Genius Warlock-Episode 383
383. cookie conversation (2)
Shoot aaaaaaa.
Oliver woke up and washed himself in the shower..
A stream of hot water poured down on Oliver's head, starting from his head, going down his neck, back, and chest, and flowing down to the floor along with foreign substances on Oliver's body..
Thanks to a good night's sleep, his head became more refreshed and clearer, and Oliver began to wash his body..
After taking a shower, Oliver went out, dried himself with a towel, applied moisturizer to his face and body, then put on a leather mask and looked in the mirror..
Standing in the mirror was not Oliver but Dave, Randa's fixer..
“hmm······.”
After checking the mirror and making sure there was no problem, Oliver changed his clothes and sprayed perfume on his body..
Because the ladies of the Angel House said that a true kingdom gentleman should wear perfume..
‘I am from Landa, not a kingdom gentleman.?’
‘Could you please give me a rough idea??’
Oliver, who returned to his usual Dave self after spraying all the perfume, opened the door and went out..
Outside, dozens of people were crouching in the corners of the living room and on the stairs..
Although the house was large, there were many people who were chosen to evacuate, so they had no choice but to live in a small space. As soon as they saw Oliver, they stood up and awkwardly bowed their waists and heads..
Their emotions included fear, awe, embarrassment and confusion..
He seemed quite embarrassed and confused when Oliver asked him not to kneel earlier..
‘hmm······. There's a lot to do.’
Oliver thought as he looked at the dozens of people bowing to him..
“Have you washed everything? master.”
Marie, who had been waiting for Oliver to come out, came forward..
“Yes, it's refreshing and nice..”
“I'm glad to hear that too..”
Seeing Marie bowing and answering politely, Oliver decided what to do first..
“number of animals.”
“Yes, master.”
“Is everyone eating well? I filled the refrigerator with food before I left, but isn't it running low??”
Before Oliver left for Weinham, he planned to evacuate people here if possible, so he prepared not only paper imbued with portal magic but also plenty of food..
Whether running or sheltering in place, people had to make a living..
We piled up a lot of vegetables, meat, bread, canned food, etc., but there were more people evacuated than expected so I was worried whether it would be enough..
Marie answered.
“Yes, everyone is filling their stomachs with gratitude for the river-like grace that the master has bestowed upon them. Moreover, Childs distributes food well, so no one is starving..”
“Ah, that's a relief. As requested... huh? This is Child.?”
Oliver tilted his head without speaking. Child... Why was the expression strange?.
“yes······. He said they were the master's great creatures and told us to call them that..”
“ah······.”
Oliver exclaimed, not knowing what to say. I never thought they would introduce themselves like that..
“Are we getting something wrong??”
“No, that's not it... Do you know where Child is? First and third.”
“The two of you are eating now.”
“Meal...?”
“yes.”
***
Shuhaa━!
Shuhaa━!
What Marie said was true.
Child-First and Third were eating in an empty room inside Oliver's mansion..
With the vitality and emotions of the chosen people whom Oliver evacuated..
“This······. It's unexpected..”
Oliver entered the room and looked at the scene before his eyes and said:.
First and Third, who entered the corpse doll - Bathory and Sheamus, had people kneeling and opened their mouths to suck out their emotions and life force little by little..
Little by little, just enough to not be fatal..
They seemed quite satisfied as they ate with a smile on their faces, but when they made eye contact with Oliver who entered the room, they looked startled..
“······uh?”
“De, Dave······?”
Oliver glanced back at the First and Third people, kneeling and obediently offering their life force and emotions..
Looking again, it wasn't that fatal..
Emotions can recover on their own, and vitality can also recover if you eat well and rest well..
Even so, what can I say... It was a bit like that.
“······.”
Oliver looked around in silence, asked for understanding from the people in the room, then went inside and hurriedly approached First and Third..
People turned to the side as if they were possessed by Oliver's strange atmosphere, and First and Third stepped back, using each other as shields..
Yes, I couldn't go far because the room was small..
Oliver suddenly approached them. He tilts his head to one side.
While everyone was silent due to unknown pressure, Oliver quietly opened his mouth..
“first, third.”
“Yes······.”
“Uh oh······.”
“Are you two very hungry??”
First and Third nodded. Stiff, like a child being scolded by his parents.
“I am······. Didn’t you prepare something to eat??”
That was true. Before going to Weinham, we left with plenty of emotions, vitality, and magic for the children..
Because I didn't know how long it would take.
However, the work was completed much faster than expected, and thanks to this, Child had no shortage of emotions and vitality magic. Even if you overeat.
“But why did you take away their emotions and vitality??”
Oliver asked in a calm, non-nervous voice, and First and Third held each other tightly..
“That...freshly picked crab...is delicious?”
First spoke courageously.
In fact, although the First and Third had the emotions and vitality that Oliver had prepared, the reason they ate people's emotions and vitality was because the freshly picked ones were much more delicious and nutritious..
As an analogy, the difference between canned meat and fresh meat..
I just couldn't bear it..
In addition, the feelings that people here had for Oliver were a perfect fit for Childs' tastes..
“So I ate it... gradually······.”
First spoke while looking at Oliver's expression, and Third, who joined Sheamus, quickly nodded..
Oliver tilted his head in the opposite direction and looked at First and Third in silence..
