Chapter 280 – Confessions of a Dead Nun

Chapter 280: The Confession of the Dead Nun

〈 This episode proceeds from Lumika’s point of view〉

“Uh… ?”

I make a stupid sound without even knowing it.
Brother… She knew she missed her.
Yes, I knew’was’.
Still… Still, I can’t help but feel that my heart sinks when I hear it with my own ears.
Because knowing and feeling are different.
And the feeling… It’s hard

“Rebekah… You’re back…”

“Uh, huh?”

“Too… I miss you…”

A husband who ends up in tears.
Mind… Torn
Now that his body is moving, he raises his hand in the air and grabs my hair.
I wore my hair in a long ponytail today.

Hold on.

Grabbing my hair tickling his nose… Who smells the incense.

“” “” “…”””””

Very affectionate
That hand gesture is so affectionate… I can’t possibly watch it
An act of remembering the dead nun she missed.
… You probably did it often in your lifetime.

Everyone was frozen in motion.
Including Sir Angela, who came back into the room after stealing tears, and Marianne, who was being treated with all her might.

Yes, this guy is a romantic.
When that romance goes to the dead, not to anyone else… I really don’t know how to win.
The dead don’t complain, don’t get annoyed, don’t have conflict.
Only bright memories remain and hover by his side.

“Rebekah, why don’t you come out even in my dreams these days… ?
Promised to come often…”

I… Answer instead.
I answer in place of the dead nun.

“… That’s right.
I was supposed to go see my brother, but I’m sorry.”

“”””!!!!!””””

Yes, now I am the first wife.
I know that woman was talking about her brother in her lifetime.
But… The woman she should have called her real brother was me.
I should have been by my brother’s side.

… I’ll be patient one more time.
If it hadn’t been for the hypnotic pills, my eyes went round, and I hadn’t fired magic dyes and fought.
If only I had been by your side since the attack on the saintess.
Could Sister Rebekah remain so deeply in his heart?
Maybe this is all my fault?
My brother living with this woman in his heart, and me competing with a dead woman, and with a human woman at that.
Isn’t it all because of me being twisted and twisted?

… It’s all pointless thinking.
It’s empty.
Remorse, exhaustion, regret… Throw it all away

Yes I live for today
I will be by your side, and I will reassure you.
Now I’m going to make my brother happy.

“Your majesty…”

Shh.

Stop Nene from trying to dissuade me.
I… I will replace
If there is someone who creates a void in my oppa’s heart, I will fill it anywhere.

That’s the man I loved, the man who loved me.
The law I love

“No, I’m sorry…
You you… I can’t protect you… Whoops.
Love… 끅, I love you… Ugh, only at the end, so to speak, uh, too… Really sorry…”

Tight.

“… Are you okay.
It’s okay, brother.”

My husband shedding tears of remorse.
Hold your brother in your arms
Hug to the chest
Say it’s okay, hug me

“Hey, heck, hey…”

“Are you okay.
I knew everything.”

“Huh… Huh?”

Pat… Pat…

I soothe him once again slowly, just as I soothed him in the bathroom one day.
I will hug him
Will soothe
I will pull you out of the wounds of the past.
It will make it all better
I feel sorry for the one I couldn’t save, and I feel guilty for the lover I left.
I’ll embrace you all

If not now, he might not be able to shake it off.
Didn’t I tell you that this woman doesn’t appear often in your dreams?

Now.
Right now.
The words he most wants to hear, he will embrace them with the words he longed for.
… That was probably what the dead nun wanted to say.

“… My brother loves me, he knew from the beginning.
Even if he didn’t say a word, he could feel it with every look and gesture.
Therefore… Don’t pay too much attention to my late words.”

“Huh!”

Marianne, who had stopped treatment and hardened, only shed tears.
She covers her mouth in response to the outburst of crying.
However, there is one more person who remembers her and her cry, no, her demon.

“Huh, huh… Uhhhhh… !!”

Pat, pat. Tight.

“Right… It’s okay, it’s okay, bro.
… Don’t worry and rest.
I heard it all, and I knew it all before that.”

Perhaps if Sister Rebekah appeared in her dreams, if she really loved our brother Kamu, she would have said this.
She would have soothed me like this.
Therefore… Don’t be too upset if I replace you.

[Sure.
Rather thank you.
The words I wanted to say, the comfort I wanted to give.
For replacement.]

I don’t know.
Why does the voice of a dead nun I’ve never seen resonate in my heart?
You must have liked this man too.

If I had died before this man…
Couldn’t I have been hovering around this man for so long without returning to the black sun?

