It was the consequence of using his power recklessly while searching desperately for the missing Irene during the incense ritual.

Usually, taking a day or two to rest would bring him back, but not returning for a week seemed quite excessive.

However, he had thoroughly searched the entire territory.

“…”

Squeezing his temples, Kallos looked at the hole in the barrier again.

If there was only this one hole in the barrier, he would have repaired it while he was at it.
The problem was that this wasn’t the only hole in the barrier.

He had identified at least five, and no one knew how many more would be found in the future.

Since only Kallos, the lord of the underground, could see this barrier, he had to search for them himself.

First of all, how much strength would it take to repair all the holes he had found now?

Would it be insufficient to rely on his right leg?

“…”

Waiting for his strength to return was impossible because no one knew when it would happen.

However, leaving the holes in the barrier as they were was not an option.

Should he risk it and just repair the barrier, even if it was a bit dangerous?

“How about getting the lady’s help?”

Kallos, who was seriously contemplating, turned to Dewey’s suggestion.

“Getting help from that woman?”

Dewey nodded vigorously in response.

“Yes. Perhaps new flowers will bloom, and if you get the lady’s help, won’t your left leg return to normal?”

Kallos looked down at his left leg again. The translucent leg covered by the pants caught his eye.

As Dewey suggested, with Irene’s help, his left leg would quickly return to its original state, just as it had been so far.

To be precise, it wasn’t getting help; it was unilaterally taking away.

He didn’t tell Irene what he would take or whether it was okay to take anything.

However, even though Kallos knew a way to quickly return his translucent left leg to normal, he didn’t execute the plan because he didn’t feel like it.

Moreover, Irene had been unconscious for over a week because of the new flower that bloomed.

…If he took it away, she might never open her eyes forever.

So, he hesitated to bring it, and he never expected to find so many holes like this.

Seeing Kallos’s troubled expression, Dewey cautiously added.

“If you feel uncomfortable taking too much, how about bringing only a little? Then it shouldn’t burden the lady’s body too much…”

Kallos turned to Dewey and asked.

“How much is not burdensome for the body?”

“What?”

“I thought this would be a small amount, but if it burdens her body, and if she can never wake up forever because of it…”

“…”

Taken aback by the pouring questions, Dewey closed his mouth.

Kallos, as if annoyed by the questions, sighed and looked back at the barrier.

“I have no intention of embracing future anxiety just to solve the problem in front of me immediately. So, don’t talk about such things until that woman wakes up.”

Then, how will you repair the barrier in the meantime?

What about the left leg?

Unable to walk due to the transparency of the left leg, he had created a fake leg with shadows…

While Dewey’s mind was flooded with all sorts of questions, he nodded, swallowing them all.

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

Kallos fumbled only the barrier visible to his eyes.
“Since this hole here is the largest, let’s start repairing from here. I’ll observe the situation and decide whether to repair the rest hastily.”

I enjoyed the meal.

Irene, reveling in the fullness she hadn’t felt in a long time, leaned back on the sofa arm.

She was so full that she could skip not only lunch but also dinner.

As Jesse cleared the dishes, he asked, “Would you like to take a bath, Miss?”

Oh, come to think of it, she hasn’t bathed for over a week.

Although her body was clean, there was still a lingering feeling of discomfort from not being able to wash.

“Yes, I’d like to.”

“Then I’ll prepare the bathwater. You still don’t need public bath products, right?”

Irene nodded.

“All right. Then, while you’re bathing, I’ll go tell the master that you’ve woken up… Oh, by the way, he’s not in the castle right now.”

Remembering belatedly that Kallos had gone out to check the barrier, Jesse let out a short sigh.

On the other hand, Irene, who knew nothing, asked in confusion, “Where did he go?”

“Yes. He went to inspect the damage situation of the territory.”

Jesse skillfully lied as he put the empty plate on the tray.

His earlier statement about Irene not waking up because she had been poisoned by the sleeping toxin on the spider web was also a lie.

He couldn’t say that it was because a new flower had bloomed on Irene’s flower branch tattoo.

Anticipating that Irene would ask such questions when she woke up, he had prepared excuses in advance.

“I’ll tell you about it during lunchtime.”

It’s 10 a.m. now, so he’ll be back around 12 p.m.

Looking at the desk clock and estimating Kallos’s return time, Irene casually said, “May I go out to meet him?.”

The hands that were diligently wiping the table stopped.

What am I saying right now?

Irene was also surprised and covered her mouth with both hands.

An awkward silence filled the bedroom.

When Jesse looked at her with a strange expression, Irene unintentionally explained herself.

“It didn’t mean anything. I just thought it would be better to show directly that it’s okay rather than relying on Jesse to convey it…”

Staring at Irene, who was awkwardly making excuses, Jesse’s eyes softened.

“That’s a good idea, Miss.”

“Really?”

“Yes. You’ve come up with a really good idea.”

Irene’s cheeks blushed at the unexpected praise.

“Then I’ll prepare you nicely, so you can go out to meet His Excellency the Duke.”

My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)

A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage

Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.

In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.

As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.

Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.

She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.

“Brother, come home with me.”
