chapter 66
66 – Disrespect
Rail’s eyes widened at the unexpected kiss.
When she opened her eyes, what came into her field of vision was the close-up face of Iris, whose eyes were closed with a blush on her face.
She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even think of pushing her away.
The only good thing about her was that she didn’t know how to kiss because she didn’t have experience with the opposite s*x yet.
New fluid. New fluid.
A small breath tickles her cheeks from her nose as her mouth is closed.
Iris’s mouth trembled slightly at the first kiss.
A little bit of her came to her senses and I put her hand on her slender shoulder to push her away.
“… ….”
But Iris, as if that was a signal, her arm wrapped around her neck pulled the rail even more.
Then, miraculously, she slowly began to relax, and I felt the mass that had accumulated deep in her chest disappear little by little.
Her mind settles down, and her painful memories begin to fade little by little.
If I kissed her just a little longer, it seemed that all the lumps left in her heart would disappear.
However,
“Haa… …. Ha… ….”
Rail pushed the shoulders of her delicate Iris.
It was because the core of her heart did not disappear, but was passed on to Iris as it was.
She didn’t want to see her others suffer because of her.
Rail looked up to see her iris’s reaction.
She let out a hot breath, her face reddened as if it was difficult to breathe through her nose.
Then warm breath rose from her mouth as the temperature dropped to the cold winter.
“Are you okay? Holy Maiden.”
“Gwa, it’s okay. No need to worry.”
It’s a lie.
It was short, but her expression distorted slightly for a moment, and then came back.
Iris smiled brightly as usual and asked Rail.
“How is the Marquis? Are you okay?”
“… ….”
Rail couldn’t answer when Iris looked at the condition of others while hiding her own pain.
Rail couldn’t even imagine how deep the scars would be on her bright face.
She knows how much she will suffer afterward, but she starts to feel guilty for passing on her emotions.
Iris is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of others.
She doesn’t hesitate to share her own food for the hungry.
In the eyes of others, she looked like a saint, but for Rail who knew the end of it, she looked stupid.
That’s why she hoped.
I want her to live a little selfishly.
Ttogak. Again.
Rail’s shoes made a sound and headed towards Iris.
“Hu, Marquis?”
She is taken aback by the sudden approach of the rail.
But Rail didn’t care about her reaction.
Instead, she put her hand on her delicate chin, pulled her up, and kissed Iris’s red-hot mouth.
“…… !”
Iris’ eyes wide open at her surprise kiss.
But she doesn’t show much resistance.
She slowly starts to close Iris’ eyes, and then she closes her eyes completely.
Reil, who confirmed her stable appearance, recalled her memory of her iris pulling her own feelings a moment ago.
‘Will I be able to imitate….’
She can’t judge exactly whether she can or not.
With the feeling that she just had to do it, Rail moved another energy flowing inside her body after receiving her blessing from her Iris.
This is probably divine power.
Although it was a very small amount compared to her saintess, Iris, Rail began to use her little divine power to pull back her own feelings that had passed on to her Iris.
And,
‘It’s weak, but it goes over little by little.’
Pain begins to come back to the comfortable mind.
And Iris must have felt her emotions draining away as well, so she opened Iris’ eyes wide in disbelief.
But the amount is too small.
It seemed that it would not be until morning to regain all of her feelings that had passed on to her Iris.
So Rail decided to take a little more radical action.
“…… !”
Rails twisted her head sideways and stuck her tongue in her iris’s mouth.
Then he pulled her face so she couldn’t resist.
I can feel warmth from Iris’ face touching her cheek.
At first, her tongue stiffened in embarrassment, but soon, as if she got used to it, her tongue, which had been stopped, began to move.
It’s sweet.
The taste of the first kiss was sacred and sweet.
It was not a simple kiss of children, but a deep kiss of adults.
I wonder if Rail’s actions that became radical were a success?
Iris’ emotions, which had been weak, began to come over her faster than before.
“Eup…… !”
Then, as she suddenly felt her own emotions passing over her rails, Iris hurriedly tried to tear her mouth away.
However,
‘It still exists.’
Not all of her pain that had been passed on to her had returned to its original place.
