Chapter 60 – Please Go Up and Comfort Me.
“You said there was an antidote, right?”
“That’s right. “I drank it too.”
“I wish I could give it to you too.”
“It’s not a complete detox, it only helps alleviate symptoms.”
“Are you saying there is no way to completely solve it?”
“That’s right. Not yet.”
“…”
There is none.
This is a big deal.
“How long will it take?”
“What?”
“For this enchantment spell to be deciphered.”
I tapped on the research material that contained the charm of the succubus.
“… Well? I’m not sure. “It’s my first time ordering this.”
“Then how long will it take to create an antidote that can completely detoxify?”
“I can’t guarantee that either.”
Lepis shook her head in succession.
“Hmm.”
There is no way.
“Then first, give me the antidote that will at least relieve the symptoms.”
After hesitating for a moment, Lepis held out a small brown bottle.
“You have to eat it regularly, once every two weeks.”
“What if I don’t?”
“It will go back to the way it was.”
“Okay.”
I wondered for a moment whether I could eat what Lepis gave me.
But she just wanted my body, she didn’t want anything more than that.
Yes.
Let’s drink.
I drank Lepis’ antidote.
To be exact, a symptom reliever.
Gulp.
My heart is pounding.
The heartbeat has definitely decreased compared to before.
I still feel sexual desire, but it’s much better than before.
“But why do you want to drink that?”
Lepis asked.
“After all, it’s not because of me, is it?”
“Okay.”
“Ugh, that’s a bit of a shame.”
After finishing her appetite, Lepis let out a small sigh that could barely be heard.
“I hoped it was because of me.”
“You said once every two weeks, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then please do me a favor.”
“What, what?”
“I will come to you once every two weeks and ask for an antidote. “Don’t do anything unnecessary.”
“…”
“It’s hard to call me a minister, but if you give me the antidote, I will satisfy you.”
Lepis’ eyes trembled as if he had not expected these words.
“Do you not like it?”
“No. Not a bad deal. Mmmm. Good. I understand.”
This should be enough.
I won’t do anything unnecessary with the medicine I drink.
Although she was reluctant to give her money to cover up what happened because of her.
This would be better than running wild for no reason.
“Then please take care of me.”
Tak.
She put down the antidote bottle and left the room.
Lepis, who was looking at the door where Dojin left, held the one remaining antidote in his hand.
Should I drink it or not?
My heart is still pounding.
It’s probably not just because I was in contact with him just a moment ago.
However.
It’s probably because she was also cursed with fascination.
As a magician, she knew better than anyone else.
“Gulp.”
Lepis, who swallowed her saliva, did not drink the antidote.
‘I don’t want to drink.’
At least she wanted to believe that these feelings were sincere.

“Manager!”
When I got to work, Elena and Sylvia were looking at the counter together.
Elena made eye contact with me and smiled brightly.
Hehe.”
It was Elena who made eye contact with me and smiled stupidly.
“Were you all working hard?”
“Yes! I was working hard!”
Elena answered particularly energetically.
“Nothing much happened.”
Sylvia also answered late.
“It was a lot of hard work.”
I stroked Elena’s head.
Hehe, the manager has big hands.”
Elena closed her eyes and smiled, tapping my hand this time.
‘It’s definitely better than before.’
That’s right.
Excited.
The heart wasn’t completely fine.
It was clear that he still had feelings for Elena.
It seems that the feeling is not caused by just a curse.
“Okay then, shall we hand over the handover first?”
Her father said to them with a smile.
“Oh, come to work! “Here.”
Elena tapped the seat next to her.
Did I keep thinking about what happened yesterday?
Every time we made eye contact with her, Elena smiled strangely.
Her face was blushing, and she smiled blearily again.
Hehe.”
Sylvia, who was silently looking at that scene, said something.
“Elena, I know this is good, but please focus on your work. What are you doing that you need to hand over quickly?”
Elena was startled by her words and stepped behind her.
“Ah.”
She belatedly wiggled her fingers.
“Sorry. Sister Sylvia.”
I just smiled because I liked the store manager and remembered that day.
You might like it a little bit, right?
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t angry.
Still, work is work.
This is a workplace, and if you reveal too much of your personal feelings, others may feel uncomfortable.
Elena proceeded with the handover to Dojin.
“Hey, store manager. Yesterday…”
Then, in a voice so low that Sylvia couldn’t hear.
“Elena!”
“Hi!”
Elena, startled by Sylvia’s shout, closed her mouth.
“Sylvia, don’t be like that. Because Elena is happy too.”
“Manager, no matter what… Shouldn’t I focus on work? “If this happens, I’ll be late getting off work.”
