In conclusion, Arjen was quite satisfied with the body that was toned down after the exercise. Since the other personalities also liked a strong body that allowed them to have sex for a long time, it was safe to say that building the body was successful.

“……Time flies.”

The problem is that as I start to neglect exercise again, the days start to feel longer. Since maintaining weight is more difficult than losing weight, you could ask whether you should put more effort into exercising, but unfortunately, that was not possible.

“Eugene. Hug me.”

No matter how much I am, it would be impossible to combine sex and exercise on the same day. Since I had to have sex virtually every day, exercise naturally took a backseat.

“Okay, now.”

I followed Arjen’s request and hugged her tightly. Then Arjen stuck out his lips.

“I didn’t mean it like this. This is good too.”

“Sorry, even if I do it now, I’m going to ask you to do it again tonight. Save me….”

It was good to have increased physical strength and stamina, but there was no way to train the penis itself. I had to deal with the friction during sex, but it would be difficult if I got hurt.

Although it was a problem that could be solved by using recovery magic like when exercising, using recovery magic after sex was left as a Maginot line that should not be crossed.

If I did something like that, no joke, I might have to have sex all day.

“Arjen.”

“Huh? Why?”

“…Can we go outside soon?”

When I hinted, Arjen’s expression turned scary. It was as if it was ready to eat people. Oh, it’s true that he has a lot of experience with cannibalism.

“No!!”

“Woman, isn’t that possible?”

“Why… Why are you trying to leave? You don’t want to be here with me…?”

This wasn’t a joke, it was really starting to get intense, so I hurriedly calmed the mood.

“I want to be with Arjen for the rest of my life.”

There is no lie in these words. Because it’s true that I love Arjen.

The problem is that if people live without seeing sunlight for too long, they go crazy. The name Dragon’s Lair is grand, but in the end, it is just a nest made by digging a cave.

To be honest, I’ve been holding on for the sake of Arjen. If I had stayed locked up, it’s no joke, I would have died of mental illness.

It would be nice if you could understand my feelings. Arjen continued to worry about an incident in the past where I went out for a drink one night without saying a word and almost broke up with him forever.

“So, how about going out together? Breathing in some outside air…”

“Bah, it’s dangerous out there! If you do something wrong, you’ll be eaten by a monster! It was dangerous last time too!”

Arjen reminded me of how I got lost while chasing a fairy and was almost torn in two by an ogre or a troll.

‘They had the necklace you gave them, so I didn’t think it would be a big deal anyway… but what was really dangerous was when you cut off my leg…’

Of course, saying these words out loud would only be like pouring oil on a burning house, so I kept my mouth shut.

There is no particular meaning to Arjen saying such words now. It was just to somehow prevent me from going out, so it was better to divert Arjen’s mind in a different way rather than tackle those words.

‘What should I do?’

No threats. First of all, the only thing I have to offer to Arjen is kissing and sex, so if I threaten him with this, it will only make it more difficult for him to go out. Or, it could have a negative effect on Arjen’s mental state.

The situation was different when I decided to exercise. My body type is a matter of Arjen’s taste, and he truly hates going out.

“…….”

In the end, all I could do was honestly convey my sincerity.

“Arjen.”

“…Huh?”

“To be honest, I am having a hard time. I’m so mentally exhausted from trying to stay in Rare all the time. Wouldn’t it be nice to get some sunlight, even just a little bit?”

“……No. Oh, it’s scary…”

scary. It’s probably a feeling of anxiety that you might be separated from me forever. At least while I’m in the rare, I don’t have to worry about that at all.

This was not an issue that could be persuaded no matter what I said. It wasn’t that Arjen didn’t trust me, but it meant that I was that important to him.

“…Then there’s nothing we can do.”

There was no other way to persuade Arzen, so I had no choice but to accept and endure this time. Still, there will come a day when I can go outside of Lair with Arjen.

However, my body did not follow my wishes. My body had no energy at all and my mind was blank for a long time.

Even though I thought I would be fine, I found it difficult to endure the problems caused by lack of sunlight both physically and mentally.

“Haha…♥ Yoo Ji-in…! Wrap it up, fill it up inside…!”

“Ugh, Arzen. It’s cheap.”

Byurreuk, byeuruk, byuruk!

The only vigorous movement in my daily life was sex, so this was most noticeable during sex.

