Chapter 247 – Jealousy
The next day, the lab.
[I have sent five now.]
After checking the terse text from Marcela, I deleted the details.
Because Sylvia was coming out of the bathroom.
Approaching me with a bright face, she saw the draft of the twin swords I designed and she really liked it.
“Do it like this.”
“What do you want to highlight?”
“I hope the handle isn’t slippery. I guess I’ll have to try it myself to know the rest, but for now, I’m very satisfied.”
“Polymer is a difficult material to obtain… If you have any design requests, please let us know. Once you start making it, it’s hard to fix it. There is still a lot of time, so think about it and let me know if there is something that needs to be changed.”
“I will. But what are you doing? Why do you look so bad?”
“Me?”
“Yes. A look that could kill a person? It feels like living.”
Don’t read anything like living.
That’s where the doubts begin.
I answered with a shrug.
“Nothing happened. I’m just a little tired.”
“Okay…? Doctor, if you’ve rested this much, isn’t it time to return? Shall I call you?”
“Leave it. I’ve been running without a break so far, so I need to let him rest.”
“Isn’t that the same for you?”
“I haven’t been here in a while, but the doctor is different. You’ve been building and operating this place for a long time, haven’t you?”
Sylvia sighed at the slightly reproachful tone, and then she came out as the author.
“I know… I know, but I’m worried because you keep getting tired.”
“It’s not because I’m tired from work.”
Sylvia will know exactly what I’m talking about.
As expected, she slipped away from my gaze.
I’m curious about all the things Adele and I did, but the look on her face shows that she’s embarrassed to ask.
I asked, giggling inwardly.
“By the way, are you thinking about charging Aether? Did you know that sexual activity with someone you like is charged?”
“Muh, what… I’ll take care of that! Never mind…!”
“Monsters are appearing, but I have no choice but to be concerned.”
“Ah, I know what to do!?”
What do you know? The only person you will ever meet is me.
I don’t have the feeling of forcibly meeting a man right now because of Aether, right? So I’m going to be turtle.
That’s right, you touched my dick too.
You tried to fuck me when I was pretending to sleep in the Grand Canyon.
So don’t be angry, be a bit shy…But try to be proud.
Are you pretending you can’t help it? Just like when I touched your body then.
“Calm down. Would you like some water?”
“…. Done.”
“All right.”
Silently, I looked at the design of her twin swords again, then turned her head as Sylvia brought her ion drink and sat down on the chair next to her.
“Why?”
“I’m just going to watch it! Why?”
“Then go ahead.”
“You keep working because you are tired? Are you a workaholic?”
“Does the spectacle include small talk?”
“…..”
Sylvia became quiet as if she had nothing to say.
It looks like it’s trying to kill me.
After fiddling with the computer for about 10 minutes, I glanced at Sylvia.
She is staring at the screen where her twin swords are designed with her arms resting on the desk in front of her keyboard.
A slightly dazed expression gives another charm.
I’m not in the mood to work, and I have no intention of forcing myself to do anything…
Sylvia looks bored too… Then what’s left? Date.
I asked to turn off the monitor.
“I can’t concentrate well today. Would you like to see a movie?”
“Movie…? Where? Rest area?”
“A movie theater. I need to get out of the lab.”
“Shouldn’t I be working?”
“You said that you were workaholic earlier, but now you are talking about something else? Let’s go see it for a refreshment.”
“…Yes… That’s what.”
She’s pretending to reluctantly agree, but it’s clear that she’s quite fond of it.
I grabbed her coat from her stand-up hanger and put a hat on Sylvia’s head, who had followed her.
Then Sylvia tried to remove my hand.
“What are you doing! Fuck her hair!”
“I don’t like to be in the spotlight, so please stay still.”
“Fist?”
“You put on makeup. It’s sure to draw attention.”
It was a return of her words that she was pretty.
Sylvia, understanding what I meant, shut her mouth and lowered her hand.
I laughed lightly and went behind her, untied the back strap of her hat, and placed the back of her head on the hole in the cave.
Then, rummaging through her pockets, she pulled out Adele’s standard hair tie, tied her hair back together, and tightened the back strap again.
Her long light red hair was in a ponytail.
I, who had been tidying up the ends, continued in a passing tone.
“Don’t people usually look at you?”
“I don’t know… I’ve never been conscious of it…”
“You already have red hair like a bully, and you must have looked at me many times. You can see it popping up everywhere.”
“This is real…”
Sylvia was trying to be angry, but as soon as I grabbed her hat and directed her direction, she quickly calmed down.
“Shall we go?”
“…. Go.”
@@
Rattle!
As soon as I opened the door, there was a noise, and Adele burst out.
A hearty smile leaked from Sylvia as she looked at Adele, who was fussing around at her.
That high tension makes me feel better every time I see it.
Sorry at the same time
I want to recharge Aether to protect people as soon as possible…
The fact that she had to do it with Ji-hyeok, whom Adele loved very much, touched her guilt.
With all her heart, she wanted to find another man, but she didn’t see it at all.
Even if I force myself to look for it, I don’t even like it, but what will happen to the charge?
