Chapter 78 – If I Could Live One Year (2)
“If you could only live in the world for one year, what would you do?”
He said something insinuatingly, and I looked at him like that with my eyes narrowed.
“…Why is that?”
“Haha. Just curious Isn’t it okay to go through this kind of agony once in a while?
“Hmm… “
Carefully, I slipped out of his warm embrace.
It’s been a year since I picked it up… It’s so out of the blue.
“I am still very young. But isn’t it too much to live a life with a limited time of one year?”
“Well, so what if it isn’t? In the family world, it can be funny that I become a hero.”
“Puhahaha. Why, if you’re as strong as Mr. Diable, can’t you become a warrior? It is said that men dream of becoming a hero at least once, and Mr. Diable might too. Why is that funny?”
After I finished speaking, I blankly looked up at the night sky. A round moon hung high in the sky.
From afar, the pitiful cries of wild beasts can be heard, and grass insects sing sadly from under the field.
Surely… If I had walked this road alone with no one by my side, I would have been very scared. I feel a little grateful for this annoying man.
“If… If so… “
It would be unfortunate. Lately, I have only gloomy memories, and I haven’t achieved anything.
Do you want to be relieved? Are you afraid Do you want to be han? Maybe all three.
I am… What would you like to do? The answer to that was too difficult.
“Hmm… It’s difficult. One year is too short. Is there any way to increase it further?”
“Haha. Of course there is. Instead, you will have to give up what is most precious to you.”
“A valuable skill?”
“If you take me as an example… Yeah, it could be about a circle. If you forcibly destroy the source of mana, your body will become weak, but you will be able to extend your lifespan.”
In short, you can increase your lifespan at the cost of losing your magic.
Then… What I’m going to say is fixed.
“Then… I don’t want to increase it.”
“Why? Wasn’t it you who said that one year is too short?”
Mr. Diabel said as he sat down on a rock up to his thighs.
It must mean that we will take a break here for a while and then depart. I answered while crouching on the floor next to him.
“It is short. But if you can’t use magic, then you’re not a wizard. Then I really become a latrine, a prostitute.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes, so I won’t give up on magic. 1 year? Let’s use it sparingly.”
A short year if short. However, considering how much I’ve been through in the past month, I can’t think of it as short.
One year is long. Maybe these scars engraved on me will heal in a year.
“While I’m thinking about it, please tell Mr. Diable too. What does Mr. Diable want to do?”
That’s why I delayed answering for now. I shifted the pressure for an answer onto him.
If you want to ask someone a question, it is natural for you to answer the question yourself, so he must answer. This is the Rainier style bomb rotation site.
Mr. Diable thought with his eyes closed, then opened his eyes.
Mysteriously colored purple eyes twinkled and turned to me as I looked up at him.
“I am… I will travel the world and meet many people.”
“Ohh. Would you like to travel?”
“Travel… Yes, you could call it a trip. I have fulfilled my duty by sitting lonely in a quiet castle for the rest of my life, then I want to travel and see various aspects of humans. That is my wish.”
“Huh… I see… “
Mr. Diable seems to have no acquaintances. He’s heard that his life is being sought, but he’s lived a lonely life all his life, and he feels a bit pity.
Is not it. My nose sleeps three, but who is pitiful?
“By the way, the castle? Do you live in a castle?”
“Okay. If you call a place with two residents a castle.”
“How tall are you? Like a prince from another country… Heck, maybe the demon king… !”
“…”
“Just joke. Lol.”
If it wasn’t interesting enough, he would look away while still frozen. I slapped his thighs and apologized earnestly.
Since I broke up with Ab, I haven’t had a conversation like that, so it seems that my sense of humor is dead. I thought it was a rather funny joke…
Roaring-
Under the settled silence, the brightly burning Doongdoonggi wiggled happily. Watching it circle around me, I wiggled my toes too.
Judging from the fact that he lives in a castle, he is not an ordinary nobleman… Looking at that way of speaking and shining purple eyes, wouldn’t it be like being a prince from another kingdom?
“Travel… Umm… “
With that thought in mind, I mumbled out a few words. Mr. Diable managed to recognize one of them and brought him up.
“Okay. Travel heals the weary mind and breathes new vitality into life. Besides, you may form an unexpected and meaningful relationship along the way.”
Ugh… Dunno. Complex.
With my trivial concentration, it is impossible to concentrate any longer. I put aside my reasoning about his identity and opened my mouth in a playful voice.
“A significant relationship? Hehe… Maybe it’s me~”
Poke his stocky thighs and grin at him. Even so, he rolls his eyes here and there, looking for a place to play.
