EP.258 I’ll Crush the Scheming Tairat into Dust!

@@

Jihyuk’s car drives off into the distance.

Adel, who had been silently watching, limped toward the convenience store in front of her house.

“Hello, Ms. Adeline.”

Adel smiled back at the friendly female clerk.

She picked out strawberry milk and bread, went to the counter, and took out her card.

“That’ll be 2,500 won.”

“Here… I don’t need a bag.”

After the transaction was complete, Adel bowed slightly and was about to leave the store when,

“Are you feeling unwell?”

The clerk’s follow-up question made Adel turn around and force a weak smile.

“I’m fine. My stomach’s just a little upset. Thank you.”

“Okay… Take care.”

Adel groaned as she headed back home.

She thought about what the clerk had said.

Like the clerk had worried, she *was* in pain.

But it wasn’t her stomach.

It was just that her… lower area was sore from her intimate time with Jihyuk.

It was something she couldn’t tell anyone, and it made her feel a little down.

She felt like the clerk had overstepped by asking about her personal life.

But that thought quickly disappeared.

It was gone in an instant, as if it had never crossed her mind.

Beep-! Beep beep beep beep-!

Adel entered the password on the front door and opened it, where Sylvia greeted her as usual.

“You’re back? Come in.”

Sylvia, who seemed to have been doing home workouts, was covered in sweat.

A crop top that slightly revealed her upper abdomen, and tight training pants.

Adel looked at Sylvia’s toned body with envy and shook her head.

“Yeah… Unnie…”

Sylvia, noticing Adel’s downcast expression, asked with concern.

“Didn’t you just meet Jihyuk? Did something happen?”

Adel flinched at the question, “Did something happen?”

It was a question Sylvia often asked.

But recalling Sylvia’s reaction after recharging her “Aiter,” Adel wondered if Sylvia was hoping something had happened between her and Jihyuk.

“Something did happen…”

“Really…? I’m sure it’ll work out.”

Perhaps because Adel’s reaction last time had been unusual, Sylvia didn’t press further.

Adel was grateful for that… but Sylvia had shown interest in Jihyuk before with vague answers.

I need to make it clear where we stand so Sylvia won’t get any ideas about Jihyuk.

With that resolve, Adel spoke up.

“I… made love with Jihyuk today.”

“Huh…?”

Sylvia was stunned.

Her mouth slightly open, she scratched the back of her head.

“Adel… I… I’m not really curious…”

“Jihyuk’s baby-making stuff went into my special place. Four times.”

“W-what…?”

Sylvia was completely dumbfounded.

She hadn’t expected Adel to say something like this.

Though it was phrased indirectly… given Adel’s usual behavior, it might as well have been outright.

“Baby-making stuff… You mean…”

“Yes! That’s what I’m talking about…! Jihyuk’s genitals combined with mine, moving back and forth hundreds… no, thousands of times, and he put his baby-making stuff inside me…! It was… really good!”

As she exaggerated, Adel felt like crawling into a hole.

Talking about her intimate time with Jihyuk was embarrassing.

Even if it was Sylvia.

Her face bright red, Adel bowed at a 45-degree angle toward Sylvia, who was at a loss for words.

“Th-thank you for your concern… I’ll… go to my room now!”

“W-wait, Adel…! Hold on…! Did you use protection…?”

SLAM!

The door to her room closed with a loud bang.

Sylvia, with a complicated expression, stared at Adel’s door and shook her head.

Then, in a very small voice, she let out a sigh. “Wow…”

She was that shocked.

Words like “baby-making stuff” and “genitals” had come out of Adel’s mouth.

Sylvia, momentarily in a panic, started cleaning up her mat.

She understood what Adel was trying to do.

She probably wanted to make Sylvia give up on Jihyuk.

“Sigh…”

But what could she do…? Her feelings for Jihyuk were still there.

No, they were getting deeper as time went on…

‘Can’t I like Jihyuk too?’

Does a crush need anyone’s permission? Absolutely not.

Whether she liked Jihyuk or not, that was her own heart.

Honestly, the fact that the two had been intimate bothered her.

But on Earth, it was considered normal for lovers to be physically intimate.

So Jihyuk and Adel’s relationship wasn’t strange at all.

The issue was the lack of protection.

From Adel’s description, it seemed they had done it without a condom…

What if she ended up pregnant?

Adel was still an immature woman who wasn’t ready to be a mother. This couldn’t go on.

Of course, Jihyuk was a smart guy, so he’d probably handle contraception properly…

‘I need to warn them.’

Yes, a warning was necessary.

She had no intention of interfering with their beautiful love.

But she had to make sure things were done right, because she was worried.

With that thought, Sylvia mentally cheered herself up, neatly placed the mat in the corner of the living room, and went to her room.

@@

[I’m going out for a workout.

I made rose pasta on the stove.

