Chapter 18

As soon as she put her underwear in front of him, Noel turned his head to the other side and sighed loudly. Because it stood up once again as he looked at the wet underwear.

Sylvia, whose brain in charge of obscenity had already stopped working after seeing the message of divine punishment, judged from Noel’s reaction that he was angry because she was asking him all kinds of favors.

‘Ah, did I ask too much… Ugh.’

Noel grabbed his head and shook it roughly. In Sylvia’s eyes, he seemed to have a slight tendency to be hot-tempered, unlike what he looked like.

“There… If you search in the drawer, there is a pouch. You can put it in there.”

“Yes…”

Sylvia, who was standing there awkwardly after putting her underwear in the pouch that was inside the drawer following Noel’s words, looked at Noel, who was still covering his reddened face in the corner.

“Thank you for your help. It must have been troublesome. Then, I will take my leave for today.”

At those words, Noel turned back and looked at Sylvia. The outline of her breasts, exposed through the loose-fitting clothes in the absence of underwear, was too erotic. With superhuman endurance, he stopped his gaze that had gone towards Sylvia’s chest.

Noel’s mind was a mess. Although he couldn’t do it because he was a priest, he kept imagining himself pushing her against the wall and grabbing her chest roughly, and his head throbbed.

‘Since Miss Sylvia makes me, a priest, stand up, what if she gets caught by bad guys while going home in that state…’

As Sylvia stood at the door with an awkward expression and said goodbye, Noel called her.

“Ugh… Miss Sylvia, wait a moment.”

Noel decided to take Sylvia home. Noel, who put Sylvia in front of him, rode the horse. As they passed the road, the red sunset over the horizon greeted them.

Sylvia, who wore a cloak Noel had handed her, sat sideways and carefully leaned her head on his wide chest. Of course, she didn’t have a sly mind after seeing the divine punishment route, it was just a pure intention to find stability on the rocking horse.

As she leaned her head, Noel flinched for a moment, then cleared his throat and spurred the horse again.

Sylvia inwardly sighed in relief. Even if she was inside the game, she couldn’t figure out how to get home without wearing a bra, so she was really glad that Noel took her home.

‘Seems like he isn’t angry.’

As her head touched his firm, hot chest, her heart fluttered for a moment, but she calmed down, remembering the chilly dead-end preview.

“Whoa, whoa…”

When they reached their destination, Noel stopped the horse. They arrived so quickly while riding on the horse that it was incomparable to when she walked to the temple on foot. Sylvia thought she wished she had something to ride on.

‘Can’t I get a mount?’

In some of the games she used to play, mounts were scattered all over the place, so she could have one just by pressing the climbing key. She saw a tragic ending in which she was on a horse and got PKed by another user, possibly because of a bug, and lost all her items.

(T/N: For those who aren’t familiar with gaming terms, PK = player kill.)

After thinking about trivial things for a moment, Sylvia came down from the horse with Noel’s help.

“Thank you for taking me home.”

“It’s nothing, I did what I had to…”

Sylvia bowed her head to Noel and thanked him. While Noel was smiling gently and speaking, suddenly the door of the cabin opened, and Sevis popped out.

“Miss Sylvia! Tonight’s dinner is crab fried… Who is this person?”

Sevis, who had opened the door when he heard someone outside, stopped while greeting Sylvia. Then, he looked at Noel with wary eyes.

Noel, who had been stroking the white horse’s mane, looked at Sevis with a startled expression.

“Hm? Miss Sylvia, I see you don’t live alone.”

Sylvia smiled awkwardly at Noel’s words. If she accidentally did something wrong, there would be a setback in her attack.

‘Oh, no. He wouldn’t believe me if I introduced him as my butler when I’m wearing ragged clothes. I think that if I do something wrong, I’ll become a woman who has a spouse.’

Was it Noel, who was surely a target character, or was it Sevis, the butler who she couldn’t figure out whether he was a target character or not?

Sylvia, who thought hard, hurriedly came up with an excuse. Sylvia smiled brightly as she patted Sevis’ back, pretending to be calm.

“Ah… Yes. This child… he is my nephew.”

“??”

Sevis asked for an explanation with his eyes wide open, but Sylvia, who thought the target character in front of her was more important, ignored his gaze.

“Nephew? His ears…”

Noel stared at Sevis’ ears and asked. Sylvia hurriedly responded before he finished speaking.

“Aha! His ears… His ears… Sevis, didn’t I tell you not to cosplay so much?”

“What is cosplay?”

“There’s something like that! Do your homework. Hurry and go inside!”

Sylvia, who hurriedly let Sevis in after making a sloppy excuse, smiled awkwardly at Noel.

