Chapter 50: Familiar Scent of a Man from an Unfamiliar Woman

Chapter 50: Familiar Scent of a Man from an Unfamiliar Woman

“Huh…?”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

I clenched and unclenched my hands in the face of overwhelming confusion.

This is the mark that appeared on my hand after waking up crying from a dream I don’t remember.

No matter how much I rubbed it, it wouldn’t disappear, and even when I showed it to Scarlett, she just kissed me and told me to stop playing.

So, I just left it as it was.

It was a mark I hadn’t paid much attention to because it didn’t have any significant negative effects, but.

‘What on earth is this?’

Perhaps because I was so surprised, I felt like the drug’s effects were slightly wearing off.

“Th-that…”

Should I tell her about this?

As Scarlett approached with a puzzled expression.

I mumbled, searching for words.

Then, as she climbed onto the bed in a cat-like pose.

I naturally grabbed Scarlett’s shoulder.

“..Can’t we?”

“I told you we can’t for a while. So…”

Drip, drip-

Scarlett, who was about to refuse my suggestion as usual today.

However, when I rubbed my soft pussy against her thigh, her eyes changed slightly.

It seemed Scarlett was also holding back a lot.

“I shouldn’t be doing this…”

Even as she said that, Scarlett brought her lips closer to my face.

Her slow breaths reached my nose.

Our gazes met, and the atmosphere became strangely heated.

Kiss.

I was the one who initiated it.

I lightly kissed her lips and ran my hand over her soft waist.

My head spun from her pleasant scent.

“Young Lady.. Hyup.. Slurp..”

Scarlett’s deep kiss, which naturally overlapped our lips.

I trembled, mingling our tongues stickily.

Sex while on drugs is truly the best.

When the drug that melts my body and the skin of Scarlett, whom I truly love, touch.

The happiness is indescribable.

‘It keeps getting hotter..’

In the midst of that hot and intense deep kiss.

My gaze drifted to the constantly heating mark.

What is that thing that’s hurting my hand?

But it felt very familiar.

A sensation that something was about to surface.

Flashed through my mind.

****

“Ugh.. Ugh..”

For some reason, my hand felt itchy.

It’s strange. I took the injection before bed and slept.

But I woke up in the middle of the night.

‘It’s nothing…’

Then why did I wake up?

I lifted my heavy eyelids and looked around.

It was dark all around.

That made sense. I fell asleep after having sex all day.

“Heehee..”

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I found the cause of the itch on my hand.

It was none other than Lucy.

Lucy, who had been babbling, was licking my hand with a smile.

Perhaps because her tongue is short, she kept her lips tightly closed.

Pfft..

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her cute appearance.

Is there any creature cuter than Lucy in this world?

Except for Scarlett. She is beautiful, cute, and possesses perfect charm.

It’s natural for her to be the best.

I gently stroked Lucy’s head and then withdrew my hand.

Seeing her mouth smacking and lips puckering.

Instead of my hand, I hugged her body.

“Hehe.. Augh..”

Is she having a good dream?

After gently stroking her smooth horns, I closed my eyes again.

It was then.

-Wait a minute! Wake up!

“Hee, hiyaat?!”

A booming voice echoed in my head.

I almost screamed in surprise, but I managed to hold it back.

No, what is going on?

I looked around with a bewildered expression.

But there was no way anyone else could be in this sanctuary.

-Where are you looking? I’m right here!

“Hee.. Ugh.”

As the voice sounded again, I covered my mouth, feeling like I would scream.

Was the drug’s effect too strong?

Thinking so, I gently got off the bed.

Since only a small amount of the drug was injected, my head is clearer than I expected.

-Your hand, look at your hand!

‘My hand…?’

The voice echoed again.

Ouch..

At the same time, my hand suddenly felt hot, so I quickly raised my stinging hand.

And there it was, a glowing red symbol.

-You’re finally looking this way! I’m so touched..

“Wh-what…”

This is truly absurd.

Am I finally going crazy? I rubbed my eyes.

And then I waved my hand in the air.

-Aaaah, I’m dizzy.. Please stop..

The voice immediately reacted to my actions.

The situation is hard to understand.

This is a world with dragons, magic, and all sorts of magical artifacts.

But a symbol suddenly appearing on my hand was.

Hard to accept.

-Whoa, whoa. Calm down. Maybe this will help you remember.

POW!

Then, a familiar firework popped in front of my eyes.

“Huh..?”

Suddenly.

A lump formed in my throat.

“Ah.. Mister..?”

-You remember the fireworks better than my voice.. Sob, my heart aches..

Thump.

I couldn’t help but sit down on the floor.

My legs gave out from the suddenness of the situation.

“Ah.. Mister..”

At the same time, a memory flooded my mind.

In it, an uncle with a sad face was saying goodbye to me.

A dream.

I immediately realized this was the dream I had before.

-Haha, really.. I don’t like making Young Lady cry..

“How.. How did this happen..? I thought.. we.. couldn’t meet again..”

Drip, drip.

My eyes welled up with emotion.

And tears flowed down my cheeks and onto the floor.

At that time.

It was exactly like that.

We wouldn’t be able to meet again.

“Sob, kkeuk.. Mister.. Mister..”

I held my trembling hands to my chest.

The overwhelming sorrow.

And the longing.

And the joy.

All gathered, covering my chest and making my nose tingle.

-..It’s been a while.

The man’s voice said.

How did this happen?

“Pl-please explain.. Haha.. to me..”

I sniffled and said in a small voice, trying not to wake Scarlett.

Laughter mixed with my tears.

-I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again either..

The man paused for a moment and then spoke in a slightly lower voice.

-The handkerchief I gave you. You haven’t thrown it away yet, have you?

