chapter 22
22 – As long as it doesn’t cross the line
*
“Then we’ll be back. Take a good look at the house.”
Ha-yeon smiles brightly at Estelle and Liera as she heads for the front door. Riera’s expression is very sad and Estelle’s is calm.
‘Estel decided to go out alone on weekdays…’
Actually, among her wives, Estelle may be the most meticulous and terrifying.
“I’ll just go to Baekryong’s house to get the elixir and have a meal. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Even though it looks like it’s talking to the two of them, it’s actually for Riera. Estelle didn’t look worried at all.
“Okay… But come in quickly, honey.”
“Yes.”
She doesn’t want to let go, but she knows how helpful it is to receive a divine elixir, so it seems she has no intention of interfering.
She is obsessed with me.
But the reason for her obsession is that she loves me deep in her heart. Unless she’s an enemy, why would she be obsessed with someone she doesn’t love?
Although he has a twisted possessiveness towards me, it means that he also basically has the feeling of ‘I don’t want to be hated by me’.
I lost my emotions and couldn’t understand that love, but since the embankment of anger was broken thanks to Jin Baek-ryong, the feelings of love are slowly coming back.
The more I find my feelings for them little by little, the more scared I become.
I, who have regained only a little bit of emotion, have such affection for them, but I can’t predict how big their feelings for me will be, as they keep all those feelings intact.
If you can have this much emotion with just a handful of love, how much emotion can girls who have a lot of love have for you?
And I feel even more sorry for not being able to reciprocate that feeling right now.
It is undeniable that the girls were a little behind the scenes because this life is mainly about the relationships and emotions I have built up over the past 17 years.
To be honest, which one would you prioritize between past ties that suddenly appeared without any emotion or ties that have accumulated feelings and memories together for 17 years?
People have no choice but to prioritize the side with emotions. And it makes me frustrated that I have no choice but to do that. I become impatient because I want to get my feelings back quickly.
But just because I’m in a hurry doesn’t mean my emotions return quickly. I just want to save them a little more.
“You know I have to go get my uniform tomorrow, right? Brother?”
“Uh. We’re class A, so everyone gets free uniforms and custom made ones. Let’s all go together tomorrow morning.”
“Yes.”
Making school uniforms with my wives, who are at least 29 years old… It feels a bit bland. And did you know what I was thinking? Estelle glared at me and then slightly pinched me.
“I’m just going to go home soon. Don’t think strangely.”
‘Are you using mind reading for real?’
“Okay. I’ll be back.”
I looked at the pinched area, which was slightly reddened, and went out the front door. Outside, Ha-yeon, wearing a sky-blue dress, was waiting for me.
As the head of the Heavenly Demon Church, she always wore only black uniforms, but seeing her wearing a dress like that is very new. She seems to see an ordinary woman, not an unmanned one.
“Did you talk well with the concubines?”
“It’s true that we came here after talking… You know you shouldn’t call her a concubine in front of the kids, right? They’re fighting.”
If a battle breaks out between them, I have no confidence to stop it.
“I know, so don’t worry. I also want to have a good relationship with them.”
I’m glad.
“…As long as it doesn’t cross the line.”
Her eyes were haunted.
‘Is this fortunate..?’
The spirit in her eyes disappeared and she returned to her usual Ha-yeon.
“By the way, this is the first outfit I bought the other day and I’m curious how it looks…”
She shows her front and back while holding the ends of her one-piece dress. Is it because she is not used to showing her image as a woman? Her face is a little red.
Today she was so beautiful.
“It suits you so well. You look really pretty today.”
He reached out and stroked her hair. Having never had anyone touch her hair in her life, she used to love the way I stroked her.
Her father was a demon to the bone and never stroked her daughter’s hair. Because she had never felt the affection of her family, she might have fallen for me more easily.
“Don’t just say it, show it with your actions…”
She lifted her tiptoes with her eyes closed and raised her head towards me. She goes up to her and interlocks her hand and kisses her on the lips.
I feel like I’m more adept at kissing than before, perhaps because emotions have been added to her bodily memories.
They sucked in peach-scented saliva through each other’s intertwined tongues, and the heartbeat felt from their breasts touching made them intoxicated with the kiss.
In the end, even though it was spring and it was quite cool, we ended up kissing each other until our hands were sweaty. The very long stretch of saliva seems to show how long we’ve been kissing.
