41 – relationship

beep… Pia… .

The inside of the study where the sound of small and thin breathing can be heard calmly.

Through the window with your back to it, the light of dawn, which has begun to brighten, replaces the place of long darkness.

piaang… … .

The fist-sized guy who was sleeping on top of someone else’s notebook with his small body curled up on the desk frowned, covered his face with his small hands, and turned to the other side.

I watched the back of the guy who had been flying around the house until just 30 minutes ago, then leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes.

-ah… … .

late night.

Claire suddenly appears.

A close distance where you can directly feel the small but hot breath of each other’s noses.

Her eyes entangled with mine, and she spat out a short sentence, followed by widening her eyes.

-That, that, this, this… … .

Then, after stuttering heavily, he handed me the box of his favorite cereal he was holding, then turned and ran away.

Her magical powers are rapidly fading away.

For a moment, I couldn’t detect her magical power, which was as pure and clean as Baek Ha-na. No, not only that, but I didn’t recognize the existence itself. Perhaps it was Vuir’s doing.

Beep… … .

I opened my eyes to the sound of chicks tickling my ears.

The guy lying down with his back to the sunlight wiggles as if something is uncomfortable.

That’s why I must have told you several times to go back to the nest.

“Tsk.”

He picked up the entire notebook he was crouching on, got up from his seat, and headed for the bedroom.

“You are a bad boy more than a hundred… .”

As a child, Hana Baek was also very active and curious, so there were several times when I made her a little annoying. However, this guy did more than one hundred and one back then, but he was never lacking.

I put the notebook on the bed and set it at an angle.

Swoop.

The fist-sized guy slides down and lands on the bed. The fidgety guy grabbed the blanket with his small body and rolled himself up. Then he calmed down again.

“… Parenting twice is a no-no.”

I opened the bedroom door slightly and left the study window open. In the sense that when he wakes up later, don’t cry loudly and go back to my nest.

After sorting out the annoying guy, I headed to the kitchen because it was time for Claire to arrive. I opened a bag of cereal she had left yesterday and put it on the table for the fairy to eat as a bonus with a sandwich to eat.

Now, waiting for her to come, I gathered the things I needed for today’s lecture in the study.

“… … .”

However, even though it was past 6 o’clock and the short hand was getting closer to 7 o’clock, Claire did not appear.

A thorough distinction between public and private life, she is late. without any contact.

Originally, it was not yet the time for disturbances from outside.

However, I did not know how the events would have turned out due to the presence of Nara, so I took out my smartphone from my pocket to check the article.

-Titling~!

The screen of the smartphone in my hand turned on on its own.

His forehead naturally wrinkles.

[ (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ bad guy!!]

“I will break it.”

[ (;⌣̀_⌣́) Wrong.]

“… … .”

There are few people who stimulate my emotions.

Among them, I asked the guy who raised his anger especially well.

“The dragon is.”

[ (⇀‸↼‶) That makes sense. I mean Claire is a little sick. I contacted you instead.]

“… condition.”

[ (¬‿¬ )]

“I’ll go now, so wait.”

[ (,,#ﾟДﾟ) Sorry! sorry! I won’t!!]

sat down again.

I didn’t intend to go in the first place, I just threatened him a little because I was annoyed by his behavior.

“therefore. How are you?”

[ (ง •̀_•́)ง It’s not that painful. I was forced to sleep because I was just mentally and physically weak.]

… … mental weakness.

Naturally, the events of yesterday came to mind.

“I’m sure he’s not the kind of person who would become weak over something like that.”

[You really don’t think so.]

The playfulness that had been contained in the mail was gone.

[If you really think so, I’ll get Claire back. It would be enough if you didn’t have to be Claire’s kid.]

It was an e-mail composed of extremely simple sentences that came to mind on an ordinary machine.

However, I could feel a slight anger at the letters floating on the screen.

It was a sudden change, but it was not disconcerting.

I just think that he values Claire that much.

[I still think of you as a dangerous class. But the reason you allowed him to stay with you is because you made a good change for Claire. So.]

The lights disappeared from the brightly lit screen.

I raised my head and looked ahead. On the desk where there should be nothing.

Right there, Vuir, a child clothed in soft light, sat down and looked this way.

I can’t find the playful smile I’ve seen before.

A face hardened with a coolness that a child could never contain.

In the eyes of the guy who captured me, the same golden eyes as mine shimmered ominously.

【Let’s reorganize our relationship here.】

outright hostility towards me.

However, the clear child’s voice contradicted him.

It made even me feel disconnected.

“I will.”

my relationship with him.

It’s just a relationship where each other has something they want from each other, cooperates for that, and can split for each other’s benefit at any time.

【There is only one thing I want from you. Claire. Please answer the child’s heart honestly. You already know.]

“You also have virtue.”

