Chapter 19 – Cult (4)
“Mr. Einstein.”
Arya’s words were full of tremors.
It was a feeling of bewilderment, difficulty, and fresh excitement.
Arya, with a complex and subtle state of mind, looked at Einstein.
“Here… This is my room.”
The syllables are like the breath that was finally released after holding it for a long time.
Why is he so impatient when that person just came to his room?
It’s not that I don’t know why.
I already know why.
Because I like it.
Because you like people
Although it is a feeling that cannot be allowed to oneself.
Einstein took a look at Arya’s room.
There were only necessary daily necessities, but no symbolic items.
It was such a bleak room that he wanted to decorate it even more than this.
“It is a desolate room.”
“… Don’t turn around Why are you here?”
He smiled mischievously.
“I want to be here.”
It was a very self-centered statement, and it was like Einstein.
Arya was embarrassed.
She had neither the power nor the words to expel this man.
Calling someone else would ruin his reputation.
“It is difficult.”
Yes.
It is difficult.
It was a sense that the unclean desire that I had endured while living with him was quickly ignited.
“Can we sleep together? As it has always been.”
Arya’s face flushed red at the remark that was close to raw.
Do you know
That there is a lowly woman who used to soothe herself thinking of you.
Do you know
That there is a woman holding you in your arms and imagining the future.
I shouldn’t have known
Only then will you be able to calmly fold this heart.
It felt as if the emotions I had suppressed for so long would tear me down, as if bursting an embankment.
Come to think of it, even when staying at an inn, there was plenty of space to share rooms.
Isn’t an inn always fully booked?
Even so, the reason why they shared the same room was because no complaints came from either side.
But this is different.
It can leave room for some perversion.
“I do not know what kind of scandal will be heard because of me.”
“Let them talk as they please.”
He lay down on the bed as if he didn’t care.
Einstein was on the large side, giving Arya’s bed the feeling of being full.
“… Mr. Einstein.”
“Call me Einstein, it’s about time.”
When he told me to omit the title of honor, he showed a soft smile.
It was a fatal smile for Arya.
Sore throat
My heart rate went up on its own as if my heart had malfunctioned.
Whoa.
Arya exhaled, calming her violently beating heart.
“… You are playing too much today.”
“I was angry when my saintess drew a line and called me ‘the warrior’.”
Arya quickly bowed her head at the word “My saintess.”
No other words came to my ears.
Just, the words ‘my saintess’ that came out of that person’s lips came to me like sweet honey.
Arya was almost intoxicated by her euphoria that drenched her heart.
Thump, thump, thump.
A loud heartbeat continued, like a knock.
When she opens her mouth, her heart feels like it’s about to jump out.
Arya struggled to open her mouth.
“Are you satisfied with making me uncomfortable?”
Einstein meekly looked at Aria, who lowered her head.
It must be quite embarrassing that even her ears turned red.
He shook her head from side to side.
“No.”
“Then stop joking around like this.”
Einstein’s transparent black pupils face Aria.
It was a straight-forward look.
“Come on.”
Einstein stretched out her arms as she lay on her bed and flicked her hands.
It was a gesture to come into her arms.
It is stimulating.
It is overly stimulating and sensational.
It’s the exact same situation with her delusion she had in her usual.
No, it’s worse in terms of reality.
She felt an intense elation that seemed to melt her brain.
Emotions were not suppressed, and even words could not come out properly.
“Um, what are you talking about?”
“You did too, ask me to hug you tightly.”
Aria’s inner side was close to the verge of bursting at the stimulating and mischievous words.
She obviously said that.
Did!
Strictly speaking, wasn’t it said in a state of inadequacy?
He has a faint smile.
“Don’t you like it?”
I was worried.
Throw away all your trivial pride and fall into his arms.
Or, at least, to save face.
The worry didn’t last long.
Einstein grabbed the dazed Aria by the wrist and dragged her into her bed.
Arya, who was thrown off balance by her sudden attraction, fell face down on her bed, and she attacked him from above.
It was quite embarrassing, but Einstein’s expression did not change.
That innocence is disgusting.
He himself is agitated like this.
Even so, his heart breaks.
Why do you have such a calm face?
If we stick together a little further, the distance that the tips of each other’s noses can touch.
A distance where you can see each other’s breath.
Arya’s black hair swayed on her.
“Ah.”
Neither Arya nor Einstein had voiced it.
It was a boy’s tone.
A golden iris could be seen through the crack in the open door.
“I’m sorry. Holy Lady!”
It was Makarov.
The boy quickly spurned his seat and left.
Arya saw the boy disappearing in dismay.
Her body and mind, which had been heated by her excitement and lust, cooled more than ever.
“… Did you leave the door open?”
A question asked blankly, as if out of spirit.
For some reason, Einstein felt a sense of pleasure in that stupid voice.
So he laughed out loud as he decided to follow the fun.
“That expression is spectacle, Aria.”
Arya tugged at her own hair.
“What should I do, what if I say something to that child?”
“Do you know me?”
“… Yes.”
“Then shall we make it an established fact so that the child does not misunderstand?”
Fait accompli.
At those words, Arya felt the world shake.
Is that a euphemistic recommendation?
It’s like Mr. Einstein and I are going to have sex, isn’t it?
When your mind is in a state of confusion.
‘Then, how about giving it to me once in a while?’
Arya remembered what Bishop Ronin had said.
My heart, which had been thrilled and didn’t know what to do, froze in an instant.
I just remembered it.
Why would he speak in this situation?
