CH 76
━━━━???━━━━
Larva’s headquarters.
There was a slight tension inside the headquarters, which was neatly cleaned up for the first time in a long time.
It was because..
Yesternight, their master who was going to confess the truth to Miss Annette did not return.
“..If he hasn’t come back yet, maybe he’s been dumped?”
“Surely Miss Annette didn’t look at the Master with ‘that look’.”
“‘That look’? What kind of eyes are those?!”
“Why? The facial expressions and eyes that women make when they see us! Just looking at those eyes makes me lose my nerve.”
The one-eyed man who was listening quietly said,
“Women, at least, don’t show those expressions and eyes to Master.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s what a ‘beautiful man’ means.”
One-eye calmly showed a mirror to one of the ferocious-looking men.
“Ugh!?!”
The man who had cleaned the floor 19 times two days ago, looked in the mirror and was startled.
And after a few seconds.
He rubbed his chest and sighed in relief.
“..I thought it was a criminal. Fortunately, it wasn’t.”
“.....”
“.....”
The members of Larva nodded their heads. Their one-eyed comrade’s words were now fully understood.
Just then, the door opened and the head of Larva, Kyle, appeared.
Everyone looked at their master with attention.
There were a lot of things they wanted to ask, but everyone seemed to hesitate.
Kyle brushed off his collar and buried himself deep into the sofa.
“.....”
It was really burdensome.
Kyle felt like 30 owls with eyes the size of a single giant owl were staring at him (only the one-eyed man gave half the burden).
Kyle clenched his lips, then made a brief announcement.
“I proposed to her.”
At the same time, cheers erupted to the extent that the headquarters shook.
“Woahhhhh, ah!”
“Wow! Really?! Master!”
Some of the members hugged each other and wiped their tears with expressions of, ‘It’s done, that’s it!’
The master that was like a mugwort, who bought new chocolates and flowers every day for six months, even made a ‘proposal’.
“I confessed all the truth of the past and asked for forgiveness. She also..”
Kyle blushed at the thought of Annette.
“She forgave me like an angel.”
A member of Larva, the one who had wiped the floor 19 times and was surprised by looking in the mirror earlier, blinked his eyes and thought.
‘Are you saying that once you’ve been forgiven, you charged into the proposal right away?’
―Is that so?
He asked, expressing himself.
“Master, didn’t Miss Annette look like this?”
In the face of a scornful expression and eyes, Kyle said as if he did not speak the same language.
“Not at all.”
—That’s it.
Wounded by how unfair the world was, the guy who wiped the floor 19 times (hereinafter, #19) slumped down into a seat... He sank weakly.
Then, the one-eyed man who was listening to them asked,
“How was Miss Annette’s reaction?”
“Well. Anyway, I was just asking for a chance. It will be up to me to win her heart in the future.”
One-eye made an ‘oh’ expression.
“I thought she needed time to accept it.”
—It was a pretty good decision.
“Good job. I’m sure you’ll succeed in winning Miss Annette’s heart! Unless there is a ‘blocker’.”
One-eye thought.
Kyle confessed his feelings from the bottom of his heart, and he was truly a wonderful and handsome man, so if nothing went wrong, Miss Annette would fall in love with him.
A giant who was eating cookies piped up.
“What disturber? If they show up, you can kill them all.”
Well, that was right.
Everyone seemed to agree with that opinion.
It was then. A little squirrel arrived at the headquarters.
As soon as Kyle checked the letter, his pupils shook slightly.
“..She sent me a letter.”
“What?!”
“Wow! Our Master is getting married!!”
Kyle wiped his lips and gave orders to his subordinates, who were more excited about it.
“Everyone, calm down. It’s just a letter.”
―Still, Kyle was red up to the nape of his neck.
He couldn’t believe she sent him a letter.
When he tried to open the letter, his hands were shaking because it was so precious.
At that time, one of the members of Larva had the courage to take the letter and read it out for him, and Kyle thought it would be better to hand it over (everyone seemed to be dying of curiosity anyway).
It was #19 that took the letter.
“Dear Kyle.”
He imagined a girl’s sensibility and read it out with ease.
“Did you get home safely last night? I went in well.”
“....!”
“....!”
The other members of Larva immediately drove out the ‘Annette imitation’ with violence, and handed over the letter to the chubby man instead.
He read it clearly, showing his golden teeth.
“I wrote to ask you a favor.”
It was ‘Loud Annette’, but it was worth listening to.
“Please withdraw the members of Larva around <Little Bakery>. It’s hard to feel as comfortable as before, knowing that my surroundings are guarded. Please.”
