Chapter 29: "LOVE wake up"

"I don't think this is very good."

In the silent black darkness. Linc could hear a middle-aged man's voice echoing from all directions.

"Who is that?"

Linc's consciousness was in complete disarray, as if he were a DVD cassette stuck in a jam in his video player.

"The entrance to the front gate is my birthday. The secret passage behind is my daughter Raina's birthday."

"Thinking of the times I needed an escape but had to remember my Daughter's birthday feels so ironic. But it's also good not to miss her birthday like yesterday. Isn't this a bit contradictory?"

"Wait a minute... Yes... What's wrong? .... Are you serious!? It's Raina's birthday today?! I didn't forget it!"

"...Wait a minute. Then who mentioned that yesterday was our daughter's birthday?"

"...."

"I was wrong! I was wrong! You are right! Wife please lower the wooden stick in your hand! Please!"

"...."

"...."

"...."

Waited a few moments in silence. Linc suddenly saw a candle burning in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings with its dim light.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"

Looking at the new-aged man who was smiling broadly and a beautiful woman who had almost the same face as Raina. Linc suddenly realized something.

He looked in the mirror.

He saw, little Raina, smiling very broadly while carrying Miss Kitty in her arms.

"Happy birthday!"

Take a deep breath. Little Raina's mouth began to blow the wind, and the flame of the candle that was attached to the cake, instantly disappeared.

Darkness began to envelop the surroundings once again.

"...."

Look at all the clues issued in front of this. Linc could only sigh helplessly in the darkness.

"LOVE... Are you awake?"

"...."

".... I understand."

Linc's consciousness suddenly faded once again into the silent silence.

_______

Inside the mansion himself. Raina, who was still cooking rice porridge soup, suddenly raised her head quickly.

"Wake up!?"

Ignoring the screams of the disgruntled cats. Raina rushed to Linc's room, and quickly opened the door.

"Cough! Cough!"

Raina saw that Linc was coughing up blood. And every time his blood, started seeping out from the demon mask he was wearing.

"DEVIL!"

He felt an additional weight fall on top of him. Linc felt every inch of his body begin to scream in excruciating pain.

"Devil! Devil! Devil! Devil!"

[Ding! +800]

[Ding! +800]

[Ding! +800]

....

Hearing the system's voice and Raina's overjoyed voice, and saying his pseudonym was like summoning a real demon into this world. Linc who was still filled with pain, couldn't think of anything.

"You still alive!"

That's a very stupid question.

Linc wanted to curse if he could.

"Ergh... ehek!"

Seeing that Linc was coughing hoarsely, and thick red blood was starting to seep out from the corners of his mask. Raina, who saw this, hurriedly left his embrace.

"S-SORRY!!!"

Looking at Linc frantically, and realizing that the devil was still lying where he was lying with no sign of moving at all. Raina checked Linc's stomach breathing, and heaved a sigh of relief.

".... It hurts?"

Another stupid question.

Linc felt that this woman's IQ had dropped drastically when he fainted.

"I was really worried... You're still alive... hiks... Thank goodness..." Raina smiled, and wiped the happy tears that fell from her eyes little by little, as if she didn't want to show her ugly side to the devil at all.

"...."

Linc's conscience felt very guilty. He decided to just keep quiet for now.

"Devil, you're still awake? Is your body okay? .... Devil?"

Facing her question Raina was very worried. Linc could only move his neck to the side, and he felt like her collarbone was about to break.

"You're awake!?"

"...."

There were so many curses and insults that Linc wanted to throw at this time. For example, why does she keep repeating the same question so many times that it makes his head confused about what to answer.

However...

Linc's consciousness suddenly became dim again. He felt very tired.

"Devil, Devil?"

Gently rocked Linc's body. Raina realized that Linc was fast asleep again, and she pulled a pink handkerchief from her trouser pocket.

Wipe the blood that oozes out from within the mask of the immortal demon. Raina didn't dare to take this mask off Linc's face at all.

The last time it was pulled out, the devil's body convulsed crazily, and blood like pillars, instantly poured out of Linc's body.

It made Raina really scared and traumatized. She didn't dare to take off the demon mask on Linc's face once again.

Wiping all the blood that was on Linc's face. Raina noticed Linc's smooth breathing, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Raina sat up, and gripped Linc's right hand which had swollen badly. She crossed their fingers together tightly.

"Thank goodness... you're alive."

She stroked Linc's hand carefully, full of warmth.

"I don't want to lose one more time."

"Thank you..."

Raina's feeble thanksgiving prayer in Linc's room grew more and more sincere.

Raina is really happy.

______

Opened his eyes again at night. Linc saw that Raina was sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Opened the system panel and checked the rewards he got. A vitality healing potion appeared in his hand.

"Truly a useless item, but it can't be thrown away."

What do you expect from gacha?

Isn't that legendary equipment and powerful god level skills!? How come all the gacha he's gotten so far is trash!

Poured a vitality potion onto his demon mask. The water evaporated as it touched the surface of the mask, and Linc felt his body lighten up.

The pain that was all over his body, began to slowly fade away.

"Thinking about it, this system isn't too bad either." Linc breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because of Linc's rather large movement. Raina who was sitting on the chair, and leaning on Linc's bed, woke up, and she stretched her aching body.

"Ouch!"

Raina felt a lot of pain around her spine and back of her neck.

"It's not good to sleep in that position. Go back to your room to sleep."

Hearing down the devil suddenly spoke to him. Raina stared at the demon blankly, and after that was shocked!

"Devil, you can talk!"

Linc's face behind the mask turned black: "You say it like I am a disabled person. Get lost!"

Wanted to shoo Raina away to let herself rest in peace. Linc wouldn't have expected Raina to be so disobedient at all.

"Devil! Devil! Devil! Devil!!"

[Ding! +800]

[Ding! +800]

[Ding! +800]

....

Raina hugged Linc happily.

Linc gripped Raina's small head with a max level iron claw skill.

"Don't keep saying my name like you want to summon a demon!"

He was finally able to say the words he had wanted to say for a long time.

"Um~!"

Raina smiled sweetly.

"...."

Linc admitted defeat.

Breathing helplessly. Linc rubbed Raina's hair gently, and asked:

"You want to eat something?"

Getting questions that are beyond her reach. Raina felt her stomach was hungry, and she nodded her head blankly.

"Very nice."

Stand up from where he was lying. Although there was still pain in his body. This didn't really restrict Linc's movement at all.

As he walked towards the exit of his room. His left hand was suddenly held by a soft hand.

"... Together?"

Watching Raina silently. Linc smiled gently behind his mask.

"Well, let's eat together."

"Um~!" Raina smiled sweetly again.

Felt that Linc's hands weren't as cold as ice when she brought his back into the mansion. Raina began to miss the warmth emitted by the demon.

"Thank you dad." Raina whispered in a small voice.

The grip on her right hand that was holding Linc, slowly tightened.
