“I like it.”

Vivian confessed with difficulty.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot for a long time.

But I hesitated and hesitated every time.

Is this okay?

If you make a mistake, it might actually go awry.

However, I didn’t want to stay anymore.

Strangely enough, after hearing Sylvia’s story and receiving training, my feelings became clear and my decision became stronger.

“Me. I love Ian so much.”

My heart was beating loudly and fast, as if it was going to run away.

I’m embarrassed, and I don’t know why, but it seems a little shameful and embarrassing.

But the shame that made my body tremble was so tickling and sweet.

Ian’s large hand was placed on his chest.

Normally, it would be too embarrassing to even dare to do.

However, after kissing each other with a sober mind, I had no hesitation.

On the contrary, the urge to show myself more and make myself feel soared.

A large hand placed on the chest.

And his own hand placed on it.

The body temperature piled on top of each other is warm.

That overlap was what Vivian thought was the relationship between the two.

Ian made Vivian’s heart beat.

Vivian caught him and locked him up.

I want to lock it up.

In your heart, in your mind.

but… .

“I vaguely know about your relationship with Kati.”

“… … .”

“The fact that Ian didn’t answer Kati… . i know. So, you know.”

Vivian swallowed her saliva once.

He pressed the hand on Ian’s hand harder and spoke again.

“Please give me a chance too… .”

“That… .”

“You don’t have to answer now. So, even if there was a chance… . Please let me have at least the possibility of being by your side… .”

“Ha… .”

Ian frowned, stroking his bangs with his other hand.

Vivian held her breath and tensed.

Are you rejecting it by any chance?

as soon as?

Even though I’m afraid of that, I’m sure it’s because I’m weird that I find that wrinkled eyebrow sexy.

Maybe it was because of the hand on my chest.

“First, let’s get our hands on it… .”

“I hate it!”

Vivian closed her eyes tightly and shook her head.

The hand that pressed harder was on the clothes, but it seemed as if it was digging into the cleavage.

“Ji, you’re tempting Ian! So I can’t give in… !”

Ian burst out laughing without realizing it.

It was a very serious and intimate atmosphere.

Those words just sounded like a childish complaint.

“Why, why are you smiling… . I’m serious… .”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Without even realizing it, that. hmm… .”

First of all, it seems like he has no intention of giving up his hand.

So Ian decided to ignore the feeling in his hands as much as possible.

How and where should I explain this?

I think I know about his relationship with Katy, and it’s strange to mention it in this situation… .

“Vivian. Well, I… It is a kind of time limit.”

“… What?”

A time bomb that you never know will explode.

Ian calmly confessed his situation.

This is already the third time I’ve talked about this.

It was difficult to explain when I first brought it up to Sylvia, but not anymore.

“… … .”

After hearing everything, Vivian was silent for a long time.

I thought it was a metaphor for rejection, but Ian was extremely serious.

“That… . By any chance. Does Sylvia know about this too?”

“Yes.”

“I see… .”

Only then did Vivian realize.

What did you mean by asking me to protect Ian?

Why does Sylvia come to see him and try to pass on everything to him?

It is not simply because Ian is the manager and the long-cherished wish of the warrior and humanity is the death of the Demon King.

Otherwise, Ian might die, so Sylvia said that Ian’s warriors should become stronger.

“But why are you asking that?”

“Huh?”

I forgot.

The fact that he secretly met Sylvia and learned more about their relationship was his own secret.

Vivian explained hurriedly.

“Ah, I was wondering if the first party also knew about Ian’s situation! lol… .”

I was so embarrassed that my face got hot and sweaty, but I was okay.

After confessing, my face was so red that it couldn’t get any hotter, and I was sweating profusely.

In fact, Ian didn’t even notice her strangeness.

“In the first party, no one will know except Sylvia.”

“I see… .”

Vivian composed herself again.

Until now, my sense of purpose had been vague.

I just liked helping people.

It was nice to be envied and praised as a warrior.

There was no specific goal at the end.

At least it surpasses the first warrior party.

You will have to kill the Demon King.

However, when I imagined myself as the subject, it felt somewhat hazy.

Like a story from another world very far away.

“I understand. Ian also understood that it would be difficult to give any answers until then. So.”

Stand before the devil.

That image took shape.

“I’ll wait. As I said before, not as a second Sylvia, but as Ian’s Vivian.”

“… … .”

“From now on, I will continue to be a hero and manager as usual. Well, you know. Even if I complain sometimes… Please accept it.”

“… Yes?”

“Just, just… . All you have to do is accept Kati’s actions.”

Vivian felt a little miserable as she said that.

It was because he considered himself second to Carty.

Still, I couldn’t have asked for more.

“For me, I’m the oldest, and I’ve seen a lot of kids, but I’m not that mature. There are many times when I want to act foolish. So, when that happens, please let me lean in just a little… .”

Vivian’s hand traveled up Ian’s neck and touched his face.

The gently folded hands were warm.

The faces are getting closer.

Ian didn’t resist.

No, you’re right that I couldn’t resist.

Before I knew it, my hands and feet were tightly bound by root vines rising from the ground.

‘wait for a sec. What is this. Root binder? When did you learn this… .’

My thoughts were interrupted as my vision filled with Vivian.

Red, thick lips covered Ian’s lips.

The slippery feel seemed like it would fall off, but it stuck again as if it was disappointing.

Vivian eventually lifted her head and stared blankly at Ian, gradually regaining her sense of reality.

Without realizing it, I kissed him while tying him up using the binding magic I had recently learned.

I’m embarrassed and embarrassed.

The sight of him being helplessly tied up strongly aroused my desire to advance to the next level.