It was very calming. It wasn’t the ‘pounding’ they were expecting.
Kyle, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“Do exactly what she asks.”
“Yes, Master.”
After all, in the past 10 years, Gerard’s tracking team had never even approached the area around <Little Bakery>.
They could not even live on the island of Bayonaire.
Due to several layers of elaborate guards to Bayonaire, they were mostly found dead on the continent.
Therefore he thought it was safe to withdraw.
Besides, on this island, there was also himself. If he had been far away, he wouldn’t have been able to grant her request.
“What, is that all?”
#19 asked with a slightly disappointed expression. It was the same with other members.
Chubby scratched his bearded chin, and went, “Ah!”
“There’s one more line at the end.”
“What? What!”
“Talk, tell us right away.”
At that moment, when all the members were concentrating, Chubby shouted out resolutely.
“Then, bye!”
Boom.
“.....”
“.....”
This bastard was a very crazy punk.
Just when the people of Larva were about to begin their violence again, the one-eyed man who flipped to the back of the letter said,
“Wait, stop! There really is something else behind it.”
Murmur, murmur.?Everyone bowed their heads like meerkats and gathered at the back of the letter.
The twist was on the back page.
“....!”
“....!”
The eyes of all in Larva widened as they read the contents.
━━━━???━━━━
My fingertips were burnt. The tip of my tongue was dry.
I couldn’t say anything as I saw Sislin, who had appeared for the first time in 10 years.
‘Why are you here, Sislin?’
I immediately remembered the article I had seen earlier.
The article said that he destroyed the Fris Empire in order to find me.
Suddenly, like a thunderbolt, I realized.
‘The happy ending is ruined.’
The original ‘obsessive maniac’ grew up just like the original, but changed the subject of his obsession.
―To a girl who parted from him about 10 years ago.
“....!”
Sensing the danger, I took a step backwards, slapping his hand that was on my waist.
He looked down at his hand, which had been sharply removed by the girl, and then gazed intently at the retreating figure.
Thud-ak—
The party cake, which I had made in my spare time, fell onto the floor; I pushed it by accident.
It was a farewell cake.
A cake made to celebrate a happy ending and to send the main characters away.
“.....”
Sislin staggered and quickly caught up with those steps that faltered and slowed down like a cornered little rabbit.
His shoes stood by her little ankle, kicking the farewell cake mercilessly.
His red eyes looked down at her.
It was the eyes that were exhausted; I was unable to comprehend what was inside.
“Annette is still small.”
He drew closer to my face, squeezing the table that had blocked my escape with his muscles and arms as strong as iron.
“Not me.”
It was a low, gentle voice. He was smirking.
I thought;
‘Is this the real Sislin?’
It was so unfamiliar. Because the look of the Sislin I remembered wasn’t like that.
I still only remembered how young he was.
The man, huge like that of a beast that suddenly popped out was simply unfamiliar.
—Hence, I didn’t even say a word.
“Annette, remember?”
“.....”
Sislin’s drew closer to my shoulders and leaned his forehead against mine.
“When you left me.. What expression was I making?”
“....!”
In an instant, memories of the past poured in my head and mixed with the present.
“You two there. Where are you going, sneaking around like a mouse in the middle of the night?”
Sislin, who trembled with a blanket over him like a ghost.
“Normal children are born with love. But sometimes there are children who are just ‘feces’ of sexual desire.”
“Just like you.”
Abusive language that two of us had to endure together.
But in the end, at the last moment when I left Sislin behind—
“Annette—!”
“Sislin, stop, go back! Please, please!!!”
What a sad expression the boy had.
“Annette..”
I remembered everything.
The unfamiliar man in front of me was finally registered as the ‘Sislin’ that I cherished.
I gently wrapped my arms around his shoulders in regret.
And called him out loud for the first time inba while.
“..Sisl.”
Like before, affectionately and tenderly.
Then, Sislin, who grew up to be as big as a beast, raised his head.
Red eyes flashed.
“You can’t go anywhere anymore.”
The man, who had dug into the girl’s guilt, casually grabbed and hugged her. As if swallowing her whole.
“....!!!”
Then he ‘stole’ her away.
Ame:?SISLIN IS BACK!!!!
And I can just see it now — Kyle and the men of Larva going to the bakery for the party, only to find it deserted and the cake destroyed! Then they’ll chase after Sislin, and, DRAMAAAAA!
Tassie:?Ahhhhhh the Larva members have me cackling hahahahah they are always so hilarious!!! And ahhhhhh my bby sislllll well not really small anymore lol. This is gonna be a shitshow XD
