Chapter 102 – Chapter 99 – Elf Who Wants to Get Pregnant (8)

After opening the door, Hernan didn’t have to go far to find Silnia.

“Eh? Come out already?”

Silnia, who had entered her room a moment before, was crossing her living room.
She must have changed a diaper, as she came out of the laundromat with her baby in her arms.

Instead of answering, Hernán hurriedly looked behind him.
Carine was clearly looking at Silnia through the door that hadn’t been closed yet.

Hernan looked at Silnia, thinking that she was a little embarrassed.
Picking up her Silnia instead of the original Karine gives her time to be alone with her.

He planned to use that time to interrogate Silnia in advance.
As long as Karine is convinced that the culprit of the cookie incident is the hero, she will properly roast and boil the elf, and the matter will be solved easily.

But when you run into her right in front of her like this, you have no choice but to take her right away.

“L! Hurry up and bring Sylnia.”

Hearing Karine’s words, Hernan looked at Silnia.
Silnia stood blankly with her face that she still didn’t understand.

Can not help it.
I had no choice but to expect Silnia to answer honestly.

Hernan said she was going to Carine now, and she pulled Silnia by the shoulder.

“Oh!”

“Sylnia, listen carefully to what I am saying.”

The elf looked at Hernan with her eyes wide open.
Hernán whispered as he moved away from Carine’s gaze as much as possible.

“Go inside and don’t get too excited. And be as honest as possible.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Trust me. Don’t hold a grudge.”

Circumstantial, it’s obvious why Karine, who is almost certain to be the culprit in Cookie’s case, suddenly summons Silnia, her accomplice.

Go over by matching the words with a low probability.

But she’s honestly driven this far, and she’ll find it difficult to move on to matching her words.
Even more so if it was Silnia who had to match her words.

If so, there is a high probability that she will try to reduce her punishment by either blaming her or taking the blame.

Of course, if something like that happened, Silnia couldn’t stay still.
She is always tempted by her violence. Due to her personality, there is a high possibility that she will kill Karine someday.

It’s also a problem that Karine, who already gave birth to her own two children, gets hurt too much, and it will make the atmosphere here worse.

The measures to go out will also be ruined.

“Okay, Sylnia?”

“Uh…”

“Ok, thanks.”

Hernán said that and kissed her lightly, then moved away from Silnia.

All that’s left now is to go into Carine’s room and finish the job well.

Hernán looked at a corner of the living room right before entering Carine’s room.

The altar of the demon god that seemed to see the entire living room.
It is shabby compared to the altar of the real temple, but it is as intimidating as any other altar.

Whenever I look there, I feel like a demon is watching me.
Hernán put up with the feeling of displeasure and entered the room with Silnia, who was stroking the kissed cheek with a bewildered expression.

* * *

Carine greeted Hernan and Silnia with her calm face.
She had already dragged the two chairs in each of her rooms in front of her bed, so that the three of them could have a close conversation.

“Sit in a chair. I will sit on the bed.”

Carine offered her a seat, hugging her sleeping children.
Both Hernan and Silnia sat on chairs and looked straight at the hero.

A calm-looking face.
However, the forehead drenched in cold sweat contrasted with the dry lips.

Even her bloodshot eyes and her hands wriggling intermittently showed that she was very nervous.

Hernan felt bitter for a moment, feeling that he looked like Karine talking to nobles in the capital.

At that time, Karine would come back crying after being humiliated by her every time.

When Hernán was momentarily haunted by her old memories, Silnia spoke her first.

“So why did you call me here?”

Hernan, who came to his senses, answered quickly.

“To tell you about the wish you agreed upon.”

At those words, Silnia twitched her eyes.
She glanced at Karine, trying as best not to be noticed by Hernán.

Of course, to Hernan, it was all visible behavior.
Karine also caught Silnia’s gaze with a calm expression, as if she thought so.

The elf brought out his words with a very slight trembling voice.

“Agreement? I love dragons…”

“Sylnia. You and I promised to take the medicine to get pregnant.”

Karine spoke with a calm attitude that was incomparable to Silnia.
Silnia listened to Carine’s words with a slightly dazed face.

“I do not remember? Didn’t you say something strange to El in order to monopolize the drug by yourself?”

Are you trying to guess first?

Hernán looked at Karine, who had taken her relatively moderate manner, and stroked her chin.

Will you listen to this and let it go, or will you question it?

If you just go over here, you can end the case relatively quietly.
She’s already pretty intimidated by Karine, who she thinks is the culprit.

