The Priest of Corruption Chapter 220

intrusive.

intrusive.

Pearly.

I hate to admit it, but Dacia has been a little, very, very annoying to Pearly ever since. Yes, only she was particularly annoying.

Why?

Dacia has not yet been able to clearly find out why. Just vague annoyance. Being stabbed by that small, pointed awl-like emotion, I struggled to press that heart down every day to hide it.

From an early age, she knew very well how foolish it was to show all her emotions. There will be no people who love the naked and ugly human face.

In order to maintain a smooth and good human relationship, you had to know how to hide your bottom to some extent. At least Dacia thought so.

Moreover, in front of someone who wants to like you, definitely.

“Hiccup!”

Pearly with a mischievous expression. Marnak tells her what to do.

Dacia knew better than anyone else that no matter what Pearlie said, nothing worth worrying about would have happened between the two. Today he is accompanied by the mother of corruption he serves.

“Hiccup! Hiccup!”

But why did Priest Marnak, who said he was going to work alone today, sitting alone with Pearly like that…

Blind.

“Hehehe?! That cracked! Now, the glass is cracking! Dacia! That will break it! It really breaks!”

Jamel’s breathless scream. The muffled noise woke Dakia. She slowly lowered her eyes and looked at the cracked glass. Each of the cracked fragments contained a face looking at him.

With a look that doesn’t contain anything.

“I don’t know what to say…”

Giselle, who was sitting opposite, glanced in the direction of Marnac before opening her mouth cautiously.

“Dakia As you know, Marnak did not go ‘alone’ today. Whatever you heard, nothing would have happened anyway. Besides, as you know, Marnak doesn’t seem particularly interested in women…” ”

I said it before.”

Dacia lightly cut off her words and looked at Giselle.

“I want you to give an honorific title to Priest Marnak, even when you are with me. Please.”

It’s very soft, but it’s a word that draws a line.

Giselle didn’t bother to add a word.

‘Why do I need to try to appease him here? If it was his personality, he’d be relieved of his anger and laugh at me later if Marnak said a few words, rather than me asking and comforting him now.’

“Aren’t you two fighting…?”

Jamel gasped in the atmosphere where it was difficult to dare to say a word. Giselle smiled when she saw her friend whose true feelings were clearly visible on her face.

“Why are we fighting? I have no reason to fight.”

“that’s right. Don’t worry, we’re not fighting Jamel.”

Only then did Jamel’s face turn red.

“Is that so? Um… but now what? Are you going to continue chasing Priest Marnak?”

“That’s…”

Dacia shook her head at the sight of Pearly conversing with Marnak.

“Let’s go. Anyway…”

Because there was nothing he could do other than watch here anyway. Dakia was stabbed by her swaying heart, and pressed her heart firmly to the ground again.

“I think it’s a really, really good idea! I can’t even hear Priest Marnak’s voice anyway, so it would be much better if we went out to play by ourselves, if we’re just messing around here!”

Jamel was willing to do anything to escape the suffocating situation he encountered while chasing Marnak half as a joke. She laughed awkwardly and urged Gisele and Dacia to get up quietly from their seats and go get something to eat.

Looking at Jamel, Dacia realized that she had made a new mistake today. not as usual.

‘I’ll have to apologize to both of them separately later.’

Jamel tugged at the collars of Gisele and Dacia, who slowly rose from their seats, and added cautiously.

“We have to get out very carefully. The last time I went after the Mother of Corruption and Pearly? At that time, I realized how much like a ghost…”

“Is it a coincidence? It’s a very, very coincidence.”

“Heeep?!”

A low-pitched voice. Jamel let out a hiccup when he realized who the owner of the voice was.

Dacia reflexively rolled her eyes. The seat across from Marnak, who had been far away, was empty before he knew it. The owner of the seat stood in front of their table with his characteristic purple eyes sparkling.

With a very mean face.

Marnak, who was still seated, smiled softly as Dakia’s eyes met. As always.

Strangely, Dakia wasn’t happy with that smile today. Could it be because of the pearly in front of me? Or is it because he secretly chased and got caught? She herself did not know. Whether Dacia was worried or not, Pearly continued to speak with her own unique rhythm.

“Do you want to sit down and eat together? I ordered quite a lot to eat for just the two of us, so I wanted to pack the leftovers!”

“It’s me, I like it… eh?!”

Giselle’s finger pricked Jamel’s side as he was about to reply. Jamel stopped talking and looked at Giselle with questioning eyes. To that gaze, Giselle responded by pointing at Dacia with a gesture of her chin.

It was only then that Jamel realized that Pearly’s bright smile was not directed at him and Giselle. Naturally, the current question was also not theirs.

Dacia did not avoid Pearly’s eyes. She looked straight at the purple-haired woman and spoke clearly.

“no. are you okay. We were just about to get up from our seats.”

“Huh.”

short snort. Pearly smiled mischievously.

“Wouldn’t it be a nuisance to the restaurant to sit still without having to do anything and then get up? Besides, Marnak is there too?”

Dakia’s forehead twitched subtly at the word Marnak.

“I didn’t know you were a far-out person who would worry about a busy restaurant as a guest.”

“of course! of course! I’m not worried about that!”

