chapter 280
280.It Was Summer (2)
“Uh? It’s John! Johan~!”
“It’s not like jumping into people’s arms carelessly.”
Milia jumped into my arms and nuzzled her face into my chest like a puppy.
It’s not as soft as a woman’s, so what’s so good about it? I played with Milia’s red hair and looked at her, Elisa, who came in after her.
“John… !”
“Elisa. A long time. How have you been?”
“Yes… !”
Are you a back?
As I was hugging her back and forth, I thought to myself that I was glad that Elisa was hugging her back and forth, and I enjoyed it for the first time in a long time.
Karina also generously looked at us embracing each other with joy.
Whatever it is, he looks like the owner of a mansion.
“Johan, how was the elf village?”
“It was huge!”
“Huh? John…Who is it?”
“This is the guy you wanted to take for a walk so much.”
“Huh?”
Millia opened her eyes wide and looked at Lue. And perhaps Lue was uncomfortable with Millia’s reaction, so she hid behind Karina and looked at Millia.
It seemed like the act of trying to get him to go for a walk every day came to mind.
“Really?”
“Okay.”
“How?”
“Is there anything that can’t be done with you too?”
“That’s right!”
Millia was convinced in an instant.
If you think about it, there is no creature more mysterious than Milia, so it would be nothing for it to suddenly appear in a human body.
A story that anyone who knows the circumstances of Milia would have known.
But people who couldn’t understand what she was saying tilted their heads. But seeing as no questions were asked, perhaps they are assuming that it is a secret.
…It’s a secret that will have to be revealed someday.
There will be much less repercussions if we reveal a secret when we can clearly control it than if we are found out in the worst-case scenario.
But now it’s a bit…
“Rue! “Can I touch the tentacles from behind?”
“Oh, no! It’s sensitive!”
“Huh? “I want to touch you just once~ just once!”
“I don’t like it!”
“We’re friends!”
“You tried to put a leash on me whenever you got the chance!”
Are you kids?
I looked blankly at Milia and Lue, who had started playing tag with Karina in the middle her her, then quietly pulled away from her and stroked Elisa’s head as she came back to me.
“I missed you…”
“Did you do well on the test?”
“Yes…”
Why are you rubbing your face against my chest like this?
Elisa, who was acting like an adorable cat, slowly raised her head and looked up at me, then she slightly moved away and made eye contact with me with her moist eyes. She had a face that clearly wanted something.
And there was no way I didn’t know what Elisha’s signal meant.
Lean down to close the distance between Elisa and her.
Elisa quietly closed her eyes and accepted my lips. Because of my size, I looked a bit criminal, but I guess it’s okay if the person involved is good.
After a brief sweet kiss, I parted my lips with hers and shrugged her shoulders.
“You too are starting to resemble Millia.”
“But…I really like it.”
“Hehe, it’s a woman’s psychology to want to pamper the person she likes.”
Is that so…?
Since I don’t know anything about women’s feelings, I could only nod her head blankly. We gathered for the first time in a long time, had a quick chat, and one by one took our seats in the break room.
Karina and Milia, Elisa and Leni. Perhaps the usual number of people will gather, including Shuri, Louise, and Viola, who will appear soon.
Oh, there was Sif too.
Sif, who left her room before Millia came in, saying she was going to see her younger siblings, must have been captured by her younger siblings by now. I thought about calling her, but I thought it would be a burden for her, so she decided to hold off.
My younger siblings will be very clingy to me because they haven’t seen each other in a while, so I need to let them spend time with me.
As I was spending time with Elisa on either side of me and Karina naturally taking the seat, people began to gather in the lounge one by one.
“It’s been a while!”
“Long time no see. “John.”
“Lewis, Shuri. How have you been?”
“Man, it’s been a while. But the color on your right hand is strange? Are you hurt?”
“The contractor’s arm was cut off! “It’s a new one!”
Hey.
I intentionally stretched my sleeves long to hide it.
What if I say that?
I touched my forehead as I looked at Lue, who had made a bombshell remark.
If possible, I tried to gloss over it and just pass by. Look how the atmosphere calmed down in an instant. I opened my mouth to calm down Karina, who was started and ran towards me and rolled up her sleeves.
“Everything is healed, don’t worry.”
“Really, really?”
“Is John really hurt?!”
“I hate to say it, but at least one of her arms can be regenerated. Don’t worry too much. “If I had n’t cut off her arm, she would have died on the spot.”