Eat it, and if you’re bored, call me. I’ll come back right away.

Love you, Adel.]

Adel, who woke up late in the afternoon, took the note stuck on the door and carefully stored it in her room.

She had mentioned her lower area was sore, so Sylvia probably thought she’d rest and just left the note.

If Sylvia had asked her to come along, she would’ve at least pretended to get up… She felt a little disappointed.

“Ugh…”

After sleeping, her lower area hurt a little less.

But it still hurt, so Adel struggled to move to the kitchen.

Opening the frying pan lid, a sweet aroma wafted out.

Adel licked her lips, turned on the stove, reheated the pasta, and transferred it to a bowl.

After slurping down the pasta, Adel did the dishes and went back to her room.

She then knelt on her bed and prayed to Rosario.

The main content of her prayer was for her and Jihyuk’s eternal love.

Hoping Rosario would bless them, Adel focused her mind.

Hummm…

A golden divine power emanated from her body.

Feeling the energy that naturally purified her heart, Adel tilted her head.

Was it just her imagination, or was the divine power stronger than usual?

It was hard to describe, but if she had to, it felt like adding starch to water.

Sticky and thick… something like that.

But it wasn’t suspicious enough to be alarming, and the feeling was too subtle to call it significant.

Also, as she cleared her mind and focused, it felt fine.

So Adel dismissed it as nothing serious.

It was probably just her imagination, confused by her intimate time with Jihyuk and the pain in her lower abdomen.

‘Huh…?’

As she prayed fervently, Adel sensed a suspicious energy.

A very evil, hostile energy.

It was “Magi.”

Adel’s eyes snapped open, and she immediately pulled back the curtains.

In the distance, she saw five kindergarten teachers leading dozens of children somewhere.

The Magi was emanating from one of them.

Adel’s body filled with rage.

Tairat!

To inject Magi into a teacher nurturing young sprouts!

Lately, the results of sending out demons have been unsatisfactory, so he’s been involving ordinary people!

What a despicable demon king!

Furious, Adel calmed her mind and released her divine power.

Just like when she purified the unknown celebrity at the airport, very discreetly.

Whoosh…!

An invisible energy shot through the window at high speed.

The pure, clean energy entered the teacher’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

The reaction was immediate.

The teacher, filled with divine power, stood still in place.

She soon snapped out of it at her colleagues’ concern, looked confused for a moment, and then led the children away.

Purification complete!

Adel felt proud of her actions but also worried.

If she could find someone infused with Magi here… Tairat must have spread Magi to all sorts of people.

With the battle against demons still ongoing, she couldn’t track down every single person… It was a real problem.

But it was okay. She was overflowing with confidence.

She’d purify any Magi she found and crush the heads of any demons that appeared, driving Tairat to despair!

And if Tairat couldn’t take it and showed up himself, she’d crush him into dust!

That would bring peace to Earth!

‘O Almighty Rosario… Grant me strength…’

As always, when she prayed, she felt her body and mind strengthen.

After a long prayer, Adel, mentally fortified, saw a message from Jihyuk and happily picked up her phone.

[How’s your body? You looked really tired yesterday… I should’ve walked you all the way to your door, not just the front.]

Adel pouted.

If you noticed I was tired, you should’ve at least helped me!

[(⇀‸↼‵)]

[I’m sorry. Are you resting today?]

Rest? I’d be fine meeting up and making love right now!

He kept being considerate and then not… What a handful of a boyfriend.

[No.]

[Then shall we meet in 4 hours?]

[4 hours…? (꒪⌓꒪)]

[Then 3 hours?]

[(ﾒﾟ皿ﾟ)]

[I’m at work right now… Even if I finish quickly, it’ll take at least 2 hours. Is that okay?]

[(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)]

[Got it. I’ll let you know when I head out.]

After finishing her chat with Jihyuk, Adel rushed to the bathroom.

Filling the bathtub and soaking in it, she let out a relaxed sigh.

And then… she thought about her time with Jihyuk.

Zing-!

“Ah…!”

Adel suddenly let out a low moan and covered her lower area with both hands.

Imagining him caressing her private parts made her lower area tingle pleasantly.

It felt like… since this morning, she had awakened to a primal desire.

‘I want to see him so badly…’

As she pictured Jihyuk’s face, Adel checked that the bathroom door was locked and slowly moved her fingers toward her lower area before stopping.

If she held out a little longer, the satisfaction when Jihyuk did it would be even greater.

Plus, doing it herself felt too shameful.

Giving up on self-pleasure, Adel pressed a button on the bathtub.

Bubbles rose up and tickled her entire body.

Letting out a relaxed sigh, she leaned back against the tub.

If I tell him what happened today, he’ll praise me, right?

Imagining him saying “Good job” and “I love you” in a gentle voice for dealing with Tairat’s evil scheme made her so happy.
