“Kishyaaaaah!”
The scorpion lunged and swung his pincers.
Gaon avoided it by lightly taking a step to the side, and then swung the spear and scraped off the four legs as if passing by.
The aura that was thinly coated on the blade of the spear cut through its carapace brilliantly, and in the end, the creature lost half of its legs and could no longer move.
But the fight isn’t over yet.
As if seeking revenge, scorpions of rather small bodies burrow from both directions at the same time, aiming for their lives by stinging poisonous needles.
They dodged it just by tilting their head, then struck the spear pole from bottom to top and overturned the body of the guy on the right.
I don’t know if it was an adult, but those who were only half that size were enough to lift with his physical strength.
Having neutralized one side, Gaon burrowed right into the left side. Surprised by the sudden approach, the guy swings his pincer, but it only cuts through the air with a slight difference. In the meantime, Gaon’s spear, which reached within a short distance, easily pierced his somewhat fragile carapace and took his life.
Kujik!
Gaon, who grabbed the spear pole from the inside and rotated it to stir the inside, twisted it out and retrieved it, then immediately turned back and charged Chorin with the guy he was dealing with.
Chorin did an excellent job of restraining him using the entangle, but unfortunately he has not yet been able to use multiple magics at the same time.
Even if it could be used, it would have been difficult to pierce its carapace because the power concentrated in one point was not great due to the nature of magic bullets.
It was best for her to keep one of her tethered.
Gaon, who ran hard, put on the strength and weight of running, killing even the one Chorin was holding at once, and then killing all the rest.
The fight went quite smoothly, but Gaon’s expression was not good. After all, Chorin couldn’t kill a single one in this fight.
She is not to blame for her powerlessness, but because she cannot grow through the absorption of karma unless she is killed.
As a magician, the increase in physical ability is not meaningless. Even if you don’t run and fight directly with your own body, isn’t the subject that manages magic power ultimately your own body?
If the body is weak, the speed at which mana accumulates is slow, and even a little overdoing it during operation will cause enormous damage.
In order to prevent such an absurd situation, it was necessary to increase physical ability.
“Hmm… It’s troublesome.”
“Yes? What?”
“Isn’t Icho-Rin not growing at all?”
“Still, you caught quite a few fire lizards!”
“Yes. That’s fortunate, but…”
After all, Chorin can’t catch her scorpion because of her hard shell. In the case of the fire lizard, it was rather an object with strong magical ability, and its skin was not so hard that it was possible to inflict damage even with Chorin’s magic bullet.
So they caught quite a lot, but not being able to damage the scorpion was a serious problem.
‘It’s time to go back and reorganize…’
It’s already been a week since I entered the desert.
During that time, they wandered around the map, filling in new information and revising it, diligently searching for artifacts.
The originally planned period was a week, and now that Chorin seems to be quite tired, it seemed better to go back and take a break to re-energize as a whole and come back.
Gaon looked up at the sun in the sky and roughly estimated the time, then decided that he could return before the sun completely set, and opened his mouth.
“Lee Cho-rin. It’s been a week since I came here, how about going back soon?”
“Yes? Now?”
“Yes. You’ve been there for a week, so you’re pretty tired, right? Let’s go back and rest and come back. During that time, Mr. Icho Rin, please learn the magic that will pierce her scorpion’s carapace.”
“… All right. Then go back!”
Chorin’s firm determination made her nod with her young eyes. Just the look in her eyes conveyed her willingness to be useful to him.
She doesn’t want to fall into a pile of baggage, and wants to move forward while facing each other on an equal footing. Such will was the law to achieve strong growth.
Although Gaon did not know about her physical growth, mentally, he smiled with satisfaction at the thought that there was a clear harvest and went on the way back with Chorin.
***
“Whew…”
While looking at her magic book in her study, she let out a long sigh as she closed her book.
It was three days after her return from the Demon Realm, during which time she focused on learning new magic all day long.
There were no serious problems in the process. It was because her spell book had various spells, and among them, magic that could pierce a scorpion’s carapace was written.
The reason she was in such trouble now was because of something other than magic.
“Miss Gaon… What do you think of me?”
Yesterday, she mixed with Gaon once more. Based on her improved stamina, she gasped for hours and groans as she accepted his stuff.
It was good. The stimulation Gaon gave her was too much for her to handle. Her body reacted violently with screams of delight at the pleasure of her hair turning pure white.
The problem was that I wasn’t satisfied with that much anymore. She simply wanted to be loved not only physically, but also mentally.
As long as she can hear the words “I love you” From Gaon’s lips, she feels like she can do anything.
But because she couldn’t do that, she now had difficulties in learning magic. It was impossible to concentrate on the magic formula.
More than anything, the reason she feels this impatience is because the relationship between Gaon and Aris Kielune is getting closer.
‘Does Mr. Gaon like younger women?’
In terms of her frank appearance, Chorin couldn’t be said to be overwhelming. Ariski Elune is also a noblewoman, and it is because of her natural beauty and the grace that blooms in her secret.
Gaon, who responded bluntly at first because of his outgoing and charming personality, now seemed to be treating him a little favorably.
