Chapter Index

    “… … .”

    As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Sylvie sleeping right on top of me.

    It looked exactly like a crouching squirrel.

    But are there navy squirrels?

    I feel dizzy.

    Could it be that while mixing our bodies, we also exhausted our souls?

    I have no idea what time it is and how many days it has been since I came here.

    Once the fire was ignited for Sylvie and I, there was no day or night.

    I didn’t even eat.

    ‘… ‘Crazy bastards.’

    Self-deprecation burst out naturally.

    Even animals in heat are not at this level.

    ‘Has the god of sexual desire possessed me?’

    I don’t know if such a god exists.

    If not, maybe the two of us would be the origin of that god?

    The bed, which was wet with various saliva, gave off a strange smell.

    It was natural since I had been sweating for several days without coming down.

    ‘… hungry.’

    I finally feel hungry.

    This is absurd.

    I thought appetite and sleep were the top priorities for survival, but that wasn’t the case for Sylvie and I, at least for a few days.

    For us, sexual desire was more important than those two.

    I saw a window with curtains drawn.

    Judging by the lack of light, it is between dusk and dawn.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the sun.

    “Iaang… .”

    Silbi, lying on top of her, dozed off.

    I stroked that tangled navy blue hair.

    “Hehe, hehe, hehe… . Ian too… . Are you doing it again? flaw… .”

    He’s talking scary in his sleep.

    Anything more than this is torture, man… .

    “Actual cost.”

    “Ugh… .”

    “Wake up.”

    “Just a little more… .”

    It squirms and clings closer to me.

    Something squeaky hidden under the blanket was pressing on my upper body.

    It feels good anytime I touch it, but now is not the time.

    “If we starve more than this, we will collapse.”

    “Woong… ?”

    Sylvie raises her head and looks blankly at the window.

    The silence is quite long.

    Somehow, I feel like I’m thinking similarly to when I woke up.

    “… What day is it today?”

    That’s right.

    “I don’t know yet.”

    “Huh, huh… . I guess I’m really crazy… .”

    Even though she said she was crazy, the happy smile did not leave Sylvie’s face.

    After brushing her hair once, Sylvie hesitated and came up close to my face.

    After kissing her, she smiled brightly.

    “Did you sleep well?”

    “Seeing as how much I slept and when I fell asleep, I guess I slept extremely well.”

    “Hee hee. Me too.”

    Sylvie buried her head on my shoulder and muttered.

    “Good… . I’m so happy. I’m so happy, it’s like a nightmare.”

    “I’m happy, but why am I having a nightmare?”

    “It’s gone when you wake up.”

    “Thank goodness. Because it wasn’t a dream at all.”

    “That’s right. If you see your lower body swollen and in pain like this, it’s definitely not a dream.”

    “Big, big.”

    Sylvie raised one eyebrow and glared at me.

    I was embarrassed and avoided my gaze, but I also have something to say.

    “I’m not the only one to blame, right?”

    “Hee hee. That’s right.”

    Sylvie chuckled, as if wondering when she had been staring at her.

    “I’m hungry.”

    Sylvie muttered in a hoarse voice.

    “Has there been a lot accumulated? . I guess sexual desire is amazing.”

    “I’m thinking exactly the same way I did when I woke up.”

    “Ah, what is that.”

    Sylvie immediately got angry and pressed her lips to his cheek.

    “If it’s the same as you, it’s great.”

    Last night… That night was too subjective and long, but whatever.

    Starting from a certain moment last night, Sylvie’s cuteness increased significantly.

    It doesn’t look like that, so it’s quite cute when it cries out loud.

    When I lightly kiss his forehead, he smiles and snuggles into my arms.

    “Wow, it’s sweet.”

    We hug each other and enjoy the small, warm warmth… .

    Growling… .

    Both of their stomachs cried at the same time.

    “What should I eat?”

    “Woong… . That’s right. I don’t have any strength in my body… . Still, I’ll prepare it for you!”

    “Today too? It would be difficult to do it alone.”

    “No. I plan on doing everything before I go back. … It was nice to receive the other things, though.”

    “Kuhm… .”

    “Anyway!”

    Sylvie stood up first and led me.

    “First we have to wash.”

    “It’s not like a human.”

    Even though I filled my stomach, I had to wash first like a human being.

    *

    After washing it thoroughly, the room felt much dirtier than before.

    I realized once again that I had been living like an uncontrolled animal for several days.

    First, I opened the window to ventilate the room.

