Chapter 4.2:
“I’m sorry, I was careless! God, how could I do this? What should I do?”
“No, it’s because I was blanking out in front of the door! It’s my fault! I’m sorry, please forgive me!”
The maid was crying since she broke broke an expensive looking teapot and because even the carpet got stained with tea. I feel really sorry for her since it was partly my fault, and more than anything else, I’m afraid of how the final boss will react.
“It’s okay, both of you calm down.”
Serpence calmed us both with a friendly voice. As warm energy flowed from his hand that was holding mine, my heart became calm.
‘Is this divine power?’
I felt my body relaxing.
“It was just a simple accident. More importantly, Is there any injuries?”
When she and I stopped rambling, Serpence smiled at us as if relieved.
His eyes narrowed, and the corners curled softly. His long eyelashes fluttered like angel wings.
‘Oh, I really feel like all my sins are forgiven.’
The maid was also thinking the same thing as me, her eyes were a little out of focus. Seeing her relaxed expression, my mind became clearer on the contrary.
‘Ugh, I almost fell for it!’
Serpence looked at my hand and the maid’s hand. My hand, which did not even touch the fragments, as well as the maid, were unharmed. Although the kettle fell at the maid’s feet, she didn’t get hurt by any shards that might have bounced off, thanks to the fact that the maid’s dress was in the form of a long skirt that reached her ankles.
‘Even if we got hurt, would we be healed by the divine power that Serpence gave us?’
Even though he knew that clearly, he had to check thoroughly, like a performance to show that ‘I’m very worried about you.’
Serpence’s hand fell off only after making sure we weren’t wounded, and the maid, who regained her senses left to get the cleaning tools.
“But it’s a little disappointing.”
“Yeah?!”
What? Did I do something wrong, did I offend the final boss who slapped the back of the demon king?
‘Is the teapot that just broke a cherished item of Serpence’s? Or is it the carpet? What did I do wrong? Am I going to get hit by a wagon on my way to work tomorrow? Ah-! It’s only my second day after entering the world of the novel, it was a short life.’
Seeing my stunned look, Serpence put on a vague expression as if he was sorry.
Then, with his index and middle fingers, he touched my forehead, and gave me divine power again.
It felt like coming home after work, soaking in a warm tub, opening and then drinking a cold beer.
‘Of course, I haven’t gotten a job before since I was still a college student.’
I’m just implying it’s a very refreshing feeling. When it comes into direct contact with the head, the mental stabilization effect seems to be even better than before.
‘Did I overreact?’
Yeah, even if he’s the final boss, he wouldn’t kill people because of the kettle and carpet. He wouldn’t have fallen that far yet.
“Are you scared?”
I wanted to ask, ‘How did you know, are you psychic?’
Aside from the pity I have because of his childhood, I knew what he’s been up to when he joined the demonic forces.
As a result, many people died and suffered. I remember, far from feeling guilty while knowing all that, the image of him engulfed in madness can’t be forgotten.
Unless I change something, Serpence will face the same fate again, and the continent will be destroyed.
‘Will I die by Serpence’s hand before preventing that?’
“I won’t kill you.”
I breathed unconsciously. Did I say something out loud? I was very surprised, but somehow I didn’t feel scared.
‘Ah, divine power. He’s still infusing.’
Does divine power have the ability to read thoughts? I’ve never heard of such a thing. If there was such a convenient function, it should’ve been mentioned in [Master of the Holy Sword].
“Didn’t you just ask me to let you live?”
As I rolled my eyes and avoided his gaze, Serpence said that with a bitter smile.
It is a face that makes the viewer feel sad. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely condemn the person who made Serpence look like that as trash.
I’m glad the maid went out to get the cleaning tools, I almost made a name for myself as trash from the first day at work.
‘By the way, did I actually say that?’
I think I said it accidentally while mumbling earlier. No,maybe I didn’t. Well, more importantly.
“Are you really not going to kill me?”
“Why am I killing my aide?”
The words, ‘You already killed him.’ came up to my throat, but I held back.
“Do I look like a person who would do that?”
“It’s my mistake! I’m wrong, I’m trash. It’s trash that can’t even be recycled! I’m the best trash in this area!”
When Serpence with an angelic face lowered his head with a sad expression, I felt like I had become a really bad guy, so I declared myself as trash without realizing it. Serpence opened his eyes wide and looked at me as if startled by my declaration, and then he smiled. Looking at it, it’s a smile that makes your heart happy.
“No, Lord Rivelon. I still don’t know much about you, but I feel your a very pure and kind person. Your not trash, so don’t say such sad things.
“Yeah, I’m not trash. I’m a good person.”
It wasn’t about making soybeans with red beans, but I was drawn to the feeling that I had to answer yes even if I had to make red beans from soybeans.
At my words, Serpence took his hand off my forehead, sat down, and started laughing. It looked like the bright laugh of an innocent boy.
‘Was his character always like this?’
Come to think of it, the appearance of him mentioned in [Master of the Holy Sword] was only after the recollection of his abused childhood and his corruption after not being chosen by the Holy Sword.
‘Isn’t he less scary than I thought?’
There is a possibility that this is also a calculated act. I made up my mind to ignore it.
‘It would be too scary if this is an act!’
I shouldn’t let my guard down around him, but I was in a position that needed me to get along with him and learn about him. I can’t even eat porridge or rice because I’m afraid.
Tl note: It seems afraid to eat porridge or rice means in korean kinda sink or swim, meaning he’s in a tricky situation.
