Duke, Please Repent! chapter 204

40. The Duke and the Disappearance Case (9)

Is it because of his delicate and slender fingers?

Serpence, who has a sharp fingertip, looked at the origami book I gave him and completed the result one after another without trial and error.

'At first I said that I didn't know what kind of fun it was... .'

After folding a few, he seemed to be completely absorbed in the fun.

Maybe he needed something to focus on to get rid of his anxiety.

He took out a book in three days, and the three of them held a small book street party with Eugenes, who returned late at night.

The problem was after that.

As he continued to fold only what he had folded, he slowly lost interest in origami.

For him, I demonstrated the origami skills I had learned during my major practice.

Starting with the simple ones, I gradually increased the auditory canal, folded the complex ones, and threw them at him.

He observed it closely, unfolded it little by little, and folded the same things I had folded.

The repertoire falls in an instant.

In the end, I had no choice but to show off the welding skills that I was passionate about when I was a sergeant in the last years of my life.

He wondered if he was a little lost, but he quickly mastered that.

'Wow, that's really cool! How long did it take me to fold that up!'

Not only is he smart, but he must also have excellent spatial perception.

So, around the time Serpens succeeded in folding three types of dragons.

I got caught.

Received a report from Hans.

One of the informants he had undercover witnessed the kidnapping and succeeded in pursuing him.

Although I couldn't find the exact location because I was chasing from a distance so as not to be detected, just specifying an area is a great income.

If you notice a chase, you might change your location, so I gave you orders to chase only in an undetected line.

you], you did well. It's not hard to find out if you know that much.

Of course it's not my job.

Euges will do it.

But it's been a while. I don't know when they'll start working.

A voice mixed with concerns by Euges at my words

gave out li

She isn't the only one who thinks so.

I just didn't speak out. As the days passed, our anxiety was gradually increasing.

"We have to attack the site right away at the same time as we find their lair "

Eugeus turned his head without speaking.

Naturally, my head turned to follow her gaze.

I couldn't hear anything, but in the soundproofing that Eu Jis put up, Serer

I caught my eye as the fence lightly knocked on the soundproofing screen.

Are you up to anything?

She sent the spirit back to their world and asked Serpens a question.

I will go with you."

Yes?

The exact enemy's power is not known, and the number of people who have been kidnapped so far is not small, so the number of monitoring personnel is also...

Serpence started arguing why he had to go with him.

expected sea. It wasn't that surprising.

Nevertheless, I couldn't help but be surprised.

Euges, isn't there a hole in the soundproofing screen? I think you've heard not only today's talk but also all previous reports?! Maybe you've been asked by Serpens to just pretend to block the sound...

No! I'm sure it was completely blocked, but how...?

She looked at Serpence in disbelief.

The guy who met her shaking eyes, coughed shyly and avoided his gaze.

"Well, actually I read the shape of the mouth."

Somehow, every time a report came in, I felt as if they were staring at us.

I thought it was just anxiety that came to my room every night.

After I accidentally saw Hans coming to my room on the first day and posting a report.

When will another report come in the same way

It may come, but I must have been hiding in my room at all.

Thanks to this, I was able to keep myself out of bed every day.

'When I woke up in the morning, I was lying in bed... .'

Serpens who got up first must have put it on the bed and left.

Even if I woke up in bed, the fact that I slept on the floor did not change.

I even gave up the bed out of pity, but I'm going to hit the back of the head like this!

Looking back now, when we first received the report from Hans, our

I wonder if even saying that I couldn't sleep because I was worried was a lie... .

'Oh, that was a lie, wasn't it?'

Anyway.

I didn't know that he was even learning to read his lips.

I felt a deep suffocation and took a long breath and calmed my mind.

" We will take care of the rest of the work, so please go back to your room, butler."

Before scolding Serpens, Hans was sent back to the room.

As he disappears over the secret passage,

As if sensing that he was going to be scolded, Serpens shrugged his neck, lowered his head slightly, and raised his eyes with a pitiful expression.

It was a bonus to wiggle her mouth up and down with her lower lip slightly protruding.

I can't help it with a face like that.

I have no choice .

This time it goes like this, but next time, there will be no soup!

Yes, thank you. Be careful next time.

Ugh... let's see!

Such a lethal fence!

Where did you learn this new technology, it is highly desirable.

"Shion, didn't you just shoot something at Serpens?"

Ha, but you're making such a remorseful expression!

As I pointed to Serpence and said, he who was smiling triumphantly immediately made a crying expression on his face.

It's like that aggravating fence!

Anyway, if you can, let Eugene try it. Put that face in front of you.

Can you scold me! I can't.

"That's ! That's right ."

If you don't let go of your anger even after seeing the cute boy's aegyo, you're not human.

No matter how much you hate animals, you will have no choice but to stop.

This is the only time I'm going to pass. I know that feeling that Serpence did it because he was anxious. So I'm just passing it on. Did you know?

