Chapter 86 – Barefoot Stronghold (9)
“Hey… Hian?”
Stachis, questioned, shook his head.
It was a name he did not know would come out of Bien’s mouth.
“Uh… You know?”
“How?”
When asked ‘how’ he knew him, Starchis instinctively responded.
I read some intention hidden in her words.
Rather than wondering how he really came to know Hian,
Seeing what answers come out because you already know something,
It seemed like such a question.
It was sudden and unsettling.
Even if it’s just rain
She was afraid of losing her trust in her.
“…How far have you heard?”
“Why?
“No, ah… So…”
Starchis is shocked by the sudden appearance of Hian.
It was difficult to judge which part was good to say.
“So… He’s the one who saved my life. My brother said he got the vampire’s blood from him.”
Bien nodded her head.
Starchis’ answer her was not particularly important to her.
The question was being addressed to him,
In reality, he was pressuring Elzain.
If Elsa also finds out that she is a noble,
It’s embarrassing, so she must be hiding her real name from her.
If it was such a trivial attitude, she wished it would go away.
“…Therefore?”
“That’s it.”
“…I heard that you went to the mansion to eat?
Elza, who had been acting hard all along, trembled once again.
I couldn’t make fun of her anymore.
“Ah..That, that’s right. It was.”
“…”
Vienne gladed at Rose.
She was waiting for her reaction to her.
Taking her gaze, Rose didn’t add a word to her.
She just stayed still.
“… Did you know?”
“Yes?”
“Did you know Starchis went to see the daughter of the Nisti family?”
“That…That’s…”
Rose continued to search for her answer her.
It was a subject she would like to move on without saying, if it were possible.
However, as long as the question was asked directly, she affirmed that she would lose if she said she didn’t know something about Stachis.
“…Yes.. I heard.”
“…Did you allow it?”
“…I heard it was a request from the lifesaver…”
“… It’s me.”
Bien is painful to recall the situation,
By her personal standards of her, she was ashamed to have saved him.
She had to talk now.
“…If I wasn’t here… Starchis would be dead.”
When Stachis was first stabbed by a demonic sword, it was Vien who cleansed and recovered the most serious wound.
Even though she couldn’t fully restore him, he wouldn’t be of this world without her.
Stachis also thought about that and told Vienne
She had said thank you.
“…But why am I preventing the two of us from meeting together..? I want to eat with Starches too…”
Bien speaks in a crawling voice.
Contrary to the fact that she knew, she wanted to press hard
She kept looking at Elsain or Rose.
I feel sorry in my heart that I keep aiming for Starches
Unknowingly, she grabbed her ankle her.
I didn’t know Vien,
Rose saw how pitiful it was.
She felt sorry for her.
The love for people is changed by others
Rose knew her feelings of rejection better than anyone else.
She too, because of her father her, her meeting her with Starchis
It’s not a smooth situation.
If you think about it from the van’s point of view,
She was herself playing the role of Hian.
Let’s realize that
Take a step back and eat alone with Starchis
I wonder if I’ll allow it… It’s selfish, but it blooms in my heart.
The dark feelings were so deep that I couldn’t allow it at all.
Then this Jericho, unable to be honest, beautiful saintess
She won’t be able to survive if Starchis is taken away from her.
“… Are you discriminating against me? Why can’t I become that noble?”
“…No. I am not discriminating.”
“That aristocrat’s daughter likes Starchis.”
Bien blows another bombshell.
Of course, Elza in front
Rose Nicety knows that she is the daughter of the aristocrat
It was a blown word.
“Uh.. Yes?”
Rose is perplexed.
“I heard it directly from Count Nisty. She says her daughter her is interested in Stachis. Did you know, Stachis? You wouldn’t have seen it yourself.”
“That is…”
Starchis glanced down at Rose.
“…Yeah, I knew that.”
“Did you see it?”
Bien said, pointing at Rose.
“Are you going to let Starchis meet you even though the noble’s daughter is interested in him…?”
“…”
Rose couldn’t do anything more.
I had to nod her head and acknowledge Bien’s words to her.
There was nothing wrong anywhere.
“…Starchis, don’t go to meet that nobleman.”
Rose says with difficulty.
What he learned then was that the nobility meant himself.
She tells her loved ones not to come see her
Phenomena unfold.
“… To not meet?”
“…Yes. Don’t meet me.”
Rose knew that she couldn’t help it because she was part of the acting, but
I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about having to say this in a situation where he was pushing me away.
Acting, of course, but just in case he heard this
If he doesn’t come to see you or avoids you
What should I do? I was thinking.
“…Okay.”
Stachis fell into a situational drama and accepted Elzain’s words.
At that time, the collar of Stachis is crumpled.
Rose was glancing up at him with her anxious eyes.
Just the look in her eyes could tell what was so unsettling about her.
‘Do I really have to come see you?’
She seemed to say
Bien watched as Elzain and Starchis exchanged glances.
The doubts and impulsive feelings from before are combined
She grabbed Starchis by the opposite arm and pulled him away.
“What, Vien?”
“Let’s talk for a minute.”
She looks at Stachis with anxious eyes.
Gently bow her head to Elza
After begging her pardon, she continued their conversation.
I’ve gone where I can’t hear
“Bien, why all of a sudden?”
Vien’s sudden action
Starchis couldn’t understand English.
I was wondering what to talk about.
“…Ji?”
Vien muted in an inaudible voice.
What else are you so ashamed of?
She couldn’t speak straight.
“What?”
