Chapter 148 – Chapter 148 – Guest (3)

The first thing Lee Ah-reum spat out intermittently was a simple cough of blood.

There was no particular reason for describing coughing blood as simple.

After that, whenever Lee Ah-reum sneezed, it was because it was a handful of blood.

I was forced to flow backwards, but I covered my mouth with both hands.

The blood that leaked out between her hands and dripped onto the floor was bizarrely red.

In this situation that suddenly happened, I felt a sense of disparity whether this was reality or not.

But looking at me with big gold eyes.

Trying to smile kindly somehow, I raised the corner of my mouth.

“Can I drink some of my older brother’s blood? Cool, cool.”

Seeing Lee Ah-reum asking me for a favor, I immediately realized what I had to do.

I jumped up and grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen.

Until the moment she approached Areum Lee, her coughing got worse and worse.

Blood poured out of Lee Ah-reum so much that she barely missed what she was covering her mouth.

Hard.

Small green scales sprouting from the top of Lee Beautiful’s neck.

If I delayed any longer, I thought it would be a big problem, so I asked Areum Lee.

“How much.”

“… Yes? Cool.”

“How much do you need?”

“That’s… Cool, cool.”

Although it was brief, traces of worry could be seen in his eyes.

So, without hesitation, I cut my wrist with a cleaver.

Joo-wook.

As the blade passed, the flesh belatedly opened up.

Dark red blood flowing from the wrist along with burning pain.

Without saying a word, I passed my blood-dripping wrist over Lee Ah-reum.

“… Ah.”

Lee Ah-reum blankly looked at my wrist and clung to my wrist.

Peck, peck

And as if it was too precious, he accepted and drank the blood.

Oddly enough, the pain, which felt hot, changed from a slight but cool pleasure to calm heat when Lee Ah-reum’s tongue touched it.

No, it might not have been Lee Areum’s tongue, but the blood flowing from the corners of Lee Areum’s mouth.

Whatever it was, it was a fleeting moment, but I was engulfed in a strange sensation and silently offered my blood to Areum Lee.

A few minutes passed like that.

Lee Areum, who had been drinking my blood in a daze, came to her senses and removed her head from my wrist.

“Oh… My brother?”

“… Uhhhhh.”

I answered ‘yes’, but what came out of my lips was a moan.

When I heard my moans, which seemed to be pitiful, my legs faltered involuntarily.

“Oh… Brother!”

The vision also turned around.

I noticed that I was about to fall to the floor, so I tried desperately to find my balance somehow.

Each time that happened, my vision staggered even more.

“Please stay still, older brother. I, I will support you.”

At that time, Areum Lee clung to my arms and supported me.

As if she was dragging me to the sofa, she put my arm around her shoulder and stepped forward cautiously.

Since the posture is the posture, I could see the expression of Lee Ah-reum right next to me.

A very dangerous look.

Drinking my blood, the complexion has become more comfortable, but it seems to be more painful than before.

I saw Lee Ah-reum biting her lip with a distorted expression.

I realized it naturally.

That this guy has a big wound.

As I laid down on the sofa to Areum Lee, she clung to me next to me and met my eyes.

The golden eyes of a vertical pupil that seemed to suck in the surroundings.

When you slowly find your mind while matching your eyes with those strangely addictive eyes.

Lee Ah-reum whispered to me.

“Take a shallow, deep breath. Slowly, whoo, whoa. Like this.”

“Aww… I’m fine now.”

I was going to spit out an answer casually, but it still seemed impossible.

After hearing my words, Lee Ah-reum thought that he didn’t need to listen anymore and carefully picked up my slit wrist.

My body, which now openly proves that I am not human, has already half-healed the wounds from before.

“Please be still for a moment.”

The beautiful woman bit her own lips and rubbed his blood on her lips.

Bizarrely red blood.

This beauty, who became even more reddened, pressed his lips over my scar.

‘…Was it blood?’

A sensation that spreads from the same cool pleasure as before to a gentle heat.

The dizziness disappeared at the same time as something squirmed inside her body.

As I was holding and holding my wrist, which had disappeared even before I knew it, with a strange expression, I met eyes with Areeum Lee, who seemed angry.

“Brother.”

“… Yes?”

Lee Areum looking up at me with big eyes as if protesting.

A glance that seems to be mixed with resentment and doubt continued, and then Areum Lee slowly asked me a question.

“Why… Why, that’s why.”

“What.”

“So.”

Gulp.

After taking a deep breath, Lee Ah-reum spoke to me.

“Why did you share so much blood with me?

It was a strange question.

He came to me suddenly, saying that he was my younger brother.

A reproving question, as opposed to trying to set the tone for you to be with me by all means.

I looked at this beauty without saying anything.

The golden eyes of Lee Ah-reum were trembling without rest.

Seeing Lee Ah-reum trembling like a wounded wild animal, I realized that my previous thoughts were wrong.

