Chapter 269 – Acting That Is Not Acting
#269.
I wanted to solve the immediate problem like this, but Chorin intervened.
“Wait. But isn’t that a bit like that too? The reason why the duke told me not to meet Mr. Gaon was because he feared rumors would spread. Even if I gave permission right away, can I openly go on a date?”
“Uh… ! It is like that too.”
It was very difficult to achieve the conditions set by Hirencia. She appeals to the duke that she is flirting with Gaon, but she shouldn’t be rumored outwardly.
However, there is even a risk of being discovered that it was a lie simply going back and forth to the guild.
Hirencia said with a bright smile as if she thought she had a good idea.
“Then… You can wear a disguise!”
“Disguise?”
“Yes. Since it’s spring, wouldn’t it be okay to wear a wide-brimmed hat and dye your hair a bit?”
Hirencia stroked her shiny platinum hair. I was repulsed at the thought that her beautiful hair would be dyed with just dye.
However, if it was a magic dye, there was no particular problem because the color could be easily changed and reversed.
Gaon, who was listening to the conversation of the women in the middle as if watching halfway through, drew attention with applause when the story was roughly organized.
“Now, is this the end of the conversation? Let’s break up I will take you to Hirencia.”
“Yes, I do. I will go to study.”
“I have to train too, so stop!”
While saying that, Chorin and Hayeon left the house after leaving her greetings to Hirencia. Both of them were currently blocked by the 8-star wall, so they were quite desperate.
Gaon looked at Hirencia and raised her body.
“Let’s go now. I will take you there.”
“You don’t have to…”
In Hirencia’s refusal, she was also considerate that she didn’t want to bother her, but even more so was the fact that she couldn’t go around with her without even a disguise.
Gaon pulled out a hat that could properly cover his face from his subspace pocket and held it out.
“It’s okay. If you use this, you won’t get noticed.”
“Hmm… Then I will write it today and return it next time. Thank you.”
“It was nothing. Let’s go.
Hirencia seemed to think that she dragged her into something pointless, but Gaon wasn’t in trouble at all. Rather, she feels that the world is helping her.
‘Then what are we going to do? Shall I hold her hand? Shall we hug? Or a kiss?’
Anyway, I think the kiss went too far, but she can legally progress anyway, so it’s better to do it while you can.
Gaon thought of various options and left the guild with Hirencia.
Turning her head slightly, I looked to her side and saw Hirencia with her hat pressed down tightly, looking around her and looking at her.
She seems worried that she might get caught.
But no one will ever recognize her in her wide-brimmed hat and her unusually feminine one-piece dress.
Even if they were members of the same guild, it would be so, much less the possibility that people with no acquaintances would find out about it, it can be asserted that it is close to zero.
So, to reassure her, it was worth saying a word to her, but Gaon didn’t say anything.
Because it’s more fun that way.
‘It’s been a while since we’ve been walking down the street together like this.’
Such experiences were so few that I could count them on my fingers in my previous life. As much as Hirencia was busy, she herself was timid.
She was happy with the time she was with her, but at the same time, she was afraid that her identity would be discovered.
That’s why she never closed her distance more than this. At best, all she did was hold her hand right before she died.
While walking down a street full of people, Gaon suddenly looked down.
Hirencia’s small hand, casually swaying beside her, catches her eye. Even though all the blemishes on her body disappeared during her dislocation, only the calluses on his fingers remained intact.
It is proof that even after reaching her 9th star, she constantly trained and abused her body.
‘Beautiful.’
Of course, when viewed objectively, it can be said that other lovers’ hands are softer and more beautiful, but it was difficult to distinguish superiority and inferiority with Gaon.
I had no intention of comparing it in the first place, but her rough hands told me how much blood and sweat had been shed.
Knowing how hard and arduous it was, Gaon had no choice but to fall in love with her efforts.
Gaon, who took her step slowly and followed Hirencia right next to her, carefully grasped her hand.
“Oh!?”
Then, Hirencia was so surprised that her body trembled, and she looked up at him with her eyes wide open.
Gaon smiled softly and whispered.
“I have to do this so that in the eyes of the duke, I won’t look like a lover.”
“Is that so?”
“Actually, it’s not that difficult, is it? It’s just holding hands. Yes?”
“… That’s right. It’s just holding hands. Gaon-gyeong is doing this, but I will do my best.”
Her bright amber eyes twinkled with determination. It was so lovely that I wanted to kiss her right away, but she desperately held back. Still have to be patient
Gaon quickly turned her head to the front as he couldn’t bear to look into her eyes any longer.
“… Hurry up More and more people are coming.”
“Ah yes! It’s a big deal if you get caught.”
Gaon made her way through the crowd, killing her thumping heart. In the meantime, she didn’t say a single word.
Even now, when she opened her mouth, it felt like her pounding heart would squeeze out of her throat and jump out.
Compared to that, Hirencia was agitated only the moment he held her hand, but it seemed like nothing happened.
I was grumpy for no reason at that appearance, so I thought about kissing her seriously, but then I managed to control my reasoning and endured it repeatedly.
As I walked and fought with agony, the entrance to the imperial castle came into view in the distance.
Gaon stopped her and said, because Hirencia’s true identity could be revealed if she went closer.
“Let’s break up here.”
“Thank you for taking me. He listens to my requests and always seems to take care of me.”
“Does that bother you?”
“Of course. I am only getting help.”
The debt to Hirencia’s heart seemed quite large. Gaon whispered selflessly to lighten the burden.
“Then will you grant me a wish later?”