Stachis lowered his head and listened to him.
As he approached, Bien paused for a moment.
I was started, but
She clenched her fist and asked him.
“… You guys fought, didn’t you?”
“Yes?”
Starchis Digests Bien’s Words for a Moment
She asked again.
“That… You said no, Vienne. Why do you think so?”
“I saw you earlier… You guys.”
When she said that she had seen it earlier, Starchis secretly
Malaga smeared saliva on her lips.
“… What did you see?”
I had to stay calm.
Just getting stabbed and spitting out everything first
Had to avoid
Once she figured out what she saw,
Then make excuses
It was a better choice.
“…You…You pushed me away, things like that.”
The scene Bien was talking about
Stachis hugged Elsaine’s shoulder
That was the pushing part.
“…If you like it, there’s no reason to do that. Sometimes I say, ‘Stop that’.”
“Ah..”
Starchis shook his head.
How can I say that I can play a good lover again?
She thought.
“My-I smell like sweat… I’m afraid Elsaine will hate it haha… “
Bien pondered for a moment,
I got close to Starchis’s arms.
“Oh.”
Starchis tries to hit her backwards
There was a wall behind it.
Fortunately, before he groans at her
Bien fell.
“Lie. Does it only smell good?”
In fact, I couldn’t help but smell good.
Because I washed and groomed myself for the party.
“…Starchis, don’t keep lying.”
Bien says bluntly.
Suddenly Starchis has one thing in his head
A breakthrough point has emerged.
“… Bien, but are you so curious about our fight?”
“Uh?”
“Because we’re lovers, we fight, and that’s it.”
“…”
It wasn’t the answer Bienne wanted to hear.
Starches thought for a moment,
If you’ve already heard of that scene
It occurred to her that making excuses would be more unnatural.
“There was a brief disagreement. That’s all, nothing to worry about.”
Starchis lightly grabs Bien’s shoulder and pushes him away.
Create space between the two.
Bien wasn’t worried that the two would fight.
I was more worried that they didn’t fight.
“… What disagreement?”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it.”
“…Is it a difference that can be overcome?”
Bien asks.
She already knows Elzaine’s identity her.
The difference between the two is always just lovers
Is there a difference that could be
Or the insurmountable insurmountability of commoners and nobles
I wanted to know if the difference was due to status.
Stachis’s mouth froze for a moment at Vien’s words.
Her words made him think a little.
Although Rose is not a real lover,
The difference between the two may be insurmountable.
Hian said that as long as he was a gatherer
The relationship with Rose was not to be acknowledged.
Let the starch harden for a while,
Vienne became more convinced.
My heart started pounding.
Sometimes, like a life crisis in a dungeon,
Some opportunities appear suddenly in an instant.
Starchis about their future relationship
Worrying now.
Now seemed like an opportunity.
When will you always say things like this
I couldn’t get the timing right.
I thought it would be a random story no matter when I said it.
But now.
“…Starchis, is it an insurmountable difference?”
To Stachis, Bien seemed to know and speak.
“…You..”
“Break up. It just hurts more.”
But when I said to break up,
Even if Bien knows something about her
I realized that I don’t know everything.
If you knew everything, that you two weren’t dating
Need to know
With a little relief
He listened to Bien’s words to her.
“If you’re lonely, I… I’ll fill it up for you. I will meet you.”
Bien’s silver hair was fluttering in the wind.
Unbeknownst to Starchis, she pulled the hem of her dress.
I grabbed it.
For the first time, she confessed her feelings for him.
It was a heart I had cherished for a long time.
It’s so precious, even to Starchis, the object of my heart
Couldn’t tell
Even if I lose him like this, even if I lose him like this
I love you, saying I like you
It didn’t come out of my throat,
Even if you don’t have to say such strange things
May her heart be delivered
She wished
“…I’ll do anything you want.”
Open your mouth that doesn’t move shyly
She appealed herself to him.
It was the first time I felt this way.
It’s so hard to hit her heart
I just realized it’s work.
He doesn’t even have to be number one.
Now.
Now, all it takes is for him to hand out fragments of his love to her.
Could be satisfied
Originally, I wanted to monopolize him, but
The reality of not being able to receive love at all
Since I tasted it, I received a little bit
He was acutely aware that life is better.
“…Uh..”
Stachis is momentarily taken aback by her words her.
Although she seemed to be joking around her
It wasn’t a joke.
He kept her trying to figure out her intentions her.
I looked.
After he was silent for a while,
Bien looked up at him and
He shook his head in embarrassment once again.
Seducing a man who has a girlfriend
Even though I know it’s very bad
She had no choice but to do this.
Because I can’t give up on him.
Starchis looked up at himself,
He turned his head and pursed his lips.
When I saw Bien, I burst into laughter.
An important fact came to mind.
“Are you comforting me?”
He was silent for a long time
He asked her
“…”
“I told you not to worry. It’s okay.”
“…”
“Besides, what do you want me to meet you for?”
“Uh?”
Is it a word of refusal?
Is it a negative word?
Can’t I like him at all?
Bien thinks.
Everything I can give for him
Can be given,
Even if you act hateful to everyone in the world
If it’s as good as him, I can be a good kid.
No matter who hates you
He doesn’t care if he’s not hated only by him.
Is he still not accepting himself?
Starches says
“You should meet that guy who is much cooler than me you said, right?”
Bien blinks her eyes
I looked up at Stachis’ words.
“…What?”
As it turned out,
What catches your ankle
It was his mouth in the past.
