Chapter 259 – Invitation

A hum comes out of nowhere.
I can’t contain my excitement
Adele detected only one demon out of the five people I sent.
Currently, I was in a state similar to that of a person with the highest demonic energy among people who could not be detected.

Compared to last time, the magic power inside the body is more than doubled.
Enduring the pain while injecting malice into it worked properly.
Of course, it was still at a shabby level, but what is it?
Progress is visible.
While dazzling Adele in this way, I will slowly return to my original body.

Hehe…”

I let out an uncharacteristically low laugh, then cleared Sylvia’s throat when she called.

“Hello.”

-Jihyeok.

Her voice was a bit serious.

“Yes, Mr. Sylvia.”

-Is it time?

“Um… I’m on my way to see Adele.”

-Okay…?

“What’s wrong with your voice? Did something happen? Shall we talk for a bit when we get home?”

-Nope. I’m out of town right now… So it’s going to be a long story. Contact me when you have time

Long story… Curious?
I’ll have a look tomorrow

“All right.”

-Did you eat? Do you want to eat with Adele?

“No. She said Adele ate, so I ate too. How about Sylvia?”

– I just finished exercising and ate too. Have a good date, and please contact me. Understand?

“Because I know. Do not worry.”

-Yeah… Good job…

Sylvia just said what she had to say and hung up her phone.
Now, I want to inject malice into Sylvia as well.
It makes me sad to see the only one in love.
As I thought last time, you should treat me well.

Arriving at the Uijeongbu annex, I tried to call Adele.
However, there was no such thing at all.
It was because Adele, wearing a boxy hoodie, opened her front door and jumped in.
You’ve been waiting. She is also my Adele.

With the passenger door open, I shared a passionate kiss with Adele in her car.
Afterward, she asked as she tidied up her hood.

“It’s also cold, so can you survive wearing that?”

“Uh, you’re only going to be indoors anyway.”

“I was thinking of taking a walk in a place like Hangang Park today.”

“I… Want to be inside. Let’s go to Jihyeok’s house…!”

“Is it my house?”

“Yes…! I’ve never been to Jihyeok’s house before… I want to go today…”

Come to think of it, it was.
Every time I met Adele, the lab, hotel, and Uijeongbu ended.
It’s a house… The house in Eunpyeong-gu was a bit like that to take now.
Because the doctor’s clothes were all over the place.
In that case, an officetel in Handae Street would be better.

“Then shall we go to my house today?”

“Joe, good…!”

Adele jerked her body like someone who couldn’t hide her excitement.
Going to my house, an unknown place, in itself seems to be exciting.

“All right.”

**

Upon arriving at her officetel, Adele meets her unexpected guest.

“It’s Sehwa!”

She was holding my hand tightly, and when her Sae-hwa entered her common entrance, she rushed to her and hugged her.
The appearance of Sehwa was surprising to me as well.
Because I didn’t say anything to her.

“Adele! It’s been a really long time?”

Sae-hwa, who expressed her delight with warm words, stroked Adele’s head.
Adele, feeling Saehwa’s touch, asked.

“Yes! But why are you here?”

“Why are you here… Didn’t you know I lived here?”

“You live here?”

“Yes. The house was destroyed when I became the Beast Slayer. At that time, Jihyeok saved the house. Live next door.”

“Yeah…?”

Adele turned to me with her long tongue.
Why didn’t she tell me, she seemed to be in unspoken protest.
Is it an illusion to feel something in the eyes?
When I laughed awkwardly for no reason, Sehwa made her meaningful face and said,

“Right. I forgot to bring a book for my homework. I’ll have to go back to school Let’s go play together again soon. Understand?”

“Ah, yes…”

Sehwa soon left the common entrance, waving her hand at us.
A completely unexpected person… No, Adele, who faced her demons, stared at me.

“Jihyeok, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Was it important?”

“Of course…!”

Adele, who tried to raise her voice, shut her mouth.
Because there was a person in the elevator that came down just in time and opened.
Waiting for him to get off, Adele took my hand and entered the elevator.

“What floor is it on?”

I swallowed my saliva at the cold tone and quickly pressed the 25th floor.
Inside the elevator that goes up quietly.
Adele looked up at me with her clear eyes, she said.

“Mr. Jihyeok really… You have a knack for making me angry!”

“If this was something important, I would have said it right away.”

“Of course it matters! Is it not important that a colleague lives next door?”

“I just didn’t tell you because I thought there was no relationship between us…”

“That’s true, but…! Oh… Ahh…”

Adele clicks her tongue and shakes his head.
She was angry, but it seemed that her jealousy was also mixed into it.
The appearance of Sehwa helped.
I got off the 25th floor, acting as someone who didn’t know what to do, and entered the password for the door lock.

Knock-!

“Wow…!”

As soon as the door opened, Adele burst into exclamation at the view of the spacious living room.
To be honest, the interior is not impressive at all…
I guess just coming to my house was a meaningful thing in itself.

When she realized she had been fooled, she came back to her newfound self.
I asked, scratching her head shyly.

“Eh, since you’re home… Can I get you some milk? If you are sitting on the sofa, I will…”

Before I could finish my sentence, Adele put her ass on her couch and crossed her arms.
Then she looked back and forth between me and her fridge.
Recognizing that this action meant that I should hurry up and get the milk, I quickly opened the refrigerator.

I asked as I took out a cup and poured milk into it.

“Shall I add sugar too?”