“A wish?”
“Yes. I won’t ask too much of you.”
Hirencia thought for a moment.
And she came to the idea that Gaon had given her so much that even worrying about it was a luxury, and she readily accepted her offer.
“All right. I will grant your wish later.”
“…”
She expected it, but the answer came much easier than she expected. She was worried that if she was like this, she would be strangely hooked up to the bad guy and caught her weakness. So, it would be better to take this opportunity to give your soul away.
Gaon made a self-reasoning that did not work, and eventually brought out the desire that filled his heart.
“Then I will write a wish now. Stay still.”
“Yes? That, that’s what Moose is— huh!?”
She immediately tugged at her slender waist, clamped the back of her neck, and kissed her. I subconsciously tried to avoid it, but Gaon’s hand was faster.
Above all, it was impossible to avoid it because it happened while he hesitated for a moment because he had the cause of a wish.
Gaon stared into his wide amber eyes and licked his moist lips with his tongue.
Hirencia trembled and was taken aback by the act she had experienced for the first time in her life. She stretched out her hand to push away, then paused again, showing her kindness.
Gaon licked her lips over and over again as if she were fooling around. In the end, Hirencia’s lips parted due to her persistence and continued courtship. She took the gap and she went straight into it as her tongue slid.
“Huh… !”
At that moment, Hirencia was startled by her own nasal voice and pushed her chest with her hands.
The power contained within her was still not that great, but Gaon could not ignore her resistance and she withdrew.
Her lips drop and side! She shouted.
Hirencia backed away from her as if her face was about to explode. She could not easily comprehend the sudden situation.
She softly touched her lips glistening with her saliva, then opened her mouth.
“J-J, what are you doing now…”
“Herencia. You are so defenseless What if you accept any offer like that, knowing what rumors are about me?”
“That’s because I believed in Gaon-kyung…”
“Don’t believe too much. Rather than that, I decided to speak more comfortably, but from earlier on, he kept saying that it was Gaon-gyeong.”
“Yes—?”
When she suddenly changed her topic, Hirencia put on a puzzled expression.
She is right that she is wrong, but she wonders if it is that important compared to her kiss, and on the other hand, since she keeps biting on her and has no plan what to do, she feels worried that she should just move on.
Gaon looked at her, who was confused by her series of shocking situations, then reached out her hand, straightened her slightly disheveled hat, and greeted her.
“Then I will go. See you later.”
“Ah, that, that…”
“If you need a date, please contact me in advance.”
Hirencia, stuttering as if her thoughts were not well organized, cut off her words, turned behind her, and accelerated her steps toward her guild.
In fact, she had no plans to do this at all. He tried to be content with just holding her hand, but her own desire for her was greater than her thoughts.
When she came to her senses, she was already kissing her.
‘I skipped it for now, but what should I do?’
Seeing that he didn’t get angry even though he had taken her first kiss for nothing, even though he had shaken her situation, it was clear that even Hirencia had a good crush on her.
I just hope that this doesn’t cause us to fall apart. If Jung doesn’t contact me, I’ll have to make a date appointment using the duke as a justification.
Gaon gently rubbed his shiny lips with saliva and then put it in his mouth! Sucked
His fingers tasted very sweet.
***
A week has passed since that day.
Jaehee came to visit us today. It was to help Chorin’s magic research being blocked.
‘Even though it’s just an excuse.’
It’s true that I felt a wall in magic research, but in fact, it’s something I often experience. She always moved forward through her quests on her own, but the reason she dared to call Jae-hee was because she had other ulterior motives.
Gaon had already heard from her asking for her cooperation. I don’t even know the detailed plan, but it probably won’t be different from the last time.
To be honest, she thought about whether it was right to be swayed by Chorin, but since she told her to believe in herself, she decided to follow her for the time being.
It didn’t seem like things would work out just because he told the truth now.
Jae-hee will feel guilty about Cho-rin, but at the same time, she will have dissatisfaction with being cheated on so far, which will cause a big rift someday.
Chorin knows that, so she must be planning something.
While Gaon was thinking about this and that, he overheard the conversation between Chorin and Hayeon.
“How are you Jaehee? It is delicious?”
“Sure. It’s also Chorin. I can’t cook at all…”
Jaehee muttered in a slightly envious tone as she looked around at a table full of Chorin.
Korean food exists in Union, but it is not very common, so it seems that there is a strong nostalgia for hometown food that has been enjoyed for a long time.
Chorin said indifferently.
“Then do you want to learn? I’m fine.”
“Really? I really don’t know anything. Will it be very frustrating?”
“Well, how are you? Where do you say there are people who are good at it from the start?”
“Then thank you, but when will it be okay?”
“Hmm… Anyway, just learn from today. Since we decided to go to bed anyway, how about we do it together in the evening?”
“Just today? It’s a bit sudden. But if it’s Chorin-san, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
The two talked about food for a while after that. Looking at that alone, there was no such thing as a really good pair.
However, behind the scenes lies a rather twisted relationship. I don’t know if the relationship will be maintained even after all the truth is revealed.
Gaon shook his head and resumed eating, thinking that it was useless to think about it for now.
Then she remembered Hirencia.
‘But I haven’t been contacted.’
She hadn’t heard her voice for a week or so. She asked her a few days ago, and she says that she has been in touch with Ha-yeon several times, but there is no sign of him contacting her to see if the kiss was a problem.
She waited a little longer, and if there is no news after a week, she intends to go first.
Gaon picked up her bulgogi and put it in her mouth, waiting for the events of the night to come.
