Chapter 288 – Until Death Do Us Part
To Japan.
Basically, you go to get a treat, but you can’t go empty-handed. This is because the better the relationship, the more faithful the comings and goings are.
Relationships between large organizations often have problems due to differences or mistakes made by subordinates. In times like this, you need to have a lot of things you have accumulated in order to get through it safely.
To be honest, cultivating relationships on such a large scale is not my specialty.
The way I behaved was something I did on a micro level when I was an officer or middle manager.
This is to the extent of bribing local gangs and public authorities or responding to class politics within the military.
Establishing a relationship with the warlord who boasts the most powerful influence in Kyushu. Artemis is better suited than me for this.
From preparing gifts to take, forming an escort, scheduling a conversation with a high-ranking person there, and even preparing a simple speech. She delegated everything to her.
“Huh! Leave everything to me. “You have nothing to lose by listening to me.”
Artemis returned from the incubator and pounded her bountiful breasts. It is truly a confident declaration.
“All you have to do is play and eat comfortably and sign the payment form that I organized and uploaded. “There’s no need to read anything.”
“That’s a very irresponsible leader.”
In history, if the highest decision-maker leaves everything to the second-in-command like this, it is a shortcut to corruption and ruin.
But Artemis would be a complete exception. She never does or thinks anything that would harm me.
It is a happy thing to have such a completely trustworthy person by your side in your life.
“You seem in a good mood. Are you so looking forward to your trip to Japan?”
Asked Artemis, who was even humming her song.
“Rather than looking forward to the trip, I like the preparation itself.”
“What do you mean?”
Artemis’ face turned slightly red, perhaps because she was embarrassed. Of all the women I know, she is probably the type that has the worst facial expressions.
“I feel like I’m helping something properly. “Jinsu, this is an official meeting where you are attending as the representative.”
“Have you ever had connections with Hwang Jin of Honam or Seongbong Lee of Yeosu in the past?”
“It felt closer to a joint military operation, and this is different.”
Artemis puckering her cute mouth with the tips of her ten fingers pressed together.
“Would you say it feels like tying a man’s tie on his way to work?”
“I see. “I was approaching it with the feeling of a honeymoon.”
“Poetry, newlyweds…”
“This is our first trip together across the water. “I guess that’s a honeymoon or something?”
Was he embarrassed by the sudden attack? The tips of her fingers, which had been touching each other, became misaligned.
There is a reason why I brought this up.
When I placed my hand on my chest, I felt the small feeling of a box in my pocket. The speed at which the heart beats rapidly accelerates.
“What, you suddenly have such a serious face?”
Perhaps sensing the change in atmosphere, Artemis also straightened her posture.
“What are you to me, Artemis? Friend? Secretary? Your doctor? Research director? Administrator? Combat Operator? Staff? Lover? And… Wife?”
Since we’ve been together, Artemis has assisted me in so many different positions.
Every moment was woven into precious memories. Cry, laugh, talk, fight, admire, be thankful.
“These relationships are so precious that it’s hard to choose just one, but if I had to choose one, it would be my wife.”
“… Wife.”
Although it is a little bit, her standards have risen. She peeked down and saw that she was lifting her heel. It seems she didn’t realize it herself.
“This is also a reasonable reason. A very capable wife can do all the things listed above.”
“Because a woman like me is omnipotent.”
A feeling of pride mixed with shame, arrogance, and joy.
“I have entrusted my life and everything surrounding me, even my blood and flesh, to you, right? Since we’re so close to each other, I think we’ve been living without clearly defining our relationship. Just a vague feeling like, ‘We’ll continue to be together in the future.'”
“Is it natural for us to be together forever?”
“That’s what it says. But I want to make sure now.”
I got down on one knee in front of Artemis.
“Ah!”
Have you already noticed what I have prepared? Probably so.
I’m aware of her, but if I were to select just these scenes from the video media we’ve watched together so far, the number would be in double digits.
My golden eyes moved as my hand entered my pocket. Her eyes fluttered as she grabbed the small box.
You won’t be able to see it, but you will be able to tell what you are holding just by this atmosphere and the subtle muscle movements of your wrist.
“Will you accept it?”
The usual flirtatious atmosphere was completely erased. My hand extended in a reverential posture.
There was a small box on top of it, and inside the box was a sparkling ring.
“When I am strong or weak, when I am at peace or when I walk on the battlefield, whether the world praises us or opposes us. “I will respect, protect, and love you until the last moment.”
It’s an oath that should have been made a long time ago.
Comfort and the complacency that days like today would continue made me lazy.
“It’s really too late.”
“I’m sorry.”
Golden eyes sparkle brilliantly. Artemis’s white fingers come down as she becomes wet with tears.
