episode_0086

Mornings in District 2 always started with the roar of monsters.

Number 25 cautiously opened his eyes in the sunlight streaming in through the window, and slowly raised his upper body with a puzzled expression at the soft, comfortable feel on his back.

“Why am I here… .”

Number 25, who usually doesn’t sleep in bed, didn’t understand why he was here.

It didn’t take long for my mind to come to my senses, which had been hazy from sleep. However, I couldn’t say that it was necessarily good.

Isn’t it sometimes said that forgetting is a blessing? No. 25 was feeling those words keenly right now.

Last night, No. 25, who barely remembered that he couldn’t stand the wet breastfeeding from Law for the first time in his life, lost all the strength in his lower back and fell asleep in the blink of an eye on her back, and his face instantly turned red. . Unable to bear the rising shame, I turned my back and stamped my feet with my face pressed against the blanket.

What kind of disgrace is this?

I didn’t want to be indebted to her one by one for even such trivial things. He knew better than anyone else that debt would have to be repaid someday, and that Rowe’s price would be harsh.

I promised myself it would never happen again, but there was one thing that bothered me.

The feeling of her vaguely remaining in the corner of my memory, wouldn’t it have been like that if my mother existed? The warmth was so deep that it was even tempting to believe that it was.

Just as it is a natural law of the world that the snow melts when spring comes, do you mean that the frozen heart was destined to eventually melt due to the medicine of passing time?

No, that can’t be true. She is the enemy of Cheolcheon who separated her from her loved one, and is someone who will have to leave someday.

Although I was trying hard to deny it, I already knew about number 25. The fact that something is changing little by little in your heart.

What on earth should I call this burning feeling that remains in my heart?

hatred? anger? aversion?

I knew it wasn’t that type of emotion. Rather, it was closer to compassion, love, and affection, which were in sharp contrast to that.

I hated admitting that fact.

Number 25 kicked the blanket covering his lower body with his foot as if to blow away the emotions he was currently feeling, and then exhaled harshly, unable to accept his feelings.

When things had calmed down to some extent, Law spoke to me outside the door as always.

“Are you awake? ? Come up to eat.”

“… Yes.”

Number 25, who did not answer right away but opened his mouth briefly after a pause, slightly straightened his hair in front of the mirror and headed upstairs.

The kitchen was located right next to her room, reflecting her homely and cooking-loving personality.

Number 25 sat down and yawned as if to signal that he had not fully woken up from sleep, and looked at the dishes appearing one by one on the table.

Meat, meat, more meat. Although there were differences in the animals, parts, and cooking methods, they were all meat-based dishes.

To others, it may have seemed like a slightly heavy diet starting from the morning.

However, for No. 25, who prefers meat to vegetarian food, it was a better morning than anything else.

The fragrant smell that stimulates the nose causes saliva to reflexively form in the mouth.

I wanted to immediately grab a knife, cut up some meat, and put it in my mouth, but Law hadn’t sat down yet.

After Rowe personally brought the milk in a clear glass, no dishes were served.

As the table was filled with dishes, No. 25 forgot all his thoughts from the morning and his eyes sparkled as innocently as a child.

“What day is today?”

“I felt tired because of work yesterday, so I tried to gain some strength today for the first time in a while.”

Because it happened yesterday… . Number 25, who was cutting meat, inadvertently shifted his gaze to Law’s chest.

I automatically thought of the breast milk flowing from the pink, delicious nipples behind her dress.

No. 25 shifted his gaze from her breasts to the milk. Maybe this milk that comes out occasionally in the morning… .

Let’s not think such ominous thoughts. As if to overcome his worries, No. 25 quickly poured the milk down his throat before eating the meat.

It’s softer than other milks, has a much more nutty taste, and has a slightly sweet taste at the end. Isn’t it an illusion that the aftertaste is similar to the scent of Raw?

Law asked as he looked at No. 25, who had white milk near his mouth.

“How about it, is it delicious?”

It was an ordinary question, but it sounded somewhat strange. Number 25 nodded, avoiding eye contact, and then asked Law any question to avoid this situation.

