A voice as warm as a spring breeze tickled my ears.
The fragrant scent of sesame oil flowing from the abalone porridge in the spoon stimulated my nose.
Ohjin looked at the spoon in front of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
“I heard you can eat alone.”
“Absolutely stable.”
An uncompromising will was conveyed through the words uttered one syllable at a time.
“You didn’t forget, right?”
Isabella smiled and brought the spoon to her mouth.
Even though his mouth was smiling, his eyes weren’t smiling at all. It felt like if he refused one more time, he would just shove the spoon in his mouth.
“yep.”
He quickly raised the white flag and quietly opened his mouth to receive the abalone porridge.
“Oh, this is amazing! Is it delicious?”
What kind of three year old am I?
I wanted to shout at Isabella, who was stroking her head so kindly, but because I felt guilty, I swallowed back the words that were in my throat.
By the time I started eating all the abalone porridge like a baby bird eating its feed.
“How are you feeling, Ojin?”
The door opened and Cassia came inside.
“He’s still eating, so don’t disturb him and leave.”
“Hmm, other than that, I think you’ve eaten everything?”
Cassia walked towards Ojin, glancing at the bowl on the floor.
Slurp slurp.
Cassia glided onto the bed with a sound like a snake crawling across the floor, stuck out her long tongue, and licked Ojin’s forehead.
“...what are you doing?”
“I’m checking to see if you have a fever.”
Not with your hands, but with your tongue?
“A snake can tell temperature with its tongue?”
“I know that, but...”
“And my tongue can detect not only temperature but also magical power.”
Saying that, Cassia moved her tongue and licked Ojin’s forehead, cheeks, and the back of his neck.
At the time, the tickling feeling of the tongue touching the skin aroused a strange delusion.
“Eight.”
Isabella hit Cassia’s tongue, which was continuously licking Ozin’s body, with a spoon.
Cassia frowned as she put her long tongue back into her mouth.
“Can’t you see that we’re checking Ojin’s condition right now?”
“Even if you don’t, you should do it in moderation! How long are you going to lick it?”
“Hmm. “It was a good time, but unfortunately there was a disruption.”
Cassia licked her lips as if she couldn’t help but put her mouth close to Ojin’s ear.
Hot breath tickled my earlobes.
“I’ll do this later.”
What’s next?
“ha. So, how is Oh Jin?”
“My magic power has become much more stable than yesterday.”
“okay?”
Isabella smiled with relief, as if she was glad.
“Then...”
“But training is prohibited for a while! “Did you know?”
“yep.”
It seemed wrong to return to the training facility until my body fully recovered.
‘I’ve definitely been overdoing it over the past three months.’
How can you not overdo it when you see your level rising rapidly every day?
I haven’t reached a satisfactory level yet, but since I passed out from overexerting myself, it would be better to rest for a while, as Isabella said.
“okay. “I’ll rest well at home this week.”
“Whew. If you sneak out, will you have Roberto shut down the training facility?”
“No matter what, don’t do such a shameful thing.”
Tsk.
Did you get caught?
“Anyway, has anything special happened so far?”
In order to focus on my training as much as possible, I blocked out news from the outside world, so I had no idea what was going on in the world these days.
“yes. “Recently, the movement of named demons has been quiet, and there have been very few instances of demonic beasts pouring out of the gate.”
“What about the constellations of the Black Star?”
“I’m looking for the ‘snakes’... but I can’t figure out where they are or what they’re doing.”
Cassia sighed and shook her head.
“So it’s a lull for the time being?”
From Ojin’s perspective, it wasn’t a very bad situation.
As if it were a balance game, they started pushing each other on Ojin’s back.
“Vicki... say!”
“Really... I’ve been so greedy since long ago!”
A battle unfolded as they pushed and pulled each other’s arms to get the other person off their backs.
“Hey hey hey wait a minute!”
It’s as if a sudden lightning strike fell on Ojin, who was crushed under the two sisters.
Creak, creak, creak!
The bed began to creak as if it would break due to the two sisters’ struggle.
“Wow! Wow! “Stop that!”
Both of them appeared to be slender women on the outside, but in reality, they were powerful enough to lift an 8-ton truck with one hand.
From Ojin’s point of view, who was completely shocked by the physical fight, the pressure felt like two elephants running wild on his back.
The fatigue and pressure accumulated in my body overlapped, and my consciousness flickered in a blur.
-Anyway, it’s absolutely stable for the time being! Do you understand?!
Before I lost consciousness, Isabella’s cry suddenly passed through my mind.
‘Absolutely stable...’
Before a deathly scream filled with resentment came out of my mouth.
Ojin’s consciousness was completely immersed in darkness.
“It’s been a while since I got to spend some alone time with Mr. Ohjin...! Why are you interrupting me?!”
“But you often met me with the excuse of making your blood bleed faster! “I was so busy scattering snakes all over the place that I couldn’t even get a good look at his face!”
“If you’re not dating Oh Jin, how about not seeing him?”
“Oh my, my my, what are you talking about to your sister?”
“what? Cheap? “You’re the one giving me the tail off to my younger brother’s lover!”
Isabella glared fiercely at Cassia and stretched out her arms.
Cassia snorted in disapproval and slapped Isabella’s arm away.
“Anyway, you’re the one who taunted someone else’s lover like that!”
“It’s different from that one!”
“What do you mean different? “When Ojin lost his memory, he even lied about being the first and all?”
“Huh huh!”
When the past, which is still the worst dark history for Isabella, was brought up, her movements suddenly stopped.
Isabella stammered with a pale expression on her face.
“Where did you hear that story?”
“Hehe, Ha-eun told you everything?”
“profit! “That girl with the missing eye patch!”
Due to the pain inflicted by the dark history, Isabella spews out harsh swear words that she would not normally say.
When Cassia was letting out a victorious laugh.
“What’s so loud?”
The door burst open and Ha-eun came in.
She let out a laugh as she looked at the devastation(?) in the room.
“...What are you doing?”
“Ha, Ha-eun?”
“Uh, when did you come?”
“Just before.”
Isabella quickly got off Ojin’s back and smiled awkwardly.
“My sister and I were giving Oh Jin a massage to relieve his fatigue. “Right, sister?”
“Yes. yes.”
The two sisters exchanged glances and nodded.
Massage.
Ha-eun’s gaze was directed at Oh-jin, who was lying limp like a corpse.
“He fainted?”
“I think you fell asleep because you felt so good. “It’s common to fall asleep while getting a massage, right?”
Isabella must have come to her senses in that short period of time and answered naturally while shrugging her shoulders.
“Hmm, really?”
“I guess Mr. Oh Jin is still very tired.”
“but. “Because I pushed myself to the point where I collapsed from overwork.”
“ha. “Really... I understand how you feel, Oh Jin, but I think it’s too much.”
“That’s right. “This bastard needs to be scolded.”
Ha-eun nodded in agreement.
Isabella smiled slightly and looked down at Ojin with warm eyes.
“Yes. But...I still want to help as much as I can because I know it’s for our sake.”
“Bella is so kind.”
“Oh my, you too.”
“But why did you do that?”
“yes?”
Ha-eun smiled brightly, putting her arm around Isabella’s shoulder.
“Who is the eyepatch girl with the missing screw?”
