Countess Cianella’s Male Slave

105. Disbelief (2)

After reading the quest, I took some time to relax rather than immediately quit my luck.

Shione seems to know that her question is a difficult subject to answer hastily. I calmly waited for my answer.

I gladly accepted my master’s consideration and set my sights on the reward of the quest again.

Following Siabelle, Sione’s empowerment blooms. Next, I see a reward for Shion, but I’m also a person who doesn’t think very well of Shion, so I’ll pass it on….

I caught my eye on the last reward presented that managed to catch my attention.

‘The seed of power.’

Seeds of Power.

That’s not another strange power, it’s the power of annihilation.

I’ve never dealt with an ability that could be called an authority, so I don’t know too much about it. The concept of this seed has been vaguely heard from another person on Earth before.

This does not apply to those who are born with authority, but those who have acquired authority naturally have the same seed as above.

Whether the seeds can bloom or not depends on each individual’s ability, but-

‘If only I could make them bloom….’

The buds that have bloomed will grow and grow to produce beautiful results.

A powerful reward that is completely different from unlocking my original power little by little. Of course, I had no choice but to be attracted, and a deep greed could not help but bloom. To the extent that I want to get it somehow if I can.

Unfortunately, however, this quest did not go smoothly.

‘To improve the relationship between Shion and Shion.’

It is a level of content that is different from the development of the relationship with Siabelle that I received before.

Siabelle had taken an attitude of indifference to Shione until now, but Shion would argue with Shione whenever he had a chance. As much as Shion provoked Shion by bringing out all sorts of stories about her, she must have accumulated a lot of things for her as well.

Moreover, didn’t the two of them face another worst reunion just now?

Then, as expected, Shione is wishing for a brother and sister relationship that was close to her in the past. Is it really right to blow the wind of reconciliation?

If I was greedy for the reward of the quest, I forced Shione’s back to reconcile with him. She might fall endlessly into the deepening emotional trough and be covered with scars.

-Siabelle is fine, but… I really don’t know how to treat Shion.

My head hurt.

I used to be a monster hunter, and now I’m just her slave and servant. She’s not like her counselor to give her a satisfying plan.

Even so, I can’t keep my mouth shut like this forever.

In the end, I made up my mind and got lucky.

“Is it okay if I tell you what I mean?”

“Yes. You’re not the kind of person to talk nonsense.”

“If you do, won’t you swear that there will be no disadvantages in what you are about to say?”

“… Even an oath?”

“Let’s start with a finger stamp here.”

“Finger stamp?”

“Let me borrow your hand for a moment.”

Withdraws her hand and lifts it, locking it with her pinky finger and thumping the stamp with her thumb.

“Since I put my little finger on it and even stamped it, I made a promise.”

“Ugh, yes.”

Shione, taken aback by my sudden action, nodded in agreement.

I’ll get permission. All I have left now is to put my thoughts into words.

I continued without hesitation.

“I believe that a family shines only when it is affectionate and able to talk to each other harmoniously.”

“… ….”

“You said this to me once before. In the past, Shion followed Shion better than anyone else. If possible, I would like the two of us to be close again like back then.”

A dark shadow fell on Shione’s face.

With her pensive face in her eyes, I said in a steady voice.

“However, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to try to be friendly right now, and you don’t have to forgive or bow down. Shione-nim is the one who received the verbal abuse, not the other side. To be honest, I don’t really like her.”

“What…… ?”

“That’s true. I don’t like Zion very much. The other day, I shaved Shione down in the open garden, and today I even showed her demons to Shione in the hallway where I could see many servants.”

“… ….”

“Shione, would you be happy if I cursed at you?”

When I came out strong for no reason, Shione got caught up in my momentum and shook her head.

I sat in her chair across from her at Sione and looked at her.

“Sione, come here.”

“… What?”

“Quickly.”

“That… on your lap…… ?”

“I already hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and did everything I could.”

“… ….”

“Quickly.”

“Ugh… ….”

Shione sat down on my lap.

She just said she was stressing out and she was hugging me.

Is there any reason to be so embarrassed with only one back hug?

I said as I gently hugged her from behind.

“It’s not too late to become close like the old days after you’ve cleared out all the accumulated sediment.”

