Chapter 261 – Stop Nagging

@@

Sylvia, who had spent some time not knowing whether the rice was going into her mouth or through her nose, refused Ji-hyeok’s offer to take her away and took a flying taxi.
After she entered her destination, she was lost in her thoughts.

She honestly knew that Jihyeok would be angry like fire.
However, he was calm. As if she had anticipated her own outburst.
What does this mean? Are you saying that she will accept your heart?
Or did she just move on because she thought it was a mistake?

‘I don’t know…’

I have no idea what Jihyo is thinking.
Still, it seemed like a positive reaction, so Sylvia had hope.
Leaning her body against her seat, she suddenly slammed her head on the seat in front of her.
She remembered Adele.
OK,

[Do not damage any property inside the Flying Taxi.]

A mechanical sound came from the taxi’s speakers.
A very angry Sylvia stared at the black box inside her.

“What kind of damage is damage! Is my head a stone? Shall I break the chair?”

[Do not damage any property inside the Flying Taxi.]

“I won’t break it!”

[Inside the Flying Taxi…]

Sylvia, who had been arguing with her, let out a blank laugh when her tremendous sense of shame came over her.
What are you doing right now… I feel sorry for myself.
In the end, she calmly arrived in Uijeongbu.
Having stopped her taxi even though it was not her destination, she put on her thick jacket and started walking home.

‘Cold…’

It was too windy.
Autumn is said to be the season of loneliness, and her side was cold.
It’s winter soon… Then it will be more cold.
Sylvia sighed heavily and stopped at her convenience store to buy energy drinks and snacks.

“Hello, Mr. Sylvia.”

The words of the always lively clerk.
Sylvia with a gentle smile pulled out her card.

“Hello. How is your day?”

“Like. How about Sylvia?”

“Me too… I like it. How much is it?”

“It’s 5,600 won.”

After completing her checkout, Sylvia said hello to her clerk and then hesitated as she was about to leave her convenience store.

“Is there anything else you are looking for?”

A friendly question from the clerk.
Sylvia hesitated for a second before examining the clerk’s face.

“No… That…”

She appeared to be in her early twenties.
Her heavy make-up made her look sexy, but she wasn’t a dog like Adele, but a cat like Sylvia herself.
The ring is… A coupling was put on her left fourth finger.
There was no one in the convenience store. It’s a quiet neighborhood, so I don’t think customers will come for a while.

Sylvia, who finished all her grasp, asked in a cautious tone.

“Um… If you’ll excuse me, may I ask if you have a boyfriend?”

“Yes I have it. Why are you asking?”

“Ah… It’s nothing… There’s a guy I like, and I’m curious about how we’ll develop our relationship. Do you have any tips?”

If it was originally like this… She wouldn’t even ask a question that wasn’t like herself.
If only she hadn’t liked Jihyeok.
What is love… Her heart throbs while being complicated.

“Are you the man Sylvia likes? I think anyone would accept it if I just confessed… Her face is so pretty…”

Sylvia smiled helplessly.
Because she didn’t want to hear that.
She was talking to the clerk from the bottom of her heart.
However, what Sylvia wanted was realistic advice.

Would her sincerity be conveyed?
The clerk hesitated, then opened her mouth.

“Um… I was kidding. I don’t know if this will help or not, but for now I…”

Sylvia listened carefully to what her clerk had to say with her ears perked up.

“Yoo Seung-hyun disappeared?”

“Yes. I’ve been in touch with the head of the room salon… He said he stopped working about a month after he broke up with her queen. She only said that she was going down to Geoje Island…”

It’s Geoje Island… Are you thinking of going to work at the shipyard?

“Which house did you live in?”

“There is a new tenant moving in.”

You left the room. Well, I’m going down to Geoje Island, so I’ll have to take it out.
Hearing Marcella’s report, I shook my head.

“I get it. Don’t move it yourself, use humans to find it.”

“Yes, I think you can find it quickly if you ask several secret agencies.”

“How is Aether cloning going?”

“It’s slow, but it’s progressing steadily.”

“What is the status of the Demon Realm?”

“I have no idea. Shall we send another follower?”

Fuck, it’s my hometown, but it’s ridiculous that I can’t even go there because it’s dangerous.
What if the monsters revolt collectively?
Shouldn’t I, the Demon King, be in a position to protect the Earth?

The more he thinks of Pandemonium, the more his anger toward Rosario rises.
Why do you annoy me so much when you bring an unfamiliar power like divine power…

“Send it. Spread them out one by one this time, and try to scout them for a day or so and bring them back. I hope at least one of them comes back alive.”

“All right.”

Ugh-!

While I was plotting her future with Marcella, I picked up my phone when I received a text message from Chae Bo-young.

[I have finished preparing for the concert. If there is a date you want, please let me know.]

[Is it possible anytime?]

[I’m thinking of opening an outdoor or simple art center in the form of a surprise concert. It’s impossible today or tomorrow, but it’s possible anytime from two days later.]

It is the optimal condition for familiarizing only with the face.
I had no intention of attacking Stella now.
However, it was necessary to imprint the owner of Aether.
To prevent you from going to someone you don’t know.

[Catch it for dinner three days later. There will be a lot of strange people outside, so avoid it and go to the art center.]

[Yes. Since it’s a hall, I think it would be nice to sell tickets, but I’ll tell the agency.]

[Do it. Did you talk to Stella?]

