chapter 91
91 – What was a misunderstanding
Sometimes when I talk to women, I have strange thoughts.
It was mainly about possessiveness, but like Bella and Scarlett, there are times when I imagine things I hadn’t even thought of.
I want to do this woman like this, I want to have her as mine.
It means that I have somewhat radical thoughts, contrary to my will.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m synchronizing with the guy who originally stayed in my body because I took over Altane’s body, or if it’s because of the side effects of being consumed by Ishtar, but the important thing is that it’s not my will anyway.
“Count… transformation….”
Yes. So it wasn’t my will to fiddle with those pink soles.
I tried to make excuses for Elaine, who was staring at me while pulling her knees in the corner of the bed, but every time that happened, the sound of perversion came back.
“That, did you want to touch my feet that much…? ? Then, the other time you sat me on my lap….”
“No, it’s because you look uncomfortable.”
“Then my feet… ?”
“That….”
Stop looking softer than it looks.
I barely swallowed the words that were filling up in my throat, and I sat down in the chair next to me and acted as naturally as possible.
There is no single excuse that can justify my actions in this situation, but I have to be calm.
The moment I show the slightest loophole, I will become a criminal by inviting a 17-year-old girl to my room and touching her body.
It can never happen.
“Count… ?”
Judging by Elaine’s reaction, she doesn’t look that angry yet.
In other words, there is still a chance of revival.
I immediately started thinking of an excuse.
‘I want to touch you? Or maybe he was just trying to give me a massage?’
I worked hard to come up with the best answer while fighting desperately for desire and reason in my head.
In the meantime, I managed my expression as much as possible while receiving Elaine’s subtle gaze.
Waiting for my answer, she raised her head slightly, which was buried in her.
“… From what I saw earlier, mana was clumped on the soles of her feet.”
‘f*ck.’
What does mana consist of?
This is what I came up with after thinking about it.
You came to another world and couldn’t live a decent life, only beating monsters and eventually becoming a criminal like this.
No, but Elaine said she would come to my room. Is this a problem?
But since you only touched the soles of your feet, would you mind commuting the sentence?
Since I’m cornered, I have all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts.
Even if Elaine is a kind-hearted saint, she can’t be fooled by such words—
“M, MANAGA… So what will happen… ?”
Does this work?
“Keuheum, you know how important mana is in using magic, right?”
“If there is no magic… can’t write….”
“Yes. Especially if you have golden mana. It is important to constantly circulate her mana through her body.”
“Circulation….”
“Even if you stay still, it will circulate, but there is bound to be a pool somewhere. Others are working on it through exercise.”
It hurts to cheat on Elaine, who gives such innocent eyes, but I can’t help it for my future right now.
Apologize someday though.
Not now.

Elaine, the white-haired girl, wrapped her arms around her as far as she could to hide her pounding heart.
She lowered her head, bringing her knees and head as close together as possible, hiding her trembling hands under her thighs.
And I thought about what had just happened.
As usual, she came to Lian’s room, showing off the cooking skills she had honed in Belgrove.
Unlike the first time, seeing Lian enjoying her food now, Elaine could feel a sense of happiness welling up in a corner of her heart.
And then she fell asleep.
She always fell asleep in Lian’s room.
Strangely, when I come here, my heart warms up and my body becomes listless, so even when I feel fine, I have a habit of falling asleep with my eyes closed.
Today, after waking up after a good night’s sleep, I waited for Lian, who had gone out for a while, and then looked at her book as he returned,
After reading the strangely written words and calling Lian a pervert, he buried himself in the bed….
‘Huh!’
Pang-
Elaine kicked the blanket coolly into the air and rolled around the bed.
It was an experience that made her face heat up just thinking about it.
It’s none other than Lian… To think that a person called a tyrant touched the soles of his feet….
Elaine put her hands on the soles of her own feet that he had touched.
Obviously, unlike then, I didn’t feel anything.
It’s not ticklish or anything like that. At that time, she said that Elaine’s feelings were shame and good mood.
She is nothing but her feet walking on the ground, so why did she feel that way?
When she was at her church, when Allegri groped her body, it was so disgusting and disgusting that she vomited, but why wasn’t it this time?
Elaine knew the answer.
She ― Do you know what it means for a woman to get close to or cling to a man’s body?
―In most cases, it is an expression that reveals that you have a crush on the target.
The reason why he felt different from before even though the body of another person, especially the opposite s*x, touched him.
That was because the opponent was Lian.
A person who saved himself from the religious people during the entrance ceremony and has been protecting him until now.
The reason why the scary people who used to visit me every day are not showing up.
Elaine thought it was because Lian was protecting her.
After she entered the academy, as she lived with him every day, naturally, Elaine began to consider her family as her own.
‘Family… Come on.’
What does Ryan think of her?
She said he likewise thought of her as her family when she asked this in her carriage on the way back from Belgrove.
Hearing that from others was a real joy for Elaine, who lost the preciousness of her family too early.
Family. Once again, her family comes into her own life, which seemed like she would spend her whole life alone.
But that joy was short-lived.
For some reason, a corner of my heart was pounding and I didn’t like something.
Although being part of her family was something to be proud of, the smile on Elaine’s lips showed no signs of returning.
Why?
Throughout the trip, Elaine kept asking herself why she was.
She’s more like a more rational crush.
‘What is a rational crush?’
Rihanna said her Elaine’s behavior was different from her rational crush.
The opposite s*x refers to a different gender, but wouldn’t Elaine, who has a crush on Lian, have a rational crush?
‘A crush is good… You mean she does? Then what the Count did earlier….’
Elaine buried her face in her pillow and thought for a while about what had just happened.
However, there is no way that Elaine, with such experiences, can easily come up with an answer.
Elaine could do nothing but kick back the covers as she struggled once again at the feeling of her raised feet.
‘Ho, by any chance Reina-san….’
The existence of Reina suddenly came to mind.
If it was Reina, a reliable and old-fashioned son of a duke, she would surely be able to solve Elaine’s worries.
She was two years older than Elaine, and she had as much experience in her aristocratic society, so she must have been familiar with her human relations.
So Elaine decided to go to Reina’s room as soon as it was light, and she forced her to sleep.

“Has her shoulder ever been sore or her calves sore?”
“Yes….”
“It could be simply that the muscles are tired, but it could also be because mana is pooled.”
I am selling drugs.
That also for a 17-year-old.
“How was it when I touched the soles of your feet earlier? Were you in pain?”
“Good— oh no! Go, it was tickling….”
Elaine replied, wrapping her hand around her own foot.
I knew what to do at one time, but fortunately this naive Elaine seemed to believe me.
It’s really heartbreaking to cheat on a kid like this, but I still have to live….
“You can make it circulate yourself, but you can also release it from the outside like before. Like acupressure.”
“Is that so….”
“Why is that?”
“Oh no! Lol… Then it’s all over… Song?”
I thought about it once more as I met Elaine’s innocent eyes without knowing anything.
First of all, I felt like I had passed the hurdle, so I was relieved. As for Elaine, if she believes in my words, and she naturally changes the topic here, the previous incident could end in a simple happening.
“….”
“Count… ?”
It was a sudden thought.
‘If not here….’
I can touch you once more… Is it
