Part 2, Chapter 128

I calmly turned my head.

Beyond my vision adapted to the pitch-black darkness, I could see Lu’s elegant facial features and sharp golden eyes scanning the kitchen.

His slowly blinking eyes soon settled in one spot as if nailed there. It was exactly where Spolia had been sitting.

“Lu.”

When I took his hand and turned to face forward again.

Spolia had already disappeared without a trace.

‘Where did he go?’

Lu slipped out of my hand and walked around the dining table, picking up the glass that sat forlornly among the spilled water, then slowly quenched his thirst.

Then he lifted me up and returned to the bedroom.

‘Did Spolia disappear as soon as Lu came out?’

It took quite some time to relax my body that had stiffened with tension. However, I had to stiffen up again because of Lu who slipped into the spot next to me without warning.

His right arm embraced my shoulder, and his left arm drew my body close and covered me. When I caught a whiff of Lu’s familiar yet strangely dizzying scent, my heart beat pleasantly.

Enough to completely forget the fact that Spolia had invaded this manor just minutes ago.

Has Lu now completely accepted my existence? That would be nice.

But my mind was still complicated.

What should I do about Spolia from now on?

Given this situation, I had to inform Lu about his approach and purpose (honestly, it was too strange and vague to even call it a purpose).

How.

With words?

It was the easiest method, but it felt uncomfortable since Spolia’s ears seemed to be everywhere. But I couldn’t just brush it off because it felt uncomfortable…

At that moment

Lu, who was lying with his arm around my shoulder, held out something he had pulled over with his remaining arm in front of me.

It was a notebook and pen.

“…”

When I carefully gripped the pen and looked at Lu, he was gazing at me with clear eyes without a hint of drowsiness.

He already knows.

He sensed Spolia.

‘…Right. I could also inform him by writing.’

As expected, a mage’s mind works differently. I began writing crooked letters in Lu’s notebook.

What Spolia wants, his danger, psycho logic, ignoring is the answer, reasons why there’s no need to understand a lunatic, expected future behavior, etc…

Fortunately, Lu’s reaction while reading was calm.

Though I was concerned that he had been smiling less and becoming more taciturn since losing his memory, at this moment I was greatly relieved that Lu maintained his composure well.

‘He doesn’t seem to have seizures lately either.’

It would be good if this was a sign that his physical and mental condition were gradually returning.

Was it because I had freely vented about that annoying guy?

Though the disappeared Spolia was concerning, I was able to close my eyes relatively peacefully because he hadn’t touched Lu yet.

Yes, not yet.

* * *

Let me say this once more.

I had definitely described and explained the disaster called ‘Spolia’ to Lu the night before, telling him that I had no ulterior motives toward him (except anger), and warning him that he might appear nearby occasionally, so even if he was an eyesore, to treat him like a cockroach in the house.

But who would have thought…

“Hello there, Daisy.”

Really, who would have thought.

That Spolia’s next move would be cohabitation at the estate.

I gripped Skuld’s ‘Favorite No. 4 Fountain Pen’ which boasted a characteristically sharp nib.

Skuld had given names with ‘favorite’ (most beloved) along with numbers to brands he had used for over 30 years, and this fountain pen was a brand item that ranked fourth on his favorite list due to its unparalleled writing feel.

How do I know this? It was thanks to Skuld’s ‘Land of Death Villa Development Journal’ that I discovered while meticulously cleaning my office drawers and bookshelves before beginning serious magical studies to achieve high concentration (I wasn’t procrastinating). For reference, favorite No. 1 is a handkerchief.

Anyway, whether it’s a handkerchief or whatever, what’s important now is the fact that this fountain pen is very sharp…

“Ah, it’s quite nice. Much more atmospheric than seeing it in a typhoon. So where’s the room I’ll be staying in? Your bedroom?”

And that sharpness would be more than sufficient for me to stab Spolia.

Right after finishing breakfast. At the time when I was about to devote myself to magical studies until Lu finished washing dishes.

Unable to contain my rising anger, I threw Skuld’s ‘Favorite No. 4 Fountain Pen’ at Spolia.

Spolia easily dodged the attack with just a tilt of his head and made a pitiful expression with eyes that said this was ridiculous.

“Why are you like this, my Daisy… You’re not trying to kick me out, are you? We intimately promised last night that I would show you my heart…”

Spolia’s indigo eyes suddenly glittered eerily like those of a snake.

“I’m sure… you haven’t forgotten.”

It was clear pressure.

‘Snake-like bastard.’

Can’t be helped.

“…Hah.”

At the sigh that was tantamount to permission, Spolia smiled pleasantly again with his eyes narrowed.

I closed the notebook I was about to read and showed my irritation.

“Even so, there’s no need to come into my house, is there?”

He stroked his chin with an expression and demeanor much more natural and relaxed than he had shown before.

“I thought about it a little. You… both your thinking and actions. Everything seems closer to mortals than to us. How could someone like you understand me…”

Spolia’s gaze as he whispered this was directed at Lu, not me.

But Lu didn’t even glance toward Spolia, and seeing this, Spolia smiled meaningfully before looking back at me.

“So I’ve made a new decision too. I’ll become human for a while. Because humans… only humans can understand humans.”

Bullshit. In the end, it means he’ll be a nuisance by freeloading in my house, right?

‘…No, actually this worked out well.’

Spolia watching me also means I can watch Spolia in return.

In my current situation with limited mobility, rather than worrying about what thoughts Spolia might fall into alone, what judgments he might make, and what actions he might take to devastate my surroundings… it was much better in many ways to endure his annoying behavior right in front of me.

Ultimately, the point is to buy time.

Until Lu’s and my power return… maintaining a peace that’s only somewhat concerning.

However, there was something else I was worried about.

“Lu, what should we do?”

Though I had told him to some extent last night… Lu probably didn’t know that Spolia would end up parasitizing here either.

Lu devoted himself to washing dishes as if he hadn’t heard my question.

Just in case, let me add that Lu, both then and now, preferred to move directly without using magic for minor household chores. Therefore, I also waited quietly until his chores were finished.

At some point when Spolia, leaning against the corridor, had been staring at Lu’s back with an inscrutable face for over 4 minutes.

Bang-

As soon as he finished washing dishes, Lu roughly kicked the door leading to the underground cellar and turned around to leave the kitchen.

I see.

‘Does he mean to give him the underground cellar as a room?’

Excellent judgment.

I pointed to the dark basement and said to Spolia.

“Go over there.”

To that, Spolia smiled shyly with a face that showed he wasn’t listening to my words at all.

“I should take a look around the 2nd floor. I wonder if there’s a room I like near our Daisy-.”

He went up the stairs on his own.

A sigh escaped me.
