186 – Rest (10)
Three weeks have already passed since we arrived in the capital.
After living a peaceful daily life, I was able to find some time to relax.
It is true that the days were so boring.
Daily life, which was normal in the previous world, now felt unfamiliar.
I was slowly getting used to life in this world.
‘It’s a shame I can’t play computer games.’
It’s not that I don’t have regrets about the past world, but it’s already too late to look back.
There was no meaning anymore unless I went back with everyone.
Now I had half given up.
Of course, I still had the desire to go back.
“Ugh…”
When I saw Erina sleeping soundly in my arms, I couldn’t help it.
Too much has already happened to go back.
There were people around me that I had to take care of.
“Master. “Are you awake?”
Kayla must have been up even before I woke up and said good morning to me.
I thought you slept in separate rooms yesterday.
When did he come to my room and share a bed with me?
However, since this was not the first time this had happened, I decided to just ignore it.
Kayla also yawned softly with a wet face, probably because she was still tired.
As the sun slowly rises, morning has not yet arrived.
I thought it would be okay to sleep a little more.
But she was getting out of bed and changing her clothes.
“Kayla. Are not you tired?”
“It’s okay. “I will train again today.”
Kayla diligently trains every day.
Even recently, morning and evening. I was training twice.
“What about Celica and Tyria?”
“Everyone was busy in the morning, so we decided to join in the evening.”
Celica will be busy taking care of the children in the morning, but Tyria will be fine.
She knew she was a sleepyhead, so she did it.
“But it would be okay to practice at the mansion now.”
“Ah… “I got used to it because it’s a place where I train all the time…”
For some reason, she was embarrassed and her eyes were shaking.
It was a similar behavior to when telling a lie.
Is there something you are trying to hide from me?
I was worried because I seemed to have a little lack of energy recently.
Still, there must be a reason to hide it from me. I pretended not to know her and saw her off.
“Be careful. “Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Yes. “I’ll be back soon.”
After Kayla quietly left her room.
She fell into the quiet silence in the room.
The sound of birds chirping and the wind shaking the leaves can be heard beyond the window.
And all I could hear was Erina’s breathing as she was held in my arms.
“…”
Unlike usual, her mouth was tightly shut and her eyes were closed.
I could tell that she had woken up.
Did it happen while I was talking to Kayla?
But she was pretending to sleep in my arms.
“Erina. Are you sleeping?”
“…”
She did not respond this time, but kept her mouth shut.
I don’t know why, but the sight of her quietly holding her breath was cute in its own way.
Is it because she is always bothered by her? She felt like teasing her a little.
When I stroked their hair, their cheeks turned bright red.
No matter how much I lied, I couldn’t even hide my complexion.
Likewise, when I put my hand to my ear, I could feel a slight tremor.
When I cupped the cheek, my lips opened slightly along with the heat.
“…”
Even in this situation, he was pretending to sleep, but he was looking at me with his eyes slightly open.
It was like a child playing hide and seek with his eyes covered.
Finally, brush her hair across her forehead and take her lips to yours.
“Ugh…”
I took a deep breath and my neck went down.
My face has been bright red for a long time.
Then, he lifted her face slightly and stuck out his lips.
“Erina. “Stop getting up.”
“Ugh…”
Erina keeps her eyes closed until the end even when her cheeks are gently pulled.
She opened her eyes only after she reached out her lips and received a morning kiss.
“Erina why did she pretend to sleep?”
Instead of answering, Erina held onto her waist and did not let go.
Even though she tried to push her away and raise her body, he stubbornly held on to her.
“It can’t stay like this just a little longer…” ?”
The sincerity conveyed in a small voice.
Now that I think about it, the time I spend alone with Erina has decreased recently.
Although they hung out together every day, they didn’t actually spend much time together.
Was I secretly disappointed about that?
Erina wanted to spend a little more time like this.
“Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
“Yes…”
It is still a little early before morning comes.
She decided to spend a little more time with her.
As I lay down comfortably, Erina placed her head on my chest.
So I ended up sleeping later than usual.

“Tyria. “Aren’t you sleeping too late?”
When the sun rose in the sky, no one woke up.
Celica, who was worse off, opened Tyria’s door and lowered the blanket.
Tyria curled up like a caterpillar, hugging her pillow.
Celica sighed and patted her back.
“Ugh…”
“Now wake up. “It’s already time for lunch.”
Even though she tried to force herself to get up, Tyria wouldn’t get up from her bed.
Celica, who usually had a hard time waking up her children, seemed to be fed up with her.
But Tyria could not come to her senses.
Not only was the problem because she was naturally a sleepy person, but she also spent time spying on Seohyun’s room last night.
And while Seohyun was sleeping, I was able to witness Erina and Kayla fighting.
‘Go away…’ !’
‘Please lower your voice. ‘Do you want to wake up your master?’
As long as he didn’t wake up, the two continued to fight.
Meanwhile, Tyria was able to watch from her window, holding her breath.
Because of that, she almost got discovered by the guards on night patrol.
Fortunately, she was able to safely hide in her room and spend the night safely.
After spending the early morning like that, it was natural to oversleep.
At Celica’s urging, Tyria barely woke up and stood up.
“Just five minutes…”
“Lunch is almost ready. “Get ready quickly and come down.”
“You don’t have to eat it…”
“Okay. Quickly. “The kids worked hard to prepare.”
At those words, Tyria also got off the bed and started changing her clothes.
After finally seeing her get up from her bed, Celica closed her door and headed to the next room.
