Chapter 121 – Chapter 115 – Never Make an Elf Angry (3)
Hernán, the children’s meal attendant, gently mashed the potatoes in the stew.
He blows on and cools the children who can’t eat hot food, and then puts it in the mouths of the children sitting next to them in turn.
It’s quite a hectic task because there are not one or two children.
The children who ate the food were also happy when their father, unlike their mother, couldn’t always stick around, fed them himself.
Thanks to this, Hernán was able to forget for a moment the tension emanating from the adult dining table across the street.
But soon, when it was Lenny’s turn to eat, he became aware of the strange atmosphere that was now flowing over the table.
“Ring…”
Lenny smiled shyly as he looked at the ring on Ernan’s hand.
It’s obvious why the kid who didn’t react much when Hernán usually wears this is suddenly happy to see this.
Hernán kept a sidelong glance at Marina as much as possible to keep her from being seen by the other women.
She was wearing a flower ring in the same position as the little finger of her left hand where Hernán was wearing her ring.
And it was not only Hernan, but other women were also glancing at it.
Fortina Silnia, in particular, couldn’t take her eyes off Marina from the moment she found out she was wearing it.
“Hernan?”
“Huh?”
Hernán was slightly surprised by the sudden call.
He quickly saw Sharpie feeding the children with him.
“Looks like the potatoes will run out soon? Wouldn’t it be better if it fell into Lenny’s mouth?”
Across from her table, she smiled softly and lifted the spoon Hernán was holding.
As I moved my gaze along the sharpie’s fingers, I saw Marina’s daughter waiting quietly and food on the tip of a spoon.
Hernán said he was sorry for Lenny and passed her potato to her child’s mouth.
Sharpie spoke quietly as she fed the torn meat to her children.
“The ring was a gift from Lenny, right? Hernan strengthened it.”
“That’s right. And the one the saintess is wearing is the same.”
“But why is the saintess wearing a ring now? Could it be that he made another one recently?”
At Sharpie’s question, Hernan was silent for a moment.
In the meantime, the sharpie used both her tail and her hands to feed several children.
“Anyway, sooner or later our king’s body might be covered with ornaments.”
“Did you know Potty makes this?”
Hernán, like Sharpie, had a small voice that other women wouldn’t hear.
Then she carefully showed the rose ring on the ring finger of her right hand.
Sharpie smiled softly and shook her head.
“No. I haven’t been able to talk to Potty much lately because I’ve gotten used to a new hobby.”
“A new hobby?”
“Appreciation of paintings.”
The demon king gave off a strange atmosphere and averted his eyes.
There, I saw Karine, who was quietly eating.
Amidst the women exchanging bad glances at each other, they hang their heads down and chew on their meals.
It seems to be eating a nunchisbap among bloody people.
For some reason, I feel strange because it overlaps with the image of young Karine eating…
“And since I have two kids, I’m a bit busy!”
Hernan couldn’t keep up with her thoughts, and she turned her attention back to Sharpie.
She went on her talk quickly, handing out some of her food to her second child.
“Didn’t Forty First make it for you? Maybe Potty made it.”
The demon king’s guess was not different from Hernan’s.
She glanced sideways at Poti, who was sitting on her throne, and moved her fingers to Hernán’s right hand.
“And wouldn’t he have made one for himself? Considering his Forty personality, he would have made another one to be with Hernán.”
“I guess so.”
Hernán responded briefly and agreed with Sharpie’s words.
Forty is still fiddling with her pocket and showing that she wants to wear the ring right away.
If Hernan had given her the slightest sign that it was OK to wear it, or if it weren’t for Silnia, who gives off a strangely hideous vibe, when she saw Marina’s hand, she would have put it on right away.
Thinking about how to reduce the competition as much as possible, he said something half-joking to Sharpie.
“Should I rather make the same ring myself and spin it one by one? There is no need to let the children get involved in the affairs of adults.”
The sharpie grinned at that and twitched her tail as she held the spoon.
“It won’t be bad. But I already got a present, so I don’t need it!”
Even though she lowered her voice a lot, her voice sounded quite lively.
Hernan glanced at Ella at her lively reaction and asked a question.
“Did he already give you a present? Does your child grow faster than the other children? Do you already take care of her mother?”
