Chapter 3 – Secret Friends.
For the first time in my life, I couldn’t take my eyes off the girl’s bare skin, even though it belonged to the same person. Even though she knew she shouldn’t be like this, her eyes that were constantly being taken away examined the girl’s bare skin and soon she reached the hole beneath her. The peppers that men have, women do not have. But that hole in a woman that a man doesn’t have seemed to seduce him. Like his friends, he wanted to put a pepper in the boy’s hole. When he thought so, he was already putting a pepper in the girl’s hole. He had no middle ground, no time to question what had been done just by thinking about it.
He put his own pepper inside the girl, but strangely, he felt nothing. The moment he saw the face of the girl who was so happy and satisfied with just being one that he accepted his chili. Red was scattered A pretty and subtle color like a red flower rather than a flame. And he remembered whose color it belonged to.
“Usher.”
The girl’s sweet voice tickled his ears. A marigold, full of affection, was looking at him. What she thought was a girl, she became a girl and looked at him before she knew it. He opened his eyes as happiness that seemed to melt her body filled her heart. Then the dark, old wooden ceiling caught his eye.
“Was it a dream?”
The moment Usher realized that, a sense of desolation came over him. As the dirty and empty paint washes away from the inside of my heart, it seemed that the filth remained and made me feel empty. Fortunately, it was a hot summer day, so it wasn’t cold, but the wind that seeped in through the wooden door made his body shiver. It’s not that cold, but today it felt like it was cold in the room. The moment he moved to cover the thin blanket he had reluctantly thrown away in his sleep, Usher felt an uncomfortable, cold sensation in his lower body. In addition, he got up at the unpleasant feeling of stickiness and pulled at the pants and panties at once to look inside the panties that felt like that.
“This.”
It wasn’t like urine. If it was urine, it would have made her panties and pants full, as well as soiled the blanket. But now it feels like I’m trapped inside my panties. However, it was uncomfortable to leave it as it is, and I was curious about seeing it for the first time, so when I put my hand in it and touched it, it had a sticky consistency. When he lifted his hand and sniffed it, it smelled fishy and strange. Then he realized that he had already sniffed this smell. Even in the room before he goes to sleep. Because of this, Usher realized that it was from his pepper.
Usher watched through the peephole in the door as Robert and Conner were doing odd things to the girl while they were taking their pants off. Though he thought he shouldn’t, he couldn’t get into the house. The limit was just to watch what my friends were doing through a hole and suppress the strong curiosity that I wanted to try myself too. Eventually, Robert and Kerner took turns adding and subtracting their own peppers to the girl before starting to dress her in the pants she had taken off.
“Is this the right way to wear it?”
“Perhaps right.”
Even while they were moving her body and dressing her, she moved her body obediently as they made her move, but there was no reaction. Thanks to her, she could see the girl’s naked body all over, but she couldn’t leisurely watch her naked body.
“But why isn’t Usher here?”
“I don’t know, he said he was going home earlier, but he’s not there. It’s not like he’s new and strange for a day or two. I tried to ask him to join me, but it’s his fault that he’s not there.”
Robert still told Conner to keep a lookout just in case, and Usher had to hide in a hurry. In the end, it wasn’t until they disappeared with the girl clumsily dressed as her that Usher was able to enter his house. And he had to leave the door open for a while, frowning at the smell of sweat and the strange smell that filled his room. I didn’t know anything else, but I roughly understood that if I did something like that with a girl like my friends did, this would happen.
The problem was that Usher had never done anything like that. My friends, while he was away from home, were doing things like that with a girl, and took her girl back without knowing that he was secretly watching. There was no way he could do such a thing. But I couldn’t say that I had very few guesses. Well, while he was asleep, he dreamed of doing something like that with a girl, no, Belka. Then Usher was taken aback when he noticed that his peppers had swelled up considerably.
“Why are you doing this again?”
Was he doing this even though he just remembered something from his dream? I was ashamed that something like sticky urine came out just because I had only had such a dream, and felt sorry for Belka, who had appeared in the dream, so I quickly changed my panties. But there was still something troubling.
“How do I handle this?”
It would be a big deal if someone else found out about the sticky panties. Once I came out to wash my panties, the dark yard that I could see was more gloomy and scary than when the sunset was setting. In order to wash my panties, I had to go to the water bucket in the corner of the yard, but I was hesitating because I couldn’t see an inch ahead. The moonlight began to gently clear the darkness of the yard. I looked up at the sky where the light was shining, and there was a moon peeking out through the clouds. The moonlit yard was no longer scary, and thinking that it was just fine, he scooped up water with a gourd from the bucket and washed his pants.
The moonlight continued to shine on him until he washed all his underwear, and the moonlight made him feel warmer than expected. Perhaps the villagers would think it strange if they knew what he was thinking, but he was grateful for the moon shining on him. Usher, who had safely washed off the sticky things clinging to his panties, returned home and lay down, and soon fell asleep. And by the time he woke up, it was already dawn.
