Chapter 146 – Chapter 140 – Balancing (4)

Carine’s room was filled with soft light even when all the lights were turned off.

A warm yet strangely cool light.
It was the glow that emanated from the glass bottle in which the new blood she spat out before was trapped.

At first, when I vomited that up and was extremely rejected by everyone, every day was a pain.
And no matter how much I wrapped it in a towel and wrapped it in clothes, the radiance of the new blood leaking out made it difficult to even sleep.

But now I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me too much.

Then, even looking at this sleeping pill, will one day feel no emotional agitation?

Carine stared at the small vial in her hand.
There were small pills about two-thirds of the bottle full.

“Did I hate you that much? No matter how much I think about it, I am the one who hates and gets angry…”

The anger that had been suppressed because I was too busy in the morning.
For lunch, the man I love, and the sadness I forgot because I was with the woman I hated from the beginning.
And in the evening, the sadness that was just exhausted from a busy day.

All of that comes to the fore on this night without Hernán.

Karine made sure that both her own child and her Marina’s children had gone to bed, and she wept.

“I can’t sleep.”

In this bright darkness, unable to sleep, the warrior held the sleeping pill left by the wizard in the light.

The sleeping pills mixed with all kinds of dangerous drugs were discarded, and Hernan received only the normal sleeping pills.
Realistically, he can’t sleep with himself every day, which is a must for a good night’s sleep.

But looking at this drug makes her insomnia worse.

“Ugh…”

A numb feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen.
It was a feeling that came little by little after giving birth to twins.

So she just thought the postpartum pain was long-lasting.
Or maybe she was under so much stress that her body wasn’t fully recovered.

But once I learned what Forty’s peppermint sleeping pills did, that naivety faded.
Instead, the overwhelming anxiety came with the same pressure.

“Menstruation… When did your period come?”

She slowly rummaged through her memory.
As recent painful memories had passed, her pre-pregnancy period came to mind.

Since then, she has never had her period.

Of course, it is natural for a woman to stop having her period for a period of time after giving birth.
Even menstruation comes back later when breastfeeding, so the current menstrual irregularity may be a natural phenomenon.

Didn’t Silnia also fail to conceive as she couldn’t get her period right for nearly a year?

So it must be that even now it is simply a stomach ache caused by excessive stress.

Karine struggled with her tiredness as she soothed herself.

“Shall we eat… ?”

The rabbit’s medicine that made him suffer.
But this is the only way to get out of suffering now.

The hero carefully removed the cap from the bottle of sleeping pills.
Soon, a sleeping pill rolled into the palm of my hand.

“I have to take two of these to fall asleep these days.”

She measured the amount of sleeping pills.

If you take two pills at a time, the amount will be over in about 50 to 60 days.
What if Potty gets out of solitary confinement after all this is gone, and doesn’t show a cooperative attitude toward others?

Karine let out a deep sigh.

Hernando didn’t say a word, but as if he was concerned about the situation, he would spend a considerable amount of time with Potty at every meal.

However, seeing that his face was not very bright, it seemed that Potty did not show the least attitude for compromise or reconciliation.

Of course, the victim himself didn’t want to talk to Forty with that attitude.

“I still can’t help it… For now, I have no choice but to eat today.”

Carine, deciding that it would be difficult to sleep through the night, put her sleeping pills in her mouth.

Sleep like fainting now…

“Good night!”

“Town!”

When the demon king suddenly came in and greeted him with an innocent face, Kido, who was surprised, swallowed the medicine instead of his esophagus.

“Cuck!”

Carine threw herself on the bed, coughing desperately.
Seeing that, Sharpie approached with a startled face.

“What, what? An extreme choice?”

“Turn it off… !”

Karine pointed to her back with her bloodshot eyes.
And banged her fist on her bed.

Fortunately, Sharpie seemed to have figured out what she meant right away.

“You want a pat on the back?”

The sharpie started slapping Karine on the back.

The hero agonized over whether this could be regarded as a surprise attack by the demon king, and coughed with all his might.

* * *

The dreamer made an apologetic expression and waggled her tail.

“Sorry. I was startled the moment I was about to go to sleep.”

“Go away if you know.”