“That’s not the gift this body said.”
Sharpie gave her head a slight bow in her coy voice.
“You’re talking about the gift El gave you.”
Then I could see what she was saying.
A black cloth wrapped around the horns.
Inside is a soft male masturbator.
Hernán scratched her nose as he looked at Ona Hall, who was now more awkward to take off.
“Oh my… No, a safety device on the horn?”
“Huh! Just like a ring, you wear it on your body!”
The demon king put on a happy expression and rubbed it openly.
All the women knew that the Sharpie’s antlers were a gift from Hernán.
But no one was jealous or envious of this.
He would have said that too, because it was originally in Sharpie’s special room, and its original purpose was embarrassing.
To be honest, even Hernan himself wasn’t sure if Sharpie would like her.
But the sharpie was very pleased, and she used it, mending it with her own hands, even with her clumsy dexterity.
It was clear that he liked it.
Maybe because she’s a dreamer, her sensibilities are a bit different from normal humans.
While Hernán stared at her and her horns, Sharpie quietly spoke to her.
“Of course, I won’t decline if L makes me a ring to put on my hand…”
She smiled and her heart eyes lit up.
Hernán saw that she held out her hand implicitly and fixed her gaze there.
The sharpie didn’t lift the spoon, and that was her empty hand, so she naturally raised her left hand as if she couldn’t help it.
And she wriggled her fingers in great detail.
Among them, it felt like the ring finger was visibly twitching.
Do you know that the ring on the ring finger of the left hand is a special symbol among Sharpido mankind?
It means eternal love looking at each other.
“Among the demons, it is a sign of respect for the other person to present a ring. You say you would be happy if our King gave you such a gift?”
Hearing her words, Hernan smiled bitterly at her.
The Demon King maintains an active relationship only with Hernan and Potty.
Hernán herself has never informed Sharpie of such a culture, and Potty is also ignorant of such a culture to the point of trying to put a ring on her ring finger of her right hand.
Unless Sharpie had a chance to come into contact with human culture, she would never know.
And Ernan didn’t think that she was a woman who had even been the king of the demons, that she would have grasped that she was nothing more than an expression of human affection.
“For now, I’ll leave it open to one possibility. If I make it myself, I will insert it myself.”
“… I look forward to it.”
The sharpie, her red eyes shining, smiled and lowered her hand.
After that, there was a bit of silence and awkwardness until someone spoke up.
But it’s not a bad awkwardness.
For some reason, at this heavy meal, I even felt like I was evacuated alone with Sharpie.
So I don’t want to break this silence.
However, the dream demon spoke to her with a big smile on her eyes.
“If you want to be really hard, let’s put on what we normally wear!”
“What do you usually wear?”
Hernan got the feeling that Sharpie was probably going to say something sexual.
No clear reason can be given.
She just had a hunch that it might be so.
“Huh! Of course, the vicious thing between Hernan’s legs is in the round hole of this body…”
Hernan did indeed laugh inside her as she brought out her lewd words.
She, of course, put on an outwardly unwilling look.
“Didn’t I tell you not too long ago that I should be careful with such words in front of the kids?”
“I know! Again, this dreamer’s mouth is a problem.”
At first, this demon king and dreamer, who did not know the inside properly, gets used to it.
Will we get to know each other better later?
“If you know, let’s shut up adults and feed the kids.”
Hernán prepared food, predicting whether the dreamer, who did not know about marriage, would be delighted with the wedding ring.
What is certain in many imaginations is that if only she received such a thing, the whole place would be turned upside down.
He sighed lightly and looked at the women, who were still tense.
Of course, if I stay still like this, regardless of Sharpie, this place will turn upside down.
Caressing the pale purple flower ring on her hand, Hernán looked at the woman who had become the epicenter of this affair.
Coincidentally, Marina also looked towards Hernan, so the two people’s gazes intertwined.
“Dad?”
Thinking we should meet later this evening, he turned his head back to Lennie, who was bothering her with food.
* * *
“Yes? Hey, are you going to Marina?”
Scared to organize dinner, Potty approached Hernán in the laundry room.
As he poured the new lavender-scented water into the laundry room, he nodded to Potty.
“Okay. I have something to talk to Marina about.”
“Ha, but…”
Potty wiggled his hand awkwardly.
