Chapter 181 – The Witch’s Beast to the Saint #4
Rattle!
The passenger door opened, and Adele got into the car, wearing a boxy light purple sweatshirt, light-colored jeans with a slightly wide hem, and white trainers.
I have seen it somewhere and even put the hat on the side to give a point.
It fit quite well. A perfect coordination for the lively Adele image.
It gave off a very active feeling, and it was especially cute that the sleeves of the overfit man-to-man slightly covered the bottom of the palm.
I asked when Adele’s fingernails were painted white as she fastened her seatbelt.
“Did you do your nails?”
“Yes! How about it?”
She’s bending her fingers like a cat and showing her to me.
The shape of her crescent-shaped eyes is so pretty.
Ah… Is it normal to want to eat? Would that be normal?
“You are pretty. What about Sylvia? Are you at home?”
“I went to the shop. You look at my nails and say you want to do them too, right? It’s a great book.”
“Okay.”
“But you asked if dawn was okay. Is it five o’clock in the afternoon?”
It seemed that he would call at dawn, so it meant why he had come now.
I replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
“I have a headache.”
“At that time, all you have to do is pray!”
No. If I pray, I think I’ll get a headache that I didn’t have.
“Of course, I also prayed. So it got a little better.”
“As expected, be a believer! Good job!”
“Thank you. Shall we go?”
“Yes!”
Smiling heartily, I started the car.
Adele, still admiring the surroundings, tilted her head as the car pulled into an unfamiliar road.
“Uh? Mr Jihyeok! You got the wrong way!”
“It is the right way.”
“Yes? Study Café is not here.”
“I’m not going to the study cafe today.”
“Then where are you going?”
“It’s a lab.”
At that, Adele’s eyes widened.
“The lab…?”
“The headquarters, to be exact. Beast Slayer Headquarters.”
Match!
An unexpected sound effect.
Surprised, I glanced to her side to see Adele with her hands on both cheeks and her mouth wide open.
“Wow…!”
The look on his face is shocking. I was so happy to see it that I felt like I was slapping myself on the cheek.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes! I love it! Finally… Finally, we can enter the non-aggression zone!”
It’s an inviolable territory… Just like what he just did, the more you really know him, the more he’s a bit of an idiot.
So better.
“If you have such high expectations, you may be disappointed. So calm down.”
“I can’t calm down…! Jihyeok, give me that candy! Mint candy that relieves tension!”
Watching Adele make a fuss about her, I sighed and opened the console box to reveal her candy tin.
Adele smiles, picks up the candy can, opens it, puts one in her mouth, and asks.
“Do you want to eat Jihyeok too?”
“I’m done.”
“Don’t do that, eat it. Let’s cool down together!”
Adele said as she held out the candy.
I flinched to pick up the candy with my hand, then just opened my mouth slightly.
Then Adele put the candy in her mouth.
Natural behavior. I looked at Adele in her room mirror.
Even in such a trivial situation, you can get a hint about the relationship between men and women.
But Adele was so kind, cheerful, and so four-dimensional that it was hard to figure out.
That bashful smile now is also the expression Adele often makes.
If she hesitated or talked about anything, even for a moment, it would have been easy for her to read my mind… It was a pity.
‘I’ll just have to keep going like this.’
Still, one thing is certain, that the crush on me is building up one by one.
That’s enough.

Pushik-!
As the huge door opened left and right, a laboratory in the basement of Eunpyeong-gu was revealed.
Her tight-knit Adele opened her mouth as soon as she saw her lab hall.
“Wow…!”
“Go in.”
“Yes, four…!”
Adele moved her hesitantly to her steps.
She looked around the entire lab with her hands clasped together.
While I was manipulating the panel near her entrance, I called her after watching Adele poking around her.
“Adele.”
“What!?”
She is astounded as if she has seen her ghost.
Laughing at her, I motioned for her to come over.
As Adele drew closer, I pointed at a fairly large scanner with a faint red glow.
“Go in front of this light.”
“Why?”
“What did I do when I entered the lab?”
“Um… I held her head up. So the door was open. I was very curious…”
“It was a biometric scan. The machine read my registered information and gave me permission to enter the lab. I want Adele to be able to come in here at any time, just like me.”
Adele’s eyes shone brightly.
“Really!?”
“Yes. Of course you should do this. Nothing will happen, so don’t worry.”
Adele hurriedly shook her head, swallowed her saliva, and stood in front of her scanner.
And then ask
“Can I move?”
“No.”
“All right!”
With her posture at attention, I saw her without even a slight movement, bursting into laughter at her, and operated her scanner.
Wheein-! After a while, the red light read Adele’s whole body along with the sound of screaming.
Beep-!
A short, cheerful alarm sounded through the hall of the laboratory.
I closed the panel again and said.
“It’s done.”
“Uh… Is it over?”
“Yes. Go out and come in.”
“What if I can’t come back?”
“Nothing like that. If so, I can open it from the inside.”
“Come with me! The hallways are dark and I’m scared!”
Did you light it up with that golden divine power?
I answered yes and left the lab with Adele.
Afterwards I had her stand in front of her and raise her head towards her scanner on her ceiling.
OK,
[Biometric authentication has been completed.]
An emotionless mechanical sound was heard and the door opened.
“Wow!!”
Was it because they were officially registered with the lab?
She was delighted by calling her hurray, but soon looked back at me and bowed her head.
