Chapter 252 – Evil Infusion Scheme #2

@@

“How have you been?”

Sylvia’s polite tone.
The doctor replied with a smile.

“Yes. I’m fully back now Sorry for being away for so long.”

“No…! I’m just glad you’re back. By the way… It’s been a while since I’ve seen you? For some reason, I feel that the atmosphere has changed.”

“How is my mood?”

“Yeah… Something a little cold… No. Just forget it I think it was my mistake.”

The doctor looked at Sylvia and narrowed her eyes.
Although she’s pretty quick-witted… She probably doesn’t even dream that she’s an enemy.
The situation is completely under control. That’s it.
The doctor, who had been resting for a while, started the engine to bring out the story he had discussed with Jihyeok.

“It won’t be an illusion.”

“Yes…?”

“You lied to me.”

Sylvia twitched her shoulders.
Looking at her, her serious doctor sipped her coffee and continued.

“I asked Jihyeok, and I heard the answer. Before you called me, you two already charged your Aither. Right?”

“…..”

Sylvia, in her fidgeting, let out a deep sigh.
She almost slammed her head into the table, she meekly admitted.

“Yes… I’m sorry…”

“It is not a tree. I understand your feelings. Are you lying because you don’t want to get away from Adele?”

Sylvia, who had nothing to say even with ten mouths, couldn’t even look at the doctor’s face properly.
Now that the lie is exposed, I want to hide in her mouse hole.
The doctor would have thought of herself as a grown-up… Her image would have been completely slashed by this incident.

“Right… I was wrong…”

“I have no intention of saying anything out loud. I’ve lied often, and I tend to agree with you. How can I blame you for charging to protect the earth? There’s something I always say to Sehwa. Justice and morality are different things. I hope you think so too.”

Justice and morality are different…
After thinking about it several times, I felt the guilt lessened.
After all, asking for help from a doctor seems like a good choice.

“Okay…”

“I will do my best to help you. But what if there is a problem? Then you’ll have to do all the cleaning. Can you be prepared?”

“That, of course…! I begged for help despite my shame, so I’ll take full responsibility…”

“Great. I’m going to call Adele today and dig into this under the guise of counseling. If Adele brings it up then, he’ll pretend to hear it for the first time and try to coax the child out. In the direction you want.”

“Then… Shall I convince Jihyeok?”

“No, I will take care of everything. When it’s over, I’ll let you know the results.”

“Ah…!”

Sylvia, her complexion noticeably brightened, rose from her seat and bowed her head.

“Thank you very much…!”

The doctor clicked his tongue inwardly.
She shouldn’t look at the trees, she should look at the forest, but Sylvia was frantic because she only wanted to cover the current situation.
It’s a state of emergency, but I understand.
Like Jihyeok said, it’s easy because you can make your own plate.
It’s naive Adele. If you touch her heart toward Sylvia, she’ll be able to cook right away.

“Nope. But I can’t guarantee that it will go well. Know this.”

“Yes, Doctor…!”

@@

The doctor was very nervous when he saw Adele approaching from afar.
It was because she was afraid that Magi would be detected.
He took the medicine, and he believed in Marcella’s skills, but he had a heart in case.

“Doctor! It’s been a while!”

Fortunately, Adele, who greets herself vigorously, is as lively as she usually is.
She didn’t notice. The relieved doctor smiled brightly.

“Hi, Adele. Is the tension still high? Nice to see.”

“Thank you! Did you have a good vacation?”

“Yes. Good job. Come on, sit down.”

“Yes!”

Adele, who sat down in her seat, looked at the drink placed in front of her and her eyes lit up.

“Is this Strawberry Cookie Frappe?”

“Well…? I asked for something sweet and…”

“That’s right! It’s something I really like… Thank you!”

The doctor chuckled.
The frappe looks like a child, applauding seals and liking it.
It’s cute though. I could see why Jihyeok cares for Adele.
The doctor, who watched her drink for a moment, brought up her business.

“The reason why I suddenly called you… Is to conduct a personal consultation.”

“A private consultation?”

“Yes. If there are any worries accumulated inside, I want to listen and empathize with them, and if I can give them an answer, I want to give them.”

“Aha…”

“I’ve just finished consulting with Jihyeok and Sylvia… Sylvia is a bit strange.”

Adele, who was sucking on her straw, lifted her head.
Sylvia is a bit strange? What does that mean?
Did she tell the doctor about her obsession with charging her eye ether?

“What is strange about her sister?”

“I don’t know. You seem to have a secret, but you won’t tell me. Is it something to do with you?”

It seems you haven’t said it yet.
Sylvia is a fool too. When a person with a seniority like a doctor says to give a consultation, she even asks how to charge it.

“Whew…”

Adele let out a cute sigh.

“That’s it… This is also my concern, but unnie…”

The doctor, who had been told the truth for a long time, put on a serious expression.
Adele stirred the frappe while waiting for the doctor’s answer.
Before long, the doctor, who had been thinking about something, opened his mouth.

“So… Sylvia wants to recharge with Jihyeok, but you’re very awkward, right?”

