The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 27

What kind of nonsense is this?

I was so dumbfounded that my fighting spirit plummeted.

As I stood there dumbly with my mouth open, the Master continued his drivel.

“There needs to be some push and pull between lovers, but it’s not good to harm others.”

“Wait a minute. I think you’re misunderstanding something. Lovers? I don’t have anyone like that…”

Suddenly, someone flashed through my mind.

“I don’t have anyyyyone…”

Chesha’s words trailed off, becoming smaller and smaller.

“Don’t have anyone?”

At the intriguing question, Chesha held out a hand as if to say, ‘Wait a moment.’

Then, she touched her forehead with her other hand.

‘If the Master is serious enough to want to meet in person, and Hata is involved, that means….’

Chesha ran a hand roughly over her face and asked.

“Could it be that the guy who took Hata… is the Holy Knight who entered the underworld now?”

“Is Hata your dog? Yes, he is.”

I’m going crazy.

I was really going crazy and wanted to jump up and down.

There was only one Holy Knight who would take a dog.

‘Hylion…!’

Why is this crazy bastard taking someone else’s dog and causing a ruckus?

I really wanted to punch Hylion if he were in front of me.

‘What are you thinking?’

It’s not like he can’t tell right from wrong, so how could he cause such a huge accident?

His behavior of recklessly causing something that could escalate into an intercontinental issue was truly insane.

Just to bring me here.

“And, Sorceress.”

The Master leisurely spoke to Chesha, who was half out of her mind.

“Don’t lie to me. He’s not a Holy Knight, is he?”

The gentle admonishment was sharp.

Chesha, who had been distracted by Hylion, immediately hardened her face.

“I have no obligation to tell you the truth.”

The Master let out a low laugh.

The number of Inquisitors is thirteen.

Their personal information is unknown.

This is because they do not participate in external events and never show their faces for unnecessary matters.

In fact, it was natural not to know.

Seeing an Inquisitor meant that you had become their target.

Only the emperor of a nation could meet an Inquisitor and still live without any problems.

The underworld had never been involved with the Holy Empire before.

The Master also wouldn’t have bothered to dig into the identity of an Inquisitor while taking risks.

‘How did he get caught?’

Chesha raised her guard against the Master even further.

“Okay, let’s just say he’s a Holy Knight.”

The Master asked, as if he knew everything but was letting it slide.

“If he’s not your lover, then why is he doing this?”

I couldn’t say that we had no relationship at all.

Chesha briefly bit her lip, then slowly spoke.

“It’s just a bit complicated personally. Anyway, it’s my fault that this happened, so I’ll take care of it. As quietly as possible.”

“That’s a satisfactory answer.”

“What would you have done if it wasn’t satisfactory?”

“I would have tied you up nicely with a ribbon and handed you over to the Holy Knight to attempt negotiations.”

It felt like he had actually called me here with that intention, so it didn’t feel like a joke at all.

Chesha stared intently at the black cloth.

Imagining the existence beyond the cloth, she asked.

“Let me ask you one thing too. Why did you think we were lovers?”

Usually, when something like this happens, it’s common to assume that the Holy Knight crossed the line because he was so eager to catch the Sorceress.

But the Master was convinced from the start that it was a lovers’ quarrel.

“I’ve been hearing for a long time that a Holy Knight has been going in and out of the underworld.”

“Is that all?”

“Hmm, and…”

He chuckled, amused, and continued.

“He had your mark imprinted on a private area.”

Private, my foot!

He’s distorting the fact that it was imprinted on my collarbone!

Chesha suppressed her anger and asked again.

“You’re acting like you’ve peeked at the Holy Knight’s uniform?”

It was a question thrown out casually.

However, the Master immediately noticed the fishing hook trying to uncover his identity.

After a moment of silence, he took a long breath.

“Sorceress.”

The short call was the coldest of all the voices he had made so far.

“I tend to like you. I hope you survive for a long time and cause many interesting things in the underworld.”

“…….”

“So, don’t be curious about me.”

The words ‘Don’t get interested if you don’t want to die’ were truly elegant.

“Don’t order me around.”

“It’s not an order, it’s advice.”

“Yeah, right.”

Answering casually, Chesha tried to deduce his identity.

‘He seems to be an aristocrat.’

It was felt in the sophisticated word choice and rhetoric.

At least he was someone who had received a high level of education.

The elusive feeling kept bothering her.

But right now, finding Hata was urgent.

“Is the conversation over? I’m going to go find my dog.”

Chesha unilaterally ended the conversation.

“It was nice meeting you, and let’s not see each other again.”

Leaving the Master’s laughter behind, she left the room.

Zahan, who had been waiting in front, immediately approached.

“I will guide you out.”

“No. I don’t have time for that.”

It was already late at night.

I had to return home before dawn.

Chesha immediately gathered her strength on the spot.

Zahan showed a slightly surprised expression at the flowers and butterflies blooming everywhere.

Chesha moved immediately without saying goodbye to him.

To where Hylion was.

The place Chesha arrived at was a large, old warehouse.

The inside of the warehouse, where moonlight streamed through broken windows, was dark.

However, Chesha was able to find the person she was looking for right away.

Because he seemed to be surrounded by radiance alone.

The silver hair, containing the moonlight, shone softly.

The man in the pure white uniform was sitting on a chair, grooming his sword.

The sight of him receiving the moonlight and wiping the pure white blade of the Holy Sword with a dry cloth was surreal.

Hylion slowly raised his gaze.

The flashing blue eyes stared directly at Chesha.

“…….”

He didn’t say anything.

Chesha also didn’t bother to open her mouth rashly.

A subtle silence settled in the warehouse.

Chesha licked her dry lips because she was thirsty for no reason.

The blue gaze that had been meeting her eyes briefly went to Chesha’s lips and then fell.

Surprisingly, it was Hylion who spoke first.

“Sorceress.”

He lowered the Holy Sword and stood up from the chair.

Behind Hylion, white light emanated from the chains intertwined like a spider web.

The darkness of the warehouse receded, and Chesha discovered Hata, hanging limply in the center of the chains.

Dog ears had reappeared on his head.

The Holy Power purified the fairy’s power, so the ears and tail that Chesha had hidden reappeared.

“Hata!”

At the surprised call of his name, Hata flinched.

The head that had been drooping powerlessly was slowly lifted.

Hata’s eyes widened when he found Chesha.

“Liche, Lichesia-nim…!”

His heart grew impatient at the sight of him looking like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Hylion chuckled, as if he had noticed the impatient look.

“You crossed the line this time.”

She said, approaching him.

“Give me back my dog quickly. Before I really kill you.”

Hylion, who had been listening to Chesha’s words while standing still, strode forward.

He narrowed the distance that Chesha would have to walk two or three steps in just one step and stood right in front of her.

Chesha looked up, and Hylion looked down.

Gazes intertwined.

He stared at Chesha silently and suddenly said.

“Today… is a full moon.”

The moment the low whisper fell mixed with his breath, she was speechless.

It was because it was a sound she had never expected.

His appearance grooming his sword under the moonlight.

And his voice mentioning the full moon….

It reminded me of a moment in the past.

The day Hylion and I first met.

That night was also a night when the full moon rose.
