episode_0218

In the end, Lee Seo-yool fell asleep.

I had expected it from the moment you tilted your head up and down.

The body that was slowly collapsing was supported by the wings of the sky.

“Eeeeeing… ”

Let’s wrap Lee Seo-yul up like a quilt with the wings of the sky and sit her down on our lap.

Even while sleeping, he held Lee Ha-yool tightly with both hands.

He even buries his face in her arms and cries.

[Hehehe]

At the sight that resembled a kitten acting up, Lee Ha-yool’s face naturally relaxed.

She placed her cheek on Lee Seo-yool’s forehead and rubbed it against his.

The hair tickling my chin couldn’t have been that thick.

The sound of rumbling breathing and pounding heartbeat can be heard from the bodies that are stuck together.

[Ugh…]

[I miss you…]

Enjoying that feeling, Lee Ha-yool unconsciously placed the apple on the necklace as if whining.

My body felt strangely hot and my head felt dizzy.

I haven’t even tasted alcohol, and I can’t even smell it, and yet I’m doing this.

The only smell I can sense is the body odor of the two people in the room, but why is my head spinning so much?

[Mianae…]

A gloomy expression rose up, the alcohol intoxicating effect that he had not realized.

A needless feeling of guilt and regret welled up in me.

There are so many things I haven’t been able to do for such a beautiful and lovely child.

In other words, there are many things that I couldn’t do because I lacked the ability or something, rather than things that I tried hard to give to others.

Lee Ha-yul has never called himself a parent.

He never called himself father, and he never called Lee Seo-yul his daughter.

Before we consider this rate.

This is because, consciously or unconsciously, they cannot consider themselves to be worthy guardians.

Material environment and the guardian’s attitude.

It is difficult to raise a child in an environment where nothing is properly prepared.

Knowing him, I never thought of having children…

Just as nothing in the world goes as planned, this incident was no different.

[Mianae…]

I should have taken good care of it even if I had to make excuses like that, but there were too many things I was lacking to grade myself on…

“Uh, um… ”

The sound of damp apples echoing in a room that has suddenly become quiet.

The voice that is spoken with a clear voice is full of sincerity.

Even Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been blushing at the sight of Lee Seo-yool falling asleep, moved her hand away with a wince.

“Oh my, I fell asleep. Well, if it were normal, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago.”

In the meantime.

Elia smiled quietly and lifted her hips.

He moved to the seat next to Lee Ha-yool, which Lee Seo-yool had been occupying, and extended both his hands.

“Okay, I’m sure Seo-yool likes being held like this, but if you want her to sleep more comfortably, you should put her on the bed, right?”

One hand pats Lee Seo-yool’s back, and the other hand gently caresses Lee Ha-yool’s cheek.

The gestures that seemed to comfort children, big and small, seemed quite familiar.

[huh…]

Now, Lee Ha-yul, who had been nodding his head up and down, was lost in thought.

‘Should I go out too…?’

If it were normal, I would lie down on the bed next to Lee Seo-yool and fall asleep.

But things weren’t going well.

The meal is almost over, but people are still drinking heavily.

Food has long since become a side dish rather than a meal.

Towards the end of the meal, they started to list foods that would go well with alcohol.

That is, the session is not over yet, and it is a bit strange for the host to get up first.

But I didn’t feel like leaving Lee Seo-yool alone…

“Shall I put you to sleep?”

There, Elia thankfully said something like this.

[Ugh…]

[no]

[are you okay]

Lee Ha-yool blinked for a moment and then shook his head.

[Elia, you should enjoy it too]

“Then, will you come back and put Harul to sleep?”

[hmm…]

[no…]

[I have to keep going…]

“No, it feels a bit strange when you say it’s on the market… ”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who was standing next to me, muttered in a trembling voice.

It’s not that there’s no drinking going on around here right now.

Each person is sitting with their backs against the sofa, and there are snacks and bottles of alcohol lined up on the table.

The interior, bathed in orange light pouring down from the lights, had a rather sticky atmosphere until just a moment ago… Now that you mention it, I can’t help but imagine something gloomy…

[Yeah yeah…]

Lee Ha-yul shook his head blankly and wiggled his fingers without hearing him.

Zzuk – The air split apart.

It is a space similar to the subspaces that have been frequently introduced, but different, and is a familiar space to Liana and Elia, who have learned spirit magic.

– Pyobyobyo

As if to affirm him, a rainbow of lights poured down from the torn space.

The spirits that poured out like a waterfall from a broken dam soon attached themselves to Lee Seo-yool’s body one after another.

The spirits that Lee Ha-yul contracted with liked Lee Seo-yul very much.

First of all, thanks to the race of fairies, even though they didn’t have a contract, they basically followed Lee Seo-yool’s words.

“The spirits have grown so much! It looks like they’ll all be promoted to lieutenant soon?”

While everyone was blankly staring at Lee Seo-yool, who was engulfed in the spirit’s halo of light.

Rihanna, who had been keeping an eye on the situation and holding the bottle in her mouth, let out an exclamation after checking the spirit’s condition.

