Duke, Please Repent! chapter 189

38. The Duke and the Unpleasant Daily Life

(4)

Perhaps because of low self-esteem, it seems difficult for Serpens to affirm that she is not acting yet.

Don't rush, take it slow. Let's deal with the challenges we face first.

Okay, then I won't tell you to be friendly with Humanus from now on.

what? Why all of a sudden . why?

Why are you so mean to some guy? I'm not saying I'm going to say that I want to be friends with you.

Serpens said he was fed up with it, and made a face that he didn't understand why I was saying this.

Just looking at it, it seemed to be asking whether the front and back of the words were different.

It's neither fault nor fault, but it's a mistake, right? Serpense felt it was deception. Serpence was much younger than he is now, so it must have hurt him even more.

It was old... .

"He is not a friend, nor has he ever been a friend for a moment."

I'm puck?

Even if the former statement is true, the latter statement is definitely a lie.

It was a clear lie to anyone who heard it.

I'll trust you well that you're out of touch with the same topic that you said about respect earlier.

Ah, what I said earlier was a mistake. It's hard to recall the memories of that time, so a little... Yeah. It's a little confusing and a little emotionally ridiculous

is bullshit"."

You're doing it. Now.

The way you say gibberish is very speculative.

Unless I induced it first, it was hard or painful. To say such a thing on a topic that I didn't even bring up in the first place.

Well, yes. I understand. I thought he was a senior in life who went through the same pain and overcame it first, but to hear that he was just a chilele palele. It deserves a sense of betrayal. The feeling of betrayal is not easily erased. As much as I believed. As much as I gave my heart to you...

"The first friend I met was you, Seon-woo. A guy like that !"

I'm trembling like this, how can you believe that?

It is clear that he treats the past, when he regarded Humanus as a friend, completely black history.

Yeah, yeah. That's right.

Don't be sarcastic.

You], let's say yes. Serpense is right. What Serpens says is the truth. Oh no, not like that.

I'm sorry. I'm too much for you.

You made an unreasonable request.

The boy sighed deeply and said.

His expression became serious in a different direction than before, but his complexion definitely improved. He seems to have regained his leisure enough to be able to joke around.

However, it seems that the irritability index has risen in exchange for him, so let's stop and get back to the basics.

Anyway. I encourage you to make friends, but you don't have to force yourself to play with a child you don't like. If you want to be friendly with all the children at the playground, that's rather greedy.

"Sunwoo, you seem to have the ability to make all problems light."

Thanks for the compliment! That's my charming point!

Serpens laughed and shook his head.

Instead! Let's make a tea for sure.

"Tea?"

''Yes. Serpence is halfway through accepting and accepting, so Humanus keeps developing a friendship of his own. Is it okay to cut off only the serpents? Human relationships are basically two-way."

But that's politically unreasonable...

Who doesn't want to distinguish between public and private? If you don't like friendly expressions like shrugging or hugging, you don't have to force it. At least Humanus is not someone who publicly oppresses or harms anyone because of his private feelings. . Even Serpence knows that much.

Even if it's someone he doesn't like, he's afraid he'll be hated. I could honestly say that it was because I was afraid, but it is.

That is human nature.

How many people enjoy being hated by others? No, will there be?

Being able to overcome it and be proud is the first step to loving yourself.

You have to speak up or vote, don't you think the other party will notice? That way, you can look back and reflect on what's wrong with your actions, or raise your eyes. As a result, Serpense's actions robbed him of even an opportunity to apologize.

It's Pence's fault.

How shocking would it be to find out that someone who had never doubted that he was a friend from the time his cognitive abilities were established had been branded as a traitor and hated and reluctant to admit to him?

If Humanus deceived Serpens without knowing it, Serpens knowingly deceived Humanus.

for a very long time too.

"So , uh, huh?! Why are you crying all of a sudden?!"

I started by calming him down so that I could have a conversation at the best, but he ended up in tears.

poured a cocktail

He seems to be listening calmly, but without any warning, he begins to shed tears like chicken dung.

No, who the hell called, who?! Whoa, that's a bad guy!

"Even to Seonwoo's point of view , suck, am I a bad person?"

Now, boy, tell me I was wrong. Are you crying because of it?

