Chapter 1037 – (Side Story)15. A Witch’s First Love (12)
At the edge of a cliff so high, Eunhyeon threw down her body while holding Illyana tightly.
Even as she falls downward at an alarming speed, she doesn’t stop thinking.
‘The depth is roughly about 30m.’
Through her senses, she navigated the depths of the lake she was about to fall into and any reefs or rocks that might be an obstacle.
As she was concerned about the presence of demonic beasts that might inhabit the lake, she had to thoroughly investigate the danger.
Fortunately, it was a deep lake with no rocks or obstacles that could harbor demons or pose a risk of collision.
Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes?
Should I say this is fortunate compared to the huge disaster that was chasing us from behind?
Eunhyeon and Illyana’s bodies fell into the lake.
The bodies of the two people, who were falling at an alarming speed added to their mass, are encroaching deep into the water.
“… !”
The water temperature that hits your entire body is cold enough to make your heart stop for a moment.
A cold chill that instantly takes away body heat and freezes the inside of the body.
Illyana couldn’t stand it and struggled.
So much so that I took in the breath I had been holding without even realizing it.
Illyana, who was in Eunhyeon’s arms, struggled violently.
As she breathed, sub-zero water entered her airway through her nose and mouth.
“… !”
Eunhyeon hugged Illyana, who was complaining of pain, with one of her arms and held her tightly.
If he stayed any longer in this lake full of cold, his body could even freeze.
The urgent priority was to swim quickly and get out of the lake.
‘First of all…’
The priority was to protect Illyana as much as possible before leaving the lake.
Eunhyeon took out a jewel from her pocket.
When I infuse mana into the blue gem in her hand, it begins to respond.
[Elysia Gem Amplification]
[September’s birthstone, Sapphire]
The blue light that fills the lake gradually encroaches on the surroundings.
Eventually, a blue curtain formed and surrounded Eunhyeon and Illyana.
All the water in the tent disappears as if evaporating, and at the same time, it is filled with cold air.
“Puh-haa!”
Eunhyeon took in her breath to inhale the oxygen she was lacking.
I immediately looked up her head.
On the surface of the water where a huge avalanche was hitting, there was still no sign of the disaster ending.
Although the sapphire-amplified barrier could block the impact of an avalanche, it could not last for a long time due to its short duration.
Coo coo coo!
The impact of the avalanche was felt all the way to the depths of the lake.
When the sweeping disaster subsided, the curtain amplified with sapphire also reached its limit.
Unable to leave Illyana in the lake any longer, Eunhyeon quickly climbed to the surface.
“Wow, Mr… ! It’s heavy!”
She hurriedly swam until she reached the shallows where her feet could reach, but her already heavy clothes doubled in weight as they absorbed the water.
It was a mouse that fell into the water.
As soon as she got out of the lake, the bitter cold hit her whole body.
The body temperature that had already been lost didn’t even seem to come back, and perhaps because she was soaked, her whole body felt like it was freezing.
But there was someone more important than her.
Eunhyeon laid Illyana, who was holding her in her arms, on the floor.
I immediately checked her pulse, but I couldn’t feel it at all.
Judging by the fact that her chest was not moving at all, her breathing had stopped.
“I’m sorry.”
She had no time to worry.
Eunhyeon took off her soaked clothes without hesitation.
She pressed her breasts with her voluptuous breasts beyond the maturity of a woman.
“When I wake up, please give me a slap in the face.”
Eunhyeon placed her own lips against Iliana’s, and she breathed her breath into her prayers.

Tadak
“Eww…”
Something tickled my ear.
As Illyana’s consciousness gradually rose to the surface, her sounds became more and more distinct.
It was the sound of firewood burning.
As she slowly opened her frowning expression, a burning bonfire caught her eye.
“This place… Huh?”
As my body’s senses came back belatedly, I slowly began to recognize my surroundings.
It was a small hut whose surroundings were filled with the light of a burning campfire.
Why is she here?
As soon as she had the question, it was resolved.
Illyana felt something wrapping around her body.
It felt familiar.
A similar feeling that someone similar to before is hugging you.
I was in the arms of a man who I had never allowed in before, but as the expedition to this snowy mountain began, I had no choice but to unintentionally allow it.
And if there is one fact that cannot be overlooked.
“This, this, this, this…” .”
Illyana said that she was naked in Eunhyeon’s arms, without even a single layer of clothing on.
“What happened… !”
“Be quiet. “My head hurts.”
Illyana, who was startled by her tired voice, trembled.
When she reflexively turned her head back, she found Eunhyeon’s face embracing her.
Eunhyeon was very tired.
At the same time, in order to prevent Illyana’s posture in her arms from collapsing, he holds her by fixing her arms and legs.
“…”
Illyana couldn’t say anything.
What came to her mind was so pure that she couldn’t even think about it.
The first thing that came into view of Illyana was the upper body of her sister, hugging her with her bare skin exposed just like her own.
Her strong chest and abs seem to indicate that she has been training for a long time.
The man’s muscular upper body was enough to turn Illyana’s mind into a blank slate.
That’s natural.
The sight of a man’s upper body for the first time in her life was quite shocking to an adult woman who had realized that she was of the opposite sex.
“Uh, uh, why are you and me naked… !”
