Chapter 23 – Dating?
23.
Sophia, hello. This is called Aria, who will help you from today.
*
Carl smiled and let Arya into Sophia’s room. Arya looked at her wryly and she said what Carl had told her to do.
“Hello, nice to meet you. It’s called Aria. I look forward to.”
Sophia was still struggling with the pain of her broken heart. Sophia said, ‘Even when Carl was rejected by me, I must have felt this kind of pain—’ She was in the middle of melancholy contemplation at the thought, so her smile remained a little awkward.
“What do you mean, helper? Carl?”
“Hmm. That is.”
Sophia’s pupils trembled slightly. Carl scratched his head as if in trouble, then smiled and said, “I can’t stay by your side forever, can I? Sophia. I have work to do.” It was obvious and understandable, but the timing was bad. Sophia felt a weight on her heart. She just felt like she had become a cumbersome object.
“Why, don’t you like it?”
Dory dory. Sophia shook her head at Carl’s question. She didn’t want to be seen as selfish. Because she had always preached to the public that she should live a life that was considerate of others, she could not stand the situation in which she was not considerate of others. “No. Carl will be busy too.”
But I couldn’t help but wonder if Carl was bothered taking care of me. The thought of being a burden to Carl without even realizing it made me feel the pain. I was ashamed. Come to think of it, it seemed like he had done something bad to Carl.
Things like washing the body or scrubbing the floor are things that even lovers don’t do. Of course, I don’t know if there’s a fetish for that, but it’s usually not common. Carl must have been very embarrassed when Sophia asked him to wipe it, but it was so self-centered that it was hard to say anything about it. He says he hates people who help him while asking for help.
In fact, it was too shameless to keep asking Carl for help. He might have to repeat the embarrassing things that happened before. In the end, Sofia came to terms with Carl’s decision.
Sophia smiled at Arya and said. “I wish you well in the future.”
The only thing that bothers me is that Carl’s twirling smile looks quite genuine,
Arya’s face is scarred.

