The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over

77 – Cow, please give me your hand first

Come to your room at night.

The author is none other than a saint.

Of course, I know that wasn’t the intention.

Because I am also a man, I couldn’t help but draw all kinds of dark pictures in my head.

‘Did something happen?’

I had a hard time controlling my mind and thought deeply. I wonder if anything happened during this time that made Lily call me out.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I have no idea…’

At this point, nothing really happened to Lily. The episode that originated from the volunteer club did not begin until vacation.

‘Have you heard any news regarding the Duke of Astrea?’

It was a highly probable guess. Lily and Seongguk’s intelligence was better than expected.

When Lily called me after hearing something, she probably wanted to give me helpful information.

‘It’s reassuring.’

Thinking that such a pretty and talented child was trying to help me made me smile with joy.

Did I look bad like that?

Someone spoke to me, jabbing my shoulder with a finger.

“Carmel, why are you smiling like Satan?”

When she turned her head, a man of the same age as her, wearing a fancy priest’s uniform, was tilting his head.

Short light purple hair,

Eyes so thin that the pupil is not visible.

Tall and slim-looking.

He was Lily’s younger brother, whom I knew very well.

“Ah, Duran.”

The next saint of the Holy Kingdom and the saint’s guard knight.

Durand de Baroque.

This guy was a new student in the same class as me, and I had already met him four years ago, so he was one of the few male cadets in the same class with whom I had no relationship.

“It’s suspicious these days.”

“What?”

Duran asked with narrowed eyes, and I, feeling offended for no reason, asked back in annoyance.

“The sticky eyes you look at your sister, the bright expression on your sister’s face. Both.”

“···You say I looked at you with sticky eyes at some point? “It’s because we know each other.”

“No, there is definitely something. “Be honest.”

“What?”

“You two did it, right?”

“···.”

What kind of nonsense is he talking about?

“I’m kidding.”

Duran, who saw my crumpled expression, laughed and patted my shoulder, and I spoke in a blunt tone.

“Duran, how long will the next saint be so frivolous?”

“Please understand. “I had a lot of trouble recently because strange traces were discovered.”

“Strange traces?”

“Yes, it looks like someone sneaked in near my sister’s residence. “I couldn’t catch it in the end.”

That’s actually me.

The words welled up in my throat, but I held them back with great difficulty and patted Duran on the shoulder, pretending to comfort him.

“You have suffered a lot.”

“So please be careful.”

Then Duran sighed and looked at me blankly.

“What?”

“It doesn’t matter whether you two see eye to eye or not, but please consider my situation as your sister’s escort driver.”

“What is your situation as I, a commoner, am the next saint?”

When I asked while tilting my head, Duran looked very serious and started talking nonsense in earnest.

“Now, let’s assume. You and your sister are in love. After that? “You would do something like that, right?”

“I don’t think that will happen, but that’s true.”

“Okay. But what happens when your stomach gets full? What happens to me?”

“I don’t know about Lily, but you will be burned at the stake.”

“I know. So, my friend, please be careful.”

“Since that doesn’t happen, will you stop talking nonsense?”

“Immanuel.”

When I answered with a frown, Duran made the sign of the cross and laughed.

‘He’s definitely not a bad guy.’

When I looked at Duran like that, I remembered the Duran I saw in the game.

-“Fran, can you please go back? “It’s because I really don’t want to kill you.”

-“For your sister? Don’t be a jerk. “This is the path for you.”

The main character runs to save Lily,

Duran stands in the way and sneers lowly.

I still remember it. It took over a week to defeat Duran, the mid-boss.

‘After that…’

After defeating Duran, Duran showed various appearances depending on the choices the player made.

Sometimes they committed suicide, some became corrupt,

While he went into hiding, he also became an ally.

‘You must be used by me, right?’

Of course, I had already decided on Duran’s future.

“Okay, I’m sorry. It’s funny even when I think about it. How dare you sneak into your sister’s room and engage in skinship or something like that. “Wow, what kind of nonsense did I say… Well, see you later.”

Duran scratches the back of his head and smiles sheepishly before leaving.

Looking at the back, it was difficult for me to control my facial expression as I was about to enter Lily’s room today.

On the other hand, a line came to mind that I would like to say at least once in my life.