Besides, since she has left several hints that she noticed her crime, there is a good chance she won’t do it again.

“Is that so? Sorry. Well, since it’s your right to wish, I should share it with you.”

While Hernan was agonizing, Silnia smiled awkwardly and agreed with Carine’s words.

Her laugh itself is awkward, but the way Silnia participates in Karine’s plot is also awkward.
The fact that a plain woman like Silnia was involved in such a sloppy affair gave Hernán a stabbing discomfort deep in his heart.

It’s not simply a matter of betrayal, but the anxiety and discomfort that the person itself might be an opportunity to change.

Someone who used to be innocent and affectionate changes as he jumps into fierce politics.
He had already experienced something like that once.

Through the woman sitting on the bed right in front of you.

“Sylnia.”

Hernan called Silnia with her cold voice.

“Huh?”

Silnia answers while squinting at Hernán, and Karine slightly frowns her eyes.

Hernán looked at all of that and asked a question.

“How did you get her wish ticket from Karine? It’s very bad between you two.”

“Between Karine and me…”

Upon hearing those words, Silnia held her child carefully.
It is not easy to carry the child with a sore leg, so he is always carried by his mother or father.

And the child’s mother thinks the reason her baby came out injured was because someone attacked her at full term.

Of course, the woman who had been framed for the crime also protested violently and claimed her injustice.

It’s a relationship that can’t really be friendly.
Neither of them has the personality to hand over reconciliation.

Ernan waited for Silnia’s answer, feeling bitter that if he was Carine in the past, she might not have handed over her apology first.

“That is… Hmm…”

The elf hesitated, unable to answer easily.
Karine, who couldn’t see it, tried to open her mouth while shaking her body.

“L! I explain…”

Hernan gave her a brief and bold refusal to express her intentions.

“Don’t open your mouth before I speak.”

“…”

Carine looked at Silnia, only biting her lip.
Silnia was now chewing on her hair and just staring.

Before the two could even exchange signals, Hernán started calling.

“Would you mind telling me? Sylnia, you are also uncomfortable in this place.”

“Karine as a means of reconciliation…”

“Reconciliation? If you made up, why didn’t you brag to me? Silnia would have come to me with a happy face.”

At Hernan’s words, Silnia put on a dumbfounded expression.

“Me, me?”

“Okay. Considering your personality, you would have been the first to come to me and brag that a warrior had knelt in front of me, and you would have told others about it too.”

Even when her implantation blood came out in the past, she thought it was her period and boasted about it.
There was no way Silnia would go around not talking about what the hero had done.

“When I saw Silnia like that, she would have laughed while telling me not to get too excited. Is not it?”

Silnia shut her mouth as if she was speechless.
She seemed to think so too.
Hernán opened her mouth, feeling relieved for some reason as she couldn’t make her excuses.

“Is there any other reason you can explain?”

“So… That is…”

Silnia stuttered her words and chewed her hair eagerly.
Then, little by little, her face turned red.

It didn’t look like he was angry.

At that moment Karine opened her mouth.
What she said was pretty harsh.

“Bad bitch.”

Hernan let out an annoyed voice.

“Karine!”

“Elf! You threatened me! If you don’t give me the right to wish, I’ll bully you. L likes you more than me, so if you just say something…”

“Paoliates!”

In the end, it was only after Hernan yelled at her once more that Karine shut her mouth.

“If you behave like this, I will interpret it my way.”

Hernán looked at Silnia while blowing her cold warning.
When the elf heard Karine’s words, she stopped chewing her hair.

Could it be that he understood Carine’s intentions?

Saying that Silnia, who has a somewhat extreme personality, threatened her and took away Karine’s right to wish.
She’s a bit of a detriment to Silnia, but she’s better than being accused of being an accomplice in the Cookie incident that endangered Potty.

Hernán stared at her, hoping her Silnia didn’t understand that.

However, she clicked her tongue briefly as she watched Silnia’s expression change subtly.

“That’s right… I hold a grudge against the hero…”

Even though her political sense is dull, she seems to have developed some political ability because she is among these bloody women.

Well, if it’s hard to use violence, you have to use her head, so she might be a natural growth.

No, maybe change is a better word than growth.

Seeing Silnia change, Hernán felt confused.

If so, can she just cover it up and move on?

“I forced… By force…”

Even while Ernan and Karine were waiting for Silnia to complete her words, Silnia kept stuttering and not being able to properly conclude her words.

