Chapter 89 – The Truth Game (1)
13. Truth Game (1)
“Oh my…”
I opened my eyes. My whole body ached and ached in different ways. However, the body was cleaner than expected. And I was alone.
“Cestia?”
Come to think of it, this was not Sestia’s room, but mine. Of course, the bedspreads and duvets were also clean. If it hadn’t been for my throbbing body, if it hadn’t been for a note on the drawer, I might have dismissed last night’s events as a dream.
“It was nice to be held tightly in your arms, but it was very regrettable to fall, but that was until last night. By the time Hendrick-sama reads this note, wouldn’t Sister Kaya and Crusader Shay be awake as well?”
The note was full of Sestia’s neat handwriting. In the meantime, she woke up first, wiped her body, moved her to my room, and even wrote her note. She was cold there, but soft bread and even water. Just in time, I hurriedly tore off the bread at the rumbling sound of my stomach. I appreciated her broad caring mind as much as her broad chest.
‘Let’s go to the next room.’
I wondered if level 9 was level 9, seeing that she got up before me and did this even after being beaten by me, I wondered if Sestia had probably started cleaning up her by now. No matter how much she spent an unforgettable night with me, I was worried about her having to take on the responsibility as her chief nun because of the loss of her child…
‘That said, there’s nothing I can do to help her here.’
The dungeon was completely cleared, and she was no longer a teammate. When we meet again, we should treat each other with respect as before. Unless there is a special business, staying here any longer would be a nuisance.
Smart-
– Who are you.
– Isn’t that the boss?
“Okay. It’s me.”
– Come on in!
I heard the voices of Kaya and Shay. Seeing that the tone was bright, I felt like I had recovered quite a bit both physically and mentally. I burst open the door with delight. They were sitting at a table and drinking tea. Looking at the empty bowl, it seems like I ate something like bread.
“Captain!”
Shay jumped up and she ran to me… She couldn’t come, so he came over to her, and she hugged her. It was like a giggling big dog, so I laughed haha. I stroked her head, actively displaying my pleasure.
“…”
“I thought it was going to be a real big deal… I’m glad you’re safe both.”
“The captain too!”
She approached and hugged Kaya, who looked at me and her Shay with envy. She subtly stretched out her arms, wrapped them around my waist, and rubbed her cheek against my chest. This time, a real laugh came out. If Shay was like a big dog, Kaya was like a cat. I mean, she was cute anyway. So, holding her left arm En Shay and her right arm En Kaya, she savored the flowers in both hands for a while. She was thankful no one was crippled. It was great mental strength, and it was a great struggle. And I also thanked God.
“Kaya, Shay. I have something to tell you guys.”
After confirming that the most important girls were safe, it was time to talk about what happened with Sestia. I’m sorry to those who just woke up, but I thought it would be better to get these things out and solve them as soon as possible.
“I actually woke up for the first time at dawn yesterday, and I woke up again at night.”
“Yes? I didn’t know the captain’s recovery was so fast…”
“It could be because I was less injured than you guys. Not that I was slightly hurt, but you guys were really serious. Cestia was the most serious, but perhaps because her level was much higher than ours, her resilience was exceptional. Anyway, that’s not what I wanted to say.”
It was to the death of trying to cheat on lovers with sober mind. Her lips were dry and her throat was burning. My breath stopped in a different way than when I heard about Cestia’s past.
“What important words do you mean?”
“If it was something that couldn’t be said to us, you wouldn’t have said it in the first place… Is this a bit embarrassing?”
“Write. Therefore.”
Shay seemed to have noticed a little already. She promised last night that she would be trash again, that she would tell them everything and ask for an apology, but it was not easy for her as the time approached.
‘Still… I can’t avoid it.’
She closed her eyes and bowed her head to them.
“Leader?”
“Captain?”
“Sorry. I’ll start by saying I’m really sorry.”
When she apologized, she thought the key was a clear apology and an expression of what was wrong. If it involves making poor self-excuses or blaming others, it will be a worse apology than not doing it.
“Last night, when you guys were sleeping soundly… I hugged Cestia.”
“… Yes?”
Kaya asked if she had heard correctly, with an expression of incomprehension, and Shay stared at me expressionlessly with her arms crossed. One by one, she swallowed her saliva and recounted the stories from last night. Her relationship with Bestia was moderately dramatized, and her story of Sestia’s past was buried.
“I am not trying to make excuses. It’s not even fair. Still, I wanted to tell you why and why she was asking for an apology. She’s already done it and belatedly begging for an apology in itself would have hurt you guys…”
“Leader.”
“It’s your right to forgive, so I have nothing more to say… Sorry. I’m really sorry.”
I said everything I could say. Even so, I couldn’t look straight into their faces. Confessing it didn’t lighten the weight on my heart. As much as he confided, a new sense of guilt took its place.
A suffocating silence passed. The warm atmosphere of confirming each other’s safety and expressing joy just a moment ago has long since disappeared. I, the culprit, didn’t intend to do it, but the expressionless expression of Kaya and Shay, who glanced at them, was fucking scary.
