Chapter 104 – I Met Another Man
I don’t have any strength in my body.
A feeling of helplessness that arose in a completely different way than because I was having a hard time or something was hard come over me and wouldn’t let me go.
Anyone who has had every inch of their body tickled, inside and out, for dozens of hours with small feather-like objects, would be able to empathize with how I feel right now.
I have a problem with my senses.
I keep being blank.
If you don’t desperately stay blank,
I think I’ll do something terrible.
I want to cry.
It tickles. It doesn’t even tickle. A warm feeling clings to my body and won’t let me go. My vision becomes blurry and I end up with my mouth open like a fool.
“Flaw…”
Here was a stupid woman whose ability to live a normal life was threatened just because she couldn’t exercise and was banned from masturbating for a day.
If someone who doesn’t know her sees her, they might criticize her as a prostitute who indulges in lewdness.
No, it definitely will.
“Eve. Are you okay?”
Ah.
I’m at the academy now.
This is a café I visited once inside the academy.
The person who spoke to me was Brother Rohan.
He asked me if he could give me a moment because he had something to say to me after I finished all of today’s classes.
“I have severe blemishes. “I’m worried that there may be a health problem.”
Well, it was only natural that after being kicked out of Ian’s room yesterday, I had a hard time sleeping because my body was overheated, and I couldn’t do anything.
But there was no way I could say those things to my brother,
I forced the corners of his mouth to smile and reassured him.
“Are you taking the medicine well?”
“Ah, it was about time…”
“You know your physical condition best, so I won’t rush you. But when the time comes, it must be right. “Before anything else.”
“Yes.”
“The ring… “You’re kicking it well.”
The item that my brother had saved and that the other two professors had put a lot of effort into making was fitting well on my index finger and giving me a warm energy.
Even though Rohan seems relieved, he still looks at me with concern.
“I’m really fine. But why did you call me so suddenly?”
“Hmm. “I won’t be able to see you for a while, so I’d like to say hello.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m leaving the academy.”
“Yes?”
“I have something to worry about.”
While I was thinking blankly, something suddenly occurred to me, so I hurriedly made eye contact with my brother.
It was something close to an intuition, or a certainty.
“It’s your father’s job, right?”
“You can’t fool me. Yes.”
“That much…”
“You need to do it. Actually, I thought about it a lot. That bastard’s target is probably you anyway. “I guess I just need to stay by your side.”
“…”
“But I kept thinking that way. When do you know it will come? What if you become dangerous in the blink of an eye? I’m sure I’ll do everything I can, but isn’t it beyond my capabilities? Those thoughts won’t go away.”
My brother’s eyes were burning with hostility toward his father.
“Now is your chance since you just escaped from prison. To not give myself time to prepare something. The water spirit I attached has disappeared, but if you follow the traces, you will definitely find it. At that time, negotiation…”
“Brother…”
Actually, I don’t understand why you have to do that.
What I couldn’t understand the most was that his actions consisted solely of concern and comfort for me.
That was definitely a strange thing.
My father is a special person to me.
He personally adopted into his family an ugly girl who had nowhere to go, and the only thing left to do was to be kicked out of the orphanage as soon as she grew older.
You taught me what I didn’t know what I couldn’t know.
He was imprisoned for the crimes committed by me.
I don’t know what my life would have been like without my father.
Of course, I know that the reason for adoption was the strong insistence of Rohan, who played with me every time I visited the orphanage, but the decision-making power was ultimately with my father.
Such a good person,
Why is Idazi so hostile?
My brother says that sometimes.
I shouldn’t have brought you there then. He shouldn’t have let you be in that bastard’s sight. Then you wouldn’t have to be unhappy. And.
I know.
The feelings your brother has for your father.
I don’t have any personal grudges or personal feelings.
To him, he is his biological father.
His anger was caused only by me,
Also, the normal father-son relationship went sour
It’s only because of me.
… It’s because of what I did.
“Eve?”
One day my brother said to me.
I will atone to you for the rest of my life.
On the day when the entire family territory in the empire was reduced to ashes, in the center of the area that was burning with blue flame and leaving no trace,
Rohan hugged me and swore that.
“Eve. Eve?”
“Ah. Yes. “Brother.”
“What are you thinking about with your brother whom you won’t be able to see for a while? “This brother is sad.”