I thought that the appearance that changed from kind and cute to cold and cold was the real beauty of Lee.

It wasn’t like that.

In the first place, Lee Ah-reum had two appearances at the same time.

Normally, he is careless, but when something comes, he instinctively changes.

Seeing Lee Ah-reum, who had no composure at all, I spat out the words calmly.

“I like it.”

“… Yes?”

“I like it, there’s no reason. I told you, I like my little sister. A beautiful girl who claimed to be my little sister suddenly came to visit me, but no one would hate it, and if she even prepared delicious food, it’s even weirder to find a reason to hate her. “

“Lies. Lies.”

The first words sounded anxious, and the second words spoke in a cold tone as if self-deprecating.

It seems to show hostility, but now I know that the guy’s fur is standing up to protect himself.

I smiled and put my hand on her head.

“…!”

Lee Ah-reum reflexively tries to slap my hand.

However, realizing that the hand was still a slightly scarred wrist, he stopped holding it.

I waved my hand to show it off.

“Look, I’m a sister who cares about her brother like this, so why should I hit her?”

“… Brother… Why brother…”

As if he had to find out the reason for her beauty, he pursed her lips and repeated her words.

I got a rough idea why Yeji had to give unconditional favor and trust to this girl.

It was too precarious.

If there was no origin foreknowledge, I too was close enough to recognize this danger as hostility.

I would have probably done the same after seeing her coughing up blood.

In any case, if I hadn’t recognized that Areum Lee was a guest… It was clear that something would have happened.

“Brother, why the hell… Brother…”

Lee Ah-reum muttering like an obsession.

North north.

Her hand, which was placed on top of her head, ruffled this beautiful soft hair of hers.

“If you want to find a reason, look forward to it.”

“… Yes?”

He stared at me with golden eyes.

“It’s a younger sister. You know that a younger sister is supposed to be in charge of housekeeping, right?”

I nodded her head at this beauty.

This beauty looked at me with her dumbfounded face, as if my answer didn’t make sense.

“If you help with the housework, I’ll give you blood like this. Let’s live well from now on, little sister.”

Leaving Lee Ah-reum staring blankly at me, I got up from the sofa.

I tried to go to the table to eat the leftover Seonjiguk.

I stopped walking thanks to the bright red blood all around me.

“… I’ll have to clean it up first.”

“Yes, brother.”

Wheeik.

The blood on the floor floated in the air, and then went into Lee Areum’s mouth.

“Eat… Have your meal. I’ll reheat the earthenware pot again, so wait.”

Lee Ah-reum, who had returned to her cute little sister mode before she knew it, ran to the dining table.

We started our meal with a bowl of reheated Seonjiguk.

Beautiful Lee knelt down on the chair across from me and observed me.

“Slurp.”

It was kind of burdensome, but I had to get used to that gaze from now on.

I didn’t care and ate the rice in Seonjiguk.

“…?”

A gentle warmth felt inside the body.

Thinking of no way, I finished dinner with my first sister like that.

* *

Shaded table.

All but one person were seated at a table with six seats.

In an atmosphere that sat down with the heaviest silence.

Kirik, Kirik.

As if someone didn’t like it, the sound of someone fiddling with the prosthetic arm on the right echoed.

“… Shit.”

A red-haired man who spat out swear words in a neutral voice.

He looked around, saw the empty chair next to him and clicked his tongue.

“… When are you coming?”

It was then.

As if he had been waiting for those words, someone trudged out of the darkness.

A middle-aged man with a bowler hat on his head and earphones tucked in his ears.

“Wheeik~ Whiik~.”

While muttering a song that anyone here must have heard to the point of getting tired of it, the man who approached greeted the red-haired man handsomely.

“How are you, Phoenix. You seem to like the new partner I gave you.”

“… Okay.”

“Very romantic, very romantic. An artifact partner with the last life, so artistic.”

“…!”

At those words, the red-haired man, the phoenix, got angry and was about to say something.

“Merlin.”

Someone on the podium called the name of a man wearing a bowler hat.

The phoenix, naturally speechless, turned his head away from his anger.

As if Merlin was appreciating the music in her ears, she gently closed her eyes once.

She sat down at the table and pulled out her earphones.

“I heard you have something to say, what is it?”

The voice that called Merlin called out to Merlin again and asked a question.

She pictured her soft smile as Merlin hummed to the music that was still in her head.

“The rhythm of the world has changed.”

“… If it’s a rhyme, you mean a thousand words.”

“That’s right, the sky has changed.”

Merlin waved her wand in her hand.

A gray light that shines like moonlight.

As if commanding, Merlin whispered, embroidering a gray light in her air.

“Dragon words. One of the great musical notes I obtained earlier whispered to me.”

Gray runes completed in the air.

Seeing it tremble, Merlin smiled contentedly.
