58 – Death (8)

A girl with pink hair.

Floria Andelson kept feeling anxious.

A young man and woman in a cabin?

It was none other than the person who created the situation.

‘I must be really crazy… Leave the fish to the cat…?’

To be precise, the saintess was of the rabbit family rather than the cat.

Anyway, no matter how urgent the situation is, it was premature.

– All right, all right.

Horseback riding, a nobleman’s skill, is so helpful.

She rode alone, and by the time the sun had risen, she had reached the cabin.

‘I have to say something…’

The fallen Hayu, the saintess and Rain who followed him to nurse and protect him,

The unconscious prince, the dead Professor Systein.

In the end, only he had to suffer from the imperial investigation team for a long time.

The problem is, even on the day of the incident, he was only in his room, so he didn’t know anything.

‘Thanks to my parents, I met them…’

Instead, I was able to meet my parents who had been separated for a long time.

He probably came because he was curious about what happened to them because it was related to the Asfondel family.

Again, they were disappointed to hear that there had been no harm except for one of the Asphondel servants.

‘Whoa.’

Floria opened the cabin door forcefully, forgetting to knock.

– Quaang!

Fortunately, I didn’t feel any unpleasant air.

“Hayu-nim!!”

-Dalgrak

Hayu is cutting bread for breakfast.

“…Floria-sama.”

Without hesitation, she grabbed Hayu’s waist and hugged him.

‘Check the smell…’

Floria just raised her head and glared at Hayu.

“The two of you… you must have done something strange in my cabin, right?”

Prissy, who was making fruit jam, turned to Hayu.

The two didn’t say anything as if they were embarrassed.

“Gee… Really!”

Last night when the full moon rose,

In the end, it was Hayu who rejected the relationship.

Seeing the saintess with her eyes closed tightly in a stone-like posture, he smiled slightly and carefully covered her with a blanket.

No matter how much human beings have animal instincts, sexual desire soars when they face extinction, but they couldn’t bear to let go of their rationality.

Even thinking of the saintess who would be left behind, I couldn’t allow such pleasure without responsibility.

As soon as he attained one of the Seven Pillars, chastity, it was too much remorse for him to take real chastity.

– Suck.

Instead, in Hayu’s pocket is the rosary he received from the saint.

It’s a gift for reaching 3 affinity, but I don’t think this will resurrect it again.

In any case, all they were allowed to do was steamy foreplay.

Hayu said as he unwrapped her arm around his waist.

“You misunderstood.”

misunderstanding.

It was the words Floria had been waiting for.

After all, this stupid man and the saintess, who doesn’t know if she’s frustrated or innocent, wouldn’t have the courage to do that.

“That’s Okay. I have no more doubts.”

Floria, with her arms folded and her eyes wide open, sensed it.

This is not the time to talk about this.

His expression, seen after a few days, contained resignation, not comfort.

It’s definitely a different feeling from a man’s wise time…

With a hopeless heart, she asked Hayu what she was curious about.

“Hayu. The pendant I gave you.”

“yes?”

“Your grandfather’s pendant… is that what protected Hayu?”

Hayu with a dry expression reacted to this.

“Surely Hayu-nim said that the pendant protected him… but my father said it wouldn’t have that kind of effect… he said. It’s a necklace that didn’t show any ability while our family went through all the fertility battles in the first place…”

Floria started asking questions.

“It is a little strange. Lady Arain’s behavior seems to have changed. My eyes can’t lie. Is Hayu-nim saying that you are no longer his servant, because your household is really canceled?”

The saintess also stopped what she was doing and listened attentively.

“I heard that the method of disassociation has not yet been revealed. If the owner doesn’t allow it, there’s no choice but to die…”

“……”

“During the investigation this time, I learned many things… What I overheard was that according to the rules of the spirit world, there is no such thing as a complete resurrection… The Imperial Palace Investigation Team said so…”

Prissy is more embarrassed than Hayu.