“Haaam.”
Waking up in a daze and yawning, I remembered the events of last night and looked around and saw the panties I had spread out in the room to dry without being noticed by people. I touched my panties just in case, but as expected, the panties weren’t dry and were still damp. Usher sighed and decided to dry his panties while the sun was up by the side of the house out of sight. It will dry quickly as it is summer. It was the time when I hung out my panties like sticking them on the wall of the house, hoping that they would dry before anyone who came to the house found out.
“Usher, are you there?”
He almost screamed in surprise when he heard a voice looking for him, but he managed to figure out the owner of the voice so he wouldn’t be caught drying his panties.
“Aunt Kate?”
She stuck her head out beside her and looked out into the yard and saw a woman standing with something slung around her waist. She was an ajumma who managed and operated a mill in this village. Was today her babysitting day for Usher?
“What are you doing?”
“Fortunately, there was! I just needed something, so I asked the woodcutter, and I had a lot of work to do, so I thought it would take a long time. You know, don’t our kids fight so hard?”
“Yes.”
Aunt Kate: Yes, her children are twins, a boy and a girl. The two were famous for violent quarrels even in this small town. There is even a story that when I pass by Aunt Kate’s house, except at night when the children are asleep, I hear the sound of children fighting and Aunt Kate’s shouting to stop it every single day. She wondered if she should have pretended to be asleep or ignorant because somehow she felt uneasy. She already knew she was late and she regretted it.
“Will you take care of me a little until I get back?”
In the end, Usher couldn’t bear to refuse her earnest gaze. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for her to ask her to do her job. Normally, other grown-ups would throw in some bland potatoes or something for a meal, but she gave me homemade bread. She was so good at making bread that her freshly made hot bread kept Usher coyly waiting for her turn to take care of him. Even so.
“Usher Brother! Tom pushed!”
“You pushed first!”
It was harder than I imagined to take care of children who couldn’t eat each other so much. He didn’t stay quiet even for a moment, and if he fought or shouted to stop the fight, he would ask if he was on his side, and if he did, he’d slam them into it. Since I was taking care of the children with the feeling of being caught up in the morning, a good idea came to my mind.
“Do you like old stories?”
“Is it an old story again?”
“Adults always tell old stories when they get bored.”
The sharp words of the children stabbed him in the chest.
“Listen first and think about it!”
A very, very long time ago. It is said that there was a time when everyone used magic like breathing and lived a convenient and comfortable life that is unimaginable now.
“Ah, that’s nonsense.”
It should be just for fun. What is this guy so crooked about?
“If you don’t believe me, don’t listen.”
“Ah! Listen! Listen!”
When Usher acts as if he will not tell the story to Tom, who seems to be constantly arguing with him, Tom screams. That’s what I wanted to hear after all. In any case, back when everyone was able to use magic, it was possible for humans to cook and eat simply without needing to light a fire for a long time like now, and there was no need to fetch water from a well or use a river. Because it was possible to call it with a simple gesture. No matter how far away it is, magic that can move you to the desired place in an instant was not missing in life.
“Brother, then can we use magic too?”
“You idiot! If we could use magic, would we be living in such an uncomfortable way?”
“Who’s stupid!”
“Again, why do you keep trying to fight?”
Children who start fighting again after a while.
“But he got into a fight first!”
“When did I!”
Oh, I want to see Belka. Looking at the children who couldn’t eat each other and looking like they couldn’t eat each other, I missed Belka very much, who always cared for him kindly as if he was indifferent. Fortunately, however, the two children liked the story he was telling so much that it became easier to take care of the two children than expected.
“If we fight again, we won’t talk anymore.”
“Oh, I won’t fight.”
“Despicably.”
Even if it was an old story, it was just a story that Belka had told him before, but to be honest, Belka’s story was so interesting that even if no one told him to memorize it, he memorized it diligently one by one. Moreover, since it was a story related to magic, Usher, who had a longing for magic, had no reason not to listen intently. People really say that magic alone made everything possible.
Making clothes, making a house, raising crops and livestock, etc., From big things to eating. To wash. Even the little things like talking. It made the possible very easy, even the near-impossible. Even dying people could be easily revived, and a world where almost everyone was happy continued. That’s how great magic was.
“Wow, I’m envious. If it was a place like that, my mother wouldn’t have to work so hard.”
“I know.”
Rarely did the twins agree. These guys also seem to be worried about their mother. He continued to talk, feeling a little envious. People who used magic to lead an endlessly convenient life suddenly realized that a problem had arisen one day. At some point, no one could use magic. Why? Why? Numerous people continued to try magic to find the cause of the problem, and in the end, they came to investigate the body to see if the problem was that their bodies had changed, but in the end, it was said that it was clear that no one could use magic.
