episode_0211
by fnovelpiaThe morning dawned in the forest.
Unlike some Frozen princesses, elves don’t sleep much.
I wake up before dawn, agreeing with the claims of inventors and emperors that only four hours of sleep a day is enough.
Arpia was similar. She liked to wake up early and breathe in the fresh air that is characteristic of dawn.
But for some reason, today Arphia didn’t wake up until Karami woke her up. Karami, who had spent time with her, also found it strange.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Miss Arphia sleeping late. Is this also a side effect of the medicine?”
“No. It’s just today. I went to bed a little late yesterday… .”
“Didn’t you sleep with me? What did you do after I slept with you?”
“… … .”
Arpia with her mouth tightly shut.
A blush appeared on my cheeks as I recalled last night.
“You’re hiding the drugs for me again?”
“Oh, no! I gave them all to you without missing a single one. I just felt a little bit off… That’s why I slept late!”
“If that’s the case, then that’s possible. But why are you yelling like that? If someone saw you, they’d think you did something you shouldn’t have done.”
“That’s because you doubt me. I don’t know. I’m going to take a shower.”
Arphia ran towards the sound of running water.
Then he looked back.
“Aren’t you going?”
“People call me a slave messenger, but I am proud to call myself a gentleman. I know how to keep that level of manners.”
If it were an illustration of a female character’s bathing service, I would shout ‘Iguoguoden~’ and accept it with open arms, but I think the concept would be different if it became reality and was in a game.
As a master, I feel like taking care of my pretty slave.
But Karami’s consideration was of no use to Arphia at this point.
Arphia grabbed Karami’s arm.
Without even thinking about hiding his playful smile.
“Let’s go. How blessed I am to have you as my master. I will make sure you never think of leaving me.”
***
The seaweed cold of the fairy elf of the mysterious forest.
An elf bathing scene that is already hard to find. An unknown phenomenon that can only be seen in novels. A fantasy within a fantasy.
Such a fantasy is happening before my eyes.
“Master~ The water here is really cool.”
Arphia swims in the lake.
A naked body without a single fallen leaf covering it.
The only obstacle is the curtain of water, but the lake is so clear that nothing can obscure it. White skin is reflected in the water as if flowing.
I didn’t look at her openly, but I didn’t try to avoid her gaze either. She’s my slave, and to a slave, I can do whatever I want, and even if the person in question says he’ll show me, what’s the big deal?
To my surprise, my state was strangely calm. It was a sight I had clearly never seen before, but it seemed familiar.
It’s not that I’m gay, or that I have a paraphilia like a pervert gay, or that I’m a eunuch.
‘It must be because of the synchronization of souls.’
I don’t care if I see people die.
There wasn’t much difference between an elf’s naked body and that.
It means that you are excited, but not to the point of overpowering it.
“You’re not coming in?”
“Okay. I like warm water.”
“Really? That’s too bad.”
Arphia turned around and swam leisurely. Then, a mark carved into its smooth back, like a sheet of paper, became visible.
It’s closer to a pretty tattoo than an ugly mark, but even as a tattoo, the image isn’t all that great.
It’s something you see every time you bathe, even if it’s not the mark of a slave, but something you need to control the spirits.
“Miss Arphia. Let’s find out how to hide the brand on her back.”
“I absolutely hate it.”
Immediate answer.
He was so firm that I couldn’t even think of persuading him.
“Okay, if Ms. Arphia is okay with it, then it’s okay.”
“And, I hate that name.”
“What are you talking about?”
“’Miss Arphia.’ I feel so distant. Just call me by my name.”
It wasn’t difficult.
“Arphia. Will this work?”
“Much better.”
I’m glad that Arphia seems satisfied.
Because the expression before was so creepy.
“Then I guess I should change my title too. I thought it was too stiff. Hmm, Master isn’t my style, and I don’t like calling people by their names, and I hate nicknames even more because they seem like I’m copying them.”
A serious expression.
Arphia muttering to herself and worrying.
After a while, a good idea occurred to him and he smiled like a little kid.
“Honey?”
