Chapter 139: [Purification] magic

After 20 minutes, Zick went to Varine's room to wake her up. Like always, he had a hat on his head hiding the black horns. 

Zick thought to himself: 'I am already turning into a babysitter, huh?'

Walking in front of Varine who was sleeping peacefully, Zick pinched her cheek without hesitation. He made sure to not apply too much as to rip her cheeks off. 

"Ah!" Varine got up, holding her right cheek with red eyes. 

"From tomorrow onwards, If you don't wake up early in the morning, no food for you, and if you are not able to follow my instructions through, I will leave you behind," Zick spoke with a little angered look, putting pressure on Varine's mind. 

"...yes," Varine answered without much change in her expression. 

It was not weird for Zick to berate Varine like this. Instead, it seemed natural. 

Right now, Zick looked like someone who wanted to make Varine give up and leave his side.
