The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 39

The Baby Fairy is a Villain – Episode 39 (39/200)

I had suspected that the underworld and the Basilian family were somewhat connected.

But I never imagined they would be close enough for Jahan, the Master’s direct subordinate, to exchange friendly words.

Even though the vixen Richessia had been in the underworld for years.

Jahan and the Master were the only ones she had met only once during that time.

That was because Jahan rarely took direct action.

Jahan only moved when the Master gave an order.

Or when something important enough to reach the Master’s ears happened.

Chesha had also met Jahan because of the major incident when Hylon revealed himself as a Holy Knight and invaded the underworld.

But to send Jahan for such a minor skirmish.

And to have this kind of conversation…….

Chesha was speechless, feeling like her common sense was collapsing.

“If you two had come alone, it might have been different, but you have company. You won’t get away with this easily this time,”

Jahan declared dryly.

Karha and Ishuel groaned simultaneously.

“Did we get caught?”

“We must have…….”

While the two were groaning, Jahan’s gaze turned to Chesha.

She couldn’t see his expression properly because his eyes were covered with cloth.

But why?

Chesha felt that he was very favorably inclined towards her.

His attitude was so different from when she had encountered Jahan as Richessia that it felt unfamiliar and awkward.

Could it be that they were identical twins, and Jahan’s other brother had come?

She even briefly entertained such an absurd thought.

She didn’t know what was going on yet.

But if she could foster the goodwill he had towards her, he would be a valuable asset in many ways.

While pondering under Jahan’s gaze, she decided to greet him first.

“Ahnyonghaseyo……?”

The moment she offered a small greeting.

The grumbling twins shut their mouths and stared blankly, while Jahan slightly parted his lips.

After a moment of silence.

The twins rushed in and started yelling.

“Eek, the baby greeted us!”

“Don’t go around greeting strange people, little brother!”

She had only said ‘Hello,’ but they nagged her with about ten words.

It was deafening.

‘They were just having a good conversation until now!’

They were only making a fuss with Chesha.

Chesha flapped her little hands, trying to calm them down.

“Hadi-man, jjeogi jakku bonikka…….”

“Don’t look! Don’t look at our baby!!”

“Next time, don’t just cover your eyes, cover your whole face!”

The two were making such a fuss.

To be honest, it was a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, Jahan didn’t pay attention to the twins’ reaction.

He ignored the twins and came closer to Chesha.

Ishuel, who was holding Chesha, looked annoyed, but he didn’t care.

“It is an honor to greet you.”

Jahan raised his hand to his chest and bowed lightly.

“My name is Jahan.”

Since he told her his name, Chesha, being a polite baby, also told him her name.

“Jjesyaeyo! Jjesya Basilian.”

The twins both turned their lips down at the corners.

They didn’t want Chesha to talk to Jahan.

And surprisingly, Jahan, who had shown a subtle liking, didn’t try to have a long conversation with Chesha either.

“I am glad to have met you. But I hope we don’t meet again next time.”

Isn’t it normal to say let’s meet again in this kind of atmosphere?

Is he from the underworld, so his way of thinking is unique?

Chesha tilted her head.

“Jje-ga siroyo [Do you not like me]?”

“No.”

Jahan immediately denied and added quietly.

“Because seeing me is never a good thing. Today will be the first and last time I greet you.”

It was not a long word.

But the deep-rooted emotion within it was deeply felt.

It was self-loathing.

She didn’t try to peek, but she was embarrassed by the moment she peeked.

Chesha couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

‘I didn’t know he was this kind of person.’

She thought he was an insensitive guy because he acted like his emotions were castrated.

She felt a little sorry for him for some reason.

Chesha kindly said to him.

“Geuraedu jjeoneun dasi bomyeon joeul geo gata-yo [But I think it would be nice to see you again]! Daeum-e-do insahae jju-sae-yo [Please greet me next time too].”

“…….”

Jahan was silent.

He opened his lips as if to say something for a moment, but soon closed them.

And immediately stepped back.

“Please return home now.”

Jahan disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared.

Only the twins and Chesha were left on the dusty streets.

***

The whip is usually smooth on the surface, but it becomes as sharp as a hook when Jahan wants it to.

