63 – No, so where is Lepista’s wand – 3

“understood.”

Jekyll quietly rubbed his chin.

“It’s a story that Regita brought the demon dragons to Peltir Hill to get information about Lepista’s wand.”

“Yeah. you’re right.”

Christine nodded quietly.

Jekyll’s eyes look serious beyond imagination, and Christine also looks at them as if possessed.

“Christine.”

“I am listening.”

“I will go out on my own. Anyway, it seems that there is no vampire other than me who meets the conditions.”

Christine and Artel’s heads tilt once again.

Rather than hating it, I was on the inclined side because I was glad to see it. Why did you suddenly take care of me like this since the coronation ceremony?

No, he was taking care of me even more now than I did back then. Aren’t you stepping out to figure out the risks that haven’t been mentioned yet and resolve them yourself?

Artel quietly whispered to Christine.

“Also, I am right. I am doing this to give you a ring… !”

“Uh huh. A quick conclusion is coming.”

Hmmm, he cleared his throat, and Christine parted her lips.

“If you say you’re going out on your own, what do you plan on doing?”

“It’s not that simple. I will drive the demon dragons out of Feltir Hill, and I will not let Lepista’s wand fall into Regita’s hands.”

“Jekiel.”

Christine calls him by name.

“To be honest, I don’t really need Lepista’s wand right now. Are you still willing to step in?”

“Of course.”

Jekyll nodded without a second thought.

“The relationship between harpies and vampires will continue to be important. Besides… Other than that, I have a reason why I have to do this.”

The corners of Artel’s mouth twitch. He put his mouth to Christine’s ear again.

“When this job is over, I will properly propose again. Could it be that… ?”

“Joe, please stay still.”

Why is the secretary, who should keep calm more than anyone else, making a fuss?

Listening to her whispers, even Christine’s mind becomes confused. So, Christine had no choice but to clear her throat again.

However, Artel’s fuss did not stop.

“Come to think of it, didn’t Jekiel-nim ask for help when it came time to find Lepista’s wand?”

“It is.”

“What do you mean by that? The point at which I was looking for Lepista’s wand was the day I made up my mind to propose. Could be something like that… ”

“Stop it!”

Christine sneaks away from Artel. Keep your chest tight.

“What are you two talking about?”

At Zekiel’s words, Christine and Artel flinched and trembled. The two shake hands at the same time.

“Oh, nothing.”

“Yes. It wasn’t all that important.”

In fact, the important story may be right. Anyway, Jekyll let out a deep sigh.

“If it’s not important, put it aside for now. It’s an urgent situation at one o’clock, so let’s leave right now.”

“The harpy you are supposed to accompany is bedridden due to injuries. Even if we start early, I think it will be around tomorrow morning.”

At Artel’s words, Jekiel is dissatisfied.

“It’s an injury, so it means that he didn’t just bring in the demon dragons, he even used violence.”

“you’re right. If you resist, they say you used force.”

“It’s better. I don’t like being too peaceful either.”

Isn’t there a saying that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?

If it comes out that way, at least that much should be returned. It shouldn’t be a problem to return it only to the extent that it feels like ‘self-defense’.

“Anyway, I got it. Then I should get some rest tonight.”

“I think that would be better.”

“this much.”

Jekiel greets him and tries to leave, but Artel calls him once.

“Jekiel.”

“What.”

As Jekiel turned his head, Artel secretly looked at Christine and asked.

“If you say you’ll get a good night’s rest… Are you resting in the human world or here?”

As if asking something so obvious, the answer came right back.

“Of course I should rest here. There is no reason to go back to the human world because I have given you a vacation.”

After saying that, Jekiel leaves, and Artel and Christine’s expressions become subtle.

“Christine.”

“I am listening. Artel.”

“I know it sounds presumptuous, but I wonder if the sudden arrival of Mr. Jekiel and his intention to spend the night here are really lighthearted.”

Christine is also troubled.

Certainly, there were many things that felt too inevitable to be dismissed as coincidences.

‘He said he would interrogate once a week and restore his vitality.’

The words were interrogation, and the words were life-sucking, but in fact, it was no different from a bold confession that I would share skinship with Jekiel at least once a week.