“I think it was a bit irrational. Sevis doesn’t look young enough to look like my nephew…’

It was an excuse that made no sense no matter how she thought about it. She should have said he was her brother… She regretted it belatedly, but she couldn’t help what was already done. While sweat flowed down Sylvia’s back, Noel opened his mouth.

“I see you live with a shapeshifter. Of course, there is no way he is your nephew.”

Unfortunately, her excuse didn’t work at all. Seeing Noel’s calm expression, Sylvia realized that she had put on a crazy act for nothing.

He smiled softly and then said, ‘Shower in warm water so you don’t catch a cold.’, without asking anything, and got back on the horse. Sylvia inwardly sighed in relief at his casual reaction.

‘What, he didn’t think it was strange at all. I was the only one overreacting.’

As she opened the door and stepped inside, Sevis crossed his arms and faced Sylvia with a dissatisfied expression.

“What do you mean I’m your nephew? Who is that man?”

Sylvia thought she should calm Sevis down. Sevis was just a cute butler who she wasn’t yet sure whether he was a target character or not. Because he didn’t know it either.

Sweating, Sylvia smiled awkwardly and opened her mouth.

“That person is Priest Noel. My clothes got a little wet while working today, so he took me h…”

“Oh! Come to think of it, where are your ragged clothes and why are you wearing men’s clothes? Are those that man’s clothes?”

Belatedly realizing that Sylvia’s outfit was different than usual, the corners of Sevis’ eyes rose sharply. His face was full of vigilance. Sylvia felt somehow troubled, and a cold sweat flowed down her back.

“Yes, my clothes were wet and I had to change.”

“Why did you introduce me as your nephew?”

“Well, uh, because he could misunderstand. It would be complicated if he misunderstood that I was already married.”

“Why would it be complicated?”

“That’s…”

‘Look at his fierce eyes… Why is he like that?’

The flow of conversation was somehow strange. Sylvia’s temples were filled with cold sweat because she felt like a cheating husband who was being interrogated by his wife.

‘Just let it go…’

While grumbling, Sevis called Sylvia into the kitchen.

There was crab fried rice on the table, shiny as if it had been prepared just in time for when she left work. When she broke the half-cooked fried egg on top of the fried rice and mixed it, it had the smokey flavor that she would taste at a Chinese restaurant. She admired Sevis’ cooking skills once again.

“Oh, Sevis. You’re also good at making fried r…”

“You didn’t tell me why it would be complicated.”

With a firm expression, Sevis put his arms on the table and clasped his hands. Almost choking on her food, she felt the need to change the subject.

“Ugh… That. You don’t know that because you haven’t tried having a social life yet, Sevis. Back in my day…”

Will it be more effective because her speaking skills have increased? Sylvia naturally demonstrated her condescending talking skills and distorted Sevis’ attention. As expected, Sevis sighed while listening to her talk about the complexity of social life and lowered his eyes.

“Miss Sylvia, all men are animals. You can’t bring strangers home because it’s dangerous. Do you understand?”

‘If he is a shapeshifter, isn’t he also an animal?’

After thinking about it for a moment, Sylvia nodded with a reluctant expression.

“Danger… Never mind. I understand, Sevis.”

‘Please, I’d like to meet a dangerous man. But sadly, I am the most dangerous person in this game…’

Sylvia swallowed what she wanted to say and nodded.

Sevis sighed, then picked up his spoon and started eating again.

‘Is it over now?’

Sylvia also raised her spoon, studying his expression. But as she was eating crab fried rice that had a smoky flavor, she remembered the morning when she smelled the sulfur.

The horrible memory of her karma rising by 100 points.

“Sevis, the temple part-time is 4 days a week, so let’s go around the dungeons on the remaining days.”

“Oh… Why don’t you take a day off? I think you should take a day off since you were sick.”

“Ugh… That’s right… No, no. I need to get stronger as soon as possible to fulfill my responsibility.”

Sylvia, who had unconsciously agreed with his words that she should take a day off, corrected herself. Even if she wants to rest, what can she do when the game doesn’t let her?

‘Ugh. I want to rest too, really.’

Somehow accepting her words, Sevis opened his eyes and clasped his hands together.

“Miss Sylvia… I’m really impressed. I’m so happy to serve someone as sincere as Miss Sylvia.”

Sevis gazed at her, his eyes sparkling with emotion. Although she felt a slight prick at her conscience, she showed no signs of it and shut her mouth with a resolute expression.

‘My karma increases the moment I take a day off, so if I don’t want to go to hell, I have to work.’

When Sylvia, who was in charge of doing the dishes, finished her work, she took a shower. When she stepped out of the bathroom while shaking her hair with a towel, Sevis was smoothing out the bedclothes.

‘Judging from the atmosphere earlier, will we be able to sleep in the bed together tonight?’
