Chapter 441 – 441. God’s Invitation (1)
Eun-hyeon and Eleanor, who didn’t show up until the banquet was over, hid on a balcony in a remote place and made love, and returned home as soon as night fell.
The place where Eunhyeon and Eleanor ended up spending the night was Illyana’s house, which was still in Pernin.
“Eww…”
Perhaps it was after their intense love affair, Eleanor still felt her back aching.
Eun-hyeon came to Illyana’s house, which is now empty, carrying Eleanor on her back, who was drenched in fatigue and unable to control her body due to the aftereffects.
The house had been empty for a long time and had no valuables, but it was clean as if it was obvious that a company was regularly called in to do simple cleaning.
She immediately undid her dress and went into the bathroom to wash Eleanor.
They hugged each other in her naked state and did more, but Eleanor did not feel ashamed of this.
Rather, she even felt good about Eun-hyeon’s consideration for washing her own body with moderate strength.
After wiping the water from Eleanor’s whole body with a towel and drying her hair, she picked her up and laid her on the bed.
“Thank you.”
Eleanor, who was delighted to receive her great care, smiled and thanked her.
“Good night.”
Eunhyun covered her body with a blanket and kissed Eleanor’s forehead with a smile.
It was just a childish expression of affection that Erin liked, but the kiss that warmly melted her tired and weary heart wasn’t too bad for Eleanor.
“How about you?”
“I have a little work to do. I’ll go to bed right after I’m done.”
“Yes.”
Eleanor did not question Eunhyun’s words.
Rather, her eyes are closed as she has no mental strength left to question her.
Eleanor, who fell asleep immediately, left her room and closed the door.
“…”
As soon as he was alone, Eun-hyeon immediately hardened his expression.
Starting with her unhesitating look at her kitchen, her empty room, her laboratory used by Illyana in the past, and the bedroom used by her and herself, Eun-hyeon moves to find something about her. Was very quick.
[Ah?]
Just in time, Belldandi, who came down to the underworld, asked her with a puzzled look on her face as she watched Eunhyeon’s actions.
“…”
However, Eunhyeon could not answer Belldandi’s question.
It’s not that I haven’t heard
Verdandi’s question, which is connected to the soul and directly communicates with Eun-hyeon’s consciousness, obviously did not reach Eun-hyeon’s consciousness.
It wasn’t intentionally ignored.
Belldandi knew best that he was not that kind of person.
It’s just that Eunhyeon had so many complicated thoughts in her head that she couldn’t afford to answer Belldandy’s question.
‘… That’s strange.’
Belldandy grew more and more suspicious of Eunhyun’s expression and behavior.
There had never been a single moment where he couldn’t answer Belldandi’s question even in his heart.
It was the very recent two years out of the long 400 years that he came down to the underworld and communicated with Eunhyeon, but considering that, Eunhyeon’s current expression was strange.
[Hey.]
“…”
[Oh!]
Belldandi restrained Eunhyeon’s actions by hugging her back tightly.
“Ah.”
Eunhyun, who came to her senses belatedly, only then became aware of the existence of Belldandi, who was holding her body tightly.
“Berdandy?”
[What are you thinking so hard about?]
“…”
Eunhyun stiffened her expression again and did not answer.
I was lost in thought to clear up this confusion that filled my head and explain it in words.
Eventually, Eunhyun opened her mouth.
“It is possible that someone broke into this house.”
[In this house? But this house…]
“Yes. It’s Illyana’s house.”
Eunhyun looked around the living room inside the house while being held in Belldandi’s arms.
There weren’t that many things left in this house because I took all the important magic books and luggage with me when I moved.
Eun-hyeon felt a subtle sense of incongruity in this house, which had nothing but furniture, bedding, and simple tableware.
Since Eun-hyeon was in charge of all the basic cleaning and maintenance of the house, she was able to detect the subtle sense of incongruity.
The position of tableware is reversed, the position of furniture is subtly distorted, etc.
It wasn’t just a few odd things.
Therefore, Eun-hyeon hardened his face.
“Now this house is empty, but the semi-permanent barrier Illyana installed is still in place.”
Even a company that regularly comes to clean the house must have a special artifact crafted by Illyana to pass through the barrier to enter and exit the house.
The person who broke into this house with such barriers could not have been an ordinary thief.
[But the child thinks that is not the only thing.]
Belldandi saw right through Eunhyun’s expression as she was thinking about this very seriously.
Eun-hyeon obediently nodded her head at the point of the goddess who had been with her closest for a short but not insignificant amount of time.
“Yes… What I don’t understand anymore… It is the intent of the intruder that is felt in these traces.”
[Intention?]
“I didn’t come in to steal valuables or set a trap.”
The feeling that Eunhyeon got from searching every corner of the house was a bit different.
In the traces left by the intruder who broke into Illyana’s house, there was a sense of life created over a long time.
“Someone… I was living here.”
[…]
There were traces of trash piled up on the floor for a long time and then removed.
It also meant that the intruder who had sneaked into this house was some kind of powerful person who could break into Illyana’s barrier without being noticed.
