Episode 340. Wolf and Woman (2) (Illustration Added)

Just moments ago, Liliana, who had been sniffling, started urging me on before her tear tracks had even dried.

“Get out quickly. Go find Scarlet!”

“Now? Can’t I go later?”

Thump- Thump-

Liliana quietly raised her fist at my answer.

Seriously, why is she punching me? It hurts.

I blocked Liliana’s fists hitting my chest and pondered.

Scarlet.

Come to think of it, Scarlet and I had a good vibe ruined several times.

Maybe if it were another heroine, I would have already prepared a countermeasure….

Scarlet’s image was so cool that I might not have paid attention.

“Scarlet will understand. It’s okay.”

“… Seriously, how can someone who knows nothing about a woman’s heart date women?”

“Do you have to say that much?”

I’m also someone who gets hurt.

That much is a fatal wound.

To even hear such an evaluation from a succubus, did I live my life in vain?

“Scarlet worked so hard behind the scenes. You shouldn’t do that!”

“… I know that too.”

Scarlet helped me a lot, which I obviously know.

Without her, how I would have solved things is a headache-inducing thought, and it’s not just one or two.

‘A woman’s heart….’

There’s nothing as difficult as that.

Come to think of it, Scarlet is like that too.

When we first met, she climbed the wall to follow me, and I thought, ‘What kind of crazy bitch is this?’

As soon as we signed the contract, she was thinking of betraying me; she was a truly strange woman.

Then, after receiving training from Liliana, she mellowed out, and after we became closer, she gradually changed to a cool image.

But thinking about the conversations we had today… she’s actually more of a tsundere.

No, it doesn’t quite feel like tsundere.

Rather than tsundere, acting cool? Pretending not to care?

Should I call it cool-dere?

While appearing cool, she occasionally reveals her emotions.

“Aigoo, you idiot….”

Liliana, who was nestled in my arms, seemed frustrated by my aggrieved expression, and repeatedly smacked my chest with her forehead.

“It hurts. Hey, it hurts.”

“You deserve to hurt more! You bad guy!”

“… Today, I intended to stay with you, Liliana.”

I felt the chest pain starting to ache and pulled Liliana’s head into an embrace.

Fortunately, Liliana’s anxiety from earlier had disappeared, but just in case, I planned to stay with her tonight.

Liliana earlier looked too unstable.

“Ugh… no.”

Liliana rubbed her face on my clothes to wipe away her tear stains and looked up at me.

Her bloodshot eyes remained, but her expression had returned to the bright Liliana.

“I’m okay now. Go to Scarlet.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I’ve already gotten my strength back.”

Squeeze-

Liliana wrapped her legs around my waist and squeezed my body tightly.

Feeling the pleasant pressure and warmth, I also placed my hands on Liliana’s waist.

“A strong man can have many women, but he must also have responsibility.”

“Yeah.”

“When you’re with them, whisper ‘I love you’ and hold them tight.”

“Liliana. You know how I feel, right? I love you.”

“Well done. It’s so much better when you do that. Women can be satisfied with that. Make sure you say it first next time.”

Liliana, wearing a satisfied smile, patted my head as if praising a child.

I was always the one being patted, but this isn’t bad either.

Anything a pretty woman does is good.

I smiled and looked at Liliana.

“I’ll be back soon. Liliana.”

“For your information, I can handle a threesome too.”

“….”

I watched Liliana giggle and left the room.

Knock- knock-

In front of Scarlet’s room, I knocked on the door.

“Scarlet. It’s me. Are you in?”

Rustle- rustle-

Inside the room, I sensed movement.

Actually, I could feel Scarlet’s magic from inside the room, so I knew she was inside.

But I had to enter politely.

“Is no one there? Scarlet? I’m opening the door?”

“Wait, just a moment. No, just a moment. I’m inside.”

Since there was only rustling and no answer, I reached for the doorknob, and only then did she reply.

Scarlet must not have expected me to come; her voice was quite flustered.

After a rattling sound was heard.

From the inside, Scarlet pulled the doorknob.

“Scarlet. You were here.”

“What is it? Did your conversation with Liliana-nim end?”

“Yeah. Ah, can I come in?”

“Uh, uh… yes.”

Scarlet had her usual expression, but after looking at her for a while, I felt like I could understand it.

A slightly displeased look.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Scarlet]

• [ Affection: 90 ]

• [ Lust: 75 ]

• [ Appetite: 40 ]

• [ Fatigue: 60 ]

Current Status: What happened to Liliana-nim? Why is this person here already? Did he perhaps abandon Liliana-nim?

Scarlet, as always, was cursing me in her mind.

Right. Curse me all you want.

“Were you just about to leave?”

“… Yes.”

I checked Scarlet’s clothes.

Scarlet was dressed in going-out clothes, which weren’t clothes for staying home, so she was probably planning to go out.

“Going back to the dorm?”

“Yes. … Weren’t you going to see Liliana-nim, Hoyeon-nim?”

“I finished quickly. I came to talk to you.”

Thump-

I slumped onto Scarlet’s bed.

“Haa, why did you come? You should be comforting Liliana-nim more.”

“… I came to see you. Scarlet. I’m sorry for causing you trouble in many ways.”

These kids are all telling me to comfort each other.

When good people meet, this is what happens.

And then, everything festers inside.

People should live selfishly.

“Suddenly?”

“Yeah. I didn’t consider your position. You must have been so flustered. After I went out of my way to save you, you were doing strange things.”

