Chapter 267
Episode 267
Apparently, Adela’s words that she can only fall asleep when she hugs something warm seem to be true.
‘No, if it’s cold… Raise the room temperature.’
Is there any reason why we should be embarrassingly stuck together on this wide bed with our bodies touching each other?
What made it even more incomprehensible was Adela’s gaze, staring at her rather than closing her eyes or trying to sleep.
“…Have you got anything on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?”
chewing gum.
Adela blinked and shook her head at Kim Eun-ah’s words.
“just. It’s the first time I’ve seen it up close, so it’s amazing.”
It’s amazing to see people’s faces.
I don’t know what it means, but maybe it’s an insult? Kim Eun-ah narrowed her eyes with a disgusted expression. Adela brushed Kim Eun-ah’s hair.
“It’s not even dyed, but the color is so different. Is it hereditary?”
Nod.
“Uh, yes, but…”
Kim Eun-ah, her cheeks flushed, replied shyly, and Adela ran her long fingers down her cheeks.
“Your skin is also very nice. Are you under separate supervision?”
“It was like that when I was at my house, but for me, it’s as simple as…a pack?”
Even at such an embarrassing moment, she was weak in praise. To fall asleep in the same bed with an opponent who fought to eliminate each other.
But even though Kim Eun-ah thought that Adela was strange, she didn’t hate it.
‘…this guy. You don’t even care how much your body touches.’
Shin Yoo-seong lived in the mountains for 12 years, so you can understand it, but what the hell is this guy?
‘Come to think of it…’
Despite claiming to be a rival throughout her first year, Kim Eun-ah knew nothing about Adela.
As Kim Eun-ah’s thoughts deepened and her expression hardened, Adela removed her hand and asked with a worried face.
“Are you uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, I will drop you.”
“no. doesn’t care. But… can I ask just one question?”
Adela nodded, saying it didn’t matter, but Kim Eun-ah thought about it for a long time and then shook her head.
“Oh no…”
Adela seemed curious about Kim Eun-ah’s reaction. Why is he suddenly showing such a passive appearance when he is usually loud beyond being confident?
“Are you really okay? Wasn’t there something you were curious about?”
In the end, when Adela persisted in questioning, Kim Eun-ah cleared her throat and asked.
“No, it’s just… Yoosung and you were together for a long time before. What happened at that time…”
Kim Eun-ah tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, but the next word was added with nervousness.
“The two of you… seem to have become very close…”
Adela pondered over Kim Eun-ah’s words. Shin Yoo-seong visited Italy. The Sardonyx Raid that followed. However, what Eunah Kim was talking about was an incident that happened even later.
“Perhaps… they seem to be talking about Ruin Castle.”
But even when asked to tell the story of Ruin Castle, he couldn’t pinpoint it. It would take a lot of talking to explain it.
“…Ruin Castle? I think you’ve heard of it.”
Perhaps the place where Kim Eun-ah read the name of Lu In-seong must be in a textbook. The Second Coming of Lewis, the Witch of Winter, was quite a famous event.
However, most people knew that the hunter who attacked Lewis was Aden, but they did not know who the hunter who was damaged by Lewis was.
“Witch of Winter. This is the place Lewis attacked.”
Adela was not what she used to be. Now that my feelings toward my parents have become clear. Adela sat up on the bed as if a little distressed.
“What are you doing?”
Let’s get up together as if embarrassed by Adela’s weak appearance that Kim Eun-ah shows for the first time. Adela shook her head, saying she was fine.
“The reason I went to Ruin Castle in the first place… was to get a refrigerant for Velvet.”
But after going there, Adela could understand why Aden chose Ruin Castle.
“…Where is your family?”
Adela looked at Kim Eun-ah and gave her a smile that I couldn’t quite understand. It was the first time Kim Eun-ah had ever seen a smile of unpredictable emotion, neither happy nor sad.
“Uh, maybe… Oppa is… at home, right? Mom will be in Japan right now…”
But Kim Eun-ah was able to figure it out only after seeing Adela, who simply smiled calmly at that answer.
“My family was there.”
The emotions contained in Adela’s smile are longing and sadness.
“…Lu Ruin Castle? sorry! I didn’t mean to ask something like this…”
Ruin Castle is the place where the Witch of Winter was. What more explanation do you need? Adela shook her head when Kim Eun-ah couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“It is already in the past.”
How can you talk about such a big incident with an expressionless face?
