Chapter 37 (2/2)
“He told me to stay here.”
“…… Miss Lian.”
“Please send me back.”
He hesitated for a while, as if hesitating on what to answer, and then barely opened his mouth.
“Luce has advanced medical science, so it may be possible to cure Miss Lian’s illness. Until then, can you stay with me?”
I don’t even know why I’m sick, how do I fix it? I was moved, but seeing the sad face on his face that looked like tears were about to fall at any moment, I couldn’t help but get angry. Who wants to cry now?
“It may sound like an excuse, but for Miss Lian… ”
“I know. I know that you’re a good person by nature, and that it’s because you care about me.”
“……… ”
“But it’s the wrong way, you weren’t like this.”
Yes? Please, but Karein averts his gaze. Not saying that he would let me go until the end made my heart flutter.
“You must have been this kind of person.”
Not even denying it.
“…… I will go.”
I hope we don’t see each other for a while, I don’t want to be mad at you. He groaned and turned around. Still, it seems that I did not want to pour out my anger in front of him, because he was once my favorite character. Leaving behind Karein, who was hardened like a stone, I headed for the room. I needed time.
When I returned to the room with a huff and puff, the clothes and belongings I wore were neatly laid out on the bed. As for my belongings, it would be nothing but emergency herbs and pendants I carried with me just in case. I glanced at them intently and threw them on the table,
“Ack!”
I screamed unknowingly as the black thing bounced off my clothes. It looked just like a balloon half blown out of the wind. Did I have this? With the hairpin on the dressing table, I poked it from a distance, and when I poked it, it moved.
“…… No way, Wazowski?”
When I pick it up in awe, it droops like an ice cream that melts in the sun. When did you come along? As soon as I remove the tangled red thread, one big eye bursts open.
“How did you get here?”
It’s dangerous if you’re here. I rolled my eyes and looked at the robe it was wearing. It was black, so it didn’t look like it was visible even if it was attached to me. It’s so nice to see the only black color with all the bright colors that hurt my eyes.
Are you worried that you followed me? How nice. I stroked the bouncy body and rubbed it’s face. It couldn’t speak, but it seemed like it was having a lot of trouble.
…… how did we get like this? I hugged it tightly and cried. On my trembling shoulders, even with it’s large one-eyed, it was filled with tears. That day, Wazowski cried and I cried too.

‘You dare steal my woman? I’ll chew on your gold teeth and eat you.’
‘I don’t have gold teeth.’
‘This bastard!’
I had a dog dream In the morning, I woke up from a dream that was vivid about Abel’s wrath. Sweat was dripping all over my body. It’s too hot. I felt like I was going crazy because of the sunlight pouring in from morning to midday. Still, like a bustling city, the water supply was good, so taking a cold shower was better.
“He, hello?”
When I came out, brushing my wet hair, a fairy was arranging my clothes.
“I am Vivina, who will be in charge of Miss Lian’s attending. I look forward to working with you!”
It was a very pretty fairy with blue wings. Oh, nice to meet you. I’m Lian. When I asked for a handshake, she panicked, wiped her hand on her clothes, and hesitated to shake hands. While the Fairy finished organizing my clothes, I put on my original clothes.
It’s embarrassing that there’s even a dedicated maid. So she’s talking in my room, right? I looked anxiously under the blanket where Wajowski was hiding. If it had entered Assand’s ears that I was carrying the evil spirit Wazowski… Ugh, I shook my head at the terrible imagination.
“Where are you uncomfortable?”
“No, nothing.”
How should I keep my mouth shut? I’m restless. Can I get you some cold tea? I saw Vivina bringing a teacup. But the act of pouring tea is awkward.
“…… Ah!”
Just as I was about to grab it, a pair of arms protruded from under Vivina’s sleeves and supported the teacup.
“Ah, sorry!!!”
Butterflies also belong to the insect family, so it’s not surprising that she has four arms, but suddenly Vivina trembled and fell to the ground. Her droopy wings fluttered.
“That, that was a mistake. Sorry! Sorry!”
Why, what? Why! I was even more startled by the violent reaction, and reflexively grabbed the blanket – with Wazowski in it -. Calm down and speak, verbally. She closed her eyes in anxiety and continued. Vivina was the first to speak.
“Are, aren’t you offended? You, you’re human… ”
Vivina, now wet with her tears, hid her two arms behind her back and spoke, and I understood what she meant. However, it was usually the opposite in Lemda Village. I used to not express it because I was afraid they would be offended if I was surprised by the appearance of a monster, but is Luce different? Curious, Vivina stuttered.
“…… I thought humans would be offended by this appearance. Because the lady hated it very much. So I tied my arms on purpose, but I was in a hurry so I didn’t know… … ”
The female lead? Staring at the pair of forcibly tied arms, I was skeptical for a moment, but when I first met the monster, I remembered that I hated it, and ignored it. It could be if she’s just been possessed. Well, maybe that will change soon.
“It’s okay in front of me. Instead, Vivina, please keep one secret of mine.”
Really? Really? don’t tell anyone? She nodded her head confidently until she said her promise over and over again, and then she jumped and jumped in surprise.
“Ah, it’s a demon!!!”
“It’s my friend.”
“Well, but if the priests know… !”
If you don’t tell, they won’t know, keep it a secret, Okay? Yes? How harmless and kind you are! Do you keep looking at it because it’s cute? At the end of such a long period, Vivina nodded her head reluctantly with eyes that could not hide her fear, and Wazowski cried alone in the blanket today as well.