Yeah, I know. Why don't I know what you think?

He bounced my words back to his ear, and spoke haphazardly. Doesn't seem like he knows anything.

I don't know why he chooses to do stupid things like this these days.

I am very worried that I may have gotten some strange water because I made a strange friend somewhere.

"But are you really okay?"

Wake up it will be fine. Didn't that give me time to calm down and organize my thoughts?

It really wasn't like that.

For a long time, he carried his burdens on the hall

ran without hesitation.

Now, little by little, I have eased my burdens and slowed down my stride.

'The time has come for the accumulated fatigue to come all at once.'

He always seemed to need a break.

Even after work, we had hobbies together, prayed, and chatted and played together. Rest and play are completely different things.

Meanwhile, the incident caused his stress to reach its peak.

Because, can no longer postpone the break

I just thought there wasn't.

I listen to other words well, but I don't even listen to one saying to rest.

Then I'll go with you.

Do you know where it is?

Where are you, Recluton?

I don't mean that.

Serpens looked at me with a disgruntled face.

I don't know why he meant me when he said that.

Of course you're worried about me going to a dangerous place with you.

But I'm worried too.

, What would you do if you were strong?

Perhaps the demons thought that the testimony of one or two people was not enough, they kidnapped nearly thirty people.

Thirty people are gathered in his nightmare.

No matter how much Eugene goes with him, being anxious is uneasy.

In the first place, Serpence is not even qualified to say that to me.

"What does that mean?"

The guy frowned.

Why do you deserve to worry about me

I'm asking whether or not there is.

It's not meant to be that way, but it's pretty much the same.

"Serpens is deliberately inducing people to misunderstand me, to make me look like a great person."

Well, that's...

Serpens often said? When the demons start to appear one by one in this land, he may have to travel around the continent like the master of the holy sword.

His eyes fluttered at my words.

Who am I? Serpentine Mas

She is a teacher and serpent behavioral development expert. The person sitting on top of Serpens's head is me. While I was leaking hints like that, did you think I wouldn't notice?

Wow, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Even his voice began to tremble.

I hoped I was wrong, but unfortunately I guess I was right.

Don't let it go? Serpence thinks it's better to always take me with him than to keep him under someone else's protection and protect him himself, so he's worried if he can't see it

Dangerous or not, you were planning to take me with you. Why are you doing this all over again?"

That's because if I leave, you're going to have an accident!

Serpens cried out.

In fact, it was like admitting what I said.

Feeling a serious mood, he summoned the sent spirit again, and Eugene, who had been blocking the sound, also noticed it.

She looked at Serpens as if asking if what I said was true.

it was

Only then did he realize that his words were like admitting what I was saying, and he shrugged his shoulders.

However, he did not spit out his words.

"Where did I want to do that?"

He shut his mouth and looked at me.

Coincidentally, it is an undeniable reality that something happened whenever his vision was out of reach.

And therein lies the wealth I brought

It cannot be denied that there is no one.

I know too. it's repentance

My conscience was stabbed as I was staring at his green eyes that were filled with resentment, but I couldn't help it.

'But you can't intentionally heighten that anxiety and make it take me away, right?'

Knowing his symptoms, it's very easy.

This incident is not only for the purpose of disclosing Serpence's past, but only a sneak peek of what the Yangdong operation is about to lure him out and target me.

lee is enough

That alone would make him nervous and beg me to go with him. as obvious as fire

Instead, even after this job is over, they will try to carry me around like an umbrella in the rainy season.'

Still, you can't exacerbate the condition by stimulating the anxiety of a seriously ill person.

Rather, it is better for the future to take this opportunity to admit it yourself.

"Even Serpens are afraid to face them. They are already confused.

I'd be pissed... . If you care if you take me and if you care if you leave me. It is better to put it in a conspicuous place than to fight the fear of the unknown that cannot be seen. It's a shame that you have to protect me, but... . No matter what you say instead, I do a great job as a tranquilizer for Serpens, right?"

Do as you please.

The boy was completely nauseous and turned his head away.

'Really, I do everything because of him!'

It's all because he's too dependent on me.

Thinking that all the serenity I've been feeling lately comes from me, I'm afraid everything will go back to the way it was without me.

He was looking for all his psychological stability only in me.

To be honest, even if nothing had happened, he would have tried to carry me around for various reasons.

'Because it seems like I can't stand it without me.'

Separation anxiety is severe in many ways.

It's true that I want you to depend on me, but

I didn't want you to rely on me like this.

I hoped I could overcome some parts on my own, but the guy was so salty that I became too fussy.

'When I realized that, I was worried about him and insisted on going with me, because I'm very polarized.'

But what to worry about.

The image of him inflicting wounds on his body in a seizure was repeatedly stepped on in his eyes.

'If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have made such a compulsion... .'

I sighed inwardly.