“What, what does that mean…? Are you saying that Lord Hayu is dead…?”

“So, Hayu-nim, please tell me clearly. Now, Mr. Hay, something is strange. I keep feeling that the end will be bad… I feel anxious.”

Hayu said calmly.

“Do you want to eat first?”

.

.

.

– Crisp.

sunny afternoon.

After a simple meal, the three had a tea time outside the cabin in the flowery garden.

Although a bit old, the white chairs and tables with classic patterns that are usable enough,

Above all, the best weather and the endless feast of flowers were quite tasteful.

“I have to tell you now.”

Hayu skillfully poured tea for the two of them.

“To begin with, I think I will die soon.”

“……!!!”

Prissy had rabbit eyes in surprise for a moment, but as if she had expected it to some extent, it soon returned to normal.

“That, like that!”

Surprised Floria started to hiccup.

“sorry.”

At Hayu’s apology, the two couldn’t say anything.

Just looking at one’s reflection in the tea in the teacup.

“With the pendant Floria-sama gave me, I came back to life. It is true that the circle was released like that. As you said, there is no resurrection without a price…”

Butterflies are flying around through thousands of flowers.

Floria and Prissy were blind to this beautiful sight.

Hayu stood up and bowed 90 degrees.

“In the meantime, thank you.”

-……

“I almost couldn’t say goodbye last time, but this time I can say hello. It’s all thanks to Floria-sama’s grandfather.”

Floria clapped her hands.

“No. No. Hey, this is not this. Are you kidding me…?”

To play with people’s lives, there must be something else to do.

However, it was Floria who wanted to take it as a joke.

“…You may find it hard to believe, but I am not originally from this world.”

“……”

I’d rather believe this more. Just disappear…

Hayu started listing the things that had happened at the academy.

From the fate I met at the airship,

festival of Atlas,

help with application,

eat together,

Sometimes I wait for the saintess with Floria.

The times that passed so naturally.

If Floria had known this day would come, she wondered if she would have been able to spend it as normal then.

Could it be that every day was wasted?

No, this was the greatest happiness for him.

ordinary daily life.

It’s so… simple.

It was just that he was manipulated by the demons for 10 years and enjoyed a little of the normal daily life of the academy.

Even so, with a face that showed no regrets, it was frustrating to the point of death.

“Hayu-nim! No… My revenge… You promised to do it..! No. This is it, St. Prissy? Are you two trying to make fun of me?”

Floria moves back and forth between the two of them.

“Pricy? Can’t you heal with divine magic? When you regret it, it’s too late. You have to do something!”

Prissy swallowed the tears welling up and shook her head quietly.

‘There is no divine magic that prevents death…’

She doesn’t want to deny hope either.

But because this was to ease Hayu’s burden.

“No… you’re both tired and can’t make good judgments. Dad, get in the carriage quickly. Go to the ecliptic or anywhere…! Because we have to find a way to save Lord Hayu…”

Floria grabbed the two of them by their clothes and dragged them.

And Hayu lightly grabbed Floria’s forearm.

“You are kind. Also.”

“Th-don’t say that…!”

Hayu just spoke to her slowly, without any haste.

“This is my last request. Please have a cup of tea with me.”

“Sir, no… Why didn’t you do anything? Isn’t it too late? No matter how fatal a chronic disease is, six months… No, if you take good care of your body, you can live for a year… Hayu-nim has a strong will… If Seongnyeo and I find a way during that time…”

In the end, to calm down Floria, he shook his head.

“…no. no…!”

– Warak.

As Floria’s voice grew louder, Prissy came over and hugged Hayu and her tightly.

-!!

Like that, the three share warmth.

“Why, why does Hayu-nim have to be like this…”

Tears fall from Floria’s eyes.

‘I can feel that you are alive next to me like this…!’

The three hugged each other for a long time.

In the midst of saying goodbye, the sound of magic power vibrating from afar was heard.

* * *

Rain, who got off the wagon powered by magic stones, doubted his own eyes for a moment.

