[Episode 103] Exciting Anticipation

Hyangdan was listening to the sound of Kim Seobang’s heart, which was preparing for the second trial by changing into his inner jacket.

Thump… Thump….

Is it that he is not nervous now? During the first trial, his heart was pounding like that…

He used to be always excited, but feeling his solid body disguised in clothes and listening to the thumping heartbeats made him strangely calm.

Moreover, this place was a trembling place full of gods, so he should have been vigilant and tense around, but…

Hiding in his warm embrace and listening to such sweet sounds, his mind unexpectedly calmed down, feeling like he might fall asleep at any moment…

“Oh… Feels good..!”

He might look pitiful hiding with the disguised puppy, but even if the puppy doesn’t know, he feels very comfortable and satisfied.

He wanted to stay close to him like this forever…

How could he, who originally loved jokes and was lively, have hidden like this all along?

It was because everything was comfortable and good.

Ah… Above all… now he had become his captive.

From the depths of his heart, he sincerely acknowledged him as his king.

They said it was buckwheat jelly.

Yes, goblins love buckwheat jelly. No, saying they love it is not enough! It’s an understatement to say they are crazy about it.

To that existence called a goblin, that food at that time…!

Did the disguise of the god of calamity seem ordinary instead?

That food casually sprinkled on an iron plate.

Disgustingly, within the ordinary, it contained a taste that was treacherous and vile when one took a bite unsuspectingly.

The texture of the soft buckwheat jelly enveloping the mouth warmly.

Each element of sensation felt on the tongue seemed to violate and lick oneself.

At the same time… Kim Seobang in front of him looked so lovely! Beyond control due to waves of emotions!

With just one eye smile, he used to tease and playfully manipulate Kim Seobang, but no matter how much he marked his territory as a bridegroom, he found himself wanting to submit and behave rudely towards Kim Seobang!

Is this a reasonable situation in the world!

At that time, I thought he had deceived me without a trace and set a trap in the food.

It’s not strange at all that I had such thoughts!

Perhaps not only myself but if it were a goblin, the moment they tasted the food, they would kneel before him, offering their body or soul in submission?

Especially if it were a goblin who had a liking for him from the beginning, the effect would be even greater.

Ah… Buckwheat jelly… that sacred name..! And the owner of this sweet heartbeat sound… my lovely husband… my respected king…

“Ughhh..!”

Suddenly, Hyangdan recalled the exhilarating sensation that had swept over his entire body that day, calming his excited self, and the warm gaze that reassured and worried about him, causing him to shiver unknowingly.

“Huh..? Hyangdan? Why are you suddenly shaking? Are you cold?”

“(Oh! Oh, no..!)”

Oh no… formal language again! Ugh.. embarrassing…!

Why should I be embarrassed? I’m not a timid goblin who gets shy!

This mischievous Kim Seobang! What did he do to me!

In this way, in a moment, deeply subjugating oneself…

Well.. I know too.. What did Mr. Kim do to me.. From a deep corner of my heart.. I just wanted to submit to him without even realizing it.

When there was a deep misunderstanding, I didn’t understand anything at all.

Clearly, he said he would have a child with me and become a concubine for the third? Fourth? I’m not sure how many times, but if I wanted something, couldn’t I just take it?

And after much deliberation, I came to a conclusion.

I wanted to be dominated by Mr. Kim right now, I wanted to be handled like a tool.

And.. I was struggling with strong impulses to dedicate my whole body to him.

And perhaps these feelings were what Mr. Kim intended, wanting to dominate and handle me like a tool!

Unlike the previous wives who treated him gently, did he want a woman who could enjoy a rough taste and use her freely like a tool? I casually speculated.

So, if that was just ordinary food, it was even more chilling and terrifying!

If wanting to be dominated and submissive wasn’t his trick, then maybe those emotions emerged from a hidden desire that I didn’t even know about, excited by the deliciousness of the innermost thoughts?

Goodness! How embarrassing is this!

Wanting to be conquered by him, wanting to be his tool, was it my secret desire?

No! No! I wanted to be a queen, not a tool..! I wanted to be a close companion! Why would a pretty goblin like me want to be treated like a tool?