[I told you that I would introduce you at a concert soon, and I was really looking forward to it. We are currently working hard on practice.]

[Okay.]

Come to think of it, I forgot to mention that I would take care of the paparazzi around Boyoung.
I stood up from her seat and relaxed her frowning body. I gave an order to Marcella, who was kneeling down on her knees.

“There will be paparazzi around Chae Bo-young’s house. Make them into my family and send them to the Pandemonium.”

“Yes, Demon King.”

“Go back. Good work.”

Marcella bowed her head once and disappeared through her portal.
Empty living room. It’s nice to feel something eerie.

I have already decided who I will go to the concert with.
It was Sylvia.
Because? Aether must be kept by her.
Also, if Adele meets Chae Bo-young, there is a risk that Magi will be discovered in a situation where malice is still lacking.

I immediately called Sylvia.
Before her beep was gone, she answered the phone.

-Say it.

The voice is quite bright.
Did you just skip over the kissing incident and do that?

“Do you want to go to a concert?”

-Concert…?

“Yes, you know Chae Bo-young, right?”

-Know. You are the most famous singer in Korea. I also listened to a few songs.

“That person changed her agency this time, right? Sooner or later, the art center will be rented out and a surprise concert will be held. I was able to get information in advance because the president of the agency was quite close to me.”

-Okay…? You want to go see me…?

“I do not like it?”

-I-I like… Go with me.

Consent came right out of the box.
I answered while lying on the sofa scratching my legs.

“I will tell you more details when the date and place are decided.”

-Yes.

“Have you eaten dinner?”

-Not yet… I’m preparing a dish to eat now. What about Adele? Are you with me

“No. I’m still playing with Sehwa. I am home now. If you have nothing to do, would you like to meet in the lab?”

-I like it. So, shall we go without eating?

“I hear you are preparing a dish. Please bring a packed lunch.”

-Okay. Then I’ll make it soon.

“Yes, please be careful.”

I hung up the phone and put on my coat.

**

Click.

When I opened the lid of the thermal lunch box, steam began to bloom.
Fried rice with bacon. Just by looking at it, it looks very delicious.
After receiving a spoon from Sylvia and taking a bite of the fried rice, I nodded.

“It is delicious. The liver went well.”

“I’m glad…”

“But don’t you have any vegetables?”

“Hey, vegetables…? It’s in fried rice.”

“How can you take care of your health if you only eat this? You can learn about people’s eating habits by looking at food. Don’t just eat greasy food every day, eat vegetables as well.”

“Sounds that don’t sound like words…”

“I’m just saying that because I’m worried.”

Sylvia answered in a crawling voice.

“I’ll take care of it…”

“I don’t know what to do… Sylvia-san, eat quickly.”

“Yes…”

So we ate fried rice in the lab without saying anything.

Sylvia took a bite of her meal, looked at her device, and did it again.
Something seemed restless.
Like a girl on the verge of being scolded by her father.

‘It must have been transformed.’

Just looking at it, it was like that.
The question is, why did you transform… Let’s eat everything and ask.
Silently emptying the fried rice, I waited for Sylvia to finish eating as well.
Then, when she put the spoon down, she asked.

“Why do you keep glancing at the device? Let’s take a look at the charge.”

“What, what…?”

You can see they are all visibly upset.
If you want to act, do it right…

“It was definitely 89 percent last time, right? Please press the button.”

“Why me…? Why should it be?”

“You are doing something suspicious. Try pressing it.”

“Nope…?”

I clicked her tongue once, I grabbed Sylvia’s right hand and put it on her lap.
She burst into exclamations of ‘Ah…!’ And her face turned into a feeling of frustration.
I pressed the charge indicator button on the device,

Click.

I narrowed my eyes when I saw the number [88%] Appearing in the air.

“What is this? Why is it 1 percent off?”

“…..”

Sylvia bit her mouth tightly.
Her willingness to exercise her right to remain silent is palpable.
However, when she saw my questioning eyes, she confessed with a sullen face, as if her heart was broken.

“Bye, when you transform, your complex mind is settled…”

Even before charging, she had changed by citing a similar reason, but it seemed that she relied heavily on the device.
Understanding goes. From her point of view right now, if she doesn’t catch her heart, she’ll have a hard time.

“No matter how hard it is, isn’t it too little without a sense of crisis after charging so hard?”

“Sorry…”

“For Sylvia, 1 percent is very precious. Are you saying this because you don’t know that?”

Sylvia was furious.
But because of the sins I committed, I couldn’t bring myself to argue.
All she could do was grumble at me in a small voice.

“I know… I know… So stop nagging…”

“I haven’t even started yet, so what are you going to stop doing? Why are you doing this without an alternative plan?”

“I have a plan…”

“Don’t try to defuse the situation with lies.”

“Oh, it’s true…! I have a plan… It’s a problem because I only have a plan…”

“Okay? Then let’s listen to it. What is the plan?”

At my words crossing her legs, Sylvia pursed her lips and she asked.

“If you knew, would you help me…?”

“I have to help as much as possible.”

“…. Great. I…”

Her lips quivered.
There are words she wants to say, but her mouth doesn’t seem to come out.
I patted Sylvia with her fingers on the grater beside her keyboard.
Then Sylvia, who was making her embarrassed expression, closed her eyes tightly and raised her voice.

“I will charge with you…! Oh, and on and on.”

Tok.

As soon as Sylvia finished speaking, my fingers stopped moving.
