Chapter 607 – Monday, Week 8 (18)
Marey was still uncomfortable with Lauren. It occurred to her that they were definitely closer than before, but she didn’t know what she was thinking. She didn’t know what she wanted from herself. The kindness she showed was warm enough to push her away, and she harbored a coldness that would freeze her if touched.
She wished she had told me ahead of time if she was going to call Lauren. Marei looked at her Ran with her resentful eyes, but the golden fox Miko only looked at Marei with her numb eyes.
“Oh, thank you for today, Master..”
“Yes, please. Marey.”
At the stinging gaze he felt right next to her, Marei tensed her body to make sure she wouldn’t make a mistake.
“Marey, are you uncomfortable with Lauren-sama?”
“Oh, no. Oh, that’s… Therefore… No.”
Lauren’s stinging gaze forced Maray to be wary of her words. She used to use honorifics throughout class, but unlike Ran, who didn’t say anything even if she made a mistake in the middle, she, Lauren, were strict.
“Aren’t you still a child? You shouldn’t be so scolded for even the slightest mistake.”
“Hey, Mr. Ran. Dare… To talk like that to Ran.”
“It’s okay. Didn’t Marie do the same?”
“You disrupted the class, excuse me.”
When the story of Marie de Fawen came up, Lauren let out a short sigh and apologized. When she was with Ran, Lauren always seemed angry. She didn’t know what she was thinking or her intentions, but unlike usual, when she was with Ran, she seemed to know what Lauren was feeling.
Anger. Jealousy. Petulance. Envy. It was such a simple and clear feeling. Lauren said that she was expressing her true feelings for Marey without even trying to hide it. She only did that when she was with Toxic Ran.
She recalled Lauren’s words to her: Don’t hate her too much, because she expects so much of herself. She wonders what kind of existence Ran is to Lauren. She thought about it, but she didn’t have an answer. She didn’t have much time to think either.
“Has she ever masturbated?”
“Four?!”
“How many wet dreams have you had? She must have suffered every day because she had too much yang.”
It must have been hard. Ran quickly added her words.
“Ran… ? What are you talking about?”
“I am educating. Is there any problem?”
At Ran’s stern reply, Lauren glanced at Marey, who was squirming around her, and let out a small sigh. She continued her speech, unable to hide the attitude that she was reluctant to speak on the subject.
“I have to stay still as I asked for an observer, but I will speak without rudeness. What are you talking about why talk like that…”
“Didn’t you say education?”
“So, what? Education. To do that. Stories. Do. Whether there is Thing. Ask there is.”
Lauren spoke to Ran, syllable-by-syllable, with her stiff face.
“…Didn’t you tell Lauren-sama last time, too? It means that Marey is having a wet dream.”
“…Didn’t you decide to keep it a secret from that child?”
Lauren let out a short sigh and glanced at her Marey. Her purple eyes contained a hint of pity and bewilderment. It was the first time she had ever seen Lauren show emotion like this, except when she was angry.
“I have spoken to Marey. I didn’t have time at the time, so I couldn’t finish the story properly.”
“I’m going to attach someone to sex education, so don’t mind Ran.”
“I have taught you all the basics. You don’t have to.”
At Ran’s reply, Lauren seemed not to understand the situation, and she let out a sigh as she crossed her arms as if lifting her large breasts.
“I should have paid more attention, sorry. How should I apologize to Ran… “
After Ran nodded her head appropriately as if she didn’t mind her, she smiled lightly at Marey. She then became expressionless, as if nothing had happened to her.
“It’s okay. They said it wasn’t going well, so I thought I’d tell you how today.”
“I’ll tell you… What… No way.”
Lauren looked at Ran in disbelief as the towel lay next to Marey, as she watched the basin full of hot water steaming up.
“Yes, I explained to you how to masturbate, but since you said you couldn’t do it alone, I’m going to tell you?”
Ran was laughing. Lauren pursed her lips at the inexplicable feeling in her laugh. And soon after, she realizes that Ran is going to help Marey masturbate, and she furrows her eyebrows.
“Ran. Let me tell Ravela, the child. It’s something you don’t have to do. It is also inappropriate to do.”
Strange. Lauren swallowed her words up to the tip of her throat. Ran was different from herself. Although she was a dragon, she was different from herself living as a human. She was a god, and she was a being living as a god. She knew it would be disrespectful for her to try to understand her, so she had no choice but to swallow her words.
“What is it not? I told you at the time of Marie… ?”
Seeing Ran’s questioning since she didn’t know her sincerity, Lauren bit her mouth tightly. What, where and how should she speak? No, she might rather be the odd one herself. She wanted to understand God, but she couldn’t.
“First of all, Marey is a boy…”
“Is Ravella a boy?”