Right next to Tyria’s room. Celica knocked on the door of the largest room in her mansion.
“Seohyun. Is it okay if I come in?”
Normally, I would have heard the answer right away. As of today, there was no reaction and it was just quiet.
Just in case, Celica opened the door slightly and was about to look inside.
“Ugh… !”
She appeared with her white hair and was startled by Erina’s appearance.
She felt chills as she looked directly into her burning red eyes.
She had an instinctive fear etched into her body that she might harm herself.
Celica pretended not to be embarrassed as much as possible and spoke calmly.
“Ah, Erina…? By any chance, Seohyun… “
“It will happen soon, just wait.”
Erina pushed Celica away and closed her door.
Celica calmed her startled mind and walked away from her room.
“Haa…”
Several months had passed since she had been with Erina, but Celica still could not understand her.
A force capable of fighting the devil’s army alone and even fighting the four great blades.
On the contrary, he is extremely dependent and obsessed with Seohyun.
Not only is he wary of other colleagues and fighting, but he also causes trouble.
For some reason, I couldn’t predict what thoughts she would have and how she would act.
‘What on earth is your relationship with Seohyun?’
If you saw them on a regular basis, you would definitely think they were lovers.
According to Kayla, not even that.
What on earth happened to create this relationship between Seohyun and Erina?
But Celica couldn’t possibly ask.
In the first place, Kayla was hiding something of herself from her. Her
Her companion, Tyria, knew no more than she did.
“But because Seohyun is there. It will be fine…”
I briefly suspected that Seohyun might be exploiting Erina’s weakness.
For that to be the case, Erina loved Seohyun too much and was obsessed with her.
However, if I find out more and end up offending Erina.
‘I’m scared…’
I never had the courage to face her face to face.
Even just by looking at his eyes, I felt a sense of fear.
If I were to face her head on, she might collapse right away.
“Yes, I have to repay my debt…”
Celica knew her situation well.
Even now, thanks to the grace of Seohyun and her colleagues, isn’t she able to live a comfortable daily life with her children?
If you carelessly delve into secrets and get out of Seohyun’s eyes.
I could have been kicked out of the mansion right away with the children.
Of course, there was no way Seohyun, who had a kind heart, would do something like that.
Celica made up her mind to be careful not to overstep her topic.
Celica finally got her mind together and decided to go back down to the first floor.
She checked Tyria’s room again just in case.
“Ah…”
Then, I could see Tyria falling asleep on her bed.
After she woke up, it took thirty minutes for her to be dragged out of her room.
Let’s finally get Tyria to sit down at the table.
At that moment, Seohyun and Erina were coming down the stairs together.
“Ah. Seohyun. Good morning!”
“I’m sorry. “I overslept a little late today.”
“No. “Lunch is ready, so eat it quickly!”
Seohyun waves Serika’s hand as she smiles brightly and greets her.
Then the children began to follow Serika in greeting.
Seohyun then greeted each and every one of them and expressed her gratitude to them.
At first, I thought it was awkward with the kids.
As time passed, everyone was comfortable with Seohyun.
“Today, I specially prepared two fried eggs!”
“Thank you. Sophia. “Everyone worked hard.”
Celica was relieved to see that the children were following Seohyun well.
She was worried that Seohyun might be uncomfortable or that her children might cause trouble.
Contrary to Celica’s concerns, she was doing very well.
How great it would be if peaceful days continued like this.

But there was still so much work left to do.
‘The devil…’
Can we really defeat the devil?
Until a few months ago, she was taking care of her children at the monastery in Helen Village, but suddenly she was dealing with the devil.
But while she faced and fought the Demon Lord’s army directly, Celica was able to realize her own power.
That’s why Celica swore in her heart.
I decided to follow Seohyun no matter what, and to definitely treat his injuries.
While I was busily preparing lunch as usual.
The door to her mansion opened and Kayla returned after finishing her training.
“Kayla! “You’re a little late today.”
“Ah, yes…”
For some reason, Kayla was greeted with a very nervous expression.
Careful movement, as if hiding something.
Despite her doubts, Celica prepared a place for her.
“Lunch is ready just now. “I will prepare it right away.”
“…I’ll stop by my room for a moment and then come down.”
Kayla caught a glimpse of her and quickly left her place and went upstairs.
There is a sense of urgency.
Although others may not know, Celica, who is quick-witted, was able to sense her discomfort.
‘Why are you suddenly like that…?’
Did something happen outside?
But Kayla quietly returned to her seat and started eating as if nothing had happened.
And Serika wasn’t the only one who noticed her strangeness.
“Kayla. “Isn’t there something going on?”
Then Kayla was startled and dropped the spoon she was holding.
“Oh, nothing happened.”
“Really? “If you have any concerns, I will listen.”
“…Yes. Thank you.”
While Kayla panicked and looked for the spoon that had fallen on her floor.
Tyria, who was next to her, picked up a spoon and handed it to her table.
“Thank you…”
“No. Haam…”
Tyria keeps yawning while eating lunch.
I had a feeling that I would just sleep all day today.
Kayla brought a new spoon and continued her meal.
After that, her lunch went by uneventfully.
After lunch time, everyone was spending their time leisurely.
Seohyun came out to the garden of the mansion to warm up for exercise.
She tried to spend the day exercising as usual.
“Hey! If you’re inside, come out!”
A lively voice echoes beyond the brick walls of the mansion.
At the same time, I heard the commotion of a scuffle with the guards and was able to immediately recognize who the customer was.
