Chapter 145 – Under the Blanket in the Middle of the Night (1)
“Uhm…”
Perhaps it was because so much had happened yesterday, but it seemed like the fatigue in my body had not yet fully resolved.
My limbs are sore that I feel like I want to lie down in bed and sleep a little longer.
I want to keep sleeping like this.
Hmm?
When did you fall asleep…
Last night, I was thinking hard about what to talk about the next day, and I think I fell asleep before I knew it.
Unfortunately, I think I fell asleep before I could properly clean up.
I guess that’s how tired I was.
A lot had happened both physically and mentally.
I just fall asleep like this and when I open my eyes again, my mind is filled with the thought that it would be nice if everything were resolved.
I gently open my eyes and look around.
The scene before your eyes is a dark room.
Has morning not come yet?
I guess I woke up in the middle of the night.
I closed my eyes and turned over to fall asleep again.
I tried to move my arms to turn over.
And I could feel a weight on my right arm.
An object that is neither light nor heavy is pressing on my forearm.
I opened my eyes and turned my head to the right to see what the object was on my forearm.
It was obviously a dark room, but I could tell what the object was on my forearm.
Black fur, or more accurately, long black hair, was flowing gently.
And then I saw the face of a sleeping person with his face turned towards my body.
When I woke up now and looked at my body, I saw that the person holding my forearm was hugging me, exhaling in a small sound.
She is smaller than me, but she is sleeping in my arms with the most comfortable expression in the world.
Even in a dark room, I could immediately tell who was sleeping in my arms.
It was Renia.
What? Since when has Renia been sleeping in my bed?
“Umm… Jinu…”
Lenia may be talking in her sleep, but she calls my name and comes closer to my arms.
Did he sneak under my blanket while I was sleeping?
I wrapped my right arm around her and gently stroked Lenia’s head.
Why is Renia sleeping with me in my bed?
If I think about it a little, I think it might be because of what happened with Freya today.
Rhenia has been in a bad mood all day because of her Freya’s behavior.
Clearly, Rhenia was jealous of Freya.
Could that be why he crawled into my bed?
I found Renia acting like that cute.
“Yes…”
As I was unconsciously touching Lenia’s head, her sleeping eyes began to gently open.
Oh my, did I just wake up Renia?
“Oh, sorry. Did you wake up because of me?”
Renia opened her sleepy eyes and looked at my face.
“Jinuni~~.”
Lenia buried her face in my chest with her eyes closed.
I asked Renia as she came into my arms, hugging her lightly.
“When did you get here?”
Renia remained in my arms and did not move.
“…I came in after everyone was asleep. I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I didn’t come here.”
“Is it because of Freya’s work today?”
Renia didn’t move or respond to what I said.
A moment of silence passed.
Even though it is a very short time, it feels like a long time has passed.
I waited for Lenia to open her mouth.
“…I hated it so much.”
While waiting, Lenia opened her mouth.
The voice was so weak that it was hard to believe it was from Renia.
I patted Lenia’s head as I waited for her to speak.
“When I thought of Freya… Whispering together with Jinu, I was so angry… It was hard to bear it…”
Did I hate it that much?
Actually, if I think about it, something similar to this happened in the past.
When I first met Lenia, I remember her crying with extreme jealousy when she and Lien were fighting over who was her ally.
From then on, I guess I thought I was in a similar position to everyone else.
Then yesterday, when Freyja and I were talking together, it seemed like we were having a secret conversation, so I got jealous.
Renia may be surprisingly jealous and possessive.
When she was playing Elion, she had affection for the characters and did not differentiate between superiority and inferiority, but in the end, her main character was Lenia.
Of all the charging power I had, and the one that took the longest time to grow, it was Renia.
Did I subconsciously think that the most precious character in my heart was Renia?
This may have been reflected in Renia’s high desire for exclusivity.
In that case, Renia must have been going through a lot of trouble.
“I’m sorry, Renia.”
“No… Jinu, you don’t need to apologize.”
Lenia shook her head slightly from side to side in my arms, denying my apology.
“I didn’t know that Jinu and Freya would get this angry seeing them talking together…”
“Renia really likes me.”
The moment I spoke, Lenia, who had buried her face in my arms, suddenly lifted her face and looked at my face.