Little by little, the anxiety that she might be taken away at this rate sprouted from her heart.
What is Gaon doing now? Could she be on a date with Ariski Elune, who came to visit her while she was in her study? If so, what should I do?
Again her delusions unfolded.
Even though she wanted to turn away, several scenes were passing by in her head like a film.
The two of them go on a date laughing and chatting, then go to their room after a friendly meal, and then go…
“No!”
Chorin shouted the last scene where the two bodies overlapped and stood up from the seat.
And I met the eyes of the librarian who was just tidying up the bookshelf over there.
“Oh! Sin, sorry!”
The librarian was in her mid-thirties, a woman with a warm look. She stopped by her study every day for the past few days and often observed her reading her spellbook all day long.
And from her point of view, Chorin was in the middle of worrying about love.
Among the many books she read, there were also romance novels, and above all, her existence as an aunt was very interested in other people’s love affairs.
The librarian apologized and sat in her chair, covering her face with both of her hands, and approached Chorin, who was trembling in her shame.
She then pretended to tidy up her bookshelf and quietly asked a question.
“Is something wrong?”
It’s a trivial question, but Chorin was taken aback.
It’s a much more violent reaction than the librarian thought.
“Yes? Oh no! Just… I don’t understand magic very well.”
It’s an absurd excuse. Chorin herself knows what a weak lie this is, but she still doesn’t have enough personality to affirm it right away.
But the librarian did not back down.
“Is it so? Not when I saw it.”
“Yes… ?”
“Isn’t it because of the guy who shares the room?”
“Uh, how… !”
It seems that the agitation is big.
Even if she thought about it a little, she would be able to tell that she was talking about it, but Chorin had done the act of digging her own grave.
“Whoops… I am also a member of Viscount Kielun. More than anything else, I bet no one would notice that kind of reaction.”
“Uh, uh… Is it too obvious?”
“Sure. The man doesn’t seem to know. I guess I don’t notice.”
When she said that she didn’t notice, the small but present wariness on Chorin’s face softened a lot. She wondered if she could solve her own troubles, as she glanced at her and nodded her head.
“… It is.”
“Ugh! But what are you worried about? Maybe the night is not cool… ?”
“No! Mr Gaon! Mr Gaon… That’s it, so ugh… !”
This is also part of the entrapment investigation.
The librarian knew by this that they had already made all the progress physically. That means that there is a problem in the mental exchange.
She apologized to Chorin, who was embarrassed.
“Sorry. I was kidding. So what’s the problem? Tell me Anyway, I met a lot of men before I got married. I can give you some advice.”
“That, that…”
“Come on. Or is it okay for another woman to take it?”
At the librarian’s words, the memories from earlier played over and over again in Chorin’s head. It doesn’t even stop there, and eventually flows to the part where Gaon and Aris Kielune mix their bodies.
Chorin closed her eyes tightly and shook her head before she met her gaze with the librarian and carefully opened her mouth.
“Actually, I like Gaon, but I don’t know what Gaon is like. At first, I was happy just being in a relationship, but now I don’t know. Am I being too greedy?”
The librarian almost burst out laughing at her.
From her point of view, she didn’t even know why she was suffering from this because she was a lighter and cute worry than she thought.
But she was, so she seemed able to give me the right advice.
“I see what the problem is.”
“Really?”
“Yes. First of all, the biggest problem is that we are hanging on one-sidedly. Men are easy, women are not that greedy. Because he’s already in his hands. In fact, this is natural for human beings, regardless of the issue of women and men.”
Originally, people are greedy for what they don’t have. This is the obvious truth. It was a perfectly natural change of feelings for him to be neglectful of what he already had.
She asked if Chorin agreed with her, her eyes shining.
“Then what should I do?”
“Of course I have to push and pull! Push and pull! You know? Don’t easily allow your body or not, but sometimes make it hard on that side first.”
“But there are times when Mr. Gaon asks to do that first, right?”
“That’s not enough! Looking at it now, you don’t even know what Gaon thinks of Chorin. Then you should check it out first. If you do what you are told to do, you will just be dragged around. You can even get tired of it easily if your emotions are not ripe and only physical exchanges are going on!”
“That… !”
Is Gaon tired of his own body? I hadn’t considered this option yet. Even just yesterday, Gaon mixed her flesh with her hotness.
Looking at the reaction, I wouldn’t get tired of it easily, but if I did, how long would it last? Even after a year, even after two years, will you still not get tired of it and pour out your affection as hotly as yesterday?
No, I can never be so sure.
Right now, since Gaon enjoyed it enough from today, wouldn’t he be able to think of wanting to mix flesh with another woman?
‘That’s not allowed!’
It’s really a what-if, but if Ga-on turned away from her even though she seduced her first, she might be in a state of inability to recover.
And no one can conclude that her warmth will continue to support her.
Although Chorin sensed her sense of crisis, she did not immediately agree with the librarian’s words.
There are a number of couples she says broke up after pushing and pushing, but she and Gaon weren’t even in a romantic relationship.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave her study with Chorin saying that she would think about it carefully.