Carine made sure that no one was awake and spoke harshly.

“Does a bitch called a dreamer come to disturb people’s sleep?”

“Isn’t it too early to go to sleep? These days, we have a lot of kids, so we generally go to bed late.”

Besides, everyone here doesn’t know that Karine has insomnia.
Especially after Potty’s sleeping pill incident, it must have been more imprinted in everyone’s mind.

The hero regretted that he should have taken a sleeping pill at once instead of worrying, and glared at the dream horse.

“Okay, so turn it off. I heard you slept with Ernan until today and sent it to me from tomorrow?”

“Hmm… You talk as if you made a deal.”

Sharpie smiled strangely.
Then Karine instinctively felt her body shrink.

The demon king and the hero have already made several transactions.

The first was obviously a verbal conversation.
She decided to help herself, who was trying to conceive in an unlikely way, with the ability of a dreamer, and in return, give her the right to wish for her next birth.

One of them was given to Silnia, and the other was confiscated by Hernan and could not be kept.

Still reluctant, Sharpie secretly proposed a second deal.

Don’t be too hostile to yourself in exchange for the wish you didn’t receive.

No clear words or writings were exchanged.

It’s just that Sharpie didn’t give a damn about Karine’s failure to keep her last promise, and she only asked for a strange favor.

The most representative is to draw a picture of all the people here laughing in the garden.
She asked me to paint it in a way that would be modified when a new person is born or when a child grows up.

It’s a very annoying picture in many ways, but I don’t want to fight and argue over the broken promise, and the hero was in a very tired state at that time.

So Carine painted in silence, and she endured the sharpie who came to see the painting.

“Hernan seems to be spending time in Silnia’s room, so can I stay here for a while?”

“… Get out as soon as possible.”

And she still laughed and couldn’t tell the dreamer who was putting pressure on her to go out with a stronger tone.

Eventually, the demon king moved the chair right in front of Karine’s bed with a smile that made the viewer’s eyes tickle.
Coming very close, she looked at the hero’s blue eyes, her red eyes sparkling.

“Are you tired these days?”

“Where is the other person?”

The hero murmured, avoiding eye contact.
However, the demon king turned her body around and observed Karine’s face and eyes.

“Especially Karine, I’m asking because you look tired.”

The Sharpie ran her eyes through Karine’s silver hair, and she gently moved her pony tail to her Karine’s ass.

Shaped like her tail had grown from her hips, she continued in a slightly subdued voice.

“Did you just try to take sleeping pills?”

“Under… Yes, I was going to take sleeping pills. Are you staying here just to tell me something everyone else knows?”

Carine grabbed her by the tail and timidly threw it away.
Sharpie seemed to like the feel and closed her eyes gently.

She said, and with her eyes closed.

“I’m so sorry about the sleeping pills.”

Karine looked at Sharpie who snorted at her and opened her eyes slowly.

Each time her red eyes, shining more and more beautifully with the brilliance of her divine blood, gradually revealed their appearance, Karine felt even more magical.

No matter how much you think about it, it’s hard for a woman to like those unpleasant eyes.

After all, isn’t Potty’s close friendship with Sharpie not simply because he’s good at it, but because beings with unusual bodies get less of this unpleasant sensation?

Or simply a lover… Since this is a woman who received the first sex of a man who used to be, it could be that this side is in a particularly bad mood.

“I really didn’t know that Potty would even do something like that.”

“It has nothing to do with me now, is this?”

The hero felt absurd.
And she felt that the swirling emotions in her heart coalesced into simple hatred.

When the woman she hated brought up the story of her villainous bunny, her suppressed emotions were about to spill out without stopping.

She forgot that Sharpie had done her a favor by sending her Hernán, no, she was even more angry that she was using her favor as a weapon to come to her, and she opened her mouth.

“Actually, demon lord, didn’t you order it? Potiya is a stupid rabbit who always listens to you, so he might have encouraged you to attack me, a hero.”

“It really isn’t. It’s not my body’s way to do such dangerous things.”

“Your way? Does that mean you have your own way of beating and crushing others?”

Karine felt that she was simmering with emotions that had been burning for the first time in a long time.