I look around at the sudden look in my eyes.

– Why are you even doing that?

A silent wail.
Meanwhile, Marianne asks me with her eyes.

Shhh.

Silently, he just puts his index finger in front of his lips.
Because now my brother comes first.

“Uh uh… Ahhhhh… Kkeuk, kkeuk…”

Pat, pat.

“Hush, hush…
Let’s get some rest, bro.”

A cry that gets louder and louder.
My brother hugged me like that, and his clothes were wet with tears.

* * *

“Thank you.”

A break from treatment for a while.
The other priests went in and treated me, and I came out for a while to rest.
The others are still in the room watching Kamyu oppa.
Seeing me come out, I think Marianne followed.

Nod

Marianne bowed in greeting.

“Demon King… I never thought you would understand my friend that much.”

“No, nothing to say.
I did it for my older brother.
And what about the story, I heard about it.”

“Why did you go that far?
… Although I’m proud of myself, I felt like I was competing with the dead, so I was worried that I would get hurt.
I’m sorry that you seem to be carrying more burdens.
If, by any chance, you were considerate of me, who came for treatment…”

“No.
It’s not like that.
I really did it because I thought of my husband.
If only the nun was alive… If that orange-haired nun really loved her brother… I thought she would have said that.”

“…”

“I am a demon, but she is a human.
Listening to her past life and actions… She believes that, like me, she must have been a warm-hearted woman.
A desire to alleviate the guilt of loved ones and to live happily ever after.”

“You heard about my friend?”

“Zach, Ludwig, yes.
The demons I met told me about it.”

“Amazing.
To think that you could imitate my friend so much just by hearing about it…”

“It’s not imitation.”

“Yes?”

“Listen.”

Place both of her hands on her waist.
I have to teach this novice lover with big breasts a lesson.

“All women in love behave alike.
If you feel that my behavior is the same as that of my former friend, it must be because I have the same heart.”

“…”

“I’ve never seen that nun before, so there’s no way she could be the same, right?
… They’re just of the same mind.
Whether it’s demons, humans, or fairies… Anyone.
The facial expressions, tone and gestures of just thinking about the one you love… It’s all the same.
Because I Love You.
Because that person would hope that her demons would not be hurt.
Thank you so much for remembering me, but I’ll think it would be nice if you didn’t get sick because of me.
If you stay and live happily, if you cherish my memories… You’ll think that’s enough.”

“… It seems that the Demon King thought so too.”

“Yes.”

Immediate answer.
Assurance.
Assertiveness.
Why?
‘Cause I’ve come to a conclusion in my mind

“Then… Really Rebekah… Did you love Mr. Kamu?”

Now it’s ‘Mr. Kamu’.
It has changed

“Yes, of course.
If you were anything like me before, you would definitely be.”

Firm answer.
Sure

She is conflicted
She throws at her one word she has been thinking of.

“The day before I got married.
My husband begged me in advance.”

“Yes? What?”

“She has women she loves so much that she wants to get permission to marry them in advance.
I will be sure to bring you later.”

“…”

“I definitely agreed.
… I’ll leave her fifth wife seat empty.”

Shuk.

The moment she tried to walk past her.
She catches me with her voice

“Hey there!!”

“?”

“Uh, how… How can you be so unconcerned?”

“Yes?”

She puts her hand over her heart and presses it anxiously.
Know what the action is
The action I did when Kamyu kept taking out other girls’ panties from her arms without notice.

[I mean.
Just thinking about you looking at another woman makes my heart… It seems to be torn.]

“You got married yesterday.
I heard you loved and dated for 100 years.
Maou-nim also knew that Kamyu-san hypnotized him, and was very angry, right?
The first time I saw you, you just shot magic flame grapes…
How could such a person… How can it change so much in just a few months?
How could she give up the man she likes?”

Ha…
You’re a disingenuous girl.
Husband, how many different flags are you carrying around?
I think one of the panties my husband accidentally took out was this woman’s.
Hmm… It’s a woman’s intuition.
It looks like it would suit white.

“I’m jealous.”

“Yes?”

Heh

Smile lightly

“I’m jealous.”

“?”

Her puzzled expression is so funny.
That expression that looks stupid and innocent like a sika deer is so irritating.

I made a mistake.
Then she’d kill this girl.
That’s when the magic dye was fired.

Than Nene, than Queen Stella, than that Sir Angela, perhaps this woman is a stronger foe.

“When I see my husband dating another woman, I feel very torn here and here.”

Snap.

Grab your heart.

“But why…”

“Because it was stolen.”

“?!”

