187 – Side Story 2. The Story After, Garnet (3)
The story afterward, Garnet (3)
If I had to pick the most horrible thing in Garnet’s life, it would be being betrayed by her colleagues.
However, if I had to pick the most desperate time in my past, it was when I was locked in a small hut and slowly withered away without anyone’s attention.
No wonder he was so happy to see Jim, who he thought was a traitor.
In that sense, it was a great thing that he forgave an extra who seemed absolutely unforgivable.
No, in fact, it’s far from forgiveness. Garnet has never forgiven an extra even once.
The two just tolerate each other and have never had a sincere conversation.
“ha…….”
And this cabin that we have now.
The structure and location where she was imprisoned at that time were identical from start to finish.
“Yeah, I guess you prepared several.”
He’s an extra who’s been acting as a double agent. It’s only natural that he’d have plenty of hiding places to hide in and places to clean up his dirty work.
It may seem like a godsend that I discovered it, but it was just a coincidence.
The extra who had locked her up is already dead, so it’s not like there’s a god next to her to say it’s a prank.
It would be surprising if this were a sophisticated trap designed by Jim, but there is no reason for Jim to act that way.
“Garnet.”
“Noisy.”
“Are you okay?”
“I told you it was noisy?”
“Your complexion doesn’t look good. If there’s something wrong… … .”
“Oh, come on!”
Garnet was angry at Jim for worrying about her.
I know. I know that Jim is genuinely concerned about me.
But she… … .
“I’m fine.”
I didn’t want to appear weak.
Her life among the demons did not allow her to show weakness. She had no choice but to blend in with the demon world as she was a human.
She had to be more violent and stronger than anyone else, and she had to solve everything through force.
Because that was the providence of the demons that she had seen. Things that she, who was born human and was a warrior at that, could not understand.
She was betrayed and died in the past.
Since I couldn’t have anyone by my side, I couldn’t help but hate showing my weak side to others.
“It’s okay if you show weakness in front of me.”
“… … !”
However, Jim immediately realizes Garnet’s true intentions.
She looks at the things hidden deep in her heart as if she is reading her memories.
That was scary, uncomfortable, and also thankful, because at least one person knew without her saying anything.
The problem is that they find out things even when you don’t want them to know…
“okay…….”
Garnet decided to accept.
The world will change, so she doesn’t have to be as stubborn as she used to.
At least now there’s someone who understands her heart.
Garnet turned around, not hiding the tears in her eyes. Even if there were tears in her eyes, there would be a more confident smile on her lips.
Let’s admit our weaknesses.
With that determination, Garnet turned around and saw Jim waiting for her with a smile.
“… …Why are you doing that?”
“… … It’s not my fault.”
A third leg had sprouted from the lower body.
***
Jim didn’t want to be like this either.
It’s true that I understood that Garnet was deeply hurt and that I thought it would be good to comfort her.
However, there is a difference between the mind and the body.
The sight of Garnet’s dress hem ripped open during her battle with Ronobe was enough to stimulate Jim’s lower body.
I couldn’t help but look at the bare skin visible beyond the torn hem of her dress, and I didn’t have to hold back my gaze because Garnet was standing back.
“So in a way, this is Garnet’s fault too.”
“Are you crazy?”
If she had been facing her, she would have been mindful of her gaze, but Garnet turned away to avoid eye contact, which was bad.
Jim tried to smooth over the situation with some absurd logic.
Because Garnet’s gaze looking at him was so fierce.
“You, you… … .”
Garnet felt dizzy.
I wasn’t even angry. I just thought it was ridiculous, and when I opened my mouth, only a sigh came out.
After choosing her words carefully and sighing, the words that came out of Garnet’s mouth were not anger, but doubt.
“Oh, just yesterday… … .”
Didn’t you do it with Lilith? I know Lilith tried to relieve Jim’s stress.
Because of that, when I ran into him in the morning, I saw something I didn’t want to see, and after that, I was threatened, and that’s how I ended up like this.
But why is it like that?
“Can’t I just let my desires out on Liris?”
“what……?”
“It’s your first time, so you have to be considerate.”
“A kid who knows how to be considerate like that is in front of me… …!”
Are you saying things like that?
Not only did he show an unserious attitude in a serious situation, but he even went so far as to shift the responsibility.