No matter how old you are (twenty) five years old, you're not really going to throw away 20 years' worth of money, right?

Why is Serpens a bad person? It's not bad at all. What I just said doesn't mean that Serpens was bad, it's just that I'm not good at social life.

"But, Seonwoo didn't he ever tell me that he was kind to me even once?"

I guess my ears are wrong.

But just in case you don't know, you might need to ask him to confirm.

"Serpence ? No wonder I'm like, 'Aigoo~! Our Serpence!

Are you doing this because you're sad that you didn't say something like 'Everyone is nice!'?"

right ???????????????? .

Don't make a face like that.

'Are you a child?' almost came out, but the child was right, so I held it tight.

He's only a big body, but he's a child who hasn't grown up at all. It was a time when love, attention and care were in full swing.

Listen to me, Serpens.

I moved my hand from his shoulder and gently stroked his head.

and opened his mouth.

Serpens did not avoid it and looked up at me with still weeping eyes.

The reason I didn't tell Serpens that he was good is not that he was bad.

" isn't that what it is?"

"Serpens have been forced to deal with good and evil since childhood. Good and evil are always relative and subjective. That's what it was.

really?

Of course! Serpence is right even if you don't put yourself in that frame. Even if you make mistakes sometimes, it's normal as a human being. It's absolutely not wrong.

I didn't think I'd stop crying right away just by saying this.

However .

Why are you crying more?!

"That, though , black! Even Seon-woo has a subjective framework of good and evil suffocating, isn't it? If . very if. I

What if I get out of Seonwoo's tee?"

''You have to scold me.

" Is that all?"

The boy giggled and rolled his eyes.

It looked like he was asking if that was all he had.

"Is it possible? I chased after him every day and was next to him, squealing, saying, 'Serpens, do you repent? You have to repent. How about repenting? Is it time to repent?' I'll bother you!

I can't say no, it's a very cruel treatment, even in my opinion.

If this is enough, Tenebrio is like, 'Wow, sir, me too '.'

But Serpens probably doesn't think so.

Or is it just a good thing to say that I will never give up on myself to the end?

The corner of his mouth seemed to twitch a little, and eventually he let out a gurgling sound and shook his head and laughed.

'Really, a guy who laughs a lot and cries a lot?'

It's hard to know where these colorful emotions have been hidden so far.

I, uhm... I think I was worried too much. Yeah, Sunwoo, you are such a person...

He smiled brightly as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

The way he smiles while sniffling his red nose.

A child who was lost on the street found her mother and held her in her arms

like. At last, he seemed very comfortable.

Yes, that's right. Now that you know, you don't have to worry about this in the future.

Yeah. Let's take a look.

Ding! It should be reflected, not referenced!

As a punishment, he put his fingers through his hair and messed it up.

Her thin, soft hair tickled and brushed between her knuckles.

If it wasn't for Serpence's head, I recommend him to play with touch.

It feels so good that I want to go.

Yeah, I got it. Make sure to reflect it.

Even if her hair is sparse, Serpens smiled and said that she liked it. It was a smile that would disappear immediately if he looked at his hair in the mirror.

I thought it would be fun to watch it right now, so I thought I should tell you before I leave work later, so I dropped my hand.

Okay! Then, what if Humanus wants to hug you in the future?

Was the answer included even that?

Of course!

He looked as if he had been deceived, as if he had been belatedly realizing that the shoulder Serpens had signed a double contract without his knowledge.

Come on, come on. Come on, let's answer it!

Avoid.

Correct! In the future, whether it's Humanus or anyone else, if Serpens tries to make unwanted contact, he'll say, 'No. Why are you doing this? Don't do this!'

Isn't the line a bit strange?''

I'm worried, I'm worried!

There was a sign of discomfort, but it was unavoidable

I thought they would feel a certain degree of friendliness to accept everything while they were there.

But when I looked at it closely, it wasn't like that at all.

To compare, I believed only the recommendation of my friend and bought the stock a lot, but the very next day, the stock price plummeted.

It's not perfect, but that's roughly how it feels.

There is no separate Cheolcheon branch of Byeongdaecheon.

'If it were me, I'd be thrilled and shake it off if I put my hand on my shoulder!'

