Chapter 83: Hello loricon and garbage

Puuu-ding~♪ Puuu-ding! This is good~♫ ♬

Pfft! Leah, what are you doing?

Hehehe, I made a song about pudding and sang it.

Leah, who had returned home after completing her guild’s regular inspection, seemed to be in a very good mood.

Of course, that might be because I gave her three puddings as a reward for doing well on the inspection.

Om nom nom~ Pudding is so soft, it’s really good.

Leah, sitting in a chair, swinging her feet and singing, was so cute it made me smile involuntarily.

I sat in a chair and gazed at Leah, who was completely absorbed in her pudding.

‘When I first brought her home, she was such a tomboy… *Sniffle*! To see our child develop like this, I’m filled with emotion.’

In truth, there’s still a long way to go.

Leah might look like an ordinary girl, but she is, in fact, a bona fide urban legend.

And not just any, but one of the top-tier, ‘Calamity-grade’ urban legends.

That means she knows absolutely nothing about the manners and common sense of this place.

‘Luna was similar, but Leah’s case is very different.

Only I knew about Luna’s existence, and since she had no emotions, she barely acted independently, so there were no problems.’

However, the existence of our purple-eyed knightess is known to everyone in the guild, and they even meet her frequently.

In such a situation, if Leah does something unexpected, there’s a possibility she could be separated from me and isolated.

‘I must prevent that at all costs.

If Leah feels insecure, she might go berserk like Luna.’

Since guild duties ended early, it was the perfect time to educate Leah on manners.

Hmph… There’s only one pudding left already… Happiness has disappeared too quickly…

I carefully moved behind Leah, who was engrossed in her pudding.

Leah, are you sad the pudding is gone so quickly?

Ung, I want to savor it, but I can’t.

Sihyun, can you not give me more pudding?

Perfect timing.

I was just about to tell Leah a good way to get more pudding.

H-Huh?! I-Is that really true?

Of course, it’s true.

There’s a very simple method.

–Swoop.

I placed my hand on Leah’s waist, applying pressure so she couldn’t escape.

H-Hunyaaat?! S-Sihyun?

Leah, we’re going to have a special lesson now, so you need to be well-behaved.

S-Special… lesson?

Hyaat…!

B-But why are you touching my waist…!

Haah!

Because it’ll be difficult if you move.

Leah, you just need to sit still.

I’ve already prepared everything.

Like flashcards and old fairy tale books used to teach children.

I bought various things in advance as a down payment, hoping Leah would learn common sense easily and enjoyably.

‘Maybe I have a talent for teaching girls?’

Leah’s purple eyes widened slightly, and she began to fidget, twisting her body.

S-Sihyun…!

I-I’m not ready yet…!

I know you like me, Sihyun, but this is too, too fast…!

No, it’s not fast.

Honestly, I’ve held back too much until now.

Today, I won’t give in.

I’ve already bought a lot of tools.

H-Hiccup…!

T-T-Tools…!

Don’t be too scared.

These are custom tools prepared for a girl who knows nothing, like Leah.

You can just stay still.

If you follow along with what I do, you’ll get used to it quickly.

Leah’s face turned bright red, and she began to cover her chest with both hands.

Hauuuuugh…!

I-I’m a-a first-timer, so p-please be gentle…

I’ve taught her greetings and various other things before, so why is she saying it’s her first time?

‘Ah, she means she’ll sit still and listen well, so I should teach her gently.’

I gently stroked the girl’s cheek, signifying that I understood Leah’s feelings completely.

Hahahaha, don’t worry.

You trust me, right, Leah?

U-Ung…!

Sihyun treasures me and likes me… so I trust you…!

–Squeeze!

Leah, with a face flushed red like a persimmon, burrowed into my embrace.

S-Sihyun…!

I’ve prepared myself, but I actually don’t know much about those things.

I might be clumsy, is that okay…?

Even better.

I can teach Leah exactly how I want, in the direction I like, can’t I?

S-Sihyun wants to discipline me as he pleases…?

Why, do you dislike it?

I-I don’t dislike it, but… I actually don’t even know what comes after a ki-ki-kiss, so I’m worried…!

–Flinc!

The moment the word ‘kiss’ came out of Leah’s mouth, I understood everything.

‘Oh, crap…!

She completely misunderstood my words about a lesson!’

No wonder she was twisting her body so much and covering her chest with her hands.

It seemed Leah had understood that I was going to teach her ‘something naughty.’

S-Sihyun…!

I’m ready…!

Uuuum…!

Leah, still seated, squeezed her eyes shut and puckered her lips forward.

A cute sight of an innocent child trying to imitate an adult’s kiss.

……That’s how it might seem, but I actually knew.

How big a decision Leah had just made, and how much she was trembling.

–Tremble, tremble, tremble.

The moment I saw Leah trembling, not from fear but from nervousness, I simply couldn’t tell her she had misunderstood.

‘If I say it was a misunderstanding now… Leah will be incredibly embarrassed.

And…!

If I mess up, Leah’s heart, which has barely opened, might close again!’

That absolutely cannot happen!

I internally screamed ‘Sorry, Luna!’ and ‘If I’m going to be trash, I’ll be absolute trash!’ a hundred times each as I approached Leah, who was waiting for a kiss.

****

We’re going to have a special lesson.

As Sihyun’s hand brushed against her waist, her heart began to pound strangely.

–Thump-thump!

The moment she saw the sticky desire filling Sihyun’s eyes, eyes that had always been kind and affectionate, the girl knew.