The negative emotions that burned inside every night are now external enemies.
Her focus was on a woman she had never thought of as an ally.

“Well, since you’ve crushed a lot of men with that filthy body, you must have your own way of being confident.”

The dreamer’s expression subtly changed.
Karine felt depressed for some reason.

However, the dreamer soon opened her mouth with her lively face.

“Shall I tell you?”

“What? Tell me what?”

A dreamer with a look that every man should look at at least once stretched out her legs.
And she crossed her legs very slowly.

“How to please a man. An ability that is instinctively innate to any dreamer.”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Sharpie opened her eyes and wiggled the tips of her white toes.

“A small gift from the devil for a woman who will soon know the love of a man again.”

Carine looked down in frustration and stopped.
She focused on one of Sharpie’s words.

“Would you like to be loved by a man again?”

“Okay.”

Sharpie laughed seductively, covering her mouth with her tail.

“You don’t believe that nothing will happen while you sleep alone with Hernán, do you?”

“Huh, don’t be silly!”

Karine made a loud noise, forgetting that her children were sleeping.
The sharpie then hissed and whispered.

“Karine is really pretty. She honestly, the first time I saw her, I thought she was a dream horse and not a human.”

“Is it a compliment… ?”

“Huh!”

For a moment, Sharpie’s face was filled with sincere joy.
I couldn’t believe it, but the dreamer’s words really seemed like compliments.

A real compliment that comes from the bottom of my heart.

“Hernando in my heart…”

Sharpie cut her off halfway through and moved her red eyes curiously.
It was as if she was making eye contact with an imaginary figure out of thin air.

But she soon cracked a deep eye smile, and she ended her eye contact with the imaginary counterpart.

“I want to sleep with you. I just can’t do that for a number of reasons.”

Karine felt a strange feeling.

The words she always wanted to hear.
But she gave no one, and even Karine herself, the encouragement she never believed anyone else would give.

In particular, it was the first time I heard such candid consolation from a woman.

“Oh…”

Karine felt that she was horrified that she had ever come up with the word encouragement or consolation.
Obviously, this demon was doing this to mock or harass her, but she felt relieved after hearing only a few pleasant words.

For a while, she became a hero who faced the demon king, and she let out a determined and sharp look.

“I’m just going to sleep. I don’t want to hear any more of your lewd and vulgar words.”

“Ah! I also liked this arrogant and cool-headed Karine.”

The sharpie seemed amused and crossed her legs.
Of course, Carine became more uncomfortable.

“Go away. You’ll be really good now Wouldn’t it be hard for you to leave your room alone for longer, too?”

Sharpie shrugged her shoulders.
I’m sure you’ve left the kids too long.

However, instead of leaving at once, the dream demon spoke to Karine.

“Can you sleep?”

“It’s possible if you go out.”

“I’ll leave when Karine lies down.”

“Really… !”

Karine tried to burst her insides, but she felt that she didn’t want to fight any more and she lay down.

“Get out now.”

“If you don’t like the small gift from the Demon King, I’ll give you the Dream Demon’s gift.”

“What?”

The dream horse Sharpie suddenly became sleepy.
Then, slowly, he muttered something and leaned over Karine’s body.

“Devil!”

The Sharpie’s finger touched the forehead of the startled warrior who was about to stand up.
Her fingers were trembling as if from exhaustion.

“Good night. Have a nice dream.”

“Uh… ?”

“And if you like this present, play with me again!”

Karine closed her eyes before answering.

And she let out her words like a sigh.

“L…”

“Oh, don’t forget to change your sheets the next day.”

Sharpie staggered as he left those words.

“I’m going to die… I didn’t have enough energy, but I used magic.”

She walked around Carine’s room like a sleepwalker drunk in her sleep.
And she reached out her hand to something that suddenly caught her eye.

“Black rose… Do you still have this?”

A rose that had become ugly because Karine had forcibly attached her petals to it was stuck in a bottle.

The dreamer plucked the black rose and carried it out, she whispered to it.

“You are my own. Forever.”

Sharpie smiled as he looked at Carine as she immersed herself in her good dreams for the last time.

“A species that does not know love. Nightmare wants that too.”
