79 – Awareness (4)
“Jju… Mr. Juyin… !”
Only the sound of the embarrassed peony filled the room. Of course, even in that embarrassment, there was a feeling of joy and excitement that I couldn’t control.
Her face blushed and she moved to get out as if she was embarrassed, but in the end, Peony gave in to the master’s hand around her waist and quietly wrapped her arms around the master’s neck.
In fact, considering her strength, getting away from Master Moriarty would have been easier than breaking her needle.
Sherlock remembered how during their last meeting, that abominable wolf cub had made a hole in an old tree with just a punch.
He was truly a shameless and naive wolf cub. It was like half a penny. It wasn’t as bad as Watson, but it was something that people who go around shaking their breasts in a vulgar way would do.
Of course, while each person was in a state of confusion, only James Moriarty was calmly observing the student who came to him.
Subtly, she felt Peony’s chest touch her ear, but she had no emotion. He was clearly a person who lived a monk-like life.
Although it was not as good as Watson’s, the peony also grew and matured in many ways, so it felt like a huge cushion was covering her head.
Of course, for Moriarty, it was nothing more than a soft feeling.
Moriarty herself did not know whether this was due to her innate nature or because she had bigger concerns at hand. Of course, it wasn’t a major issue.
It was definitely fun to watch the expression and reaction of my beloved student, who seemed embarrassed and a little angry for some reason.
“You are vulgar, sir. “He’s vulgar in front of customers.”
“It’s been a while since you’ve been here and you’re always saying harsh things, Holmes. Peony is the child I have raised since childhood. You could also say that she is like a daughter to me. “What is she thinking?”
“Teacher, of course you will. “I know, I don’t have any feelings.”
Of course, I knew straight away that the teacher was not that kind of person, and that she simply did it to provoke herself. For some reason, I felt bad, but I thought that was because emotions are inherently inefficient.
Teachers can be trusted. But it wasn’t the wolf that would mistake its location.

That is why Holmes emphasized. Of course, my gaze was still fixed on the lowly wolf cub, who was busy gratifying himself in this important meeting.
I had no choice but to emphasize the fact once again.
“But I think you need to take proper care of your pet. It looks like he’s in heat, so he’s acting shallow. “My master doesn’t care, but he’s being mean to himself. Please stop him.”
“Gr- heh! Jju-juuneeu… …. hahahaha…… Phew! hehehe… Sigh!”
I wanted to ridicule the lowly wolf that was in heat in order to make sure he knew his location. And Moran was not unaware of the ridicule.
So once again the wolf tried to show his teeth at the intruder who came to his nest. However, she could not help but be embarrassed by the sudden gag, and Sherlock, who was watching, could not help but chew her lip without realizing it.
At that moment, Moriarty quickly pinched Moran’s mouth and inserted his finger into her mouth, as if gagging her. It simply didn’t end there.
Moving her fingers, she immediately began teasing the inside of Moran’s mouth as if playing with her. Moran tried to say something, but soon all she could do was let out an unpleasant moan to Holmes.
“Ah… ….”
Once he decided she had calmed down, Moriarty pulled her finger out without hesitation. Peony, who had been sucking and savoring her master’s fingers without even realizing it just a moment ago, let out a small sigh as if she was regretful.
Moran’s saliva dribbled out of her mouth and onto her clothes, and Moriarty turned to Holmes, wiping her thready fingers clean with her handkerchief.
She seemed to have lost strength or calmed down, and Moran had quietly leaned closer to her, so she was now able to talk. It was a little difficult for her to dig into the peonies, as if her excitement had not yet subsided, but she was better than going on a rampage trying to kill Holmes.
Of course, this provocation may have been too effective for Holmes.
“Now… “What are you doing with me in front of you, teacher?”
“Because your relationship with Moran is not good, I needed to appease you in advance. But you can’t do this, Holmes, can you?”
“Tsk.”
“So? As you can see, I am a patient, Holmes. “What brought the patient here like this?”
