122 – Do you really want to play?
“So, to sum up what you said…”
After hearing my excuse, Duran narrowed his already narrow eyes even further and glared at me.
“Are you saying your hands can help relieve my sister’s headache? “The reason your sister asked you to hold her hand a little while ago was because she was having a hard time because she used a lot of divine power today?”
“Uh.”
“Are you seriously asking me to believe that nonsense?”
“···It’s true. I don’t really know why. Well, if you have any doubts, ask the saint directly later.”
“Seeing as you say that, I don’t think it’s a lie… Why on earth?”
Duran tilted his head and lowered his gaze toward my hand.
“No matter how much I look, I can’t feel anything.”
“···I don’t know about that, but can you please let go of my hand first?”
“Why? I’m just fulfilling my role as my sister’s escort. “If what you say is false, I will take you to the Inquisition…”
“If this is the atmosphere, won’t we both be dragged into that trial regardless of whether what I say is true?”
As I nodded and spoke about the surroundings, Duran only then began to look around.
A high-ranking priest with a deep frown,
A paladin closing his eyes tightly as if he saw something he couldn’t see.
Some people have red faces for some reason,
And even Lily, who is looking at Duran with cold eyes.
“Hmm.”
Duran, who noticed the various gazes directed at him, cleared his throat and let go of my hand.
“It would be quicker to ask directly.”
“Okay. “Well thought out.”
“If, just by chance, what you said is true…”
Duran said while looking at Lily, who was glancing in our direction, with a strange expression.
“I’ll try to find time sometime.”
“Time?”
“Uh. You two can’t hold hands openly in front of people. “There’s no way you could sneak into your sister’s dorm.”
No. I went in often.
“So, shouldn’t this brother step forward for the sake of his beloved sister? “I am not only related to you by blood, but I am also an escort knight, so I will be able to easily create such an opportunity.”
Even if I didn’t get help from him, I could have easily entered Lily’s room.
I nodded as I looked at Duran, who spoke with a determined expression.
“However, there is a condition.”
“Conditions?”
“Holding hands will only be allowed under my watch.”
I don’t like that.
My lips began to open reflexively.
“Why? Are you really afraid that I, this sweet and kind person, will do something unholy? If that’s the case, I don’t think you need to worry. “As for me, I have never been in a relationship since my previous life…”
While I was giving an impassioned speech, I got emotional at a strange point and had to trail off, and Duran firmly cut me off and said,
“No. “I trust my eyes.”
“···What insight?”
“In my opinion, you are not an ordinary man.”
That’s true. What else are you trying to say by exposing the foundation like this?
“What is a man who is not an average bettor?”
Although I agreed with Duran’s words, I tilted my head with an expression that showed I knew nothing, and Duran looked piercingly into my eyes and spoke firmly.
“A beastly man who is never satisfied with just one woman.”
“···What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
“If something like that were to happen with a pretty girl like you, you would never want to avoid it. Instead, they will rush at you like an animal.”
“···.”
Isn’t that obvious? I was speechless because such a question suddenly occurred to me.
“And I assure you, as long as you are pretty, even if it is not my sister, you are the kind of person who will enjoy the situation like an animal.”
“I think about this every time, but I think you’re really good at telling nonsense. I think the answer is already fixed anyway, so just do what you want. For your information, I have never felt such disrespectful feelings before. “I swear by the Heavenly God.”
With my expression distorted like that of a demon, I responded with a hint of displeasure, and Duran, who saw my expression, nodded while feeling sorry.
Is it because, in addition to being a beast in heat, he is also treated as a harem worm? The discomfort does not go away and the expression does not clear up.
How dare you treat me like that when you are only the next saint?
‘···How did you know?’
This bastard. After all, I don’t usually have a good eye.
“I’ll just ask first and then come back.”
Duran, who left my side while saying that, went straight to Lily and whispered something in her ear.
Then Lily nodded her head while blushing, and Duran whispered something to Lily again.
Did the story go well? Lily’s face began to turn bright red, and Duran, who saw that, shrugged her shoulders and looked at me. With an expression like a puppy looking for praise at her owner.
