Chapter 347 – The Elf Sisters (23)

“Eugene.”
“Ugh.”
It’s a surprise!
I left Niel’s room and went to my room, but I heard a voice calling me right from behind. He is our pathetic butler. This guy sneaked up behind me to surprise me on purpose, that’s for sure!
I strained my eyes and looked back.
“Hey, pretend to be popular and go. You could have come forward, but did you deliberately call from behind? Not very interesting?”
Rebecca asked a little hastily if she didn’t want to hear my scolding.
“How did Niel-sama…”
Rebecca uncharacteristically slurred her tongue. I’m curious about the results, but I’m also anxious. Tsk. Yes I will take a look
“It works.”
Rebecca’s ears perked up. She looks in my direction as the tips of her ears her, which don’t even move very well, point. Rebecca froze as she did.
“…”
I don’t think this guy is even breathing?!
“Are you okay?”
At the touch, Rebecca flinched and she stepped back.
“Sigh.”
Rebecca, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath, took her trembling hands and bowed deeply to her.
“Thank you very much. Thanks to Eugene-nim, it’s only now…”
Rebecca’s voice her trembled slightly. Yes, this guy must have been in a lot of trouble for a long time. It’s only natural that this happens when you hear that a problem you’ve been struggling with might be solved.
But since she’s the guy who usually tickles her head down like this, it’s very burdensome. That’s not what I want to see! Do as usual!
And above all, she’s still not sure if she’s going to get it right in the end. Because Niel has a lot of problems.
“For a moment. Listen to me first It’s not completely resolved yet.”
“… What do you mean?”
Rebecca looked up at her and looked a little uneasy. But she can’t say that she doesn’t have what happened.
“I’ll wash up and come back, so gather all the kids. You are coming too Oh, leave Niel to rest, and even if he does, don’t let him come.”
“Has anything happened?”
Rebecca asked with her strained eyes.
“Yeah, there was. But since it’s something we all need to talk about together, I’ll tell you at once.”
Niel’s other personality problems. We need to find a way to solve it.

After washing, everyone in the drawing room was gathered except for the glass.
“What about glass?”
“You haven’t come home yet.”
It’s getting close to dinner time for this guy and I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing. Do you shop all day? Alone?
I opened the minimap. Expanding the scope… We’re almost there. An icon of glass was across the front door.
Still, it seems to have come in time for the evening. But why so slow?
Yuri’s icon is fluttering uncharacteristically. Why is this impatient guy hesitating like this?
I went to the window of the parlor.
“…What is that?”
Guy Yuri was whimpering with his hands full of something. It looks like a shopping bag from another world…
“What did you buy to keep your hands full like that?”
Before I knew it, Lenny, who had come next to me, tilted her head.
“I’ll see you in a minute.”
“Ah yes.”
As I went out to meet him at the front door, a welcome expression appeared on Yuri’s face his.
“Can I help you?”
“Ah, thanks then… “
Yuri stopped talking to her and shut her mouth, and she backed away with a wary look.
“Oh, no. Done. It’s okay, I can do it myself, so there’s nothing to worry about!”
“…”
It is an expression that hides something suspicious to anyone.
Afraid. What kind of stupid thing is he laying the groundwork for, and what kind of conspiracy is hidden in that shopping bag!
“…What is all that?”
At my question, Yuri hissed with wary eyes.
“Well? It’s private life, it’s private life. Don’t you think to see? Wasn’t it your brother who said that no matter how deep your relationship is, you need privacy?”
…That’s true, but did I say that to Yuri?
“When did I?”
Yuri said pathetically with her stupid looking eyes.
“Why did you do that to that weird blonde? Even married couples need privacy?”
“…”
Holy shit! It did! That stupid Black Flame Dragon tried to cling to it so much that I tried to get it off with words like that! But you’re using it here?!
Damn, I don’t know what to say.
“I will help you.”
Rebecca appeared and approached Yuri. Yuri wondered if it was only me, she shook her head and handed over her luggage to Rebecca.
“…Thanks.”
“Because everyone is waiting in the drawing room.”
Rebecca’s tone was very strange. As if she always helps reluctantly… This guy is a tsundere. What is it? There was no way Yuri, who was fast enough to read the atmosphere, could not stand still.
“What, are you saying she wouldn’t have helped if I didn’t wait?!”
“I didn’t say that.”
As the two bickered, they climbed the stairs and disappeared.