    A cold, refreshing wind rushed in as if driving away the stale air.

    The dark night sea was pitch black.

    Only the sound of waves was heard intermittently.

    “Silbi, I can clean while you cook.”

    It’s a temporarily rented mansion, so I can’t leave it in a mess.

    Of course, when I rented it, the owner said I could get it as dirty as I wanted, but that also has its limits.

    “Woong? No, I’ll do the cleaning too.”

    “When are you going to do all the cooking and cleaning?”

    “Is it because you want to stay with me longer?”

    “Because it’s a honeymoon, well… That’s not wrong either… .”

    Because it’s better to spend time together if possible… .

    “Ugh-!”

    Sylvie suddenly ran up to me and hugged me.

    “Lovely!”

    “Should it be just you?”

    “Hee hee. If that’s the case, that’s fine.”

    Sylvie readily agreed.

    So, I took charge of cleaning and Sylvie took charge of cooking.

    There was very little for me to do.

    That’s right, in the first place, I just spent a few days in bed.

    When it comes to cleaning, the only thing I can do is tidy up the bed and the surrounding area.

    The blankets and pillows contaminated with sweat and saliva were left in the bathroom, the bed was wiped, and new ones were taken out and laid on them.

    Then, as I was sweeping the floor, Sylvie and Odo, wearing an apron, came up to me.

    “Ian.”

    “Huh?”

    Sylvie, who unexpectedly kissed me, hugged my waist.

    “We look like a real married couple. I’m happy.”

    Sylvie and I have been strangely awkward.

    Although we lived together and talked a lot and became close friends, there were moments when it became awkward for some reason.

    To be more precise, Sylvie hesitated or hesitated in front of me.

    But now Sylvie doesn’t give me as much trouble as before.

    I’m glad that the pain in my heart seems to have been washed away.

    “They are a real couple.”

    “Still. I feel like we’re really a couple now.”

    “… But didn’t you leave the fire in the kitchen?”

    “Ah!”

    Sylvie jumped up and hurried to the kitchen.

    “It didn’t burn-!”

    Sylvie shouted from the kitchen.

    Wow, I never thought a person could become so rounded overnight.

    ‘It’s cute.’

    *

    4th day of honeymoon.

    Excluding the first day, it’s surprising that this is my second time eating there.

    It wasn’t as grand as the first meal.

    Since we both starved for three days, it was important to fill our stomachs first.

    “Want me to feed you today too!”

    “Hmm… . Let’s do it next time. I’m hungry now.”

    “Then there is nothing we can do.”

    Fortunately, my hands were free during the second meal.

    I wasn’t the only one who was hungry.

    Sylvie finished her food just as quickly as I did.

    Still, I tried my best to savor the taste as much as I could because of my sincerity in trying for today.

    ‘It’s delicious to eat again.’

    The menu composition was a little different from yesterday, but not significantly different.

    Anyway, even though it was prepared in a hurry, it was cooked and seasoned just right.

    “Is it delicious?”

    “Hmm. To the point where I feel like it was worth the effort of several months.”

    “Hee hee. When I get back, I will also prepare a meal for Ian.”

    Most of the meals are eaten together, and the chef in the castle usually handles the cooking.

    However, sometimes one of my wives prepares my meal.

    There were still a few wives left who had not yet joined the ranks, and one of them was Sylvie.

    ‘When I go back, only Scarlett and Lucia will be left.’

    Since those two claim, ‘It’s okay because there are experts who are guaranteed to have much better cooking skills than they do,’ they will probably remain like that for the rest of their lives.

    I don’t care because it’s fine if I do something, and if I don’t, it’s okay.

    “… What are you thinking?”

    Sylvie suddenly tilted her head.

    “You were thinking about another woman, right?”

    “… Isn’t it?”

    I shrugged my shoulders slyly and ate the meat with my fork.

    I couldn’t put it in my mouth.

    Sylvie’s lips stole mine first.

    “When you’re with me, only look at me. Don’t think about other women.”

    She grabs my chin and looks down and asks.

    “Okay?”

    “… I didn’t, but okay.”

    If you are honest, you never know what will happen.

    As a result of surviving with several wives over the past few months, telling the truth was not the only answer.

    ‘Well, I didn’t think much about it… .’

    Anyway, at times like this.

    -side.

    The most effective way is to slyly use skinship.

    I also learned this while surviving with several wives.

    “What, what… . Suddenly.”

    “What do you think? It’s mine.”

    -side.

    “Uuuh… . I don’t know.”