Normally, I would put a lot of effort into foreplay, talk during sex, put importance on communication, and even after sex, I would cuddle and pamper Arjen as much as I could, but these days, it often spreads as soon as it ends.

“Huuuk… Huuuuk….”

“Wow…? Eugene?”

Of course, Arjen was the one who noticed the change best. As I fell helplessly onto the bed, Arjen tilted his head.

“Is it very difficult?”

“Oh no, just get some rest and you’ll be fine. Don’t worry….”

“Hehe, then pet it.”

“Okay… rest a little bit…”

In the end, my body and mind became so exhausted that I couldn’t even respond to Arjen’s direct requests. But this may have been a set procedure.

Just because we’re human doesn’t mean we don’t experience stress. A limited environment is bound to be stressful for everyone, and if you keep accumulating it instead of venting it in any form, you will inevitably become angry.

“Eh… Eugene?”

The last thing I remember was Arjen’s panicked voice. After that, my vision became blurry and my ears became deaf, so I couldn’t distinguish clearly.

***

Arjen’s mental world was on alert. Eugene collapsed. From Arjen to Luv, Kaela, and Rosé. All the personalities who had direct experience with Eugene gathered together.

“Uh, what should I do!? Eugene isn’t moving! The fever is running high, and healing magic doesn’t work!”

As Arjen made a fuss, Rose burst out laughing.

“Hahaha! You look good, human! Ever since you dared to hit my ass, I knew you would be punished someday!”

“Rosé! Now is not the time to say that!”

Rose, who had been laughing for a while at Arjen’s urging, which was slightly angry, became mute. It’s not that she wasn’t, but she was Arjen’s personality anyway, so it wasn’t like she wasn’t worried about Eugene at all.

“Well… I won’t die. Do I really have to die? Just by looking at it, he has become very strong, but it’s probably just light body aches.”

“If it was body aches, it should have been cured with magic!”

Arjen stamped his feet and looked towards Rube and Kaela. However, contrary to Arjen’s expectations, the two’s reactions were cold.

Kaela was reading with an expressionless expression, flipping through the pages of a book she had picked up from nowhere, and Rube was also looking the other way. Arjen, who could not help but raise his voice, raised his voice.

“Lube! Kaela! This is not the time! Eugene, Eugene…!”

“Why Eugene?”

When Rube, who obviously knew everything about the situation, asked, Arjen shouted in frustration.

“If this continues, Eugene might die!”

“That’s a really big deal.”

However, when Rube came out unusually calm, Arjen was speechless.

“Uh, how can you be so calm? Is there any way to save Eugene? huh? Or, as Rosé said, it’s actually not that big of a deal…”

“Both are correct. There is a way, and it’s actually not that big of a deal.”

Arjen’s complexion brightened at Luv’s words. In any case, I felt fortunate that Eugene didn’t get into trouble.

However, Arjen could not help but stiffen at Luv’s next words.

“But, Arjen, you are the one who made Eugene like that. But why are you making such a fuss?”

“What, what…? Oh, I made it like that? I never did that!”

“Don’t lie, Arjen. Eugene clearly sent a red flag. You were the one who ignored it and acted foolishly.”

Arjen looked at Rube with disbelief. At the same time, I remembered the danger signal that Eugene had sent.

‘To be honest, I’m having a hard time. I’m so mentally exhausted from trying to stay in Rare all the time. ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to get a little bit of sunlight?’

I remembered it later. No, it would be correct to say that I only realized it now. At the time, Arjen did not listen to Eugene because he thought that if he went out, they might never meet again.

“Humans cannot live their entire lives in caves. Arjen. As long as you don’t trust Eugene and keep him locked up in Rare, it was bound to happen someday.”

“Mi, I can’t believe it! I’m not like that…!”

“I know. Probably not. I know you were just worried that Eugene would disappear again like last time. That’s why I’m not mad at you. I’m a part of you too, and I know you’ll break down if Eugene goes out again.”

Arjen listened to Rube in silence. And at the words that followed, she felt like her heart was being squeezed.

“But I had to trust Eugene and overcome it. That anxiety, that fear. At least if you thought about him.”

With the mindset of loving each other, they forced pain on the other person to resolve their own insecurities.

Arjen had no choice but to admit that he himself had made him sick.