“So, the right to wish… For my baby… So he lied to Ernan that Carine just gave it to him…”

Silnia said that and lowered her head.
Carine seemed to be frustrated, and as she opened and closed her feet on the floor, she sent her silent urges to Silnia.

Hernan also waited, thinking about how to end this case.

However, Silnia said something completely different from what the two expected.

“That’s a lie… I’m sorry I lied to you, El…”

“Huh?”

“Huh… Mi, I’m sorry! Sorry for hiding it!”

Silnia, who suddenly began to apologize, burst into tears.
Seeing that, the hero closed her eyes tightly and opened them.
And she put on a look of frustration.

“Huh, heck, sorry, I thought it would be easier to get pregnant if I used the instant wish ticket… Then it’s easy to fix my child, and the seat with you gets closer… !”

Silnia lifted her face, which was smeared with her tears and snot.
In the meantime, she hadn’t let go of her son and couldn’t wipe her face.

“Sah, actually, I saw the hero sneaking out of the potty room and followed him, and he smelled like cookies. When I ate it, chocolate…”

“Let’s wipe your face first.”

Hernan wiped Silnia’s face with his clothes.
Then she patted her on the back.

“Calm down. I say so.”

“Huh… Therefore…”

“Do not lie.”

Again Karine opened her mouth without Hernan’s permission.
Hernán tried to tell him to be quiet, but the hero spoke out first with an enraged face.

“Recently you! You and Potty didn’t get along. Competing over who will spend time with El, and who will sit next to El before the seats are set! That’s why you asked me to feed you cookies… !”

“What? How could you lie like that…”

Silnia opened her eyes and glared at Karine.
Perhaps under normal circumstances, she would have judged that it would be dangerous if Carine provoked more elves, and would have stopped her words.

Even if Silnia falls over right away, she could be beaten later.

However, the hero seemed to have completely lost his reason, otherwise he shouted in extreme desperation.

“How could you do this to me? I was the one who accepted you as a party instead of handing you over to the security guard, who was just robbing, and I was the one who took all sorts of risks this time!”

Carine said desperately as she cradled her twin in her arms.
But aside from that feeling, the content wasn’t very coherent or logical.

“Even now, the first thing I cried about was trying to change L’s heart! Even though I gave birth to two healthy kids, I don’t get enough attention…”

Silnia’s tear-soaked eyes became extremely bloody.
An said something about her child that stabbed the most painful part of a sensitive woman, so she deserves this kind of look.

However, the hero continued to move her mouth while receiving those eyes.

In the end, Hernan came to the conclusion that it would be better to let Silnia go.

“Sylnia. Let’s talk for a while now. Your room now… No, go to your forest.”

When Silnia heard Hernan’s voice, she nodded her head again with a broken spirit.

“Sorry…”

“Come on, let’s get up. Oh, Sylnia. Talk now, you can’t tell anyone else.”

Seeing the elf go out gently supported, Karine clamped her mouth shut.
Hernando made eye contact with her and opened her door, letting her Silnia out.

Now, the only ones left are the two people with the deepest ties here.
Only two old lovers remain.

Hernán closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and dragged her chair in front of her.
Karine also faced him, correcting her posture while holding her child.

The two remained silent for a while.

* * *

“Now stop lying, okay?”

Hernán broke the silence first.

“And go to Silnia and apologize for what you just said.”

Carine pursed her lips and then opened her mouth.

“Why? You haven’t figured it all out yet.”

“Are you still going to say that?”

“You should listen to me!”

The warrior gritted his teeth and said.

“You only listened to Silnia’s argument.”

“What is your argument?”

“She asked if Silnia had any means to make things difficult for Potty first.”

“Did the elf tell such a dangerous plan to the worst hero?”

Karine almost hesitated for a moment, but she immediately struck back.

“Then who can I talk to? That year, the relationship with the people here is just as bad as mine. The relationship with the demon king has improved a little while worshiping the demon god, but the relationship is still difficult. In the first place, the saintess is not the kind of person who would absolutely help with such a thing.”

“Of course, since Potty is the target of the conspiracy, I can’t harm Potty, so I didn’t tell you?”

“Okay. So, of course, it’s just me. Even elves, if they are sane, will judge that no matter how bad they are, there is a time to use them when needed.”

Hernan said with a laugh.

“A woman who just burst into tears because she couldn’t lie properly thinks like that?”

Karine’s white face turned even whiter.
And she immediately turned red and blue.

