Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch36 Take a break

It's has been half a day since everything happened. From the dinner gathering to the time they need to find the lost sleeping beauty. It has been terrifying when they found the girl is inner wounded to a point to have a death wish after awaken. When Velvet was committing suicide, everyone, who knows her in this era, took it seriously. They knew she made serious mistakes, but they also knew she wanted to fix them, and they don't want her to die. Fortunately, things go alright that they managed to stop the girl from doing silly things. When Sorey successfully persuaded Velvet to change her mind, they are glad about that.

However, Velvet Crowe is still almost a stranger to most of the people here. There are people gonna care about what kind of person Velvet actually is, like Mikleo as the Sorey's bro. To him, there is still a possibility that Velvet will hurt Sorey when she has possessed the title of Lord of Calamity in the past. Even after realized part of the truth in the memory, he is not able to accept Velvet that smoothly like Sorey but tends to doubt things. To say the truth, accepting things as smooth as Sorey does is not normal. Mikleo thinks Sorey accepts Velvet too fast to a degree that out of human standard and people will call him a saint. That's from his purity, nature he possessed to be a Shepherd. Yet this may be viewed as abnormal in human society, so he is worrying Sorey after be more familiar with human society. What will Sorey face when the girl who was a Lord of Calamity getting close to him? Zaveid said he still sees nature of humanity from Velvet but Mikleo doubts, how can a person remain normal after all those things happened? If she is really a normal human, what she actually sees Sorey as? There are too many questions inside Mikleo, Edna may laugh that he is thinking too much.

It may be a bit rude, Mikleo just forgets to stop himself from eavesdropping the conversation between Velvet and Sorey. Edna doesn't stop him, she smirks and silently watching him, the other people are then doing the same thing together in nature of curiosity. The curiosity to Velvet is unavoidably raised even after seeing part of her memory and hearing her from her friends here. Inside the room, it should be a touching moment to hear someone accept and forgive herself after confessed everything, at least, the atmosphere is not bad, but guess the atmosphere will be ruined soon anyway.

"......So, how long are you guys gonna listen outside the door?" Bad time, Velvet just aware of the sound outside the door and she knows there are people outside the room. She is not even angry with it since she knew she will be doubted as she was a Lord of Calamity. It is normal for everyone wants to know about her if they are staying together for a period.

As she said, a bunch of people burst to fall from the door opening. Mikleo is at the buttom trying to catch something when falling, Lailah is the one behind Mikleo, she falls while keeping the posture of eavesdropping and Zaveid the one behind two seraphim there who trying to balance himself with the wall as support. Edna, Alpha and Beta silently walk behind them.

As a person had been so close to death to meet the Reaper, Velvet sighed with a smile when she sees that scene, but she doesn't hate that. She is ready to meet them.

"When did you know?"

"Just noticed."

"What a ruin of atmosphere...."

"True..."

"So........(GUUU----)" When Velvet just wanted to ask about things, her stomach growling honestly to express its 3-day emptiness.

"ah......." Velvet blushed immediately for the embarrassing moment. Guess Maotelus blessing finally faded away to sustain her body strength under hunger.

"Haha.....Seems like someone is hungry~" Sorey teased, then his stomach growls too.

"Not only one huh?" Mikleo teased.