Despite this, I have accepted all of Humanus' contact during that time, but if that's the case. How long would it be if a person with no feelings flirts... .

It's weird if you don't worry about it.

Previously, there was also Shildra, the master of the Holy Sword, the nominee. Can you tell if this naive guy is the right fit?

for a moment.

I was beating my chest in frustration, when suddenly Serpens grabbed my wrist.

I didn't hit it painfully. I hit it softly.

"You can tell by pretending. It's not that kind of problem, but where did the badges that the denomination give you as a reward go?"

Heretic Inquisitor, the white velvet box Eilic brought.

It contained 6 heavy gold bars and 3 badges that Serpens had just mentioned.

It's a gold bar, it's just something that turns into money if you sell it.

The badge was about the size of a thumb1, and it was shaped like a light.

In the center of the jagged shape, which is presumed to be a nail polish, a transparent gem the size of a little fingernail is embedded.

"Are you sure you haven't been doing well until recently?"

No, that's it. You said I can wear it like a cufflink because it has a black magic detection function, so it's easy to see? But now it's summer and I have to wash my shirt every day, so it's cumbersome to move it every day, and I accidentally wash it or lose it. If I even throw it away, I think I'll be arrested for blasphemy...

"So now?"

"You put it in your pocket.

all!

The eyes of Serpens, who had been weeping a while ago, turned into ax eyes.

Obviously, I was scolding Serpens, and the situation immediately turned upside down.

"It's okay to have Serpens by your side anyway, right?"

It's not like we're always together. You never know when something will happen, so you have to make it a habit to take care of it every day.

He rolled his eyes and let go.

It is an eye where there is absolutely no compromise.

If you don't reply that you'll put it on your sleeve right away, you won't let go of your wrist like this.

Oh, that's right! Okay, okay! It's the month now, so will you let me go?

Serpense's hand fell off, and I took out the Agong liver pocket I had in my vest's inner pocket and opened the entrance.

That moment.

for a moment.

Why again?

All of a sudden, Serpens shrugged his shoulders and snatched it up.

flipped over

"What the hell are you carrying around?"

Yes?

Instead of explaining the gatabuta, he stretched out his hand and showed me the object on the palm of his hand.

A badge given by the church.

" why is this black?"

"What I want to ask is, where the hell do you pick up something and carry it with you?"

Serpence muttered to himself in a jingle voice, got up from his seat, and laid on the carpet in the center of the office.

The contents of the pocket were poured out.

All kinds of snacks, money, gold bars, magic scrolls.

Other than that, all sorts of trinkets were poured out, and bottles of special holy water that Serpens made whenever he had time .

Huh? Did this taste good too?

Of the five-liter bottles, four had a gray haze, and the other barely maintained a faint light that could be extinguished at any moment.

This is probably why the badge turned black.

"Where the hell are you doing?"

Wait! Serpence has been together ever since he came back from subjugation! I'm innocent!

"Does it sound like an innocence even when I see this?!"

Occasionally, when he went out of the duke's residence on the weekend, he chased after him, so the only problem there was when Serpens went on an expedition.

Thinking like that, there were enough points to point out.

"Perhaps then, the devil told me

I guess it wasn't that I wasn't brainwashed, it was that I wasn't.''

It was unintentionally being teased. I wasn't sorry at all.

What the hell is that time, and I still have this...

That's right.

He said he was going to keep the magic scroll as much as possible, so he put it in his pocket and put it away, and forgot it as it was.

If I had taken it out and checked it right away, it would have ended with just one scolding.

However, if you put it in the subspace pocket, what is the difference with the space that exists in the third dimension?

Do you think it is connected or something?"

"Who would use something that could be stolen even by a wizard on the other side of the continent?

Serpense's tone of voice was noticeably lowered.

Why did I think to check this haha I didn't immediately believe what you said that the demon worshiper had only brainwashed the deputy butler...

It was me who was at fault, but he started to blame himself.

...sorry, it's all my fault

all! Never again! I wear the badge on my wrist and check it every hour, and I will take out the holy water every day from now on to check the condition!

I returned to my seat, knelt down and raised my hands.

Whom did I give hunsu to on this topic? Even if I have ten mouths, I have nothing to say.
