Chapter 125 – Chapter 119 – Never Make an Elf Angry (7)

Put the finished cookie into your mouth.
It has a sweet yet refreshing scent.

Hernan thought that although the shape was a little bumpy, the taste and aroma were passing the line.

Karine seemed to think the same way.

“It’s delicious… It doesn’t look like Hernán made it.”

Avoiding the hands of the twins, who were not yet old enough to eat such things, Karine continued to stuff the sweets into her mouth.

Hernán simply nodded his head at the words that seemed like a joke or strangely recalling memories.
He picked out some of the sweets on the tray to hand to Silnia.

As Hernán was picking out such pretty-looking sweets in her hand, Karine approached her holding her child.

“Now, here’s a bag for sweets.”

Before she knew it, she had taken an empty pocket on the shelf.
Hernán hurriedly received it, as she seemed quite uneasy holding the baby in her arms.

“I can do this. Don’t be anxious when you’re holding a baby.”

“Huh.”

Karine withdrew, looking at her babies with her bitter eyes.
Thinking that the tone was a bit harsh, Hernán put the snack in his pocket.

With this, the cookie baking time, when the old lover recalled memories, was over.
The moment that brought the past into the present for a moment.

When it was over, the two exchanged only awkward glances.

“Carine.”

In that situation, it was Hernan who spoke first.

“Thank you for your help.”

“… Are you okay.”

Carine hesitantly turned her blue eyes to Hernán.
With those eyes that evoked a range of emotions in her, she spoke her words in passing.

“Do you want to make it together next time?”

It was as simple as breathing out lightly.
I don’t expect much, and I feel like I can just pretend I didn’t hear.

That’s why she feels the lingering feelings she’s been hiding.

“Of course, other women will hate it, but…”

So Karine finally added her words after her.

Hernán tightened the opening of her pouch containing sweets, and she approached the three shining silver hair.

“How to make sweets, it was harder than I thought.”

Karine had a calm expression as much as possible, but it couldn’t stop her slightly miserable energy from leaking out of her eyes.

“But the kids really like sweets.”

Sometimes when I slept with Potty and a lot of sweet food spilled out, the kids made a fuss that day.
So, you probably like the cookies you just made.

“So next time you get a chance, could you teach me how to make it? If you guide me like this time, I will make it.”

Karine’s eyes contained a little trembling.
As if she wanted to hide it, she hurriedly lowered her head in response.

“Huh. I will teach you hard. Call me if you need me.”

Carine didn’t even wait for Hernán’s answer, and she hurriedly left.
Hernán said nothing too, and waved her hand lightly at her twin, who waved her hand at her father.

After Karine left, Hernan looked at her kitchen and the finished cookies for a moment.
And soon she tidied up in silence.

* * *

After washing her body clean, Hernan headed to Silnia’s room feeling recharged.
She must be expecting a lot from Silnia, as she plans to stay with her from today until she gives birth.

She’s probably in a pretty good mood, so she’ll be comfortable discussing how to reconcile with Marina.

With a positive outlook on Hernán, she entered Silnia’s room.

“Ernan is here.”

Silnia greeted him with a quiet voice.
Sitting in her crib, she was fiddling with her crutches, with her son in the crib.

Even considering that she was pregnant, it was not the usual lively figure of Silnia.

Besides, her sharp ears, which usually stand upright, were slightly down, letting her know that she was in a bad mood.

The mood has subsided somehow.
Who did you fight with again?

Or maybe she practiced walking on her crutches again and it didn’t work out and she became depressed.

Anyway, it was clear that Silnia wasn’t looking very happy right now.

“Dad!”

In contrast, her son, Ethan, didn’t seem particularly upset.
Rather, she flung her arms, as if pleased with the presence of her father.

Looking at her condition, I don’t think she fought with anyone or wrestled with something that didn’t work with her.

Hernán opened her mouth, bouncing her child’s cheeks.

“Sylnia. Why is she holding her crutches?”

“Crutches?”

It was her face that only when Hernán spoke did she realize she was holding it.

“Ah… I was just imagining my kid practicing walking with it after his leg healed.”

“Okay? But why is your face so dark?”

Leaving the laughing child, he sat down beside Silnia.

“Shouldn’t he be happy to imagine our son getting better?”

Sylnia smiled.

“That’s right. That’s right.”

But again she returned to her hardened face.
Her eyes also seemed to keep looking away from her, and her hands also gradually turned white because they were gripping the crutches.

Hernán spoke to her, placing her hand on top of Silnia’s.