Right, that must have been a mistake! Yes, yes!

Oh.. but once you declare something, you can’t take it back….

If I ask to step back, our kind Mr. Kim would probably step back immediately…

But…

‘… I absolutely hate that!’

After saying he would become Mr. Kim’s tool, was there a strangely happy feeling in my heart? I couldn’t hold back the laughter bubbling up! Why did I make such a declaration? Now we’re inseparable for life!

He must know that, right?

The moment I declared him king, our fates were firmly intertwined.

Moreover, although his king had already realized it deep down, instead of seeing himself as a tool, he treated me affectionately as a friend.

So, wouldn’t he naturally start treating me like a queen someday? Then I would be both his queen and tool.

‘Ugh..! Something feels weird down there..’

At first, he was just a good-looking friend.. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a baby with that friend?

But.. now, I feel like I want to serve him as his thoroughbred female..

Thinking back, the seed of this feeling probably sprouted from that time.

When he revealed his true self for the first time.

How scared I was that he might be afraid of my blue hair and blue eyes.

Once, a long time ago, out of curiosity towards other Mr. Kims who liked me, I revealed my true self.

… And I was hurt a little. No, a lot.

The Mr. Kim who had just expressed love to me suddenly changed his attitude, calling himself a monster, a witch, spewing insults, and left.

It was a secret I couldn’t tell anyone.. I ended up holed up in the small straw house I had built, crying my eyes out.

I hid for days, sobbing uncontrollably.

But oddly enough…

Ah. Those warm black eyes!

The gaze that seemed to be drawn into my blue hair and eyes as if mesmerized.

How exciting it was to feel his warm interest as if admiring something beautiful.

What emotions were contained within that gaze!

I always yearned for such attention… Ahh..

The emotions I felt from his gaze were so warm and happy.

The altar was a goblin. A sensitive goblin to the emotions of Mr. Kims.

So I could feel his emotions clearly.

He thinks I’m beautiful.

Deep down, he wants to run his fingers through my blue hair.

Gazing at my blue eyes so captivatingly…

And unknowingly… desiring my figure and beauty from deep within.

However, he suppresses those feelings, locking his instincts with firm reason.

So we were destined.

Just getting close to each other would intertwine us so ruthlessly, a powerful fate.

Always craving the love and attention of Kim Seobang.

Above all, searching lifelong for someone who could love and desire even my true self… That was the attention I longed for!

And… I finally found it!

A man who desires my true self! A groom who can gaze at my blue hair and eyes beautifully, as if enchanted by them!

That was the attention I yearned for so much!

How much she hated and resented the fact that her blue hair and pupils were different from Kim Seobang’s.

But how can you gaze at my true self so entranced? If not for fate!

No! Even if we weren’t bound by fate, I would never let you go! You must be my groom no matter what!

I gave you my all in a moment, but it was never regrettable!

If I have a shameful desire to be treated like an object, what’s wrong with that? It’s fortunate that we’re so tightly entwined! You should understand such a preference, right? Now we are husband and wife, aren’t we?

Hehe..! I hope the day comes soon when you treat me as your true wife!

Yet you still see me as a friend, so I’ll endure.

Even the goblins said we had to progress step by step….

Though I declared myself your tool without hesitation….

Still, I… have waited for someone like you for a long time. Waiting is familiar to me.

But… don’t make me wait too long, okay?

My groom. My king….

Thump thump…

The sound of his heart was still sweet.

Hayangdi suddenly fell silent, which was a bit perplexing.

Initially, I thought she needed to receive punishment for the second trial, given the many gods present, but now, with no gods around, it was strange that this chatterbox was quiet.

We hadn’t been together for long, but she talked so much.

It made me uneasy when the noisy atmosphere suddenly turned quiet, as if a pin could drop.

Is there still a misunderstanding? No, right? We successfully convinced each other that we were not king or tool, but friends.

She quickly returned to her lively self.

We also finished the problematic buckwheat jelly salad deliciously.

Although she shed tears while trembling, saying it was more sinful to eat something ordinary….

I can’t help but think that the aftermath of the buckwheat jelly salad still lingers.

