It was Felix who first tried to take me outside, but now I was leading the way.
When I glanced back, he was smiling like a fresh summer flower.
Oh, my eyes!
I rubbed the sore corners of my eyes as if a flash had hit me.
He was so handsome that I was dazzled by the halo around him. Until I saw Felix, I didn’t know that this comic expression was actually possible.
“Good job, Irene. Please continue to respond that way in the future.”
Felix patted my head gently as if to praise me. I was totally becoming accustomed to him patting me like this, wasn’t I?
Inadvertently, I was sucked into the golden atmosphere Felix emitted, and every nook and corner was being filled by Felix alone. I didn’t really hate it.
I was happy to hear the compliments.
‘To be honest, I regretted it as soon as I came out.’
I looked up at him and asked in an uncertain voice.
“Would it have been better to cooperate? At least we could’ve made a compromise.”
No matter how much he looked like nuclear waste, he should pass through the filters!
However, in this world ruled by a gangster, we must bow down first.
I guess the ride on the demon’s relic route was going to begin smoothly.
No, judging from Benjamin’s dubious attitude, it seemed he was already onboard and that it had already begun.
He never had any intentions to conciliate with me. It seemed that he had already made an extreme decision.
In the end, Felix will become the incarnation of desire devoured by the demon’s desire!
At that moment, his hand came down from my head and wrapped around my cheek,
“No, I’d rather become a devil than cooperate with that.”

I laid out several maps on the floor of the playroom.
The maps were large and existed in many types, so when I spread out all I had collected so far, there was no place to stand.
After searching here and there, I obtained some rare maps that were very difficult to obtain, but they were also challenging to recognize and understand.
I couldn’t help it because I needed maps of remote areas or places outside the continent where people couldn’t reach.
I was desperate for Google Maps. I arranged a map with a sigh. As I concentrated on my work, it started to get dim.
When I finally managed to pick a map with the help of a servant, Claudia and Felix appeared at the entrance of the playroom.
“Rin!”
Today, the sparkling siblings had both hands full of shopping bags.
I was told that I couldn’t see them at all today, but did they go out to the city together without telling me?
‘It’s rare.’
Felix, who had many secrets, occasionally went out without a word, but Claudia always told me everything.
Well, siblings could spend quality time together. No matter how well you were with me, there was bound to be an area that I couldn’t get close to.
Even though I thought so, I was a little sad about it. At that moment, Claudia ran to me and placed all the shopping bags in my arms.
“……What’s all this?”
I looked down at the shopping bags, which were difficult to hold in my arms, with a puzzled expression. They were all stamped with the seals of high-end stores.
In modern times, it was called luxury brands.
“Happy birthday!”
“Alas.”
It was my birthday today.
I didn’t know. Rather than my birthday, it was lrene Amber’s birthday.
And now that my life was full of ups and downs<sup>”
