40. Leading and being led (8)
The moment when Elijah and his lips almost met.
-Kung kung kung!
Someone knocked hard on the door.
“Aww!”
Elijah jumped up in amazement.
I also fluttered and stood up.
‘Wow, sir. Be surprised…. Oh my heart hurts….’
We both breathed heavily.
Elijah’s face is red with excitement.
… Is my face like that too?
-Kung kung kung!
Knock on the door again from below.
“Whoa….”
Elijah sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
“I….”
“No. You just got better. The patient should rest. I’ll go down and see.”
Leaving the room with a thump.
The sound of going down the stairs is rough.
That’s why I’m going to destroy the house.
A voice is heard from below.
“Who are you?”
“My lady. It’s me. Mayo. I’m here because it’s time for Yuda-nim’s regular checkup.”
“… Come in.”
He opens the door roughly and comes back with a stomp.
When Elijah returned, his face was swollen with heartache.
Like a puffer fish.
‘Cute is the medicine. Hmm…. Wait for a sec. May? That Elijah’s mansion’s councilor?’
Then May and Gail came in.
These are the two councilors I often see at Elijah’s mansion.
Were these members the ones who confirmed me so far?
“What? Mr. Judas? Do you remember us?”
Like Elijah, this one is greatly misunderstood.
I cleared up the misunderstanding by briefly summarizing what I told Elijah.
Gail slapped me on the back like the old days.
“Then you should have said that, you bastard!”
“Evil! No, I thought I said it!”
This old man has a dirty temper.
Somehow, every time I had a medical examination, my hands were rough.
“Uhh, tskz…. It’s okay and I’m afraid I’ll laugh.”
Check your physical condition every time you come to see a doctor.
I also want to see my current body with my own eyes.
‘Since I’ve been exercising since I got back to my senses, there will be less muscle loss…. I don’t know what happened to the soot that remained on her body.’
Before I fought Drake, there was still soot on my body.
The more magical power was restored, the smaller it was than before.
Since I died and woke up, I have not been able to see because my eyes are not good.
“Yes, yes.”
Mei only checked the condition of my eyes and left her room first.
She took off her top to see Gail.
But, Elijah keeps glancing at me.
‘… It’s embarrassing to look at you like that.’
A body with many small scars.
As Gail checked, Elijah’s gaze changed.
Now I look at it openly.
“Well, you don’t seem to be sick. By the way, after lying down for several days, her body is still rumbling, disgusting.”
“This is the result of harsh and sincere writing of the body….”
“Noisy. Don’t use your body harshly.”
“Yes.”
Gail, who spoke as if warning, greeted Elijah and left.
I hurriedly got dressed.
Because Elijah kept looking at me…. I feel weird.
It was confirmed that the soot on her body was completely gone.
By the way.
Elijah grabbed my hand.
It’s a very strong and rough touch, as if trying to stop her from wearing her clothes.
“Ah, lady… ?”
Elijah stared at my body.
It is a tenacious look, as if the voice cannot be heard.
Involuntarily, I shrank her body and swallowed her saliva.
‘Hey, the roles have changed a bit?’
Considering that it’s a master-servant relationship, this seems like the right role….
My expectations… Contrary to her worries, Elijah quickly let go of her wrist.
I don’t know what she is, but she finished wearing her clothes in this gap.
“The soot is gone from her body… ?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I think it will be okay if I touch you now.”
“How….”
Soot was evidence that my body had reached its limit.
But now that I have perfected my attributes with [Full Moon], I don’t have to worry at all.
“That…. Just feel? I heard that the gigantic drake you killed was related to the moon.
“Yes… ?”
Elijah nodded slowly, as if he had any idea.
She then crawls over her bed.
She naturally climbs on top of me and hugs me.
I calmly gave my arms while sitting on the head of the bed.
It fits snugly into your pocket.
It’s just the right size and warm, so it feels good to hold it.
A languid warmth seeps into your body.
‘… But why is she so skinny?’
I thought I had a bad complexion, but I only have bones in my body.
‘How did I steam it….’
Should I feed him first?
Anyway, Elijah said while holding me.
“Then, from now on I can touch as much as I want….”
For some reason, the speaking voice was a little excited.
“That, um…. Maybe it’s not okay….”
Elijah’s little hand lingers on mine.