After confirming that Aria’s expression had deteriorated, Einstein gently stroked Aria’s head.
“It was a bad joke, sorry.”
Not.
It’s never your fault.
Arya wanted to say that.
“… If you are truly sorry, please leave.”
Words of denial.
She didn’t mean to say this.
Why is this mouth spewing out random words?
Einstein had a troubled face.
“It’s difficult because I have a story I want to tell.”
“A story?”
“Then come this way.”
Einstein took Arya in her arms.
Her heart was beating like never before when she became like a Mrs. Juk.
At the same time, I also felt miserable feelings.
As Bishop Ronin said, can a bitch who easily rolls her body accept Mr. Einstein’s affection?
Arya felt as if an iron rod had been lodged between her neck and chest.
“… What do you want to talk about?”
“You said you were curious about the reason I catch monsters last time, right?”
Oh, I’m sure I’ve said that before.
What he said was an aria that I remembered quite a bit.
“I heard you didn’t teach me.”
“I will tell you.”
“… Really?”
“Really.”

Winter is for everyone, but it is a particularly harsh season for orphans on the streets.
The Einstein siblings were also one of those orphans.
Most of the orphaned brother and sister’s daily routine was begging, and if they could eat at least one meal a day by begging, that day was a lucky day.
The two siblings wandered the streets begging begging to fill their hungry stomachs for days and days.
There might be times when you get noticed by neighborhood bullies and get mass lynched, but there was never anything positive about kind-hearted residents handing out something.
Not surprisingly, as the cold winter approached, the hearts of the residents grew more bitter.
It was only natural for a human being to prioritize the mouths of the families she was responsible for, rather than handing out food to her unfamiliar orphans.
Despite such difficult conditions, Einstein’s older sister, Amelia, did not lose her smile.
Einstein thought his sister, who was always fussing around, was stupid.
What good would happen if she smiled in an environment where there was nothing good for her.
“It’s okay, Einstein. Just had bad luck today. Will tomorrow be a little different?”
She was foolishly optimistic.
Tomorrow, too, can be bad, but I can’t believe I’m holding out hope.
Einstein squinted her eyes and sarcastically.
“What is different? We won’t even get through the winter anyway.”
This winter has been particularly harsh.
There were already several orphans who were frozen to death, and among them were Einstein’s friends.
Amelia retorted in a soft tone.
“There is no guarantee that this will happen.”
It’s a fact that you can see clearly even with your eyes closed, but what does it mean that there is no guarantee?
Einstein thought there was nothing as futile as a vague hope.
So he might have spoken more savagely to his sister.
“I’ll bet it.”
“Astein.”
“Why sister?”
“Are you trying to fool this older sister?”
Amelia hugged Einstein.
Little Einstein hated his sister’s hugs.
Her hair was greasy, her skin was filthy, and her body smelled musty.
She wanted to know what the beggars were doing to each other, so she pushed her sister away.
“Don’t do it, really.”
She laughed bashfully.
“Astein is a shy person.”
What day it was
A boy dressed in luxurious clothes appeared in the slums.
He accompanied the knights on the left and right.
As a distinctly foreign existence, the street children in the slums did not recklessly approach the boy.
Because there were countless beggars who went against the heart of noble people and died screaming.
The boy flicked the gold coin with his thumb, catching it again and again.
He looked like he was wondering if there was something interesting.
The reason why the Einstein siblings were trampled on by the boy must be because they were unlucky that day.
“Hey, you bastards over there.”
Realizing that the boy was pointing at herself and Astein, Amelia smiled awkwardly and she replied.
“Why, why are you like that, Bocchan?”
The boy said sternly.
“I lost something, find it for me.”
“A thing?”
“Uh. Can you?”
The boy nodded at the knights accompanying him.
It looked like an intention to harm her if she refused.
Amelia shuddered and nodded her head.
“Oh, where can I find it?”
“I dropped it outside of town. It’s about the size of a ring, but it has a large ruby in it. You will know when you see it.”
It was an unkind explanation.
And out of town?
Isn’t it the time when monsters are in full swing?
Finding such a small ring was like finding a needle in the sand.
You shouldn’t go.
Can’t find
Einstein hoped that his sister would decline the offer.
“If I find it, I will give you this gold coin.”
Amelia saw the gold coin the boy was bouncing around.
The shiny yellow coins were too alluring.
With that gold coin, Einstein would not have to starve.
Einstein didn’t have to sleep on the cold floor.
She was Amelia, who had never done anything of her own as an older sister, so she didn’t have to think long.
“I will.”
“Yes?”
The boy smiled and gave the location of the inn he was staying at, and quickly left.
“Sister, are you insane?”
Einstein immediately urged Amelia.
The boy thought Amelia accepted her offer all too easily.
It wasn’t just one or two things to be concerned about.
It’s also a problem for her to find that small ring outside.
It’s also a problem that there’s no guarantee that that cheeky bastard will keep her promise.
It was also a problem in itself that they left competent contractors and asked beggars like themselves.
Even if the back is bad, it should be moderately bad, doesn’t this mean that there is an ulterior motive?
“It’s fine. I’m waiting for you here My sister will bring expensive meals and a warm bed.”
“Are you insane, sister!”
Einstein was going crazy.
The world is not as opportunistic as my sister thinks it is.
Harsh and cold
“Hehe, don’t worry, wait.”
Amelia laughed.
He didn’t care about Einstein’s criticism.
The day when the wind blew like a knife stabbing with an awl.
Amelia went out of town to find the ring, and she never returned.
Never.