The drawing room where everyone finally gathered.
“Once, it definitely has an effect.”
At my words, everyone noticeably relaxes.
Lenny, restless, let out a sigh of relief, and Yuri, who had been sitting leaning towards me, buried her deeply into the sofa.
Ariel nodded her head without any change in expression, as if she had received a word from Rebecca beforehand. Well, it would be natural to do so.
“What, is it not good? But why are you setting the mood like that?”
I put on a serious expression at Yuri’s grumbling.
“It is correct to become Haeju with divine power, it is correct to become Haeju. There are side effects that are difficult to describe precisely.”
Everyone’s body stiffens at the sound of side effects. Feeling the focused gaze, I continued.
“Your personality changes when you do it.”
Yuri made a face as if asking what she was talking about. Not only Yuri, but her other children her as well.
“What do you mean by personality change?”
“I covet the essence, but I become very active. As if it were someone else.”
“…”
Ariel’s brow furrows, and Rebecca’s expression wrinkles. Lenny’s eyes widened, and Yuri looked at me with a pitiful expression as if asking what the hell she was talking about.
“What, did you call me this just to say something like that? Nothing special Even if it’s just the older sister right now, her eyes go round when she sees only the older brother… “
“Mister Yuri! When did I do that!”
At Yuri’s words her, Lenny screamed at her with her face blushing. However, Yuri had a sullen attitude.
“Whenever it was, it was always like that. I did it every time I saw it, but you know it’s really disrespectful to say I didn’t? Completely blindfolded, always telling me to get out of the way and saying it’s my turn… “
“I-I-I’ve never…!”
Leni stopped talking and looked at me as if asking for help.
But… I don’t think Yuri’s words are wrong… But I can’t side with Lenny…
A helping hand came from the side.
“I wish I could tell you more.”
Ariel had a serious expression.
“Isn’t it often the case that you can’t control your words and actions during an act? But what if your personality changes? Are you saying it’s not at that level?”
“Okay. Right.”
At my low voice, Lenny and Yuri stopped bickering and looked this way.
Confirming that everyone’s eyes were gathered, I explained what had happened with Niel.
With the direct injection of divine power, the curse was clearly becoming a curse. However, when a certain amount of divine power is absorbed, a red-eyed personality appears.
That personality had the exact opposite personality of Niel… And tried to extort life force while controlling my body.
“Extorting life force?!”
“Oh, are you okay?!”
Ariel opened her eyes.
“…I can’t believe it.”
“Isn’t there any reason why I should lie?”
“…”
Ariel shut her mouth with a confused expression. Yeah, she suddenly says that her sister has a double personality and that’s not enough, and she’s going to steal her life force like a vampire… Even I wouldn’t believe it.
“?! Les, Leni, wait, it’s okay!”
“It’s not okay!”
Lenny ran up to me and listened to touch her body her. And Yuri, who should have stopped it, was staring at Ariel with an angry expression.
“You’re taking away my life force. I haven’t heard of that. I just knew that it was a test to see if a curse would work or not. Weren’t you hiding it?”
“It’s never like that.”
Ariel responded immediately, but Yuri still grewled.
“If this side is dangerous…”
“For a moment. Yuri.”
I took Yuri’s hand before he could say anything more.
He seemed to know what Yuri wanted to say. I will never refuse, so I will become a villain. But I won’t let that happen.
I said in a serious voice.
“I can handle it.”
“…”
A look that seemed to be trying to explain. Feeling eyes on the other side, I glanced and saw that Ariel and Rebecca were making desperate expressions.
I swallowed dryly and then explained.
“If Niel’s… I don’t know what to say about that. Anyway, if it was just sucking life force, it might have been dangerous as you said. However.”
“However?”
“That personality seemed to covet not only vitality, but also spirit. So if you pour your energy to the limit, you can’t stand it and fall asleep again. Do you see what I mean?”
“To…”
I waited a moment for everyone to understand what I meant.
It means pouring regularity to the limit. Slowly, her face her starts to turn red. It seems everyone understands.
“Do you think I will lose a fight like that?”
“…”
Yuri shut her mouth, staining her face red.
“Hmm. Yeah, so, as you all know, if you put up a fight like that, I’ll never lose. It is the most powerful grace among the graces bestowed by the Goddess.”
Crusader’s performance.
A powerful authority that nullifies not only sexual acts, but also any effects mediated by or derived from sexual acts.
“However…”
“Because it’s okay.”
Yuri didn’t say anything more when I confirmed. In comparison, Lenny had been quiet since before, but he was biting his lip. He can’t say that he shouldn’t be treated in the position of being a priest.
Ariel lowered her head slightly and said.
“…Thank you for taking the risk. To think that such a thing would happen… Then we’ll have to devise our own countermeasures.”
“What are you going to do about it? Are you going to watch from the side and then intervene?”
At Yuri’s dumbfounded words, Ariel turned her head away and avoided his gaze at her.
“Hmm. Mmm. If you need it, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
“What, really?!”
Yuri’s face was astonished, as if he had heard something he couldn’t hear.
“It’s crazy! You’re really crazy, you’re saying you’re staring at it from the sidelines? Are you a voyeur?”
“…”
Everyone stiffened. Well, if you think about it, even the middle of these guys is Kannon… No, in this case, should I say Qing Yin? After all, I was stealing from the next room! If I hadn’t kicked it out, I would have listened to it until the end.
But glass is glass. I was a bit… Stunned.
“I don’t think that’s what you meant.”
“What?”
“You were also scolded while watching Ariel’s turn the other day. What…”
“Ouch! Aww!”