“But Mr. Law, why are you researching me?”

I could understand giving in and drawing blood, but semen was a different story. What role does her semen play in her research?

It was a question that was thrown out randomly, but it was a fundamental question that No. 25 had not had time to think about for two years.

Law didn’t hide anything and answered straight away.

“That’s right… Because you are the last remaining dragon in this world.”

“I know that because I saw it in a book. Because of the previous war, all dragons became extinct except for me.”

When No. 25 found out what he knew, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and then spoke excitedly.

Law, who would normally have listened to him with a slight smile, tilted his head. It’s like, did you really understand what you just said? It was an expression that made me want to.

“No, it’s not a dragon. Didn’t I just say I was a dragon…? ?”

“Is it different?”

Depending on the person, there may be differences in the names they call it, such as dragon, dragon, and sometimes in derogatory terms, lizard, etc., but these names are all based on the assumption that the three are the same being.

It was the first time that someone like Rowe had said so emphatically that he was a different being.

Rowe sipped his tea and continued his story.

“It’s very different. Dragons are clearly a high-ranking race with no rivals, but dragons are different. Dragons are not limited to races, but are gods, miracles, and origins. A being that only appears when everyone desperately wants it.”

“Well, aren’t the two similar though? Everyone sees a dragon and calls it a dragon, or sees a dragon and calls it a dragon, right? Even in the books I read… .”

“Well… Since there are very few people who have seen a dragon in person, these days, everyone seems to call it whatever they want without thinking deeply about the issue of titles such as dragon. ? A dragon that is just a ‘monster’ who is a little stronger than others and a dragon that is a ‘miracle’ of the transcendent are clearly different beings.”

It was something I had never seen before in a book. Number 25 forgot for a moment about eating the food she loved so much and focused on the interesting story she told.

“Then how come you are so detailed and knowledgeable?”

“Because I have lived longer than anyone else… .”

Number 25 remained silent for a moment.

He seemed to be organizing his thoughts. Number 25 opened his mouth with a slightly darker expression than before.

“If they were such a strong race, why on earth did they become extinct?”

If everything Law said was true, there was no reason why the dragon race would become extinct.

Why on earth did a being that reduced the dragon, the pinnacle of all things, to a monster slightly stronger than others fall?

“That was in war… .”

After finishing saying the word war, Law stopped talking with an expression as if he had made a big mistake, and a shadow instantly appeared on his face.

“Why are you doing that?”

“No. Trying to forget what I just said.”

I had no intention of forcing myself to ask him to forget. Number 25 nodded with an uncertain expression.

“Yes.”

Law, who was tipping her teacup, let out a short sigh that was uncharacteristic of her, and then gestured to No. 25 as if to eat quickly.

“The story got longer… . Finish your meal.”

At her words, No. 25 started eating again before the food got cold.

The flavor of the meat filling my mouth and the juice pouring out as if it had just been caught were so flavorful that I forgot about the conversation I had just had with Law.

With his elbows on the table and his hands neatly placed in front of his chin, Law watched with satisfaction as No. 25 ate. Before she knew it, the shadow that had been on her face had long since disappeared.

Rowe asked vaguely, looking at No. 25, who was stuffing so much meat that both cheeks were bursting, and had a happy expression on his face.

“Is it delicious?”

No. 25 answered as soon as the meat fell with a gulp sound.

“It’s delicious.”

At least there was no sin in food, so I had no intention of making her sad by lying.

Law rubbed his chest as if relieved.

“Thank goodness. It’s rewarding to cook from breakfast… . There is more, so eat a lot.”

I wish I could eat more, but I couldn’t hunt comfortably if I felt heavy from the morning.

No. 25 finished his meal by shaking his head and putting down his knife.

While I was rubbing my full stomach with a satisfied expression, Law slowly tilted his upper body forward.

“I buried it here.”

With a natural hand gesture, Law snatched the food off No. 25’s mouth with his finger and put it into his own mouth before No. 25 could react.

“I can do this on my own.”

Number 25 grumbled, but it was not a complaint born of disgust.