I notice her subtly struggling with me…

Unconsciously using honorifics with me…

“Are you feeling unwell, Hayang?”

“No..? Oops! Another mistake! Oh, no? I’m not sick or angry! Hehe. Just dozed off listening to Kim Seobang’s heartbeat for a moment!”

“Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry, sorry. I was worried.”

“It’s okay! Kim Seobang’s embrace is so warm and comfortable!”

“Really? Well, that’s good… Go back to sleep. There’s still a long way to go before we reach our destination.”

“Yeah! But if you need help, wake me up anytime? We’re friends! I’ll help you with everything!”

“Thank you.”

Phew.. Thank goodness it’s not because of any pain. I was just sleepy.

Not long after we met, I couldn’t help but worry if my friend was feeling unwell…

By the way, it’s already been two hours since Sari went out for reconnaissance. When is she coming back?

“Squawk!”

Oh! There comes Sari!

Feeling lost at the crossroads, I had no choice but to ask Sari for reconnaissance.

It was all because of the messy map of Heaven.

Although it was a makeshift map with prominent features noted at the crossroads, the terrain here was full of clouds and looked similar, making it a trap even though the features were detailed.

Even this time, if the crossroads come up, it says to go in the direction of the sharp cloud, but…

So, if there are sharp-looking clouds on both sides now, where should we go exactly?

Why bother writing everything down when you could just mark it with an arrow and not waste space by writing it all out?

Could it be that there aren’t even arrows here?

Hmm… I don’t really know.

I’ve always lived in the village, so I should have had a reason to look at the map….

“Ah… By the way, it seems like I spent too much time finding the way.”

I thought I’d have plenty of time since they gave me a week for the test, but I was wrong.

If I make a wrong turn and get lost, won’t I just waste a week without even trying the challenge? Shouldn’t they subtract the travel time a bit?

Fortunately, Sari was there.

With infinite stamina and faster than a horse, Sari would always go out for reconnaissance whenever things got ambiguous like this.

Seeing ‘From the crossroads, follow the path down towards the sharp cloud, and you will find Cat Land’ written on the map, this reconnaissance might be the last one.

Bam!

Sari, who had suddenly approached right in front of me, relaxed as soon as she arrived.

“Master! You have to go straight ahead..! It will take about a day from here to the village on foot..! There are so many cats..!”

“Really? Was this the right way? Oh.. I almost went the other way..! I’m glad you wanted to go this way, Sari. I thought this was the right path without any doubt…. That could have been a big problem, right? I did well to listen to Sari. By the way, besides cats, were there any people? Were there no people?”

Shake shake.

Huh? No people?

“Hmm… First of all, Sari, you’ve worked hard, so let’s take a break.”

“Yes! But Master…! I’m hungry!”

“Oh, really? Should I scoop up some food with a ladle for you? Or should it be iron?”

“Not that… I… want to eat love…”

In my opinion, Sari’s timid request for love in a small voice was adorable.

This is a signal from Sari asking me for affectionate gestures.

I held Sari’s hand as she bowed deeply and led her to a secluded corner with dense clouds.

Blushing shyly, Sari obediently followed along as I led her.

As soon as we entered the corner, I gently lifted Sari’s chin with my hand and softly kissed her lips.

Smack!

“Mmm.. chu!”

As if asking when she had been shy, Sari passionately rushed towards me, wrapping her thin arms around my neck and opening her mouth to push her tongue inside.

In response, I wrapped my arms around Sari’s slender waist, pulling her close to me, and delicately stroked her neatly braided gray hair with my other hand.

“Chuuk.. Hmm.. chu.. Master. Yes.. Love.. Tastes good.. Chuup.. Chu.. Smack!”

“Yes, that’s right.. Let’s eat a lot of love, Sari? Smack!”

Hmm.. Feeling Sari’s elastic body through my clothes was so pleasant…

With a sudden motion, I pulled Sari’s waist harder, making her body press firmly against mine. Sensing my intentions, Sari also firmly pressed her elastic curves against my chest.

For a while, hidden in the clouds, we passionately intertwined our tongues, feeding each other love with fervor.
