Duke, Please Repent! chapter 253

46. The Duke and the Suspicious... (5)

Huh? Are you going to take Lord Zion with you?

Externally, I'm only going to shoot swords, but wouldn't it be strange to leave an aide behind?

Serpens skillfully answered Humanus' question.

popped right out with no delay

Judging from what you see, it is presumed to be a line prepared in advance.

However, it seems that it was not enough to dispel the suspicions of Humanus. He shuddered and opened his mouth again.

It's true, but... you took him to the dark side.

I was just going through it a little bit. It seems that he had doubts in his heart.

Serpens smiled awkwardly as if he was in trouble at Humanus' universally reasonable question.

Of course, there is no way that excuses could have been given to Fence. just play

would be

I didn't take it, Lord Zion followed.

It's not wrong, but it's just annoying. What kind of drugs are you planning to sell today?

The odds of speaking frankly about his separation anxiety are lower than the Scoville score he can tolerate.

At least he'll try to wrap me up. I prepared my heart and waited for the next word from him.

We are investigating the deeds of our demon worshipers and preparing to confront them.

During this time, he said that he would take responsibility for the whole life so that he would not worry about other things . It might be dangerous, so you don't have to, so I can't be comfortably alone as my boss is having a hard time.

It was kind of a concern.

There were some adaptations, but there was no big difference from the real thing. It is undoubtedly true that I was responsible for all aspects of my life during my stay at the pawnshop.

For a more comfortable sleep, I made a bed, took out a packed lunch at each meal, and packed snacks.

To the extent that Serpens, who had always maintained a stiff posture like a wooden stone, melted onto the bed.

We are proud that we have provided a very good welfare.

I should have stopped you, but I had no choice but to be stubborn.

Then what do you do? If someone doesn't take care of you, eat, sleep, and rest. I know for sure that I'm not a person who doesn't do anything properly.

Kim, who was always concerned about the words

part was blown away.

He's the guy who took the papers to the dark side saying it's not worth killing time.

At least I followed him, so I went back to the pawnshop and rested, thinking that I should protect him. Otherwise, this child would have been abused by going round and round in the dark all day.

I am always grateful to Sir Zion.

If you know, be nice to me.

Ummm... I'll try harder.

Serpens gave a serious answer to the jokes and jokes, and I

was at a loss for words in embarrassment.

'Are you going to try? I still think I'm doing too well... . How much better is this guy thinking?!'

As he vomited his flagship inwardly and looked at him, Serpens made an expression as if there was something wrong with him.

It is the image of a foolish person who could not find the problem in his remarks.

The words don't try came up to the tip of my chin, but it was strange to say that in this situation, so I just swallowed it.

"I expected it from the time I called him by his first name instead of his surname but seeing the jokes exchanged, the two of you seem to be very close?"

Indeed, the undisputed Huma-Eunsae took Serpens's answer full of sincerity as a joke.

I'd rather be happy His ignorance was exerted in a positive direction today.

We've been together all day, wouldn't it be weird if we weren't close?

"But with my former aide"."

Sir Zion is so bright and sociable.

you're not good When I'm with you, I feel at ease without realizing it, so I'm just hanging out with friends in private.

Serpence replied with a smirk.

Due to the reason they were blatantly blaming each other's positions, Humanus' facial muscles, which had never been called by name, trembled finely.

It's like a face that has eaten even bitter persimmons.

"So, it's like between you and me, right?"

Your Majesty will inherit the empire

do you have to If you treat me too friendly, one of the dukes, I don't know what to say next. So it is right to keep the middle ground.

To Humanus' question, Serpens gave a clerical answer instead of expressing his true intentions, 'Are you daring to get and compare?'

You know that you're careful for me, you know it's a little sad sometimes, don't you?

Seeing Humanus talking without energy as if he was sad, Serpens was quiet.

He drew a bitter smile.

Depending on the point of view, it may be a liberating expression of 'How long is this child going to stick around?' or an expression of apology saying, 'Forgive me for having to do this.'

My interpretation was undoubtedly the former, but Humanus will understand the latter without any confirmation.

By the way. I missed the timing earlier, so I didn't ask, is the only Illuminati member I've met in person the dark elf, the boss of the dark district?

The reason for missing the timing was probably Serpence's pitiful expression and Anima's anger.

I had 3 seconds of silence for the humanus who was hit by two protectors.

No. I've only met Ji-min, the chief, once.

Yeah? How are you? Are you someone you can trust?

Yes. He was a very good and kind-hearted person.

When do you snort when you say you're smart? As if I had no words to express, Serpence explained my name

all.

Maybe it's because it's difficult to infer my identity while explaining things for nothing.

Somehow, I feel like I've been denied my sincerity in the face.

"Will I be able to meet the Illuminati leader too?"

Humanus' wish has already come true.

We have met several times in the past, and it is proof that we meet now.

Oh, I'm not suspicious! I'm just curious, and I'm glad I got help.

I also want to say hi... .

Since Serpens had shown trust, Humanus added his words carefully so as not to offend him.

However, there was still a tinge of thinking that it was a dubious and dubious group.

A group that suddenly appeared one day.

On such a topic, he murmured that he had been chasing after the demons for a long time, and released information that others did not know.