“What is that…”
I could feel everyone staring at me at my words. A face that wants to know what happened that led to me cutting off my arm
“Please tell me. What happened in the city of elves?”
“That’s…”
I slowly began to tell the story of what happened in Yggdrasil.
—————–
“It’s a series of things that an ordinary person would never experience. After all, it is John.”
Lewis looked at me with respect. I ignored the burdensome gaze and observed the reactions of her companions. Overall, it was a face that said that I had worked hard to come here.
“John… You had a hard time. “I’ll take a good rest for a while.”
“Shouldn’t I be your guard?”
“No, I will do it, so just rest.”
“You don’t have to worry so much. “I got enough rest while driving the carriage-“
“No! Rest! “You can’t overdo it!”
Why even come forward and say that I will do it, since Millia even came forward. I couldn’t help but nod my head.
I was told not to do that, but it wasn’t right to say that I would do it in the near future.
It is not right to refuse even if they offer you rest as a favor.
“Then I will follow what you guys say.”
“Well thought out.”
“That’s right!”
“Then contract! Come play with me! “Please show me around the academy!”
“You should come with me!”
“I don’t like it!”
I took a moment to catch my breath while watching Milia and Lue arguing.
Still, I’m glad the story worked out well. I could see that if I came back as a one-armed person, there would be a real uproar.
“John. “Can I touch my new hand?”
“If you want.”
Karina’s hand plays with my right hand. Karina looked intently at my hand with her serious face and massaged it, as if she was checking to see if there was anything wrong with my hand her her her her.
After touching her like that for a while, Karina spoke in a low voice.
“John also used to have this white skin.”
“…It was like that so long ago that I can’t even remember when it happened.”
It was 11 years ago now, so I honestly don’t remember what I was like right after I was possessed. What’s certain is that he didn’t have the same scary look as he does now, and that he was just a serious young man with a slightly bigger build.
“Hmm, I can’t imagine…”
“Ah, I agree with that too. “I can’t picture him being pure white in my head…”
“Me too!”
“There were no scars back then and my hair was a different color.”
I can’t remember what color it was, but at least it wasn’t my current hair color.
“It’s even more interesting when you say it like that, isn’t it? “There was a time when his face looked soft, like a fierce mercenary who had gone through many hardships.”
Leni teased me in a playful voice. This is what happens when everyone goes through hardships. I smiled and answered.
“There must have been times when you were cute too.”
“When I think about it, when I first met Lennie, he seemed very young … His face was rounder than it is now … It was already a long time ago.”
“Well, I was young back then…”
“Lenny is still cute.”
“Uh, ah, Karina…”
It’s cute.
I felt Carina’s joyful mood as she watched Leni helpless with her praise.
The only time Lennie was hit like this was when Karina made fun of her.
No matter how I could punish others, I couldn’t punish Karina.
“Did you take any screenshots of Lennie when he was younger? I’m curious!”
“Unfortunately, there isn’t one.”
Without wasting time, Milia accelerated her prank. Was it funny that Lennie, whose face was so rare, couldn’t even say anything?
“Well, isn’t that the time when Karina was only playing Sif’s younger siblings? When it comes to cuteness, Karina is cuter!”
Oh, is this a counterattack? Karina widened her eyes at Leni’s unexpected counterattack, and everyone looked at her.
If you think about it, Lennie’s words were full of credibility.
Even now, she has an appearance that is incomparable to that of a high elf, and she must have had a beautiful appearance even when she was young.
“Hehe, well… I was just an ordinary girl back then…”
“I want to see Karina when she was young.”
“That’s right!”
“Maybe it’ll be there when you go to Daesinjeon?”
“Really?”
“I want to go to Daesinjeon!”
“Lenny!”
“I feel more energetic now that the uncle is here.”
“That’s right. Of course, I can’t do it without John… “
Is that so?
I took a look around the somewhat noisy lounge.
The atmosphere was chaotic, with Millia fussing, Rue wanting to go to the main shrine, and Karina being embarrassed, but I didn’t hate it.
Yes, this is peace.
It is not a battlefield where death and death bite rotten flesh, but a noisy place where peace reigns.
I was immersed in the atmosphere while playing with Elisa’s purple hair.
Because I couldn’t be in such a peaceful atmosphere other than at this time.
I enjoyed the atmosphere and spoke quietly when the sunset was almost gone.
“Pay attention just for a moment. “I have a story to tell.”
Now that I’ve had enough of my sweet rest, I have to do my job.