‘S-Sihyun desperately desires me…!!’

Leah was slightly scared by Sihyun’s sudden display of desire, yet at the same time, she was happy.

‘He… likes me, an urban legend…?’

Although she lacked power, she was an urban legend.

An ordinary person like Sihyun should be too afraid to even approach her, yet he not only came closer but even said he liked her.

‘Sihyun definitely wants to k-k-kiss me…!’

Leah knew that men and women who liked each other would kiss.

But she had no idea what lay beyond that.

So, thinking she might make a mistake, she even tried to push him away slightly, but,

No, I can’t hold back any longer.

He showed not an inch of retreat.

Leah’s heart began to pound even harder for Sihyun, who confidently declared his intentions like a knight who had seized his target.

‘Huuuugh… Sihyun is so greedy, he named me and now he wants to take another one of my firsts…’

The girl decided to accept him, who was showing such straightforward love, like a man.

S-Sihyun…!

I don’t know what comes after a kiss, but please be gentle…!

The girl closed her eyes and waited for him to approach.

But was he feeling shy?

Sihyun took a deep breath and seemed to hesitate slightly.

Leah thought Sihyun was probably nervous because it was his first time too.

‘Hehehe… Sihyun is a first-timer too… I feel kind of happy.’

–Swoop.

Soon, a warm, yet rough hand gently cupped Leah’s face.

His breath, slowly drawing nearer, lingered close to the girl’s nose.

The usual warm and leisurely feeling, but now a little more serious and gentle.

Hauuuuugh…!

Now I’m having my f-first kiss with Sihyun…!

Leah trembled slightly and squeezed her eyes shut.

The girl, clenching her trembling fingertips as she waited for the kiss, looked just like a shivering kitten.

At that moment,

–Smooch.

Sihyun’s warm lips gently touched one of the girl’s cheeks.

Huuuaaaah…!

I-It touched…!

She had worried that Sihyun’s kiss, revealing his desire, would be rough and scary, but his lips were neither rough nor greedy at all.

Quite the opposite.

A kiss softer and more careful than pudding.

It was a kiss that ‘considered’ the girl, as if checking ‘if even this was okay.’

–Ding! –Ding!

Leah felt an illusion, as if bells were ringing in her head.

‘Si… Sihyun… is truly… gentle…’

After a few seconds of a brief cheek kiss, Sihyun met Leah’s gaze.

The girl, with slightly unfocused eyes, was smiling faintly, as if embarrassed.

Today, it’ll just be a kiss on the cheek.

Let’s have our first kiss after you open your heart to me a little more.

U-Ung…!

Y-Yes, that would be good!

I’m sorry.

Was it too sudden?

S-Sorry…? What does that mean?

Sihyun took out a few flashcards and showed them to the girl.

[Sorry]

‘Sorry’ is written like this.

It’s what you say when you’ve hurt someone.

S-Sorry…

Leah placed her finger on the table and carefully tried to write the word.

Haha, you wrote ‘S-sorry’?

It’s wrong, but you did well for a first try.

Hehehe, Sihyun!

Then what does this mean?

Leah tapped the [Thank you] flashcard next to [Sorry] with her finger.

This is what you say when someone has done something good for you.

Th-Thank y-you…

The girl lowered her head slightly and mumbled quietly, then suddenly leaped into Sihyun’s embrace.

–Squeeze!

Leah?

Uhm… Sihyun, it’s ‘thank you’ for being considerate and giving me a cheek kiss instead of a kiss.

And don’t say ‘sorry.’

Because I don’t dislike it when Sihyun desires me as a woman…!

Hehehe.

Really?

Ung!

If Sihyun wants… I can accept it.

So, it’s not ‘sorry’!

Sihyun, hearing the girl’s comforting words, chuckled softly and stroked her head.

Haha, alright.

Then from now on, I’ll try to hear ‘thank you’ more than ‘sorry.’

Hehehe, that’s all I need.

–Rub-rub.

Leah, seemingly satisfied, rubbed her face against his chest, making a pleased sound like a cat.

‘My heart… becomes soft like pudding when I’m with Sihyun.

It’s a strange… feeling, but it’s not bad.

Hehehe.’

Uhm… Sihyun.

Hmm?

Please continue to teach me various things from now on.

Of course.

Anything Leah wishes for.

Hehehe, ung!

Anything I wish for…!

The girl’s purple eyes momentarily turned dark crimson, but Sihyun didn’t notice at all.

****

I stroked the happy Leah, relieved that I had handled the situation well.

Phew… I really just barely got through that.

Leah wasn’t hurt, and I even taught her some words, so isn’t this a good outcome?

Ahh… See?

It’s simple, isn’t it?

This is a world where no one gets hurt.

Just then, a familiar notification sound broke the self-congratulatory mood in my ears.

*Ding!*

[Ugh… Even with me and Luna around… you’re laying your hands on Leah too…!

Sir Sihyun is a philandering, trashy lolicon…!!

*Sniff, sniff*…!]

[߹ – ߹]

‘Um… I have nothing to say to that.

I’m truly sorry!

I’ve committed a grave sin!

So please, don’t cry yet—’

[Waaahhhhhhh—!!

S-Sir Sihyun is a philanderer—!!]

[ㅠ3ㅠ]

The Notification Window cried out in 3D sound right in my ear.

It seemed I had created a world where I hurt Luna and the Notification Window, ‘two girls.’

Hahahaha, I’m screwed, aren’t I?

How am I going to appease this now?