“… ?”
“Honey, what do you think? I think I’m really good?”
“Well, I like it because it feels friendly.”
Honey or honey.
Do whatever you want.
“Right? Since we’re going to make a thousand-year covenant anyway, I think it’d be better to adapt in advance.”
Oh, that’s a bit much.
What is the thousand year oath?
Elves look at only one person for nearly a thousand years. It is a traditional ritual that elves in love make when they become a pair.
If you betray, a terrible curse will be placed on your soul.
I never thought that Arphia would ask me for something.
Do you usually do that to your master?
“Isn’t that too hasty?”
“Not at all. You know that, right? We live in different timelines. You’ll grow old and die earlier than me. Of course, I have no intention of escaping reality.”
“Um… .”
“That’s why every minute and every second we spend together is precious to me. I can’t waste a single bit of it. But why are you looking like that? Weren’t you planning on doing it?”
“Haha, how could that be? Making a pact with Arphia? It’s an honor.”
To be honest, I don’t want to do it.
Binding souls may be romantic. I would do it if I could, but I still feel uneasy.
Even if I return to Earth, the curse might still be activated, right?
You should avoid making promises.
***
Daily life with Karami.
Wash, eat, and sleep together.
Sometimes I take a walk in the forest and explore the city.
It was an ordinary, ordinary day, nothing special, but it was precious to Arpia. She had no doubt that her long patience was to be rewarded for this moment.
‘I didn’t know I could feel this good without taking medicine.’
What a truly novel idea.
If Karami heard it, he would find it ridiculous, but it was the best impression that Arpia could give.
When you inhale the pollen of Rachnia, you will experience an indescribable pleasure, but when the effect wears off, you will be overcome by a great sense of helplessness and depression.
That backlash isn’t something that can be easily shaken off. It’s because he’s an Arpia, so he’s holding on. If he were an ordinary person, he’d often not be able to endure it and make extreme choices.
But with Karami, you can constantly feel happiness similar to or greater than that. You don’t have to harm yourself or use drugs.
That was the reason why the smile on Arphia’s lips never faded.
I want to be like this for the rest of my life.
Arphia’s earnest wish.
But the wind stops blowing someday.
Arphia felt it vaguely.
This is a personal and damaging greed for him.
It was a night when a full moon hung over the forest.
Moonlight settled on the water, creating silvery waves. The water flowed gently, carving out the moon, and gentle ripples spread across the lake.
Arpia and Karami were chatting away while soaking their feet in the water. Most of the topics were brought up by Arpia.
Most of what Karami talked about was related to slaves. Arphia didn’t want to hear about his affairs with other slaves.
There were certainly happy times, but it was 2% lacking. Even while with Arpia, Karami would look up at the sky with an anxious expression whenever he had the chance.
There, red clouds were taking over the sky.
“Do you want to go?”
“Where are you?”
“Where you are looking now.”
“It’s a place you have to go rather than a place you want to go.”
“… … .”
It was annoying that Karami was distracted by something else during the Arpia date, but there was nothing he could do about it. The one who made things difficult for him was Arpia herself.
He was the one who had brought him up to this point, but he threatened him with the power he had given him. How dare a slave threaten his master.
The master was tolerating the slave’s tantrums.
“Why do I have to go?”
“There is a slave struggling in a world soaked in blood. She is covered in blood and no one can hear her voice. You must free her from that hellish place.”
I have no intention of considering the circumstances of other slaves. It doesn’t matter to Arphia whether they are saved or not liberated.
But if Karami feels guilty because of his stubbornness, that’s a different story. Harming the master was a disqualification from being a slave.
“Okay. Since you want to go, I’ll send you. Of course, I’ll go with you.”
“Is it real?”
“Instead, a condition. Just one.”
Just as he was about to ask what the conditions were, Arphia suddenly grabbed Karami.
with a plop!
Karami fell into the lake.
“Kuhek!”
There was no way he could swim when he couldn’t even do basic running properly. He struggled with his arms and legs to keep himself from sinking.
“It’s not that deep?”
