episode_0188

I almost broke my firm resolve.

That night passed without any special events.

I tried to raise the mood to do something serious.

Because my troubled mind hasn’t calmed down.

Honestly, Ellen still couldn’t quite believe it.

The person who created the unique magic in the empire was not from this continent.

Are you from a place called Earth, a place I’ve never heard of before?

“Ugh… .”

I came to my senses in the morning.

Elin didn’t get up and just mumbled.

Hug.

We didn’t make any further progress yesterday though.

Instead, she fell into Luke’s arms and fell asleep.

It was hard to escape from the warmth that seemed to be addictive.

Despite my anxious mind, my body got plenty of rest.

I was so refreshed that I opened my eyes on my own.

Ellen deliberately remained motionless and stared at Luke.

“Brother… Honey… Honey… .”

I spat out the candidates I had mentioned at dinner one by one.

Hwaak-

Even though I know Luke is sleeping, my face feels hot.

To be honest, I mustered up a lot of courage yesterday too.

-Don’t hold back any longer and do whatever you want with me… Brother Luke?

All Elin had was Leo, who had left home, and Gerald, who had been constantly harassing her.

I didn’t know much because I was surrounded by people who weren’t like my brother.

It’s such an embarrassing title to use when calling someone you like.

That doesn’t mean that you or your wife… .

“Eight.”

Kuk.

I’m thinking hard about it.

Luke was sleeping soundly and peacefully, so he pressed his finger to his lips in annoyance.

“… … Your Majesty?”

Luke wakes up with just a little stimulation.

“Not a princess, but Elin.”

“Ah… Elin.”

I corrected a mistake I made while sleeping.

Kwak.

He puts strength into his arms and hugs Elin.

Thanks to that, Elin was glued to Luke.

in other words.

“This… Why did it turn out like this again?”

It meant that he could clearly feel Luke’s tent on his lower abdomen.

“It’s like that in the morning.”

“… … why?”

“Well, I don’t know the medical reason.”

I’ve snuck into Luke’s bedroom many times, so I knew this was going to be the case every morning.

Still, I felt regretful inside.

Yesterday, I made this myself with Elin’s power.

The mere existence of the morning makes Luke stronger.

“I can’t lose to something like morning.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Nothing.”

At this moment, Elin had a great desire to seduce him.

Luke just brushed it off as something he had said in his sleep.

“But how long will this continue?”

“Do you dislike it?”

“That can’t be true.”

Luke is still holding Elin tightly.

I really like the breathtaking pace of the century.

“Today, if you want to tour a place called Earth… ?, you need quite a bit of preparation, right?”

“There’s nothing you need to prepare, as long as you have a place. All the research materials are in your inventory.”

Actually, if I had put my mind to it, I could have gone last night too.

The goal of my four years of research at the Academy was to find Earth.

There is only one reason why I am procrastinating now.

“I think you need to prepare yourself mentally.”

It was because I was afraid.

I don’t remember Earth very well now, though.

What if I go there in person and the memories come flooding back?

Wasn’t it the same when you first landed on the continent?

There was no guarantee that Earth would be any different.

It would be better if only the memories came back.

What if the continent’s memories were erased?

What if we delete everything while receiving information from Earth?

“Don’t worry about it.”

Ellen poked Luke’s nose.

“Do you think you can forget everything when I’m right next to you? No, actually, it doesn’t matter if you forget everything.”

Then Elin brought her face to the nape of Luke’s neck.

Chuup-

And let’s suck it in hard.

Red marks will appear soon.

“I will engrave everything from the beginning.”

“… … ”

“So don’t worry.”

Ellen gently stroked Luke’s cheek.

Keep going until you feel at ease.

“… ha.”

Luke, who had just come to his senses, let out a hollow laugh.

He was clearly a little kid who needed to be fed first.

How did it grow so big in the blink of an eye?

Wouldn’t it be strange if I wasn’t attracted to this?

side.

Luke got up and pressed his lips to Elin’s forehead.

“Then, go quickly. When you come back, I’ll prepare what Elin really wants.”

“!”

Elin’s stupid hair stood up straight in the shape of an exclamation mark.

“I promised, oppa.”

“… … Ahem. Is that the fixed name?”

“No, I’m thinking about it. I have honey and honey… but that’s for later. For now… It’s just a master-student relationship, right?”

Elin smiled wryly.

Before Luke woke up, I would spit it out every once in a while and feel embarrassed by myself.

She was an incredibly shameless woman.

“There is no such unhealthy priest-student relationship in the world.”

“It doesn’t matter. Soon we won’t be priests anymore.”

Ellen shrugged and walked to the bathroom first.

“I’ll wash up first in the morning.”

“Okay.”

“No matter how much I want to see you, can’t I come in?”

“I would never do something like that… .”

Luke’s words stopped.

Swish.