“… You do know, I see.”

“Anyway, don’t worry about Liliana. After calming her down and putting her to sleep, I thought of you, so I came right away.”

I smiled and looked at Scarlet.

Tip-tap- Scarlet, who approached me, stared intently at my face, then shook her head.

“Lies. Liliana-nim told you to, didn’t she?”

“… What are you talking about? Why bring Liliana-nim into this.”

“Hoyeon-nim wouldn’t be this sensible. Besides, putting Liliana-nim to sleep… unless you fell asleep together after having sex, that wouldn’t happen.”

“What kind of treatment am I getting from you…?”

“Quite the scumbag.”

“Oh really? Earlier, you had the guts and confidence to handle any situation….”

“… Be quiet.”

Scarlet seemed embarrassed, blushed, and clenched her fists tightly.

If I said more, I’d get hit with those.

Well, I didn’t come here to tease you.

“Scarlet.”

“Yes.”

Scarlet was looking at me.

Her snow-white skin and blonde hair reaching below her waist.

Her slightly disappointed-looking eyes.

I could roughly guess what she thought of me.

And why she was disappointed.

“I’m sorry for showing you an uncharacteristic side.”

“You don’t need to apologize to me. Not if Liliana-nim said it was okay.”

“No, I cherish you as much as Liliana. For all the help you’ve given me, for saving me, and for bringing me to my senses, thank you for everything. Without you, I wouldn’t have gotten this far.”

“… Did you come here to embarrass me?”

I got up from the bed and stood in front of Scarlet.

Scarlet, who was slightly shorter than me, naturally looked up at me.

“You said it yourself. ‘Are you going to treat me like a 3-minute curry?’ I wanted to let you know that I have no intention of doing so.”

“Well, I’m certainly grateful for that.”

“Just in case that feeling remained.”

“… I was just saying that. Still, it feels good that you listened to me.”

“Yeah. Just like you said… I’m going to be a little greedy. How I’ll handle the aftermath, I’ll figure that out after I start something.”

“What does that mean….”

“Scarlet Light.”

I called her name and met her eyes directly.

Just as Scarlet always said.

I should take the lead.

Of course, I don’t know how much of a lead the man she desires provides.

But Scarlet was the one who told me to act like a man and make the first move.

She wouldn’t complain.

“I like you. Scarlet Light. Be mine.”

“… Are you saying that right now?”

“I wanted to say it immediately. Rejection is not an option. Scarlet.”

“Haa….”

Hearing my words, Scarlet, as if contemplating something, placed a hand on her forehead and waved her head back and forth.

She looked like a chef pondering how to cook this guy.

It wasn’t a cool or atmospheric confession, but I put my genuine feelings into it.

After quietly mumbling to herself for a moment, Scarlet looked at me and spoke.

“They say all men are wolves.”

“Yeah.”

Scarlet spoke in her usual tone, sharing her thoughts.

“Actually, I don’t really like men. Due to my profession, I meet a lot of strange guys… and I strongly agree with the saying that men are wolves.”

“I see.”

It had nothing to do with me.

In my life, I’d never been called a wolf, so…

“Especially guys like you.”

“….”

Tuk-

Scarlet raised her index finger and pressed firmly on my chest.

“Honestly, whenever I saw women falling for those wolves, I thought they were foolish. ‘Why waste their lives on that?’ After all, men inevitably turn their eyes to new women.”

“….”

“But, even knowing this man is a wolf, there are times I want to be fooled. … Like now.”

“Scarlet…!”

Seeing Scarlet, who slightly raised the corners of her lips and pressed on my chest, I carefully pulled Scarlet into my embrace.

Scarlet, held in my arms, smiled and said.

“You won’t make me like those other foolish women, will you?”

“Of course not. Scarlet. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you.”

If I make something mine, I don’t give up.

Having decided that, I have to see it through.

Hearing my answer, Scarlet smiled and hugged me.

And then, in a slightly disappointed tone, she complained.

“A confession is supposed to be the final confirmation between two lovers, but I wanted something a little more romantic. It was far from romantic.”

“Sorry. Honestly, I’m not good at that kind of thing.”

“Haa, fine. I didn’t expect much anyway.”

“Next time, I’ll try to prepare somehow.”

“Then, I’ll let it slide just for today… Just stay still for now.”

Peck-

Scarlet grabbed my collar, pulled my upper body towards her, and kissed me right then.

A bird kiss, exploring each other’s lips.

From Scarlet, a feminine scent wafted strongly.

A pleasant scent, a mix of fabric softener and her body odor.

I felt the allure of a sexy woman.

I continued the kiss and slowly ran my hand down Scarlet’s back.

If it were up to me, I would have wanted to insert my tongue, but as Scarlet said, I matched her pace.

After a rather long kiss ended, Scarlet, parting her lips, looked at me and said.

“Why, why aren’t you doing anything?”

“You told me to stay still.”

“….”

Scarlet seemed frustrated and frowned.

Was this also my fault?

Scarlet placed her hands on my chest.

Her hands were slightly trembling.

Her trembling hands seemed to represent Scarlet’s heart.

“… I, I want my first time to be perfect. From here on, you, who are experienced… should take the lead.”

Embarrassed even after saying it, she slightly turned her head, cautiously looking at my face; Scarlet’s appearance… was so cute, and my patience reached its limit.

If she shows me that side, I can’t help myself.

“Scarlet!”

“Ah, Aah….”

I immediately grabbed Scarlet and threw her onto the bed.