I nodded vigorously at his question.

I never threw it away. No, how could I?

I always kept it in my pocket, and when I couldn’t, I tied it around my finger.

Even when I failed to escape and my mind was broken.

Even when I was drugged.

I never lost it and cherished it dearly.

-Young Lady’s magic circuit was damaged, so I couldn’t stay with you any longer.. but there was just the right amount of magic left in the handkerchief.

The man added playfully, pausing shamelessly.

-So, it took root on Young Lady’s hand.

“Really.. Where have you been all this time..”

I let out a chuckle.

I was happy, but for some reason, tears flowed endlessly.

I sobbed for a long time, hugging the symbol.

When my crying had almost subsided.

-It’s a shame I can’t wipe your tears.

“Ugh.. You’re still as cheesy as ever.”

It feels good.

Should I say it feels like meeting a family member I’ve been separated from for a long time?

We chatted and joked for a long time.

Then, as the conversation began to reach its conclusion.

-Ah, I had something to say. I must have been talking without thinking because it’s been so long.

“What is it?”

Is he going to announce our separation again?

I feel strangely anxious.

-We won’t be parting ways anymore, so don’t worry. It’s just.. about a ‘hint’ for escape.

“Escape..?”

Why is he suddenly talking about escape?

I can’t understand.

Why do I have to escape? I prefer my life with Scarlett, Lucy, and the drugs.

The man seemed to anticipate my reaction.

-As expected. Your condition has worsened while I wasn’t looking.

“Lately, I feel anxious and scared if I don’t get the medicine, but..”

Is this a bad condition?

It’s a gift from my beloved Young Lady.

“Ugh.. Cecil..?”

As we continued our conversation.

Scarlett, who had just woken up, stirred from the bed with a sleepy voice.

-Oh dear, you’re awake. Let’s talk about this again tomorrow. For now, sleep well.

After saying that, the man fell silent.

I got up and, staggering, hugged Scarlett, who was approaching me.

“I just woke up for a moment. Let’s go back to sleep now..”

“Ugh.. Cecil.. Did you cry..?”

Her fingers gently brushed my eyes.

How did she know I cried in this darkness?

I smiled faintly and hugged her tightly.

“..Let’s go to sleep.”

“Yeah.. Okay..”

She didn’t ask any further questions.

We slowly walked to the bed and closed our eyes, hugging each other as usual.

Then, for a moment.

“..Scarlett Young Lady.”

“What is it..? It’s too late now..”

“Do you love me?”

I asked a question I didn’t know why I was asking.

I don’t even know why I said this.

Was it because the drug’s effect was slightly weaker, or was it a slip of the tongue out of joy that the man had returned?

I don’t know, but.

Kiss.

“I love you..”

Scarlett’s voice, whispering love as she kissed me.

Today, for some reason, it felt repulsive.

****

“Hoo, haa, haa..”

I felt the cold sweat on my forehead and jumped out of bed.

I’m out of breath.

Anxiety swirled in my head, and my body trembled.

Today, as usual, withdrawal symptoms greeted me.

It was bright outside the window.

Seeing the sun high in the sky, it must be lunchtime.

In the distance, I could see Oli with a dazed expression.

A memo attached to my hand was visible so I could see it clearly.

‘I’ll be back shortly. The medicine is in the drawer, so ask Lucy.’

“Ugh..”

As I trembled excessively, Lucy, rubbing her sleepy eyes, hugged me.

-Hmm.. Your condition has worsened.

The man’s voice echoed in my head, but.

I couldn’t do anything.

However, he seemed to have found a different solution.

The man cleared his throat and then.

-Ah, ah. Hey, little lady with horns. Can you hear me?

He suddenly started trying to communicate with Lucy.

“Ugh, ugh..”

At first, I thought Lucy had heard his voice because she was babbling.

But Lucy quickly ran to the drawer and took out a syringe.

She didn’t want to inject me with the medicine, but she looked like she had no choice.

Sluuurp-

“Hee, haa.. Haa..”

Finally, with Lucy’s help, the medicine entered my body.

And then, the trembling in my body stopped.

For some reason, only a minimal amount of medicine was injected, just enough to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms.

“Thank you, Lucy..”

I hugged the truly adorable Lucy tightly.

“Heehee..”

Lucy, smiling happily, patted my back.

-Hmm.. Hey, horned Young Lady! I know you can hear me! Please answer!

The man was trying to communicate with Lucy without getting tired.

No, his voice was only echoing in my head.

There’s no way she can hear that-

“..Ugh, ugh. Heehee..”

Suddenly.

Lucy’s reluctant expression was captured.

What is it?

Could it really be working?

-Hoo.. If you keep acting like this, I have my ways too..

The man said strange words in a very solemn voice.

“Augh..”

At the same time, my hand felt hot again, just like before.

What is going to happen this time?

Just as I was about to ask the man what was happening.

Swooshhhhh-

From the symbol, something shining began to slowly emanate.

The light swirled and formed a small shape in the air.

“Ah, Mister..?”

I stumbled backward from the sudden strange phenomenon.

Thud, I stumbled onto the bed and landed on my bottom on the soft sheets.

And then, I stared blankly at the slowly reconstructing figure.

The first thing I noticed were green eyes, similar to a fairy’s.

However, there were no wings, and the body wasn’t small either.

It was about the same petite height as Scarlett.

Cute choppy bangs fluttered slightly above her eyebrows.

‘What is this..’

The clothes were a modified suit, the inspiration for which was obvious.

In her playfully opened eyes, I saw the familiar man.

“Are you going to ignore me even after I’ve gone this far?!”

As her body was fully formed, the man with an arrogant face.

No, actually, she, who had now become a girl.

Smiled and looked at Lucy.
