There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!

Chapter 171: Teacher Cat And Mauleon Fully Satisfied

In the late-night mansion, in the room filled with a classical atmosphere, Mauleon sat under the surrounding lights, quietly bowing his head as he watched Teacher Cat write stories on papers for him to read.

The two of them remained silent, yet communicated efficiently.

The quiet room was filled only with the faint scratching sound of the pen moving across the papers and the gentle, steady breaths of Dekan and Cornelia lying on the bed.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

"That's the story so far, meow," Teacher Cat finished writing the last stroke while lying on the table.

Mauleon nodded, expressing a sense of fulfillment and great anticipation for the upcoming story.

He glanced back at Dekan and Cornelia, who were sleeping in bed like babies, and felt relieved.

Mauleon checked on them every now and then to see if they had woken up. He was worried that, while engrossed in the story, Dekan might suddenly appear behind him, staring at him with a terrifying expression. Mauleon had great faith that Dekan could do such a thing.

But fortunately, that didn't happen.

Perhaps because Dekan and Cornelia could sense each other's presence, even in this most dangerous place in the tier 6 Shadow World, they felt unusually at ease.

Mauleon took the pen from Teacher Cat's side, and, following Dekan's example, gently rubbed Teacher Cat's head before writing on the paper.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Cat, I've had a question since the beginning. Why do you add 'meow' at the end of your sentences when you write?"

Mauleon had been puzzled since the night began, but he had held back from asking until now.

When Teacher Cat saw Mauleon's question, it instantly waved its front paws, frantically grabbed the pen from Mauleon's hand, and angrily scratched out a few words on the paper.

"Meow meow meow! Mind your own business! It's my habit, meow!"

Teacher Cat forcefully wrote these words on the paper, seeming quite annoyed by Mauleon's questioning.

Mauleon chuckled helplessly, wanting to pat Teacher Cat's head again. But this time, Teacher Cat dodged, refusing to let him touch it.

Just as they were making some noise, Dekan rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Taking advantage of Dekan's sleepy state, Mauleon and Teacher Cat quickly reached an agreement and hid all the papers on the table.

"?"

Dekan looked at them, showing a puzzled look.

“Were you just criticizing me?”

Dekan stared at the desk with a hint of disdain, speaking softly.

Teacher Cat and Mauleon both shook their heads in unison.

“Heh.”

Judging by their slightly exaggerated reactions, Dekan could be sure that they had just been criticizing him.

However, Dekan didn't mind.

As long as they weren't gossiping about him like little girls, he didn't really care.

No longer paying attention to the annoying cat and the sly old fox, Dekan turned his gaze to the clock hanging on the wall.

Although it was still a bit early, it wasn't far from midnight.

“So, want to switch shifts?”

Mauleon asked softly.

Dekan shook his head. Looking at the still sleeping Cornelia.

“Let her sleep a little longer.”

"!"

Seeing Dekan's gentle expression and tone, Mauleon couldn't help but pick up Teacher Cat. Teacher Cat was extremely excited and waving its limbs around.

"..."

Dekan frowned as he looked at this odd pair of human and cat.

Are you trying to express opposition or agreement?

And are you happy or sad?

Ever since Teacher Cat and Mauleon became familiar with each other, Dekan sometimes felt as if they were acting strangely, as if they were both seriously ill.

Dekan: “You guys really have a bias against me, huh?”

Teacher Cat: “No meow.”

Mauleon: “How could that be? Those who have a bias against you are either in the underworld already or probably in line.”

...

The three of them chatted quietly for a while. Soon, Dekan saw that it was about time.

He walked to the other side of the bed and gently patted Cornelia's slender shoulder.

"... "

Cornelia opened her eyes. She appeared as if she could enter a battle-ready state at any moment.

However, when she saw Dekan's expression, she immediately relaxed.

Even a bit of drowsiness seemed to return.

“Go to the sofa, if you're sleepy, you can rest a bit more,” Dekan said.

Cornelia nodded, quickly climbed out of bed, and then sat quietly on the sofa.

The latter half of the night.

Mauleon and Teacher Cat quickly lay down to rest.

Dekan and Cornelia, on the other hand, sat together on the sofa to keep watch.

Actually, Mauleon and Teacher Cat were at a bit of a disadvantage.

Afterall, it was uncertain when Countess Lysilina might come knocking in the latter half of the night and report to them on the progress of the mission.

However, Teacher Cat was originally a night owl and could also laze around in Dekan's shadow during the day.

Since Mauleon was unusually kind-hearted tonight, even though Dekan didn't know the reason, he didn't bother to inquire.

These two were just trying to gossip about him together.

Time passed minute by minute.

The room was quieter than before.

Cornelia seemed a bit tired. Having just woken up in the middle of the night, she easily picked up the sleepiness from before.

She leaned against the sofa and started dozing off. Gradually, she started leaning her head against Dekan's shoulder.

Dekan just sat quietly, unmoving like a chess piece.

He looked at the painting on the wall of the room, pondering something.

"..."

It seemed like an intuition.

Dekan always felt as if someone's eyes were on him.

He glanced around the room, quickly noticing something.

Mauleon and Teacher Cat lying on the bed were sneakily watching him!

Dekan: “You two aren't sleeping?”

Teacher Cat and Mauleon: “In the process of falling asleep.”

Dekan: "... fuckin’ retards."

...

A grayish light appeared from outside the window.

Although the sky was still dim and heavy, it already heralded the arrival of dawn.

"Knock, knock."

Finally, the bedroom door was knocked.

Soon after, the voice of Countess Lysilina came from outside the door:

"Milord Marquess, I apologize that we only caught three people tonight."

Not long after, Mauleon, lying on the bed, opened his eyes. But he showed no intention of getting up.

He replied, "You've done well. It's almost dawn, go rest. Let your attendants take mine to interrogate those humans."

Sitting on the sofa and hearing Mauleon's voice, Dekan couldn't help but furrow his brow. He stared at the lying Mauleon.

Mauleon had already closed his eyes, continuing to sleep.

What do you mean?

You're not planning to go?

You want to continue hiding in the room to rest and sleep, while leaving the work to me and Cornelia?

Although it was reasonable for the noble vampire marquess to avoid activity during the day, Dekan felt like Mauleon was exploiting the labor of his teammates.

This guy needs a reality check!

He deserved to be beaten to death by his father!
