Members heading to the training camp on the hill.
As they said, Vernon taught Nia, and Gilliana prepared dishes suitable for the child to eat.
And Hiss, as always, did not lift a finger, except for the floor that the commander had told him in advance, he cleaned with magical items he had created.
Thanks to the talents of these skilled people, the training camp quickly became a place suitable for a child to stay, clean with the aroma of warm food.
Yes.
It was, therefore, the perfect scene for communal childrearing.
But now those grateful and fine members were looking at Lucia, seated beside them, with eyes as if looking at a wicked stepmother.
“…Commander. Isn’t that too harsh? You never looked at her that way.”
“I mean, Captain. It’s already been several days and she’s just a 5yearold child. She’s not a salt field slave or anything.”
“…A bit much.”
Those who were chattering looked once again at something squirming on the floor of the residence with pitiful eyes.
At the end of their gaze, there was Nia, who was crawling around wiping the wooden floor, tightly clutching a folded rag with her fernlike hands.
“Commander, shall I erase it?”
As Hiss spoke,
“No, no! Nia, Nia will do it herself!”
Is this the power of a saint?
As the little child cheerfully spoke with an innocent face, Lucia felt her eyes go blind with the dazzling brightness, filled with guilt.
Thus, the four grown adults sat on the sofa, uncomfortably and anxiously lifting and lowering their legs, just watching the child crawl around wiping.
“Sniff. Such a little child…!”
“Damn it! I want to help. She won’t erase the stain that way.”
Just like their words, the child’s gesture was very awkward, and it was very difficult to simply erase the black stain seeped into the wooden floor of the training camp with just water.
“That’s even better.”
At Lucia’s small murmur, the two moved away from the sofa to the corner, whispering with very contemptuous eyes.
They had always gotten along well.
“…Well, there is a reason.”
Despite their noise, the child silently did her work.
The somewhat relieving part about this pitiful scene was that the child, who used to tremble at the sight of strangers, seemed to adapt better than expected, maybe because she now had a purpose.
“…Commander. It’s May now.”
Next to Lucia, who was watching Nia, Hiss spoke.
“Uhhuh. It’s May.”
“……”
At that, Hiss rolled his eyes.
When Hiss remained silent by her side,
“It’s your birthday.”
Despite Lucia’s indifferent tone, Hiss subtly raised the corner of his mouth as if her words were the correct answer.
And then, Hiss quickly turned his head so as not to be noticed.
‘How bland. Especially since I won’t even do anything.’
Lucia, who seemed to have anticipated this, deliberately did not look at him.
Hiss knew about her habit from the first demon subjugation expedition when he was picked up by Lucia at 17, repeating around this time every year.
Among many members, he was the only one who secretly came to see her face every May for 5 years of training.
Perhaps he was the only one who certainly knew that the saint’s child was not hers, but Lucia knew.
That Hiss wouldn’t pry into her.
‘Come to think of it, have I ever given a gift? Maybe I should do something this year.’
She thought, but she was likely to forget soon anyway.
Knock, knock.
When had the training camp, where no one had been seen, become so visited?
Lucia, as always, did not move an inch as if to ignore the sound of knocking on the door.
But two members with sharp ears.
They were very actively playing the role of a house servant in this residence, opening the door with light steps.
“What’s the matter?”
“Who’s there, who?”
“It’s definitely their house.”
Even though it wasn’t Lucia’s own house, their natural appearance displeased her.
“Leon Ruwins has sent this.”
“…What? Leon Ruwins?”
Lucia recalled him from a few days ago, threatening her with a frightening momentum.
“Huh? That Leon Ruwins?”
“The leader of the Hundred Wizards? Let’s see where.”
Vernon quickly took the address from the delivery person.
“Is it really? The leader? It seems the leader of the Hundred has sent something.”
Lucia, appearing quite bothered, slowly got up from the sofa.
As soon as she stood up, she was quite surprised by the view of the entrance.
Boxes with large and small ribbons on cute packaging were being filled up by delivery people, one after another.
“……What on earth. This is.”
While Lucia was surprised, Vernon and Gilliana shut their mouths.
And their eyes, looking at their leader, became tearful as if shining.
“……It’s love!”
“……It’s love!”
Despite their incomprehensible cheers, Lucia continued to lose words to the array of gifts flowing in like waves.
Soon, they were multiplying, blocking all passages inside the house.
Their dynamic appearance seemed to express someone’s heart that was rushing straight ahead, as if the brakes were released.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
