Became Apocalypse’s Harem Warrior. 239

Chapter 239 – 239. Claudia Leaves for Euphoria. [Claudia’s Decision][5]

“No, Claudia, do you want to talk to me? “I don’t know why she wants to talk to Ricardo?”

Claudia came to the headquarters of the Dark Awakenings.
Claudia originally called Alfredo and she said she would meet Ricardo and talk.
Alfredo stopped it, but Claudia came to the Dark Awakening’s base.
Alfredo, who heard the news belatedly, hurriedly returned to his base.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?”

Claudia said with a sour expression to Alfredo, who was trying to dissuade Claudia with a very confused expression.

“What do you mean…?”

Alfredo was quite a good actor, but Claudia’s expression in front of her was so genuine that she was frightened and stammered.

“The investigators from the Gwangmyeong Goddess Church came and went, and the power of the devil began to awaken. “You didn’t tell me.”

In the end, Claudia mentioned the situation between the Euphoria Light Society and the Demon King Janus.

“Haha, that’s… It’s a bit hard for me to mention it…”

Then Alfredo suddenly panicked.

“Know. So she says she will talk to Ricardo directly. “There are such things involved, but Alfredo, don’t you think we can talk about it from your level?”

Although Claudia was harsh and cold, she was considerate of Alfredo.
This is because, for her, the person she interacted with the most after joining the Dark Awakening group was Alfredo.

“Even so, you will talk to me… Aren’t I the one who brought Claudia from Euphoria…”

But what would be the most difficult situation for those who follow?
Isn’t this saying that the superior should come down and that he will go meet the superior?
Since Alfredo had properly lined up Ricardo, he developed a severe allergy to Claudia’s words that she was going to see Ricardo.

“I didn’t mention it to help you, Alfredo. The person who told you to bring me was actually Ricardo. “Am I wrong?”

As she persisted until the end, Claudia eventually mentioned that Alfredo was a dick.

“I’ll just give it to you, Alfredo. “I also want to see Claudius’s face after a long time.”

At that moment, Ricardo’s voice was heard from Ricardo’s room at the end of the hallway.

Damn…! Damn…! Damn…! Damn…!

The Dark Awakening Headquarters looked like a huge castle that could only exist in Euphoria, a different world.
Because the ceiling was so high, the door to the inner room was also very large.
The large door opened and Claudia walked towards the desk where Ricardo was sitting.

“It’s been a while, Claudia. “Is this the first time since I went down to Taewang City with you to see the hero?”

Grinning…!

Riccardo, a very handsome boy, spoke to Claudia with a refreshing smile befitting a handsome boy.

“You’ve taken complete control? If Alfredo is like that, it means you are the center. Until then, there was still an atmosphere of tug-of-war.”

Chuck!

Claudia stood in front of the desk with her arms crossed.

“I understand, Claudia… You must be upset. “The feeling of betrayal when you suddenly find out about something important through a collision with a mutant zombie without being able to hear it. That kind of thing is so rampant in this world that I can fully sympathize with it.”

Claudia didn’t react much to the greeting, “It’s been a while.”
Ricardo also got straight to the point.

“But I hope you understand that it’s because you are a talented human resource. “The Demon King’s power has begun to awaken, but we don’t know what will happen next.”

“It’s not that I told someone separately and I didn’t tell someone else, but the guys who often come and go to my base somehow managed to hear it.”

Ricardo spoke with the nuance that he had no choice but to keep Claudia captive in preparation for the possible stagnation of the Demon King’s resurrection energy.

“…”

At those words, Claudia looked at Ricardo with a calm expression.
Because I know that what Ricardo said was a lie.
The power of the Demon King has already awakened, it is only a matter of when, it will not stop.
She knows that the dark awakeners from this world who are good at magic only have the ability to activate and evolve the dark ether like Claudia, but she fully understands the mechanism.

Ricardo is just keeping Claudia in order to use her tail cutting timing.

“That’s your situation. As I said when we first connected, I need money. So I can’t just wait for this vague situation.”

However, Claudia did not bother to mention that fact.

“I’m leaving this project.”

Because I plan to quit.

“I’ll make you pay even when you’re waiting. “Then isn’t that a good condition?”

Then Ricardo handed her a large carrot.

“I will get paid for the amount of work I do.” That’s what I said when I first started working with you. I’m a professional. That’s why I came here and said I would quit. “That’s the minimum manners for a professional.”

But Claudia had reasons to refuse it.
Because she actually lived that way.

“…”

Ricardo looked at Claudia with quite cold eyes.
She felt like she couldn’t do what she wanted.

“Why don’t you just let me go?”

At that moment, a quite familiar voice was heard from the balcony of the inner room.

“You have dirty manners, Antonio…”

It was Antonio who received help from Claudia.
Ricardo, uncomfortable with his appearance, raised his eyebrows.

“Ricardo, aren’t you also from a great noble family? Then you have to show at least some dignity. “If you have done that much, please send it to me neatly.”

Damn…! Damn…! Damn…! Damn…!

Ignoring Ricardo’s uncomfortable words, Antonio walked into the inner room where Claudia and Ricardo were.

