Chapter 36 – 29-3. A Carefree Weekend?
“Oh, the house is nice? Some people live on pocket money, but some people have already succeeded.”
A splendid mansion. I was surprised that Maros, the Golden Sun, had a mansion of this size.
Neat and colorful decorations. The furniture is quite high-end, with soft sofas and even monster leather carpets on the floor.
Allen admires Maros’s mansion, which is more luxurious than her home’s.
“Uh, over there… Older sister.”
“It’s not my sister, it’s my brother.”
“Yes? What is that…”
As Allen sits in a luxurious wooden chair and takes off his wig, Maros is speechless with an absurd expression on his face.
“Uh… Uh… Uh… What… Was it a man?”
“Yes. Do you have any complaints?”
“Oh, no! I’m not complaining…!”
“What’s the antidote?”
“Yes. The sister I brought in now has been prescribed so that there will be no aftereffects, so she will come to her senses soon.”
“You don’t die gracefully if you do stupid tricks?”
“Yes, four. Of course! How dare I say that I am safe…!”
Maros, the golden sun, crawls and reacts violently to Allen’s words, wiping the sweat that flows naturally.
“Rather than that… I learned alchemy by myself. That’s the most amazing thing to me, isn’t it?”
“Ah, that’s…”
“Anyway, if you lie because of the spell, your heart will hurt.”
“I’m really self-taught! It’s true!”
Maros spit on her, showing her her books and library, telling her the truth, and Allen was amazed.
Anyway, I knew that Maros wasn’t lying because of the oath of the heart inscribed in the spell.
“Okay. Well, I’m sure you’ll believe me when you say that. How old are you? No. How old are you?”
“I have been in alchemy for 20 years this year, and I am…”
Upon hearing Maros’ age, Allen looked surprised and doubted his ears.
‘Isn’t it…? A year younger than me…?’
“…What? Now what?”
“Yes? 20 years of experience…”
“No no. Are my ears weird right now… I’m sure my age…? I, where are my ears weird… Did I hear something wrong?”
“Even if you look like this, you’re a fresh adult… Is that even a problem?”
Allen tried to match the golden sun Maros’ appearance and adult age, but she didn’t match at all… At all.
‘Is this bastard Guracina? It’s not. Wouldn’t it hurt enough to roll on the ground if I lied?’
“Are you so damn skinny?”
“Hehe! I suffered a lot.”
“But she taught herself alchemy even before she grew up?”
“Yes. I thought it would be better for an orphan like me to study for a living than to be caught stealing and beaten to death.”
Most orphans without parents choose a job that will accompany their lives in order to survive in the world.
Among them, those who hate learning and aim for a quick fortune all choose adventurers.
Maros was different.
“Thank you for the compliment, nu… No, brother!”
Calling me an older brother with a look that doesn’t suit his age… I feel embarrassed.
“Maros.”
“Yes, big brother. What do you want me to do? Women? Money? Connections?”
“That’s enough. Are you making a name for yourself at the Royal Casino?”
“Even if I’m like this, I’m a VVIP!”
“Then that… That… What was it? Ah, yes! Daros? Danos? Do you know a dealer named?”
“Are you referring to the Daos guy?”
“Oh! Yeah! Daos bastard!”
When I say the name Daos, Allen agrees.
“Has Daos done anything rude to you?”
“Why? Will you avenge me?”
“I’m your faithful subordinate now, so I…”
“It’s okay. That’s not my taste. And revenge is best done with my own hands.”
“Then why Daos?”
“I’m going to play a game with that bastard the day after tomorrow.”
“Hyung-nim playing games with Daos?”
“What’s wrong?”
When I heard that I was playing a game with Daos, Maros, the golden sun, looked at me with a slightly worried look and started talking.
“It’s better to quit now. Daos guy. What kind of backstabbing have you had these days? In the past, a guy who would kill himself just by listening to me has been messing around.”
“Are you messing around?”
“Yes. Originally at the Royal Casino, he was also a good guy and didn’t have a bad personality, but recently he’s been weird.”
“Hmm… Backside… Have you checked it out?”
“I’ve been investigating since the day it got weird, but I couldn’t step on its tail.”
Again, there was no response to the spell. It seems that what you just said is not a lie.
“Anyway… I also need to have a bigger client or a back ship to distribute drugs…”
“Maros. You also have a strong back now, right?”
“Huh? A sudden sound like a fat?”
“Even if I look like this, I’m the second son of a marquis family.”
“Huh, is the marquis going?”
Upon hearing the rank of Marquis, Maros’ tanned face turns blue.
“Among them, he’s the son of a fairly famous family.”
“Mo, I’m sorry I didn’t know…!”
“It’s okay. Just feel free to call me hyung.”
“That, is that okay? I’m a commoner and my older brother is.”
