Decide on an answer and spit it out.

“I… Honestly, I don’t know what to say. Because it was so unexpected, I couldn’t even decide on an answer. so… I hope you give me some time. Even if I can’t, please give me a week and I will definitely give you an answer.”

Maybe she will accept my words like this.

Rather, they may reject it, saying it is not the right answer.

However, this was the best answer I could give for now.

‘It can be frustrating.’

Some people will look at me and feel frustrated.

Even when I think about it, there are quite a few parts like that.

There is nothing wrong with just accepting her feelings without saying anything.

Do I hate her?

That’s not it. If you think about it, it’s actually better.

But is there not enough Lewen?

That wasn’t even the case.

Far from being lacking, he is actually too much for someone like me to embrace, so it would be a normal person to accept a confession.

However, the reason I accepted her confession right away was because of the weight of my heart that she gave me.

The only feelings I have for her are like liking her.

On the contrary, the feelings she sends to me are probably more sincere than anything else.

Even if I accepted her feelings in a half-hearted state, I didn’t think it would develop into a proper relationship.

It’s foolish.

Someone will hear my thoughts and say that.

‘It’s foolish, right.’

It was something I was aware of myself.

It makes frustrating things that can be done without being frustrating, and makes foolish things that can be done without being foolish.

Is there anyone more foolish than this?

But I have been.

I acted foolishly and acted like a fool.

I have lived a frustrating life.

There were many times when they were applied negatively to my life.

Ultimately, those things made me who I am today.

So it will be like that this time too.

So that something like what happened with Arina never happens again.

I will do my best to get her to respond to my feelings.

That was the answer to my current question.

“Ha… ”

Llewen’s mouth opened and a sigh flowed out.

I wondered if he didn’t like my answer, but looking at his expression, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

After licking her lips several times for a moment, she speaks.

“Really… That’s your answer.”

“… ”

“It’s a compliment, so raise your eyebrows.”

I smiled awkwardly and she fell into my arms again.

As her hands wandered, not knowing what to do, she spoke again.

“In times like this, just hug me.”

“… Yes.”

I held her carefully.

A state of feeling warmth while embracing each other.

Excited.

The heartbeat gradually becomes faster.

Looking at the heat rising to my face, it seemed like it would be quite red.

I barely breathed and cooled off.

It was my first time doing something like this, so I felt a little awkward.

Still, this act of feeling someone’s warmth felt very good.

“… Are you accepting it?”

I asked, feeling her warmth.

Llewen, who was burying her face in my arms, raised her face for a moment, met my gaze, and answered.

“Where is the answer? This is a great opportunity for me. Thanks to you, I can stay with Kariel for at least a week. Instead, we act like lovers for a week.”

“… I understand.”

There was nothing wrong with me, and it would have been better to do so so that I could make up my mind more clearly later.

“It’s a promise.”

Lewen holds out her little finger.

I knew what the act was.

A little finger hanging, usually done by young children, to promise that they have made a promise.

In fact, it was a meaningless action that had no effect and was only done when children were young.

“Good.”

I willingly responded to her actions.

*

Originally, I should have gotten information about the devil and left long ago, but I ended up living with Llewen for a week.

Llewen told me to act like a lover while they were together, so I started living with her as much as possible, recognizing her as a lover.

Personally, I thought it would be quite awkward at first.

I’ve never dated anyone before, and even when I was living with Arina, I had feelings for him, but we never did anything to call him a lover.

Contrary to my thought that it would be quite awkward, I didn’t feel as awkward as I thought.

Even if we treated them like lovers, it wasn’t much different from usual.

I treat him more gently than usual and give him some skinship?

Since they weren’t really lovers, there was a certain line between them.

I did most of the things that couples would do, such as hugging or holding hands and going for a walk.

We tried to sleep separately, but because of Llewen’s strong insistence that we sleep together in the same bed, we had no choice but to sleep together.

Even if we sleep together, all we do is sleep in my arms.

Given the circumstances, it could be said that it was quite a difficult time.

Anyway, a day passed and the next day dawned.

I woke up with a yawn, rubbing my sleepy eyes.

Unlike usual, I feel the warmth in my arms.

When I turned my head slightly, I saw Lewen sleeping soundly in my arms.

‘Sleep well.’

He must have felt a little uncomfortable, but he seemed to be sleeping so soundly that even someone carrying him would not notice it, as if there was no such thing at all.

I try to move my body carefully so as not to wake Llewen.

“Don’t go… ”

At her single word, I stopped moving.

I looked at her to see if she was awake, but she didn’t feel conscious.

Because the breath she was exhaling belonged to a sleeping person.

If so, I think he said it in his sleep, but it was a wonder how he knew to get away with it.

‘I’ll be resting for the next few days anyway, so I guess I’ll stay still.’

Since I haven’t had a good rest recently, I decided to take this opportunity to rest well.

I was spending time holding Lewen carefully.

“Umm… ?”

Llewen’s eyes, which were in her arms, cautiously opened.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.

“Haam… Kariel… ”

Her voice, completely submerged, spread low.

I said with a faint smile.

“Are you awake? Holy woman.”

“… Lewen. My name is not Saint… It’s Lewen… ”

He narrows his eyes and gives a dissatisfied look.

Only then did I realize my mistake and burst into laughter.

“Sorry. It doesn’t stick to my mouth yet.”

“Just this time… ”

After saying that, he buries his face further into my arms.

It seems like they want to stay like this a while longer.

“Lewen. Didn’t you say you were going down to the village today?”

Sadly, today was the day she said she was going down to the village.

When Lewen heard those words, she puffed out her cheeks as if she didn’t like something.

“I just want to stay like this… ”

“Didn’t you ask us to go down to the village yesterday so that we could use our mouths?”

“Yes, but… There’s something about Kariel’s embrace that’s so nice…”

“You still have to leave.”

“Chit.”

“Can’t you see it that way?”

“Okay. You just have to get up.”

Grumbling as if this was happening countless times, Llewen moved little by little and got out of my arms. I ended up laughing at the movement that clearly showed that he didn’t want to move.

“Do you really not want to go?”

“Rather than saying I don’t want to go, I should say I don’t want to leave… Can’t we just stay a little longer?”

Lewen looks at me with pitiful eyes.

I couldn’t bear to say no to those eyes.

“Do whatever you want. Anyway, Lewen asked me to go to the village.”

At those words, Llewen returned to my arms in an instant.

It was quite absurd to see his eyes sparkling in my arms as if asking when he was going to leave.

If you don’t want to go so much, why did you insist on going out yesterday?

I took a little break with the thought that I would never have to look at it again from now on.

***

Somewhere in the Empire.

There was a being walking through the devastated land.

The being stopped midway and stretched out its hand in the air.

A hand that is blocked by something while moving through the air.

As the being ignores the resistance and continues to push in, a huge monster’s groan is heard.

Kkkk!

At the same time, the ground began to shake.

Vibrations can be felt all over the ground, but soon they gather in front of the being.

Kugoogung!

A monster that appears through the ground.

A monster in the shape of a centipede looks at the being.

The being said.

“Go and get rid of it. Everything that is trampling on this land. “

As if the monster had understood the being’s words, it went back into the ground and was heading in one direction. The location in that direction was toward the outskirts of the empire.

The being looked at that place and spoke quietly.

“Get rid of this world. So, saint. Die gracefully there.”

With those words, the man turned around and disappeared somewhere.
