Chapter 6 (1/2)
“Aack!”
I was thinking of staying by the bedside until he fell asleep because I told him I wasn’t going to go, but this fool seemed to have a different idea.
Hey you! I screamed while being pulled to my bed, but I was blocked by the cold arms that encircled me. Don’t go, you’re warm. I thought as I listened to some murmur.
Did he have a lack of affection? I tried to force myself to think of his character narrative, but it was a long time ago, so I couldn’t remember it properly. It wasn’t just that he became a reaper because he wanted it, and I only remembered that all the characters he loved had died.
However, the female lead, Saintess Lucia, is the only one who does not die even though Abel has a crush on her, so he falls in love with her. That would be the case but also because the female lead was an immortal without a red thread connected to [Solar], the sun of life, because she came from a different world.
“……human.”
So maybe I am immortal here too? As soon as such thoughts passed, I came to my senses to a low voice.
Human, human. I put my hand on his forehead because it was strange to say something like he had a fever.
The heat boils. As Abel, who usually had a very low body temperature, it was very serious.
But the invisible inner wound. Therefore, it cannot be cured if the red thread has penetrated to the inside. Anxiously using the classic technique of placing my cold hand on his head, Abel murmured again. In the meantime, he held my wrist tightly.
“……Don’t disappear.”
I looked absurdly at the unexpected words, but even in his unstable breath, his red-eyed red eyes were looking straight at me.
Why, because you and I are connected?
Abel didn’t respond to my joking questions. I guess so. I convinced him roughly and continued to sweep his back. Then Abel said vaguely.
“Don’t leave me. I won’t get hurt……”
“Don’t worry.”
I suddenly felt sorry for him, who muttered with his red eyes dimly open in gibberish and fever, so I answered without realizing.
“Just hang in there……Yes, there will be someone who will save you.”
“……Save?”
“Yeah. So, if you meet her, be good to her. Don’t take the bed and be honest as you do to me right now.”
Understand? All right?
He kept holding me like a lifeline. As he looked up at my urging words, he slowly nodded. Silver hair, shining pale like his skin texture, flowed down my eyes.
I thought he was asleep and tried to get out of him, but his tight grip didn’t show any signs of releasing.
Oh, really! He is just ignorant! It seems that I was struggling and gave up without knowing and fell asleep.

“Oh, Abel? Miss Lian?”
The next day, seeing us sleeping tightly, Karein was in horror to wake us up. Abel can’t remember yesterday, why am I in bed with this woman? I thought he would growl, but he wasn’t surprised or unpleasant.
He laughed languidly, and said,
“Ah, I’ve had a hot night after a while, and I’m feeling relaxed.”
You crazy!
In front of the people who ran in horror, there was a scene where a ‘human woman’ shut the reaper’s mouth shut.

After that day, Abel’s attitude changed strangely.
“Lord Abel is looking for you.”
“Lord Abel is.”
“Lord Abel.”
“Ah why do you keep calling me! Are you not busy?”
When I couldn’t stand it, I shouted and protested, raising my eyebrows as if asking him why.
After that day, whatever wind blew, Abel didn’t go outside and sat in his office and started working for papers on something.
“Do you have a temple job?”
“Of course. Interaction with other temples is important.”
I asked suspiciously, and Karein gave an answer, like explaining to a child.
Anyway, I liked the fact that he was stuck in the office, refusing to soul hunt. He didn’t get hurt, so I didn’t have to act as his first aid kit, and I was happy he was relieved of suffering. But,
“Why on earth should I be here?”
I couldn’t even figure out why I had to be locked up in this office. What strange wind blows, and he calls me into the office and feeds all kinds of delicious food. They are cakes and macaroons, and they also serve the hard-to-find cacagu juice.