Maybe this is what Chloe, Av, and Jihyun told me about my “Original” Self.
I hadn’t played around like this since Jihyun and Rafe’s sexual toilet.
“Haha… “
Mr. Diabel, who I thought would turn his face away and be ashamed like Mr. Someone, looked down in my direction and met his eyes.
Something… Do you think it’s wrong?
A large hand stretched out and landed on top of my head, which smiled mischievously. He raised an eyebrow and stroked my hair.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t touch… “
“Don’t deny it. I was able to meet you like this because I went on a trip.”
“…Eh.”
This, this reaction… Didn’t you mean?!
“Uh… Oops, moo, moo, what… “
I jumped up from my seat, flapping my hands and fanning my hands to cool off. Mr. Diable smiled and looked at me while I was making a fuss.
I didn’t know you could eat a room like this.
An annoying person too. There are quite a few techniques to embarrass people…
“I’m glad I can help you… “
“Whoop whoop… ! No matter how much flattery there is, there is no congo? My family is poor, so I have nothing to give as compensation! I have no intention of giving it to you in the first place!”
“…Do whatever you want. Because I already feel enough worth and pleasure thanks to you.”
The day is hot. Weird? Is it winter now?
The bugs and wild beasts seem to have fallen asleep, and only the sounds of swallowing saliva and beating of the heart can be heard around.
… Found out. Why did he rescue me and try to stay with me, shaking off even his colleague, Mr. Alphonse.
“Heh, heh… He said he prefers women with mature looks, but it was all a lie… !”
“…?”
There have been many situations that I could have noticed so far.
Seeing that he keeps giving me food, gently stroking my hair or trying to hold my arm, and even now, when I see him leading a conversation like this…
He must be obsessed with me. It’s the first time that someone other than Abu likes me rationally, so I guess I haven’t noticed until now.
I had a lot of opportunities to take it, but I wonder why I didn’t do it… There must be a reason for everything
“Whoop whoop… “
The important thing is that he has feelings for me, who must be royalty from another kingdom.
Besides, he’s a male that’s more than an Ab, possessing gentlemanly powers to the extent that he won’t attack me right away, and even terrifying combat power. To me, a female who has lost everything… It can be said that they are the perfect pair.
“I, I still have Avga… That… Still, Abu abandoned me. Huh… Then it’s ok… Me?”
“What are you talking about mumbling to yourself? What I was talking about when I came here… “
“If you’re royalty, you’ll have a lot of money… Besides, since he’s strong, he might be able to live up to that crazy bitch… ?”
I hate that man! If the royal family wants to take me, a commoner, as her wife, the reality is that they have no choice but to accept it!
I won’t be able to live properly in this country anyway because Iris is stamped on me, so there is only one option left for me.
“Lenny?”
“…Good!”
I made up my mind.
My only plan was to go home, but I have a new plan.
“Me too! If I could only live for a year, I would go on a trip too! Wow! Coincidentally, Mr. Diable also wants to go on a trip… Child chaam… This is unavoidable… !”
“Ha… I’m seriously asking Rainier.”
“Jeon! Serious! Do!”
It’s an established fact that this man passed on to me, so I just need to get along with him in moderation and flirt with him gently.
Let’s grow Mr. Diablo’s kingdom and eat the empire! Then Chloe, that crazy bitch won’t be able to ignore me, but rather take her as a slave and roll her around… !
“Lol… “
“…What the hell are you thinking?”
After clearing my mind, I smiled and approached him. From now on, to seduce him in earnest, I was thinking of doing so-called fox tricks.
Many males have admitted that I have a natural talent for attracting males. If that’s the case, it’s as easy as a prince who doesn’t know the world.
Maybe… If you hold my hand, it will be very good, right? I’m going to twist it at once and commit it so that I can’t even gamble here.
“D-Mr. Diable… !”
“Hmm?”
I reached out both of my hands to the large hands resting on his lap.
I lifted his hand with a hand that was far too small compared to his, and tucked my fingers into his, allowing me to feel the softness and warmth of my hand.
A tickling sensation spreads from my hand. I was in a state of urgency and didn’t notice it and sat with my butt on Mr. Diable’s lap.
“How is it? Are you just dizzy? Kong-dak-dak-dak?”
“…?”
“If I had told you earlier… I didn’t even have to run away… Lol. It might surprise you, so I’ll hide the fact that Mr. Diable is a prince from my parents. Ah, there’s no law saying that commoners can’t become queens, right? Concubine position is different… “
In my imagination, I was the mother of three children and the mother of a rich and strong kingdom.