So Rail held her face with both of her hands to prevent her iris from escaping.
No matter how few saints she was in her temple, she couldn’t push the sturdy rail with her power.
After kissing her deeper for a while, Rail slowly let go of her hand that was holding her cheek only after he had recovered all her pain from her iris.
“… ….”
“… ….”
The two of them kept their distance for a while and looked at each other for a while, but neither of them said anything.
While there was an awkward silence,
Breaking her silence and gaining courage, Iris spoke first.
“Why did you bother to bring the pain back?”
She didn’t ask how Rail knew the side effects of her magic.
She
She didn’t ask how she could use magic like herself with a small amount of holy power.
She was worried about the rails that had formed a lump in her heart again.
That’s why Rail also didn’t answer right away, and after thinking for a while, she opened her mouth.
“Because I don’t want the saintess to be hurt anymore.”
She felt when the rails took her pain back from her iris.
She knows that in her heart she has only brought a very small amount of her pain.
“You don’t have to worry about me anymore. Saintess. Thanks to you, I think my mind has been organized a little bit.”
“But… ….”
After interrupting Iris, Rail spoke again.
“Stop sacrificing yourself for others. Even if I live a little selfishly, I do not blame the saintess.”
Rail knows her fate.
Knowing that Iris can heal the pain in others’ hearts, many of her people come to her and earnestly beg.
And Iris, who has a weak heart, does not refuse a single person, and she heals the pain of those who come to her.
But because of that, the mental pain starts to pile up in her heart, and in the end, she can’t stand her pain and ends her own life.
Even though Iris, her more speculative person, died, those who were helped by her did not give much thought to her death, as if they thought it was not my business.
A very lonely death felt like Euler’s death.
So, with all her heart, Rail hoped that she wouldn’t feel any more pain.
Perhaps recognizing Rail’s sincerity, Iris repeatedly opened and closed her mouth before giving her a small nod.
“Okay. I don’t know why, but like the Marquis said, I’ll try to act for me a little bit.”
“Thank you. And she will sincerely reflect on her disrespectful behavior towards the saintess.”
“Rude… action…… ?”
At her rail’s apology, Iris tilted her head and remembered what had happened a little while ago.
And remembering the hot kiss she had with her rails, Iris shook her head with both hands as her sun-red face shook her hands.
“Ah! Uh, that’s fine! Me to the Marquis first? Because I did!”
“Still, the saintess is for me…… “
“No! If you say that, the Marquis did it for me too, so don’t talk about it anymore!”
“Yes. Holy Maiden.”
Looking at the rails that finally heard her own words, Iris let out a deep sigh.
Perhaps thanks to the fact that her case was short-lived, Iris remembered a memory of her that she had forgotten for a while.
She looked at the rail and she asked cautiously.
“Come to think of it, Lila-sama seems to be unwell too. Are you okay? Shouldn’t I be helping you?”
Iris’s question filled with her worries made Rail think of Lila, who still did not come out of her room.
She, like her rails, will suffer psychologically from the death of her family.
But Rail had no intention of making her Iris meet her Lila.
“I will meet Layla in person.”
Maybe her heart has calmed down a bit with her divine power? She
She was the one she wasn’t confident to face with Lila, but she seemed to be able to meet her and talk to her now.
“Sure. I’ll go first before Lila goes to sleep.”
“Yes. I really hope Lila-sama will come back.”
Although the wounds in her heart caused by her Euler’s death were still lingering, thanks to her, her heart had stabilized a little.
Kung.
Leaving her room, the rail moved her feet without delay to Layla’s room, which had not been opened for days. Reil reached her room and knocked on the door without hesitation.
“Lyla. Can she go into the room?”
Rail addressed her from across her room in her usual light tone.
“… ….”
But, as usual, she didn’t answer back.
Unlike before, when he usually gave up on opening her door and went back to her room, Rail started knocking on Laila’s room again.
Knock. Knock.
“… ….”
There was no reply this time either.
But instead of answering, he clapped. With the sound of the door unlocking, the closed room began to open.
After staring at the open door for a while, Rail hardened her mind and stepped into her room.
