Chapter 437 – 37. Temporary Suspension of Warrior Work

Demonic scenery in the southern part of the continent.

The Demons have good unity because they have clear enemies on all continents except the South, but this is not always the case.

The place where they live is the land of demons, where there is one empire, six kingdoms, and eighteen tribes.

It was an environment where there were inevitably multiple factions.

Excluding the Empire, the six kingdoms each serve different demon gods, so their relationships are bound to be delicate.

Even within a kingdom, there are mainly demon gods, and there are also various tribes and beliefs.

Dream Kingdom is the only place that is stable due to religious issues.

It was a country that worshiped the demon god of nightmares and lust.

There are three main types of demons that make up the Dream Kingdom.

From the demon race, which accounts for more than half of the entire population, to the succubus, a race specialized for males, and to the amorphous life form, the nightmare.

Among these, Succubus and Nightmare are creatures of the demon god of nightmares and lust, and the leader of the two is called the demon god’s horn.

They were also the pillars that supported the Dream Kingdom, called the Succubus Queen and the Night Lord, respectively.

In the meantime, one pillar disappeared entirely, so it was natural that the kingdom was in chaos.

“Damn. How do you expect this?”

The Queen of the Dream Kingdom sighed and held her throbbing head.

Even though she is the queen herself, her power in her kingdom is stronger than that of the Succubus Queen.

Fortunately, the Succubus Queen did not assert her power or cause accidents.

Most people live quietly within the territory.

That’s why I couldn’t stop it anyway, so I let it do what it wanted to do, but in this case, it got too big.

‘I’m a very self-indulgent bitch, so it’ll be okay for a month or two, but if it lasts longer than that…’

The succubi will undoubtedly protest.

The succubi and nightmares living in the Dream Kingdom make up only 10% of the total population, but their power is more than twice that size.

This was because, unlike the demons, which had large individual differences like humans, these two were generally upwardly leveled.

A succubus without a leader is a bigger problem than when there is a queen.

“Ah, he seemed uneasy for some reason. I should have stopped him…”

“It must be a pain in the ass.”

“… Night Lord.”

A nightmare, an amorphous creature whose entire body is blurred and resembles a ghost.

Closely related to dreams, they were demons whose gender was unclear and whose very existence was considered sinister.

The queen was also not very reluctant, but they were allies.

The Night Lord was also the only companion in the kingdom who knew about the disappearance of the Succubus Queen.

“Isn’t there a better way?”

“The best thing for her is to save her.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You should be in the capital of either Glazer or Palania by now. How can I get you there?”

“Don’t get excited. I just told you how.”

“…”

“After that… Yes, I guess I’ll just look away. So much so that I can’t pay attention to Queen.”

A voice that doesn’t feel like it’s going up or down at all.

However, the moment the queen heard those words, she got goosebumps.

“You. No way…”

“Why are you doing that? I told you so. I just told you a way. The choice is up to you. There are probably many ways to divert attention.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way you can draw attention away from the Succubus Queen.”

Hehe.”

“Damn, this is unpleasantly funny. Is that what you want…?”

Hehe. I don’t know. I just…”

“Tsk. If you’re going to say something like that, get out of there!”

When the Queen screamed, the Night Lord retreated behind her as if he had been waiting.

The originally blurry shape became paler and then completely disappeared.

“Remember this one thing. Succubi can stay still for two to three months at most. That’s the limit.”

“…”

The queen also said something that made her reflect on what she knew well.

6th day of work stoppage.

Han Si-woo was still enjoying his vacation.

Usually, I spend an entire day going out on dates or hanging out with one or two people, but there are times when I don’t have a set schedule.

Because we didn’t make an appointment in advance, it ended up being postponed if the other party had other things to do.

There is no set date order, and I am spontaneously choosing my partner.

However, as always, order was a sensitive matter.

“In that sense, I’m very sad.”

“Huh?”

“Did you understand?”

Gwen Washdish gets angry for no reason and hits Siwoo’s stomach.

To Siwoo, what she did was a little, no, very absurd.

‘She said she was busy and wandered around…’

Gwen, a former virgin ghost who is now a homunculus necromancer, is as busy as anyone in the Siu Clan.

Assisting other wizards, alchemists, etc. In research on bodies that are not yet fully stable.

In addition, she also likes playing a lot, probably because she has a childish side.

In fact, there is a saying among workers that seeing Gwen two days in a row will make her lucky.

Siwoo also could count on both hands the number of times he saw her in a week.

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

Siwoo answered half-heartedly and stroked Gwen’s dark blonde hair.

“Wow! It took me an hour to make it!”

She screams as her hair tangles indiscriminately.

Siwoo said playfully, hitting Gwen before she could get angry.

“Why do you spend an hour doing your hair when you rarely go out?”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

“…”

‘Oops.’

When I heard her head down and her crying voice, I came to my senses.

I already kissed her and massaged her body a few times and treated her like my own child.

Who would Gwen be able to show off by taking care of her curly blonde hair?