However, just because it looked fine on the outside, it didn’t mean that the speed was fine. I thought that I was insensitive to everything around me because I was so proud, but maybe my feelings were worn out?
“And now I have Velvet.”
It was only then that Kim Eun-ah understood Adela’s affection for Velvet. To Adela, Velvet wasn’t ‘precious like family’, it was family itself.
“Meeting Velvet… a lot has changed.”
The driving force behind Adela becoming a Hunter was simple. At least during heart-pounding battles, you can see what it is like to be alive. So fight against stronger opponents.
That level of determination was the goal and reason.
“I want to protect the world from numerous threats.”
But what’s different now?
“…For Velvet?”
Let’s carefully tell Kim Eun-ah the only correct answer. Adela nodded.
“yes. Because this is the world that Velvet will live in.”
Swoop-
Adela made eye contact and approached me, clutching the bed.
container.
“Ugh…”
Kim Eun-ah, who stepped back, naturally fell onto the bed.
But Adela didn’t care about such trifles. She just looked down at Kim Eun-ah expressionlessly with beautiful red eyes that seemed to be bewitched.
“Have you ever experienced a cold that made your whole body freeze?”
White hair that hangs down. orange lighting. Kim Eun-ah, who held her breath in the strangely suffocating atmosphere, shook her head while clutching at the bedspread instead of answering.
“The unbearable cold breaks all willpower.”
Adela, whose eyes were colder than ever, gently pressed Kim Eun-ah’s hand holding the bed sheet.
“It makes me want to give up everything. But…”
Kwak-
Adela grabbed Kim Eun-ah’s hand so tightly that she couldn’t move a single finger.
“You know what’s worse than that?”
Adela’s voice became smaller, as if whispering.
“It is… loneliness.”
Adela was well aware of the loneliness of being left alone.
Left alone in the room, eating canned food, lying alone in bed, hugging a teddy bear. I spent countless nights, but my parents didn’t come back.
“I want to protect this world for Velvet. More than that, I don’t want to leave Velvet alone.”
The goal Adela is talking about is the altruistic feeling of saving the world. It wasn’t a big dream.
but.
so that.
Kim Eun-ah became more understanding.
Watching the whole scene, it was obvious what action Shin Yoo-seong would have taken towards Adela.
He must have sincerely comforted the wounded Adela and conveyed his warmth.
That’s why he fell in love with Shin Yoo-seong. Kim Eun-ah knew how upright Shin Yoo-seong was.
“Then… what about Yooseong?”
What kind of feelings would Adela feel for Shin Yoo-seong?
Kim Eun-ah was ashamed to ask such a question without even losing face. Finally, it felt as if even the thin walls that protected my pride had all collapsed.
“What is Yoosung to you?”
However, when Kim Eun-ah couldn’t stand it and asked a question, Adela shook her head with an ah-ah. It seemed that she had found a clear answer.
“Velvet was born with me and that person’s mana as nourishment. I am Velvet’s mother…. Of course she is…”
As Adela tried to continue talking as if it were natural, Kim Eun-ah interrupted urgently.
“Wait a minute! What’s so important about sharing some mana! They said they would raise Velvet together! Velvet calls me mom too!”
When Kim Eun-ah stood up with strength, Adela meekly fell backwards.
blink. blink.
Adela’s transparent, red eyes flickered at Kim Eun-ah.
“But… that doesn’t change the fact that Velvet’s father is him.”
Velvet’s mother is herself.
Dad is Shin Yoo-seong.
Seeing Adela tell the story so naturally, Kim Eun-ah couldn’t help but be angry.
“That so! What are you saying you’re going to start a family with Yoosung!?”
However, it was Adela who nodded her head with a face that seemed so natural that really made Kim Eun-ah angry.
“Velvet needs a father for a good family.”
Will you have Shin Yoo-seong to set up a home for Velvet?
Eun-ah Kim was taken aback by Adela’s words, which were so unscrupulous by her standards.
But it wasn’t that the image Adela said was not drawn.
[Kyahang~ Adela’s mother! congratulation for the wedding! Wedding fire-breathing-!]
Adela in a wedding dress and Shin Yoo-seong in a suit. And Velvet, who plays jokes in front of him.
It’s something strange, but Kim Eun-ah shook her head at the appearance of the three of them who matched well just by imagining it.
He looked down at Adela with a determined face and said.
“I… I like Yoosung.”