‘If it’s both sides, how can you shake your mouth even if it’s only 1:9… I can’t do anything because I’ve done trash…’
He swallowed saliva as carefully as possible. No matter what verdict was handed down, I was going to accept it finely, and until then, I was going to wait like a rat dead.
“Whoa…”
“Haaa…”
Kaya and Shay’s deep sighs burst out at the same time. My body trembled.
“Leader.”
“Yes!”
“It will never happen, but if I, as a nun walking along the path of Raella, would comfort my male colleague with my body instead of the captain in despair… What do you think?”
In a very calm tone, I was dizzy at Kaya’s first question, “What do you think it would be like if I got an NTR?”
What do you think? I imagined it.
A fourth colleague came in, and he had a similar story to Cestia, and Kaya, who overheard it by chance, had a relationship like that…
‘Fuck!!!’
I couldn’t imagine any more. My whole body trembled. I wonder what qualifications I have for having already embraced Cestia, but still! Just imagining it makes me cringe. I didn’t know that Naero Nambul’s DNA was embedded in me.
“That, that’s very…”
“Greatly.”
“Greatly… Anger, I think.”
“Is that so.”
Kaya’s tone was flat. It was so smooth that I couldn’t predict what would happen next. So it was more scary.
“Then, how do you feel about me now?”
“…”
I was the dumb who ate honey. I would rather eat honey. I had nothing to say. Do you have a chin?
“The captain is the most important person to me. And Sister Cestia is also a good and great person. But that doesn’t mean the two of you have a personal relationship like that, which is good for me.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Even after hearing the captain’s words, my heart toward the captain did not waver. Obviously pissed off. It’s embarrassing, but it’s because he’s the captain. Rather than pouring out anger on the captain, the thought of wanting to believe that the captain is a person who acts for a good reason. However, it is ambiguous to express anger toward Sister Cestia. If he had not been there, we would have suffered greatly from heresy, and it is thanks to him that we have been provided with various conveniences including healing here.”
“That…”
“I really don’t know how to express my anger in a situation like this. You cannot express your anger to the person who gave it to you. What should I do, Captain?”
Kaya’s words became a dagger and pierced her heart.
‘Should I tell them to hit me until the anger subsides?’
No. It was a very one-dimensional way of thinking. She didn’t even think she would like it. Her head was supposed to spin, but it creaked. She couldn’t think of anything to say that would make her feel better.
However, there was one more woman in this place.
“I basically totally agree with what Kaya said. I’m angry. Very. It’s also upsetting that the real circumstances are hidden in information that the captain has not revealed to us.”
“… Sorry.”
As expected, Shay immediately figured out that I was hiding a part of it. To say the least, my level of adaptation was clumsy. Since she completely took away Sestia’s past and hid the fact that Bestia was her daughter in a different way, the reason I held her became quite vague.
‘Even if the reason is good, it doesn’t mean that it’s justified.’
Shay tapped the empty teacup with her index finger. In the meantime, it was creepy that the tapping sound was as accurate as a metronome.
“The place is the place and the physical condition is not perfect, so I’m going to hold off for now.”
“Hold?”
I reacted to the word hold by raising my head involuntarily…
“Now, am I talking?”
“M-I’m sorry.”
What returned was Shay, who was colder than ever.
“I’m going to pamper the captain. Until my temper is resolved. I’m going to harass the chief. Until my temper is resolved. I’m going to stay away from the boss. Until my anger is resolved.”
Ding- Ding- Ding Ding Ding Ding-
The teacup metronome got faster and faster.
“It wouldn’t hurt to lock the captain in an inn room. Why don’t you block the possibility of meeting any other woman other than me or Shay?”
“That’s a good idea, sister. The captain is such an excellent and nice man, you never know what other woman will cling to you. How about getting a separate room?”
“The accommodation cost is a little wasteful, but it can’t be helped. By monitoring every other day?”
“I see. My sister can do it on odd-numbered days, and I can do it on even-numbered days.”
In real time, the plan for Hendrick’s confinement was being formulated right before my eyes. Their expressions and tone were very sincere. It contained 0% jokes.
“Ah. Do you remember this now?”
“What is it, sister?”
“I heard that the monastery dedicated to the Goddess of Love and Prosperity has the ability to control male libido. If we use that ability on the captain and we have control authority…”
“And. Did you remember Yongke? It must have been hard to think of a church that didn’t exist in Salem!”
What, what? What do you mean?
Holy power (selective) castration?
My body was shaking out of my control.
‘Sir, fuck. I promised myself that I would handle everything, but this, this is a bit!’
Saying that he had no intention of making Cestia his new lover would have the opposite effect in the current situation.
With smiles on their faces, they exchanged words that grew more and more frightening from my point of view.
I couldn’t sit still any longer. If that was a mentality attack, my mentality was already going through -100 and hitting -100 again.
Coo-!
“I’ll do everything you ask me to do, and I’ll keep begging and begging you, so please, at least about controlling your sexual desire!”
It was the first fight in my body.