Your sister is awesome.

If you say that, how will Duran react?

As I was going outside with such meaningless imagination, I saw a familiar silhouette sitting on a chair and resting.

“Sage.”

“Oh?”

I sat down next to him and asked carefully.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s worth it. “I feel a little proud of helping people.”

“Not that one.”

“Ah…”

As I quietly shook my head, Seiji stared blankly at the ceiling.

‘It wouldn’t have been an easy choice.’

I asked Seiji for a favor. He asked for help in killing his adoptive father, the Duke of Astrea.

It must have been an unpleasant experience for Seiji.

In the end, it was no different from Seiji helping Jane and Phase, who had been harassing him.

Nevertheless, it was right to kill Duke Astrea. Only then will Seiji be able to completely escape danger.

Did he at least understand my feelings? Seiji looked at me and answered.

“That’s okay too. In fact, if Camel hadn’t stepped forward, I would have stepped forward first.”

“···Really?”

“That person would have tried to kill me at some point. So I should actually be thankful. Anyway, they also promised that they would never touch me again.”

“Yes.”

I looked at Seiji curiously, who answered with an expressionless face.

‘Did he always speak this well?’

I think hanging out with people was effective for Seiji.

‘It looks good.’

I feel happy to see Seiji, who originally had to live without any emotions or conversation, developing little by little.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to me.

“Seiji, but I have a question.”

“···?”

“Why are you so obedient to me?”

When I thought about it, it was like that.

Like when I entrusted Twitter to you,

Like when I went on a trip,

Even now.

Sage has never once refused my request.

I just showed blind trust and listened.

‘That can’t be possible…’

Could it be that he knows that I am the Master who gave him orders?

Then it was difficult.

The reason I hid my identity was because I wanted Seiji to live as a whole person, not a doll.

When doubt arose, my eyes naturally narrowed.

Was he conscious of my gaze?

Seiji smiled and answered in a calm tone.

“Everything Carmel asked me to do was the best for me.”

“Yes, but…”

“Even if someone other than you had asked for that, I would have granted it.”

“Right?”

After asking that question, I was soon able to put aside my doubts.

Well, even with that mask on, how could Seiji have recognized me?

****

A night with the moon hanging in the sky.

I had secretly infiltrated the temple on the academy grounds.

‘Security has definitely become tighter.’

Unlike last time, there are more Paladins patrolling, and the security area has become tighter.

‘There is a lot of hardship. Duran.’

I leisurely passed by the area where Duran was patrolling, and comforted him in my mind.

‘Anyway, what trace did I leave?’

Duran told me. I left some mark.

I felt uncomfortable about that part. That’s right, last time I took great care not to leave any traces such as footprints or mana.

Honestly, I was confident that no one would find out. That’s because even Master couldn’t sense my secretive movements.

‘Well, just ask Lily.’

As I walked like that, I found myself in front of Lily’s residence.

“Lily.”

After entering the room, I carefully called out to Lily.

The room was dark as all the magic lights were turned off.

‘Are you sleeping?’

It was strange. There’s no way Lily would have called someone and forgotten.

“Queu, queuung…”

As I was thinking that, I heard a drooling sound.

When I turned my gaze, I saw Lily lying on the bed, nodding and frowning.

Only then did I understand why Lily was doing that.

‘I used a lot of divine power today.’

In the meantime, he would have had to endure the evil of many people.

‘The ring didn’t have much effect.’

When I looked at Lily’s finger, I saw the ‘Tears of the Sea’ that I had given her as a gift.

Even if she wears that ring, it doesn’t seem like the pain Lily suffers will be dynamically reduced.

‘···But it seems like it has no effect at all.’

As I sit next to the bed and look at Lily, I feel fortunate.

The once pale skin feels its own vitality.

The body and eyebrows that used to tremble like an aspen tree are not trembling.

The expression is frowned, but it doesn’t look as painful as last time.

‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think you’re acting.’

Of course that wouldn’t be possible.

Looking at Lily, who is much better than last time, I have such a ridiculous thought.

Did he wake up to me pretending to be popular?

“···Hand.”

“···?”

“So, please give me your hand first. “It hurts.”

Without even opening her eyes, Lily held out her palms and muttered in a voice as loud as a mosquito.