“Think about it. Half a year. You’ve been working for half a year without any time to relieve stress. So you can’t be satisfied with just doing it once, right?”
“I don’t want to hear how many times you’ve done it!”
Garnet stepped back, shuddering.
Now, in her eyes, Jim began to look not like a dependable husband, but like an incomprehensible monster.
Could it really be okay for Garnet to be alone in the same space with Jim, who was so honest about his desires? Thinking about it, it was inevitable that Garnet would have such worries, since she had never been alone with Jim before.
“load.”
“yes.”
“You use this room.”
“Isn’t this a prison?”
“therefore.”
“… … .”
A serious tone. An eerie look that suggests that disobedience will not be tolerated.
Jim eventually quietly opened the bars and went inside.
‘Is this a proper couple?’
Jim couldn’t help but think that as he watched Garnet close the iron bars outside and lock them.
It felt like I was isolated from something dirty. No, it wasn’t a feeling, I was isolated.
Jim was upset. Was he really that ugly? If someone saw him, they would think he was doing something bad to Garnet while she was sleeping.
Even between a married couple.
‘Of course I’ll touch it a little bit.’
Jim is not the kind of bad guy who covers people while they sleep.
But, since they are a married couple, wouldn’t it be okay to have some light skinship?
Unfortunately, Jim didn’t realize that this mindset was what made Garnet wary of him.
“load.”
“Yes, Garnet.”
As I was thinking that, Garnet called Jim again.
Are you thinking of taking it out?
It’s clear that he realized that locking her up like this was too much.
Clank!
And just as Jim had expected, Garnet opened the iron door, went inside, and met Jim’s eyes.
Jim met Garnet’s eyes with a hopeful face, his eyes sparkling brighter than ever.
As if he was trying to show off his confidence.
But just as Jim could see into Garnet’s mind, Garnet could also see into Jim’s obvious mind.
The reason she called Jim was because it was so obvious what he was thinking, so she was thinking of taking further action.
“I should take this too. I forgot. You were a spy. You could at least check the door.”
“……no?”
“Your reply was half a beat late.”
Jim was a spy for the warrior party and learned many of the skills that a spy should learn.
Garnet’s judgment was correct, as there was a way to pick the lock among them.
Crunch!
Finally, he was given a failing necklace… … no, failing handcuffs.
The luggage was lifted into the air with its wrists tightly bound and inspected up to the sleeves.
“Haha, I knew it. What is this? Jim.”
“… … This is just a habit from my days as a spy. Please trust me, Garnet.”
“Of course, believe me. I believe you are a person who follows your desires.”
A device for picking various locks hidden between sleeves.
It was cleverly made into a pin and button shape, so you wouldn’t have noticed it if you hadn’t inspected it.
“Take this?”
Garnet then chuckled after completely restraining the luggage.
Seeing Jim’s helpless appearance, which had shaken her in so many ways, made her feel strangely good.
however…….
“… …Why did it get bigger?”
“No, isn’t this situation a little annoying?”
“Hey, stop saying weird things all of a sudden! You crazy b*stard!”
Garnet shuddered and stepped back as she saw Jim’s lower body, which was even more swollen than when she had seen it before.
“Can’t you think about it this way? Is it because Garnet is so attractive that this happened?”
“What are you talking about when you only see me as an object of s*xual desire?”
“Isn’t that okay?”
“what……?”
“Aren’t you a married couple? And wasn’t that Garnet’s charm?”
“What the hell are you talking about… … .”
“Otherwise, she wouldn’t be wearing such an obscene dress with such a slit on the side as if she were telling people to look at her like that! Garnet actually likes to look like that, right? So you should be thanking me instead! I’m the one who sees Garnet the way she intended, more than anyone else!”
“… … .”
Overwhelming.
Garnet was horrified at the sight of Jim pushing forward with the atmosphere.
The sight of Jim getting angry up and down was enough to make me do that.
“Please take responsibility.”
“what……?”
“I want you to calm me down since you made me angry.”
“… … .”
Garnet felt dizzy.
However, she is not one to be foolishly swept away by the atmosphere like Jim.
“What are you talking about, you crazy b*stard!”
Bam!
Garnet shouted as she stomped on Jim’s lower body, who was angry at her.
That moment.
‘what?’
She felt a strange joy that she could not express in words.
