Anxiety (6)

Erina’s beauty was beautiful.

Pure white skin and white hair. Even the red eyes and slender body.

No one could deny her appearance.

Erina urged him to let her know how much she loved him.

To be honest, it would be a lie if I said that I didn’t feel a desire in a corner of my heart.

There was a line I couldn’t cross.

That’s why I had no choice but to stop Erina.

If you grant her demands as she wants, it will not end here.

In the future, he could have asked for more than just continuing to sleep together.

Above all, other colleagues, including Kayla, are also problematic.

Like Erina, Tyria is in love with her lover Kayla.

Recently, Celica went beyond showing signs of affection and even made a false confession.

I didn’t know how they would feel if I crossed the line with Erina.

“Erina. “Stop it.”

“Is it because you really hate me…?”

“No. But we have work to do.”

Defeating the devil and finding peace in the world.

Isn’t that the promise I made when she and I first met?

“Still…”

“Just wait until then. “Please.”

If Erina was honest about her lies, I would accept it, but I couldn’t trust her right now.

There was one more concern.

Wouldn’t it be a really big deal if Erina were to have a child?

I had to be self-reliant before defeating the devil.

“Okay. Erina. “I love you But now is not the time.”

“…”

His expression was full of dissatisfaction, but he couldn’t refute my words.

I don’t know why, but Erina was determined to defeat the Demon King.

Eventually, Erina rewrapped the towel and the heat subsided.

Instead, I hugged him for a long time to soothe my upset heart.

***

“Huh… Haha…”

Erina took a deep breath as she was held in Seohyun’s arms.

I always found peace when I was in his arms.

Unlike usual, her insides were boiling.

There is only one reason. Serica’s public confession.

When Celica grabbed Seohyun’s arm and said she loved her, Erina lost her senses.

That was the first time I realized that when I was truly angry, I wasn’t even angry.

The thought of just killing everyone else, including Celica, filled my mind.

‘Erina. Okay? ‘Never touch your colleagues.’

If it hadn’t been for Seohyun’s instructions, I would have harmed my colleagues right away.

Erina let go of her anger with the intention of enduring it just one more time.

‘I don’t like it… ‘

But even if I tried, I just couldn’t bear it.

I’m barely trying to close my eyes while suppressing my frustrated heart.

‘…!’

Erina’s keen senses sharpened.

I realized that someone was spying outside the room and immediately got up.

“This is self-defense…”

After making an excuse that wasn’t an excuse to the sleeping Seohyun, Erina quietly slipped out and opened the door.

“…”

Quiet hallway. Contrary to her intuition, there was no one.

But Erina trusted her intuition.

When she opened the window and jumped outside, Tyria looked at Erina in horror.

“…!”

Feeling that her life was in danger, Tyria quickly climbed to the roof.

Likewise, Erina followed suit.

Then, I was able to face Kayla and Serica who were waiting on the roof.

They were plotting a conspiracy in such a dark place.

Erina was furious to the core.

The three also looked at Erina with a puzzled expression.

I had often seen her angry expression, but now it was on a different level.

The same facial expression as when dealing with a demon beast or demon.

If I had a long sword, I wouldn’t have pulled it out and swung it right away.

“You. “What are you doing now?”

“…”

Erina approaches slowly.

The three people looked at her with nervous expressions.

“Can’t you hear me?”

“We are worried about Seohyun…”

When Celica spoke as if she was protesting, her mouth fell silent in an instant.

Erina grabbed Celica’s neck at a speed so fast that she couldn’t stop it.

Celica, out of breath, struggled and screamed.

Immediately, Kayla threw a kick at Erina, but Erina turned around to avoid it.

Tyria, who was right next to her, grabbed Erina’s arm.

“…!”

Tyria tried to break his arm, but it was no use.

Erina let go of Celica’s head and faced Tyria with an angry expression.

The moment our eyes met, I fell into fear and at the same time, a fist flew in front of my eyes.

“Ugh…!”

I managed to raise my arm and block the punch, but I felt tremendous pain in my forearm.

However, when Celica’s miracle occurred, Tyria’s pain quickly subsided.

Meanwhile, Kayla rushed at Erina and punched her.

Erina immediately grabs her fist.

When he threw a kick while holding his fist, Kayla quickly shook his hand away.

“… !?”

Erina stumbles as if she didn’t know that she would loosen her grip.

Without missing the opportunity, Kayla rushed in and tried to knock down Erina.

However, he immediately regained his balance and grabbed Kayla’s body, turning it over.

“Ugh… !”

Kayla fell to the floor in an instant.

At the moment of crisis, Tyria rushed at Erina and pushed her away.

Although it was a trivial power, it was enough to attract Erina’s attention.

While I was turning my head, Kayla quickly stood up and took a stance.

Just as the confrontation was about to continue.

“Stop it! Seohyun might wake up!”

Everyone froze at Celica’s words.

If Seohyun saw the current situation, it would be difficult to avoid reprimand.

In particular, Erina was at a further disadvantage as she had already had many accidents.

I barely held back my anger, thinking that I should never get caught this time.

“Erina. I was sorry earlier. I made a mistake…”

“…”

“I never meant it. “I apologize.”

Even though Celica apologized, Erina’s expression was still cold.

