The Mysterious Black Magician

"Big Bro, Big Sis, please don't bring us to the orphanage," with worries in their eyes, the two kids said their, please.

"Ah, no no no! We won't go there," Rea said. She was thinking that these two must have had a bad experience there for them to be so afraid to go there. Or maybe they heard some bad rumors about the orphanage.

"By the way, where are your parents?" Seeing that the first thing they worried about was to be sent to the orphanage, these two must be orphans. But Rea had to ask somehow.

"W-We don't have any… they passed away (Hic!) when they tried to protect us from some bad people," the girl kid said with tears.

"Ah—eh...erm…!" Rea was flustered.. She wasn't an expert in dealing with kids! She glanced at the person beside her but the person was seemingly gazing into something. She noticed that he was staring at the kid's chest part.

'This idiot!'

"Hey! Are you into kids?!" Her question alarmed him and thought, 'what is this girl talking about?'

He noticed that he was staring into the kid's chest. But it wasn't like he liked their chest. In truth, he noticed something, like a tattoo, or is it an insignia? Thanks to the wind pressure, it made their tattered clothes flutter and had him take a glimpse at them.

The kids tightly hugged their bodies after hearing Rea's words, while warily looking at him like he was some kind of pedophile.

He immediately darted his eyes to her. "That's impossible," he said in a calm voice while scratching his face as he always does whenever he finds himself in an odd situation. At the same time, he showed a can't be helped face. A bead of sweat appeared at the back of his head.

He sighed.

Yman thought that he needed to clear this issue before it sullies his name and become a troublesome misunderstanding in the future. But even for him, this awkward situation wasn't easy to deal with. "I'm into someone like Miss Rea," he said while holding his bangs that were trying to block his eyes because of the wind.

But in Rea's point of view, he looks like he was purposely seducing her!

This the only solution he managed to find in his mind to divert the issue. But after saying it, Rea immediately turned bashful, and fumes coming out on top of her head.

"Wha-Wha-Wha-whaaaa!!!" She shouted like a broken robot.

"!!"

<Partner, based on my data, you casually said what you shouldn't say to a girl.>

He heard his partner's voice.

'Ehh? What do you mean?'

<You didn't know that you sounded like you're asking Miss Rea for a date, or perhaps proposing your admiration towards her!>

'What?' Yman was late to realize.

His mouth was hung open upon realizing he just made a blunder of himself.

Beads of sweats coming out on the back of his head as he was thinking of how to deal with this another troublesome misunderstanding.

Rea was on the verge of collapse. Her mind was in a mess! 

An idea came to his mind, "I mean, I admired girls as beautiful as Miss Rea," he added so he wouldn't sound like he specifically meant her from his words earlier and telling her that he liked beautiful girls in general.

<Tsk, tsk, oh boy, you are a loser with girls feelings, Partner.>

For some reason, he heard Sistela's disappointed voice while seemingly shaking her head. She sounded like a grown-up woman though.

Right after he heard his Deity's words,

"What a discontent person, I can't believe that you already thought of adding another woman even before I accepted you as my lover!"

"Ehhh?" Yamn was taken aback. 'How come it turned out like this?' He thought.

She shouted angrily at him while raising her brows. Her eyes were exuding fire and her face was as red as a tomato.

In his eyes, she looks like a certain person when she thought he had a relationship with her friend at that time when they went into the smithing shop.

Yman realized that the situation became messier. Whatever he would say just added to the mess.

'Uhm, My Deity, what should I do?!' He finally asked for guidance from his partner. 

<Ahem, in this kind of situation that luck isn't on your side, shutting one's mouth was the best solution before the misunderstanding becomes unredeemable.>

'She sounded like a lawyer,' he thought.

"Oh-uhm, Big sis, where… are we going?"

Rea's over-thinking stopped when they heard the girl kid.

"Ah— ah, I- I have a farm in the Sunshine Village. Do you want to work with me?"

"Eh? Wasn't that against the law?" Crimson said with doubt.

"Ah? No no no, I won't give them heavy jobs. Just help my people feeding the chickens and such."

"Hm," Crimson pondered. "Do you have a free barn or stable?" He asked.

"Mhm! They can stay there," Rea said while glancing at the kids.

"Really Big Sis?!" Moi exclaimed.

"Big Sis can I stay there too?!"

"....."

"....."

"....."

The three went silent when Crimson asked like a kid.

"Ahaha…" Rea forced a laugh while scratching her face, she copied what Crimson always did. "What do you mean Mr. Crimson sir?"

"Eh?" Crimson wondered why she sounded like his employee. Well this is good, "you see, I don't have a house… and I already spent most of the advance payment. So I'm kinda broke now, ahaha," he laughed.

"....."

Rea went into silence once again. Then she opened her mouth with her eyes trembling.

"How shameless this person was when he told his affection towards me a while ago even though he doesn't have a house and money.

If ever I agreed to his love, we started to date like a usual happy couple, and because he was a poor man, I will take care of the expenses. But since our affection was too strong, there's nothing I can do. Every day is like a blossoming flower. We will take advantage of our little time amid our busy day.

Then we decide to marry.

The first night is happy. But… but what if he get addicted?

Noooo! What if this man just wanted me for his pleasure later on?

Every night he will be calling me to our room to satisfy his lust. Then our family will grow bigger. Then I become thin and lose my sex-appeal. Or my beauty will fade if I become plump.

No no no! He will find me unattractive anymore. Pretty much he will start to find another beautiful woman to satisfy himself. While he was busy with his woman, I'm alone tending to our big family…"

Did he wish for me to raise our family alone?

 A neglectful husband! Taking advantage of his wife's affection!"

Yman and the two kids had their mouths wide open when Rea started to mumble to herself.

"....."

"....."

"....."

<.....>

Even Sistela went silent too.

'What kind of story is this?' Yman asked inwardly. 'Please someone shut her mouth!' He added.

<The premier is gold!> Sistela commented.

'The following chapter is full of drama!' He followed.

<But it started to get darker!>

'Wait some kids are listening! Please censor it!'

<But the cliffhanger is killing me!>

(Rea wasn't finish though.)

"Then, then, then… I started to plot against him. To catch him in the act with his woman! After that… I will stab both of them… End!"

(0…..0)

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Rea exploded in embarrassment when she realized she voiced out her thoughts.

I HATE YOU!

(Slap!)

"Ouch!?" An unexpected slap landed on his face.

<Isn't it a whole of spoiler arc?!>

<Wait, did she switch profession from a painter to a writer!?>

<Imma record it!>

<But the ending was so dark!>

"No! The ending was so painful, I got slapped, you know!" He whined.

<Is Miss Rea a ___dere wife?>

(A/N: Please fill in the blank. It's a chapter and also a filler. Sorry I've got a fever.)