    Soon, Sylvie’s face grew hot and she smiled.

    This method is definitely the best.

    The situation moves smoothly, and you can see cute reactions.

    ‘… Meanwhile, the number of sarcastic comments has increased.’

    The change in me is surprising, but it’s not a bad thing.

    After eating, we walked around the mansion.

    Although I stayed only in the bedroom for three days, this place was very spacious and had many rooms.

    Starting from the attic on the top floor, a conference room, a guest room, and a material warehouse.

    A music room with musical instruments, an art room with easels and paints, a guest room, etc.

    There were other bedrooms besides the one we slept in.

    Sylvie stayed in a bedroom for quite some time.

    “… Should I sleep here today?”

    “Um.”

    The bed here was larger than the bed in the previous bedroom.

    “Good.”

    We looked around the mansion, and the two of us rolled around and talked in the room.

    Sometimes I looked out the window at the sea, sky, clouds, stars, etc. in silence.

    We went outside and walked side by side on the still deserted beach.

    When I felt like my body’s energy had recovered a bit, I started exercising as often as possible.

    The week of honeymoon passed quickly, and it was time to return.

    “Ian. Let’s take one last look at the sea.”

    Sylvie held out her hand.

    “Yes. If not this time, when will I come to see the winter sea again?”

    I walked along the beach in silence.

    one week.

    I made memories by this sea.

    The past was also solved.

    ‘I don’t love you anymore.’

    That’s how the old Sylvie responded to the feelings I expressed for the first time.

    I was shocked.

    I didn’t show it, but I had a hard time sleeping at the time.

    As time passed, I just endured it and forgot about it after I was kicked out.

    I forced it out of my memory.

    After that, when I occasionally met Sylvie, I thought she was too cold and emotionless.

    Now I think I know why.

    It’s because I don’t want to recall that memory.

    But not now.

    It really has become a thing of the past.

    The small warmth held in my hand is different from the past.

    Last night.

    We brought out the memories of that time and healed them.

    I hugged and hugged him.

    That was it.

    “… Actual expenses?”

    Sylvie suddenly stopped walking.

    She stared at a place in the approaching sea.

    “What’s there?”

    It looks like something small has washed up in the sea.

    … Looks like trash? Is it illness?

    Sylvie didn’t answer.

    My slightly parted lips were blank.

    I just held my hand and walked toward the bottle.

    ‘It looks like a disease I’ve seen before… .’

    Sylvie picked up the bottle with trembling hands.

    Wine bottle.

    I don’t even know what kind of wine it is because the label fell off in the sea water.

    Because it had been wandering around the sea for so long, it had barnacles and seaweed on its surface.

    Sylvie swept away the barnacles and then carefully removed the cork.

    Thanks to the tight closure, the inside is completely sealed.

    When I turned the bottle over, dried paper came out of it.

    ‘… no way.’

    Sylvie’s hands were shaking.

    Tears flowed from my eyes as I read the letter.

    “Ian… . this… .”

    After reading it, hand it to me.

    It is a very old paper.

    I unfolded what I had dried.

    The crooked writing catches my eye.

    [To Ian.]

    “… … .”

    [hi. I am your Sylvie. I am writing a letter from the person next to you who is sarcastically calling it an event to throw away trash on the beach.]

    [I’m not sure if this letter will reach you. Probably not. Will you see the letter sent to the sea? That’s the purpose of this event. Putting the words that couldn’t be conveyed in a bottle and sending them out into the sea.]

    [Although now it is being released into the sea. I will definitely tell you this someday. My dream will definitely come true.]

    [To fulfill your dream of killing the devil. I said that was my dream, but there’s actually one more thing. I can’t tell you yet, though. I know. I will break your curse and marry you. I will have children and live happily ever after. Understand? You must marry me! Because I will make you happy!]

    “Ian.”

    [Ian.]

    Ears and eyes.

    Voice and writing.

    On both sides, hearts touch.

    “I love you.”

    [love you.]

    “More than anyone else in this world. I love you so much, more than me.”

    [More than anyone else in this world. I love you so much, more than me.]

    “Your actual cost.”

    [Your real cost.]

    I sent the letter down.

    Sylvie looked up at me and cried with a big smile.

    Tears flowed like a river.

    I rolled up the old letter and put it in my arms.

    I lifted my hand and cupped her face and wiped away her tears.

    “I love you too, Sylvie.”

    Sylvie folded her hands over mine and smiled even warmer.

    “I love you more.”
