Chapter 38 Part 1 (1/2)

“Does time pass differently?”

Does that make sense? I was so surprised that I dropped a teaspoon at Vivina’s words.

“I heard that time slows down in the Dark Age,” she said. A day in the underground is like three days in Luce.”

Somehow, I had just woken up, but I was busy. I thought of Saint Lucia, who I had not seen her nose since yesterday.

Considering the time it took until Dark Lord heard the news, it seemed that the original story had actually started for quite some time. As long as Karein and Assand couldn’t help either, I’d rather have Abel come, but she was embarrassed by the unexpected difficulty.

“Have you been in the Dark Age until now, Miss Lian?”

Vivina asked, slicing the crunchy fruit. She seems very good at slicing apple-like fruits with her two hands and pouring tea with her other two hands. Yes, her eyes widened as I nodded my head.

“Oh my God, in that rough place…… Sir Karein managed to come back alive, did he save him?”

“It’s the opposite. I was kidnapped.”

“Yes? By whom? What’s your relationship with Sir Karein? Perhaps… ”

“I have a lover.”

After working with Lucia for a few days, she asks the same question without a mistake. Do, do you have a lover? For the second time, she continued her words as she looked at me tremblingly astonished.

“But Karein brought me here. Now, honestly, I’m more worried about Karein’s health.”

“…… That’s ridiculous. He’s not like that, my god… !”

I thought so too! Until the moment I was kidnapped, I never thought he was that kind of person, but she has changed. When did he become a thoughtless man like this? The more I think, the stiffer the back of my neck becomes.

“Abel might kill Karein.”

“…… Abel? Where did I hear that a lot… ?”

Abel, Abel. Vivian’s continuous muttering and eyes suddenly turned to Wazowski, who was enjoying a cold pack on its forehead on my lap, and “No way!” Vivina jumped up and ran into my face as if she was grabbing me by the collar.

“Abel the reaper?!”

“Yes. right.”

Oh my god! When I abruptly affirms, she lets out a squeaky scream and walks over, she spits out her words like a flood.

“I think Sir Karein deserves to kidnap you! I’d rather have that crazy guy’s nose stuck! Do you know how bad the rumors are? A ruthless, emotionless, cruel monster that even the gods fear!”

“…… Not necessarily. Would you like to meet him?”

“No! I still have a lot of work I want to do!”

I don’t want to die yet, Nuh-uh. She said it was too scary and grabbed my hand and cried all the time, but it felt so strange. Among ordinary monsters, Abel seems terrifying. In my eyes, it’s just normal

Luce was only daylight all day. With two sizzling suns, it was as bright during the night as daytime. It’s called too much. Photosynthesis is also photosynthesis. Rather, the dark dark age was a hundred times better.

It feels like being exposed to the scorching heat of the desert all day. I realized why the monsters here were all wearing long-sleeved priest robes and wooden clogs. The stinging of the skin was worse than the heat.

“It’s too hot.”

My body droops like a sloth. As far as I am concerned, Wazowski flailed almost like a snowman in the sun. It is common to have to remove the red thread that sticks red even after a couple of hours.

“Are you okay? It will be even more so when you come from the Dark Age.”

It was like that when I first came to Luce. Vivina, who replaced the ice pack on Wazowski’s forehead and brought me ice-cold tropical juice, hesitated for a moment, then she said.

“… In fact, I can’t even sleep well.”

Why? Don’t butterflies really like light? I thought as I placed my hand on my hot head. It’s too hot, and my mind is hazy.

“Because I am a moth mixed race, I have a habit of getting excited when I see the light. It’s so hard to take the inhibitors.”