Elin slowly, very slowly untied the knot in her gown.

There is playfulness in his eyes.

Just like a fox wagging its tail, even the fur on its head is fluttering.

“… I’ll go in now too.”

“I said no… You too, oppa.”

Elin giggles.

Luke Jr., who should have calmed down by now, is still stubbornly asserting himself.

I had no choice but to give in to the temptation.

Luke threw his bathrobe roughly on the bed and went into the bathroom.

* * * * *

Bathing took two to three times longer than usual.

Of course, it’s not like I couldn’t endure my first experience last night either.

-I’ll wash you.

-I can wash the front.

-You can wash me too, oppa, right?

-……please.

Neither of them are confident enough to cross the line.

It was because they were desperate to tease each other.

Finally, we arrived at the breakfast table after taking a bath.

“…Why are both of your faces like that?”

Vivian asked with a worried look on her face.

“It’s so red. Did you do it since morning? Or until morning…?”

“That’s not it.”

Luke flinched.

I stuffed the food I had been chewing into my mouth.

“… No?”

But for some reason Vivian’s face was stained with disappointment.

“I couldn’t even let you use the room… .”

“Yes? What did you say?”

“It’s nothing. But I don’t think I can give Ellin’s room up today either.”

“… Ah.”

Only then did Luke remember.

That Elin slept in Luke’s room yesterday because the top room was being cleaned.

“It’s okay. I’ll let Elin sleep in my room.”

“Oh my, oh my.”

Vivian covered her mouth with a look of emotion.

I’m finally a man.

We have another grandchild in our family.

I was making a fuss for a while.

Luke ignored everything and finished his meal.

widely.

Luke put down his dishes.

“Father.”

Benedict was called.

“Huh?”

Benedict looked at her with eyes that said he had no idea she would call him.

“Is there a vacant room where I can cast my spell?”

“What are you trying to do?”

Then, the look in his eyes changed to, “Okay, then.”

Luke felt slightly sorry.

Because if I didn’t have any business, I didn’t really talk to Benedict.

“There is space magic to unfold with Elin.”

“We had a big battle a while ago, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“It’s okay.”

Luke clenched and unclenched his fist.

My body was still fine because my contract with Bertain was still valid.

Of course, after returning from Earth, I will need to recuperate for a while.

“… There are a lot of empty rooms. I’ll tell the maids. ”

“Thank you.”

Benedict had an unpleasant face, though.

In the end, I granted Luke’s request.

“Instead.”

But Benedict wasn’t finished talking yet.

“Don’t get hurt. Don’t use your body carelessly.”

“… … Yes?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

“No… I heard. I’ll be careful.”

I was a little surprised.

I didn’t know Benedict was the kind of person who could say things like that.

“Does this kid think his dad is a machine? If you say even a little bit of warm words to him, he freezes right away?”

“… I never thought of it like that.”

“No, it’s not. It’s obvious. Anyway, Mom feels the same way. Don’t get hurt.”

In that moment, a corner of Luke’s heart became warm.

Elin wasn’t the only reason to remain on the continent.

There are fathers who are blunt on the outside but warm on the inside.

A mother who usually slaps her son on the back and nags him, but always thinks of her son… .

“You have to see your grandchildren, don’t you? Even if they get hurt, protect them.”

…there are also mothers who worry about their grandchildren who are not even born yet.

Anyway, the conclusion was the same.

There is a family waiting.

So Luke had to return to the continent.

“I ate well.”

I steeled my resolve and left the restaurant.

It was time to go back home.

* * * * *

“Wow… … .”

Ellen let out a sigh of admiration.

A large scroll so huge that you wonder if there was such a size.

The scrolls that filled the space next to it formed a large magic circle.

The sight of the magic circle rolling like a gear wheel can be called a work of art.

“… It’s been 4 years since it got to this point?”

There’s a reason they call Luke a genius.

To create spatial magic from nothing and achieve such research results.

“To be exact, I didn’t get any results. Because I didn’t find my destination.”

Luke smiled bitterly.

“But now it will be different.”

Exactly.

Let’s snap our fingers.

Woof-!!

The magic circles interlock and rotate fiercely.

A huge portal opened before my eyes.

A scene where countless extra-dimensional objects pass by.

Luke focused and adjusted his dimensional coordinates.

A dimension that I passed over because I felt no sign of life at all.

But in the dimension where the Earth is predicted to exist.

“… … Ah.”

I sighed without realizing it.

My prediction was right.

The vast universe.

A view of the solar system from a distance.

I approached slowly.

To find the blue star where Luke came from.

however.

“… … ”

The blue star was no more.

I expected it, but… .

“So this is how it ended up.”

A planet covered in gray.

Traces of an explosion visible from a distance.

A fragrant forest that can no longer be found.

Luke was welcomed by a devastated Earth.