“Yes. Heat it for just 20 seconds.”

“All right.”

I watched Adele’s eyes while the microwave was running.
Should I, the demon king, be like this? No dignity lives.
Revenge for this long time of humiliation and persecution will be done in bed.

I took out the moderately warmed milk and took a sip of it without thinking.
Then Adele scolds me with her eyes shining.

“Mr. Jihyeok! What if you drink my milk!”

I guess I was just waiting for a mistake.
I was about to apologize, but I laughed at a good idea that suddenly came to my mind.

“Where are yours and mine between us?”

“Oh…!”

Yes you did don’t you have anything to say?
This is the devil’s improvisation.

Adele’s eyes widened to make a terrifying expression.
However, the original body is cute, so there is no damage.
I approached her and offered her milk.

“Please eat.”

“… My anger is still unresolved. I hate the very fact that there is a woman other than me next to Mr. Jihyeok.”

Be more jealous Let malice grow.

“That was your true intention.”

“Yes that’s right…”

“Then I will have to quit headquarters. That’s the only clear point there.”

“That… It doesn’t matter in terms of work…”

Adele pursed her milk and pursed her lips.
I said after wiping the milk from her mouth.

“When Sehwa first transformed, her house was completely destroyed. The headquarters exists to deal with monsters, but it is also operated for the welfare of Beast Slayers.”

So it was only natural to help.
Adele understood what I was saying, but sulked as if her chest couldn’t agree.

“At that time, there was no annex where Adele and Sylvia were living, just a laboratory and this officetel. I gave it up because I needed a house to live in. I can’t make them sit on the sidewalk.”

“It is, but…”

“Not only Sehwa, but Yuria also lives here.”

At those words, Adele’s eyes widened.

“Yu, YuRia unnie too…?”

“Yes. I live next door to Sehwa. YuRia was also homeless, so I brought her along, and now the two of them have adjusted well. In the midst of this, you can’t just tell them to move away, can you?”

“Ji, Jihyeok must have met those two a lot…? Go, did you eat and drink together…?”

“I’m busy with work, and the two of us can’t meet often because we’re living our lives. It’s been a really long time since I’ve been to this house. And I only met Adele recently.”

Looking at his expression, he understood, but still seemed dissatisfied.
I put my hand on Adele’s hand.

“I would be very grateful if Adele would be generous and understanding… Can I ask a favor?”

“…..”

“Yes?”

“T-don’t look at me like that…!”

“How?”

“Mr. Jihyeok… I like the smell of your house…”

She turns her words around.
Anger seems to have melted away.
After all, eyes filled with love communicate well.

By the way, when I recall Sehwa’s first transformation… I also remember him.
Yoo Seung-hyun. Why did I forget about this bastard?
After entering and exiting Yuria’s dream, she had completely erased it from her mind.

Where is he going now? Are you still working as a waiter at that hotel?
Marcella has been out of work there for a long time… She’ll have to look for it.

“It’s a black cherry scented air freshener. Would you like to see my room?”

“Yes…”

I took Adele by the wrist and entered my room.
A door that opens quietly.
I see a well-made bed and a thick blanket with white flowers on it.
Adele asked, looking at the bed with a face full of anticipation.

“Can I lie down…?”

“Of course.”

As soon as permission was granted, Adele threw herself onto the bed.
She pulled her blanket up to her face and giggled.
It’s like a stalker who sneaks into your house smells your body and likes it.
Then, after checking that there were two pillows, he asked.

“Why are there two pillows?”

“One is for hugging and sleeping.”

“Umm… Is that…?”

Adele began to examine her pillow in cat pose.
It looked like an action to check if a woman had hair, so I stumbled on the bed for no reason.
I almost forced her to lie down next to her, tugging at her waist so that Adele couldn’t think of anything else for her.

While I was tickling her like that, Adele, who had been tickling her, removed my hand from her while suddenly turning her face.

“Mr. Jihyeok, I sensed demons in my neighborhood today.”

I know. These are the people I sent.

“Is that so?”

“Yes… Five teachers from daycare were taking the children somewhere, and I felt it from one of them.”

“Did you clean up?”

“Of course. As soon as I saw it, I immediately applied my strength.”

I stroked Adele’s head as she spoke proudly.

“Good job. Was Magi only emanating from one person?”

“Yes… Why?”

“No. It would have been a problem if all five of them gave it a go. It’s fortunate that there is only one person.”

“That’s right… I’m really worried. Besides him, there must be many people who have been encroached on by the Magi… Tyrat is doing a very evil thing. I think they’re doing such a nasty thing because they can’t even let out monsters.”

Sorry for being rude
But you’re so strong you have to be careful!

“I see. He’s a really nasty guy. Trying to hold a child hostage…”

“I see! When we meet, we will bring down a righteous judgment with the power of Rosario.”

What’s up That Rosario-sama’s power is slowly eroding.
You don’t even notice my magic right now. So can you judge?

“I look forward to it. How will Tyrat react?”

“Obviously he would be scared. Maybe get down on his knees and beg him. But it’s already too late. I have no intention of forgiving Tyrat.”

You are already too late
And the one who has no heart to forgive is Rosario, not me.
You, who even appointed me as a deputy, are slowly degrading, but you’re just sitting by the sidelines.
To leave such a lovely person alone… You must be a bitch with rotten eyes.
Later, when we go to Heaven, let’s say we give Rosario a new eyeball.
