Chapter 206 – Jealousy

The somewhat light atmosphere suddenly grew heavy with Deborah’s intervention. I didn’t know what to do.

‘What should I do?’ If I tried to intervene now, I’d just get yelled at. But if I left it alone, there were too many eyes watching, and I worried about what rumors might spread. Just as I fell into thought, an unexpected savior appeared.

“Alisa! Deborah! Both of you, calm down!” Yuni, who had been quietly listening to their conversation from behind, hastily stepped between them.

For a moment, Alisa glared at Yuni as if annoyed, but unable to treat her coldly, she turned her head back. Of course, this also included the subconscious belief that Yuni would take her side.

However, to my surprise, Yuni sided with Deborah.

“Deborah. I know you’re angry. You must feel very wronged. It might even feel like your boyfriend was taken from you. But please try to understand. Alisa had no other choice, right?” “…Alright.”

“And Alisa, I know you’ve been through a lot. But that doesn’t mean you should treat Deborah like that. Think about it the other way around, how angry would you be?”

Not knowing that I and Eunrang were the same person, Yuni interpreted Alisa’s reaction as merely stress, pushed to its limits, finally bursting forth. From her perspective, Alisa was taking her anger out on an innocent person.

At Yuni’s words, Alisa showed her betrayal. “W-what? How could you say such a thing…?”

“I’m saying this because we’re friends. During the festival, I left you alone because I was afraid of the repercussions, but I won’t do that anymore.”

Yuni seemed to think that Alisa being pushed into this situation was partly her fault. Seeing Yuni’s determined expression, Alisa’s expression shifted from betrayal to emotion.

“Yuni…”

“More importantly, Alisa and Ruan are truly nothing to each other, right? So it shouldn’t matter what Deborah does with him, right? Or… is there something going on between you two?” Yuni looked back and forth between me and Alisa.

Alisa, who had been moved, instantly stiffened her face and became tense at Yuni’s gaze. “N-no? We’re nothing to each other?”

“Then it’s fine for Deborah and him to go to a room together?” “That’s not allowed.” Alisa flatly denied it.

Yuni, perhaps not expecting such a reaction, widened her eyes before suddenly breaking into a playful smile. “Why? Why isn’t it allowed?”

“Th-there’s a bit of a situation.” “Heh… A situation? What kind of situation?” “W-well…”

Alisa was visibly flustered by Yuni’s sudden and aggressive barrage of questions. Yuni whispered as if she knew something. “Alisa. Do you by any chance like Ruan?”

No, now that I think about it, it wasn’t a whisper at all, but a megaphone disguised as one. Her voice, though not reaching the entire wedding hall, clearly reached my ears and those of my companions.

Alisa, who had been momentarily stunned, screamed fiercely. “N-no, I don’t!!” Her high-pitched shout echoed throughout the entire wedding hall.

The eyes of the servants, who had been diligently cleaning up, simultaneously focused on her. But Alisa, seemingly oblivious to such things, jumped around, continuously trying to prove her innocence.

“Why would I like a guy like that? Absolutely not! He’s completely an eyesore!”

“Then there’s no problem with Deborah and him going to a room together. So why are you acting like this?”

“Th-that’s because I’m worried they’ll do something vulgar in the room! How troublesome would it be for people to clean up something like that!”

Before being possessed, I remember reading an article about teenagers using comic book cafes like motels. Didn’t it say that part-timers, who would go in casually, would often feel hit by reality when they saw traces of sexual activity? Alisa’s words did make sense. The only problem was that *she* was the one saying them.

I found myself muttering unconsciously. “Since when did you start thinking about the servants…”

“Shut up! You be quiet!” “…Why are you only like this to me?” “I told you to shut up!”

As if hit where it hurt, Alisa reacted sensitively to even minor comments. She looked around at our companions, who were now looking at her with eyes that seemed to say, *‘Oh, she’s jealous, isn’t she?’*, then turned away irritably.

“Fine! Go or don’t go. There’s a waiting room over there.”

“…Okay. Thank you.” “If you’re grateful, be back in 30 minutes! Otherwise, I’ll storm right in.” “Alright. Then, excuse us. Let’s go, Deborah.”

Worried that Alisa might change her mind like a reed in the wind, I hastily led Deborah to the waiting room.

Heading towards the waiting room, I asked. “Deborah. Why did you do that?”

“Huh? Do what?” “Why did you say that to Alisa? You don’t usually say things like that.”

Deborah outwardly played the role of a good-natured mage, but her true personality was that of a timid and shy girl. She was absolutely not the type to provoke Alisa in such a way. I was curious about the true reason behind her sudden impulsive action.

“Oh, that? It’s a bit complicated.” “Complicated?” “Yes. Like Yuni said, I was angry that Ruan felt taken from me, and annoyed that she was making strange accusations without knowing anything, but also anxious because it was actually true… And…”

“And?” Just then, we arrived in front of the waiting room. Standing before the door, she turned her back to face me and clasped my hands.

