Episode 53. Dale Han’s Secret Private Life (2)
“Ah, no, that… what, what?”
“What is it? It’s my chest that Mr. Dale always looks at with such a pouty look.”
Iris smiled playfully and poked my cheek.
“I see you every time.”
It’s unfair.
I only see you occasionally.
“Lies. Do you think I don’t know where your eyes go every time you meet Mr. Dale?”
“No, that’s it.”
You could say it’s a man’s inevitable instinct… What is it?
“Hehehe. If it’s Mr. Dale, it’s okay. You can look as much as you want.”
Iris caresses her cheek with a bashful smile.
“… … .”
also.
Since saving Iris from Ashtaroth last time, her actions have become much more daring.
‘Maybe he has feelings for me.’
She’s not like I’m the main character in some old romantic comedy, and I’ve noticed long ago that she has feelings for me as a person of the opposite sex.
‘Of course, me too.’
This is a woman who was my lover in a previous life.
Of course, I also had a desire to be reunited with her.
‘but.’
Not right now.
‘I don’t have the luxury of dating leisurely.’
They say that they defeated Ashtaroth and changed the future.
No, even more so because it changed the future.
There was so much to do now to prepare for the dangers that lay ahead.
‘It’s not too late to become lovers later when things have stabilized.’
We’ve been waiting for hundreds, thousands of years, so how can we not wait a few more years?
“Ahem.”
I used superhuman patience to lower my hand towards Iris’ chest.
‘Yeah, I’m holding back.’
Blessed are those who endure… .
“Eight.”
Squishy.
The blessings of the seven gods transmitted through the palm of your hand.
A soft sensation that seemed not of this world paralyzed my mind.
“Oh, Iris?!”
When I looked back at Iris with bewildered eyes, Iris, whose ears were bright red, carefully opened her mouth.
“You don’t have to hold back like that… tea.”
“What is that…?”
“Mr. Dale, you just keep putting up with everything, don’t you?”
Iris looked at me with sad eyes.
“Did you just want to rest today?”
“No, I don’t really….”
“Lies. You said you wanted to rest.”
“… … .”
How can you not know?
“Anyone who looks at Mr. Dale’s face now will know.”
“…What does my face look like now?”
“You look tired. And really tired.”
“… … .”
I tried to hide it, but I hid it anyway.
It seemed like it was revealed in his facial expression.
“sorry.”
I tried to raise my head from her lap, feeling like I was bothering her for nothing.
“Please lie still.”
Iris pressed her forehead against mine and laid me back down on her lap.
Woohoo!
A soft white glow flowed from her body.
Her eyes, which were blue as if they contained the blue sky, changed into the seven colors of the rainbow.
“Seven gods, look down on your child who has fallen from exhaustion.”
A congratulatory speech can be heard faintly.
The white glow that had been surrounding Iris’s body flowed into me through her hand.
“ah.”
A feeling of comfort, like soaking in a hot bath.
The fatigue that had been weighing on my body melted away and a pleasant languidness spread throughout my body.
“How are you? Do you feel a little more relaxed?”
“…huh.”

My mind was hazy, as if I was under some kind of hypnosis.
I asked, barely holding on to my consciousness as I tried to drift off to sleep.
“Is this really the reason you asked me to go out and play today?”
“Yes. If we don’t do this, Mr. Dale won’t get any rest.”
Iris pinched my cheek as if she couldn’t stop me.
“…thank you.”
“Huh. If you know how grateful I am, then take a rest.”
Could those words have been the trigger?
As I was barely holding on to consciousness, an irresistible drowsiness poured down on me.
“Have a nice dream.”
Finally, the saint’s hand gently caressing my forehead.
Consciousness sank into a dream.
* * *
A park bench with warm sunlight streaming down.
“eww….”
Iris clutched her head and let out a soft moan.
‘I’m crazy!’
Even if it was just to relieve Dale’s fatigue, it was too bold of an action.
‘What if you think I’m a shameless woman?’
A thousand imaginations were running wild in my head.
Regrets are always too late.
All they could hope for now was for Dale, who was fast asleep, to forget about what had happened that day.
“ha.”
He let out a deep sigh and looked down at Dale’s face as he lay with his head on his thigh.
To be exact, I tried to look down.
“Ugh. I can’t see it very well.”
Even though he had received the blessings of the seven gods, Dale’s face was obscured and hard to see because of a certain part of his body that had received too much(?).
‘Why on earth do men like this extremely uncomfortable thing so much?’
My shoulders are stiff, my back hurts, it’s hard to find clothes that fit, and it’s hard to even see under my feet. Isn’t that just a lump of flesh?
I have never once in my life had a good memory of having big breasts.
‘Well, if Mr. Dale likes it, then whatever.’
Whenever my gaze turned to her chest, I could not help but smile as I recalled the sight of him hastily looking away as if he was trying to avoid me.