Moriarty gave her a subtle glance and pointed her finger at her own neck. Her doctor’s actions had bandaged her for now, but her pale bruises were etched into the shape of her palm like a scar.
Seeing that scene, Holmes couldn’t help but think back to the nightmare that had happened the previous evening, and he made an effort to open his mouth in a calm manner.
“For all that, I’m glad you look fine. “If anyone were to see her, they wouldn’t know it was someone who was just a stone’s throw away from her death.”
“Yes, indeed…” Too bad. “It could have ended like this in a really fun way.”
“Ugh!”
For Moriarty, these were her sincere words. In fact, the words did not contain any special meaning, but were simply uttered with the intention of calmly stating the truth.
That’s why I couldn’t understand Holmes’s shocked attitude at that moment. If you don’t know something, admit your ignorance and try to find out.
This was the natural attitude of a smart person, and Moriarty couldn’t help but raise one of her eyebrows and ask.
“Why are you doing this, Holmes?”
“… You are… …. I almost died yesterday. That… “But you’re okay?”
It was an incomprehensible question.
Moriarty let out a sigh as one of her hands tickled her Peony’s chin, who was now fully lying on her own lap like a baby, nuzzling her face against her own chest. I rested.
“I don’t understand. Well, I can admit my resentment for almost losing yesterday, because I would too. But, Holmes, do you have any reason to worry about me?”
“… As I said then, life is precious. “No matter how much you are, it’s not right to play with people’s lives like that.”
“It seems like a joke because you said that.”
I didn’t mind Moriarty’s ridicule.
In fact, it was just an excuse that Holmes himself came up with to divert his words. Fortunately, Mr. Moriarty had some similarities with Holmes himself.
It was natural.
The world was spinning only for the confrontation between him and that man, and it was fate. There was no third party there.
For example, like that horny wolf who is still looking up at the teacher with hazy eyes.
“You would understand, right? Of course, because of my position as a detective, I can’t do that openly. Ah, in that context, your question just now makes sense. “But it’s between us, so why don’t we just admit it, Holmes?”
“What?”
“Most things in this world are not fun. It’s literally no different from hell for people like us to just live in. That’s why this game is important to us, isn’t it?”
“But… “Wasn’t the teacher’s actions an act of giving up on the game itself?”
“If you thought that way, you wouldn’t have come to me. You see, yesterday I came closer to complete victory than I have ever come before. Would you understand? “For that, I can give up everything else.”
“Master… …. “I promised yesterday-“
“Moran, you promised. And now I’m talking.”
Moran, who was secretly dissatisfied with the master’s words, tried to intervene. However, even as he stroked his cheek, he could not help but shrink from the cold gaze looking down at him.
At the owner’s attitude as if he was giving both punishment and reward, Moran had no choice but to remain silent again and leave the ball in the master’s hands.
Meanwhile, Holmes was able to organize his thoughts for a brief moment. Although she was still emotionally displeased with the sight before her and her teacher’s comments, her reason was quickly able to come up with an answer.
After all, life is nothing more than a useless tool to you. And for you, a life that is even more monotonous and ordinary than mine is hell.
I will punish you, and from now on, we will think of ways to punish you together.
But you will certainly find on this world a hell more terrible than anything else. Of course, I will prevent you from escaping to death.
Holmes’ eyes, the red pupils proving that fairy blood was flowing, burned red once again, containing only James Moriarty.
Moriarty, who was not a mind reader, did not know exactly what his disciple was thinking. But at least I could see that it was not something that would discourage the growing detective, but rather fuel his motivation for this fun confrontation.
He was arrogant and a strong man who could win at any time. Therefore, although he was satisfied, he decided to leave it as is and not learn any more deeply.
Instead, I brought up the story of the person who started this incident.
“Now that I think about it, Dr. Jekyll has been caught. It’s truly amazing that yesterday Edward Hyde was Dr. Henry Jekyll. “Isn’t that right?”
“You knew from the beginning, right? “Of course.”
“Which one? “Are you saying there was no such thing as Edward Hyde to begin with, only Henry Jekyll?”
