Chapter 253 The Dragon and the Creamy Apple Puppy - S01E07
"Three years! That's three years!"
"I had been with her for so long before I met you! For three years I've been sharing my life with her!"
“I’ll tell her everything! — You know that!”
"My hopes, my dreams, my insecurities, my embarrassing habits—even my fucking liking for deodorant…!"
"We... I mean, we're a very close couple!"
"But she actually kept this from me...!? One... one... exorcist angels!? Can you imagine?!?!?"
"Why did she lie to me for so long? Did she think I couldn't accept her? 'Me'!?"
"■■■Do you think I could be that kind of person? I think we can't understand each other, uh..."
……
……
"difference."
In the swaying, uneasy air, a simple word suddenly fell.
Shirley: "Hmm?"
"..."
The brief, breathy sound paused for a moment on the dragon girl's tongue in surprise.
Faced with the Hell Princess's almost hysterical complaints along the way, the Eastern Sinner, who couldn't judge her every word, subtly adjusted his tone.
"Ah..." Meeting the girl's gaze, the dragon girl, whose expression was as indifferent as ever, remained silent for a few seconds before reluctantly continuing the other's slightly agitated and somewhat hesitant words, "Perhaps it's the 'difference' between the two of you?"
Ask her like this.
……
A brief silence followed as the words of the Eastern sinner faded.
The atmosphere, which had been as intense as boiling water, suddenly turned cold and stammered; a strange bird, common in hell, stood atop the building, screeching hoarsely.
During this silent time, the Hell Princess's expression began to become drowsy and blank, as if she were struggling with some kind of answer.
Her gaze lingered on the soft, swaying hem of the Eastern sinner's robe, tracing the shape of the wind as if in evasion.
"..."
"Perhaps you think you're the princess of hell, while she's an exorcising angel. The difference in your thinking has led to the current mess... um."
Faced with the silent Shirley, you paused at this point in your explanation, then naturally left the continuation to her.
The good news is that, with your guidance, she seems to have come to her senses.
Your eyebrows twitched up slightly.
"Yes! Differences!"
"...But that's no excuse for her hiding these things from me!"
Xia Li, who was holding the arm of the Eastern sinner, was excited.
She quickly picked up where the other person left off, then angrily waved her hand to the side.
Her exaggerated movements made the Hell Princess look like a passionate orator at this moment.
"You should know..."
"Everyone should know!"
"Trust is the bridge to communication!"
"But by doing this and hiding it from me, isn't she destroying everything...!"
"And do you know what? That she was an exorcist angel was something that arrogant bastard said in the halls of Heaven!"
"Adam just threw the truths that she should have told me herself right in my face! I just... I just... Ughhhhhh!"
Perhaps because she was reminded of the tragic scene, Shirley, whose emotions were already unstable, broke down to the point that she could no longer speak coherently and could only utter a series of broken syllables in frustration.
"..."
"Calm down, darling."
Faced with Shirley's outburst, the Dragon Girl, who had been walking with her hands in her sleeves and on the side closest to the road, finally let out a deep sigh.
The Eastern sinner, who had not uttered any biased opinion from beginning to end, stared at the blonde for a moment.
Only after she finally realized that the other person needed emotional support did she patiently place her hand on Xia Li's pale hand.
“I guess you don’t want to hear me say this at a time like this… but sweetheart, everyone in the world probably has things they need to hide from those close to them.”
"..."
Looking at Xia Li's tired face, which was filled with dissatisfaction and a hint of sadness, Dongfang Zuiren lowered his eyelashes, trying to soften his usually indifferent expression.
"Perhaps you should place your trust in Vicky on the fact that 'she never intended to hurt you'..."
"But of course, I know you're hurt right now, and that's perfectly reasonable, darling."
With a calm and impartial tone, the dragon girl swayed her tail and reached out to soothe the slightly disheveled blonde woman by patting her head.
"However, I wouldn't advise you to force yourself to process your feelings."
“Your anger and even hatred are understandable… but darling, in a way, isn’t it unfair to Vicky?”
At this point, you suddenly closed one eye and glanced at Shirley beside you with a slightly mocking expression.
"...?"
Faced with your words, the blonde woman, still angry, seemed to want to refute you, but before she could speak, her expression turned into a kind of bewilderment.
It was as if a mixture of annoyance and confusion had been spilled on her face, then twisted together in a chaotic mess.
Interestingly, at that very moment, the tailor shop behind you suddenly started playing an old song from the United States.
The grainy texture of the old-fashioned record player's sound gives this old song a strong sense of nostalgia.
But the singer's silky smooth voice was like that of a gentleman who didn't care about others' opinions, recklessly displaying his beautiful singing voice on the streets of hell.
Hello, Dolly
The version sung by Steve Lawrence in August 1964.
...Good taste, it does match the style of your region.
……
"..."
“Let’s think about it… Hey, I actually often hide things from you too, but you believe I would never hurt you, right? Similarly, even if your feelings for me and Vicky are different—”
Seeing that Xia Li remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.
Having pulled your attention away from that old song, you slowly bent down towards Shirley beside you.
As her unhurried voice fell, the Eastern Sinner's silky long hair slid down from the side of the Hell Princess, making her appear more reserved and mysterious.
“…Oh…my dear…”
"So, didn't you and I also hide something very important from Vicky?"
Seeing Shirley with her head down in thought, you slowly reach out and gently lift her chin slightly.
Although you are looking down at her from a superior position, your gaze is helpless and gentle.
It's like a teacher watching a student who is frustrated and going crazy because they can't solve a problem.
You speak gently, yet you always hit the nail on the head; because she couldn't figure out the initial question, you always led Shirley into new thoughts.
—And then, a short, brief silence followed.
Seeing this, the dragon girl, who had never forced Xia Li to think, raised one eyebrow, then lazily lowered her eyes and began to casually survey her surroundings.
