Chapter Index

    In a dark room, it was so dark that I could see the silhouette, but I couldn’t see the expression.

    It felt like my vision was blocked. But it actually made my whole body more sensitive.

    The sound of a blanket being lifted was heard. “Sweet,” the skin brushed over it.

    My sense of touch became more sensitive. Since I couldn’t see it, I thought, “What is this?” and sensitively accepted everything that came into contact with my hand.

    In fact, I felt like I was going to die of exhaustion.

    But what was more important than that was to prevent Kylon from being intimidated like this, so I had no choice but to grit my teeth and hold on.

    My eyes were haggard, but Kylon couldn’t see my eyes right now.

    So, all I had to do was just raise my voice like this.

    “Veronica, everything is good… Aren’t you tired?”

    “… I’m tired.”

    “Then let’s rest.”

    “No matter how tired you are, can’t you give me a kiss?”

    “That’s not true… Ah Okay. I’ll close my eyes.”

    Kailon couldn’t overcome my words in the end, so he sighed.

    Actually, I couldn’t tell if my eyes were closed or open, but whatever. Even if you open your eyes, you won’t be able to see the other person’s eyes.

    Even if you were very close, you would only know that the eyes were open, but you wouldn’t know what the eyes were for, so I put my head in with confidence.

    Because it wasn’t visible, I had to fumble my hand once or twice, and it felt a little sloppy, but that didn’t make Kylon laugh.

    Maybe he knew that he couldn’t do anything about it since he couldn’t see it anyway.

    Or maybe I just don’t have the strength to smile.

    I guess it didn’t matter.

    Because I knew the location, all I had to do was bring my face closer.

    The black shape got closer and closer. As I pressed my lips together, I felt a unique soft texture on my lips that was clearly different from other skin.

    I could tell right away by feeling that our lips matched.

    After that light kiss, I carefully pulled away and took a seat next to him.

    There was an awkward silence. In the past, I felt embarrassed when I became this quiet, but now I don’t have that feeling at all.

    Still, no matter how comfortable it was, I felt like I would fall asleep if I kept my mouth shut like this, so I had no choice but to open my mouth right away.

    “Kylon.”

    “… Yes.”

    What came back was a weak voice.

    Over and over again, we thought we owed each other something, and each time, the burden on each other’s hearts grew, one by one.

    Because she tried to handle it on her own, her heart could be said to be foolish, but it could also be said to be beautiful.

    The moment I and Kailon realized that we were indebted to each other, we were able to get rid of this not-so-beautiful feeling.

    So I had to liquidate it.

    The moment you have more debt in your heart, it will collapse.

    I continued speaking with the conviction that I should not allow helplessness to dominate my body.

    “… I was saved from Kylon.”

    What came back was silence.

    Nevertheless, I continued speaking.

    It wasn’t a story that needed an answer, so I opened my mouth.

    “Do you remember the day we first met? I was saved from Kylon.”

    “Remember.”

    “I was really grateful back then.”

    “… Yes.”

    “Me and you. If it weren’t for Kylon, no matter how immortal my body was, it would have eventually broken down. Kylon. Kylon might not be able to do it without me. That could be reality. But, I can’t do it without you either. That’s reality again.”

    Kylon just kept his mouth shut like he was dead.

    Didn’t say anything.

    So my opportunities to speak increased.

    “Do I have to do something alone? Thanks to Kylon, I stayed sane and helped Kylon. Thanks to my help, Kylon healed his wounds and fought on my behalf.”

    “… … .”

    “Wouldn’t we be happier if we were together?”

    “Veronica.”

    “I like you. So I wish you were by my side It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be strong or that you need it. It’s just that, since you are the one who gave me my heart, I hope you don’t just take it and leave on your own.”

    “… huh. Ah, okay.”

    “If you really think this is a debt, pay it back. This is what we can see in the original world, right?”

    “… Yes, of course.”

    Kailon’s voice was weak, but he answered me quickly.

    Rather than being tired, the voice was somewhat depressed. It also felt like it was getting better little by little.

    Yes, there was no reason to be strong now.

    All we had to do was hold hands and help anyone get through it.