“Because I felt like I wasn’t being honest.” “Not being honest?” “Yes. About being tied to the past when I don’t care about it at all anymore. Honestly, I hoped Ruan would say he liked me.”

Deborah smiled broadly, then led me straight into the waiting room.

The waiting room was quite spacious. A large dressing table stood in the center, and a bed for resting was placed in the corner. We sat side by side on the bed.

“Are you okay with that? Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage if Alisa became honest?”

“A disadvantage? No. It’s not a disadvantage. I get jealous, but… it’s necessary to hold onto Ruan, isn’t it?” “Hold onto? From what?”

The answer to my question was outside. Deborah silently pointed to the sky outside the window. It was still only afternoon, and the sky was just blue with nothing in it, but I realized she was pointing to the world beyond the heavens.

“Do you remember what I said earlier? That I’d research dimension magic so Ruan could travel between both worlds?” “That? Of course I remember. Why?”

Deborah lowered her hand weakly. She gazed at me with trembling eyes, voicing her concern. “Is it really possible?”

“What?” “Can dimension magic truly be perfected? That’s the realm of the gods. What if my undue ambition incurs their wrath? What if they don’t grant my wish to go with you?”

“Deborah…” “I’m so afraid of that. I don’t think I can live without Ruan now… I’m so scared I’ll never see you again.” Deborah’s body trembled.

Even though it was just imagination, she trembled with fear as if she were truly in that situation. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders. “It’s okay. That will never happen. I won’t abandon you and leave alone.”

“Yes. I believe you. Ruan would never abandon me.”

Fortunately, my comfort seemed to work, and Deborah quickly regained her composure. She raised her head. “…But I’m a coward, so that alone isn’t enough.”

“Huh?” “I’m not enough on my own. So I’m going to make you have lots of precious people, Ruan. So you can never leave. So this world becomes better than your hometown. That’s why I said those things to Alisa. So she can honestly say she loves Ruan. And so Ruan will come to love Alisa too.”

“You…” “For that, anything is fine with me. Even if Ruan brings a hundred women.”

“……” Deborah’s words felt genuine. Her entire being seemed to radiate a resolve to do anything to hold onto me. In front of her, I couldn’t say anything.

Neither a comforting “Are you okay?”, nor an acknowledging “I understand,” nor a rejecting “No,” could I say, unsure of what would hurt or reassure her. Silence was the only thing I could do.

After much deliberation, I decided to show her with action rather than a hundred words. Smoothly—

I reached out and caressed her cheek. “Ruan…” Deborah whispered softly, then closed her eyes as if pleased.

I slowly pressed my lips against hers.

“Haaah…” A wet moan tickled my ears, and sweet breaths mingled, stimulating my sense of smell. Diligently licking her moist lips, I penetrated between her firm teeth with my tongue, fiercely entangling her welcoming tongue.

Saliva mixed, and our entire bodies grew hot. I stroked Deborah’s slender waist, then carefully began to remove her academy uniform.

The one-piece uniform was quite easy to remove. After unzipping the back, I supported her waist, lifted slightly, and pulled it straight down, revealing her naked body.

Deborah, clad only in innocent white underwear, was beautiful and also alluring.

I gently stroked her thighs, then moved up to her soft abdomen and caressed her ample breasts over her bra.

A soft sensation filled my hand. But perhaps because it wasn’t bare skin, the impact wasn’t as profound as I expected.

I immediately reached my hand behind her and unhooked it. Pop! The cups, which had been firmly holding their shape, slightly sprang up due to the elasticity of her breasts.

As I gently lowered them, her snow-white, glutinous rice cake-like breasts and their light pink nipples were exposed.

I playfully tickled her nipples. “Mmmh…!” Deborah instinctively arched her back.

Finding it amusing, I repeated it a few times until Deborah scolded me. Slap!

“Oh!” When I pulled my lips away in surprise, Deborah, whose face was flushed with excitement, put on a stern expression and said, “Why do you keep playing around?”

“I just thought your reaction was cute…”

“Ruan. You seem to have forgotten, we’re not just having sex here, are we? We don’t have much time.” Deborah tapped her wrist.

I quickly estimated the time and confirmed that less than 15 minutes remained until the deadline. “You’re right? I should hurry.” “Yes. It seems you’re ready now, so let’s get started.”

Deborah raised her knees and spread her legs. Just as she said, the plump mound between her thighs was so wet that it was evident even through her panties. When I lightly touched it, the panties pressed down, and the seeping love fluid oozed out.

“Already wet, are we?” “……” When I whispered mischievously, Deborah, seemingly embarrassed, turned her head away.

I chuckled, then, like her, stripped off my clothes, becoming naked. My already fully erect large dick throbbed, dripping pre-cum.

I brought my penis towards her vulva. “Deborah, tell me if it hurts.” “…Yes. Come inside now.” Deborah spread her arms wide, extending them towards me.

I then inserted my penis all the way to the base, as if embracing her. Squish! “Haaah…!” “Ugh!” We finally became truly one.
