Dark Contractor

The teacup Yuesheng sent, without confirming the taste of the black tea, put it into his mouth.It seems that it should be a fact that he has no interest in food, Yue Sheng smiled slightly. "But treating everyone around you as a passer-by, wouldn't such a life be boring?" "Don't bother me, I have many interesting customers in my store. I won't be bored." Alexis stared at Yue Sheng waited for a while, then nodded. "I said you... I didn't expect you to like human beings very much." "Huh?" Hearing his surprised tone, Yue Sheng was startled instead. "Because you're cold, I thought you hated humans." "If I hated humans, I wouldn't be able to make medicine to help others, right?" Yue Sheng finished speaking, and he nodded as if in agreement. "I thought you wanted to make money. By the way, why did you prescribe a medicine?" Yue Sheng didn't know whether to answer, if she missed this opportunity, she might lose the opportunity to understand each other with Alexis. "...Before, I said that I was an adopted son, right?" "Yeah." "After my father passed away, my mother was ill for a long time, and occasionally she would say that the medicine didn't work and that she was very uncomfortable. Because she is a A strong woman seldom talks about her pain since she was ill in bed, so I feel very sad to hear her say that." Yue Sheng's adoptive mother's stable face appeared in Yue Sheng's mind.Obviously already in such pain, in Yue Sheng's memories, her mother always showed a gentle smile.

—My dear child.Your hair is so beautiful, Yuesheng.I used to love black hair.

As the adoptive mother said, she would hug herself tightly.For Yuesheng who has stopped growing up, the adoptive mother doesn't think he is strange. "I thought it would be best to use tincture of laudanum, which is not legal because of the side effects. Then I thought, I should be able to make medicine too, so I started to learn." Alexis did not interject the mocking Respond, and listen carefully to Yuesheng's words.

"The medicine I made had no effect on my mother's symptoms. Maybe I took my adoptive mother who loves me as a guinea pig."

—Please, hold my hand.I am not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is leaving you behind.Yue Sheng, you are about to become alone.

Although Yue Sheng didn't want Alexis to know that he regretted it, Alexis seemed to be sensitive to it.He raised his head and said frankly: "Sorry." "Huh?" "I seem to have asked something that shouldn't be asked." He apologized so sincerely that Yue Sheng was very confused. "...What's wrong?" Alexis tilted his neck as if aware of his intention of silence. "It's nothing, I didn't expect you to apologize to me so frankly... so I was a little surprised." "I feel sorry, of course I will apologize." It was the first time I saw Alexis's angry expression. "Anyway, it was decades ago. Sadness is only for a while... By the way, how did you become a priest?" Although he didn't mean to fight back, he just wanted to ask.Alexis is the son of a wealthy nobleman, why did he go to Shinto, Yue Sheng couldn't figure out why.Most of the aristocrats Yue Sheng knew were people who pursued pleasure, fame or material desires.Alexis looked up and stared at Yue Sheng's eyes. "My father is the former Baron Dowding." "...Isn't Baron Dowding your cousin?" Feeling a bit shy about talking about other people's housework, Yue Sheng naturally lowered her voice. "He just wanted to send his concubine's son to another place, so he forced me to be sent to relatives." Alexis replied calmly as if nothing had happened.He himself should just want to say that he has no feelings about his own origin at all. "I've seen my father's face, but I've only talked to him a few times. My brother and I only met a few times to share the property." "I'm sorry..." I didn't think much about asking such a bad thing, Yue Sheng was very frustrated. "It's nothing, it's okay." Seeing Alexis's usual attitude, Yue Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask. "Did you choose to become a priest when you were in a private middle school?" "I entered a monastery. I didn't have the right to choose to go to school at the beginning." This is an unexpected answer. "... Huh?" "The unlucky son born to a concubine, it's better not to stay in Dawding's house. He will only be treated differently if he stays in the village. Anyway, I can't think of any other way, and my mother is a pious Christian, so I want to inherit her will." "I see." "...Actually, maybe I just want a shelter." Alexis's words were interrupted unnaturally, and Yue Sheng felt that the atmosphere was not good. That's right, I didn't dare to make a sound myself.Was defeating the demon, for Alexis, securing his place?Yuesheng grew up under the care of her adoptive parents, but Alexis was abandoned by her parents, and she never even saw her face.Alexis, too, only grew up with the affection of her adoptive mother.I and Alexis may have something in common in that they don't know their real parents.If he can understand at this time, it should arouse Alexis's disgust.Maybe he'd say he didn't want the demon's sympathy or something.Silence is heavier than hesitation.Although it was full of Lucius' steady breath, it couldn't eliminate all the embarrassment. "I'll make some tea for you." "Okay." Yuesheng stood in the kitchen, and found that her cuff was stained with Alexis' blood, feeling dizzy.In order to survive, you must take the lives of others.But Yuesheng didn't want to build a mountain of corpses for his own life.It didn't occur to him that he had to hurt and sacrifice others so that he could live for a long time.Even if the other party is someone as annoying as Alexis.No, although Alexis was a nasty man, he was just faithfully carrying out his mission.If Yue Sheng could live on his energy alone, then he wouldn't have to eat human life like eating bread. "Do you want to add sugar?" Yuesheng asked in a slightly louder voice. He was surprised that he didn't hear the answer, so he went to the living room to confirm that Alexis hadn't been seen for a long time. Smeow meowed. "... Has he gone back?" Yuesheng asked in a low voice, as if to confirm that Alexis, who had disappeared, existed.Lucius replied, "He's shy." "Shy?" "Helping others is not in line with his principles, for Alec." Perhaps after listening to the conversation between them, Lucius seemed to understand him what are you talking about. "Actually, he came to save you without saying anything. It's really not good." "Is he clumsy?" "Maybe." Lucius stretched himself, and rubbed his paws on the sofa, embarrassed Said "Oops".Probably remembering that Yuesheng strictly prohibited him from sharpening his claws on the bench. "By the way, I'm hungry, Yuesheng." "I'll help you prepare the milk now." "It would be fine if it wasn't diluted with water." "My milk is not diluted...but London's milk quality It's all bad, and it bothers me too." Sitting back on the bench, he felt as though Alexis's warmth was still on it.