Rather, it was not much different from the feelings of a child who is embarrassed by his parents’ gentle expressions of affection just because his head is a little bigger.

She pulled her chair back loudly, stood up, and spoke to No. 25.

“You haven’t washed it yet, right? Why don’t you go take a bath right away? There is no need to go hunting today.”

“Really?”

Why? It’s been almost a year since I haven’t gone out hunting in the morning.

At first, it felt good to not have to kill lives needlessly, but No. 25 couldn’t help but feel down quickly.

I had forgotten that time passes more slowly on days without hunting.

There was nothing worth spending time on in District 2, where there was no town of any kind nearby and no one flocked to it.

I can’t help it.

Number 25 headed to the bathroom on the first floor with the intention of taking a leisurely bath for the first time in a long time.

Since it was a tower where Rowe lived alone until now, the bathroom was very simple. A space for a simple shower and a small-sized bathtub that fills up with just one person.

Although it is not as luxurious as the large bath in Aser’s castle or as atmospheric as the open-air bath in District 6, there was no major inconvenience in washing one’s body.

Number 25 hummed to himself as he soaked himself in the water that was quickly heated by the fire spirit.

I wish these peaceful days could continue forever.

While I was thinking that, I felt someone coming from behind me.

No. 25 looked back with anxiety, and saw Rowe standing there, barely covering his body with a towel.

It wasn’t the chest and buttocks that would be covered even if they were covered. My eyes are involuntarily drawn to the nipple slightly protruding through the white towel.

At the appearance of an uninvited guest, No. 25 hurriedly covered his dick and shouted at Law.

“Woman, why are you here… ?!”

Rowe, who opened the door and looked inside, spoke in a calm voice.

“To give you a push on the back, is it something you don’t like?”

Pushing one’s back is enough for another spirit to do. There was no way that Law, who created the spirit, did not know that fact.

The reason she entered the bathroom now was purely out of her greed and wish.

Haven’t expressions of affection increased a bit recently? That thought came to mind. Law must only be looking at his own body as an object of research, right?

It was confusing. My confused head couldn’t even properly tell Law to leave.

Law, who arbitrarily accepted the silence as an affirmation, entered the bathroom and gently closed the door.

The bathroom was full even when I was alone, and it felt like if I moved my body even a little, I would touch her body.

Her scent penetrating the warm, humid air gradually makes me lose consciousness.

Law silently foamed his hand with white foam and then placed his hand on No. 25’s back without making any signal.

The hot water, cold Law’s palm, and fragrant foam formed a trinity that paralyzed No. 25’s reason.

Law, who was rubbing No. 25’s back, looked at his back as if fascinated and muttered.

“You’ve already grown so much… .”

I was so distracted that I couldn’t hear properly.

No. 25 asked about what she muttered behind her.

“What did you say?”

“Nothing… .”

Law gave a vague answer and remained silent after that.

The only sound that could be heard in the quiet bathroom was the sound of skin rubbing against each other. Number 25 swallowed his saliva and focused on feeling her touch on his back.

Number 25 trembled slightly as her hands carefully, thoroughly, and gently caressed his entire body.

Unlike the first time, when he was scared when he saw Law come in, No. 25 had long since entrusted himself to her hands.

But that joy didn’t last long. Eventually, Law, who saw that No. 25’s entire back was covered in white foam, got up and headed for the exit without saying a word.

Number 25 looked at her as she left, as if their eyes met, and Law raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.

“Now you can wash up and come out by yourself, right? After you wash up, come up to my room. Since there’s no hunting today, I’d like to proceed with this research at a leisurely pace… .”

No. 25 poured a bucket of water on his body to wash off the foam, then entered the bathtub and lost himself in thought.

Leisurely research?

All he could think of was the word ‘research’, and his penis became erect enough to show off slightly above the surface of the water.

Number 25 lowered his head, half buried his face in the bathtub, and then sighed.

Ripples rippled on the surface of the water in time with his breathing, and No. 25 composed himself as he watched his image floating on the surface scatter.

Okay, I won’t deny it anymore.

No. 25 was soon able to see himself reflected in the calm water, happily waiting for his research with her.