Of course, he was trying to show her off, and he was seeking her attention by approaching her like this and arguing with her.

‘I acted like a fool.’

As she smiled, I bent down and hugged her.

“Sorry.”

“… Fool.”

“It’s you. If you hit me, I’ll get confused.”

“Hmph.”

It’s not wrong, and Gwen herself knew that well, but her reason and sensibility are different.

Unable to make an excuse, she grumbled for no reason and then whispered quietly.

“Well, you know. I… I worked hard on my research even when you weren’t around, right?”

“Yes.”

“The body has become less sensitive than before. Also, the synchronization rate has increased. So, uh, that is.”

“Okay, okay.”

I already clearly understood what Gwen wanted to say from her previous attitude.

Siwoo released her hug and held her hand that was wriggling underneath her.

“You want to go on a date?”

“… Hehe, yes!”

As I looked at her brightly smiling at her date’s words, I couldn’t help but smile.

Although the level of perfection of the homunculus has improved, this has already been repeated several times.

She wasn’t really looking forward to today, since every time she saw Gwen gasping for air just from a hug or a kiss from her.

Instead, she was a little curious about how far she could go this time.

“Shall we go right away?”

“Okay… Oh, no! Just wait a moment! Head! I’m going to do it again!”

“Anyway. You can take your time, come to the living room when you’re done.”

“Okay!”

As soon as she made her date, Gwen released her hand and hurried back to her room.

She didn’t notice, but as she quickly disappeared, I could see that she was dressed up.

Gwen’s fashion sense isn’t that great, so maybe someone should have helped her.

‘Oh, indeed. I have to prepare too.’

She’s got to redo her hair, which she’s been doing for an hour, so it won’t take much longer than that.

In addition to changing clothes for the date, I had to go cancel my prior reservation.

‘I’m so sorry.’

“… That’s how it happened.”

“Hmm. That’s right. It’s a shame.”

Bell Luna, who had just gotten out of the shower and wrapped herself in a bath towel, nodded.

Her original plan today was to spend her time intimately with her red-haired mage.

“Yes. I’m really sorry, sister.”

Siwoo’s attitude when apologizing was two hours after the scheduled time was cautious.

Although she is a party member, she is the one who made her promise and found out about it first.

To be honest, she was still closer to Bell Luna than Gwen.

“No, it’s okay.”

At Siwoo’s polite apology, Belluna chuckled and waved her hand.

“If it’s Gwen, she can’t help it, yeah. She’s worked pretty hard.”

As a wizard, she was Belluna, who often assisted Gwen in her research and gave her various assistance to others.

If you include her age since death, she is much older than Gwen, but I wondered if she would have felt this way if she had a younger sibling.

Therefore, after learning about her wishes and reality, she had a strong desire to help.

“… Haam.”

“Yawn?”

“Ahaha. Actually, my research went well yesterday, so I slept a little late.”

Actually, I only slept for a couple of hours.

It wasn’t about meekly making concessions, but there was a reason.

Siwoo, who saw it through, laughed, and Belluna yawned again, covering her mouth.

“Ah. I’m sleepy. Anyway, I’m going to get some sleep, so have fun with your date with Gwen.”

“I guess there was a reason why you said you were going to wash up now?”

“Huh. That’s right. I heard you were worried because you couldn’t decide what to wear? It worked out well for both of us.”

“That’s right. Still, I’m sorry because I’m sorry… I’ll grant her a small wish the next time we go on a date.”

“I have a small wish… I’m looking forward to it♡”

It feels different to just receive a gift and to get something pointed out to her.

Bell Luna is already starting to look forward to what she will ask him to do.

Desperate for her sleep before that, she flopped down on the bed, forcing her half-closed eyes.

“Ugh. Ah. I really can’t do it now. Go quickly. I need to sleep.”

“Okay. Then I’ll see you tomorrow or the day after.”

“Yeah… Be careful, Heup. Really… Chureup, side♥”

Bell Luna, who greeted Siwoo with her sweet kiss, fell behind her and fell asleep.

Siwoo, who had reached an amicable agreement with the parties involved, immediately began preparing for the date.

Since the basics such as bathing and makeup had already been done anyway, all I had to do was change my clothes.

After getting ready and waiting in her living room, less than 10 minutes later, Gwen came down.

“Well, you waited, right?”

She asked in a nervous voice, holding both her hands tightly.

Siwoo’s fashion sense is not that different from Gwen’s, but at least he had an eye for vision.

Her hair was neater than when she got into a fight and got punched in the stomach, and her dress had recently changed.

She liked hers earlier, but this one suited her especially well.

“It’s pretty. Very pretty.”

“… Thank you.”

He walked in front of Gwen and held her hand as if he was escorting her.

Although Si-woo didn’t have many expectations, I somehow became curious about how far he would go with her.

“Shall we go then?”

“Uh, yes! … But where?”

“… Let’s go out first.”

What kind of date should I go on with Gwen?

Siwoo, who had absolutely nothing in mind, began to groan and worry.
