Is there always so many beauties in the capital city? (7) – unedited

Merson’s overuse of magic made it possible to spend the day in a cozy bed rather than sleeping outdoors. No bug bites, no shivering in the dawn frost, no need to scrape my skin overnight because of the irritation from the grass.

However, the embarrassing red marks on my body and the stiff pain between my legs reminded me of yesterday, when I couldn’t sleep comfortably even though it was a cozy bed.

“Ugh… I’m going to die.”

As always, when I woke up after the relationship, my body and surroundings were neatly organized. Looking at the place alone, there was no trace of an affair.

I was forced to open my eyes because of Merson rubbing my lips lightly. My legs were sore when I moved, and my ankles were throbbing when I stood up. In the end, like yesterday, I had to have Merson holding me.

I rummaged through my bag, took out the dried jerky and biscuits, and held them in Merson’s arms for breakfast. Merson, unable to use his hand, lowered his head and ate what I brought to his lips.

When I was a bit full, I could see the surroundings. We passed through the green surrounding and saw a barren land. The weeds that had grown up and had their heads lowered looked lifeless.

There were sparsely populated houses along the forked road, but they looked worn out and old by the winds and waves of the four seasons. It was untouched by human hands and gave off an eerie aura. I grabbed the hem of Merson’s robe as it looked like even a ghost might pop out. Then, like a coincidence, the wind blew through my body.

Whoop!

Something fell under my feet. It was a piece of wood that had decayed to such an extent that the hardness of wood could not be expected. I saw letters engraved on the dark surface, and I narrowed my eyes and stared at it. What does it say?

“… Ho…Holden?”

Holden?!

As if being hit by cold water, every cell in my body woke up. When I said something familiar, this place must have been Bennon.

It is also the place where I first stepped into the book, and where I met Merson.

We moved a little and headed to the place where the ‘Bennon Massacre’ took place. All the corpses had been collected, and there was not a single trace of blood that was common at that time.

“I saw Erina here.”

When he opened his mouth, who had been silent, I was startled, like a criminal. Oh, looking back, it might be a crime. Assault, kidnapping, imprisonment… Well, something similar…….

I laughed awkwardly, haha, and nodded my head.

“Yes.”

“It was also the beginning of my memory.”

“…….”

“Why am I here? And why was Erina here again?”

I’m fucked. The sun was hiding in the clouds, so the sun wasn’t hot, but sweat was dripping down my back. It was a cold sweat.

Two years ago, he was the Demon King who I begged to save my life just once, but now he is treated like a servant and treating me as his wife.

I felt uncomfortable in this alien situation. I was afraid that even if I wanted to tell him everything. At first, I hid it because I was afraid that the Demon King would attack me for revenge, but now the reason for the lie has changed quite a bit.

“Erina, are you sick? You have a bad complexion.”

“Re, really? It’s because it’s hot.”

“It’s rather cool today.”

“It’s strange, my body has a little fever. Haha. It’s nothing to worry about, it’s okay.”

“Should I take your clothes off then?”

“Are you crazy?!”

If it was Merson, it really seemed like I would be stripped off. When I glanced at him in embarrassment, the red eyes were full of playfulness. A smile came to his lips and I didn’t know if it would fall off. What, am I being teased now, by Merson?

It was funny to say that it was hot, as a raindrop fell on my cheek. As I reached out, I felt small water droplets on the palm of my hand. The rain seemed to fall more and more heavily.

“Is the rainy season coming again?”

To escape the rain, the creepy place where the Bennon Villagers had lived. There was no other way but to go home. No matter how far I look from here, there is only a field of lush weeds.

“Uhh… I really hate it.”

I hate ghosts! Of course, the person holding my body was the Demon King, but what I didn’t like was that I didn’t hate gim. Besides, if it’s a shower, it’s supposed to go away from the rain for a while, but if it’s a rainy season, the story is different.

Looking at the situation, I didn’t think it was raining. It was because the dark clouds that had been gathering steadily since last night didn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

“Shall we just go straight to the capital?”

“We’re going to catch a cold.”

“It’s okay if it doesn’t rain.”

“We don’t even have an umbrella. If you’re thinking of taking off a wooden plank and carrying it on your head, then stop. It will get soggy in no time.”

“I do what Erina wants. Wouldn’t it be better to go quickly to the capital city without the rain?”

“If you can do it, that’s the best.”

If you have the ability to control the weather and stop the rain, I don’t know… It is impossible under the circumstances to leave immediately for the capital without rain.

First of all, I needed time to think, so I came to the conclusion that even though it was a little (actually a lot) uncomfortable, it would be better to pick out an empty house and go into it.

“Merson, come back… Ack!”

Uwaak!

When I was in my sophomore year in college, I once rode the most feared thing in Korea, the Viking*. What made me terrified at the time was not the near-90 degree incline or the dizzying heights.

The feeling of the intestines and the body being separated was so terrifying and terrible. It was so dizzying that it was hard to take a single step after getting motion sick day and night, so I promised myself that I would never ride the Viking again.

I had maintained it well until my 4th year before graduating from college, and now I am experiencing the same feeling.

“Merson!”

A blue light flashed across my vision. The small lights twinkling like sand on a white sandy beach gave the illusion that I had fallen in the middle of the galaxy at first glance.

Whoop-

I grabbed Merson’s neck and hugged him tightly as I felt my body float, rejecting gravity.

*a Viking ride or a pirate ship ride is a common ride in theme parks when you sit on a ship-like vehicle that rocks back and forth and can sometimes go full rotation. I never went on one so idk how it felt XD