“What are you worried about? Are you afraid that there will be another problem with childbirth?”

He tried to snatch her crutches from Silnia’s hands, but she kept them beside her so Hernán couldn’t take them.
In the end, Hernán felt that now she had to finish the question.

“Or are you still bothered by the fight with the saintess?”

She looked at Silnia’s expression and took out the cookies she made earlier.

He refrained from showing it now, fearing that the son who smelled it might ask for it.
But seeing an elf like this, first of all, I wanted her to get rid of the gloomy thoughts she had in her head right now.

“Look. It doesn’t look very pretty, but it tastes and smells good.”

“Dad! Snack!”

Perhaps because she resembles Silnia and has a good sense of smell, the child immediately recognized sweet-smelling sweets.

Hernan kept in mind that he would brush his teeth later, and she handed one to the child as well.

“Delicious!”

“You say it’s delicious? Would you like to try one too? First of all, try tasting it and reconciling while explaining the sweets to Lenny. In the meantime, while I was talking to the saintess…”

“Marina said you don’t have to apologize.”

Have you met already?
And besides, Marina already said it was okay?

“Did you meet while I was baking cookies?”

“Huh. He said that since he’s fine, he doesn’t have to apologize for her wrists.”

Did Silnia say sorry to Marina first?
So she said Marina said she was fine?

Hernán thought it was surprising, and she still handed over her snack bag.

“I still have to reconcile with Lena. She must have been very scared of you.”

“Do you really have to?”

The elf muttered as he accepted the snack bag.

“Do I really need to reconcile with him?”

The unexpected words narrowed the gap between the brows.

“What? Of course you should! Are you going to keep letting him scare you?”

“It’s a man anyway.”

Soon the only sound in the room was the sound of a child chewing on cookies.

Hernán suppressed her breathing as much as possible, which was about to become slightly rough.

“Nam?”

“Okay. Am I wrong? He and I are just here together. If I go out, won’t I see you anyway?”

“He’s your son’s brother.”

Silnia fell silent again.
However, Hernán did not suit the silence and continued to speak.

“She is also the new born sister. But just a stranger?”

“Do you want to say family?”

The elf continued asking questions with a gloomy face.

“Then, are the other women also family?”

If she had asked him if he was Hernán and her family, he would have said yes without hesitation.

But now, Silnia’s words hit a point that even Hernan couldn’t answer easily.

“Are me and Potty family? Or the warrior and me? Me and Marina?”

If you gather all the women here and talk about reconciliation among their families, you will get a very awkward reaction.

Potty and Sharpie might find each other friendly, but other women don’t like each other very much.

In particular, if you say something like Karine and you are family, not a few women will be shocked.

To be honest, even in Hernan’s own opinion, it’s hard to draw how they treat each other as family.

“Hey, El.”

While Hernán couldn’t answer her, Silnia brought up a nickname she didn’t usually use.

“You… Do you love me?”

A woman who has given birth to a child of her own and is also carrying one of her own.
She enjoys mixing her body every time, and she loves spending time with her.

And she has shyly revealed her ardent love to herself.

“Huh. I love you, obviously. Both as a family and as a woman.”

Silnia’s expression shook greatly at Hernan’s answer.
But she soon bit her lip, restored her original hard expression, and opened her mouth.

“Then what about Marina or Lenny?”

Regarding Lenny, I can answer at once.
But what about Marina?

The saintess has been actively intermingling with her lately, and even when we spend time together, we always feel a strange sense of distance.
You might be able to feel her friendliness or a sense of security, but it is difficult to answer her love, as her Silnia says.

However, Hernán quickly opened her mouth thinking that she would not be able to answer if she hesitated here.

“Love you. Both of them.”

The elf stared at Hernan’s face.
It’s like trying to determine if what you just said is true.

Can an elf with all her senses be able to read other people’s expressions well?

Sylnia immediately laughed.

“My head hurts from trying to have a difficult conversation that doesn’t suit me.”

She was as confident as usual, but with an expression that looked like she was going to eat someone.

“Love you. So show me your love too.”

“As a husband?”

The elf’s eyes widened for a moment.
She blushed and stuttered her words.

“That, yes… As a family and companion.”

Saying that, Silnia leaned against Hernan.
She’s not just touching her skin to skin, she’s trying to caress her by keeping her hand moving.

“An elf is devoted to his family. I know?”

Even though she was in her caressing position, she was breathing heavily.
Hernan thought of spending the night in a way that would not put too much strain on her body, and she lightly kissed her.

“You show it every day.”

