Chapter 49: Withdrawal Symptoms

Chapter 49: Withdrawal Symptoms

My body feels strange.

“Haa, haak.. Haa..”

I clutched my chest, feeling suffocated, and gasped, hugging the blanket.

It’s nighttime.

This morning, after Scarlett injected me with a new medicine.

After that, we had sex, took care of Oli, petted Lucy.

And after a happy day.

I fell asleep, but.

I was overcome by an unknown, strange sensation.

It wasn’t a feeling of my body being hot or anything like that.

It was rather painful.

“Haa, haa. Geuk..”

Tap, tap.

I took deep breaths, hitting my chest, and the suffocating sensation lessened.

But a strange sense of anxiety washed over me.

Why is this happening? It’s never happened before.

I clenched my hands, which were covered in cold sweat.

Then I hugged Scarlett tightly and panted heavily.

“Hiee, hiee..”

Her scent lessened my anxiety somewhat.

But strangely, I couldn’t fall asleep.

I hugged Scarlett like that, then fell asleep for a moment.

Then woke up again due to anxiety.

I spent the night in a very unstable state.

****

“Young Lady.. Young Lady..”

My hands were trembling.

Strangely, I felt chills all over my body, and I held Scarlett tightly, taking deep breaths.

“Ugh, ugh.. Aah..”

Beside me, Lucy, with a panicked expression, patted my back.

But that wouldn’t help my condition.

Why is this happening?

My body feels too strange.

“Oh my… What’s wrong…? Are you feeling very sick?”

Scarlett looked at me with a slightly worried expression.

Normally, she would panic and bring me medicine, but.

Today, she was strangely calm.

“My body… feels strange… cold, scared… and I can’t… sleep…”

I couldn’t speak properly due to drowsiness and anxiety.

I hugged her tightly and clenched my lips.

If I’m even slightly separated from Scarlett, anxiety overwhelms me, and I can’t function properly.

My anxiety had improved a lot since I started spending time with Lucy.

Could it have returned?

“Alright… wait a moment. I’ll go get some medicine. Lucy? Keep an eye on the Young Lady.”

“Ugh..”

She’s going to get medicine?

I felt both the thrill of receiving the medicine and the fear of being separated from Scarlett.

As I kept hugging her and refusing to let go.

Scarlett gently pushed me away.

“I’ll be back soon, so can you wait a little? I’m sorry.”

If she insists this much, I have no choice.

Feeling my eyes sting, I hugged Lucy tightly.

Although not as warm as Scarlett, her body still brought me some comfort.

Thus, I endured what felt like an eternity, shivering.

Creak-

Finally, when Scarlett entered the room.

Grab!

Overwhelmed with relief, I hugged her tightly.

Scarlett smiled faintly.

“I love you.. Young Lady.. I love you..”

I just hugged Scarlett and whispered my love like a madwoman.

I was afraid she would leave my side again, even for a moment.

It wouldn’t happen, but the strange anxiety in my head gnawed at my already weak mind.

“I love you too, Cecil. I’ll leave the medicine here.”

Prick.

Scarlett looked at me with truly loving eyes.

She brought the needle to the arm where she usually gave injections.

And then the needle slowly pierced my skin.

“Hiee, hieek..”

The stinging sensation made me hug Scarlett even tighter.

Scarlett slowly injected the medicine while patting my back.

Finally, as the medicine entered my body.

“He, heek.. Heee..”

The surrounding scenery began to sparkle.

I no longer felt any anxiety or fear.

An ecstatic and sweet pleasure swirled through my mind, bringing me joy.

I had taken it once yesterday, but.

This was on a completely different level from the medicine I had taken before.

It felt like my entire body was melting from head to toe.

And the drug gently massaged my brain, making me forget all my worries.

It feels good.

“Hee, ehehe.. Heee..”

I collapsed onto the floor, my mouth agape like an idiot.

As a conditioned reflex, I leaked discharge.

“Feels good, doesn’t it?”

She slipped her hand under my armpit and slowly helped me stand up.

Sticky discharge stretched out from between my slightly parted legs.

“Come on… Let’s eat now. I’ll feed you.”

Today’s breakfast is the chef’s special golden fried rice.

It was a little disappointing that it didn’t have the sweet and sour taste from last time.

But the food Scarlett fed me was sweeter and more delicious than any other food.

The meal ended quickly.

“Hehe..”

My stomach filled, and happiness washed over me.

Scarlett barely caught me as I stumbled, about to fall.

“That’s dangerous. You need to be careful.”

“Sorryyy..”

My tongue felt a little loose, probably due to the drug.

I lay down on the bed, my face hazy.

Scarlett, her face flushed red, slowly climbed onto me.

I thought she was going to have sex, so I took off my clothes, but.

“…We’re not having sex today.”

She gently held my arm.

Is something wrong?

My vulva felt itchy and I was going crazy from the drug.

But if Scarlett says no, then it’s no.

With a feeling of great disappointment, I hugged her tightly.