“Who is it?”
The first thing that came to mind was that she was a high-ranking magician similar to Illyana.
For a moment, he thought of Simon, who leads the Magus Court Magus Order, which currently belongs to the kingdom of Pernias, but this was too absurd.
Why is it that an old man who has his own house still lives secretly hiding in this house because he regrets it?
In this regard, there was insufficient evidence to identify other high-ranking wizards as suspects.
All of them made a name for themselves as foreign countries, wizards’ towers, and adventurers, and established their own positions in their own ways.
It was difficult to see that he was concocting any scheme by hiding in Illyana’s house.
Soon, Eun-hyeon synthesized the lack of information and identified clues about the suspect.
‘While possessing skills comparable to Illyana, she is a reclusive magician whose name is unknown… Even in poverty to the point of having to hide in someone else’s house?’
Weird.
The back and forth didn’t match.
It was an unrealistic assumption, but the lack of information made it impossible to specify more facts.
[I don’t understand one thing.]
“Yes? What?”
[Isn’t that dangerous? Why did you think of staying overnight here with the priest’s child?]
“It was confirmed that there were only traces left in this house, and no tricks were done. At least I decided there was no risk.”
As soon as Eleanor fell asleep, the house was sifted through and inspected through detection, confirming that no physical or magical traps had been set.
When Eunhyeon confirmed that fact, she frowned because she didn’t like it.
“…”
It made me feel even worse that I had really invaded this place and just lived a life of eating and sleeping, with no reason to be seen.
“Furthermore…”
Eunhyeon glanced at the bedroom where Eleanor was sleeping and continued.
“Because Eleanor looked a little tired.”
[… Not worth it.]
In response to Belldandi’s nodding as if she understood what she meant, Eunhyun turned her head and looked up at Belldandy’s face, who was holding her tightly.
“… Have you seen everything?”
[I saw it.]
“…”
For a moment, Eun-hyeon lost her words and put on a blank expression.
Belldandy sighed lightly as she glanced at Eun-hyeon, who looked like her son who was caught playing an immature prank.
[The child is really low-quality. How could you push the priest child like that?]
At the sudden nagging of the goddess, Eunhyeon smiled bitterly, unable to refute.
Certainly, Eun-hyeon was aware that as she formed a relationship with Eleanor, the desires in her heart swelled and became increasingly difficult to control.
[But the face of the priest’s child, who happily accepted all of her child’s desires, was really… And she seems to like it.]
“… I see.”
Eunhyun and Eleanor, who accurately understood each other’s desires and mixed their bodies, were a couple that really matched well.
[It was like that when I coveted my body… How on earth did you endure for 400 years?]
How he had been able to endure that long time by suppressing it deeply in his heart, Belldandi gave him a look of dread.
“I think it might have exploded more strongly because I’ve been holding back and suppressing it.”
It’s not like she hasn’t met a single special woman in 400 years.
Elysiana, Illyana’s ancestor who taught her jewel amplification, Silvia, who lived with her in the elven forest, and Illyana, who had feelings for her before she died.
Eun-hyun was reluctant to develop a special relationship with a certain woman.
It is because she judged that someday she might become her own weakness, and she would become a stumbling block.
So she is grateful to Belldandy and the other two sister goddesses for allowing her to live as she is now and freeing her from the restraints of her soul.
She hugged her four wives, who gave her special feelings, and decided to go before her while leading her many people, because of Verdandi’s permission.
[… If you say that, you have no face.]
Belldandy put on an apologetic expression again and hugged Eunhyeon’s upper body tightly.
“Are you okay. Mr. Belldandy. Because I am very faithful now.”
[… Okay.]
“And… Like Mr. Belldandy said, this is the first time I haven’t been so restrained.”
The beginning was to faithfully repay the wishes of her wives, Iliana and Eleanor, by simply being honest with herself.
However, the more he formed a relationship with the two wives, the more the level and intensity increased, and her wives responded to it and mixed their bodies with Eun-hyeon more actively.
No matter what they do, they happily accept it and actively participate in it, so they can’t control it.
“It’s like a racehorse running endlessly because there is no finish line.”
After reading that she was satisfied with her current life despite a wry smile, Belldandy gently stroked Eunhyeon’s hair.
[If the child is happy, that’s it.]
Soon after, Belldandy opened his mouth again.
[I came down to the lower world this time because I wanted to ask a child.]
“Are you asking me?”
[No… Rather than a request, it would be more accurate to ask the child’s opinion and wait for her decision.]
It sounded like he would listen to the story and give Eunhyeon the authority to accept any proposal from Belldandi.
[You can decline if you don’t like it.]
“… Let’s listen for now.”
Belldandy nodded at Eunhyun’s words and explained his business.
[There is a god who has expressed her intention to see the child once in the divine world.]
“… Me?”
At the unexpected story, Eun-hyeon opened his eyes wide and asked back.
Eunhyun’s mind, which was complicated by thoughts about the intruder who broke into Illyana’s house, was filled with the news from Verdandi.
[Shall we meet?]