When needed, it becomes an excellent killing weapon that digs into and tears off the opponent’s flesh.

“Heuaaak, spare me, aak!”

Jahan indifferently chased after the slave hunters who were running away, dripping blood.

Each time he swung his whip, the hunters lost the arms and legs they were running with.

His actions, which rendered dozens of men unable to fight or escape, were indifferent.

There was also no hesitation in the act of tearing the opponent’s flesh and seeing blood.

Anyone could see that it was an overwhelming scene of the strong driving the weak.

However, Jahan felt that he was not as focused as usual.

It was because his head was complicated with 잡생각 [jap-saenggak, idle thoughts].

He had been hearing stories about it for a long time.

The baby newly adopted into the Basilian family.

An alien being with pink eyes alone in that place full of only red eyes.

A small flower blooming in the Black Serpent’s Forest.

He had a little curiosity and secretly wanted to see it once.

He thought he would never meet the being who had to live only in the shadows.

Thanks to the twins’ immature behavior, he got to see her face.

That alone was pleasant enough.

“Ahnyonghaseyo……?”

The greeting he received, moving his lips and offering a small greeting.

He never thought he would receive a greeting full of goodwill.

“Geuraedu jjeoneun dasi bomyeon joeul geo gata-yo!”

The smiling face was harmless and tender like a sprout sprouting in spring.

The little baby made of pureness gave only goodwill.

“Daeum-e-do insahae jju-sae-yo.”

How long has it been since someone asked me to see them again?

It seemed to be the first time since the incident that happened twenty years ago when I had to cover my eyes.

She was still a young baby who didn’t know anything.

Even though he knew it was just a random sound, Jahan’s heart kept pounding.

The emotion he felt after a very long time was joy.

In the underworld, he was a symbol of ill omen.

He was considered a being of misfortune, bad luck, and ominousness.

It was already a terrible thing that he inevitably met a precious young lady.

He shouldn’t meet her again.

He shouldn’t wish for such a thing.

But even though he knew it, Jahan unknowingly drew a reunion in his head.

Because people who smile at me are precious…….

He couldn’t help but think that he wanted to see her again just once.

“…….”

Jahan sheathed his whip.

Today, the slave hunters who attacked the Basilian family’s twin 도련님 [doryeonnim, young masters] and baby were all writhing on the floor in pieces.

As he slowly caught his breath, he heard footsteps walking leisurely.

The man walking on the blood-soaked road was wearing a perfect suit that didn’t suit the back alley.

He was humming a messed-up 자장가 [jajangga, lullaby] while holding a cane in one hand.

It was a song he sang arbitrarily and happily, even though the rhythm and pitch were not right.

“Master.”

Jahan called him quietly.

The man who approached him chuckled and asked.

“Isn’t she cute?”

There was no need to ask who he was referring to.

Jahan recalled the pink-eyed baby with apple-like pretty cheeks and replied.

“Yes.”

At the answer that fell without hesitation, he burst into laughter.

After laughing happily for a while, the man slowly looked around.

“They were just ordinary slave hunters. I was expecting something, but oh well.”

At the man’s grumbling that there was no need to interrogate them, Jahan knelt on one knee.

His pants were soaked with blood, but he bowed his head without concern.

“I’m sorry.”

“Oh, it wasn’t a reprimand.”

The man gently stroked Jahan’s head.

Jahan lowered his eyes at his touch.

The man smiled faintly at the sight of him showing perfect obedience.

“I’ll take care of the rest.”

He snapped his fingers together.

Tak, a cheerful finger snap spread through the alley.

And after a moment of silence.

Red blood spurted out like a fountain from all directions.

The gray-brown wall was instantly soaked in dark red.

The man, who had taken dozens of lives at once, stared at the cruel sight with indifferent eyes.

Jahan slowly got up.

The man brushed back his slightly disheveled hair and asked leisurely.

“What about the vixen?”

“I have not been able to track her whereabouts since then.”

“Hmm…. She’s not a woman who would stay still like that.”

The man tapped the cane in his hand with his finger and pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Find out what she’s doing somewhere.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Since the esteemed Inquisitor is coming to meet the fairy in person…….”

He said with a happy smile on the blood-soaked road.

“I’m sure there will be a use for her soon.”
