Chapter 228

If it wasn’t for Lilia’s horns, anyone would think she was the daughter of this house.

Looking at the friendly atmosphere between Lilia and the middle-aged woman, I suddenly became curious.

“Lilia, how did you get here?”

Hearing my question, Lilia moved her eyes back and forth and started recalling the memories of the past.

“To be honest, I was very lucky. When I first arrived here, I was very confused because it was so different from what I had thought. There were a lot of people who didn’t have horns. The roads were plicated, and I didn’t understand the language they were talking…”

Lilia trembled as if the helpless feeling of that time had revived.

“After wandering around for a few days. I accidentally found a place with a lot of artifacts. Since I was wondering about what kind of artifacts they are using in the Human world I quickly entered the Artifact shop.”

“Oh, that’s how you met Uncle.”

“Yes! When he saw me ing into the store, he froze. But still, he tried to help me using the smartphone translation function, and when it didn’t work, he tried to speak with me using pictures.”

I looked at the Artifact store owner with a slightly shocked expression. I thought he would be an insensitive grumpy guy, but to my surprise, he seemed to be a very kind person.

“Hmmm…”

Feeling burdened by everyone’s gaze, the store owner turned his head toward the window and coughed.

“While talking to Uncle, my stomach growled. Uncle brought me to this house. Auntie was really surprised when she saw me at first. But she understood I was hungry and prepared me a meal right away.”

“Ho-ho, I was surprised thinking he had brought a foreigner.”

“The food was so delicious that I ate a lot. While resting in the living room, I fell asleep and when I woke up it was dark. Auntie gave me dinner and also a room on the second floor to stay the night… but somehow I ended up staying here for days.”

Lilia scratched her head with an embarrassed look.

Hearing her story, I felt that it was fortunate that she met such good-hearted people, rather than those with impure intentions or the Angels.

Andras, who also thought the same way, bowed to the couple in front of him.

“Thank you very much for taking care of my sister. I’ll apologize for all the trouble she caused.”

“What trouble? There was no such thing. This house has been lonely since our children went out after getting jobs. We were happy to have Lilia who made this house lively after a long time.”

“Hehe! I was also so happy to be with Uncle and Auntie.”

Lilia clung to the lady and acted cute, and soon, a pleasant smile appeared on the lady’s face.

“Hahaha. Uncle also got a lot of help from Lilia. Didn’t you help him repair artifacts every day? Before going to bed, he always pliments you, saying you had great skills…”

“COUGH! Why are you talking nonsense?

The quiet Uncle was surprised by what the lady said and stopped her from speaking. He made an awkward expression while looking at Andras and me for no reason.

I was worried that Andras’ sister might have had a hard time, but looking at her being loved by the couple, warmed my heart.

While we were chatting about this and that… I got a text message from my mother on my phone. My mother seemed to have worried about us since I didn’t contact her for a while.

It was only then, I realized that we were in the couple’s house for quite some time. I immediately replied to my mother that nothing had happened, and then spoke to Andras in a low voice.

“Andras. I think we should get going.”

Lilia responded to me before Andras.

“Are you going back already?”

“We came here with my family, and they are waiting for us. It will be dinner time soon, so, we have to start now.”

“Um… I wanted to talk to Brother Sihyeon a little more, guess, it can’t be helped then….”

“…….??”

I was speechless at Lilia’s attitude.

Fortunately, Andras spoke in a determined manner on my behalf.

“Lilia. You should e with us.”

“Uh! Why me?”

“This is not where you belong. We have to go back to the Demon world.”

“What? can’t I just stay here? There’s nothing wrong with being quiet like now, right? I haven’t reached master rank in the game yet, and I have to watch a drama with Auntie today.”

Andras screamed at Lilia in a loud voice, which was very unlike him.

“Do you know how much trouble your actions are causing others? It’s not just Father and mother, many people have been moving to find you. Sihyeon here has been searching for you with me instead of spending time with his family…. because of your immature behavior, a lot of people are suffering unnecessarily.”

Lilia looked pretty shocked.

I was also surprised to look at Andras, whom I have never seen this angry.

Lilia soon began to tear up.

Both the lady and Uncle, who were next to her looked at her in panic.

“I… I’m sorry, brother, I didn’t know everyone was going through so much trouble….”

“What you’ve done now is beyond my and our father’s control. If things had gone wrong, it would have been irrevocable. So stop acting like a child!”

“Uh…”

The lady patted Lilia on the shoulder with a pitiful look.

“Lilya’s brother. Can’t you give this child a little more time? It hurts me so much to break up with her like this all of a sudden.”