Vivian glanced at her lips, which were probably covered in Ian’s saliva, and slowly backed away.

I had a gut feeling that if I didn’t increase the distance, I might cross the line.

“Well, then, I’ll just leave now-!”

So, I ran away.

Ian, who remained in the room, looked at the spot she left.

It was absurd.

“You have to give it away… .”

Fortunately, Vivian came back in a hurry a few seconds later.

With her face lowered and redder than before, not daring to make eye contact or speak to her, she simply dispelled the spell and quickly ran away.

As she walked back, Vivian blamed herself.

‘What is this ending…’ !’

At best, it was heated up with a sly atmosphere and honest confessions.

The last one was so immature.

I believed that I was able to show something that only I, who was older, could offer.

How long have I waited and planned for this day? .

‘still… .’

I touch the lips that I met with Ian.

It’s something I had imagined while watching him sleep before.

He even attempted the first kiss between the two of them in his own right.

This was a huge step forward.

“Hee hee. The surprised look was kind of cute.”

Vivian regained her confidence.

*

Veneto.

A medium-sized city that was recently destroyed due to the occurrence of a class A dungeon.

It was Ian’s next destination for the party.

They moved quickly using a warp portal and arrived at a refugee camp near Veneto.

“The heroes have arrived!”

Refugees who discovered Ian and the Fruit Hero came rushing out.

“It’s Ian! That’s Ian!”

“Ian’s warriors have nothing to worry about! We lived!”

“Heroes! Thank you very much!”

Ian and his group moved to the center of the camp with the support of the refugees.

There was a large tent used as the operational headquarters.

A person dispatched from the Manager’s Guild.

And, there was a party of warriors who would enter the strategy together.

Excluding Ian’s party, there were two warrior parties.

“Ah, warrior. Welcome.”

The Veneto guard captain who was with us greeted us.

“Please retake Veneto. Please.”

The warriors nodded with solemn expressions.

The operational briefing was simple.

The attack begins tomorrow at noon.

Because it was a city with a canal, it was dangerous at night when visibility was difficult.

Also, because of the size of A-class dungeons, the first step is to find the entrance.

The entire city was already a den of monsters.

After hearing the monsters outside and the warnings, the warriors dispersed.

Ian thought that his party could enter at night, but he didn’t take any unreasonable measures.

Since this is your first A-level dungeon, you need to be careful.

“There are a lot of refugees.”

The road to the camp complex where only warriors stay.

Vivian said, looking around.

“Thanks to the timely discovery, there were no deaths.”

Those were Ian’s words.

“Thank goodness. Certainly, I think the elf’s abilities are great. You said you talk to other creatures, right?”

Lucia asked.

“Yes! That’s right!”

It was as she said.

The citizens of Veneto narrowly escaped the monster’s clutches.

Even if it had been just a few hours late, there would have been deaths.

It was the elf who discovered the disaster early and prevented it.

That is, the elf scouting team sent north by Ian.

This is a place close to the Margrave of Frederick, and Ian’s elf scouting team was the first to sense the crisis while patrolling nearby.

Since the dungeon discovered was Grade A, Ian’s party was able to quickly hear the news and come.

“There are no injuries… .”

Helena said as if she were lonely.

Coincidentally, I was passing through an area where the injured were gathered.

The lack of priests took care of them with difficulty.

Helena was caught between them and could not help.

For tomorrow’s battle, I had to save up my strength.

The wounded waved their hands or bowed their heads as they watched the warriors leisurely pass by.

“Don’t worry too much. It will be okay.”

“Yes… .”

“Think of it as saving more people by blocking the dungeon tomorrow.”

Ian advised.

You can’t compensate for the past with something from the future.

However, I had to steel myself like that.

You will see scenes like this often in the future.

I shouldn’t have hesitated and suffered every time.

There was also a large burn mirror brought by Ian in the center of the refugee camp.

Recently, he has been carrying a video mirror with him wherever he goes.

Residents lingered in front of it and observed.

“Is this it? Well, the burn… What did they say?”

“Image mirror? Crystal mirror? Burn beads?”

“You can really watch the heroes fight with this?”

It seemed like there were many people I was seeing for the first time.

It’s disabled for now, but tomorrow when we go into battle, it will be activated and light up the fruits.

To give the refugees hope that they will do their best and regain their city.

We are finally almost to the camp complex.

Ian’s elves, who discovered the danger of Veneto early on, would also be waiting there.

“It seems like the atmosphere has changed a lot recently.”

Mercy muttered to herself.

“Atmosphere?”

“Yes, yes. Our elf scouts.”

“Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I haven’t seen you. The last time I stopped by the castle was when I received the land.”

If we have learned a lot from human society over the years, it may have changed.

Soon after entering the camp complex.

Ian found strangers.

‘Who is it?’

Judging by his appearance, he was not a warrior.

Because 8 people were wearing uniform clothes.

Wearing hunting hats and hunting coats, they looked like skilled mercenaries or hunters.

The eyes revealed under the hat are extremely cold.

‘It’s just like old Frederick’s soldiers.’

Finally they looked this way.

“Eot. Princess!”

“Oh! You have arrived!”

It was only for a moment that I scanned the air with my sharp gaze.

When they found Mercy and Ian, they smiled brightly and ran towards them.

“I was waiting!”

“We saved this place! That’s amazing!”

“There are some people who were injured… ! Were the refugees okay?”

They crowded together and chattered.

They were eight elf scouts sent north by Ian.

“Uh, uh… . Well, yes, good job… .”

Mercy answered awkwardly and asked back.

“Dae, what on earth happened to you guys? ?”

That was something Ian was curious about too.