Arphia followed right in and lifted Karami up. He had already been doused with water up to his head, so he looked exactly like a drowned rat.
Karami swept back her wet hair.
It was a look of discontent.
“What are you doing?”
“Isn’t it so cool?”
Arpia smiled brightly without any concern. I couldn’t bring myself to find fault with her innocent smile. Karami reluctantly answered.
“It’s cool.”
“Right?”
Only then did Arphia calm down and show a satisfied expression. Her expression became quite serious, so Karami waited silently.
Arphia took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.
“It’s a bit new, but I’ve become certain while being with you. That I can’t live without you.”
The flowers that had withered while being with Karami sprouted leaves again, nourished by his love.
It became a beautiful flower that could attract any butterfly.
but.
“I’m sorry to say this to you, but… Me? I think it’s already so wrong that it can’t be helped.”
Arphia grabbed Karami’s hands.
I touched something that should not have been touched.
I got caught up in something I shouldn’t have been paying attention to.
He said that the reason he was saved was because of the pain. He said that thanks to the pain, he was able to be with him.
Arphia had no doubts.
Only pain makes me feel connected to him.
You have to suffer to feel alive.
Arpia grabbed Karami’s two hands and put them around his neck.
“This hand. With this hand that saved me that day, won’t you destroy me?”
then.
If he were to carve out the pain himself.
I can be with him for the rest of my life.
You can be saved for life.
Arphia, who suffered forever.
I want to suffer forever.
“Are you serious?”
A cold voice.
A look of displeasure.
Arphia quietly closed her eyes.
“I’m sorry for asking you this. I’m sorry for showing you this side of me. You must despise me.”
I know.
That he had lost his mind.
I think I messed up my head because I touched drugs.
No, definitely.
“But what can I do? It’s already become like this. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. Instead, you can never leave this forest. I mean it too.”
Low-level threats.
A kind man would never do that.
Even if it is a slave’s request.
But he does not leave the poor slave alone.
This action will save two slaves.
Arphia knows that she can’t refuse.
“You don’t have to feel guilty. I’m your slave before I’m a person. I’m no different from an object. Isn’t it common sense for a master to treat his slave as he pleases?”
With these hands, he must have freed countless slaves.
It’s the first time he’s gotten his hands dirty.
A frightening silence flows.
Karami’s cold bass resonates.
“I am so disappointed, Arphia. You are the most hopeless slave I have ever seen.”
“I’m sorry.”
Arphia closed her eyes and waited with a gentle smile. She felt warmth wrapped around her neck.
My heart is pounding so hard I feel like it’s going to burst.
A creepy feeling runs through my skin.
But I didn’t feel the pressure I was expecting.
The hand rose higher and covered the ball.
Arphia opens her eyes in wonder.
Karami’s face comes closer.
“Uh, yeah?”
Isn’t this exactly that flow?
suddenly?
No, it’s not that I don’t like it?
Arphia tightly closed her eyes.
A heart that beats with a girl’s heart, not with base desires.
The moment I was waiting for the sensation I would feel on my lips.
“Wow?!”
Arphia screamed again.
What Arphia felt was not the sweet sensation of a first kiss, but a sharp pain in her ears and a tingling pleasure.
Karami bit his ear.
“Hey, wait! Where are you biting?”
“How dare you threaten your master. This is the punishment given to a rebellious slave. Just deal with it.”
The ears of the world’s most sensitive elves.
Karami sometimes pulls on both of Arpia’s ears, and sometimes sticks his fingers into her ear holes.
“Ah, no! It’s sensitive there, so if you touch it like that…! Huh?!”
Arphia lets out an uncivilized moan that you wouldn’t expect a forest fairy to make, and writhes in a sensation that is neither painful nor pleasurable.
His pupils were going up and his face was twitching. He was making an expression that he shouldn’t show to others.
No, it’s not a sneer. It’s a sneer.
An elf can’t move if you grab its ears.
Arphia had to endure the harassment without being able to put up any resistance.
however.
‘This, this might also feel good in its own way?’
Arphia opened her eyes to the new walls.
