Raising the Saint of the Evil God in the Novel

41 – Chapter 41

-Duck

“Ugh…”

I feel a pain in my butt as the wagon bounces due to the condition of the road that is not properly maintained.

“…Ethan, just leave it to Noctua, right?”

“…Be quiet. I will show you the greatness of man.”

The incident started a few minutes ago.

The carriage driven by Noctua was as comfortable as if it had stopped without any vibration, so Adela said a word.

‘Noctua is better than Ethan,’ she said.

And when he heard that, Ethan’s pride cracked…

This is the current situation.

-Duck

“Ugh…”

No matter how much she tried to bear it, the constant impact on her ass was unbearable.

I signaled to Noctua with a small gesture, and Noctua immediately pecked Ethan away and drove him away, then bit the whip himself.

“Ah! Ah!”

Ethan was chased into the luggage compartment with such a scream of pain.

Even while watching such a ridiculous appearance, anxiety and fear were seated in a corner of my heart.

It’s probably because he hasn’t said anything since before.

It was better to keep talking.

No matter how much I think about it, there’s no way I’ll stay still, but the current situation where I’m still is more frightening.

I can’t help it because I can’t predict what will happen.

And as anxiety builds up like that, it is inevitable that it will be expressed outside.

She was startled by the slightest provocation and kept fidgeting, so it was only natural that Adela would talk to her.

“…Kid. Are you scared? Would you like to go back now?”

“Oh no!”

But I can’t go back.

What I have already done, I will commit to the end.

.

.

.

It was already dark outside, and the carriage slowed down, probably because the horses were tired.

“Let’s spend the night here.”

When Adela said that, Noctua slowly pulled her carriage to a halt by the river.

Adela, of course, was the first to jump off her wagon without holding anything in her hands.

Ethan was looking at that with a somewhat resigned expression.

I felt sorry for him, so I decided to help unload the luggage.

After taking out the things for camping and the hay for the horse, she went outside, and a cool breeze wrapped around her body.

It is completely different from the air inside the steamy carriage.

Maybe it’s because of that river.

It was a place where you could feel a sense of openness as it was an open plain both here and across the river.

As she was getting ready for the camp, she noticed a problem.

There is not enough tents.

That’s natural.

Since I rode it secretly, it can’t be enough.

But it’s a problem that can be easily solved if I sleep in the wagon.

It may be a bit cold, but I’m not weak enough to catch a cold like this.

As I kept my mouth shut at that thought, before I knew it, Ethan started cooking.

It was the first time I had ever seen her cook and cut various vegetables and meat, so I watched her with bated breath without realizing it.

An additional problem that came up along the way.

‘Food is not enough!’

Yes, it was not only a matter of the tent that one person stood.

This means that everything from food to drink will become scarce.

Then, unfortunately, that delicious-looking dish won’t be in my stomach today.

Adela will hand me food, but what shame do I have to eat it?

The supplies have become scarce because of me.

As I grabbed my stomach and expressed regret, Ethan’s dish was completed before I knew it.

It was a soup made from a mixture of meat and vegetables.

And as expected, Adela handed me a bowl.

“Ah… It’s okay. I’m not very hungry…”

I endured it with superhuman patience, but it seems my stomach couldn’t stand it.

-Growl

Before I could finish my words, the sound echoed from the ship spread around.

It wasn’t very loud, but I’m sure everyone could hear it because it was so quiet.

As her face started to heat up with embarrassment, Adela smiled broadly and offered her food again.

“hahahaha! Are you okay. I’ve got twice as much food as I need, so you can eat it.”

I can’t believe it.

They must be lying to get me to eat.

Ethan added an explanation as if that emotion was evident on her face.

“It is because of Adela. If you leave it alone, you will endlessly shove food into your mouth and bring it back… It would be much better to use it like this.”

At that, Adela turned to Ethan with her flushed face and reprimanded Ethan for saying such a thing.

Looking at the reaction, it doesn’t seem like a lie.

“Take it quickly. I need to eat too.”

“Then… I’ll eat well…”

Finally, when Adela’s encouragement was added, she was swept away by the flowing atmosphere and received a bowl of her soup.

The smell of the soup with all the ingredients floating around made her even more irresistible.