The older one went to the academy and made a name for himself as a genius, the lively second one was playing tag with her ladies-in-waiting in the large garden, and the youngest one was clinging to my breasts, sucking hotly and coldly.
As time goes by, and when it’s time to die, hold his hand tightly and say.
Seobang-nim, because of Seobang-nim, I was able to overcome the hard times and the sad times. In the next life, please, my West…
“Kyaaaaagh! How how!”
It is a delusion that I repeated many times when I was young. The West in that delusion was always Ab, but now a man with purple eyes took his place.
“Ranie, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
“Haha! Now that you’ve noticed, don’t pretend you don’t know. Did you fall in love with me at first sight? I was just looking for an opportunity to talk. Right? Right?”
“…Haha.”
He smiled dejectedly and touched his forehead, perhaps ashamed of being caught.
Now, if his cheeks turn red here or he can’t meet my eyes, I’ll tease him a lot about it. Then, in anger, he attacks me and creates a ‘fait accompli’.
“Flaw… His face blushed like that… Huh?”
But something is strange. No matter how dark it is, I can’t find the slightest blush on his face, and his eyes are staring straight at me.
… What are those bewildered eyes? There must be no error in my reasoning?
“Uh… Hmm… “
No way… Was it really a misunderstanding? Am I fucking myself?!
… Oh my god.
“Ranie, actually I… “
“Ah, haha! Ha ha… ! D. Mr. Diable, did you think you could make that kind of expression? Totally funny! It was all a joke. So you can forget what I just said! Forget it!”
“… “
I am… What a stupid bitch you are.
After making a huge mistake, I’m not ashamed of it. Rather, I wished I had felt fortunate to have noticed it before I crossed the line.
The hot heat cools down and chills. For some reason, I feel a sense of exhaustion similar to what I feel when I run out of mana.
As I stretched, I grabbed the hem of Mr. Diable’s clothes as he was about to start again, and babbled with my eyes turned to the side.
“…Mr. Diabel, shall we camp here?”
“Hmm? Weren’t you going to stay up all night tonight?”
“Heh… I think I’ll be able to sleep for some reason today. I’m tired because I’ve been feeling drowsy since before. That’s why we make weird jokes and that’s it.”
Fortunately, Mr. Diabel did not carelessly ask. Instead, I took a large sleeping bag from his bag and placed it at his feet.
“What? How about another sleeping bag?”
“It was Alphonse. I’ll sleep on the floor, so don’t mind.”
The one who really just lay down on the bare floor after seeing me hiding in my sleeping bag.
Why? The sight of it makes me feel good. There are cookies that are good to eat like this, but you don’t eat these? Am I not that attractive?
“Hot!”
“…Lenny? What else are we going to do?”
So, with the sleeping bag wide open, I beckoned to him.
Now that I know that he likes me is an illusion, he is not trying to flirt.
Just… It’s cold outside. That’s all.
“Come in. It’s cold.”
“Ranie, I don’t even have to go into my sleeping bag… “
“Eachchwich. The client freezes to death, but the client doesn’t listen… “
“Ha… Really you… “
“Quickly!”
As his body shuddered and he acted as a sneeze, he sighed and approached. With a smile, I open the sleeping bag wider to make it easier for him to get in, and he carefully pushes his body into it.
Originally, it was a sleeping bag that was on the large side, so it is not too narrow if you fit it snugly. The problem is that he’s stiff and doesn’t want to attach himself.
I can’t help it… In times like these, the country has no choice but to work hard.
Instead of freezing, I wiggled my body to find the best position.
The posture of facing each other. Because of the height difference, the head is placed on his chest, but I prefer it this way.
If we met face to face now, we would show a blushing face.
“It’s warmer when we’re together. You’re not cold anymore, Mr. Diable, are you?”
“…Go to bed. We will start as soon as the day dawns.”
“Yeah~”
Little by little, the familiar smell of Ab is fading away. What took its place was the scent of Mr. Diabel, who had dedicated his arms to me.
“Then I’ll take good care of the remaining distance. Haaam… “
I yawned and lifted my head slightly to look up at him.
His face, which has not changed even though I can feel its curves as it clings to my body, is disgusting. So I dug deeper and deeper into his arms and entangled myself.
“Flaw… Good night, Dia… Umm…”
In the blink of an eye like a tidal wave, I slowly closed my eyes and said.
“…Lemarck.”
Then his body, which had been hard as a stone, trembled, but I, already drunk with sleep, did not notice.
As Lemarck said, if I had only one year left, what would I do?
Traveling like this… I really don’t know if it’ll be okay.
I’ve always wanted to be adventurous.