“Right. I can understand her position, but Ji-hyeok is a single-minded person who only looks out for me… So it’s a bit like lending it to someone else.”

Are you looking at Adele? It was funny.
If he knew how much he teased his lower body, would he be able to look so innocent?
Perhaps he would purify Jihyeok forcibly, spewing out a tremendous amount of anger.

“What if only Jihyeok was okay?”

“Even so…”

“The trend of monsters these days is strange. There are also monsters that the Evilian Explorer cannot detect. I think Tyrat has the full picture on our side. Yesterday too, Sehwa and Yuria secretly dealt with two B-class monsters that appeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.”

“Is that so…?”

No, it’s not. It was a made up story.
Still, I wasn’t worried at all.
It was because everyone except Sylvia and Adele were in the same room.
Even if you try to confirm it with someone else, the same answer as your own will come out.
The two of them had already dipped their feet deep into the swamp that Jihyeok had laid.

“Aside from your divine power, Sylvia is the strongest among the Beast Slayers. Right?”

“Yes…”

“You just did that. Sylvia’s will to protect the earth is strong. What if such a talented person with a strong sense of justice suffers from lack of Aether energy? Looking at the situation on Earth, she seems to have to prepare for her decisive battle… I don’t have time to relax.”

The doctor was talking around the invitation to borrow Jihyeok.
When Adele understood her intentions and cried, the doctor asked with a slightly softened tone.

“Can’t you understand?”

“Wouldn’t Ji-Hyeok’s intentions matter…?”

“Can I just convince Jihyeok?”

“Yes…?”

“Then are you okay?”

‘I’m not okay…’

Ji-hyeok is a man with a very strong sense of duty, even covering the operating expenses of the company he runs.
If the doctor raised the cause, he seemed to have no choice but to agree.
Alas… Too harsh! How could you put yourself through such an ordeal!

Adele, who had been making embarrassing noises with an extended ‘Huh…’, Perked up her ears at the doctor’s continued words.

“If you just agree, I’ll try to recharge it in a way that doesn’t make you feel bad after convincing Jihyeok.”

“What do you mean…?”

“It is literally. It’s not about touching each other’s body, it’s about charging up with something like a one-sided caress. For example, a high-level massage?”

Adele’s face turned red.
It reminded me of the oil massage Jihyeok gave me.
The ecstasy that I felt when I first received it, to the point of losing my mind.
In fact, I even passed out.

“Aha… Massage… Massage… Ah… I’m suddenly hungry…”

Adele begins to speak gibberish.
The doctor smiled softly.

“Is there something?”

“That’s… It’s a secret… Don’t ask…”

“Yes. I’ll do that. Anyway… Can’t we compromise at this level?”

“Huh… I… That…”

Adele squeezed the cup and closed her eyes.
Seeing as the story of the showdown comes out, it seems like something big is about to happen…
Then, it seems that it is the right thing to make concessions for the sake of the Earth and its people.
It’s hard to see how Sylvia is struggling.
Okay, let’s just allow it this time. For her beloved sister and the Earth.

“If it’s okay with Jihyeok… I’ll allow you to charge it at a very weak level… To a certain extent… Massage it, but don’t touch the most private parts…”

The doctor looked at Adele with admirable eyes.
The conditions were just fine. It was a lie to get approval anyway.

“Adele, I am so proud of you. You made a big decision. Thank you.”

It feels good to say you’re proud, but it’s just too much…
Adele, muttering inwardly, spoke timidly.

“Hey, you must keep your promise…”

“Of course. Did you say you were hungry? Shall we go eat together?”

“I’ll just… Take a break… The doctor speaks well of Mr. Jihyeok…”

“Okay.”

Adele stood up helplessly, bowed 90 degrees to the doctor and left the cafe.
She was in a good mood until the consultation, but now she is bland.
Even though she vowed to think positively, she couldn’t help but feel her heart hurt.
I guess I shouldn’t have come out when the doctor called.

Adele returned home with repeated regrets, and Sylvia, who was eating at her table, tried to smile at her half-face.

“Are you here?”

“Yes… I came after consulting with the doctor…”

“Okay? Judging by the expression, it doesn’t look like much… How was it?”

“Just…”

Adele swallowed the words behind her back.
Despite her troubles, she was grateful to Sylvia for not telling her for fear of harming her.
Adele struggled to answer, sticking out her mouth and suppressing her cries.

“It was just…”

“Can you tell me what happened?”

“You’ll find out soon… I’m just going to sleep…”

“Ah, yes… Are you not eating? I made your favorite carbonara…”

“Okay…?”

Carbonara… I was hungry, but I need to eat and sleep.
As Adele sat down at her table, Sylvia quickly stood up and scooped the carbonara from the frying pan into her bowl.

“Tell me if it’s a hat. I can make more soon.”

“Yes… I’ll eat well…”

Even in the midst of this, her appetite is growing, and she is dumbfounded.
Tomorrow, Sylvia and Jihyeok will have completely opposite reactions.
If the doctor convinces Ji-hyeok, I’ll call him right away.
No, you should go see him and beg for forgiveness unconditionally.