Blasphemy.
A commoner must show respect and courtesy to a person of a higher rank than himself, even if it is a newborn child.
In the past, tongues were cut and tendons in wrists and ankles were cut, punishing them to crawl without being able to speak for the rest of their lives, but times have changed, and now they are punished by tearing out their naughty mouths.
“It’s okay, kid.”
Maros was bewildered, but he wasn’t stupid enough to kick any opportunity that came his way.
It’s already been 20 years since I rolled in the back alley.
Maros, who is not only smart and has gone through all the battles in childbirth, does not miss this opportunity and internally likes it. Maros, who slams his head into the carpet with a loud voice and a powerful posture, is thrilled that he is getting a strong support force this time.
“I’ll call you brother from now on!”
“Bastard. It’s good that you’re greedy. Anyway, you and I are on the same boat since we even engraved the spell. Right?”
“Yes, brother!”
‘Shota is perfect for the role of a younger brother who follows the older brother he respects… I’m the Golden Sun.’
Still, Allen liked Maros inside her.
Savory pocket money. Even the effort of studying alchemy by self-study. There is no bonanza like this, but it was strange that I liked him unexpectedly.
“Ask me if you have any difficulties in the future.”
“Yeah! Hyung-nim, if something happens to me!”
“Yes. In that sense, we…”
Bang!!!
“Cypaal! Is Maros safe!?”
When Allen and Maros were about to shake hands lightly.
Familiar voice. A familiar bearded man kicks the door and screams at someone in bondage.
“You crazy bastard! What are you doing!?”
“Are you okay, Maros! Don’t worry, I’ve taken hostages! Come here quickly!”
The bearded man takes Cordelia, who is half awake, and Cordelia, who has not yet fully regained consciousness, hostage and beckons his friend Maros to come here.
“Tongue, brother! This is really not my intention! Trust me!”
“What are you doing, you idiot! Come here quickly!?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. More than that, that friend seems loyal.
“Tongue, older brother!! I will accept my friend’s sins sweetly, so please! You’re a bastard who runs away, making excuses all the time, but he’s still my friend! Please be generous!!”
Allen rose from her chair and sat back down, gesturing lightly to the bearded man holding her Cordelia hostage.
“What is that idiot doing again? Hey, Maros!
“This is… Where else?”
At that moment, with the sound of bones breaking, the bearded man collapsed with teeth and blood spattering from his mouth.
“Are you awake?”
Allen puts on her wig and looks at Cordelia.
“I have no idea what the situation is. Explain…”
Cordelia’s words suddenly stopped when she asked me about the situation after sending her bearded man away with her carefree magic, and her face soon turned red.
“Oh, let’s stop shopping today. Arren! Come over here quickly.”
“Okay. I’m leaving for today, see you later.”
“Ah, yes…! Then go carefully, brother.”
Greeting her in her quiet voice, Allen follows Cordelia as she leaves first.
“Get your mind on, you bastard!”
“D, Di Geum Musun Niri, are you going to…? (What just happened?)”
“Sir… I’m glad you’re alive. Out there! Bring me a potion quickly!”
****
“Oh, today’s work is not my will…”
Cordelia tried to deny it with her squirming hands and a poor excuse that today’s outdoor play was not of her own will.
“I know. I scolded them for what they did.”
‘Thank you… Arren.”
She decided to hit it off for once.
Even though she was in heat anyway, she was purely expressing her desire… Now there were only two days left, and she denied it here, but she didn’t want to extend the period for nothing.
More than anything… She was so cute with Cordelia trying to excuse herself that she just moved on.
“But what are we doing now?”
“Huh? Oh, come to think of it, it’s still…”
“Since we still have free time, shall we go around?”
“Yes. Then.”
The hands of the central clock tower struck six, but it was not yet sunset.
So we wandered around a little more, ate snacks, watched the occasional performance, had dinner, and went out, and the sky was colored by the sunset.
“Then shall we go soon?”
“…”
While being silent at Allen’s words to go slowly, Cordelia took the hand of a boy younger than her and headed somewhere.
‘Deja vu? What? What?’
Again, a park where there are few people without knowing why… No, at this time of day, people are sitting on benches or walking in the park… There were quite a few couples.
‘Ah. I was going to have a round there earlier.’
“Arren.”
“Yes, Sister Cordelia.”
“Park… Let’s take a walk.”
Did he drag me all the way to the park to say this?
But Allen doesn’t say anything.
Because I was fascinated by Cordelia’s dazzling figure with her back to the night sky following the sunset… At this moment, nothing else came into view except her.
“Today…It’s pretty…”
“Uh, yes… Thank you.”
Cordelia replied shyly to Allen’s words that jumped out without his knowledge, and the two of them held hands and slowly walked through the park looking up at the starry sky.