I thought I had left the mansion with the saintess, but even Floria.

As if they were conscious of themselves, the three stood there as if they were embarrassed.

‘That’s fine…’

She did her best, wearing her favorite fascinator and corsage.

I want to take Hayu right now, but I don’t have the right to do so.

Therefore, I had to calmly explain to those two why I should take him who is not a member of my family.

Hayu is now in a dangerous state. Because he is a suspect who may have harmed the prince.

So it must be protected. It may be difficult, but while respecting Hayu’s opinion as much as possible.

It was a very important moment, so Lane took a deep breath and spoke.

“Can I wear it at tea time too?”

Floria quietly held back her cry, and Prisci answered instead.

“…Sure. Lady Arain.”

Hayu gives up his seat as if it were natural.

In a way, even though he should show consideration as a servant, Lane’s heart is shaken once again.

– Suck.

She sat quietly in his seat.

And he immediately got to the point.

Be as formal and dignified as possible.

“For the time being, can you leave Hayu with me?”

“……”

“I don’t know what Kyle will say when he comes to his senses. Until then… I think it would be better for me as a demon to have Hayu with me. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just a proposal for everyone…”

“……”

Only silence flows.

‘…?’

It was a little different from what Lane thought.

I can’t see that the two people’s expressions are bad, but they are a little gloomy.

‘Was I too unlucky…?’

At that time, Prissy looked at Lane and said quietly.

“…Please speak comfortably.”

“Ah, I will treat Hayu as a classmate from now on. I will not make any unreasonable requests. With guaranteed free time, if I can meet you anytime… I don’t care… I don’t care, yo.”

As Lane finishes his words, he sneaks a glance at the two of them.

There is no reaction.

I’m a little sorry for what I said.

Of course, it is not a lie to say that he was purely for Hayu.

However, if the opposition between the two is so great that the numbers go wrong,

In the case of the saintess, the fact that she was in a bit of a difficult situation, and in the case of Floria, she was going to use the fact that she was in a bad situation to persuade her by providing support with materials.

I don’t think there’s any need to play such a bad role.

Lane’s words are getting weaker.

“Of course, this proposal is Hayu’s choice…”

As she looks at Hayu, he creeps closer.

“Consideration, thank you.”

‘uh…?’

Things work out better than expected. Besides, Lee Ha-yu takes her side.

With Hayu’s words, Rain gained courage.

More at readwn

Just a little bit, really a little bit… I want to boast.

It is the temperament of the demon tribe that still remains.

“Hey, it’s not bad here either, but Hayu doesn’t like sunlight that much. I promise to take you to a better garden.”

“…..”

Everyone nodded helplessly.

Lane was sure.

The two lack the strength to protect Hayu.

And you are quicker to judge the situation than you think.

“Pandaemonium might not be fun, so I’ll go to the ecliptic, I’ll go to Lapgenia… I’ll invite everyone when it’s quiet. Of course, this is Hayu’s choice, so he respects the doctor…?”

still no response

Besides, every time he said a word, even when he checked Hayu’s face, he didn’t show a hint of anger or discomfort.

‘this is right…?’

Lane felt a little uncomfortable.

But good is good. She said her final goodbyes with a slightly uneasy feeling.

“Then, we… I’ll go back. If you’re curious about how Hayu is doing, come to the mansion anytime. However, make sure to avoid the eyes of the empire…”

“Both of you, please be well.”

– Tup.

Floria covers her mouth with her hand.

And Prissy smiles as much as she can and says goodbye.

“yes. Alain lady. See you next time… And Mr. Hayu…”

Prissy’s facial muscles were trembling slightly, but she couldn’t be seen by Lane, who was about to go back to her new mansion and have a party.

For some reason, Thrace was reluctant to do so, but she did her best to prepare the welcome food.

And his new room will be next to Lane, not downstairs.

They are decorated to the same level as their own.

There will be nothing physically inconvenient about living.