Besides, his bunny ears swayed helplessly.
For a small woman to look like that, she aroused quite a bit of sympathy.
However, Hernán guessed that Forty would try to cross the line even more if he responded softly here.
“I have something to do with Marina. Haven’t you been spending time with you lately? I was in the lab this afternoon because you asked for it. So are you okay?”
“Yo, you hang around with Marina too much these days!”
“That’s right, the saintess most recently gave birth to a child. The child is still young Even the saintess does the most housework after me, so I have to stick with her more.”
Of course, Potty knows that all too well.
Until now, Hernán often went to women who were pregnant or had just given birth and needed help, and he did not show any particular complaints.
At least to the point of regret?
In other words, she’s acting this way for some other reason.
“Is it because of the ring?”
If you don’t know, that’s even weirder.
Potty also acknowledged that Hernan was right with a small voice.
“Yes… My son made it with L, so can I put a ring on it?”
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Forty smiled at those words and put his hands in his pockets.
However, when Hernán brought out the words he had thought of beforehand, he put on a frustrated expression.
“You can wear it, but only on the same finger as the one I wear the ring on.”
“A finger with El…”
She looked at the ring finger of Hernán’s right hand where the ring was positioned.
It is a bit far from the meaning of the wedding ring that Forty was originally aiming for.
“Hey, El? If it’s okay, can I put it in here?”
Eventually, when it became difficult for her to speak further, she revealed her true feelings.
“It’s the ring finger on my left hand… Oh, since I didn’t know Una before, I put it on her right ring finger, so can’t I wear it on her left hand?”
“No.”
Hernán squeezed the water out of her babies’ clothes in her firm refusal.
Potty was not accustomed to such a resolute refusal, so she asked again with tears in her eyes.
“Uh, why? I’m just trying to put it on the finger I like…”
“Other girls will be aroused.”
This time, she decided to lengthen her explanation to make it easier for Potty to accept.
“You know what it means to put a ring on that finger, right? Will the other girls just watch it?”
“Eww…”
Forty lifted her heels anxiously, lowered her, and pulled out her ring.
A ring made of roses that always grow in desirable shapes in Potty’s laboratory.
Is that why?
Even though it was made with the poor skills of a child, it is more beautiful than most metal rings.
“I really can’t? To be honest, I gave birth to the most children, and I’m also on good terms with L…”
Her words were slightly at the end, but she was not confident.
She didn’t seem to have the courage to say anything like that.
Instead, she seems to have decided to use the most obvious facts.
“Because, and I am the queen! Wouldn’t it be natural for the queen to take the most valuable position of the king?”
She, already the queen of her dining table, occupied the seat closest to Hernán.
Fingers here?
Hernán secretly foretold the possibility that the women would accept it.
Of course, the results were negative.
“Forties. Put her ring on her right hand and get out. Didn’t you just leave the kids in the room?”
“Go with the Sharpies, we’re in the Sharpies room together. And why not? I already had my seat in order…”
It’s a meal spot, three times a day, when you eat, it’s over.
She meant that she didn’t see a woman higher in rank than her snuggling with Hernan all day long.
In addition, because of the meal schedule, two people miss each meal.
Even if she is the lowest ranking person, then she can sit next to Hernán.
But what about the ring?
It is also ridiculous to change the ring every time to match the woman you meet.
If so, the position of the ring is always fixed.
After all, whenever women meet Hernan, they have to see her other woman’s ring shining brightly on Hernan’s ring finger.
“The rank is only determined by the Demon God. It’s a temporary thing that will become meaningless once we get out of here.”
Hernán kept wringing the water out of her clothes, being careful not to splash the dirty water on Potty.
“So let’s not dwell too much on class. As I said last time, class or a ring like this doesn’t necessarily mean I love someone more.”
Even after hearing Hernán’s explanation, Potty didn’t seem to understand easily, and her golden eyes trembled anxiously.
“Eh, if I get out of here…”
She hesitated, and when Hernán showed that he was slowly concentrating on washing, he hurriedly brought her out.
“What if I leave?”
Ernan wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling that since she has many children, she has a lot to do.
Potty gulped at her and met Hernán’s eyes.
“Married couple… Will you be?”
Hernán shut her mouth as he gazed at her exotic gold interior.