“…Seems to be a bit more skillful than before.”
You must be referring to when she first came to this world.
“I think it’s because my emotions are slowly coming back.”
Other than this, there was no reason to do so.
“Did you say that strong memories help emotions return?”
“Perhaps..? It’s the first time with Jin Baek-ryong, so I don’t know.”
“Then take a look this way.”
She untangles her interlocked hands and she pulls back slightly. Stepping back from her, she grabbed the ends of her dress and lifted it up, showing what the inside looked like.
Unlike the girly sensibility of the one-piece dress, there was a great design of adult underwear underneath. It’s an unconventional design that makes you want to call it underwear.
She lowered her skirt again and opened her mouth with a smile on her lips.
“Do you feel a little… Your feelings have returned?”
It was a really strong memory. Of all the things I’ve been through lately, it’s the most shocking feeling except for Seung-a’s.
“I seem to have gained strong memories…”
Thanks to that, I was able to walk around for a while.
Before leaving, I first put alcohol on her face. Even so, all kinds of videos were uploaded on YouTube in one day yesterday, so if I went like this, people might recognize me.
[The story of Kim Yoo-won, an awakened person who was surprised by China, shocked by Japan, and admired by the United States]
[Kim Yu-won, the head of Beatrice Academy! Who is he?]
[The reason why awakened people in other countries tremble at the name Kim Yu-won]
There are dozens of videos that make me dizzy just by looking at the title, so I turned off YouTube without even watching.
[Skill: Obtain reverse magic (1 star).]
I just got a skill because I’m using it for the first time in this life.
While using reverse magic, Ha-yeon and Ha-yeon walked around looking at various things, and before they knew it, they arrived at the address Jin Baek-ryong sent.
“No, this is…”
It was very shocking to see it when I arrived at the address he gave me.
“Whoa… That’s great.”
We were greeted by a mansion much larger than the Heavenly Demon Palace, where the Heavenly Demon lived during the days of the Heavenly Demon Religion.
“No, the company and guild buildings are separate, but this is a simple house. Why is it so ridiculously big?”
It seems that only the labor cost to manage this place will go into thousands of units every month.
“It’s where your pupil will inherit it later, so this place isn’t yours after all. Don’t be too surprised.”
Ha-yeon speaks as if it is only natural that the pupil’s things are the master’s. He is also a Muslim to the core.
When I looked closely, there was a doorbell next to the gate that was over 10m long. I pressed it after canceling the reverse magic.
Ding-dong.
I heard the doorbell, and soon after, a voice came through the intercom.
-Do you have a reservation?
At this level, it seems that you can’t even visit a house without a reservation.
-Jin Baekryong is my friend and he asked me to come over today. Are you inside?
-You must be a friend of the young master! We’ll open it right away.
His voice became noticeably brighter when he said that he was a friend of Jin Baekryong.
‘Hey… Is this the first time you’ve invited a friend to your house?’
If you look at his personality, which seems to be completely out of touch with modern people, it’s understandable.
I entered the mansion through the open gate.
In addition to the main gate, there was another door to the mansion, and since I was standing in front of it, that door also opened automatically. Jin Baek-ryong was waiting in front of the door.
“You are here…”
At a glance, there were signs that he could say it was Master, so I called.
-Speak in half! Don’t even call me Master!
“…No, you’re here. Yuwon. Hayeondo next to you.”
‘Whew…’
I barely blocked it.
“Uh. You said you were going to set up a big table for me today?”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
They answered like they were really friends rather than a teacher and student relationship.
“Okay. Let’s go to my room.”
I was wondering if I should meet Jin Baek-ryong’s father first, but fortunately, I went straight to the main topic.
I followed him and moved with Ha-yeon. The house is very large, so it took 3 minutes to walk to the room.
“Here.”
As we entered the door, we were greeted by a room larger than our living room. Rather than being envious, I only think that cleaning will be very difficult.
‘I need to buy a house of the right size.’
It’s not good if it’s too big.
“Everyone, get out.”
“Yes. Master.”
All the servants inside went out. Only then did he pull out a wooden box from one corner of the room and hand it over.
“The elixir is here.”
A wooden box containing a divine elixir that will drastically reduce the time it takes for my growth.
