How to Survive as a Player Chapter 133

#133

This is a fact that has never been mentioned, so how did I know? At that time, I had to think a lot about whether I should accept that he was paying that much attention to me, or whether I was showing it unconsciously without my knowledge.

Of course, now I know where that came from.

“I’m sorry… .”

So, at least if we were of the same mind, action was quicker than explanation.

“I’m sick of it now… Let’s stop. I have no intention of holding on to someone I don’t like and have no intention of doing anything else… no.”

A heavy silence remained. Ruhak said nothing. When he slowly raised his gaze, what he saw was distorted eyes. He looked strange, perhaps because of the moonlight.

“me you… “I hate you.”

He said it with sincerity. It was like that back then. When we didn’t know anything, when we only misunderstood each other, it was really hard to bear Ruhak who made us complain out of pain. He’d be lying if he said it didn’t hurt from the upset he had to swallow every time he pushed.

Of course I forgot. And buried it.

“… “Stop, it’s done.”

A cracked voice came out between tightly closed lips. The distorted face denied Sehyeon’s words. The heartbroken eyes looked sad. Ruhak was hurt even by these short words. Just like Sehyun did.

So you will know.

“This is why I couldn’t come. “I was sick, so I couldn’t come.”

Those eyes that whispered hatred were scary and painful, so I couldn’t come.

When the calm talk ended, the distance had narrowed. His firm fingertips brushed across Sehyun’s cheek. But at some point, his touch stopped and stiffened. His fingertips, barely an inch apart, were trembling slightly.

It was fear. Ruhak was unable to properly determine whether Sehyun’s words were true or not. Is it true or not, or did it really happen?

“… are you okay.”

I didn’t want to define what he was carrying so heavily with just one word. He had no intention of forcing me to shake it off. Ruhak was too festering to be brushed off in one go.

What Ruhak carried was regret.

Still, it was Sehyun who even embraced the pain. There was no reason why I couldn’t handle it, no matter what it was.

“are you okay.”

Ruhak’s fingertips touched Sehyeon’s ear. As soon as he reached it, a large hand cupped Sehyeon’s cheek. The moment his hand, which swept the body temperature as if rubbing, grabbed the nape of his neck, the back of his neck was pulled and he was dragged into Ruhak’s arms.

I felt a hand firmly touching my cheek. Her fingertips were still wet from slight tremors.

Ruhak just hugged her shoulders tightly and gently stroked her cheeks. He couldn’t even see his face, so I couldn’t even tell what his expression was. The silent room gradually became darker as the seconds began to shorten.

It was like his anxiety.

Will there be an end? Suddenly a thought occurred to me. Will the anxiety they experience ever come to an end?

Sehyeon was not confident that he would win the fight against that monster.

“if… If everything goes wrong… What about you… ?”

Sehyeon asked the question that he had been unable to ask because he was anxious, with the feeling that it would be the last time. This was a thought that came to mind every time I encountered the insecurities of heroes. What will be their end?

“This life for us… It’s your last chance. “No dream has ever been closer than now.”

dream. What Ruhak is talking about is probably ‘the Archduke’s dream’. Ruhak’s opinion on the last one was the same as Euncheong’s.

The end of disappearing and dying in vain.

The moment Sehyeon died, there was no next life for them. The arms hugging me tightly said so.

“What should I do…” . No, what should I do to survive?”

I expected silence. However, unlike the days when he was always silent, Ruhak tilted his head and whispered something short in Sehyun’s ear. His shoulder jumped at the sound of breathing in his ear. He could even clearly feel the feeling of moving lips.

“… “The water vein that covers the world and the shadow of the iron ingot that even that can crush.”

Sehyeon’s gaze gradually emerged. When I looked up and looked, there was Ruhak hidden in the shadows. The two eyes, which gave off a natural glow in the moonlight, were looking far away, not at Sehyeon.

“These are the things you must obtain, and the afterimage of the only dream I can tell you about.”

The moment my eyes, which had been looking towards an unknown place, closed deeply, the distant words rang again.

“But for it all to match… .”

The fingertips that had been holding my back tightly came up to press the back of my neck and lift my chin. Ruhak tilted his head and found Sehyun’s lips. At a narrow distance with only an inch left, Ruhak hesitated for a moment.

The fingertips holding the cheek conveyed a certain tremor. But soon, through a narrow gap, Ruhak conveyed the sad reality.

“… “You have to survive.”

Those were difficult words. It was extremely ambiguous as to whether we should survive until then or until the end. If we survive, will we be able to be together forever?

The vague words soon faded into a blur as they were buried under the hot flesh that parted my lips. Even the question was swallowed by the lips that touched me as if oppressing me. His lifted jaw slowly opened, and Ruhak’s firm fingertips stroked his cheek.

My fingertips were as cold as frost, but my painfully entangled tongue was horribly hot.

The behavior became frighteningly deep before I even realized it. The thick tongue cut through the breath that flowed out with difficulty, wrapped strongly around the root of the tongue, and pressed the inside of the mouth.