In the past, when I came to have Baek Ha-na’s abilities appraised, he once asked me a question as a condition of accepting my request. Claire had asked me if I was interested in her.

【Then you told me. that you are interested I am interested in the good side.]

“Yes it was.”

If you ask me again now, I will give you the same answer.

However, the meaning is slightly different from then.

At that time, it was an answer in the sense of wanting to know a little more about the character Claire.

but now… … . Perhaps it is close to interest in the opposite sex. No, reason would be right.

The fact that he sometimes loses his eyes on her is probably proof of that.

what… … It must be the reason why it reminds me of Baek Ha-na’s old appearance.

The fact that she reminded me of Baek Ha-na already meant that she was as special as Baek Ha-na to me.

【That child has already tried to express her feelings to you once. you blocked that To be honest, I didn’t really like your behavior then. I blocked the answer, but it was an act that left room. It was like measuring my child, and I was really offended. Of course, if you are, you deserve it. And I, too, have the right to protect and interfere with my child.]

The boy glared at me with sparkling eyes and said.

【So, please answer the child’s heart properly. It’s okay to say no. It will be sad, but it will also make the child grow up. I just want you to postpone the answer and leave no room like you did back then. If you don’t like that, I’ll get Claire back from you. There are no other options.]

Vuir spread out his two small hands.

【Choose. Will you keep Claire by your side and continue your relationship with me? Or, will it end like this.]

It wasn’t an option to worry too much about.

It is my fault for leaving room, but there is one misunderstanding by Vuir. He didn’t know that I didn’t leave it to her, but to myself.

I said to the guy who calmly waited for an answer.

“… do not answer correctly Instead, it takes time.”

【Why?】

He demanded an answer from me with an intense gaze.

To that, I replied with something that was true but not true.

“I am emotionally drained. So, I need time to really check what my feelings are.”

【… … Are you just angry with me? And our cute Werewolf is well cared for.]

Vuir glared at me with suspicious eyes.

It’s more like a werewolf… … .

I thought it was a trivial nickname and continued.

“Baekhana is an exception. That’s because you guys scratch my nerves over and over again.”

【Well… … . So, you don’t feel any emotions other than anger?]

“I don’t even feel it unless you play pranks. It’s just a little annoying.”

【huh! There are still so many children looking for me, but it’s annoying!! I can’t. I’ll have to try it myself. Now, close your eyes.]

He asked me to close my eyes with the expression of a grumpy child. However, unlike the heartbroken face, the golden eyes of the boy whose ominous eyes had disappeared contained the innocence of a child eager to play a joke.

I warned him in advance.

“If you fool around, I will really break your stone statue this time.”

【What did you say. Like that or not, just close your eyes.]

“… … .”

I stared at the guy’s sparkling eyes for a while, unlike the protruding lips, and then closed my eyes.

【Did you close your eyes?】

“… … closed.”

【I can’t believe it. Is it okay if I take off my glasses?]

“… Don’t touch it.”

I took off my glasses myself, wanting to send this noisy fellow away as soon as possible.

“Quickly finish.”

【It’ll be over in a moment, so don’t open your eyes and stay calm.】

After that, the boy did not open his mouth.

A moment of silence that had barely arrived.

The energy of Vuir gradually becomes clearer in it.

The size of the force has not changed at all from the beginning.

What has changed is his presence.

What was blurry and unstable, as if it would disappear at any moment, gradually became clearer and gradually got closer…

Swoop.

His neck was wrapped around something and pulled forward.

Something soft and fluffy pressed against the cheek.

Even if I didn’t remove it, it quickly let go of my neck and backed away.

A vivid aura left on the cheeks.

I wiped my cheek with the back of my hand and opened my eyes.

The top of the desk was empty.

That time when I was fixing my glasses that I had taken off because I couldn’t shake off a very unpleasant feeling.

-Tiriling~!

A nerve-wracking sound flowed from the smartphone in my hand.

He flipped the hand holding the smartphone over.

I was able to check a single mail through the large screen that was turned on at will.

[ (*≧∀≦*) Kyaat (Photo) ]

It was a picture of an innocent woman hugging my neck and kissing my cheek.

-Threeing~

Then a new mail arrived.

[ (¬◡¬)✧ Behave well. I don’t want to be sprayed everywhere… ]

Break-!!

Fragments of crushed machinery fall to the floor.

Packing your belongings with your broken smartphone in your pocket.

I looked at the watch Baek Ha-na had given me as a gift that was placed on the desk.

Am 07:17

1 hour and 43 minutes until the start of the lecture.

Enough time.

-Beep… beep… .

Fortunately, the bad boy who had been flying around until dawn was sleeping soundly without waking up.

After turning on the light in the hallway so it wouldn’t be dark, I put on the coat I had hung on the hanger. Then, quietly, I opened the front door and walked outside.

Not to the north where the annex is located, but to the west where the street of light is.