What would happen if magic disappeared from a world that used to run on magic? Because of the magic that was so convenient, people became lazy and their bodies were already unable to move properly without magic. For them, magic was no different from parts of their bodies, so what if those parts were missing? As expected, many people fell into chaos and many people died. That’s because magic was a natural thing for the people of that era. However, not all magic was lost. Some magic tools made with magic were working fine even after the magic disappeared, and the problem started in earnest from there.
Those who found out about it spent a lot of money or plundered it to collect even a little more magic tools. It is said that many people died or were injured as a result of a war aiming at each other’s magic tools, and even the magic tools they wanted to obtain were used in war or lost in the aftermath of the war, so that even magic tools disappeared after magic. That’s why it seemed that there really was nothing left except for a few magic tools, and that people were leading a life that was the same as or worse than in the distant past.
But sometimes there were people who were called wizards and could use magic. According to Belka’s story, it would have been natural in the distant past, but now, the fact that they can use magic alone is the object of awe and respect. They are treated wherever they go. It was because they were the chosen ones who used magic that no one else could use.
“So I want to use magic too… What, you’re sleeping.”
While he was talking, it seemed that the children had fallen asleep. I was concentrating on the story, but I fell asleep before I knew it. It’s a different feeling to see such energetic children sleeping peacefully.
“It’s not noisy, it’s fine.”
He thought it was freedom and was happy while avoiding his stiff body, but after the children went to sleep, he got bored because he had nothing to do. First of all, he couldn’t leave the house because he had to take care of the children because of Aunt Kate’s request. After all, I have to be with the children who can’t do this or that and are asleep.
“What do you do?”
There was really nothing to do in the room. He couldn’t even go out and rolled around the room feeling stuffy. It’s not his own house, so he could notice, but there were no people to notice or he was asleep. How much did he roll around his room?
“I’m bored, I’ll look for you!”
“Ugh.”
Seeing Tom start to wake up after screaming, Usher immediately covered his mouth. He shut his mouth and stayed quiet for a while, and he was relieved to see Tom clear his frown. It was boring to be bored, but it was not acceptable for the children to wake up and bother them. Still, the boredom didn’t go away, so it was when I tried to sleep for a while like children. What caught Lena’s eyes? Lena was a girl, unlike her twin, Tom. She was tossing and turning in her sleep, and the inside of her skirt was peeking out as if it had turned over.
After she found it, her eyes kept returning to it. Underneath her skirt, the girl’s panties, which looked like scraps of white cloth, were peeking out. Even when she tried to take her eyes off her, she couldn’t take them off. She seems to have taken it for granted in the past. Ever since I saw what my friends were doing to the local idiot yesterday, I couldn’t stop looking at the girl’s body. The peppers in her panties swelled up on their own. Even though she had no intention of doing that herself, she was sitting there puffing her body out on her own. Eventually, she fidgeted and asked Lena for nothing, even though she knew she was asleep.
“Hey, are you sleeping?”
Naturally, there was no way an answer would come back. She was relieved by that, but she herself was offended by Usher. And then, little by little, he approaches Lena. Just in case, he opened her eyelids with his hand, but there was no response. Confirming that she was indeed asleep, Usher hesitated as he ran his hand over her body. I glanced behind me and saw Tom sleeping. He thought he might be caught doing this. Rather, poking himself in his chest seemed to stop him.
‘I still want to try it.’
He remembered what his friends used to do to the idiots in town. My friends, who thought it was just a place to pee, put a pepper in the girl’s place and shook her waist, seemed really happy. It was when Usher pondered for a long time, wondering if this wasn’t enough. Hearing the door open, he immediately lay down and pretended to be asleep. Then, along with the sound of the door opening, I heard Aunt Kate’s voice.
“Guys! I’m out… Sleeping.”
When she saw them sleeping, she automatically silenced her voice and came over to Usher, who was pretending to be asleep, and shook him.
“Hmm, Aunt Kate?”
Then I acted the actions and voices that seemed to have just happened to the extent that I thought it was natural. Still, she doesn’t seem to notice because she’s nervous on the inside, afraid that she pretended to be asleep while trying to touch Lena.
“So, did the kids play well without fighting?”
“Yes, I stopped talking about the old days because the kids fell asleep.”
Fortunately, she believed my lie. And two pieces of bread to share for your hard work. Usually, I only received one, so it was strange to give two, so I asked.
“Why is this?”
“Thank you for taking good care of the kids.”
At her words, Usher felt the prick in her chest grow stronger, so he refused her invitation to eat lunch and ran home. She regretted trying to do that to Lena. I guess it wasn’t like this originally. Why are you doing this? Confused, he remembered his secret friend.
“Does Belka know?”
The girl taught Usher a lot. A girl who would teach him anything he wanted to know if he had any questions. There were many times when he said things that I couldn’t understand, but he taught me everything. I ran to the back of the house where there was a secret passage unheard of in the house, hoping that this would also be taught.