“No Madam. I can’t let her bother you two anymore…”

Looking at Andras’ resolute refusal, Uncle, who had been quiet all this time, spoke.

“It was never a bother for us. Unknowingly, we bonded with the child. Can’t you give us one more day to say our goodbyes? Please.”

The old man asked with a desperate look.

Andras, who had been determined until a while ago, had a slightly blurred expression.

“That’s a good idea.”

“Sihyeon…”

“Andras, even if we take her now we can’t send her back right away.  How about Lilia staying here while we make the preparations.”

Like the time with Lia, we don’t have a separate room for her at our house. It seemed better for her to stay here than at my house.

Andras also realized that and sighed loudly. He looked at Lilia and the couple and said.

“It’s shameless… …but I’d be grateful if you could allow my sister to stay here for one more day.”

Eventually, It was decided to allow Lilia to stay at the couple’s house for one more day.

Lilia kept crying and apologized to me and Andras. I smiled and said it was okay, but Andras nodded roughly as if saying, his anger has not subsided yet.

Soon, we left the old couple’s house and started walking toward the park.

Andras, who had been walking quietly, suddenly sighed loudly.

“Pheww… I’m sorry, Sihyeon.”

“What are you sorry about? I’m fine, so don’t worry too much about me, Andras. Rather, I’m happy that your sister was doing fine.”

When I replied with a smile, Andras smiled helplessly. I brought up a new topic of conversation to change the mood a little bit.

“But… Is she really your sister?”

“Yes. Why are you asking that?”

“No, it’s just that she got a pletely different vibe from Andras and the Schnarpe Lord I saw last time.”

“Hmm, it’s because Lilia is more like my mother than my father.”

No matter how much she took after her mother, I don’t understand how can siblings be so different.

Suddenly, I wondered what Andras and Lilia’s mother would be like.

“Anyway, I’m glad things went well. We should also contact Ryan and inform him what happened so that he can start the preparations.”

“Once again, I got a lot of help from you, Sihyeon. Thank you, Thank you very much.”

At that time, when Andras thanked me, Akum, who was in my arms, made a short cry.

– Pooo? Woooooo!

“Yes, yes! Akum was also amazing. Thank you very much, Akum. When we go to Demon world, I’ll get you something delicious, as much as you want.”

Pow wo woooo

When Andras said he’d get him something delicious, Akum smiled and cried satisfactorily.

“Hahaha!”

“Hahaha!”

We burst into laughter at the sight of Akum who was pleased.

The next day, as promised, I and Andras revisited the old couple’s house.

Lilia was waiting for us, ready to leave. She seemed to have quite a bit of luggage than I thought.

“Lilia. I made some side dishes that you like. And this is a lunch box, so eat it with your brother later.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Lilia took her smartphone out of her pocket and held it out.

“I’ll give it back.”

“It’s all right. Take it with you.”

“But I can’t use it where I live…”

“You have to contact us when you e back. So take it.”

“Auntie…”

Lilia hugged her with tears in her eyes.

“Thank you very much, Auntie.”

“Okay… next time you must get permission from your parents and e. Will you…?”

“Yes! Of course, I will.”

Lilia, who had held the lady for a while, hugged the uncle next to her.

“You can’t forget me, either, okay Uncle?”

The old man panicked for a moment but quickly stroked Lilia’s back with a caring smile.

After a short goodbye, Lilia got in the car. The car, which began to move, left the residential area along the alleyway. The two couples continued to wave their hands until the vehicle disappeared, and Lila also waved hard through the back window.

As the couple pletely disappeared, Lilia muttered in a sullen voice.

“Can I see them again…”

I said, looking at the back seat in the rearview mirror.

“Well… it’s not like there’s no chance at all…”

Lilia clung close to the back of the driver’s seat with her eyes wide open.

“Brother Sihyeon, really?”

“Of course, but to do that you should not cause any more trouble to your parents.”

“Brother Sihyeon! I’ll do everything that mom and dad say. I’ll also work hard on my troublesome ballroom dance lessons.”

“Then I’ll think about it later.”

“Really? Promise?”

I smiled and nodded at the sight of excited Lilia.

My promise blew away her gloomy appearance. As she regained her vitality, a faint smile bloomed on Andras’ face.

Lilia shook herself up and down for a long time with overflowing joy.

After a while, she calmed down and asked, clinging to the back of the driver’s seat again.

“But Brother Sihyeon. Where are we going now?”

“To a place which can help you go to the Demon world secretly.”

“To open the dimensional door to the Demon world secretly…we need a lot of supplies”

“Don’t worry. We’ve prepared everything in advance.”