“Of course I do! I can tell you that she loves me more than anyone else!”
“Shh, hush! Everyone will wake up. Let’s talk quietly.”
Renia suddenly answered so loudly that she almost woke everyone up.
I looked at her Lenia, put her index finger in front of my lips and told her to lower her voice.
Even though Lenia shouted very loudly, it seems that no one woke her up.
“Luckily no one seems to have woken up. I was startled by the sudden shout.”
“I’m sorry, Jinu…”
Even though it was in her dark room, I could see Lenia’s face turning red from embarrassment.
I held Lenia tightly in her arms.
“You wanted to deny it that much, right? Thank you, Renia.”
“Jinuni…”
Lenia and I looked at each other and our eyes met.
And naturally, the two faces came closer and their lips touched.
“Jjook! Jjueup!”
The two of us kissed lightly, lusting after each other’s lips, forgetting for a moment that the sound of our lips meeting each other echoed throughout the room.
After a fleeting kiss, our lips separated.
Our lips parted, but our eyes didn’t stop looking at each other.
And I opened my mouth first.
“I plan to tell everyone what I talked to Freyja about. The reason I talked with Freyja together was to first check if it was okay to tell it to you guys.”
There was a slightly sad feeling in Renia’s eyes when she heard what I said.
“What you’re saying is that there’s something you can’t tell us yet…”
Oops! Did I make a mistake with my words?
But this is something I will talk about tomorrow when I explain it anyway.
There is a secret I cannot tell you.
I wasn’t ready to tell this secret yet, so I was thinking of asking him to wait a little while.
Among them, there was one where I fell asleep while thinking of an excuse in case something else came up.
“I was planning to talk about that tomorrow. If I were to tell you in advance, Rhenia, there is definitely a secret that she couldn’t tell you. The one she knew closely about was Freya.”
“Freya, do you know about the secret that Jinu is about to tell you?”
I shook my head at Renia’s words.
I don’t know what causal relationship was applied, but it certainly seems like Freya heard what I was saying while playing the game.
Among them, there will be some that directly mention the content of the game.
Then, only two cases remain.
Either Freyja heard me and didn’t understand what I meant, or she did and lied to me.
“No, Freya told me she didn’t know.”
Lenia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard me.
“That’s a relief. I felt really bad because it felt like I lost a player to Freya. Really, this is my first time doing something like this, so I can’t get used to it.”
Renia said with a slight smile.
“Renia, you said you didn’t even look at men when you were in the original world? You didn’t like him?”
“I didn’t like it… I guess I didn’t have any thoughts about men in the first place… At that time, the only thing I was interested in was becoming stronger. I thought I was more talented than anyone else, but I hated seeing myself fall behind.”
I’ve heard before that Renia was known as an extremely talented spiritist even before she received my powers.
“After receiving the power from Jinu, I was so happy to be proven to be a better person than anyone else. I was especially proud of being chosen by Jinu the most. Because I was in that state, the men around me were just like stones on the street. I was such an outstanding person. “It’s funny that I hang out with such insignificant guys.”
“So it wasn’t me?”
To put it that way, I am no different from men who feel like stones on the street to Renia.
Of course, I said this thinking that Renia would deny it right away.
“Of course! Jinu is incomparable to other men. In fact, when she first saw Jinu, she knew what it was like to fall in love at first sight.”
I think about it all the time, but that is so amazing.
Don’t all of my characters start with their affinity level at max as soon as they see me?
When I think of Noah, I wonder if he is a bit of an exception, but in his own way, Noah’s attitude toward people who have maximum likability is probably the same.
“I think everyone else besides me feels the same way. The moment I saw Jinu, I instinctively realized that this person was the person I was destined to connect with.”
I am always grateful to everyone who thinks that much about me, who has nothing to show for it.
Now everyone is my precious people.
In this world, my biggest goal is to live happily with everyone if I finish what Gaia wants me to do.
“Jinuni…”
While I was thinking for a moment, Lenia brought her face close to me again and kissed her lips.
“Jjueup! Jjoook! Haa, haa… Jinu…”
Just by looking at Lenia’s eyes, I could tell what she wanted.
He wants to spend a hot night with me right now.
I can also feel my pajamas getting a little damp around my legs.
It’s not a man who looks at you with such earnest eyes and tells you to go back to sleep.
