How to Survive as a Player Chapter 129

#129

“It doesn’t run away.”

“then… To me… One action… “What was it?”

I thought that some misunderstanding had been resolved. Although it was only for a moment, it felt like everything had come back. However, it was not until the next day that I realized that it was my own illusion.

The warmth of the day when the misunderstanding was resolved was palpable, but Ruhak was not there. Because he was so absent, even the events of that day became blurred at some point. He couldn’t decide whether he should pretend it never happened or forget about it.

When she left the village and decided to forget about it, that clear feeling suddenly came back to Sehyeon. On that day when I struggled with the pain of sprouting wings.

Sehyeon had a lot to hear from Ruhak.

“Even now… I was sick… That’s right… .”

Ruhak’s hand stopped. His motionless fingertips seemed to express positivity. But a moment later his hand reached behind his neck and his clothes were ripped off. Still, it didn’t feel rough.

The hand that was tearing off the clothes immediately pushed and dug into the skin. My hands were colder than I expected. His shoulders tightened to the point that it was suffocating him. The field took its breath away.

“I don’t think that’s the reason… Mara.”

An almost inaudible voice came from the back of my throat. The space where her cold fingertips passed was filled with her breath. Even the lips that touch at intervals.

“If it was going to be suppressed that much, I would have suppressed it in the first place.”

The moment the lips touched the red nape of her neck, Sehyun’s body also jumped up. Sehyun’s jaw clenched tightly. But his cold hand slowly pushed into my clenched lower lip.

Crack-

It was almost at the same time that Ruhak bit the back of his neck with his teeth and Sehyun bit the fingertip that was in her mouth. However, the action did not stop.

A few times, instead of the tinnitus and headache that had been haunting me to the point of tormenting, I felt a distant feeling come back, and before I knew it, the faded feelings came back. It felt like it was weighing me down. No, I felt like I was being shaken.

“ah… .”

My eyes fluttered shut. Her hand, which had been pressing the inside of her mouth, was suddenly pressing down on her lower lip. When I felt like I was clenching my teeth, I tried to clench my teeth again, but as the heated sensation began to linger as joy, even that disappeared.

I didn’t have enough strength to close my mouth. Even while Sehyeon’s head was lowered helplessly, Ruhak persistently bit the back of his neck and lusted after him. The moment his strong hand pulled his waist tightly, Sehyun felt a crushing pain.

It hurt. Still, the act felt so desperate that all I could do was gasp. When it was severe, it felt sharp enough to scratch my spine and stayed like a residue for a while before disappearing.

Sehyun only responded with a faint moan and did not push him away. It would be more accurate to say that he couldn’t do it.

It was because I saw Ruhak’s thirst when he raised his head. At least Ruhak’s condition wasn’t like this before Sehyun disappeared. The depth of this thirst that I leaned towards was so deep that I couldn’t even imagine it now.

Even my fingertips trembled from the ferocity. However, the hunger that was showing itself to the point of being dangerous was so dangerous that I had to make an effort to embrace it.

What replaced hatred was obsession. What it was aimed at, Sehyun didn’t know yet. Still, I felt like I had heard an answer.

The hand that was pressing my lips grazed my cheek and stayed near my ear. The behavior gradually became less frequent. Sehyun’s eyes also blinked shut.

I felt hot breath on my shoulder. A long, lingering breath brought silence. At that moment when the silence deepened, Sehyeon closed his eyes again.

The arm holding my waist tightly could not erase my sense of desperation until the very end.

Maybe that’s why I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“… So, it doesn’t really hurt?”

“Oh, if you don’t believe me, just go. It’s so ridiculous that I’m even telling you this, so do I really need to convince you now? I’m telling you, I’m just telling the truth. And as you said last time, why are you so tight-lipped? “We won’t pack our rods like that either.”

“Then why am I sick?”

“I guess you’re a bit weak. And if you ask me, do I know? But no matter how weak I am, my cervical spine can’t hurt… .”

Iobel looked truly serious as she rested her chin and was lost in thought. Seeing that, Sehyun rubbed the back of her neck that was throbbing. Since the pain is still lingering, it seems like there was a bruise, but I didn’t check to see what the condition was.

Since I didn’t have anyone to show it to, I couldn’t ask anything, but then Iobel caught my eye and approached me with her wings hidden. Io Belle had bags under her eyes and looked like she hadn’t slept in days.

No, it wasn’t just him, it was all the people of the empire. I took a quick look around in the morning, and everyone was looking relaxed and facing a hectic day. I can guess the reason. Absence of load.