To that extent, the word “Couple” That Forty brought out had a sense of complicating and twisting his feelings.
Especially since Sylnia kept asking to go to the forest together, the words marriage or husband and wife tangled in his head.
“Well, so I think this is something we put together before we become a couple…”
Hernan decided it was time to cut the conversation.
“Forties.”
Potty was taken aback by his cold voice.
“Yes?”
“I am going to the saintess today. The ring Ouna gave me will be worn on the ring finger of her right hand.”
Briefly repeat what you said before him.
In other words, I have no intention of further discussion on this topic.
“Go back to your room.”
“Eh, El…”
“Hurry.”
As Hernán put a rather menacing air in his voice, Forty’s face turned terrified.
“I’m sorry! I am so sorry today!”
Potty ran away, covering his ears with his hands.
Did I speak too loud?
It seems that Potty was very surprised because he had rarely come out this strong.
She was surprised at the fact that Hernán himself reacted more harshly than she expected.
That’s why the word Poty brought out that they were a married couple must have pierced Hernán’s heart.
The word couple, which would have originally made Hernan’s heart beat with anticipation, made his shoulders heavier as he got closer to the women.
If he goes out in a similar state as now, the relationship as a couple will be a form of uneasy mate rather than solid solidarity.
Women who are jealous of each other and want more of their man’s time.
Even if you go out, you will regain the mighty power that you lost in the meantime.
The quarrel won’t end to the point of burning ingredients that shouldn’t be eaten in cookies.
“Huh?”
As Hernán was wringing out the last piece of laundry, he noticed something that had fallen to the floor.
It was Potty’s ring, showing a bright red color.
It was probably spilled while running away.
He looked at it for a long time before holding it in his hand.
“This one isn’t strong either.”
As a ring made of flower petals, of course it couldn’t be strong.
He cherished it, thinking that he should make it like the ring Lenny made.
Whether this is the cause of the quarrel or not, the fact that it’s precious hasn’t changed.
Hernán took care of his complicated mind and figured out how to strengthen it.
* * *
“Yes. Just put it on there and tie it up.”
Hernán tightly wrapped Marina’s wrist with a bandage.
In the meantime, his eyes kept going to the ring on Marina’s finger, but he deliberately ignored it and opened her mouth.
“Her wrist is slightly swollen. Aren’t you sick?”
“I am not seriously ill.”
I didn’t know because she didn’t say anything during her meal, but when I came to her room to spend her time with her, I found out that her saintess had sprained her wrist.
If it was only one hand, he would have simply considered the housework overwork or a mistake.
“Give me your right hand too. It’s less swollen here.”
However, it seemed that both hands were evenly impacted.
It is most likely an injury caused by a fall.
It also fell like kneeling forward.
“Lady. How did you get hurt?”
“Yes? That’s how I live, so it’s natural…”
“What are you doing that hurts both wrists at the same time? Didn’t you fall down?”
He asked anxiously, but the saintess refrained from answering her.
“I just lost my balance traveling with my two children.”
“Then are the children okay?”
Hernan called Lenny with a worried face.
“Aren’t you sick?”
“… Yes.”
Lenny hesitated and nodded her head.
Hernán asked the question again, wondering if he was hiding the fact that the child was sick.
“Can you tell me if you have any pain? Daddy won’t hurt you.”
The child hesitated again before opening her mouth.
And the words that came out of her mouth were unexpected.
“Aunt Sylnia…”
“Sylnia?”
Nod
The child moved his head and carefully glanced sideways at his mother.
“My mom hurt me.”
“Lenny!”
Marina hurriedly tried to stop her child, but Hernan spoke first.
“What are you talking about? Did Sylnia push her mom by any chance?”
Nod
This time, the child nodded her head.
Then she started to cry.
“Mom… I made an ouch sound in her room. Not when she was eating Mamma.”
Had her shocked hand swollen over time?
Until she ate, she was still able to hold on, but it was not until she entered her room that the pain and swelling came to her.
“Holy Lady.”
Hernán looked back at the saintess with her hard expression.
“Please explain in detail. Did Silnia really push the saintess?”
Marina looked at him with an expressionless face.
And after a while she quietly nodded her head.
“I tried not to tell her, but…”
She began to explain the situation to Hernán.