    Even if I were to play an active role here right now, I just thought that the most important thing was for each person to do what they could do well, just as I couldn’t go back to the original world and do my part.

    Yes, each person finds his or her own place.

    The seat next to Kylon was my seat, and I just hope that the seat next to me is Kylon’s seat.

    Relationships are always difficult, and I didn’t know that it would be difficult to be next to each other if we didn’t allow each other, so I desperately hoped for it.

    So I said that spell.

    “I love you.”

    Kylon’s voice came out as he tried to hold back his emotions.

    And then his mouth opened, and a tear-soaked voice spat out words.

    “I’m sorry, I wasn’t enough, so I ended up relying on you again… ”

    “… It’s all for me.”

    I hugged Kailon carefully, and he hugged me tightly too.

    As if comforting a crying child, they rubbed their backs, and their bodies were pressed against each other as they lay down.

    At the feeling of my chest being pressed down, a groan escaped my throat. For a moment, Kailon placed his chin on top of my head and spoke sobbingly.

    “It hurts… Even though… !”

    “If I lose like this, it will hurt even more.”

    “… Tsk.”

    “What will I do if Kylon dies? I am afraid of what will happen if I get caught by those people. So desperate. I don’t know what’s left after I run away because I don’t want to get sick.”

    I wanted to prevent myself from going down the worst path.

    That’s why I desperately wanted it.

    “I like you, so I wanted to go back to the original world together. If I go back, I will end up living on you, not knowing how to do anything. But then, do you want me to keep increasing the debt in my heart like you? Otherwise, you don’t want to live with me?”

    “What, what are you talking about… ! I told you we would go together!”

    “Yes, we will be together then, and I will continue to receive help from Kailon at that time. Because I don’t have a house, money or anything. Because I have nothing but you… ”

    “Okay, sorry… I did it because I didn’t want to turn a blind eye to you when I saw you were sick… But it’s a debt. So, I’ll pay you back, I’ll pay you back for the rest of my life.”

    I said this so that we wouldn’t burden each other with debt. However, Kailon, on the other hand, considered this a debt and said he would pay it back.

    I couldn’t understand why saying good things to each other became a debt, and why I had to live with the feeling of repaying, so I gently pressed Kailon’s back.

    “It’s not a debt… ”

    “… what’s the matter. It’s a lifetime.”

    “The moment the word debt is added to a loving heart, it becomes closer to duty than love. Kylon, it’s just something you have to do, so you’re going to treat me like that?”

    “No, sorry, I was short-thinking. Well, I will do that.”

    In the end, my flock was eaten.

    To be honest, the moment debt entered my heart, I didn’t like it because my heart didn’t feel pure, so I had no choice but to do it this way.

    How long had it been like that before I heard Kailon yawning softly.

    It seemed like he was trying desperately to hold back, but few people can completely stop yawning.

    “Sleepy?”

    “… Yes.”

    After a moment of silence, I thought I should go to sleep while Kailon answered cautiously, so I asked him one last time to check his feelings.

    “So, if I keep helping you, is it a debt?”

    “It’s not debt. I won’t think of it as a debt.”

    “Yes. Let’s work hard and go back. If I work hard here, you work hard there. Kylon.”

    “Yes… Definitely, let’s do that.”

    “Then stamp your promise.”

    As he said that, Kylon wriggled his hands.

    Then he poked my side with his hand.

    “Why are you like this?”

    When I asked that question seriously, Kailon asked back in a puzzled voice.

    “Isn’t this something called a promise seal? That finger promise.”

    “Who does that these days?”

    I slapped Kailon’s hand away, raised my head, and placed my mouth on the face that seemed to be looking down at me.

    I thought it would be here sensuously, so the moment I touched it, there were lips there as if I had been hit.

    The moment our mouths met, Kailon’s hand, which had jumped away, grabbed my waist and pulled me tight.

    And then their mouths gradually opened, and soon their tongues came out and started exploring each other’s lips.

    The moment when lips met lips and tongues met and began to mix.

    I even forgot that I was tired and was just immersed in the other person.

    When I said that the only thing I could think of was you right now, it felt like the best thing.