She didn’t look like herself.
Even though she was harsh with her guests, Sylvia was kinder to Elena than anyone else.
She said that to Elena.
Is something bad happening?
“Silvia, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
After checking on the downcast Elena and her last words, she put her mouth to her ear and comforted Elena in a low voice.
“You worked hard.”
“Ugh!”
“Don’t worry too much. “I didn’t say this because I didn’t like you, Sylvia or Elena.”
“I know…”
Elena’s voice is weak.
The fact that Sylvia screamed at her must have been quite a shock.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
“Now, Elena, let’s get ready to get off work…”
It was then.
Jinglang.
“Hello! “Your Majesty!”
Lila came in with little deer antlers on her head.
With the druid’s unique blue hair flowing.
“Eh?”
“… ?”
The two employees who saw Lila looked at me almost at the same time.
It was a look in their eyes demanding an answer from me.
The question would be why the druid came here.
I don’t know either.
I still have to learn from Dmitry.
“Lila? “Why did you come?”
“This is Lila, and I’m starting to work full-time starting today!”
“Was it today?”
“Yes! “Your Majesty told me to start working today.”
I had so much work to do that I forgot.
“That was today.”
“Yes, Mr. Dmitry said it was worth working as a full-time employee.”
“Is everything okay between you two?”
An awkward smile even before the question is finished.
It will not be easy to resolve conflicts between races.
“Anyway, let’s say hello first. This is Druid Lila, who will be working at the convenience store and the supply store on the 3rd floor while I am away. And here are our employees Elena and Sylvia.”
“Wait. Manager, what did you just say?”
“I am a fellow employee who will work with me from now on.”
“You’re going to the third floor?”
The direction of Elena’s anger seemed a little different.
“She will look after me when I am away. Usually I will watch, but Lila will do it when I am not there.”
“Why, why? Why can’t we, but druids?”
Why not?
How can I ask you to sell adult products?
They wouldn’t know because they couldn’t even get to the third floor.
You shouldn’t know.
“Ugh, I want to do it too! I can do it too! 3rd floor work!”
“No. “Absolutely not.”
“I-I-IK!”
Elena became jealous and glared at Lila.
“Mr. Staghorn! I will never lose. “Don’t get upset just because you’re the only one working on the 3rd floor.”
“Elena.”
“The manager is an idiot!”
Elena screamed, took off her vest, and quickly went up to her dorm.
“…”
“I guess my timing was a little bad.”
I felt sorry for Lila’s embarrassing laughter.
“Ha, please understand. “I think she was feeling left out because she couldn’t do her third floor job.”
“Ah… Why do you want to do that?”
“I want to help even a little bit more.”
Sylvia intervened.
She pointed at me with a sigh and continued her words.
“The store manager doesn’t know how women feel, so I’m so angry because I want to help him a little more. But when another woman said she was helping the store manager, she got jealous.”
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Why don’t you go comfort me? “I was upset because of the manager.”
“Okay. “I’ll go up.”
Sylvia pushed my back and sent me up to the second floor.
A room connected to the accommodation where Elena is staying.
I entered the hallway and knocked on the door with Elena’s doorplate on it.
Knock.
“Elena.”
“…”
“I know everything that’s inside. “Let’s talk.”
How long has it been?
The door opened, and Elena stuck her head out, her eyes red.
“Why did you come?”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding. “I came here to solve that.”
“What is this misunderstanding?”
“I thought Lila didn’t tell me why she was helping on the third floor.”
“…”
Elena narrowed her eyes and unlocked her locks.
“Please come in.”
I obediently entered her house.
***
“Sylvia… Sir, you like you too, right?”
“To? Yes? What is that…”
“What’s showing on your face? “It seems like he likes you.”
“No. Something like that.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, and I can’t like it. No, you shouldn’t like it.”
“Why? Aren’t humans creatures that confess when they like something?”
Lila, who is not human, would not understand.
The feelings of someone who can’t say they like him.
Sylvia bit her lip.
It hurt.
Not the bitten lip, but the heart.
“You don’t have to know.”
“Hmm, that’s strange. Humans are also difficult. “I don’t understand.”
Lila tilted her head and pursed her lips as she looked at Sylvia.
“Don’t worry about it, just hit it. That’s the advice I can give to my senior.”
“Thank you. “For saying that.”
I probably won’t be able to do it.
I feel so sorry for Elena.
‘Because I spoke too harshly earlier.’
He pushed Elena’s manager’s back to comfort her.
It was because she felt sorry for yelling at Elena during the handover process.
This is enough.
This is it.
Sylvia’s eyes looked sadder than ever as she looked up the stairs to her quarters.