“…Then I’ll try to find someone else.”
Lauren didn’t want to talk about it. She didn’t want to confront her, or have her feelings that he didn’t understand her. That’s why she seemed to be in a hurry to evade, rather than confronting her directly.
“It is more strange to learn from outsiders.”
“Times have changed, Ran.”
Looking at the god who has been here for thousands of years, Lauren let out a short sigh. She wasn’t wrong about what she said. Even ten years ago, she wasn’t unusual. If you think so. It was also strange that the focus was on her words, “No, she thinks so.”
She might have been too imbued with the values she drew from Time Attack Account 32. She could be the odd one herself. Lauren conceded.
“Am I wrong?”
Facing her golden eyes, Lauren couldn’t help but nod her head. The expression that she is right or wrong belongs to humans. Living as a human, she wondered if she was forcing herself on Ran. She was always full of confidence, but she couldn’t help but be cautious in front of Ran.
“…I was thinking of pairing Marey with Ravela. I also talked to Marey. So, Ravella, how about leaving her to the child?”
“I also taught Mari, so why can’t she be Marai?”
Lauren took a long breath in and didn’t let it out. Ran was sticking to her stubbornness. She knew, of course, that she was stubborn.
I was just thinking about why this happened. Lauren had never raised her voice with Ran in that long time.
This was the first time. However, she thought that it might not be the last either.
“I don’t think this is.”
“Why?”
“Why? There are so many reasons.”
It was Lauren who said that, but she had no good reason to make Ran understand. She was well aware of it herself, but she had her mouth moving wildly. She herself knew that if Ran asked her back, she would spew her sophistry again.
“Are you worried about me being with Marey?”
Lauren stopped and looked at Ran, as if she had a momentary breakdown.
And she answered quite late, after some time.
“…No.”
“Then what is the problem?”
Lauren looked at Ran without saying anything. She had a sharp gaze, as if staring. Despite Lauren’s staring at her, she seemed unwilling to give up her point. So, she said it casually.
“Marey, take it off.”
Marais opened her eyes wide. The boy had no choice but to unfasten her belt as if possessed by something at Ran’s voice, which was so heavy that he had never heard it before.
“Put it on, Marey.”
On the other side, Lauren commanded firmly.
“Didn’t you tell me to take it off?”
At Ran’s heavy voice, Maray looked at Lauren as if she didn’t know what to do. Lauren glanced at Marey, then she just stared silently at Ran.
“Did you forget you were in class? Take it off.”
“Ah, yes, four! Sin, sorry.”
Hearing Ran’s scolding for the first time, Marei hurriedly stood up and buttoned her shirt. She couldn’t understand what was going on. Ran had no emotion and she was looking at herself. She seemed to be quickening the gaze of her golden eyes, so Marey had no choice but to unbutton her button or two, knowing the situation was strange.
“Wear it, I said.”
At Lauren’s words, Marei took off her top and folded it neatly, carefully looking at Ran. The golden eyes were still sharpening themselves. On the other side, purple eyes glared at him.
“There is no need to be ashamed of this. Didn’t I tell you last time? It’s a natural thing.”
Hearing Ran’s kind voice, Marey unknowingly let out a long, hot sigh. Then, with her face immediately flushed with shame, she slowly began to unfasten her belt.
“Marey. De. Parwen. Are my words funny?”
Marey’s movements stopped at Lauren’s voice, which seemed to contain her anger.
“Marey.”
Ran called her own name.
“Marey.”
Lauren called her own name. With Marai holding her belt, she couldn’t do anything. She wanted to run away. She trembled as she felt a tremendous power that she could not deny at the voice of Ran, who had underlying her, saying that she was a cute female teacher.
“Lauren-sama, if you have a difference of opinion, let’s have a conversation. What’s wrong with this kid I am Marey’s teacher and I am educating in the right direction. She gave permission to observe, not to interfere.”
“…Ran, I am a family member.”
“Are you saying I’m not part of the family?”
Lauren’s eyes were responding so naturally. However, she didn’t spit it out. To Ran, who regarded Mari as her own daughter, she could understand why her existence as Mare made her consider her family.
I had to analyze, disassemble, and organize each one. But in order to do so, she had to break her Ran’s stubbornness, she had to speak out her thoughts in a banal way, and she had to explain the environment in which Mare de Fawen grew up.
And after the explanation, I had to convince him. In other words, there was nothing but blushing for Ran and her face. Lauren took the easy, easy path rather than confronting Ran.
“Marey.”
At Lauren’s voice calling her name, Marey tightened her belt with her trembling hands. A very faint smile bloomed on her Lauren’s lips at her boy’s actions, as if she were putting her own words first.
