella expresses an absurd reaction.
They turned to each other and looked at Deius, but unfortunately they met eyes with the other person beyond Deius who was asleep.
“Ah, it just throws away my mood.”
“Can’t you look away?”
At the same time, they secretly informed each other that they were not going to back down from clinging to Deius.
The two finally gave up and decided to enjoy this time.
“Professor is warm.”
“Sure.”
The girls didn’t say anything for a while. It felt like falling asleep after being so still, so Arya looked at Eleanor blankly and asked.
“But why did you come to like the professor?”
“I hate to tell you.”
Not wanting to share her memories of Dayus and herself with others, Eleanor pouted, but Arya shrugged her shoulders.
“Professor accepted the heaviest burden I was carrying.”
“… ….”
Eleanor looked at her dumbfounded because she didn’t know Arya would say this.
“I wondered if the past I had gone through was unnecessary, but he denied it.”
“… ….”
“You made it possible for me to say goodbye to my old friends and first love, and to continue meeting new people.”
It was embarrassing, but Eleanor was well aware of Arya’s feelings that lingered in every word.
She was indeed identical to her own feelings for Deius.
“I would do anything for you.”
A calm but firm declaration.
Hearing that, Eleanor felt something choking in her own chest, and she felt it heat up.
Out of her mouth, she also pours out her emotions.
“Deus saved me from a long nightmare.”
“Nightmare?”
“Yeah, but actually. She let me know it wasn’t a nightmare. The country found the person, understood it, and did not deny it.”
“… ….”
“I still vividly remember the day Deius found me. Looking at the cool and brilliant moonlight, it made me feel that I am alive in reality, not in a dream.”
“… ….”
“Honestly, I brought anything. Even if you look like this, you are the princess of a country.”
She has had a rough childhood, but Eleanor has lived a full life except for the nightmares she has.
“That’s why I also want to have a Deus. I want to make it mine.”
It could also be seen that her drawing of Deius was also a channel for discharging her unique possessive desire.
“But I value Deus more than my greed.”
“… ….”
Deus’s collar was rolled up in his tightly clenched fist. It’s like you’ll never miss it.
“So, I can do anything for Deus.”
The two men’s declaration was firm.
The girls faced each other with steady eyes and slowly reached out their hands toward each other.
On top of Deius, who was soundly asleep and breathing lightly.
Two small but special girls cross their little fingers.
“I won’t let something like this happen again when you lost your right hand.”
“We are protecting Deius.”
The two burst into laughter at the same time, trusting that they would be each other’s rivals and colleagues.
Did he feel tired, or was he relieved to be by Deus’ side?
The two slowly closed their eyes.
Looking down at the two sleeping before they knew it, Stella brushed Deus’ hair with a wry smile.
[You are a sinful man.]
Before Dayus woke up, he was Stella who thought he should wake up the two of them.
Knocked up.
“Owner!”
A madman breaking the silence.
Deius did not wake up even at Findeneye’s cry. It was thanks to Stella quickly blocking her noise with mana.
“Ugh?!”
“Chewup!”
But the two people lying next to each other didn’t. The two of them, awake in bewilderment, raise their bodies at the same time and look at Finden Eye.
Finden Ai also sees the two girls lying on Deus’ bed together, crosses her arms and rests on her other leg.
“How are you? Are you crazy?”
“Kuh, kuh hmm. Professor, be quiet.”
“Yes, Deius is tired.”
“The owner will be happy if he finds out you guys did that.”
The two, unable to answer the sarcastic Finden Ai, eventually decided to be shameless.
“If the professor doesn’t know, that’s fine!”
“Can’t you see that Deius is sleeping better thanks to us?”
“Ehh, doesn’t the owner know what you guys did?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Finden-I stealthily looked around the room.
“Dark spirits and even former saints are clinging to you, so you guys should tell me what stupid things you did in your sleep?”
“Ah… ….”
“Oops.”
Aria and Eleanor look around in contemplation. The Dark Spirit was out and only Stella was there, but of course they couldn’t see them.
[Don’t worry, I’ll keep the secret.]
Since she was Stella who didn’t bother to talk about the small promises of the two girls, she wouldn’t listen, but she told me to be at ease.
“So, what are you going to do! As a ghost! Doing nothing!”
“Don’t get caught up in the affairs of living people!”
[…] ….]
The two shouted into the air and ran away as if they were running away.
It was Stella who hated the two of them a little bit, but he had no intention of revealing the secret.
