Chapter 134 – Chapter 128 – Confinement (7)

Morning and morning also passed without hesitation.

Adults who now carry out busy parenting, which is no different from everyday life, did not even have time to talk to each other.

But everyone seemed to be aware of the changes that were coming today, even without talking to each other.

“Everyone gather around.”

When Hernan finished washing and dressing the children, he called the women together.
They gathered in front of Hernán with the expression that something had come.

“Gather more. Don’t let the kids hear.”

Hernán looked sideways at her children, particularly Lenny, and beckoned to the women.

“You know that Silnia is coming up today, right?”

“Huh.”

Sharpie was the only one who answered.
The other two were silent and just looked at Hernan.

The only difference was that Carine had slightly warm eyes, and Potty had a look that was a mixture of tiredness and slight nervousness.

“I will bring Silnia soon.”

Hernán didn’t say anything about those expressions, and only brought out the necessary words.
I’m too busy to focus on Silnia right now.

“All the children are being looked after in the nursery of the saintess’s special room. I will transport you alone.”

“Will Ernan be okay alone?”

Sharpie also asked a question in a concise tone instead of his usual smirk.

“Doesn’t your back hurt? No matter how much you bring a girl, the opponent is a woman who is pregnant. Wouldn’t it be better for one of us to help?”

“I’m okay.”

Hernán firmly shook her head, revealing that he had no intention of arguing.

The Demon King also noticed that intention and immediately nodded her head.
Then she opened the door to Marina’s special room and began leading her children.

“Okay. Then we’ll go in Have a safe trip!”

I’m not going anywhere, and I’m not going to hunt monsters.
No matter how much he hurt his back, it’s a bit excessive seeing him off.

Realizing that Silnia’s reputation among adults was quite ruined, Hernán headed downstairs to her.

The steps I ran up to get to Marina in the garden a few weeks ago felt so long.
However, the stairs I’m going down now led to my destination so quickly that I wondered if it was originally this short.

When I open the downstairs entrance, I see a solitary cell at the end of the hallway.

Taking a slow, deep breath, Hernán calmly headed for the door.

“Sylnia.”

Knock on the door and open it

There was Silnia, who looked like her body wasn’t particularly damaged, but her soul was.

“… Isn’t it lunchtime yet?”

“You know why I’m here.”

She strode toward Silnia, who pretended not to know.

“I told you yesterday, you know? From today, I will go upstairs and spend my days.”

“Still locked up in my room?”

“It will be better than here.”

Hernán took Silnia’s blanket and clothes that she used here.

“Come on, take my hand and get up. Go up and see her son’s face.”

The elf’s ears twitched as he continued to answer bluntly and without energy.
Seeing that his eyes were also trembling, it seemed that he desperately wanted to see his son.

But the elf bit his lip and spat out the words.

“You said you were going to come back here after having a baby, right? Then does she really need to go up?”

She raised her eyes to Hernán, placing her hand on her belly.

“Fuck… What does that mean? To stay stuck here without a single blade of grass? Lenny, do you know when he might accept me?”

A tougher attitude than usual.
It seems to be a little forced to get angry.

If so, this is your chance.
Intuitively, I sensed that now was an opportunity.

“So you won’t go up?”

With a cold face, Hernán also took the plate that had the breakfast on it.
It was completely empty, so there was nothing to get his hands dirty.

“Send my baby here. I’d rather have my second child here and live with Ethan.”

At Silnia’s words, Hernán looked to see if there was anything else to pack.
And it wasn’t until Silnia was about to wink her eyes that she nodded.

“Anyway.”

It is a reaction that is neither emotional nor harsh.
It was so peaceful that if someone saw it, they would have thought it was the attitude of asking how the weather was today.

Maybe that’s why Silnia couldn’t speak for a while, and she stared blankly at him.

“… Eh, Hernan?”

The elf widened his eyes and stuttered.

“What, what are you talking about? Am I just going to be stuck here?”

“You say you’re better off here?”

Hernan answered calmly.

“After Ethan’s leg heals, he’ll practice walking and play with his brothers and sisters. Then the time to find you will be reduced? There is no reason to worry that the child is alone here.”

Silnia, whose face color changes every second while she is talking.
I don’t see such an honest response right away.

If so, she wouldn’t have been locked up here at all.

“You wouldn’t want to live with your son in confinement either, so stay with me only when I come to put him to sleep. Sometimes, I’ll make a present out of grass and flowers with Ethan in the forest.”

“No, I mean that…”

“If you don’t mean that, then what?”

Hernán stood on the doorstep and sat on his back.

“My back hurts. Do you want to speak quickly because you don’t want to stand for a long time?”

“Eh, Hernan… !”

She hurriedly got up and stood in front of Hernan.

“Don’t you miss sleeping with me? Don’t you miss walking in the woods with me!”

“Tell me if you will come out soon. This door won’t close unless I lock it.”

Silnia had a similarly shocked face as she almost got stuck here.

“L! Hey, don’t you love me now? Is there a second one in me?”

Hernán spoke solemnly, desperately holding back the corners of her mouth going up for the first time in a long time.

“I wish I could step back. So that we don’t blush at each other.”

“Ugh, ugh… !”

Silnia’s face flushed bright red as her hands trembled anxiously.

I will cry soon

Hernán subtly slipped all of her belongings into one of her arms.
She then tightened her back muscles, using her free arm to prepare for any eventuality.

“Huh… !”

Tears welled up in Silnia’s eyes.
I assumed she was going to cry, but when she looked at it, she was kind of sick to her stomach.

“I am… I love you!”

Me too.

She was silent, swallowing her words that were about to spring out automatically.

Silnia became more restless at the reaction and shouted.

“I missed you every day here and even masturbated!”