“Sorry. It reminded me of old times…”
“…”
“Ugh, anyway. “You must be careful.”
“Okay. I’ve told the other professors well, so it’ll be okay even if I’m not there. Even if he can fly and crawl, he won’t be able to misbehave even inside the academy.”
“… Then, yes, you don’t have to chase after me, right… ?”
“I can’t keep you in the academy for the rest of my life.”
“Oh. I guess so…”
I will graduate in just a few years.
As I just thought, I couldn’t understand my brother,
I decided to let him do it because I knew he was doing it because he was worried about me.
But, as a professor, is it okay for me to suddenly leave during the semester?
I guess they asked permission from the academy somehow.
As I was idly thinking that the water elemental science lecture would be canceled for a while, my brother stood up with a bitter look on his face.
“I hope the water spirit’s protection is with you.”
“As soon as… Are you going?”
“One o’clock is a busy day. Actually, it was too late to decide if I was going to worry about it. “I should have acted immediately when I heard the news of the prison escape.”
“Please make things amicable…” I hope you can resolve it.”
My brother responded with a crooked smile and then left like that.
“That won’t work. Anyway, see you next time. “My dear little brother.”
…
…
…
While I was meeting and talking to my brother, I briefly forgot about the tingling sensation in his body,
As long as the root cause was not addressed, the problem continued.
Maybe it’s more because I feel more relaxed.
Just by the hem of the school uniform skirt I was wearing shaking with my movements and tickling my calf area,
I ended up in an indescribably strange feeling.
My head and body are extremely hot.
I hate Ian and miss him.
I feel resentful of myself for suggesting that I refrain from doing this since next week is an exam.
“Huh, huh…”
Me, exhaling with excitement as I pass through the main gate of the Academy to return home,
I can feel people looking at me like I’m strange.
Normally, I would have been struggling internally to please stop watching, but now that I am pushed to my limit, such thoughts don’t even come to mind.
How did I finish that long lecture in this condition?
For the first time in a long time, I felt proud of myself.
“Home, I have to go home…”
A voice so sad comes out of my throat that anyone who hears it will think something huge has happened.
Although I was startled by my own voice, I was soon distracted by my heated body and started mugging again.
So weird, weird,
I really barely managed to move,
Due to the long lecture, the meeting with my brother, and the slow pace,
I couldn’t get home until after sunset…
“I’ve been there…”
When I entered the house, I was a little surprised.
Ian was sitting on a chair in the living room, tapping his fingers on her table.
They must have been waiting for me to come.
“Why are you so late?”
Am I the only one who felt the tone was sharp?
Now that I think about it, my impression is a little different from usual, and I even seem a little nervous.
Ian asked again.
“Where have you been?”
“Uh, that’s it. “Huh?”
“I have to answer.”
It was clearly an interrogative tone.
I think he should answer, or answer. I felt a little bit of resistance every time I said something that I often heard as a habit.
I guess I can’t help it since I’m also human.
That’s right, it definitely feels like you’re dealing with a very young child.
I am a senior. I’m your older sister…
So there is nothing wrong with me.
My head was blank, and I suddenly couldn’t control my emotions, so I turned my head and said something cheeky, as if I was pouting,
“Huh, huh, what do you know… ?”
I did nothing wrong.
“What?”
“Ah, I said, ‘What do you know?’ .”
“…”
Ian’s eyes immediately became harsh.
Oops for me. I thought I made a mistake, but it was impossible to repeat what I had already said.
Ah.
I don’t know.
Since it’s come to this, let’s provoke it further, does something mean, and get scolded instead.
If I keep going like this anyway, it’s obvious that I’ll be kicked out and spend a lonely night alone like last night.
Because I really don’t like that kind of thing, and I don’t know how to be loved, let’s make it so that they can’t ignore it, even if it means making them angry.
I decided to piss Ian off a lot.
“Well, if I tell you that I met another man, what are you going to do?”
That’s true, even if I think about it,
Ugh, what should I say,
Brother, men are men, so I’m not lying, but… Those words were perfect for misunderstanding.
What about Ian? And his face hardened.
I smiled brightly at him.
With an expression of relief.
“The owner didn’t let me date, so I met another man.”
Ah.
I told you.
While I was looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction Ian would give me,
I was instinctively afraid of the large man’s body coming so close and casting a shadow over my entire body, so my body trembled with tickles.