“under… .”

Even the lips that were tightly intertwined chafed to the point of bitterness. Sehyeon’s eyes were tightly closed. The wing feathers that had been fluttering began to stand up one by one. The firm fingertips that penetrated between them caressed the root tips of the wings.

Sehyun’s shoulders stiffened and her chin lifted up. Ruhak clenched his straight neck with his teeth, let out a thick breath, and tangled the tip of his strong feathers between the white wing feathers.

“!”

Sehyun’s vision was greatly shaken. Before he knew it, Ruhak’s tightly curled fist was shaking on his shoulder. His shoulders shook, and his rough breath barely escaped with a stifled moan.

“ah… ah… .”

My eyes blinked shut. A sensitive hand came into his blinking vision, grabbed Sehyeon’s chin, and tilted it. It was a thick tongue that slowly parted and penetrated her lips.

When the tongue touched slowly and strongly scratched the tip, my wings throbbed to the point that my spine hurt. And blacked out vision.

“Ha, ha… .”

I couldn’t even put any strength into my fingertips. Sehyun had no choice but to hug Ruhak’s shoulder tightly. No, he tried to accept it even though he was shaking. As he closed his eyes, an act of instinct and thirst touched him deeply.

A low voice rang out between them.

“you… .”

It was a blurry word. The hand that was holding her back tightly caressed her shoulder, where wings were sprouting, as if roaming around. It was the side of the wing that had been torn off. The hand, which had been wandering around for a while, finally hugged Sehyeon so tightly that it took her breath away.

And only after a while did Ruhak whisper as if he were breathing.

“… “I love you.”

Now.

It felt stinging, perhaps because it was clogged in my throat. I finally felt like I was back. At those words, Sehyeon buried his face on Ruhak’s shoulder. Those words fell into Sehyun’s ears several times. It was a horse that came back after wandering a long way.

Those words brought back everything I had neglected. Maybe that’s why this night felt so distant.

No, it was actually a distant night. So much so that it makes me cry.

“Rod, please be careful.”

“Be sure to wear your ring.”

“You must never be separated from other heroes.”

“I understand, I understand. “I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry.”

The voices of heroes filled with concern filled the air routes. Se-hyeon kept shaking her head and saying yes to the lingering send-off. Nevertheless, the heroes were told that they knew several times.

Behind Sehyun’s back, an airship was being released from the hangar, ready for departure. The moment the huge shadow came down to their feet, everyone’s eyes turned to the airship.

The time has come to part ways.

“I will be back.”

A warm wind blew through the blonde hair. Sehyeon gently flipped his hair and left a short message about the four-day journey. As I turned around with a smile, the first thing I saw was Ruhak standing at the boarding gate of the airship.

There were three heroes following him by his side. Those joining us on this journey are Euncheong, Kyle, and Roxy. There were three like this. And Owl, the frog man, was also standing far away.

Plus that basket. Owl was holding a familiar basket and looking at Sehyun, blinking her eyes.

Ten and three days have already passed since I communicated with Fan. There were only two days left until the federation meeting. And today was the day of departure for the ‘Cavalry Empire of Adin’.

It was a short and long time.

Until today, Sehyun had prepared everything she could. I had trouble sleeping. To that extent, I spent my days without even being able to open my eyes.

The level had already surpassed the target LV.30 and reached LV.34. The magic stat was over 100, but as <Depth of Love> rose to LV.3, the maintenance time compared to magic power decreased again, so I was still unable to escape the situation of pouring water on a bottomless poison.

The good news was that the increase in buffs, which rose to the expected multiplier, reached 36% as of LV.3. Every time they received <Depth of Love>, the joy that could not be hidden was revealed in the eyes of the heroes.

All heroes were like that, and even Euncheong couldn’t hide his feelings.

“Mr. Aul, come here.”

Sehyun stretched out her hand towards Owl. Owl, who was blinking his big eyes, walked quickly and came to Sehyeon’s side. Owl had a fishy smell that he couldn’t get rid of. It was proof that he was with Kwak Jeong-han the whole time.

And until today, Oul had not shown himself to Se-hyeon like Kwak Jeong-han.

“Now we will return to the cavalry empire. You should go together. “Agatha will be worried.”

Owl lowered his head for a moment and postponed his answer. But he soon nodded his head and started walking. The direction was an airship with an open entrance.

The small shoulders were now firm. Sehyeon, who was looking at the back, soon started walking. He had to leave the empire for another three days. This was why most of the heroes were left behind.

The people of the empire still expressed deep anxiety over Sehyun’s absence. Even though it was a brief absence, it was not good to see all the heroes moving in this situation. Therefore, the remaining heroes had to become objects that would reassure that anxiety.

Rattling-

As I boarded the airship, the interior of the airship, which had somehow changed, came into view. It was Fen’s work. Sehyeon glanced at the magic stone output device installed in the center of the engine room with a suspicious gaze. An invisible glass barrier was installed around the magic stone output device.

“… “I guess it’s okay.”