She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even realize that her voice was shaking.
Illyana was so shaken.
For Illyana, who had never shown her bare skin or naked body to others, nor had she ever shown her naked body to others, this current situation was very embarrassing.
“Hmm. “I am sorry about that.”
On the other hand, unlike Illyana’s agitation, Eunhyeon’s reaction is very calm.
Eunhyeon explained the current situation succinctly to calm Illyana, who was very agitated.
A series of processes, from throwing her body toward the lake at the bottom of the cliff while trying to avoid her avalanche, to checking Illyana’s condition as soon as she swam out of the lake, and arriving at her current location in order to improve her condition.
“… “I’m trying to improve my physical condition, but why do we have to hug each other naked?”
“If she continued to wear water-soaked clothes, she would have lost more body heat. And this was unavoidable in order to maintain your body temperature.”
“…”
Illyana glared at her Eunhyeon with a very suspicious expression, but she soon sighed.
Then she turned her head forward again.
Her upper body, which had been very rigid, leans back.
She naturally had no choice but to touch Eunhyeon’s chest.
The chest of a man I feel for the first time is warm and firm, very firm and makes me feel safe.
“Are you okay?”
“What is it?”
“… To be honest, I thought you would give me a slap in the face.”
No matter how urgent the situation was, she took off her clothes without asking for permission in advance.
Even though I’m holding her naked like this, doesn’t it feel like I want to slap her?
However, Illyana’s answer was beyond Eunhyeon’s expectations.
“They told me to believe.”
“Yes?”
Eunhyeon asked back as if she had heard an unexpected answer.
“You said that to me when you jumped. “Believe it.”
“… “You did, right?”
“So I have no doubts. This may have been to help me.”
So Illyana quickly accepted this fact.
“… Thank you.”
Eunhyeon was slightly relieved.
To be honest, it was just something she said to reassure her when she was shaking with anxiety, and there was no other intention on her part.
She couldn’t help but be thankful.
In fact, although Illyana understood this situation intellectually, it was something she could not accept emotionally.
Illyana’s complex psychology was not discovered by Eunhyeon.
‘What should I do? How long do I have to stay like this? Could it last all day?’
Her heart raced as she imagined having to stay in his arms like this all day.
‘Why, why are you like this! Really!?’
Is it really true that her own heart was so cold that it barely moved?
It makes no sense.
It feels as strong as the earthquake that caused that terrible avalanche?
In fact, the heart beats faster than usual.
As the tension that had been released tightened again, my upper body became stiff again.
There is no way Eunhyeon could not have noticed the change in Illyana’s attitude.
‘Also… Is it a bit burdensome?’
I can’t believe I, a man, and her naked body have to touch each other like this.
Eunhyeon also knew very well that it was something that could not be helped.
Therefore, Eunhyeon thought it was her role to reassure her and opened her mouth.
“Rest assured.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t even want to tell you that the situation has come to this, but I don’t want you to be too nervous.”
“It’s easier said than done…”
“I have no interest in your body.”
“…”
The silence subsided for a moment.
“So, you can rest assured.”
I said it again, but there was no response from Illyana.
Instead of answering, Illyana turned her head back and looked at her eunhyeon.
‘What is this guy?’
As Illyana, she had no choice but to think that way.
Although she said she spoke with as much consideration as possible, the problem is her tone and attitude.
Does that mean her own body is unsightly?
Although she couldn’t even say it herself, she was so confident in her appearance and body that she unintentionally caught the attention of many men even within her magic tower.
‘Are we going to fight?’
It was enough for those doubts to cross her mind.
“Hmm? “Why are you doing that?”
Even though she said those words, I could hear her expression showing that she had no awareness at all.
The excitement in Illyana’s heart, which had been pounding violently, throbbed even more violently.
If the agitation from before was the warmth of an itch that couldn’t be defined, this emotion is boiling anger.
How dare you say such things about me and my body?
Irritability and anger that make me feel the same way.
In short, I was very proud.
‘Should I just hit him?’
She said she would believe it, but for some reason she felt like punching her.
But is it really right to hit this man who desperately ran to save him and looked for a way to live?
It was a time when she was torn between her own emotions and her duties.
Eunhyeon interpreted Illyana’s gaze at her without saying anything differently.
“I repeat, I want your body…”
“Okay.”
“Yes?”
“I understand. “Shut your mouth.”
“Yes.”
Eunhyeon answered without realizing it.
‘What? ‘Your speech suddenly became shorter?’
In the momentary silence, Eunhyeon did not realize that she had been crushed by Illyana’s force.
At the same time, Illyana’s upper body leaned against Eunhyeon again.
Perhaps because she had been tense for quite some time, her body became limp, and she completely gave up her weight.
Eunhyeon was slightly relieved.
Because she was confident that her doubts had finally been relieved because her sincere appeal had been heard.
‘Phew, that’s a relief.’
Illyana, on the other hand, had completely different thoughts.
‘It’s annoying. ‘My pride is hurt.’
It was my first time feeling like this.
It was the first time in her life that she had to worry about something like this.
‘I… ‘Isn’t it that attractive?’
A worry that I absolutely cannot tolerate due to my pride.
It was a moment when she began to seriously think about her own attractiveness as a woman.