At first, they were all lower spirits whose actions were entirely instinctive, but now they have developed a sense of self.

I feel like I will soon be promoted to lieutenant, and I will begin to come to my senses.

[yes…]

[That’s there too]

[I had a command issue, so I wanted to… consult with you.]

“Oh, right. Spirits and spirits don’t get along well.”

Spirits who are also part of the natural cycle.

In some ways, the commander is a being that goes against the cycle.

The compatibility between the two beings cannot be good at all.

[Last time, I ruined the corpse I worked so hard to make…]

“Ahaha, that’s a big tendency.”

If we have to be specific, there is a noticeable tendency for spirits to hate other spirits.

When Rihanna was in China, the spirits that she had released, telling her to be on guard, rolled their eyes and cut down the evil spirits scattered everywhere.

It was the same when Lee Ha-yool secretly destroyed the corpse that the commander had made.

“There is no one who has learned both necromancy and spirit magic…as far as I know.”

[I did that to get help…]

“Yes, yes, it’s definitely unprecedented. I’ll have to think about it.”

[yes…]

Lee Ha-yool shook his head as if shaking off the alcohol and waved his hand.

Lee Seo-yool’s body, surrounded by spirits, floated up.

As if trying to regain the lost warmth, Lee Seo-yool’s two hands were filled with spirits.

And then he lets out a strange sigh as if to say, “This doesn’t seem right…”

But the spirits who did not understand him took Lee Seo-yool and left the room.

– Suddenly

The spirits opened and closed the door with their own power and went out, laying Lee Seo-yool on the bed in a nearby room.

‘Ugh… ‘

Lee Ha-yool nodded as he observed the scene with his power of observation.

Safety wasn’t a major concern.

This is a cradle, and this mansion has extensive security measures in place.

Additionally, the hundreds of spirits surrounding Lee Seo-yool are all on the verge of reaching the rank of lieutenant.

They are much stronger than ordinary spirits, thanks to the magical power of the purest of all, Yiha Yul.

Even if you only use them, you can destroy all the low-level monsters that come rushing in.

In addition, Lee Seo-yool’s body has protective magic and magical tools that Lee Ha-yool himself meticulously placed on it.

The current crisis detection observation rate is being applied at a higher priority than the rate below.

If any signs of an emergency are detected, they will disappear without a trace from the remotely fired magical barrage.

“Uh, huh… ?”

Just in case, I was checking the safety devices again.

The hand that came between his armpits suddenly lifted Lee Ha-yul up.

A light body lifted without any strength.

Lee Ha-yool, who had been swaying back and forth, was forced to sit on Hong Yeon-hwa’s thigh without even being able to resist.

The flesh resting on my buttocks was soft. It was much softer and more supple than the high-end sofa I had been sitting on.

Hong Yeon-hwa looked down at Lee Ha-yool, who was blinking, with complicated eyes for a moment.

Finally, she let out a deep sigh.

“Oh my… ”

And then he swept back Lee Ha-yul’s bangs and kissed her exposed forehead.

Lee Ha-yool’s eyes widened at the kiss that was filled with sweet affection rather than sticky feelings.

“Why does the child get gloomy so often, huh? She was like that in the kitchen earlier too.”

Kiss kiss kiss-

He kissed her forehead in succession, hugged her tightly, and stroked her back.

No matter how passionate Hong Yeon-hwa may be, she still has at least a modicum of conscience.

As a parent… As a guardian, I was not a depressed Lee Ha-yool who taunted her child for falling asleep, a piece of human garbage…

So, for a moment, he put aside his lust and comforted Lee Ha-yool with only affection.

“Ha-yool is doing his best from his position, right? There’s no need to blame himself like that.”

“That’s right. Last time, I spent days making a magic tool to give to Seo-yool… Okay, good? Should I stop?”

“That child also knows your sincerity and becomes attached to you… ”

It seems that others felt the same way, and for a moment, the sticky atmosphere was put aside and everyone was busy trying to appease Lee Ha-yul.

.

.

.

Lee Ha-yool, who was somehow returned to the arms of the dinner participants and began to receive comfort.

Before I could even express my intention, my body was suddenly lifted up and placed on soft thighs.

A hand was placed on my straight back and gently stroked me.

He goes down and pats her bottom as if he were putting a baby to sleep.

As I was absentmindedly enjoying the touch, a large chest soon came out as if asking me to lean back and bury it.

As I bury myself in his chest, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, a hand comes to rest on my head and caresses it…

‘happiness…’

Lee Ha-yool sagged under the care that drove away the guilt that suddenly arose.

Not only that, but the pain I felt from the broken circuit that I had been fiddling with secretly seemed to be subsiding little by little…

“What has Unnie Jiyeon been doing since a while ago?”

“Huh? Oh, ah… That, everyone else was like that, so I didn’t know… ”

Lee Ha-yul is in the process of comfortably recovering his mind and body.

There were also some dissonances among others.

