chapter 220
Chapter 220 – Side Story: After that, the beginning
“Thank you so much for gathering here. I commend you.”
Clap, clap, clap, Latina clapped her hands. No one responded. Latina awkwardly folded her arms and muttered sullenly.
“It’s sad when you clap alone. It’s even sadder when no one responds.”
“Okay, explain why we called you here. You probably didn’t call us here to show us some useless gag, right?”
Rosaria, who had her arms crossed under her chest, glared at Latina. Latina’s gaze lingered on her ample breasts for a moment. They were a size that even a woman of the same age could not help but look at.
What’s even scarier is that among these, there are three people who are bigger than Rosaria. Strictly speaking, one is a succubus queen and the other is a dragon, so they’re not human.
“I think I have a rough idea of who this is about based on the faces, but I’m not sure if my reasons are correct.”
As he said, there were seven people in the club room. Excluding Priscilla, there were seven people who were able to move through the stopped time and went to Earth to start a new life.
Beatrice wasn’t there. If Mira hadn’t come looking for her, she would have been locked up in the dormitory, waiting for her master, and even if that wasn’t the case, she wasn’t someone who could fit in here.
“I think you all know that Priscilla went on a date with Mira.”
“Of course I know. But?”
It’s harder to not know because the bomb exploded in a place where everyone was gathered. Everyone’s expressions became strange, wondering why they were suddenly bringing up something they already knew.
“The two of you won’t end up just dating. You’ll definitely have s*x.”
“Phew?!”
At that blunt expression, Leona spit out the tea she was drinking. Rosaria, who had spilled the tea half-mixed with spit on her left side, was startled and turned her clothes back into thread.
Nika came over with something to wipe down in a hurry. Elisier and Laura slowly distanced themselves with a look of disapproval on their faces. It was a mess caused by a single word.
“… … .”
The only exception was the chairman. Erestica took a step back from the commotion and carefully rubbed her chest.
When I heard those words, my heart strangely throbbed. It was as if something was welling up inside me. And it was as if something was gathering inside me.
“Keuk! Knock, knock! You, you, what are you talking about!”
Leona, who was coughing continuously and wiping the tea spilled on the sofa with Nika, shouted. But Latina was confident.
“Miss Mira and Miss Priscilla, I said we’d date and have s*x. I can be 100% confident about that. If Miss Priscilla comes back as a virgin, I, Latina, will give up my position as a saint. No matter what.”
“You’re not a saint anymore! And, no matter what, you’re like that! You’re like that from the first date—”
“This is our first date, but it’s not our first time meeting. If we include the time we’ve been waiting for Mira, it’s been at least eight years. Eight years is enough time to go through the catalog to find new plays, not to mention sucking and biting.”
Leona, who was trying to refute it in her own way, soon shut her mouth. There was nothing particularly wrong with it.
If Mira hadn’t disappeared in the middle, the relationship would have lasted for eight years already. Although this is their first date, it’s not that strange considering how long it took for it to start.
“And, isn’t it more abnormal for a man and a woman to be together and nothing to happen? It’s human nature for a man to want to do something when he sees a pretty woman, and for a woman to want to do something when she sees a handsome man. It was the same in the world I was in. You shouldn’t be ashamed of that, Ms. Leona.”
“Instinct? Then you too, Latina-”
“I didn’t do that.”
Latina confidently puffed out her chest and cast her spell.
“That’s why I was able to be admired by people. It’s not easy to suppress a person’s natural desires. It’s not for nothing that people call me a saint.”
If Mira had heard that, she would have been dumbfounded and wondered if that was really something a Latina would say.
The seven of them, who didn’t know much about Latina from the past, also found it ridiculous. Laura snapped.
“Does that have anything to do with why we’re here?”
“Since Priscilla was the first to cross the line, I wanted to tell her that there is nothing we can’t do. It’s up to her to either take action or let Mira take action.”
“… … ?”
Laura and Elisier looked at me as if I had misheard them. Leona looked like she would have spit out another spurt if she had been drinking tea, and Nika swallowed without realizing it.
The chairman was still rubbing his chest. The pain seemed to be getting better, but then he felt something building up inside him again and it started to sting.
“Miss Mira, you have shaken off the old trauma, but you are not completely healed. The building itself is complete, but the furniture that needs to be placed inside is in a worn-out state.”
“Does this mean we should make new furniture for you?”
“You got it exactly right. Whenever you feel the need, you can let us know. Holding back is a virtue, but not expressing it is abnormal.”
“… … It seems like it’s no different from just saying let’s create a beast. If we all do it whenever we want, we’ll run out of time even if we stay in bed all day.”