“I can’t help it… Okay, Claudia… I hope you don’t interfere with our work by sticking to the Gwangmyeonghoe’s side…”

In the end, Ricardo negotiated instead of letting Claudia go.

“They don’t even believe me anyway.”

Claudia responded to the negotiation with a very cool expression.

**********

“Nyaaaaang…”

Claudia’s Tree Fruit House located in Buksan, Seoul,
Seraphim was lying on the bed in the master bedroom.

“Wake up~ Now we have to dismantle this~ When you first came here, you didn’t want to come, but now you’ve changed your attitude and don’t want to leave~?”

Claudia looked at Seraphim with a pained expression.
Claudia, who left the Dark Awakened organization.
She wants to return to Euphoria.

“Nyan…”

Seraphim, the smart cat, insisted on her lying down, and she looked up at Claudia with a pitiful expression.

“Why~ Why do you look so pitiful~”

That expression is not the pitiful expression of Seraphim.
It felt like Seraphim was looking at Claudia with pity.
Claudia herself seemed to feel the same way.

“I can’t help it, Seraphim… The children are waiting. Yes… That’s right… Taesik is a really good person… I think he’s the first person since Merlin that I’ve felt so protected by… A friend… I never thought I’d have a friend again.”

“But helping those kids is also really important to me. Because they are the children who created a goal in life for me, who was just struggling and wandering. “I will definitely keep my promise.”

Seraphim is happy to see Claudia happy next to Kim Tae-sik.
So she is spending her time like this.
However, life cannot be done by only doing good things right away.
Living with responsibility,
There are times when we put off what we want to do in order to fulfill our responsibilities.
In her most difficult days, Claudia is willing to give up her current happiness because her commitment to her children ended her own wandering.

“Honestly, I’m just starting to feel regretful… So, please help this sister too… So that she can leave with a cool and stylish greeting, just like my usual style…”

Pat… Pat… Pat… Pat…

Eventually, Claudia began to comfort Seraphim by stroking him.

“Nyan…”

Sigh…!

Eventually Seraphim stopped her protests and stood up.

“Going back to Euphoria?”

Claudia cleaned up the tree house in Buksan and came to the place where Kim Tae-sik was staying.
Kim Tae-sik, who welcomed her as warmly as any other time,
But what she said was that she was going back to Euphoria.
At those words, Kim Tae-sik’s eyes widened and he stopped busy making food.

“Uh… I’m going back… I quit the Dark Awakening organization. I said I was quitting because I felt like there was nothing more I could do. So I have to go back. “Because I can’t make any more money.”

Claudia was so saddened by the sight of Tae-sik Kim stopping to cook her food for her.
For this reason, her tone became slightly trembling.

“You quit… That’s why you left so suddenly…”

Claudia’s expression as she left during the meal yesterday showed a determination.
So Kim Tae-sik had no time to ask what was going on.

“But do we have to go right away like this…? “Is there nothing we can do since I am a hero and I am in conflict with the Dark Awakenings over there?”

It feels like I’m running away.
Kim Tae-sik wondered if he was the cause.
Because Claudia placed a great deal of importance on belonging, it was thought that no matter how bad the breakup was, it would not be easy to face the Dark Awakenings on the other side.

“No, nothing like that. I’m a really cool person. “I came here for business, and now that business is over, I’m not tied to it anymore.”

“As I said yesterday, I am currently trying to establish a witch school. A bigger business is ending sooner than I thought, so I think I need to hurry up and start working as an adventurer again. “If you don’t work there for a long time, your credibility will drop and people won’t call you.”

However, Claudia explained that that was not the reason at all.

“You have to work as an adventurer… You said you had to build a school… You said you were waiting for children…”

In the end, Kim Tae-sik had no choice but to agree.
This is because he also sympathized with how meaningful it was for Claudia to establish a witch school.

“Well, I can’t say that you have no influence at all…”

At that moment, Claudia spoke slightly hesitantly.

“If I stay with you any longer… I really think I won’t want to go…”

I wanted to go cool, but
I felt like I would regret it if I didn’t even say this.
So Claudia spoke her current feelings as if confessing.

“After that, I was so warm to me, so it’s my first time …

In the end, Claudia burst into tears.

Come on…!

Taesik Kim hugged Claudia as she burst into tears.

“I was really happy too, Claudia… I felt like I had actually met the witch sister I looked up to when I was young… You are such a pure, lovely and mysterious person…”

And he expressed how much happiness he also felt from her presence as Claudia.

“Thank you… Uuuuu

Claudia cried loudly in Kim Tae-sik’s arms.

‘If I had the power… If I had the power to help Claudia, I wouldn’t let her go like this… Ah… I’m feeling this way again…’

Kim Tae-sik felt helpless again.
He said he would be a pleasant friend.
When his friend left his side, Kim Tae-sik could do nothing.

‘Ah…!’

At that moment, something crossed Kim Tae-sik’s mind.

‘That! ‘Maybe that’s what Dohee said…!’

His expression seemed like he had found a solution to the current situation.