It seems to make sure it doesn’t burn again.
“Looks like you’re really okay now…. Didn’t I have to do that to you back then….”
Muttered in a remorseful voice.
“If it was going to be like this, I would just keep it by my side….”
That’s probably not the case.
Because he left Elijah, he was able to complete the characteristics of a full moon.
This is ironic.
Elijah sniffed her nose as she shed tears as if she felt sorry for what had happened.
Her eyes and nose are red from her constant crying.
I don’t think it should be like this, but that’s kind of cute.
“It’s okay. It’s fine now.”
“… Fool. But, is it really okay? Could it be that something bad is going on behind the scenes?”
“Ummm…. That doesn’t seem like it.”
Well, if it’s something I can’t feel, I can’t help it.
I’m sure not.
[HP: 74.0]
The mana that had risen to 68 quickly rose to 74.
What’s more, instead of something coming out of her body for a long time, the warm energy continues to be sucked in.
I’m rather worried.
“My lady. Do you ever feel that magic is draining from your body?”
“Huh? Now?”
“Yes. That’s why, I feel like I’m somehow absorbing the lady’s mana….”
“Huh?”
Elijah blinked her big eyes.
Her eyes move slowly back and forth as if trying to feel her magic power.
She shook her head.
“Not at all. If it had happened, there was no way I wouldn’t have noticed.”
When it comes to magic and magic, Elijah can’t be ignorant.
In particular, there is no reason for Elijah to lie about this.
“Rather… I was worried because the magic flowing from you was so much stronger than before. Are you really okay?”
“I swear to you, it really is fine. If it’s not okay, I’ll tell you right away.”
“Yes. It has to be.”
She nodded and buried herself deeply into my body.
Muttered in a languid voice.
“It feels good…. How much do I need this….”
The way you rub your face is like a cat doing something cute.
I naturally hugged her and enjoyed her warmth.
Then she spoke cautiously.
“My lady.”
“Huh?”
“You said that earlier. That what you said back then was a lie. Then, what is the truth….”
Before she could finish her sentence, Elijah raised her head.
I wrap my arms around my neck and come up.
The eye level has become the same.
She looks at me from the front.
Red eyes like jewels.
“Do you want to know my true feelings?”
In contrast to his determined expression, his voice trembled as if he was nervous.
I also put her heart on edge for no reason.
After swallowing her saliva, he answered with difficulty.
“… Yes.”
Looking at her with big eyes.
Don’t say anything, just silently.
The faces got closer.
Very slowly, without even noticing.
Slightly rough breathing hits your face.
It seems to rub against the long eyelashes.
From noble mtl dot com
Involuntarily, I looked at her lips.
Small, thick, red lips.
If you bite into it, it will taste like sweet fruit.
Her pupils follow my gaze, then look at my lips, then come back to her eyes.
Thump, pound.
Heart beats.
Keep your skin tight and hit your body vigorously.
Elijah’s heart is me, and my heart is Elijah.
I can’t tell whose heart it is.
As if we became one.
Answers that seem to be returned in a different language.
My eyes are gently closed, and my head tilts obliquely.
The tips of the noses touched slightly.
-Kung kung kung!!
Someone knocked on the door from below.
‘… Is this again?’
Elijah’s eyes went wild in an instant.
-Kung-kung kung-kung!
“My lady! It’s urgent!”
The voice that seeks Elijah, not me.
Very urgent and serious.
“Whoa….”
Elijah rested her chin on my shoulder and sighed deeply.
“Annoying….”
I stroked her waist as if to soothe her.
“I think there is something important.”
“You are the most important thing to me.”
It’s just cute to grumble.
I’m sorry too, but I can’t help it.
She is a busy body.
The war is not over yet.
Elijah also swept her hair once and stood up.
“I’ll go down.”
I also got up from the juseom juseom seat.
Although he is a patient, his body has already fully recovered.
It’s not enough to lie down and recuperate.
I was about to leave with a stuffed cat, but there was a sword lying next to the bedroom door.
‘This is….’
The pupil of the moon that I abandoned.
Elijah must have taken care of it, and her hands were quite stained.
I grabbed my sword and went downstairs.
It was Dylan who came looking for Elijah.
‘The schedule must have been difficult over there, too. Her complexion makes no sense.’
He glanced at me and said to Elijah.