Apart from Laura, who was dumbfounded, Latina was confident.
“There is a Korean proverb that says that a ghost that has died while doing something is pretty. If you can’t do it, you will have a huge grudge. Negative energy will build up. There is a reason why there are virgin ghosts.”
“Make sure to say that in front of Mira. I’m really curious to see how she’ll react.”
“No, I don’t like it.”
“It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
Priscilla smiled brightly at me. It was just a simple combination of kimbap and ramen, but Priscilla, who had been in a great mood since yesterday, seemed to like the menu.
“Is this really okay? I can go to a better place.”
“I like this. Anywhere else is uncomfortable.”
I asked her several times, but Priscilla was firm. I had originally planned to take her to a better place, but she kept insisting that such a place was inconvenient and that this place was enough, so I ended up taking her to a snack shop.
After breakfast, I spent some time sitting on a park bench. It seemed like I would have to scrap all the plans I had made for today.
“I have a question, Mira.”
Priscilla, who had been happily leaning back with her arms crossed, suddenly asked a question.
“Any questions?”
“Yeah. Would we have been able to do that even if I hadn’t approached first?”
“no.”
I said it out loud. There was no motel in my original plan. I was just going to wander around and enjoy some date courses before heading back to the Eternal Guild headquarters.
Now that I think about it, I think I would have been incredibly disappointed if it had ended like that.
“I see.”
Priscilla laughed happily again and leaned on his shoulder.
We parted ways because it was late at night. During the day, I would just wander the streets and do whatever I wanted, and when it was time to eat, I would just go into any restaurant I could find, but Priscilla never stopped smiling.
“Let’s do it again next time.”
Even though there was a look of regret in her eyes, Priscilla quietly backed away. Instead, she simply said, “Let’s do it again next time.”
They didn’t say anything until the end about whether the next time would be the first day or the second day.
“Are you here?”
After sending Priscilla away, who had something to talk to about with the blacksmith, back to the club room, I was greeted by somewhat ambiguous looks.
Laura and Elissier, whose gazes toward me were mixed with a hint of subtlety.
Rosaria looks a little nervous for some unknown reason.
Leona is so embarrassed that she can’t even make eye contact properly.
Nika keeps swallowing her saliva while looking at my lower body.
Erestica is rubbing her breasts, which feel like they have gotten a little bigger.
As I was standing there dumbfounded, wondering what she was doing, Latina came running towards me.
“Welcome back, Mira. Did you have a good date?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
Latina nodded with satisfaction at my answer.
“Thank goodness. I was worried that I would have to stay in bed all day, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“What are you glad you did?”
“It means that I’m glad that we not only had s*x but also had regular dates outside of the house.”
“… … .”
“Looking at Mira’s expression, I can see that she is very curious about how you know. Since you are in a good mood, I will explain it to you in a special way.”
“Ahem,” Latina said, clearing her throat.
“If I had been in bed all day, I would have hesitated to answer right away, so I would have taken much longer to answer. However, even though I looked like I was asking why, I answered properly, so that option is out. However, I don’t think I would have slept with him at all, so when you consider the fact that it took me two days to get back, the answer is only one.”
I just sat there blankly listening to that. There was nothing particularly wrong with it. I also knew that my conscience would prick me and I would hold back on my words, and that it would have taken much longer for me to answer.
“On the first day, we were going on a date, but Priscilla seduced me first, so I couldn’t resist, and on the second day, today, I finally came back after enjoying the date properly. What do you think, am I right?”
“… … How did you know?”
“This is me. You can be even more surprised.”
Latina shrugged her shoulders with a smug expression. No matter how you looked at it, it was a complete change from the old, quiet, and hopeful Latina.
They say that a person is made by his place, and in her own words, she was revered as a saint, so she acted accordingly, and that this is her true character, but even so, that is still the case.
“Okay, I won the bet. I’ll pay the price.”
“Ugh… … .”
Latina, who had been feeling proud, turned her head. Rosaria trembled and disappeared somewhere.
“What the heck, what did you do?”
“It’s a bet to guess what Miss Mira has been up to. The loser has to wear the saint’s outfit all day. By the way, I was the one who said I would stay in bed the first day and walk around the second day, and Rosaria was the one who said I would stay in bed both yesterday and today.”
If it was a saint’s outfit, was it the one she wore when they first met? It seemed to be the one, judging by the way Rosaria disappeared with a look of utter shame on her face.
“Oh, by the way, while you were gone, Mira, we discovered something. It wasn’t intentional, it was just a coincidence, but whatever.”
“What did you find?”
“Yes. This is about the reason why Erestica’s breasts keep growing.”