“L… You don’t even believe me, but do you believe that elf bitch?”

“That’s not it. When you consider the various circumstances and relationships, what you say makes more sense.”

After hearing that, Carine continued to defend herself and make her arguments.
However, Hernán continued to reject it and objected.

Eventually, she ran out of words, so Karine asked in a subdued voice.

“Then what is your conclusion in the end?”

“You put chocolate in the cookies to poison Potty. Silnia found out about it by accident and fell for your appeasement.”

Hernán calmly organized it.
He said with an expressionless face.

“That’s all. Can’t you admit it?”

“… What if I don’t admit it?”

“You’ll have to argue against me in front of everyone.”

“I bet no one will believe me?”

A warrior who is not trusted by all party members.
There is also a man who was a lover in it.
Hernán opened his mouth thinking that the taste was bitter.

“So that’s why I came here. Let’s end it quietly.”

“Quietly?”

Carine suddenly looked at Hernán with her downcast eyes.

“What if it ends quietly? Aren’t you going to hold me accountable?”

At those words, Hernán frowned.

“No. Not really.”

Hernan, the king of this place, calmly continued his words.

“I can’t get out of control if I tell it publicly, so I’ll crack down on Silnia and keep it as a secret between us. Instead.”

He looked into Carine’s blue eyes.
The eyes were almost corpse.

Seeing that the eyes he had loved and still thought were beautiful had become cloudy, Hernán felt bitter.

“Hand over all your wish rights to me. And for the time being, I’m alone with the kids…”

“L.”

Karine suddenly got down from her bed and knelt down on her knees.

“Sorry.”

“Apologizing like that now doesn’t change the result.”

Karine shed her tears.
She said in a trembling voice.

“Are you not accepting my apology now?”

“It doesn’t mean that. And you always apologize too late.”

Hernán kept a cold expression as he kept telling Karine, who was on his knees, to get up.
The hero looked at the face and spoke quietly.

“Too bad.”

“Too bad?”

“How many years have we accumulated…”

Hernan felt deeply annoyed.

“Hurry up, make a wish and give the children. I want to get out of here too.”

“No matter how wrong I was, how could I be so heartless? You don’t even try to believe me. I’ve built up memories with you that are many times greater than that elf.”

She mumbled.

“Just now, I didn’t care at all, I only took care of the elves. After all, it’s no different than an accomplice.”

A few black rose petals fell on her head as she knelt.
Rose, who was already very skinny, became even more unsightly and placed a black ornament on Carine’s head beneath her.

“How can I be loved again? How many more children can I have?”

Hernán looked into her dead blue eyes, Carine, and she continued to listen.

“Is it okay to just be nice? But if that’s the case, will you gradually forget it? Should I put a spell on her hair?”

Hernan’s eyebrows twitched.
Carine didn’t notice that and continued her words.

“Maybe the dreamer cast a spell? She used her magic and kissed the bunny on her lips. Like me and the elves.”

“Tell me about that. Hand over the kids.”

Hernan is approached to receive her twins from Karine, who seems to be in a bad state of her.
Karine handed over her children surprisingly calmly, and her tears continued to flow.

“Surely it will. Isn’t the rabbit pretending not to know even after using magic?”

“What? What magic did she use?”

“… Here’s the right to wish.”

Karine smiled dejectedly and handed over all of her wish tickets.
One of her wish books had a wish written on it for a medicine that would bring her into childbearing age.

The hero trembled when he saw the children in Hernan’s arms.

“Family… The only link that leads to El…”

Hernan decided that it would be difficult for her to talk to Karine any more today.
He woke up holding her twins.

As he was about to leave, he found a baby bottle on top of a drawer.

If she keeps her kids away from Karine for the time being, she’d better take this.

Hernán went to the door, holding the baby bottle that the hero had carefully carved out of stone and covered with cloth.
He saw Carine one last time before going to the elf.

She was now lying on the floor, crying and muttering something.

“Sorry… I’m sorry for loving you…”

Hernán stood there for a moment and listened.
And he carefully went out into the living room with the child in his arms.

His head is confused and hot.
It’s like a spell that comes with a little headache.

Like the old Karine’s before her brainwashing magic broke, when she made eye contact with her.

He shook her head to shake the feeling away.
Now it’s my turn to talk to Silnia.

With a wish ticket containing her wish.

Leaving behind the hero who wanted to be loved, Hernan headed for the elf who wanted to be pregnant.