Clap.
Findenai was established thanks to the two people who ran away. She sees Deius lying down, and she strides forward as she is.
“Anyway, they are little kids. Even if there is a dark priest or a saint around me, what do I know?”
Unlike the two who ran away in shame, Finden Ai bows her head to Deus without hesitation.
Stella looked down at that action without hesitation.
f*ck!
As it were, he struck Finden Eye in the back of the head.
“Oops!”
Because her head was lowered, the Finden Ai, who had almost slammed her face into Deus’ chest, suddenly raised her head.
“Are you a dark wizard?”
[…] ….]
“If you are dead, you are not involved in the affairs of the living.”
[…] ….]
“Just watching me and the owner biting and sucking…….”
f*ck!
At the back of her head that had been slapped again, Finden Ai clenched her fists while grinding his teeth.
“Are you going to do this? Really? Are you seriously going to make me attack you?”
[…] ….]
“If you stay still from now on, I’ll just kiss you and be done with it. I have a cause of my own for the sake of my fellow countrymen, right?”
[Whoa.]
I didn’t mean to do this.
Wood deuk.
Stella’s forehead sprouts her horns.
While still giving Dayus her lap pillow, Velika stretched out her hands wide.
[Stella is jealous, everything is special!]
It was about to start such an insignificant desperate struggle.
“Off.”
Turning over and looking at Dayus, who seemed to be getting up, Finden Ai clicked her tongue and ran out of the room.
Belika’s horn disappeared again and Stella took her place.
Stellar asked Deius, who slowly opened his eyes, with a very natural and brazen smile, but also with a strangely proud smile.
[Are you awake?]
* * *
Kikik.
The door opens.
A woman with an exhausted face cautiously enters the store.
How long has this kind of shop existed?
She hadn’t known that there was a door leading to a store like this in the alley behind her house, even though she’d been living in Lovern for years.
But why?
She knows what she sells in this store and what she pays for since she stepped in.
It’s so dark inside that you wonder if the lights are on.
An empty newsstand with nothing on display.
At the end of it, on an old table that looked like a counter, a man wearing white gloves was waiting for her lady.
“Hello.”
When a woman who entered as her guest carefully bowed her head to greet her, the hostess greeted her by waving her hand.
Mistress?
From noble mtl dot com.
Wasn’t that just a man?
“Please sit down.”
At the sound of an old man’s voice resounding from the other side, as if scratching iron, the woman sits on the chair in front of her table as if possessed by something about her.
Accepting her eccentricity naturally, she was confident.
“Is there anything you want?”
This time the girl’s voice asked lightly. Before I knew it, the darkness on the other side of the table was thick like a blackout curtain, so I couldn’t see it well.
She didn’t want to know what was over there that had so many voices.
It wasn’t that I was afraid.
Rather, she felt a warm familiarity, but she was not even curious.
I know that after entering this store, countless unreal things are unfolding before my eyes.
I just thought it was unrealistic, but I didn’t feel anything.
There was no emotional agitation.
So the woman puts her hands together and carefully opens her mouth.
“I want to live with my true love.”
Aha.
A mischievous girl’s voice came from beyond the darkness.
She, on the contrary, puts out her fair hand, which can be called a seomseom jade, in the dark with her white glove.
Each of her hands held different objects.
One was a doll in the shape of an adult male.
The other was a doll of a small girl.
“What will you pay for?”
The voice on the other side of her remained unchanged and that of a girl.
From that voice of hers, she felt the woman she was familiar with, but she didn’t think it was strange.
After a moment of hesitation, she touches the girl’s doll.
“As a child.”
“Aha.”
At that moment, she is a girl who shows her face in the dark.
A little exasperated-looking girl with freckles in her bobbed hair, with her red headband, asked the woman frowning.
“Mom, are you selling me?”
Gulp.
That’s right.
Why couldn’t she recognize her daughter’s voice?
The woman heard the question briefly, but she didn’t care and nodded her head.
“Yes.”
Suuk!
The face of the girl who went into darkness again.
Then, in the darkness, she heard a voice that she assumed belonged to the man she had seen when she first entered.
“The transaction is complete.”
“… ….”
“Thank you for using the Claire General Store.”
That was the end.
I’ve never gotten up from a chair or gone out.
The woman was standing in the alley outside the store before she knew it.
The old door of the general store was gone.
Stella for the winnnnnn KEKEKEKEKE
Poor Dark Master got blamed 🤣🤣