“Who is that child? When I ask what he grew up doing or what he likes, he doesn’t answer.”
Sophia looked up at the knife and said. The wheelchair moved forward smoothly. Because she was in a wheelchair when she was kidnapped, she had some resistance to the wheelchair, but she was able to board without difficulty because it was a wheelchair pushed by Carl, not anyone else.
To be honest, Sophia has had several nightmares of her since that day. Each time she called Carl’s name and she woke up. Every time she wakes up on the cot beside her bed, Aria wakes up and she soothes Sophia. It didn’t take Sophia long to get acquainted with Arya. The presence of a companion comforted Sophia’s heart in many ways. Mainly Sofia spoke and Aria was the listener.
“Hmm. Talking to you would make things awkward.”
“As expected, the child has something, right? In fact, a little because Carl is taking him as a slave. Hmm.”
Sophia swallowed her words, but Carl could make out their meaning. “You mean that way?” She said it because it was Sophia who was more or less aware of Carl’s eccentricities with women. It was not uncommon for nobles to have sex slaves in their homes. Carl laughed at Sofia’s words.
“I didn’t know Sophia was interested in that.”
“It’s not like that!”
Carl had just returned from being away for the past few days. When he heard the story from Arya, he said that he had been called by the imperial family. As soon as Carl returns, he visits Sofia’s room, and he tells her to go out. Took. When he tilted his head back, he felt Carl’s tight abdomen. “Where are we going?” Sophia’s heart beats. More vigorously than usual.
“Sofia doesn’t have much of her clothes. And it’s a little hard to say this, but it’s clothes that don’t fit.”
“Ah. Are you okay. It was actually uncomfortable.”
“Huh. I think so, so I’m going to buy her some clothes.”
“Can I look forward to it? These are the clothes Carl bought for me.”
“However much.”
Carl dragged Sophia around the downtown area of the capital.
“It’s street food. I really wanted to try it when I was little.”
“Okay? Stop eating.”
Carl came with his skewer in both hands and handed one to Sofia. Then, holding the skewer with the elbows of his arms, Sophia, who had a teary face, laughed excitedly as if it was funny.
While sitting on a bench overlooking the street and feeding Sofia skewers, a knife partly buried in her mouth.
A knife wipes the sauce with a prepared tissue while looking at the sauce he has been buried in and saying, “Something’s on your mouth.”
Sophia let out a laugh of her happiness. Carl. What kind of Casanova is trying to seduce a woman he has already fallen in love with?
“I don’t know if I can be this happy.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just. I like knives.”
Sofia hated Carl Leben. Originally it was. He was someone I couldn’t like. Sophia didn’t like villains who raped women, killed children, and played games with people’s lives. Rather, if a person like a hero who is sincere, righteous, and lives with conviction is his ideal type, then his ideal type.
However, it was always Carl who came up with the next strategy when everyone was depressed due to the failure of the operation. It was a bit extreme, but it was very effective in killing demons. Lloyd grabbed Carl by the collar and made a major following Carl’s words on the subject when he said, “We are not monsters.”
When he was struggling with a giggling demon holding a child’s life hostage, it was the knife that easily killed them and saved people. While the hero could not turn a blind eye to the child because of his innate moral sense, the demons slaughtered dozens of additional humans, but when the sword that returned from work simply killed the demons, there were no more victims. Even though the head of the child the demon killed before dying was rolling on the floor.
If you think about it, it was absurd that a child’s life was more valuable than dozens of other dead people. ‘There is no life more valuable. A child is also one person.’ The words Carl left at the time are engraved in Sophia’s heart. Actually, Carl tried to weigh his life like a joke. Truly, he is a man who does not know how to keep his word.
Carl’s method has always brought solutions. Carl was criticized, but the case was steadily resolved. Sophia took pity on such a knife. That was her first interest.
And Carl has always saved his comrades. Even when he was kidnapped, poisoned, trapped, he always had a smile on his face and said, “Assholes, what are you going to do without me?” He said something like that and saved me.
When Sophia was poisoned by a succubus and couldn’t control her body, she said, “Hold me, so any man is fine,” She said, and she remembered what Carl had said as he slapped him on the cheek. “Calm down and say it again. I’ll hit you then.” It was rude and vulgar, but thanks to that, I was able to come to my senses.
I also remember when she fell ill because she used too much of her divine power. Her schedule was tight and she was forced to leave sick, which Carl had picked up at the time. “Don’t be stupid. Ignore those who don’t know.” At the time, she didn’t know why the words were so harsh. It was all she had thought of. Still, she felt then, for the first time, that Carl’s back was wide.
And the day of the final battle with the Demon King. When she didn’t help anyone, when everyone turned away from Sofia’s screams because she was preoccupied with killing the Demon King – only Kal. Carl Lebenman.
“How do you like this outfit?”
“I really like it. Knife.”
“Huh? Do you like this that much?”
“… Really.”
Sophia now knows that she likes Carl Leben.

“I wonder if it’s too expensive, Carl.”
Sophia’s cheeks were flushed red. The expression of the store owner who was paying for the clothes cooled. Sophia just wanted to look away from her because it felt like it meant that the act of love would come later. She looked pretty cute though she said what she said.
“The clothes will be custom made and sent to you with the same product.”
“Oh, and… “
As Carl whispered to the clothing store owner, Sophia recalled what had happened. There was a fitting room in her shop where she could try on the clothes she wanted, but Sophia said, ‘I want to try on that!’ And Sophia said, ‘I want to try on something like that!’ Will be.
Then she takes off her clothes and puts them on. Sophia is shy and says this and that. “Karl is out of here, I get embarrassed when I take off my clothes, do you want to see my underwear that way, or are you taking advantage of my inability to resist… ! Bad guy with a knife… I wondered if even the owner of the clothing store would have listened to what I said. It’s really nothing to be ashamed of.
“What did you say to the shop owner?”
“Not a big deal.”
Still, it was a satisfying day for Sophia. Her going out with Carl was like a date between her lovers, and she was slightly moved that even though she had become like this, she could have a normal relationship like other people.
And the fact that the person he was with was Carl.
“Sex Slavery” “Pecological Taste” “Selling” “For Peace”
With Carl, the threat of such people did not reach. It was fortunate. Because it was clear that Carl would protect himself no matter who came.
Sophia thought that her bruised heart seemed to heal a little.

“Huck, huck. Bitch Tighten up more. Bitch huh?”
“Ah, ah, ah, hick, uhh, uhhhhh! Live, live… Ugh-hik! Black! Whoops! Crane!”
That night.
Until I heard Carl and Aria’s moaning from the door.