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been secretly spreading her arms like everyone else, bit Hong Yeon-hwa’s arm, feeling stung by her remark.

Hong Yeon-hwa narrowed her eyes at that sight.

“Since a while ago… Sister, you’ve been acting a bit suspicious. Last time, you made excuses like something happened and hugged me tightly, which was a bit strange. Is that manly way of doing things really right?”

“Yeonhwa, you have nothing to say about that, right? Rubbing your belly to convey the warmth of the fear… ”

“Shut up…! Shut up. The kid is going to hear some harsh words.”

“That method was just… bullshit.”

Atra, who had been quietly listening to the story, snorted.

She opened a new bottle of liquor and chugged down the entire bottle, grumbling.

“You have to take off your clothes and touch bare skin just to transmit body heat… It was weird from the start.”

“Ha! What the hell does an outsider know? Have you even read our family records? A woman who doesn’t even know is spitting on the words of the successor to the Cowardly… ”

Even superhumans get drunk.

As they were drinking expensive super-powered liquor, they got drunk and had friction that sparked things.

“Yeonhwa… Master… You shouldn’t fight… ”

“Ah, okay… Aaaah! Don’t cry. I’m sorry… ”

“It’s not a fight. It’s just… a minor difference of opinion… ”

Such friction was resolved with a single whimper from Iha.

“Pfft… ”

The sight of them suddenly sticking their tails out after having been fighting with their hair on end.

Baek A-rin, who witnessed such a shameful scene, laughed at Hong Yeon-hwa, and Rihanna laughed at Atra.

“… … ”

Atra’s eyes trembled, unable to even grit her teeth in case she made a sound.

“Hoo… ”

Then, Artra, who seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, suddenly took out new bottles of alcohol one after another from under the table.

“What is it?”

He handed one of them to Hong Yeon-hwa, who was sitting across from him.

Atra gave a rather provocative laugh to Hong Yeon-hwa, who nodded her head at the bottle of alcohol that was suddenly thrust at her.

“Not confident?”

“What?”

“Well, kid… How much has a kid drank?”

An abbreviated question with both the beginning and the end cut off.

But that unlucky smile and the upturned corners of the lips.

I could tell his intentions from the gesture of shaking the bottle.

“Not confident? Ha!”

Blatant provocation.

A sneer saying, “You’re a brat, so you can’t drink like shit.”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had let out a sigh of relief without realizing it, grabbed the bottle of alcohol that was offered to her.

“You old bastard, you have so much baseless confidence… Should I put down the bottle and get a walking stick?”

“Those who only talk the talk are the same. Can’t they show it with their actions?”

Sparks flew between the two.

Everyone blinked at the sudden, unexpected war of nerves.

.

.

.

“Ugh… ”

Thump – Hong Yeon-hwa banged her head on the table and let out a death sound.

There were countless bottles of liquor standing and rolling around on the edges of tables, underneath, near the sofas…

“Ugh… ”

Boom! The same sound rang out. Likewise, Atra’s shoulders, which had been banging their heads on the table, shook. The bottles of alcohol rolling around were the same.

The result of the chicken race between two proud women was mutual destruction.

“Sigh… ”

Rihanna, who had been watching the scene from the beginning, shook her head.

Both of them blocked the detoxification of magic power and blew the whistle, but in the end, they became a mess.

“Oh, baby? Come here.”

Rihanna, who had finished drinking her share of alcohol, hugged Lee Ha-yul in her arms.

Hong Yeon-hwa and Artra had just hung their heads, and Lee Ji-yeon, who had somehow gotten caught up in the chicken race, had also fallen asleep on the sofa.

Baek A-rin and Elia also left for a moment.

All that’s left is Rihanna and Lee Ha-yool, who is nodding her head.

“No one has any intention of cleaning it up…”

Tsk tsk Rihanna clicked her tongue and took out a vial from her bosom.

This is the hangover cure that Rihanna carries around.

Even though Rihanna is known as a heavy drinker, she still suffers from hangovers.

In order to drink cleanly and happily, it is essential to carry a precious hangover cure with you.

“Hey, baby? Ah~”

He gently lifted Lee Ha-yool’s chin, which he was holding in his arms, and pressed his cheek to open his mouth.

Although Lee Ha-yul didn’t drink alcohol, it was clear that he was drunk.

– Gulp, gulp…

I slowly sipped the expensive hangover cure.

The hangover cure that touched my pink tongue first flowed down my throat.

It was Rihanna’s warm consideration, worried that Lee Ha-yul might suffer from a hangover the next day.

Such consideration tapped into the habits that were engraved in Lee Ha-yool’s mind.

Rihanna holding herself in her arms and giving her medicine…

The feeling of it being held in my hand every time…

Lee Ha-yool’s hand, which had been still, trembled and then instinctively rose.

Soon, he grabbed the plump flesh that could not be contained in his palm with all his might.

– Kwaaak…

“Oh my…! Huh…!?”

Rihanna’s eyes opened wide as she straightened her back at the sudden, thrilling sensation.

Oh, I’ve experienced this before…