The bitterness in my stomach started to fall on the other side.
Hernán took her tantrum with a little sincerity.

“You said you were going to apologize to the kid and not be sorry for your wrongdoing or something like that?”

“No! I made a vow to live a quiet life from now on!”

“But you say you won’t go out and hold on?”

Silnia’s tear points glistened with her tears.
In the end, she clung to Hernán, crying profusely.

Hernán quickly reached out with her free arm so she could hold her by the waist and pulled her body back.

“Why are you doing this, Sylnia!”

Silnia cried indistinctly, not much different from her own child’s crying.

“Don’t leave me! Since I really did everything wrong, can you please let me go now? I hate coming here again! I want to sleep with you and my child again…”

“That’s only possible if you behave properly.”

Hernán brought up yesterday’s work, making her face as hard as possible.

“When Lenny heard that you were coming tomorrow, she started the game and cried. I have no idea how to appease her.”

Her elven body staggered because of the raging emotions.
Hernán gritted her teeth as she felt that her strength was also good.

If she loosens up here, she can get out of the waist as it is.

“I’ll even kneel in front of him! I’ll say I’m sorry to Marina too, so don’t let me go!”

The effect is much better than I thought, but should I take this opportunity and tell them not to worship the devil at all?

After thinking about it for a while, Hernan decided not to present things that were too difficult for Silnia.

“Me and Sylnia.”

He slowly pulled Silnia out of her cell.
She came out of her huddled stance and looked at Hernán with her moist eyes.

Hernan decided to ignore her runny nose, and she said softly but firmly.

“You don’t have to kneel in front of a child. The important thing is to get along with Saint Marina so that the child can feel at ease.”

Sylnia’s expression became trembling.

“I get along with Marina… ?”

“Okay. You always make things happen because you can’t control your emotions soaring at the moment. But if you just kneel down to say sorry for a while, it won’t be any different from before.”

Hernán continued her words, thinking that he was slowly helping Silnia.

“Do you remember the conversation we had the morning of the accident?”

“Uh? Yes…”

Silnia spilled her tears on Hernán’s forearm with an expression she barely remembered.
Hernán said softly, ignoring the tears and stickiness.

“Let’s go up with me while looking back on the conversation we had that day.”

What a troublesome elf.
Originally, elves tend to be calm and docile, but Silnia is not like that at all.

Every time he bursts into anger, and if he can’t hold back his anger, he gets into an accident that he can’t handle.

To be honest, not all such accidents are tolerated even now.
I don’t believe that Silnia will change at once.

“The conversation we had that day… Did L tell you to show a good side to the kids? Will I live longer?”

But at the same time, he is an elf that is hard to hate.
She is open about her self-affection even though she always seems to be grumbling, and she really loves her children too.

Hernan nodded her head while walking side by side with Silnia.

“Let’s go up first. Because your punishment isn’t over yet. We can talk more slowly about the details.”

Silnia’s pointy ears drooped again.
But she nodded her head gracefully, and walked holding Hernán’s arm.

Hernando now looked in front of Silnia instead of Silnia and spoke softly.

“First of all, let’s come up with a plan to reconcile with the saintess and Lenny. I will participate as well.”

He paused in front of the stairs.
It was because the pain was creeping up in her lower back.

But Hernán puts her foot down with the full-term Silnia.

Climbing up was hard for him and for Silnia, but he couldn’t stand still.

The injured elf and the injured human headed upward together.

* * *

While Hernan was meeting Silnia, Potty in the nursery quietly talked to Sharpie.

“Ho, did you use magic yesterday?”

“Did you feel it?”

Although I was asleep yesterday, I felt her magic wave.
She guessed maybe she was the sharpie in the living room and stayed quiet.

“Yes…”

Potty was very nervous and looked at Karine.
Carine seemed preoccupied with reading fairy tales to her children.

“Why did you use magic?”

“Not a big deal. Hernán asked me to show you.”

“Yes? Are you okay though?”

The demon king smiled calmly.

“I only showed you a very small magic, a spark bouncing. Anyway, that’s the limit with my current magic power.”

When Potty heard that, he said something that came to his mind.

“Sharpy also needs a mana stone… Ah! Sin, I’m sorry!”

Most of the magic stones are recovered from the corpses of demons.
However, talking about the magic stone in front of demons was not very wise.

“I’m sorry if I offended you…”

The demon king only slightly tilted his head and asked a question.

“Does Potty want to receive the magic stone as a wish ticket?”

“Yes…”

Sharpie hugged Potty and whispered.

“Forties… To be honest, I wish the magic stone wasn’t here.”

“Hey, don’t you feel bad about being a demon?”

“Can you understand? And don’t be too greedy. Are you already guaranteed the position of queen?”

“Queen…”

Hernan said that she did not guarantee her affection for a seat.
However, the thought that she might fall from a high rank always gave Potty a feeling of uneasiness.

The reason was that she didn’t even know.

“Still, if I could use magic, the warrior would never treat me carelessly, and it would be of great help to everyone.”

“Forty already helps everyone a lot! Besides, Karine can’t touch you anymore, right?”

The Sharpie soothed Potty in a voice that was still alluring.

“Let’s find another place to write a wish. Or you can keep it well for future births.”

A Sharpie that feels stronger than usual for some reason.
Potty didn’t feel like arguing with such a Sharpie.

She nodded her head, pushing her desire for her magic stone into a corner of her mind.

“Yes… I will.”

“Be nice, our Forty!”

Potty twitched her tail in delight as her Sharpie hugged her.

I always feel good because I wonder if this is the love of parents I have never received.
After receiving this, he seemed to have a sense of what to do with his children.

“If you like the Sharpie, I like it too!”

Potty soothed her regret by leaning on her affection.
Of course, it wasn’t as easy as she thought.