It felt more like receiving a precious treasure than offering her hand. Even though I am the one giving the ring.
The porcelain-like fingers he held with his left hand were trembling with joy. To the point where it was a bit difficult to put the ring on.
But I don’t hate this vibration. It just makes me ecstatic.
Carefully place the ring on her right hand onto her ring finger.
“I want to have you as my wife. As a married couple, we pledge to remain one for the rest of our lives.”
Artemis’ hand slowly falling.
The trembling didn’t subside, so much so that she had to grab it with her other hand.
“I definitely received your warm heart.”
The peach-like lips responded with a voice that was as trembling as the hands.
“Huh… Haha…”
Artemis took several deep breaths to calm herself down as she was about to say the most important thing.
“I will always prepare a warm and abundant place for your return. Both this body and this nest.”
Artemis placed her ringed hand on her heart. Her other hand was spread wide and pointed toward her shelter.
“I will serve you so that you can enjoy all the satisfaction, pleasure, and glory that a human being can enjoy. Wake up. “Face me.”
Like the hand of a Lady who raises a man to become a knight, Artemis established me firmly.
“…”
“…”
We exchange passionate looks in silence for a moment.
“Are we a couple now?”
I said.
“We were originally a couple. “This is just an act of putting a stamp on paper.”
Artemis said.
She spread her hands happily. I look down at the ring on my ring finger.
“It’s platinum.”
“I think this will suit you best.”
He stroked Artemis’ brilliant silver hair. Her breathtakingly white skin.
Either way, it goes well with this platinum ring.
It also has strong chemical resistance, so it would be suitable for Artemis that regularly enters the incubator.
However, I didn’t bother to say this because I thought it would break the mood.
“With this, I can just wear it when I go into the incubator. After all, it’s the insight of a doctorate.”
Her smile is filled with pride, like a woman bragging about her husband.
I think I could have just said it. Looking back, the girl in front of me is the ultimate in science.
“You know this? Among the elements that make up my body, there is also platinum.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Artemis took my hand and placed it on her chest, specifically on her heart.
Her heart was beating as vigorously as mine, and I could hear the powerful beating even when I held the surface of her large breasts.
“The only precious metal that makes up this heart is platinum. Is it somehow romantic? “A ring of oath that connects to my heart.”
“…”
Artemis’ beautiful face soaked in happiness.
She couldn’t bear it anymore.
She grabbed the back of her head and pulled it towards me. Our lips touch.
Artemis, too, did not greedily desire me as usual, but obeyed meekly.
Side.
Repetition of putting warm lips on each other, pulling them apart, and putting them back on again.
The unique sweet scent of her saliva fills my mouth.
Jjook.
With your lips touching, rub them like an airplane waving its wings.
Each time, the incredibly soft yet sticky texture gave me indescribable satisfaction.
While we were kissing each other full of love, I felt a trickle of warm liquid on my cheek. The tears that Artemis shed flowed down my cheeks.
Side.
Each other’s tongues did not move. What they are doing now is not caressing, but making more saliva and sending it to the other person.
We longed for each other’s lips like a puppy sucking its mother’s milk.
“Ha.”
Our faces slowly fall, sending our heated breath towards each other. Silver threads hang down in arcs.
Flying.
As always, it was caught by her long, clean pink tongue.
Is it because of the affectionate kiss? Artemis’ trembling hand holding my arm had calmed down considerably. Now there is only a weak vibration.
“Stop crying.”
But the tears still flowing.
“Then you cleaned it.”
“That’s as much as you want.”
I bent my fingers and gently wiped Artemis’ eyes.
She slowly closes her eyes, raises the corners of her mouth and looks happy.
“I swear again. “I will love and cherish you until death do us part.”
“…”
That moment.
Artemis’ trembling stopped as she held my arm.
Kwaak.
I felt my fingers digging in and applying enough force that it felt painful.
Her golden eyes opened before she knew it. The face was still full of joy, but there was a coldness in the air.
The moment when I tried to get close to my face to share another passionate kiss, wondering if I had become anxious for some unknown reason.
The white index finger covered my lips.
“Artemis?”
“It was the happiest vow of my life. But let’s get one thing straight.”
Her hands left her arms and came up to cup my cheeks. I can feel the coolness of the ring I put on earlier on one side of my cheek.
“Until death do us part?”
The golden eyes, which had been shaking with tears, regained their calm.
“Not really.”
She shook her head. It’s slow, but it has a dullness that makes you feel like Mount Tai is moving.
“Not even death will separate us. Because I will do it.”
Golden eyes are burning like the sun. With the power to evaporate wet tears in an instant.
“…”
In the face of her incredible power, I couldn’t say, ‘Hey, that was just a cliché.’