“That’s right. I’ll show you every day, every day…”

Silnia didn’t say anything more after that.
As if she was going to release everything with her body, she put her body on top of Hernán.

* * *

-10 hours later, in the morning. Garden

“Kyaaaaagh!”

Marina screamed at the blunt impact on her forehead.

“Mom!”

Even from outside the garden door, Lenny’s startled voice could be heard over and over again.

The saintess stumbled and touched her forehead with her less painful left hand.
Then something hot and sticky touches it.

It soon ran over her forehead and into her eyes.
Marina hastily wiped the blood from her and stepped back from her.

“Poem, Sylnia! If this is the case, the devil or Hernán…”

“Fuck it. You said the Demon God couldn’t interfere properly here?”

The saintess held her breath as she saw Silnia approaching with her crutches in hand.
Instinctively, she retreated to the center of the garden, where she felt a strong sense of divine power.

“Is it because of the right to wish? But I’ve explained everything to you! I can’t use it any more.”

Blood dripped into the clearing in the middle of the garden.
Silnia saw that and answered with gritted teeth.

“Is my child’s future in jeopardy? Are the gods branding my child?”

She gripped her crutches harder.
And she never jumped, slowly approaching her saintess.

The saintess, who had already been beaten hard on her wrists and knees during her first surprise attack, could not get out of her sluggish pace.
Just dragging her dizzy body around her garden clearing.

Silnia cried out loud enough to echo through her garden as Marina was almost within reach of her crutches.

“Do not be ridiculous! After all, I outlive my child! If you’re worried about your child’s future, you can protect him and live with him. And pray so damn hard to the gods that please end the stigma with me alone!”

“Please! It’s that easy… Kuck!”

The saintess hit her chest directly and fell behind her on her crutches.

“Huh… So you want to kill me? I’d rather beg for the wish ticket to pass…”

“Kill? No. Why do I kill you I just need to make sure they don’t interfere with the writing of the wish ticket.”

Silnia’s hand on her crutches trembled.
Marina felt something surreal about the sight of a full-term pregnant woman overwhelming her.

“Only the body… You just need to break your body in moderation. Do you hate having children anyway? You don’t even think about your own child.”

Marina realized what Silnia was talking about.
She instinctively wrapped her self around her belly.

“Sylnia! Do you believe that Hernán will impregnate you? You will be hated!”

A plan to knock Marina out of the race for her rank.
There, the saintess felt fear.

Silnia showed her anger at such Marina.

“You’re not saying anything!”

“Keuk… !”

Marina felt a sharp pain in her arm wrapped around her belly.

“And you still have to have a lot of kids to get out of here anyway! Potina Sharpie is suffering from her pregnancy or childbirth, and that heroic bitch is hated by Hernán! Besides, there are also medicines for fertile, so I can easily get pregnant too!”

Silnia muttered in a trembling voice as she pressed her saintess’ stomach.

“And… And I don’t know if you don’t even like Elle, but I’m like Elle and her husband and wife.”

Silnia spoke softly as if talking to herself.

“El will understand. Clearly…”

Marina saw a magic circle rise in the air at that moment.

“Stomach!”

“Uh?”

It was only then that Silnia must have noticed the existence of the magic circle, so she looked up.
However, the magic circle kept blurring and appearing, as if something had gone wrong, she repeated.

The saintess felt despair at that moment.
There is no magic itself here, and it is full of divine power that erases magic.

It is the worst space for demons who use magic to interfere in a crisis.

When Silnia also crumbled without the magic circle functioning properly, she lowered her gaze again.

“Did you?”

Marina was terrified.
A place where there are no gods or allies.

The elf said he would simply make himself sterile, but that wasn’t going to be that easy.
It will surely damage other parts of the body greatly.

She struggled to move her body, but her whole body was already in a situation where she couldn’t move properly because of the pain.

Seeing Marina like that, Silnia took a deep breath and continued her words.

“If your leg is broken, I can go out and fix it.”

Silnia pulled out her words, which Marina did last time.

“So, go out and mobilize your connections and get treated well. If you wish, use a wish ticket.”

Elf Silnia held her crutches high.
Saint Marina tightly closed her eyes, preparing for the pain that would soon come upon her.

-Bang

Then the door opened and there was a loud bang.
Both Sylnia and Marina saw the entrance to the garden from which the sound was heard.

There, with a shining magic circle as the background, Hernán was running through the air.

“Stop!”

Almost lightning speed.

“Ugh!”

Silnia bit her lip and slammed her crutches down.