Of course, he has a tender heart, so he’ll want Felix and Trecia to take care of him too.

Lane decorated even the two of them like a suite.

Seeing yourself that has changed so much, changing your perception one by one.

So when he is ready, let’s apologize once more then.

Slowly, with time and effort.

It was an extension of this mindset that he did not impose any restrictions on going out secretly with the saint this time.

It is the decision he chose.

Respect them when they respect you, and don’t force yourself on your own.

Both at the academy and for the future.

Become a valued collaborator. Seriously… Let’s treat it.

.

.

.

Likewise, the day was sunny without a single cloud.

– Dripping.

The wagon carrying the two of them moved slowly.

There are no horses to call it a carriage, and since the mana stone replaces it, it is an expensive item that requires an enormous maintenance cost.

But Lane didn’t care about such trivial expenses.

Do your best to treat him sincerely.

This is the result of her agonizing over three days.

-……

‘Hayu, what are you thinking…?’

I felt a little lively. Is it because of the mood?

Facing his face, again, tears are about to come out.

Rain gives a word to Hayu in case Hayu feels sorry for her.

“don’t worry. I’m just asking you to stay by my side until things calm down.”

Then, Hayu said.

“miss.”

“…uh?”

“…Don’t you want to vampirize?”

Hayu pulls up his shirt and holds out his shiny wrist.

“Uh… Huh?”

Sometimes the one who suggested it first.

Each of his gentle touches in the past covets Lane’s mind.

Unknowingly, saliva is swallowed.

‘Really…?’

Wasn’t that wrong too? From a book about human emotions,

They said that if you treat people with sincerity, they will surely respond.

‘So quickly…?’

Hayu tilted his head instead of answering.

Asking again definitely meant allowing the vampirism.

But Lane has changed.

“Gwa, it’s okay… I can tolerate this much.”

I firmly believed in that.

There is a long way to go.

I didn’t want to give fatigue to the sick Hayu for nothing.

Above all, if he vampirizes now, doesn’t it seem like he was brought here because of vampirism?

“……”

For some reason, Hayu only had eyes that Rain couldn’t understand.

Lane looked into his dark eyes for a while.

at that time,

– Knocked up!

Maybe something went wrong, the carriage stopped.

-!!

When Hayu reacted to this and shuddered, Lane moved her body, saying that she would go herself.

Because his movements seemed very difficult.

‘You must be very tired…’

.

.

.

There were no problems with the wheels or the body.

It’s just that the wheel fell into a small pit.

-widely.

When Lane lightly snapped his fingers,

– Dripping empty!

Wheels came off easily.

“phew.”

Can I do unexpected things one by one like this?

Even with him.

-♩♪♩~

From Rain, a humming song comes out naturally, just like a human being.

What would be the reaction if they saw the welcome party set up in the mansion?

Of course, I won’t be able to receive the same gratitude as before, but I hoped that his anger would be lessened even a little.

‘Anyway, it was too narrow inside. I should have just invited everyone…’

Originally, a party is fun when everyone is together.

The sad expressions of the two keep bothering me.

‘But if the incident calms down… the day will come when we meet again at the academy.’

the day we will meet again

It’s a pity that he couldn’t completely monopolize Hayu, but Rain decided to speak up for him.

“Hayu!”

And when Lane climbed back into the wagon,

he was sleeping

hard.

– Tweet.

With the chirping of birds as a lullaby.

‘What… are you sleeping?’

If it’s a nap in broad daylight, Rain sometimes has it, but

It’s the first time I see him sleeping.

‘Interesting…’

Lane reached out and patted his head.

– Sarak…

her fair hands,

It connects to Hayu’s forehead, to his ears, and to the bridge of his nose.

– Stop.

‘……?’

In an instant, the smile on Lane’s face disappears.

The hand that had set a destination for the lips stopped near the nose.

“……”

My heart throbs and sinks.

“…………”

.

.

.

The chirping of birds and the sound of carriages rolling on the ground again,

It was a sunny day like any other.
