The kiss I shared with Rube was a greeting. The kiss I shared with Kaela was dessert. That doesn’t mean they really think that way, it just means they mix it up often.

However, this was my first kiss with Arjen, the original owner of my body. When I thought about it like that, I felt something strange.

“Hehe……”

Arjen’s expression was almost dead. It looks like he was quite shocked. I thought it would be the most familiar in terms of appetite, but I guess I was mistaken.

‘Have you never eaten something like tongue meat?’

Whatever it is, I’m glad you seem to have calmed down. I spoke to Arjen while lightly pinching his cheek.

“Are you calm now, lady?”

“Kiss… I kissed Eugene…! Ugh, how? What’s going on?”

…Somehow, I felt like I couldn’t calm down in a different direction this time. I really wondered what kind of situation it would be to cut off the leg of someone who would make such a fuss over a kiss.

No. Let’s not try to understand. The opponent is a dragon.

Even if he was sane, he was a being on a different level that he couldn’t understand, but he went crazy, so daring to try to fathom his feelings was useless.

This is a lesson I learned only after having my leg cut off.

If you don’t just do something for no reason and just do your best sincerely, you won’t have to say goodbye to at least one part of your body.

“Don’t worry, I won’t run away anywhere. Why would you run away when Arjen is there?”

“Really…? Is it true?”

“Then, I really mean it.”

“But… Then why did you run away so far? While I’m not looking…”

Only now are you asking that. It took so long

“It’s not that I ran away, I just wanted to get some fresh air, so I went outside and met a fairy, so I stopped…”

I thought I would be able to explain confidently if only they would listen to me, but I felt embarrassed to explain that I had been chasing a fairy without any hesitation and ended up going too far and getting lost.

“Stop…?”

“I stopped because I met a fairy. It was my first time seeing a fairy, so I was so excited that I chased after it to catch it, but got lost.”

“Phew! What is that!”

A big smile finally appeared on Arjen’s face. If you’ve come this far, you don’t have to worry about losing your leg anymore.

“So, while I was panicking, I suddenly encountered a monster and almost died, but Arzen came and saved me. Thank you.”

I said that and hugged Arjen. I couldn’t see Arjen’s expression in my arms, but I’m sure he was completely melted.

Of course, no matter how strong the monster was, there was a high possibility that the necklace Arjen gave it would have blocked the attack, just like the goblin’s sling.

The person who almost killed me from excessive bleeding was Arjen himself, but there was no need to ruin the mood by saying something like that.

This guy in front of me probably has no memory of cutting off my leg and trying to eat it.

“Thank you… hehe… This is the first time I’ve heard it in my life.”

Is it real? That might be a bit sad.

“Anyway, from now on I won’t be away from Arzen’s side even for a moment.”

“Really? Is it a promise?”

When I saw Arjen’s face looking at me with his eyes shining, I wondered if I had said something pointless, but I couldn’t help it.

Because all the things I experienced to relieve boredom were so intense that they left a traumatic experience.

“Yes, promise.”

I put my little finger on Arjen’s little finger.

Then, a white light burst out surrounding me and Arjen, and I felt an unknown energy flowing through my body, centered around my little finger.

‘Oh my…’

Looking at the way things are going, I feel like something big is going to happen. Now that I think about it, I’ve learned not to carelessly make promises to dragons, demons, or other people who can do things with words…

Where did you learn it? Even if no one teaches you that, you can know it just by watching a few movies or novels.

In this case, it would be something with a grandiose name, such as a contract of eloquence, and the person who broke the promise would die due to an explosion of magical energy.

Of course, since I don’t have magical powers, I wouldn’t mind being restrained in that way.

Whatever it was, I was seeing Arjen very happy right in front of me, so I felt like if I broke my promise, even if it wasn’t because of the contract, he would dismember my body himself.

good. I’ll have to stick close to Arjen for the time being.

***

“Hmm… Yoo Ji-in….”

The morning that always comes. I also got used to automatically opening my eyes without an alarm. I have now gotten used to always having Arjen in my arms when I wake up.

