“Should I pour you some vodka instead of sparkling water?”
“What do you mean vodka? It’s cold tea. It’s expensive, so don’t ask for it.”
After Nick told such a blatant lie without blinking an eye, he gulped down the seemingly poisonous drink like a really cold tea.
Nick’s digression wasn’t just today.
Yesterday, while I was seeing Yus off, I came back from grocery shopping, and I was surprised to see smoke in the house. Nick, who was alone at home, had smoked passion flower.
Overdosing of passion flower, which has fine purifying power, causes mild paralysis and hallucinations. In order to taste the feeling, there were people who were not sentinels but deliberately burned passion flower and smoked it.
I can still vividly see the pitiful sight of Nick trying to open the window with his loose legs and rolling over.
And Nina and Nick fought all night long.
– Are you out of your mind? How can you do that with a kid at home?
– I didn’t expect her to return so early! As long as there’s good ventilation, there will be no problem.
– Oh, if it’s your wish to be paralyzed like that, let me. I’ll put a poison needle in your neck.
– Don’t talk like I’m the only trash. Sister goes out, so you can drink as much as you want, buy men to play with.
– What is it? You should at least go out and do it. Why do you proudly take drugs at home?
– You don’t know when the kid will come back, so what to do with that! They’ll be scared to be home alone!
They thought I wouldn’t know because they had a fight in the next room, but since it was a house in a slum with no soundproofing, I could hear everything.
I put a lot of cheese on the bread and handed it to Nick.
“Don’t drink it on an empty stomach like that.”
“Because it’s tea.”
“Yes, if you just drink tea, throw it away.”
“…… you, eat a lot. You only eat a smidge.”
Still, I knew that the brother-sister Nina and Nick cared about me a lot.
They cared for me simply because I was a child. This was pure goodwill, which is hard to expect in a slum.
There was no such thing as fearing the assassins. Because I used to run into people who were engaged in contract killings in the back alleys.
In my experience, most of them are quite fed up with killing people, so they usually keep quiet.
There are a lot of professional chefs who don’t even walk into their own kitchen at home. You can think of it like that.
They are really nice people, but I can’t stay in the slums forever. I’ll be out of here in a year or so.
“Yus, are you going now?”
“Yes, I should go home.”
“Shall I see you off to Nocturne Park?”
I managed to finish the meal with crunchy bread and hard cheese and was about to see Yus off, but the boy, who blushed at the slightest word as usual, hesitated and replied.
“No. It’s too late. I will go alone.”
“It wasn’t that late…… The sun sets early.”
“It is dark. The sun has set, and it is cold and dangerous.”
After thinking about it, I changed my mind to only see him off at the front door today. I liked to clean up the dishes as soon as they were done. It would be nice to send Yus off and finish washing dishes early.
“Okay, then bye.”
“Okay, good evening, Meg.”
For that simple reason, I ended up waving goodbye to the boy roughly.
After the Yus, I spent the evening as usual doing the dishes and cleaning. After arguing with Nick, who grumbled that he was going around hungry after feeding him to the fullest, I might have fallen asleep?
“Oh my God~ My Meg washed the dishes.”
When I woke up to a familiar voice, I was in the living room.
On Nick’s back, who was sleeping carelessly on the sofa, I barely opened my eyes and looked around.
The captivating purple eyes and a dangerously attractive beauty were cupping my cheeks with an inappropriate smile. The Black Hawk guild leader, Nina, has returned.
Nick scratched his head and said annoyedly.
“If you’re here, go and sleep quietly.”
“Look at what you’re saying to your sister. That’s really mean, right Meg? Didn’t you miss your Sister?”
As she kissed my cheeks and lips, the smell of alcohol wafted out.
“It’s so cold, why are you here without a blanket, what if you catch a cold?”
“I just… somehow…….”
“Did you eat?”
“Yes.”
“You shouldn’t catch a cold, Meg. Leave that bastard alone and go to our room and sleep, okay?”
“Yees.”
Nina gets more bubbly when she gets drunk. She has quite the tolerance for alcohonce
“Look at how well you answer. Very very…… huff, touching.”
“Are you crazy, why are you crying?”
Except for the occasional bottomless sniffles.
She was really over-emotional.