It was not the atmosphere to share the joy of the reunion.
I gave Dylan a wink and sat down in the living room.
It feels like we have to leave in a hurry.
I should leave a letter saying that I am leaving briefly.
The subjects are Yuridike and Orphe, who helped her settle down here.
Although it was short, it was nice to meet Leon, Cooper, Brown, and Connor.
‘This should be enough. By the way, I haven’t seen Eurydike and Orphée lately…. Although I was injured and lay down. Where did you go?’
As she put down her pen, Elijah came over.
As if hesitating to speak, his lips only move.
Instead, I said first.
“Let’s go together. Can I go right now?”
“… Are you going with me?”
Elijah drove me out.
She must have thought that she was too shameless to ask me to come with her now.
I just said it lightly.
“I’m the lady’s escort driver, so I need to stay with her.”
“… ….”
As Elijah looked up, his eyes widened.
‘Oh, I’ve become a crybaby before I know it.’
As soon as you run into it, you fall into my arms.
He buries his face in her chest and shakes her shoulders in silence.
I patted her on the shoulder, and Dylan was looking at me with a happy smile.
I nodded slightly to say hello, and he nodded lightly as well.
“By the way.”
Elijah blurted out.
For some reason, his voice became cold and hard.
“Who did you write the letter to?”
“He helped me settle here….”
“Woman?”
“… One is a woman, but she is a married woman. Also, the couple is very close. Yes. You don’t even know who her husband is? Does your husband know me well?”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Elijah raised his eyebrows and nodded her head.
I let out a sigh of relief.
‘I didn’t do anything wrong…. I’m trembling for no reason….’
She naturally led my hand.
There were two more Elijah bodyguards outside.
Jerry and Hador.
They both found me and laughed and waved their hands wildly.
‘… It’s kind of embarrassing, and a bit sorry.’
I disguised myself as a corpse and tried to disappear altogether.
From their point of view, they may feel sad, but there is no sign of that at all.
The only reaction was that it was fortunate that he was alive and that it was nice to see him again.
“First of all, we have to go back to the mansion and sort things out. To put it simply, Cain and Levi are advancing with all their forces. I need to hear more details after I go to the mansion.”
Elijah looked up at me and smiled.
“Shall we go?”
I also smiled at him.
“Yes. Let’s go back.”
Shortly after that, the bodyguards, including me and Elijah, disappeared.
***
“Uh… la?”
Yuri Dicke trembled his hand.
“Yuri? What’s the matter?”
Orphe asked worriedly.
Unfortunately, the tail was stepped on by an imperial knight, and the two had to leave in a hurry.
However, Eurydike stood still and did not answer.
She was looking at the papers in front of her.
She was the information that arrived just before she ran away.
I traced the past of Judas from 5 years ago.
She asked him to find out about her parents first.
It’s common for orphans.
To be curious about one’s origin.
I pursued with all my heart, but it was not easy.
Then, I paid attention to one clue.
Judah said he met Orphe while wandering around the front line.
So, you can dig into his history centered on the frontline and the border with the demon realm.
In the middle of grabbing clues one by one like that.
I don’t know what’s going on, but the inside of the Assassin’s Guild has been a mess lately.
Aiming for that gap, Yuridike secretly planted a competent spy.
And there, she caught a clue about Judas that she never expected.
The fact that I was a guild member when I was very young.
And the first target he killed….
‘… ….’
She’s more serious than her, she’s read her Orpheus and her materials.
He came to the same conclusion.
The two know the relationship between Judas and Elijah.
How they think of each other.
“Why, why…. Why are these two… Uhh… ? Judas, why the hell… ?”
“… ….”
Euridike was confused and said nothing.
Orphé grabbed her by the shoulder.
“For now, we need to evacuate. Find out more later and let me know. It’s not too late to find out more about what happened between the two of you.”
“… Huh. Yes, that’s how it should be….”
Yuridike came to his senses and collected the papers.
Just in time, due to the war, the inside of the Wolsin Church is in a very chaotic state.
And Judas was brought out of Giudecca by Angra, the bishop of the Moonsin Church, and raised.
‘If I use this opportunity to break into the Moonsin Church and dig up information, there will be more clues.’
Please, I hope there are clues that can explain this assassination order.
Euridice and Orphe prayed.