It was only two days ago that Sehyeon arrived in the empire.

I couldn’t remember anything else in detail because I got off the airship with a sigh, but I clearly remembered the sight of the empire through the darkness of dusk.

It was as if the world had completely collapsed. The sight of the empire without a single ray of light was breathtakingly unfamiliar. There, the people of the empire gathered together with their heads bowed. I had to chew the inside of my cheek and get down.

The dark gazes of the vassals glimmered throughout the night. The vassals’ eyes turned red at Sehyeon’s safe return, but there were also looks of disapproval within them. In fact, there were many vassals whose trust had declined.

That was a warning to Sehyeon. It was a rebuking look telling you not to think that life was yours alone. They reminded him of the heaviness of the position of Lord and of the empire rotting from its roots.

It was a frighteningly heavy seat.

“I mean, huh? Now that Rod is back, he says this, no other time. So listen carefully.”

Iobel, a new blacksmith, was unusually a vassal whose trust rose during this time. Should I say that he was one of the few who realized the need for Rod due to Sehyeon’s absence?

Maybe that’s why there was no interruption in conversation today. He was even able to answer questions that I would normally shy away from. Of course, the place for the conversation was a grassy area in the garden where the view was blocked. Inside, Sehyun was talking to Iobel with a pen attached as a guard in the distance.

Fen’s gaze was boiling and menacing, but Iobel took no notice at all.

“Then what you’re saying is that the other person may not know that I’m sick. Doesn’t this mean it won’t get better?”

“Oh, really. You’re so cruel. If you’re worried, shouldn’t you just apply saliva? They say that the nape of the neck will heal quickly even if it is chewed or not fatal. “You don’t even have to worry.”

“If it doesn’t get better.”

“Well, there is no such thing.”

Sehyun looked at Iobel intently and began to untie the strings around the back of her neck. She pulled on her clothes boldly and opened her clothes to show her with her head down, and Iobel, who had been snoring at her, bit her mouth.

When Sehyun raised her head again, Iobel was making a confused expression with her eyes wide open like a goldfish. It was as if this was possible.

“… If I had this level of obsession, I would build an empire… .”

“What happened?”

“It’s red… No, it doesn’t work like this in the first place? No matter how hard you bite, it doesn’t leave any scars on the cervical spine… !”

“So what happened?”

“Oh, it’s so spotty… ! Are you really a Black Heavenly Clan? “The nape of the neck is an erogenous zone, so it can’t hurt!”

It’s an erogenous zone. Sehyun’s eyes twitched.

“But why am I sick?”

“Oh, how do I know that! Originally, the moment it was bitten… !”

“Moment?”

“… Anyway, it doesn’t hurt. “I don’t know if it’s better.”

Iobel said, scratching the back of her head. It was an expression and attitude that did not seem false even with empty words. Sehyun pulled the loose string and began tying it tightly around the back of his neck again. Only after he had finished tying himself up to the point of drowsiness did he turn his gaze towards Io Bell again.

“So, is it true that the wings fit, and it doesn’t really hurt?”

“… It must be rapport. This is such a shame! They say you shouldn’t go around talking like that. Go somewhere and just open your mouth! “Because it’s straight to the dungeon.”

“Yes, I have no place to talk anyway.”

Iobel glanced at him with a suspicious gaze, and only belatedly opened her mouth pitifully with an expression that asked, “What is this?”

“… It might hurt a little for the first time… It won’t happen later. Communication is usually something that happens when you’re in bed, so I don’t usually do it unless I’m very possessive. That’s right! When I look at it, it’s an obsession, an obsession! Usually, they don’t go to the extent of getting their necks like that! No, there are no scars on the cervical spine in the first place… Maybe you just got bitten… ?”

“It’s been a day.”

“… “It’s so strange.”

The piercing gaze seemed to be looking at something strange. But Iobel soon shook off his attention and raised herself from the grass.

“Ah, anyway, since time is up, I’m leaving. Stop fooling around and get to work. There is a mountain of backlog, so if you get caught, nagging is not enough. “Get some medicine and apply it to that area of ​​your neck.”

“Yes, thank you for your time.”

Iobel smiled once in gratitude and walked away. Only then did she come to Sehyeon, as if her pen, which had been hiding in the distance, was flying. As if he was very anxious, as soon as he arrived, Pen reached out for Sehyun’s loosely tied collar. And with urgent hands, he started tying it again. He even spoke quickly.

“Lord, you can’t untie it in front of others.”

“Pen, gently. “I’m so sleepy.”