Instead, he frowned as if he was displeased and approached Celica.

Celica was very nervous and her whole body was shaking.

When Erina finally approached him, he looked up with trembling eyes.

From the side, Kayla and Tyria also watched the situation with nervous expressions.

If Erina touched Celica, she would keep her eyes peeled to attack her immediately.

“You only get over it once.”

“Ah…”

“I apologize to Seohyun tomorrow. And tell me you don’t mean it. “If you don’t.”

The sound of Erina’s teeth grinding gave Celica goosebumps.

“Because I will really kill you.”

“Ah…”

“Do you understand? Answer me.”

“Yes. I understand…”

After barely nodding, Erina looked away.

The next person my eyes turned to was Tyria.

“Didn’t I tell you not to spy again?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“You don’t understand what’s being said. Otherwise, you ignore it.”

“…”

“Just try one more time.”

Tyria could not raise her head in response to the fierce warning.

I just keep my mouth shut and agree. I couldn’t say anything.

And the remaining person is Kayla.

Unlike the other two, Kayla looked Erina straight in the eye.

“You…”

“…”

“We’ll see later.”

Surprisingly, Erina retreats without saying anything.

Looking at that scene, Kayla relaxed her body.

The person who most dislikes the current situation is none other than Erina.

If we wait longer and Seohyun wakes up, it will be a big problem.

“Get out now.”

With those last words, Erina came down from the roof, climbed through the window, and returned to the hallway.

As Erina headed toward Seohyun’s room, the three looked at each other in vain.

***

“I’m sorry everyone…”

The three people gathered in Kayla’s room.

First, Tyria apologized with a sad expression.

The primary reason this happened was because Tyria was caught spying.

But Kayla and Serica shook their heads.

“No. “It was a bunch of people who deceived Erina in the first place.”

In fact, Tyria had spied on Seohyun’s room before.

I couldn’t tell them, but I was quite confident.

But since I was caught in a good way, I had nothing to say.

“Still, I don’t think I did any harm to Seohyun.”

“Then that’s a relief. “If my lord is safe, that’s fine.”

Kayla was truly relieved and poured out her heart.

What if Erina had threatened Seohyun or pushed her?

‘I don’t like it… ‘

Even though she tried to stop thinking, Kayla’s delusions did not stop.

Seohyun becomes a mess while being held by Erina.

Just thinking about it made me shudder and fill me with anger.

A little while ago, when the two entered the bathhouse together, I couldn’t put my mind at ease even for a moment.

‘Probably nothing much happened. It will be like that…’

Kayla did not forget her master’s promise.

I decided that my lord’s first experience would be with me.

That much could never be taken away from Erina.

“I almost got into real trouble. Because no one can win if they clash with Erina by force.”

“I was really fed up. “If only I was a little late… “

If Erina had applied a little more force, Celica’s neck could have been broken.

A cold sweat broke out at the thought that I had passed the point of almost dying.

Likewise, Tyria was discouraged when she realized Erina’s powerlessness.

Unlike the other two, Kayla’s eyes were full of fighting spirit.

“But I wasn’t as helpless as the last time.”

Kayla had a fight with Erina.

There was a time when Tyria and Celica were not around and I was alone with Erina when we had just entered the party.

At that time, I was pushed back miserably and was in danger of dying, but this time was different.

Unlike up until now where I was pushed back one-sidedly or couldn’t even resist, I was able to fight back.

This is possible not only because of Kayla herself but also because there are three people working together.

Of course, since none of the four men had weapons, it cannot be said that they fought properly.

At least I could feel how strong they had become.

“I can’t live without being treated by Erina forever.”

“Okay. “I can’t live like this my whole life being threatened.”

“If Erina threatens my lord, we must protect her.”

Maybe I’ll have to face Erina someday.

Tyria and Celica are desperately hoping that such a thing will not happen.

Kayla, who knows the whole truth, has already made up her mind.

“It’s too late today, so let’s all go back and sleep.”

“Okay. “I have to have special training tomorrow as well.”

That’s when the three people made up their minds and were about to return to their respective rooms.

Kayla was anxious and called Serica over.

“Excuse me. Serica.”

“Huh? “What’s wrong?”

“I’m just asking just in case… “

Kayla gently held Serica’s arm.

For some reason, although it was clearly a gentle touch, Celica’s body instinctively trembled.

And then the golden eyes met. There was a dull black light hidden inside.

Kayla was definitely smiling, but her eyes were filled with life.

“The confession I made earlier. I don’t mean it… ?”

“Ah…”

At that moment, cold sweat ran down Celica’s back.

Without even having time to panic, Celica’s mouth moved instinctively.

“Then of course. I don’t like Seohyun… “

“Thank you. “I asked a useless question.”

“No…”

Kayla must have felt relieved only then, and released Serica’s arms.

Finally, I waved at her with a sincere smile.

Tyria, who was watching this, also quietly trembled.

‘I must never get caught…’

If it turns out that Celica and Tyria also like Seohyun.

I didn’t know how Kayla would react.

However, Tyria had no intention of hiding her affection for Seohyun for the rest of her life.

She also decided to brace herself.

One day, when Tyria confesses her true feelings to Kayla, I will not break my resolve.

A day passed with everyone having different thoughts.