Pearly grinned.

“I’m worried about you guys who didn’t even eat and sat gloomy and looked at me! worry! did it! Hi-Hi! After all, tailing is something people do, but isn’t it better to do it while eating?”

The golden eyes narrowed coldly.

“How long have you known?”

“of course! From the beginning!”

Pearly mischievously spread two fingers to her eyes and glanced around.

“You guys don’t know, but I tend to be chased quite often! So I’m very good at having someone come after me! very! Be sensitive! In addition, he notices really quickly that he is chasing after making a ‘sloppy’ appearance!”

‘It’s not crude…’ Jamel murmured softly, but her voice didn’t reach either Pearly or Dacia.

Dacia’s mouth opened slowly.

“Does everything seem like a joke to you?”

“No no. I’m just saying that it’s a caution to do whatever you’re going to do with a smile.”

Pearly playfully pulled the ends of her lips with both of her fingers, creating a fake smile.

“Hi-Hi. Listen, Marnak, whom you admire so much, is sitting there all alone waiting for our conversation to end. But are you really not going to be together?”

Dacia’s white forehead twitched once more. For some reason, Pearly’s mundane words were gnawing at her nerves.

Dacia let out a small sigh before replying.

“I said it before, but it was just as I was about to get up. Please tell Priest Marnak that I will see you in a little while. let’s go Gisele Jamel.”

“Oh yes yes!”

Dakia bowed her head slightly toward Marnak and walked out without hesitation toward the entrance of the store. Jamel groaned and quickly chased after him.

“ha.”

As the storm barely passed, Giselle let out a short sigh and spoke to Pearly, who was still smiling.

“I hope you don’t scratch Dacia too much. I thought you two were fighting.”

“Dachia? fight? no Absolutely not. You don’t know Dakia well yet! Dacia will never fight me here.”

After a short pause, Pearly’s eyes sparkled desperately. She playfully pointed behind her.

“That cowardly kid doesn’t have the courage to expose himself in front of Marnak! And…”

As Pearly took a step, the distance between Giselle and Pearly shortened. Pearly leaned over and whispered softly into Giselle’s ear.

“Originally, kids become friends while fighting.”

***

Maybe it’s because I’m standing in the restaurant too much and talking too much. As soon as Dacia walked out of the restaurant, she ran into a minor problem that she sometimes had.

“Hey girl? There are three of you and your party, and there are three of us, so why don’t we all play together?”

One of the men who naturally followed her from the restaurant spoke to her. Before Jamel could speak, Dakia quietly tapped the sword at her waist and said quietly.

“go.”

She always dealt with the method used in the Northern Kingdom. Usually in such cases, ordinary men naturally backed off as if they had just asked once, seeing the sword at her waist and her ready to go into battle at any time.

The man who spoke to her smiled as if she thought the bouncing Dakia was cute, and reached out without hesitation and grabbed Dakia’s wrist.

“no way. A pretty face is not worth it Don’t do that and play with us. We’re very quick around here, so we’ll have fun…”

Usual. Normally, Dacia would have made the rude man back by simply displaying a small spark with magic.

However, Dakia, who had been scratched up by Pearly, who had just been smiling, couldn’t stand it.

Pak!!!

Dacia’s right fist pierced the man’s chin precisely. With the first blow, the man completely lost his mind. Dacia did not stop there. She grabbed the man by the shoulder and patted him with her knee.

It felt like something was breaking through her lap.

“Oh no. Fuck!”

“hey!”

As soon as the two colleagues standing behind the man took stock of the situation, they drew small daggers from their waistbands. With a very familiar skill.

Seeing that series of actions, Dakia felt a strange sense of relief. She threw the fallen man at his party and kicked off the seat.

short murmur.

When her wind and the low thunder strike interlocked, the mana fluctuated slightly. As the magic manifested, a suitable stone rose in front of Dakia.

Perfect footrest.

She stepped on a stone she had created and jumped up. As she flew up, her body rotated in a graceful curve.

fast.

end of rotation. Dakia’s toe, full of power, kicked the second man’s jaw with precision. The distraught body rolled across the floor.

“Oh my god…”

The man who was left alone tried to deal with it, but he fell to the floor after being hit by the body of his colleague who had just flown in.

It was the scabbard that greeted him as he quickly settled down and stood up after clearing away his comrade’s body. The scabbard wielded by Dacia.

baek!

The scabbard struck the man’s temple without mercy. As the last man fell to the floor coolly, Dakia looked back with a strangely relieved expression.

She grinned at Giselle, who had just left the store.

“Why don’t we go somewhere and eat something delicious? I moved my body and I feel a little hungry.”

***

The night that Dacia came back from her outing.

On that starry night, someone knocked on the door of Dacia’s cabin.

“who are you…?”

There was no answer. Dakia got up from her seat, tidied up her messy appearance, and opened the door.

The door opened and a familiar face greeted Dacia.

Pearly, a woman who came to Dacia in the middle of the night, smirked with sparkling purple eyes.

“Wouldn’t you like to go for a walk together?”

Dacia answered without hesitation.

“no, I do not want.”

“As expected…”

Pearly’s smile deepened. She added softly, her purple eyes twinkling.

“You don’t like me?”