Even if the evil forces are aiming for the back of the head and misunderstanding that it is a warm-up symptom, it cannot be helped.

'How many days or two days did the demons try to trap Serpens?'

Moreover, it is natural to be worried about spreading innocence on a day when the external fence is fictional.

I have no way to contact you first... I'm sorry.

Then there's nothing I can do about it. If you have a chance later, tell me.

You], I'll tell you first.

Words are still being transmitted in real time. It just means that you have no intention of arranging a meeting.

It is not uncommon to deceive Human Eyes with a disguise, but the problem is purple. Her senses are wild, close to instinct.

Eventually you'll find out.

- Knock Knock Knock.

While the conversation stopped, a knock sounded just in time.

After a while, it was Xeon who opened the door and entered.

Dinner is ready.

It's a reminder to come for lunch.

I just sat there blankly, but the time has already passed like this.

There is no such thing as a waste of time.

If I had exercised during this time, I would have consumed 1,000 calories.

'If that was the case, it would have been okay to have a late-night snack today .'

As I got up to head to the dining room, Serpens lightly tapped my shoulder. It means to look at yourself.

Serpens made eye contact with me and shook his head from side to side.

Did you catch the wind?'

I guess I was salivating at the thought of a late-night snack.

With a gloomy heart in my chest, I tumbled to the dining room.

Eirich and Eugenes arrived first at the restaurant.

'Are you going to ask Winston to eat together from tomorrow? Are you trying to be a little embarrassed?'

I'll have to stop by his room for a moment and ask him before I go to bed.

"Did you have a good conversation?"

As everyone sat down, Eirich asked a question.

It was a polite question, but on the other hand, it was a question filled with concern to Serpens, 'Didn't that ignorant guy make strange noises?'

Humanus smiled comfortably and replied yes, and Serpens smiled without saying a word.

Ah, I'm planning to go abroad this week.

At first, I was embarrassed to say, 'I feel foreign.'

pretended to be right.

At his words, Eilich's gaze turned toward Humanus. Those eyes were beautiful even with empty words, and it was hard to say.

Since it was Serpens himself, the time when he talked about it was funny. You must have misunderstood that Humanus brought you a job.

It was early this morning that I came back after struggling in a dark place for two weeks. I don't even give my nephew time to rest properly, and he goes on an overseas business trip right away.

No matter how much the opponent is the master of the holy sword, dissatisfaction will inevitably come out.

not in

'Should I tell you that the time I spent in bed was longer than the time I suffered in the dark? ?'

If Serpens had gained some weight while living in the dark, if not as much as I did, Eilich would have been less worried.

That's really sad.

"Are you going to buy a sword?

As I explained the specific purpose, Eilich's eyes softened just then.

Humanus, who received a bitter glance, did not seem to notice what had happened.

Because Huma's eyes are Nus... , no, I'm glad that Humanus is blind.

"Can I come with you?"

Yes, of course.

Eugene raised his hand slightly and said. Serpens gladly accepted it.

And I'm thinking of joining Sir Winston. I'm a little... in the dark, I'm sorry.

Good idea!

Seeing Serpens speaking modestly, Euges smiled. Maybe my expression didn't change much.

If it wasn't for the Holy Sword and the others in this place, I would have been stroking his head.

What the hell happened to the dark side...?

The summoned demon was trying to estrange between Serpens and Winston. He's probably worshiped by the devil.], he's very bad-mouthed and devoured!

He was a guy I couldn't get along with.

I deliberately replied that it was no big deal, but the worry on Eilich's face did not go away.

Uh huh...? You said we were friends, did you just call your name?

At that moment, Humanus suddenly raised a voice.

I've heard of Serpense crying while investigating them, but I don't think I've heard of squeaking him by name.

Serpens glanced at me with a piercing gaze.

I'll correct it. I've been friends with Shion privately.

That's right?

As soon as he turned his gaze away and looked at Serpens who was smiling brightly, Humanus answered with a bewildered answer.

Shion, I, and Serpens are equal friends.

Yes, as Euges said.

It seems that Serpense's answer satisfies Eugene's heart. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Satisfied, she resumed eating.

And, in the face of blatant discrimination, Humanus had a fork and a knife in both hands and blinked his eyes.

" I've been thinking since the last time we met, aren't you very close to Duke Nari, Humanus?"

Well, you must be joking...

That's what you want to believe

Whether Furor's question was the final blow, he didn't know how to open Humanus' mouth until the meal was over.

"The Volta Mountains are strictly managed by the denomination, but they are regularly maintained so that you can come back immediately if there is a problem.

Please take care of it."

*o Uh "

-9 - O

the moment of parting.

Nodding his head at the clerical advice that could not even be considered Serpense's greeting was all that Humanus could do.

'He must have been very shocked, are you okay?'

I told Serpense to tee off, but I wonder if it's too harsh. Sometimes I get very confused and want to calm down.

What if things go wrong like this?

I also thought about it, so I think it would be fine considering how Humanus looked in [Master of the Holy Sword].

Almost at the very last minute, I asked Serpens the 'why?' question.

Next time we meet, wouldn't Humanus also come to his senses and try to talk?
