Obey Me - chapter 140

Kyrie, who now knows that it’s the best compliment of the Nataniel style, laughed.

Although the interior decoration changed, the house was still cozy. Autumn harvests were hung here and there. Nataniel let go of Kyrie’s hand and clumped up, sat on the table chair, dangling his legs and put his hands on his knees. Then he smiled and tilted his head.

[Kyrie. Come, sit next to me]

‘Sly…..’

It was clear that he knew he was cute and pretty. Kyrie managed to take her eyes off him and settle down. Just in time, Bund made ginger tea.

“Welcome. I was worried that I shouldn’t have said anything, haha.”

“We stopped by because we felt bad to just pass by.”

Kyrie’s face heated up a little. She remembered the past when she cried without knowing the shame in front of the Bund. She even said that Nathaniel was dead, she didn’t lie, but somehow it seemed like she lied. Kyrie stammered and opened her mouth.

“I mean, I thought he was dead…….”

“Wasn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Kyrie was wary of Bund. What if he thinks it’s a joke? However, the Bund smiled broadly, wriggling his beard-rich cheeks.

“Good for you! If you can meet, it’s good to meet. Good for you!”

Kyrie smiled relieved at the friendly words.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“You’re welcome. Isn’t it good if anyone is happier?”

Bund smiled as if he was dying of cuteness when he saw Nathaniel holding a cup with both hands and blowing ginger tea.

“Mr. Nathaniel would have been happy to see Miss Rie again.”

Nathaniel smiled bashfully, holding the cup. He seemed to like the words very much.

[I’m always happy when I’m with Kyrie..]

“I was always the same when I had my wife. I wondered how there was such a person.”

[Yes. Kyrie is too pretty to call her human.]

(T/N: he is implying that she is an angel haha)

“That’s true. How does love make people shine like that?”

[It’s not love, she’s just pretty.]

“Stop it…….”

Kyrie touched her heated forehead.

[Yes. It’s too obvious to say.]

She did know why, but Nathaniel looked gloomy and began to focus on ginger tea again. Kyrie rolled her eyes. Even though he is The End from inside but the behavior is really like a boy at that age.

“Why do you look like that?”

Nathaniel shrugged but did not answer. Bund looked at the two people with warm eyes.

“Are you not wearing a ring?”

At Bund’s question, Kyrie and Nathaniel stopped at the same time. Nathaniel, who had been smiling and staring at ginger tea the whole time, also opened his eyes roundly. Kyrie also showed with her whole body that she had heard something unexpected, so Bund scratched his beard awkwardly.

“I guess I shouldn’t have said that. If you didn’t hold the ceremony for some reason, I think I can help you.….”

[…….]

After words came out, Nathaniel seemed to observe Kyrie’s reaction. Kyrie glanced at him and shrugged.

“I have nothing to do.”

“Is it because of the family?”

“That’s not it.”

Kyrie shook her head in denial

“Nathaniel said he wouldn’t marry me.”

Crash.

At the sudden sound, Kyrie turned her head. Nathaniel paused, missing the cup from his hand.

“Nathaniel! Are you okay?”

Kyrie hurriedly looked at Nathaniel’s knee, whose ginger tea spilled, but when she saw his blank face, it didn’t seem to be itchy, let alone hot. Kyrie was subtly relieved. That’s right. There’s no way that Nathaniel would get hurt in water that’s only hundred degrees Celsius.

Nathaniel suddenly opened his mouth after being hardened for a while.

[That’s what I’m saying.]

“You did.”

[I did]

To be exact, he said, “You die too soon.”

When Nathaniel saw Kyrie trying to wipe his knees with a cloth from Bund, he became annoyed for no reason and changed his appearance to an adult form.

He quickly became an adult without any signs of wetness and Bund saw him with admiring eyes. Kyrie opened her eyes wide, and he seemed to be grumpy again, so she wouldn’t deal with him, just turned her attention to Bund with the same face. Nathaniel felt a little unfair.

Yeah, I rejected her anyway. He was in denial. It was rejected.

[…….]

Kyrie was still busy paying attention to Bund.

I’m sure you won’t ask me one more time. There won’t be.

Nathaniel lowered his gaze and leaned his back against the backrest. Bund, who was worried that he shouldn’t have brought it up, coughed a little, and only then did Kyrie payed attention to him as if there was a red flag.

(T/N: Red flag- danger signs, she thought Nathaniel will go berserk)

“Nathaniel, don’t get too serious. You thought I would ask you to marry me? Anyway, you and I don’t have to be bound by ordinary people’s laws. I’m free and good enough now, so let’s not mind that.”

