Chương 238: Chapter 21: “Yu Stays at an Inn with Karla”

"I've been summoned by the Parliament House. There might be contact."

"So it's finally happening. Should I secretly follow you?"

"No, I'm fine alone. You wait around here. It might be dangerous." I hope it's just my imagination. But a power that moves the country from the shadows without leaving a trace like this. I have a bad feeling. Even if I get off safely, Karla might be in danger.

"I see. Understood. But, going right now is questionable, isn't it?" True. Even if they say come immediately, it's normally a distance that takes almost two days by train. Last time I went by train normally so there was nothing suspicious, but... Should I hide the information that I can use Teleportation Magic despite not being a Nesla?

"That's right. Shall we kill time for about a day?"

"Then. Hey. Won't you keep me company? I've been alone on infiltration missions all this time, so I'm lonely." Karla snuggles up to me with a coquettish voice. Trying to have her existence value recognized. Trying to give up on her deceased him. She is desperate. I told this woman that there might be a way to revive her deceased lover. But, having been deceived that much. Even she understands by now. That the possibility of such a sweet dream coming true is extremely low. I'm the same.

Even if I say ultimate Space-Time Magic, there is no basis other than that Tor didn't tell an obvious lie. My head isn't happy enough to believe just that. Rather, if the experiment of that magic was the cause of Edel's destruction. After all, in reality, the probability that such a thing doesn't exist is much higher. However, if there is a possibility, I pursue it. If there is a possibility, I want to cling to it. Just that. I toured the capital with her. To be blunt, it's a date.

She frequently entangled her arm with mine, so from the side, we must have looked like an intimate couple. And before I knew it, it became night, and going with the flow, we arrived in front of a cheap inn.

"Yu. You said sometime, but..." Karla pulls my sleeve modestly. I embraced her shoulder and pulled her closer.

"I don't mind." Even though she is the one seeking it. I am the one who created this situation. I thought of myself as a terrible guy. I checked just in case, but it's built solidly enough that voices won't leak. I took a shower first, and then she also took a shower and came out. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. A chest with ample mass that usually pushes back underwear. A constricted waist and white skin.

Her moist wet brown hair has lost its usual curly habit and flows straight to her shoulders. While cheeks dyed in expectation, her expression hid a slight melancholy. Appearing in a state wearing not a single thread, she was beautiful.

"How... do I look?" To her asking modestly while feeling shy with downcast eyes,"You're beautiful. Really." When I told her honestly, she blushed.

"Ufufu. I'm a little confident in my body." On the other hand. Scars of terrible abuse and torture. My body is full of indelible scars. It wasn't something I wanted to show people much, but even looking around my body like that, she just opened her eyes wide with great interest.

"You have a cute face but a magnificent body. And—" Looking down, she giggled. Sitting next to the bed, she closed her eyes and brought her face closer, leaving it to the momentum. Her cherry-colored lips are about to touch. But I stopped her lips with my fingertips. Her shoulders are trembling slightly. It is obvious that she is forcing herself to try to forget her dead him.

"You don't have to force yourself. Keep at least your lips for him who passed away."

"......" Her opened eyes were moist. I hugged her strongly and started by kissing her neck. We are not people who don't know the opposite sex's body. We were used to it. Perhaps because both Karla and I were humans who knew the pain of bereavement with close ones and loneliness. As if to fill the loneliness held in our hearts. Just silently, we sought each other greedily. Reason peels off, and exposed hearts connect as one through the ability of the heart.

Along with the sensation of a soft body, her heart touched mine. Fragments of various memories flow in. Fear towards me, familiarity. And a dependent heart. She might also be touching my heart. A strong sense of unity wrapping both body and mind made us immersed in each other even more. [Fade to Black / Scene Break] After it was done. Karla was nestling her skin next to me, staring at me. Her expression has softened. Her fear towards me seems to have softened considerably.

I convince myself that that alone might have been meaningful. She smiled and stroked my black hair.

"Fufu. I didn't think Yu-kun was such a spoiled child."

"You too. You've been clingy all the time." I also stroke her hair back. Eventually, she sat up and leaned over me. I put my hand around her back and support her. Bringing her face close, she asked hesitantly.

"Hey. Why didn't you kill me?"

"I could have killed you, though. You had the same smell." Silence continued for a while. It wasn't awkward. We quietly feel each other's body temperature and breathing.

"... Hey. Was I mean? I could have kept silent about the truth and killed you easily without letting you know anything." Why did I dare not do that? Did I really just want to be mean? Did I want to punish you?... Maybe so. I wanted to make you taste the same feeling.

"Yes. You're mean. Really mean." She narrowed her eyes slightly and poked my cheek with her fingertip. She brings her face even closer. Disheveled hair falls on me. She rested her face on my neck and threw her body limply. Her soft weight presses further. And she said in my ear, as if whispering. Her voice was trembling weakly.

"Why do you... not blame me?" Sense of guilt, huh. Ever since she was playing the masked woman, she had been inwardly crushed by guilt. To the extent that she couldn't bear it unless she dared to act as another self. The real her is. Such a weak human who seems about to break. Really. Weak.

"I have no right to blame you. I've killed many people too. It was to live. I even killed my family and best friends."

"Is that your regret?" Did she peek into my heart after all? She wasn't surprised. I nodded silently. I felt unusually honest. That's why I might end up saying something like this.

"Karla. You can use me for now. But you know. I'm a human who doesn't know when I'll abandon you and disappear." As long as I am a FabL, I cannot stay in one world. Sooner or later, you won't be able to rely on me. The pillar supporting you will be gone again. Do you intend to repeat this? Forever.

"Why do you say such a thing?" Raising her face, she had tears in her eyes sadly. She is blaming me, asking if she will be abandoned again.

"I can't watch it. You still have Ketty, right? Even Alice, even Milia, if you consult them, they should become your support." To her opening her eyes wide in surprise. I felt somewhat embarrassed and said the rest in a murmur.

"Besides. Sooner or later, you'll surely find a new man too. Not a stopgap like this." Then she—she started shedding tears poro poro.

"Idiot. Why are you crying?"

"No... You see, I. I misunderstood you all along." Tears overflow as if a dam broke. Clinging to me, she sheds tears quietly. Something cold and warm wet my cheek. All I could do was just stroke her head until she stopped crying.

"Sorry. For now, I'll cause you trouble. Sorry." Saying so apologetically again and again. How much had she been bottling up? Finally stopping crying, she directed a heartfelt smile at me for the first time.

"Hey, Yu. Let's do it one more time." The night with her seemed likely to be long.