“Okay, let’s eat well…”

Let’s kiss her bowl with her short thank you, and the contents warmly fill the empty stomach.

.

.

.

“Puha… I ate well.”

After frantically emptying her bowl, she faced another problem.

Lack of dragonflies.

But it didn’t really matter because this was a problem she already knew.

“Huh… I ate well. I’m going to sleep now because I ate. I have to leave early tomorrow…”

Beside Adela who said that, three bowls were stacked like a tower.

It seems that what Edan said was true.

“Then I will…”

As I was saying that and slowly backing away from the carriage, Adela stopped me.

“Hmm? What if I sleep there and catch a cold?”

“You don’t have to worry. It’s pretty sturdy after all.”

Besides, if I sleep in a tent, Ethan will most likely sleep in a carriage.

If you still feel like doing it while watching yourself washing the dishes and tidying up by yourself, then it is surely not a human being.

“Then we are the ones who suffer the most when we catch a cold.”

“But…”

“Be quiet and come in.”

So said Adela, who was already in the tent.

…Wait a minute.

“Seol, are you asking to sleep together?”

“Yes. The tent is wider than it looks, so two people can sleep. Because you’re small…”

“Bull, disrespect!”

She cried out and covered her mouth with her hand.

It’s disrespectful. It was an acceptable word only in the church.

Maybe sleeping together outside is acceptable.

She looked at Adela, worried that she had slipped her tongue, but Adela let out her humming snort and she said nothing.

“Well, if we don’t sleep together, Ethan will be sleeping in the carriage.”

“I will sleep with you!”

Poor Ethan.

How on earth do you live being caught by such an evil boss?

.

.

.

-Prickly… Prickly…

I can still hear the grass bugs crying, but I can’t go to bed.

The warmth of Adela felt on her shoulder.

That was the reason why I couldn’t sleep.

The evenly heard sound of Adela’s breathing tells me that Adela is asleep, but that keeps me from falling asleep even more.

I haven’t slept with anyone like this since I joined the Order I remember properly and got out of prison.

So it is inevitable that this situation is so awkward.

Even if I close my eyes to sleep, the sound of my heart continues to disturb it.

I don’t think I’ve ever had such a clear mind in my whole life.

How can a person have such a clear mind?

.

-Brush

“Haaam…”

Along with the rustling of the blanket, I hear Adela getting up next to her.

“Kid, stand up…”

Adela, who is not yet fully conscious, shakes me lightly to wake me up, but when she sees me up, she stops.

“…You couldn’t sleep at all?”

How the hell did he know?

I literally couldn’t sleep at all.

My heartbeat disturbs my sleep.

It was the first time I had ever had such an experience.

“Yes…”

“Ethan must have stood the vigil… didn’t you know?”

“It’s not like that…”

I tried to explain that it wasn’t a night watch, but that it was just an innocent sleepless night, but Adela didn’t listen to me and left the tent.

As I followed Adela outside the tent, a shocking sight unfolded.

“Edaan!”

Ethan is sleeping with only her head sticking out of the gap in the tent.

Ethan woke up startled by Adela’s cry, and she cried out in a distraught state.

“Oh, I didn’t sleep.”

“I’m not sleepy, it’s morning. When I told her to stay vigilant, is it vigilance that only her head was sticking out? Can’t even do that properly, so let’s hit it?”

Ethan, who received such a series of scoldings, couldn’t help but look unfair.

“Why am I the only one who keeps vigil in the first place! No, is there a need to stand in the first place? Do you have Noctua?”

“Because of you, the kid couldn’t even sleep because he was staying up all night!”

“…Lia?”

“Yes.”

Hearing those words, Ethan immediately threw off his oppressive atmosphere and changed into a criminal.

.

.

.

As I dozed off in Noctua’s carriage, I heard Adela’s whispering voice.

“Ehh… Seriously, how can I stay awake…”

He’s been nagging Ethan ever since.

At that level, I felt sorry for him and I should have quit, but Adela didn’t stop nagging her, as if she didn’t feel that kind of emotion at all.

That’s the sound of the two fighting.

With that sound in the background, I gradually got drunk with sleep that I couldn’t get drunk at night.