[It’s time to get tired of freedom]

“I’m not tired of it yet.”

He was speechless again. Since Bund finally made a face of understanding the situation and wiggled his thick fingers, Nathaniel rose from his seat with a shallow sigh.

[Have a conversation.]

Kyrie’s voice was heard quietly through the closing door.

“Did I say something wrong?”

“It’s not like that…….”

The door was closed. When Nathaniel stood in front of the closed door and turned his head, everyone passing by saw him and their mouths were wide open. When Nathaniel summoned his cane and stood, people began to go their way again with a foolish face as if possessed by a ghost.

From inside the door, Kyrie and Bund could be heard chatting.  It was nice to hear, but he didn’t know that the past would hold her/them back unexpectedly.

Nathaniel again came to understand humans a little more.  In the past, he wondered why he couldn’t put eternity on the tip of his tongue because of the subject that changes hundreds of times a day.  But if it was Kyrie, it was okay if she lied, as he hoped to promise an eternity.

If he did one hundred and twenty-two times for each type of pretentiousness that humans like, wouldn’t it still be because of his sense of responsibility even if he got tired of it?

Nathaniel laughed at himself thinking that way.  But he also knew that in the end he was going to make those hundred and twenty-two pretentious and ostentatious.

***

When Kyrie first came out after a conversation with Bund, Nathaniel was in the back of the house. Eve was next to him.

Kyrie was a little surprised to realize that Nathaniel was saying something to Eve. What does it mean, a human child and Nathaniel? She thought it would be the opposite of each other, but Nathaniel’s eyes looking down at Eve were surprisingly not strict. This does not mean that there was affection, for example, it was similar to when humans looked at small animals.

[Did you remember everything?]

“Yes…”

[If necessary, take it out.]

“Not now……?”

[Not yet.]

Eve nodded. It was a strange conversation. When she gently put my head out, she saw the ground dug in front of the two in the size of fists. Eve buried suspicious diamonds in it and covered it with soil.

“What are you two doing?”

When Kyrie pretended to show her presence, Eve put her finger in front of her lips and said, “Shh!” and hid behind Bund who followed.

“Dad!”

“Eve. You didn’t do anything rude, did you?”

“No! I showed my pretty brother the house…….”

“Eve, not pretty…….”

Bund looked at Nathaniel, but he didn’t really look at him. Nathaniel watched Kyrie look at Eve happily, and slowly reached out. He didn’t stop his fingers stretching out as if pointing at something, and Kyrie just watched. Nathaniel sighed a little out of unfamiliar defense.

[What do you know I’m going to do?]

“Oops.”

Bund reacted late, but soon smiled with a wrinkle on his nose.

“You’re not going to do anything bad.”

Kyrie also nodded her head.

Nathaniel looked down at the three naive people and moved his hands indifferently. The tip of his finger touched Eve’s forehead. Eve closed her eyes for a short time and opened them.

Nothing changed. Nathaniel shook his hand.

[You are not going to die of disease. You’re father will like this more than the wealth.]

Bund’s face gradually brightened up.

“Mr. Nataniel!”

[Let’s go back.]

“What? Oh, okay.”

Kyrie swallowed surprise and looked at the Bund.

“I should get going, Bund.”

“Yeah! I’ll tell people, so feel free to come and play! If possible, at an age when I can still serve you both tea.”

“…come back again!”

Kyrie greeted him with a wink and turned his back. Nathaniel reached out his arm for the escort, and Kyrie looked down at it and grabbed his hands. Nataniel paused for a moment and held Kyrie’s hand more firmly.

[You’re so smart.]

“You always surprise me. What did you do?”

[Literally avoiding diseases… It’s like a gaho.]

(T/N: I have no idea about the last word)

If she had to consider it, it is close to overpowering evil with a greater evil and preventing it from approaching, but it will look like protection to humans.

She didn’t say the same thing. She thought about something and said it seriously.

“If I do something for you, will you do it for others?”

[You’re looking at me like a bum. I’ll do it even if you don’t answer, so tell me later.]

“Are you allowed to do that to anyone?”

[I don’t care. I don’t think it’s going to be as good as Ciudad or FortDucane.]

“You know me so well.”

Kyrie smiled brightly.

“I guess you don’t hate kids as much as I thought”.

[Even in your eyes, kittens look cute. I’m not saying they are cute cute, but I don’t have to be wary]

“Kittens…….”
