61 – Drowning (9)

A metaphorical phrase that only goes through people who know what’s going on.

A metaphorical and, above all, straightforward words.

“Oh no, that’s… Just, I’m curious.”

It must have been an intention to say it around, but in reality it stretched straighter than anything else and came towards me.

Innis just twisted her hair to kill the awkwardness.

“Really, yes. It doesn’t mean much. Just. That, yes. I’m just asking out of curiosity. Right now…”

Are you sleepy?

Of course, I’m sleepy.

I want to throw myself on that bed right now, hug Innis’ soft body, and lose it to the beast.

“Surely sleepy.”

But I can’t.

Of course, Innis is happy.

It doesn’t matter whether there is a hint of insincerity under the words, or a tendency to escape from the now heavy reality.

It’s a favor after all. I am just happy to receive it.

However, there were only people who needed more sleep than me.

It is not efficient for me to take a break first.

There are people like me who don’t have infinite stamina, and who are afflicted with tasks without being able to solve a long trip.

I am relatively used to not sleeping. For now, it’s right to let someone in a hurry get drunk, and then I take a break later.

Yes. This is right

I lowered her gaze to look at her, intending to turn down her favors from Ennis.

Suddenly, that ordinary bed mattress caught my eye. An ordinary, commonplace bed. A common bed in a medical room. Therefore, you can vividly know the tactile sensation. That softness, that moderately hard feeling that stably supports your body.

“…Shall we sleep for thirty minutes?”

Is the human heart that easy?

Rational thinking and immediate attraction are different. Desire always sits on rationality and subsides below consciousness.

I’m a very human person, so I can’t help but lose to this kind of desire.

Today’s whim should be to give in to temptation.

“Innis, I think I’m sleepy.”

I sat back on the bed. As the bed moved, Innis trembled for a moment.

I quietly beckoned her and called her.

Inis approached merrily and sat down next to me. She met her eyes and mine.

The cheeks were the color of the evening sunset, which did not go well with the early morning.

And the eyes that were burning even thicker than those cheeks were wet and swaying.

I attached myself to Innis even more.

I brought her body close enough that I couldn’t fit a fist between her shoulders, and put my hand on her thigh.

The thighs, which seemed to be soft, were firmer and more elastic than I thought, whether it was because of the fabric or because of the exercise.

“Huh…”

Innis’s body trembled.

“Now, lock it…!”

Not only did Innis stiffen her body, but even her tongue,

I caressed her lips with her thumb, then put the rest of her fingers on her smooth neck. Her blonde hair caught on her fingers like a ball of thread.

Perhaps it was because she was tired recently, she was a bit crumbly, but she still had her luster, as if she hadn’t lost all of her blessed beauty.

“This, this bar? I didn’t mean to do this, but… That…”

Ennis couldn’t face me any longer, so she tried hard to turn her eyes toward her wall. I tried to turn her head, but she couldn’t because my hand was blocking it.

With a smile on my face, I slowly brought my eyes closer to Inis.

To swallow her breath, to get drunk.

Let’s get our lips close like that.

“Oh, no wait! Me, I’m fine! I don’t have to! I don’t have to…”

Innis covered my lips with the palm of his hand and pushed me away.

Then he showed gibberish that was difficult to describe. I moved away again as far as I had come and sat down on the bed in a discreet position.

“…? No, I’m not okay.”

No wait. Where is the giving and taking away?

“No, this is what it is. That, that…”

Innis, perhaps surprised by his reaction, took a firm posture with his hands on his thighs and clenched fists.

Those fists were trembling as if they had put too much energy into them, and their gazes looked at me as if embodying the word restlessness, then let go.

Anxiety crept into his eyes. It wasn’t disbelief.

“That… You know… I’m sorry. It’s not that I hate you. It’s just that I’ve been so nervous and nervous since I’ve been doing it for the first time in a while…”

Well, this must be a normal reaction. It is abnormal for people to touch each other’s lips and not feel repulsive.

No matter how special the relationship between me and her is, it would be awkward.

“You know what… I lied to you about one thing.”

I could tell without telling you.

Just looking at it, it’s obvious that he was so considerate of me that he tried hard not to reveal and hide his feelings that he didn’t want to kiss me. How sad it is to even lie like that.

For a lesbian to kiss a man, if he dares to substitute me for understanding, it must be the same feeling as kissing a man.

Thinking of that, the feeling of Innis overcoming this terrible reluctance and being considerate of me came closer to me. Could it be an angel

Innis’s admirable heart only aggravated my sense of guilt.

“…I see.”

I guess I should stop sleeping.

“I’m sorry Innis. I guess I put too much pressure on you.”

“Huh? Huh? …Why is that?”

“You don’t have to say anything. I can understand your feelings.”

I feel repulsive, so even if I force this, it’s useless.

Even if she forcefully kisses her lips, if she doesn’t transmit magic to me or channel it, then my actions won’t have any meaning.

Still, I couldn’t shake off all my regrets, so I woke up in an aesthetic place.

I’m still feeling restless, but thinking that even Innis put a strange burden on me makes me feel like I’m going crazy with a sense of shame.