And is Jekiel stupid enough not to understand that?

No, he’s smarter than Christine. He must have understood Christine’s intention better than anyone else.

“Well… ”

Christine drooled.

Oddly expected, but at the same time incredibly worrying.

“I never practiced how to spend the night. I’m afraid I’ll look stupid.”

“Wouldn’t that be better?”

“Mmm.”

Artel smiles and continues talking.

“It’s the sin of arrogance, Jekiel-sama was born a vampire lord. Nothing could be more satisfying than having your fiancé be a virgin.”

“is that so… ”

When Christine still shows a worried look, Artel continues with a determined face.

“Furthermore, I think the other side should do this kind of complex trouble. Isn’t Christine the sin of pride?”

“It is.”

“Then it’s over there that you need to keep an eye on! Take it easy! Take it easy! Think of it as being in a position to receive what the other side does!”

“Mmm.”

Certainly, if you measure this or that or show restlessness, that would be an act that doesn’t seem like it.

Christine, who has now risen to the place of the sin of pride. You will have to act differently than normal women.

“Fortunately, I read a lot about it in the literature. Let’s try to prepare without lacking.”

Then, Artel’s lips twitched. I tried to hold it in, but soon the corner of my mouth went up so that it could bend.

“lol… Then may I help you?”

“Absolutely not.”

◈

-You have no charm as a woman at all. Are you aware of yourself?

– If you’re aware of it, make an effort.

“Mmm.”

Christine returned to her bedroom confidently, but Jekyll’s comments from the past were still lingering in her mind.

Even when I heard those words, I never imagined that a day like this would come.

How do you prepare now? Christine paced the bedroom, looking like she really didn’t know what to do.

“First take a bath.”

clean body.

If that’s the case, first of all, no problem. I’ve already taken three baths.

One ordinary bath, one with fragrant wine, one with the blood of a pure-blooded elf… Too much is too much, too much is too much.

“atmosphere?”

Yes, the atmosphere is also indispensable. If a gig is held, it can be said that the atmosphere is what lays the background for the gig.

Soft incense in soft lighting. Ambiguous curtains, as if closed, as if left open. I even lit a few candles just in case.

“costume.”

When it comes to clothing, you can get advice from books.

– Taking off the cloth that covers the body can be said to be the beauty of relationships. Therefore, showing skin in the first place is not a very attractive behavior—

blah blah. It’s a long story, but the bottom line is to dress appropriately.

When I read it, it wasn’t something I would be particularly hostile to, but rather something I could accept, so I did that. She wore her usual black dress.

All preparations you can do have been completed. Christine’s determined face naturally turned toward the bedroom door.

Now all he has to do is come into the bedroom. All you have to do is come in…

This time her gaze turned to the clock. Five minutes later, it was midnight, and still no one knocked on the door.

You are here to come at midnight. I try to turn the circuit in my head to the good side, but it is also true that I get a little impatient.

And that moment when the hour and minute hands of the clock overlap.

smart-

someone knocked on the door Huff, Christine involuntarily holds her breath once.

I hurriedly found a ring on my left ring finger and put it on. I could put in a little pressure to change the ring on my finger.

And the dodo ran to the window on the other side of the door, sat down, and cleared his throat.

“Come in.”

Shiiik—

The door opens.

Then, just like you practiced in the mirror. One, two, three.

“Have you come?”

“ah… Sorry for the late hour. I am Zekiel-sama’s secretary, but in order to leave tomorrow morning, I have to check all the necessary supplies right now, so inevitably at this late hour… yes?”

DeMerry entered while scratching his head, and our eyes met beautifully.

one second. five seconds. ten seconds. Silence flows.

“ah… Uh, sorry. I am really sorry.”

“Oh, no. Rather, this… ”

“I’ll call Mr. Jekyel. Yes, yes…”

“No, no. Please don’t do anything.”

After bowing their heads once, DeMerry hurriedly shuts the door.

In fact, from Christine’s point of view, there is no need to bow her head at all, but the shame automatically moves her head first.

“……”

embarrassed.

No other expression is needed. I’m just ashamed…

“Ahhh… ”

Christine collapses onto the bed.

I buried my apple-red face between the pillows as hard as I could.