“Thank you, Jihyeok! I am a full-fledged warrior now!”
“…..”
“Why?”
“No, no. Shall we study?”
“Please introduce yourself first! I want to know everything about this headquarters.”
Yes, it was necessary.
Because Adele, full of curiosity, will try to touch things she shouldn’t touch.
After you’re done, she’ll have Adele guide you when she brings Sylvia to her lab.
I introduced Adele to every corner of the lab for quite a long time, and ended up at the production table where the device was being made.
Adele showed great interest in the device being built.
With her hands in her lap and her upper body bent, she gazed at the finished device’s skeleton, then turned her head.
A clean face with no blemishes, dyed with curiosity. I want to pull those thick cheeks right now.
“Jihyeok, this is what we will be using…”
“Right. It is a device.”
“Can’t you touch it?”
“Not now.”
At my firm answer, Adele let his shoulders droop.
Then, if you have a question, clap your hands and ask.
“Mr. Jihyeok! I have a question.”
“Please speak.”
“Device charging method! Now tell me!”
Nope. It’s an area that you can’t handle right now.
At least he’ll tell you when he thinks of me as the opposite sex.
I immediately changed the topic.
“I’ll let you know when I’m done. I have about an hour left, shall we study now?”
“Ha, an hour? Is that all you can do?”
“Why? Are you lacking?”
“Time is not important. All you need is faith. But… I’m a little disappointed…”
“Why are you sorry?”
“It’s just…”
Adele kicks her foot while watching the lab floor.
What you do is so cute
I let out a long, shallow sigh and asked Adele, who was feeling sorry for me.
“Shall we postpone work?”
At that, Adele raised her head, but then she immediately sulked again.
And then, subtly, he scolds me.
“No… You said it was important. I wish I could have called you in the morning…”
“That’s when I’m sleepy and can’t concentrate.”
“Even so… Ahh…”
Adele let out a cute sigh and said in a low voice.
“I’ll be in the break room… Bring the Bible…”
“All right.”
**
On the way back to Uijeongbu after class.
Adele tried to pre-learn what I needed to learn by saying that I had to study even in the car, but he stopped thinking about something.
“I must have been too zealous… I’m sorry.”
Adele puts her hand between his legs and apologizes.
I responded with a smile instead.
She asked, who became lively again at my reaction.
“Are you going to study tomorrow too? Shall I go to the lab?”
“No. I’ll go to your house in the evening. Tomorrow at the study cafe.”
“I’m fine. Oh, and I didn’t see the doctor today… Where did you go?”
Ask quickly
“You are not feeling well. You said you were resting at home.”
“Aha… Did you catch a cold?”
No. It’s because my crotch hurts.
It’s going to be like that today too.
“I do not know. I don’t know that far.”
“Will you get angry if I contact you?”
“I will never do that. It just seems like a good way to get some rest.”
“You are right. I’ll do that. Indeed, Mr. Jihyeok.”
“Yes.”
“What kind of food does Jihyeok hate the most?”
“Food? I don’t really have anything to cover… What about Adele?”
“I go! I hate it!”
“Have you tried it?”
“No.”
When I talk to Adele, there are times when I suddenly run out of energy.
Now is the time. When I answer such an absurd answer, my body naturally stretches.
No, maybe it’s because I don’t like the way it looks.
Shaking my head quickly to come to my senses, I said.
“You haven’t tried it, but you don’t like it?”
“Yes! I hate it because it looks like the tasteless vegetables I ate as a kid.”
Right. After all, you should listen to Korean until the end.
Still, it’s too much for Gaji. I like it because it looks like a cock.
“Don’t be picky. I am not tall.”
Adele was furious.
She clenched both of her fists and lifted me up and shouted at her exhale.
“What!? Is that average height? 163!”
“Yes, you would.”
To my reaction, which was mixed with a little sneer, Adele rummaged through her candy box and popped three candies into her mouth.
Then he blows out her nose and chews on her teeth.
I think I touched a complex. I sincerely apologized.
“I apologize if you felt offended. I’m sorry.”
At that, her Adele’s eyes softened considerably.
“It’s okay. Because I was short, people treated me like a child. So I’m a little sensitive. Please be careful next time.”
Well… I don’t think he was treated that way because he was short…
“All right. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“So thank you very much to Sylvia and Jihyeok. You see me as an adult. Oh, of course I like Dr. Sehwa too. I also want to meet YuRia soon…”
“Ms. YuRia is busy these days… But I will make sure to meet her sooner or later.”
“I know. Thank you.”
After talking about this and that, the car arrived in Uijeongbu.
As they cautiously pull over in front of the outbuilding, Adele unbuckles her seat belt and she speaks.
“See you tomorrow.”
“I’m really sorry about the key story. I said it because I like petite women.”
“You said you would be careful, so I’ll forget about it! Hee hee… Goodbye!”
“Yes, please go in.”
After saying her goodbyes, Adele got out of her car and headed for the front door with her sprinting stride.
Stepping on the accelerator, I moved away from the annex and checked Adele’s reaction in the room mirror.
Until now, he showed his interest subtly, and now he has openly expressed it, but will he notice?
Slowly moving away from Adele, I grinned as she looked up at the back of her car as she was typing her password.
‘I noticed.’
She had her hand over her mouth.
I couldn’t see my eyes due to the distance, but that was definitely a surprised reaction as I pondered over what I had said.
It’s a good reaction. It’ll be fun starting tomorrow.