As I stood up and slept, Innis looked at me with eyes trembling even more than his clenched fists earlier.

Still, so that Innis wouldn’t be too disappointed, I added consolation.

“I’m really fine. Just enough sleep. Actually, yesterday, no, now. Anyway, it’s been a while since Lilia put me to sleep.”

“Uh, huh…? What? No, wait. Iva, what?”

“Let’s do it later. Later.”

“Wait, wait, wait…”

Ignoring Innis’s words, I closed the door and stepped outside.

Looking back, now was not the time to succumb to the lure of sleep.

I can only give up on sleep. It is always accustomed to suppressing desire. I wish it was like that today.

Stupidly, I was just fooling around with Innis’ favor.

They say the devil is coming. Also, a demon capable of submerging all the land under this river.

To prove that demon is not me, I must now kill the demon that will come.

So that this city with the sound of water can be quiet, so that I can let people know that I am a human being.

The dawn air passing into the morning was exceptionally cold.

**

Innis stared intently at the door that Iba had left. Wouldn’t Iba come back after opening that door? It was an eager gaze with such expectations.

Innis was in the middle of regretting, holding back tears. Why do you have to take it out then? He blew that good opportunity himself. This fool. Idiot! Crazy b*tch!

I just patted the innocent pillow while chewing on those curse words.

But it can’t be helped. I was so nervous. It is the night and the dawn of a reunion after half a year, the first time in half a year.

The temperature of the hand that touched his thigh was still slightly cold, and the bloodless skin color and decadent eyes were still the same. The heart supplied blood as hot as the flames of a furnace, and the heated body made his body temperature more distinctive.

So, he felt so vivid that he, who had always shimmered only in dreams, was rather unrealistic.

I was really surprised when the lips approached. If he hadn’t been forced to stop, his heart beat so fast that he might have passed out.

“Really… It only took a while…”

The reason Innis seduced Iva was simple. In fact, he was not considerate of Iba. She is not benevolent It was only what the sticky selfishness, dormant beneath the altruism and sense of duty to protect people, ordered that.

Innis was exhausted now. Loneliness comes more heavily to a person who has become alone after being with others than to a person who has been alone for the rest of his life.

She The poison of solitude that spread in the air around her was felt more strongly in the city of Solusio.

It felt like something sharp was pricking his throat.

Still, the solitude was tolerable.

This is because the sense of mission was greater. She was able to hold on because she felt proud that she was protecting people.

However, the incident in Whitrum was just frustrating.

A letter you don’t know who sent it, a demon you don’t know when it will come, a demon you don’t know how strong it might be.

The criminal who thought he had caught it, and the case he thought he had solved became an even bigger burden on his shoulders.

Because of the high expectations she once had, it hurt more when she fell.

Of course it didn’t break.

Still, it’s true that I was hurt.

So, I wanted to be comforted a little.

“I just need to calm down a bit. It’s true… Iba is an idiot.”

The lie Innis was about to tell was extremely simple.

Actually, she wasn’t interested in how much Eva slept.

To be precise, it’s not that she doesn’t exist at all, it’s just that her priority has been pushed back.

“How could she say she just wanted to be kissed…”

Innis hugged her pillow, then she threw herself back.

She only felt awkward about the bed that was suitable for sleeping alone, and the hard yet soft texture.

**

As Eva walked down the hallway, she pondered over the incident. This is an incident not mentioned in the original story. It is unknown if Lilia simply did not travel to Whitrum at this time or if it was simply an event that never happened.

Basically, in the original work centered on travel healing, it was just one of the cities in charge of one of the minor episodes.

Lilia accidentally picked up a piece of paper floating in the river and read it. It was a map that said the treasure was hidden. Lilia was blinded by this and wandered around the city as instructed, and eventually found the treasure.

The contents of the treasure were a handwritten letter from one person. A letter left by a lover who had no choice but to let go of each other a few years ago. As it turns out, the map she had sent down the river was sent because she wanted to forget her ex-lover and erase them when the remaining lover met her spouse again.

It was just such a small episode.

…No wait, a letter?

A city where suspicious ships gather, a custom of sending secrets down a river to ask for secrets, a heartfelt letter, a river where countless letters and maps have passed, magic that summons demons. A demon coming on a train. A demon that sinks the land below the river.

If you look at each one separately, the words that are just simple characteristics form a certain meaning when they meet.

The river holds a secret. She harbors something suspicious inside herself. People’s notions came together to become such beings.

If this land itself is treated as something suspicious like that.

So, if the land sinks below the river.

Why didn’t I think of this until now?

This simple idea, this demon descending method that has already been explained once in the original work.

“I’ll ask when I see you later.”

Of course, I can’t be sure yet. We need to find more evidence in the future.

Still, since I had obtained a strong hypothesis, my steps became lighter.

That’s how I returned to the cellar where Morbe was being held.

It was to call on someone blessed to take a break for me.

Excitedly, I moved her feet and went inside.

“What?”

“Hmm…”

“Shhh…! Please be quiet.”

She looked up at Lillia, who was sleeping soundly, with her body snuggled up in Lila’s lap.

No, he’s gone.