“That bad bastard is my heart… ‘Cause I took it all
So I don’t even have the heart to be jealous anymore.”

“Yeah, but… !!”

“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay.
I’ve cleared my mind.
Negotiations are over.
I was going to deny it first, and all the women Kamyu would meet in the future asked me to get permission and meet them.
The demons are not allowed because of the right to the throne, but the rest of the races have been released.
He’s a bad guy who will love you even if he tells you not to.”

“Yes?!”

“Still, I mean.
That man is 207 years old?
But until last year, for 206 years, I lived looking at only two people.
100 years for me, 100 years for Nene.
So believe me
He’s not a guy anyone would like.
The fact that he loved me once, he is a man who will never give up on me.
Aren’t you a hot-blooded fool who rushes into a crisis like a moth to a fire and doesn’t even know how to give up?
I’m like that… I don’t like it.
I don’t even like it.
I saw the man’s future that will be better tomorrow in the man who works so hard, and I’ve watched it until now.
It looks like a bear and a dog, and how stubborn it is.
I can’t let go of that idiot who can’t give up on anyone and thinks it’s enough to break his body and run amok.
That’s why I’m going to live on my side.
All right?
It’s not calm.
I’m jealous.
Just be patient.”

“That, can you put up with that?”

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Excuse me… What we promised earlier, can I use it for a second?”

“Which one?”

“You said you would hit me.”

“Sure. Sure.”

“I’ll hit you once.
Give me strength.”

She clenched her teeth and clenched her fists.
A strong face made with effort.
Under…
It’s freaking pretty
I know why you fell for it
The woman that the elders of the idiot tribe talked about on a fictional day.
An atmosphere similar to Nene at about my age.
She is an innocent bagel girl.
Really… Under.

“Going.”

“Yes!”

Duum!

“Keuaaaaa!!!
Uweeeee!!!

“Don’t push yourself.
I hit it with her left short punch right on the spot.”

“Eh eh!
Oh yeah!
Cool, cool, cool, cool!!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!”

“Haaa…
Are you okay?”

Snug.

He takes out her handkerchief and wipes her mouth.
She fell to her knees, spraying her vomit all over her hallway.
Her pride, she barely holds her stomach and nods her head pretending to be okay.

“Cough, Cough!!
Yes, a little, cool! I’m just surprised
Hueup, ha…”

“That is very fortunate.
Stop provoking me because I’m too angry.
She is a woman who keeps making me jealous, and when she asks if I am not jealous in front of her, she writes.”

“?!?!?!”

“Get some rest.
Wipe your mouth too.
You seem to know what my husband’s heart is, so I’ll stop.
… My oppa, don’t try too hard to hate me.
It’s hard to force yourself to hate someone you don’t hate.”

“!!!!!”

“Consider whether that is what your friend really wanted.
I heard from Sir Angela that even after being hypnotized, I still remember everything I went through when I was hypnotized.
You also remember the time when you were hypnotized, right?
I don’t know how Kamyu oppa treated you… It’s obvious if you don’t look.
Well, I must have tried hard to keep the line of mind.
Heh
So, actually, I kind of hate your friend.
If it hadn’t been for her, she would have had only Nene as my only competitor.”

A woman who crossed the line between races.
I want to see your face once

Marianne barely gets up, gasping for breath.

“… You are really mature.
Demon King, it’s not just anyone.
I learned a lot.”

“Sure.
And not just anyone with her first wife.
Candidate for the fifth wife.”

“Cool, cool!!”

She coughs in embarrassment.

Warak.

Give me a warm hug
He’s taller than me, so he hugs me around the neck.

“Uh?!
Me, there… !!”

“Sorry.
It hurts a lot, right?
I will formally apologize next time and forgive you.”

“… I’ll come back stronger next time, so hit me hard.”

“Heh, I’ll admit my grit.”

Fanfang!!

When I tap her on the shoulder, she flinches.
Why are you so depressed?
Did you kill it?
Originally, we exchanged each other and became friends.

“I wish you well in the future.
Because I think I will see you often.”

“Yes?
Uh…”

“I’ll go in first.”

Wave her hand and pass her by.
Oh right.

Stop.

“Oh.
There are many women who covet your position.
Think carefully.
Because I like you.”

“Cool cool cool cool!!
I-hey!!”

Don’t look back and wave your hand.
There will be more time to talk.
Think carefully before coming, Fifth Wife Candidate.

Hey, let’s not get excited.
I blew one, so let’s take off our anger, Rumika.
You are the first wife
Now you have to be brave
Be bold!

Huh!!
I am the proud first wife of my brother Kamu!!
Let’s go!!!