If we can’t be intimate, then just like this.

However, I didn’t know that feeling wouldn’t last long.

****

“Hoo..”

Scarlett barely suppressed her rising lust.

Beside her, Cecil, with her cute face, was sleeping soundly.

Lucy was hugging Cecil and licking her lips.

The room was dark. Somehow, we had managed to get through the night without sex.

Scarlett knew she needed to endure for a few days.

‘Plucking an unripe fruit will only result in bitterness.’

It wasn’t time yet.

Two days ago, she had switched the type of drug from non-addictive to addictive.

On the outside, she seemed to be dazed by the drug and obsessed with me.

But that was simply because the drug’s effects were still lingering.

It was merely a demand to alleviate the addiction.

Scarlett didn’t think she could win Cecil’s heart with something like this.

“…When will you love me?”

Scarlett whispered softly, stroking Cecil’s cheek.

She knew this was a question that wouldn’t reach her.

She had been mistaken all along.

She thought that Cecil whispering “I love you” and allowing her to touch her body.

She thought she was giving her love completely.

But seeing her with that damned fairy, she realized.

From now on, she wouldn’t hesitate anymore.

She would thoroughly break her mind and mold it.

She would make her truly whisper her love to her.

By then, Scarlett would be completely happy.

“Hehe..”

Imagining a smooth future made her feel inexplicably happy.

She hugged Cecil and closed her eyes.

Perhaps because she had given Cecil a little drug before bed, Cecil didn’t wake up.

Scarlett slowly fell asleep.

“…Hieugh.”

In that strange atmosphere, there was one more person awake.

Lucy, pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes and buried her face in Cecil’s back with a pounding heart.

For some reason, Scarlett’s whispered words of love seemed to linger in her ears.

‘That’s not love.’

And Lucy firmly declared in her mind.

She didn’t really know what love was.

But whatever it was, Scarlett’s definition of love wasn’t love.

If she had to pick something that was love, it would be me-

“Achoo!”

As she reached that thought, she suddenly sneezed.

..Let’s just sleep.

No more useless thoughts. The only thing she needed to think about was escaping with Cecil.

Lucy fell asleep like that, smelling Cecil’s scent.

****

Three more days have passed since the second injection.

The daily routine has been the same.

There was no sex, but we ate meals and occasionally went for walks.

But.

My body was not at all like usual.

“Hik, hieek. Hieeeek..”

I curled up my body and trembled, my body cold.

It’s early morning now.

Scarlett went to get medicine and food.

In the meantime, withdrawal symptoms had kicked in.

Lately, I can’t sleep well without the medicine.

Perhaps because we haven’t had sex, my libido is also very high.

And the most serious thing is.

The frequency and intensity of the withdrawal symptoms.

Are gradually worsening.

Creak-

“Young La-dy. Medicine.. Medi-cine.. Quickly..”

As soon as the door opened, I approached Scarlett, supporting myself with trembling arms.

Then, suddenly, my body lost all strength.

Thump!

I collapsed from the bed onto the floor.

“Augh..”

But I didn’t feel any pain or embarrassment.

All I wanted was the medicine.

Scarlett looked momentarily startled, then returned to her prim expression and injected my arm.

“Haa, haa.. Heehee..”

Then, happiness washed over me again, and the withdrawal symptoms subsided.

My body heated up, and my loose tongue lolled out, dripping saliva.

“Augh, ugh, ughh.. Aughhh..”

Lucy, with a dark expression, helped me stand up.

There were countless needle marks on my arm.

But I didn’t care about that anymore.

Rather, with each new needle mark.

The faint reason telling me this was wrong only made me more excited.

“Thanks, Lucy.. Hehe..”

I patted Lucy’s head with my unfocused eyes, grateful.

My gaze momentarily lost focus, then returned.

Lucy seemed quite worried about my condition.

She hugged my body tightly and rubbed her eyes against my leg.

Something moist came out, so she must have been crying while yawning.

Even that looked cute and lovely.

Now that I’ve taken the medicine, I don’t want anything else.

I lay on the bed, hazy, and buried my face in the pillow.

Lately, since I started taking the new medicine, I haven’t felt any anxiety.

When the drug wears off, it’s terrifying and unpleasant, but.

Scarlett always gives me the medicine then.

As long as I have the medicine, I am happy.

At least, that’s what I thought.

“Ughh..”

Lucy doesn’t seem to think so.

Lucy, lying on the bed without moving, stroked me.

The warmth from her small hand felt good.

I wish she would stroke me more.

“Hehe..”

I giggled and pulled Lucy’s waist towards me.

Lucy, her face bright red, looked flustered.

“Ah, ugh..”

But.

Suddenly, a burning sensation enveloped the back of my hand.

Why is this happening? Is it withdrawal symptoms again?

Thinking that, I looked down at the back of my hand.

-Oh no, what is this?!

A very familiar voice, heard constantly.

The voice that popped up whenever I was in mortal danger.

The voice I had longed to hear.

“Huh..?”

It echoed in my head.