Leaving aside everything else, she kept thinking that she might be trying to get along with Ji-hyeok using her charging as an excuse.
Still, she felt very sorry for herself trying to get things going, and she was annoyed.
“Sister! Did you enjoy the movie?”
Movie? I couldn’t even see it properly.
Jihyeok kept pushing him to eat popcorn, but bumped his elbows.
“Yes. Did Jihyeok tell you?”
“Yes! You left me out and said a harsh word!”
He said a harsh word…
I can see Adele feeling very sad and Jihyeok restless.
I feel like I’ve committed the sin of separating two good people.
No, the sin has already been committed. I had a bad heart at the Grand Canyon and messed with Ji-hyeok’s secret place.
She herself was trash. Does this girl deserve to have Aether?
She has a beggarly heart and I don’t know if it will recharge.
Sylvia, barely suppressing her fluctuating emotions, hugged Adele tightly.
“Sorry…”
At those words, Adele patted Sylvia on the back as if she were an adult.
“It’s okay. Next time, the three of us can watch it together!”
I’m not sorry for that…
Sylvia wrapped her arms around Adele’s neck and she buried her face in her shoulder.
Sylvia, feeling the warmth of her sister’s embrace, said this impulsively and inadvertently.
“Maybe I can learn about the Rosary too?”
Then Adele gave a chorus of ‘Huh?’ And she pulled away from Sylvia.
Adele smiled broadly as her eyes widened.
She clapped her hands! And hit
“You thought so well!”
“Uh… Just a taste… Can I read the Bible first?”
“Of course! Wait…”
Adele quickly entered her room, and she brought all of her Bibles, which she had written.
Said Adele, who carefully set it down on her table.
“Even one page a day is fine! If you have any questions while reading, feel free to ask! Jihyeok currently has a transitional period, but her older sister will read Genesis first, so it won’t matter!”
Momentum is no joke.
Sylvia, who had been bewildered, nodded her head at the tension that was even higher than before.
“Yeah, yeah…”
“If you want to take a full-fledged class later, let me know!”
“Okay… Thank you.”
“I am more grateful!”
Seeing Adele cheering for her, Sylvia suddenly remembered her noble power called divine power.
Adele can use Aether’s power without borrowing it.
If she could use divine power herself, she would… She wouldn’t have to be so impatient.
But she must have faith to use that power.
She has to be chosen as a saint.
She was simply not the kind of power she could use to find a place to turn to to calm her shaky mentality and be comforted.
“I wish I did too. Didn’t I tell you to read Genesis first?”
“Yes!”
Sylvia, who walked to her table, looked at the enormous thickness of the book and stuck out her tongue, then lifted the top one.
“I’ll read it right away.”
She then returned to her room with an awkward smile.
Adele, who was looking at Sylvia’s back with a willing expression, suddenly tilted her head at her.
‘What…?’
Because she saw the red string tied around her head.
It’s disposable, and the design is common, but it’s a basic model…
When she herself sometimes bothers to tie her hair up, it was evident that Jihyeok was tying her hair.
‘Why did my sister do that…’
Adele, with a strange feeling of uneasiness, entered her room with her sprinting stride.
Then she took out her cell phone and called Jihyeok.
Two beeps passed through the street, and Jihyeok answered the phone.
-Yes, Adele.
Adele said, feeling the low, grave voice tickling her ears.
“I just… I was wondering if you went home well…”
-I told you via text message that I was going to the lab. But why are you like that?
“What…?”
-It’s a dead voice. Are you still mad?
“That’s not it… Jihyeok, did you give your sister a hair tie?”
-A hair tie? Hair tie… Uh…
Jihyeok, who had been thinking for a while, continued with a tone that reminded him of something.
-Oh, that… It was just in her pocket, so I tied it up.
What is it? Did you even tie it up?
It’s not that Sylvia doesn’t know how to tie her hair, so why!?
Adele sighed and raised her voice slightly.
“Why?”
-Yes?
“Why did you tie it up? Was she bad at tying her sister?”
-It’s not like that… It’s just… I ended up tying it up… I thought it would look good with Sylvia because it was red…
Just? Why? Do you think she would be a good fit?
He only chooses words that can cause anger.
-… I… Did I do something wrong?
Did I even do something wrong… Are you saying that now!?
Jihyeok is such an idiot! No matter how nice you are, you shouldn’t act like that!
Even if it is a habit, it must be corrected unconditionally!
Besides, who in the world would use his girlfriend’s stuff on another woman?
“Mr. Jihyeok. I’m going to the lab right now, so get ready to meet me.”
-Now? Yes, I understand.
Pop.
After coldly hanging up the phone, Adele sighed and put on her coat.
Afterwards, as she came out into the living room, she glanced at Sylvia’s door, which was firmly closed.
Sylvia is a valuable colleague whom she considers like family to her along with Ji-hyeok.
Although she thought it would be nice for the two of them to become closer, she didn’t want to be brought close by an act that could cause a strange atmosphere to bloom between a man and a woman.
“I’ll go see Jihyeok!”
Adele, who deliberately made a loud noise, left Sylvia’s front door without listening to her answer.