“Arjen. I have to wake up.”

He comforted Arjen in his arms, but she frowned in her sleep and snuggled deeper inside. I had no choice but to kiss Arjen.

“Ugh… Zyuup….”

After kissing for the first time, Arjen seemed to like her so much that he begged me to kiss her at least once a day.

Of course, I had no power or reason to refuse, so I tended to obediently listen, but I still liked kissing her first like this the most.

“Hehe… I woke up.”

Arjen seemed to attach great importance to kissing. As she had already gone so far with her other personalities, it was bound to be very awkward.

“What are you going to do today?”

“Wow… Let’s eat first and think.”

Arjen held my hand and ran to the restaurant.

Surprisingly, I didn’t turn into Kaela and was on my way to the restaurant, but that didn’t mean Arjen started eating human flesh in front of me.

“Ugh…….”

I laughed for no reason when I saw Arjen failing to control his expression when he looked at the plate in front of him. Arjen was eating the same menu as me right now.

I was proud to see Arjen putting bread and soup into his mouth with a subtle expression, as if I was watching a child overcome his picky eating habits from the perspective of a parent.

“Are you okay? It’s okay if you don’t overdo it.”

“Ugh. No… I can’t inconvenience Kaela forever… so I have to eat at least one meal myself.”

In fact, Kaela seemed very dissatisfied with the decrease in mealtime, the only time when she could go out as much as she wanted, but she did not complain out loud, perhaps because she was pleased with Arjen’s gradual improvement.

Of course, I couldn’t just be happy as long as I knew that all of that effort came from wanting to be with me a little longer.

Even though he was showering his love on me endlessly now, I couldn’t tell when he would get tired of me and abandon me like a devoted partner.

Of course, based on the long life of a dragon, it may not change over time until I die.

One way or another, after coming to this world, I was semi-forcibly dependent on Arjen for all aspects of my life, so it was important to try my best not to look hateful.

“I just want to lie down and not do anything today.”

After finishing his meal, Arjen announced his schedule for the day. I accepted it right away.

“Then you become a pig.”

“Heeing….”

This may feel like a statement that contradicts what I just said about the importance of not being hateful.

However, in Arjen’s case, rather than accepting everything, it was necessary to approach him as a parent who was occasionally strict and specific.

Of course, I didn’t come up with this, it’s advice given by Rube. I had nothing to lose by listening to Rube, so I followed him unconditionally.

Then, you might have suspected that Rube had made a mistake and something big would happen, but that couldn’t be the case.

It makes no sense to not trust her infinitely when she even attached my leg to it.

“But you can’t run around in the rare?”

I was about to tell him that he could run around as much as he wanted outside, but I kept my mouth shut.

After the night walk incident, I wanted to avoid mentioning anything outside of Lair in front of Argen as much as possible.

“That’s true too, but… Ah!”

A brilliant idea suddenly occurred to me. There was one thing that would help me while killing time.

“Then Arjen, won’t you teach me the language of this world?”

“Huh? Horse?”

For a moment, I thought, Oops. It occurred to me later that Arjen might be persistent in asking me where I was going to use my language skills.

To put it to the extreme, there was no need for me to learn the language if I was going to be alone with Arjen for the rest of my life. Because he reads my thoughts and responds with verbs.

Fortunately, Arjen nodded without any further doubts, perhaps because he was overly worried.

“Then! Hehe, sounds fun.”

The language of this world was very difficult. I remembered the first time I learned French as an undergraduate student.

No, unlike the time when I at least knew the alphabet, in this case I had to learn the letters all over again, so the level of difficulty was higher.

‘But you still have to learn.’

Regardless of whether or not I will stay by Arjen’s side for the rest of my life, I plan to stay in this world for a long time, and there will be a lot of inconveniences due to not being able to read and write.

Of course, the best way would be to return to the world I came from, but since I was suddenly brought here, I had no idea how to return.

I just vaguely think that I might be able to go back someday.