That’s right. Fortunately, there is no time limit for quests.

As long as the negative remnants of the target remain, reconciliation or forgiveness. Because nothing ever works out right.

It was when I was in elementary school. My little sister who always stole my share of snacks. While holding her by the hair, the moment they tried to reconcile their opinions with a fist fight and deepen their relationship. The memory of being forced into a reconciliation hug still remains as the worst experience ever.

Over the years, many negative emotions have accumulated and nothing has been resolved.

“If you make fun of me for not being talented, show off the bow you got from Ainel, and if you make fun of me for being incompetent, show me the sword you got from the royal family and laugh at me.”

“… ….”

“From now on, don’t just listen like an idiot… Sometimes it’s good to let go of your anger.”

Shione is no longer a person without talent.

She awakened and nurtured her talent that had been dormant in me and not in anyone else. She grew up quickly in a year following my teaching.

Impossible growth rate without talent.

She is a royal palace with my mouth. She wasn’t talking nonsense.

Now, the distance between incompetence and ruthless talkative talk has widened considerably.

Shion’s customary demeaning of her older sister will in fact be difficult to deal as much damage to Shion in the future as before.

Unlike in the past, Shione is free from self-deprecation. Now, his abusive remarks are not condescension to be accepted helplessly, but words that can be overcome.

“Whether it’s one year later or three years later. After releasing all the sediment. From then on, I will slowly treat Zion as a proud and dignified older sister who has nothing to bow down to. Well, if you do—”

I said while stroking Shione’s head, who was hugged by me without saying a word.

“Until the world is destroyed… Wouldn’t it be good enough to see?”

If you can’t clear the quest before then…….

Siabelle, who has blossomed in authority, and Ainel, who should have become a sword master by then, will protect it somehow.

After I finished my story, I caught my breath.

What the hell did I just say?

Words spat out in the stream of consciousness. After that, let’s keep our mouths shut and hug Shione like a big teddy bear.

“Yes… ….”

With Shione’s small murmur.

Laughter is heard, weak but with a cool corner somewhere.

“If Shion had listened, I would not have stayed still.”

“The things I said. Do you intend to speak to Zion?”

“No, not at all.”

“That’s it.”

From noble mtl dot com

About this much talk between us. Besides, I don’t even want to talk about it.

Watching Shione’s reaction like that, it seemed like my answer wasn’t as bad as I thought.

She was a little brighter than before.

“I feel like my thoughts have been sorted out.”

“If you don’t feel the need to get close to me like before, you’d better listen carefully to what I have to say.”

“… Yeah i know I’m glad you’re here.”

Her room, which had been filled with her heavy air, finds calm again around her.

At a time like this, I thought it would be better to ventilate the room with cool air.

“Please leave now.”

“Can’t we stay like this for a little while longer?”

“Suddenly, my legs are not getting enough blood, and I’m thinking of cleaning my room a bit.”

“Ummm… then… ….”

Shione wriggled on my lap.

Then, Shione turned her body sideways and looked at me at an angle.

She looked at me for a moment, hesitated, then moved in an instant.

She hugged her around my neck, and we held each other’s lips as they were ─

Kung!

… It was headbutting.

“Write… ….”

Oh… It really hurts.

She hit it so hard it made her head tingle.

After Sione hit her forehead. She shed a tear and soon finished kissing the bird on my lips.

Then she got away from me and got up from her seat.

I looked up at my master as I rubbed my painful forehead.

“Ha… ….”

Shione must have been very sick as well, the forehead that bumped into mine was stained red.

And her cheeks and ears are as red as her bumped forehead.

I asked as I looked at her shaking eyes.

“If you act recklessly like this, you will break your promise—”

“Because I didn’t put that, tongue, tongue… It’s not a kiss, it’s a kiss… !”

“No, at that time I just said the kiss itself—”

“Anyway, I didn’t break my promise… !”

Shione covered my mouth with both hands.

“… I’ll be sleeping to organize my thoughts, so call me when you’re done cleaning.”

I murmured just as Shione bit her hand.

“Do you think while you sleep?”

“Sir… !”

Slap.

Shione hit me on the back and ran into my bed.

“Write… ….”

… I’ll have to play around with the jokes in the future.

Sione. My hands are hotter than I thought.