It was a bit bizarre and not threatening, but everyone in the room held their breath and watched Oliver..
It's like watching a time bomb that doesn't know when it will explode.
After a long moment of silence, Oliver slowly took Perts and Third's hands..
Burial Doll - Bathory and Sheamus' hands.
Even though it was a slow movement, First and Third stayed still without resisting, and Oliver, who was holding hands, put his hands together in that state..
“First, third... By any chance, do you two want freedom??”
“······?”
“Do you want to leave me and live freely??”
First and Third quickly shook their heads..
“I'm not angry or have any ulterior motives, so you can be honest. Honestly.”
First and Third looked at each other and just shook their heads, just like before..
“Oh, no... no..”
“huh······. no.”
“okay······. Well then, would you please do me a favor??”
Oliver held their hands and gave them some strength. It wasn't painful, but the first and third seemed uncomfortable..
“Except when you're working, please don't recklessly take other people's emotions, vitality, and magical power. Even when you work, please ask me questions. Is it possible?”
Both First and Third quickly nodded to Oliver's polite request..
“Yes······. I get it.”
“understanding······. understood.”
After hearing the answer, Oliver nodded, satisfied..
“Thank you. Thank you for understanding... do you have anything to say?”
Oliver asked, looking at one of the people kneeling in the room. He seemed to have something to say..
“Well... we're fine..”
Oliver got down on one knee and was at eye level with the people..
“What does it mean to be okay??”
“A, emotions and vitality... We gave it because we wanted to. For Child, God's great creation, we will do whatever we can.-”
Oliver shook his head, gently placing his hand on his shoulder as he spoke. Even though it was an ordinary gesture, it seemed very gentle and compassionate..
“it's not okay.”
“······yes?”
“It's not okay. Treating your body like that? also······.”
“······.”
“I am not a god or anything. Child is not Child, just Child..”
“I like Child.······.”
First muttered softly, and Third nodded in agreement..
Although Oliver kept his mouth shut when he took one look..
Oliver turned his gaze again and looked at the people who gave their life force and emotions to Child..
“everyone······. Respect your body. Because it's your body..”
The people were speechless, and Oliver stood up and asked the First a question..
“How much food is left at home??”
After hearing the question, First thought for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“There isn't much... There are a lot of people······.”
“Good for you······. number of animals.”
“Yes, master.”
“Could you please go shopping with me??”
“It's a chapter?”
“yes.”
***
As requested, Marie went to the market with Oliver to shop..
I bought vegetables, fruits, bread, meat, etc. considering the number of people, and since the number of people was the number of people, I ordered so much that the store owner's mouth dropped..
The store owner checked to see if he had really ordered that much, and Oliver showed him the money and answered yes..
When he showed clear cash more than anything else, the store owners rolled up their sleeves and personally prepared and handed over the items Oliver had mentioned. Even adding a bonus..
“The meat I ordered arrived here..”
The butcher said as he brought a load of packaged meat into the three-legged cart he uses in his shop..
He was overjoyed by the unexpected large order..
“All the meat was fresh, and there were a few extras added as well..”
Sincerity. Oliver thanked the butcher and paid the money right away..
The owner, who received a thick bundle of bills, was happy, counted the money, and made an offer..
“Thank you, I am thankful... How do you plan on carrying that thing? I don't think two people can carry it all, but if you want, please give me the address. I'll have my kids deliver it to you..”
Same suggestions as the vegetable and bread shop owners in front of you..
Oliver thanked them for their kindness but politely declined..
“Thank you for your words, but it's okay. I can take it with me.”
Oliver answered and opened the bag on his back. Then he put the meat one by one like the bread shop and vegetable shop in front..
“Hoo······. It's a magic bag.?”
Oliver nodded to the surprised butcher's question..
“yes.”
“Oh dear. Looking at the number of orders, I thought it wasn't an average customer, but it turned out to be more than that. Are you really working at the Magic Tower??”
“I don't know about that either. I had to ask too..”
“Ah, he was a wizard who came to the Magic Tower to get a job! I hope you have good news. If I stay here, I will come again. I will wrap you with my best meat.,”
“Thank you for your words.”
Oliver left after chatting casually with the butcher shop owner..
When they left the store and entered the street, Oliver said to Marie:.
“Thank you for joining us.”
“Oh, no. master······. It would have been okay if you had ordered us to do the grocery shopping, but I'm sorry..”
“no. I just came out because I wanted to go grocery shopping. It's fun. Shopping itself is... Also, you shouldn't leave the house yet..”
“yes?”
“That's because if you want to move around Landa freely, you must first ask permission from the city... Plus, I have something to say to Marie. That's why I came to buy groceries myself, so you don't have to feel sorry..”
Marie didn't answer but was thinking deeply about something..
“master······. Are you planning on leaving again??”
Marie asked with all kinds of anxious emotions in her eyes. After all, it was very similar to the situation before Oliver left..
The crisis that came out, the stability that came, and the settlement... Ironically, the more stable Marie became, the more fearful she became..
Just like in the past, it seemed like his master, God, would leave..
Oliver stopped and turned his head at that question..
“Do you like sweet things??”
“yes?”
“Do you like sweet things? Things like cookies, cakes, and ice cream..”
Marie was lost in her answer to the sudden question..
“ah······. Yes, I like it. master.”
“Well, shall we go eat now? I want to eat cookies right now too..”