VII changes

Alexis got out of the carriage at the door on his way home from the exorcism.Since there was no gatekeeper, the driver of the carriage had to be troubled to stop the carriage in front of the entrance.Because the demon-possessed believers were very rough tonight, the exorcism was more troublesome than expected.Alexis thanked the driver, and after paying the money, he found a figure in the entrance not far away, so he put on a posture.Could it be Uberu?Maybe it's because he drove the wolves away last time, so he came to the door.Contrary to his expectation, it was Yue Sheng who stood blankly in front of the entrance. "What wind brought you here?" Because yesterday gave him a lot of energy, Yue Sheng should not be hungry yet.Although he felt that it was unlikely that Yuesheng's visit was because he needed him, he couldn't say that there was no such possibility.Once you understand the way to satisfy your desires, it may be endless. "...Eat." Judging from Yue Sheng's unspeakable expression, he thought that Yue Sheng was really hungry.At the same time, Yuesheng was obviously so strong in the past, but now he has no patience at all, which also disappointed him. "Unexpectedly, your patience is not as good as I expected." Hearing his teasing tone, Yue Sheng glared at Alexis with an angry expression.In Alexis's memory, his previous expression seemed to be more defensive, maybe it was an illusion.Or is he used to Alexis in his own way? "It's not about mine, but about your meal." Yue Sheng said, stuffing the paper bag in her hand to Alexis. "Mine?" "Yes. Take it quickly. If you don't take it, I won't be able to go home." His aggressive tone made people feel cute, but Alexis didn't intend to Talk to him outside, and he opens the porch. "I originally wanted to stay and go back. Don't you have any servants or housekeepers?" Looking at the deserted entrance, Yue Sheng showed a surprised expression. "I fired them. Because they thought the house was a haunted house and they were scared." A house with no lights on is a bit eerie, it should be scary.It was so dark that it was easy to fall, so Alexis struck a match and lit the candle in the candlestick. "Your eyesight is very good in the dark." "It's not as good as yours." "Now Lucius is staying with me for a long time, won't you feel inconvenient without someone?" "It's okay." Because For this reason, the house was in a mess and there was no one to clean it up, so he had to rely on the power of the little devil, but they