“If you support your head with your hands and lower it a little… that’s right.”
As I changed my position, I finally saw Dale’s face, fast asleep.
“Haaah.”
As soon as I saw Dale’s sleeping face, a hot heat spread through the back of my neck and all over my body.
‘Aren’t you so cute?!’
Dale’s face is one that is difficult to describe as ‘cute’ no matter how you look at it.
In the eyes of a woman in love’s pod, even a mole originally looks like a hamster.
‘Ugh. This gray hair, those sharp eyes, that thick jawline, they’re all so good I’m going crazy!!!’
But as the time spent with him grew longer, she knew that the ‘Dale Hahn’ presence inside her was growing bigger and bigger.
‘Still… it wasn’t to this extent.’
The decisive turning point was the recent Masoo incident.
After seeing Dale protect her that day, literally risking his life, Dale’s presence inside her, which had been growing even without it, exploded and filled her head.
‘Even these days, whenever I get a chance, I keep thinking about Mr. Dale.’
At first, there was a time when I tried to shake off the feelings that had started to take root in my heart, thinking that it was something that a saint of the Holy Land should not have, but now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve changed my thinking to, ‘But when I think about it, there’s no rule that says you can’t love just because you’re a saint, right?’
no.
Recently, I have even gone so far as to think, ‘The seven gods also said, ‘Love one another as I have loved you,’ so this is following the word of God.’
‘Mr. Dale… seems to have feelings for me too.’
Is there any reason to risk your life to protect someone who has no feelings?
“Hehehe.”
While I was picturing a bright future with Dale in my head.
“Ugh.”
Suddenly.
The ‘unfortunate accident’ that happened a few days ago came to mind.
‘Elisha Baldwin.’
The special professor who was invited to the school after the Masoo incident suddenly stole Dale’s lips during class under the pretext of conducting an investigation.
Crack.
As I recalled the memories of that day, a shiver of sadness and anger welled up in me.
“…hmm?”
Then, Dale’s lips suddenly caught my eye.
“Ugh, ugh.”
I lightly poked Dale’s lips with my finger as he was sleeping and coughing in vain.
A soft, smooth sensation that spreads through your fingertips.
An irresistible urge boiled inside her.
“Ahem.”
Iris’s gaze, which had been wandering around, caught sight of the cookies left behind at the coffee shop earlier.
Iris carefully opened the package and picked up some cookie crumbs, sprinkling them on Dale’s lips.
“Oh, my goodness~ Mr. Dale, you’re so dirty. You have a cookie stuck in your mouth?”
Iris looks around while giving her all in her acting (awkwardly) while no one is watching.
When Iris swallowed hard and slowly lowered her head to try to overlap her lips with Dale’s.
Tiring!
“Hiyaak?!”
Iris jumped up like a blue fish caught on the shore at the sound of the alarm from Dale’s hero watch.
“Huh…?”
“Hey, hey, are you awake, Mr. Dale?”
Dale is still half asleep, half asleep.
He turned on his hero watch, glanced at the message, then immediately fell back onto Iris’s lap.
“I’ll sleep a little more… .”
“Oh, yes, yes. Okay, sleep well.”
Iris was frozen, unable to move, afraid that he might hear her pounding heart.
‘Seo, you didn’t see it, did you?’
I looked down at Dale with a nervous heart, wondering if my criminal activities had been discovered, but he was just sleeping soundly, oblivious to the world.
“Phew.”
Only then did Iris let out a sigh of relief, clearing her chest.
“hmm?”
At that moment, her gaze caught sight of Dale’s Hero Watch, left unattended with its power turned on.
The name floating on the hologram screen is ‘Juliet River’.
[When shall we meet today?]
Iris’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she read the message.
‘Surely… we were both third-year candidates, right?’
We never took classes together, but we met a few times in the main building cafeteria.
I remember him as a blond handsome guy who looked a bit irritated.
‘I don’t think I’m the type of person to hang out with Mr. Dale.’
All I know about Juliet Kang is that she is the daughter of a wealthy family known in the Republic and that her behavior is not very good.
There was a candidate who, when trying to recall a connection with Dale, was not easily recalled.
[I said I had something important to say… Can I ask you in advance? I think I need to prepare myself mentally.]
Something urgent to talk about?
Are you mentally prepared?
‘What on earth is our relationship that we’re exchanging messages like this?’
I tilted my head and looked down at the sleeping Dale, but there was no sign of him opening his eyes.
“Well… I’ll ask you later.”
Iris said as she manipulated the hologram floating in the air with the power turned on.
It was her own attempt to turn off the Hero Watch.
Beep.
“ah.”
I accidentally pressed the wrong button.
The holographic screen changed and a folder labeled ‘Photos’ appeared.
The photos stored in it were….
“uh?”
It was a photo of Juliet Kang, dressed as a woman, in a flirtatious pose.