‘I appreciate your willingness to help, but…’
Is it because I like being alone better than three people? Even as I nodded to Duran, I felt strangely bitter inside.

After finishing the tiring schedule, Lily, who was sitting at the end of the bed in the dorm, spoke to Duran in a quiet voice.
“Get out.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I’m tired, so go out.”
“I understand. Camel, did you hear that too? “Let’s go out.”
“···Leave it behind.”
“What?”
“Leave the caramel seeds behind…”
Lily muttered in a voice as loud as a mosquito, and Duran, who was looking hurt, soon asked back with a straight face.
“Are you telling me to go out on this late night, leaving my sister, who is not even a woman, but a saint, alone with her husband? And to me, the saint’s escort knight? Are you kidding me? “How do I know what you two are going to do?”
“What are you saying we are doing?”
“Something like that between men and women.”

“They say they only hold hands, but what kind of nonsense does the child say…”
“Sister. Don’t you remember when we were kids, her mother used to complain about me being lazy? You always said that. Oh my, if I hadn’t believed that I only sleep while holding hands, I wouldn’t have lived like this.”
“···Mr. Caramel is not that type of person.”
Lily, whose face was bright red, glanced at me and muttered, and Duran, who was watching her, was so frustrated that he pounded his chest as if he was going to die.
“Even though I trust my sister, I completely don’t trust that friend? So let me be clear. I will never leave my sister alone with that friend. “If you send me away, I will send one of the high priests here.”
“That’s a bit…”
“So don’t just hold on to your aching head, make a decision quickly. “Either you hold her hand in front of me, or you send me out and bring someone else into the room for a while.”
“Hey, profit…!”
What is it that makes me so angry? Lily pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, clenched her fists and shook her body, then she looked at me. It was as if she was asking for help.
“Carmel, what do you think?”
What do you think? I want to knock you out and then throw you out.
“Lily. “Just do as Duran says.”
To be honest, I wanted to knock Duran out, but I didn’t know what kind of trouble I would get into if I did that, so I had no choice but to take Duran’s side.
He grabbed Lily’s hand.
“Huh, huh.”
“You had a hard time today, right? “You’ve been using your divine power excessively all day today…”
“I just did what I had to do as a saint… When I think of the pain that the people I met today must have gone through, I can endure this much pain.”
“Lie. “To be honest, I feel like I’m going to collapse at any moment.”
“It’s not a lie. “I’m really fine.”
“If it’s okay, should I just let go of this and go out with Duran? “You said you were still tired…”
“Ah, that, that…”
As I spoke, Lily lowered her head, squeezing my hand tighter.
“Well, actually, I think her head is going to explode. So, cow, don’t let go of your hand…”
“What are you doing? “Sister, I became convinced a little while ago.”
“What confidence?”
“I am convinced that if I leave them alone in the same space, my friend will end up becoming my brother-in-law.”
“···.”
“I’m holding back because my sister said it’s a way to make her suffer less. To be honest, I really don’t like this situation right now. Ha···.”
Duran looked uncomfortable, stroked her hair and let out a deep sigh.
“Friend, I am desperately hoping. “I hope my friend doesn’t harbor the slightest disrespect for my sister…”
Soon, he looked at me with harsh eyes and said.
She felt a little unfair. Considering that Duran is Lily’s younger brother, it was not impossible to understand.
‘Well, even if it were me, I would be worried.’
His own older sister, who is pretty and has the status of a saint, and a friend who is not only handsome but also has great abilities, holding his older sister’s hand.
In addition, he must have felt a strange current flowing between the two, so it was even more strange for Duran, his younger brother, not to be on guard.
Is it because I completely understand Duran’s feelings? My lips opened naturally.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
When I called out to Duran using only the movements of my mouth and not my voice, Duran opened his eyes wide and responded with only the movements of his mouth.
Is it because I have a good eye? Duran sensed my intention to talk alone, and thanks to this, I was able to speak comfortably while putting on a warm and friendly expression.
“Do you really want to sleep?”
